After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 885 Cultivating the Five Samadhi True Fire, it's those vultures again!
Oh?
Chen Yang's eyes flickered slightly as he looked towards Master Huang.

Did this weasel also serve as a fire starter for important figures in alchemy?

Do weasels have some innate fire-starting instinct?
Chen Yang said, "I've only ever heard of Samadhi True Fire. What is this Five Samadhi True Fire? What is its origin?"

Master Huang said, “Whether human or animal, all have five internal organs: heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, corresponding to the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Everyone knows that the liver belongs to fire among the five organs, but they don’t know that the five elements generate each other and are not truly fixed in a certain internal organ. The liver has liver fire, the lungs have lung fire, the heart has heart fire, the spleen has spleen fire, and the kidneys also have kidney fire…”

"These Five Elements, Five Organs, and Five True Flames are the five essences: heart fire, liver fire, spleen fire, lung fire, and kidney fire. They are the fire of metal, the fire of wood, the fire of water, the fire of fire, and the fire of earth. They can be said to encompass all things and are incomparable to ordinary fire. Using them to refine elixirs will make the results twice as good with half the effort..."

Master Huang shook his head and talked eloquently.

Chen Yang listened with a vague understanding. He did know that the five internal organs of the human body are prone to internal heat, and he was somewhat familiar with terms like heart fire, liver fire, and lung fire. However, terms like "fire of water" and "fire of fire" sounded rather vague.

However, he is a person with a strong thirst for knowledge. The more unclear something is, the more he wants to figure it out, and the stronger his interest becomes.

Especially since it concerns his alchemy career.

Before Chen Yang could even speak, Old Huang said, "Cousin, you have such a good thing, hurry up and take it out, teach me how to use it..."

It's clear that these two cousins ​​have a really good relationship.

Otherwise, Lao Huang wouldn't have asked for it directly; it would have been too abrupt for an ordinary relationship.

Chen Yang was also staring intently at it.

"This one……"

Upon hearing this, Master Huang paused for a moment, stroking his beard with his hand.

Chen Yang asked, "Did the senior who taught you the technique forbid you from passing it on to others?"

"Not this one!"

Master Huang shook his head. "However, this technique is incomplete. I only have one aspect, the 'Liver Fire Chapter.' Moreover, this technique requires some talent to cultivate and is also quite dangerous. After all, it involves the fire of the five internal organs. If you're not careful, you might disrupt the five elements of energy within your body and easily injure yourself..."

Only one article?
Chen Yang raised an eyebrow. "Will it work?"

"Of course it can. It's much better for refining pills than ordinary fire!" Master Huang nodded.

"That's good!"

Chen Yang said, "I won't take your things for nothing. Give me the cultivation technique, and I'll exchange it for something!"

"Oh?"

Master Huang's eyes brightened slightly. It had already learned from Old Huang how extraordinary Chen Yang was. Originally, even if Chen Yang hadn't said anything, it would have been happy to hand over the cultivation technique as a favor. But since Chen Yang wanted to exchange it for something, it became curious about what Chen Yang could offer it.

Chen Yang clearly didn't want to owe anyone a favor, so he directly took out a bottle of [Super Animal Growth Essence].

This thing contains a tremendous amount of energy, suitable for consumption by those in the Dao True Realm, and its effects are even more exaggerated when consumed by those in the Creation Realm.

"This bottle of elixir will be more than enough to help you break through to the mid-stage of the Creation Realm. As long as your mental state is right, you might even have a chance to break through directly to the late-stage of the Creation Realm!"

Although this item wasn't particularly valuable to Chen Yang, it was definitely a big deal for these spirit beasts.

Master Huang was very surprised when he heard this.

It looked at Old Huang, who nodded and told it how good this thing was.

Master Huang couldn't help but swallow.

It has been quite a few years since it broke through to the Creation Realm. In these years, it has been supported by the Bai family and cultivated with the help of their incense. Its mental state has steadily improved, but its resources have not kept up. Its realm is a step behind its mental state, and it has never been able to break through to the middle stage of the Creation Realm.

Could this bottle of elixir really have such potent medicinal power?

Chen Yang said, "If you don't believe me, you can inspect the goods first. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. You can pay me back after you've inspected the goods!"

As for "testing the goods," just drink it directly.

"You really don't need to be so polite!"

While making polite remarks, Master Huang obediently took the bottle with his hands.

Instead of drinking, it said, "Of course I trust you. Find me paper and pen, and I'll write down the technique for you!"

……

-

In the hall.

A white weasel sat on the sofa, holding a pen and writing rapidly in a notebook.

Another weasel with pure yellow fur lay nearby, peering intently at the scene.

This scene made Chen Yang feel like he was watching an animated film.

……

In just over ten minutes, Master Huang finished writing down the technique. He read it over himself first to make sure it was correct before giving it to Chen Yang.

Putting everything else aside, Master Huang's calligraphy is truly beautiful.

At least Chen Yang felt inferior to him.

Of course, the quality of the handwriting doesn't matter; the content is what matters.

Chen Yang picked up the notebook and started reading.

Two weasels squatted on either side of him, and Old Huang was watching carefully. Since Huang Silang could cultivate this technique, he should be able to too.

In terms of talent and aptitude, he was far inferior to his cousin, but with Chen Yang around, he was sure Chen Yang could help him master this technique.

After all, it was Chen Yang's personal fire-tending servant for alchemy.

The chapter on Liver Fire in the Five Elements, Five Organs, and Five True Fires.

This fire originates from the liver, one of the five internal organs. This text describes three pathways for practicing this energy, which connect the liver meridian. The true essence circulates through the liver meridian, transforming into fire-attribute energy, which is then output outside the body and can ignite on its own.

This is a fire within a fire, with an extremely high temperature. If it encounters ordinary fire, its power will be doubled. It is the most dangerous of the five samadhi fires. If not handled properly, it is easy to set yourself on fire and burn yourself.

Chen Yang looked at the cultivation route and it seemed to be based on acupoints that are present on the human body, not specifically designed for Huang Silang.

I wanted to give it a try right then and there.

Sitting cross-legged on the sofa, Chen Yang immediately mobilized his true energy and, following the energy flow path in the cultivation technique, began to stimulate his acupoints.

It took more than three hours for the three energy circulation routes to be completed, thus circulating the energy throughout the body.

The true essence circulates within the three liver meridians, transforming into a stream of heat that flows through the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin, reaches the palm, and shoots out from the acupoints in the palm.

"boom!"

The heat flowed in his palm, came into contact with the air, and then rubbed against each other. In an instant, a flame the size of a coin appeared in Chen Yang's palm.

A wave of heat instantly spread to the surrounding area.

Chen Yang felt a heat in his palm and quickly adjusted his true energy to raise the flame a little higher.

"Huh?"

When Master Huang saw this scene, he was somewhat surprised.

What kind of talent is this? It's my first time cultivating, and I got it so easily?

Chen Yang stared at the flame in his palm. The flame glowed with a blue light, indicating that the temperature was definitely not low.

If it's only this level, the consumption of true essence is still within an acceptable range. With his current reserves of true essence, burning it for an hour or two shouldn't be a problem.

"You're quite talented!"

Master Huang peeked over, but then realized he had said something pointless.

At such a young age, how could someone with such strength be lacking in talent?
"Can you control this flame, make it a little bigger?" Master Huang asked.

Chen Yang shook his head.

It can definitely get bigger; just increase the release of true essence. If you give enough qi, the fire will naturally grow bigger.

But he was afraid of losing control, and if the house were set on fire, it would be disastrous.

Master Huang commented with great interest, "The fire seems a bit too hot. It's clear your liver fire isn't strong enough, your liver meridian isn't open enough, and the fuel quality isn't good enough. You need to get your liver fire going so that the power of this fire within a fire can be truly unleashed. However, it's not a big problem. I have a prescription for boosting liver fire here. If your liver fire is insufficient, you can use medicine to replenish it..."

Chen Yang cut off the flow of true energy, and the flames floating in his palm were extinguished.

Excessive liver fire?
This inevitably reminded Chen Yang of the "Little Dragon Elephant Kung Fu".

One major side effect of this exercise is that it can lead to excessive liver fire.

Excessive liver fire can lead to irritability. Therefore, if you are not in a good state of mind and cannot suppress the anger caused by liver fire, you need to find a way to relieve it while practicing the Little Dragon Elephant Kung Fu.

Chen Yang's method was simple: take medicine.

He recently picked up the "Little Dragon Elephant Kung Fu" again and started practicing it. He also started taking medicine to soothe his liver and relieve his anger, so his liver fire naturally subsided.

However, as Master Huang said, if the liver fire is not strong, the quality of the fire-attribute energy transformed from the true essence will not be high. If the fuel is not good enough, the quality of the liver fire produced will naturally not be high.

So, I need to nourish my liver fire. Therefore, I don't need to take any liver-soothing and qi-regulating medicine; I can directly practice the "Little Dragon Elephant Kung Fu," which will quickly nourish my liver fire.

In this way, the side effects of the Little Dragon Elephant Skill can no longer be called side effects. This skill actually makes up for the shortcomings of the Little Dragon Elephant Skill.

It was an unexpected bonus, in a way.

Once the pure energy within the body has completely tempered the liver, the level of liver fire might even improve further.

Thinking this to himself, Chen Yang then asked Master Huang for a prescription to boost liver fire.

Master Huang said, “Whether it’s a human or a spirit beast like us, the five elements within our bodies maintain a delicate balance. Once the five elements are out of balance, the body is prone to problems. It’s true that my prescription can strengthen liver fire, but over time, if the liver fire becomes too strong, it will still lead to an imbalance of the five elements. My solution is to release the fire periodically, whether you use it or not, in order to maintain the balance of the five elements…”

"How do we vent our anger?" Chen Yang asked.

Master Huang said, "Just like you did, releasing the liver fire in your body will do. Alternatively, you can take medicine. I also have a formula for releasing liver fire here. However, if you want a permanent solution, it's best to learn the Five True Fires. Then, the five elements will naturally balance out through mutual generation and restraint..."

Chen Yang nodded and then had it copy down a prescription for relieving liver fire. "You said earlier that this technique came from a great figure you once followed. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to tell me what kind of person this great figure you mentioned was?"

Master Huang said, "Years ago, I met a reclusive master on Changbai Mountain. At that time, I had just broken through to the Spirit Realm. I ate one of his ginseng roots and was captured by him. He used a combination of threats and bribes to trick me into burning pills for him. I burned pills for more than ten years. Later, he left Changbai Mountain and released me..."

"As for his name, others call him Yunyangzi. I'm not sure about his cultivation level or anything, but I imagine he must be very strong. I once saw him soaring through the air on Changbai Mountain, walking on air. I've heard that even ordinary Dao Zhen Realm experts would find it difficult to do such a thing..."

……

It held its neck high, and whether it was bragging or not, its furry face was full of pride.

Yunyangzi?

Chen Yang had never heard of it and didn't pay much attention to the issue; he was more interested in learning about this martial art.

Master Huang said, "I heard from Yunyangzi that this 'Five Flame True Fire Technique' is a secret technique of the Divine Fire Sect in the Western Frontier. He fought with the people of the Divine Fire Sect and seized it many years ago. However, the manual was damaged in the fight, and only the Liver Fire chapter was relatively intact. So he only passed on this chapter to me, which is just right to help him refine pills..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang raised an eyebrow.

The Divine Fire Sect?

He didn't care whether this Yunyangzi truly only had one copy or was deliberately only passing on one copy to Master Huang. Since it was something from the Divine Fire Sect, if he encountered someone from the Divine Fire Sect again in the future, perhaps he could try to manipulate things and see if he could get the complete "Five Elements, Five Organs, Five Flames True Fire Technique".

……

evening.

Chen Yang had mastered the "Liver Fire Chapter" to perfection, and was able to control the size and temperature of the flames at will. Only then did he come to the backyard, ready to test the newly learned True Fire to see if it would really enhance the process of alchemy, as Master Huang had said.

"Click!"

First, after setting up the stove, Chen Yang turned on the gas stove.

If the furnace were to be fueled entirely with true essence, the energy consumption would be enormous.

The process of alchemy is often measured in hours, and some top-grade pills can even take several days to refine. It involves burning one's true essence, which can potentially burn a person dry. If one's true essence runs out halfway through, the entire batch of pills may be ruined.

The True Fire in the Liver Fire Chapter is a fire within a fire. If it encounters ordinary fire, its power will be doubled. Ordinary fire can fuel the fire within the fire.

The fire from the gas stove is just ordinary fire. After lighting the stove, Chen Yang only needs a small output of real fire to reap huge rewards.

Beside the furnace, Chen Yang circulated his true essence according to the cultivation method, and then shot out the true essence from the fingertip of his right hand. With just a wisp of true essence, the furnace fire suddenly roared to life, as if some kind of reaction catalyst had been added.

A scorching heat hit me, and the flames emitted a blue light.

The bottom of the stove quickly turned red-hot. In the past, it would have taken at least several minutes of preheating to get the bottom of the stove red-hot.

The interaction between real fire and ordinary fire is indeed not as simple as one plus one equals two.

Chen Yang didn't rush to refine the pills. He added half a furnace of water and practiced controlling the fire first.

With this wisp of real fire present, Chen Yang felt he had a unique sensitivity to controlling the temperature of the fire, and the furnace temperature seemed easier to control than when using a simple ordinary fire.

The water in the stove boiled in less than half a minute, and steam billowed out.

Chen Yang practiced for about half an hour and felt good about himself. Meanwhile, the water in the stove had almost boiled away.

It did not consume much real fire.

Without further hesitation, Chen Yang placed the pre-soaked medicinal herbs into the furnace one by one, according to the recipe, and began refining the Five Dragons Pill.

This time, Chen Yang clearly felt that his control over the furnace temperature was much more precise than when he directly turned the gas valve.

The furnace can reach higher temperatures, and by controlling the supply of real fire, the furnace temperature can be quickly adjusted, resulting in faster and higher-quality liquefaction of medicinal materials.

With the assistance of Chen Yang's mental energy to control the pills, this batch of Five Dragon Pills was completed in less than an hour.

As soon as the furnace door opened, a burst of steam carrying a strong medicinal aroma rushed out, forming a mushroom cloud above the furnace opening. The pills, affected by the pressure inside the furnace, also rushed out.

Chen Yang was prepared and rushed out with lightning speed, grabbing at the air.

Five pills along the way.

It appeared in Chen Yang's hand, scalding hot.

Luckily, I'm physically strong enough, otherwise I would have definitely gotten burned.

Chen Yang quickly checked the results: five pills, one of which was of superior quality, two of which were of medium quality, and two of which were of inferior quality.

Extending two fingers, Chen Yang picked up the top-grade Five Dragon Pill, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Including this batch, we've refined three batches of Five Dragon Pills today, and this is the first high-grade one.

It seems that using real fire to refine pills is indeed much more effective.

He saved a third of the time cost and the probability of producing high-grade pills was also higher. Looking back, he even felt that his level should be more than this, and the success rate of producing high-grade pills should be able to be improved.

Still feeling unsatisfied, I washed the stove, ready to continue.

The medicinal herbs I prepared this time should be enough to refine five or six batches. I'll try to refine them all tonight, since the Five Dragon Pills are a consumable resource.

He had far too few high-grade Five Dragon Pills.

……

"Squeak..."

At this moment, the two weasels that were observing from the side suddenly cried out.

Chen Yang turned around and saw Old Huang and Fourth Master Huang standing on a stone slab not far away, looking at the sky.

Following the gaze of the two weasels, Chen Yang looked up.

His brows furrowed again.

High in the sky, below the clouds, a group of figures were circling.

It's those vultures again.

Chen Yang's eyebrows were squeezed together to form a "川" shape.

Why is it these beasts again?

"Squeak..."

Old Huang looked at Chen Yang, and a mental wave entered Chen Yang's mind, asking if he wanted it to use the little white snake to fly up and check the situation.

These beasts hover over their heads every few days, making them feel as if there's a camera hanging above their heads, which is very uncomfortable.

Chen Yang pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

Firstly, it wasn't dark yet, and it wouldn't be good if the villagers saw him; secondly, what if someone with ulterior motives was testing him? Wouldn't his actions reveal his true intentions and expose his trump card?

It's best to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.

Master Huang said, "Vultures are creatures of the plateau, how did they end up here? Judging from their posture, they seem to be looking for something. You were refining pills here just now, they probably saw you..."

Chen Yang didn't speak, but stared at the flock of vultures for a while.

Sure enough, not long after, the flock of vultures disappeared into the clouds and vanished without a trace.

……

This commotion completely ruined Chen Yang's mood for continuing to refine pills.

He tidied up the stove, put it away, and went inside.

in the kitchen.

"Do those vultures come here often?"

Chen Yang was making dinner when Huang Siye jumped onto the stove and asked a question out of curiosity.

"I've been here a few times, it's a bit inexplicable," Chen Yang said.

Master Huang said, "This thing lives on the plateau and couldn't have appeared here for no reason. There must be someone controlling it. The only beings who can control such a spirit beast are probably cultivators from the plateau..."
