As the saying goes.
Having money may not solve all problems, but it can definitely solve most problems.
Isn't it just money?
For Lu Yuan, who has a net worth of hundreds of thousands, he doesn't care how much money he spends as long as it can enhance his strength.
So he spent a huge amount of money and after collecting the century-old medicinal materials he needed, Lu Yuan started a new round of refining the elixir.
Maybe it's because of the money spent.
Maybe it's because he found the right direction.
In short, this time the medicine refining has just begun, and Lu Yuan has already made good gains.
It was just the first furnace, and the elixirs produced were already effective.
"This new pill is made from eight kinds of medicinal materials including century-old Kunming grass, century-old black lotus, and century-old autumn frost flower. It is indeed a treasure that I spent more than 500 taels of time to carve out. It can actually increase my growth." of spirit.”
Lu Yuan took the first elixir and then concentrated on refining it. After half an hour, the elixir was digested. When he opened his eyes, he was full of surprises: "Although this elixir is not very effective in increasing one's power, it can only increase one elixir for one hour." Kung Fu is what an ordinary person would look like if they practiced Kung Fu for a long time.
But this is my first time refining it. I can continue to improve the formula and weight in the future, and the effectiveness can always be gradually improved. "
Ordinary people can only practice martial arts for two hours a day due to their physical limitations. Therefore, increasing one hour's skill is equivalent to half a day's increase for ordinary people.
Although the elixir now produced with five hundred taels of silver can only enhance one's skill for half a day.
But for Lu Yuan, it was already a gratifying breakthrough.
He was not afraid that refining the elixir would cost money, but he was afraid that the elixir would be ineffective.
It was only more than 500 taels of silver. With Lu Yuan's current financial resources, he could support this kind of consumption of alchemy for more than 200 times. It was not empty at all.
And when you refine an elixir, you don't just get one pill.
Just like the new formula he tried this time, Lu Yuan prepared a total of eight pills.
On average, the income from refining the elixir once can increase one's skill for four days.
In terms of total volume, this has already met the original expectations.
What we have to do now is to rely on quantity to win. Eight pills can increase the skill for four days. Improved to rely on quality, a pill increases one's skill for four days.
"The results are good and the future is promising. The next thing to do is to continue working hard."
Lu Yuan cheered himself up in his heart, and then spent a day taking the newly prepared elixir. With the internal strength that had increased for four days, he started a new round of formula development.
In the "Ten Thousand Prescriptions of Medicine", there are more than 300 kinds of medicinal materials that can replenish the essence, energy and spirit.
Now he has only tried eight things, and there are more options to choose from.
He didn't believe it anymore, and he kept trying everything, but he couldn't come up with the most perfect prescription.
…
Time passes slowly like this.
Lu Yuan stayed in the military camp and was busy refining elixirs.
Occasionally, he would take time out to give lectures to his few registered disciples and inspect the training of soldiers.
He still has quite a professional ethics.
Now that I have become a county captain and received this salary, I can still do some of the work that I should do, and I will not completely give up.
….
However, with those few cheap disciples around, Lu Yuan, the master, was not required to come forward to inspect bandits and patrol public security in the county.
The five disciples under him will naturally work on their behalf and solve the problem in advance.
Without being bothered by official duties, Lu Yuan naturally had more time to spend on alchemy.
With all my heart and soul, it was July of the second year of Hongdao in a blink of an eye.
After spending more than 50,000 taels of silver and trying hundreds of times to prepare the medicine, Lu Yuan finally succeeded in determining the final formula of his elixir this month, taking into account the difficulty of obtaining the medicinal materials, the combination of medicinal properties, and the strength of the medicine.
Based on seventeen kinds of medicinal materials that are centuries old, and supplemented by dozens of common medicines, the formula of the magical elixir named [Ling Bu Ling Dan] has been finalized.
This recipe costs a thousand taels of silver per furnace, and can roughly produce ten elixirs. Each elixir can increase one's power for five days.
In other words, one thousand taels of silver can help Lu Yuan save fifty days of training time.
An average of twenty taels of silver a day.
Well, this is definitely a krypton gold practice.
If you are not a real rich person, you simply cannot afford this extravagant practice mode.
If Lu Yuan hadn't looted a county's wealth, he wouldn't have dared to play so big.
But even so, with his remaining 90,000 yuan in savings, it was only enough to open the furnace ninety times.
Calculating, it can only increase the skill by 4,500 days, which is about twelve years.
"Ninety thousand taels of silver add twelve years of skill. If converted to my cultivation speed, it is only equivalent to three or four years of skill. But it is enough."
At Lu Yuan's cultivation speed, three or four years would be enough to complete the seventh and eighth levels of the Qi-Buffing Heart Meridian, leaving only three meridians.
That is to say.
If everything goes well, and as long as there are enough medicinal materials to start making elixirs, by the end of this year, he will be able to complete the Qi-Building Heart Meridian and open up the sixteen meridians.
Those who can cultivate sixteen meridians are among the first-class masters and have deep internal strength.
In the Jianghu, even those disciples of the big sects, with the help of various elixirs, would have to be fifty or sixty years old to achieve this achievement.
Now that Lu Yuan can achieve this goal at the age of twenty-eight, it is already shocking.
However, Lu Yuan was not very proud of the fact that he was about to achieve this achievement. Instead, he remained as steady as ever, just retreating to his home to practice alchemy.
And his few disciples were also sent out to help him purchase medicinal materials from all over the world.
Medicinal materials that are hundreds of years old are not easy to find.
Many of them are the treasures of some pharmacies and are generally not easily sold.
It is impossible to purchase these without spending some time and money.
In order to fulfill the master's instructions, and also for the reward of the second level of Liuyun Palm, those disciples have spent all their efforts and brains on this.
But even so, it would be difficult to purchase ninety portions of medicinal materials this year.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan had a calm mind and was not too impatient about this.
The recipe for the [Spirit Replenishing Pill] has been prepared, and the duck is already in your mouth. Even if it takes two more chews to swallow, it doesn't matter much.
Just chew slowly to aid digestion.
If you can’t finish practicing the Qi-Building Heart Sutra this year, then you can’t finish it.
He had plenty of time and was in no hurry.
Just as things were going smoothly for Lu Yuan, his friend Sun Siwen also ushered in a new turning point in his life.
After spending almost a year in the post of prefect, Liang Xiwen, the prefect of Liang, finally got through the relationship within the court and was summoned back to the court.
The new magistrate who appointed him was just a Beijing official released from the court and abroad, Cui Changqing, the former minister of the Ministry of Rites. According to legend, this person was demoted because he offended the current Emperor Hongdao by speaking out and daring to remonstrate.
However, regardless of whether he was demoted or not, the new boss has arrived. As a subordinate officer, Sun Siwen must go and meet him.
So on July 24th, Magistrate Sun went to Shaoyang Fucheng.
