Chapter 145 Alchemy
Inside the cave.
The formation patterns of the fire control circle light up one by one, and the aura of the spirit stone is extracted to form a blue-blue second-order flame under the purple jade furnace.
The surrounding heat wave is sweeping, and the temperature keeps rising.
After feeling the gentleness and stability of this flame, Fang Xi nodded in satisfaction.
The magic circle he designed works quite successfully, and there are no other shortcomings except for Fei Lingshi.
Fang Xi took a deep breath, first took out other medicinal materials, and refined a batch of 'Qi Bu Pill'.
In the tradition of alchemy, there is a scientific name called 'warm furnace'!
Alchemy furnaces that have not been used for a long time often perform poorly when refining the first batch of elixir, which will slightly affect the subsequent alchemy.
Therefore, alchemists often refine a batch of other types of elixirs before refining important elixirs.
With a solemn expression, he put the refined qi pill aside, and took out sixteen jade boxes from the storage bag.
After opening it, a series of materials appeared, among which a gray-white demon pill was the most eye-catching.
"let's start!"
Fang Xi murmured, first took out the 'Hualong Ginseng' that was as white as jade, and cut off a piece with a jade knife.
Refining Jidan, in fact, a whole plant of 'Hualong Ginseng' is not needed in one batch of ingredients, a section cut off is enough.
It's just that the medicinal effect of the 'Hualong ginseng' loses quickly after it is damaged, so it is often sold as a whole plant.
"These demon pills are actually monsters in the early stage of foundation establishment. I don't expect to be able to make more than two pills in one furnace. Naturally, all of them are made according to the minimum configuration... a small amount and many times to accumulate experience..."
Fang Xi released her consciousness and entered the interior of the purple jade furnace.
The next moment, he put the cut Hualong ginseng into the medicine furnace, manipulated the flames to wrap it, and refined it into a transparent liquid medicine.
Immediately afterwards, other auxiliary materials...
During this process, Fang Xi's consciousness was carefully observing every change in the medicine furnace.
Anyway, he was not prepared to succeed in the first batch, and his mentality was very good, which was completely experimental.
After the gray-white demon pill entered the furnace, Fang Xi's expression suddenly became more serious than ever.
Ho Ho!
When the demon pill encountered the flames, it immediately burst out with a force of resistance, in which there were faint roars of monsters.
"Using the inner alchemy of monsters to refine the elixir is not as gentle as the elixir..."
Fang Xi immediately dripped Bilingye in order to combine medicinal properties and stabilize various medicinal materials.
However, the next moment!
Boom!
The purple jade furnace trembled, and the medicinal liquid inside and the inner alchemy of the monster broke out in a violent conflict, and both of them were reduced to ashes!
Fang Xi's first batch of alchemy didn't even complete the step of congealing the pill!
"Well... the impact of the monster inner alchemy is too strong, and the timing of the entry of the Bilingual Liquid is a little late..."
There was neither sadness nor joy on his face, he didn't care about accidentally destroying an extremely precious monster inner alchemy, recalling the alchemy experience just now.
After resting overnight and simulating it in her heart many times, Fang Xi started alchemy again!
boom!
This time, he reluctantly combined the Biling Liquid into the Demon Pill and blended it with the medicinal liquid, but fell at the last step...
…
Three months later.
"Sixth Furnace!"
Fang Xi's expression was indifferent, her eyes were sharp, and she threw all the ingredients into the alchemy furnace like flowing water.
After that, there was an amethyst-like monster inner alchemy, and the green liquid!
"In the fifth furnace, I was close to congealing alchemy, but my mana was not enough at the critical moment..."
This time Fang Xi was well prepared to perfectly stimulate the monster power of the monster's inner alchemy, blending with the original medicinal liquid, and turning it into a mass of greenish-purple translucent liquid.
The fire in the furnace is raging, constantly warming and nourishing this ball of liquid medicine...
After seven days and seven nights, Fang Xi stuffed a qi-invigorating pill into his mouth, recovered some of his mana, and then unhurriedly typed out the formula:
"Condensation!"
In the alchemy furnace, the bluish-purple medicinal liquid is continuously concentrated, and the color is constantly changing among the seven colors...
Fang Xi saw sweat on his forehead, struggling to stabilize the various spiritual power conflicts inside the elixir.
Three days later.
"Open the furnace!"
His mana surged, and one after another spells were thrown into the purple jade furnace.
The purple jade furnace roared, and a light blue pill flew out and landed in Fang Xi's hand.
But before his face became happy, the Foundation Establishment Pill quickly turned black, exploded... and turned into a mass of ashes.
"The method of taking pills still needs to be improved... I was a little anxious before."
…
Another three months passed.
As the number of furnaces increased, Fang Xi took longer and longer to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.
This is a good thing.
Before he failed at the beginning, but now, he has been able to persist until the final step of taking the pill.
"Eighth Furnace!"
Fang Xi proceeded step by step, overcoming the difficulties and obstacles ahead, and reached the final step of taking the pill.
This time, he improved his original method of collecting alchemy, and a Dharma seal fell into the alchemy furnace.
The purple jade stove opened with a roar, and the fragrance of medicine filled the room.
A blue pill fell into Fang Xi's hand, it was the Foundation Establishment Pill!
It's just the surface of this pill, with a gray pill pattern!
"Bad Grade Foundation Establishment Pill?!"
Fang Xi frowned: "It seems to be my previous method, and there are still imperfections..."
This inferior Foundation Establishment Pill also has the miraculous effect of assisting monks in their foundation transformation, but the erysipelas exceeds the standard, and the efficacy is a bit worse than the genuine Foundation Establishment Pill, only about 60% to 70%.
"But enough, enough..."
"As long as the Foundation Establishment Pill protects the tendons and can protect the foundation from failure, it is enough to guarantee the bottom line..."
During this period of time, he was under a lot of pressure, especially in the last few batches.
Although I have warned myself many times that if I fail, I will repeat the process of collecting materials before, but the Demon King of Great Liang is not infinite.
Fortunately, the pressure is gone now!
Overjoyed, Fang Xi went out to play for a few more months, and then came back, refreshed both physically and mentally to continue cooking!
Refining the ninth furnace of Foundation Establishment Pill, Fang Xi did whatever he wanted, with a powerful and unconstrained style...Practice his previous conjectures one by one, but the furnace exploded in the middle of the alchemy.
He laughed, and continued to wash the furnace, refining the last monster inner alchemy.
This time, with divine help, he refined a genuine foundation-building pill in the last effort!
…
On the bed in the cave, Fang Xi was half lying down, with two jade bottles in his hands.
"Ten monster inner alchemy, in the hands of those alchemy masters, at least ten genuine foundation building pills can be produced..."
This is not to say that the opponent will always succeed in alchemy every time, but that some alchemy masters can refine two foundation-building pills in one furnace!
At Fang Xi's place, ten coins turned into two coins, and one of them was a low-quality product. It was a blood loss!
But Fang Xi felt that it was quite profitable.
At least, he quietly obtained two Foundation Establishment Pills.
And... I also learned the craft of refining Jidan!
With this skill, he dared to pretend to be a second-level alchemy master!
Although, Fang Xi was not prepared to do so.
He played with the jade bottle containing the foundation building pill, and began to think about the foundation building.
"Swallowing the transformation of the foundation building pill, it is best to do it on the second-order spiritual vein, there is a bonus..."
"Fang Xi's identity can break through the foundation establishment openly... I am only fifty-eight years old now, and I can declare to the outside world that the foundation establishment limit of sixty years old is approaching, so I choose to fight to the death!"
Although the success rate of immortal cultivators building their own foundations is extremely low and the death rate is extremely high, they are not without luck!
"Or... claiming that luck has collected a foundation-building spiritual object?"
"Anyway, after the establishment of the foundation, all the spiritual objects have been swallowed, who can verify it?"
…
Baize Immortal City is a holy place for foundation building.
Every once in a while, news of the success of casual foundation building comes out.
Reputation can barely be guaranteed.
Since Fang Xi was able to plan the Foundation Establishment Pill painstakingly in order to establish the foundation, other conditions should naturally be the best.
It is true that there is no place in Yue Kingdom that is as safe as Baize Immortal City for renting the second-level Lingmai Cave Mansion.
What's more... Fang Xi also thought of the problem after the foundation was established.
"After I build the foundation, although the spiritual root is superior enough, I still need a second-order spiritual vein, as well as foundation building techniques and certain resources to practice... It is best to rely on a big force."
"Baize Immortal City looks pretty good... If I build a foundation in the city, and I have a clean background, I will definitely be wooed, maybe I can join in?"
As for the Jiedan sect of the Three Kingdoms? That was not within Fang Xi's consideration.
Not to mention whether the entry review will be more stringent, just because Fang Xi is not a disciple cultivated by the sect since childhood, it is destined to be excluded from the core layer forever unless there are special circumstances.
After all, among sects, loyalty is more important!
…
With this thought in mind, Fang Xi tidied up the cave and returned to Baize Immortal City.
Yanliu Lane, eighty-seven buildings.
He rented for ten years before, and it is still within the deadline.
Looking at his small courtyard, he still has a sense of intimacy.
"Fellow Daoist, you are back, something big has happened to us recently!"
Fairy Tengluo wore a green dress, and when she saw Fang Xi, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Your cultivation is... Dzogchen?"
"I was lucky enough to get some opportunities, and finally promoted to the tenth level of Qi Refining!"
Fang Xi smiled slightly. After all, he was here to build a foundation, so he didn't need to hide his apparent cultivation, and asked again: "What happened?"
"Ah... the man from the Jinling family is approaching his life, he rented a second-tier cave in the inner city to try to build a foundation, but he failed and died..."
Fairy Tengluo confessed everything, with respect in her tone.
After all, Fang Xi is already a master of Dzogchen.
"Ah... This is really true, I didn't expect it."
Fang Xi hurriedly took gifts and went to Su Lie's house to mourn.
"Fang Daoyou..."
Jin Ling was wearing a snow-white dress with a cold expression.
"Fellow Daoist Jin, mourning..."
Fang Xi gave a few words of comfort politely.
"You know Lao Su's temper... before his lifespan is exhausted, he will definitely give it a go." Jin Ling said expressionlessly: "Before he went to the death pass, he once said that the most regrettable thing is that he did not choose Fighting before the age of sixty will lead to a loss of energy and blood, and a lower chance of success...I don't think about me at all, what a cruel heart!"
Fang Xi was speechless.
…
The next day, he went to the inner city, found the steward in charge of renting a house, and said that he wanted to rent a second-tier cave.
"It's easy to say..."
The steward who rented the house wore a blue satin shirt and claimed to be surnamed Han. He introduced with a smile, "I don't know why you are renting the cave. If it is a retreat and a breakthrough, it will have the best A-shaped cave, and the internal spiritual energy will reach the second-level top grade!"
"Naturally, it's for retreat and breakthrough!" Fang Xi said firmly.
Seeing Fang Xi's perfect cultivation of Qi refining, Han Guanshi couldn't help but look a little solemn: "Dare to ask Your Excellency, Gui Geng?"
"Fifty to eight..." Fang Xi replied with a vicissitudes of life.
"Oh, there is a cave in Jiazi, one hundred spirit stones a year..."
Manager Han didn't say much, and quickly helped with the formalities.
After Fang Xi left, he looked at Fang Xi's back with a hint of pity in his expression.
Working here, he has seen a lot of casual cultivators working hard before the sixty-year-old deadline.
Most of them are failures, and those who are unlucky even lose their lives.
"Foundation establishment..."
Han Guanshi's face showed a trace of sadness and self-mockery: "The real proud sons of the heavens all reach the perfection of Qi before the age of 30, and then take the Zhuji Pill to break through... How can I compare with old age..."
Crying... I owe it first, and I must pay it back
