Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 232: Three Yang Pill Fire Technique
Ji An sat cross-legged in the underground fire room, with the Qinglian Fire Cloud Furnace placed in front of him and various medicinal herbs scattered around his body.

He took out the inheritance jade slip, which contained the route planned by his master. As long as he continued to refine it step by step, he would naturally be able to become a first-level alchemist, or even a second-level alchemist.

The fire control technique used in alchemy is derived from the fire control technique, but it has more variations.

The Ningcuiya lineage has a secret Three Yang Dan Fire Technique, which uses magic power to control the flame, allowing the flame in the alchemy furnace to change at will.

The flames used in alchemy are divided into several types, including elixir fire, charcoal fire, and earth fire.

Dan fire is the magic power transformed into flames by cultivators who practice fire-based exercises. Cultivators in the foundation-building stage can use Dan fire.

Cultivators who do not practice fire-based techniques must wait until they break through the Chao Yuan stage before they can use the Yuan Ming fire to simulate the Dan fire.

This is also the reason why most weapon refiners and alchemists choose the fire-based exercises. There is no need to consider which is easier to reach, the Foundation Establishment Stage or the Chaoyuan Stage.

Charcoal fire is spiritual charcoal made from various spiritual woods, and the most common type of spiritual charcoal is made from spiritual plants of the fire and wood elements.

The earth fire relies on the earth lung fire vein, which is more violent and overbearing. It requires the use of magic array to filter out the fire evil in it, and is more widely used in refining equipment.

For alchemists, choosing and controlling fire are indispensable basic skills.

Monks will choose different flames according to the different elixirs they are refining. Sometimes, they need to switch between different flames when refining an elixir in order to maximize the medicinal power of the elixir.

Because it is very difficult to gather a furnace of materials to refine high-level elixirs, the higher the level of the elixir, the higher the requirement for flame.

There are not so many requirements for low-level elixirs. A few spirit stones and a furnace of elixirs are enough, so there is no need to be too picky.

The Three Yang Dan Huo Jue consists of three methods: warming fire, nourishing fire, and moving fire. Depending on the different elixirs being refined and the materials of the alchemy furnace, the techniques will have slight changes.

Warm fire makes the flame spread slowly, warming the alchemy furnace and medicinal materials to extract the medicinal liquid. Nourishing fire means continuously maintaining the intensity of the flame to allow the medicinal liquid to fully blend. Moving fire means controlling the flame to eventually condense the liquid into an elixir.

Things like magic formulas are always superficial when learned from books. There is no need to think too much about them. In a word, just do it.

Ji An lit the Qingling bamboo charcoal, and the warm fire technique bloomed at his fingertips.

He was refining the lowest grade of fasting pills, and using earth fire would increase the difficulty of refining.

The practice of the fire control technique at the great perfection level was not in vain. Ji An quickly mastered some of the mysteries of the Three Yang Dan Fire Technique.

He took the time to sink his mind into his dantian and connect with the stone turtle.

[Spell: Three Yang Dan Fire Technique (Mastery 6%)]

Ji An grinned, I like this progress.

Many of the techniques of the Sanyang Danhuo Jue are extensions of the Fire Control Jue, so this progress is not surprising.

Green flames rose up and licked the alchemy furnace under his control.

The patterns on the Qinglian Fire Cloud Furnace seemed to come alive, with the fire clouds being orange-red and the Qinglian being emerald green, very eye-catching.

'Good baby.'

Ji An secretly praised that although the alchemy furnace given by his master was a magic weapon, it was quite spiritual.

He used the object control technique to open the furnace and poured the yellow rice into it.

His palms flexibly changed the magic spells, and the flame under the furnace remained a light green.

His fire-maintaining technique was similar to that of the old masters who had been operating the furnace for more than ten years. Under the lingering flames, the blue lotus and fire cloud patterns painted on the furnace seemed more vibrant.

The next step is to control the fire. As Ji An's magic formula changes, the flames rise and envelop the entire furnace.

His soul was strong, and he soon gained a deeper understanding of the spells, so these things would not stump him at all.

The light blue flame entered the furnace through the air hole, and a magical scene appeared. The yellow rice that should have been burnt slowly melted like ice under the flame.

Ji An's fingers changed faster and faster, and the yellow rice finally condensed into a ball of spiritual liquid the size of a fist. This was the essence of the extracted spiritual object.

After a series of tempering, the medicinal properties of these essences will be greatly improved.

There were still some residues in the spiritual rice that could not be used for alchemy. He pinched the magic formula to separate the residue from the bottom of the alchemy furnace, and then controlled the flame to slowly decrease.

The temperature of the alchemy furnace slowly cooled down, and the spiritual liquid inside condensed into crystals similar to white sugar, emitting a faint glow.

When these crystals are heated to a certain temperature, they will turn back into spiritual liquid.

Ji An used the Little Cloud and Rain Technique to create artificial rain to clean the furnace. Other alchemists might have to prepare spiritual spring water for cleaning.

This is the advantage of a monk with comprehensive spells. He has spells to deal with any situation.

The purpose of cleaning the furnace is to remove residue and prevent "contamination" of different medicines.

Ji An put medicinal materials such as Polygonatum sibiricum and Ginseng into the alchemy furnace for quenching, and obtained two kinds of crystals.

After cleaning the alchemy furnace again, Ji An began to refine the Qigong Pill in one go.

After all, it is a primary elixir for the Qi Refining Stage. For a cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, the consumption of spiritual consciousness and mana is very small.

After adjusting the proportions, he first put the yellow rice crystals in, and when the spiritual liquid dissolved, he put the other two crystals in at the same time.

After the crystals melt and are fully integrated together, the next step is to divide the pills.

That is, divide the medicinal liquid into equal parts. If there are sufficient materials, one furnace of medicinal liquid can be divided into ten pills.

The alchemist can increase or decrease the number of pills according to the amount of liquid medicine. Pills that require high proficiency are not uncommon for an alchemist to refine dozens of pills in one furnace.

If you encounter a pill that is of high value or of uncertain quality, only two or three pills can be made from a furnace of liquid medicine.

Ji An exhaled slightly. Dividing the pill was the test for him. Everything before that was based on the Fire Control Technique of the Great Perfection level, so it was not difficult.

He controlled the medicine according to the method of dividing the pill in the jade slip, and the medicinal liquid was divided into ten parts like a blooming lotus.

Due to various reasons, several balls of medicinal liquid turned into a puff of green smoke, and finally became six pills.
“It’s not difficult!”

Ji An chuckled. He loved to use his power to overwhelm others.

With his current spiritual power and the level of his magic formula, he could control the steps of alchemy very precisely. He used the object control technique to grab the pills and bring them close to his eyes. Five of the pills had faint white patterns on their surfaces.

Five genuine products and one inferior product.

Ji An crushed the inferior product casually. The poison of this pill was not high, but its medicinal strength was a little insufficient.

He sank his mind into his dantian.

[Spell: Three Yang Dan Fire Technique (Minor Success 36%)]

"Good, call it a day!"

Ji An cleaned the alchemy furnace and fell asleep contentedly.

A month later.

Ji An shouted in a low voice, his internal organs vibrating with his voice and his muscles and bones creaking slightly.

Feeling his body growing more and more exhausted, he slowly stopped practicing, carefully feeling the endless flow of heat in his internal organs, and nodded with satisfaction.

The transformation of his body by the Glazed Gold Jade Bone Body has begun to show results. Now he has abundant Qi and blood, a strong heartbeat, and stronger muscles and bones. He can be compared to a physical cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining.

This is a kind of strength that comes from within, not the superficial strength that comes from taking shortcuts and refining the skin.

He is a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, and he practices the most health-preserving wood-type technique. His body is also nourished by magical power.

With a bird's-eye view, the progress of body training has also advanced by leaps and bounds.

Dharma practitioners have various magical instruments and spells to protect themselves, so if they suffer physical injuries, the damage is often quite serious.

There are also some attacks that cannot be protected by spells, such as sonic attacks.

These attacks are all-pervasive and cannot be resisted by closing the ears, and can cause damage to the internal organs.

The internal organs of physical cultivators are also tough and can withstand sonic attacks.

In addition, physical cultivators are more resistant to toxins, underground evil spirits, etc.

Ji An suddenly felt that he could try the way of practicing both Dharma and physical cultivation.

For example, in the Foundation Establishment Stage, one practices the Qi Refining Stage's body-building techniques, while in the Chaoyang Stage, one practices the Foundation Establishment Stage's body-building techniques.

In this way, the resource requirements will be much lower and the progress of the skills will be faster.

More importantly, it won’t waste too much time.

With the help of the stone turtle, he was able to save a lot of time practicing spells.

When the magic is practiced to a high level, one can comprehend the deeper meaning of the magic, which in turn helps to comprehend the divine intention of the magic.

Because he has accumulated enough spiritual inspiration, he can immediately gain enough power when he breaks through to a higher level.

Ji An returned to the cold pond, casting a long shadow under the setting sun.

He handed a storage bag to Huang Xuan and said:

“There are 460 genuine fasting pills here, including 12 high-quality pills.

You guys will be in charge of sales and see how it goes."

During this period, he refined three furnaces of pills every day and consumed all the medicinal materials.

Currently, the success rate of refining the Qigong pill is over 80%, with six to eight pills being produced each time.

He paused and then said:

"The selling price can be slightly lower than the market price, and you can get 30%."

If you want a horse to run fast, you have to let it eat grass.

Huang Xuan bared his teeth and waved his hands hurriedly:
"Uncle Master, selling the pills is just a matter of saying a few more words. You don't need to pay us extra."

When Chiyan Peak is not busy, he can go out and mention it to the monks he knows nearby, without spending any extra energy.

"Just take what you deserve. Don't be polite. We'll still have to rely on them to sell the pills we refine in the future."

Ji An said that it was not just a matter of helping out occasionally, there would be many places where they would be needed in the future.

There is no need to leave these most common pills to Wei Songnian.

When I can refine pills for Foundation Establishment cultivators, I can save them up.

Huang Xuan took the storage bag and lowered his head slightly:

"Don't worry, Uncle Master, we will do our best.

I will distribute the pills to them now, and we can start selling them tomorrow."

Ji An took out another piece of paper covered with handwriting and handed it over, saying:
"This is the recipe for the Yellow Bud Pill. Please help me purchase 100 ingredients tomorrow. You can withdraw the spirit stones from the warehouse."

There is a small secret vault on Chiyan Peak, which is used to store spirit stones and more valuable spiritual objects.

Of course, the most valuable spiritual objects are all placed in the cave.

Huang Xuan's face lit up with joy. He took the recipe and bowed, saying:
"Congratulations, uncle, on your great progress in alchemy."

Huangya Pill is a pill for cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refining to take to improve their cultivation.

The fact that my uncle started to refine this kind of elixir shows that he has a good grasp of it.

Ji An smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"These improvements are not worth mentioning. Only when I can refine the foundation-building pill can I be considered a true alchemist."

Refining Qi Refining Pills does not allow you to be called an alchemist, you can only be considered an apprentice.
