Zhang Chaozong threw down the so-called Thirty-Six Strategies for Cultivation of Immortality, and after digging around for a while, he found a book on alchemy tips. After reading it from beginning to end, Zhang Chaozong realized how reckless his actions just now were. If he made the elixir as he did just now, he would not be able to succeed even if he made ten thousand furnaces. Refining alchemy is very particular. You need to have a deep understanding of the medicinal properties of the medicinal herbs, and then add them into the furnace in order according to their medicinal properties to achieve perfect fusion. It's like stewing pork ribs with potatoes. If the ribs and potatoes are put into the pot together, the stew will result in either the ribs being undercooked or the potatoes being stewed into a mash. The same is true for refining alchemy. Only by clearly distinguishing which medicinal materials are more resistant to refining and which medicinal materials are less resistant to refining and adding them into the alchemy furnace in batches can success be achieved.
In addition to grasping the medicinal properties of medicinal materials, we must also pay attention to the heat. Just like stir-fry, heat is very important. If the fire is too strong, it will be fried easily; if the fire is too weak, it will not be cooked properly. Only when the heat is right can a good pot of food be cooked. The temperature of elixir refining is even more important. Only when the temperature is appropriate can qualified elixirs be produced.
Zhang Chaozong studied Taoist Huo's weapon refining experience and took action again. This time he was more confident than before.
"First put three bamboo grass, and then five pieces of flowers." Zhang Chaozong murmured to himself while applying the medicine.
"The heat, you must pay attention to the heat." Zhang Chaozong kept reminding himself.
"Boom." The furnace exploded again.
Although I have a certain understanding of the common sense of alchemy, the heat is not so easy to master. If you shout happily, you may not be able to grasp the heat well. Although this furnace also failed, Zhang Chaozong seemed to have found some sense. He was not discouraged at all. He redistributed the medicine, lit the furnace again, and started refining with great enthusiasm.
After countless failures, Zhang Chaozong finally refined a qualified Peiyuan Pill. Looking at the round pill in his hand that exuded the fragrance of medicine, Zhang Chaozong was overjoyed. It is said that alchemists are made with money, and this is indeed true. The elixirs that Zhang Chaozong refined alone are probably worth thousands of spiritual stones in total. However, Zhang Chaozong has no regrets at all. Although he spent spiritual stones, he learned the craft and it was quite worth it.
After refining a Yuan Pei Dan, Zhang Chaozong became more energetic in elixir refining. After refining several furnaces, the success rate increased greatly. His techniques became more and more skillful, and his control over the heat became better and better.
"It's time to refine Xueying Dan." Zhang Chaozong took out the Ice Soul Grass and Golden Peak Ganoderma, feeling quite nervous.
Compared with the materials for refining Peiyuan Dan, the materials for refining Xueying Dan were obviously much more expensive, which made Zhang Chaozong a little nervous, but he quickly calmed down and started to light a fire to refine the elixir.
A few days later, Zhang Chaozong successfully refined three Xueying Pills. Looking at the flawless white pills in his hand, he felt a sense of accomplishment. This is the elixir that I refined myself, and it looks better than those refined by others.
In the next more than a month, Zhang Chaozong began to retreat and took Xueying Dan in order to break through the bottleneck.
????????????????????????????????????????????????
Zhang Chaozong packed up his things, set off from the desert island, and fled westward. With the help of Xue Ying Dan, after a month of retreat and hard training, Zhang Chaozong finally broke through to the middle stage of foundation building. After the breakthrough, he planned to go to the wild land.
The barbaric land is on the westernmost side of Pingzhou Continent, where a special race lives, the barbarians. The history of the barbarians is longer than that of the human race. They are born with strong bodies and powerful strength. Because of this, most people in the barbarian tribe only practice martial arts and not spiritual power. Practicing physical strength is much more difficult than cultivating spiritual power. Especially in the later stages, it is difficult to advance. Therefore, the number of powerful barbarians is getting smaller and smaller, and they are gradually declining.
However, the real superpower among the barbarians is still the person who stands at the top of Pingzhou Continent. Even the tyrannical Nascent Soul stage monks from the human race, good and evil, are in awe of the super strong men of the barbarians.
Zhang Chaozong decided not to go to the mainland, but to go along the sea to the extreme west. The advantage of this is that you can meet many monsters along the way. Killing monsters to obtain materials and increase fighting experience at the same time kill two birds with one stone. Of course, Zhang Chaozong had been traveling on the sea not far from the coastline and did not dare to go too deep. Otherwise, if he encountered a powerful monster, he would die without a burial place.
Zhang Chaozong was on his way when he suddenly saw a three-rhinoceros beast jumping out of the water with a "swish" sound.
"Roar¡ª¡ª" The three rhinoceros beasts saw Zhang Chaozong and let out a roar, with a ferocious look in their eyes.
Zhang Chaozong withdrew his light and stopped on the water. These three rhinoceros beasts are considered to be relatively powerful monsters in the near sea, possessing the late-stage foundation building cultivation. It's not much inferior to the blue water toad. Faced with this beast, Zhang Chaozong still did not dare to be careless.
"Roar¡ª¡ª" The three rhino beasts roared again, and a cold light emitted from their horns.
"Whoosh." The three rhinoceros beasts were seen as fast as lightning, and they collided with Zhang Chaozong.come over.
This is not the first time that Zhang Chaozong has encountered a three-rhinoceros beast. Not long after he left the desert island, he also encountered a three-rhinoceros beast. He knew that the three-rhinoceros beast likes to use its tyrannical body and tough animal skin to carry out arrogant acts. collision attack.
Although the three rhinoceros beasts are very fast, Zhang Chaozong is even faster. Since he practiced the glancing shadow movement technique, his speed has been greatly improved compared to before. His figure blurred and he had moved several feet away, avoiding the impact of the three rhinoceros beasts.
"Hmph." Zhang Chaozong waved his hand, and the green fire glazed sword struck out a sword light.
"Chi." The cold light was dazzling, and the flying sword struck hard on the back of the three rhinoceros beasts.
"Chi." There was a soft sound.
The three rhino beasts took several steps back, and there was a scar on their backs. The intense pain made the three rhino beasts suddenly become furious, staring at Zhang Chaozong with red eyes.
Zhang Chaozong showed no fear.
He was quite satisfied with the sword strike just now. After advancing to the middle stage of foundation building, his strength has indeed improved significantly. If in the early stage of foundation building, with the strong defensive power of the three rhinoceros beasts, it would be difficult for him to hurt the opponent with a casual sword.
"Ho ho ho ho." The furious three rhinoceros beasts roared to vent their anger.
There was a sarcastic smile on Zhang Chaozong's lips.
Seeing this, the three rhino beast became even more furious. Its body was shrouded in a cloud of water mist, and thousands of water snakes formed by the condensed water mist suddenly emerged from the surrounding water.
Zhang Chaozong knew that the three rhinoceros beast was preparing to use its magical power, and the water snake was dancing wildly. Although these water snakes are just condensed water mist, they don't seem to have much power. But if anyone really thinks that these water snakes have no power, they are totally wrong.
"Boom." Countless water snakes rushed toward Zhang Chaozong, trying to surround him in the center.
If they are really surrounded, the group of snakes will form a water snake formation. When twisted in the middle, a huge force will burst out. Even though Zhang Chaozong is tyrannical, he is not sure that he can escape unscathed.
Zhang Chaozong was about to use the Glimpse of Light technique again to move away. But at this moment, the three rhinoceros beast suddenly let out a piercing cry.
¡°Zhi¡ª¡ª¡± This scream was completely different from the roar it made before.
Zhang Chaozong was caught off guard and staggered as he was hit by the sound. After only a moment's delay, he was already surrounded by water snakes.
"Eliminate." Zhang Chaozong shouted.
The hand of heaven and earth shrouded in a colorful halo appeared out of thin air and hit several water snakes hard. These water snakes were smashed to pieces in one fell swoop. Because these water snakes suddenly shattered, a hole was torn open in the originally impenetrable formation of water snakes.
"Whoosh." Zhang Chaozong flew out of the gap without saying a word.
As soon as he escaped from the water snake formation, the group of snakes behind him twisted together.
"Boom." The water column shot up into the sky, forming a strong storm on the sea.
The three rhinoceros beasts had sharp eyes. They saw Zhang Chaozong tear open a hole and jump out of the water snake formation. He immediately raised his sharp spear and pushed towards Zhang Chaozong.
Zhang Chaozong also became angry. He didn¡¯t want to get entangled with the three rhino beasts anymore and was ready to resolve the battle quickly. When he touched the green fire glazed sword, he saw a ball of glazed jade light burst out from the green fire glazed sword, and a powerful aura rose up that seemed to come from ancient times. Densely packed inscriptions as big as grains of rice floated up and down on the sword, and countless vitality of heaven and earth visible to the naked eye gathered towards the sword.
"Behead." Zhang Chaozong slashed at the three rhinoceros beasts that were charging towards him.
"Shua." A coquettish azure sword mark illuminated the sky.
This sword mark was extremely sharp, leaving a clear trace in the air. This sword mark, accompanied by unparalleled sharpness, seemed to split the space and break the mountains and rivers.
"Boom." The three rhinoceros beasts let out a scream, and their bodies flew back, leaving blood stains in the air.
Zhang Chaozong also felt a huge force coming and fell back several feet before releasing the huge force.
"The hand of heaven and earth." Seeing that the three rhinoceros beasts were seriously injured, Zhang Chaozong naturally showed no mercy and suddenly took out the big handprint.
The three rhinoceros beasts were seriously injured by the green fire glazed sword. Before they could adjust themselves, the hand of heaven and earth took the picture. It looked frightened and wanted to dodge, but unfortunately it was too late. The phantom of the milky white palm was like a piece of sky, hitting the three rhino beasts' heads heavily.
"Bang." There was a loud noise.
Looking at the three rhino beasts again, they were killed on the spot before they even had time to scream. Everything calmed down, and the bodies of the three rhinoceros beasts floated on the water, rising and falling when blown by the sea breeze.
The three rhinoceros beasts are all treasures, rhinoceros horn is a good material for refining offensive magic weapons. The hide is tough and can be crafted into defensive magic weapons such as armor. Needless to say, beast souls can be used as soul attractors when refining magic weapons. Even animal bones are useful. The animal bones of the Three Rhinoceros have strong medicinal value and are an essential material for many kinds of elixirs. Naturally, Zhang Chaozong would not let go of its body. He went over to clean it up and put the body of the three rhino beasts into his storage bag, and then continued on his way with satisfaction.
