The dark elixir in Guo Xun's hand was regarded as a "waste elixir" by Shang Wang from the beginning. At this moment, under the impact of Guo Xun's spiritual energy, its true colors were finally revealed.
Spirit-Gathering Pill, this is a genuine high-grade Spirit-Gathering Pill.
When Shang Wang saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment.
As Shang Wang said, it is impossible for anyone in this world to succeed in making alchemy for the first time.
Of course, at least that's what Shang Wang thinks. There may be people in the world who succeed in making alchemy for the first time, but such people are so rare that Shang Wang thinks it's impossible for him to meet them.
But today such a thing really happened in front of him.
This made him start to doubt his own knowledge. Is there really no such genius in the world, or is he too ignorant.
There was an accident when refining the elixir, so why was the elixir still successfully refined?
At first it seemed like it was a useless elixir, but why was there a genuine elixir inside?
Shangwang has been refining alchemy for decades and has never heard of or encountered such a situation today.
At this moment, he looked at the crystal clear light blue spirit-gathering pill in Guo Xun's hand, and his heart was full of surprise and disbelief.
Shang Wang hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the elixir from Guo Xun's hand.
"Show me quickly!"
Guo Xun had not recovered from the alchemy process when he suddenly heard Shang Wang's words, and immediately the elixir in his hand disappeared.
Shang Wang took the Spirit Gathering Pill and looked at it carefully.
This sight shocked him even more.
What? This is impossible!
This Spirit-Gathering Pill turned out to be a high-quality top-grade Spirit-Gathering Pill. Both in terms of transparency and color depth, it was better than the one he had just refined.
Shang Wang naturally knows what the top-grade elixir is.
Shang Wang has been refining alchemy for decades and has never obtained a high-grade elixir. Just now he finally refined one out of nowhere. In his eyes, it was just a joke played by God and a complete accident.
The quality of the elixir directly determines its efficacy.
Low-grade elixirs are easy to refine, and even the worst alchemist can refine low-grade elixirs.
Things that are easy to obtain are naturally not good things. Low-grade elixirs contain at least 40% impurities. Some of these impurities will be offset by the medicinal properties of the elixirs, but not all of them.
Low-grade elixirs have side effects. Naturally, there will be no problem if they are taken in small amounts, but problems will definitely arise if they are taken in large amounts.
If you take too much, impurities will accumulate in the body. These impurities will be absorbed by the body along with the medicinal properties, and eventually penetrate into the internal organs and every cell of the body.
It is conceivable that over time, even a person's cultivation aptitude will be buried by these impurities, eventually turning a person who was originally a genius into a useless talent.
This is something that everyone in the world of cultivation knows, so few monks will choose low-grade elixirs unless they have no choice.
Fortunately, there is a pill in this world that can solve such problems, which saves the monks a lot of worries.
However, the price of a pill like this that can cure erysipelas is not something that anyone can afford.
Middle-grade elixirs do not have these concerns, because they contain twice the medicinal properties of low-grade elixirs, so they can completely neutralize the erysipelas contained in impurities.
It's just that the price of middle-grade elixirs is more than twice that of low-grade pills. How can it be possible to buy such an elixir without side effects so easily.
In addition, it is much more difficult for an alchemist to refine middle-grade elixirs than low-grade elixirs. Usually, when a first-grade alchemist refines first-grade elixirs, the proportion of middle-grade elixirs can only account for one percent.
Therefore, due to the superposition of the two factors, the price of middle-grade elixirs has remained high.
How to distinguish an ordinary alchemist from a reputable alchemist, the most important thing is to look at the quality of the elixirs they refine.
If everyone can master low-grade elixirs, then mid-grade elixirs are a watershed, and high-grade elixirs are a gateway.
The quality of elixirs is particularly important for elixirs, and even more important for cultivators. Different qualities have different effects.
Even if you can only refine the lowest level elixirs, such as first-grade elixirs, as long as your elixirs are of high enough quality and can reach mid-grade or even top-grade elixirs, someone will definitely come to you to refine them.
No one wants their precious alchemy materials to be refined into inferior elixirs.
You can even call yourself a first-grade elixir master. As the name suggests, the first-grade elixirs you refine are of a very high grade, most of which are mid-grade, so you can have such a title.
Although Shang Wang today can refine third-grade elixirs, it is difficult to refine third-grade mid-grade elixirs, so he does not dare to call himself a third-grade alchemy master.
Most of the third-grade elixirs he refined were low-grade elixirs, and the middle-grade elixirs among them were basically rare.
Shang Wang looked at the high-grade spirit-gathering pill in his hand, and he became a little uneasy. He stood there blankly, looking at the pill in a daze.
After a while, Guo Xun felt strange.
"Master, what's wrong with you? How about this elixir! Am I successful in refining it?"
Shang Wang still didn't answer. Guo Xun felt more and more strange, so he stepped forward and pushed Shang Wang.
Shang Wang was pushed and then he reacted. He was a little lost and a little at a loss.
"Ah! You...what did you say?"
Guo Xun frowned.
"How about my elixir? Did it pass the test?"
Shang Wang sighed. Who should he talk to about the desolation in his heart at this time, but he still said stiffly: "It's... not bad! I guess you have some talent."
When Guo Xun heard this, he nodded slightly and smiled, indicating that he was quite satisfied.
Shang Wang was surprised, but he still did not deny Guo Xun's achievements.
Only now did Shang Wang fully realize what true genius was.
Shang Wang didn't want Guo Xun to be too proud. Top-grade elixirs were no joke. The efficacy of top-grade elixirs was unparalleled. Although they were first-grade elixirs, they were also very popular.
First-grade Spirit-Gathering Pills have no effect on monks above the Foundation Establishment stage, but they are limited to ordinary low-grade or mid-grade Spirit-Gathering Pills.
If it's a high-grade spirit-gathering pill, that's a different matter.
As for how effective it is, Shang Wang doesn't know.
Seeing Guo Xun's high interest, Shang Wang threw three more elixir recipes to Guo Xun and asked him to refine these three first-grade elixirs within half a month.
Shang Wang threw the elixir recipe to Guo Xun and left. When he was about to leave, Shang Wang opened a room next to the alchemy room and told Guo Xun that there were spiritual herbs and spiritual stones in the room, as well as some large and small items. Small alchemy cauldron.
Shang Wang looked at the alchemy cauldrons in the room with mixed feelings. Although the alchemy cauldrons were not very expensive, they were not cheap either. The most common alchemy cauldrons cost hundreds of taels of silver, and the better ones even cost thousands.
If it were all damaged by Guo Xun, it would be a big loss, but he was relieved when he thought that his cheap disciple was a genius.
Although the family's income is currently sluggish, they can still easily come up with thousands of taels of silver.
Shang Wang no longer showed Guo Xun how to refine the elixir, because he was seriously injured this time, and of course it was a psychological trauma.
Shang Wang even began to doubt whether he should make elixirs. Without comparison, there would be no harm.
After Shang Wang left the alchemy room, he found Shang Yan and told him not to disturb Guo Xun if he had nothing to do.
Shang Yan was surprised, thinking that he must have fallen out of favor! I feel a little discouraged. I didn’t expect that this Guo Xun could completely capture the heart of Grandpa Si just one day after his arrival. It’s really amazing!
After Shang Wang returned to his room, he couldn't wait to study the high-grade spirit-gathering pill refined by Guo Xun.
Shang Wang took the Spirit Gathering Pill and observed it carefully.
He discovered that this high-grade spirit-gathering pill had some strange purple lines on it, so he quickly took out the spirit-gathering pill he had refined.
Put the two together and make a judgment.
After this comparison, he was surprised to find that the gap between the Spirit Gathering Pill he refined and Guo Xun's Spirit Gathering Pill was extremely huge.
There is a world of difference in terms of color, smell, and efficacy.
Guo Xun's Spirit-Gathering Pill is crystal clear, bright, and faintly emitting a light blue light. There is even a trace of purple in this light, making it look a bit coquettish.
Shang Wang looked at the purple lines on the Spirit Gathering Pill and was puzzled.
Is this because there is purple electric light in Guo Xun's flame?
There are many reasons why the elixir refined by Guo Xun is of such high quality, the most important of which is this purple electricity.
Shang Wang quickly figured out this truth. At this time, he couldn't help but remember that the spirit-gathering pill he had just refined also contained a high-grade spirit-gathering pill. Only then did he suddenly realize that it turned out that the liquid was in the molten liquid at the beginning. At that time, he added the spiritual liquid refined by Guo Xun.
Shang Wang suddenly realized, and an inexplicable feeling suddenly emerged in his heart. This was both a feeling of relief and a feeling of unwillingness.
He didn't expect that the spiritual liquid refined by Guo Xun would be so powerful that it could actually allow him to refine a top-grade spirit-gathering pill.
Thinking of this, Shang Wang was not only vaguely looking forward to it. He didn't know how successful a cheap disciple like himself would be in the alchemy path in the future. He didn't know what kind of opportunity this would be for their merchants.
