Beauty helps me achieve immortality

For three consecutive days, Zhao Qing stayed in his bedroom to study the marrow cleansing pill. Apart from eating and practicing dual cultivation, he did nothing else.

Although the Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Qi Gathering Pill are both low-grade, low-level pills, the refining methods are completely different and require extremely stringent control over spiritual energy.

The most critical step is to turn tiger bones into medicinal liquid. This step is not too difficult. The real problem is how to assist the medicine and ensure that its efficacy can be fully retained.

It took Zhao Qing three days just to understand the medicinal properties of a few medicines.

Without sufficient confidence, he didn't dare to start refining the elixir.

After all, he could only try a few times with the piece of tiger bone in his hand. If all failed, not only would he not be able to break through the realm, but it would also affect the efficiency of refining the subsequent Qi Gathering Pill.

"Two liang of medicine... can open five furnaces. How about giving it a try?"

Zhao Qing enjoyed his wife's gentle shoulder massage service and considered it carefully.

"Forget it, let's open a furnace."

What you learn from books is always superficial. You must practice it yourself to truly understand it.

"Shuyue, prepare the medicine. Two liang of tiger bone, two qian of honeysuckle, one liang each of deer bite and Eucommia ulmoides, and two spoons of honey..."

In the past two days, Zhao Qing has trained his wife to be his assistant. Apart from anything else, she has no problem in memorizing the medicinal herbs in her hands.

A Red Snake Technique was used, and the fire in the furnace rose.

The tiger bones were put into the furnace. Zhao Qing controlled the spiritual energy to penetrate into the casserole to protect the bone marrow. He then put honeysuckle and other herbs in and began to try to extract the medicinal properties of the tiger bones.

The shadows in the sunlight gradually tilt and time flies.

Beads of sweat gradually appeared on Zhao Qing's forehead, and his wife considerately lifted her sleeves to wipe them.

"Bring Minggui." He asked for another medicinal ingredient and temporarily changed the order of using the medicine based on pharmacology and the alchemist's intuition.

If nothing is done, the medicinal properties of tiger bones will be difficult to preserve.

……

Half an hour later, with a slight strange sound, Zhao Qing slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.

The wife asked nervously, "Did my husband succeed?"

Zhao Qing frowned slightly and opened the casserole to check. A pill that was two times larger than an ordinary pill was lying quietly inside.

In a way, this was a success.

However, due to insufficient control over spiritual energy, the medicinal properties of tiger bones were not fully preserved in the initial stage, and the effect of the pill should be only about 60% to 70%.

Moreover, the proficiency level of the Marrow Cleansing Pill did not appear on the virtual panel.

"It can be considered a success." Zhao Qing nodded slightly.

It is very difficult to make a successful pill the first time.

However, after this practice, he discovered a problem. With his current ability to control spiritual energy, it would be extremely difficult to fully preserve the medicinal properties of tiger bones.

The wife silently handed over the water cup and said softly, "I think the pill is very beautiful... Is there something on my mind, husband?"

Zhao Qing drank some water to moisten his throat and shared his current situation with his wife. Although it was of no help, having an audience could always help him relieve some of his worries.

"At my current level, it's extremely difficult to preserve the medicinal properties of tiger bones, but without the Marrow Cleansing Pill, I can't improve my level..."

Wang Shuyue's eyes turned and she said, "Husband, why don't you try this pill to see if it can help you break through."

"If that doesn't work, Shuyue has a solution."

Oh?

Do you have any idea?

Zhao Qing looked at his wife suspiciously, wanting to see what crooked ideas his little wife could come up with.

"Since two ounces of tiger bone can't fully retain its medicinal properties, why not increase the amount of tiger bone used as medicine? As long as the final medicinal properties are maintained at a reasonable level... isn't that possible?"

Zhao Qing smiled and shook his head: "Shuyue, you think too simply. If the dosage is changed, the dosage of each ingredient must also be changed, which is difficult to achieve."

"Try two more times. If it doesn't work, I'll have to wait and buy another one later."

The girl shook his arm close to him and said, "Husband, why don't you give it a try? What if there's a chance?"

What if there is no chance...

"If we change the amount of tiger bone used in the medicine, we can only try three times with the remaining herbs, not to mention that there is almost no chance of success."

The wife shook her head, picked up the recipe her husband had written, and said, "According to what you said, honeysuckle, deer bite, eucommia bark, and honey are all used to protect the medicinal properties of tiger bone. We only need to change the dosage of these four herbs."

"The honeysuckle is supposed to form that layer of liquid film. Only two grams of honeysuckle are used as medicine, so there shouldn't be any changes. The only things that need to be adjusted are the deer bite and eucommia ulmoides dosages!"

"It's the same as cooking. The only difference is the oil and salt."

Zhao Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly as he listened to his wife's arguments.

It's easy to say, but how can this be the same as cooking? If you can do it, then try it!

Wang Shuyue has been studying with her husband for three days. Now that she is in high spirits, she feels that her plan is more feasible.

"Husband, please give it a try! If it doesn't work, Shuyue will be at your disposal tonight!"

?

Zhao Qing slowly turned around and looked at his shy wife: "Aren't you just letting me do whatever I want?"

"Forget it, since Shuyue thinks it's feasible, then I will give it a try. If I fail, someone will be punished tonight!"

As he spoke, he picked up the larger pill in the casserole and swallowed it.

If this pill is enough to help him break through, there is no need to waste medicinal materials. He can wait until his control over spiritual energy improves before refining it.

The aroma of the elixir is everywhere, and there is a faint sweetness in the mouth, which is the effect of the honey jelly.

But after a moment, Zhao Qing felt varying degrees of pain in his muscles, bones and meridians, and a feeling of heat in the center of his back.

It is like a flaming dragon running through the spine, rising from the coccyx, passing through the Jiaji Pass, and rushing straight to the occipital bone.

The circulation speed of spiritual energy also increased a lot. The spiritual energy accumulated in the dantian was ready to move and began to run throughout the body, but finally had to stop at the tailbone gate.

Zhao Qing suddenly realized that the accumulated spiritual energy was more than enough. He only needed the spiritual energy to break through the tailbone, and he would be able to break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining in an instant!

He became excited. Although this semi-finished product did not achieve the expected effect, it did have some effect.

"It's still a little short, so let's do as Shuyue said and start another furnace to prepare the medicine!"

This time, Zhao Qing used three taels of tiger bones, one tael and three qian of deer fang and Eucommia ulmoides each, and kept the other quantities unchanged. Based on the experience of the first refining, he tried to use spiritual power to control the retention of the medicinal properties of the tiger bones.

The girl lay on the table, staring at her husband in a daze, her ears burning from time to time...

As wisps of spiritual energy entered the furnace, Zhao Qing's face became paler and paler. This was a little more difficult than the first time, but perhaps because he had just taken the marrow cleansing pill, he could clearly feel that now he could use the spiritual energy as easily as with his own fingers, much smoother than before.

This is only the effect of the semi-finished marrow cleansing pill.

This shows how important foundation and talent are to cultivation. The Marrow Cleansing Pill only supplements some of the aptitude for strengthening the tendons, bones, and meridians. Only those cultivators with true talent can achieve rapid progress, unmatched by ordinary people.

A tree that can be embraced by two people grows from a tiny seed; a nine-story tower starts from a pile of earth. The roots and bones are the starting point of everything for a cultivator. It was not until this moment that Zhao Qing truly understood the horror of spiritual roots and spiritual bodies.

Those cultivators with good qualifications probably don’t have any worries about not being able to break through, right?

Zhao Qing's thoughts were flying, and the circulation of his spiritual energy became more and more exquisite, followed by a dull sound of the furnace falling.

The marrow cleansing pill is ready!

"Is the pill ready?!"

The clear voice of his wife rang in his ears, and she couldn't wait any longer.

Zhao Qing was extremely surprised. He turned around and took his wife's arm. "My Shuyue is really smart. I have decided to reward you handsomely tonight!"

The girl's watery eyes were startled for a moment, and then she reacted: "No! You scoundrel!"

After a while of playing, Zhao Qing opened the casserole and carefully admired the real marrow cleansing pill for a moment.

Eat it and breaking through the middle stage of Qi Refining will be no problem!
