Shen Yuan Ring

Ji Daoyi picked up the book "The Art of Fire Control" and began to read it.

Ji Daoyi finished reading "The Art of Fire Control" in a short time.

"As expected of Uncle Sun's insights, the explanation is so detailed." Ji Daoyi closed the book. "It not only explains how to control the flames to refine spiritual herbs when making pills, but this 'Fire Control Technique' can even be used to fight with fire. However, to fight with fire, you must obtain the primordial fire. Ordinary primordial fire does not have a primordial source and cannot be refined and stored in the dantian."

Ji Daoyi was slightly disappointed; the primordial fire wasn't something you could just get by wishing for it.

Encountering such a rare and precious material requires extraordinary luck, let alone capturing and refining it.

He's only thinking about it now; with his current strength, even if he encountered it, he wouldn't be able to refine it, and it would only cause him more trouble.

The primordial fire between heaven and earth is divided into celestial fire and terrestrial fire. There are only 36 celestial fires. Legend has it that when heaven and earth were first created, the divine emperor bestowed 36 seeds of primordial fire as a gift. After tens of thousands of years of transformation, they grew into the strongest primordial fire between heaven and earth.

Heavenly fire has appeared in the world only a handful of times, and every time it appears, it is collected by a powerful Saint Realm Venerable.

Earth Fire, on the other hand, is nurtured by heaven and earth, and there are as many as 72 types. However, less than half of them are ever born. They either remain undiscovered in some remote corner, or they are secretly refined and collected by someone.

The Origin Flame is the most coveted item among all alchemists and weapon refiners, because possessing it allows them to go further in their careers, elevating their alchemy or weapon-refining skills to a new level.

However, the primordial fire that appears is too rare, and even when it does appear, it is fought over by countless powerful individuals.

Therefore, most alchemists use ordinary Yuanmai Fire, which is very easy to obtain. As long as enough Yuan Stones are used, a lot can be cultivated, and any large shop will sell Yuanmai Fire.

The Yuanmai Fire not only lacks primordial power and cannot be refined by humans, it also lacks any special functions, making it seem ordinary compared to the primordial fire.

After finishing reading "The Art of Fire Control," Ji Daoyi casually picked up "The Complete Book of Elixirs" and started reading.

He read for a whole night. If he hadn't already reached the peak of the Skin Refining Realm, he would have fallen asleep long ago after a boring night of reading.

"As expected, the book lives up to its name. The details of the spiritual herbs are indeed quite detailed. I never imagined that it would record tens of thousands of spiritual herbs, and even demonic beasts can be used as spiritual herbs. Now I understand why it is so difficult to become an alchemist. Not to mention that alchemy requires talent, just memorizing so much information about spiritual herbs would take many people a long time."

Ji Daoyi stretched and said, "I'm going to see my mother later. I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of Yuan Technique that can rival the Xuan level is."

In the morning, Ji Daoyi found his mother, Ye Li, and explained his purpose.

"Ah Yi, are you sure you've completely mastered it in just a few days? Or are you teaming up with Da Huang to make me happy?"

Ye Li still finds it hard to believe that Ji Daoyi has mastered the Yuan Techniques and cultivation methods in just a few days. How long has it been?

"Mother, Da Huang and I will practice for you again in a bit. Please give us some pointers and let us see how much I've improved these past few days."

"Alright, let's see just how much Ah Yi has improved!"

After half an hour,

“Mother, how about that? I told you I’m not the same person I was yesterday.”

"My son has indeed made rapid progress. In just a few days, he has not only become more adept at fighting, but he can also go toe-to-toe with Da Huang, who is of equal strength. Moreover, I see that your internal energy is still very abundant."

"That's right, I still have half of my Yuan energy left in my body. Although my cultivation hasn't broken through in the past few days, my strength has increased by several levels."

Hearing his mother's praise made Ji Daoyi even happier.

Before he could even ask for it, Ye Li took out the "Limitless Blade Technique" that he had prepared beforehand from his storage ring. "Ah Yi, I'm giving you this blade technique. It's enough for you to use in the Body Refinement Realm. You can use it as your trump card, but you can't use it in the clan's selection competitions. Try not to reveal your trump card too much to outsiders."

"Thank you, Mother, I will remember that!"

"Go down and break through as soon as possible. Don't stay in the Skin Refining Realm for too long. The Body Refining Realm is just the beginning for you."

After saying goodbye to his mother, Ji Daoyi returned to his room to continue reading the books he had borrowed.

"I have no other secret than practice makes perfect!" These eight characters were prominently displayed on the first page of the "Ji Family Elementary Alchemy Manual." Ji Daoyi immediately recognized that these characters were written by Uncle Sun.

"The Ji Family's Elementary Alchemy Manual" is a collection of different alchemy techniques created by the Ji family through the tireless efforts of several generations, resulting in an alchemy method unique to the Ji family.

Both the success rate of pill formation and the production of the pill garments after pill formation are of superior quality.

The reason why the Sun family was able to join the Ji family hundreds of years ago and eventually lead the Pill Pavilion as the chief alchemist was largely due to the Ji family's alchemy techniques.

"Is this Uncle Sun's winning motto for alchemy? I have no other secret than practice makes perfect. It seems that to become a master alchemist, one must constantly refine pills, accumulating experience time and time again to make up for one's shortcomings. No wonder it is the most expensive profession; ordinary people simply do not have this ability."

As Ji Daoyi delved deeper into the subject, he realized just how profound the art of alchemy truly was.

Learning has no limits, and the sea has no boundaries.

The most important function of alchemy techniques is to stimulate the interaction between spiritual herbs, maximizing their value.

After the elixir is formed into a pill, a special alchemy technique is needed to seal the medicinal power of the pill. This is called the pill coat, which wraps the pill in a thin outer layer. It does not affect the final refining of the pill, but also preserves the medicinal power of the pill from being lost.

Ji Daoyi couldn't help but marvel at the profound wisdom of his ancestors!

The Alchemy Manual is different from the Complete Encyclopedia of Elixir Knowledge; it's not just about memorizing its contents.

It needs to be mastered before alchemy. The "Ji Family Elementary Alchemy Manual" does not require too many hand seals to practice, a total of twenty-four.

The first twelve forms are used to activate the medicinal properties during the fusion of the elixir, while the latter twelve forms are special hand seals for making the elixir garment after it is formed.

After half an hour,

"These hand seals are really difficult. It's been half an hour, and I've only mastered six of them. There can't be any pauses while forming the seals; if there's even the slightest deviation, the seals will fail!"

"But I don't feel there's anything wrong with it. Why is it so hard to solidify the seventh form?"

For a moment, Ji Daoyi didn't know where he had failed. He had followed the steps in the book perfectly and his movements were flawless.

"Should we ask Huang Yaoshi? Or Uncle Sun?" The thought had just arisen when Ji Daoyi put it down. "No, how can I ask someone for help every time I have a problem? That's not independent and it's easy to become dependent. I need to learn to think independently. I must have done something wrong."

Ji Daoyi picked up the alchemy manual again and began to study it, this time with extra care.
