Chapter 34 Alchemy

With the help of the Water Spirit Pot, Zhang Zhixuan's long-stagnant cultivation finally began to grow, and his injuries recovered quickly.

Qing Chan had already reached the first level of Qi training, and his cultivation had reached the Qi training stage. His physical strength was also much greater. He could do many tasks in the spiritual field alone, which reduced a lot of burden for Zhang Zhixuan.

The transformation of the white jade bees in the spiritual field was still continuing. In just a few days, three or four white jade bees were successfully transformed.

However, it was not known how long it would take to evolve the white jade queen bee.

Just when Zhang Zhixuan was immersed in the leisurely pastoral life, his fourth uncle Zhang Menglong suddenly appeared in front of the spiritual field.

Zhang Menglong looked at Zhang Zhixuan, whose face was ruddy, and smiled, "It seems that my nephew has recovered well, so I don't have to worry about him anymore."

Zhang Zhixuan bowed his luggage, then asked, "Fourth uncle is here, but does the family have any instructions?"

"Yes, after so many days, your ninth uncle still has no news, and it seems that the situation is very bad.

In the family, except for your ninth uncle, no qualified alchemist has been trained, and the only two alchemy apprentices all died in the chaos in the market.

Now, the most urgent task of the family is to train a qualified alchemist.

It is best to have a certain level of cultivation to learn alchemy.

Most of the cultivators in the family who are above the middle stage of Qi training are old and have learned other immortal arts. It is no longer suitable to invest resources to train them.

You are young and have a low level of cultivation. He already has some foundation, and he should also have fire spiritual roots. He is the most suitable candidate for the family now.

This time I went down the mountain, I brought you some spiritual herbs and pill recipes, so that you can carefully study them during this period to see if you have the talent for alchemy.

If you can be promoted to an alchemy apprentice next year, the family will invest more resources in you. "

After hearing what his fourth uncle Zhang Menglong said, Zhang Zhixuan was shocked. He thought secretly: "What my fourth uncle said means that the family has decided to train me vigorously. The success rate of the profession of alchemist is very low in the early stage, which is basically a losing business. Unless the family invests a lot of resources, it is impossible to learn the profession of alchemy, which burns money, relying on Zhang Zhixuan alone. "

"To learn alchemy, you need an alchemy furnace and a magic weapon, and you also need earth fire. I don't have these conditions here at all." Zhang Zhixuan said in embarrassment.

"Don't worry about this. There are still some alchemy furnaces left in the Xuanyangmu family. Your seventh uncle will send them to you in a few days. As for the alchemy furnace, the best one in the family is with your ninth uncle, and it has been lost this time. There are still three alchemy furnaces in the family. The best one is only of the second-level middle grade. I brought it to you this time."

While talking, the fourth uncle Zhang Menglong took out a one-foot square fine iron alchemy furnace from the storage bag on his waist and handed it to Zhang Zhixuan.

Then he continued to take out some low-level spiritual herbs, a dozen brand new books, and three jade slips from the storage bag.

"I've handed all the things to you. You have to be more careful during this period. We are old, half of our bodies are buried in the soil, and the family will depend on your generation in the future."

The disappearance of the ninth uncle undoubtedly made the fourth uncle Zhang Menglong a little discouraged. The family has been gradually declining for nearly a hundred years, which also made the fourth uncle worried. He was worried that their generation of cultivators would grow old, and the family would not have outstanding cultivators to take over. He didn't know what to do in the future? Can the ancestral foundation be passed on?

Zhang Zhixuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Fourth Uncle, I will protect my safety. There are few people here, and only a dozen family cultivators have been here. It is difficult for outsiders to notice. If no one in the family leaks the news, no outsiders will find out. Last time I went to the market, I bought a formation plate made of monster bones. Since Fourth Uncle is here, please take a look at it and see if this formation plate can be restored."

Zhang Zhixuan returned to the house, took out the bone formation plate, and handed it to Fourth Uncle Zhang Menglong for his look.

Fourth uncle is already a third-level array master, and is the most important talent in the family besides the patriarch. He carefully looked at the white bone array plate and said, "This should be something that came from Donglihai.

There are many sea monsters in Donglihai, so the monster material resources are very abundant. They use the spirit bones of monsters to refine the array plate.

This array plate was originally of good grade, a third-level top-grade thing, but unfortunately, the spiritual energy has been lost for hundreds of years, and it is difficult to recover.

The only way is to use the blood refining method, kill three third-level monsters, dig out their spirit bones, and then use the monster blood to melt the spirit bones into the array plate.

But this will be more difficult. Instead of doing this, it is better to refine another one. A formation plate, set up a new formation.

So this thing is a chicken rib, tasteless and a pity to throw away, you spent a little more spirit stones. But you can match a second-level formation, which can play a role to some extent and add a layer of protection here. "

The uncle and nephew talked for an afternoon. Zhang Menglong explained to him some difficulties encountered in cultivation. Seeing the sun setting in the west, Zhang Menglong sighed and said: "Your uncle is gone. In the future, you will learn to make alchemy. There will be no one to guide you. I don't know how far you can go? I have only a vague understanding of alchemy, and I'm afraid I can't help you. "

After Zhang Menglong left, Zhang Zhixuan began to learn alchemy. Three of the books are worth Zhang Zhixuan's careful reading.

"Mengquan Lundan" is Zhang Mengquan's life experience in alchemy. There is no record of any alchemy recipes or alchemy methods.

But this book is the most important. It not only contains many tips summarized by Zhang Mengquan, but also some details of his process of learning alchemy, and also records the difficulties he encountered in the process of alchemy.

Zhang Mengquan has already given answers to some of these questions, and some of them need to be solved by later learners.

"Xuantong Danjie" is the Taoist tradition passed down by the Zhang family. Zhang Tairen, the ancestor of the Zhang family, accidentally obtained the inheritance of a foundation-building casual cultivator. There are not only spiritual tools and spiritual talismans in the cave, but also some cultivation methods.

One of them is this "Xuantong Danjie".

The alchemists of the Zhang family initially learned alchemy entirely from this "Xuantong Danjie". There are seven kinds of elixirs in the book, but unfortunately the herbs in four of the elixirs are very rare. Over the past few hundred years, the Zhang family has only successfully refined three of the elixirs in the book.

This book also records a unique alchemy method, the spiritual water alchemy method.

This unique alchemy method can use spiritual water to wash and refine elixirs, but unfortunately no one has been able to learn it for hundreds of years.

Although "Dan Fang Liu Lun" is simple, the theory involved is the most profound. It involves the fundamental principles of alchemy and tells the profound relationship between spiritual medicines, which are mutually dependent and complementary.

Although the book only talks about the alchemy principle of the second-level low-grade elixir such as Xingqi Powder, it is very helpful for alchemists who are interested in learning alchemy.

Only by deeply studying the principles of alchemy can one become a real alchemist, rather than an alchemy tool.

If one does not understand the internal pharmacology of elixir, he can only refine elixir according to the elixir formula. Even if such an alchemist has advanced alchemy skills and can refine high-level elixir, he is just an alchemy machine and cannot be recognized by the monks of the Alchemy Alliance.
