Chapter 120: Spiritual Elixir Recipe
After a while, Chen Yu threw a few pieces of roasted tea leaves in.
The tea sets made by earth-based magic are made of jade, which is more effective in delaying the loss of spiritual energy.
The denser tea leaves sink to the bottom immediately and slowly spread out in the boiling water.
The tea soup was light green in color and didn't seem to have any flavor.
However, Chen Yu understood that this was because the tea leaves themselves were very dense, and the spiritual substances were condensed and did not disperse.
He completely opened the half-covered tea lid, and a pure spiritual energy and tea fragrance suddenly rushed to his nose.
After taking a light sniff, Chen Yu brought the new tea to his lips.
I only felt a cool sensation on the tip of my tongue, but the tea was clearly almost boiling.
A cool feeling went straight to the top of my head, but it was not very strong.
As the tea entered my stomach, the cool feeling spread throughout my entire upper body.
After a while, Chen Yu finished tasting tea and opened his eyes regretfully.
With his cultivation level at the foundation-building stage, the effect of the spiritual tea leaves, which were only equivalent to first-grade top-grade spiritual medicine, was minimal. He was just enjoying the momentary clarity of his mind and soul.
Just like the Qingling Fruit, which was only slightly inferior to the first-grade middle-grade spiritual fruit, but with the effect of permanently increasing enlightenment, its value is higher than that of ordinary first-grade upper-grade spiritual fruit.
At that time, Chen Yu was under the Jianmu tree, trying to analyze the spiritual substance in the Qingling Fruit.
But although his consciousness captured the tiny particles of spiritual energy, he was still unable to take it out or even figure out its structure.
Looking at this tea now, it also contains that spiritual substance, and the concentration is much higher.
Chen Yu looked at the roots of the tea tree. Both the spiritual energy content and the grade of the spiritual items were far from comparable to the newly grown buds.
He estimated that if the tree trunk was chopped down to make a formation base, it would be able to support a second-level or even higher-level spiritual formation.
In the world of immortal cultivation, there are many things that violate the laws of nature, but spiritual tea is obviously not one of them.
On the appointed day, the monk came to pick up the magic weapon.
Chen Yu entered the courtyard, knocked on the door, took out the sword and came out to hand it to him.
The magic weapon made of rhinoceros horn is fiery red all over, but it emits a cold glow.
The monk took the long sword and made a beautiful sword flower, praising: "Such a sharp sword, it is obvious that it was made by a master. I am ashamed that I still don't know the master's name."
There are three top-grade first-class weapon refiners in the market. Whenever it comes to refining a mid-grade first-class magical weapon, they are all highly skilled.
Chen Yu knew that the other party was just being polite, so he just smiled and didn't continue the conversation.
Then he said, "My surname is Chen, so I am not worthy of the title of Master. Just call me Master Chen."
The monk took out twenty-five spirit stones from his cloth bag and readily paid the balance.
In Chen Yu's weapon refining workshop, dozens of small magical swords are hung on the walls.
The fire rhino horn had been melted and forged, and at a glance it was impossible to recognize the original material. The dazzling array of things in front of him was extremely beautiful, but he just felt a sense of familiarity in his heart.
Hundreds of cultivators come in and out of the market every day, and countless spiritual objects and inheritances are traded.
Chen Yu wandered among the numerous stalls without slacking off, and his hard work finally paid off.
He bought a recipe for an elixir called Shengling from a scion of a poor family.
Grade 1, medium-grade, it is a pill often taken by those in the middle stage of Qi Refining. Its function is to speed up the movement of spiritual power in the body, thus breaking through the invisible barrier in one fell swoop.
In short, it is a realm-breaking pill.
However, the effectiveness of the medicine varies from person to person. Some people can achieve a breakthrough after taking one pill, while others do not have enough accumulated spiritual energy and fail to break through, and instead lose some of their cultivation.
Alchemy requires a furnace, and Chen Yu made one directly using blue spiritual gold.
The alchemy furnace is one foot high and looks like a tripod with three legs.
The whole body is blue-gray, the inner liner is ellipsoidal and can hold two liters of content.
The water-attributed spiritual gold has a gentle nature, which can just neutralize the fierceness of the fire.
There are a total of fourteen kinds of spiritual medicines needed to refine the Spiritual Pill, and they are all planted in Chen Yu’s space.
Probably because their grades were not high, only six of them were spiritual plants, and the other eight were ordinary medicinal herbs.
Fortunately, Chen Yu also planted as many kinds of plants as possible in the ordinary area, otherwise it would be embarrassing if there were all rare medicinal herbs and no ordinary things.
Although he had spiritual medicine of a higher age, it was his first time refining the elixir, so he still chose the spiritual medicine completely according to what was written on the recipe.
The refining of elixirs is indeed completely different from ordinary medicines and powders.
The weak but condensed true essence fire slowly roasted out the medicinal liquid inside.
Chen Yu threw away the residue of the elixir after tempering, leaving only fourteen medicinal liquids of different colors.
Depending on the properties of the medicine, different amounts of spiritual energy need to be supplemented.
The liquid rich in spiritual energy was poured into the cauldron one by one, and the water vapor was continuously extracted, gradually condensing into a gel.
Chen Yu estimated the amount of the medicinal liquid and used his spiritual energy to make a spell, instantly dividing it into five.
It has to be said that the principles of elixirs, weapons, talismans, and formations are similar, and the formation is the most difficult among them.
Chen Yu only learned the formation, the rest were just acquired later.
Although Jianmu helps, it also depends on the ability to apply what one has learned to other situations.
The water was still dissipating, and mist was gushing out of the furnace. Chen Yu moved his consciousness and rubbed it into a round Shengling Pill.
Unfortunately, the system's recipes are not so easy to learn, unless you enter the sect to obtain them. I can't put myself in danger just to prepare for a rainy day, this is putting the cart before the horse.
His cultivation was at the late stage of foundation building, and he possessed thousands of instantaneous formations, so he could go to the four major sects easily.
But what is more dangerous is to expose yourself to the eyes of many people, and even attract the attention of monks of higher levels.
The world of cultivating immortals is vast and unpredictable. If you cannot suppress the greed in your heart, you will always attract invincible enemies.
After refining the elixir, Chen Yu did not plan to take it himself.
All medicines are poisonous. Why would he take poison if there is nothing wrong?
There are more and more monsters in the space, which are perfect subjects for testing the efficacy of elixirs.
Chen Yu chose a second-level Qi Refining monster and a third-level Qi Refining monster, both of which were eels that had transformed into spirits.
After smelling the medicinal fragrance of the Shengling Pill, desire suddenly appeared on the eel spirit's face.
He let the two monsters take the pill at the same time, and then used his spiritual sense to observe their changes.
The structure of spirits is different from that of cultivators, but the basic idea of their cultivation is to strengthen the spiritual energy in their bodies and nourish their bodies and souls.
The medicinal power of the Shengling Pill evaporated quickly, and the spiritual energy in the monster's body immediately rioted.
Chen Yu silently wrote down the nodes and routes of the drug's action as a reference for the next experiment.
The result was also very clear. The demon beast at the second level of Qi Refining was already close to the third level. The power of the Shengling Pill was a bit too strong, and the breakthrough process was very painful, but it still persisted.
The demon beast at the third level of Qi Refining was still far from the middle stage of Qi Refining. After its spiritual power rose, part of it dissipated, and its cultivation level regressed instead of improving.
This is also consistent with the description in the pill recipe. The Spiritual Ascension Pill is only an auxiliary tool for breaking through the realm and is only suitable for those cultivators who are just one step away from success.
The monster that successfully broke through had its body length increased by three feet out of thin air, but it looked a little weak and needed to replenish a large amount of spiritual energy.
Chen Yu did not treat them harshly, as he had marked the souls of these monsters with his brand.
If this space grows into a real world in the future, these outstanding creatures will be the foundation of this world.
