#613 - Qi training pill
In the time that followed, Liang Yue only stabilized his cultivation slightly before taking out the Taoist alchemy techniques and earnestly began to study them.
There was no need to consider excessively profound elixirs or their formulas.
The set of alchemy techniques that the Lingbao Sect had initially given to Liang Yue was indeed profound, but with the changes in history, the Earth's environment and climate, as well as some human factors, many rare medicinal herbs, exotic beasts, and even spiritual medicines that once existed on Earth had become almost extinct.
The more advanced the elixir, the more precious the required medicinal materials often were.
Counting the entire collection of alchemy classics, there were more than one hundred and sixty elixir formulas recorded.
However, according to the intelligence accumulated by the intelligent AI, Xiao Wu, as well as the compilation of modern Chinese medicine and herbs,
only eighteen types remained that could gather all kinds of medicinal stone materials and be used to attempt to refine elixirs.
Most of them were basic and low-level elixirs.
However, the effects of these elixirs were still varied.
For example, the most basic Qi and Blood Pill for strengthening the body, the Enlightenment Pill to help people break through innate bottlenecks, the Spirit Opening Pill to help various creatures awaken their intelligence, the Detoxification Pill for detoxification, the Transformation Pill for healing, and so on.
The Qi Refining Pill that Liang Yue wanted to refine now also happened to be one of these eighteen types of elixirs.
The materials were not difficult to find. In addition to some common herbs such as ginseng, Polygonatum sibiricum, licorice, and Angelica dahurica, as long as they were matched with any three kinds of spiritual medicines with sufficient medicinal properties, few side effects, and no conflict with each other, that would suffice.
The longer the age of the alchemy materials and the stronger the medicinal properties, the better the effect of the refined elixir.
Like the large scorpion that was called Gou Chen in Japan before, it had already reached the level of a demonic beast, and its essence of flesh and blood could naturally be regarded as a kind of spiritual medicine.
In addition, there was the pond energy in Liang Yue's dantian, which was full of vitality.
And the Earth Spiritual Milk obtained from the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber world, which naturally had the wonderful effect of increasing cultivation, consolidating cultivation, and to a certain extent, dispelling inner demons.
It seemed that the elixir refined with these three spiritual medicines as the main ingredients should have quite a good effect!
No sooner said than done!
The materials for this Qi Refining Pill were readily available.
Among the three main medicines, besides the essence of flesh and blood of the large scorpion that he needed to extract, the other two, including a number of auxiliary materials, could be obtained easily in the stronghold world.
The logistics base and herb garden that Liang Yue had painstakingly built before had finally reached the moment to show its due effect!
A moment later, the thirty-meter-long body of the large scorpion became as hunched and emaciated as the Yamata no Orochi before.
All the vitality of its body was sucked clean.
However, the monster's hard shell, pincers, and venom glands were good things. Like the Yamata no Orochi's skin and bones, they were all collected by Liang Yue into his Ama-no-Iwato space.
As for the spirits of these two minor demons, after consulting Nesta specifically, he temporarily sealed them with a layer of space罩zi, plus a stable gravitational structure, and threw them into Ama-no-Iwato as well.
……
Just like that, about a week later, the Qi Refining Pill was refined.
Although the process of forming the Qi Refining Pill was much more complicated than the previous basic Qi and Blood Pill, this was not a problem for Liang Yue.
After all the essence of flesh and blood of the large scorpion was exhausted, a total of one thousand pills were formed.
Compared to the previous Qi and Blood Pill, the quantity was more than halved.
However, this was also very normal. After all, the Qi Refining Pill was not simply comparable to Qi and blood energy. There were also many steps of medicinal power transformation in the middle, which would definitely cause some loss.
During the process, except for the initial waste of one set of materials, the subsequent alchemy process could be described as smooth and rapidly improving.
His control and fusion of firepower and heat inherently came with a skill bonus.
Various micro-manipulation abilities inside the furnace were maxed out!
In fact, the first set of materials that were wasted at the beginning was intentionally done by Liang Yue, deliberately used to test the degree of processing required for various medicinal properties, as well as the boundary between pill formation and waste pills.
However, the difficulty of refining this kind of elixir fused with multiple herbs was indeed much higher.
Even with the convenience of thunder, fire, and wood, Liang Yue could no longer operate the Qi and Blood Pill like flowing water falling to the ground as before.
For the time being, he could only do it one furnace at a time.
However, after all, practice makes perfect. I believe that with the continuous improvement of Liang Yue's own alchemy experience, multi-line operation will be no problem sooner or later!
After the Qi Refining Pill was produced, the first tester was naturally the alchemist himself.
Overall, the effect of this elixir was not bad.
Taking one pill was roughly equivalent to Liang Yue's hard work for a week when he was still absorbing cosmic energy with the Purple Lotus before obtaining the Great Creation Technique.
Note that the unit of measurement here is the Foundation Establishment stage!
If it were to be converted to when he was still in the Innate Realm, it would probably be the amount of nearly three months.
If the energy in it is further pushed down and placed in the Acquired Realm, it would take at least four or five years of hard work…
Think about it, how many years in total did Liang Yue spend in the Acquired Realm since he started cultivating internal strength?
Therefore, according to his speculation, this level of elixir should at least be at the level of a Shaolin Lesser Revitalizing Pill, right?
Moreover, more than a thousand pills were produced at once, in large quantities!
It was not until this time that Liang Yue realized that he was really rich!
In the past, he felt that everything was not enough, but that was only because his own progress was too fast, and the level of resources around him could not keep up.
Now that he wanted to train disciples, he realized that he had unknowingly built up a large family business…
After the experiment, Liang Yue contacted the women through the village platform and exchanged information about the effects of this batch of Qi Refining Pills with them.
After that, Arwen, who had always been indifferent to desires, took the initiative to run to his retreat and directly intercepted fifty pills from this batch of elixirs.
Seeing this, Liang Yue thought for a while, and then kept fifty pills for himself, planning to use them to train disciples.
The rest were all thrown through the space channel to Saeko and Nan Rika, who were eagerly waiting.
……
In the time that followed, Liang Yue continued to retreat, studying various Taoist classics, and constantly trying to integrate the various methods he had mastered into this system.
At the same time, he continued to pay attention to the battles on the front lines.
Compared with the original historical development trajectory, the Japanese under Liang Yue's nose seemed to have become much more reserved.
Although they were also attacking and conquering cities on all sides, they did not dare to cause any large-scale massacres.
Moreover, after occupying some cities in the Northeast, East China, and South China, the Japanese consciously slowed down their offensive pace and instead began to focus their main efforts on plundering local resources.
In terms of troop deployment, they had already switched to defense and consolidation.
Relatively speaking, the two major forces on the Huaxia side had become much stronger in terms of strength compared to their original situation.
Because, whether it was either of these two forces that came to Liang Yue to buy arms and ammunition, he did not refuse anyone.
Occasionally, when the war was tense, he would directly sponsor a large batch of arms or military supplies.
Therefore, in their respective battlefields, the two sides mostly fought back and forth with the Japanese, at least not losing so badly.
Under the experience of blood and fire, there had been considerable progress in both combat capabilities and tactics.
Especially the rabbits, as time went on, the number of troops under their command increased more and more.
With a fairly good level of equipment, they had now captured many territories in the vast northern region.
Especially in the Northeast, after Zhang Xiaoshuai's military force was crushed by the Japanese and driven all the way into Guan Nei, it was unknown when, but the rabbits had quietly taken root there.
At this time, whether in the enemy's rear or front, there was already a tendency to spread everywhere!
