Ximen Changqing went on a shopping spree at Qingyangfang and bought tens of thousands of first-level blank talisman papers. He had no shortage of materials for alchemy, but he needed to prepare more talisman papers.
After that, he went to a mortal town and purchased 10,000 jins of rice, 2,000 jins of dried meat, hundreds of newly released books, and a large number of pens, inks, paper, and inkstones.
Song Tianyang, this kid, has read too many mortal books, and actually complains that the writing is not exciting. He wants to write one by himself to pass the boring time.
It doesn’t cost a few spiritual stones anyway, so I’ll satisfy him.
After returning to Qingyang Mountain, he went to the family library and exchanged all the information on the four arts of immortality, including alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, and formation techniques.
Ximen Renzhi, who was sitting in charge, was shocked. However, his family's contribution was enough, and the great elder was helpless.
"Is it possible that this kid has to learn all the four arts of immortality? He is too greedy." After sighing, Ximen Renzhi closed his eyes and rested.
Entering the Nine Heavens Space, Ximen Changqing began to formally refine the alchemy. The materials had already been prepared, and there were two thousand copies of Bigu Pill materials, which was enough for practice.
Three months of seclusion is two and a half years in the space. With such a long period of practice and so many training materials, even a pig can learn how to make alchemy.
The alchemy furnace is only a low-grade magic weapon, and the grade is very low, but Ximen Changqing has the Xuan-grade middle-grade purple spirit fire in his hand, which is much easier to use than spiritual charcoal.
With the Purple Spirit Fire in hand, the difficulty of refining the elixir can be greatly reduced.
In the western cave, Ximen Changqing sat cross-legged, with an alchemy furnace in front of him.
He took a deep breath, took out the purple spirit fire, placed it gently under the alchemy furnace, and made a secret with one hand to inject spiritual power into the purple spirit fire.
The flame of the purple spirit fire becomes larger and begins to heat the alchemy furnace. This kind of heaven and earth spirit fire is relatively mild, and the flame is relatively stable, and will not fluctuate up and down.
The first step in alchemy is to start a fire. After the fire is started, it is to warm the furnace, which means to heat the alchemy furnace.
Soon, the surface of the alchemy furnace radiated heat, and the warming furnace was completed.
Ximen Changqing made a secret with one hand and controlled the size of the purple spirit fire while opening the lid of the alchemy furnace. This was the third step of opening the lid.
A portion of White Jade Spirit Valley and Moon Grass are added to the alchemy furnace. This is the fourth step of dispensing the medicine.
After the furnace lid was re-covered, Ximen Changqing used the fire control technique to continuously adjust the size of the purple spirit fire to melt the materials in the furnace.
After the fifth step of fire control is completed, the next step is to condense the elixir. You need to use the elixir condensation technique to condense the melted material into particles. As long as the elixir condensation is completed, you can open the lid and collect the elixir.
"puff……"
An unusual sound came out, and a burning smell filled the air.
"When condensing the elixir, I didn't control the heat properly. The temperature in the furnace was too high and the elixir was burnt."
Ximen Changqing shook his head, cleaned the alchemy furnace, and prepared to start refining the next furnace of elixirs.
In this way, he kept trying and summarizing his experiences and lessons. After two months of practice, he finally successfully refined a pot of Bigu Pill that was of good quality.
Compared with Sang Xiaoyu, this qualification was not even a bit inferior. He had discovered that it was easier when learning formations and refining weapons.
When learning to make alchemy, it is obviously much more difficult. This is probably due to talent!
When talent is not enough, you can only rely on hard work and a lot of practice to improve.
Fortunately, he has enough materials, enough time, and enough perseverance. Even if his qualifications are not enough, he is still enough to surpass the average person.
After learning to refine the Bigu Pill for a year and spending a thousand materials, I finally increased the success rate of the Bigu Pill to 60%, which has reached the average level of an alchemy apprentice.
After continuing to refine it for half a year, the rate of the Bigu Pill was increased to 70%, which made him very satisfied. Next, he began to learn to refine the Qi Gathering Pill.
As a first-level middle-grade elixir, the refining difficulty of the Qi Gathering Pill is naturally much more difficult than that of the Bigu Pill. After dozens of failures, the first batch of Qi Gathering Pill was finally successfully refined.
Because I had accumulated a lot of experience when refining the Bigu Pill before and practiced my skills enough times, I lost a lot less when refining the Qi Gathering Pill.
After half a year of practice, the success rate of Qi Gathering Pill has reached 60%.
In the last half year, Ximen Changqing tried to refine the first-class high-grade elixir, the Yangshen Pill. During the auction, the Ximen family bought the recipe for the Yangshen Pill.
The main ingredients of the Nourishing Pill are Aesculus and Ink Leaf Lotus. Both of these main ingredients take hundreds of years to mature and are relatively expensive. Naturally, they cannot be wasted like the Bigu Pill.
In order to learn to refine the nourishing pill, he used all the ice jade honey.
There are only thirty copies of these two medicinal herbs, some of which are purchased in stores, and some of which are collected in Baihu Mountain.
Because the quantity of materials is very limited, Ximen Changqing naturally has to be very careful every time. Scrapping a furnace is a huge loss.
Despite adequate preparations, the first furnace of the Nourishing Pill was scrapped. I spent one day summing up the experience and continued the challenge the next day, but the result was still failure.
After three consecutive failures, the fourth batch of elixirs finally succeeded. Although there was only one elixir, it was enough to make him happy.
One furnace was refined in five days, and ice jade honey was added to each furnace. In the last few furnaces, the success rate of the Nourishing Pill reached 40%. Even with the help of ice jade honey, it was still very good.
This time, a total of seventy-two nourishing pills were obtained from the refining of the nourishing pills. Moreover, the pills are free of erysipelas and can be taken with confidence.
The main function of this spirit-nourishing pill is to nourish and repair the spiritual consciousness. Nourishment can make the spiritual consciousness stronger.
Restoration refers to the restoration of spiritual consciousness when it is damaged.
For nourishing the spiritual consciousness, the effect of a nourishing pill is equivalent to engraving the forbidden array diagram for three months.
At the beginning, Ximen Changqing learned dozens of first-order forbidden formations by continuously carving forbidden formations. At the same time, he also made his spiritual consciousness stronger, far superior to that of monks of the same level.
Of course, if you take too many nourishing pills, the effect will gradually decrease. When you take the tenth pill, it will only be effective for two months, and when you take thirty pills, it will only be effective for one month.
Whether it is refining elixirs, refining weapons, making talismans, formations, or fighting skills, a more powerful spiritual consciousness will only be beneficial.
Ximen Changqing refined seventy-two spirit-nourishing pills. He planned to take thirty of them and leave the rest to Changyu and Xiaoyu.
It's not that I don't want to give it to others, but I don't want to expose my alchemy skills for the time being.
He engraved his experience in refining the spirit-refining pill on the jade slip, put away the alchemy furnace and the purple spirit fire, and Ximen Changqing came out of seclusion.
He has advanced to the first level of high-level alchemy master, becoming the highest-level alchemist in the Ximen family.
This is somewhat ironic. The Ximen family's alchemy skills are so poor that they don't even have an alchemist who can master it.
