Longevity Martial Arts: Start with Five Animals Health Boxing Chapter 75

   Chapter 75 Baodan Record! Qi and blood Dancheng!

   "Tell me, what's the matter." Su Changkong stared at the man, and the other party followed him furtively all the way, there must be something to hide.

   The man coughed and introduced himself: "My name is Sun Yun, Sun Fu is my second brother, and Sun Yinian is my grandfather."

   "People from Baodan Residence?"

  Su Changkong nodded slightly, the Sun Yun in front of him was somewhat similar in appearance to the Sun Fu he had seen before, but his temperament was completely different. That Sun Fu was a talented person, while this Sun Yun was decadent and overdone.

Sun Yun introduced himself, and then his eyes rolled: "You came to Baodanju just now to ask my grandfather to help with alchemy, right? I'm not talented, but I have studied alchemy for ten or twenty years, so I can give you a little bit. discount!"

  Su Changkong sounded a little funny. He didn't even trust Sun Yinian, let alone the Sun Yun in front of him. Sun Yun's alchemy skills were definitely far inferior to Sun Yinian's. Even if he didn't charge for free, he wouldn't be willing, it was a waste of money!

   "Forget it, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." Su Changkong refused directly.

   "Wait a minute! I heard you want to learn alchemy?"

   But Sun Yun immediately stopped Su Changkong.

   "Huh? Can you teach me alchemy?"

   Hearing this, Su Changkong stopped and looked back at Sun Yun.

   This Sun Yun is Sun Yinian's grandson. He followed Sun Yinian to learn alchemy since he was a child. Sun Yinian no longer accepts apprentices, so it is not impossible for him to learn alchemy from this Sun Yun!

   But Sun Yun sneered and said, "I have limited skills, and I don't have the patience to be a teacher, but... I can give you books on alchemy, you just need to learn from the above."

Saying that, Sun Yun took out a thick book that was half the width of a palm from his arms, and he smiled and said, "This is the Bao Dan Lu compiled by my grandfather, which records the refining process of some commonly used medicinal pills. It also introduces the basic techniques of alchemy in detail, which is the book that grandpa used to teach us disciples alchemy, if you want to learn alchemy, just follow the above."

  Su Changkong moved, indeed, if there were books on alchemy, it would be the same!

   "How much money do you need?" Su Changkong was also moved when he heard the words, and he asked directly.

   It is clear that Sun Yun came to sell this book, it must be for money.

   "Mr. Li is happy! For 10,000 taels of silver, this Bao Danlu will be sold to Mr. Li!"

  Sun Yun saw that Su Changkong was so eloquent, he immediately smiled and said directly.

   And Sun Yun is undoubtedly the lion's big mouth, and the mouth is 10,000 taels of silver!

  Su Changkong was expressionless: "Are you joking with Li?"

   Alchemy, 10,000 taels of silver? It's not a package of teaching and a meeting, just give a book to learn by yourself, and it costs 10,000 taels?

  Sun Yun's smile was still the same, and he said quickly: "If you think it's expensive, you can get a discount, 9,000 taels!"

  Su Changkong didn't say anything, Sun Yun gritted his teeth: "8000 taels! This book was compiled by my grandfather for decades. It's hard for outsiders to see it, and it's definitely impossible to buy it with money!"

   "7000 taels! Can't be any lower!"

   Sun Yun exclaimed.

But Su Changkong was still unmoved, just looked at Sun Yun and said: "My money is all in exchange for my life, your treasure pill record is at best a guide to getting started with alchemy, and there is no famous teacher to guide, I may buy it. I can't even read it, I'm really interested in alchemy, but it's not worth it if the price is too high!”

  Sun Yun was helpless, and said a little discouraged: "Then how much do you think you can pay?"

   "2000 taels, one or two more won't work!" Su Changkong thought for a while, and finally gave his bottom line price.

At the Zhao family auction, a very exquisite red fire art was sold for more than 1,000 taels of silver. The rare thing is the most expensive. Willing to pay for it!

"Okay...Okay, it's stingy...Two thousand taels is only two thousand taels, if it wasn't for lack of money...I wouldn't sell you, and you can't tell others that I sold it to you, grandpa has to interrupt when he knows it. My legs can't be!"

   Seeing that Su Changkong couldn't agree, he immediately turned around and left, Sun Yun finally collapsed, waved his hands weakly and agreed, and repeatedly told Su Changkong not to tell others about their transactions.

Sun Yun was Sun Yinian's grandson, but he was idle and extravagant on weekdays, owed a lot of debt outside, and he didn't dare to tell his grandfather that he overheard Su Changkong and Sun Fu's conversation outside the door today, so he moved. Mind, followed, and wanted to sell a large sum of money with Baodan Lu to pay off the foreign debt.

   But Su Changkong doesn't care about this. He just wants to get this treasure pill record and study it. As long as he can learn the alchemy technique, he can be self-sufficient. He doesn't need to look at the faces of outsiders and be taken advantage of!

Su Changkong took out 2,000 taels of silver from his bosom and handed it over to Sun Yun. Sun Yun also handed the Baodan Lu to Su Changkong, and at the same time he said, "If you follow this Baodan Lu, you won't be able to learn it. Alchemy, that's none of my business! It's your fault!"

Su Changkong was too lazy to tell Sun Yunduo that if there was no problem with the Baodan Record, it would naturally be his problem whether he could learn the alchemy technique, but if he found out that the Baodan Record was falsified, it would cost him both money and energy. , then Su Changkong will definitely not make Sun Yun feel better!

   After completing the transaction, Sun Yun shrank his head and walked out of the alley, looking around for a while, before finishing his clothes and pacing out of here.

   "You want to study alchemy with just one book? What a fool's dream! I was taught and instructed by my grandfather since I was a child, and I know nothing about alchemy!"

  Sun Yun sneered secretly as he walked away.

An accomplished alchemist not only needs theoretical knowledge, but also needs a lot of practice and experience to accumulate, spending money like flowing water, otherwise in this huge Molinfu city, those alchemists will not be so rare, and they are all from big families. Only members have the ability and resources to build an experienced alchemist!

   Therefore, in Sun Yun's view, it is unlikely that Su Changkong wanted to learn alchemy by relying on a book. Most of the time, he learned a few days, suffered several setbacks, and decided to give up after heavy losses.

  Su Changkong naturally didn't know what Sun Yun was thinking. He recorded Baodan and returned to the manor he rented in Chengxi District all the way.

   "Look at this treasure pill record."

  Su Changkong took out the Baodan Record and read it carefully.

  Su Changkong still has certain confidence in whether he can learn alchemy. His potential value is as high as 15 points. His aptitude and understanding are not comparable to ordinary people, and it is not only effective for martial arts.

   It is like Su Changkong's forging technique, it is because of his potential that he can reach a level that others can't reach in a few years!

  Su Changkong carefully read the Baodan Record word by word, and the more he looked, the more amazed he became.

"This alchemy technique is indeed a technical activity, and it is more complicated than forging. Alchemy technique is to refine various medicinal materials and substances into alchemy through the two major categories of fire method and water method, so that these The material exerts the most extreme or even beyond the extreme effect!"

   "The fire method generally includes calcining, refining, roasting, melting, pumping, flying, and volting, and the water method includes melting, drenching, sealing, boiling, boiling, brewing, etc..."

  Su Changkong was a little fascinated by it. This "Bao Dan Lu" is indeed not a masterpiece of Dan Tao. In fact, if it is really the work of Dan Tao master, Su Changkong has no foundation and is impossible to understand.

   But this Baodan Record is the work of an old alchemist for decades. It records the basics of alchemy. It is indeed very suitable for alchemists to get started!

  Su Changkong spent a day and a night reading this treasured pill in its entirety, and he also had a general understanding of alchemy in his heart.

   "No matter how rich the theoretical knowledge is, it is only on paper. I have to get started myself and summarize experience and lessons through practice and failure."

  Su Changkong decided to practice and start alchemy!

   Alchemy is not enough for one pill furnace.

  A lot of tools are needed for alchemy, such as a distiller for distillation, a grinder for grinding, an alchemy stove, a cauldron, a cooking pot, and a pump, etc.

  Su Changkong immediately started to buy these tools. Fortunately, these tools can be bought with money. Su Changkong spent two days to set up a special alchemy room in the manor.

   "Let's first refine the living qi pill for hand training recorded in the Baodan Record."

  Su Changkong was flipping through the books. There are several common medicinal pills in the Baodan Record, Jinchuangdan and Huoqi Dan.

   Among them, this living qi pill is to accelerate the recovery of vigor, and it is effective for warriors to restore physical strength and infuriating energy. It is a quite practical pill!

   "Sawgrass needs to be boiled for a long time, and Huoxuehua needs to be roasted until there is no moisture, and then ground into powder."

  Su Changkong followed the steps in the Baodan Record and started the preparation of materials before alchemy. These medicinal materials are relatively common and can be bought with money, but the price is not cheap!

  Su Changkong was busy for two hours before he finished preparing and concocting the materials, and then it was the official alchemy.

In front of Su Changkong, there is a pill stove with a diameter of half a meter and a height of one foot. It cost Su Changkong a full 500 taels of silver.

  Su Changkong started to make a fire. He used high-quality coal with high density and carbon content. This coal is smokeless and can emit a high temperature!

  Hoo!

  Under the dan furnace, the flame rose, but the dan furnace heated, Su Changkong poured water from the water outlet of the dan furnace, and then added a variety of materials, before and after, adding more than ten kinds of medicinal materials.

   "Turn up the heat!"

  Su Changkong pushed the bellows, causing the flames under the Pill Stove to rise.

  The most important part of alchemy is of course the alchemy process. It is necessary to grasp the heat perfectly, and the time to open the furnace must be perfect, not too early or too late!

  Su Changkong has experience in forging, he is very patient, and sometimes he will add water from the water outlet of the pill furnace.

   Above the whole mouth of the Pill Stove, there is smoke rising from the air outlet, and there is a smell of medicine!

   "Crack!"

  Everything seemed to be going very smoothly, but as time passed, after an hour, there was a slight sound coming out of the pill furnace, and at the same time, a burning smell came out.

   "Failed..." Su Changkong had a hint of helplessness on his face, knowing that his first attempt at alchemy ended in failure.

   Sure enough, Su Changkong opened the lid of the Pill Stove, and he saw scorched objects sticking to the barrier of the Pill Stove. This time, nearly a hundred taels of silver were washed away!

   Fortunately, Su Changkong was mentally prepared, he cleaned the inside of the pill furnace, washed it in a small pool, and restarted the second pill refining.

   "Last time, the heat was not well controlled." Su Changkong learned from his experience.

  Alchemy (17% for entry)

After a busy day, Su Changkong failed to refine a pot of vital energy pills. He spent several hundred taels of silver, but it was not all in vain. In the skill column of his attribute panel, in addition to forging, there was another pill refining. technique!

   "The next step is to continuously refine the Living Qi Pill, which is used to practice hands, and when the proficiency and success rate come up, refine the Qi and Blood Pill."

  Su Changkong is full of power.

It is naturally impossible to practice with Qi and Blood Pill. The material for a Qi and Blood Pill is 3,000 taels of silver, not to mention Su Changkong, even the richest family in Molin City cannot be so prodigal and extravagant. .

   Facts have proved that Su Changkong's 15-point potential value is not a decoration. It only took Su Changkong a week, his alchemy technique has reached the realm of a first-level glimpse of the door!

   At this time, Su Changkong already had a chance of success in refining the Living Qi Pill!

   "Successful refining?"

  Beside the Pill Stove, Su Changkong's face was full of joy as he looked at the burnt out Pill Stove, and there were a few pills with residual warmth on the top of the stove.

   There were ten pills in total, and Su Changkong took them out one by one with a jade spoon and examined them carefully.

   "There are a total of 10 vital energy pills, only two of them are successful pills, and the other eight are all waste pills!"

  Su Changkong found that of the ten medicinal pills in this pot, only two of them were of qualified quality, and the other eight had either a burnt smell or a mellow mass that would dissipate when touched!

   But anyway, this is a good start, making Su Changkong more motivated!

   If the people in Baodanju knew that it took only six or seven days for Su Changkong to go from ignorant of alchemy to successfully refining it into a living qi pill, it would definitely be a shock!

Although   Huoqi Pill is used to practice hand medicine, the difficulty is not high, but ordinary people have to practice hard for several months or even half a year to have the opportunity to make the finished product alone. Su Changkong only spent a week, this is definitely a genius level!

"continue!"

  Su Changkong has been sleeping and eating, completely immersed in alchemy, just like his first martial arts practice and his first forging, once he has a goal and direction, he will keep walking!

   Time has passed, and it has been three months since Su Changkong came to Molin Mansion City. During these three months, apart from his daily practice of martial arts, most of his energy was devoted to alchemy.

   alchemy (5% for 3 levels)

   In three months, Su Changkong's alchemy technique has advanced by leaps and bounds, from the original entry to the 3rd realm, with a little success!

  The amazing talent brought by 15 points of potential value, this progress is undoubtedly jaw-dropping for ordinary people, but Su Changkong is also quite painful: "Three months, it cost me about 30,000 taels of silver..."

   In order to quickly master the alchemy technique, Su Changkong practiced alchemy every day, and he had to spend about three hundred taels of silver a day. After three months, he spent 30,000 taels of silver, which undoubtedly caused Su Changkong's pain.

   In Qingshui City, Su Changkong took risks to hunt the disciples of the Black Lotus Sect. In order to make amends, the county magistrate Wang Yun took out all his family property, and Su Changkong accumulated nearly 50,000 taels of silver.

   Now it has only been three months, and it has only cost more than half of it. It is no wonder that there are so few alchemy masters. Indeed, only those big families with rich wealth and daily advancement are qualified to cultivate!

   "My alchemy technique has reached the third realm, and the success rate of refining vital qi pills has also greatly increased. It's time to try refining qi and blood pills!"

  Su Changkong took a deep breath, a little excited and a little nervous.

   With his capital, all the remaining belongings are enough materials for 6 qi and blood pills. Can he make qi and blood pills, and how many pots can he successfully make?

   "Thinking too much is useless! Start right away!"

  Su Changkong didn't think about it so much, the big deal was that he failed completely. With his xinxing, he could still bear this kind of blow and price!

   "Blood clover, boiled for three hours, distilled by distillation method, the remaining water is used for alchemy, 20-year-old blood ginseng, juiced and ground into powder."

   Living Qi Pill is just an entry-level medicinal pill, and the refining steps and difficulty of Qi and Blood Pill are several times more complicated and higher than those of Living Qi Pill. Su Changkong patiently carried out the preparations.

  Everything was ready, Su Changkong opened the furnace to make alchemy, and put in the fourteen or five kinds of prepared medicinal materials one by one.

   is followed by the control of the heat, adding the required materials if necessary.

Under the    pill stove, the flames rose, Su Changkong didn't dare to be careless, he focused his attention, paid attention to the movement in the pill stove, pulled the bellows, controlled the size of the fire, and was meticulous.

   "Alas... it really failed."

   Time passed, until at night, Su Changkong let out a sigh, looking at the lump of paste in the pill furnace, his heart beat fiercely.

   This time, it was three thousand taels of silver that went to waste!

  Su Changkong's remaining money was bought by him at Wanlin Pavilion into the medicinal materials needed for the Qi and Blood Pill.

  Su Changkong did not continue, but took a good rest first, adjusted his mental and physical condition to the peak, and then started the second alchemy. He had six chances!

   The second batch, still failed!

"Failed again? It's clear that the heat has been perfectly controlled this time. Could it be that the steps in handling the medicinal materials went wrong?" Even with Su Changkong's mentality, his heart twitched. Floating!

   However, Su Changkong adjusted his state and carefully read the recipe of Qi and Blood Pill, including the treatment of medicinal materials, the techniques and steps of alchemy, all of which were carefully printed in his heart, and then started from scratch for the third alchemy.

  The time came to evening again, Su Changkong stopped adding carbon, the flames under the Dan stove gradually dimmed, and Su Changkong was extremely anxious.

  Hoo!

When time passed, a white gas with a reddish color rushed out from the elixir furnace, like a thin silk thread, at the same time, a fragrant fragrance filled the room, smelling It makes the blood boil, and the mouth is full of fluids!
