One thought is eternal

Pursuing the Ultimate

Humming a ditty, Bai Xiaochun stepped into the sect very happily, and when he returned to the courtyard, he even expressed emotion.

“Cultivating immortals is for longevity. These people are always fighting and killing. There is something wrong with their heads.”

In the yard, Bai Xiaochun sorted out the storage bags of Chen Fei and the three of them. These three people were not rich, but their pockets were dry. Bai Xiaochun didn’t get much, but he didn’t care too much. He took out the herbs he bought, held them in his hands and observed them carefully. Everyone looked very seriously.

Although he has a solid foundation in plants and trees, he doesn’t have many opportunities to get in touch with real herbs. Now, following his observations, he is gradually combining with the knowledge in his mind. He even gently scratches the plants and trees from time to time to observe the internal structure carefully.

After confirming one by one, Bai Xiaochun was thoughtful, and took out the two powdered prescriptions he bought. He just glanced at the powdered prescriptions for supplementing spiritual energy, and focused on the prescriptions that can strengthen the body of ordinary people.

“Longevity Fragrance” Bai Xiaochun murmured, this recipe does not need many herbs, only seven kinds, and there is nothing unique in the combination, but uses the principle of mutual generation and restraint to stimulate the power of these seven kinds of herbs, turning them into powder, Condensed into incense.

Especially there are two kinds in it, which are poisonous. Although it is not very poisonous, it will cause diarrhea for half a month at most for monks, but it is also fatal for ordinary people.

“There are many spiritual plants in the world, some of which can be taken directly, some of which can be refined into alchemy to make the effect better, but there are also many of them that are poisonous, so they can only be refined into incense.” Bai Xiaochun pondered, refining the herbs for longevity incense one by one They all observed carefully until they understood the details of these seven herbs.

“It’s still not safe. The key point of refining medicine is the probability of success. Although it is the simplest first-level elixir, it still has a high failure rate.”

“I only have ten copies of each of these herbs, don’t let them go to waste.” Bai Xiaochun has a cautious personality and seeks stability in everything. He has already learned the subtleties when he recited the herbs. Now before refining the medicine, he is the same. He didn’t refine it immediately, but studied the prescription. .

Time passed day by day, and seven days later, when he had fully grasped the prescription, he closed his eyes and continuously analyzed and deduced it in his mind. It was not until dusk that he opened his eyes. After thinking about it, he took out the prescription for replenishing spiritual energy , to study again.

Half a month later, Bai Xiaochun’s eyes were bloodshot, and he had fully understood these two prescriptions and all the herbs he needed, so he pondered for a moment, got up abruptly, and walked out of the yard.

Alchemy requires a pill furnace, but the price of the pill furnace is very high, and Bai Xiaochun can’t afford to replace it. Fortunately, there is a refining pavilion in the sect specially equipped for disciples to refine medicine. You only need to spend a few contribution points to get in it. Alchemy.

The Medicine Refining Pavilion is located to the east of Xiangyun Mountain, not too far from where Bai Xiaochun is. This place is not as crowded as the Wanyao Pavilion on weekdays, and it is relatively quiet. After all, those who are qualified to refine medicineEven on Xiangyun Mountain, there are not many people, and many of them have obtained their own alchemy furnaces, so they don’t need to come here.

After paying a certain amount of contribution points, in exchange for a month in this Medicine Refining Pavilion, Bai Xiaochun walked in. The place was divided into hundreds of separate rooms, each surrounded by formation seals, so that people who refine medicines cannot Will not be disturbed by the outside world.

Holding the wooden sign he exchanged, Bai Xiaochun walked to the room in Sequence Thirteen, and glanced at it. The room was not big, and the surroundings were empty. There was a pill furnace in the middle, and there seemed to be a flame burning slightly under the pill furnace.

After sitting cross-legged, Bai Xiaochun took a deep breath, his eyes fell on the alchemy stove, observed carefully, and then looked at the flames below, trying to be urged by spiritual energy, the flames suddenly became intense, and the whole room

Section Reading 29

The heat in the room climbed, and the alchemy furnace was even reddish to the naked eye.

After many attempts in succession, Bai Xiaochun was able to condense the realm of purple gas into a cauldron, and soon he became familiar with the strength of controlling the fire. After feeling that he could control the flame flexibly, he slapped the storage bag and took out the vegetation.

“Longevity incense is very important to me now. You can’t refine it first. You need to be familiar with refining medicine before you can refine it. So now I can use the nourishing spirit pill to practice. This pill is first-level, suitable for the fifth level of Qi Condensation Next.” Bai Xiaochun made up his mind, looked very serious, recalled the prescription of the Spiritual Tonic Pill in his mind, and began to refine the medicine.

He took out a medicinal herb needed for nourishing spirit pills, held it in front of his eyes and waved his right hand, all the leaves of this medicinal herb fell immediately, Bai Xiaochun’s eyes were serious, and the spiritual energy in his body radiated, forming a forceful rubbing, and immediately those leaves were crushed Squeeze them together, squeeze out nine drops of juice, and fall into the alchemy furnace.

With a sound of touching, bursts of green mist rose immediately in the alchemy furnace, Bai Xiaochun’s spirit was highly concentrated, the moment the mist appeared, his hands quickly peeled off the stems of the herbs in his hands, and threw them into the alchemy furnace one by one, and from time to time To control the flame, there will be more mist in the alchemy furnace.

But they didn’t disperse, but condensed together. When they kept rolling, Bai Xiaochun took out the second herb and catalyzed it in his hand, causing this herb to bloom immediately, took off the petals and threw it into the alchemy furnace.

As time passed, Bai Xiaochun devoted himself wholeheartedly into it, continuously taking out herbs, until he put down eight kinds, his eyes showed a bright light, staring at the alchemy furnace, manipulating the ground fire to slowly change the temperature, but the sweat on his forehead This high concentration of spirit dripped down his cheeks.

An hour later, a muffled roar came from the alchemy furnace, and at the same time the scorched mist spread, although it was quickly sucked away by the formation in the room, Bai Xiaochun was still coughing due to choking, with an ugly expression on his face Looking at the black residue in the pill furnace, he frowned.

“Failed.” Bai Xiaochun leaned on his chin after sitting down, thinking in his eyes, he carefully recalled all the details of alchemy, he did not continue to refine alchemy, his character was cautious, so whether he was reciting herbs or refining medicine, he always pursued the greatest safety .

This thought lasted for three days. Three days later, he recalled the process of refining medicine for the first time at least a thousand times in the back of his mind, and found no less than fifty problems. Then he took a deep breath, took a short rest, and turned on the furnace again .

The time for real alchemy was actually not long. Two hours later, the alchemy furnace roared again, the mist still dispersed, and the residue in the furnace appeared again.

The persistence in Bai Xiaochun’s character came to the fore. After he fished out the residues and carefully studied them, combined with the process of refining the medicine in his mind, he also studied the prescriptions and plants. the third furnace.

It’s just that the third furnace was very stable in the beginning, but at the moment when it was about to become a pill, it shattered again, and when the roar reverberated muffled, Bai Xiaochun jumped up, staring at the residue of the pill furnace, silent After a long, long time, I sat aside and closed my eyes, meditating again.

This time, he pondered for almost half a month, until the time for this prescription was about to end, he opened his eyes, gritted his teeth, and opened the fourth pot.

In the end, when the alchemy room expired, the furnace still failed.

If this scene is seen by other pharmacists, they will definitely find it incredible. In a month, with other people, at least dozens of furnaces can be refined, and no matter what, they can produce results.

Even if only one grain is refined, it is still a harvest.

Because in the eyes of almost everyone, refining medicine is indeed very, very difficult, otherwise it would be impossible to be a real pharmacist, and there are only two in the entire Donglinzhou.

Even there are not many pharmacists, and most of them have no hope of becoming a pharmacist in their lifetime.

But in fact, the main reason for all this is that there are not so many resources for a person to grow up as a pharmacist. If the resources are sufficient, if you keep trying, you will definitely be able to become a pharmacist, but at least the chances will be too high. many.

Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, there is only one way to improve the success rate of refining medicine, and that is to practice continuously to increase proficiency

And what everyone pursues is this kind of proficiency.

Only when you have achieved enough proficiency, you can increase your confidence in success. Therefore, it is normal for medicine practitioners to fail in refining medicine. The elixir, the ingredients are not expensive, it is time to practice more.

But Bai Xiaochun is here, although the way is with allHe is the same as a human, but his speed is too much slower. Every time he fails, he spends countless times of alchemy time to continuously analyze and deduce.

This has something to do with his personality. He is cautious and even more cautious. This kind of carefulness was only partly reflected when he was learning plants, but after he was exposed to refining medicine, it was infinitely magnified and occupied the most important mentality.

Because of his carefulness, he noticed more problems after failure than others, not even a little bit more, because he thought more and looked carefully, even if others thought it was not a problem, he felt that something was wrong.

And because of being cautious, he had to overcome even a small problem before continuing to refine alchemy. Therefore, the time he spent thinking was countless times longer than that of alchemy.

At the end of a month, Bai Xiaochun’s hair was disheveled, his face was covered with black ashes, and he walked out of the Alchemy Pavilion exhaustedly. After returning to the courtyard, he was silent for a long time, and his mind kept reminiscing.

“There are still nine problems. Only when these nine problems are solved can we continue to refine medicine.” Bai Xiaochun gritted his teeth, sat in the courtyard and closed his eyes to think, constantly analyzing in his mind, and sometimes took out herbs to observe in detail.

Until half a month later, he rushed out and spent contribution points to enter the Alchemy Pavilion again.

fifth failure

It took him seven days to analyze the cause, find out the problem, solve the problem, and refine it again.

sixth failure

Bai Xiaochun’s eyes were red, and after spending twenty days, he finally felt that there was no more problem, so he turned on the seventh furnace.

An hour passed, but the roar did not appear, but the scent of pills came rushing towards his face. Bai Xiaochun was excited, looking at the two blue pills in the pill furnace, he took a deep breath, this is the seventh time, he succeeded

Then refine it again, succeed for the eighth time, and produce three pills

Ninth success, out of five pills

The tenth time was still successful, but there was only one pill that appeared for the tenth time, and the color was not blue, but black, without any fragrance, and even smelled, there was a strange smell

When Bai Xiaochun was surprised, the entire Alchemy Pavilion suddenly became restless.
