Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 194 Alchemy, I am a genius in alchemy!
It didn't take long before all the impurities in the elixir were easily separated.

These elixirs also turned into essences in the form of powder, gelatinous jelly, and clear flowing water.

In this way, the first step was completed.

The impurities are refined out because they are prevented from contaminating the purity of the elixir.

Now that the impurities had been refined, Gu Yuan followed his understanding of the Jade Essence Pill formula and the method recorded in the Golden Elixir Essentials to begin extracting and separating the various medicinal properties he needed.

Gu Yuan pinched seals with his hands and performed a series of hand gestures to control the Taiyuan True Water and integrate and adjust the various medicinal properties in it.

boom!
Suddenly, the condensed medicinal liquid exploded directly because the balance of medicinal properties was not properly controlled.

A strange smell suddenly spread.

Gu Yuan threw the discarded liquid medicine away. He showed no regret, pity, or surprise. Instead, he looked thoughtful as he recalled the details of what had just happened.

"Could it be that the medicinal properties of the mouse-ear grass are too complex and I haven't been able to completely refine it?"

"Or is it that the magnolia flower just now was a little older, and its medicinal properties were stronger, making the other medicinal properties unbalanced, thus causing the elixir to be ruined?"

When refining some elixirs, high-quality, aged elixirs are often required. In this way, the elixirs refined will often be more effective and of higher quality.

However, for a novice like Gu Yuan, the older the spiritual medicine is, the worse it is.

Alchemy is a very delicate matter. Even the slightest change in the medicinal properties will often lead to the failure of alchemy.

If the master of alchemy is unsure about this kind of problem, he will naturally not care about it. He may even adjust the balance of medicinal properties at will and finally combine them into a pill.

But Gu Yuan couldn't do that.

He is not a master of alchemy, so at this stage, it is better for him to practice step by step.

After pondering the process for a while and summarizing his previous omissions, Gu Yuan seemed to be thinking about something.

"Never mind, let's try again."

Then, he took out another batch of materials and started refining it again.

……

More than two hours later.

"Congeal!"

Gu Yuan made some hand gestures towards a ball of liquid medicine the size of an egg in front of him. Soon, the ball of liquid medicine split into more than fifty smaller balls of liquid medicine.

Then, Gu Yuan controlled the Taiyuan True Water and released a hint of coldness. The medicinal liquid directly solidified into pills and turned into round Jade Essence Pills.

"Finally succeeded..."

Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

These jade essence pills in front of me are crystal white, as if they were carved from mutton-fat jade, and they are shining with a lustrous luster.

If it weren't for the lingering sweet fragrance of the spiritual grain, no one would think that this was a food elixir.

Then Gu Yuan released a stream of true energy, collected all the elixirs, and put them into a jade bottle.

Only one of them was left, which he took in his hand and examined carefully.

"It's as smooth as jade, with a sweet aroma of grain. It's clearly top-quality... Not bad, but I wonder what it tastes like."

Having said this, Gu Yuan simply threw it into his mouth.

The Jade Essence Pill melted in the mouth, and in an instant, a rich and sweet taste flowed directly into the stomach.

A light warmth, mixed with a feeling of fullness, rose and spread throughout the body.

Even his Tai Yuan Qi became more active. "Very good, there are almost no impurities in it. It is indeed of top quality..."

Gu Yuan nodded repeatedly, very satisfied.

"The Jade Essence Pill is a basic elixir. Of course, it is more difficult to make than the Yellow Millet Pill."

"Ordinary people who refine pills, even if they start with the Jade Essence Pill, often need to understand the principles of the pill and observe the alchemy process of their predecessors before they can start to try to refine the pill."

"Those with good talent usually practice for a few months, about a few hundred times, and can only refine one or two furnaces. Moreover, they often only refine a dozen Jade Essence Pills in the first furnace, and the quality is average, with many impurities. Ordinary cultivators are a little disgusted when taking them."

"Those with good talent can probably succeed after a hundred attempts, but the success rate is just average."

"But this is only the first day, and I've already succeeded in refining the third batch. I even produced over fifty pills in one batch, and each one is of top quality..."

Gu Yuan stroked his chin and thought to himself, "It seems that I am now a true genius in the art of alchemy!"

That's what he said, but in fact Gu Yuan still has some idea of ​​his situation - relying on the talent he got from Caiyun, he can make pills with ease.

Then, Gu Yuan continued to refine the elixir.

Since you have such a high talent, you cannot and should not waste it. Of course, you should strike while the iron is hot and practice it more times.

……

"Dong dong dong! Dong dong dong!"

A few days later, Gu Yuan was sorting out the medicinal properties of a ball of elixir when there was a knock on the door.

The sound was loud and a little urgent, which showed that the person knocking on the door was not polite at all.

Gu Yuan frowned, and rolled up the Taiyuan Zhenshui to temporarily seal the elixir.

Then he stood up and walked to the gate of the courtyard. After opening it, he saw a middle-aged man in a brocade robe standing outside.

The man was a bit burly, but had a round face that didn't look aggressive. Judging from his face, he seemed quite friendly, but the aura around him was a bit strange.

When he saw this person, Gu Yuan's expression changed slightly.

It’s not that he recognized this person, but the person in front of him gave him a special feeling.

The man's cultivation level was not very high, at most one or two levels higher than his, but his physique was extremely strong, his energy and blood were vigorous, like a furnace!
Gu Yuan even used his sword heart to sense the divine will on his body. In a trance, he clearly "saw" a mysterious and domineering bronze statue, with a powerful aura and emitting brilliant golden light!
"Could it be that this person has cultivated the body-building magical power?"

Gu Yuan was a little surprised.

The body-building magical power, to put it simply, is actually a more powerful method of horizontal training, which can train the body to be as hard as pure gold and iron and difficult to be damaged by magic weapons.

There are many such supernatural powers in the spiritual world. In Buddhism, there are the Arhat Golden Body, the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Body, the Bodhi Golden Body, the Nirvana Golden Body, etc.

The Taoist ones have the True Martial Body, the Jade Toad True Body, the Pure Yang Body, the Five Thunder Body, and the Immortal Muscles and Jade Bones.

There are even more demonic ones, such as the Deathly Silence Demon Body, the Blood Sea Demon Body, the Bone Demon Body, the Nine Nether Demon Body, and so on.

That’s right, Li Changsheng’s Pure Yang Taoist Body and Sun Zhong’s Five Thunder Body are also an alternative kind of horizontal refining magical power, and they are also innate magical powers.

Once it is fully accomplished, it becomes a different kind of great supernatural power achievement, known as the sanctification of the flesh!

However, if you want to achieve great success, you probably need the primordial spirit.

Before entering Taoism, Gu Yuan also practiced the horizontal training method "Black Turtle Hidden Armor Technique", but later his physique transformed into a water spirit body, and his physique also changed a bit, so he did not practice this kind of skills and supernatural powers again.

Moreover, there is no corresponding magical power in the "Taiyuan Zhenshui Jing".

However, this kind of magical power is relatively more difficult to cultivate, and most cultivators use magical powers, spells, and magic weapons to fight, and there are not many who fight head-on with bare hands.
