Volume 2 Yun Ji Cang Hai Chapter 609 The Method of Alchemy
A hundred-foot-high stone mountain seemed to have been struck by a sharp sword, creating a deep gap. The stream below was deep and quiet, surrounded by lush vegetation and rich spiritual energy. This is Netherworld Stream!
Beside a pool connected by a stream, there was a long-abandoned cave. After being silent for hundreds of thousands of years, a figure stepped out at this time.
This man was wearing a gray robe and had a small gourd tied around his waist. There is a dragon-head hairpin stuck in his slightly messy bun, his eyebrows are like knives, his yellowish cheeks are as calm as jade, and the corners of his mouth are always slightly raised inadvertently. This is exactly what Lin Yi looks like! His eyes were shining as he looked around in front of the cave.
Before, Lin Jiangxian took Lin Yi around the Qingyou Valley in Qianli, so he might as well enjoy the scenery here. After explaining the general situation in the surrounding area, he left the latter behind and went back alone.
Nowadays, this area of hundreds of miles in radius belongs to Lin Yi. According to Lin Jiangxian's words, instead of succumbing to the position of elder in a small sect, it would be better to be the owner of Qingyou Valley in the future and feel free and comfortable. The common people still understand the principle of "I would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow", but the Tianzhen Sect in Yushan is really unbearable. All in all, he is looking forward to Brother Lin settling down here!
Lin Yi didn't care about which sect he joined, he just wanted to find a stable place to stay. Although he had no choice but to join the Tianzhen Sect in the first place, he may not have had his own ideas. After learning about the personalities of Tian Zhenzi and Tie Qi, it was not difficult to get along with each other, so they changed their original intentions.
Perhaps, compared with the Duanyu Peak, Qingyou Valley is a better place to stay! However, it is not too late to wait until a hundred years later...
After standing in front of the cave for a moment, Lin Yi walked leisurely with his hands behind his back. After a while, tall cattail grass blocked the way. He flicked his robe sleeves, and a three-foot-wide path suddenly opened in front of him. Not far ahead, there is a deep pool dozens of feet in size.
The pool has no waves and is as deep as ink. The grass on the shore is lush and fragrant, and there is a strong spiritual energy blowing towards your face. Looking up, the end of the deep pool is the Netherworld Stream. The deep stream, which is more than ten feet wide, is connected to the pond, and then goes straight up to a hundred feet, showing a strange line of sky.
Looking around, Lin Yi drove his consciousness into the water. The pool is dozens of feet deep and connected to a stream that goes westward for hundreds of miles with no end in sight. After thinking for a moment, he stretched out his hand and took out a few pieces of jade talismans and threw them into the grass behind him, setting up an escape talisman formation to protect him from danger. After that, a layer of yellow light flashed across his body, and the figure sank to the ground.
A moment later, Lin Yi came hundreds of feet underground. Searching around found nothing, but the spiritual energy became more and more intense. He continued to escape down the earth...
Until the depth of a thousand feet, Lin Yi's figure stagnated. The huge crushing force came from the earth and rocks, and even his body, which was as solid as gold and stone, felt a heavy burden. After a while, there was a strange violent energy and chaotic vibrations coming from below. He couldn't help but be startled, and then he became a little curious.
A hundred feet below him, a gray ground dragon two to three feet long appeared, charging rampantly and angry. In addition, there are more than a dozen giant scorpions several feet in size restless and ferocious in the distance.
Incredible! Lin Yi secretly shook his head. There are actually some reptiles born in such a deep underground. They are all extremely ferocious and have an aura that is not inferior to that of Qi-training monks. This is obviously trying to block his own way!
In addition to their ferocious nature, they are also greedy. These are a group of monsters that have become spirits! Lin Yi ignored it, his aura emerged, and he continued to sink.
The aura of the golden elixir monk was too strong, causing the group of spiritual monsters to panic and turn around and run away one by one.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yi fled down several hundred feet, only to be blocked by a huge stone again. The majestic spiritual energy flows from the stone wall like a tide, bathing in it makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally. He slowly stopped and a smile appeared on his lips!
Like a mountain with a radius of ten miles, hidden 1,500 feet deep underground, this is the spiritual vein of Netherworld Stream!
After Lin Yi learned about the general situation of Qingyou Valley, he made the Netherworld Valley, which had been deserted for many years, a place of retreat. Lin Jiangxian agreed to this. In addition to the rich aura and secludedness of this place, he also thought about the spiritual vein hidden underground!
Opening his mouth and spitting out the Golden Dragon Sword, Lin Yi called out: "Old Long, can you wake up...?"
There was silence in the sea of consciousness for a while, and then Old Long's reluctant words came: "Old Long, I'm tired! I just took a nap... Could it be that I'm in trouble again... spiritual veins?"
Before Lin Yi could answer, Lao Long had noticed something strange around him. He snorted and said: "You have a clear conscience! Old Long, I still know how to recognize people! Eh? How can you have... That's all! Let's talk about it later..." Before he could finish his words, the Golden Dragon Sword The light flashed and disappeared into the stone wall in front of it.
Seeing this, Lin Yi thought for a while and secretly shook his head. The old dragon had been of great help to him many times, but the spiritual vein he had been promised was not easy to find. In places like Tianzhenmen and the Liu family in Yushan Town, if someone disrupts the spiritual veins for no reason, it will be impossible to live this life!
The situation in Qingyou Valley is different. According to Lin Jiangxian, Lin Yi guessed that there is more than one spiritual vein here.
As expected, although this Netherworld Stream has been deserted for many years, there is an idle spiritual vein underground that no one is using. In this case, if you don't take advantage of Lao Long, you might as well have something unexpected happen. And as long as the root of the spiritual veins is not moved, it will slowly recover in the next few years.
After staying in place for a while, Lin Yi didn't notice anything unusual about his spiritual veins. With a movement of his body, he got into the stone wall, and after a moment, he walked out of it again, with two more high-grade spiritual stones in his hand.
The aura here is full of energy, all formed by the gathering of hidden shapes, and it is not filled with spiritual stones as imagined. However, this is a good place for retreat and practice!
After some secret calculation, Lin Yi put away the spirit stone, and was surprised by what he saw with his spiritual consciousness. A hundred feet away, the group of scorpions and earth dragons did not go away, but stayed quietly near the spiritual veins, each one looking like they were practicing cultivation!
The spiritual veins are born and bring blessings to thousands of living beings! Humans and reptiles, this is the case!
…
The next day, Lin Jiangxian went down the mountain for a long journey without any delay.
In the quiet valley, only Old Baicao and Lin Yi were left. And in that stone room, there was already thick smoke, the aroma of medicine was fragrant, and the fire was rising...
The alchemy furnace is three feet in size and hangs one foot above the ground. Following Baicaozi's hand gesture, a wisp of baby fire rushed into the furnace, instantly affecting the embedded fire formation. The copper-colored furnace body immediately turned purple, and the scorching heat immediately filled the entire cave.
Old Man Baicao took his time and made a little effort, and an invisible restriction immediately enveloped the alchemy furnace, causing the burning waves to disappear.
"I'll make a batch of 'Baoyuan Dan' first to practice my skills, so as not to waste those rare elixirs! Haha!" Baicao smiled at Lin Yi who was standing aside. He originally looked like an ordinary old man, but the moment he started refining the elixir, his eyes were bright, his expression was high, and his aura changed.
Old Man Baicao's cave has a rich collection of rare elixir recipes or alchemy formulas, and what Lin Yi holds in his hand is a good alchemy technique. There are detailed explanations on how to make alchemy in the furnace, raising the furnace, accumulating elixirs, offering sacrifices to elixirs, and extracting elixirs. Compared with Mr. Ruoshui's "Alchemy Handbook", these methods are more detailed and sophisticated, which is refreshing. Hearing the old man speak, he raised his head and looked around——
"Just now it's 'Yunlu' and 'Yanglu'..." As he spoke, Old Baicao kept his hands on. The purple-red alchemy furnace was burning vigorously, and with a crisp sound of 'ding--', the lid of the furnace was gently lifted, and the herbs sorted on the mat flew in one after another.
After the furnace lid fell, Old Man Baicao played a few tricks, and the momentum of the furnace fire slowed down. He continued: "This is the 'Yundan'. You can look carefully inside the furnace. The heat is very important..."
Lin Yi was no stranger to alchemy and weapon refining, but because he had no time to specialize in it, his methods were shoddy!
It should be noted that when monks are refining elixirs, they rely solely on their powerful spiritual consciousness to control many methods and do not allow others to interfere with them. Old Man Baicao did not shy away from suspicion, which was quite surprising. Thinking of his sincerity and grateful for his kindness, Lin nodded and thanked him, and quickly looked into the furnace -
The scorching heat in the furnace can melt gold and silver, and the blazing fire, controlled by divine consciousness and controlled by formations, only slowly turns the herbs into a boiling slurry. It can be seen that the heat at this time is just right.
While accumulating the elixir, the old man Baicao showed various techniques and said: "There are three methods of elixir cultivation in our generation, namely Tianyuan, Earthly Yuan, and Human Yuan. Taking emptiness as the sect, refining Qi to enter the Tao, and cultivating Yin and Yang Qing, this is the Tianyuan elixir method. The dual cultivation of human nature and life is the method of human yuan elixir; and the method of outer elixir yellow and white refers to the method of burning fire to refine elixirs, which is the method of earth yuan elixir. Obtain the Tao Fruit..."
At this time, in the alchemy furnace, after removing the remaining essence, the medicinal slurry was as white as jade.
While talking to Lin Yifen, Old Man Baicao opened the furnace lid again and put in a high-grade spiritual stone. Four tiny fire dragons suddenly flew out of the furnace wall, and they were immediately tempered into a ball of condensed spiritual energy, which suddenly merged with the medicine slurry.
As Old Man Baicao played out another series of magic formulas, the medicine slurry was transformed from one to seven, and the elixir shape gradually formed. The fire dragons on the surrounding furnace walls refused to stop, and rolled up wisps of tiny whirlwinds towards the seven elixir bodies.
"This is a sacrificial elixir..." Old Man Baicao continued to use his spells, and various restrictions flew into the furnace. I saw seven crystal-white elixir bodies spinning rapidly, gradually becoming rounder...
"Haha! A small elixir is made by condensing the essence of heaven and earth through hundreds of refinements. It transforms chaos into a unity, contains yin and yang and the five elements. It is endowed with thousands of vitalities and has infinite creation! This is the same as the result of a monk refining qi and building a foundation. The elixirs are so similar. From this we can see how wonderful it is that the elixirs of heaven, earth, and humans have returned to their ancestors..."
Such kind of teaching by words and deeds is really rare! Lin Yi listened carefully and understood with concentration. Hearing what Old Baicao said, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "What happens when the golden elixir transforms into an infant? Sir, can you give me some advice..."

ps: Staying up late is not difficult, but what is difficult is staying up late every day, which seems to have no end. The feeling of it is hard to explain to outsiders! Thanks to the friends who have been with Wuxian so far! In fact, reading the serialized article is quite painful, just like this every day, it is not only ridiculous, but also has a touch of helplessness. So, bullshit is everywhere :)!
