After counting the materials, there were still twenty-six bells of red. The other materials were enough. He didn't know how many more he could make. There were only nine days left.
Another round of crazy alchemy, the eleventh time, failure, the twelfth time, failure, the thirteenth time, success. The sixteenth time, two pills were produced, and the nineteenth time, two pills were produced.
In the meantime, when his energy was exhausted, he took the semi-finished elixir he had prepared, and his spiritual energy was restored to 70%, which was similar to a first-grade spiritual stone, but the recovery speed was more than ten times faster!
Then he continued to refine it. On the twenty-third time, his Yuan Power was exhausted again. He took a finished Huang Yan Dan. The elixir melted in his mouth. After ten breaths, his Yuan Power was completely restored! It seems that the efficacy of the elixir is still remaining, which is definitely better than the healing elixir! As for how much better, he doesn't know yet.
He had exhausted his energy many times and was extremely exhausted physically and mentally, but he suddenly felt that his cultivation level had increased a lot compared to before, which was a big surprise.
Finally, after taking another Huang Yandan, there was a loud bang in his body, and he unexpectedly entered the fifth level of Kaiyuan!
Besides being shocked, it’s still shocking!
In the past three years, it took almost a year to break through to the first level, and it became more difficult to break through later. Thinking that after taking Huang Yandan, his cultivation level increased in just a few days, could it be that this is a fairy medicine?
Putting aside his excitement, he lowered his head and thought quietly: "In addition to the medicinal power of the elixir itself, the energy used to refine the elixir is not less than that of hunting monsters, or even more, and it is supplemented by spiritual elixirs. , after several times, it is no different from long-term experience, it is not surprising that the cultivation level has increased."
Thirty-six bell red pills were used up, and his elixir bottle contained fifteen Huang Yandan pills. Together with the three pills he had taken, there were eighteen pills in total, with an average of two pills per pill. This was his hard work over the past eleven days.
"Two plants make one, not counting other materials, which is less than half a first-grade spiritual stone. Including the rent, counting twenty spiritual stones, the total cost is twenty-six or seven spiritual stones, an average of less than two yuan. , This doesn’t count the energy consumed by myself.”
If he sells two spiritual stones for one, there is no profit. This is far different from what he thought in the cave.
At present, the success rate of elixir refining is about 30% to 40%, which is based on the chance of making two elixirs at one time.
However, what he didn't know was that as a novice, this success rate was already extremely high. The cost of materials is not much, but the bulk is the rental fee of the quiet room. There are still four days left. Let’s change some materials and see how many can be refined.
For the first time in eleven days, he walked out of the quiet room.
Zhou Yang walked out along the street he came from. He had never been here before, so he could only pass by the shop again. It was mid-afternoon, and the fat boy was dozing off in the shop and didn't notice him.
Zhou Yang came all the way to the store area, because today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year and Free Square Market is closed.
He chose a larger shop with a three-story pavilion and gray bricks and blue tiles, giving it a quiet and elegant feel. The name of this store is Jubaozhai. He has heard of it before, but he has never been there.
Walking into the shop, it is the size of three rooms. There are many items listed in various counters, including magical instruments, materials, elixirs, etc. At this time, there were several customers in the store selecting items.
A waiter greeted him with a smile and said, "Guests, please come in. Whatever you need, I will show you the way."
"Does your store have a healing elixir? How many spiritual stones are there?"
"Yes, two first-grade spiritual stones and one. How many do you want?"
"Oh, don't worry, take a look at this first!" With that said, Zhou Yang took out a Huang Yan Dan and handed it to the clerk.
The clerk held Huang Yandan between his two fingers and watched carefully.
"Sorry for my poor eyesight, what kind of elixir is this?" The waiter looked at it and shook his head.
"I don't know the name of this elixir. Its effect is similar to that of the Rejuvenation Pill. You can try it."
"This..." I recognized it as a treasure, but I didn't recognize it as grass. The boy's eyesight was poor and he was still hesitating.
Zhou Yang saw that the man was in trouble, so he took the elixir and drank it without saying anything.
"Are you relieved now?" Zhou Yang took out another one and handed it to the clerk.
"May I ask where this elixir comes from? Did you refine it?" The clerk relaxed his brows slightly and stretched out his hands to take the elixir.
"No, I accidentally obtained these elixirs through my experience outside. After taking them, I can restore my vitality. But I don't know the name of the elixirs, so I came to your store to ask." Zhou Yang said.
"That's right, please wait a moment." After the waiter finished speaking, he held the elixir and walked towards an Eight Immortals table inside. There was a middle-aged man sitting there, wearing a gray robe, closing his eyes and concentrating.
The waiter bowed and said a few words to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man took the elixir and looked at it for a while, without saying anything, and walked straight out of the store.
"Please take a seat first, wait a moment, the steward will take it for appraisal." The waiter came back to offer Zhou Yang his seat and poured a cup of green tea.
"good."
After about a cup of tea, the middle-aged man came out of the inner room, hugged Zhou Yang and said, "This little brother, how about we talk inside."
"Of course." Zhou Yang stood up and nodded slightly.
"Brother, please come inside!" After saying that, the middle-aged man walked towards the inner room first.
Zhou Yang followed and looked at the middle-aged man carefully. Judging from the breath, this person's cultivation level should not be lower than the Lingtai level, and he is not in the early stage of the Lingtai level. He Dongcang, an inner disciple of Ziyuan Sect, is at the third level of Lingtai, but he is far less oppressive than this senior executive.
After sitting down, the middle-aged man said: "My surname is Gao. I am the manager of this store. I wonder what your surname is?"
"It's free of charge, Zhou."
"It turns out to be Brother Zhou. I don't know the name of this elixir, but it's very effective. It's nearly 60% more effective than the Huiling Pill. I must know this." The senior executive looked at Zhou Yang and said.
"This pill is indeed more effective than the Huiling Pill." Zhou Yang said calmly and nodded.
Seeing that Zhou Yang did not tell anything else, the senior executive looked back and said, "Brother Zhou didn't get this elixir in Tu Yan City, right?"
"no."
"Then I wonder what Brother Zhou's purpose is when he comes to our store to show this elixir?"
"I have obtained a lot of this elixir. I brought it to your store with the intention of selling it."
"I wonder what price Brother Zhou sold it for?" the senior executive nodded and asked.
"Two first-grade spiritual stones." Zhou Yang said.
"Yes, it's a fair price. But it's so rare that ordinary customers won't know it, so it's a bit troublesome to sell it." The senior executive frowned.
"This shouldn't be a problem. Guizhai is a century-old store and there must be many regular customers. Just give it a try. I think there is no problem in selling three first-grade spiritual stones."
Zhou Yang knew that the other party was going to lower the price, so he got a little angry.
The senior executive looked at Zhou Yang, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Okay, I'll just give you two yuan for a first-grade spiritual stone, and I'll buy it from my shop!"
"Haha, the executive is so happy, it's a deal." Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"Okay. I wonder how many of them you have, brother?" the senior executive asked with a smile on his face.
"I didn't bring much with me today, I just wanted to ask about the name of the elixir. There are twelve here for the time being. I can come back in a few days." After that, Zhou Yang took out twelve Huang Yandan and handed them to the senior executive.
"Okay, here are twenty-four pieces of first-grade spiritual stones. Keep them, little brother." The senior executive took the spiritual stones readily and handed them to Zhou Yang.
"By the way, Brother Zhou, this elixir needs a name before it can be sold to the outside world. Should I name it, or should the store do it for me?" The senior executive accepted the spirit stone and asked again.
"As for the name of the elixir, I really didn't think about it before. However, this elixir is golden in color and its effect is comparable to that of Hui Ling Dan. In that case, how about calling it Huang Ling Dan?" Zhou Yang thought for a moment and his eyes lit up.
After a pause, the senior executive put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, what a good elixir name, let's call it Huang Ling Dan!"
"Then, executive officer, we'll see you later. I'll take my leave now." Zhou Yang stood up and said.
"Okay, it's settled then. I'll see Brother Zhou off!" the senior executive said politely.
After exiting Jubao Pavilion happily, Zhou Yang walked to another street, preparing to change to another store to buy Lingdang Hong.
Although he is not old, he has a lot of experience, and he has naturally learned to be cautious in doing things.
In another shop, Zhou Yang spent 20 spiritual stones to buy a hundred red bells. He also bought some food, elixir bottles and other items elsewhere, and then walked to the quiet room.
Before he arrived at the store where he rented a house, he saw a figure from behind, which seemed familiar, but disappeared in a flash.
He scratched his head and couldn't remember it for a moment. He didn't pay attention and continued to move forward.
Passing by the shop, the fat boy was greeting business. When he saw him coming, he looked at him strangely. Zhou Yang didn't stop, nodded to the fat guy, and walked straight to the backyard.
The fat guy whispered: "I've never seen him go out before!"
When he arrived at the dense fog area, Zhou Yang didn't take out the token and wanted to go in directly to try. However, before he could pass through the thick fog, he saw a mountain peak standing directly in his way.
This is a fantasy array!
Zhou Yang was not a young person, so he knew that this was a formation and he couldn't break through forcefully, so he showed his token and looked forward. The mountain peak disappeared, and several pavilions appeared, which were the same as before.
After entering the quiet room, Zhou Yang immediately started refining the elixir. He had taken Huang Yandan in Jubaozhai before, which should be called Huang Lingdan now. His Yuan Power reached its peak, so there was no delay.
With experience, Zhou Yang became more proficient in the art of alchemy and his success rate also improved. He tried doubling the amount of ingredients to save time. Now that the ingredients were sufficient, he became bolder. Because the alchemy furnace is small, only twice the amount of ingredients can be added at a time.
The first time it failed, the second time it failed, the third time two coins came out, the fifth time two coins came out, the eighth time three coins came out, and the thirteenth time finally four coins came out.
In two days and nights, the success rate of alchemy reached nearly 60%!
After another half day, all the ingredients were used up. Except for the four pills taken during the period, there were already fifty-five Huangling Pills in the two pill bottles!
"Not bad, not bad!" Zhou Yang felt happy. Fifty-five Huangling Pills and one hundred and ten Spiritual Stones made him rich, really made him rich!
