Chapter 102 The Origin of Dan Dao (Two Chapters Combined into One) In the Yunxia Sect, inside the Medicine Refining Pavilion, in the spacious alchemy room, there was a lot of noise. The Alchemy Room is an open-air area in the middle of the Medicine Refining Pavilion. When you look up from here, you can see the blue sky and floating clouds like cotton candy. Nalan Yan and three other returning disciples stood quietly on the platform in the middle, waiting for their master to announce the start. Yunxiao and Yunxiang were sitting right in front. Judging from Yunxiang's appearance, she doesn't seem like the type of person who likes to cause trouble. Most alchemists only care about making pills and nothing else. However, they all return to the Yunxia Sect with a purpose, and sometimes they may be forced to do so. "Junior Sister Yunxiang, is it really necessary to do this?" Yunxiao looked at the disciples around him and the three people, including Nalan Yan, who were waiting quietly on the stage, and transmitted the message. Yunxiao himself is a person who doesn't like to argue, but today, it seems that he has no choice. When Yunxiang heard this, she sighed slightly. "Brother Yunxiao, I also have my difficulties. Besides, you should also understand the purpose of why we were sent back by the sect. So, I can only hope that the sect can defeat us in this conspiracy." Yunxiang responded.
Many of them, although they left Yunxia Sect, were unwilling to return. But it does not mean that everyone wants to return to their former sect and cause trouble. After all, the practice of monks is about "the mind is clear". And Yun Zong's actions undoubtedly made many of them confused. This will do more harm than good to their future cultivation, but they have no choice in this cultivation world where the strong are respected. "Hey! All right, let's get started." Yunxiao stood up and spoke to the monks around him. "Everyone be quiet, I will tell you the rules." As soon as these words were spoken, the noisy alchemy room immediately fell silent. Ye Liuyun stood in an inconspicuous corner holding his pet monkey and watched quietly. She felt that since Nalan Yan had learned the Star-Picking Hand, it should be easy for her to defeat this group of people, so she was not worried. "This competition is an internal competition among the Alchemy Pavilion to see who has better alchemy skills. How to judge the quality of the elixir? First, look at the grade, second, the color, and third, the pattern. If the first three items are similar, then the speed will be considered. Deputy Pavilion Master Yunxiang and I will be the referees of this alchemy competition." "During the competition, no loud noises are allowed. Violators will be severely punished. Okay, the competition can begin now." Yunxiao announced. As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly a bolt of thunder sounded above everyone's heads. The thunder was muffled and sudden, which made everyone look upwards involuntarily. Even Nalan Yan and others were slightly confused. "It's thundering, is it going to rain? That shouldn't be the case. The sky is clear, it doesn't look like it's going to rain." Everyone was confused. Moreover, the sound of muffled thunder continued, which was completely different from the previous situation with dark clouds covering the sky and rumbling thunder. It was thunder in broad daylight, and the sound of thunder seemed to come from outside the sky, which was very abnormal. "Eh? Weird, I didn't make any medicine, why did this sudden bolt of lightning happen?" Ye Liuyun was also puzzled.
But she soon found out what was going on. "Don't be surprised. Although this space has stabilized, the last space distortion has made the space-time barrier of this area extremely fragile. The thunder should have come from another time and space. It seems that it might be another you who is refining medicine." Lin Qingyou explained. Ye Liuyun was embarrassed. She was thinking, is she a disaster star no matter which time and space she is in? How can the disaster next door still affect this world? If she and Ye Liuyun next door were to refine medicine at the same time, or take turns to refine medicine, there would basically be no quiet time in the Yunxia Sect. "This? Something strange has happened again, Yan'er, and you three. This bolt from the blue has affected the alchemy refining. How about we wait another day to compete?" Yunxiao suggested. But Wang Sai was the first to refuse. “No need. As an alchemist, no matter what the occasion or environment, you should be able to calm down and refine medicine. Such a small matter as thunder will not affect the performance of the disciple.” Wang Sai said. As soon as Wang Sai opened his mouth, the other two frowned slightly. Obviously, they might not have such a mentality. But since Wang Sai had spoken, it was difficult for them to retreat. "We both agree to continue the competition." After the two men finished speaking, Nalan Yan also chose to continue the competition. At this time, even if it rained or snowed, they had to continue the competition. Whoever speaks something expressing fear of failure first is tantamount to admitting defeat. "In that case, let's start." Yunxiao sat down again. The moment he sat down, the four of them sat down cross-legged on the spot at the same time and started the furnace. However, they need to consider what kind of elixir to refine in order to win. Among the three of them, Wang Sai's alchemy skills are slightly higher. He can refine blue-grade mid-level elixirs, while Nalan Yan is only a blue-grade lower-level alchemist, and the other two are also blue-grade lower-level alchemists. After pondering for a while, Nalan Yan took out three sets of medicinal materials, one main and two auxiliary. The main medicine was a blue-grade top-grade medicinal material, Kongyoulan grass. Generally, the main medicine determined the grade of the elixir, so Nalan Yan should be refining a blue-grade top-grade elixir. "This woman wants to refine blue-grade top-quality medicinal herbs? Is there anything wrong with her brain? She is just a blue-grade lower-quality alchemist. Is she going to skip two grades directly?" Wang Sai knew what Nalan Yan was going to do as soon as he saw the medicinal herbs Nalan Yan chose. As for himself, he thought it was better to be safe, so he chose to refine the most complicated blue-grade mid-quality elixir. As for the other two, they also had to challenge themselves, so they decided to refine blue-grade mid-quality elixirs. "Oh, directly jumping two grades, it seems that this little girl is very confident?" Lin Qingyou said with a smile. Ye Liuyun held the monkey as if he was playing with a toy. While playing with Sun Wukong, he kept an eye on Nalan Yan and the other three. "Maybe Senior Sister, your alchemy skills have improved during this period?" Ye Liuyun said with a smile. "Haha, it's possible. However, if she wants to win, it is enough for her to refine a mid-level blue product. This is safer." Lin Qingyou replied. After the four decided on the elixir they wanted to refine, they quickly started to work. They released their spiritual energy flames at the same time. Spiritual energy flames all have attributes. Among the eight attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder and ice, wood and water are most suitable for refining medicine, fire and thunder are suitable for refining weapons, gold and earth are most suitable for setting up formations, and wind and ice are suitable for setting up restrictions. Each attribute has different effects on different secondary occupations. Of course, everything is not absolute. It just means that the corresponding attributes are more suitable. The attributes of wood and water are relatively gentle, but refining medicine requires gentle power, and brute force is not enough. Among these people, Nalan Yan has both wood and water attributes, with water being the main attribute and wood being the auxiliary attribute. Wang Sai has both wind and wood attributes, with wood attribute as the main one and wind attribute as the auxiliary one.
It depends on which attribute they major in. However, since he is an alchemist, Wang Sai should major in the wood attribute, so his spiritual fire is emerald green, while Nalan Yan's spiritual fire is aqua blue. In the eyes of alchemists, spiritual fire is called elixir fire. Dan fire is just the most common flame, which relies on the cultivator's own power to control. It is also the easiest flame to control. In addition to Dan fire, there is also demon fire, which is also called beast fire. As the name suggests, it is not the flame produced in humans, but the flame produced in monsters. If the evil fire can be subdued, it will definitely be better than the cultivator's own elixir fire. The last one is the fire of heaven and earth, also called strange fire, heavenly fire. This is the fire born naturally from heaven and earth, not the fire produced in the body of a living being. This kind of flame generally has self-awareness and is very difficult to subdue. They are very powerful in combat, and some of them have even been cultivated into demons. Of course, strange fire is not only needed by alchemists, but also by weapon refiners. Therefore, in the weapon and alchemy world, there is a Heavenly Fire List and a Demonic Fire List, which record various kinds of Heavenly Fire and Demonic Fire. Generally speaking, someone who can subdue the evil fire can at least become a purple-level practitioner. The grade of the flame can greatly improve the quality of the elixir. Each kind of strange fire is unique in the world, while beast fire depends on fate. Beast fire is mostly produced in the bodies of some strange beasts with fire attributes, and beast fire is not necessarily worse than strange fire. For example, the Phoenix True Fire in the body of the mythical beast Phoenix, and the Kirin Divine Fire in the body of the mythical beast Kirin, these are comparable to the top ten flames on the Sky Fire List. But which cultivator would dare to provoke the Phoenix and the Kylin? The strongest of the beast fires is the Golden Crow Divine Fire, which is inherited from the innate divine beast the Three-legged Golden Crow. The second is the Southern Ming Fire, which comes from the divine beast Suzaku, and then the Phoenix True Fire and the Kylin Divine Fire. The top three strange fires on the Sky Fire List are Immortal Fire, Emperor Flame, and Divine Flame. The rarity of these three kinds of flames is almost comparable to the Emperor of Heaven becoming an immortal, the God becoming an emperor, and the God becoming Nirvana. Immortal flames are left behind by immortal cultivators with fire attributes when they go through the immortal tribulation to become immortals. Moreover, not all immortal cultivators with fire attributes can leave behind immortal flames; the probability is only one in ten thousand. That is to say, only when 10,000 immortals with fire attributes ascend to heaven can the immortal fire be born. If a Shinto monk successfully challenges Tianyuan, there is a very small chance that he will leave behind the Emperor Flame. There is also a chance that he will leave behind the Divine Fire after Nirvana and become a god. But these flames are actually of the same type, not all the same. It's just that the chances of these three flames being subdued by alchemists are much smaller than ordinary exotic fires. So far, there has been no record of alchemists subduing the Immortal Fire and the Emperor Flame. However, there is a chance that an alchemist can subdue the divine flame, and this alchemist is currently called the Medicine Immortal in the alchemy world. In fact, this person is Lin Qingyou, the strongest known alchemist throughout history, and the only one in the Shenzhou continent who ascended to the fairyland through the means of elixirs. When Lin Qingyou successfully challenged Tianyuan, he was named Dan Emperor. After becoming an immortal, he was named Medicine God by the immortal world. Therefore, Lin Qingyou is one of the few immortal cultivators who is qualified to be described as the "only one", but in fact, Lin Qingyou is only the second person in the way of medicine, and the founder of the way of medicine, Changsheng Tianzun, is the ancestor of all elixirs in the heavens and the worlds. Almost all alchemists will worship the "Eternal Heavenly Lord" As for this Changsheng Tianzun, no one knows which era he belongs to. The Shenzhou continent is divided into five eras: Kaitian, Taichu, Taigu, Shanggu, and Jingu. Lin Qingyou is a person from the ancient times, and the ancient times were tens of thousands of years ago. The ancient times probably had a history of nearly a million years, and the people of the present and the past only knew about the things of the ancient times at most. It was impossible for them to know everything before the ancient times. But one thing is that humans did not exist in the era of creation. There were only some innate true spirits in that era. Those true spirits awakened one after another in the primordial era, which gave rise to all kinds of creatures. The ancient era was an era of coexistence of all races. All living creatures in the current era were born in the ancient times, including humans. However, humans were very weak in the ancient times. The era when humans truly began to rise was the ancient times. Therefore, this Changsheng Tianzun is not necessarily a human being, and we don’t know whether he is a man or a woman. It’s just that he has had this name since the beginning of human civilization. Human beings cultivate Taoism, and the founder of Taoism is called Taozu by humans. However, there must be more than one Taozu, and Changsheng Tianzun should be considered one of them. Then there is Lingbao Tianzun, the founder of weapon refining. The founder of the Dharma is the "Tianzun of All Dharmas" Therefore, every path must have a creator, even the immortal path. The immortal path is just a word that appeared in ancient times. Before ancient times, there was no concept of the immortal path.
The founder of the immortal path is Yuhua Tianzun, and Yuhua Feixian refers to Yuhua Tianzun. However, it is still questionable whether Yuhua Tianzun is a human being. The history of mankind is much shorter than that of the demon race. The demon race can be traced back to the primordial era. They were born in the primordial era, dominated in the ancient era, and declined in the ancient era. In the ancient times, humans were almost food for the demons, so there were basically no historical records of humans in the ancient times. As for why humans were able to rise and then dominate in the ancient times, it must have something to do with luck. No race can thrive forever, and humans will also decline in the future. The Shenzhou continent is just a small world among all the heavens and worlds. Even the fairyland is only the middle world. There is no way to know about the big world. Maybe all the small worlds and the middle worlds together are the big world. Nalan Yan and the others have already started refining the medicine. When the four of them started to work, Nalan Yan's movements were the fastest and smoothest, while Wang Sai and the others were a little slow because they kept hearing thunder in their ears, which made them easily distracted, so they moved more cautiously. "This woman is not affected by the thunder at all? Damn it." Wang Sai looked at Nalan Yan's smooth movements and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. In fact, this sudden thunderstorm was helpful to Nalan Yan. Their Yunxia Sect had been experiencing constant thunder in the past few years and had developed resistance to it. However, these returning disciples did not have such resistance. Nalan Yan's method of refining medicine is completely different from that of the other three. She directly threw all the herbs into the medicine furnace, while the other three refined them one by one, which is definitely much slower than Nalan Yan's. (This chapter has some content introduction, so I won’t write a separate chapter) Chapter 103 Accidents one after another Nalan Yan's method of refining medicine is smooth and flowing, which is very similar to Ye Liuyun's method of refining medicine, stewing all the medicinal materials in one pot. But when it came to the fusion, it was not as easy as Ye Liuyun. Ye Liuyun also felt a little pressure when he was refining the financial fusion. Refining ordinary pills is as easy as eating. Nalan Yan's techniques kept changing, and she seemed to be under some pressure. After all, this was her first attempt to refine a top-grade blue-level elixir. The reason why she had this confidence was that she had secretly tried to refine a mid-grade blue-level elixir and had no problems at all. This time, they mustered up the courage to try to refine a higher-level elixir. However, compared to Nalan Yan's pressure, the other three were under greater pressure, especially Wang Sai. Because Nalan Yan's speed was too fast, several times faster than theirs. "Impossible? How could she be so fast? What a weird way of refining medicine, stewing all the ingredients in one pot? Making soup? I've never seen this method before." Wang Sai had no intention of refining medicine at all. There was no way. The opponent was almost at the Dan Melting stage, while he was still at the material refining stage. How could they compete? The deputy pavilion master Yun Xiang was also dumbfounded. How long had this alchemy competition started? Less than five minutes. Even if she were asked to refine the blue-grade top-grade elixir, it would take at least half an hour. And Nalan Yan actually took only five minutes to perfectly complete the three stages of melting, refining, and fusion. Yunxiao also kept stroking his chin, looking very happy, and there was no other emotion in his eyes except satisfaction towards his disciple. The disciples around were also concentrating fully, not daring to take their eyes off her for a moment, because if Nalan Yan succeeded, then she would be a top-grade blue-level alchemist. Of course, Yunxiao also secretly glanced at an inconspicuous corner of the alchemy room, because Ye Liuyun was standing there.
Ye Liuyun just gave Nalan Yan some casual pointers, but Nalan Yan's alchemy skills improved so much. This can only mean that Ye Liuyun's alchemy skills are stronger. As for how stronger, Yunxiao couldn't imagine, but it was definitely much stronger than his. Wang Sai and others originally wanted to demonstrate their alchemy skills in public and establish their prestige. But now it's good. Isn't this a great honor for Nalan Yan? Moreover, Wang Sai could see that Nalan Yan had almost no pressure and had already started to fuse the elixir. This made Wang Sai raise his eyebrows. He thought about it, then secretly glanced at his junior sister. As soon as his junior sister saw Wang Sai's eyes, she understood what Wang Sai meant.
