Chapter 48: Refining a First-Class Elixir

Song Jie walked to the stove, prepared the ingredients for the rejuvenation pill, and put them aside.

In his mind, he reviewed the recipe of the Rejuvenation Pill and the refining techniques he had acquired through meditation.

Unlike those inferior elixirs, the medicinal materials for first-grade elixirs do not need to be processed.

The medicinal materials for first-grade elixirs are mostly spiritual plants with spiritual properties, the flesh and blood of monsters, various crystal minerals, etc.

If it is processed, the spirituality of the medicinal materials will be lost, and the final elixir will not be a first-grade elixir, but a low-grade elixir.

However, it is difficult to make pills from unprocessed medicinal materials using ordinary methods.

This is why it is necessary to master the art of alchemy fire in order to refine elixirs.

Through the Danhuo technique, unprocessed medicinal materials can be melted together, thereby increasing the chances of making an elixir while retaining their spirituality.

“The medicinal materials of the first-grade elixir can be divided into main medicine, auxiliary medicine and medicine guide.

“Among them, the main medicine is the core ingredient of the first-grade elixir, which is usually some spiritual plants and the flesh and blood of monsters.

“The main function of adjuvant drugs is to enhance the efficacy of the main drug or to moderate the side effects of the main drug.

"The function of the medicine guide is to guide the efficacy of the main medicine and auxiliary medicine to better exert its effects, making the effect of the pill more obvious."

After reviewing the knowledge points about the first-grade elixir, I turned my attention to the main ingredient of the rejuvenation pill.

"Fulong ginseng, Banyao grass, Longwen grass, Andrographis paniculata...

"These herbs have extremely strong vitality and recovery power, and can help monks heal their wounds quickly."

Song Jie nodded, and looked at the auxiliary medicine and medicine guide next to the main medicine.

“The silver moon flower is rich in spiritual energy and medicinal properties, and can interact with the main ingredients of the elixir to enhance the efficacy of the elixir and reduce the side effects of the elixir.

“Using Silver Moon Flower as a supplementary medicine is indeed a very good choice.

"As for the last medicine, the Firefly Grass, it has the function of gathering spiritual energy, which can help other medicinal materials to be better integrated and refined, and improve the quality of the finished pill."

Looking at the medicinal ingredients for the rejuvenation pill, Song Jie couldn't help but feel emotional.

“As one of the essential first-grade elixirs for Qi Refining cultivators, there are at least dozens of recipes for the Rejuvenation Pill, if not hundreds.

"The recipe of the rejuvenation pill of the Danding Sect is indeed unique. It is worthy of being a sect famous for its alchemy in Yunmozhou."

Although he had not started refining the rejuvenation pill yet, Song Jie could already foresee from the medicinal properties of these herbs that the rejuvenation pill could be refined according to this recipe.

In terms of healing effect, it is definitely better than the rejuvenation pill produced by Baodanlou that he had taken before.

As for why Baodan Tower did not have the Danding Sect's rejuvenation pill formula, Song Jie only thought about it for a moment and got the answer.

Even though Lin Youtian, the young master of Baodan Tower, is a true disciple of Danding Sect, he probably cannot pass on the Danding Sect's pill recipes to outsiders at will.

"Next, let's start refining."

After becoming familiar with the medicinal properties of each herb, Song Jie turned his gaze to the large iron pot in front of him and slowly extended his palm.

With a "boom" sound, a cluster of blue flames appeared in the pot.

Without hesitation, he immediately threw the main ingredients of the rejuvenation pill into the Qingming Phantom Fire.

With another "teng" sound, the dark blue Qingming Nether Fire suddenly jumped up.

Soon, a "sizzling" sound came from the fire.

Under the calcination of the Qingming Nether Fire, these main ingredients began to melt one after another.

Yes, it melts, not burns.

As the main medicine melted, violent spiritual energy began to attack randomly, causing the Qingming Nether Fire to constantly change its shape.

This is a completely different feeling from the previous time when he was refining low-quality elixirs.

Seeing this, Song Jie did not panic. He quickly put the auxiliary medicines and medicine leads beside him into the Qingming Nether Fire one by one.

With the addition of Silver Moon Flower and Firefly Grass, the form of the Blue Nether Fire gradually became stable.

"Huh~" Seeing that the spiritual energy in the Qingming Youhuo had calmed down a lot and was no longer attacking randomly, Song Jie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, his forehead was already slightly sweaty.

The refining of a first-grade elixir was more mentally demanding than he had imagined, and required him to maintain a high level of mental concentration at all times.

Especially the control of Danhuoshu requires quite high level.

Song Jie continuously outputs spiritual power to maintain the Qingming Phantom Fire.

At the same time, he controlled the Qingming Youhuo with his mind, so that the main medicine, auxiliary medicine and medicine guide were always in a coordinated state.

When using the Qingming Phantom Fire to refine the Vajra Dragon and Tiger Pill before, there was no need to pay attention to these things at all. As long as you mindlessly melt the medicinal materials together, you can make the pill.

The refining of a first-grade elixir obviously cannot be done mindlessly; it requires constantly guiding the spirituality of the medicinal materials.

Just when Song Jie thought everything was going well.

Suddenly, a ball of dark flames rose up from the Qingming Dark Fire and began to vibrate violently.

"Shit, this is going to blow up!"

As soon as Song Jie finished speaking, the spiritual energy in the Qingming Nether Fire suddenly shrank, and then burst out in all directions.

"Bang~"

As the explosion sounded, Song Jie's Qingming Phantom Fire was instantly dispersed and annihilated in the explosion.

"Why did it suddenly explode..."

Looking at the thick smoke rising from the iron pot in front of him, Song Jie's face was full of confusion.

He just followed the instructions on the recipe and it went awry...

At this time, the thick smoke on the iron pot had become a little lighter, and through the smoke, a hole could be vaguely seen.

Obviously, this big iron pot, which has been in service for at least ten years, was officially retired today.

Fortunately, the shock wave of the explosion was not too strong, and the stove remained intact.

Ignoring the smoky makeup on his face and a few strands of burnt hair, Song Jie frowned in thought, reviewing the details of the alchemy he had just made.

"It's because the spirituality in the herbs was not coordinated well, causing a conflict, so the spiritual energy exploded."

After finding the general reason, Song Jie smiled and shook his head.

"The proficiency of the Azure Nether Fire and the Rejuvenation Pill is too low. In addition, the iron pot is used to refine the first-grade elixir, so failure is normal."

Song Jie had been mentally prepared for this result and did not feel disappointed.

Although he had previously used skill points to comprehend the Azure Nether Fire and the Rejuvenation Pill.

But this only means that he has initially mastered the casting of the Qingming Phantom Fire and the refining of the Rejuvenation Pill.

Currently, his proficiency in the Azure Nether Fire is only 12 points, and his proficiency in the Rejuvenation Pill is even lower, only 10 points. Both are still in the initial training stage.

If you want to succeed in refining the first pot, you need a lot of luck.

"It seems that we can't have this meal tonight."

There was a big hole in the iron pot and there was no spare iron pot at home, so Song Jie had no way to steam rice or cook.

"It's dark outside now. Going out might be dangerous. I won't eat tonight. I'd better practice in the house."

After experiencing the attack by the man in the bamboo hat, Song Jie has unconsciously become cautious and thinks twice before doing anything.

She fetched a basin of clean water, washed off the smoky makeup on her face, and shaved off a few tufts of burnt hair.

"I'll go out and buy two iron pots tomorrow morning, and then I'll continue refining the elixir."

After closing the door and windows, Song Jie walked to the bed, sat cross-legged, and quietly practiced Changchun Gong.

After a short while, with a long breath, he entered a state of cultivation.
