What Is Alchemy! Ordinary alchemy skills can't satisfy me!
Gu Changsheng read through the book without missing a single word.
The contents of the book were just as Ninth Uncle had said. They were all basic knowledge.
From the origin of pills, to what pills were, to the functions of pills, to how to choose herbs, to how to choose a pill furnace, and so on.
In short, there was indeed a lot of knowledge about alchemy recorded in it. After a normal person thoroughly understood the knowledge, they would indeed be able to refine low-level pills.
However, if he only wanted to refine elementary pills, then what was the point of asking for these books?
He had the highest level of comprehension, so he could master any cultivation technique manual at a glance.
If he was only here to learn an entry-level alchemy technique, then it would be too much of a waste of his full level of comprehension!
What he wanted to comprehend was a god-grade alchemy technique that was far from inferior to the Eight Wondrous Techniques and the Golden Core Great Dao.
With pearls and jade in front, those who comprehended later naturally could not fall behind.
Moreover, if he wanted to survive in this world, he needed to increase his cultivation, so he needed the help of medicinal pills.
With powerful alchemy skills, his cultivation could rise steadily, and he would have the means to protect himself. He would be able to survive in this world and have the qualifications to pursue the path of immortality!
"I'm an existence that wants to become an immortal. I still have the maximum level of comprehension. Elementary pill refinement isn't my limit.”
"What I want to comprehend is an alchemy technique that has never been seen before and will never be seen again!”
The so-called alchemy technique, also known as External Elixir Huang Bai Zhu, or Golden Elixir Technique, was also known as External Elixir. It originated from Huang Lao Dao. It was to burn medicinal herbs and minerals in an alchemy furnace to create immortal pills.
After taking it, it can transform one's yin essence into yang qi.
"Daoists use boiling gold and stone as external pills; The dragon and tiger are born and breathe out the old and absorb the new as the inner elixir.”
In Daoism, alchemy could be compared to talismans and lightning techniques. It was the specialty of Daoism.
Among the existing sects, the most skilled in alchemy was the Daoist Quan Zhen Sect and the legendary Medicine King Valley.
Alchemy should follow the laws of the natural world, the sun and moon, and the two hexagrams of heaven and earth. It should go against the changes of nature and seize the power of creation. It should return to the origin from the harmony of yin and yang and return to the Tao of nothingness.
" As lustful as spring, the liquid is like melting ice. It flows from head to toe and rises again. It goes back and forth in the endless cave.”
The history of alchemy was very long, as early as the first emperor, Qin Shihuang.
At that time, the emperor had already reached the peak of power and wealth. The only thing that could attract them now was nothing more than longevity.
Therefore, the emperor summoned all the cultivators in the world into the palace to refine immortality pills for them.
'Immortality' was just four words.
However, it was easier said than done!
It was very difficult for cultivators to achieve immortality, let alone a pill that could achieve immortality.
Moreover, most of the people summoned by the Emperor into the palace were charlatans. They could casually get some minerals and medicinal herbs to refine into pills and become the elixir of immortality.
He could only deceive ordinary people who did not know how to cultivate!
Of course, immortality wasn't without reason.
It was rumored that a Heavenly Adept Alchemist had refined the legendary Elixir of Immortality. After consuming it, one would immediately ascend and become an immortal in the sky.
Regardless of whether this matter was true or not, how many heavenly masters and alchemists in the world could refine the legendary elixir of immortality?
"Medicinal pills are ultimately external objects."
"A cultivation base that is forced up by pills is like rootless duckweed that can't withstand the wind and waves.”
"However, medicinal pills are also essential items on the path of cultivation. They can allow one to achieve twice the result with half the effort and play a powerful supporting role.”
"All in all, you can't rely too much on medicinal pills. Only when you are strong can you be truly strong!”
Gu Changsheng was very clear about the art of alchemy.
Alchemy was nothing more than extracting the impurities in the medicinal herbs, retaining the essence within, and then fusing the essence of various medicinal herbs to achieve the effect of one plus one greater than two.
In order to refine a cauldron of good pills, one needed powerful alchemy skills, high-quality medicinal herbs, earth fire, and a cauldron.
The process of refining pills was also very complicated. Just the step of purifying the medicinal ingredients would take several days.
He couldn't interrupt the process. If he did, the medicinal herb would be completely wasted, and the gains wouldn't make up for the losses!
Secondly, he had to be meticulous in his control of the earth fire.
If the flame was slightly stronger, the medicinal herbs would still end up as scrap. If the flame was slightly weaker, the medicinal herbs would not be able to be purified and there would be impurities in them.
This was also the reason why alchemists were rare. The threshold was too high!
However, Gu Changsheng's comprehension ability was at the max level, and ordinary alchemy methods were far from enough to satisfy him!
"Although ordinary alchemy techniques can refine pills, there is a high chance that the pills refined in this way will be useless. There may even be a situation where the furnace explodes.”
"Although the explosion of the furnace is a small matter, the value of the pill furnace is not low.”
"In addition, the efficiency of ordinary alchemy techniques is too slow. Usually, it takes ten days to half a month to refine a pill.”
"In fact, some of the more advanced pills may require many alchemists to work together and refine for a year or several years.”
"Such an inefficient and dangerous pill refining method is not suitable for me!”
Gu Changsheng was full of ambition. He kept trying to comprehend and simulate his own alchemy in his mind.
And the more this was the case, the more he discovered how difficult the art of alchemy was.
It was definitely not a simple matter to break the convention and comprehend an unprecedented alchemy method.
"I have the highest level of comprehension, and ordinary pill refining techniques are not my limit. My goal is to be unprecedented and unsurpassed, to be able to refine pills that belong to me alone!”
Gu Changsheng shouted in his heart as he was enlightened.
He was clearly about to grasp that feeling, but he was just one step away.
This made Gu Changsheng more and more frustrated and anxious.
At this moment, a cool breeze blew over and hit Gu Changsheng's face, as if the Goddess of the Nine Heavens was caressing his cheek.
His mood instantly calmed down, and his thoughts cleared up.
He had understood!
