A low-grade magical weapon in the Chu Kingdom costs about one hundred spiritual stones, a medium-grade magical weapon costs about two hundred spiritual stones, a high-grade magical weapon costs about four hundred spiritual stones, and the top-grade magical weapon starts with at least eight hundred spiritual stones. There is often a price but no market.
The outer disciples of the Yuanyang Sect are only given five spiritual stones every month. In addition to the standard magical weapons issued by the sect, if they want to purchase an additional low-grade magical weapon, even if they are usually frugal and want to collect this amount of spiritual stones. It will take nearly two years, not to mention a medium-grade magic weapon with two hundred spiritual stones.
After watching Senior Brother Wu go away, Liu Yu recovered his thoughts and officially began his cultivation career in the medicine garden.
Liu Yu bought thirty copies of the seeds of the elixir needed for the Gathering Spirit Pill, and fifteen copies of the seeds for the Qingling Pill, spending three spiritual stones and two spiritual stones respectively.
He first brought the elixir seeds collected from Fangshi to the Immortal Mansion and planted them. After they were ripened by the Immortal Mansion, he put them into the jade box that had been prepared.
He used fifteen more spiritual stones to replenish the spiritual power consumed by the black spiritual field, which made him feel a lot of pain. At this time, there were only eighteen spiritual stones left in the storage bag, which was severely shrunk.
Touching the storage bag, Liu Yu took a long breath and felt a sense of urgency to earn spiritual stones.
Liu Yu spent two hours every day taking care of the elixir garden, weeding and watering the elixirs, and then spent two hours carefully studying the basics of alchemy, writing down what he didn't understand, thinking about it slowly, and pondering over it.
Then spend an hour practicing spells and magic weapons. Immortal cultivators go against the will of heaven in pursuit of immortality, and are never afraid of killing. In addition to improving their realm, magic weapons and spells are also an important part of their strength. They must not do it if their lives are at stake. rusty.
In the evening, he spent four hours meditating and refining his Qi, using the rich spiritual energy from the elixir garden to speed up his practice.
The state of cultivation is the foundation of everything, Liu Yu always remembers this.
In the last three hours, it is time to sleep and rest. During the Qi refining period, monks cannot sleep without rest and must use sleep to restore the energy consumed.
Every day was fully scheduled, and in such a hard-working day, more than half a month passed in a flash.
After more than half a month of speculation, Liu Yu felt that he had thoroughly understood the basics of alchemy and had some ideas for refining the Spirit-Gathering Pill, so he began to prepare to refine the Spirit-Gathering Pill.
Novices generally learn to make alchemy first with the easy stuff and then with the more difficult ones, and Liu Yu is no exception.
He planned to start with the Spirit-Gathering Pill that he took in the early stage of refining Qi. Because refining the Spirit-Gathering Pill is much less difficult than refining the Qingling Pill and requires one less elixir, it is most suitable to use it to familiarize himself with the process of elixir refining. but.
Going from easy to difficult is a necessary process for every alchemy apprentice to learn alchemy. Otherwise, no matter how amazing your alchemy talent is, without this step-by-step process, there will only be failure.
I cleaned up a thatched house, swept the debris into the corners, and placed the copper tripod in the center of the room. The conditions were simple at this time, so I had to make do with it for the time being.
Liu Yuxian carved a miniature formation next to the copper tripod and placed three low-grade spiritual stones at the junction of several lines. This is a fire-control formation recorded in "Basics of Alchemy". It can be controlled through a special This technique stimulates the spiritual power in the spirit stone and turns it into a high-temperature flame, which can shorten the time required for alchemy. Moreover, the flame of the magic circle burns very stably, which helps to increase the success rate of alchemy.
You must know that the success of elixir refining mainly depends on the precise ratio of the elixir materials, the time of adding the elixir, the control of the fire when refining the elixir, the timing of opening the furnace to take the elixir, and the technique of refining the elixir.
There is nothing to say about the precise ratio of alchemy materials. After countless practices by monks throughout the ages, they have already understood it clearly. When making alchemy, you only need to prepare the materials and quantities mentioned in the formula.
Of course, this refers to ordinary alchemists. A few alchemy masters can also adjust the formula according to the changes in the years of alchemy materials.
As one of the key factors in the success of alchemy, the importance of flame cannot be overemphasized.
If Liu Yu's scarce mana from the fourth level of Qi Refining was used to activate the flame, the mana would probably be exhausted before the elixir refining was completed. Moreover, the flame was not so stable, which would have a certain impact on the rate of elixir formation.
Most alchemists use earth fire to make elixirs. Earth fire has a higher temperature, is relatively stable, and is extremely long-lasting. It is really a good choice.
Liu Yu now has no earth fire, so he can only choose to use formations to stimulate the flames, which only consumes some spiritual stones.
The investment in the elixir and the time it takes to open the furnace test the experience of the alchemist. Without dozens or hundreds of refinings, it is difficult to control it accurately.
Alchemy techniques are even more difficult to learn. Each alchemist has his own unique alchemy technique, which he often reserves when teaching apprentices. Generally, he will only pass it on to his direct descendants or direct disciples.
The basics of alchemy only recorded a few general alchemy techniques. Liu Yu was quite helpless about this and secretly decided to collect an excellent alchemy technique.
After everything was ready, Liu Yu opened the fire door under the copper cauldron and placed the copper cauldron in the center of the miniature formation.
Then Liu Yu squeezed the magic spell with his hand, and cast several red lights on the magic circle. The magic circle absorbed the red light, and the three inlaid spiritual stones suddenly became brighter.
A fist-sized flame emitting high temperature appeared below the copper cauldron, gradually growing in size and burning fiercely in the fire door.
Suddenly, the air in the room was filled with scorching heat.
Even Liu Yu, who was sitting cross-legged next to the copper cauldron, felt a wave of heat coming towards his face, and had to shoot a magic spell on the magic circle to reduce the output of firepower.
After about half a quarter of an hour of practice, the red copper cauldron was almost warmed up. The purple-red cauldron body was even faintly glowing red, and Liu Yu felt an astonishing high temperature.
He knew that the preheating was completed, so he quickly pinched the magic spell with his hand, and injected a ray of magic power into the small cauldron. The small cauldron shuddered, and the lid of the cauldron flew up, revealing the round mouth of the cauldron.
Liu Yu patted the storage bag, turned his palm over, and several jade boxes appeared in his hand, which were exactly the elixirs needed to refine the spirit-gathering pill.
He opened the jade boxes one by one, followed the elixir prescription, used his spiritual power to absorb one of the elixirs, came to the top of the cauldron mouth, slowly entered the cauldron, pinched the magic spell, and the cauldron lid flew back to cover the cauldron mouth.
Liu Yu's spiritual consciousness penetrated into the cauldron, and his spiritual consciousness carefully controlled the size and temperature of the flame, removing impurities and extracting the essence of the elixir.
After a period of time, Liu Yu continued to pinch the magic formula, and put the elixirs into it one after another according to the requirements of the Spirit Gathering Pill, and merged the essence of the elixirs extracted from the cauldron into round balls the size of marbles. , began to condense the elixir.
As time passed, the small cauldron gradually emitted the slightest hint of medicinal fragrance, which refreshed people's spirits.
Liu Yu's forehead was sweating with a look of anticipation on his face, and he was slightly excited in his heart. He pinched the spell with his fingers and shot out a white light on the array. The flame slowly extinguished, and his consciousness controlled the cauldron lid to slowly fly up.
At this time, the fragrance of the medicine changed, and Liu Yu seemed to have thought of something. He hurriedly opened it and saw a few mottled colored pills lying at the bottom of the cauldron, which was very different from the spirit-gathering pills he usually saw.
"Cidan?" Liu Yu's face darkened, feeling a bit pity.
The so-called secondary elixir is a product of the alchemist's failure in refining the elixir. It is formed by the overflow of the elixir's spiritual energy when there is a slight error in the control of the heat or the time of release. This kind of secondary elixir contains less spiritual power and its effect is minimal.
After calming down, Liu Yu casually put away the alchemy, poured out the impurity powder in the cauldron, and then washed it with clean water. After the copper cauldron had completely cooled down, he started refining the elixir again.
