[Check-in successful!]
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the "Alchemy Manual"!]
The moment the system notification sounded in his mind, a vast torrent of information, as boundless as a starry sea, surged into Zhang Qingxuan's consciousness.
In that instant, he seemed to see a grand scroll of alchemy spanning countless ages unfolding before his eyes:
The book opens with a catalog of thousands of medicinal herbs, from the most common blood-activating herb to the legendary immortal herb. Every detail of each herb, including its form, medicinal properties, growing environment, harvesting time, and preservation methods, is presented in great detail.
Many of these medicinal herbs were completely unknown to Zhang Qingxuan, and their described effects were nothing short of miraculous.
Next came the section on medicinal formulas. Tens of thousands of formulas flowed like a waterfall, from the most basic hemostatic powder...
From Qi-restoring pills to elixirs that can instantly restore health... every pill formula details the required medicinal materials, refining steps, heat control, signs of successful pill formation, and even the insights and experiences of many alchemists during the refining process.
Then comes the section on techniques. Various fire control techniques, pill condensation techniques, pill collection techniques, pill nourishment techniques... all incredibly profound. Among them is a "method of refining with the mind," which uses the soul as the furnace, the heart fire as the fuel, and intention as the craftsman, refining pills without the need for a physical furnace, truly the pinnacle of alchemy.
Finally, there is the chapter on flames. This chapter records the forms, characteristics, and methods of obtaining various strange flames in the world, as well as... several secret methods for condensing one's own primordial flames! One of them, the "Yin-Yang Creation Flame," requires the collection of energy from two attributes, Yin and Yang, and their fusion using a special method. Once mastered, it can burn mountains and boil seas, and can also greatly improve the success rate of alchemy and the quality of pills.
The flood of information lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
When Zhang Qingxuan reopened his eyes, there seemed to be flickering flames of elixir within them, and the flow of medicinal energy.
He stood still, carefully sorting through the vast and boundless Daoist alchemy heritage in his mind. Every detail was crystal clear, as if he had been born with it.
After a long while, he gently exhaled a breath of stale air, which carried a faint medicinal fragrance.
"What a magnificent alchemical treatise..." Zhang Qingxuan murmured in admiration, his eyes gleaming with an unprecedented light.
"With this inheritance, all the elixirs in the world will be in your hands."
He looked around at the exotic flowers and plants, then at the Yin-Yang Eye where ice and fire intertwined, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Several days passed quietly in the valley where ice and fire intertwined.
Above the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Zhang Qingxuan had been sitting in meditation for countless days and nights.
Around him, the energy of frost and fire surged and rippled like the tide, yet it was drawn by an invisible force, constantly sinking into his outstretched palms.
In the palm of his hand, the energy core that was constantly collapsing and expanding was emitting a heart-palpitating fluctuation.
"The thirty-sixth time..."
Zhang Qingxuan's eyes were tightly closed, and fine beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, but his mind was as calm as an ancient well.
The condensation of Yin-Yang Creation Fire is far more difficult than described in the "Alchemy Canon" because what he used was not the true Sun Fire or the true Yin Fire.
Such divine fire from heaven and earth is something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought after.
But within this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire lies the ultimate ice and fire energy, so high in quality that it can replace those two divine fires!
"Using ice to represent Yin, and fire to represent Yang... with ice and fire complementing each other, Yin and Yang naturally arise..."
He silently recited the methods he had deduced over the past few days, carefully controlling the raging energy in his palm.
On the left, the ultimate ice, with its icy blue energy, almost froze the space itself; on the right, the ultimate fire, with its crimson flames, twisted the air.
Two forces that should have been mutually exclusive and annihilated were forcibly combined under the harmonization of the Yin-Yang diagram.
In the first thirty-five attempts, they all failed at this step of "blending".
Either the balance of ice and fire is disrupted, causing energy to explode; or the harmony of yin and yang is lost, preventing creation from taking place.
Even with the Yin-Yang symbol mediating between them, these two energies remain unruly.
But this time, it seems different.
The energy core in the palm no longer vibrated violently as before, but gradually stabilized.
The icy blue and crimson were no longer clearly distinct; instead, they began to slowly merge, giving birth to a wisp of hazy, chaotic airflow at their intersection.
The airflow was initially very faint, like mist or gauze.
But as Zhang Qingxuan poured his last bit of divine power into Yiweng!
The ball of energy in his palm suddenly collapsed!
At this moment, the icy blue and crimson completely merged, transforming into a gray vortex the size of a fist.
At the center of the cyclone, a faint two-colored light, like the first ray of light born from chaos, quietly lit up.
The light was icy blue on the left, like ancient ice, cold and aloof; and crimson on the right, like fire flowing from the heavens, intense and flamboyant.
The two colors slowly rotated in the light, outlining a miniature Tai Chi symbol.
Become!
Zhang Qingxuan suddenly opened his eyes, a look of wild joy flashing in them.
"Haha, it's finally done!"
He burst into laughter, the sound echoing through the valley and causing icicles to fall from the rock walls.
The laughter contained the unbridled joy that had been suppressed for several days.
The white dragon, which was dozing by the spring, was startled by the sudden laughter. It raised its head sharply and scanned its surroundings warily with its vertical pupils.
When it saw the two-colored flame, no bigger than a thumb, quietly floating in Zhang Qingxuan's palm, its scales involuntarily bristled.
That was a tremor that came from the depths of one's blood.
Although the flame was small, it exuded an aura that terrified the white dragon.
Zhang Qingxuan carefully held the "Yin-Yang Creation Fire," which was born after thirty-five failures and replaced with the Yin-Yang Divine Fire by the essence of ice and fire, and was finally born before him.
The flames burned quietly in his palm, the icy blue and crimson slowly swirling and merging into a chaotic gray at the center.
It has no temperature, or rather, its temperature is extremely restrained—when your gaze falls on the icy blue half, your soul feels chilled; when you look at the crimson half, your soul feels as if it is about to be burned.
"Although ice and fire replace yin and yang, the essence is already there, and creation has begun..." Zhang Qingxuan nodded in satisfaction.
With a thought, he guided the nascent flame of creation, slowly sinking it into his dantian along his meridians.
However, just as the flames entered his body, a thunderous roar erupted!
Deep within his dantian, a dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly erupted without warning!
That was the "Nine Profound Divine Thunder" (a newly chosen name) within Zhang Qingxuan's body.
This divine lightning was usually extremely docile, lying dormant in the corner of the dantian, ready to be commanded at will.
But today, the moment the Yin-Yang Creation Fire entered the dantian, it was as if a ferocious beast had invaded its territory and suddenly attacked!
Crack!
The purple lightning bolts roared like a raging dragon, carrying immense divine might, and crashed violently into the two-colored flames that had just entered the dantian. Wherever the lightning passed, the meridians throbbed with pain.
"Stop fooling around!"
Zhang Qingxuan's heart tightened, and he quickly suppressed it.
These two are fundamentally different: one is the Nine Profound Divine Thunder, which is extremely yang and hard, and is formed from the origin of heavenly tribulation; the other is the primordial fire that combines ice and fire and nurtures creation. Their attributes are different, and their levels are extremely high.
If they were to fight inside his dantian, that would be quite a spectacle.
