Lin Xingliao walked quickly into the elixir shop, and the fragrance of herbal medicine hit his nostrils.
This is where the disciples of the Spiritual Medicine Shop sell herbal medicines.
Each disciple of the elixir workshop has an acre of spiritual field, and each disciple only needs to hand in ten first-level herbs every month. Just like the alchemy workshop where Lin Xingliao is located, each alchemy room needs It's the same as turning in a certain amount of elixirs.
The disciples of the Spiritual Medicine Shop can plant four thousand herbs on one acre of land.
Yes, that’s four thousand! An acre of land is not small. A farmer can barely feed his family with half an acre of land.
The excess herbs will be sold to other disciples of the sect, and the same goes for other workshops. The excess resources will be exchanged with fellow sects.
Lin Xingliao came to the bustling market next to the elixir shop, where people of all kinds were trading. The dazzling array of products was like a kaleidoscope, dazzling him. Herbs, minerals, spiritual herbs, elixirs, and many other items that he couldn't name were displayed on the stall one by one.
After all, this is the market next to the elixir shop, and there are more people selling medicinal herbs.
He glanced at a familiar stall. It was a stall selling medicinal herbs, and the stall owner was negotiating the price with a customer enthusiastically. Lin Xingliao recognized the stall owner. He was a senior fellow from the Spiritual Medicine Shop, his surname was Li.
Why didn't Lin Xingliao recognize him? Isn't this the somewhat feminine senior brother from the No. 21 Medicine Field Group?
Senior Brother Li also saw Lin Xingliao. He smiled and said, "Hey, big red man, what do you want to buy?"
Although Senior Brother Li has a complicated mouth, the herbs in his stall are indeed good. Feminine men are indeed more serious and careful in doing things than many women.
After half a month, Senior Brother Li actually started selling medicinal herbs in the market, and what about Lin Xingliao? It took half a month before I learned to control the flame on the spiritual carbon.
Qualifications are something that cannot be compared to others.
Lin Xingliao walked over, clasped his fists in salute, and asked with a smile: "I want to buy some medicinal materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill. Is it available here, Senior Brother Li?"
Senior Brother Li was very polite when he saw Lin Xingliao, so he stopped teasing him. Senior Brother Li replied with a smile: "Of course, I have all kinds of herbs here, such as Huiyang Grass, Blue Blood Flower... The only thing missing is rehmannia glutinosa. That thing is not a medicinal herb, but a kind of ore, which must be available at Lingkuangfang. Hey, I remember that you and I entered the sect in the same batch, right? Did you buy it for someone else?"
Lin Xingliao was too lazy to chat: "Yes, how many spiritual stones do you have?"
"Eighteen spiritual stones."
Lin Xingliao was about to agree, but he suddenly remembered that when his mother went to the market to buy something, the first thing she said after asking about the price was: "Do you think I don't understand?"
Lin Xingliao followed his mother's example and looked at Senior Brother Li with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant. Even though Lin Xingliao didn't know the price, he still wanted to give it a try.
Senior Brother Li felt a little guilty: "I have to make some money, right? Which workshop are you in now?"
Lin Xingliao smiled. He didn't say anything. He just pointed his finger on the back of Senior Brother Li's hand. He was telling Senior Brother Li that he was the Fire Spirit Root.
The fire spirit root is either in the weapon refining workshop or the alchemy workshop.
Senior Brother Li was a little ashamed, but he still said: "Sixteen spiritual stones, you know you should have told me earlier. How many do you want?"
"One hundred copies."
"Ah? How much?"
"One hundred copies."
Senior Brother Li was a little displeased. He stopped loading the herbs, put the things down hard, then put one hand on his hips and pointed at Lin Xingliao's nose with one hand and shouted loudly: "You are making fun of me, right?" ? You want a hundred copies of medicinal herbs? An alchemy room only needs to hand in fifty pills every month. Even if there is a 60% failure rate, eighty copies are enough. If you want to use it, you will need a hundred copies of medicinal herbs! You have Money, you? Even if you have money, do you think anyone here has a hundred copies of the herbs for the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
Senior Brother Li said that he was so impressed that he actually stood on the chair and shouted loudly to everyone around him: "Which of you has a hundred copies of the herbs for the Foundation Establishment Pill? Someone here wants to buy it! Hey! Which of you has one hundred copies of the Foundation Establishment Pill? Herbs!”
When the people around him heard this, they didn't take it as a lie. Senior Brother Li was new here. He had never seen the world and naturally didn't believe that someone would want so many medicinal herbs.
Of course those old disciples know what's going on. It's very simple. Young Master Youkuo wants to learn alchemy!
So, people from the elixir shop began to collect medicinal herbs in groups of three or five. Indeed, one person may not have a hundred copies, but several people combined would still have some.
As a result, the person who gathered the herbs immediately came to Lin Xingliao and shouted.
"Senior brother, I have a hundred copies here, and I also have Rehmannia glutinosa. One share of seventeen spiritual stones."
"Oh, go ahead. His one is too bad. It's cheap but not good! I have twenty spiritual stones for one piece. You get what you pay for. If there are any insects, I will refund you in full. This place has been sold for decades..."
"Senior brother, I have sixteen spirit stones here for one share. I don't make any money from you. Let's make friends. If you need them in the future, I will be on call and deliver them directly to your door."
…
At this time, Senior Brother Li was stunned. He didn't know what to do for a moment... However, this experience did teach him a hard lesson.
"Stop it! Stop it all!" Lin Xingliao suddenly shouted, "I will charge you one portion of seventeen spirit stones, and everyone will pay the same price. Can any of you count how many copies are there right now? ! I want them all!”
Lin Xingliao asked for a hundred copies because he was afraid that there were not enough medicinal materials here. Now that you have it all, why bother?
"Two thousand two hundred and thirty-one!"
A female nun shouted.
Lin Xingliao took the storage bags one by one, counted them, and after confirming that they were correct, he took out four pieces of spiritual jade.
Lin Xingliao said: "Just ask me for another two thousand spirit stones. The extra few dollars will be considered as your hard work."
Then the group of disciples from the Spiritual Medicine Shop worked together here and there, and it took them enough time to put together a stick of incense, but they finally came up with two thousand spiritual stones to give to Lin Xingliao.
Lin Xingliao is quite rich, and he still has more than ten pieces of spiritual jade in his pocket. But to practice a single elixir, only four pieces of spiritual jade were used. This alchemist is really not easy to be a master.
Lin Xingliao didn't care about those people. He just wanted to rush into the alchemy room and practice the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Foundation Building Pill is a very common pill in the world of immortal cultivation, but it is also in short supply.
Taking the Foundation Establishment Pill is just a chance to make a breakthrough. It is a stepping stone. Only by taking the Foundation Establishment Pill can one begin to understand the rules of the world. There is no additional effect after taking the Foundation Establishment Pill. Unless it is a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, this is why an ordinary Foundation Establishment Pill can only be sold for one piece of spiritual jade, but the top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill starts with ten pieces of spiritual jade.
And a monk can try to build the foundation countless times, even if he eats the foundation building pill and is always in a state of breakthrough.
Every time you understand the rules of heaven and earth, you will always gain something. Therefore, if you take the Foundation Establishment Pill a few more times and try the Foundation Establishment Pill a few more times, maybe it will work?
However, the Foundation Establishment Pill is extremely difficult to refine. Even those cultivators who are already considered alchemy masters have trouble refining it. If it is easy to refine, how can it be in short supply on the market and with no market price?
Otherwise, when the disciples of the elixir shop heard that Lin Xingliao wanted to buy a hundred or even a thousand foundation-building pills, no one thought Lin Xingliao was joking or unreasonable.
The success rate of general elixirs is not that low, so the difference between the price of elixirs and the price of medicinal materials is not that obvious.
The only exception is this damn Foundation Establishment Pill.
Lin Xingliao returned to the alchemy room, but he suddenly thought that if he practiced hard alone, wouldn't he have to occupy the alchemy room for a long time?
So, he found the drunk Jiang Minghao in the alchemy room: "Senior brother! Senior brother!"
Jiang Minghao was awakened: "What's wrong? Tell me."
"Besides various alchemy rooms, where else can I make alchemy?"
"Go out and turn right. Rent a room in the public alchemy room. Do you have any spiritual stones? How about I give you some?"
"No, thank you, senior brother."
"Oh, okay, I'll go back to sleep."
This Jiang Minghao is a good person, Lin Xingliao can feel it.
——
The public alchemy room is provided for disciples outside the alchemy workshop, and the price is clearly marked. One alchemy room costs ten spiritual stones per day.
Lin Xingliao took out three hundred spirit stones from the storage bag and put them on the counter: "Thirty days."
The steward nodded: "It's the first one on the right when you go out."
Lin Xingliao thanked him and opened the door and entered. This place is exactly the same as the alchemy room, except there is no spiritual carbon or alchemy furnace...
Lin Xingliao ran to the steward again, clasped his fists and saluted, "Senior brother, are there any alchemy furnaces for sale? I also need a lot of spiritual carbon."
The manager smiled and put a piece of candy in his mouth: "Recruit eggs?"
After saying that, he took out a "Collection of First-Order Pills", two storage bags, and an unopened pill furnace: "Sell it to you in a package, two hundred spirit stones, which is a bit expensive, but I This is the price here, whether you like it or not.”
Lin Xingliao didn't care and nodded.
After some tinkering, Lin Xingliao was finally able to start learning alchemy. He has a fire spiritual root. In the future, if he wants to earn spiritual stones and obtain training resources, he must either refine weapons, refine alchemy, or go mining. There are only three ways to go. Is it possible to kill people and seize treasures every day?
Lin Xingliao is not that kind of person.
He directly took out the medicinal materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill, controlled the flame and started refining it.
He started refining according to the method in the "Collection of First-Order Pills", but suddenly there was a sound: "Bang!"
The furnace exploded!
This explosion shocked the entire public alchemy room.
Lin Xingliao's face also became ugly. He immediately ran to the alchemy furnace and stretched out his hand to open the alchemy furnace. But at this moment, there was another explosion, and the alchemy furnace exploded completely. Lin Xingliao felt a powerful impact coming towards him, and his body flew backwards involuntarily, falling heavily to the ground.
The door was opened by the manager: "Oh no, buddy. You really don't understand anything? You set up a restriction first! How about setting up a formation to isolate it. Seeing how happy you are, I'll give you another pill furnace. Don't It exploded again! Remember to heat the stove!"
Lin Xingliao nodded hurriedly. Lin Xingliao understood that he had acted too hastily.
He began to recall the two complete alchemy exercises he had observed. First, he had to set up a formation, firstly to isolate outside interference, and secondly so that if the furnace exploded it would not affect other people.
Lin Xingliao waved his hand, and the female cultivator's formation enveloped the alchemy room. Lin Xingliao did not dare to use the formation Su Jiumu gave him because he had not tried it yet.
After that, it’s time to heat the furnace. Whether it’s Senior Brother Fat or Elder Wu Chen, they both heat the furnace over a slow fire before making alchemy, so that the furnace can adapt to the high temperature environment first, otherwise it will easily explode.
When Lin Xingliao thought of this, he was not in a hurry to start. He first recalled the methods of Fat Senior Brother and Elder Wu.
He sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and recalled the scene when Fat Senior Brother and Elder Wu were refining alchemy. Fat Senior Brother's method is simple and crude. He stirs it up quickly, stimulating the power of the medicinal herbs and putting them aside.
Elder Wu, on the other hand, was unhurried. He always kept the stove on a slow fire first, and added some spiritual carbon into it from time to time, as if "I'll grind with you slowly, don't be in a hurry." But in general, the first thing they did after putting the herbs into the alchemy furnace was to refine and activate the medicinal power of the herbs.
The key is the medicinal power, and the medicinal herbs from which the medicinal power is extracted seem to be just the carrier of the medicinal power of the elixir.
Lin Xingliao took a deep breath, and he remembered that no matter what their styles were, Elder Wu and Fatty Brother always had no distracting thoughts when refining alchemy.
So I sank my mind into the spiritual sea, feeling the warm current coming from my Dantian, and at the same time, I also felt the power of the herbs in the furnace.
Lin Xingliao extracted the medicinal power according to what was said in the book, and then dissolved a certain type of Rehmannia glutinosa into residue and used it as a carrier to carry the medicinal power.
He failed to take over Lin Xingliao. The first pill was not even seen by the scumbag.
Lin Xingliao is not in a hurry. Failure is the norm. He knows that he is a novice, so he seeks stability and only seeks for success, not quality.
Then, the second one, the third one...
Failure doesn't matter, Lin Xingliao can find some experience in failure every time.
Lin Xingliao didn't know how long it had been, or how many times he had practiced. He only knew that he would absorb the spirit stones when he ran out of energy.
If you fail, try again.
The mountains of waste elixirs and medicine residues around Lin Xingliao were proof of his efforts.
When he was a child, Lin Xingliao's mother asked him to practice calligraphy. That day, he finally wrote a beautiful calligraphy. When he picked up the piece of paper, Lin Xingliao noticed that the scraps under the paper were very thick. And that beautiful calligraphy was made out of those waste papers!
There are no shortcuts in technical matters. Even a genius needs practice. Lin Xingliao is not a genius, so he has the awareness to take a few steps!
On the 20th, Lin Xingliao opened the landmark potion of elixir!
I saw the spiritual energy dancing on the spiritual carbon, dancing in the furnace, and dancing among the herbs.
I saw the spiritual energy dancing on the spiritual carbon. In an instant, the spiritual carbon began to burn, and the temperature in the furnace gradually increased. Lin Xingliao controlled the flame and carefully put the medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace. In an instant, the medicinal herbs quickly softened under the high temperature and released a rich medicinal fragrance.
As the medicinal herbs softened, Lin Xingliao gradually increased the flame and began to extract the medicinal power. He silently recited the formula in the "Collection of First-Order Pills" in his heart, and followed every step as described in the book, without daring to be careless in the slightest.
At this time, the entire public alchemy room was filled with the fragrance of medicine, and small beads of sweat appeared on Lin Xingliao's forehead. He was nervous and excited, knowing that he had finally taken the first step in making alchemy.
As the power of the medicine was refined, Lin Xingliao gradually focused his attention on the alchemy furnace. He seemed to be integrated with the alchemy furnace, feeling every change in the alchemy furnace.
Lin Xingliao opened his eyes and smiled: "Dan Cheng."
The alchemy furnace was slowly opened, and a refreshing fragrance came out.
Lin Xingliao's face showed the joy of success, and he finally refined the first successful elixir. He gently picked up the elixir and observed it carefully.
This elixir is small and exquisite, round and cute, and exudes a light fragrance, but there are some impurities in it, making it a low-grade elixir.
Lin Xingliao secretly sighed in his heart. Although this elixir was not as good as those high-quality elixirs, it was refined by him carefully and was his first step towards success.
Lin Xingliao's heart was filled with a sense of pride and accomplishment. This was a big step from zero to one.
In the next few days, Lin Xingliao frequently produced elixirs. It was because of his feeling and understanding. Under normal circumstances, more than two thousand herbal medicines would only make five or six furnaces, but he just produced eleven furnaces!
Moreover, the eleventh furnace elixir was actually a middle-grade one! This is a very useful elixir.
Maybe no matter how mysterious other people's alchemy is, or how vast other people's alchemy is, it has nothing to do with Lin Xingliao. Lin Xingliao's alchemy is all about stability and practice!
Lin Xingliao knew that his rate of elixir formation was getting higher and higher. The first one thousand furnaces only turned into one furnace, but the last one hundred furnaces turned into four furnaces, and the last ten furnaces actually turned into two furnaces!
In other words, if Lin Xingliao practices for another month, he may still have room for improvement!
Lin Xingliao didn't know that he was already very powerful now, because he didn't know that it was difficult to make a foundation-building pill.
As for how powerful he is? Who knows?
On the twenty-ninth day, Lin Xingliao had used up all the medicinal materials, but the alchemy room had been rented for thirty days. Isn’t there still one day left? Lin Xingliao thought of simply taking a rest and getting some sleep, but right now When he wanted to sleep, he remembered the nightmare he had before.
Shaking his head, Lin Xingliao decided not to sleep.
So, Lin Xingliao began to meditate and practice. But this time, he felt something different. The spiritual energy that was originally mist in his body was now like clouds. The blue color was extremely beautiful. .
He found that breathing became more enjoyable.
I don't know how long it took, but Lin Xingliao exhaled a breath and opened his eyes.
He stood up slowly, feeling the spiritual energy flowing through his body. He clenched his fists and felt that his strength seemed stronger than before, and the spiritual energy in his body was also more intense.
Lin Xingliao had even forgotten about breaking through the realm...
Is this a natural outcome?
He smiled slightly, his heart full of confidence and expectation.
He knew that his path of cultivation had just begun, and even if he made a breakthrough, he could not be arrogant, because there were many people in the world who were stronger than him.
Lin Xingliao walked out of the room and went to the counter to find the person in charge. He probably owed some rent, because Lin Xingliao clearly felt that this breathing practice had lasted more than one day.
Lin Xingliao cupped his fists and saluted: "Senior brother, may I ask how many spiritual stones I am missing?"
"Three thousand two hundred and twenty yuan, oh no, let me see, uh, three thousand two hundred and thirty yuan. Here are six thousand seven hundred and seventy spiritual stones. Keep them and look for your money. "
"Looking for my money?"
"Junior sister Su Jiuyue paid it in advance for you."
"Wait, I was in seclusion for a year?"
"You're pretty quick. Those rooms haven't come out for two or three years. Damn it, they all came here to make breakthroughs just because they saw the public alchemy room was so cheap. Hey, you said you, the consort of the Baiyun Sect, can't It’s not too much money.”
Lin Xingliao frowned: "Prince-in-law of Baiyun Sect?"
"Oh no, you and Su Jiuyue held hands in front of so many people in the Central Square a year ago, and you looked like so many people were blind."
At this moment, a sweet voice behind Lin Xingliao shouted: "Brother Lin, congratulations."
Lin Xingliao looked back and saw that the person coming was of course Su Jiuyue, who rushed directly into Lin Xingliao's arms.
Fat senior brother was also there: "Hey, he's out. Let's go, something good is happening."
Su Jiuyue also smiled: "Let's go, my master is looking for you."
