I pondered over and over again the secret formula for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill in my mind, and constantly compared it with the problems I encountered when refining other pills.
Time passed little by little, and Xu Wen slowly came up with many ideas.
With a move of his hand, the alchemy furnace slowly flew out from the earthly fire. With a thought, Lu Xiaoyao led the herd of deer to bring him all the elixirs he needed.
Of course, it was not the elixir of the Foundation Establishment Pill, but another elixir that he had been pondering for a long time and prepared to use to advance to the second level alchemy master, the Mujin Qingming Pill.
Mujin Qingming Pill is a second-level healing elixir that can remove many toxins. The main material for refining it is wood heart that is more than 200 years old, and there are only a dozen kinds of auxiliary medicines.
Compared with the Foundation Establishment Pill, the difficulty of refining is much lower.
Xu Wen had tried to refine it several times before, but always failed in the final step of merging the two spiritual things of wood and water.
These days, he has read a lot of recipes for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. The combination of medicinal materials and pharmacological discrimination have given him a lot of experience, so he just happened to try it on the Mujin Qingming Pill.
With a wave of his hand, several auxiliary medicines fell into the elixir furnace and slowly turned into elixir liquid under the operation of his magic power.
Several newborn sika deer were attracted by the scent of the medicine and curiously came to the alchemy furnace, watching his every move.
After several auxiliary medicines were put into the furnace, Xu Wen took out the main medicine and threw the dragon blood wood heart into the alchemy furnace.
Different from before, this time he pushed back the order of adding the main medicine a little. What seemed like a very small change made the final elixir significantly richer.
A few days later, all the medicinal materials were put into the furnace, and at the most critical moment, a few drops of Qingming spiritual water were added.
In the past, Xu Wen always made mistakes at this time.
When a drop of Qingming Spiritual Water was poured down, not only did it not have the effect of harmonizing water and wood, but it caused the entire elixir to explode and turn into coke.
Carefully guarding the elixir, he shook the clear spiritual water into a fine mist with one palm, and carefully seeped out of the imperial elixir from all directions according to the newly learned method.
The elixir looked like a liquid, but the temperature was extremely high. As soon as it came into contact, it made a series of crackling sounds, and some of the elixir exploded and turned into coke.
But the vast majority of the elixir was retained, and some Qingming spiritual water was incorporated into it.
It was an improvement compared to the last time. Xu Wen was immediately overjoyed and manipulated the second drop of clear water to melt into the elixir.
After a few times, a violent explosion suddenly came from the alchemy furnace, and the unpleasant burnt smell overflowed, scaring a few deer who were watching on the sidelines and fled far away.
The refining of Mujin Qingming Pill failed again, but Xu Wen was not depressed at all, but was in high spirits.
The explosion of the elixir in the end was not due to another problem, but because too much was consumed in the early stage, and too little elixir was left, to the point where it could no longer sustain itself, and finally it exploded under high temperature.
Although they were both explosions, this failure was completely different from the previous fusion failures.
And the process of successfully integrating into Qingming Lingshui these few times also shows that Xu Wen's idea is right, what he lacks is just proficiency.
Without resting, he cleaned the alchemy furnace and ordered the deer to bring a new pill. He continued his efforts and started refining the pill again.
The raw material value of a second-level elixir is not low. Even if an ordinary alchemist has enough magical power and spiritual consciousness, it is difficult for him to have so many spiritual objects for him to squander.
Moreover, some elixirs are not only valuable, but also extremely rare, and there is nowhere to buy them if you have the money.
But with the support of the Mysterious Cave, there are many spiritual trees and spiritual waters inside, allowing Xu Wen to use them without any restrictions. His error tolerance rate is much higher than that of ordinary alchemists.
A few days later, there was another explosion, and the alchemy failed again. When he was only one step away from becoming the elixir, he failed to control it well, and the elixir exploded at the last moment.
"Come again!"
After giving the order, the third material was delivered again, but this time he did not take action immediately. Instead, he calmly went through all the previous alchemy processes in his mind.
After a long time, just when the deer on the side were about to lose their patience, Xu Wen suddenly flicked his fingers and entered several auxiliary medicines into the alchemy furnace.
Ten days later, a soft roar came, streams of fragrance poured out from the alchemy furnace, and the deer suddenly emitted a series of unending roaring sounds.
Two months later, the Jinghong Island cultivators who were always paying attention to the elixir shop suddenly discovered that there was an elixir named "Mujin Qingming Dan" in the elixir shop.
The price tag is one thousand spiritual stones, and the instructions clearly read "Second-level elixir, to remove poison and calm the mind." On the bottom of the jade bottle containing the elixir, there are three small seal characters "Xiu Ning Ji" engraved on it.
All the things Xu Wen refined personally had the words "Xiu Ning Ji" on the packaging, and only the things he refined had these three words on them.
The meaning is self-evident.
In less than a day, the news spread throughout the Jinghong Island cultivation world. Everyone knew that Xu Wen had advanced to become a second-level alchemist.
Xu Wen had previously announced that he would refine a foundation-building pill every twenty years, but everyone was still a little skeptical.
After all, alchemists are rare, and for Xu Wen, the Foundation Establishment Pill is meaningless. Everyone is somewhat doubtful about whether he is willing to spend time on the Foundation Establishment Pill.
But now, Xu Wen came to take pills like Mujin Qingming Pill, which were even more useless to him and was willing to refine them in large quantities. Foundation Establishment Pill should not be a problem.
In an instant, the entire Jinghong Island monks had hope.
The path of cultivation is lonely and monotonous most of the time.
The reason why there are still many monks working hard is to reach higher and higher realms, such as Qi refining, foundation building, golden elixir, and even Nascent Soul...
The Foundation Establishment Pill is the most basic link in this tall building.
The original two island owners simply ignored the needs of the island's creatures and never invested any Foundation Establishment Pills on Jinghong Island.
Although the owner of an island can be bossy and make demands on the islanders, he must also bear certain obligations.
Providing Foundation Building Pills and providing a possible upward path for the islanders is one of the most important responsibilities of the island owner.
The two island owners blindly demanded, or in other words, blindly ignored the needs of other monks, which led to the alienation of all cultivating clans from them.
King Nilu can easily inspire others, which is also a very important reason.
Now, Xu Wen made it very clear that he would provide foundation-building pills to all living beings on the island, which immediately gave everyone hope.
Regardless of whether they were human beings or not, everyone was in high spirits after the appearance of Mujin Qingming Dan, and the atmosphere of the entire island suddenly changed.
As the master of an island, Xu Wen could naturally detect this change from the behavior and attitudes of others, and secretly sighed.
In fact, even if he refines the Foundation Establishment Pill and sells it all.
Compared with the huge base of monks, there are still very few people who can obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, and the vast majority of monks still have no chance.
But just such a small opportunity can still make people burst out with strong motivation.
Hope, no matter how slim, as long as there is a trace, can inspire all people's fighting spirit.
However, Mujin Qingming Pill and Foundation Establishment Pill are completely different.
Even if he has become a second-level alchemist and has a systematic knowledge and understanding of alchemy, refining the foundation-building pill is still very difficult and requires repeated trials.
Moreover, there are many auxiliary medicines in the Foundation Establishment Pill. Even if there is a Mysterious Cave, there are still many gaps that require mobilization of the entire island to fill them.
As a result, many people who wanted to buy medicine, plant herbs, and search for elixir seeds soon appeared in the mission hall.
The elixir suitable for growing in Xuanji Cave will naturally be planted in Xuanji Cave.
While purchasing others, some practitioners were also asked to try to plant them, just in time to try to cultivate some spiritual planters for Jinghong Island.
Although Xu Wen didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew that these medicinal materials must be prepared for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.
As long as there is still a glimmer of hope for the avenue, individuals will immediately become busy.
After months of harassment, Yang Zhen, Jin Lan and others have found out the details of the pirates.
Although pirates make a living by robbing, they can't actually make a living by robbing, let alone practice, they can only trade.
They must use certain channels to sell the looted wealth and then buy what they need.
The largest cargo distribution center in this area is Kowloon City where Nascent Soul is stationed.
According to the clues from Kowloon City, everyone soon discovered the traces of pirates.
What surprised Xu Wen was that the other party was still wandering around Jinghong Island and Dacheng Island, seeming to be eyeing this route.
These pirates are not only a threat to Dacheng Island, but also a direct threat to Jinghong Island.
After several months of preparation, Jinghong Island and Dacheng Island dispatched three ships and headed towards the other side's waters.
This was the first naval battle on Jinghong Island, and all the elites came out.
Not only Yang Zhen and He Jiu, the two foundation-building monks, were all dispatched, but Zhang Feng, Yuan Lu, Li Hua and other late-stage Qi refining monks were also dispatched almost in full force.
If anything goes wrong in this battle, Jinghong Island will be severely damaged and will not be able to recover for decades.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. The background of Jinghong Island is too poor, and there are not many people who can even operate sea ships.
Yang Zhen's masters and disciples could only barely operate sea ships, and it was completely impossible to use sea ships to fight.
Only by taking this opportunity to bring Zhang Feng and others out can we lay the foundation for the future development of Jinghong Island.
Fortunately, Dacheng Island is very committed to destroying this group of pirates.
Not only were two sea-going ships dispatched, but also many skilled sailors were dispatched, which allowed the sea-going ship to sail smoothly.
Constantly patrolling the ship, Xu Wen couldn't help but be amazed by such a large magic weapon.
A sea-going ship is actually a complex treasure that integrates magic weapon, magic circle, storage, flight, and navigation. Attack, defense, life, and cultivation can all be carried out on a sea-going ship.
Even lower-grade sea-going ships are far more complex than ordinary magic weapons. They require extremely complex manufacturing blueprints and the cooperation of dozens or even hundreds of weapon refiners to refine them.
This is a huge system project that cannot be solved in one level.
Even if there are complete blueprints, without the cooperation of many people, even the most skilled weapon refiner is unlikely to be able to build the lowest level sea-going ship.
There is a long way to go!
Although this was not his first time observing, Xu Wen still couldn't help but have this idea in his heart.
For Jinghong Island to develop to the level of Dacheng Island, the difference is not only the people, but also the endless accumulation of years.
