After practicing Qi for a thousand years, one can finally become a god!

Chapter 36: Adopting a Girl, Choosing a Friend, Taoist Child, Cultivating Fire, Changing Bones, Shedding Shell, Pill Formation, and Sleeping Together! [First Update!]

"Fifth sister wants to learn how to make pills?"

Qi Sheng looked at You Zhi, then at Yu Yan.

You Zhi said, "I am interested in making pills, but if it's inconvenient, there's no need to make it difficult for you, second brother."

She is not green tea.

She really didn't want to come.

Yu Yan smiled and said, "My sister has a quiet nature. It's not appropriate for her to go out and fight. After thinking it over, it's better for her to practice alchemy. It just so happens that my second brother has also been refining alchemy recently, so why not take her with him?"

She teased, "They are all sisters, so you can't favor one over the other, brother."

Qi Sheng certainly knew what Yu Yan was thinking.

It's just that he treats Liu Rongrong better and Ju Ying better, but there is a layer of separation between him and her and You Zhi.

At this moment.

The reason why You Zhi was sent here was probably just to get closer to him.

Qi Sheng doesn't care

He was just short of people: "As long as Fifth Sister doesn't mind the hard and tiring work here, it's all fine."

You Zhi's heart sank, but when she saw her sister's gaze, she forced a smile: "Thank you, second brother!"

Yu Yan was even more delighted: "Then You Zhi will be handed over to Second Brother from now on! Please teach her as much as you can and don't show any pity."

She held You Zhi's hand and said, "No matter how hard and tiring it is to make pills and refine medicine, can it compare to fighting?"

She urged, "Now that you're here, study hard and obey your second brother's instructions. Do you understand?"

Yu Yan seemed to have other intentions.

You Zhi shuddered and responded, "I understand."

in this way.

Qi Sheng's personal alchemy room welcomed its first member.

……

"The art of making elixirs is profound and extensive."

"True lead and true mercury, bathing in the Huachi, the image of the cauldron and furnace, the order of fire temperature."

“Each has its own way, and it covers everything.”

After Yu Yan left.

You Zhi stayed.

Qi Sheng was in urgent need of manpower and wanted You Zhi to get started, so he taught her seriously.

"Those who make elixirs must understand astronomy, geography, yin and yang, the hexagrams, the rise and fall of the solar terms, the rise and fall of the day, the advance and retreat of the fire, and the laws of the cauldron and furnace."

"Then you will understand the gates of the dragon and tiger Dharma images, and recognize the true path of lead and mercury. You must also understand morality within and show kindness without. When your heart and the elixir merge, you will naturally reach the realm of truth."

"So the art of making elixirs is not something that can be mastered overnight."

You Zhi listened to Qi Sheng's story.

I was originally feeling heavy-hearted.

Thinking about my sister's instructions, I was in a dilemma.

But as I listened, I gradually became absorbed in it.

The Dao of Alchemy is extensive and profound.

You Zhi had only heard of it at first and was not actually interested.

But at this time.

According to Qi Sheng's narration.

He cited extensively, explained things in a simple and easy-to-understand way, and was full of energy.

For a moment, I was immersed in it.

"To refine an elixir, three pure and clear-minded individuals must unite and make a common wish, hoping for the elixir to succeed."

"Before you start, you must first fast and offer a prayer to the heavens."

"One person manages the cauldron and adds and changes water and fire."

"One person rotates the yin and yang, creating the hexagrams."

"A man's advance and retreat in water and fire follow the seasons."

"The three of you are in charge, and each of you must not make any mistakes."

It turned out to be the case.

When You Zhi heard this, she finally understood why her second brother accepted her.

It turns out that there is a real shortage of people.

I also thought of the alchemists in the sect. I heard that each of them had a Taoist boy who obeyed his orders. I guess it was the same reason.

When making the elixir, one must work day and night, and the time between days and months is long. The person making the elixir will be tired and weak after a long time, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes in the making of the elixir.

This requires help from others.

"Second brother has no other thoughts."

"That's it."

"I will diligently practice the art of making pills."

"If you achieve something, you will no longer be a burden."

"Sister won't force me anymore..."

You Zhi was thinking.

Wait until you come to your senses.

A pile of classics was already piled in front of him.

She took a look and saw on the cover——

"The Illustrated Classics and Their Explanations."

……

Three days later.

'Raising the fire' is successful.

Qi Sheng then began the next step——

"When the sword enters your mouth, you will be transformed into an immortal."

"Every penny counts, and the cheap becomes the precious."

"If it weren't for the supreme spirit of the elixir head and the supreme wonder of nature, how could it be irrigated into the bone marrow? This is the way to move the spirit and change the qi."

This step is called bone changing.

"From the mortal to the immortal, from transformation to essence."

"That's it."

"'Huangya Dan' has been initially prepared."

“No room for error.”

Qi Sheng's face showed a little fatigue, but it was covered up by excitement.

You Zhi's pretty face was stained with charcoal dust, but it didn't look ugly, instead it made her look even more lively and energetic. She was also tired.

Watch the fire for three consecutive days.

Sleep less.

Less rest.

That’s secondary.

The key point is that it was the first time I was watching the fire, and I was afraid of making mistakes and then being blamed by my sister and Qi Sheng.

Too much psychological pressure.

But besides the pressure.

It was also a novel experience for You Zhi to participate in the pill making for the first time.

participate.

Successfully cultivate fire.

She was also happy in her heart.

Now I am also looking forward to the success of the elixir.

You Zhi stared at it.

Don't dare to speak out.

Qi Sheng threw the prepared pill into the cauldron to catalyze the reaction between the medicine and the stone, and to shift his mind and energy to form the pill.

Lift the lid of the tripod.

A burst of medicinal fragrance wafted into my nose.

Take a sniff.

I feel very excited.

You Zhi didn't dare to ask, she wondered in her heart: "Is the medicine ready?"

It seemed as if he heard what You Zhi was saying in her heart.

Qi Sheng said at this time: "This medicine is in short supply and has not been completed yet."

It also needs to be 'shelled'.

You Zhi saw Qi Sheng take out 28 blue gold, as thick as a grain of rice, and put it into a white silver sand box. After calcining it, he sealed it with 61 mud.

Then placed in the ash pond.

"it is good!"

Qi Sheng clapped his hands.

He smiled and said, "Next, follow the previous method to cultivate the fire for another three days. When you have enough, take it out. Then you will be able to extract the 'real medicine' from the missing medicine."

this is--

"Shelling!"

……

Back and forth.

Not preparation.

It takes seven days just to make the pill.

September 16th.

In the middle of the night.

Qi Sheng held a whisk and opened the lid of the tripod.

A golden light flickered faintly.

The aroma of medicine filled the alchemy room.

You Zhi's eyes widened, and after taking a sniff, she felt her body become lighter and her skills seemed to be increasing.

this time!

Dan, it really worked!

Qi Sheng looked into the cauldron and saw that the medicine had turned into a paste.

This won't work.

He held a square inch dagger in his hand, took out a square inch of ointment, and wrapped it in black paper.

There is a secret to this 'black paper'.

"Alchemists often use black paper to wrap medicine."

"Because ordinary paper is white, the spirit cannot reside there. Ink dyes it black, so the spirit can be hidden there."

This black box paper was made by Qi Sheng himself.

Grind the best quality ink into a thick paste and apply it on the paper, covering both the front and back, top and bottom. Dry it over a fire to make sure the ink is all over.

If it is not black, repeat the previous method until it turns black.

"I'll give you two days off."

"Starting the day after tomorrow, join me in making black box paper, medicine hardware, and other materials."

Qi Sheng pointed to one side of the cave: "You will live in the quiet room over there."

You Zhi was indeed tired.

See the elixir is made.

I felt relieved.

The sleepiness came over me immediately and I couldn't stop it.

She apologized to Qi Sheng, went into the quiet room, fell asleep, and even snored softly.

"Alchemy."

“I’m really tired!”

Qi Sheng listened to the sound of You Zhi sleeping soundly, and he was not surprised at all.

Not just You Zhi.

As an alchemist, he has to take care of the overall situation and every detail. Not only does he have to refine the elixir, but he also has to teach You Zhi how to do it.

He is more tired.

I'm sleepy now too.

But he held on, put the pills away, and cleaned and tidied up all the equipment in the alchemy room.

So busy.

That’s how it ends.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

then.

Qi Sheng couldn't bear it any longer, so he returned to his quiet room and fell asleep.
