Chapter 53: Simplify the complex

If anyone else saw this Tongtian elixir recipe, they would definitely be shocked, because it is a pill for monks in the blessed land realm. Strictly speaking, it is an elixir exclusively used by monks in the ninth level realm of the blessed land.

The Tongtian Pill has only one function, and that is to open up the Cave Heaven, which means that when the monks break through from the Blessed Land Realm to the Cave Heaven Realm, they will increase the possibility of success.

You must know that as one's own realm gets higher and higher along the way of cultivating Taoism, it becomes more and more difficult to advance even to a small realm, let alone a large realm, which is truly more difficult than climbing to heaven.

This can be seen from the composition of the Taoist sect.

In the entire Taoist Sect, there are tens of thousands of disciples in the Tongmai Realm, but there are only dozens of disciples in the Blessed Land Realm, and there are only the peak masters and elders of the five peaks in the Dongtian Realm.

Therefore, when you break through to a great realm, even if it is just a little more likely to succeed, it is already a rare thing for a monk.

In addition, the Tongtian Pill is a third-grade elixir, and only a third-grade alchemist or above can refine it.

Naturally, there are levels of alchemists, and the criteria for classification are very simple. How many grades of elixir can be refined is the level of alchemist.

However, it is definitely much more difficult to improve the level of an alchemist than to improve the level of cultivation.

For example, in the huge Taoist Sect, there is only one alchemist, and it is only the second grade. But even so, this alchemist's status in the entire Taoist Sect is extremely transcendent, even on an equal footing with the master of the Five Peaks.

As for the third-grade alchemist, even if the master of the Taoist Sect sees him, he must be respectful, and others may still ignore him.

It can be imagined that the value of this Tongtian Pill is extremely rare on the market. Once it appears, it will inevitably cause competition among countless monks in the Blessed Land Realm.

Seeing Jiang Yun put down the jade slip, his expression still calm, Lao Hei quickly asked: "Brother Jiang, are you sure you can refine this Tongtian Pill?"

Jiang Yun pondered and said: "The material ratio recorded on the elixir recipe is very detailed. It should be possible to refine it, but I have never refined it before. I will definitely need to try it a few more times."

In fact, even though Lao Hei asked Jiang Yun to help him make elixirs, he actually didn't have high hopes. After all, Jiang Yun was too young in age and cultivation.

Furthermore, even a true third-grade alchemist is not completely sure that he can successfully refine the Tongtian Pill.

But now that he heard the clear confidence in Jiang Yun's words, he naturally couldn't help but start to wonder again, was this kid telling lies?

"Brother Jiang, although I don't know how to refining medicine, I heard that the higher the grade of the elixir, the more complicated the refining process is. And I have also read the recipe for the Tongtian Dan. There are as many as three steps. There are more than ten ways, and if even one of them fails, the result will be a failure!"

Hearing this, how could Jiang Yun not understand Lao Hei's doubts about him? He was not angry and said with a smile: "Brother Lao Hei, you are right, but in fact, no matter the grade of the elixir, the refined The techniques and steps may be complicated, but at their core, they lead to the same goal through different paths.”

Lao Hei's heart moved slightly, because these words made him seem to understand something, but he couldn't grasp it for a moment, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

Looking at Lao Hei's expression, Jiang Yun knew that he still didn't believe what he said. After thinking about it, he suddenly pulled out two branches from the pile of materials in front of him.

There is only one solitary leaf on one branch, while there are dozens of leaves on the other branch.

"Brother Hei, look at these two branches. The one with only one leaf is like a first-grade elixir, and the other branch is like a third-grade elixir. It looks leafy and quite complicated, but in fact, the two branches are like a third-grade elixir. There is no difference.”

"All leaves grow on branches, all branches grow on trunks, and all trunks grow on roots."

"The same is true for alchemy. No matter how complicated the steps are, it is built up from the most basic steps bit by bit. As long as you master the basics, it won't be a problem."

“In short, it’s eight words—tracing back to the source and reducing complexity into simplicity!”

While speaking, Jiang Yun flicked his wrist, and all the leaves on the two branches fell down, leaving only two bare branches in his hands.

Seeing this scene, a light suddenly lit up in Lao Hei's eyes. Then, he stood up, cupped his fists and cupped his hands towards Jiang Yun, bowed deeply and said, "Brother, I have benefited a lot from what you said today. Thank you!"

Jiang Yun was startled, stood up hurriedly, held Lao Hei's body with both hands and said, "Brother Lao Hei, what are you doing? I didn't say these words. Grandpa told me. If you want to thank me, just go Thank my grandpa, no need to thank me."

Lao Hei nodded solemnly and said: "Okay, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely visit your ancestor to pay homage!"

Jiang Yun smiled and said: "Okay, as long as Brother Hei is willing, I will take you there in the future!"

In Jiang Yun's mind, this was just a joke from Lao Hei, but in Lao Hei's heart, he really had awe of Jiang Yun's grandfather.

Not to mention that the other party was able to train the young Jiang Yun to become an alchemist. This seemingly simple principle of tracing back to the source and simplifying the complex is actually rarely achieved. few.

Jiang Yun has obviously done it. At least for the process of refining medicine, in his mind, there is no difference between simplicity and complexity.

As he said, no matter how complicated the refining techniques and steps are, they all start from the simplest step-by-step.

"Brother Hei, I haven't refined medicine for a while, and you happen to have enough materials here. I want to try refining a Tianjing Pill first, warm my hands, and then start trying to refine the Tongtian Pill."

"Brother Jiang, you have the final say!"

Next, Jiang Yun stopped talking. With a flick of his wrist, a fireball flew to the bottom of the stone pot and ignited the branches. Then, he reached out to get various materials and began to add them to the pot in an orderly manner.

Lao Hei also closed his mouth, but his eyes were always focused on Jiang Yun.

The more he watched, the more Lao Hei admired Jiang Yun and Jiang Yun's grandfather.

"Brother Jiang's grandfather must be an expert. It seems that what he gave to Brother Jiang were the most basic things, but they were the most useful things. They also laid a solid foundation for Brother Jiang in the way of refining medicine. solid foundation."

"If one day Brother Jiang's cultivation reaches a high level and he has a high-quality alchemy cauldron or alchemy furnace engraved with formations, then there may not be any elixir in this world that he cannot refine!"

Every movement and step that Jiang Yun makes is like flowing clouds and flowing water, without any stagnation, and even brings a kind of visual enjoyment to people.

Obviously, Jiang Yun has repeated this kind of medicine refining countless times, and he may even be able to complete the whole process easily even if he closes his eyes.

At this moment, Lao Hei really wanted all the arrogant alchemists he had met to come and see this scene with their own eyes.

A child of sixteen or seventeen years old, with only the cultivation level of Tongmai Realm, can use a simple stone pot to refine the elixir that a monk dreams of!

If this spreads out, I don’t know how many alchemists will be ashamed of it.
