She Qingqing's skill in weapon refining was stuck at the third-level high-grade level. The reason was that Qi-training monks were unable to refine fourth-level elixirs and needed the assistance of foundation-building true fire.
The foundation-building true fire can only be possessed by foundation-building monks.
According to She Qingqing's original strength during the Qi training period, it was obvious that he could not refine the fourth-level elixir without the foundation-building true fire.
This is also the biggest reason why She Qingqing wants to build a foundation. His lack of strength cannot affect his in-depth study of alchemy.
In the medicine garden, She Qingqing, standing tall and graceful in green clothes and blue shoes, was teaching Master Li the knowledge of alchemy.
Lu Ping first looked at the medicine garden for a while and found that there were more elixirs and plants in the medicine garden, such as golden bud flowers and Jiuqu Ganoderma recently, and their output was increasing.
In particular, the Ling Peach Tree has not only grown from three to sixteen.
Moreover, the three spiritual peach trees that had been planted for many years have now been promoted to the second-level high-grade level.
Thinking back to those days, the three spiritual peach trees that Lu Ping exchanged from the system mall were all at the first-level high-grade level.
These three spiritual peach trees, at that time, brought a very considerable amount of spiritual stone income to the Qingshan Sect, which was experiencing economic deficit, and helped the Qingshan Sect overcome difficulties together.
She Qingqing is also very careful in taking care of these three spiritual peach trees. Every day, he will pay attention to whether there are any insect pests on the spiritual trees, how many new buds have sprouted, and how much bigger the spiritual peaches are than the day before.
This spiritual peach tree can be said to be She Qingqing's treasure. She has never taken care of herself so seriously.
The current level of the Spirit Peach Tree has been promoted from the first-level high-level to the second-level high-level, which is enough to show how much effort and thought She Qingqing has put into.
In terms of contribution to the sect, She Qingqing is at the forefront and can definitely be regarded as a hero of the Qingshan Sect.
Lu Ping has also seen her contribution to the sect over the years, appreciates it very much, and admires this little girl She Qingqing.
The sect's alchemist started from scratch and developed to the current fourth level of low-grade alchemy. He became the first alchemist of Qingshan Sect. He guided Li Weixiao and Master Li to learn the art of alchemy and was able to train alchemists for Qingshan Sect.
Among them, two of She Qingqing's disciples, Li Weixiao, have reached the first level of high-grade alchemy.
As for Master Li, she has now reached the threshold of a first-level alchemist and will try to make alchemy in the near future.
She Qingqing is now teaching her the knowledge of refining the first-level Qi Lianqing Powder.
This little girl listened very carefully, nodding from time to time like a chicken pecking at rice. Occasionally she would ask if there was something she didn't understand. Her learning attitude was worthy of praise.
Lu Ping watched for a while and noticed that She Qingqing's cultivation had reached the first level of foundation building, and he quickly established a sound transmission.
"Qingqing."
Hearing the voice in his head and recognizing it as Lu Ping, She Qingqing immediately straightened up and responded respectfully.
"Ancestor."
"Um."
Lu Ping responded and briefly asked about She Qingqing's recent improvement in alchemy, some matters about the medicine garden, etc.
After the two communicated for a while, Lu Ping revealed the purpose of coming this time and wanted She Qingqing to try to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill in the near future.
Qingshan Sect has collected the medicinal materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill over the years.
For example, chalcedony golden branch, golden lotus, purple monkey flower, and heavenly spirit fruit, these four main medicinal materials for foundation-building elixirs have been collected, and according to She Qingqing's alchemy skills, they can indeed be refined.
Qingshan Sect should have produced its own foundation-building pills long ago to build the ability to cultivate foundation-building monks.
"Refining the Foundation Building Pill..."
After learning Lu Ping's thoughts, She Qingqing's expression straightened and she muttered something.
"Ancestor, I also want to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill."
"Recently, my alchemy skills have reached the fourth level of low-grade, and I have met the conditions for refining the foundation-building pill. I can really try to refine it."
Speaking of this, She Qingqing hesitated to speak.
Noticing She Qingqing's expression, Lu Ping asked, "Do you have concerns?"
She Qingqing nodded slightly, without hesitation this time, and said seriously: "The fourth-level low-grade alchemy technique can refine foundation-building pills, but this is my first time to refine it. I don't know how difficult it is. I can only Follow the foundation-building elixir formula to explore and understand on your own."
"So, the first few times I tried refining it, it might have been a bit expensive..."
It turns out that the little girl was worried about this.
Lu Ping smiled, with a hint of gentleness in his tone, and said: "You don't have to worry about the medicinal materials, just take care of them until you successfully refine the Foundation Establishment Pill."
"The sect has never been stingy in cultivating you. If you lack medicinal materials or need any resources, tell Yuan Shan directly and I will explain it clearly to him."
"Well, if that's the case, that's okay..."
Knowing that the Qingshan Sect valued him very much and was willing to spend a lot of resources to train him, She Qingqing felt warm in his heart.
After all, just like training an alchemist, training an alchemist is extremely resource-consuming and also consumes spiritual stones.
Ordinary small families and small sects do not have the resources to cultivate talents in this field.
This is why alchemists and weapon refiners are so popular.
Lu Ping continued: "It is not easy for the sect to obtain medicinal materials such as chalcedony and golden branches. Now that the medicinal materials are available, there is no reason not to refine them."
"Okay, ancestor." She Qingqing listened quietly and agreed with Lu Ping's words in her heart, but when she spoke again, her voice became a little lower.
"This chalcedony golden branch is very valuable. The other three medicinal materials are also valuable. When refining, I try to waste as little as possible."
The reason why the Foundation Establishment Pill is so precious that it can easily cost ten thousand spiritual stones, apart from the elixir itself and the uncirculated Foundation Establishment Pill recipe on the market.
The main reason is that the four main medicinal materials, chalcedony golden branch, golden lotus, purple monkey flower and Tianling fruit, are too scarce and the price is not low. They are often expensive but not available in the market.
Otherwise, the number of foundation-building monks in the world of immortality will increase at least a hundred and a thousand times, and foundation-building will become much easier.
The prescriptions for Foundation Establishment Pills are also monopolized by major cultivating sects and families.
Lu Ping has the ability to establish a sect, so he naturally has the foundation-building elixir recipe in his hands.
After talking with She Qingqing about refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, Lu Ping drifted out of the medicine garden.
At noon that day, She Qingqing followed Lu Ping's instructions and asked Lu Changfeng for instructions to try to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.
After hearing She Qingqing's thoughts, Lu Changfeng showed excitement on his face, laughed and said: "Okay, okay! Are you promoted to the fourth level alchemist now?"
A fourth-level alchemist, this is the most accomplished disciple in alchemy since the establishment of Qingshan Sect.
Lu Changfeng did not expect that She Qingqing's alchemy would advance so quickly.
Thinking back to his first-level attainments as a formation mage, he suddenly felt ashamed.
Lu Changfeng couldn't help but sigh, what a terrible young man!
Qingshan Sect is blessed to have this little girl She Qingqing.
"Hehe, yes, Great Elder, I have now been promoted to the fourth level alchemist."
She Qingqing smiled and nodded: "My ancestors told me before to start refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, so I came to collect the medicinal materials of the Chalcedony Golden Bough, and I hope the Great Elder will give me permission."
"Okay, okay!"
When Lu Changfeng heard this, he said three good words again, and the smile on his face became even stronger.
She Qingqing wanted to try to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. There was nothing to hesitate about, so he naturally agreed.
"In terms of medicinal materials, Qingqing, how much do you want? I'll give them all to you right now!"
