Qin Di didn't have much hope when he came to the Celestial Fire Valley. He just wanted to observe and see how others made elixirs. As long as he had an intuitive understanding, he could learn from the jade slips of the King of Elixirs.
The inheritance of the King of Elixirs was very detailed and rich. However, if he could observe elixir making on the spot and compare it with the inheritance, he would be able to master it easily and get twice the result with half the effort. If he figured it out by himself, it would take more time.
However, the reality was somewhat helpless. The Jindan Sect was not all good people.
Since the application for becoming an apprentice of elixir was not approved, Qin Di didn't bother to ask the head, Tie Zhenren, or Li Zhenren for help. At worst, he could go back and spend more time studying all the jade slips carefully, trying to figure out the composition of the elixir prescription, and then have a good chat with the Elixir Furnace of Lingbao. After a few more experiments, he would definitely be able to make elixirs.
As a researcher in his previous life, although Qin Di didn't make much contribution to the world, he had published dozens of academic papers in both Chinese and English. He knew the method and process of the experiment. He could even complete the experiment of gene protein small molecules. He didn't believe that he couldn't make a pill as big as a longan! What's more, he had the inheritance left by the King of Elixirs as guidance and countless spiritual herbs as support. If he couldn't learn elixir making, he wouldn't be a senior researcher. He would be worse than a pig!
Elixir, weapons, talismans, and arrays were known as the "Four Arts of Cultivation". Among them, elixir making was ranked first, which showed that elixirs were very important and had a great effect on cultivation. They couldn't be taken lightly.
Qin Di hadn't taken elixirs because low-level elixirs contained a lot of impurities. If he ate too much, it would easily cause elixir poison. He didn't trust the elixirs bought from outside, so he wanted to make elixirs himself and strive to purify the most perfect elixirs.
As soon as he returned to the Golden Spear Corner, Qin Di hung a sign outside the bamboo house that said, "In seclusion, do not disturb." Then he secretly ran to the cave residence next to it and went there to practice.
Because there was a middle-level spiritual vein buried in the small cave residence, and there were many spiritual herbs growing in the spiritual plant garden, accumulating a large amount of innate wood Reiki, it was much faster to practice in the cave residence than outside.
Qin Di divided his day into several segments. In his spare time, he would cultivate different spells, especially the Art of Floating Clouds, the Art of Bubbling Earth, and the Thousand Miles Scarlet Ground. He made new progress almost every day. Apart from that, he also spent two hours a day studying the jade slips left behind by the King of Elixirs. Apart from reading, he spent his time thinking. He didn't start concocting pills blindly. Instead, he patiently prepared and tried to save as many spirit herbs as possible to win the battle.
He had obtained three pill furnaces in the Five Mysteries Realm. Other than the two Level Nine pill furnaces that he had given to the sect, there was still a Level One Divine Spiritual Treasure left behind. Moreover, he had the pill furnace left behind by the King of Elixirs. Although the King of Elixirs had a high level of alchemy, he himself was only at the Void Step Stage. He could not compare to the master of the Five Mysteries Realm, who was already a Dao Integration Perfected Lord. Therefore, he only left behind a ninth-rank alchemy furnace. It did not go through the Thunder Tribulation and was upgraded to a Divine Spiritual Treasure. Therefore, it did not have spiritual intelligence.
Fortunately, the King of Elixirs had left him a precious fire seed, which was the Divine Flame of Heavenly Low Rank.
According to legend, "Li" was a Great Deity from the Heaven Realm. The fire seed he left in the human world was called the Divine Flame of Heavenly High Rank. This was a fire seed that could be upgraded. This Spirit Fire of Heavenly Low Rank was cultivated by the King of Elixirs from a yellow-rank fire seed.
Qin Di also started to cultivate the Divine Flame of Heavenly High Rank. Because it had not been replenished with Spirit Qi for a long time, the Divine Flame had become very weak. What he could do now was to provide sufficient Spirit Stones to slowly nourish the Spirit Fire. When the time was right, he would go out and find an ownerless fire vein so that the Divine Flame could continue to upgrade.
Alchemy itself could also upgrade the Spirit Fire and alchemy furnace. However, this was a long process. If he wanted to upgrade the Divine Flame of Heavenly Low Rank to Heaven Middle Rank, it would take at least three thousand years!
Qin Di could not wait that long.
Fortunately, the Spirit Fire of Heavenly Low Rank was already a precious treasure. It was enough for him to use until he reached the Nascent Soul Stage. Just think about it, the King of Elixirs was already at the Void Step Realm and he was still using this Spirit Fire.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. Qin Di still had not completed the cultivation of the seventh level of the Eight Divine Veins, the Child Meridian. Compared to the twelve standard meridians, the Child Meridian was more complicated and had a wider range. Although it did not have its own acupuncture points, it was everywhere. In other words, every place needed to be irrigated with Spirit Qi. That was why the eleventh level of Qi Training was so difficult.
If he wanted to reach the next level, Qin Di still needed to cultivate the Sun Meridian. The Sun Meridian had 365 meridians, and this was just a general statement. In reality, they were like capillaries that spread all over the body. It would take a lot more time to fill all of them. Because of this, in order to complete the twelfth level of Qi Training and reach the pinnacle of Qi Training, ordinary disciples would need twenty to thirty years, or even as long as sixty years of intensive cultivation.
Qin Di had only cultivated for five years, and it was already very good for him to reach this level.
He didn't dare to stay in seclusion for too long, so after half a year, he came out of the cave and went to meet with his two masters. He consulted them about the problems he encountered in his cultivation and asked them about the direction of his next cultivation step.
Then he looked at a few acquaintances and chatted with them for a while.
Everyone was very busy, especially Miao Yunjuan. Because the spiritual field had been upgraded to the eighth level, she had planted a lot of five-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs and dozens of thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. Therefore, she had a sufficient supply of natural Wood Spirit Qi, which greatly increased her cultivation speed. Even so, she was still cultivating the seventh level of the Eight Divine Veins like Qin Di, which was the eleventh level of Qi Training, the Child Meridian.
She knew that Qin Di's progress in cultivation was very monstrous, but she did not want to be left behind by him. Therefore, she was very diligent and hardworking.
Qin Di looked around. Seeing that everything was safe, he returned to the cave residence and continued to cultivate.
After more than half a year of study, he had already put the contents of thousands of jade slips left by the King of Elixirs into his heart. If it was only about theoretical knowledge, he had already surpassed all the alchemists and alchemy grand masters of Jindan Sect. At this time, what he lacked was enough practical experience.
Therefore, he decided to try alchemy.
For the first batch of medicinal pellets, he would start with the most basic Qi Pill.
Qi Pill was a medicinal pellet for disciples in the meditational stage. Other than ginseng, poria, atractylodes, and licorice, there were also two main ingredients, which were called Crimson Sun Flower and Yin Moon Grass.
