The door of the alchemy room was open, and the alchemist came in and out holding a wooden plate.
Gu Caiyi, who arrived early, was sending someone to count the elixirs refined today so that they could be put into storage later.
"Eighty-seven low-grade chalcedony pills and thirty-five medium-grade chalcedony pills."
"The income supports the alchemy room."
After counting, Luo Chen washed his hands in a small pool formed by mountain springs.
Gu Caiyi came over and asked, "Are you going home today?"
Luo Chen shook his head: "No, I have been free for a few days, and now my hands are itchy. Stay here tonight, read the alchemy book, and try out new ideas."
After hearing this answer, Gu Caiyi didn't say much.
She is going home today. She has been staring here lately, and she is really a little tired.
Walking to the edge of the cliff outside the alchemy hall, Luo Chen looked into the distance.
In my mind, it is still on the property panel.
"Limited by the large amount of refining middle and low-grade chalcedony pills, the proficiency of chalcedony pills is getting slower and slower."
Luo Chen has already explored the characteristics of the attribute panel.
At each stage, the elixir of the corresponding level must be refined, otherwise the proficiency cannot be improved.
In the entry and proficiency stages, the lower grades are the main ones.
At the mastery and perfection stage, a large amount of middle-grade elixirs are needed.
After reaching the master stage, you must refine five hundred high-grade elixirs before you can be promoted to Dzogchen.
This feature is very reasonable.
In the world of immortal cultivation, being able to stably refine hundreds of high-quality elixirs from one kind is enough to be called a master of alchemy.
The best elixirs are obtained by chance by clever hands!
In fact, Luo Chen also experimented with the refining of Dzogchen-level Bigu Powder.
If you want to refine the best Bigu Powder, the success rate is only ten percent.
And this is already very high.
Sighing, Luo Chen no longer dwelled on the matter.
For now, the middle-grade Chalcedony Pill is enough to satisfy Mi Shuhua.
The high-grade chalcedony pills secretly embezzled were enough for Luo Chen to satisfy himself.
Even though Zhongmiaowan has been stuck at the Grandmaster level for so long, I don’t know what effect it will have if the best Zhongmiaowan is refined after the Great Consummation.
I once asked my friend, I’m afraid he’s looking forward to it more than me!
With a chuckle, Luo Chen put away his thoughts and looked at the scene in Xianyue Valley.
The monks who were off work one by one, while the sky was still bright, were either using the Wind Control Technique or controlling magical weapons, and left together.
Under his gaze, Gu Caiyi also joined Murong Qinglian who had finished her work and went home together.
After a while, Xieyue Valley, which was still bustling during the day, was the only one left with a group of mid- to late-stage monks left behind.
Not all of these people show their faces carelessly.
Some are lurking in the dark, some are patrolling outside, and some are resting, ready to replace their companions at any time.
"Mi Shuhua pays more and more attention to Xieyue Valley!"
Luo Chen felt much more at ease when he noticed that the protective force was even stricter than before.
Return to the stone house and activate the first-order water wave array to cover the house.
Then the floor was opened, and Luo Chen fell into the well-developed mine tunnels.
Follow the memory, all the way down.
Soon, we arrived at the top of the Spirit Vein Cave.
He did not rush down, but took out a few formation flags from his storage bag.
After placing the formation flags around and leaving enough spirit stones, Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
This set of first-order formation flags is a trophy from Lu Huaiben's storage bag. It has only one function, which is to cover up fluctuations in spiritual power.
Although it is still impossible to control the leakage of spiritual energy in the cave, it is always good to cover this area.
He believed that even if Mi Shuhua came to the Alchemy Hall and used his spiritual sense, he should not be able to detect the Spirit Vein Cave.
The spiritual consciousness of foundation-building monks is not omnipotent and will be blocked by many things such as mountains, soil, and water flows.
Now that there is a concealment formation, this spiritual vein cave is now considered foolproof.
"Perhaps, even if he discovers it, he won't care about this small branch!"
After all, he is a foundation-building monk, and the main line of first-level spiritual veins can only barely support his practice. How can he see a small branch line.
Luo Chen laughed at himself and went down to the cave.
First, set up the Ziyun copper furnace and boil the Peiyuan spirit liquid.
After the spiritual liquid is boiled, remove the firewood.
Luo Chen took a deep breath, took out the formation flag of the small spirit gathering array, and looked at the blue formation flag.
After the spell was played, the formation flag buzzed and trembled, and then the cyan formation flag fell to the center.
In this way, the small spirit gathering array will focus on absorbing the surrounding wood spiritual energy, which is more suitable for the operation of his Changchun Gong.
Burn incense, bathe in liquid medicine, and take elixirs.
Meditate and concentrate, and start practicing hard.
….
After one night, Luo Chen put away the alchemy furnace and formation flag, and left the cave in a fluttering manner.
It is indeed a small spirit gathering array!
The improvement is so huge!
Without considering the elixir, the effect of Changchun Kung in absorbing and transforming spiritual energy has been greatly improved.
His original master-level Changchun Gong had a practice efficiency that was comparable to that of a monk with three spiritual roots, and about four times that of a monk with five spiritual roots.
After the blessing of the Spirit Vein Cave, the efficiency has approximately doubled to five times.
After using the small spirit gathering array last night, the efficiency tripled, and now the cultivation efficiency is eight times impressive.
What is the concept of eight times?
Luo Chen guessed that this kind of cultivation efficiency was infinitely close to that of a dual spiritual root monk!
There are many legends in the world of immortality, some of which may be true or false.
But many of them are based on experience.
For example, the Tianlinggen monks spent ten years building the foundation, which is recorded in history, and this was without taking any pills.
As for the dual spiritual root monks, it is said that it only takes twenty or thirty years to build the foundation normally.
Eight times the practice efficiency is suitable for this time.
After getting this guess, Luo Chen finally relaxed a little from his tense mentality in practice.
Previously, it would take at least fifty or sixty years to achieve five times the cultivation efficiency before reaching the critical point of foundation building.
And his longevity is strangely stuck at seventy-five years old in his previous life.
Fifty or sixty years later, he will be old and will have no energy left to build the foundation.
But now, with the help of the Small Spirit Gathering Formation, this time has been shortened to less than thirty years.
By then, he was only in his fifties.
It is when you are young and full of vitality that you have enough strength to attack the foundation.
and!
All these calculations are without taking into account the pills and many auxiliary resources for practice!
If those things are added, this time will be shortened crazily.
After all, by actively refining and absorbing, pills after condensing spiritual power cannot come out quickly.
"Mi Shuhua is really nice to me!"
Luo Chen sighed and walked into the mine tunnel.
When he was about to leave, he paused and looked at the well-developed mine tunnels around him.
The thought that came to my mind last time came to mind again.
Maybe we can actually dig an exit in another direction?
With a thought in his mind, Luo Chen released the puppet beast Pangolin, and based on his good memory, he walked towards a mine tunnel facing the Xiaoyue Mountain Range.
….
"Master, you seem to be in a good mood today?"
Tang Quan came over and said flatteringly.
"Oh, is it so?"
Luo Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
He was indeed in a good mood, and his practice efficiency increased, allowing him to truly see the hope of building a foundation.
And when I explored the mine tunnels in the early morning, I finally discovered a trail that had been dug far away before.
The mine tunnel was very narrow and could only accommodate one person.
But after comparison, Luo Chen found that the mine tunnel was closest to Xiaoyue Mountain Range.
If you take some time to dig every day, you might find a direct exit to the outside world.
At that time, if Xianyue Valley encounters monks or monsters that are unable to resist, he will be able to retreat calmly.
There was hope for his cultivation and alternative life paths, so he was naturally in a good mood.
Glancing at Tangquan, Luo Chen suddenly said: "Your uncle once asked me every day when I would refine the Zhongmiao Pills. But now you also know that the gang leader asked me to go all out to refine the Chalcedony Pill, so how could I have time to refine it for him?" All wonderful pills.”
Tang Quan nodded, wondering why Luo Chen said this.
Then, Luo Chen's next words made his expression a little exciting.
"Mi Li and Luo Erduo are now good at refining Bigu Powder. It's not a problem for you to be mixed in the herb pile every day."
"Why don't you refine the Zhongmiao Pills for me?"
"Ah!" Tang Quan was stunned.
"Ah what!" Luo Chen pulled him into the alchemy room, pointed at the Xuanyunding Cauldron and said, "While I'm free now, I'll teach you how to do it."
After saying that, he looked back at Mi Li and others.
"You can also take a look, and if you have any ideas, you can come and try it out."
…
…
Teach the people below little by little how to make Zhongmiao Pills.
In fact, Luo Chen had this idea a few months ago.
In the beginning, he held the idea of treasuring his own broom and did not want to teach anything to others.
But as the alchemy work took up too much time for practice, he knew he couldn't do that anymore.
Therefore, he taught him bit by bit the techniques for handling medicinal materials, controlling heat, and even collecting and storing elixirs.
Three months ago, he taught Mi Li and others some tips on bigu powder.
In fact, Bigu Powder is not bad, and the prescription itself is a popular product.
At the beginning, Luo Chen was not the only one selling Bigu Powder at the casual cultivator market.
Compared with Bigu Powder, the formula of Zhongmiaowan is undoubtedly very precious and is a commercial secret.
Logically speaking, Luo Chen should not let others know.
But now, his mentality has changed.
Cultivation is the foundation of a monk, and the various arts of cultivation only serve the purpose of cultivation.
After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Luo Chen finally felt that it would be better to let his medicine apprentices learn it.
First, they learned to refine Zhongmiao Pills and were able to maintain the types of elixirs produced by Poshan Gang's Dantang.
Secondly, you can save yourself a lot of time for practicing.
Third, to be honest, the market for Zhongmiao Pills is really limited.
Even though mid-grade Zhongmiao Pills have been steadily produced, the market is only limited to Dahefang.
Mi Shuhua has also tried to promote it to places such as Taishanfang and Liuguangfang, but the price has never been high there.
That's why Mi Shuhua finally made up his mind and let Luo Chen go all out to refine the chalcedony pill.
It is true that the profits from Zhongmiaowan are too small.
In the past, it was barely enough to support Luo Chen's cultivation alone, but as the flagship product of a gang, it was no longer enough.
Finally, there is another very important reason.
An alchemist can't make a good elixir just because he has the recipe.
Given the qualifications of Tang Quan, Mi Li and others, if they were given enough raw materials and enough time, it would be difficult for them to refine top-grade Zhongmiao Pills in a lifetime.
In other words, the core competitiveness is actually still in Luo Chen's own hands.
Luo Chen would not do the stupid thing of becoming a disciple of the church and starving himself to death.
He always has a few left over.
Huh, huh.
Tangquan's nose in the alchemy room moved and he smelled a smell of burnt mustard.
He turned to look at Luo Chen and saw Luo Chen shrugging.
"Look at what I'm doing. It's common for alchemy to fail."
"Take care of the alchemy furnace. There will be refining chalcedony pills in the afternoon."
After saying that, he turned and left.
In the alchemy room, only Tangquan, Mi Li and others were left, packing up the alchemy furnace with a sad face.
After walking out of the alchemy room, Luo Chen did not return to the stone house, nor did he wander around Xianyue Valley.
Instead, he said hello to Zhou Yuanli and flew towards the forest behind Xianyue Valley.
"When I was able to get started with Zhongmiaowan, I basically relied on getting started with the system. Even so, I failed many times."
"Tangquan and the others don't know how many times they have to fail before they succeed for the first time."
"Fail, anyway, the raw materials of Poshan Gang will be wasted."
Luo Chen chuckled, descended from the sky and came to the forest.
Glancing back, Luo Chen looked back.
If nothing else, Zhou Yuanli and the others should be protecting him secretly.
No matter what, I'm just here to test the magic weapon anyway, so there's nothing that can't be exposed.
Luo Chen's current trump card is not these magic weapons.
It is the many spells that he has practiced hard.
The Dzogchen Fireball Technique, the incredibly fast escape speed, and the Grandmaster-level entanglement technique.
Even if you are just starting out, Tiannv Sanhua, relying on the Dacheng Hunyuan Bead technique and collecting thousands of discarded chalcedony beads, has extraordinary power.
In comparison, for him, these magic weapons only made his fighting methods more diverse.
"I am probably the only one who can cast many spells calmly and quickly during the Qi refining period!"
After the last battle, Luo Chen was very satisfied with the strength of his spiritual power.
The power of spells is never weaker than magic weapons!
Weak ones are just human beings.
Whoosh!
A simple gray spear fell into Luo Chen's hand.
Injecting spiritual power, the gray spear gradually turned red, and Luo Chen gradually felt a burning heat in his hands.
"A top-grade fire-tipped spear, known for its powerful offensive power."
"My Four Elephant Cauldron's full-strength defense at the beginning almost failed to block it. If the enemy is unprepared, ordinary high-grade robes will not be able to block it with one shot."
The defensive power of the robe is far inferior to that of a specialized defensive weapon.
With a wave of his hand, the spear flew out like a meteor.
The target is a century-old tree a hundred meters away.
Just hearing a bang, the big tree suddenly shook.
Smoke and dust were everywhere. Luo Chen looked up and saw that the big tree had turned into powder.
With a move of his hand, the fire-tip spear flew back toward Luo Chen with a domineering force. When it reached the front, it stopped nimbly.
The master-level traction technique allowed Luo Chen to use the magic weapon extremely quickly.
"The power is really impressive!"
After the test, Luo Chen got the results.
The penetration is not as good as the Soul-Breaking Nail, but when it comes to instant burst and range damage, the Soul-Breaking Nail is far inferior.
With this gun, Luo Chen would have the means to fight head-on.
From then on, the Jasper Knife was only the second choice.
What a pity that top-grade flying sword is!
That flying sword is of ice attribute. For this kind of flying sword, you either have the corresponding ice spirit root, or you have to have excellent water spirit root to master it.
Luo Chen does not have ice spirit roots.
Although he has water spirit roots, he has all five elements and is not outstanding.
Especially the exercise Changchun Gong he practices is of the wood type.
If the wood-type exercises are mainly used, then the spiritual power of the monks will basically be biased towards the wood-type.
According to the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements, wood produces fire, and more wood produces fire. Therefore, Luo Chen will also have good adaptability to fire spells and fire magic weapons.
In comparison, water is like wood, and it is difficult to reverse the two.
Therefore, Luo Chen is not so adaptable to water magic weapons.
But Luo Chen was reluctant to sell the high-grade magic weapon, so he simply kept it in the milk tea shop and used it as an "ice machine".
If he needs it in the future, he can get it back at any time.
"What is this bell for?"
Luo Chen felt a little strange when he took out the pair of green bells.
Injecting mana, the bell glowed green, but other than that there was no reaction.
He thought for a moment and shook his hand slightly.
"Ding Dong!"
There was a soft sound, and Luo Chen, who was unprepared, felt his brain faint.
"Hey, it's a sonic weapon!"
"This is quite rare!"
Luo Chen was so happy to see that he was hunting, he blocked his ears with spiritual power in advance, and then quickly shook the bell.
Jingle, jingle, jingle.
Plop!
A big snake fell directly in the forest ahead.
Luo Chen just glanced at it and remained unmoved.
It's just a cauliflower snake. Even among the first-order monsters, it is extremely weak.
His spiritual power is very thin, and if he takes it out normally, the price of the meat will not be even high.
"Although it is only a medium-grade magic weapon with poor power, sonic attacks are rare."
"Unexpectedly, there may be a decisive effect."
In an instant, Luo Chen thought of the most suitable way to use this bell in battle.
Not with the fire-tip spear, but with the soul-breaking nail, which is also good at sneak attacks.
"In that case, let's just give you a name called Soul Loser Bell!"
Luo Chen smiled slightly and put the bell of death into the storage bag.
Then, he tested several other magical weapons one after another.
It's a pity that they are just ordinary low-grade magic weapons, far from having any power.
As for the whiteboard, Luo Chen had already learned about the specific effects from Wanbao Tower.
That thing was actually sold by Wanbaolou, but it was specially designed for the environment of Xuelianfang.
Snowboard!
Flying magic weapon.
But the flying speed is very average, just like an ordinary mid-term monk using the Wind Control Technique.
However, if you are on a land of ice and snow, or on a large river or sea, you can take advantage of the favorable location and your speed will increase several times, reaching the flying speed in the later stage of Qi refining.
Luo Chen had no intention of selling it.
This kind of magic weapon can still be useful sometimes.
Next, Luo Chen went several kilometers deeper and entered the inner area of the outer forest.
Once there, there are relatively many traces of monsters.
With the help of these first-level monsters, Luo Chen became familiar with the fire-tip spear and the God-losing Bell.
It has to be said that the magical functions of some magic weapons can only be understood in actual combat.
That fire-pointed spear, in addition to controlling the enemy, can also emit a powerful rain of fire when held in the hand and stimulated with spiritual power.
A large cloud of sparks flew out and fell like fire rain from the sky.
The attack power is low, but the attack range is large.
Under a large-scale strike, almost every Fire Rain has the power of a low-grade magic weapon.
As for the most suitable fighting method for the fire-pointed spear, apart from facing the enemy head-on, the carbine is the best move.
"No wonder Lu Huaiben didn't use this magical weapon at the first time, but only used it when I was chasing him."
"First of all, I guess I was frightened by the fact that I instantly killed two enemies. Secondly, I wanted to make a great achievement in one fell swoop and kill them with one shot while I was slacking off."
"It's a pity that I always maintained the defense of the Four Elephant Cauldron at that time."
Stepping on the white snowboard, Luo Chen slowly flew back to Xianyue Valley.
Behind him, Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang looked at each other.
The hall master seems to be very talented in fighting!
Just now in that forest, he encountered three first-level monsters one after another, and he easily defeated them all.
You know, those magical weapons were obviously just acquired.
When using it, I always feel unfamiliar.
But later on, he became more and more proficient in controlling it, and he even discovered some special functions.
"Perhaps, the three enemies who chased the hall master at the beginning really might have been killed by the hall master himself?" Zhou Yuanli couldn't help but say.
Liu Qiang was dubious, after all, they were three enemies at the same level as Luo Chen!
Back in Xieyue Valley, Luo Chen went to find his superior, Kong Shoujia.
"Entrust the gang to sell these low-grade magic weapons?"
Sikong Shoujia examined the few low-grade magic weapons and shook his head: "I guess they won't be able to sell a few spiritual stones."
Luo Chen was confused: "No way, these items are in pretty good condition and there is no damage. Moreover, the demand for magical weapons in Dahefang has always been very high!"
"Dahefang has a high demand for magic weapons, but that's not the case in other places!"
Sikong Shoujia rolled his eyes and explained to Luo Chen.
It turns out that the Jade Cauldron Territory, except for the first hundred years since the Jian Zong established the Tripod Territory, has gradually become peaceful in the next three hundred years.
Fights have decreased, and the demand for elixirs has increased, but the demand for magic weapons has dropped repeatedly.
In addition, the magical instruments are durable and can be passed down to future generations as legacies by the old masters. As a result, there are more and more magical instruments in the world of immortality.
If it were a magic weapon, it would be even more powerful.
Monks can use mana to accumulate it, and their power levels can even rise repeatedly.
As a result, over the years, the price of the Jade Cauldron Domain's magical weapons has been on a downward trend.
Because Dahefang is close to the Million Mountains of the Eastern Wasteland, hunting monsters is popular, so the price of magic weapons remains high.
But over the years, the prices of magical instruments in other places have gradually affected Dahefang.
In fact, Luo Chen had been exposed to this point a long time ago.
Wanbaolou has always offered half-price for retrieving magical artifacts. Those that are seriously damaged will not be given half-price.
When Wang Yuan first set up a stall, most of the items sold were medium-grade magical instruments.
There are very few low-grade magical instruments.
"With these ordinary items like yours, not many people will be interested in them when you put them out for a stall. Those who are interested in them must be early to mid-stage monks, and they won't be able to pay high prices."
"I'll think about it. If I can sell it for a few hundred spiritual stones in the end, it'll be huge."
Luo Chen was furious!
"This is a magic weapon I earned at the cost of my life. It's just a few hundred spiritual stones. How about sending it to a beggar?"
"Who told you that you don't know which hand you are using! It is still the most rubbish low-grade magic weapon!"
Sikong Shoujia curled his lips and then gave Luo Chen three suggestions.
"Or give it to a friend and get a friendly price."
"Either take it to Wanbao Tower, and others will treat it as scrap and give you the cost price."
"Or, you can hand it over to the gang and calculate it based on your merits."
The first one was directly eliminated by Luo Chen.
He doesn't have many friends around him and needs a low-grade magic weapon.
Even Yuan Xiaoyue, who is at the third level of Qi Refining, actually has no shortage of magic weapons.
Her grandfather, as well as her dead father, both left her a set of medium-grade magic weapons.
Second, Luo Chen hesitated.
As for the third one?
"Meritor? What's the use?"
"You can use it to exchange for some of the skills collected by the Xuantang! Or you can buy elixirs directly from the Xuantang... Uh, okay, the elixirs in the gang are all refined by you."
Sikong Shoujia paused for a moment. For a moment, he really couldn't think of any good things in the gang that Luo Chen needed.
The main reason is that Luo Chen is very shameless. Relying on his status as the leader of the Alchemy Hall, he can use all the magic and other skills in the gang for free.
Merit?
He didn't care at all.
"Forget it, I'll keep it for now!"
There are only a few magic weapons and they don't take up much space.
What if the price of magical instruments goes up in the future?
After making up his mind, Luo Chen was no longer in a hurry to sell the magic weapon, and he didn't lack those few spiritual stones now.
Just when he was about to leave, Sikong Shoujia held him back.
Looking at the old man who was hesitant and hesitant to speak.
Luo Chen was surprised, "What's wrong, are you constipated? Then I recommend you to go to Baishi Plaza Mixue Bingcheng and buy a cup of undiluted Fuzhu milk tea to moisten the intestines and relieve constipation. The effect is amazing!"
"roll!"
Sikong Shoujia cursed, then said after careful consideration:
"What do you think of Mi Junping, the master of the Hall of Honors?"
(End of chapter)
