There are three alchemy rooms, the one in the middle is the largest.
The various facilities inside are also the most complete.
Just because, in this alchemy room, there is the most precious thing in the alchemy hall besides Luo Chen.
Xuanyun Cauldron, first-level mid-grade.
It is said that the price is also the most expensive among middle-grade magic weapons, and is more expensive than some useless middle-grade defensive magic weapons.
At this moment, there are no outsiders in the Great Alchemy Room.
Even grains of rice were kept out.
Luo Chen lit the fire and started the furnace by himself, and then poured each piece of medicinal materials that Mi Shuhua had prepared into the alchemy cauldron.
Common ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum are essential auxiliary materials.
Even the Qi Nourishing Pill has this kind of auxiliary materials, after all, it can provide the monks with the most basic vitality.
In addition, there are some relatively valuable auxiliary materials such as blue mandarin grass and snow orchid. They can play a very good auxiliary role to the main material, or stimulate the medicinal power of the main material, or inhibit some unnecessary medicinal properties.
After these auxiliary materials were put into the cauldron, Luo Chen stared at the alchemy cauldron with burning eyes.
The spiritual eye technique has already blessed both eyes.
Nowadays, his spiritual eye skills are only one step away from being a master.
When used, his eyesight is so good that he can see through the realm of a ninth-level Qi refining monk at a glance.
It is impossible for ordinary Qi refining monks to spend too much effort on this kind of magic, and their attainments cannot be compared with Luo Chen.
Occasionally, Luo Chen would wonder if he could see through the disguise of the foundation-building monks if his spiritual eye skills advanced to the master level?
"The medicinal power of the auxiliary materials has basically been released."
“It’s time to lay down the main ingredients!”
Luo Chen took down a bamboo box from the shelf nearby.
Opening the bamboo box, a palm-sized cold jade shines brightly.
Huan jade, a first-class spiritual jade, is abundant in rivers, lakes and seas, and is also produced in some places where the evil spirit is relatively strong.
This jade has many functions. It can be used to make jade boxes to seal some elixirs, and it can also be used to make water-attribute jade slips.
The chalcedony inside can also be used to refine the body.
It is said that this kind of jade is also very popular in the mortal world. It is either used as the core building material of ice cellars or used in large quantities to cast mausoleums.
The price is a bit high.
A piece of Huan jade as big as a palm requires a piece of spiritual stone.
Take it out and you can buy ten kilograms of spiritual rice directly.
The main material of the chalcedony pill is obviously the chalcedony in Huan jade.
It also directly accounts for one-fifth of the cost of a furnace.
According to Luo Chen's estimate, the raw material cost of a batch of chalcedony pills is about five spiritual stones.
Not expensive, not cheap either.
The cost is about the same as Zhongmiaowan.
In fact, the cost of Zhongmiao Pills shouldn't be that high. The main reason is that the main ingredient is produced in the outer region of Beihai, which results in an inflated cost.
The current cost of the chalcedony pill is here. The number of pills in one furnace is not clear to Luo Chen.
But as long as it is higher than Zhongmiaowan, you will definitely make money!
After all, one is an aphrodisiac and the other is a pill that helps with spiritual practice.
The two markets cannot be compared.
With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Luo Chen did not dare to relax his hands at all.
Huanyu was suspended in the sky above the alchemy cauldron, and Luo Chen's spiritual power continued to be output.
The spiritual power released is not large, only one-tenth of the fireball technique.
However, this power must be maintained particularly well and very stably.
If it lasts for a long time, you may even feel tired.
Moreover, after the spiritual power is output, it must be manipulated and squeezed according to a special technique.
This technique Luo Chen learned from "Qing Yuan Dan Jie" is called Jade Breaking Hand, which is specially used to process jade materials.
Under the jade-breaking technique, cracks appeared in the jade shell of Huanyu.
Then, drops of crystal juice oozed out like bone marrow.
This is chalcedony!
It was originally supposed to be solid, but during the spiritual kneading, it became semi-solid and semi-liquid.
When these chalcedony enter the alchemy cauldron, they will completely turn into liquid under high temperature.
It took Luo Chen a lot of effort to extract chalcedony.
It took half an hour to complete the work.
"The two most difficult places were completed in one."
"The next step is another difficulty."
The main material is jade, which means that this elixir is not a medicinal elixir, but a mineral elixir!
In the world of immortality, pills are the absolute mainstream.
There are many types of elixirs.
The specific classification is based on different main materials and functions.
If herbal medicine is the main ingredient, it is a medicinal elixir.
The main material of the demonic beast inner elixir is the beast elixir.
The main material is mineral elixir, which is also called the elixir of gold and stone.
It is said that there are also soul elixirs that use soul as the main ingredient, Qi elixirs that use "qi" as the main ingredient, and strange elixirs that use the wonders of heaven and earth as the main ingredient.
There are even rumors that powerful people in the way of alchemy can use the void law of the Tao as the main material to refine the Tao elixir!
Swallowing a Dao Pill into my belly, I can expect the Dao. From now on, my destiny is determined by me and not by God.
Luo Chen was not interested in those illusory things.
Now, despite all his efforts, he has only come into contact with medicinal pills and mineral pills.
Today's chalcedony pill is the mineral pill.
When refining mineral pills, you will more or less encounter a problem.
That is how to perfectly integrate it with medicinal materials such as plants and trees while removing impurities from the ore.
If the impurities are not removed enough, the mineral elixir will contain gold and stone poison.
If the fusion is not good enough, the elixir will be unstable and easily mineralized!
As for the results of mineralization?
Soon, Luo Chen saw it.
Not only him, Mi Shuhua and others also saw it.
"Is this the Chalcedony Pill you made?"
Mi Shuhua grabbed a handful of colorful small stone beads, his face full of disbelief.
Luo Chen was a little embarrassed and scratched his head.
"Well, if a man stumbles, so does a horse!"
"Besides, no one can succeed in refining alchemy in the first furnace. Don't blame me. If you ask the alchemy sage from Zhongzhou to come, he won't dare to praise you."
With that said, Luo Chen started shouting.
Be straight and strong!
That's what he said.
The same principle applies.
But the disappointment is still hard to conceal.
Mi Shuhua sighed and threw the handful of colorful stones on the ground.
"I was too anxious."
Luo Chen subconsciously patted his shoulder. After patting him, he was shocked.
When did I disrespect the foundation-building monks so much!
However, seeing that the other party was not displeased, he licked his face and said with a smile: "Hey, failure is the mother of success. If you fail this time, you will definitely succeed in the future. Lao Mi, don't be discouraged. I have learned a lot about refining chalcedony pills." I have learned a lot!”
Lao Mi muttered the words "Failure is the mother of success" and went home in a daze.
After working as a protector for three days, the brother who was being protected was given a blow to the head when he came out.
After he left, Luo Chen shook his head.
The young man is quite old, why is he still so restless?
When he first tried to practice Zhongmiao Pill, he failed for several days in a row, but he was still full of confidence.
In front of other subordinates, he picked up the colorful stone beads from the ground.
After all, it is a gadget made from raw materials worth five spiritual stones.
Not to mention anything else, you can use it to play beads or checkers in your free time!
But this number is not enough. If you fail a few more times and gather all the colors, you can play checkers.
He thought so, and so did the others who watched him pick up beads happily.
Then, in the next few days, all the failed beads were collected and delivered to Luo Chen.
In the past few days, Luo Chen rarely worked hard to refine elixirs.
Every morning and afternoon, practice Zhongmiaowan once.
Under his deliberate control, the elixir formation rate of low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade pills was controlled at a ratio of 361 to 361.
In this way, it is very slow to improve the master level proficiency of Zhongmiaowan.
But it concealed his true alchemy level very well.
Regarding this, the gang held another meeting.
It was hosted by Mi Junping.
She planned to differentiate the prices of these three grades of elixirs.
After some discussion, the low-grade Zhongmiao Pill was priced at three spiritual stones, the mid-grade one was still five yuan, and the high-grade one was priced at ten spiritual stones.
Such a high price is almost equivalent to a Qi-nourishing pill!
There must not be many people buying it.
But it’s okay, there are always people who will buy it.
Moreover, different grades have completely different medicinal properties.
According to the experience report of Mr. Zeng Wen, a senior experience user, we came to the conclusion that the effectiveness of the middle-grade Zhongmiao Pills is twice that of the lower-grade pills, while the upper-grade Zhongmiao Pills completely eliminate the sequelae of Zhongmiao Pills themselves.
Even if it is taken for a long time, it will not cause the Xiaguan Golden Lock to loosen.
Moreover, it really has the effect of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the talents.
Zeng Wen shouted directly that he had found the direction of the avenue!
Luo Chen was also moved by himself. He brought a ray of warmth and a touch of color to this cold and ruthless world of immortality.
He, Luo Chen, should become one of the top ten outstanding young representatives of the Jade Cauldron Domain's Immortal Cultivation World.
The Jade Cauldron Sword Sect owes him a trophy made of high-grade spiritual stone!
Okay, this is the end of the self-impression.
In addition to refining Zhongmiao Pills twice a day, Luo Chen would also refine Chalcedony Pills by himself in the evening.
That's why there are so many colorful beads.
Time goes by very quickly.
In a flash, it was ten days later.
Mi Shuhua once again stepped into Xieyue Valley Alchemy Hall.
But as soon as I arrived, I was so angry at the scene that I blew my beard.
"What are you doing?"
On the left side of the Dan Hall is a slightly protruding cliff platform.
Normally, a stone table was set up here for Luo Chen to eat and drink.
However, today, there were three people sitting at the stone table.
Luo Chen, Gu Caiyi, and Sikong Shoujia.
Three people are gathered together, with a hexagonal disk in the middle.
It is densely covered with stone beads of six colors.
At this time, it was Sikong Shoujia's turn to play chess.
Hearing Mi Shuhua's sudden roar, he got excited and quickly opened the chessboard.
"Gang leader, we are studying the characteristics of the abandoned chalcedony pill and looking for the possibility of success."
It sounds grand, but!
Luo Chen gritted his teeth and stared at Sikong Shoujia.
Old man, you almost lost, but you actually knocked over the chessboard.
I don’t care, anyway, the book you bet on must be given!
…
Facing Sikong Shoujia's sophistry, Mi Shuhua was dubious.
Overall, he didn’t believe it at all!
But the other party is now looking at Luo Chen eagerly, and he also wants to know what progress Luo Chen has made.
Seeing the two old men looking at him pitifully, Luo Chen sighed.
He took out a jade bottle from his storage bag and threw it to Old Man Mi.
Mi Shuhua took the jade bottle doubtfully, and after opening it, his eyes widened instantly.
Then…….
"Hahaha, indeed, you are a genius in alchemy!"
Luo Chen gave a thumbs up, "You are so wise!"
Well!
Mi Shuhua froze for a moment, this guy is really shameless!
But then, he was overjoyed and poured out a pale white pill from the jade bottle.
"Come on, that boy from the Luo family, come here."
Luo Chen subconsciously raised his steps, and then became angry from embarrassment.
Damn, that’s Roldo, Luo Wudi’s nephew.
No, after being honored as an ancestor, the surname Luo will still be taboo for the honorable person!
Roldo stepped forward in confusion.
"Gang leader!"
"Eat it, run the technique, try to refine it, and then tell me the result."
"oh"
Roldo is usually carefree, but in front of the monks in the foundation building stage, he is still well-behaved and smart.
He took the chalcedony pill and started practicing the exercises on the spot.
But that posture was as weird as it was prostrate on the ground like a toad, or like a tiger descending from a mountain with its hair crested.
Seeing this scene, Luo Chen was stunned.
Seeing his doubts, Gu Caiyi explained in a low voice, "Each skill has its own magical effect, and the natural practice methods are also different. It is said that Luo Erduo practiced his uncle Luo Wudi's Xin Hu Xingshan method. At each stage, the skills will be different Simulate some of the demon tiger's movements so that you can better absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
Luo Chen suddenly realized.
He didn't know much about the exercises.
The only one I know is probably Changchun Gong.
Changchun Kung Fu and Mu Kung Fu are exercises that should be done quietly rather than moving.
Therefore, when operating the technique, one's own state is like a tree standing still.
This Xin Hu Xingshan method is more of a dynamic method.
I don’t know what the characteristics of other techniques are.
Thinking like this, he glanced at Gu Caiyi.
However, he found that the other party's expression was a little unnatural, and he subconsciously turned his cheek.
Luo Chen became interested and said, "Fellow Taoist Gu, let's practice together when you have time!"
"roll!"
Gu Caiyi spat and rolled her eyes.
Seeing the two muttering, Mi Shuhua glared hard and immediately opened a silent barrier for Roldo.
It takes a long time for low-level monks to operate their skills.
Luo Chen originally practiced Changchun Gong for two hours.
This disadvantage was gradually reduced to half an hour now as my proficiency increased.
Roldo was no exception. He performed various strange actions, each of which lasted for twenty minutes.
It wasn't until two hours later that he stopped working, sweating profusely.
Mi Shuhua nodded, "The Xin Hu Xingshan method has nine movements in total. You can currently use six movements. It seems that the foundation for the middle stage of Qi refining is still very solid."
Roldo couldn't help but be happy after being praised.
He wiped his sweat and talked about his experience with the elixir just now.
"The medicinal properties are cold and not as mild as Qi-Yang Dan."
"It's normal. The main material is Huan jade. Huan jade is cold, so the medicinal properties are naturally cold." Luo Chen explained aloud.
After glancing at Luo Chen, Roldo continued:
"The medicine is very powerful. It increased my overall spiritual power by about one-half of one thousandth."
Two thousandths, almost one thousandths.
Luo Chen frowned after hearing this, "The potency of the medicine is a bit low, maybe because my technique is not good enough."
However, Mi Shuhua is already very satisfied.
He smiled and said: "Roldo is only at the fourth level of Qi refining. Taking a Qi-nourishing pill will only increase the effect by one-twentieth-one-hundredth. In other words, this low-grade chalcedony pill already has 10% of the effect of the Qi-nourishing pill!"
Luo Chen raised his eyebrows. Mi Shuhua seemed to be very experienced in this area?
I am currently confused in this regard.
Perhaps, you can find time to do some research on this aspect.
As for monks in the foundation-building stage, as long as they are willing to pick it up, they can always get something out of it.
After getting the user experience, Mi Shuhua retreated.
He looked at Luo Chen excitedly, "What's the rate of elixir success?"
Luo Chen said calmly: "I have only succeeded once in ten days. I used my own Ziyun copper furnace. In one furnace, eleven chalcedony pills came out."
Hearing this, Mi Shuhua's excitement decreased.
It is impossible to sell Chalcedony Pills like Zhongmiao Pills.
Zhongmiao Pills, as Kang Dongyue, the master of Jinshi Pavilion in Taishanfang, said at the time, the price was much too high.
It is only because of the special properties of the medicine and the fact that it is located in Dahefang, a place where monsters are often fought, that it can be sold individually, and the price is five spiritual stones.
Its real value, in other inland cities that are more peaceful, is only one or two spiritual stones.
Nowadays, the Chalcedony Pill is only one-tenth of the potency of the Qi-Nourishing Pill.
Then the price of a bottle cannot exceed that much.
Monks are very, very sensitive to the price of cultivation elixirs.
"If the cost of five spiritual stones is to sell a bottle of ten spiritual stones, then we won't make much profit!"
Mi Shuhua murmured.
Then, he looked at Luo Chen expectantly, "Can you increase the number of pills?"
Luo Chen spread his hands, "I'm afraid it won't work now, unless I make greater progress in refining the chalcedony pill."
"Moreover, it cannot be refined on a large scale like Zhongmiaowan. I am not familiar with it myself yet, and the skills cannot be passed on to others."
For now, Luo Chen is indeed doing everything himself.
If those medicine men and pyrotechnics were hurriedly asked to help, I am afraid that even one out of a hundred furnaces would not be successful.
Hearing these difficulties, Mi Shuhua's old face became even more sad.
Seeing this scene, Luo Chen felt a little distressed. He didn't understand him before, but he looked like a kind and wealthy man.
Now that I have had more contact with each other, I have discovered that the other party also has troubles!
Therefore, Luo Chen decided to solve his troubles.
"Gang Leader, the problem that restricts me from refining more chalcedony pills is actually the issue of dealing with Huanyu."
Mi Shuhua perked up. He had also seen the alchemy recipe countless times, and even asked the alchemy apprentices trained by the Mi family to try it.
Naturally, we know the difficult points.
"Every time I handle Huanyu, whether it is squeezing out the chalcedony or blending the chalcedony with auxiliary materials, I must concentrate on it."
Luo Chen rubbed his brows, "You know, as monks in our Qi Refining Stage, our souls are inherently shallow, and our spiritual consciousness cannot even be separated from the body. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for me to do anything."
"So?" Mi Shuhua asked tentatively.
Vaguely, he had a bad feeling.
Luo Chen opened his big innocent eyes, "So if there is any miraculous elixir to soothe your soul and calm your mind, I can always refine more and better chalcedony elixirs for you."
"Well, the soothing incense is very good, cheap, and effective. If I can get just a small box a month, I can definitely do more for this gang!"
Soothing incense, one of the best external objects for low-level monks to assist in their cultivation.
A piece of soothing incense a day is enough for a monk to practice his natal skills five more times. It is said that it can restore the fragile soul of a low-level monk.
Luo Chen had used this thing before, but it was from a short-lived ghost.
Those were two rare experiences of killing people and seizing treasures in his life.
That experience left him with both a terrible and a wonderful experience.
The soothing incense is part of the wonderful experience.
A box of soothing incense allowed him to open his mind to practice at that time, and he even had the energy to develop his own fighting style.
It can be said that if there were not the box of soothing incense and the accompanying qi-nourishing pill.
He didn't have a chance to survive the second battle.
Hearing this name, Mi Shuhua trembled all over.
It's not that it's expensive, a box of soothing incense is just a drop in the bucket to him.
The reason for his trembling is that this kid always seems to be pushing the envelope?
But, for the Chalcedony Pill!
Mi Shuhua took a deep breath, "Anshenxiang, right? I will send someone to deliver it. But you must let me see the effect!"
"Absolutely, I, Xiao Luo, will never talk in vain. You are always waiting to count the spiritual stones at home until you can't close your mouth!"
Ronaldinho is now smiling from ear to ear!
Thanks to Fireworks Xiaomin for the reward. I remember this is the second time. Thank you very much.
