Above the source of Tao

Yun Chang'an was practicing his skills at this moment to raise the temperature in the alchemy furnace. As for how high the temperature should be, the Alchemy Manual said that if a spiritual herb is thrown into the alchemy furnace, it will not be burned to ashes immediately, but will last for a cup of tea. The spiritual herb will still not change its characteristics, and there will be no obvious changes in appearance, which means it is a success.

So Yun Changan took a gentian and threw it in. Instantly, the gentian caught fire. Fortunately, Yun Changan reacted quickly and dodged for a moment, so he was not burned by the flames. The gentian was reduced to ashes.

Yun Changan thought to himself that the step of starting the fire was so difficult. This time the temperature in the furnace was too high and could not be controlled. The spiritual herbs turned into ashes in an instant.

"This fire temperature is difficult to control."

Then, when the temperature inside the furnace cools down to room temperature, the ignition step is carried out.

bang...

The flames shot up three feet high and burned a magical herb to ashes.

"No, come again."

……

Three hours later, after another failure, Yun Chang'an sat cross-legged on the ground, holding his chin and began to ponder. The quality of this alchemy furnace was not very high, but he had tried more than thirty times, and each time he controlled the flame to reduce the burning time of the furnace, but the temperature of the furnace was still too high. He put the spiritual herbs in, and they were burned to death after a while, which meant that the temperature inside the furnace was too high. If he could lower the temperature, he would definitely succeed.

"Lower the temperature, lower the temperature..." Yun Chang'an was sitting on the ground, muttering.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up. It would be a good idea to lower the temperature.

Then, he took a wooden barrel from the side room and placed it inside the house. He drew water from the well and poured it into the barrel. He placed the alchemy furnace in the barrel and then began to try to start a fire to burn the furnace. He then put the spiritual herbs in it and saw that the spiritual herbs were not burned to ashes immediately, but maintained their original appearance.

Yun Chang'an was overjoyed, but after ten breaths, the spiritual herb withered at a speed visible to the naked eye until it turned into ashes.

At this moment, the room was filled with steam, just like the mountains that enveloped the inner gate of Shangyang Sect, wrapping the small house in it, and nothing could be seen within three steps.

"There is hope, it can be done, but ordinary water cannot withstand the burning of the Yuan Fire."

Yun Chang'an was not disappointed by this failure. Instead, he looked happy. The fact that this elixir could last for more than ten breaths proved that this method worked.

But ordinary water cannot resist the internal fire, so he can only rely on the water energy in his body to resist the fire energy. He poured out the water in the wooden barrel without hesitation, then collected his mind, practiced the skills, transformed the water in his body into a shape, and placed it in the wooden barrel.

Then he started the step of starting a fire. After half a cup of tea, the elixir still maintained its original appearance. Yun Changan knew that his method worked.

Then the Yuan Water fluctuated with joy, and then the temperature of the Yuan Fire quickly took the upper hand, and the spiritual grass turned into ashes as expected.

"I was careless and happy too early!"

Yun Chang'an touched his face and couldn't help laughing to himself. An arrogant army will surely be defeated. Without the final success, it would be better to forget about it happily.

"This is a big taboo!"

So, Yun Changan calmed down his mood, waited until the temperature of the furnace dropped, and started another attempt. This time, Yun Changan restrained his smile and focused on starting the fire. He focused on controlling his Yuanhuo and Yuanshui, not daring to be careless.

Half an hour later, Yun Chang'an looked at the spiritual herbs in the alchemy furnace and saw no change. Yun Chang'an then collected his vital energy. At this time, Yun Chang'an was very weak and the vital energy in his body was almost exhausted. He then practiced his skills again to replenish his vital energy.

"Alchemy is really a laborious and exhausting task."

Yun Changan sighed, "I don't know what kind of existence the alchemists in this world are. They must be outstanding. It's not easy to stick to the art of alchemy."

Then, Yun Changan started the next step, refining the elixir into a shape. This step was very important for the control of the flame and could not afford to be careless.

Another three hours passed, and this training took an unknown amount of time. Fortunately, Yun Changan persisted. The elixir was only a little bit away from being completely refined. But when the last bit was being refined, the cyclone formed by the elixir in the furnace instantly dissipated.

"No, this is a failure?"

Yun Changan was stunned and puzzled by this sudden failure.

After trying for seven days, he still failed. Yun Changan's face was filled with worry. He really couldn't figure out what went wrong that led to this final failure.

"Could it be that I really don't have the talent for alchemy?"

This made Yun Changan fall into self-doubt. After thinking for a long time, he still didn't know the reason for his failure.

The refining of essence into qi always occurs at the last step. There are no problems before that. The reason for the failure must be that it occurred when refining a trace of spiritual herbs at the last moment.

When all the spiritual herbs were transformed into gaseous form, they lost their shape and could not suppress the gas transformed from the spiritual herbs, so the spiritual energy dissipated. So how to suppress it in the alchemy furnace became the key to the problem.

At this time, Fairy Shichen once said, "Among all things, the earth and gold qi are heavy." Perhaps I can try to add these two kinds of qi into the step of refining essence and transforming it into a shape.

Without hesitation, I started experimenting immediately.

When it came to the last step of refining essence into qi, Yun Chang'an tried to add his own earth and gold energy. Seeing that the cyclone in the alchemy furnace was expanding step by step and finally remaining in the furnace, he did not dare to be careless. As the last bit of spiritual herbs was refined, the cyclone stopped expanding and swirled in the alchemy furnace.

"It really works."

Yun Changan sighed. He had been trying at this step for seven days and now he had finally succeeded. Yun Changan's constant failures had severely hit his self-confidence. He even wanted to give up more than once, but looking at the tenth meridian he had found, he was unwilling to stop here.
