Chapter Seventy-Three: Keep Improving
readx;? Sure enough, Chu Duan held Huo Lao in the palm of his hand, and Long Bao felt the familiar breath, re-drilled out of the formation and flew over slowly. When he saw the fire in Chu Duan's palm, his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Lan Lan, it's really you, what's wrong with you, Lan Lan?"www.biquge.info
"Poof", hearing Long Bao call Huo Lao Lanlan, Chu Duan almost collapsed on the ground laughing while holding his stomach, it turned out that Huo Lao still had such a strange name. No, it's so funny, I have to tease him when Huo Lao wakes up. Long Bao felt inexplicable when he saw Chu Duan, who suddenly couldn't laugh, what happened to this person? But it seems that he is not a bad person.
"Human, do you know what's wrong with Lan Lan, and where is the original owner?" asked Long Bao as he looked at Chu Duan with a pair of big eyes.
"Huo Lao, oh, that's what you said about Lan Lan eating up, and now you need to sleep to digest it, and she will wake up soon. As for your original master, he ...... "Chu Duan didn't know how to tell Long Bao, after all, the fall of the Evil Medicine King was too complicated, and he was originally going to take away himself, but in the end, he was sucked dry of the power of the Yuan Shen by the tentacles that protruded from the black lotus seed and fell.
Long Bao asked, "What's wrong with him?"
"He ......" Chu Duan hesitated for a moment and said, "He has completely fallen." ”
"No, the master is so powerful, how can he fall, you lie to the baby, you are a liar!" Long Bao cried very sadly, and fiery red tears welled up in his big eyes.
Chu Duan didn't know how to comfort him, Huo Lao smacked his lips, turned over and sat up, and said, "Who is this, crying so loudly, and not letting people sleep!"
Huo Lao rubbed his eyes, the first thing he saw was Chu Duan, and the second thing he saw was Long Bao. Huo Lao flew to the top of Long Bao's head, grabbed Long Bao's dragon horn and said, "Little guy, do you still recognize Old Ancestor and me, why are you crying?"
Long Bao woke up when he saw the fire, just like a bullied child who saw his parents, and cried even more sadly. While crying, he pointed at Chu Duan with his little paws, and said, "He said that the master has fallen, he lied to people, Lan Lan, you said, the master has not fallen, right?"
When Huo Lao heard this, his face suddenly froze, and he patted Long Bao's head and said, "He has indeed fallen." ”
Hearing this, the last bit of illusion in Long Bao's heart was shattered, and he cried even more sadly. Huo Lao sat on top of Long Bao's head, didn't speak, just rubbed Long Bao's dragon horn with his hand. The Nine Dragons Gathering Fire Array was personally laid by Li Mad Jun according to the mutilated array diagram, and the Spirit Dragon Treasure was born, so it can be said that Li Mad Jun created him.
Although in the eyes of Huo Lao, Li Maarjun was indifferent and proud, and did not pour any feelings into Long Bao, but feelings have never been equal. Maybe you are good to someone with your heart and lungs, but he doesn't have the slightest affection for you, maybe someone you never care about can do everything for you.
Long Bao cried for most of the day, and finally calmed down under the comfort of Huo Lao, his mind was actually a child, and he finally got better under Huo Lao's teasing. And Chu Dui on the side also took this opportunity to get close to Long Baotao, and soon became acquainted with him.
The Nine Dragons Gathering Fire Array has not been used since the Evil Medicine King fell into the cave sky, and now hundreds of years have passed, and Long Bao was also woken up by Chu Dui's sudden opening of the formation, and now he can't stay outside for too long, and soon returned to the core of the formation to sleep.
Huo Lao was startled when he saw Chu Duan's eyes, if he had skin, he would have goosebumps on the ground long ago. Said cautiously: "Boy, why are you looking at Old Ancestor me with such eyes?"
Chu Duan's face was full of teasing: "Lan Lan, I absorbed the power of two spiritual fires, how do you feel now?"
"Heavenly Dragon Treasure, Ancestor, I'll fight with you!", Chu Duan covered his ears, and a terrifying roar sounded on the first floor of the attic, and the sound lasted for a long time.
Chu Duan covered his ears and rolled his eyes, people just called you Lanlan, and now you are too slow to react.
The roar subsided, and when Chu Duan looked at Huo Lao again, he had already fallen asleep again. After some probing, he found that Huo Lao was really in a deep sleep, Chu Duan shook his head and put him back on his shoulder, he sensed that Huo Lao's aura had become much stronger.
Chu Duan looked at the eighteen pieces of medium-grade jade essence that had turned into stone powder on the formation node, and he was distressed, this was to be replaced with a low-grade jade essence, but it was 1,800 pieces. After cleaning up the stone powder, Chu Duan put eighteen pieces of medium-grade jade essence on it again, and the black dragon furnace slowly levitated.
The Nine Dragons Fire Gathering Array was opened again, and this time there was no Dragon Treasure to make trouble, and it went a lot smoother. The fiery red blurred phantom of the dragon's head slowly appeared, and clusters of flames erupted from the dragon's mouth and landed at the bottom of the black dragon furnace, slowly heating the Dan furnace.
It is recorded in the Dan Dao experience of the Evil Medicine King that the Dan furnace must be preheated before alchemy, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to extract the medicinal properties due to uneven cold and heat. Of course, this kind of detail will not appear in books such as "The First Explanation of Dan Dao" and "Introduction to Dan Dao Apprentices", either passed down from master to apprentice, or always groped by yourself.
Just because I don't know how to preheat the Dan furnace before alchemy, and I don't know how many people who have just entered the Dan Dao have wasted their spirits, they obviously come according to the Dan formula, but they always can't succeed, and they can't figure it out.
The Dan furnace was almost preheated, Chu Dui grabbed a essence grass and threw it into the Dan furnace, Chu Duan's soul power poured into the furnace, carefully observing the changes of the essence grass. After entering the Dan furnace, the essence qi grass was suspended in the furnace, and under the action of the Dan furnace, the essence qi grass slowly changed, and the whole medicinal herb turned into a gray-green medicinal liquid, and the medicinal power of refining the essence qi pill was in the medicinal liquid.
Although the gray-green medicinal liquid had the medicinal power needed to refine the Essence Qi Pill, it was more of an unwanted impurity, and these impurities had to be removed in order to obtain the medicinal power. Alchemy, alchemy, the word "alchemy" contains multiple meanings. It is not only to refine impurities, but also to refine medicinal power, knead various medicinal powers into one, and finally become a pill.
Chu Dui's Yuan Shen operated, carefully controlling the formation to release firepower, and at the same time controlling the Dan furnace to transfer the appropriate heat to the medicinal liquid and refine the impurities in it. Obviously, this is very depleting for the spirit, and it is not a small requirement for the soul of an alchemist.
"Poof", the gray-green medicine liquefied into a wisp of smoke and disappeared, Chu Duan failed again, and the reason for the failure was that the temperature of the Dan furnace was too high. Chu Duan was already prepared for failure, according to the Evil Medicine King's own records, his first alchemy was also the essence pill he chose, and he failed three times before succeeding.
This is already very surprising, for a first-time alchemist, even if it is the simplest mortal-level low-grade pill like the Essence Qi Pill, it is normal for it to fail ten or twenty times.
There are too many bends and curves in alchemy, even if those alchemy masters, even alchemy grandmasters, fail in alchemy. The more high-level the elixir, the more difficult it is to refine, and the lower the success rate of refining, which is common knowledge in the cultivation world.
Before the Evil Medicine King fell into the evil path, he was named the Medicine King by the cultivation world because of his extremely high success rate in alchemy. He has a ninety percent success rate, which means that he can refine ten times, and nine of them can be successful. And the general success rate of other alchemy masters is three or four percent, and some of the better ones are only five or six percent, how can they be compared to him. Other higher-grade Dao Pills, the success rate of the Evil Medicine King is also outrageously high, and his legend is completely refined by his Dao Pills one by one.
Putting in a Essence Qi Grass again, soon the Essence Qi Grass turned into a gray-green medicinal liquid, and Chu Duan refined the impurities in it more carefully and carefully. Slowly, the gray-green liquid became clear, and from time to time, gray sand-like impurities were refined and fell to the bottom of the furnace, and the bottom of the furnace was automatically cleaned up by a formation.
The liquid became clearer and clearer, but it was also more and more difficult, because it only took a little more temperature to refine the impurities and the medicinal power. Looking at the liquid medicine that was almost transparent and had a small amount of impurities, Chu Duan hesitated.
In fact, at this time, the medicinal liquid can already be used for alchemy, and the quality of refining the elixir is still excellent. Although the quality of the refined pill is not good, and the impurities are mixed into the pill to turn into erysipelas, but considering the first alchemy, it is already worth celebrating.
Relying on the cultivation of the Dan Dao in the short term will indeed make the cultivation improve quickly, but it is precisely because the impurities mixed in the alchemy process turn into erysipelas, so that the pill should not be eaten too much.
The accumulation of erysipelas in the monk's body will damage the monk's origin and destroy the monk's foundation, and such a monk will not be able to get a path at all. Therefore, monks will only take pills when they rush to pass or other special times, and try to choose to take high-quality pills, and spend time to get rid of erysipelas after taking them.
The same pill is of different quality, and the cultivation world is divided into inferior, medium, superior, superlative, and perfect pills, and the basis for the division is how much erysipelas are contained in the pills. There are a lot of erysipelas in the inferior pills, and the quality is low, and it takes a lot of time to get rid of the pills after taking them, so as not to affect their future cultivation.
There is less erysipelas in the middle pill than the lower pill, and it takes less time to get rid of the erysipelas after taking it, and this quality pill is also a pill that is generally acceptable in the cultivation world. There is less erysipelas in the superior pills, it takes less time to remove impurities after taking it, and it can be taken continuously, which is naturally more favored and sought after by monks, and its value is also greater.
As for the best elixir, it is extremely rare, and the erysipelas among them are very limited. Even if an alchemy master who can refine the Dao Pill refines the Bao Dan, it is extremely difficult to refine the pill of the best quality, and that kind of pill almost depends on providence and luck.
As for the perfect quality elixir, it has long been forgotten in the years, and no one can refine it, not even the evil medicine king back then. There are also very few people in the Dan Dao who know that there are perfect quality pills, and they think that there are only four kinds of pill quality: inferior, medium, superior and superb.
Legend has it that there is no impurity in the perfect elixir, which means that as long as there is a perfect enough elixir, you can always take it to improve your cultivation without worrying about the damage of erysipelas to yourself. This is simply incredible, so those who know it can only be regarded as babbling nonsense, that kind of elixir that goes against the chaos and violates the rules only exists in theory, not in reality.
However, the Evil Medicine King has always believed in the existence of a perfect quality elixir, and has always tried to refine that elixir. He had sensed the perfect artistic conception in the dark many times when refining the best elixir, but there was an invisible gap between the best and the perfect, which blocked his steps like a heavenly stream, making him unable to refine the perfect elixir, which was a lifelong regret.
