This is why Qingyang plans to learn alchemy. A large number of spirit flowers and spirit honey can be met but not sought. He can't completely place his hope on alcoholics bees. Just the last time Zui Xianhu upgraded, he ripened a large number of spiritual herbs and elixirs, which can be used for him to learn the elixir and refine the elixir to improve his cultivation.

It's not a pity to use the low-level spirit grass to improve the elixir first. When the elixir is improved to a certain extent, then try to refine the high-level spirit grass. Even if the success rate is not high, the spirit grass in the drunken immortal gourd can also refine a batch of Qi gathering pills. At least you won't lack the elixir at the beginning of Qi practice.

In the following days, Qingyang divided his time into two parts. At night, he practiced the five elements forging immortal formula to improve his accomplishments. During the day, he used it to learn Dan without delaying each other.

Daily meditation has little effect on the improvement of Qingyang's cultivation. There is almost no growth. It takes at least hundreds or even thousands of such days and nights to improve that step. But he was not frightened, because he knew that cultivation was an extremely boring thing. He had to endure loneliness. A little makes a lot. As long as he practiced hard, he would make a breakthrough sooner or later.

In addition to cultivation, Qingyang also tried to practice the sword formula recorded behind the five element forging immortal formula. Qingyang's mind is much higher than that of the friars of the same level. He has long had the ability to control magic tools. It is natural to get twice the result with half the effort. It took only a few days to learn the single attribute sword formula such as Jinyuan sword formula and muyuan sword formula.

Qingyang tried it in the practice field. He stood there motionless, then controlled the red flame sword with his mind, and cut a huge stone in the field with the fire yuan sword formula. A red light flashed in the air, and in the blink of an eye, the boulder cracked and turned into several pieces. This power is much stronger and more natural and unrestrained than directly cutting people with magic tools. This is the immortal means.

With Qingyang's current mental strength and the amount of genuine Qi in the Dantian, using the fire yuan sword formula to urge the red flame sword attack can support him to use it more than ten times continuously, and then his genuine Qi will be poor and the Yuanshen will be tired. This is because the level of red flame sword is relatively low. His mind is strong and his skill attributes are powerful. If other friars practicing Qi come to show it, it may be almost seven or eight times.

After learning the unit sword formula, Qingyang tried to learn the double sword formula. He had only one red flame sword in his hand, so he used the judge's pen from Helan peak as a magic sword, and used his mind to control the two magic tools to attack at the same time.

The double yuan sword formula is more powerful. The boulder in the practice field is just swept by the sword edge and suddenly breaks to pieces. If it is used against the enemy, even if the other party is a gas refining monk and has made sufficient defense, it may not be able to stop it. However, the consumption of double sword formula is also huge. With Qingyang's current strength, it can only be used twice in a row.

As for the ternary sword formula, don't think about it for the time being. With his mental strength, it's difficult to control three magic tools at one time, let alone form a sword array to attack. Moreover, the three swords are used together, and the real Qi consumed is also massive. Maybe one attack can drain him, and he can't chew too much. We'd better wait for his strength to be stronger in the future.

If you learn the sword formula, you will have the means to resist the sword attack. When you disagree with the enemy in the future, you will sacrifice magic tools to attack. This is the correct use of magic tools and spirit tools. Only in this way can the power of magic tools and spirit tools be brought into full play. When I was in Kaimai territory, I used to use magic tools to cut people. Now I think of it, it's really outrageous.

During the day, Qingyang is mostly used to learn alchemy. Alchemy is not so easy to learn and requires great experience. In the first two months, Qingyang collected a large number of spiritual scriptures and atlas. First, he became familiar with all kinds of spiritual materials, spiritual herbs and auxiliary drugs, and mastered the shape, growth environment, drug properties, principle of mutual generation and mutual elimination of all kinds of common spiritual drugs.

Each time you get a medicinal herb, you can instantly think of their name, characteristics, purpose, storage methods, precautions, etc., and can guess their approximate year, growth environment and contained medicinal power, so as to know common spiritual herbs like the back of your hand, such as several treasures.

In the next two months, Qingyang is mainly used to learn the refining and purification methods of various medicinal materials, the application of heat, and the common alchemy techniques, etc.

Before each kind of medicinal material is used, it needs to be preliminarily refined and purified. Different medicinal materials have different refining and purification methods. Some may need forging and roasting, some may need washing, some may need grinding, some may need stewing, and some may need pressing. If any step is not handled in place, it may affect the final yield.

Dan masters also have high requirements for the use of fire. High-level friars can produce Dan fire and control it at will. As long as they can ensure sufficient Zhenyuan, the fire will not have too much impact on alchemy. The low-level friars can't produce Dan fire and rely entirely on the external fire to refine Dan, which requires to control the size of the fire at any time. When it's big, when it's small, when it's time, and when it's time to put out, there can be no hesitation and delay, so as not to affect the final success rate because of the fire problem.

As for the techniques of alchemy, they are also very complex, such as oven drying, medicine crushing, refining, purification, stirring, fusion, reaction, slag removal, medicine mixing, static dust, tripod shooting, liquid collection, paste refining, spirit gathering, array carving, pattern painting, alchemy, medicine collection, etc. It's no less than a fierce battle with a friar of the same rank. It consumes not only mind, but also Qi. Without great perseverance, you can't hold on.

The low-level Dan prescription is better. There are not many medicinal materials used. As long as you master the main steps and then operate step by step, there will be basically no big mistakes.

Some high-level Dan prescriptions need hundreds or even hundreds of main and auxiliary medicines. The requirements of each kind of medicine are different. Some need to be handled in advance, and some can only be handled temporarily during alchemy. The difference is a thousand miles. Any detail may make a furnace of Dan medicine fail. In the high-level elixir, every kind of magic medicine is invaluable. Failure once is a great loss. No one dares to try without superb elixir.

However, for Qingyang, a beginner, he doesn't need to think so far. What he needs now is to master each step skillfully and practice basic skills.

It took four months for Qingyang to learn the basic skills of alchemy. Now he has a preliminary understanding of thousands of common miraculous drugs, materials and auxiliary drugs, mastered their characteristics, habits and pharmacology, and is familiar with the basic techniques and steps of alchemy.
