The White Yang Pill required 36 types of Essence Qi to harmonize. This was the recipe that Jiang Yuanchen had developed on his own. What was the most difficult step in refining a Qi Pill? The collection of Essence Qi!
Since it was difficult for Qi Pill cultivators, he could ask other cultivators to do the collection of Essence Qi. An array cultivator could build a Essence Qi array to collect Essence Qi, then an artifact cultivator could further refine the Essence Qi, a pill cultivator would be responsible for the final balance of Essence Qi, and a talisman cultivator would be responsible for sealing the pill.
Using pills as currency involved the most important step, and that was time. Because elixirs were things that could be consumed, there were many requirements in terms of time. Some elixirs could only exist for a quarter of an hour and could not be contaminated by the outside world's Yuan Qi. As for the White Yang Pill, because its Essence Qi was perfectly integrated, it could be preserved for up to 300 years. However, in order to preserve this pill longer, a talisman cultivator had to leave a layer of talisman runes on the surface of the pill to extend its lifespan.
The alchemists themselves knew how to do this, but in order to speed up the process, Jiang Yuanchen had asked for talisman cultivators from his sect to help him.
Xun Yang muttered, "This way, you have exposed the White Yang Pill recipe. According to your idea, the recipe for the White Yang Pill will probably be promoted to other sects in the future, right?"
"That's right." Jiang Yuanchen was unusually nervous. He carefully worded his words. "If this system is promoted, I, the Taixu Taoism, will have a great merit. Moreover, if we keep it a secret, the Nine Immortals Sect can also jointly promote the pill and put our own logo on it. "
Yes, it would be a great merit. Burying the spirit stones back into the ground would at least slow down the consumption of the earth's spirit veins. In the past, Xun Yang had written a treatise on the future of Daoism, which was the one that Chen Hao knew about. Two thousand years later, the Spiritual State would no longer exist! This was because the regeneration of spirit stones could not keep up with the consumption!
Therefore, Xun Yang used the theory in the treatise to calculate Jiang Yuanchen's currency system. Although the Essence Qi Pill could save time and effort, it would not last long if the Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth was collected uncontrollably. In the end, it would thin out the Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth. The Spiritual State could only last for 3,000 years at most. If they could plant more spiritual plants in the Spiritual State to circulate the void essence and the earth energy veins in the land, the Spiritual State could last for 5,000 years. This was the limit, as it perfectly utilized of all of the resources in the Kyushu World and minimized the Essence Qi of Heaven and earth.
However, the Essence Qi of Pill was constantly decreasing. Cultivators breathed in and out the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. After death, the Spiritual Qi would return to the Heaven and Earth. However, the Heaven and Earth would only recover 70% to 90% of the Spiritual Qi. This was also the reason why the Origin of each world was constantly being consumed and eventually falling into the Returning Void.
"We can give it a try, but this kind of thing that involves the inheritance of the sect …" Frowning, this kind of matter was really not easy to decide.
Dao! Dao of Dao of Tian of Yang. Jiang Yuanchen hurriedly said, "It's just the White Yang Pill. Furthermore, we're looking for a cultivator from our sect to research a method to quickly condense the pill. We just need to choose a secluded valley. Yang.
Yang. Xun Yang thought for a while. Looking at Jiang Yuanchen's expectant face, he nodded in agreement. Forget it. He would give Jiang Yuanchen a chance. If he failed, it would be a learning experience. If he succeeded, he could test the feasibility of this experiment in the Three Kingdoms.
"Tong 'er, bring Yang Ling here." Xun Yang called for his Dao child to bring Yang Ling here. He smiled. "But why elixirs? Perhaps talisman cultivators' talismans would be more convenient? "
"Martial Uncle, I am an elixir cultivator," Jiang Yuanchen said leisurely.
Yes, Jiang Yuanchen was an elixir cultivator. His idea would naturally be beneficial to the Qi Dan Lineage. In the future, the Qi Dan Lineage might prosper. Thousands of years later, the younger cultivators could still mention this senior who revived the Qi Dan Lineage. On the other hand, this was also a great merit that he had conspired for.
"Moreover, what kind of talisman do talisman cultivators need to choose? Nine Immortals Gate would definitely need to jointly distribute it, right? Although it is more convenient than White Yang Pill, what about the material? Should the talisman be engraved on talisman paper, leaves, animal skin, or spirit jade? The cost of spirit jade is too high. Animal skin and leaves are extremely difficult to maintain. Even talisman paper requires special materials, right? " Jiang Yuanchen argued. "And if one learns to condense Qi into talismans like the Qi Dan Lineage, how many people can use this method?"
"Seal of Mountains and Rivers!" Xun Yang smiled. He was a master of talismans. "Use the Seal of Mountains and Rivers to forcibly form the Qi of Heaven and Earth, or refine a special seal to engrave talisman money."
"We are back to the original problem." Jiang Yuanchen sighed. "There are nine sides to the Seal of Mountains and Rivers. Now, one is in the Thunder State's Divine Path, and a few are lost. The Nine Immortals Gate will not approve this plan because someone is unfavorable! And choosing to carve a new seal, is there any difference between this and my Qi Dan White Yang Array? Moreover, what are the effects of talismans? Are they just good-looking talismans, or talismans that can attack and defend? If we use talismans of equivalent value to exchange with elixirs, I believe that many people will choose elixirs instead of talismans. "
Elixirs are perfectly round, and their shelf life is longer than talismans. Can you make a talisman engraved on an ordinary piece of yellow paper last for a hundred years? Not to mention the paper, even if there is a slight mistake in the lines on it, the talisman will be useless.
"Talismans that have no use value at all only rely on the reputation of the sect to add value. Who would hand over their future wealth to these sects that might be destroyed in the future? Unless it is the Sky Gate Path, right? " Jiang Yuanchen said, "Elixirs are different. The essence of the White Yang Pill is pure Yang Qi. It can help with cultivation and can replace part of the effects of spirit stones."
What use did spirit stones have? They could be used for cultivation, for setting up arrays, and for refining weapons. However, how long could low-grade spirit stones last for refining weapons and setting up arrays? It was better to exchange them for White Yang Pills and use them at a 10% discount to buy magic tools and flags for setting up arrays.
"Therefore, this plan of yours can only be carried out on a small scale in the Three Nations," Xun Yang asserted. "I am afraid that the major sects will not let you control them!"
"Yes, I have thought of that as well. That is why I made an issue out of the itinerant cultivators in the Three Nations. After all, in the major sects, even the disciples are restricted from using elixirs to cultivate. They can only use these low quality itinerant cultivators as the initial test subjects. "
"Xuan Ming greets Sect Master."
Xun Yang was about to say something when he suddenly heard Yang Ling asking for an audience outside the door. He said, "Come in."
Xun Yang told Yang Ling about Jiang Yuanchen's plan. "You go with him to take a look. Bring Xuan Chong and Xuan Yue along as well. The four of you will each lead four Jade Liquid level cultivators in the sect who are proficient in alchemy, tools, and talismans to the White Yang Mountain Range's Li Chen Valley to set up an alchemy array."
With that, Xun Yang handed the alchemy array he had modified to Jiang Yuanchen and Xuan Ming. "Set it up according to this diagram."
Talismans had talisman arrays, and pill cultivators also had so-called alchemy arrays. However, this kind of large array was the privilege of the Qi Pill Dao. Setting up a huge alchemy array to continuously absorb and release spirit energy and turn it into elixirs according to a certain procedure was the patent of the Qi Pill Dao. The Taixu Taoism also had two Qi Pill Great Arrays. One was an ordinary detoxification array, and the other was the lowest grade Qi Replenishing array. Even if it was a layman cultivator, they only needed to activate the large array. It would naturally absorb and release the spirit energy of heaven and earth and extract the necessary spirit energy to condense into elixirs.
The White Yang Pill required thirty-six kinds of spirit energy. The scale of this kind of alchemy array was very large. The diagram that Jiang Yuanchen designed was simplified a lot after Xun Yang improved it, but it still made the four disciples and sixteen fellow disciples busy for three days in the Li Chen Valley.
Yang Ling was responsible for building the model of the array. Lin Zixuan carved the various jade pillars and cauldrons needed. Mu Qingyi was responsible for the evolution of the runes. And Jiang Yuanchen repeatedly deduced the synthesis of the thirty-six kinds of spirit energy and the procedure to adjust the flame.
"It's done!" Three days later, a large array with a radius of three hundred feet appeared in the valley. Thirty-six jade pillars were arranged at the edge of the large array. The ground was paved with fine gold. Tiny runes were engraved on the fine gold iron pipes that connected the jade pillars to the central cauldron.
"Let's begin!" Jiang Yuanchen heaved a sigh of relief. The group stood in their positions. First, the four array cultivators operated the large array under Yang Ling's lead. The runes on the thirty-six jade pillars lit up. Thirty-six rays of spiritual light extracted the spirit energy in the valley and sent it into the fine gold iron pipes.
At this time, it could be seen why the thirty-six jade pillars were of different heights and sizes. It was because the amount of spirit energy required was different. Some required a lot of spirit energy, while some required a little. Therefore, the thirty-six jade pillars were of different sizes, and the amount of spirit energy stored was also different.
And because the sequence of the thirty-six kinds of spirit energy was different, the length of the gold pipes connected to the jade pillars was also different. The first to be adjusted was the straight pipe, and the last to be adjusted was the curved pipe. After the jade pillars absorbed the spirit energy and closed, the spirit energy flowed into the gold pipes and into the central cauldron, turning into liquid.
That's right, this kind of fine gold spirit pipe had the effect of tempering spirit energy. This was the responsibility of the weapon cultivator. They controlled the spirit energy in the pipe to temper the spirit energy into liquid and flow into the gold cauldron. The straight spirit energy first flowed into the gold cauldron. Then, the valve was closed to release the curved spirit energy. Finally, Jiang Yuanchen and the four pill cultivators were responsible for controlling the fire of the cauldron to temper the spirit energy.
A day later, the spirit energy in the cauldron was boiling. Jiang Yuanchen's hands formed a spiritual seal. "Open!"
The gold cauldron opened wide. A white lotus flew out. One hundred and eight pills flew out from the lotus head. They were then sealed by the restrictive spells cast by the disciples led by Mu Qingyi. The lotus that Jiang Yuanchen used to hold up the pills was shattered by Mu Qingyi. Each lotus petal carried a white pill and turned it into a placenta seal. She even put a Pure Yang Seal of Taixu Taoism on the surface of the pills.
"This way, the medicinal effects can be maintained for six hundred years." Mu Qingyi put the pills into a jade bottle. After appraising it, she said to Jiang Yuanchen and the others.
"Although it is faster than the five of us, it can at most produce a hundred pills a day?"
"That was the first test. Next, let's test the upper limit of this Qi Dan White Yang Array." Lin Zixuan thought. "Junior Brother Yang, absorb the spirit energy with all your strength. After the first wave of spirit energy is absorbed, absorb another portion of spirit energy and store it in the jade pillar. This should save some time."
The first test was to test the operation of the Elixir Array. The second test was to test the upper limit. Similarly, a day passed. A huge lotus flew out from the cauldron. Three hundred and twelve White Yang Pills flew out from it. This was the limit of the Elixir Array. Even Jiang Yuanchen and the others had to carefully control the majestic magic power within it.
Lin Zixuan and Yang Ling discussed for a while. The two of them discussed the upper limit of the Elixir Array and the quality of the materials.
"Two hundred to two hundred and thirty pills. This range can be used as the limit for daily use. Divide the Elixir Array into three parts, Qi Gathering, Liquid Condensation, and Elixir Formation. During the Liquid Condensation, prepare the next wave of spirit energy and complete the Liquid Condensation process when the Elixir Formation is formed. This way, we can reduce the consumption of time. " Lin Zixuan discussed the final result with Jiang Yuanchen. Jiang Yuanchen calculated and said, "If that's the case, we need ten batches of pills to repair it?"
"That's right. In order for the Elixir Array to operate for a long time, we need to inspect the cauldron every once in a while. Similarly, don't you also need to clean the remaining Elixir Qi in the cauldron? "Lin Zixuan was a master of refining weapons. He had absolute authority when it came to materials.
"Then let's do it this way. The three nations will need to operate the Elixir Array for at least a few years!" Jiang Yuanchen sighed. "If the people from the Nine Nation Alliance cause trouble at this time and specially use spirit stones to exchange for White Yang Pills, it will be difficult for us."
In particular, the people from the Nine Nation Alliance would specially store the pills in the Three Yang Elixir House and then deliberately gather together to retrieve the pills. Jiang Yuanchen probably did not have that many pills to exchange for.
"I'll leave the refinement of the White Yang Pill to you guys. As for me, I'll go and refine the Emerald Yang Pill." Jiang Yuanchen handed the control of the Elixir Array to the alchemists and hurried back to refine the Emerald Yang Pill. The requirements for the Emerald Yang Pill's Elixir Array were too high. Jiang Yuanchen could not carve it at the moment, let alone get someone to modify it. Therefore, he still needed to refine it himself.
However, Jiang Yuanchen was thinking too much. The sect leader of the Qinghe Sect and Mr. Zhou were not fools. Naturally, they could tell that their sect might not be able to take out so many pills to exchange for. Therefore, they held several auctions in succession. Moreover, Hyun Jin also took out many items from the Longyuan Treasure House to auction in order to reclaim the pills. With that, they managed to maintain this weak new currency system.
