Immortals Step into Heaven

So although it was a bit hard for Junior Brother Zheng to work as an alchemy boy for Uncle Xiao, the alchemy knowledge he learned was much more solid.

If Junior Brother Zheng has achieved academic success and can't stand Uncle Xiao's temper, he can look for another place, which is not unrelated.

Hearing what Senior Brother Li Zhe said, Zheng Yuan was also a little surprised! Anyway, since we are here, let's do it first!

Thank you, Brother Li, for clearing up my doubts. It has helped me to be mentally prepared, Zheng Yuan said with a fist salute.

It's okay, as long as you don't blame me, Li Zhe said with a smile

Senior Brother Li, you are too kind. Isn't this also an opportunity for me? Zheng Yuan said with a smile.

Hahaha, Junior Brother Zheng is really a wonderful person! I hope Junior Brother can learn something, Li Zhe laughed.

Soon, the two arrived at the Alchemy Hall. This Alchemy Hall had many buildings, each symmetrically connected to the other, giving people a strong visual impact. Li Zhe led Zheng Yuan through the Alchemy Hall and came to a courtyard called Danhuo Pavilion.

When Zheng Yuan and Li Zhe entered Danhuo Pavilion, they saw an old man with messy white hair and clothes that looked like they hadn't changed for a long time.

Uncle-master Xiao, your disciple Li Zhe from the Mission Hall has brought you a boy who is good at refining pills. Li Zhe said to Uncle-master Xiao with a respectful look on his face.

"Junior Brother Zheng, why don't you come and pay your respects to Uncle Master Xiao?" Li Zhe turned around and said to Zheng Yuan expressionlessly.

Disciple Zheng Yuan greeted Uncle Xiao and bowed to him again, saying respectfully:

Xiao Yuan glanced at Zheng Yuan and said lightly, "Okay, you stay!" Then he said to Li Zhe, "I'll take him, you can go!"

Li Zhe respectfully responded to Xiao Yuan, bowed, and turned away.

After watching Li Zhe leave, Xiao Yuan took out a jade slip and threw it to Zheng Yuan, saying, "Take a look at this jade slip first. There are empty rooms here and you can stay here. I still have a furnace of pills to refine, so I need to go into seclusion for a while." After that, he turned and left.

Zheng Yuan was also a little confused. What was going on? He was free the moment he arrived, but it wasn't bad.

Zheng Yuan found a room to stay in, took out the jade slip and started reading it. This was the "Basics of Alchemy".

Explain the basic methods and techniques of alchemy. Qi Refining Stage alchemy relies on wood fire and earth fire. Earth fire is hard to find, so wood fire is generally used. Wood fire is the fire produced by the burning of spiritual wood. The spiritual iron wood in the Ironwood Valley is very suitable for Qi Refining Stage disciples to make alchemy.

Innate true fire will be produced in the bodies of cultivators in the foundation-building stage, so they do not use wood fire, but use the innate true fire in their bodies to refine pills. There is also a kind of spiritual fire that can be used to refine pills.

Spiritual fire is very difficult to find and extremely violent. It is also very dangerous to refine it. If you are not careful, you will end up burning yourself.

The properties of spiritual herbs, some of which have fire attributes, some have water attributes, and the two opposing attributes need to be harmonized. There are also some very complex alchemy techniques.

Zheng Yuan was a bit overwhelmed by the details. For example, the order in which the spiritual herbs should be added, the amount, and the temperature of the fire. A single mistake could lead to failure. This alchemy basics book only provided a general introduction to alchemy. There was no recipe.

This made Zheng Yuan a little disappointed.

Zheng Yuan couldn't help but think of the Cang Gong Pavilion. The Thousand Herbs Map should contain explanations of the characteristics of many spiritual medicines.

Zheng Yuan left the Alchemy Valley and came to the Hidden Merit Pavilion in the Danqing Valley.

Seeing Elder Wang, disciple Zheng Yuan paid his respects to Elder Wang. He said that he came here to exchange some travel notes for reading. After saying that, he handed his identity token to Elder Wang.

After Elder Wang took the identity token, he said, "Go in."

Zheng Yuan entered the first floor of the Hidden Merit Pavilion and quickly found the Thousand Herbs Atlas and the Five Kingdoms Biographies. He took the two jade slips to the entrance of the Hidden Merit Pavilion and handed them to Elder Wang. He also took out ten spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them to Elder Wang.

Elder Wang took the jade slip, copied it twice and gave it to Zheng Yuan.

Zheng Yuan returned to his room at Danhuo Pavilion and took out the Thousand Herbs Atlas. It contained thousands of spiritual flowers, herbs, and trees. It also had descriptions of their effects and uses clearly documented.

Seeing the Thousand Herbs Atlas, Zheng Yuan was filled with joy. The five spirit stones were well worth the money spent. Even the patterns of the spirit flowers, spirit herbs, and spirit trees were very clear on it.

In the future, Zheng Yuan would not miss out on spiritual flowers, herbs, or trees just because he didn't recognize them. Putting down the Thousand Herbs Atlas, Zheng Yuan picked up the Five Kingdoms Biographies and began to read.

Among the five kingdoms, Gushan Kingdom and Luoyan Kingdom are the territories of the Demon Sect, with several very powerful Demon Sects, such as the Demon Cloud Sect, the Corpse Refining Sect, the Shura Sect, the Fire Demon Sect, etc. The Demon Sects are extremely bloodthirsty and will kill people to steal treasures at any time.

He is very aggressive and his personal strength is much stronger than that of the righteous monks. After all, the demon monks fight very frequently. You should be more careful when you encounter the demon monks in the future.

A hundred years ago, there was a late Jindan cultivator from the Shura Sect.

He was extremely powerful, with unparalleled demonic might and powerful magic skills. He had no rivals among the Jindan cultivators. He defeated the Three Kingdoms Righteous Alliance, forcing the Jindan cultivators to retreat.

He became the recognized number one Jindan cultivator in the five nations, and was rumored to have even escaped the hands of a Yuanying cultivator. He was instantly in the spotlight. Seeing this, Zheng Yuan was filled with admiration, wondering if he himself would ever become a Jindan cultivator.

"Look at the demeanor of a Jindan cultivator. However, the Jindan is still too far away for Zheng Yuan now. If he encounters a Qi Refining Stage demon cultivator in the future, it's better to avoid him as much as possible," Zheng Yuan thought to himself. He knew his own strength very well.

.

Yunlan, Qingmu, and Tianshui are all righteous sects. Yunlan is the weakest nation, and its immortal cultivation sect is much weaker than the other two nations, while Tianshui is the strongest.

Tianshui Country is close to the sea, and its geographical environment is unique. Its cultivation resources are abundant, far surpassing those of Yunlan Country and Qingmu Country. Furthermore, it has some connections overseas.

However, Tianshui Kingdom also has this problem. Luoyan Kingdom is a constraint, and the two countries have occasional frictions. Luoyan Kingdom is also close to the sea, and the two countries often fight for sea territory.

The seas were teeming with monsters, and the Five Kingdoms were merely an inland region compared to the seas. The overseas cultivation world was far more prosperous and powerful. This overseas cultivation world was known as the Thousand Cities Sea Region, but the biographies of the Five Kingdoms contained only a few brief mentions of it.

Zheng Yuan was deeply shocked by what he saw. "Turbulent waves, surging waves" were not enough to describe his current state of mind. He still remembered what Senior Li had said about the Central Divine Land. He couldn't imagine how vast this Hunling Continent truly was.

Zheng Yuan put down the Five Kingdoms Biographies, calmed down, and considered his future path. After becoming an outer disciple, the spirit stones and elixirs issued by the sect had not increased. It was still the same: ten spirit stones for a bottle of Guiyuan Pill.

Guiyuan Pills were no longer enough for Zheng Yuan, who had reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. To obtain more resources, he could either become an alchemist and make money by refining spiritual pills.

However, it is not easy to be an alchemist. Without natural talent, it is just wishful thinking. You also need a certain level of status. It is common to have furnace explosions and failures while refining.
