In the next couple of days, Lin Yi studied the notes that Zhang Liju had left behind.
Lin Yi didn't put it into practice immediately, instead focusing on the refinement fire training incantation- it was short, but hard to understand. Before he understood the meaning behind it, Lin Yi didn't want to train recklessly!
Some impatient people would often start to cultivate after obtaining a secret manual. In the end, they would only realize that they were cultivating in the wrong direction or cultivating in the wrong way when they were halfway through the cultivation. Or they had taken a detour and so on …
It wasn't that there weren't people like this, but there were too many of them- they'd have to train from scratch, or they'd go crazy. Anyways, Lin Yi didn't want to be someone like that.
This was like a joke that Lin Yi had seen before, where Yue Buqun got the Bixie Sword Manual, and was extremely happy. He opened the first page, and it said, "To train in this art, one must castrate oneself first." He thought about it for a long time, and in order to become number one in the world, he decided to do it. But he fainted from the pain, and when he woke up, he flipped to the second page, pissing him off- the second page said, "Even if you castrate yourself, you may not succeed." He endured the pain and heartache and suddenly flipped to the third page. As soon as he saw it, he was so angry that he vomited blood and died! The third page said, "You don't have to castrate yourself to succeed."
Of course, this was just a joke- it was an exaggeration- Lin Yi didn't know if there were people this stupid and sad in real life, but there were definitely people who were too impatient! This was what it meant to be impatient, not eating hot tofu!
Naipao was training hard in the wasp bush- the hot sun made him sweat all over, but he didn't feel tired at all … Suddenly, he sneezed!
“？” Naipao rubbed his nose and looked up at the sun, confused. How could he sneeze on a hot day like this? Was someone talking about him behind his back?
Naipao didn't understand what was going on, and so he shook his head and continued training! He swore in his heart: I want to become a super master, I want to kill Lin Yi!
The first thing Lin Yi studied was the fire element refiner's practitioner's art. This was also the one most refiners would choose, since it was versatile and could be used to concoct a lot of normal elixirs. Of course, unless the practitioner's body was restricted by the practitioner's practitioner's qi, there were some who would clash with the fire element refiner's fire, such as those who practiced the ice element's practitioner's arts. These people would basically never succeed in practicing the fire element refiner's fire, but if they practiced the water element, their chances of success would be higher.
In order to cultivate alchemic fire, besides true energy, one also needed a strong mental perception.
The so-called Spiritual Perception was a rather mysterious existence. To put it bluntly, it was able to use Spiritual Perception to sense the state of the elixir in the furnace and change the size and temperature of the alchemy fire. After all, every elixir had a different congealing process. If the alchemy fire was too strong or the congealing time was too long, it could affect the final quality of the elixir and even turn it into a furnace of useless elixirs!
Of course, there was no need to use spiritual perception to refine the same type of elixir. Even if one did not have spiritual perception, they would still be able to find a pattern from the failures and increase their success rate!
However, this didn't matter to low-grade pills with ordinary materials. After all, there were plenty of raw materials, and they could be casually wasted. But for high-grade pills, it wasn't easy to gather enough materials to refine a pill. How could they waste the opportunity to experiment?
So, it was destined that alchemists without strong mental perception could only stay at the beginner level. Even if their alchemic fire was trained to the seventh level of the yellow level, they still wouldn't be able to successfully refine a seventh level pill.
As a result, the profession of an alchemist became extremely prominent, even more respected than a cultivator. The Sun family, a family with a healing mental cultivation method, had become a transcendent existence, not to mention an alchemist who could refine pills with the same effect.
However, because alchemic fire was difficult to cultivate, the amount of true energy consumed was huge, and with the limitation of mental perception, the number of alchemists was limited, and they were destined to be a rare existence!
And alchemists had also become the target of many forces, because if a family or sect had an alchemist, they might be able to soar.
Of course, Lin Yi's goal in learning alchemy was very simple. There was nothing else to do at the moment, so he might as well find something to do. Otherwise, when the snow stopped, it would be very boring.
After completely memorizing the mantra of alchemic fire catalyzing, Lin Yi was ready to start trying to catalyze alchemic fire. Alchemic fire wasn't formed out of thin air, but using the mantra of alchemic fire training, it converted the true energy in the cultivator's body into alchemic fire. Therefore, if one wasn't a high level cultivator, they wouldn't be able to withstand such a huge consumption of true energy. This was also the reason why golden class cultivators couldn't become a seventh level golden class alchemist, because if their true energy couldn't keep up, they might give up halfway on the path of alchemy, resulting in the destruction of the pill or the explosion of the furnace.
However, even if you were a Heaven Stage expert and had boundless True Qi in your body, you could use it at will, but not every cultivator could freely use the Dan Fire Catalyzing Mental Cultivation Method. Some cultivators, even if they could catalyze the Dan Fire, the speed of catalyzing was still the most important!
If the qi catalyzed quickly, the alchemic fire would naturally be strong, but if the qi catalyzed slowly, the alchemic fire would naturally be small. During alchemy, the control of the fire couldn't be neglected. Alchemy required different types of pills to adjust the intensity of the fire. You might suddenly need to increase the intensity of the fire to condense the pill, but if you had true energy and couldn't catalyze the alchemic fire, you could only worry about it, and the entire furnace of pills would be ruined!
Therefore, because of this restriction, many people could not continue on the path of alchemy. The number of people who truly became alchemists could be described as pitifully small. Of course, this pitifully small number was compared to the base number of cultivators.
But, because of this, the identity and status of these alchemists couldn't be ignored. This was also why Zhang Liju had friends all over the world. Which force didn't want to be friends with a supreme class alchemist like him?
