The Invincible Myth of Wuxia

Chapter 126
Looking carefully at the alchemy room in front of him, Song Pingsheng was very satisfied.

The things mentioned in the book are all here, and there are many of them.

Alchemy furnace, alchemy tripod, and various jade bottles used to hold pills, and other miscellaneous things.

After closing the doors and windows, Song Pingsheng sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace and placed various materials sent by his servants around him.

Then concentrate and calm down, and put the zhenqi in the body in a calm state.

According to the introduction he read in the book, alchemy is divided into inner alchemy and outer alchemy.

Inner alchemy is to imitate the human body as a furnace, which is used to practice internal refinement of energy and spirit, external communication of heaven and earth aura, clear mind and nature, and seek true self, which is called inner alchemy.

Wai Dan refers to burning elixir through various alchemy techniques and taking it as food, or directly taking certain herbs to transform one's yin quality into yang energy.

However, in today's world, apart from Taoists who also advocate and practice the technique of inner alchemy, the others are mainly based on the technique of outer alchemy.

What Song Pingsheng mainly learned was the art of outer alchemy, using the refining of heavenly materials and earthly treasures as elixirs to enhance his own strength and cultivation

And if you want to make alchemy, you must at least have the strength of the innate realm.

Because only the true qi of the innate realm can skillfully control the heat of the alchemy furnace.

Moreover, only the true qi of this realm can condense all the treasures of heaven, material and earth in the cauldron into pills.

In this way, if you don't have the Xiantian Realm, you can make pills if you want, but you can only refine some commonly used pills that are useful to ordinary people.

Pills like Cuijing Pill and Forging Pulse Pill, which can improve the physique of martial arts practitioners and help them practice, must be refined by real alchemists.

Moreover, the higher the grade of the pill, the higher the requirement for the strength of the alchemist.

For example, the Yuqing Lingmiao Pill that Fang Zhen gave him must be refined by the existence of the Xuanling Realm who is proficient in alchemy.

In this way, a rebuttal was formed. If you want to learn alchemy, you must first improve your strength. However, if you want to improve your strength, taking the elixir with the best cultivation base is the fastest way.

It can be said that in today's world, any alchemy master is a cultivation genius.

Only those geniuses who have been born for ten years and can advance to Xuanling in 50 years will have spare time to study alchemy and become a generation of alchemy masters.

Song Pingsheng carefully recalled "Records of Alchemy", and then opened the essence of alchemy given by Fang Zhen.

The above mentioned what is needed, there is one Chijingzhi that is more than ten years old, two bloody camellias that are more than ten years old, and so on.

Among them, Chijingzhizhi and Scarlet Camellia are the main medicines, and they are also the most expensive elixir needed to refine the essence pill.

Song Pingsheng first activated the alchemy furnace with true energy, lit the fire, and waited for the temperature to reach a certain level.

Immediately open the lid of the alchemy cauldron, and then put the supplementary materials of the refined essence into the cauldron one by one in order.

After covering it, he sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, and evenly transported true energy to keep the same temperature inside the tripod.

After two full hours of calcination, Song Pingsheng hurriedly opened the alchemy cauldron according to the prescription, and put Chijingzhizhi, one of the main medicines, into the cauldron.

However, at this moment, there was a wave of spiritual energy in the cauldron, followed by a bang.

The auxiliary materials that have been refined inside have turned into black charcoal directly, and you can tell it can't be used at a glance.

The first alchemy failed, Song Pingsheng was already prepared in his heart.

Not discouraged, he cleaned up the medicinal residue in the cauldron, continued to bake the alchemy cauldron, and then put the prepared auxiliary materials into it again.

Then he carefully activated his true energy and controlled the heat in the furnace.

Because according to his inference just now, the reason for the failure may be related to his failure to grasp the temperature of the fire when he opened the cauldron and put the Chijing Zhizhi in it.

After another two hours, Song Pingsheng carefully opened the alchemy cauldron again, and at the same time controlled the heat in the furnace so that the temperature did not change.

Then reach out and pick up a [-]-year-old Chijingzhi, put it into the tripod, and cover it.

He continued to urge his true energy to calcine the elixir in the cauldron, and this time when the cauldron was opened, there was no accident, which made him very happy.

Then, not long after this joyful energy arrived, black smoke suddenly billowed from the alchemy cauldron on the stove.

Without thinking about it, he failed again. Song Pingsheng had no choice but to withdraw his true energy, then opened the cauldron, and poured out all the ashes of the burned city inside.

Instead of continuing to refine for the third time, Song Pingsheng sat cross-legged, carefully recalling what he had seen before.

Combined with the description in "Records of Alchemy", he peeled it off bit by bit, and found out where the problem was.

Looking at the remaining nine parts of the essence pill materials beside him, Song Pingsheng decided to continue refining.

Instead, he wanted to see what his success rate was, and whether he could reach what was stated in the book. Beginners only had a [-]% success rate.

Repeating the previous operation, it took two hours again. Under his full concentration, there was no mistake until the Chi Jingzhi was refined.

Then continue to throw in the blood-colored camellia, and at the same time put in a little powder of auxiliary materials.

Then he carefully controlled the heat, relying on his control over the true energy, Song Pingsheng could feel that the elixir in the cauldron was melting little by little.

Chi Jingzhi and Blood Camellia, one of them can temper human bones, and the other can enhance human qi and blood.

The elixir that had been melted for two years was perfectly combined under the neutralization of some excipients.

Seeing that the refining was about to succeed, Song Pingsheng did not dare to be careless, and continued to concentrate on the situation inside the cauldron.

After waiting for half an hour, according to his observation, the various elixirs in the cauldron had completely melted together.

It was about to condense into pills, Song Pingsheng was not ambiguous at such a critical moment.

Increase the delivery of zhenqi in the body, and raise the fire to the temperature mentioned in the prescription.

Then, a ray of true energy was released into the cauldron, and the melted elixir was gathered into a pill the size of a thumb.

When everything was finished, a scent of fragrance came from the cauldron, and Song Pingsheng knew that it had been successfully refined.

There is only the last step left in refining the essence pill, which is also an extremely important step--take the pill from the cauldron.

This step is related to the quality of the refined pill, whether it is good or bad, whether it is strong or weak.

Setting up the cauldron and extracting the elixir must be done in one go, and no delay is allowed. Otherwise, even if the refining is successful, the elixir taken out will be of the highest quality and its efficacy will be greatly reduced.

Song Pingsheng calmed down, stopped sending true energy into the alchemy furnace, and then controlled the cauldron with his left hand.

Then, with his right hand wrapped in true energy, he directly took out the refined essence pill from the cauldron.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly picked up the jade bottle next to it, and put all the essence pills he had just taken out into it.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Song Pingsheng secretly sighed, and finally succeeded in refining the elixir.
