I have a proficiency panel for alchemy and immortality

Chapter 119 The Law of Conservation of Cultivation
“At present, the proficiency of Changchun Gong has reached the highest level and cannot be improved further.

"So, for the time being, there is no way to speed up my cultivation."

Different exercises have different emphases.

Changchun Gong is a practice mainly for health preservation and youthfulness. Its advantage is not reflected in the speed of practice.

Even though Song Jie has improved his proficiency in Changchun Gong to the Great Dao level, he cannot increase his cultivation speed too much.

"After building your foundation, you must carefully choose a foundation-building technique. At least the speed of cultivation cannot be too slow."

Song Jie sighed softly.

When he traveled through time, the original owner had already practiced Changchun Gong, so there was really nothing that could be done about it.

However, Changchun Gong is not completely useless.

Except for the slow cultivation speed, the performance in other aspects is very good.

“There is no way to expand the meridians for now. If they continue to expand, there will be risks.

“From this perspective, if we want to continue to speed up our cultivation, there are only three ways.

“The first is to eat more spiritual food, but the digestion and absorption of spiritual food is still a bit slow.

“Moreover, if you eat too much spiritual food, you will have excess nutrition and will quickly become fat.

“After becoming fat, various body functions will decline, and some obesity-related symptoms may be triggered.

"Not only will it affect our daily lives, but even our cultivation speed will be affected."

There was a time when Song Jie ate too much spiritual food and gained a lot of weight.

After gaining weight, he obviously felt that he became easily tired, his spiritual energy was not flowing as smoothly, and his cultivation speed slowed down.

A cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage is unable to practice fasting and fetal breathing. In essence, they are still mortals, just mortals with spiritual power in their bodies.

Some diseases that ordinary people may get can also be contracted by cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage if they do not pay attention to their health.

It’s just that the probability of getting sick is much lower than that of ordinary people.

So eating spiritual food can certainly speed up the improvement of your cultivation, but eating too much can also lead to obesity, which in turn causes more complications.

Song Jie's current spiritual food intake once a week is basically enough to satisfy his hunger. If he reduces the frequency of eating spiritual food, he might get fat again.

Unless the technique he practices helps in absorbing spiritual food, it is just right to maintain the current frequency.

After just a brief consideration, Song Jie ruled out the idea of ​​eating more spiritual food.

“The second method is to find a place with abundant spiritual energy for cultivation, or to build a spiritual gathering formation at home.

“With my level of cultivation, if there really is a precious place for cultivation nearby, I don’t think there would be a place for me.

“As for the spirit gathering formation, Xinyue Market does not allow private construction.

“So far, I haven’t heard of anyone being allowed to build a spirit gathering formation in the market town.

"It's quite difficult to implement this method..."

Song Jie sighed softly.

“It seems that there may be only a third way.

"It's time to refine a first-grade elixir that can directly improve your cultivation."

Over the years, as the store has been operating smoothly, Song Jie himself has not encountered any crisis.

So he never developed any new elixirs.

Although he did not develop any new elixirs, Song Jie did not do nothing.

In recent years, Song Jie occasionally took the time to study the use of the jar of spiritual liquid left by Miao Dingshan.

After consulting various books and materials, Song Jie discovered that the jar of spiritual liquid could be used to refine some kind of elixir.

It is a kind of elixir that can directly improve the cultivation level of cultivators after taking it.

In his early years, Song Jie also wondered why there was no magic pill in the world of immortal cultivation that could directly improve one's cultivation level after taking it.

It was not until he studied that jar of spiritual liquid that Song Jie realized that there were elixirs that could directly improve his cultivation.

But that kind of elixir is prohibited from being refined and sold.

It's because the refining of this pill is against the harmony of nature.

The law of conservation of energy is applicable even in the world of immortal cultivation.

If one wants to directly improve one's cultivation level with the help of elixirs, then this elixir must contain a large amount of cultivation level.

During daily practice, cultivators usually judge the level of their cultivation by the strength of their spiritual power.

But cultivation cannot be equated with spiritual power.

Spiritual power is a manifestation of cultivation, but cultivation is not spiritual power.

As for what cultivation specifically is, Song Jie couldn't find the answer for the time being.

But he knew that a cultivator's cultivation would not appear out of thin air, nor would it disappear out of thin air.

As we all know, cultivators can improve their cultivation by practicing certain techniques, but almost no one knows the principles behind it.

Song Jie tried to study this, but didn't find any answers.

This involves the laws of the universe, which are not something a cultivator of his level can study thoroughly.

However, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know the principle, as it does not affect Song Jie’s use of the “Law of Conservation of Cultivation”.

This is the "Law of Conservation of Cultivation" created by Song Jie based on the law of conservation of energy.

After years of exploration, Song Jie discovered that not only would cultivation not appear or disappear out of thin air, it could also be transferred artificially.

For example, before traveling through time, in the martial arts novels that Song Jie had read, imparting skills was a way of transferring one's cultivation.

According to Song Jie's speculation, there should be similar methods in the world of immortal cultivation, which can pass on cultivation to others, or directly absorb cultivation from others.

The former is a transmitted skill, while the latter is an evil skill.

Whether it is imparting cultivation or absorbing cultivation, it is the transfer of cultivation.

It’s a pity that in reality no one is willing to pass on their skills to Song Jie, and Song Jie will not absorb other people’s skills.

Therefore, he could only find another way and achieve the transfer of his cultivation through other methods.

And this method is to make elixirs...

Refine a kind of elixir that can directly improve your cultivation.

According to Song Jie's research over the years, there are two directions if one wants to refine this kind of elixir.

First, there needs to be an alchemist who is willing to consume his own skills and temporarily store them in the elixir.

The person who swallows the pill afterwards can directly absorb the cultivation in the pill and thus improve his or her own cultivation.

This can also be considered a transfer of cultivation, just through a transit point.

But this approach, although feasible, is not very realistic.

I wonder if there is any alchemist who possesses such a fearless spirit of self-sacrifice?

So this is only feasible in theory, but almost impossible to achieve in practice, and it cannot be promoted on a large scale.

Compared with the first direction, the second direction is much more feasible.

Of course, it is also punishable... because this method is against the harmony of nature.

This method is to use cultivators as the raw materials for alchemy, and to refine all their cultivation into the elixir.

The pills made in this way can be called evil pills.

This is also why there are no elixirs on the market that can directly improve one’s cultivation level.

If anyone dares to sell this kind of elixir, he will immediately be identified as an evil cultivator and attacked by many cultivators.

In fact, after these years of research, Song Jie has some confidence in refining this kind of elixir that can directly improve his cultivation.

But he just couldn't get over this hurdle in his mind, thinking that this was an evil pill, and he was hesitant to start refining it.

But now his cultivation progress is slow. If he doesn't speed up his cultivation, he will miss the opportunity to build the foundation of the Heavenly Dao in the Tongtian Secret Realm.

“Based on the current situation, it seems that this is the only way to go.

“There is no distinction between good and evil pills…

“If it is used properly, it will be correct.

“If it is used in an evil way, it will be evil.

"As long as I keep my original intention and know how to handle things properly, it won't be an evil pill." Song Jie comforted himself, trying to get over the hurdle in his heart.

If one only uses people who have committed many evil deeds to make elixirs, then one is punishing the wicked and eliminating evil, rather than doing evil things.

Thinking of this, Song Jie nodded slightly.

He has made up his mind to refine the kind of elixir that can directly improve his cultivation.

But he drew a bottom line for himself.

That is, the raw materials for alchemy can only come from people who have committed heinous crimes, or people who have a life-and-death feud with oneself and must be killed.

He cannot kill people wantonly for the sake of refining pills. If he does that, he will become an evil cultivator.

"Well, as long as I abide by this bottom line, I will still be a good monk who abides by the law."

After repeatedly giving himself several psychological hints, Song Jie gradually accepted the idea of ​​refining the elixir that could directly improve his cultivation.

However, there is no rush to refine the elixir.

After he returns, he will have to take some time to deduce the recipe and do some verification.

Now, of course, the first thing to do is to enjoy today's spiritual meal.

While Song Jie was thinking, the spiritual food he ordered began to be brought over by the waiter one after another and placed on the round table in the private room.

Without waiting for all the dishes to be served, Song Jie and Jin Jiao had already started enjoying the spiritual food.

As soon as a plate is served, he eats it all.

……

After a hearty meal, Song Jie took Jinjiao back home.

Without taking the time to practice the spells and body movements for tonight, Song Jie immediately returned to the house, sat cross-legged on the bed, and started practicing Changchun Gong.

After a while, he entered the state of cultivation.

As for Jinjiao, he returned to his room, lay on his little nest, and fell into a deep sleep.

……

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

In a blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

During the past half month, Song Jie still went to the store to make pills during the day, and took some time at home at night to deduce the recipe of Lingyun Pill.

Lingyun Dan is the name he gave to the elixir that can directly improve one's cultivation.

Although the elixir has not been refined yet, we can give it a name first.

After half a month of deduction, several versions of the formula of Lingyun Dan were deduced.

These are all versions that need to be verified...

At this moment, in the Alchemy Pavilion, in Song Jie's alchemy room.

After refining a furnace of Xuanyang Pills, Song Jie took out a pottery jar from his storage bag.

The seam between the jar mouth and the lid was sealed tightly by Song Jie with beeswax.

What was inside was the spiritual liquid left by Miao Dingshan.

A jar of spiritual fluid filled with impurities.

Today, Song Jie plans to officially start refining Lingyun Dan.

After repeated deductions during this period of time, Song Jie was about 60% to 70% confident in refining Lingyun Dan.

“Before we officially start refining, we need to remove the impurities contained in the spiritual liquid.

"Otherwise, the refined Lingyun Pill will contain many impurities."

These impurities are not ordinary impurities, but impurities with the characteristics of Miao Dingshan's cultivation.

If you take it directly, your cultivation will become mixed and impure.

This will undoubtedly affect the foundation.

Therefore, Song Jie still needs to purify the spiritual liquid in the pottery jar.

As for the method of purification, it is naturally the Qingming Phantom Fire.

Back then, Song Jie used the Qingming Phantom Fire to transform Miao Dingshan into spiritual liquid.

However, back then, both his cultivation and proficiency in the Qingming Phantom Fire were at a low level, and the impurities he could remove were very limited.

Therefore, Song Jie could only refine Miao Dingshan into spiritual liquid back then, and there was no way to purify it further.

Today, Song Jie is already a cultivator at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage, while Miao Dingshan was only at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage back then.

Coupled with Song Jie's Qingming Youhuo, his proficiency has reached the highest level.

To further purify the spiritual liquid is naturally a piece of cake.

However, what Song Jie wanted was not simple purification, but 100% purification.

The Qingming Youhuo in the state of transformation alone cannot achieve 100% purification.

This is to be used to refine the Lingyun Pill. Song Jie hopes that it can be as flawless as possible to avoid any hidden dangers in the future after taking it.

"It's time to raise the proficiency of the Azure Nether Fire to the Great Dao realm."

After his proficiency in Changchun Gong reached the Great Dao realm, Song Jie's appearance became permanent.

Based on the purification properties of the Qingming Youhuo, Song Jie had a hunch that if the Qingming Youhuo was also upgraded to the realm of the Great Dao, it would be very likely that he would gain a 100% purification ability.

Song Jie immediately had an idea and summoned the attribute panel.

Without any hesitation, he directly consumed skill points to raise the proficiency of Qingming Youhuo to the Great Dao realm of 10,000 points.

【Name: Song Jie】

【Shouyuan: 44/90】

[Spiritual roots: wood, fire, earth, metal, water]

[Realm: Qi Refining Stage Sixth Level (1/100)]

[Kung Fu: Changchun Gong (Da Dao 10000)]

【法术：一阳指（大成1780/2000），龙爪手（大成1799/2000），万剑诀（大成1861/2000），青冥幽火（大道10000）】

[Animal Movement: Phantom Step (Perfect 2329/5000)]

[Supernatural power: none]

【技艺：炼丹（一阶）：回春丹（大成1570/2000），复灵丸（大成1598/2000），迷神丸（大成1550/2000），冲脉丹（大成1051/2000），玄阳丹（大成1982/2000），玄阴丹（大成1760/2000），元阳丹（娴熟124/300），辟谷丹（小成549/600）】

[Skill points: 9480 (can be used to improve the proficiency of skills, spells, body movements, magical powers, and techniques)]

In an instant, all kinds of insights about the Qingming Youhuo came to his mind.

After digesting these insights, Song Jie knew that his premonition was correct.

After the Qingming Phantom Fire was upgraded to the Great Dao realm, it did give him the ability to purify it 100%.

This ability is extremely useful for alchemists.

Of course, it is limited to the 100% purification of first-level medicinal materials.

After all, the Qingming Nether Fire is only a spell for the Qi Refining Stage. Even if one cultivates to the Dao realm, it is impossible to purify the second-level and above medicinal materials 100%.

This is the limitation of the law of the Tao.

"There are only 9,480 skill points left..."

Song Jie felt a little distressed.

Just now, he had consumed a total of 4,659 skill points to raise his proficiency in the Qingming Nether Fire to the Great Dao realm.

The further you advance in the later stages, the less useful your skill points become.

The remaining 9,000-plus skill points seemed like a lot, but in fact they were only enough for him to upgrade a spell to the Great Dao realm.

"You should save the remaining skill points for emergencies."

Song Jie nodded slightly, then closed the attribute panel and turned his gaze to the pottery jar containing the spiritual liquid.

"Let's start the purification..."
