The Age of Immortal Cultivation: I Have Mountains and Seas to Accompany Me

Chapter 52: Baicao Dan Qi Gathering Dan

Don't be too enthusiastic about the dead... Tan Lun, this is the local custom, but it is definitely not out of politeness, but out of awe - they firmly believe that the dead exist in another form between heaven and earth, and their souls belong to the mountain god.

Although it has been said that feudal superstition has been broken for many years, the locals have reached a tacit understanding... The dead cannot talk about it, it is always possible to talk about living people?

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

The mountain was closed due to heavy snow and few people went in. Ye Muxue sent two dogs and a puppet swordsman to patrol the mountain, mainly for hunting and collecting treasures... The horns shed by red deer and sika deer, and roe deer horns can also be sold, and are relatively cheap.

Ye Muxue did not slack off. Although she had already reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, she still needed to consolidate it further. This time she was advancing continuously. Although her cultivation had been compressed and condensed, this step was indispensable.

At the fifth level of Qi Refining, one can already practice escape techniques, alchemy, and sword-riding techniques.

In fact, with the foundation from the previous life, escape techniques and sword-controlling techniques are easy to perform, but alchemy is different... It has to be controlled by spiritual consciousness, and Ye Muxue's spiritual consciousness is a little too strong for her at this stage.

It means that it is not within absolute control, so she starts with talisman making - because talisman making is low cost.

Now he is able to draw first-order talismans, and he feels that his control over his spiritual consciousness has made a great step forward, so he begins to try to make pills. Because when he reaches the fifth level of Qi Refining, it is not enough to just rely on one's natural talent or having a mine at home, and he needs to use multiple methods to be effective.

Ye Muxue originally planned to try alchemy later, because the growth of the mountain and sea space requires time, and the current mountain and sea space cannot provide the herbs needed for alchemy. But the appearance of Qiankunfang solved her most embarrassing problem - the medicine garden.

The medicine garden in Qiankunfang has not moved for hundreds of years. The people who set up the ban were very thoughtful and left the place where the spiritual herbs grew. Over the past few hundred years, the spiritual herbs have grown very lushly, which is the cheaper Ye Muxue.

Spiritual herbs are ingredients for refining some low-level elixirs; but they can also be made into elixirs on their own. The more complete the types, the better the effect of the elixir. This elixir is called "Baicaofan", which is very beneficial for improving physical fitness, detoxifying and beautifying the skin. To put it bluntly, the target audience of this elixir is ordinary people or women.

The last time she went to the medicine garden, she took a lot of spiritual herbs and the raw materials for the Qi Gathering Pill, which is a kind of spiritual pill that is used in conjunction with cultivation after the fifth level of Qi Refining. But she did not refine the Qi Gathering Pill immediately, but took a bunch of spiritual herbs to practice... that is, to purify it.

No matter what kind of medicinal material it is, as long as it exists in material form, there will inevitably be residues and useless things... In order not to waste materials and maximize the medicinal effect, it is inevitable to purify the medicinal materials.

For an average alchemist, it would be considered good if the purification could reach 60 to 70 percent, but Ye Muxue’s purification was 90 percent!
But this is already the past achievement, now we have to start from the beginning... Ye Muxue's alchemy inheritance is in the same vein as the Five Elements Chaos Art. Similarly, only after practicing to a certain level can the next stage of practice be opened. When refining alchemy, you need to pay attention not only to the raw materials, but also to the inheritance... Each alchemy inheritance has different hand gestures and alchemy techniques for refining alchemy.

From lighting the flame to cleaning the alchemy furnace, to finishing the alchemy and putting away the pills, there are various hand techniques to cooperate with each other, and naturally the level of inheritance and one's own perception can be seen.

Although she had a large amount of spiritual herbs on hand, Ye Muxue still tried to save as much as possible when using them... If she had had countless spiritual herbs to use before the mountain and sea space collapsed, she would not have to save at all, but now this is the only way.

She has already mastered the methods of purification, and what is more difficult to use is her spiritual sense!
As expected, the first three furnaces of spiritual herbs all failed. Two days of hard work were wasted. The fourth furnace of spiritual herbs took her two days. Looking at the emerald green liquid... it was only 70%. She was unwilling to give up and performed a second purification... and failed!
The fifth furnace also took her two days, and the purity was 80%. She did not choose to purify it twice, but directly shaped the elixir... and obtained 36 emerald green elixirs with a refreshing fragrance. They were top-grade Hundred Herb Pills.

The improvement and stabilization of purity meant that she could at least control her own consciousness, but further improvement of purity would involve the art of alchemy, which required daily accumulation, and she could never break through 90%.

Refining the same type of pill over and over again does not improve one's alchemy skills. After successfully refining four batches of Hundred Herb Pills, this type of pill is no longer enough to prompt Ye Muxue to make progress, so she began to take out the materials for the Qi Gathering Pill.

Most herbs need to be roasted in advance, but not too early. Some herbs can be crushed and put into the furnace, some herbs must be fresh, and some herbs cannot have any defects on the plants.

Although her method of processing medicinal materials was no different from before, Ye Muxue was still very careful. The alchemy furnace had been cleaned, and the water she used was well water, spiritual spring water, which could improve the efficacy of the medicine, but correspondingly, the difficulty of refining was also increased... But it didn't matter, as long as her spiritual consciousness was controlled, she could guarantee success with her experience.

In fact, the speed of producing pills was faster than she had imagined. The Hundred Herbs Pills she had made in advance allowed her to accumulate a lot of experience in controlling and manipulating her spiritual sense. She also had not forgotten the alchemy formula she had mastered in her previous life. After that, except for some minor problems when the medicine liquid was fused, under the control of her powerful spiritual sense, it was solved without any danger. After three hours, the pill liquid began to take shape in the alchemy furnace... She used the pill collection formula, opened the furnace, and twenty-four white pills appeared at the bottom of the furnace... still emitting hot steam.

Top grade elixir!
As long as the purification is passed, there is no need to doubt the quality.

After bottling the Qi Gathering Pill, Ye Muxue also felt a little tired, so she immediately returned to the quiet room and began to meditate... She had been like this during this period of time. Whenever she felt tired from refining the pill, she would come back and practice the skills, recovering while practicing. This way of practicing had a better effect.

After the Nine Revolutions, Ye Muxue regained her spirit. She came to the yard... Before the fifth level of Qi Refining, walking was very troublesome. To cross the lake, one had to either borrow a speedboat or exit and re-enter the mountain and sea space.

Now, you can use the Five Elements Escape Technique... The Five Elements Escape Technique can be a way to escape and save your life, or it can be the only way to get on the road. Anyone who has read The Investiture of the Gods knows that no matter which sect a person belongs to, they are all proficient in one of the Five Elements Escape Techniques, which has something to do with their cultivation methods. Most people in the Chan Sect are proficient in earth escape, and most people in the Biyou Palace are proficient in water escape. Ye Muxue practices all five escapes, especially in wood and earth escapes.
