Eternal Cultivation: Starting with Three Generations Living Together

Xue Li finally chose a relatively remote location to stay.

This place is located on the edge of a residential area, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and pleasant scenery. The most important thing is that it is close to the edge of Fangshi. If anything happens to him, the big snake can quickly come to his aid.

Of course, the aura here is slightly worse than that of other residential areas, so there are not many people around.

After taking care of his residence and walking around to get familiar with the surroundings, Xue Li began to prepare for his first alchemy.

He went to Fangshi to buy some raw materials, and then built an alchemy room outside his house.

There are still some dangers in alchemy, and he doesn't want to blow up the house directly.

This time he was going to refine the first-level initial spirit-accumulating pill.

This kind of elixir can supply the spiritual energy needed by a monk in the early stage of Qi training for more than ten days. Even in the middle stage of Qi training, it can provide it for several days. He can also use it by himself at the fourth level of Qi training.

The main ingredient of this elixir is blood spirit rice, which is not expensive.

In addition, this elixir is mild in nature and has almost no side effects. It is not easy to accumulate erysipelas and develop strong drug resistance after repeated use.

In the early and middle stages of Qi training, this elixir is the favorite of monks.

There are only three steps to make this elixir:

The first step is to mix dead grass with more than a dozen ingredients, turn on the stove, and bake it with a slow fire for a day.

During the firing process, a series of spells are inserted into the furnace to continuously adjust the temperature of the elixir.

And constantly pouring his own spiritual power into it.

After one day all materials are removed from the furnace and ground into powder in an agate mortar.

The second step is to mix Xueling rice and Polygonatum japonica three to one.

First pound it in an agate mortar, then put it in the furnace and close the furnace for twelve hours.

During this period, a series of spells were injected to control the temperature, and several strands of spiritual energy were injected into it every half an hour.

The third step is the Dan-formation stage.

Mix and bake the two materials fired in the first two steps.

Temperature is controlled by legal decree. Every seven hours, pour a cup of Qiuling water containing a lot of spiritual energy, pour the spiritual energy into it, and then bake it for five days and five nights to make the elixir.

As a first-level primary elixir, it is not complicated to make and it does not take long.

There are only three steps and three main ingredients, and the elixir can be made in seven days.

In comparison, first-level and intermediate elixirs are much more complicated. There are usually more than ten or twenty steps and more than a dozen main ingredients, and it takes 37 to 21 days to complete the elixir.

As for the first-level high-level elixir, it is even more complicated. It requires forty or fifty steps, dozens of main ingredients, and usually takes seven, seven or forty-nine days to become the elixir.

As for the second-level elixir, not only are the steps more complicated, but they also need to be fired with your own spiritual fire...

The more steps and tricks there are, the easier it is to make mistakes, and the more difficult it is to make the elixir.

Sometimes the temperature is one or two degrees higher, the spiritual energy is one or two less, the firing time is one or two minutes longer...etc., the extremely small difference will destroy the material.

Not to mention those serious and huge mistakes such as mistakes in steps, mistakes in adding medicinal ingredients, missing time during care, etc.

Once an error occurs, if it is discovered in the early raw material preparation period, it may be possible to prepare it again and continue refining.

Once it enters the elixir-forming stage, all previous efforts will be wasted and the elixir will be completely scrapped.

All the people put into the bamboo basket to fetch water came to nothing.

Therefore, alchemists often encounter situations where they work hard for dozens of days, but in the end it is all in vain.

If you want to become an alchemist, you must not only have strong skills, but also have a good mentality.

After starting to refine alchemy, Xue Li fully felt the difficulty of the alchemy path.

With only three main ingredients, three steps, and seven days, it seems to be a very simple first-level early stage elixir.

He failed all the previous dozen times.

He did not have a master to guide him step by step, and he had no idea about the properties of the elixir.

There was no way to judge whether the medicine would be successful or not, so I had to explore slowly by myself.

The biggest fear in alchemy is actually making useless materials that seem to be successful but actually failed.

Or most of them are good materials, but some waste materials are mixed in.

One rat droppings spoils the whole pot of porridge.

A bit of waste material has a high probability of causing the entire elixir to be scrapped. Even if you are lucky enough not to scrap it, it will turn a good elixir into a bad elixir. It will lose its medicinal properties and be mixed with a large amount of erysipelas.

Once this elixir is taken, it may cause vomiting, diarrhea, or serious illness, or it may accumulate erysipelas in the spiritual roots, damaging the spiritual roots and foundation.

During this period, he summarized some experiences.

You have to constantly listen, see, smell, taste and touch a medicinal herb.

Listen to the sound of medicinal herbs being fired,

Look at the color of the medicinal materials after they are fired.

Smell the medicinal materials to see if there is any special aroma or odor.

Have a taste of the elixir. Different medicinal properties have different tastes.

Of course, you can also touch the medicinal materials with your hands and feel their texture.

Of course, the most important thing is to control the temperature of the alchemy furnace.

After about half a year of exploration, Xue Li finally figured out some ways on his own.

I am also becoming more and more familiar with the medicinal properties of each stage of Yunling Pill.

On this day, after seven days of refining, Xue Li opened the furnace with the expulsion technique.

After the alchemy furnace cooled down, Xue Li slowly took out some "alchemy slag!"

Xue Li's eyes lit up when he saw these pill residues.

Some pill blocks and particles in these pill residues are already very similar to the finished pills.

The reason why there was no elixir was probably because there was some small problem in a certain link, which caused the conflict between the properties of the medicine and caused the elixir to explode.

As for the part that went wrong, he has some clues. It is estimated that he can completely master this initial level of spiritual accumulation pill by experimenting a few more times.

It's not easy, it's really not easy.

For more than half a year, I worked non-stop on refining.

How much medicinal materials were wasted, and a lot of resources were spent to save time during this period...

With such consumption, if he doesn't have a wave of fat, even if he cultivates in the middle stage of Qi training, he may not be able to sustain it...

As soon as Xue Li had a thought, a tusked pig appeared next to him.

If the refining of the furnace elixir failed, of course he would not take it himself. It would be a pity to throw it away, so he would feed it to the worms.

This is a mid-level first-order fanged pig, five feet long and huge. It was caught by the Black Snake a few days ago and is now used as a new Gu insect host.

Xue Li controlled several sub-gu through the mother voodoo to swallow some good elixir residue.

Among these sub-gu, some are much larger than others. These are the elite sub-gu who have fed a large amount of pill residue.

The strength of these sub-gu has obviously improved.

After feeding the pill slag, Xue Li opened his mouth, and the Water Moon Gu wrapped the other two Gu worms slipped out of his mouth and fell into his hands.

Water Moon Gu, Black Snake Gu, Rainbow Cocoon.

After these years of feeding, the three-headed Gu worms have grown in size again, and their levels are gradually approaching the late first level.

However, it is estimated that it will take quite some time until the final stage.

Among them, the rainbow silkworm was promoted to a rainbow pupa a few days ago.

However, this promotion should only be an intermediate transition, and it did not realize more abilities.

It just improved his ability to control the big snake. Now the rainbow chrysalis alone can control the big snake to complete the meal, which saves him a lot of trouble.

Xue Li first swallowed a Bigu Pill, then took out a medicine bottle and placed several insect feeding pills in front of several Gu worms.

The three-headed Gu worms sniffed and then ate happily.

Bigu pills are not expensive. There are thirty pills in one spiritual stone, and one pill can meet the needs of a monk for ten days. In other words, one spiritual stone can last for three hundred days without eating.

Moreover, he refined the Bigu Pill himself, so the cost was even lower.

Insect-feeding pills are much more expensive. There are ten spiritual stones per piece, and one pill can meet the needs of the Gu insects for three days.

He has three Gu worms. If he feeds them all the time, one Gu worm will have to be fed ten times a month, which is one spiritual stone a month. Three heads means three spiritual stones a month, which is more expensive than his current rent.

However, Gu worms are one of his assets and can help him get through his weakest period, so he doesn't feel bad even if the cost is high.
