Chapter 1298 Alchemy Sect

Elder Gongsun's high-pitched voice echoed in the valley, and the entire venue was so loud that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone gathered their full attention and carefully recorded every word.

For human cultivators, the way of alchemy is the foundation of cultivation and an indispensable aid to the immortal path. In the process of cultivation, a cultivator has almost an unavoidable connection with various elixirs.

Even if it is a natural spiritual root, after cultivating to the Nascent Soul, it also needs the help of elixirs to further improve its cultivation realm.

Moreover, after the transformation of spirits, the qualifications of cultivators have been reshuffled and divided into different levels. And as the realm is improved, the need for elixirs has become more and more dependent.

Especially after advancing to the Tribulation Period, the comprehension of the rules of heaven and earth, on the one hand, relies on one's own understanding, and another very important way is Dao Dan.

One of the necessary conditions for a Mahayana cultivator to ascend is to fully comprehend a certain rule. Otherwise, ascending to the fairyland will face great risks, and there is a high probability that they will encounter unexpected events during the ascension process.

This is why the Jade Pill Master is so valued in the spirit world.

Of course, the status of the Purple Pill Master is already very high, because no one knows whether this Purple Pill Master will go a step further and become a Jade Pill Master one day.

Especially the top-quality Purple Pill Master like Elder Gongsun, who is even rarer.

The profound meaning of the alchemy flowed out from Elder Gongsun's mouth, and it was obscure and mysterious. Xiao Lin and others were fascinated by it.

After the cultivators have cultivated to a high level, whether it is alchemy or refining equipment, they all understand the rules of heaven and earth. As the saying goes, human power is limited, but the power of heaven and earth is unlimited.

The reason why real immortals can move mountains and seas and exert great power is that they have a deep understanding of the mysteries of heaven and earth.

The cultivators in the spiritual world still stay in the power of the rules of heaven and earth in their bodies, using it to display all kinds of powerful magical powers.

But the real immortals in the fairy world are said to be able to directly drive the power of heaven and earth and display all kinds of incredible powers.

In the valley, the mystery lingered for a long time. Elder Gongsun kept talking for more than two hours before he stopped.

But the whole venue was still silent. Everyone had a thoughtful expression on their faces, as if they were digesting the mysteries of alchemy they heard.

It was unknown how long it took before someone started to stand up.

Xiao Lin sat cross-legged and memorized all the mysteries of alchemy that Elder Gongsun talked about. With his attainments in alchemy, he could only understand half of it. For the parts that he had not yet comprehended, Xiao Lin also kept them in mind and slowly comprehended and digested them one day.

After standing up, Xiao Lin found that Xue Lingshan had left first, so after thinking for a moment, he walked towards Youdan Building.

Elder Gongsun's explanation of the secrets of alchemy was only the first link. There was also a communication link later, which was also a link that Xiao Lin attached great importance to. Most of the recipes he collected were fourth- and fifth-level recipes. There were a few sixth-level recipes, but not many. As for the seventh-level recipes, there were only two or three purchased from the merchant, which was far from meeting Xiao Lin's alchemy needs.

After all, there are many kinds of spiritual medicines in the world of immortal cultivation, and the corresponding recipes are also varied. Xiao Lin's spiritual wood space can cultivate all spiritual medicines, as long as there are spiritual medicine seedlings, so for him, the more recipes he collects, the better.

Xiao Lin quickly walked into the Youdan Building and found that the entire hall was full of jade pillars. On each jade pillar, there was a group of spiritual light shields, and in the light shield was a jade box. On the top of the jade box was a jade bottle, and below was a spiritual pill.

Next to the jade box, there was a piece of paper with a description and introduction of the spiritual pill.

And according to the different grades of spiritual pills, they were also divided into different areas.

From the third-level elixir to the seventh-level elixir.

When Xiao Lin came to participate in the Ancient Alchemy Conference, he also discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, the cultivators who came to participate in the Ancient Alchemy Conference were at least at the Golden Core Stage. Those low-level human cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage and the Foundation Building Stage could only go to the market to buy elixir recipes and various elixir medicines as well as elixir refining experience.

They were not qualified to participate in several important matters of the Ancient Alchemy Conference.

Xiao Lin took a rough look at the third-level to fifth-level elixir and went straight to the direction of the sixth-level elixir.

[Translucent Meridian Spiritual Pill? ] The first sixth-level elixir that Xiao Lin saw. Xiao Lin had seen the list of this elixir in the business, but there was no finished elixir for sale.

This Translucent Meridian Spiritual Pill can only be regarded as an ordinary elixir among the sixth-level elixir. Once taken, it can not only improve the mana of the cultivator, but also penetrate the meridians of the cultivator, improving the toughness and strength of the meridians.

The advantage is that it can not only improve the cultivation, but also strengthen the meridians.

The disadvantage is that the effect of improving cultivation is average, and the effect of strengthening meridians is far inferior to many body-refining elixirs.

This elixir is a relatively mediocre elixir, and it is quite ordinary.

Xiao Lin is now a cultivator in the late stage of refining emptiness, and this elixir has little effect on improving his cultivation.

"Purple Qi Gathering Yuan Pill?"

Xiao Lin's eyes suddenly lit up, and a purple elixir attracted his attention. Xiao Lin looked at the introduction next to him.

Purple Qi Ju Yuan Dan, a sixth-level middle-grade elixir, contains a gathering spirit dust array in the elixir, which can absorb the spirit energy within a hundred feet around and enter the meridians during the process of digesting the medicinal power, greatly improving the effect of the elixir.

However, this gathering spirit dust array is a very common one in the alchemy array. It is not very mysterious, and the effect is not obvious. It can increase the spiritual power absorption of the elixir by 10%, which is the limit.

"Fellow Daoist, do you want to buy a sixth-level elixir?" At this time, a woman in her thirties came over and looked at Xiao Lin with a smile.

Xiao Lin saw the Xiaodanzong clothing on her body and the mark of the top-grade purple elixir master on her chest, and immediately showed a bit of surprise.

"I am Xiao Lin, just walking around and learning about it." Xiao Lin replied with a smile.

"It's Elder Xiao. Lingshan has mentioned you to me. I'm Wenxuan, also an alchemist at Xiaodan Mountain. Elder Gongsun is my mentor."

"It's Fairy Wen. I didn't expect Elder Gongsun to have a disciple like you. To be honest, Xiao's attainments in alchemy are far inferior to yours. I hope Fairy Wen can give me some pointers when I have time."

"Elder Xiao is too kind. I heard from Lingshan that Elder Xiao is also an alchemist. It's okay to communicate with each other. As for guidance, I'm ashamed to say that."

Speaking of this, Wenxuan seemed to suddenly remember something and smiled: "This Purple Qi Juyuan Pill is only of medium quality among the sixth-level spiritual pills. Elder Xiao is a cultivator in the late stage of refining emptiness. The effect of this kind of spiritual pill is not obvious. Why don't you take a look at these spiritual pills."

Wenxuan made a gesture of invitation, Xiao Lin nodded, and followed her into the hall.

Soon they came to several thick jade pillars. Wen Xuan pointed at one of them and said, "This elixir is called [Purple Cold Rhythm Water Pill]"

"This Purple Cold Rhythm Water Pill contains pure cold spiritual energy, and it also integrates the Five Elements Soul-fixing Formation into the elixir. During the digestion and absorption process, it can absorb the spiritual energy of hundreds of feet around it, transform it into pure ice spiritual energy, and inject it into itself, which is enough to improve the elixir's efficacy by 30%. Although it is not the top among the sixth-level elixir, it is also considered superior."

Xiao Lin looked at the purple elixir in front of him. Outside the purple light circle, there was actually a ball of green cold flame flashing, which would flash every few moments, appearing to be unusually agile.

Xiao Lin also showed a hint of surprise on his face. If he wanted to refine an elixir of this quality, he would also need some luck, and the success rate was not high.

He looked at Wen Xuan in front of him with a bit of realization: "Could this Purple Cold Rhyme Water Pill be made by Fairy Wen?"

When Wen Xuan heard this, a blush appeared on her pretty face. It was obvious that it was made by her, just as Xiao Lin guessed.

"Brother Xiao, please forgive me for making fun of you. This was also made by Wen Xuan when she advanced to the upper-grade purple pill master. A total of ten pills were made, and seven were handed over to the sect. The three pills that were sold today were exactly those."

So that's the case. Xiao Lin was not surprised. In the sect, the alchemists relied on the resources of the sect to make pills, and most of the elixirs they made had to be handed over to the sect.

Wen Xuan handed over 70% and kept 30% for herself, which shows that Xiaodanshan is still very generous. In many sects, it is considered good if the alchemists can keep 10% or 20%.

"As an alchemist, Elder Xiao also understands that the more single the properties of high-level elixirs are, the better. Before the transformation of spirits, the elixirs that we cultivators take are mostly impure. If we can absorb 50% to 60% of the spiritual energy in the elixir, it is already a good elixir. After the transformation of spirits, the cultivator's spiritual roots melt and turn into immortal spiritual roots. Immortal spiritual roots can absorb spiritual energy of all properties, which reduces our requirements for the properties of elixirs to the extreme. Therefore, most fifth-level elixirs contain multiple properties, and the requirements for the properties of spiritual medicines are also very low. As long as the age of the medicine is sufficient, it can basically be used to refine elixirs." Seeing Xiao Lin nodded, Wen Xuan continued: "However, after advancing to the refining of the void, this situation has changed again. Because of the immortal roots, cultivators can absorb elixirs of different properties, but the skills that we cultivators practice are basically biased towards a certain attribute. For example, the skills that Wen Xuan practices are biased towards water attributes. In this way, to If you swallow a spiritual pill of other attributes or a spiritual pill of multiple attributes, you need to transform it during the absorption process, which reduces the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy and wastes part of the medicinal power. "

"So the sixth-level superior spiritual pills are generally single-attribute spiritual pills. When combined with the power of the formation, they can greatly improve the cultivator's absorption of spiritual energy from the spiritual pill, achieving twice the result with half the effort."

"Xiao has also studied the way of formations, but he also understands that the formations engraved in the process of alchemy are very different. Of course, Xiao is not talking about the principle of the formation, but the process of engraving the formation."

"Haha, Elder Xiao is indeed very accomplished in alchemy. He understood the key at a glance. Indeed, the middle and low-level alchemy mainly focuses on the refining process of the spiritual pill, while the high-level spiritual pill focuses on the dual process of engraving the formation and refining. How to take both into account and how not to exclude each other is the process of refining high-level spiritual pills. "

After a pause, Wen Xuan continued, "In our Xiaodan Mountain, we actually divide the dual processes of engraving arrays and refining into two factions, one is the Jingdan faction, and the other is the Daodan faction."

"Oh? What is the Jingdan faction? What is the Daodan faction?" Xiao Lin was surprised when he heard this. He had refined a large number of elixirs, but he had never heard of the term faction.

"It's normal that Elder Xiao has never heard of it. After all, this is the result of countless years of summary by many alchemists in our Xiaodan Mountain, based on the direction they focus on. Elder Gongsun is from the Daodan faction, while Elder Zhuge from our Xiaodan Mountain is from the Jingdan faction."

After that, Wen Xuan began to explain to Xiao Lin the difference between the two factions.

It turns out that the so-called Jingdan faction and the Daodan faction are the different focuses in the process of refining elixirs. The Jingdan faction believes that the most important thing in refining elixirs is to refine the refining process and ensure that every step can be done to the extreme. Only in the last stage, the array is engraved to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and then become a pill.

The Daodan School believes that refining elixirs is the same as cultivating immortals and refining the Tao. It is necessary to integrate the formation into every process of alchemy, so that the elixir can absorb a large amount of spiritual energy from the heaven and earth, and even absorb the power of rules through the power of the formation. In this way, the quality of the elixir will be qualitatively improved.

In fact, the success rate of alchemy in these two schools is not much different. Although the Jingdan School is smooth in the early stage, the probability of failure is higher in the process of engraving the formation in the last stage.

The Daodan School has the possibility of failure in every process, but compared with the last stage of the Jingdan School, the probability of failure is much smaller, and once the elixir is completed, the quality of the elixir will be slightly higher.

After understanding this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but sigh secretly. In fact, he encountered similar problems in the process of alchemy. High-level elixir needs to use the power of the formation to absorb spiritual energy and preserve the spiritual energy of the elixir itself, so engraving the formation is essential.

However, Xiao Lin had been struggling for a long time whether to carve it gradually during the refining process, or to carve it at the critical moment of the final pill.

However, he chose the former later. This is not to say that the Jingdan School is not as good as the Daodan School. In Xiao Lin's opinion, his alchemy level is not enough. If he leaves it to the last step to carve it into the formation, the probability of failure is still very high.

Once it fails, it will lead to the failure of alchemy, and the loss is undoubtedly huge.

However, if the success rate of carving into the formation can be ensured, it may not be impossible to adopt the method of the Jingdan School.

Through the debate between the Jingdan School and the Daodan School, the further improvement of the alchemy process can be promoted. From this point of view, the name of Xiaodan Mountain is indeed well-deserved.

Xiao Lin also became more determined to ask those alchemy predecessors for advice.

Next, Xiao Lin naturally asked Fairy Wenxuan about the experience of the Daodan lineage. Since she was a disciple of Elder Gongsun, she naturally followed the path of the Daodan School.

What surprised Xiao Lin was that Fairy Wen Xuan did not hide her incompetence in answering his questions. She spoke eloquently and in great detail, even taking the opportunity to raise many of the problems she encountered in the process of refining the elixir, and Xiao Lin was able to offer some solutions.

The two of them got along better and better, and in the end they went directly to a secluded box to communicate.
