I am honest

Compared with the formation test, the alchemy test is simpler for Bao Gu.

To practice alchemy, the first thing is to master all kinds of elixirs, elixir refining materials, medicinal properties, and medicinal uses.

There are so many elixir treasures planted in Baogu's super-large storage bag. She once wrote the Encyclopedia of Hard Works and Essence Medicines. There are jade slip records and real references. She knows all the common and uncommon elixir in the world of immortality. The omission was also completed after reading her jade slips in the biography of the demon sage, which recorded the world's rare and rare medicines.

Only by mastering the properties of medicine can we adapt measures to the material.

Practicing alchemy requires not only mastering the properties of the medicine, but also controlling the heat. The heat has similarities with boiling medicine. Some medicines need to be boiled slowly over a slow fire, while others must be boiled over a high fire.However, in alchemy, hundreds of medicines are put in together, and the properties of various medicines are synthesized and reacted together, which is much more complicated than mortal decoction, but in Bao Gu's eyes, the principles are similar, and the things used are just different.The furnace fire during alchemy can be fueled by the true energy of the inner family, that is to say, it must be fueled by the spiritual power and spiritual power accumulated in practice.This point is the highest requirement, if the fire is not mastered, the elixir cannot be refined, and there is even the danger of frying the furnace.To master the heat well, you not only need to know when to use what kind of fire to make how much strength, but also have sufficient spiritual power as a support, otherwise, halfway through the alchemy, the spiritual power will not continue, and it is useless to know what kind of fire to use. To support it with spiritual power is definitely worse than cooking halfway without firewood in the stove.After all, if the fire is turned off in the middle of the meal and the raw food is mixed, you can add two scoops of water to make porridge, which is still edible. If the fire is turned off halfway through the alchemy, all the medicine in the alchemy furnace will be useless!

The demon saint told Bao Gu that alchemy is the experience left by the predecessors, which can be used for reference and learned, but if you keep learning by rote, you will never become a good alchemist.Especially in today's world of cultivating immortals, where the resources for cultivating immortals are exhausted and precious medicines are becoming scarcer, it is difficult to gather the medicinal materials needed for many ancient alchemy formulas, so flexibility is needed.

There is no other way to learn alchemy, just read more, remember more, memorize more and practice more.Read more and memorize elixirs and prescriptions, and practice alchemy skills to master fire experience.

Bao Gu De Yaosheng personally taught and imparted experience, avoiding many detours, and made rapid progress.

Although she does not seldom go out with her fellow disciples, but because she runs a business, she is clear about alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, etc. in the same sect.If the alchemy technique is good, a furnace of pill can have [-]% to [-]% waste residue. Normally, a furnace of pill can yield [-]% or even [-]% waste residue. If only [-] to [-]% waste residue can be produced from a furnace of medicine, then it is considered excellent .The amount of waste residue not only affects the amount of pills produced, but even directly affects the quality of the pills. If only [-]-[-]% of the waste residue is produced, it is considered a high-grade pill, and its value is three to four times that of ordinary pills with [-]-[-]% waste residue.

Bao Gu had seen Yao Sheng alchemy when Yao Sheng demonstrated alchemy to her, and the pills released from Yao Sheng's hand had no waste at all.Every elixir that comes out of the oven is like a living thing, the color is uniform and full of spiritual energy, and the elixir is lingering in the sun. Comparing the elixir that she bought from her fellow disciples with the elixir refined by the demon saint, it is like a heaven and an earth. Comparing the high-grade pills given by her master Feng and the head teacher with only [-] to [-] percent waste, and the pills in Yaosheng's hands, there is a difference between clouds and mud.

One perfect elixir refined by the demon saint is definitely worth ten high-grade elixirs in her storage bag.

Bao Gu worshiped a master like Yao Sheng, and she had so many elixir in her pocket, if the elixir she refined was not of perfect quality, she would feel ashamed to go out to meet people.

Under the influence of this mentality, she studied alchemy very hard, forgot to sleep and eat, and even forgot the time, and often needed her little uncle to remind her to remember.

Compared with alchemy, the magic circle needs to learn more and more advanced things.

Learning the formation method requires deduction, and its extremely complicated deduction, the celestial stems, earthly branches, astronomical phenomena, and phenomena are indispensable supports.

The magic circle is to rationally control and use it according to the time and place, but it can also reverse the universe and do things that are latitude and longitude through the layout of the formation.In a small way, it can be used in homes and even to gather spiritual energy. In a big way, if the knowledge of formations is used to the extreme, with the support of corresponding materials, it can completely build an independent world.

With the deepening of the formation knowledge, Bao Gu discovered that the Yao Sheng's entrance examination for her was simply as simple as one plus one and two.

To become a brilliant master of formations, one's deduction ability must reach the point where one can even deduce the secrets of heaven.

Bao Gu suffered a disadvantage in the formation technique, now she has to be taught by the demon sage herself, she dare not not work hard.She learns how the demon sage teaches, doing a lot of deduction and practicing formation.

Under such high-intensity practice, she can only set aside one day a month to deal with chores.Her demon sage practiced the formation method to deduce her calculation instinct, which grew at the speed of controlling a flying sword, and she was born in reading the account book for many years, so she could tell at a glance whether there was any error in the account book.As for other business matters, they are also well-versed in the field. If the business needs to expand, it will expand, if it needs to open a branch, it will open a branch, and if it needs to recruit people, it will recruit people.If she wants spirit stones, she has spirit stones, and if she wants things, she has a big backer like Xuantianmen. The business outside her business has been quite smooth, and even the business in the master's gate has been booming.

All kinds of spirit stones and good materials collected for her were continuously delivered and put into her oversized storage bag.

The elixirs she refined from practicing alchemy can't be used up by herself, and the quality is far superior. Naturally, the nature of a grain businessman can't do things that only come out but not in. Except for some of the elixirs she refined, she keeps some of them for her own use. In addition, all of them were sold and exchanged for elixir and used for alchemy.Although the elixir she sells is a little far from the perfect appearance every time, it is also a rare top-grade appearance, and the selling price is extremely good, and it is a huge income every month.

Earning a lot, the people below sent more good things, and Baogu's net worth became more and more rich, so he added some things to his own yard and Ziyunshu's yard from time to time. Or the things that Zi Yunshu picks up casually in her yard are rare treasures outside.

Bao Gu was busy practicing alchemy and magic circles from the demon saint, so her practice naturally fell behind. Fortunately, daily alchemy needs a lot of spiritual power to support her, and she eats pills all day long, so her progress in practice has not stagnated. Moving forward at a snail-like speed so slow that it is almost negligible.

As for the monthly teacher's major exam, Bao Gu never took part in it.It's not that she doesn't go, but it's just that she really can't catch up. On the day of the big exam, she can't get away with either turning on the alchemy furnace for alchemy, or shutting herself in the room to deduce the formation, so she can't take care of the big exam at all.

Bao Gu's biggest emotion is that practice has no time.A month has passed in a blink of an eye, and a year has passed in a few blinks of an eye.

The last time I looked up, the big trees outside the courtyard were still extraordinarily lush. After a blink of an eye, when I looked up again, it was already the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.

She has almost no news of Yumi.She has Yumi's sound transmission talisman, and the sound transmission talisman never connects, and her senior sister never answers when she uses the sound transmission talisman to leave a sound.She knew that the little senior uncle and the senior sister would have some contact, but it seemed that the senior sister had said something to the little senior uncle. The little senior uncle never disclosed the news of her senior sister, and only told her after her senior sister advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Later, she finally refined pills of perfect quality, and her level reached that almost nine out of ten batches of pills were of perfect quality. That made her slow down her cultivation progress.

She only has the strength of the third level of foundation building. Even though she is a five-spirit root, her spiritual power is much deeper than others, and limited by her realm, the spiritual power contained in her dantian is also limited.Her spiritual power is only enough to support her refining the elixir of the Foundation Establishment Stage.She thought she would be able to refine the pills above the Nascent Soul Realm, but because of insufficient cultivation and spiritual power, she couldn't do it.

She is also quite successful in formations.

I don't know when the little master uncle designated the mountain forest where they lived as a forbidden area to prevent other disciples from entering. He also said that he wanted to test her formation level and asked her to set up a formation restriction in the forest.None of the senior fellow students dared to rush in. She, Uncle Feng, was once accidentally trapped for more than two hours before she came out of the battle.Later, with the improvement of the level of formation, she found out some shortcomings of the original formation and improved them.

She wanted to trap Master Feng twice, but ever since Master Da Feng knew that the formation that trapped him was arranged by her, she never came to break through the formation. The sound transmission is passed on.Without Uncle Feng coming here from time to time for various reasons to beat Qiufeng, pull out some of her elixir plants and take her some gourd monkey wine, she saved a lot of monkey wine and elixir.

Bao Gu is also used to this kind of practice days.Every morning and night, he drank monkey wine and ate the refined pills to practice. When he had time during the day, he deduced formations, and occasionally opened a furnace of pills to practice his hands.

Compared with alchemy, she is more interested in the profound and vast formations.The deduction of the formation method is closer to the Tao as it goes to the back, which makes her gain a lot of insights, which is also of great benefit to practice. She has evolved some small techniques from the formation method deduction.For example shrinking into inches.

Applying the formation method to the footwork of the feet, she can easily display the magical powers such as shrinking the ground to an inch that can only be displayed by the legendary master.

In addition, he used the Xuantian swordsmanship that he had comprehended in conjunction with the footwork that implied the formation's orientation, adding another kind of unpredictable change.

Magic circle knowledge can be used anytime, anywhere.From gathering spirits, guarding courtyards to walking, practicing swords, and even planting elixir can come in handy, and even drawing symbols can be used for array knowledge.

Talismans and talismans are different from formations, but they also have similarities.The talisman, as a carrier and medium, can carry the power of heaven and earth, and gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the talisman before releasing it.Some dao marks and powers enlightened from the formation can be condensed in talismans, and can be arranged into formations with talismans.

Because of his excellent knowledge of formations, Bao Gu learned talismans quite smoothly.

However, although formations and talismans have similarities, they still have their own differences and characteristics.

Bao Gu started to practice talismans after he had achieved a little success in learning alchemy and formations.She started from the most basic symbols, and the seemingly most basic and simple things are the most difficult to learn.Before drawing talismans, one must wash hands, stare, calm down, and exercise energy. When drawing talismans, one must pay attention to standing posture and gestures. Together with talismans, one should pay more attention to the perception and use of the way of heaven.The few simple strokes on the talisman paper seem to be ghostly drawn talismans, but in fact, each stroke and every stroke coincides with the laws of heaven and has its own particularity.

In the past few years of her practice, her realm of practice has not improved much, but her temperament has become more and more calm. She also has a lot of experience in cultivating the Tao, and the talismans are also inferences for her.Although her master was very dissatisfied with the improvement of her practice realm, she was full of praise for her progress in learning talismans.

However, the cultivation realm is the real foundation. If the cultivation realm is too low, even if she learns the most advanced alchemy techniques and masters the most advanced formation knowledge, she will not be able to exert much effect.

Her realm progressed slowly, but there was nothing she could do.The road is taken step by step, and the realm of practice is improved bit by bit. Even if she has pills and monkey wine to support her, there are only so many hours she can practice every day, and pills and monkey wine can transform Her spiritual power is also limited, and the realm that can be increased every day is as clear as her account book.She is a five-spiritual root, and she didn't take a quick path. Over the years, she has also gotten used to and accepted this fact, and practiced steadily step by step.

She is not in a hurry, and it is useless for others to be in a hurry.

Recently, the demon sage has passed on less and less things to her, and she has time to spare, practicing step by step to hit the realm, and when she has free time, she will dig out the jade slips she has learned before to review the old ones, or go to the demon sage's study to find some jade slips by herself Borrow to see.

Because she learned skills from the demon sage and liked to read books, the demon sage moved all the books she had collected in her life from the storage ring into the study.

Accompanied by books and immersed in practice every day, although Bao Gu always felt lost in his heart, his days were not difficult, on the contrary, they always passed quickly.

Often look up, the sunrise.Look up again, the sunset.

As spring goes and autumn comes, a year is actually a snap of the fingers.

Her originally half-sized body has also grown, and her height has also been slightly raised.The childishness on the face has all faded away, and the facial features that have been fully opened are outlined extremely delicately. The eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, lined with the calm temperament like water, like a ray of elf spirit in the mountains and forests transformed by the mist of the morning glow, and like a ray of light cigarette.Especially those eyes, as light as autumn water, always filled with thin mist and a few wisps of emptiness, her eyes always make people think of the beautiful green hills half covered by clouds and mist, ethereal and ethereal, untouched by the world.

Seeing Bao Gu like this, Zi Yunshu often sighs with emotion: "Why is this little profiteer more beautiful than me? Fortunately, you have been living in the house all year round without leaving home. The crown of the most beautiful woman in Tianmen is still firmly on my head."

Every time Bao Gu teased Zi Yunshu, Zi Yunshu let her go, and Ziyunshu complained that she didn't respond, like a dead person.

Bao Gu is quite helpless, how should she react?

Zi Yunshu was very angry with Bao Gu, so every time Bao Gu was so pale that she looked like a dead person, she told Bao Gu very "nicely": "Your senior sister Yu Mi came back last month and brought some new disciples in. , I just left yesterday." "Hey, Yumi came back a few days ago and just left this morning." In other words, anyway, every time she said it was Yumi who came back and then left.Bao Gu couldn't tell the truth from the fake, so he just took Zi Yunshu to make fun of her and didn't respond.

She knew that her senior sister had come back and led the new disciples back, but Yumi had never set foot in the small courtyard where she lived, not even the forest where they lived.Because in the past five years, there have been more and more new faces who have come to her forest to pass on, and many of them are new disciples led by her senior sister.

Five years passed, and they refused to even meet each other.Except for the seemingly true and false news that came out of the young master uncle's mouth, Bao Gu had no news about Yu Mi at all.

Bao Gu thought that her character had been cultivated well enough and indifferent enough in the past five years, but when she thought of Yu Mi, she felt lost and inexplicably hurt in her heart.

In five years, she got used to many things.Including getting used to the loss in my heart, getting used to being distressed, getting used to standing in the courtyard and looking into the distance when thinking about Yu Mi, getting used to having a shadow stuck in my heart with a touch of melancholy and slight pain, getting used to Yu Mi avoiding her, I'm also used to my little uncle always hitting her with news about Yumi.

She knew that the little uncle wanted to see how anxious or angry she was because of Yumi.

Bao Gu couldn't think of a reason why she wanted to jump or get angry, she felt at ease knowing that her senior sister was doing well, and she also knew the reason why her senior sister didn't see her.She couldn't let go, so the senior sister naturally refused to see her.When she let go someday, maybe her senior sister will come to see her.Letting go and worrying, Bao Gu can't force it, she feels that this relationship is the same as cultivating Taoism, which emphasizes following fate and following one's heart.

She doesn't think there is anything wrong with pretending to be alone in her heart, which is also a kind of practice for her.
