And so, Mystic first level elixirs were usually called supreme elixirs, meaning that they had already surpassed the level of normal elixirs.
Of course, other than that, this elixir master's notes did contain some recipes for elixirs above Mystic first level, but as far as Zhang Liju was concerned, these recipes were either bullshit, or they were impossible to achieve!
Some ingredients that couldn't be formed into elixirs were put together, and even if the furnace didn't explode, it wouldn't be possible to form elixirs. Zhang Liju tried a couple of times, and after getting blown up, he had no choice but to give up.
What a cultivator cultivates is either the True Qi or the physique, which is the accumulation of the True Qi or the enhancement of the physique, but what an alchemist cultivates is the alchemy fire, which is the control and enhancement of the alchemy fire, and the so-called alchemy fire, is divided into many kinds, basically divided into five kinds, gold, wood, earth, water, and fire. The fire is the basic of the basic, and the general alchemist will choose the fire, because the fire can condense the most kinds of dans, only some special dans need to use other alchemy fire.
Of course, one could also choose to dual practice, but everyone's energy was limited. Dual practice of refinement fire was different from physical and spiritual practitioners. Both internal and external practitioners complemented each other, but dual practice of refinement fire required starting from the beginning!
Even if you managed to cultivate a fire element Dan Fire to Huang level 7, if you wanted to cultivate a water element Dan Fire, you would have to start from the beginning. Therefore, unless you were a great success alchemist, you wouldn't choose to dual cultivate. That was simply asking for trouble and having nothing better to do.
Raising the refinement fire required training of the refinement fire's temperature, flame size, and purity. It was a completely different path from physical and spiritual practitioners!
The basic requirement to become a refiner was to be a practitioner, and a spiritual practitioner at that! In other words, to become a Golden class refiner, one had to have the strength of a Golden class spiritual practitioner. Similarly, to become a Mystic class refiner, one had to have the strength of a Mystic class spiritual practitioner! But, these were all theoretical data- according to Zhang Liju's records, even a spiritual practitioner of Sky class might not be able to become a Mystic first level refiner. In order to train the refiner's fire, they needed a huge amount of qi!
Lin Yi didn't think that becoming an alchemist was such a complicated matter. No wonder a Yellow-Level Third Level Qi Gathering Pill could cause such an uproar, not to mention those higher level pills!
However, Lin Yi had nothing to do now, and it was already a vast expanse of whiteness outside the window. Lin Yi might as well stay in the inn and cultivate his alchemy skills.
In the notes of the refiner, Zhang Liju had detailed notes on the refiner's fire practitioner's mantra for the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. There weren't many mantras for each element, and the refiner's mantra was very simple and not complicated. It was just a mantra to convert the qi in the practitioner's body into the corresponding refiner's fire. As a result, a Golden class practitioner could only become a Golden class refiner at most, because it was limited by the level of qi one's body had.
But in fact, due to the fact that a Golden class practitioner's qi was limited- the practitioner's arts and refinement fire's arts weren't completely compatible with each other, and it would cause some errors and damage. It was basically impossible to become a Golden class seventh level refiner with the strength of a Golden class spiritual practitioner. Usually, it would be good if they could reach Golden class first or second level, not even third level was possible.
Lin Yi was now a Mystic, and his starting point was considered quite high. Plus, Lin Yi's knowledge of medicinal properties was incomparable to others!
Recipes were important to a refiner, but those who were limited to recipes, even if they were a Mystic first level refiner, wouldn't be able to achieve much. This was because they didn't understand medicinal properties, and in a situation where there was a shortage of ingredients, they couldn't change the recipe as they pleased. Naturally, they were much weaker than those refiners who knew medicinal properties and could change the recipe on their own!
Zhang Liju, on the other hand, was one of those refiners who could change the recipe on their own!
According to the notes, Zhang Liju said that the qi gathering pill was originally a supreme level elixir, but he changed it into a third level elixir. The medicinal properties weren't as strong as before, and everyone could only use one in their lifetime. It didn't have the same effect as the original qi gathering pill that could be used by Sky class cultivators, but the cost was much lower!
The ingredients needed to make the real qi gathering pill could only be described as shocking. Lin Yi looked at the recipe, and it gave Lin Yi a feeling that it wasn't just shocking, it was inexplicable! Many of the ingredients mentioned were things that Lin Yi had never heard of before!
Looking at this, Lin Yi felt a little discouraged! Although he had a deep understanding of medicinal properties, these ingredients that he had never seen or even heard of, even if Lin Yi wanted to, he wouldn't be able to change them as he pleased!
After all, Lin Yi didn't know what these ingredients were used for, and what effect they had in the elixir making process. Naturally, he wouldn't be able to find a substitute for them.
But no matter what, the recipe that Zhang Liju left behind was enough for Lin Yi to use for a while. Most of the ingredients that Zhang Liju had changed were common ingredients that could be easily bought from the market. Even if there were some rare ones, they could be grown in Old Lin's herb garden.
But on the high level recipes that hadn't been changed, there were many ingredients that he had never seen before, such as the Fire Spirit's Fruit. It made Lin Yi's eyes blur!
Before practicing, Lin Yi was still planning to call Old Lin to ask for his opinion, just like when he first started practicing the Art of Dragon Mastery.
He used the satellite phone to call Old Lin, and after a while, the other side picked up. Old Lin's lazy voice came through the phone, "Yi? What's up? I'm taking a nap right now, did you find the Fire Spirit's Fruit? "
Lin Yi was a little speechless. The old man cared about him more than anyone else, but he didn't care about him at all. He'd been gone for a couple of days now, and the old man hadn't even called to check up on him. Lin Yi didn't know if the old man was really that confident in him, thinking that he'd be fine.
"Not yet- I just arrived at a place called Icesnow Town near the extreme north. According to the coordinates, the extreme north is right in front of the town, but I couldn't find a way out after a couple of directions. I was just about to try walking when it started snowing heavily. The visibility was too low, so I found an inn to stay in. I'll go check it out after the snow is over." Lin Yi explained his situation to Old Lin in one breath.
