Chapter 835 Five Turns of Essence Pill (Part 1)

Having said that, it took two years to absorb the dozens of fire types needed to refine the Marrow Pill. .

Yang Chen had always been in crisis of spiritual consciousness before, so he had no fire, and Yang Chen did not absorb it. Based on his mortal experience, the absorption of certain kinds of fire can easily lead to an increase in spiritual consciousness, so he must be on guard against it.

Now that the crisis in his consciousness has been lifted, he no longer has any worries. In addition to the need for elixir refining, Yang Chen naturally has to absorb the fire first.

Fortunately, the amount of fire required by Yumui Dan is large, but the level requirement is not very high. The highest level is only the third level in the spiritual world. This is why even low-level alchemists can challenge the Yumui Dan. Third-grade spiritual fire is not difficult for Yang Chen.

The process is still the same, first absorb it into the Yunling Furnace, and then let Yang Chen absorb it bit by bit into the Yin Yang Burning Sky Fire.

At the beginning, Yang Chen did not intend to integrate the Yin Yang Burning Sky Fire. He just discovered when studying the elixir formula that the alchemist's familiarity with the fire was closely related to the success rate of alchemy. In order to pursue the limit, Yang Chen naturally wanted to achieve the ultimate goal. good. As for getting familiar with fire, there is no better way for Yang Chen to become familiar with it than to merge into the Yin Yang Burning Sky Fire.

This period of time is regarded as Yang Chen's early preparation, so he has not completely retreated. When absorbing the fire, it does not prevent Yang Chen from communicating with the master of the palace. Fortunately, there were not many affairs in Chunyang Palace that required Yang Chen's intervention. Relatively speaking, Yang Chen only paid a little attention and didn't care much.

People with the same surname often appear in the sect, and Yang Chen looks like an idler. However, almost all the people who appeared here were monks, and everyone understood that this should be a process of Yang Chen's mental cultivation before he actually started refining.

There are many ways to achieve inner peace. Many people like to burn incense and bathe, while others like to play the piano and write. Yang Chen's method seemed a little different, but it was just to maintain the activities of an ordinary person, so it was really not surprising.

However, since Yang Chen announced that he would go into seclusion to refine alchemy, even if outsiders saw Yang Chen from a distance, they would not appear in front of him to disturb him. This is a kind of courtesy, but also a kind of respect. The masters of the major sects may be dismissive, but those who have just ascended may not dare to disturb. Everyone is waiting to see what surprise Yang Chen can give everyone in the end.

Finally, after Yang Chen absorbed the fire and became familiar with it, his mood finally adjusted to its best. After reporting it to the head of the palace, Yang Chen officially closed the Dragon Palace and began a life of seclusion, isolating outsiders.

Yang Chen had already processed more than 900 medicinal materials and placed them in convenient locations. Of course, Yang Chen only dealt with it initially and did not proceed in depth. Everything must be done during refining to be perfect.

The refining process has been simulated many times in Yang Chen's mind, but Yang Chen has never practiced it once. There are some things that you must think through from beginning to end before you can do it, especially for complex pills like the Yumui Pill.

In his previous life, Yang Chen had never come into contact with anything of this level, and Yang Chen never expected that he would be able to succeed in one go. You know, even if you include the previous life, the highest level of alchemist Yang Chen has ever reached is only the sixth level. That was when he was Daluo Jinxian. Now his cultivation is limited, and it is simply impossible to succeed in one go.

The truth was exactly as Yang Chen expected. When he added the 341st medicinal material, he failed to control the heat properly, and the entire medicinal material in the alchemy furnace instantly turned into a ball of burnt black medicine residue.

Failure was failure, but Yang Chen was not discouraged. Looking around the world, which alchemist dares to say that he succeeded in refining the Marrow Pill for the first time? Even Taishang Laojun cannot successfully refine elixirs every time. He also reaches the peak step by step from failure.

Some people say failure is the best teacher, and it seems true. The second time Yang Chen failed when he added the 477th kind of medicinal materials, there was another ball of black medicinal residue.

The conflict between the medicinal materials is the most difficult to reconcile. Yang Chen was able to insist on more than 400 medicinal materials in the first two refinings before making mistakes, which is already an incredible achievement. This is also due to the efficacy of the massive medicinal residues in the medicinal gourd.

The third time, on the contrary, there was some regression. When Four Hundred Kinds was in its early years, it had already failed. After three consecutive failures, Yang Chen stopped and began to think carefully.

After all, what was recorded in the elixir formula was not as detailed as how to refine each step, so Yang Chen could only deduce bit by bit based on the pharmacology he knew. After three failures, Yang Chen discovered that the problem was not behind, but in front.

After Yang Chen combined the practical reasoning step by step in his mind, he quickly found the reason. A certain main medicine seems to be a bit lacking in technique when processed. Later medicinal materials are added one by one. When the accumulation is almost the same, the medicinal effects will conflict, leading to failure.

No matter which sect's elixir recipe contains such a small problem, it is the essence of refining the marrow elixir. This kind of experience will never be recorded openly no matter which sect it is placed in. It is definitely the secret to passing it on to sons but not to daughters-in-law.

After discovering such a little trick, Yang Chen started refining again, and it was very good. The fourth time he persisted to 526 kinds, the fifth time he reached 587 kinds, and the sixth time he persisted to six One hundred and three kinds.

After three more failures, Yang Chen began to sum up his experiences and lessons. After thinking for a while, he discovered a small flaw that he had missed earlier.

After continuing to go through it in his mind from the beginning, Yang Chen then started refining. After refining it, I don’t know how many times. Every three times he failed, Yang Chen would carefully sum up his experience and lessons. He didn't know how many times he failed, but Yang Chen finally failed after adding 900 kinds of medicinal materials.

After repeated attempts, Yang Chen finally found the trick, and finally felt confident for the first time. Yang Chen also knew what to do with the remaining medicinal materials.

After thinking about it carefully in his mind, Yang Chen began to sit cross-legged and practice. After practicing all the techniques and taking care of all the magic weapons, Yang Chen felt that his mental state was at its best and started refining it again.

This time, I no longer had the jerky feeling before, and I was full of confidence. Yang Chen's every step was extremely clear. All the medicinal materials were added at the right time, the heat of the treatment was just right, and the method of refining the elixir was clean and neat. After the last medicinal material was added, everything in the elixir furnace was very normal. Under Yang Chen's careful care, after ninety-nine and eighty days, a furnace of elixirs was finally released. (To be continued.)
