Chapter 41 Alchemy
Hanshi Powder is extremely hot in nature.

After taking it, you need to eat cold food to neutralize its strong effect, and then drink hot wine to disperse its medicinal properties. Otherwise, it will be ineffective at best, and even fatal at worst!
Because the powder was difficult to prepare, the configuration was re-optimized based on Hanshi Powder, forming a new powder with slightly lower intensity but some stimulating and hallucinogenic effects. Because it uses five stones as ingredients, it is also called Wu Shi Powder!

Wear Hanshi Powder in the morning, supplemented with cold breath to control the harsh yang and cold yin, and extremely mix the yin and yang energies in the lungs!
When the sun is at its zenith and the solar energy is at its peak, you should change to taking Five Stones Powder, bathe in an icy spring to breathe, and then drink hot wine, so that the yin and yang and the five stones' gold nature can invade the bone marrow.

When two things are scattered together, the solid nature of metal and stone is sunk inside, while the opportunity for change flows outside.

After the dispersion, the mechanism of yin and yang, the nature of metal and stone act on the body, and even affect the person taking the dispersion at the level of life, such as the body becomes more delicate and perfect, the skin becomes more delicate and white, and the qi mechanism becomes more sensitive.
Behind all these beauties, there is a hidden danger caused by the incurable nature of the elixir!

"This powder should not be abused. You must always identify its nature and increase or decrease it as appropriate!"

Ever since the Wu family formed a covenant and held a grand ceremony a few days ago, the barriers around Mount Fuyao have all been opened. Looking north from Dongjun, one can only see endless spiritual light and misty aura flowing dozens of miles outside the city. The entire Mount Fuyao is shrouded in the Qingcang formation.

After being closed in their residence for over a month, the entire Wu family clan worked day and night to obtain precious materials and magical herbs to supply Taoist Ge from Leiying to refine the Golden Liquid. In the tall cauldron in the center of the residence, the top-grade Fengdao Golden Pill was being refined!

Every once in a while, Wu's Taoist priests and Taoist soldiers would patrol the four gardens in the mansion, twelve hours a day, without stopping.

But it made the cultivators in the mansion suffer terribly!

Wu Yong stayed in the Cold Dew Pond in the East Garden every day, using powder, walking powder, and breathing, and distinguishing the nature of the elixir, and pondering the water method, the yellow and white technique, and the reverse and combined refining of various prescriptions.
suddenly.

On this day, spiritual light bloomed in the north of Dongjun and shot up into the sky. Even the quasi-fourth-level formation on Fuyao Mountain - the Qingxuan Yiqisheli barrier could not conceal this precious light.

The two families and clans in Dongjun, Ying, Zhou, Jiang, Guan, as well as the cultivators in the Taoist temple, all looked surprised.

"I have been closed for two months. Did the great sacrifice to heaven two months ago promote the Wu family's rampant altar?"

"But it also looks a bit like a Jindan? However, the Wu family currently doesn't have anyone with the qualifications to form a Jindan, right?"

"Or is it"

This strange phenomenon caused everyone to speculate, but no one could predict what exactly happened.
The Zhou family manor in the east of the county covers an area of ​​ten miles and is planted with Yandao Lingmaple trees. A touch of red, it is like fire all year round!

The three direct descendants of the Zhou family all stood behind the two ancestors and climbed up the 100-meter-high Moon-Watching Tower, as if they wanted to see through half of Dongjun to see what the strange phenomenon in the north was all about.

"Hehe! The Wu family has been making a lot of noise recently. In Danyang, they took advantage of the situation and stepped on the Zhao family to get to the top. After coming back, they have been showing off their prowess one after another. They have really gotten all the limelight!" A slightly immature boy said sourly with an unhappy look on his face.

The girl in palace dress at the rear right also smiled gently and pointed at Zhou Boyue who was standing behind the Second Ancestor.

"Brother Boyue is on good terms with Wu Yong, but he has never been that close to my sister. But can you help us solve our doubts?"

It was as if they were mocking Zhou Boyue in front of their father and grandfather for treating his younger brother and sister-in-law worse than outsiders, and there was a hint of anger in their words.

However, before Zhou Boyao could say anything.

The ancestor of the Zhou family spoke.

His right hand turned into a sword and pointed directly to the north of Dongjun!
"Don't underestimate the Wu family. Since the sacrificial ceremony two months ago, the Wu family has had three battalions of soldiers. They have a strong foundation. Looking at the forty-one families in Dongzhou, I'm afraid that there are less than a handful of families that can produce two battalions of Dandao soldiers."

"A few days ago, his Wu family got a golden elixir from Zhao. I'm afraid that he has been secluded for several months and is practicing external alchemy."

The ancestor of the Zhou family looked at the precious light rising into the sky and said with certainty.

"External elixir?" A hint of doubt appeared on Zhou Boyue's forehead.

"Yes, external alchemy. Dongzhou does not have the inheritance of external alchemy, but Yujing does. I'm afraid it was Wu Lian's maternal clan, the old lady's family who took action!" The old patriarch of the Zhou family nodded, leaning on his cane and waving his left sleeve lightly, and said.

"There are four major paths in the immortal path, which can lead to immortality. There are also several other orthodox paths, but so far only half-immortals have emerged. Wai Dan Dao is one of the four paths. Although it is not mainstream, it can also be regarded as a great path to heaven. In Yujing, there is even a half-immortal who has achieved the status of Wai Dan Dao!"

Unfortunately, only the top three in the Jiuzhou Taoist Palace every five years are eligible to enter the Taoist Court and learn the Twenty-Eight Methods of Immortality. I'm afraid that the Zhou family does not have this blessing!
The Zhou family's ancestor looked at the three people behind him and shook his head imperceptibly.

Zhou Boyao was a man of steady character and decent qualifications, but he stopped at the Dongzhou Taoist Palace and returned to Dongjun early to work for his family.

The second daughter and third son of the main line may have better qualifications and are now serving in the Taoist Palace, but judging from their personalities, their future achievements may not be higher than that of the eldest son!
His Wu family still had two battalions of soldiers to protect them after their fall, and they also had distant relatives in Yujing. They only had to get through the low period before they could recover.

But Zhou, if we fall, who will protect the next few generations?
The two Zhou ancestors looked at each other, and they only saw a hint of bitterness in each other's eyes.
Fuyao Mountain.

Wu's mansion.

Wu Yong was wearing a gauze robe and lying in the Cold Dew Pond with his clothes half exposed. There was still some colored powder in the white jade plate on the bank of the pond. Behind the pond, a boy and a beautiful maid were pouring ice cubes into the cold pond. The beautiful maid was kneeling on the edge of the pond, shaking the wine utensils with her hands, and preparing Yan Yang warm wine for Wu Yong.

It has a rather decadent vibe to it!

Suddenly, Wu Yong opened his eyes and looked outside the courtyard. He saw that the whole mansion was filled with fragrance. The mist filled the central garden. The sky contained strange phenomena, and golden light flowed on the top of Fuyao Mountain, which lasted for a long time!

"Uncle, the big pill has been made, you..."

Xu Miaoxi led her entourage into the courtyard, only to see Wu Yong bathing in the cold pool in dishevel, his face flushed. She quickly covered her eyes with her sleeves and retreated.

"Okay, I understand!"

Wu Yong felt funny, and after he gathered his strength, he lightly pushed the boy, and then pushed the wine utensils and medicine cup into his arms.

With a wave of his right hand, the Taoist children who were accompanying him withdrew. Wu Yong stood up from the Cold Dew Pond and walked towards the bank step by step. The spiritual energy in his body rolled, and in a moment, the wet gauze clothes were dried.

The beautiful maidservant beside him, whose clothes were soaked, also held up a robe and walked barefoot to Wu Yong's side. Because she was a head shorter than Wu Yong, she had to stand on tiptoe with difficulty and help him put on the robe and accessories one by one.
After a long time, the two of them slowly walked out of the Hanlu Pond.

Wu Yong was wearing a navy blue robe and a wooden hairpin was inserted diagonally in his bun. He had been in the cold pool for nearly two months, and when he came out, he had changed a lot. His skin was so white that it seemed unlikely to be a real person, and his whole body seemed to have been refined, with a unique kind of clear and ethereal charm.

Under Xu Miaoxi's cold gaze, the maid with half-wet clothes had no choice but to bow her head and hurried away!

"Hehe! Brother Yong, have you really forgotten what you are doing after enjoying yourself day and night in this Hanlu Pond?" Xu Miaoxi smiled coldly without changing her expression.

"The outer pill is ready, it's time to collect the pill!"

Obviously, she was quite resentful of Wu Yong's dissolute behavior in the past two months.

"Yes! I already know." Wu Yong seemed unaware and just nodded slightly.

In the distance, Taoist Ge from Leiying had taken off his silver armor and was dressed in a Taoist robe. He held a precious pill in his right hand, and held a copper cup containing golden liquid in his left hand. He strode towards Wu Yong with his legs alternating. The external alchemy path was divided into only four stages.

The brilliant energy of the sun and the moon illuminates the heaven and earth, and the three energies of the sun, the moon, and Chonghe interact with each other for one thousand and eighty years, forming the "essence cinnabar"!
After another one thousand and eighty years, the cinnabar essence turned into "cinnabar".

Nurturing for another one thousand and eighty years", cinnabar transformed into "natural elixir".

After another one thousand and eighty years, a total of four thousand three hundred and twenty years, the vital energy will be sufficient to restore the elixir and it will naturally become the "Heavenly Lead Natural Elixir".

Ten Tiangang and Disha make up one cycle, and one needs to nurture them for four weeks before one can obtain a "Tianqian Ziran Huandan".

However, the natural elixir of heavenly lead is hard to come by. Even in the era of heaven, it would take the immortals thousands of years to produce one such elixir.

Therefore, this external alchemy method is to combine the birth and change of all things into one elixir, and then refine it with spiritual medicines and precious materials, using the top-grade Fengdao Golden Elixir as the basis, and shorten the 3,240 years of refining to 7749 days.

It consumed 720 spiritual herbs, more than 39,600 great medicines, and 49 kinds of precious materials. They were extracted with the power of the golden elixir.

He cultivated this Taiyi Qingxuan Pill, which is just ranked at the third level - "Natural Huandan"!
Using this elixir as a foundation and using the elixir energy to temper the spirit, one can achieve the third transformation of the external elixir - refining the spirit and returning to emptiness.

"The external elixir has been completed. This elixir is called Taiyi, and belongs to Qingxuan. It contains the three elements of wind, fire, and cloud, and becomes Taiyi Qingxuan Natural Returning Elixir."

Taoist Ge held the Golden Liquid, Jade Liquid and Elixir in his hands, stepped on the Seven Star Steps, and wore a purple ribbon robe. With every step he took, he shone with golden light. He could pass through walls and in a moment he was in front of Wu Yong.

"The nature of metal and stone has invaded the bone marrow, and the heat poison has barely entered the internal organs. It seems that Zongzi's body is really strong, and he deserves to enter this path."

"Golden liquid, please drink up!"

Taoist Ge handed the copper cup in his left palm to Wu Yong and said solemnly.

In the cup is the golden liquid that has been refined nine times.

Platinum and gold quartz, combined into gold, gold into cinnabar, also like medicinal gold. Crimson cinnabar becomes mercury, mercury turns back into sand, sand turns back into mercury, this is the nature of the elixir method, nine refining and nine transformations, it returns to the original nature.

Wu Yong did not hesitate to take the golden liquid with both hands, raised it to his lips, and drank it all in one gulp.

When this liquid enters the throat, it tastes a little bitter at first, but it is very delicious after it goes down the stomach. Once it enters the body, a strange fragrance emanates from every pore of Wu Yong, making those who smell it feel relaxed and happy.

"This pill took 49 days to refine, costing the Wu family nearly 10 million Daozhu. It contains the Dao rhymes of wind, fire, and cloud. When absorbed into the sea of ​​qi, the rhyme of the inner world will be born, and magic power will be formed naturally!"

"Please take the pill!"

Taoist Ge held up the Taiyi Qingxuan Natural Huandan, looked around, and introduced the essence and consumption of the elixir to the Wu family practitioners.

At this moment, his thoughts seemed to have returned to his previous life. One hundred thousand years ago? Or two hundred thousand years ago? He couldn't remember.

At that time, there were also mortal kings and noble scholars who asked him for elixir, and it was the same as before.

But in that era, precious medicines were hard to find, unlike in this world, where the Kyushu world conquered the heavens, plundered the spiritual energy of all realms, and there were countless caves and blessed places. There were also many old medicines, great medicines, and spiritual medicines in the spiritual veins.
This pill is ranked as the third grade and was made by Taoist Ge. It is the highest grade pill!
"it is good!"

Wu Yong threw the copper cup away, took the natural elixir with both hands, held it to his nose and took a light sniff.

Just as he was about to open his mouth and swallow it.

This golden elixir seemed to have its own spirit. It suddenly melted into a stream of light, entered his stomach from between his lips and teeth, and turned directly into a huge blue sun hanging high in the sky on the top of the Fusang tree in his qi sea.

Wherever Qing Yang shines, the spiritual power of the Qi Sea begins to fade, and Qing Xuan's magic power begins to shine from the Qi Sea to the whole body, and then with the Fusang wood as the core, it passes through the meridians and slowly erodes the Zhoutian acupoints.
"Now that the external elixir is ready, you still need to distinguish the medicinal properties of metals and stones and practice transformations. This Baopuzi is the general outline corresponding to this elixir. You can study it on your own!" Taoist Ge warned softly and handed a jade record to Wu Yong.

"Thank you, Ge Dao, I am grateful!" Wu Yong took the alchemy theory and bowed deeply to Ge Dao!
It is easier said than done to cultivate the art of war alone, but if he has this external alchemy method as a supplement, Wu Yong only needs to achieve the position of the Great Protector of the Dharma, and with the alchemy practice in hand, he can expect to reach the fourth level!

"Don't be happy too soon, I still have something to say to you." Taoist Ge shouted solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yong waved his hand to dismiss the cultivators and stood with Taoist Ge.

"The Five Thunder Camp cannot go on this Cold Food Festival's Plane Expedition!"

Taoist Ge shook his head and began to review the secrets of the Taoist court tens of thousands of years ago.

"No matter if we are the heavenly soldiers, the city gods, the land gods, or the mountain gods, we have all died in the last era!"

"After the establishment of the Dao Court, those with great magical powers visited the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, the Seven Rivers and Four Rivers, and found the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court, abandoned Taoist temples, remaining temples, and city gods whose incense had ceased to burn."

"Gather the remaining souls of our dead from the shattered Netherworld, and unite a hundred and eight thousand people."

"When Jiuzhou is stabilized, our 180000 soldiers will be split into nearly 1,000 Grass God Battalions and distributed to the upper and middle-class families who have made great contributions to Jiuzhou. The Five Thunder Battalion is one of the split ones, and the same goes for Xun's City God Soldiers!"

"Each family provides support to the Grass God Camp, and we also protect the incense offerings of each family. But in the final analysis, we are still the people of the Dao Court, shouldering the important responsibility of Jiuzhou, and we cannot leave Jiuzhou easily."

In other words, the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals of their Taoist court are supported by the aristocratic families and do their best to ensure that the aristocratic families continue to receive worship from them, but in the end, they are the soldiers of the Taoist court.

The highest command authority for these grass god's soldiers is only on Yujing Mountain!
One hundred and eight thousand Grass God soldiers are supported by various noble families in Jiuzhou. This is the first line of defense of Jiuzhou after the establishment of Dao Court.

Therefore, the first article of the law states that no camp may leave Kyushu without permission!

"You can lead the evil camp to the outer world expedition. The blood demon is strong enough to protect you!"

"In the future, when you conquer the Great Sacrifice, just focus on the Shaying. After all, the Shaying was created by your Wu family's ancestors!"

"This Baopuzi can be regarded as a successor found by the Waidan Immortals of the previous generation."

Taoist Ge smiled at Wu Yong and waved his hand.

"Now that the external elixir is complete and I have practiced diligently according to the elixir method, even if I cannot innovate, it is sufficient for use."

"Go, go!"

While chatting and laughing, Taoist Ge turned into a flash of lightning and went straight into the temple, transforming into a spirit tablet, the Five Thunder Camp - Taixu Lei Yuan Zhenjun!
