Chapter 100: The Way of Pills, Unchanging

After Li Xuan finished explaining the basic theory of alchemy, he looked at Su Lingxiu and asked, "Did you remember it?"

If she can't remember, then this girl's talent is a little poor.

Both Xu Yan and Meng Chong remembered it after just one try.

"Master, I have memorized everything. I also thought of a recipe for a pill. Do you think it will work?"

Su Lingxiu said excitedly.

Li Xuan was stunned. He came up with a pill recipe so quickly?

He has great talent! I didn't make a mistake in choosing the right person or taking in the wrong apprentice.

His expression was calm and he nodded, "Oh, is it He Danfang?"

"Master, you said that in order to cultivate, one must first sense the Qi and blood, refine the skin, bones, and internal organs. So I thought of combining wild ginseng, nine-leaf Yuanzhi, and tiger blood... and refining them into a pill. It must be very tonic, and can be quickly digested for cultivation."

Su Lingxiu told everyone the recipe for the elixir she had been thinking of.

"The fact that you can think of the recipe in this way shows that you are familiar with all kinds of medicinal materials..."

Li Xuan said calmly.

Su Lingxiu was delighted. Did her master approve of her recipe?

Li Xuan continued, "You are gifted, otherwise I would not have accepted you as my disciple. But how did you come up with the recipe for the elixir?" "Do you know the principle of using medicine, the main ingredient, the secondary ingredient, the auxiliary ingredient, and the adjuvant?"

Su Lingxiu pinched the corner of her clothes and said, "I don't know. Please enlighten me, Master."

"The ruler is responsible for the disease, the minister is the assistant to the ruler, and the envoy is the minister... If the ruler is one and the ministers are two, the system is small; if the ruler is two and the ministers are three and the assistants are five, the system is medium..."

Li Xuan explained the principle of using medicine as the monarch, minister, and assistant, and then said: "You need to understand from this which medicine should be the monarch and which medicine should be the minister... The way of elixir is ever-changing.

"You must remember that illness has no fixed form, medicine has no fixed prescription, and drug has no fixed quality. Success or failure depends on the time. Divine skill depends on the person. The ruler, minister, assistant, and messenger depend on their use..."

Su Lingxiu was greatly shocked when she heard this. At that moment, it was as if a skylight had opened and she saw a new world.

She had a vague understanding.

Various precious medicines and magical medicines flashed through his mind. What characteristics each medicine had and what it focused on...all emerged in his mind one by one.

"The ruler, the ministers, the assistants and the messengers? The way of elixir is ever-changing..."

Su Lingxiu vaguely felt that she seemed to have understood something. As long as she spent some time and sorted it out, she would be able to prescribe a qualified pill recipe.

Li Xuan looked at her. This girl had a good understanding. The theory of elixir and the principles of using medicine according to the main, secondary, auxiliary and adjuvant ingredients seemed to have given her great inspiration.

Maybe I have some understanding.

So he stopped explaining and waited for Su Lingxiu to digest it.

"Master, I understand a little bit. I will study it seriously."

Su Lingxiu said respectfully.

"Well, next, I will teach you how to refine the elixir."

Li Xuan nodded and continued, "To refine the elixir, use the blood as the furnace, the blood as the fire, and the heart as the sensor. You can see the changes of the elixir and know the success or failure of the elixir... Use the true qi as the fire to refine and remove impurities and extract the essence..."

How to make elixir?

Li Xuan directly compiled the methods of refining elixirs with qi and blood, as well as refining elixirs with true qi. In short, when one is in the qi and blood realm, one uses qi and blood as the elixir fire to refine the elixir. When one is in the innate realm, one uses true qi as the elixir fire to refine the elixir... and so on.

As for the alchemy furnace, Li Xuan didn't know whether it could be refined, so he didn't emphasize it.

“You haven’t entered the Qi and Blood Realm yet, so you naturally can’t use Qi and blood as the fire to refine pills. You can try using a pill furnace. Of course, if you have a good pill furnace to assist, refining pills will naturally be easier.

“It all depends on you, how you comprehend the way of alchemy.

"If you want to use an alchemy furnace to assist in alchemy, you need to find a way to make an alchemy furnace yourself. Alchemy furnaces are particular. Ordinary steel furnaces are not conducive to alchemy."

Li Xuan reminded Su Lingxiu that in addition to refining the elixir with bare hands, she could also use an elixir furnace to assist.

As for how to get the alchemy furnace, that all depends on Su Lingxiu's own ability.

After all, he didn't have an alchemy furnace and didn't know how to make elixirs.

It's all made up.

"Yes, Master!"

Su Lingxiu nodded, indicating that she understood.

Next, it is about the core of Danyi martial arts and how to practice it.

“Although Danyi martial arts also involves refining the skin, bones, and internal organs, Danyi martial arts practice is to get close to the vitality of all things, use the spiritual energy of all things to nourish oneself and stimulate qi and blood.

“The qi and blood of the alchemist and the warrior are full of vitality, which is the way of medicine, curing diseases and saving lives; however, it can also be as blazing as fire, which is the way of alchemy, extracting the essence and smelting the use of elixir.

"Medicine is wood, and elixir is fire. Wood can produce fire, and fire can refine gold. Gold can produce water, and water can produce wood..."

Li Xuan then passed on the cultivation method of the alchemy warrior to Su Lingxiu, and at the same time, he also taught her the Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and the acupoints of the human body.

The qi, blood and true energy cultivated in alchemy and martial arts naturally have their own characteristics.

Otherwise, there would not be much difference from orthodox martial arts.

Finally, he explained some mysterious acupuncture techniques such as gold needles to cross the acupoints, gold needles to force out poison, gold needles to bring the soul back to life, etc.

He explained all the compiled theories of alchemy, medicine and martial arts in one go. As for Su Lingxiu, he wondered if she could comprehend anything from such a huge, complicated and even inconsistent theory.

Li Xuan couldn't guarantee it either, it all depended on Su Lingxiu's own talent.

He succeeded and opened up a new martial arts system.

There is one more precious disciple.

This girl is pretty, playful, lively, kind-hearted, and likes to bury bad people. If she can successfully comprehend it, Li Xuan feels that all the troubles behind her will not be a big deal.

If you haven’t figured it out.

This means that master and disciple are no longer destined to be together.

"Remember, what I teach you is the Tao, not ordinary skills. You need to comprehend the Tao, to understand its true meaning..."

Li Xuan emphasized once again that what he was teaching was the Tao, which needed to be comprehended, not taken for granted. If one did not practice according to the principles of martial arts clearly and perfectly, one would not be able to practice.

"Master, I understand!"

Su Lingxiu nodded her head.

She was deeply shocked that there was such a powerful and mysterious martial art in the world.

If I could comprehend it myself, how powerful would I be? The magical and mysterious elixir, if I could refine it, would I still be afraid of practicing slowly?

Taking one pill can save you from eight or ten days of hard training, or even a month or a year of hard training.

"I need to figure out the recipe first!"

Su Lingxiu thought excitedly.

"Um."

Li Xuan nodded. He believed in Su Lingxiu's talent. If he taught her these theories, it would not be difficult for her to figure out the recipes and pills.

However, Danyi Wudao is not simply about elixir prescriptions, medication, and medical skills, but the practice of martial arts.

For Su Lingxiu, the most difficult thing is to understand the method of practicing Danyi martial arts and how to cultivate the unique Qi and blood of Danyi martial arts.

Getting started is the most difficult part.

As long as you get started smoothly and successfully comprehend the method of cultivation, it will be relatively easy to comprehend the innate realm and even higher realms in the future because you have the foundation.

After all, there is already a foundation and a theoretical basis.

Li Xuan thought of his beloved disciple Xu Yan, who practiced orthodox martial arts, pure martial arts. Precisely because of the purity of martial arts, his understanding and comprehension of martial arts were extremely profound.

Moreover, Xu Yan is a pioneer of martial arts. The foundation and basis of this great cause of martial arts all lie in Xu Yan.

"Although the cultivation method of Danyi martial arts is different from the orthodox martial arts, it is still closer to the orthodox martial arts. So can Xu Yan help Su Lingxiu comprehend the skills?"

Li Xuan thought to himself.

In terms of comprehension and imagination, I'm afraid no one can compare to Xu Yan.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan said again: "The method of martial arts practice, how to refine the skin, bones, and internal organs, how to cultivate the qi and blood of Danyi, when your senior brother comes back, you can ask your senior brother for advice."

Su Lingxiu's eyes lit up and she asked, "What is the strength of the eldest brother?"

Li Xuan said calmly: "Innate Realm, ordinary inner domain masters can be killed at will!"

Su Lingxiu was extremely excited. Her master was mysterious and powerful, and her eldest senior brother was also so powerful, as was her second senior brother. As long as she could successfully comprehend the skills, she would be able to enter the martial arts world smoothly.

With such a powerful backer, do you still need to worry about burying someone?

unnecessary!

"Master, Master, when will the eldest brother come back?"

Su Lingxiu asked impatiently.

She wanted to comprehend the technique as quickly as possible and start practicing it smoothly. She felt that the technique taught by her master was too mysterious and she couldn't find the direction to comprehend it for a while.

As for elixirs, she has already gained some insights.

Just need to sort it out and then you can prescribe some pill recipes.

Then he found an alchemy furnace and tried to figure out how to make the elixir. However, to truly make the elixir, one must learn martial arts and cultivate qi and blood.

Therefore, if she could not comprehend the method of practicing martial arts, even if she understood the elixir and prescribed the elixir recipe, she would be just an ordinary female elixir doctor.

He can't even be called a medical practitioner! "Your senior brother will be back in the next few days, so you should study and comprehend it on your own."

After Li Xuan finished speaking, he walked away.

Su Lingxiu followed behind excitedly, holding a shovel, and said, "Master, I have already got some ideas for the recipes. After I go back and sort them out, I should be able to prescribe some recipes.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"How can I make the elixir without an alchemy furnace?"

Li Xuan put his hands behind his back, walked leisurely, and said: "Master leads you to the door, but the practice is up to you."

"Okay, I'll figure it out myself."

Su Lingxiu was a little dejected.

When passing by Meng Chong's training place, Su Lingxiu asked curiously: "Master, what is Second Senior Brother doing?"

"Practice, cultivate the sword, and comprehend the skills."

Li Xuan replied calmly.

"Knife raising?"

Su Lingxiu blinked.

"Use your heart to cultivate the sword, use your mind to cultivate the sword... You don't understand. This is not your talent."

Li Xuan glanced at the girl.

His eyes fell on the shovel in her hand. Why did a nice girl like to play with a shovel? "What are you doing with the shovel?"

"Bury someone!"

"…How many people have you buried?"

"If not a hundred, there must be dozens."

Su Lingxiu thought for a moment and said.

Then he said, "Master, I also had a small medicinal hoe, which I used to dig medicinal herbs. Unfortunately, it was lost. I only have this shovel left."

After returning to the small courtyard.

Li Xuan sat down on the chair, and Su Lingxiu went straight into her boudoir.

"Auntie Zhou, go buy me some paper and pens, lots of them!"

"Yes, miss."

Aunt Zhou nodded, came out of Su Lingxiu's boudoir, found Shi Er, and asked him to buy paper and pen.

Shi Er didn't want to agree. He was the master's servant, why should he listen to you? However, when he thought that Su Lingxiu was now the master's apprentice and it was she who needed paper and pen, he had no choice but to agree.

"Miss, what's going on?"

Zhou Ying returned to the room and asked impatiently.

"Aunt Zhou, Master is so amazing. His alchemy, medicine and martial arts are so powerful and magical. I want to make an elixir!"

Su Lingxiu said excitedly.

Zhou Ying looked confused. Alchemy? What is this? "Auntie Zhou, go find me an alchemy furnace. I want to imagine what an alchemy furnace should look like..."

Su Lingxiu pondered.

"Master said that the alchemy furnace cannot be an ordinary steel furnace, so it must be made of materials for forging treasures..."

In the inner realm, almost all those who can use real treasures are masters.

There are not many first-grade warriors who can own precious weapons.

"But where did the treasure come from in the wilderness?"

Su Lingxiu was a little distressed.

"Miss, what alchemy furnace? I'll go to the Wu or Qi palace and find it for you."

Zhou Ying pondered.

Shi Er bought paper and pen, and after handing them to Zhou Ying, he continued to think about how to break through the bottleneck and enter the Qi and Blood realm.

Su Lingxiu picked up a pen and started drawing on the paper. She drew the vague outline of the furnace on the paper according to some inspiration in her mind.

The furnace is not big, it has air holes to discharge impurities, and a lid that can be closed...

"Aunt Zhou, the alchemy furnace looks like this, but it requires precious materials..."

After handing the furnace drawings to Zhou Ying, she said in distress.

Zhou Ying took the blueprint. Although she didn't know what this furnace was, she knew it was very important to the young lady! She said solemnly: "Young lady, don't worry. Although it is impossible to practice in the borderland, there are still some materials. You should be able to find them."

"I hope so."

Su Lingxiu nodded and said, "Aunt Zhou, please try your best to look for it. Ask Tianmu to tell Kou Ruozhi to find it for me."

"I understand, but Miss, if I leave..."

Zhou Ying hesitated.

"Aunt Zhou, it's okay. Master is so strong, and we still have the eldest and second brothers..."

Su Lingxiu was not worried.

"Then I'll go right away."

"Um!"

Su Lingxiu nodded.

After Aunt Zhou left, Su Lingxiu began to concentrate on writing down her thoughts on the elixir.

At the same time, write down various precious medicines and magical medicines, and mark the characteristics and effects of each medicine.

It took most of the day to finish this sorting.

Usually it was Aunt Zhou who took care of her and would call her to eat when it was time. After Zhou Ying left, Su Lingxiu did all the tidying up until she felt hungry, then she came to her senses.

I looked out the window and it was already evening.

When I walked out of the room, I found the master sitting on a chair, reading an ancient book, looking leisurely and comfortable, like a reclusive master.

"Master, I'm hungry!"

Su Lingxiu grabbed Li Xuan's arm and blinked.

Li Xuan put down the ancient leather book and said, "Shi Er, from today on, you will be responsible for cooking for Lingxiu."

"Yes, my Lord!"

Shi Er said respectfully.

“Thank you, Master!”

Su Lingxiu was very excited.

After finishing her meal, Su Lingxiu continued to sort out various precious medicines in her room, making basic preparations for creating a pill recipe.

Li Xuan appeared silently outside the window, looked over, and nodded involuntarily. Su Lingxiu had an extraordinary talent in the art of making medicine.

She has already understood something and is sorting out her thoughts. She believes that a recipe for the elixir will be out soon.

"I hope I can successfully comprehend the method of cultivation."

Li Xuan thought silently.
