Top luck: lead the family to cultivating immortals

Chapter 3 The First Trial of Alchemy

In the early morning, a round of sunlight shines on Lin Tianming's face through the small window of the attic.

I opened my eyes, got up and stretched, the exhaustion from the past half a month disappeared, monks also need to combine work and rest, and blindly retreating to practice is not conducive to the later advancement.

Pushing open the door and walking out of the courtyard of his home, the Green Bamboo Mountain in the early morning is very lively, with people from the clan passing through the mountain one after another.

The morning sun is like a fiery red disc, hanging on the side of the main peak of Qingzhu Mountain. There is a large area of ​​green Lingzhu at the bottom of the mountain, covering an area of ​​more than one hundred acres. There are more than a hundred attics on the mountainside, surrounding the Qingzhu Peak in twos and threes, which is too beautiful to behold.

As soon as he released his consciousness, a green and red flying sword appeared in Lin Tianming's hand out of thin air. It was seven feet long and half a foot wide. It was extremely sharp and could cut iron like mud.

Every clansman who enters the third level of Qi training can receive a green bamboo sword in the family's Shangong hall, which can be used as a tool for killing enemies.

He sacrificed the flying sword, and hit it with a formula. The flying sword swelled several times in an instant. Lin Tianming jumped on it, controlled the green bamboo sword, and went straight to the alchemy hall of the family.

In half a quarter of an hour, Lin Tianming appeared in an attic on the mountainside. He saw a five-storey attic with a large plaque hanging on the door tripod, with the words "Alchemy Pavilion" written in flying and flying.

This building looks like an ordinary attic, but in fact it is protected by several prohibition formations.

Lin Tianming took out a blue token from the storage bag, made a formula with both hands, and muttered something.

I saw a blue light from the token flying towards the attic, and in the blink of an eye, a large hole appeared in the formation. Lin Tianming stepped forward and disappeared inexplicably.

In the alchemy pavilion, Lin Tianming walked through several alchemy rooms familiarly, as if he often went in and out of this place, he didn't stop until he reached the door of the innermost alchemy room.

I saw an old man of seventy years sitting in the room, sitting on the futon.

The old man was dressed in a gray Taoist robe, his hair was already half white, and he had a long goatee, looking amiable.

In front of the old man stood a fiery red alchemy stove, three feet high, the whole body of the alchemy stove was fiery red, with three ears, and the body of the stove was carved with exquisite patterns.

The Sanxing furnace is the only second-order alchemy furnace in the family's alchemy hall. It has been passed down for more than 300 years.

The three-star furnace is now the treasure of the alchemy hall, used by the family alchemists, and is kept by Lin Tianming's grandfather Lin Shigong.

On the stone table next to the alchemy furnace, there are more than ten kinds of spiritual herbs of different colors, surrounded by spiritual energy on the surface.

This old man was Lin Tianming's grandfather, Lin Shigong, who practiced qi Dzogchen, ranked ninth in the Lin family's lineage, and was almost a hundred years old. He was the only two alchemists in the Lin family.

The Lin family has been inherited for more than [-] years. There are many people in the clan.

Lin Tianming is the No. 16 descendant of the Lin family. He is the No. 11 descendant of the Tian family. His father, Lin Xingrong, is No. [-].

There are 170 Lin family monks and more than [-] mortals. They are distributed in major cities and towns within a thousand miles of the Green Bamboo Mountain. The mortals of the Lin family intermarried with the aborigines, and the offspring they gave birth to had the same surname Lin.

Lin Tianming walked into the room and bowed respectfully to the old man.

"Grandson pays respects to grandpa tomorrow."

Lin Shigong looked at his grandson and said with relief;

"It's still hard work, and I've already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining."

"Remember that practice is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Lin Shigong pointed to the futons in front of him and said: Sit down."

Lin Tianming looked at the five futons and randomly picked one to sit on.

After a few breaths of time, the alchemy pavilion's warning ban flickered slightly.

Lin Shigong took out his token, and played out several spells. A hole was made in the ban, and a man and a woman walked in.

The man's name is Lin Tianhong, he is 22 years old, he is at the fourth level of Qi Refining, he has three spiritual roots, he is the son of Lin Xingping, he is the cousin of Lin Tianming, and he is the second in the Tianzi generation.

The woman's name is Lin Tianqin, she is 21 years old, she is the fourth level of Qi Refining, and has three spiritual roots. She is the daughter of Lin Xingsu and ranks third in the Tianzi generation.

In the Lin family, people below the fourth level of Qi refining do not study skills and concentrate on cultivation.

At the fourth level of Qi Refining, you can choose alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, array, four major types of skills, and at the fifth level of Qi Refining, you must contribute to the family.

In the world of cultivating immortals, although mastering a skill is time-consuming and labor-intensive, if you succeed in learning, you can quickly accumulate some cultivating resources, which will help you quickly improve your cultivation.

Lin Tianhong and Lin Tianqin saluted Lin Shigong and paid homage in unison;

"Tianhong Tianqin met Grandpa Jiu."

Lin Shigong said seriously:

"Find a seat and sit down. Today you will learn the basics of alchemy. If you don't understand, you can ask questions."

After Lin Tianming and the three sat upright, Lin Shigong began to explain.

Alchemy first requires pill recipes, elixirs, alchemy furnaces, earth fires, or heaven and earth fires to replace them. Both are indispensable. The higher the level of pills, the more difficult the refining process.

In addition to the necessary consumables, the way of alchemy has strict requirements on the spiritual consciousness of monks.

The stronger the consciousness, the more helpful it is for alchemy. It can accurately purify and separate the essence of the elixir, and grasp the best time to condense the alchemy, which can greatly increase the alchemy rate.

Today we will explain the most basic Bigu Pill, which is the most common first-order elixir. If you take a Bigu Pill, you can go without food for half a month.

Bigu Pill can replace food, but it cannot increase cultivation. It is the best choice for qi refining monks to practice in seclusion. After entering the foundation building stage, one can not eat or drink for several years.

The three of Lin Tianming listened attentively, and asked many various questions during the period, and Lin Shigong took the trouble to answer them one by one.

An hour passed in a blink of an eye, and Lin Tianming and the others kept the basic knowledge in mind, and they were full of interest in alchemy.

Next, I will practice a furnace of Bigu Pill, you are optimistic about it.

I saw Lin Shigong put the three-star stove on the ground fire mouth, and hit a spell on the three-star stove. The ground fire slowly gushed out dozens of flames from the fire mouth, and the temperature of the room increased a lot in an instant.

This is Jinniu grass, this is Fire Ganoderma lucidum, this is Nine Elements Flower... I saw Lin Shigong quickly throwing more than ten kinds of first-level elixir into the three-star furnace one after another. drink.

"Ning..."

The room was filled with fragrance, and Lin Shigong received his merit.

I saw seven brown pills lying in the three-star furnace, each one the size of an eyeball, a strong fragrance rushed to the face, and there were some black residues at the bottom of the alchemy furnace.

Lin Shigong nodded and said:

"One batch of medicinal materials can make up to ten pills. Only high-level alchemists can refine low-level pills to be sure. For normal alchemy, three pills can be considered qualified."

After speaking, he put away seven bigu pills, put them in the storage bag, and took out three parts of bigu pill materials. After doing these, Lin Shigong ordered:

"Tianhong, try it first."

Hearing the order, Lin Tianhong looked a little nervous, but still bit the bullet and responded:

"Yes, Grandpa Ninth!"

I saw Tianhong took a deep breath, practiced his skills, pinched his fingers with two fingers, and hit the magic spell on the alchemy furnace, and the earth fire gushed out. On the furnace.

A quarter of an hour later, there were a few crackling noises in the pill furnace, but the pill was not condensed successfully, and the pill furnace was full of slag, and the first furnace ended in failure.

Lin Tianhong smiled wryly, sweating profusely, alchemy is really not that easy.

"Tianqin, come here!"

Hearing Lin Shigong's order, Lin Tianqin began to practice kung fu, and the spell was hit on the alchemy furnace, and the refining began.

A quarter of an hour later, there were the same crisp sounds, and the result was the same as Tianhong's, and the alchemy also failed.

Lin Shigong looked calm and didn't seem to be angry, then he said:

"You two, there is not enough time to purify the elixir, and part of the essence was wasted, resulting in insufficient medicinal power. In the end, you couldn't successfully condense the alchemy. The first alchemy failed. It's normal, and you need to practice more."

The three of Lin Tianming nodded, showing half-understanding expressions.

Lin Shigong didn't say much, and was going to continue to try.

"Tianming, it's your turn, don't be impatient!"

Lin Tianming sat on the futon, relaxed his body and mind, took a deep breath, and adjusted to his best state.

With both hands pinching the sword, using the spell, sacrificing the divine consciousness, always paying attention to the strength of the ground fire, throwing all the elixir into the pill furnace in a leisurely manner, and separating the essence of the elixir at the bottom of the furnace step by step.

After a quarter of an hour passed, he poured his own spiritual power into it with all his strength, and seeing that the time was almost up, he also couldn't help shouting:

"Ning..."

For a time, a medicinal fragrance overflowed.

When the furnace cover was lifted, two oval pills were hanging in the furnace, and there were many residues at the bottom. The two pills were not round in shape, cracked and missing corners, so they could only be regarded as defective products.

Lin Tianming received his work. At this time, he was exhausted physically and mentally, and he looked like he had consumed too much, but he was very happy in his heart. It was not easy to do this for the first time in alchemy.

Lin Shigong couldn't help being shocked in his heart, but he acted very calmly.

It is not easy to practice alchemy for the first time to produce defective products. You must know that it took him dozens of times to reach Lin Tianming's level.

Lin Shigong pointed out Lin Tianming's shortcomings and encouraged him.

There were still six materials, Lin Tianming and the three of them took turns to refine, and most of the day passed quietly.

For Lin Tianming's last batch of materials, there was one Chengdan and two defective products. Lin Tianqin refined the defective products, but Lin Tianhong failed to refine them.

Lin Shigong put away the alchemy furnace, and said with a serious face:

"Leave you three jade tubes of alchemy experience. This is my life experience, combined with the experience left by my ancestors. You should study hard and try to refine the elixir as soon as possible."

After saying a few words of encouragement, the three of them were allowed to leave.

The three of Lin Tianming bowed respectfully and said:

"Thank you Grandpa (Grandpa Ninth) for your careful teaching, and my grandson is retiring."

The three walked out of the Alchemy Pavilion together.

Lin Tianming smiled and said goodbye to Lin Tianhong and Lin Tianqin.

"Second Brother and Third Sister, I'm tired today, so I don't want to disturb you. I invite you to come to my house another day to exchange ideas on alchemy and cultivation."

After Tianhong agreed, they said their goodbyes and left.

After Lin Tianming left the alchemy pavilion, he sacrificed the green bamboo sword and soared into the sky, disappearing into the sky.
