I've already ascended to immortality, and only now is spiritual energy reviving?

This time, he carefully studied the annotations on the pages.

The annotation states that,

After mastering the basics, if you want to further increase the power of your sword energy...

Simply relying on cultivating by drawing in purple energy every day is far from enough.

The key is to refine a sword pellet.

The sword pellet is the natal magical weapon of the One Qi Righteous Yang Sword.

It is also the true core that bears and amplifies the sword energy.

and,

The higher the quality of the sword pellet, the greater the increase in the power of the sword aura.

Without sword pellets, one will forever remain at the beginner level.

No matter how much you practice afterward, your improvement will be limited!

"That's difficult. I also need to learn how to make a sword pellet!"

Bai Sheng was somewhat helpless.

If one were truly in the realm of spiritual cultivation, this kind of thing would be easily resolved.

I'm afraid it would be better to just go out and buy a ready-made one.

But now, we have to figure everything out on our own.

They couldn't even buy the materials; they had to put in a lot of effort to collect them.

The difficulty is self-evident.

"Let me take another look."

He flipped down to look at the materials used to refine the sword pellet.

First, you need to prepare some gold essence.

The so-called essence of the five metals,

Its essence is extracted from five metals: gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin.

They were combined and refined into a golden embryo.

This golden embryo needs to be repeatedly nurtured and refined with external medicine.

Applying topical medication is much more complicated.

Cinnabar, realgar, magnetite powder, mother-of-pearl, rootless water...

Bai Sheng looked at the list of materials and his lips twitched.

First of all,

To extract the essence from gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin,

This is not something you can do with a household induction cooker.

You need metallurgical equipment to make it work!

The external medicines cinnabar and realgar can indeed be purchased at traditional Chinese medicine shops.

Magnetite powder and mother-of-pearl are not too hard to find.

So-called "rootless water" is actually just rainwater; it's waiting for a rainy day.

The most outrageous thing is the calcination conditions.

The book requires that,

At noon, it was repeatedly calcined using both gentle and vigorous fire.

It means that the stove should be lit outdoors when the midday sun is at its strongest.

Bai Sheng felt a chill run down his spine.

We can only take it slowly.

First, copy the materials list into your phone's notes app.

Every possible source for each item has been marked.

The essence of gold is the most difficult to obtain; we'll have to figure out a way slowly!

"This is way too difficult..."

Bai Sheng was even considering giving up on this method.

After all, you've already gotten the basics down; going any further will require external assistance.

If this is the case,

Doesn't that mean that cultivation becomes more and more like scientific research as you progress?

He got involved in materials science, metallurgy, and pharmaceutics.

Kind of outrageous.

Chapter 46 The Technique of Splitting Light and Transforming Shadows, and the Unexpected Report

Especially in the area of ​​alchemy,

This isn't cultivation; it's practically metallurgy and chemical engineering!

It's simply impossible to raise the funds in the short term.

Continuing to fight to the bitter end is a waste of time.

"I need to change my approach! I can't let myself get stuck on something I can't handle."

Since the path of using sword pellets is not feasible for the time being...

Let's see if there are any other examples in the Taoist scriptures.

The spells available under the current conditions.

Signs of a spiritual energy revival have appeared.

More methods mean more protection.

Let's flip through some Taoist books!

Bai Sheng folded a corner of the pages about the One Qi Righteous Yang Sword and continued flipping through them.

He hadn't completely given up on the matter of the sword pellet, but had only temporarily put it on hold.

I'll visit the scrap metal recycling station in the west of the city sometime.

Or a metal processing plant in an industrial area.

Maybe we can gather all the essential gold?

It's a waste of time to obsess over this stuff now.

Time is more expensive than materials!

After turning a few more pages,

I've looked at many methods for protecting the Dao, but I'm not quite satisfied with any of them.

I still hope the entry requirements are lower.

Not relying on those strange and unusual external things,

Don't consume too much energy.

After all, he's only at the first level of Qi Condensation Technique.

His foundation in true essence is not very strong.

Ideally, it should be practical, usable in emergencies, and able to help with miscellaneous tasks...

Under a text called "Butcher Ding Carving Up an Ox",

A new hidden annotation has appeared.

This is a spell called the "Splitting Light and Shadow Technique".

This spell is not long.

"Using innate true essence as a guide, one can condense qi and transform it into form, thus creating a separate figure that is identical to the original body."

This shadow has form but no substance; it can be felt and seen, but ordinary people cannot distinguish its truth from falsehood.

A tangible yet intangible clone!

It doesn't even need any external objects.

All that's needed is true essence.

Moreover, it doesn't seem to consume much true energy?

Bai Sheng did not particularly pursue methods of killing.
