Dealing with medicinal materials, thinking about medicinal properties, configuring prescriptions, and refining elixirs... After this set of procedures, the time will not be short.

When Bai Xiaosheng sealed the alchemy furnace and raised the flames, half a year had passed. This was his first elixir. No, it cannot be said that the elixir was. He threw the bead chain into it. Although he refined it, it mainly used the bead chain.

The bead chain absorbs medicinal power, which is a long process. Generally, it takes time to refine elixirs. This high-quality spiritual elixir cannot be practiced in a short time. Now, it takes only a lot of time to practice medicinal power into the bead chain.

Sitting in front of the alchemy furnace, Bai Xiaosheng paid attention to the color of the flame and was always ready to add charcoal. His eyes seemed to be closed and his whole body seemed confused, as if he was sleepwalking.

Bai Xiaosheng has no boy, so all these things can only be done by himself. Although the previous ones are a little tired, they are limited, but they cannot be careless about watching the fire. There must be people watching each other all the time, which is simple but annoying.

He also thought about asking Lin Fengjiao and Qiu Sheng to help, but neither of them had ever refined pills. Qiu Sheng was young, and they had their own things to do, so they didn't bother them even if they saw the fire.

Looking at the brightly colored flames, Bai Xiaosheng sighed: "If I had known, I would have not been practicing alchemy in the yard."

He had thought about whether to run into the space to refine elixirs, but Lin Fengjiao was too enthusiastic and prepared everything. Moreover, there was no fire in the space. He could only imagine how to refine elixirs inside, otherwise he wouldn't have to be so bored.

Adding a spoonful of charcoal fire, Bai Xiaosheng got up and moved, shook his head, walked to the bookshelf on the side, pulled a book from above, returned to the alchemy furnace to sit, reading the book while watching the fire.

Soon, footsteps sounded. A man pushed the door and walked in, saying, "Fellow Taoist, what's going on?"

Bai Xiaosheng turned around and smiled at him, saying, "We are all ready. As long as there is no problem with the fire, there is nothing else."

Lin Fengjiao said, "I heard that the most difficult thing in refining alchemy is the step of becoming an alchemy. It is better to be careful with fellow Taoists."

Bai Xiaosheng was stunned and smiled and said, "My fellow Taoist reminds me that after these days, I am a little careless." He did not say that the medicine he refined does not need to be made into pills. His main purpose is to refine the medicinal power in the medicinal materials and let it rotate in the closed alchemy furnace for the bead chain to absorb. He does not need to be made into pills at all, so how can there be difficulties?

"By the way, didn't fellow Taoist go out to help Mr. Wu from the county town to see Feng Shui? Why are you back?" Bai Xiaosheng asked casually.

Lin Fengjiao said, "This little thing can be decided by just a glance." He sighed and said, "Most of the people nowadays don't believe in us old things."

"Oh? What happened?" Bai Xiaosheng thought. After all, the entry of Western learning caused high schools to face great challenges, and most of them were meditated and feudal superstitious.

Lin Fengjiao said, "There is a boy from Mr. Wu's family who is only back today. What kind of Western learning is learned? The old man knew that he was in a bad health. When his son came back, he wanted to confirm his cemetery. The boy said, "Just find a place casually, but the old man was not happy. So he invited me to Kanyu to find a good tomb. The boy from Wu family ridiculed me a lot..."

Bai Xiaosheng patted him and comforted him, "You don't have to be sad. In the eyes of secular people, we all have always been feudal superstitious liars. We have to blame those who are ignorant of learning, otherwise the good things left by our ancestors will not be ruined like this. For us, cultivation and inheritance are the most important, and the others are a little weaker. The fellow Taoist already has a disciple who teaches them well and lives up to what we have learned, so we have a clear conscience."

Lin Fengjiao nodded, a smile appeared on her face, and said, "I've made fellow Taoists laugh. I've seen a lot of these things. When things are about to come, I can't think about it, but I'm still not very good at it."

"Haha... who is not like this? Even if I encounter this, I will feel uncomfortable."

The two of them were talking about the idle chapter. Bai Xiaosheng thought of a question and asked: "Fellow Taoist, is there a customization of the time when the soul leaves the body throughout the ages?"

Lin Fengjiao shook her head and said, "It depends on a person's foundation. People with a strong foundation will have a longer time, while those with a insufficient foundation will have a faster time. In our Maoshan records, the earliest ones to leave the body was three years. What is enough for three years? It has been three years for fellow Taoist to prepare these things. Do you think about the consequences of that person."

"Oh?" Bai Xiaosheng was happy and said, "What about the longest time to leave the body?"

Lin Fengjiao said: "Eighteen years!"

"Eighteen years!" Bai Xiaosheng muttered and pondered to himself.

Lin Fengjiao followed and said, "That's right, it's eighteen years! When we cultivators condense our souls, we will leave our body once. It is a sign of the unity of man and nature. I believe that fellow Taoists have already experienced it. This is the first time we leave our body, the things you see will sink into the depths of the soul and be gradually digested and absorbed by the souls. Those with deep foundations will naturally get more, and the digestion time will be longer, and vice versa will be shorter. The second time we leave our body is different from the first time. The first time is the condensation of the souls, and the power bursts, and it will not have any impact on itself, but the second time requires the support of the true power. If you condense the golden elixir early, you will naturally not be afraid. If you have not condensed the golden elixir, you can only take the path of external elixir. According to my Maoshan records, fellow Taoists gain this time is enough to support the out-of-body spirit."

Bai Xiaosheng had discussed these things before with Simu, Master Ikkyu and others, and heard them talk about them.

The soul condenses and penetrates the power of heaven and earth. Therefore, the first time the energy of heaven and earth is based on the energy of heaven and earth, and it does not require consumption of one's own energy, and it will also be helpful to oneself. The second time when you leave the body, the soul will fly out of the body and travel between heaven and earth. This naturally requires energy support. After this time, there is a third and fourth time, the more you go to the back, the difficulty of leaving the body will be lower. As you leave the body again and again, you will also increase your control over your own soul until you are able to handle it and minimize the energy consumed by the soul.

At that time, the soul will not leave the body at will, but will leave the body if you want it to leave it, and will not move if you don’t want it.

This is the first step in the cultivation of the Yuanshen realm. This step is not too dangerous for authentic Buddhist monks. It is said to be dangerous, but it is like a left-minded monk like Bai Xiaosheng.

Moreover, since this step, the two practices will be significantly different.

After the authentic Buddhist monks have completed the first step of leaving the body, the soul will be completely solidified and condensed with the golden elixir. The remaining effort is to polish the golden elixir and replenish the soul until the golden elixir turns into a baby.

In fact, the golden elixir is the most powerful state in a person's body. In modern terms, gaseous, liquid, solid, solid, isn't it?

The same is true for simplicity, and the Nascent Soul that was transformed later is not dominated by true power, but by the Yuanshen. To put it bluntly, this is a baby born from your body, which is a god, not a power.

Bai Xiaosheng's Dharma Protector practice is opposite to it. After he controls the soul, he needs to completely imprison the soul in the **, and runs in between the two, so that the soul can absorb the power of the soul bit by bit. In a perfect state, the two are completely united and no longer distinguished. This is definitely a long time of water grinding skills. At the beginning, the combat power of a monk like him will be relatively high. However, the progress speed is slow. On the contrary, the authentic soul Taoist priests will make rapid progress, especially those with outstanding talents. With just one enlightenment, it will be a realm.

Simply put, the path of protecting the Dharma is taken by a fool. As long as you are diligent enough, you will do it. The path of the soul is taken by a genius. It seems that there is no difference between the two, but if you say this, it is not an idiot. Who would choose the former? Therefore, from ancient times to the present, when choosing the Dharma protector of Buddhism and Taoism, you will also choose those with outstanding health.

After 7749, Bai Xiaosheng opened the furnace. Only medicine residue was left in the elixir furnace, covering the beads and pills inside, but there was not even a single pill. This made Lin Fengjiao, who was standing beside him, and at the same time comforted Bai Xiaosheng: "Fellow Taoist, alchemy is not an easy thing. If you fail this time, you will be able to succeed next time."

Bai Xiaosheng laughed secretly when he said this. Did he fail? That's what you thought, I didn't fail.

After Lin Fengjiao left, Bai Xiaosheng took out the beads from the medicine residue. The beads looked very different from before. The beads that were originally made of wooden beads had a crystal clear and round feeling.

Their nature has changed.

Soon, Bai Xiaosheng put the prepared second furnace of elixir into the alchemy cauldron, caught fire again, and refined the second furnace of elixir.

His slightly frigid movement made Lin Fengjiao frown secretly, but when he saw Bai Xiaosheng gritting his teeth, he did not persuade him, but just shook his head and sighed. In his opinion, the matter of alchemy cannot be messed up, just like cultivation. If you mess up, you will not gain anything, and you may even bring yourself in and out. What Bai Xiaosheng put in is not himself, but medicinal materials. This is also a waste enough.

Sure enough, just as Lin Fengjiao thought, Bai Xiaosheng's second furnace of elixir was also useless. At this time, he solemnly persuaded Bai Xiaosheng and said, "Fellow Taoist, you are too anxious. I think you should take a break, turn around, summarize the gains and losses, and then consider the matter of elixir."

Bai Xiaosheng had already laughed out loud, but seeing Lin Fengjiao's appearance, he knew that it was for his own good, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, I know."

Lin Fengjiao nodded. When he saw that Bai Xiaosheng was not stuck inside, he came out to bask in the sun, and smiled with relief.

Little did he know that Bai Xiaosheng was basking in the sun and watching the beads, and was amazed.

After two refining medicines, the beads absorbed a lot of medicinal power and changed. The first time it was not obvious, but it had that feeling. But after this time, the material of the beads changed completely. Not only did they not feel like wood, but they did not look like it, which made me feel a little bit ice-cold.

As he thought, if this thing was loved once or twice, it would be polished into jade.

‘It’s really strange, I just don’t know how to explain the changes? Judging from modern technology, it seems difficult to explain.’ He smacked his lips, Bai Xiaosheng chased the beads comfortably with his right hand, and he was lying on the recliner, shaking and shaking.

After resting for half a month, Bai Xiaosheng turned on the third furnace of elixirs. This time, he succeeded and refined seven elixirs with a strong aroma.

Looking at these seven golden elixirs, Bai Xiaosheng was very satisfied. This was his experiment, his summary of alchemy. This furnace of elixir was called the spirit-preserving pill, which he summarized based on the medicinal properties and the prescriptions he knew. Unexpectedly, it was successful.

"It seems that I have a talent for alchemy..." Bai Xiaosheng was very proud of holding the pill. He took out two pills and handed them to Lin Fengjiao, and said, "Fellow Taoist, thanks to your help, I was so smooth. These two pills are my thanks."

Lin Fengjiao also looked at the two golden elixirs with joy. He had never seen such a lustrous golden elixir. In Maoshan today, no one seemed to be able to refine such a good quality golden elixir.

In fact, Maoshan is not good at refining alchemy at all!

With this furnace of elixir, Lin Fengjiao felt relieved and her observation of Bai Xiaosheng also relaxed. Bai Xiaosheng took this opportunity to prescribe another furnace of elixir. In his words, he was just to continue his efforts. Unfortunately, his failure in this furnace of elixir made Lin Fengjiao sigh at the difficulty of refining elixir again.

Bai Xiaosheng just smiled, but if you pay attention to his wrist when he was not practicing alchemy, you will find that the material of the beads he brought with him changed again. The foggy beads became crystal clear, but they were not transparent enough. I believe that as long as you do it again, the beads will become glass beads.

Bai Xiaosheng prepared a lot of medicinal materials. He used these medicinal materials to open the furnace seven times, succeeded twice, and failed five times. The success rate seemed very low, but don’t forget that he did not refine ordinary elixirs. Although Lin Fengjiao was a pity over there, she also sighed secretly, saying that Bai Xiaosheng is a genius in alchemy. If he focuses on this aspect, he will definitely achieve success.

But he didn't say this before, he just thought about it behind his back.

After using the pills, two years passed, Bai Xiaosheng also said goodbye again, saying that he was going out to find the pills. He also brought the pill furnace, saying that he could find medicinal materials and refine the pills, just in case.

Lin Fengjiao also quite recognized his decision, because it has been almost five years since he went there. Who knows when Bai Xiaosheng's soul will come out of body? Prepare more and guarantee more!

Bai Xiaosheng left for about seven years, and there were thirteen years in total. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
