I have a proficiency panel for alchemy and immortality

Chapter 44: First Test of Danhuo Technique

After putting away the items on the table, Song Jie first sat cross-legged in meditation, practicing Changchun Gong to restore the spiritual power in his body.

The previous life-and-death fight had consumed all of his spiritual power, and only a little bit of it had been recovered at this moment.

Using the Danhuo technique to refine pills requires the continuous consumption of spiritual energy.

With Song Jie's little remaining spiritual power, he couldn't maintain the Danhuo Technique for long.

So he had to meditate and practice first to restore the spiritual power in his body.

As the Changchun Gong was practiced, the free spiritual energy in the room began to gather into strands of light and penetrated into Song Jie's body.

Following the route of Changchun Gong, the spiritual energy that enters the body is gradually refined into drops of spiritual power, nourishing the dry Dantian.

Two hours later, Song Jie's spiritual power was replenished again.

After slowly exhaling a breath of foul air, Song Jie suddenly opened his eyes, as if a ray of light burst out.

"It seems that my cultivation has improved a bit."

Song Jie's mind moved, he opened the attribute panel and looked at the realm column.

[Realm: Qi Refining Stage 6 (100/)]

"Sure enough, the progress of cultivation has improved a bit."

When he was practicing Changchun Gong just now, scenes of the previous life-and-death fight kept flashing in his mind.

Each picture seems to represent a hint of insight, which is constantly digested during the practice.

When all these insights were digested, the cultivation level naturally improved a little.

“It seems that life-and-death battles not only help improve the proficiency of spells and body movements, but also speed up the improvement of cultivation.

"It's really unreasonable to bet your life without these improvements.

"But even so, I still have to try my best to avoid life-and-death fights with others. This is a survival philosophy that cannot be shaken!"

Faintly, Song Jie felt that his determination to pursue the Tao seemed to have become much stronger.

"Let's start refining the elixir..."

He stood up and walked to the stove. With a thought, the technique of casting the Qingming Phantom Fire naturally emerged in Song Jie's mind.

A palm was opened and pointed at the iron pot on the stove.

With a "boom" sound, a cluster of faint blue flames suddenly emerged from the big iron pot.

After feeling it silently, a gleam of surprise appeared in Song Jie's eyes.

"There is no flame temperature, and it seems that it is unable to transmit light energy."

Song Jie had a feeling that if he released the Green Nether Fire in a pitch-black environment, he might not be able to use it as a lighting tool.

That is to say, in a pitch-black environment, one can only see the existence of the Qingming Youhuo itself, but cannot see the things around it.

“Is this the Danhuo technique?

"It is indeed quite magical, and fundamentally different from normal flames."

After feeling it for a while, Song Jie stretched out his other hand and put the medicinal ingredients for the Vajra Dragon Tiger Pill into the pot one by one.

The next moment, under the cover of the Qingming Phantom Fire, all kinds of medicinal materials in the pot made a sizzling sound.

Song Jie watched helplessly as the medicinal herbs were gradually melted into a paste by the Qingming Phantom Fire, which kept twisting and changing shape.

It was as if an invisible hand was kneading the paste.

While maintaining the Qingming Youhuo, Song Jie observed the quality of the paste.

"It should be almost done. It can become a pill."

Smelling the medicinal aroma wafting from the pot, Song Jie vaguely felt an evil fire rising in his stomach.

His eyes immediately focused, and he controlled the Qingming Phantom Fire to separate the paste into smaller clumps of paste.

Then, under the calcination of the Qingming Phantom Fire, the clumps of paste gradually collapsed towards their respective centers, their volume continued to shrink, and their shapes gradually became rounder.

In the end, it magically turned into round pills.

"It worked!" Seeing the pill taking shape successfully, Song Jie's eyes suddenly lit up, and then the Green Netherworld Fire dissipated.

He took the Vajra Dragon Tiger Pill out of the pot, picked up a pill, and looked at it carefully.

“Just from the appearance, it is more round and shiny than the Diamond Dragon Tiger Pills that we refined before, and it looks quite good.

"There are also fewer impurities. Just smelling the scent makes me feel good, and the efficacy of the medicine has been significantly enhanced."

Song Jie quickly picked up a few other Vajra Dragon Tiger Pills and observed them for a while.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... they are all of top quality."

This was the first time he refined the top quality Vajra Dragon Tiger Pill.

Before this, he could only refine the fasting pills of superior quality.

“This Danhuo technique is really useful. The speed of refining a pot of Vajra Dragon Tiger Pill is almost twice as fast as before.

“However, my spiritual power is consumed really quickly. Just refining one pot has consumed almost half of my spiritual power.

“No wonder it takes a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining to refine a first-grade pill. With the spiritual power of a cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining, it would be difficult to persist until the moment of pill formation.”

Song Jie couldn't help but smacking his lips.

Although the alchemy effect of Danhuoshu is good, it also consumes a lot of spiritual energy.

With his spiritual power at the third level of Qi Refining, it was only enough to refine two pots of pills.

“Another advantage of using the Danhuo technique to refine pills is that you don’t have to rub the pills, you can directly control the Danhuo and compress the pills into shape.

“The pills refined in this way will be more round and smooth in appearance.

“It can also lock the medicinal power inside the pill, slowing down the loss of the medicinal power.

"To put it simply, the elixir made by the Pill Fire Technique will have a longer shelf life."

After only one refining, Song Jie discovered the many wonderful uses of Danhuoshu.

"No wonder the pills made by first-level alchemists are of better quality."

Song Jie sighed, and then continued to refine the next pot of Vajra Dragon Tiger Pill.

Song Jie did not use the Danhuo technique to refine this pot.

After experiencing this life-and-death battle, Song Jie has made up his mind to maintain at least half of his spiritual power in his daily life.

Try not to use up all your spiritual energy. Even at home, there is no guarantee that you will not be attacked.

When you go out, you must be in full spiritual power state.

Although this method cannot make full use of one's spiritual power, it is safer.

Several days passed like this.

"Huh... I finally finished refining all the pills."

This time, the total time he spent on refining the elixir was about a day and a half less than before.

On the one hand, there is the help of the Qingming Phantom Fire.

Every time Song Jie’s spiritual power was fully recovered, he would use the Qingming Nether Fire to refine a pot of pills.

On the other hand, the pill-rolling mold helped him improve the efficiency of pill-rolling, and it was not hot to the touch.

During the first two times he set up the stall, he had already given the design drawings to Li Caiwei, asking her to take them back and ask her husband to help make a mold for making pills.

Li Caiwei was also very efficient. She brought the mold to Song Jie when Song Jie set up his stall last time.

Because the two were old acquaintances and had received guidance from Song Jie before, business improved a lot after they got a sign.

So Li Caiwei only charged Song Jie five spirit stones, which was almost the cost price.

"This pot of Yuan Yang Pills was not refined using the Azure Nether Fire, but it is surprisingly of top quality. Could it be that my proficiency has improved?"

Looking at the round Yuanyang Pill on the chopping board, Song Jie's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

Then, he thought about it and opened the property panel.
