Chapter 8 Obtaining the Pill Recipe
This discovery put Shu Han in a difficult position.
I originally wanted to make up for the shortcomings of my talent by infinitely copying elixirs, but now I have failed! If there is no elixir, taking spiritual herbs is also an option.
But after understanding some pharmacology, Shu Han discovered that taking the elixir rashly was risky!
Most of the elixirs with outstanding effects contain harmful ingredients, which is why alchemy is needed to refine the elixirs.
However, Shu Han, who was familiar with the medicine books, still found some elixirs in the elixir garden that could be taken for a long time. However, the effect of the elixir is far from being comparable to that of Heqi Pills. If you want to make great progress in your cultivation, you must use a large number of Heqi Pills to assist you.
After understanding this, Shu Han stopped practicing and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the study of pharmacology, hoping to master alchemy as soon as possible. Without the help of the elixir, as the second elder said, it would probably take him three hundred years to reach the twelfth level of Qi Refining.
Shu Han couldn't wait for so long. He still had the dream of going to the legendary Tianxuan Sect buried in his heart.
Focusing on pharmacology, Shu Han learned faster and faster. As his study deepened, Shu Han realized that due to the mottled and complex properties of the medicine, it was almost impossible to make a pill without a prescription.
A month later, suffering from the lack of elixir prescriptions to practice with, he plucked up the courage and asked the second elder for advice on elixir prescriptions.
The second elder was very pleased with Shu Han's performance these days. He did everything he was told in an orderly manner and studied very hard. He was his ideal disciple.
However, upon hearing that Shu Han wanted one or two kinds of elixirs, the second elder's face still fell.
"You haven't learned to walk yet, so you want to learn to run! Guawazi, why are you so ambitious?"
Listening to the second elder's tone of resentment that iron cannot become steel, Shu Han thought hard and defended himself: "Master, these days I have encountered a bottleneck in my research on pharmacology. I thought that if I could use the elixir recipe as a reference to practice, my understanding would be deeper."
The second elder shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't want to teach you the alchemy recipe! It's just that alchemy has a high failure rate, and the medicinal materials for alchemy are hard to come by. Most of the main medicines take more than ten or twenty years to mature. In fact, There’s no way to train newcomers.”
"Master, my disciple only wants to use the elixir to prove his pharmacology, but he doesn't dare to pick the elixir and refine it."
Looking at Shu Han's resolute face, the second elder couldn't help but let go. He called two pill prescriptions from his living room and said, "These are two junior pill prescriptions, Huanglong Pill and Qingling Powder."
"Huanglong Pill can slightly increase the speed of Qi refining, but its efficacy is not as good as that of Heqi Pill. It is worse than the pill recipe because it is simple."
"As for this Qingling Powder, it is a healing medicine. It is not worth mentioning in the world of cultivation, but among mortals, it is a holy medicine that is hard to find. Take it back and study it. Don't pick the elixir to refine it if you have itchy hands!"
Shu Han clutched these two prescriptions and ran back to his cabin with joy.
It was like suddenly getting two puzzles, and all the knowledge I had learned before was finally put to use.
As a result, Shu Han devoted himself even more to the study of elixirs, forgetting food and sleep.
After pondering for two weeks, he decided to start preparing it himself.
The second elder did not let Shu Han touch the refining prematurely because he was afraid that he would lose the precious medicinal materials.
But the medicinal materials that were losing money were not worth mentioning in front of Shu Han's black jar.
Alchemy requires fire to refine the medicinal materials.
The book records that ordinary alchemists use magic power to generate elixir fire to make elixirs.
The second elder used hundred-year-old fruit charcoal to make alchemy. Such flames were mixed, the heat was difficult to control, and the medicinal materials could easily be damaged. However, because the second elder has been refining elixirs for many years, he is already very good at it, and he can ensure the success rate of elixirs using firewood.
He had explained that if he had to use elixir fire to refine Longxuanmen's elixirs, he would have to drain his old bones.
In addition to these two kinds of flames, there is also earth fire.
It was a flame that could only be used by the sects of cultivating immortals. It had spiritual veins as its source, and its firepower was strong and endless.
So Shu Han began to learn how to generate elixir fire.
Relying on the support of medicinal herbs these days, Shu Han managed to complete the thirty-second cycle of the heavens, and finally there was a trickle of mana in his meridians.
According to the method recorded in the book, he introduced the magic power into Dantian, using his spiritual sense as a guide, and tried to output the Danhuo.
Shu Han found that it was quite difficult to cultivate his magic power, but it was relatively easy to ignite his magic power into elixir fire. Within a few days of trying, he successfully generated elixir fire in his dantian.
However, his mana was still stretched thin. The pill fire consumed a huge amount of mana, and it was all exhausted after trying to activate it a few times.
So, after using up the mana, he immediately took the herbal medicine to move around the world.
The cycle continued like this, and after three weeks of hard training, Shu Han was finally able to output elixir fire with a stable temperature.
Moreover, this kind of exhaustion cycle training has improved his cultivation level a lot, and now he is firmly on the first level of Qi refining.
Counting the days, it has been two months since he came to Longxuanmen.
That morning he went to the mouth of the valley to move charcoal for alchemy, and saw Gou Erdan and Gou Dan looking out at the mouth of the valley. After seeing Shu Han, the two dolls shouted excitedly, but did not dare to take a step forward.
Shu Han was also very happy to see them. He quickly moved the charcoal into the alchemy pavilion and ran out. The three children from Shuzhuang were all very happy to meet each other.
Erdan and Goudan were dressed in rich and jade clothes, completely unlike their original mountain village dolls.
Goudan said anxiously: "Brother Big Tou, guess what level of cultivation I have now? I have reached the first level of Qi refining! Erdan is faster than me. He entered the first level of cultivation twenty days ago. The elder said that Erdan and I They are all rare talents! They said they would allocate more pills to us!”
Hearing this, Shu Han was a little dumbfounded.
He also entered the first level twenty days ago, and his speed was actually faster than Goudan, and could keep up with Erdan who had twin spiritual roots.
It seems that the hard work and spiritual medicines of these days have not been in vain.
Erdan did not say much, took out three Qi-combining pills, and said: "Big Head Brother, these are what I left. It is more difficult for you to practice with five spiritual roots, and these Qi-combining pills can help you improve faster!"
Goudan was shocked: "Erdan! You secretly left the Qi-combining pills! If the elder knows about this, it will be over!"
"What are you afraid of! If you don't say anything, how will the elder know?"
Shu Han listened to Erdan's confident tone and felt that his treatment in Longxuan Sect was indeed extraordinary. He pushed away Erdan's pills and said with a smile: "Erdan, keep these Qi-combining pills for your own practice! Remember what Senior Brother Liheng said, after you enter Tianxuan Sect in the future, anything you take will be better than these Qi-combining pills. Work hard to practice, and we will all benefit from you in the future."
At this point, Erdan and Goudan were silent.
"Big Head Brother, Senior Brother Liheng...is dead."
"Ah?"
Shu Han was confused.
Erdan explained: "I heard from my brothers that these days, those gangs in the martial arts world have been killing our Longxuan Sect members, just like what happened to Zhang Xianchang that day. Now we have lost more than a dozen brothers."
"Why is this happening? Doesn't the leader care? Let us be bullied by those martial arts gangs?"
Goudan said: "The elder said that the Tianxuan Sect is far away from us, and we don't know when the leader will come back. Now Longxuan Sect doesn't allow disciples to go down the mountain."
Shu Han suddenly thought of the bold words of the bearded man that day, and suddenly he was shocked. He pulled Erdan and Goudan's shoulders and said: "You must be careful in the future! If there is danger in Longxuan Sect, you must come to me. Master has set up a sword formation here!"
