Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying Chapter 188 - 187: How the Elixir is Made
Chapter 188: Chapter 187: How the Elixir is Made
Alchemy, being an elite skill among the hundred skills of immortal cultivation, usually requires cultivators at the Foundation Establishnt Stage to possess the True Fire of Dao Foundation in order to proceed.
However, during the Qi Refinent Realm, replacing the True Fire of Dao Foundation with a strand of Innate Spiritual Fire also allows an early exposure to alchemy techniques, but the limit that a Qi Refining Stage Cultivator can reach is generally just a Second Grade Alchemist.
Because ordinary Innate Spiritual Fire is almost impossible to refine a Third Grade Spiritual dicine that possesses two hundred years of dicinal power.
Yang Fushuo’s Heavenly Level Spiritual Fire is strong, but refining Third Grade Spiritual dicine is extrely strenuous, uncontrollable, and the possibility of exploding the furnace reaches 100%.
However, Yang Fushuo is only at the fourth level of Qi Cultivation this year; his strength has not yet reached the peak of the Qi Refinent Realm, and there is still great potential for developnt in the future.
Among the elixirs he has refined so far, apart from those learned from his sect, he created a total of four elixirs.
First Grade: “Piloting Fart Flying Pill” and “Eccentric Gathering Fire Pill”
Second Grade: “I Split Pill” and “I’m Together Pill”
Each has its own characteristics.
And through his thods, he upgraded these four elixirs… naly, the Second Grade “Piloting Fart Flying Pill” and “Eccentric Gathering Fire Pill”, and the Third Grade “I Split Pill” and “I’m Together Pill”, each with exceptionally outstanding effects.
The main technique Yang Fushuo used to create these four elixirs can be summarized in four words:
Blindly refining.
In the past, he had tried refining others, but most of the ti was spent exploding pills, so much so that when he was at the Dan Fire Sect, Li Xuyang hardly dared let him try to create new elixirs… dicine Garden Peak really couldn’t withstand it.
But apart from these four self-refined elixirs, Yang Fushuo actually mastered the creation of all First and Second Grade elixirs of the Dan Fire Sect. Moreover, he firmly morized several Third Grade elixir recipes in his mind.
“With this data, is it possible to deduce how a successful elixir is ford?”
After pondering for a mont, Yang Genshuo decided to observe Yang Fushuo’s alchemy process closely.
“You go refine a batch of your ‘I Split Pill’ first.”
“Master, please give five kinds of dicinal herbs.” Yang Fushuo reached out his hand.
Du Yuyan did not know what Yang Fushuo was planning to do, but given his secretive and divinely assisted deanor…
“What spiritual dicine? I only have Second Grade materials readily available here; Third Grade materials must be recorded in the pavilion’s registry first.”
“Second Grade is enough. I need… Primordial Spirit Grass, Yin Yang Lotus, Fire Phoenix Feather, Spiritual Fire Ganoderma, and Five Elents Juniper Wood.”
“Hmm? Is this… your new elixir recipe?”
As a scholar proficient in the alchemy knowledge of the Twelve Dynasties, Du Yuyan had never seen this combination before.
“Correct, it’s my self-created elixir—’I Split Pill’.”
Du Yuyan’s eyes lit up; she had recruited Yang Fushuo into the Elixir Pavilion precisely because she noticed his special alchemy talent during the Immortal Path competition, of which his self-created divisable elixir was the most dazzling!
Anyone who could create such an elixir was definitely a genius!
Now, Yang Fushuo was refining this elixir in front of her for the first ti.
Yang Fushuo was not afraid of his master peeking because this pill could only be refined using Liquefied Natural Gas. He had tried with the Fire Vein Fire but failed to create the pill, and even if soone else learned the formula, they could not replicate it.
Furthermore… if there was only ‘I Split Pill’ without ‘I’m Together Pill’, it would be incomplete and beco a burden to oneself.
Five kinds of dicinal herbs appeared in front of Yang Fushuo, sparkling from Du Yuyan’s ring.
Yang Fushuo looked enviously at her ring, which always spat out various necessary dicinal herbs and seed to carry an endless supply.
Whoo!
A wisp of pale blue fla erged in Yang Fushuo’s hand, and he first placed the Five Elents Juniper Wood into it.
Five Elents Juniper Wood
Second Grade Spiritual dicine
Growth Year: 50
Attribute: tal 10 Wood 10 Water 10 Fire 10 Earth 10
A type of timber containing evenly distributed Five Elents Spiritual Power, with a gentle and stable dicinal property, often used as the base material in alchemy.
Yang Fushuo could clearly see this dicinal herb’s information on his end.
This was a 50-year-old Five Elents Attribute Spiritual dicine.
As the Five Elents Juniper Wood was refined in the flas, spiritual energy continuously infused into it, forcibly aging it to 75 years.
This was the growth effect brought about by the Heavenly Level Spiritual Fire.
The dicinal liquid gradually stabilized, and Yang Fushuo had no great difficulty in refining it.
Next ca the second dicinal herb, also 50 years old, the Fire Phoenix Feather, which looked very much like a feather.
Attribute: Fire 40 Wood 10
A herb with a predominant Fire Elent.
Next ca the Spiritual Fire Ganoderma, a herb of the Fire, Earth, and Wood Elents.
After adding two Fire Elent dicinal Herbs in succession, the temperature at the core of the dicinal liquid rose significantly, and it had already started to boil, with extrely intense fluctuations of Spiritual Power. Alchemists who often experienced furnace explosions knew… it was ti to run.
Even Du Yuyan ford a ball of spiritual light in her hand, ready to stop the impending explosion.
At the very least, they couldn’t let the sound escape… otherwise, constantly exploding Elixirs would reflect poorly on the Elixir Pavilion.
But Yang Fushuo, skilled and daring, was not at all panicked; instead, he looked excited, as this was his forte!
Snatching chestnuts from the fire!
“Yin Yang Lotus, co!”
[Attribute: Water 25 Fire 25]
This peculiar dicinal Herb stabilized the dicinal liquid upon entering, gradually turning it into a semi-solid state, clearly about to form an Elixir.
“Finally, the soul dicinal Herb juice… pour it over~”
With his other hand, he stimulated the Spiritual Fire to refine the Primordial Spirit Grass into a liquid form and poured it over the previous semi-solid substance.
Whoosh~
A white mist erged, and the fragrance of the dicine wafted about.
The Elixir was ford.
Yang Fushuo slightly raised one hand, and five golden Elixirs flew towards him through the air.
“Done!”
After watching, Du Yuyan clapped her hands.
“I wasn’t wrong about you.”
Observing Yang Fushuo’s extre alchemy up close reassured Du Yuyan… her apprentice’s Spiritual Fire was indeed like his brother’s!
Everyone knew that Yang Fu had Heavenly Level Spiritual Fire Liquefied Natural Gas on the first day, but who would realize that his brother Yang Fushuo possessed the sa Spiritual Fire… and that this fire greatly aided in Alchemy.
“A bout of Spiritual Fire might be due to Qi Fortune, but for brothers both to have Heavenly Level Spiritual Fire… it seems just as the Immortal Clan Pavilion Master Huang said, the Yang Family indeed has a significant background.”
Yang Fushuo grinned cheekily, “Do we even need to say that! Master, don’t worry, I definitely won’t disgrace our Elixir Pavilion.”
“Hmm… let see your Elixirs.”
“Alright.”
Yang Fushuo explained his “I Split Pill” to Du Yuyan, while Yang Genshuo studied the just-completed alchemy process.
This was his first ti seriously observing each detail of Yang Fushuo’s alchemy thod.
“Judging by the alchemy, the main factors for successful Elixir formation include three elents.”
“The type of Spiritual dicine, the order of refining, and the Alchemist’s Spiritual Fire.”
“Lastly, there’s the issue of proficiency in technique, which can be learned through practice. Since Yang Fushuo is naturally talented in this area, we won’t include it…”
Every kind of Spiritual dicine has its unique Five Elents Attribute and efficacy, and selecting the right Spiritual dicines is essential for Elixir formation. If not harmonized properly at the end, it could at least turn into a lump of ash, or at worst, cause an explosion of the furnace.
“If the sa person performs the alchemy, the Spiritual Fire can be kept constant, which has a minor impact. The most crucial aspects are still the Five Elents Attribute and the sequence of refining.”
“If one can grasp the pattern, then it is possible to deduce a likely diagram for successful Elixir formation…”
“And AI may comprehend this phenonon through more extensive data, I’ll give it a try.”
Yang Genshuo opened ChatGPT (Artificial Intelligence) and began typing questions.
“Question: Do you understand alchemy in the Immortal Cultivation World?”
“Answer: In the concept of the Immortal Cultivation World, Alchemy is a technique that fuses the worldly Spiritual Materials using flas and the Alchemist’s Spiritual Power and Spiritual Thoughts to refine Elixirs with various miraculous effects. Alchemy holds an extrely important place in Immortal Cultivation culture…”
The explanation was dull, basically like Google, not helpful at all.
Just as Yang Genshuo expected.
But he had a unique thod of use…
“Question: From now on, our conversation must be coherent; do not stop unless I say so.”
“Answer: Understood, we will continue to discuss in-depth topics related to alchemy in the Immortal Cultivation World…”
“Question: Assu that we are now in the Immortal Cultivation World, and all my following dialogue is based on this premise.”
“Answer: Excellent, since we are now placed within this fantasy of the Immortal Cultivation World, let’s explore further into this fascinating field. In this world, where Spiritual Energy is abundant and all things are possible, Cultivators wander through high mountains and dense forests, seeking the endless path to immortality.”
Hehe~ this AI is quite into the role!
“Question: Let’s start from scratch in studying alchemy, I’ll set the rules, and you analyze.”
“Answer: Of course, I am very willing to cooperate with your settings for analysis. Please tell your envisioned rules or conditions, such as the theoretical basis of alchemy, available resources, special restrictions, or pursuit goals, and I will analyze how to proceed with the study of alchemy based on these conditions. Whether it’s pursuing the ultimate quality of Elixirs or finding innovative alchemy thods under specific circumstances, each rule will uniquely influence the learning path. Please begin with your settings.”
Alright, to the main event now!
