Chapter 582
Qu Zhigao thanked Zhang Xiaohua and gave Zhang Xiaohua the pill formulas that he didn't understand. There were a few pill formulas among them, but the "Bone Solidifying Pill" was recorded at the very front. Moreover, the herbs used in these pill formulas couldn't be found in the past, even if Zhang Xiaohua was in Rejuvenation Valley. But now, she was teaching the Incense Cult, and in the Pill Expanding Hall. This was a place where the great sects of immortal dao inheritances grew medicinal herbs. Other cultivation methods might have been lost, but there was never a lack of medicinal herbs used for pill refinement.
Perhaps some medicinal herbs' medicinal properties were unknown, and even the pill formulas could be lost. But it was undeniable that many ancient medicinal herbs were collected by different disciples, even if they didn't know the names of these medicinal herbs!
Perhaps only Zhang Xiaohua's "foolish" behavior of exchanging medicinal herbs for medicinal pills could make them cover their mouths and laugh secretly while throwing out nameless and worthless medicinal herbs.
At least, the medicinal herbs that Zhang Xiaohua used to refine the "Bone Solidifying Pill" could be found in the thousands of jade boxes. Yes, she forgot. The three main ingredients used in pill refinement: Iron Bone Grass, Fragrant Soul Wood, and Black Wood Fruit were also found in other jade boxes. They just weren't as old as the three ingredients that Chen Fengxiao, Bai Huan, and the others gave to Zhang Xiaohua.
Glancing at the warm pill furnace, Zhang Xiaohua once again probed her divine sense into the furnace.
On the inner wall of the pill furnace, there were instructions on how to use it and refine it. There were also simple instructions on pill refinement.
These instructions were for the "Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace". Usually, only one furnace mouth was used for pill refinement, but this pill furnace had eight. Of course, it had to be explained clearly.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at it for a long time and gradually understood. The eight furnace mouths of the "Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace" were called "Kun", "Zhen", "Li", "Dui", "Qian", "Xun", "Gen", and "Kan". Moreover, the medicinal herbs also corresponded to these eight attributes. It was actually similar to Zhang Xiaohua's five elements division. According to the instructions of the medicinal herbs in the pill furnace, Zhang Xiaohua also roughly understood that "Qian" and "Dui" should correspond to "Gold"; "Zhen" and "Xun" should correspond to "Wood"; "Kun" and "Gen" should correspond to "Earth"; "Kan" was "Water"; and "Li" was "Fire".
"Looking at the medicinal herbs' five elements division, it was not a whim. Early in the ancient times, there were ancestors who discovered and classified them. It was just that I did not receive the inheritance. This" Eight Trigrams "division, presumably, is also a branch of it." Zhang Xiaohua secretly pondered, slowly entering into the routine homework at night.
In fact, thinking about it, it was normal. In the ancient times, immortals flourished and affected all things in the mortal world. Although Zhang Xiaohua learned the five elements division from Qi Huang, Qi Huang was a branch of alchemy. If there were no traces of predecessors, then it would be strange.
When she woke up the next day, Zhang Xiaohua finished her work in the medicine field and went to a remote place in the medicine field. This was the place where she secretly watered the spring water that contained vitality. Releasing her divine sense, she carefully observed the seeds on the ground. These seeds that Zhang Xiaohua specially watered contained far more vitality than others. However, these seeds still did not have any movement.
While she was looking, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly frowned. She looked back with her divine sense. Ten feet away, behind a big tree, Zou Shuming, who had disappeared for a few days, quietly appeared there again!
"Alas, he's really like a fly, staring at me makes me feel uncomfortable."
Zhang Xiaohua secretly shook her head and then left the medicine field. At this time, another blatant "fly" also stuck out its head and shouted, "Junior Brother Ren, good morning."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and waved her hand, "Senior Brother Bai, good morning too. Today is half an hour earlier than usual."
Bai Huan laughed and said, "I just woke up because I wanted to pee. When the sun comes out later, I still need to take a nap."
"I'm going to faint ~" Zhang Xiaohua almost fell down. She quickly said, "Senior Brother Bai, you can go to the bathroom yourself. I also need to go back to sleep."
After returning to the cave, Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and did not dare to be careless. She set up a restriction at the entrance of the cave and then escaped into the alchemy room. At this time, the alchemy room was already steaming hot. Although the alchemy furnace was not being refined, Zhang Xiaohua did not use any incantation to restrict the energy of the earth fire, so it was stuffy.
On the white jade table, there were more than ten jade boxes. They were the herbs that Zhang Xiaohua had picked out earlier to refine the "Bone Solidifying Pill". Looking at the alchemy furnace that had been warmed, Zhang Xiaohua took out a cattail hassock and threw it in front of the furnace. Then she sat cross-legged and regulated the vital energy in her body.
The "Bone Solidifying Pill" was the same as the "Meridian Nourishing Pill", but it was a low-level pill. Zhang Xiaohua was basically confident. However, this was the first time she used the "Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace", so she had to be careful.
After a while, Zhang Xiaohua let out a light breath. She made an incantation with both hands and hit the earth fire and the alchemy furnace. With a soft sound, the alchemy furnace seemed to have shrunk a little, and the burning earth fire seemed to have become fiercer. However, because of the incantation, the temperature in the alchemy room gradually dropped.
After a long while, Zhang Xiaohua made an incantation with her left hand and pointed her index finger at the mouth of the "Qian" furnace. The sealed mouth of the furnace rotated and silently opened, revealing the array within. At this moment, there was no light red "True Samadhi Fire" within the array. After all, it was only a low-level pill and did not require the refinement of true fire.
When the furnace opened, Zhang Xiaohua did not hesitate. She waved her right hand and a jade box appeared on the table, revealing the forty year old "Iron Bone Grass". Then, under Zhang Xiaohua's control, the "Iron Bone Grass" flew into the furnace. Once the "Iron Bone Grass" was thrown in, a cloud of ash immediately flew up and turned into a ball of boiling medicinal liquid.
Zhang Xiaohua carefully observed with her divine sense. Only when she did not find anything strange, did she relax. She continued to incantation with the incantation and pointed her left index finger again. The mouth of the furnace rotated and closed. The "Metal" attribute "Iron Bone Grass" was slowly refined in the furnace.
After that, with the experience of the first time, Zhang Xiaohua unhurriedly threw the "Water" attribute "Fragrant Soul Wood" and the "Wood" attribute "Black Wood Fruit" into the furnace and the "Vibration Furnace" respectively. Then, according to her own understanding, she threw the other ten ingredients into the different alchemy furnaces.
Of course, Zhang Xiaohua's understanding of the five elements of the herbs was just at the beginning stage. She did not have a complete understanding of the attributes of the herbs and could only roughly divide them. Of course, if she divided them correctly, it would naturally be beneficial to the refinement of the herbs. Even if she divided them incorrectly, there would be no fatal consequences.
It was precisely because of this that Zhang Xiaohua was at ease and dared to try it out.
The "Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace" had this kind of advantage. It could separate the different attributes of the herbs into different formations to refine their essences. If it was used in the previous alchemy furnaces, it would have to be refined separately. Obviously, it could save a large amount of time. When refining low level and basic alchemy pills, there might not be any advantages. Only when refining high level alchemy pills in the future, where the refinement of the herbs required a long time, would the benefits of this "Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace" could be seen!
After waiting for the various herbs to be thrown into the alchemy furnace, Zhang Xiaohua clapped her hands and immersed her divine sense into the alchemy furnace. Using the previous method of controlling the alchemy furnace, she carefully looked at the various medicinal liquids. Only when she felt that everything was normal did she withdraw her divine sense.
Although the "Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace" could refine high level alchemy pills, the time needed to refine the impurities couldn't be reduced. Zhang Xiaohua could only carry out the next step of liquefying and producing the alchemy pills tomorrow.
Sitting cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, Zhang Xiaohua first closed her eyes to comprehend the Heavenly Dao for a while. When it was about noon, she put away the praying mat and practiced the "Imperial Wind Technique" in the alchemy room.
Fortunately, the alchemy room was quite large. Although the alchemy furnace in the center was huge, the other places were enough for Zhang Xiaohua to move around freely.
After practicing for a long time, Zhang Xiaohua gradually gained some insights. The "Imperial Wind Technique" described in the jade slip roughly described how to use the zhenqi in the body to communicate with the vitality between heaven and earth, and then control the cool breeze. However, there was still an old problem. The vitality in the alchemy room was lacking. Just using zhenqi to communicate with the vitality between heaven and earth was impossible, so how could she control the cool breeze?
Zhang Xiaohua stood there thinking for a long time. This problem existed in all of her magic cultivation. Even the newly refined "Dragon Binding Ring" was the same. She had zhenqi in her body, but this zhenqi wasn't endless. Even if she wholeheartedly cultivated and grew a little every day, in comparison to the amount of vitality needed to use magic, it was like a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood. It wasn't of any help at all.
But what could Zhang Xiaohua do?
He could only rely on the Crouching Ox Stone in the money pouch. Only by absorbing the vitality in the stone could she use these immortal magic.
The levitation technique was the foundation of the flying technique. It didn't use a lot of vitality between heaven and earth. Even so, Zhang Xiaohua could only use the levitation technique in the past. He didn't have a high altitude from the ground. Only later on, when his level of qi cultivation was high, could he barely use the levitation technique. Of course, his levitation technique was mostly imitating the qinggong of other martial arts masters. He used the Ethereal Steps technique to reduce the consumption of vitality between heaven and earth.
Finding the root of the problem, Zhang Xiaohua's mouth revealed a self-deprecating smile. "People of the immortal path pay attention to communicating with heaven and earth. I, on the other hand, can't obtain any benefits from heaven and earth. I can only rely on myself to use my zhenqi to use magic. It seems that in this world, only martial arts is the true protagonist!"
Although she had such thoughts in her heart, the absolute power of the spell also moved Zhang Xiaohua. How could she settle for the next best thing?
Luckily, when Zhang Xiaohua was practicing the levitation technique previously, she already had some shallow experience. Now, it could be used as a reference. Following that, after an afternoon of practice, she was finally able to float and ride the wind a little. Just that … the way Zhang Xiaohua was waving her hands and legs, it was as if she wanted to step on something!
Sigh, a habit formed over several years is not something that can be changed in a short period of time. Perhaps only when I truly become a Qi Practitioner in the future will I be able to fly with the wind!
Just as Zhang Xiaohua was flying crookedly in the air, she suddenly had a thought. She made a hand seal and immediately returned to the cave. She heard someone shouting outside, "Junior Brother Ren, Junior Brother Ren …"
