Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Chapter 88 Alchemy (Part 2)

When Tang Ning saw him like this, she guessed that it must be the green spiritual power in his body. She was afraid that he would see something. After all, he didn't understand the secrets of elixirs at all. His eyes darkened and he was secretly wary. , don’t be so reckless next time.

The two of them had their own thoughts. After a while, Gao Cailiang broke the silence and said in surprise: "Hey! This fire has obviously lost its supply of spiritual power. How come there is still a tiny kind of fire left?"

Tang Ning knew that this green spiritual energy was extremely tenacious. Even if the supply of spiritual energy was lost, it would still take a while to completely extinguish the flames. She quickly covered it up and said, "Maybe it's because I absorbed too much spiritual energy just now!"

After saying that, he went outside to get a basin of water, opened the lid of the alchemy cauldron, and poured the water into it to extinguish the fire in the cauldron.

Gao Cailiang became more and more shocked and suspicious. He had been immersed in this way for decades and knew that the flames in the alchemy cauldron were formed by spiritual power. Without the supply of spiritual power, they would disappear immediately. How could such a thing happen?

Seeing this, Tang Ning knew that she couldn't hide it without giving a reasonable explanation: "The exercises I major in are the forbidden secrets of the sect, and my spiritual power is stronger than that of ordinary people, so the flames have not dissipated for a while."

"Oh, I see, no wonder it turned into fire so quickly." Gao Cailiang nodded, still dubious in his heart, but he reluctantly accepted this explanation.

"What should we do next?"

"After the spiritual energy turns into fire, you need to learn to control the spiritual fire. Just now, your spiritual energy turned into a physical flame because you didn't control it and it burned into a raging fire. You try to control the output of spiritual power in your body."

Tang Ning placed his hand on the alchemy cauldron and circulated green spiritual energy into his palm. He immediately felt a suction force sucking away the spiritual energy from his palm. However, due to his extremely strong toughness, he could not absorb all the spiritual energy in his body. The force reached the palm of his hand, and in an instant a raging fire erupted in the alchemy cauldron.

He controlled the output of spiritual power in his body, and the flame immediately became smaller. As he increased the output of spiritual power, the flame immediately increased. He controlled the flame like a child holding a torch, sometimes reducing the supply of spiritual power, sometimes increasing the supply of spiritual power. The flames in the cauldron change with each other, sometimes getting bigger and sometimes getting smaller.

"Okay." Gao Cailiang stepped forward and pushed the hole on the fire starter, and shook the handle counterclockwise. The flames under the alchemy cauldron gradually extinguished: "You already know the basic skills of alchemy, making pills and controlling fire, but mastering these two It does not mean that you will be able to make a qualified elixir. Alchemy is the accumulation of experience. No matter how others give you advice, it is far less than the understanding you get when you make the elixir yourself. Start now!"

Tangning walked over, pushed the slot upwards, and shook the handle.

Not long after, the flame started. Seeing that the flame was about the same as Gao Cailiang's usual time, Tang Ning pressed the hole to let the flame continue to supply. After the flame warmed the pill cauldron, he picked up the pill pills he made during the day and put them in through the left hole, and then observed the changes in the pill pills through the transparent chip.

Seeing many tiny pores appearing on the outside, he hurriedly kneaded the powder of the main medicine into a ball and put it inside. The ball quickly turned into powder.

He stepped forward and pushed the slot on the fire starter to lower the molten flames. He placed his right hand on the fire mouth of the alchemy cauldron. A flame immediately appeared in the alchemy cauldron. Tang Ning closed his eyes slightly and used his spiritual consciousness to sense the subtlety of the elixir in the alchemy cauldron. Changes control the temperature of the flame, and the spiritual power draws the powder into the pill.

He could feel the existence of the powder, and worked hard to control and pull it, before the main medicine powder could be integrated into the pill! The pill has turned into powder.

"The pill disintegrates from the inside out. When many pores appear on the outside, its dissolution is irreversible. If the main drug powder cannot be integrated into it in time, it will break into powder. In addition, you put in the main drug too early. "You should wait until the medicinal powder inside the pill is completely dispersed before adding the main medicine," Gao Cailiang said.

Tang Ning nodded and started refining again. After trying more than ten times in a row, none of them succeeded. Either the spiritual fire failed to control the evaporation of the main medicine powder, or the integration time was too slow. The closest to success was when the main medicine powder was introduced into the pill. , but because the medicinal properties are uneven and mutually exclusive, the pills soon turned into powder.

This alchemy refining was really hard work. After trying it for more than ten times, he felt a little tired, and his body's spiritual power and consciousness were consumed a lot.

"Alchemy cannot be accomplished overnight. It is the result of long-term accumulated experience. You should rest first, understand the experience of the alchemy below, and summarize the reasons for failure."

……………………

Three months later, Tang Ning finally succeeded in refining a qualified Qi-nourishing elixir. He stroked the black elixir back and forth with both hands and was overjoyed. He had spent countless amounts of medicinal materials before this, and the waste elixir alone was enough to refine it. With more than a hundred pills, he can now understand why the profit of the pill is so high. The initial investment is indeed huge!

Gao Cailiang nodded secretly and refined the elixir within three months. This talent was quite good. He started learning how to make elixirs back then, but it took him a full year to refine a qualified elixir.

"It's not bad to refine the elixir in three months. It's about the same as when I used to. Hey, I've refined more than 200 Qi Condensation Pills in the past few months. The elixir I bought at Yellow Maple Valley last time is almost used up. It seems that I will need it soon. Going again.”

Tang Ning smiled and put down the elixir in her hand. He naturally knew what Gao Cailiang meant. Although he was talking about the Qi Condensing Pill, he actually meant the elixir promised earlier.

In fact, he has hinted it several times in the past few months, each time becoming more obvious. If he doesn't express it again, he may really become anxious.

"I will find a way to send someone the elixir I promised last time. It will definitely arrive within two months."

Upon hearing this, Gao Cailiang's spirit was lifted and he said with joy: "Okay, okay."

After he finished speaking, he noticed that he had lost his temper and changed his words: "Well, there's no need to be in such a hurry. Of course it would be good to go faster."

He was really impatient. In the past few months, he had tried refining the Wanling Pill more than a dozen times, but failed every time at the critical moment. He could not even refine a useless pill.

Tang Ning left the alchemy room and returned to Niutoushan. He placed the flags of the small cloud and mist array according to the directions, put in the spirit stones, and activated the formation. Not long after, clouds of mist rose up, covering an area of ​​dozens of feet. After doing this, he came to the cave. In the backyard, I took out the rosette and water rush seeds from the storage bag and started catalyzing.

…………

The quiet night sky, the depths of the inaccessible dense forest, are filled with the sounds of insects and birds. Between the swaying shadows of the trees, a flash of light illuminates the dark night sky. It flashes away like a flash in the pan, and the century-old tree collapses. Hundreds of birds spread their wings and fluttered in the forest, fleeing hastily from east to west. In the jungle, a man's body lay lying on his side, his blood staining the ground beside him red.

"Deal with this person quickly and don't cause any big noise." A slightly heavy and old voice said.

A fireball condensed out of thin air and hit the corpse, turning it into ashes within a short time.

"You're really looking for death. If you go by Yu Jian honestly, nothing will happen. When you see the light, you think it's a rare treasure, and you want to come down and pick it up. There are so many rare treasures in the world. Even if there are, it's not your turn. Don't weigh yourself. A few taels." Another man said, with many complaints and dissatisfaction in his words.

There were five people in this group, all dressed in different costumes. The leader, the old man, had reached the middle stage of foundation building, and the remaining four were also late-stage Qi refining monks. Each of the five people held a black compass in their hands, which glowed dimly.

"Senior Brother Wu, if you have anything to say in front of your uncle, just say it directly, and don't blame Sang and Huai in a weird way." said a middle-aged man in a brocade robe and grosgrain.

The man surnamed Wu said: "Junior Brother Chu, don't blame me for telling you, but your information is too unreliable. Last time you said the treasure might be in the Shouyang Mountains, but what happened! We searched there for four months, every inch I’ve searched everywhere, right? Last time you said it might be in Zuoyi County, but then I searched for it for half a year and still couldn’t find it.”

"It's been a month since I've been here this time! I haven't found anything at all. All the brothers followed you day and night like rats, for fear of being discovered by others. Not only did they not find the unique treasure you talked about, but they also delayed their practice. "You are the only one who has seen this so-called rare treasure. I doubt whether it exists."

The man in the golden robe retorted: "You can talk to my uncle about this. I don't have the ability to let you follow me to find the treasure. What I said about the Shouyang Mountains and Zuoyi County is right, but it's also true. It's only possible. It's my uncle who ordered you to search. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can complain about this and that all the time. How can you find a treasure? I report the information I know out of sincerity. If I find a rare treasure, will I still be able to give it to me?”

"Don't make yourself look so glorious and sincere. Why didn't you tell me that you had been searching secretly for a year? If you hadn't really had no choice but to have no clue, would you have reported it to your uncle? If you were really sincere, why didn't you tell me about it in the first place? Are you going to inform your uncle immediately?" the man named Wu said sarcastically.

"you……"

"Shut up, everyone, why are you arguing?" The old man shouted: "Why is Xuanmen so powerful? It's because you are not united with each other and have your own agenda. Master Nephew Chu's news is correct. There are indeed rare treasures in the Jingbei area. It's just that We haven’t found it yet, so we’re not allowed to say any more words of frustration or doubt from now on, do you hear me?”

The man surnamed Wu said: "Master, if there is really a treasure, why have we been looking for it for so long and there is no vision at all? Not only us, but also several other people have not found anything. If it is as he said that the treasure is so bright, the spiritual power of the treasure must be The world is overflowing, and even the surrounding areas will be affected, and the spiritual energy will increase significantly. However, our team of people have almost rummaged through Jingbei, and there is no change at all on the soul measuring board. The spiritual energy here is very thin, and there is no magic treasure. If the treasure is really soaring into the sky, why is he the only one who sees it? There are so many people in Jingbei and no one else has eyes for such a big movement. "

The man in brocade robes said: "I have said that late at night, the precious light soaring into the sky just flashed by and dissipated in the blink of an eye. Others may have seen it, but they may not have enough knowledge to think it was a monk practicing. Therefore, there is no news. spread."
