Chapter 47: The Secret of Yin-Yang Combination and Controlling the Soul

Juxuan Pavilion, private room on the seventh floor.

Shopkeeper Liao knocked on the door and said, "Master, I have something important to report!"

An extremely cold voice was heard in the room.

"Enter!"

Shopkeeper Liao then carefully opened the door and entered the room.

"Report to the Pavilion Master."

"Fellow Daoist Qin just came to the store to buy spiritual materials."

"Prepare to break through to the middle-level alchemy master."

Gu Qingzhao was reading a sutra and drinking tea. Hearing this, he suddenly stood up, frowned, and looked at Shopkeeper Liao and asked, "What?!"

Shopkeeper Liao bowed quickly and recounted the whole story without leaving out anything.

"You did a great job on this matter. I'll give you credit for it."

"When Yunze Immortal City is completed, there will be a place for you in the pavilion."

"Continue to be friends with Fellow Daoist Qin. If he comes to our store again next time, you can report to me directly." Gu Qingzhao's starry eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.

……

Qin Ming left Juxuan Pavilion.

Time for a cup of tea.

He came to Su Yuqing's house with ease.

"Brother Su, this is Lingzhu wine. It tastes very good. I brought a jar for you to try." Qin Ming took out the spiritual wine from the storage bag and handed it to Su Yuqing.

Su Yuqing's face lit up with joy. He took the Lingzhu wine and opened the lid. Instantly, an extremely rich aroma of spiritual wine filled the entire room.

"Good wine! Brother Qin, you have so many good things! I will gladly accept them."

He had two major hobbies in his life, one was alchemy, and the other was magic wine and magic tea.

Su Yuqing couldn't wait to take out two wine glasses and try them.

Seeing this, Qin Ming raised his hand to stop him and said, "Brother Su, I came here to borrow the alchemy room to make pills today. I have already drunk it just now, so I won't drink any more."

"Okay, go ahead. I'll try this Lingzhu wine." Su Yuqing nodded, then picked up the wine glass and was about to go to the yard. He suddenly remembered something and asked casually, "What kind of elixir are you going to refine?"

"Spirit Gathering Pill." Qin Ming answered without thinking.

"Oh~" Su Yuqing responded first, then suddenly realized and said in a high tone: "What did you say?!"

"Spirit Gathering Pill? Are you sure?"

"This pill is one of the most difficult to refine among all the mid-grade elixirs."

Qin Ming replied with great certainty: "Yes, it is this elixir."

There was a reason why he chose the Spirit Gathering Pill. This elixir was currently the best elixir for him to improve his magical powers.

This time, just preparing the ten spiritual materials needed to refine the Spirit Gathering Pill cost him several hundred spirit stones.

"Well, Brother Qin always likes to challenge difficult things." Su Yuqing was no longer surprised, and immediately took the jar of wine to taste the wine.

Next.

Qin Ming entered the alchemy room, put aside all distractions, and began to refine the pill without distraction.

The recipe and refining process of the Soul Gathering Pill were recorded in great detail in Su Yuqing's notebook.

He had rehearsed it countless times in his mind, and it was already engraved in his mind.

After Qin Ming strengthened his soul again.

The two steps of refining the medicinal embryo and preparing the elixir can be said to be extremely smooth.

He opened the fire valve under the furnace.

boom!
The scorching ground fire suddenly burst out.

Qin Ming began to control the flame and heat the furnace evenly.

Wait until the fire is almost done.

He raised his hand and one of the prepared elixirs in the vessel flew into the alchemy furnace.

Next comes the most critical step.

Relying on his powerful soul, Qin Ming carefully controlled the earth fire while fusing the elixirs in the alchemy furnace.

a long time.

puff!

A choking black smoke came out of the furnace.

Apparently the first attempt at refining it failed.

Qin Ming had anticipated such a situation. After all, the difficulty of refining a mid-grade elixir was incomparable to that of a low-grade elixir.

To think you can succeed in one go is nothing but a pipe dream.

Qin Ming had a blank expression on his face as he began to clean the medicinal residue from the furnace, summing up his experience and preparing to continue refining the next furnace. Time passed.

In the alchemy room, the muffled sound of failure continued to be heard.

Failed seven times in a row.

Finally, Qin Ming's expression couldn't hold back any longer.

"What exactly went wrong?"

"I followed all the steps clearly, almost exactly." He was puzzled and was at a stalemate for a while.

If you don't understand the key reason, and continue to practice in this way, no matter how you practice, the end will be the same and it will be difficult to succeed.

Outside the alchemy room.

"How's the refining going?" Su Yuqing saw Qin Ming, who was covered in dust and dirt, with a playful smile on his face, and walked into the alchemy room with his hands behind his back.

He casually picked up a waste pill refined by Qin Ming, squeezed it gently with his hand, and then began to carefully observe the black and gray residue.

He put it to his nose and smelled it again.

a long time.

Su Yuqing frowned slightly, looking thoughtful. He pondered for a while, then asked:
"How long have you been trying to refine this Soul Gathering Pill?"

Qin Ming was a little confused. Every time he came here to make pills, Su Yuqing always ignored him. But today, she actually came in on her own initiative and asked questions.

The whole person was suddenly refreshed, and immediately replied truthfully: "I just started refining it today, and I have refined it seven times in total."

Su Yuqing: “.”

"Can it be refined to this level after seven times?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Su Yuqing rubbed the medicinal residue in his hand, and the black ash on the surface fell off, revealing an almond-sized green semi-finished pill inside.

"You're almost one-third successful."

Qin Ming stared at the waste pill, spread his hands and said, "This could indeed be a case of a blind cat catching a dead mouse."

Then he dug away the remaining medicinal residue and found that only the one in Su Yuqing's hand was a semi-finished product.

See this situation.

Su Yuqing showed a struggling look on his face. After hesitating for a long time, he sighed heavily and said:
"Forget it, Brother Qin, to be honest, you have the highest talent for alchemy among all the spiritual plant masters I have ever met."

Qin Ming: “?!”

He couldn't help but think to himself that if there weren't entries that greatly enhanced his soul, let alone his talent, he would probably still be struggling with the basic detoxification pills.

"There is actually nothing wrong with the steps and process you used to refine the Soul Gathering Pill."

"It's just one thing missing." Su Yuqing said slowly.

Qin Ming was delighted, as it seemed that he would finally get the answer that had been puzzling him for a long time.

He asked puzzledly: "What's missing?"

"I'll only demonstrate it once, please watch carefully." Su Yuqing said and walked towards the table.

The whole person's aura began to change completely.

Then he began to refine the Spirit Gathering Pill.

Under his exquisite technique, the spiritual material was quickly decomposed. His movements were smooth and seamless, and every step was done with ease.

It only took half a cup of tea.

鸠！
The clear sound of the elixir being made could be heard from the alchemy furnace.

Twelve dark blue premium spirit-gathering pills, freshly produced.

Su Yuqing waved his hand and the pill fell into his hands.

Qin Ming was completely stunned just now. His half-baked skills could not compare at all.

"It seems that there is a difference in the alchemy techniques." Qin Ming hesitated for a moment and said what he was thinking.

Qin Ming clearly saw that when Su Yuqing took the final step in fusing the spiritual medicine, the quality of the resulting pill should have been that of an ordinary quality Spirit Gathering Pill.

As a result, he used a unique spell, and the medicinal liquid that was about to be shaped into a pill was separated again, and then merged again until it was adjusted to perfection.

Only then can one achieve the desired result in one step and refine the finest Spirit Gathering Pill.

Su Yuqing smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes, this set of 'Yin Yang Separation and Combination Controlling Spirit True Art' is my unique method of alchemy. It is also a set of insights I have summed up after studying alchemy for so many years. It is still being continuously innovated and improved."

"As for the technique of melting the elixir, I dare say that no one except myself, even a second-level or higher alchemist can comprehend it."

"You've been watching me for so long, but you've only learned the basics, not the real essence."

Qin Ming suddenly realized, "So that's it."

"I can pass on this 'The Secret of Controlling the Spirit by Yin and Yang' to you, but you have to swear not to tell anyone else." Su Yuqing suddenly said to Qin Ming with a very serious expression.

Qin Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard this!
While he was ecstatic, he was also shocked. How could Su Yuqing easily pass on such an important thing to him?
'could it be'
