Mortals cultivating immortality and the fate of immortal jade

Refining alchemy is a hard work.

The requirements for cultivators are quite high, not only must they be careful, tenacious, and patient, but they must also be able to control spiritual power freely.

The higher the grade of the elixir, the higher the requirements for heat. If the strength of the flame cannot be strictly controlled, a furnace of elixirs will easily become useless.

A furnace of high-grade elixirs is scrapped, which is equivalent to a lot of spiritual stones being reduced to nothing.

In addition, one must know the medicinal effects of each spiritual herb thoroughly and know the ins and outs of the alchemy process.

All of this was too complicated and profound for Lin Mu.

The Ice Fairy had already started refining the Foundation Building Pill and had no free time to teach Lin Mu. She simply dropped a dozen jade slips and let Lin Mu look at them by himself.

Some of these jade slips are the summaries of the sect's senior masters, and some are the Ice Fairy's own alchemy experience.

The contents in these jade slips are all of high quality. They are each person's unique secret. Even if they have spiritual stones, they are difficult to buy.

Lin Mu was so hungry that, except for the occasional break, he spent all his time in the alchemy room every day, painstakingly studying the method of alchemy.

These jade slips are all suitable for alchemists in the golden elixir stage. They are too profound for Lin Mu. Lin Mu only has a partial understanding of many of the contents, or even completely confused. But for such a profound jade slip, as long as you understand a little bit about it, you can benefit a lot.

This alchemy jade slip puts forward many bold and feasible conjectures.

For example, regarding the method of refining alchemy, a senior in the sect put forward several wild conjectures.

Generally speaking, alchemists use fire to make elixirs. According to the different grades of the flame, elixirs of different grades are refined.

However, this senior suggested that water can be used to make elixirs.

This made Lin Mu feel incredible.

After reading it, Lin Mufang suddenly realized.

It turns out that there is not much difference between the water refining method and the fire refining method. Using fire to make elixirs is nothing more than using powerful firepower to turn the spiritual herbs and elixirs in the elixir furnace into liquid medicine. Under the control of spiritual power, the liquid medicine solidifies into elixirs, and the elixir is completely refined in one furnace.

The principles used in this water refining method are exactly the same as the fire refining method. The cultivator only needs to control the continuous flow of water in the alchemy furnace to turn the spiritual herbs and elixirs into liquid medicine, and then formulate the elixir under the stimulation of spiritual power.

However, compared with the fire refining method, the water refining method is too slow. For cultivators who have precious time, it should not be used too many times.

Moreover, depending on the elixir, the water used in the elixir furnace is also different. Like fire, there are different types and grades of water. For example, Nine Yang Heavy Water, Sunflower Water Essence, Samadhi Li Water, etc.

The higher the grade of water, the more effective the elixir will be.

It's just that high-grade water sources are harder to obtain than flames, and it's rare for an average cultivator to see them once in their lifetime.

Although the water refining method has many disadvantages compared to the fire refining method, it also has advantages that the fire refining method does not have.

For example, the elixir refined by the water refining method has mild medicinal properties, which is conducive to the refining and absorption by practitioners. Moreover, the medicinal effect of this elixir has a long history. Unlike the elixir refined by the fire refining method, it only needs to be absorbed within a certain period of time. Within a certain period of time, if it is not fully refined and absorbed, it will dissipate for no reason.

This will not happen with the elixirs refined by the water refining method. Most of the medicinal effects can be completely absorbed by the cultivator, and the utilization rate of spiritual herbs and elixirs is far higher than that of the fire refining method.

These two methods of alchemy have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Lin Mu was quite interested in this water refining method, but since he did not have any special source of water, the elixirs he refined were all ordinary.

If there is a chance in the future, Lin Mu would like to try this water refining method.

It took Lin Mu a full month to read all these jade slips.

Lin Mu didn't ask for a detailed explanation, but tried to write down whatever he found useful.

Lin Mu did not stupidly memorize some particularly advanced and difficult-to-remember content.

After obtaining the permission of the Ice Fairy, Lin Mu took out a few blank jade slips and copied the contents he found useful into the blank jade slips.

Because there was too much content, Lin Mu used five blank jade slips to completely copy the content he needed.

Copying jade slips also requires certain spiritual consciousness. Generally, practitioners who are at least in the foundation-building stage can copy jade slips. However, Lin Mu's spiritual consciousness is far superior to that of ordinary people, and his current spiritual consciousness cultivation level is not inferior to that of practitioners in the early stages of foundation building.

Copying jade slips was not a difficult task for Lin Mu.

But because there was too much copying, a lot of spiritual consciousness was consumed, and my mind was dizzy for three days in a row.

For a whole month, the Ice Fairy has been refining elixirs.

While Lin Mu was watching the jade slips and studying, he also tried hard to observe the Ice Fairy's alchemy techniques.

But after reading it, Lin Mufang felt how shallow he had been before.

The Ice Fairy's control over fire was infinitely better than his own, and Lin Mu was completely incomparable.

Lin Mu originally thought that he could control the intensity of the fire at will, and he did a pretty good job.

But when he saw the Ice Fairy's fire control skills, Lin Mu felt a little ashamed.

In order to better exert the effect of the elixir in the elixir, the Ice Fairy needs to constantly change the size of the flame. Sometimes, depending on the distribution of the elixir in the furnace, the Ice Fairy also adjusts the shape of the flame from time to time to make every place on the bottom of the furnace The size of the flame is just right.

today.

Lin Mu was still standing quietly by the alchemy furnace as usual, silently watching the Ice Fairy refining the elixir.

The Ice Fairy's face was expressionless, but the fire control skills she displayed immediately made Lin Mu feel amazing and astonished.

Because at the bottom of the furnace, the flame turned into a seven-leafed lotus flower, floating at the bottom of the furnace, and each petal was so lifelike that it was no different from a real lotus.

Seven-leaf fire lotus!

Lin Mu clearly remembered that in a jade slip specifically about fire control, it was mentioned that after fire control reaches a certain level, one can transform into flames. After practicing flame transformation to an advanced level, one can use seven Yehuolian.

Lin Mu couldn't believe that the Ice Fairy could actually reach the level of Seven-leaf Fire Lotus.

Even if you tell others, it is difficult for others to believe you.

Isn't it a joke that an elder of a sword cultivating sect can control fire to the level of a seven-leaf fire lotus?

But the fact happened before our eyes, the seven-leaf fire lotus was still burning quietly at the bottom of the furnace.

After the Ice Fairy used the Seven-leaf Fire Lotus, a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out of the furnace about an hour later.

An hour!

Lin Mu was amazed.

As a third-grade elixir, the refining process of the Foundation Establishment Pill is extremely complicated. Even at the level of the Ice Fairy, each refining process takes about three hours.

But after using the seven-leaf fire lotus, it took only an hour to successfully refine a batch of foundation-building pills.

With a slight move of her slender hand, the Ice Fairy opened the furnace lid lightly, and three Foundation Establishment Pills flew out from the furnace. The Ice Fairy took out three white vials without any fuss, and the three Foundation Establishment Pills landed on each of them. Three bottles.

Three? Lin Mu was dazzled for a while.

Is this refining the Foundation Establishment Pill? Lin Mu felt suspicious for a while.

Because of the rarity of the fire dragon grass, the Ice Fairy only puts a portion of the ingredients into the furnace each time she makes an elixir. This can reduce the chance of failure and prevent the furnace of elixirs from being scrapped and all the materials inside being reduced to nothing.

One piece of material is used to refine a foundation-building pill, and each refining process takes three hours.

But at this moment, it only took an hour for the Ice Fairy to refine three materials at once.

How could this not surprise Lin Mu.

Is the effect of Seven-leaf Fire Lotus really that good? Lin Mu suddenly felt longing for it.

The Ice Fairy used her flying sword to carve a few small words on each of the three white vials, and then threw them all to Lin Mu.

Lin Mu was immediately frightened and hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab the three white vials into his arms.

After taking it, he saw three white vials with the names of Lin Mu, Wei Sheng and Luo Yun respectively engraved on them.

These three foundation-building pills are for Lin Mu and the others!

Lin Mu clearly remembered that when preparing the materials, the three people's foundation-building pills used different proportions.

Luo Yun is a single spiritual root cultivator of the water system, and the amount of cold tobacco is four plants. Wei Sheng has a fire spiritual root and has a certain resistance to fire dragon grass. The amount of cold tobacco is only two plants, and Lin Mu is a five element spiritual root. Because the spiritual roots are too mild, the amount of cold tobacco used is no more, just three plants.

Three different proportions of materials were refined in the same furnace, and it only took an hour.

Lin Mu was so impressed by the Ice Fairy's alchemy skills.

Lin Mu just held the three vials in his hands. Inside was the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Foundation Establishment Pill that he had dreamed of.

As long as he can build the foundation, Lin Mu can go home to visit his parents.

If you don't want to return to the sect, with your cultivation in the foundation period, you can also become a city lord in the old Tang Dynasty, become a foreign affairs disciple of Qianyu Sword Sect, and establish a cultivating family that is vassal to Qianyu Sword Sect.

Lin Mu didn't plan in detail what would happen in the future. His goal was to build the foundation, and it had always been that way.

The Ice Fairy said calmly: "You must have learned a lot in the past two months. I also have an explanation for Senior Brother Luo Yan. These three Foundation Establishment Pills were specially refined by me. Their efficacy is better than ordinary Foundation Establishment Pills." The foundation pill is three points stronger. With the cultivation of the three of you, it is very possible to build the foundation in one go. This foundation pill must be taken at its peak. Only then can you successfully build the foundation in one fell swoop. Gen, you must be more prepared and don’t waste this Foundation Establishment Pill.”

This was the longest sentence Lin Mu had spoken since she met the Ice Fairy. Although her tone was cold, Lin Mu could feel the concern in it.

Lin Mu thanked her quickly: "Thank you, Sister Hanbing. I will live up to my high expectations and vow to succeed in building the foundation."

The Ice Fairy's expression returned to being cold, and she said calmly: "I have told you everything I can teach you. How much you can understand depends entirely on you. I just want to say that talent and the like are not too important. In the long journey of cultivation, In life, hard work is the most important thing. As long as you work hard, even if someone is much more talented than you, you can slowly catch up or even overtake him. Just go back and prepare to build your foundation."

These words touched Lin Mu's heart. It was through hard work that he had made rapid progress in cultivation, catching up with many talented disciples. Even Luo Yun, who was hailed as a once-in-a-century genius, was now on an equal footing with Lin Mu, not much more.

Lin Mu bowed deeply to the Ice Fairy before slowly leaving the alchemy room.

Although the Ice Fairy had never taught Lin Mu how to practice, she was Lin Mu's first master in alchemy.

It was she who truly brought Lin Mu into the profound and profound palace of alchemy.

Lin Mu walked out of the Ice Fairy's courtyard, put three small white bottles into storage bags, and used the "Wind Control Technique" to fly towards the West Peak.
