The key points of alchemy he saw were only a small part of the beginning, and there should be many more later.
what happend?
Zhou Yang scratched his head anxiously, feeling extremely depressed. He had just aroused his desire to study the art of alchemy, but it was gone, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
But there are no words left, so what's the use of anger. Why are only a small part of the essentials of alchemy written down? Could it be a prank by this master? It shouldn’t be so boring!
No, the master must have a deep meaning in it.
Zhou Yang walked around the cave with a torch, but found no other clues. After thinking hard to no avail, he had to go back to the unfinished rock wall.
Endgame! A flash of enlightenment suddenly flashed in Zhou Yang's heart. If this game was left by the master, is it somehow related to the text on the top of the cave? At present, the contest between him and White has just begun, and he has not lost many stones yet. Could it be. . .
Zhou Yang did not look at the words on the top of the cave, but picked up a sunspot, gathered his thoughts, and put aside distracting thoughts. Shen Ling dropped it on the wall after a while, and Bai Zi also began to fight with him.
This went on for several more hours, with both sides making moves slower and slower, each move taking a long time to think about.
Once again, waiting for the opponent to make a move, Zhou Yang held the torch high and looked up. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. Just as he had guessed, a dense forest of words appeared again at the break!
Sure enough, only through constant chess playing and proper handling can those ancient writings be revealed. However, with previous experience, Zhou Yang did not look at the ancient characters, because he estimated that if the chess game had not been played, all the contents of the alchemy key would not be revealed.
This game is a game of division rather than handicap, so there is no such thing as a draw. Only by winning this game can you achieve your wish. Of course, in theory, there is still a draw, which can lead to a series of catastrophes, a cycle of three or four catastrophes, or even create a game of immortality.
At this time, the rules of Yiqi were different from those in ancient times. In ancient times, it was block chess. That is, two black and two white four stones fall crosswise on the four corners first, and then white first. The purpose is to limit the advantage of being the first mover to the greatest extent. However, the rules have changed since ancient times and the seat method has been cancelled, but some restrictions have still been retained.
Nowadays, chess players can play chess freely, and there are many changes. Of course, the first party must stick to the purpose. The chess game played in Shibi was obviously not ancient chess, and it was almost impossible for Zhou Yang to draw.
Since this endgame was left by the previous masters, how can it be allowed for future generations to easily create a game of immortality, let alone win the game. In other words, Zhou Yang has been immersed in this way for more than ten years before he can compete with one or two. If it were anyone else, there would be no way to start. Even so, Zhou Yang tried his best and was still on the defensive.
In fact, this is not bad. The player who arranged this endgame must have reached the top three levels of masters, and may even be in the state of trance. Therefore, Zhou Yang's intention is not to win, but to try his best to find a way to deal with it.
In the next three days, Zhou Yang spent all his energy dealing with the endgame, forgetting sleep and food, and gradually regained some of his disadvantage. And there are more and more ancient characters on the top of the cave.
It wasn't until three days later that Zhou Yang felt hungry that he gave up.
After eating some more wolf meat, he glanced at the ancient inscriptions on the top of the cave. These ancient inscriptions already occupied most of the stone wall on the top of the cave, with only a few left empty.
He was overjoyed, and he had a deeper understanding of the intentions of this master of Dan Dao and chess skills.
The master does not mean to embarrass future generations. As long as he follows the right path, he can reveal the ancient text. If future generations win, the key to the alchemy will be completely revealed. If future generations can't win, it is estimated that this technique will be revealed. It focuses on understanding, perseverance, and the perseverance to never give up.
After thinking about this, Zhou Yang no longer cares about gains and losses, and only acts based on his own character. He will only go as far as he can, and he will take winning and losing even less seriously.
I don’t know whether it was a sudden enlightenment or just a coincidence with the master’s plan. The subsequent battles were all smooth, and Zhou Yang’s mind was also blank. He regarded the sunspots under his banner as thousands of troops, strategizing, winning thousands of miles, and conquering all enemies. The battle was invincible, the disadvantage was gone, the board was in a stalemate, and his chess skills were also growing rapidly, and before he knew it, he was approaching the realm of secludedness.
Suddenly, the chess game in front of Zhou Yang disappeared, and there was nothing on the rock wall. But the top of the cave was radiant with brilliance, and those ancient texts instantly covered the cave ceiling. Every word was extremely clear, and you could see it clearly without lighting a torch. At this time, Zhou Yang was neither happy nor sad. He regarded these things as natural and right, and raised his head and stared upward.
All the essentials of alchemy are revealed!
This trick is divided into four parts. The first part is "Spirit Planting Technique", which is the method of planting and cultivating spiritual herbs and elixirs; the second part is Dan Fire Technique, which talks about how to control fire and practice elixirs; the third part is Talisman Array Technique, which is how to carve a talisman array; The fourth part is the prescription.
This is a complete set of alchemy techniques!
"Hahahaha, there is no end to the road, I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it! Is this the legendary saying where a man is trapped in a pillow and a horse is hungry and falls into the ditch!" Unexpectedly, it was meant for entertainment with others, but it was repaired Yi Qi, who was so despondent for playthings, laughed that one day he would be able to exchange for such a valuable treasure. Zhou Yang's previous worries were wiped away. He could no longer remain calm, and his nature was out of control, and he laughed wildly.
With this technique, he no longer cares about the Ziyuan Sect or the training family!
The further you go in training, the more difficult it becomes, and the more materials and pills are required. This is why everyone is willing to practice in a sect or family. One person cannot support the huge training expenses.
Alchemy masters and weapon masters are the most respected professions in the cultivation world, but the number of them is too small, often only a few in a city.
Therefore, sects and families do not provide everyone with training materials in full. They only focus on cultivating disciples with potential, qualifications or strong backgrounds. Most of them still need to struggle on their own, or find opportunities or luck.
If he mastered the art of alchemy, it would be different. He could completely break away from the shackles of the sect and practice on his own.
"Hahahaha!" Zhou Yang looked up to the sky and laughed again, and there were echoes in the cave. His laughter was lagging behind, so he suppressed his excitement, calmed down, watched carefully, and understood the key points of the alchemy with his heart.
However, half an hour later, his expression became gloomy. The Spiritual Planting Technique was okay, but he had never heard of most of the spiritual herbs and elixirs recorded in the prescriptions, let alone seen them.
Although he doesn't know how to practice elixirs, he goes out looking for spiritual herbs and elixirs all year round, so he knows the names and uses of materials at all levels, except of course the particularly high-level materials.
The spiritual herbs and elixirs recorded in this recipe were either extinct or not easily seen on the market. Anyway, he had never seen them in Tu Yan City. Moreover, most of the recorded elixir prescriptions are for middle and high-level elixirs, and there are very few low-level elixirs. Prescriptions such as Hui Ling Dan and Bai Luo Dan are not recorded.
The key to alchemy is a treasure trove for him, but the feeling of guarding the treasure trove but not being able to start is even more heart-wrenching!
"Well, it's a thaumaturgy after all. Whether you use it or not is a matter for the future. Write it down first. From now on, if you study it slowly, you may gain something. You can't beg for food from the golden rice bowl!" Zhou Yang Although I am a little disappointed, just because I don’t need it now doesn’t mean I won’t use it in the future.
After all, he has very little knowledge. The materials that Tu Yancheng does not have may be available in other cities.
At this time, he did not bring paper, pen, or jade slips. Of course, he wouldn't be able to use the jade slips, which would require spiritual consciousness. Fortunately, he has a good brain and plenty of time, so he should have no problem remembering.
I don't know how much time passed, but Zhou Yang had forgotten about the passage of time. While watching, he carved on the ground with branches, muttering a few words from time to time, and memorized the key points of the alchemy.
According to this key record, the elixirs are divided into nine categories, which are similar to the current ones. The potency of each product is very different, and the training techniques are also very different, making the difference in value even greater. With his current strength, he can barely make a first-grade elixir. If he reaches the late Kaiyuan period, he will be very confident.
Second-grade elixirs must reach the Lingtai realm before they can be refined, while fifth-grade elixirs and above must reach the Golden elixir realm.
The Essentials of Alchemy only records the elixir recipes and training methods for those below the eighth level. According to reports, ninth-grade elixirs can only be made by a ninth-level alchemist, and their level is much higher than that of golden elixirs, but they are just legendary figures.
The master who wrote the key to the elixir has only reached the eighth level, but his level should be higher than that of the golden elixir.
