Chapter 1829: Retreat and Practice (IV)
At this time, Chen Xuan was in the cave, his face still revealed a trace of determination. But his determined face was pale and feminine, with beads of sweat hanging on it. And beside him were piles of medicine ash.
Hum! Chen Xuan snorted coldly, his eye sockets were black, his hair looked like he had no time to take care of it, and his white shirt was stained with medicine ash because of failure.
He looked extremely embarrassed...
It still doesn't work! Chen Xuan sighed in his heart. However, after three days of sleepless nights, Chen Xuan also realized something. The so-called alchemy is about color, fragrance and taste. Only when the three characteristics are found correctly can the Qingmu Pill be refined.
The so-called color is the color of the semi-condensed pill before the marrow is condensed. The finished Qingmu Pill is blue, but it has not completely formed blue before the marrow is condensed, so the degree of blue is one of the criteria for judging the marrow condensation time of the semi-condensed pill. And the degree of pill color Chen Xuan divided into ten equal parts according to the failure.
For the Qingmu Pill, it is blue from level one to level ten. Each level is very secretive.
The second fragrance refers to the aroma of the semi-condensed pill, which is also a criterion for judging the time of marrow condensation. Because the marrow has not yet condensed, the semi-condensed pill can only show part of the aroma of the mature pill, and Chen Xuan also divided the degree of aroma into ten equal parts according to the failure of the third.
The third refers to the taste. Of course, this taste is not tasted with the semi-condensed pill... but the breath of the semi-condensed pill, which is also an important reason for the failure of marrow condensation. After three days of refining, Chen Xuan found that each kind of pill has its own inherent attributes.
For example, the attribute of Qingmu Pill is wood, and the birth of wood is based on the five elements. The classics say "Water fills all trees and gives birth to them!" So it is water that gives birth to wood. The process of marrow condensation is a process of water giving birth to wood, but the so-called water does not refer to the water in the medicinal materials but the water pill refined from the medicinal materials of gold nature. And the water pill is called semi-condensed pill.
The so-called breath refers to the breath of the semi-condensed pill, that is, the breath of the water pill. If the medicinal material with the attribute of gold is refined into water pill, whether the gold attribute is completely transformed into water or not, this needs to be based on the experience of an alchemist.
For thousands of years in Daoxin Continent, no alchemist can achieve 100% success in condensing marrow. There will be impurities, and the so-called impurities are the original medicine. For the alchemist, the amount of impurities in the condensed marrow depends directly on his experience.
However, due to the collision between gold and wood, if the impurities are more than the wood attribute components of the generated Qingmu Pill, it will become medicine ash like the one refined by Chen Xuan.
Therefore, the water attribute breath of the water pill in the semi-condensed pill is also a reference standard. Chen Xuan also divides it into ten levels in turn, called the semi-condensed ten levels.
"Three layers of green, five-tenths of condensed fragrance, and three layers of semi-condensed." Chen Xuan said loudly while observing the condensed marrow of the semi-condensed pill. In fact, for Chen Xuan, it is more like a blind man touching an elephant. He can only explore forward bit by bit.
Boom! Suddenly, a green mist lingered around Chen Xuan like a fairy. Chen Xuan's eyes flashed, and his heart skipped a beat. He was extremely nervous. His feminine face was abnormally red, and his lips trembled slightly.
Silence, silent silence...
A burst of fragrance came to his face, making Chen Xuan feel exhausted. A breeze blew through Chen Xuan's hair. At this moment, he looked like a beggar who had received ten taels of silver. He looked very happy.
Hmph...
Chen Xuan hummed secretly, and a dark green pill fell into his left palm. Finally it worked! In fact, this is absolutely inseparable from Chen Xuan's previous efforts. In the twenty-five days, about twenty of them were spent on identifying medicinal materials. But it was because of this sharpening of the knife that allowed Chen Xuan to judge the marrow more accurately.
"What a good seedling!" Bai Yan's cold face was also relieved a little, and the extremely low air pressure just now was also restrained because of this matter. All the elders felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes! The chief elder is really good at judging people!"
"The chief elder is wise!"
Those old guys were like shameless corrupt officials flattering the ruler, with flattery in their eyes. Bai Yan's face did not change color because of these boasts, but nodded slightly in response.
It was just that a sneer that no one could detect appeared at the corner of his mouth, and no one knew what he was laughing at. No one dared to make a presumptuous guess.
It is well known that the chief elder is unpredictable. If you provoke him, you may end up like Bai Shan. That would be a place of no return.
Dao Xin Continent, in the Mizhisen Cave...
Chen Xuan put the Qingmu Dan to his nose and smelled it, frowning slightly. The fragrance is like the fragrance of flowers and plants in spring, and it is relatively elegant. The green Dan is dark in color and looks a little black. As for the black, it is similar to the color of the medicine ash on the ground.
Alas...
Chen Xuan sighed secretly, but then the gloomy look was hidden by Chen Xuan as if it had never appeared. Then his face returned to its original calmness.
"It seems that the quality of the Qingmu Pill this time is only the lowest. That is, the ninth grade quality! Although it is barely made, this kind of Qingmu Pill is too different from the first grade Qingmu Pill."
Although there is some frustration hidden in his tone, it is more of an expected calmness. If you want to reach the alchemy level of the ninth grade Dan Fu Master in the Dan Fu Secret Art, you must do your best.
That is to surpass the first grade quality and become a unique existence on the Daoxin Continent. Chen Xuan's eyes revealed a trace of desire and expectation, like a blazing fire burning in his heart.
But his face was still calm, making it hard to guess why.
"Come again!"
Chen Xuan wiped the sweat off his face without even a break, and his eyes showed a resolute look again. He did not practice swordsmanship during these five days, and devoted himself to the art of alchemy.
But his sword heart has improved a little more than before, and that resolute and unrestrained heart has taken root in the depths of his soul. Every failure is tempering his will and training his sword heart.
Boom boom boom...
About a few hours later, the ninth-grade Qingmu Dan piled up behind Chen Xuan. But he seemed to be unaware of it, and was still as cold as a general sitting in command, studying and smelting, tirelessly...
Finally, at the second dawn, the 9-grade Qingmu Dan was born with the dawn. But Chen Xuan's feminine and pale face did not even frown, but threw the 9-grade Qingmu Dan into the sea of dan behind him.
It was as casual as garbage being thrown away by its owner. That was a pill worth a thousand gold! But Chen Xuan didn't care at all.
Chen Xuan's eyes were still filled with crazy and terrifying persistence and determination, and he didn't even have time to care about the sweat on his forehead. The whole person was like growing into the soil, deeply buried, not caring about anything outside the cave.
In his eyes, there was only the small space in front of him, and the pure elixir in his heart. At this time, his heart was like a slowly flowing stream, flowing quietly.
The earth fire driven by the power of the heart on his left palm was sometimes fierce and sometimes dark. The heart power in his blood that accompanied his blood was like an endless breeze that drove the earth fire to life.
Bang!
The white shirt on Chen Xuan's body was accidentally affected by the power of the earth fire when Chen Xuan refined it for the countless times. The whole gray-black white shirt exploded directly, like a piece of broken cloth hanging on Chen Xuan's red body.
Chen Xuan's resolute and persistent eyes were full of scarlet, like an angry gorilla, terrifying and terrifying. But his face was like an ice cube on the Beiming Continent, dead silent and expressionless.
In the main hall of the Elders' Council...
"Well! This boy's character is indeed good!" Bai He muttered softly. Bai He, if Chen Xuan saw him again, he would definitely recognize him, but he would definitely be surprised. That originally stern-faced and unruly ice cube actually showed a smile that was uglier than crying and praised him?
Uh... Isn't this a dream? Or is the immortal sick?
Bai He regretted it as soon as he said this! The chief elder probably likes the immortal with a calm character. If the immortal with an unstable character is shown in front of the chief elder, he will inevitably be scolded.
And if it is more serious, I am afraid it will be like Bai Shan...
As for Bai Shan, Bai He can only say that he is unlucky enough, but while secretly sighing that Bai Shan is unlucky enough...
Bai He still sighed about the enemies that Chen Xuan will encounter in the future. The chief elder is really generous! That is the existence of an immortal body, and he is willing to use an immortal body to test Chen Xuan!
"Hmm!" The chief elder Bai Yan nodded slightly to show his approval, without any dissatisfaction with Bai He on his face. This made Bai He want to do something crazy...
He wanted to rub his eyes and even slap himself! Is this really not a dream? This is even more ridiculous than a dream!
The chief elder did not have any dissatisfaction, and the cold eyes like daggers did not crush him, but nodded in approval!
Hiss...
Bai He secretly took a breath of cold air, and even the other elders secretly took a breath of cold air. He was really unpredictable! I will be happy in the future. Several elders said in their hearts.
As for Chen Xuan, in the monitoring mirror, he was still the same as a few days ago, as if he was a madman sinking into the art of li.
Grade 7...Chen Xuan just glanced at it and threw it behind him. In the cave, there was only the sound of the medicine pill falling into the sea of dan and the crackling sound of the burning ground fire. Chen Xuan could hardly hear his own breathing...
The absolute silence made Chen Xuan sink deeper into the secret technique!
Grade 6... Chen Xuan threw it behind him without even raising his eyes.
Grade 5, 4, 3...
No matter how the grade of Chen Xuan's Qingmu Dan is improved, it is like medicine ash in his eyes. It's just the third grade, but the Qingmu Dan sea behind Chen Xuan has become an existence that cannot be estimated by value.
If it were another alchemist, he would be scared out of his wits! How can this boy's Dao Heart Power be so strong? You should know that the alchemists in Dao Heart Continent have to rest for a long time after refining a pill, and wait until the Dao Heart Power is restored before refining it.
People like Chen Xuan can only exist in legends!
