Chapter 283: Refining the Foundation-Building Pill, the Taboos (Please Subscribe)

It was the second day since returning from the Zhuguo Secret Realm.

Li Qing visited several old friends again and found that most of them had moved away, and two of them died after failing to reach the foundation-building stage.

The few remaining ones seemed a little reserved when they saw him. It was obvious that there was a sad and thick barrier between a foundation-building cultivator and a Qi-training cultivator.

Li Qing left some gifts for them and returned to Liu He's residence.

Li Yu also returned from his trip, and the two brothers did not bother Liu He. They ate some spiritual food in the yard and then rested.

The next morning, the morning light was dim.

Liu He came and knocked on Li Qing's door: "Senior, Master asked me to invite you. He said that he was preparing to refine the foundation-building pill."

Li Qing packed up and went to the pill room with him.

At this time, in addition to Liu He's disciples, there were four Qi-training peak cultivators waiting outside.

Seeing Li Qing, everyone hurriedly saluted, obviously having found out his identity.

Li Qing nodded slightly and stepped into the alchemy room first, followed by the others.

"Daoyou are here? Please sit down!" Liu He called Li Qing and sat on the cushion beside the alchemy furnace.

As for the others, they had to stand.

Liu He looked up and said to the four people: "Have you brought all the materials? Present them!"

A tall man among the four people quickly took out a jade box: "Senior, there is a Xuanyang ginseng in it."

The beautiful middle-aged woman next to him quickly followed: "I will give you a Yin Lingzhi and some other auxiliary medicines."

The other two also presented the rest of the alchemy materials.

Liu He ordered his disciples to take the spiritual materials, and after carefully checking them, he handed them over: "Master, confirm that they are correct!"

Liu He counted them one by one, and showed them to Li Qing: "Daoyou, what do you think of the quality of these spiritual materials?"

Li Qing swept his spiritual sense and skipped over many spiritual materials, only taking the Xuanyang ginseng to look at it: "It's a treasure, but it's a pity. It can be ranked among the kings of medicine in just two or three years."

Liu He sneered: "If it really becomes the king of medicine, it will inevitably cause fluctuations in spiritual energy, and they may not be able to take it or keep it!"

The so-called king of medicine has no fixed grade. It is a title for a spiritual medicine that breaks through the shackles of innateness and achieves a higher grade.

Like this Xuanyang ginseng, it is originally a second-grade middle-grade spiritual medicine, but if it becomes the king of medicine, the second-grade upper grade is not a problem, and there is even a possibility of the third-grade lower grade.

After checking the spiritual medicines brought by several people, Liu He looked at the four people with a solemn expression.

"It is not easy to refine the foundation-building pill. In addition to the main materials you prepared, there are many second-level spiritual materials. In addition to the reward for asking me to refine the pill, you need to make up 9,700 low-grade spiritual stones." The four people were well prepared and handed over the prepared spiritual stones. Liu He nodded and pointed at the strong man and said, "Thanks to this Xuanyang ginseng, if there is good luck in this alchemy, five foundation-building pills can be produced. But it is also possible that the furnace will explode and no pill will be left." "If there is a successful pill, he will be the first to choose, the female cultivator will be the second, and you and you will be the third and fourth, is that okay?" The four people hurriedly said, "No problem. We have already discussed it, and it is up to the senior to decide." Liu He nodded and flicked his sleeves: "In this case, you all go out! The refining of the foundation-building pill involves secrets, which is not something you can see." "This..." The two people at the back were a little reluctant. Liu He sneered, "Are you afraid that I will embezzle your pills?"

So the four of them were dragged out by Liu He and other disciples in disgrace.

Liu He was the only one left in the alchemy room with Li Qing and Liu He.

Liu He's true essence surged, and he opened the forbidden magic circle to block others from peeping, and then he took out a large pile of spiritual materials from the storage bag.

Li Qing compared the pill recipe given to him by the mysterious visitor Gu Changsheng and found that the overlap rate of spiritual materials was about 70%.

Among the top five main medicines, Xuanyang Ginseng, Yin Lingzhi, and Xuanshui Essence were repeated.

Li Qing hesitated and said, "Brother Dao, is it okay for you to show me the recipe?"

Liu He smiled and shook his head: "For the foundation-building pill, the recipe is secondary, the method of refining the pill is the key."

"With your second-level middle-grade alchemy attainment, you are qualified to access the recipe of the foundation-building pill, but you just don't have the channel."

"As for the refining method, I will use a special method to cover it up. Just take a look and have an impression in your mind."

Li Qing nodded slightly: "Then I will wait and see."

Last time he asked Liu He to refine the pill, just like the four people just now, he could only wait outside. Today is the first time he has observed the refining of the foundation-building pill.

Most of the spiritual materials used for refining the pill have been prepared, but there are a few that need to be soaked in spiritual water on the spot.

Liu He is an alchemist with wood and fire spiritual roots. He does not have water spiritual roots and does not have spiritual water, so he uses ordinary spiritual water exchanged with others.

Seeing that the Xuanyang ginseng needed to be soaked, Li Qing felt a little regretful: "Brother Dao, I have a lamp of Ganlin here, why don't you replace it?"

Liu He raised his eyes: "The spiritual stones I collected here do not include the cost of Ganlin. It is estimated that it will not work if I ask them to replenish the spiritual stones."

Li Qing smiled and said: "Just treat it as my reward for watching you make the elixir."

Liu He was not polite, took the lamp of Ganlin, and soaked the Xuanyang ginseng in it.

After such preparations, he threw his own spiritual fire into the furnace and began to preheat.

Li Qing stared intently, watching him throw the Xuanyang ginseng and Yin Lingzhi into the furnace first.

With a "clang", the furnace mouth closed tightly, and Liu He pinched a set of hand gestures, but it was not a spell, but to trigger the restrictions arranged in the furnace in advance.

Li Qing couldn't help laughing: "This first step involves related secrets?"

Liu He nodded helplessly: "There is a restriction inside, involving the transformation of yin and yang of drugs, which is forbidden to be spread outside by Xuan Palace."

Li Qing said "Oh", indicating that he understood: the first step, the transformation of yin and yang.

Liu He pursed his lips and smiled, knowing that he understood his hint.

Soon, the spiritual fire in the furnace changed from strong to warm, and then from warm to strong, changing nine times repeatedly.

Li Qing's spiritual sense firmly locked the furnace. Although he did not invade it to face the restriction directly, he also remembered the change of the fire in his heart.

Soon, Liu He slapped the furnace, and the top cover flew up. The two main medicines in it had turned into a handful of light yellow powder.

The faint ginseng fragrance drifted out from it, making people feel the breath agitated when they smelled it.

Liu He whispered: "This Xuanyang ginseng is of too high quality, covering up the medicinal properties of Yin Lingzhi, and it needs to be blended."

As he said, he took out an unknown spiritual medicine powder from the storage bag and threw it in to mix with the ginseng and ganoderma powder.

Li Qing didn't examine the powder carefully, but only secretly noted the second step: yin and yang harmony.

Liu He smiled, and slowly poured the essence of Xuanshui into it, along with a dozen spiritual materials with different effects, and put them into the furnace together.

The essence of Xuanshui wrapped all the spiritual materials, forming a special shape, suspended under the ginseng and zhi powder.

With a "clang", the top cover closed again, and some kind of restriction in the furnace slowly operated.

Liu He then played a pill formula, and began to control various restrictions to refine the spiritual materials.
