True Yuan emerged, Lin Tian's hand was placed on the "forging mouth" of the black tripod, and for a moment, the True Yuan poured in along the built-in branches at the forging mouth.
"laugh!"
There was a muffled sound, white smoke erupted from the black cauldron, and then, a group of substantial flames emerged.
The flame was light yellow and rolled like a small wave of water.
"This is elixir fire. However, this elixir fire is meaningless. You still need to control the flame with your mind."
Lin Tian whispered.
The newly born elixir fire is just the true essence generated through the built-in structure of the black tripod, and has no elixir refining ability. This requires the alchemist to control and condense it to make the elixir fire truly stable. This step is the first difficult point in the process of forging the elixir. There are no special skills. It depends entirely on personal talent and countless practices in the later period to achieve proficiency.
Lin Tian concentrated on staring inside the black cauldron.
He was highly concentrated, looking at the newly born elixir fire in the cauldron. The true energy pouring out from his right hand began to become more frequent. He adjusted the speed of the influx bit by bit, so that the elixir fire in the black cauldron once Jumps several times and becomes more and more solid. This process took about half a quarter of time. After half a quarter of time, the elixir fire in the black cauldron suddenly became extremely quiet. Lin Tian looked at the flames inside at close range and could not feel it burning.
"good!"
A glint flashed in Lin Tian's eyes.
According to the records in the "Pharmacopoeia", the step of condensing the elixir fire is considered complete.
Taking a deep breath, he recalled in his mind the quantity and proportion of the various materials required for the Bigu elixir recipe, and the temperatures that the elixir fire must maintain at each stage. Then he opened the lid of the cauldron and placed a blood grass , thirty drops of morning dew and a large handful of grains were thrown into the cauldron, and then the lid of the cauldron was carefully buckled.
"open… "
"Chi!"
Lin Tianzheng was talking to himself and was about to start, when there was a sneer. The blood grass thrown into the cauldron was directly burnt black by the elixir fire, and many of the thirty drops of morning dew were directly vaporized by the hot elixir. Lin Tian was not upset about this and seemed very calm. He knew very well that Dan Dao was similar to Formation Dao, and it was impossible to achieve success in one step.
Shaking his head, Lin Tian began to forge the pill again.
Next, he failed thirteen times in a row, either burning the blood grass to ashes, or completely evaporating the morning dew, or refining the grain until it was scorched black and smelly. However, the thirteen failures were certainly not in vain. It's meaningless. Each of these thirteen failures allowed him to accumulate some experience in forging pills, and he finally touched the edge of success.
"continue."
Lin Tian said to himself.
The morning light was gradually falling, and Lin Tian held his breath and concentrated, once again placing the blood grass, morning dew and grains into the black cauldron.
"Buzz!"
The flames roared and enveloped all the medicinal materials in the blink of an eye.
Lin Tian stared closely at the cauldron, placed his right hand on the "forged mouth" of the black cauldron, flicked his fingers, and suddenly the power of fire emerged, causing the alchemy fire in the black cauldron to flicker slightly. When he was in the first heaven, he refined a fire crystal, and the true essence naturally contained the power of fire. After thirteen failures, Lin Tian discovered that the power of fire in his true essence could The alchemy fire becomes more condensed and better controlled, and the effect of alchemy is also better.
His expression was solemn, and his five fingers beat rhythmically. With every beat, the elixir fire would flicker. At this time, in the black cauldron, the alchemy fire was divided into several parts, and the temperature of each part was different. Under Lin Tian's control, he wrapped the blood grass, morning dew and grains respectively, and began to burn and refine the medicinal materials. of essence.
Controlling the temperature of every elixir fire in the cauldron was the second difficulty in the elixir forging process. After more than ten failures, Lin Tian finally relied on the "Five Dragon Divine Flash" engraving technique in the array control technique to achieve the goal. You can adjust the level of the elixir fire temperature in every place in the cauldron at will. Gradually, the blood grass burned, the grains melted, and the morning dew danced in the mid-air inside the cauldron.
"Condensation!"
Lin Tian softly uttered a word, and his expression became more solemn.
His five fingers beat more and more frequently, stimulating the elixir fire of different temperatures to cover the incinerated blood grass and melted grains. Then, a ball of elixir fire wrapped the morning dew, turning into a sea of hot dew waves, covering the incinerated blood grass. Grass and melted grains are wrapped in it. It was also at this time that Lin Tian's five fingers attached to the forging mouth stopped beating, and instead stimulated the fire essence, causing the elixir fire in the black cauldron to calm down and the temperature to be controlled at the same point.
You can see that inside the cauldron, the elixir fire is burning.
Some drops of sweat gradually appeared on Lin Tian's forehead, and his face was slightly pale. Obviously, the process of forging the elixir was very energy-consuming. Throughout the night, after more than ten attempts, he only rested once in the middle. At this moment, his true energy was almost It was almost bottoming out, and my energy and energy were extremely depleted. I felt like I was about to collapse.
Time flies by.
In the cauldron, several medicinal materials were fused together, churning and making a gurgling sound under the burning of the elixir fire.
"Buzz!"
The elixir is burning, sometimes extremely hot, sometimes as gentle as water.
Soon, a quarter of an hour passed, and several medicinal materials in the cauldron were completely fused together, turning into a light gray viscous substance the size of a baby's fist.
"last step."
A flash of light flashed in his eyes, Lin Tian took a deep breath, the real energy of his left hand beat, and he pressed it hard on his right hand. For a moment, the alchemy fire in the cauldron trembled, as if it turned into a sword of alchemy fire, and smashed the baby's fist in the center. The large and small pieces of light gray goo were cut open again and again, turning into small lumps about the size of a thumb cap.
The last step is to form the elixir.
This step was considered the last difficult point in the process of forging the elixir. Lin Tian's remaining energy and energy were highly concentrated, and the control of his true energy became more condensed and stable. Until about half an hour later, each and every one in the black cauldron The small ball became round, with a little light gray luster flashing, trembling in the elixir fire.
Lin Tian's eyes flashed and he stopped.
This is the instant Bigu Pill!
With a shake of his left hand, he opened the lid of the cauldron and took out the dozens of Bigu Pills inside with a wave of his hand.
The Bigu Pill had just been taken out from the cauldron, and it was still slightly warm. Lin Tian picked up one and put it in his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it. After a while, he nodded involuntarily. The effect of the Bigu Pills he refined for the first time was beyond his imagination, and the quality was much better than the Bigu Pills he already had in his stone ring.
"good."
Lin Tian said to himself.
To be honest, he was very happy to have reached this level overnight.
The sky gradually became brighter, Lin Tian put away the refined Bigu Pill, put away the black cauldron, walked out from behind the ruined hall, and returned to the front. After a night of forging elixirs, his energy was severely depleted. He sat cross-legged in front of the temple and practiced the Four Pole Sutra facing the rising sun. After a quarter of an hour, he stopped and returned to the residual hall to rest and regain his energy.
In a blink of an eye, night falls again.
At this time, Lin Tian woke up, tidied up, and came to the back of the residual hall again to continue his alchemy practice.
Forging elixirs and refining medicine is an extremely rigorous process. Do not allow others to interfere, otherwise the alchemy will most likely fail. Therefore, when practicing alchemy, Lin Tian often chooses to do it late at night. In the middle of the night, he does not have to If you are worried about anyone disturbing you, you can devote yourself wholeheartedly to the practice of alchemy.
Taking out the black cauldron and the medicinal materials, Lin Tian took a deep breath and went straight into the alchemy.
In the next ten days, Lin Tian took three hours to rest during the day, three hours to practice the Four Extremes Sutra and condense his spiritual consciousness. In the evening, he went to the Remnant Hall and practiced the forging of pills according to the pill recipes recorded in the "Pharmacopoeia". . In ten days, he went to the True Treasure Palace several times to exchange for various materials, and successively refined the True Essence Pill, Zhixue Powder and Ningshen Pill.
Of course, these are all first-grade treasure elixirs.
Until another day passed, Lin Tian tried to refine the second-grade treasure pill. It took three days and he finally succeeded.
After more than ten days of alchemy practice, Lin Tian found that the true energy in his body had become much more condensed and thicker, and his energy and spirit had also become much stronger, and even his cultivation level had improved. This made Lin Tianwei realize that no matter which path he took, it would promote his practice.
In the sky, the full moon hangs high, casting a silver glow all over the sky.
"Now, I have barely reached the level of a second-grade alchemist."
Lin Tian said to himself.
It has to be said that the reason why he was able to reach the level of a second-grade alchemist so quickly is because he has a strong cultivation base and also has the art of array control. The practice of array control is somewhat consistent with the alchemy method to a certain extent. , Therefore, the starting point of his alchemy practice is more than one level higher than that of ordinary people. If an ordinary person wants to reach the second-level alchemist from ordinary level, it will not take more than three to five years, which is basically impossible. .
Lin Tian put away the black cauldron medicinal materials, closed his eyes, and began to look at the secret chapter of the Pharmacopoeia.
One of the reasons why he chose to practice alchemy at the same time was because he was following the mysterious techniques in the Pharmacopoeia.
"The Flame Seal, the Burning Heart Seal, and the Fire Refining Seal."
Lin Tian swept all the way, with a little light flashing in his eyes from time to time.
Previously, with the help of the Divine Sword, he had already mastered the Fire Seal. At this time, he began to understand other secret techniques.
In this way, in the blink of an eye, another two days passed.
In the early morning of this day, Lin Tian vomited in front of the rising sun and was about to take a rest. Bai Qiu ran up from the bottom of the mountain: "Hey, Wuji Immortal Sect will have an honorary alchemist and elder publicly refining alchemy today. Do you want to go and have a look?" ?”
"Honorary alchemist? Publicly refining alchemy?"
Lin Tian was stunned.
Bai Qiu said: "Each sect of the ten major sects has an honorary alchemist. They are invited from some alchemist families. Naturally, the Wuji Sect also has them. Every year, these alchemists are invited to publicly make alchemy once to increase the knowledge of the disciples in the sect."
"Is there a family of alchemists in the second heaven realm?"
Lin Tian was stunned.
He hadn't paid much attention to this before, but when he heard it now, he was a little curious.
"Of course there is. The most powerful family of alchemists in this realm has a status that is comparable to the top ten sects, or even stronger." Bai Qiu said: "These families of alchemists not only know how to forge pills and refine medicines, He has also inherited many secret techniques of attack on the alchemy path, and his strength and wealth are astonishing."
