Chapter 17: Attempting a Medium Grade Dan
With regards to the use of the blue points of light, Lin Xuan had already initially grasped it, but whether this was all its secrets, or just the tip of the iceberg, Lin Xuan decided to continue exploring.
Pouring out a pill from the jade bottle, this wasn't a waste dan, but a good marrow cleansing dan, obtained from Zhou Yan.
Scrap pills could be purified, so could lower grade marrow cleansing pills also be further purified and upgraded?
Lin Xuan wanted to give it a try!
It was important to realize that including the Marrow Cleansing Pill, every spirit medicine in the cultivation world was divided into four grades: lower-grade, middle-grade, upper-grade, and extreme-grade.
Spirit pills are graded, in fact, the main thing is to look at the impurities contained in them, there is no difference in the materials, the more impurities, the more the useful essence is dispersed, and the worse the effect will be after taking it.
The higher the grade of the elixir, the opposite, it has less impurities, the essence of the concentration, the more obvious the effect after taking.
Of course, the higher the grade, the more difficult it is to refine.
Generally speaking, an impurity content of more than seventy percent is known as a wasted Dan, the impurity content of a lower-grade Dan is about fifty percent, thirty percent for a middle-grade, ten percent for a top-grade, and the impurities in an extreme-grade Dan are few and far between, with only two or three percent.
Cultivation world for tens of thousands of years have been trying to find ways to reduce the impurities of the potion, but countless masters, wise and intelligent people, painstakingly, but the harvest is very little, today's cultivation world of all kinds of elixirs, medulla cleansing dan, foundation building dan, Peiyuan dan, the nine-turn dan, and so on, all the majority of the lower grade.
Lin Xuan now wanted to try to take it a step further, since Xinghai was able to purify waste pills into lower grade, could he also purify lower grade pills into middle grade?
Theoretically it should be possible, Lin Xuan sat down on his knees, holding a snow-white pill in his hand as blue points of light were gathered in his dantian.
After practicing for more than a month, especially after breaking through the second level of the Spiritual Dynamism Stage, his power had increased greatly, and making a large circumferential cycle of the blue points of light no longer felt raw.
However, Lin Xuan was not careless, what he was going to do today was a new attempt, he released all of his divine sense as the light points flowed through his meridians, and then all of it was focused on the Marrow Cleansing Pill in his hand.
After entering the second level of the Spiritual Dynamism Stage, Lin Xuan's values in all aspects were growing exponentially, apart from his spiritual power, his divine sense had also been enhanced to a great extent, whereas originally he could only observe the changes on the surface of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, he was now able to penetrate into the interior of the pill.
The Marrow Cleansing Dan was enlarged several times in his mind, and was visible in every detail. Originally, from the outside, it was snow-white, but at this time, Lin Xuan found that there was still a trace of black stuff inside the interior that was entangled with the white part, and that was the impurities.
And all that needed to be done was to expel these useless things.
The blue point of light passed through the skin and entered the interior of the elixir, before this process Lin Xuan had no way of observing it, what he could do was merely to control the speed of the flow of blue light.
And now, with enhanced divine sense, he could enter the interior of the elixir, and could further study the exact circumstances of the purification.
Lin Xuan controlled the speed of the flow of light points while carefully observing.
Only to see that after the point of light entered the elixir, it flowed inside, the white color represented the essence, and the black color represented the impurities, when it encountered the essence part, the blue light would go straight through without any obstruction, while when it encountered the impurities, it would push it outward a little, and the blue light would consume energy during this process.
Lin Xuan witnessed a piece of black impurity, every time it encountered a blue light point, it moved forward a small distance until it was pushed out of the elixir, so that the impurity was reduced by a little bit.
So that was how the purification process worked, Lin Xuan nodded in his heart, his understanding and mastery of the blue light deepened a little more.
"Since divine sense can enter the interior of the elixir, is it possible to control the blue light spots inside?" Lin Xuan had another thought, since the light dots flowed in the elixir in a haphazard manner, the purification efficiency was not high, if he was able to control it and gather them together, then the purification would become much easier.
Lin Xuan began to try.
To control the points of light that spilled out of his body, he had to attach his divine sense to them, the principle wasn't difficult, it was similar to the repelling technique, however it was difficult to do.
Unlike the actual object, the point of light has no quality and invisible, if it is a high level cultivator, it can be controlled, but Lin Xuan's cultivation is only at the second level of the Spiritual Dynamic Stage, although the divine sense is much more powerful than before the breakthrough of the bottleneck, but it is still far from enough.
After exhausting all his efforts, he only managed to make the blue point of light tremble a little.
Lin Xuan wisely chose to give up, it was still too much of a stretch right now, after his cultivation realm was raised, he would try again.
So Lin Xuan refocused his attention and divine sense on controlling the speed of the flow of the sea of stars within his body and continued purifying it.
The process did not go smoothly either, and soon encountered a new difficulty, compared to the waste dan, although the impurities in the lower grade dan were a bit less, they were more tightly entangled with the essence part, which meant that more blue light energy needed to be consumed in order to separate them out.
And with the passage of time, after an hour, the star sea in the dantian had shrunk to one third of its original size, close to the warning line, and could no longer output blue light outwards.
After the stagnation of the blue light, those impurities that were already on the verge of being discharged from the elixir bounced back and returned to their original state, and combined even more tightly with the essence.
The elixir also turned from pure white to light black.
Lin Xuan opened his eyes and looked at the scrapped elixir in his hand, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face, although this experiment was unsuccessful, there was a considerable gain all the same.
First of all, his own divine sense was able to enter the interior of the elixir, for the purification process, there was a certain amount of understanding, this is for a better grasp of the blue light, the benefits are immeasurable.
Secondly, the blue light that enters the interior of the elixir can still be controlled, it's just that one's own power is not enough at the moment, and when one's divine sense is strong enough, controlling the flow of the blue light within the elixir, the purification efficiency will be even higher.
The so-called experience, is to accumulate in the attempt, in addition to practice, but also need to be good at summarizing, Lin Xuan every experiment, regardless of success or failure, will be in-depth analysis.
It was also due to this attitude of his, coupled with his boldness and meticulousness, that he had gradually uncovered the secret of the blue light point from his original ignorance, and his mastery of it was becoming more and more understood and deeper.
