Encounter Taotie by chance at the beginning and practice longevity skills

Lei Ze came to the Pill Pavilion early the next morning to wait for Elder Liu. Seeing Lei Ze who arrived early, Elder Liu smiled even more.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while and then got down to business.

As soon as he mentioned alchemy, Elder Liu's playful expression immediately turned into a serious look: "Boy, do you know what categories of elixirs are classified according to their efficacy?"

"I've heard a little bit, generally speaking, they are divided into body refining elixirs, cultivation elixirs, and spirit replenishing elixirs." Lei Ze replied.

"Yes, this corresponds to our essence, energy and spirit. As the name suggests, after taking the body refining pill, it will make one's own essence larger and the body more powerful, which is to increase the essence. The cultivation pill is to increase the energy in our body. Yes, but cultivation elixirs are generally prepared for those monks who have no qualifications but want to go further. The soul-tonifying elixir is to increase the power of the soul, and the refining method has been lost for a long time. "

"Currently, only some spiritual plants can increase the power of the soul."

"So currently the best-selling and most popular ones are the body-refining elixirs, which increase one's own essence and make the body stronger. There are also some with different functions, such as those that specifically expand the meridians, those that enhance strength, and those that stabilize Guan Yuan. .”

"And today I will teach you a few simple pill recipes, such as this solid Yuan-Building Pill, which is most suitable for replenishing Yuan Essence and increasing strength during the foundation-building period."

As he said this, he watched Elder Liu take out a few spiritual herbs from the storage ring.

"This green spiritual plant is the Heavenly Spirit Grass. It grows in a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is rich. A hundred years later, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth of this grass is very abundant, and its medicinal properties are gentle. It is suitable for making the base liquid of elixirs. This one is a bit blue. It is jade skin grass. After a hundred years of maturity, the essence of this grass can neutralize the violent essence in the blood of monsters, making it easier to absorb. This golden fruit is called Xuanyang fruit. After a hundred years of maturity, the essence of this grass can Replenish a lot of essence."

Elder Liu then took out a few more small bottles. After opening them, a strong smell of blood immediately emitted. This is the essence and blood of the foundation-building demon tiger.

"This is the essence and blood of the foundation-building demon tiger that I purchased from the Spirit Beast Shop. Next, I melted 3 Heavenly Spirit Grasses with fire into liquid. This grass is mild and has strong compatibility, so this grass is usually used first in alchemy. As a base fluid.”

As he spoke, Lei Ze saw flames coming out of Elder Liu's hand, slowly melting the Tianling Grass into a pool of green liquid.

"Don't look at it as simple as this. It requires a very high level of fire control. Make sure the flame temperature is around 500 degrees. It cannot be too high. Otherwise, the base liquid will evaporate and it will become too low to form a liquid. Then add the jade bark grass and Xuanyang fruit. , slowly melting the two.”

As he spoke, Elder Liu put 3 Jade Fur Grasses and 1 Xuanyang Fruit into it. A quarter of an hour later, the two fruits merged with the green liquid and turned into a pool of golden liquid.

"Then the essence and blood of the monster must be put into it. This essence and blood is the most important thing to increase the essence. At this time, the temperature must be increased to 1000 degrees, so that the essence of the jade fur grass can fully mix with the essence, blood and other medicines. The liquid is fully integrated and the essence is evaporated at the same time.”

After Elder Liu poured the demonic beast essence and blood, the temperature in his hands suddenly increased. Elder Liu was explaining and operating at the same time, and his movements were extremely smooth.

"At this time, the evaporated essence is condensed into a pill with spiritual control. This is also the most difficult. It would be best if you have water spiritual roots or wood spiritual roots. I remember that you have fire and wood spiritual roots, right. Next, I will give you Please show me how to make a pill."

I saw Elder Liu using his spiritual consciousness to gather all the evaporated essence together, and using his spiritual consciousness to throw a pool of black impurities into a discarded small bottle.

Just watch Elder Liu shoot out a stream of wood-attribute Qi to wrap it up, and the condensed essence gradually solidifies and shrinks until it turns into a crystal clear, red-lighting small pill.

Lei Ze was also fascinated. He had seen Zhang San making alchemy before in Zhang San's memory, but compared to Elder Liu, Zhang San's method was very clumsy.

Lei Ze also took notes from time to time in a small notebook, which Liu Shoutai appreciated even more.

Elder Liu said again: "Look, the elixir I finally condensed with the wood-attributed Qi is called the Wood-natured Pill, and this one is called the Wood-Attribute Solid Peiyuan Dan. If it is the water-attributed Qi condensed, it must be water-based. Solid Peiyuan Pill.”

"Elder, I wonder what the difference is between the two?"

"Wood-based elixirs are more suitable for monks to absorb, while water-based elixirs last longer." Elder Liu replied.

Lei Ze also wrote it down in a small notebook. After all, Zhang San had condensed water vapor into pills before.

Elder Liu said earnestly: "Although the pills are good, if you can avoid taking them, don't take them. Body-refining pills are okay, but if you want to increase your cultivation, it's best not to take them."

"The elixir actually looks like I have removed a lot of impurities, but in fact there are still quite a few. Like this elixir, I have removed 9% of the impurities in the spiritual plant, and it can be said to be a top-grade elixir. Generally, what is circulated on the market is low-grade or medium-grade elixirs. Low-grade elixirs only have [-]% of the impurities removed, while mid-grade elixirs have [-]% of the impurities removed."

"What can be called a top-grade elixir must have [-]% of its impurities removed. The best elixir has [-]% of its impurities removed. The more impurities removed, the worse the elixir will be. The lighter the color. Even if I refine the best elixir, I can only get one out of a thousand elixirs by chance."

"As for the elixir that removes all impurities, its refining method has been lost."

Lei Ze listened with great interest, drawing and writing in his notebook from time to time, and then said: "So after taking too many body-refining pills, Guan Yuan will condense the essence with impurities, and if you take too many body-refining pills, As elixirs, there will be impurities in the Qi sea. Therefore, elixirs are all foreign substances, and the right way is to cultivate them yourself."

Elder Liu added, "Yes, the impurities of the essence in the physical body will gradually become purer as time goes by, but the impurities in the sea of ​​​​qi are difficult to remove. So although we can take body refining pills, we can't take too many. Eat. Unless you take the best elixir every day."

Lei Ze nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Therefore, he basically does not take cultivation pills, and relies solely on devouring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to slowly increase his realm. He practiced refining essence and Qi, and Yuanjing and Yuanshen had already reached the peak of foundation building.

If he wanted to go further, he would have to use some unique body-refining techniques, such as the viscera-refining technique he was practicing. Or break through to the golden elixir, make a qualitative leap in the Qi in your body, and then strengthen the Yuanjing and Yuanshen.

"Elder, I have another question. I want to ask you. I wonder if you know the "Longevity Kung Fu"." Lei Ze also raised his head and asked.

Elder Liu thought for a while and replied: "Oh, you said refining the energy, right? This is an ideal cultivation method. It should be said that it is a method that has been passed down a long time ago. It is simple and easy to understand. But it is too difficult to do it. Difficult."

"If you think about it, how could a mortal have such a powerful physical body and essence, but not have Qi to strengthen and replenish the physical body? In fact, your digestion cannot keep up. No matter how much you eat, you can't make up for it. . And grains, including the flesh and blood of monsters, also contain many impurities."

"And if you take the best body refining pill every day, it is still possible, but the more the physical body is strengthened, the bigger the Dantian will be, and it will be impossible for the refined Qi to be transformed into the sea. And although the best pill has only a little impurity , but it would be a lot to accumulate. So if you feed it with the best elixir, your future will be ruined due to impurities."

Lei Ze was also a little thoughtful after listening. I looked inside my Guanyuan and Qihai, and found that Qihai was pure and flawless, and Guanyuanzhong was also pure and flawless Yuanjing. It seems that his cultivation method is indeed correct.

But he recalled that he had also taken the elixir refined by Zhang San at that time, and also used blood-red chalcedony to refine his body. The Yuan Jing at that time seemed to have some impurities, but not many. After refining the Qi, the impurities in the Yuan Jing were removed, and the Qi formed was pure.

No wonder the shit I pooped during my Qi refining period stunk.

It seems that Elder Liu also knows a little about refining and converting Qi. He actually does not understand that refining and converting Qi will remove impurities during refining. However, this reminded Lei Ze that it was very possible for people like him to exist in this world. And it must be terrible.

If there is such a resource during the Qi Refining Stage, it will be even more amazing in the Foundation Building and Golden Pill Stages. Who knows if they have that kind of cultivation pill without impurities, or a heavenly thing that Lei Ze doesn’t even know about? Treasures of materials and land.

Alas, in this world of Lao Liu, we still have to live in peace.
