Chapter 31 Alchemy
"Qi Gathering Pill is a commonly used elixir for monks in the Qi training period, and the supply is often in short supply. This time, I will teach you how to make Qi Gathering Pill," the elegant man obviously didn't intend to introduce himself, and went straight to the point. A group of casual practitioners in the Qi training period could not get into the eyes of an alchemist in his foundation building period.
"The main medicine for refining Juqi Pill is Julingcao, which needs to be aged for more than 20 years. There are twelve kinds of auxiliary medicines, which need to be aged for more than 10 years. They are green leaf radish and clover flower..."
While introducing, the elegant man took out elixir plants and placed them on the table. Then he took out a copper tripod and a piece of charcoal.
Ignite the spirit charcoal, and explain it to everyone while making alchemy.
I saw him throwing the spiritual herbs into the furnace one by one, and playing a spell, the flame immediately shot up, and bursts of blue smoke began to emerge from the furnace.
"This is to remove impurities, and the next step is to extract the medicinal power.
"...""
An hour later, the furnace cover flew up, and a burst of medicinal fragrance permeated the air. On the bottom of the furnace, there were five finger-sized elixir dripping and rolling.
A batch of elixir is full of ten pills, and the rate of 50% of the pills is not high or low, which is at a medium level.
Wang Hong thought that after this period of study, he should be able to open a furnace to make alchemy.
Wang Hong arrived at Gao's Artifact Refining Workshop familiarly, and saw Gao Yue's humble smiling face as soon as he entered the door.
"Brother! What wind brought you here?"
As soon as this guy came over, he pulled Wang Hong's sleeve, and Wang Hong threw it away, wondering if this guy had a special hobby.
This guy is an acquaintance, and Wang Hong only came a few times in total.
"I'm going to buy an alchemy furnace this time, do you have it here?"
"Yes, of course. Our Gao's Artifact Refining Workshop has been focusing on alchemy for two hundred years. Although the alchemy furnace is difficult to refine and the sales volume is not large, we still have stock." Gao Yue introduced very proudly. The bottom line accumulated by generations.
After a while, he took out a pill furnace the size of a millstone and placed it in front of Wang Hong.
"Bronze furnace with phoenix pattern, low-grade magic weapon."
Then he went in and took out a smaller red alchemy furnace.
"Red Copper Amphora Furnace, Middle Grade Magical Artifact."
Then there was another crackling introduction (boasting), Wang Hong went straight into his left ear and out of his right ear. Take the two alchemy furnaces in your hands and observe carefully.
Finally spent 2,000 spirit stones to buy the middle-grade alchemy furnace.
On the way, I went to buy a relatively simple formation disk. The movement of alchemy is too big, so it is better to use formation to cover it up.
Back to the residence, after setting up the formation, Wang Hong thought about it quietly, and thought through all the processes.
Set up the alchemy furnace, ignite the spirit charcoal, and start to warm the furnace. After a few breaths, start to put in the spirit grass, and then cover it. All movements are meticulous.
Half a quarter of an hour later, bursts of black smoke came out, with a burnt smell. When the lid was opened, all the spiritual herbs inside were burnt to charcoal.
Cleaning up the alchemy furnace, Wang Hong did not rush to practice the second furnace, but quietly thought for a long time, summing up the experience of failure.
The second furnace, this time it was not burnt, the impurities were not quenched, and it finally became a sticky lump.
Wang Hong thought and summed up for half an hour.
Thinking, summarizing.
The fourth furnace is scrapped
…
The 30th furnace, scrapped.
Wang Hong was not discouraged. After continuous summarization, he knew that he was getting closer to success.
…
The thirty-seventh furnace, opened the furnace lid, two finger-sized, white elixirs came into view.
"Hahaha! It finally worked! I'm such a genius!" At this moment, I saw a black figure who was so excited that he was rolling around the room.
Wang Hong was excited for a while, then slowly calmed down and prepared to continue practicing.
Take out a few pieces of homemade dried meat and eat it. Immortal cultivators have Bigu Dan, which can last for several days without being hungry. Wang Hong ate it once and thought it was not tasty, so he still ate the meat with big mouthfuls.
It's just that the beast meat is not helpful for him to improve his cultivation now, Wang Hong is still thinking about hunting a few monsters and eating them back.
After eating the dried meat, I picked a few raspberries and finished eating. After thinking and summing up some experience, he started the next round of alchemy.
With a successful experience, the success rate of alchemy will increase greatly later. In the beginning, every five furnaces would be successful, and then four furnaces would become one furnace. In the end, when the two hundred materials were used up, it would only fail once in a while.
In the end, one hundred and eighty Qi Gathering Pills were obtained. On average, the success rate of the pills was not even 10%. An alchemist's alchemy rate must reach 20% in order to protect his capital.
He obviously lost money, his two hundred shares of spirit grass are worth four thousand spirit stones. He refined it into a elixir worth 1,800 spirit stones. Wang Hong couldn't help sighing that it really took too much resources to train alchemists.
Called Zhang Chunfeng and Shouhou to his side, and gave each of them a bottle of elixir. Both of them are currently at the second level of Qi training, but Zhang Chunfeng should be able to break through to the third level of Qi training soon. Thin monkeys are not as good due to their aptitude.
In the past two years, with the help of the elixirs he distributed, all of the forty or so soldiers under his command reached the innate stage except for those who had transformed spiritual power.
Wang Hong planned that once he broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, he would be able to practice several combat spells, and then lead his men to hunt monsters outside the city to test their combat effectiveness and summarize their strengths and weaknesses.
The world of cultivating immortals is more dangerous than the secular world, and there are constant battles. If you have no strength, you may die at any time.
Wang Hong began to concentrate on training again, refining one Qi Gathering Pill every day, and finally broke through to the fourth floor on the tenth day.
At the fourth floor, you can finally release your consciousness. When you release your consciousness, even with your eyes closed, you can sense everything around you, which is even clearer than what you can see with your own eyes.
He could sense that an earthworm was digging into the soil in the soil layer, and a fly was buzzing past, and he could sense that the last left leg of the fly was injured.
Wang Hong discovered that his spiritual consciousness could be extended two feet away, but it was recorded in the book that the spiritual consciousness of a monk who had just broken through to the fourth level of Qi training could only be extended by one foot.
Strong spiritual consciousness has a great advantage in fighting skills, alchemy, talisman making, weapon refining, and formations. For example, when fighting with others, the attack distance is longer. Others can only use divine sense to assist in precise attacks within a range of one foot, but you can carry out precise attacks from two feet away, so you naturally have the advantage.
Wang Hong speculates that it may be related to the space. His consciousness body that appears in the space may be his primordial spirit. Wang Hong still doesn't know much about Yuanshen. But I often do all kinds of work in the space, and after a long time, I can obviously feel the enhancement of my spiritual body.
Entering the fourth level of Qi training, there are many spells that can finally be practiced.
Wang Hong most yearns for the art of harnessing weapons, which is said to be the art of taking the head of an immortal thousands of miles away. Artifact control is a means of manipulating magical weapons with spiritual consciousness and attacking enemies from a long distance.
Wang Hong took out the magic weapon spear and poured spiritual power into it. After absorbing two-thirds of his body's spiritual power, the spear slowly flew up, and then flew crookedly in the air for two breaths, and injected Wang Hong's whole body of spiritual power into it. run out. With a bang, the spear fell to the ground.
With the spiritual power of the fourth level of Qi training, it is almost possible to deliver a blow. No wonder the Fat Taoist who was killed by them that day has never sacrificed a magic weapon to attack from a distance. Can't afford it at all.
Wang Hong drank a few sips of spirit wine to replenish his mana, and practiced again.
