Chapter 340 Chapter 34: Alchemy Is Heart-Wrenching, and the Place Is Crowded with People (4K)

Chapter 340 Chapter 340 Alchemy is heartbreaking, and the door is crowded with people (4K)

After filtering the bamboo dew with golden oak charcoal, the spiritual materials for refining "Bamboo Heart Pill" are ready.

Li Qing sent a communication talisman, and all the family alchemists who stayed in Qinghe Valley came to listen.

Since they noticed the undercurrent, some of the Li family members who stayed in Qinghe Valley were panicked.

Fortunately, Li Qing, the foundation-building ancestor, is still there, and his closest niece Li Wei is also there, so everyone is a little relieved.

Hearing that Li Qing was going to start refining the pill, in addition to the family alchemists, many family members came to join in the fun, as if seeing him in person would make them much safer.

Li Qing also let them do what they wanted, so a large group of people crowded in front of the palace, temple and cave, making a lot of noise.

"Silence!" He flicked his fingers slightly, and his true energy hit the golden bell in front of the door.

"Dang--" The long bell sound echoed over the Qinghe Valley, shocking everyone present, and finally quieted down.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh." Li Qing bowed slightly to Fan Shuyun.

Fan Shuyun shook his head: "This is human nature. My Fan family is also like this. How could we laugh at you?"

Li Qing nodded slightly and looked at the clan members who came forward to watch the excitement: "My attainments in alchemy have improved recently, and I can refine second-level top-grade elixirs."

"Congratulations to the ancestor!" The clan leader Li Wei quickly led the cheers.

The clan members present also bowed down together: "Congratulations to the ancestor!"

When the whole clan was in a state of uncertainty, Li Qing's promotion to a second-level top-grade alchemist was undoubtedly a reassurance to everyone.

To put it bluntly, even if Xuefeng Lake changed and Xuan Palace was willing to rescue a group of people ashore, Li Qing, a second-level top-grade alchemist, would definitely be among the best.

With the water tower, the chances of the Li family members being rescued would be a little higher.

Seeing that he temporarily calmed people's hearts with just a few words, Fan Shuyun couldn't help but envy: "Daoyou has great prestige in the clan!"

Li Qing just smiled and said nothing: his prestige was not easily obtained, but was built on the "foundation building" of Asun, Atao and Li Yu.

Seeing that the situation had calmed down, he slightly adjusted his breath and began to refine the elixir.

This Bamboo Heart Pill, ranked as the second-grade top grade, was entrusted to him by Fan Shuyun after Li Qing's foundation building banquet.

This elixir is quite peculiar. It requires a cultivator who specializes in wood-based true essence to use wood to generate fire in order to successfully refine it.

Looking at the Great Zhou Kingdom, all alchemists are mainly based on fire spirit roots. Even if they have wood spirit roots, they are used to assist the practice of fire spirit roots.

Those who only cultivate wood spirit roots basically go to practice spiritual plant masters.

Although Li Qing's Qingmu Zhenyuan has integrated elements such as spiritual water, Nirvana fire, and meditation, it is based on Qingmu, and the rest is used, which does not affect its essence.

He made an invitation to Fan Shuyun after deducing it in advance.

He saw his left palm stretched forward, and the Qingmu Dharma light shone in the palm, condensing into a small mortar, and then put the Xuanyou bamboo leaves and Shenfei bamboo rice into it.

He pinched his right hand again, and the Qingmu Zhenyuan turned into a pestle, pounding the bamboo leaves and bamboo rice in the mortar into powder.

The color of Xuanyou bamboo leaves is dark blue, and the luster of Shenfei bamboo rice is purple gold. The two are mixed together, reflecting the sunlight, showing a mysterious black gold color.

A faint bamboo fragrance emanated from the mortar, which made people tremble.

Li Qing looked at the dazed tribesmen and couldn't help coughing lightly: "Are you still not awake?!"

Li Yi and others came back to their senses, and hurriedly held their breath and concentrated, fearing that they would be affected by the bamboo fragrance again.

"The quality of this Xuanyou bamboo leaf, fellow Daoist, seems to be quite good." Li Qing praised.

Fan Shuyun nodded: "It took a lot of effort and a lot of favors to get it from a fellow Daoist in Dale Country."

Li Qing smiled and said: "I think so. The only place in our Great Zhou that is suitable for growing this is Muhunyuan. But there are wronged souls there, which is easy to pollute various spiritual plants..."

During the chat, the two main medicines in the mortar have been processed.

Li Qing took out the alchemy furnace, turned the mortar and pestle into pure Qingmu Zhenyuan, and put the handful of powder in it.

He raised his hand and pointed again, and nine kinds of first-level bamboo dew turned into clear water lotus, which fell into the furnace slowly, carrying the main medicine powder.

As for the remaining nine kinds of first-level bamboo rice, they were piled into three millet mountains beside the furnace in groups of three, which looked very substantial.

"Fellow Daoist, I am going to officially start refining the elixir, and I will not be in the mood to greet you later." He bowed to Fan Shuyun first.

Fan Shuyun hurriedly said, "I saved it! I'll leave everything to you, Taoist friend."

Li Qing chuckled, and the Qingmu Zhenyuan rolled up a mountain of rice and fell to the bottom of the furnace.

He then saw him running the matching refining formula, and the Qingmu Zhenyuan vibrated slightly, and soon a faint flame was born.

This fire is not Nirvana fire, nor is it any other spiritual fire, but the "wood fire" naturally generated by the Qingmu Zhenyuan.

The wood fire is very weak, flickering on the tip of the rice mountain, and it took a long time to ignite a spark.

The spark flickered, but fortunately, the Qingmu Zhenyuan ignited it at all costs, and finally a bright flame emerged.

The pile of bamboo rice at the bottom of the furnace began to emit a small flame, slowly igniting the bamboo rice grains at the top.

But soon, the flame dimmed, and only the green smoke from the rice mountain remained in the furnace, which contained the essence of three kinds of bamboo rice.

The green smoke rose up, and under the guidance of Li Qing's formula, it merged into the water lotus above.

The bamboo dew that condensed into water lotus began to boil without fire, making a "gurgling" sound and began to emit colorful steam, soaking the main medicine in the middle.

During this period, Li Qing also put in the second-level medium-grade and low-grade spiritual materials such as Qingxin bitter bamboo shoots and Liquan purple bamboo juice in turn.

A refreshing bamboo fragrance emanated from the furnace without any cover, and soon the entire palace cave was stained with a faint fragrance.

Fan Shuyun couldn't help but feel a little worried and hesitated.

In the past, the alchemy furnace was closed tightly to lock the essence in the furnace for easy medicine mixing. Even if there were some impurities, they were directly burned to ashes by the alchemy fire.

It was a bit strange for Li Qing to let the essence of the spiritual plants fly out like this.

Li Qing didn't care, and let the green smoke from the burning bamboo rice boil the bamboo dew.

In this way, one day and one night passed. The first pile of three kinds of bamboo rice was finally burned out, and there was not even a trace of ash.

However, one-third of the bamboo dew was missing, and it was stained with a layer of gloom by the bamboo smoke.

The main powder in the middle of the water lotus was also slightly wet and looked dirty.

Fan Shuyun was terrified, fearing that he would accidentally ruin the spiritual material that she had finally gathered.

But she only had one spiritual material, and she couldn't give Li Qing a second one to practice with.

Based on the principle of trusting people when employing them, Fan Shuyun could only hold her nose and watch him perform.

Li Qing did not hesitate, and waved his hand again, and the second rice mountain made of three kinds of bamboo rice fell to the bottom of the furnace again.

Li Qing once again used the Qingmu Zhenyuan to derive the "wood fire" and ignited the bamboo rice.

This time, it was no longer green smoke that rose up, but a faint white smoke.

The white smoke also merged into the bamboo dew water lotus under the guidance of Li Qing's magic formula.

But this time, the water lotus did not boil again, but condensed into a thin layer of ice on the surface.

The thin ice seemed to be quite cold, condensing the water vapor in the entire palace cave.

Then the bamboo fragrance spirit essence that had been dispersed before, rolled up the water vapor suspended in the air, poured into the furnace, and gathered near the ice lotus.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

The water vapor turned into bamboo leaves, flying around the ice lotus, and then swept the pure spiritual energy, repeatedly soaking the main powder, and making it wet into mud.

Fan Shuyun felt that she couldn't breathe, and she didn't care to watch Li Qing making the elixir. She closed her eyes and adjusted her true energy, fearing that she would go crazy if she was not careful.

Li Qing couldn't help laughing in his heart when he saw her performance, but he was always carefully controlling the fire.

Until another day and night passed, the second pile of bamboo rice was completely burned out.

He pointed to the side of the furnace without hesitation, and the third pile of bamboo rice fell to the bottom of the furnace again.

So black smoke rose again in the furnace and also merged into the ice lotus.

Soon, the thin ice melted, and the water lotus turned into bamboo dew was flowing, and there was a faint flash of nine-color spiritual light.

The water vapor that was gathered by the white smoke ice lotus before dissipated again. But this time, it was colorless and tasteless, and there was no bamboo fragrance.

In the alchemy furnace, the black smoke slowly penetrated the bamboo dew into the bamboo dew water lotus, gradually dyeing it black.

And the magical thing is that the wet medicinal mud in the middle gradually transformed from black gold to colorless and transparent.

"Gululu..."

The blackened water lotus began to boil violently, rising colorful black water mist, filling the alchemy furnace.

Li Qing closed his eyes slightly, his nostrils moved, and carefully identified the rapidly changing medicinal properties.

This time, he did not wait for the bamboo rice mountain to burn out, but quickly circulated the green wood true essence, fell into the furnace and rubbed violently, igniting a blazing "wood fire".

With a roar, the furnace triggered an explosion.

The remaining bamboo rice was all ignited in an instant, and the black smoke filled the entire alchemy furnace before it merged into the water lotus.

The already violently burning wood fire ignited the black smoke again. For a moment, the flames rose and came out of the furnace directly, splashing sparks.

Fan Shuyun was frightened and silently prayed that Li Qing would successfully complete this furnace of elixir.

Finally, the flames in the furnace dissipated, and the third pile of rice disappeared.

The water lotus had become pitch black and emitted a kind of unpleasant stench.

The main medicine powder held in its arms had turned into a ball of crystal clear medicine mud.

Li Qing saw this and secretly sensed it. He was relieved to find that he had not messed up.

He took out a jade plate and pointed his hand. The black water lotus flew out of the furnace and slowly fell on it, condensing without dispersing.

"This is the remaining medicine residue from this elixir refining. It can be used to refine poison." He pushed the jade plate towards Fan Shuyun.

Fan Shuyun smiled stiffly: "No need. This is the reward for alchemy, and I give it to you."

In fact, she had already paid the reward for alchemy in advance after the last foundation-building banquet.

She just didn't want this sewage lotus for other reasons.

Li Qing didn't force it. He smiled and sealed the jade plate with a jade box and put it in the storage bag. Then he started the last step of this alchemy.

"Fellow Daoist, give me a drop of blood essence!"

Fan Shuyun hesitated for a moment. After all, there are too many things that can be done with blood essence.

But she had invested too much and had no way out. So she gritted her teeth, cut her fingertips, and forced out a drop of blood essence.

The blood essence of a cultivator is closely related to his practice.

Fan Shuyun's blood essence is bright red, but it also flashes with a purple halo, full of vitality.

Li Qing took out the last main ingredient, Moon-gazing Bamboo Tears: "This bamboo tear smells quite fresh, could it be the one you cultivated yourself?"

Fan Shuyun saw that he still had the heart to chat, which showed that he had a good grasp of it, so he was slightly relieved: "Well, thanks to Brother Sang."

"The one I prepared originally was much older, so its quality is much worse than the bamboo tears picked from the new bamboo."

Li Qing smiled and said, "It seems that what Brother Sang said is true. You are indeed very accomplished in cultivating spiritual bamboo."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and Fan Shuyun's blood dripped into the bamboo tears of Wangyue.

The red blood dyed the bright bamboo tears into a light pink.

Li Qing stared at this scene with his eyes like torches, until the two completely merged into one: "Success or failure depends on this one move!"

He shouted softly, and threw the pink bamboo tears into the furnace, landing accurately on top of the crystal medicine mud.

Then there was a loud "boom", and the bamboo tears and medicine mud exploded at the same time, turning into tiny spiritual essences, splashing in the furnace.

"How could this be!" Fan Shuyun cried out in shock, without any dignity of the foundation-building ancestor.

Li Qing waved his hand calmly: "It's okay, just watch me do it!"

Then he poured the Qingmu Zhenyuan into the alchemy furnace, turning it into a net to capture all the medicinal mud and liquid.

After all the medicinal mud was collected, Li Qing lightly snapped his fingers, and the Wood Fire ignited again.

This time, it did not ignite any spiritual materials, but rolled the medicinal mud into a ball, turned it into a pill, and slowly baked it.

"Hey, the weight of this pill seems to be a little more..."

He thought, and the pill instantly split into two, each rolled into a round shape: "This way, it's much better."

The Wood Fire baked the round medicinal mud into shape, and soon, two light green pills with a deep red halo floated in the furnace.

Until the pills were hot enough, Li Qing dispersed the Qingmu Zhenyuan, and the Wood Fire ran out of firewood and dissipated.

"Daoyou, I have lived up to your trust and have refined this 'Bamboo Heart Pill'!"

He put two pills in a jade bottle and presented them to Fan Shuyun next to him.

Fan Shuyun still couldn't believe it: "It's... done?!"

Li Qing nodded seriously: "Yes, the Bamboo Heart Pill is refined, a total of two!"

Fan Shuyun took the pills and after a check, she was overjoyed: "Daoyou's attainments in alchemy are really extraordinary!"

She couldn't wait to get up and bowed solemnly to Li Qing: "I will go back to retreat. When I come out of retreat, I will come to thank you again!"

As she said, she turned into a bamboo shadow and left Qinghe Valley, flying towards Zhuxin Island.

"This senior, his personality is really impetuous!" Li Yi couldn't help but sigh.

Li Qing stared at the direction of Zhuxin Island in a trance: "Next time we meet, this fellow Taoist may have entered the late stage of foundation building."

Sure enough, three days later, the Fan family of Zhuxin Island announced that the ancestor Fan Shuyun successfully advanced to the seventh level of foundation building and officially became a late stage cultivator of foundation building.

Some families who knew that she had been to Qinghe Valley before her breakthrough could not help but cast their eyes over.

For a time, Qinghe Valley was crowded with people, and cultivators who came to ask for pills were endless.
