Chapter 17 Qiding Cloth Medicine
After carefully filtering the steps of distributing the medicine recorded in the "Baicao Danlu" in his mind again, Ye Qiuli took a deep breath, firmly stabilized his mind, and then transported the true yuan power, and the halberd pointed directly at the top cover of the Five Flames Spirit Light Ding, and the powerful power that rushed out from the Zifu Yuan Infant was like an invisible giant hand, grabbing the incomparably heavy lid of the Baoding and moving it to the side, revealing the huge Dan room inside the Danding that had been expanded by the space formation.
As one of the few top alchemy furnaces in the cultivation realm, although the Five Flames Lingguang Ding does not seem to have much magic on the outside, its internal structure is actually extremely complex, on the whole, the space inside the Ding Wall is divided into three layers, and the outermost layer is a large formation at the level of an immortal array, which has the effect of accumulating and containing aura, which can ensure the continuous supply of aura during alchemy and urge the prohibition of various formations inside the Danding.
Compared with the alchemist who directly uses his own true yuan and true fire to control the alchemy tripod furnace, after adding this layer of energy gathering and buffering large-scale formation, the Five Flame Spirit Light Ding itself can smoothly provide the huge energy required for operation, without worrying about the situation of intermittent energy.
Inside this layer of formation, there is a layer of small spaces that are divided by various forbidden combinations, these spaces are of different sizes, layered on top of each other, and arranged in an orderly manner, with a total number of more than a thousand. This is the place where the medicinal materials are arranged when refining the elixir, and all kinds of materials can be stored in various small spaces in advance according to the requirements of the elixir formula, according to the order of the refining steps, and when they need to be used, they can be taken directly from it, but there is no longer a need for the alchemist to add them at any time in the subsequent process.
This function is also one of the distinguishing features of the high-grade Danding in the cultivation world from the ordinary Danding. All the materials required for alchemy are stored inside the Danding in advance, arranged one by one according to the order of use of the pill formula, and taken at any time, which can not only greatly reduce the burden of the alchemist, but also effectively reduce the probability of mistakes and prevent refining failure. After all, if you completely rely on the alchemist to add medicinal materials, not to mention other influences for the time being, there is a lot of uncertainty just because of the human action itself.
When refining low-grade elixirs, as long as you use a few or more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials, there is no problem, and you can use them correctly with a little attention. However, when refining a top-grade elixir, you have to use dozens, hundreds, or even hundreds of formula materials at every turn, which is not something that ordinary people can control, no matter how careful you are, mistakes will inevitably occur. And in the extremely rigorous alchemy process, even if only one wrong herb is used, the final result can only end in failure, and all the previous efforts of the alchemist are all nullified.
As a treasure-level alchemy tripod furnace, the Five Flames Lingguang Ding's ability to automatically add alchemy materials has obviously reached the extreme of the human realm, and the more than a thousand medicine storage spaces composed of prohibitions inside it are all filled with more than a thousand kinds of elixirs, even the most complex Silent Annihilation Pill in the refining and cultivation realm can be completely satisfied. In fact, all the materials for refining the Silent Annihilation Pill add up to only a few hundred kinds, and it is still far from the maximum loading capacity of the Five Flames Spirit Light Ding, and the most fundamental purpose of this treasure weapon is to refine several kinds of spirit pills in one furnace.
In the cultivation world, there are many elixirs that do not exist alone, and when refining it, there are often one or several by-products, just like the legendary and famous Qiji Dan, that is, a furnace can produce seven kinds of elixirs at the same time, from the lowest-level elixir, to the high-level elixir, the elixir, to the final king of the elixir, there are all kinds of elixirs of various grades and functions, and there is no way to refine the ordinary alchemy furnace Ding. At that time, it was time for the Five Flames Lingguang Ding, which could refine multiple elixirs in one furnace, to exert its power.
Of course, if you want to refine a top-level elixir at the level of a divine pill, the treasure-level Five Flames Lingguang Ding is still powerless, at least there must be a top-level immortal-level alchemy furnace tripod, if there is an artifact-level furnace tripod, it is naturally the best choice. And if you want to truly refine the king of the extremely rare Divine Pill, it is even more necessary to have an alchemy furnace with a high-level artifact or above, which is not something that cultivators in the human realm can imagine at all.
Beyond this layer of the forbidden space where various alchemy materials are placed, and then inside is the true core of the Five Flames Spirit Light Ding, which I don't know how many magical formations are densely packed, how many mystical prohibitions are staggered, the origin fire heart of the Five Flames True Yuan Fire is arranged in the core of the formation and prohibition according to the direction of the five elements, and in the middle of these five kinds of spiritual flames, there is another small forbidden space, where the elixir is refined and formed, and it is successfully conceived.
Seriously speaking, the difference between using a treasure-level Danding like the Five Flames Lingguang Ding to refine the pill and using the ordinary Danding to refine the pill is like a fully automatic assembly line and pure manual manufacturing, a large part of the alchemy work has been completely completed automatically by the combination of various formations and prohibitions within the Danding, and the things that the alchemist needs to do are really many times less than the general situation.
The use of this Baoding refining pill not only improves the efficiency countless times, but also achieves the ultimate in error control, and the final alchemy success rate and the quality of the pill are far beyond the general alchemy furnace, which is absolutely in line with the fundamental principle that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.
In the legends of the Xiuzhen world, there are some top-level alchemy treasures that use heavenly fire or earth fire as the source of energy, and their degree of automation has completely reached the unbelievable realm, the alchemist only needs to lay out the various materials for refining the elixir according to the requirements, and in the following time, there is no need to take care of or control at all, all the processes are automatically completed by the danding, and the alchemist only needs to collect the pill that has been successfully refined in the final stage.
This kind of top-level Baoding, which only needs to invest materials and can wait for the finished elixir to be baked, really makes Ye Qiu fascinated, dreaming of it, and wishing that he also has one. It's a pity that such a supreme treasure is not something that can exist in the cultivation realm at all, and even a high-level scattered immortal like Baicao Sanren, who was born in the top alchemy sect of the cultivation realm, has never seen it with his own eyes, let alone got it in his hands, and the probability is absolutely minimal, and there is no one in a billion.
After lifting the lid of the Five Flames Spirit Light Ding, Ye Qiuli used the True Yuan Force to control the lid not to fall for the time being, and at the same time seized the time to arrange the ingredients for the medicinal herbs. In an instant, I saw that his hands were making all kinds of mysterious and complicated seals one after another, and ten fingers were also pointing at the alchemy materials on the ground one after another.
That scene was like a flock of birds entering the forest and swimming fish returning to the sea, but in just a moment, the hundreds of materials needed to refine the Blood Condensation Pill had all flown into the inside of the Danding, and they were arranged one by one in the second layer of the forbidden space, ready to deal with the next refining and use at any time.
In order to ensure the success rate of alchemy to the greatest extent, Ye Qiuli's process of distributing medicine this time completely copied the records in the "Baicao Danlu", and even the number of materials used was exactly the same, and he made up his mind to completely copy the successful experience of the Baicaosan people.
As a high-level scattered immortal who was born in the first major sect of alchemy in the cultivation realm, the research of alchemy techniques has reached an extremely advanced realm, and the understanding of the essence of alchemy is completely beyond the imagination of ordinary cultivators.
Completely copying the experience of the Baicaosan people, after successfully arranging all kinds of elixirs, the refining of the Blood Clotting Pill is half the success, and the next step is to really start condensing the elixir. There is nothing particularly difficult about this process, the only requirement is that the refiner must be bold and careful, be able to grasp the civil and military conditions of various medicinal materials in a timely manner, and make the most appropriate adjustments at the most appropriate time. Therefore, during this period, the alchemist is still not sloppy at all, and the slightest negligence may affect the efficacy of the final Cheng Dan, and even lead to the failure of alchemy.
It's just that with the help of the Five Flames Spirit Light Ding, Ye Qiuli took a lot of advantage. Extracting essence, gathering spirits, harmonizing, becoming pills, and cultivating nature, these alchemy steps are the most effective stages of this alchemy Baoding's auxiliary function, as long as there is no mistake in the seal recipe and the supply of true fire is sufficient, most of the process will be completed quickly and easily with the help of the Five Flames True Yuan Fire, and he can completely save more energy to deal with all kinds of sudden changes.
This is also the most critical reason why the Five Flames Lingguang Ding can be ranked among the top treasure pills, because in all the alchemy processes, the most critical, difficult, and error-prone stage is the process of refining and blending the essence of various elixirs to condense them into a pill.
The elixir used by cultivators is not a simple thing, in each elixir formula, there are dozens of kinds, hundreds of materials, with different attributes or even conflicting materials, which are not so easy to reconcile, that not only requires a huge amount of mental energy and a huge amount of divine consciousness to control, but sometimes it is necessary to rely on the strength of cultivation to forcibly compress and condense various materials, so that they can be fused with each other, catalyzed by each other, and transformed in the direction that the alchemist needs.
In such a delicate microscopic operation process, the refiner must go all out to devote himself to it, not the slightest carelessness, the slightest carelessness, one wrong step, that is the end of the whole game, not to mention the failure of refining, even if the Dan destroys people, it is very likely that people will die.
This is the reason why alchemists have to use the alchemy furnace to refine elixir, instead of being able to use the heart refining method to refine magic weapons out of thin air like refiners. They need to use Danding to help them control and reconcile the properties of various medicinal materials, so that they can change in the direction they want, and generate the products they need, instead of randomly synthesizing an inexplicable thing.
