Chapter 187 How the Pill is Made Alchemy is a top-notch skill among the hundred arts of cultivating immortals. It often requires cultivators to have reached the foundation-building stage and possess the true fire of Taoism before they can practice it. However, during the Qi Refining Stage, a wisp of innate spiritual fire can be refined to replace the Taoist true fire, allowing one to be exposed to alchemy in advance. However, the upper limit that a Qi Refining Stage cultivator can achieve is generally only a second-grade alchemist. This was because it was almost impossible for ordinary innate spiritual fire to refine a third-grade spiritual medicine that had a medicinal power of 200 years. Although Yang Fushuo's heavenly grade spiritual fire was very powerful, it was extremely difficult and out of control to refine the third-grade spiritual medicine, and the possibility of the furnace exploding was as high as 100%. However, Yang Fushuo has only reached the fourth level of Qi training this year, and his strength has not yet reached the peak of the Qi training period. There is still a lot of room for development in the future. Among the pills he has been able to refine so far, excluding those with recipes learned from his master, there are a total of four pills of his own creation. First-class: [Flying Pill for Fart Control] and [Fire Gathering Pill (Special)] Second level: [I split the pill] and [I combined the pill] Each has its own characteristics. Moreover, he upgraded these four pills through his own means. That is, the second-grade [Flying Pill of Controlling Farts] and [Fire Gathering Pill (Special)], as well as the third-grade [I Split Pill] and [I Combined Pill], with extremely outstanding medicinal effects.
The main method used by Yang Fushuo to create these four pills can be summarized in four words: A few random shots. He had refined some other ones in the past, but most of the time was spent on blasting pills. Even when Yang Fushuo was in Danhuo Sect, Li Xuyang didn't dare to let him try to refine new pills easily. Yaoyuan Peak really couldn't stand it. However, in addition to these four pills he made himself, Yang Fushuo actually also mastered the refining of all the first- and second-grade pills of the Danhuo Sect. In addition, the recipes of several third-grade pills were also firmly memorized in his mind. "Is it possible to infer from this data how a successful pill is formed?" Yang Genshuo thought for a moment and decided to observe Yang Fushuo's alchemy process carefully. "Go and refine a furnace of your cracked pill first." "Master, please give me five kinds of medicinal herbs." Yang Fushuo stretched out his hand. Du Yuyan didn't know what Yang Fushuo was planning to do, but seeing this boy acting mysteriously, he looked as if he was helped by God. "What elixir? I only have second-grade medicinal materials that can be used at any time. Third-grade medicinal materials must be registered in the pavilion." "The second grade is enough. I want Yuanshen grass, Yin-Yang lotus, Fire Phoenix feather, Fire Ganoderma lucidum, and Five Elements Eurya." "Hmm? This is...your new prescription?" Du Yuyan is knowledgeable and talented, and all the knowledge of alchemy in the Twelve Dynasties is in her mind. This combination has never been seen before. "Yes, it's a pill I created myself—I cracked the pill." Du Yuyan's eyes lit up, she recruited Yang Fushuo into the Alchemy Pavilion because she saw his special talent in alchemy displayed in the Immortal Road Competition, among which the self-created elixir that could split into two was the most eye-catching! Anyone who can create this kind of elixir is definitely a genius! Now, Yang Fushuo was refining his own pill in front of her for the first time. Yang Fushuo was not afraid of his master peeking at him, because only he could make this pill using liquefied natural gas. He had tried the fire from the fire veins and couldn't make the pill. Even if others learned it, they couldn't copy it. Besides, if I am the only one who splits the pill but not myself to close it, it will be incomplete and will become a burden to myself. Something flashed in Du Yuyan's ring, and five kinds of medicinal herbs appeared in front of Yang Fushuo.
Yang Fushuo looked at her ring with envy. It always spit out various medicinal herbs that they needed. He didn't know how much it contained. It seemed like it would never be finished. call! A ball of dark blue flame emerged from Yang Fushuo's hand, and he put the [Five Elements Eupatorium] in first. 【Five Elements Eurya】 [Second-grade elixir] 【Growing Year: 50】 【属性：金10木10水10火10土10】 [A kind of wood that contains uniform five-element spiritual power, with mild and stable medicinal properties, often used as the base material for alchemy. 】 Yang Fushuo can clearly see the information about this herb. This is a 50-year-old magical medicine with five elements properties. As the Five Elements Eupatorium was refined in the flames, spiritual energy continued to flow into it, pushing the year to 75. This is the growth effect brought by the heavenly spiritual fire. The medicinal liquid gradually stabilized, and Yang Fushuo did not have to spend much effort to refine it. The next is the second medicinal ingredient, which is also 50-year-old [Fire Phoenix Feather]. This is an herb that is very similar in shape to a feather. [Attributes: Fire 40 Wood 10] A fire-based herb. Next was the Fire Ganoderma, a fire, earth and wood herb. After adding two fire-oriented herbs in succession, the core temperature of the liquid medicine rose sharply, and the inside began to churn. The spiritual power fluctuations were extremely strong. Alchemists who often exploded their furnaces knew that it was time to run. Even Du Yuyan held a ball of spiritual light in her hand, ready to stop the explosion at any time. At least we can't let this sound get out. Otherwise, if the pills keep exploding, how will others view the Pill Pavilion? But Yang Fushuo was very skilled and courageous, he was not panicked at all, instead he looked excited, this was the part he was best at! Take chestnuts from the fire! "Yin Yang Lotus, come!" [Attributes: Water 25 Fire 25] After this strange herb entered the body, it instantly stabilized the liquid medicine and gradually turned it into a semi-solid state. It was obvious that it was about to become a pill. "Finally, pour the soul herb juice on~" The other hand activated the spiritual fire to refine the [Yuanshen Grass] into liquid medicine, which was poured onto the previous ball of semi-solid substance. Wow~ White mist emerged, and the fragrance of medicine wafted out. The pill has been formed. Yang Fushuo raised one hand slightly, and five golden pills flew into the air. "It's done!"
After reading it, Du Yuyan clapped her hands. "I didn't see you wrongly." Watching Yang Fushuo's extreme alchemy at close range made Du Yuyan certain that her disciple's spiritual fire was definitely the same as his brother's! "Everyone knows that the number one prodigy Yang Fu is a heavenly-level spiritual fire liquefied natural gas. Who would have known that his brother Yang Fushuo possesses the same spiritual fire. Moreover, this fire is of great help in alchemy." "A ball of spiritual fire may be due to luck, and both brothers have heavenly spiritual fire. It seems that it is just as the Immortal Clan Pavilion Master Huang said, the Yang family is of great origin." Yang Fushuo laughed and said, "Of course! Master, don't worry, I will definitely not bring shame to our Dan Pavilion." "Well, let me see your pill." "Ah." Yang Fushuo was explaining his "I Split the Pill" to Du Yuyan, while Yang Genshuo was studying the alchemy process just now. This was the first time he watched Yang Fushuo making the elixir carefully and carefully paying attention to every detail. "From the perspective of alchemy, there are three main factors that determine whether or not the elixir is successful." "The types of spiritual medicines, the order of refining, and the spiritual fire for refining the elixir." "Finally, there is the question of proficiency in technique, which can be acquired through practice. Yang Fushuo is very talented in this area, so it is not considered a problem." Each elixir has its own unique five elements properties and effects. If you want to make pills, you have to choose the elixir you need. If you fail to blend them well in the end, at best it will turn into ashes, and at worst the furnace will explode. "If the same person is refining the elixir, the spiritual fire for refining the elixir can be fixed. This has little impact. The most important thing is the five elements of the elixir and the refining order." "If we can understand the rules, we can deduce the possible patterns of the elixir." "AI may be able to understand this phenomenon through more data. I will try it first." Yang Keun-suk opened ChatGPT (artificial intelligence) and started typing questions. "Question: Do you understand the alchemy techniques of the immortal world?" "Answer: In the concept of the world of immortal cultivation, alchemy is a skill that uses fire and the alchemist's spiritual power and mental thoughts to extract elixirs with various magical effects by integrating the spiritual materials of heaven and earth. Alchemy occupies an extremely important position in the culture of immortal cultivation." The explanations are boring, just like Baidu, totally useless. Just as Yang Keun-suk expected. But he has a unique way of using it. “Q: From now on, our conversation needs to be coherent. It won’t stop until I say so.” "Answer: I understand. We will continue to explore topics related to alchemy in the world of immortal cultivation." "Q: If we are in the world of immortal cultivation right now, my next conversation will be based on this." "Answer: Very good. Now that we are in this fantasy world of immortal cultivation, let us further explore this wonderful realm. In this world, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant, and all things are possible. Immortal cultivators travel among the towering mountains, deep valleys and dense forests, pursuing the endless path to immortality." Haha~ This AI is quite into the show! "Q: Now we are going to study alchemy from scratch. I will set the rules and you will analyze them." "Answer: Of course, I am happy to analyze according to your settings. Please tell me the rules or conditions you envision, such as the theoretical basis of alchemy, available resources, special restrictions or goals, etc. I will analyze how to start the alchemy research journey based on these conditions. Whether it is the pursuit of the ultimate quality of elixirs or the search for innovative alchemy methods under specific circumstances, each rule will have a unique impact on the learning path. Please start setting it up."
Okay, okay, let’s start the fun! (End of this chapter)
