Ignite, preheat, extract the essence, fuse the essence, condense the elixir... and soon the small tripod exudes a familiar medicinal fragrance.
This time Liu Yu waited a little longer, but in just a few breaths, the scent of the medicine disappeared and a burnt smell came.
No doubt another failure.
There was no sadness or joy on Liu Yu's face, and her heart was as calm as water.
For beginners, failure is common. Every alchemist will go through this stage. Failure is the mother of success.
Liu Yu's heart was uneasy. He did not directly refine the elixir again. Instead, he took out a booklet and recorded the problems he encountered. He thought carefully about his shortcomings and saved those questions that he couldn't understand for later. Go to the Sutra Pavilion to read the classics, or ask others for advice when you have the opportunity.
Two quarters of an hour later, ignite, preheat, and extract the essence of the elixir...
Another half month passed in a flash. In the thatched house, Liu Yu's pale face looked slightly haggard, her long hair was scattered on her shoulders, and a short beard grew on her chin.
But his eyes were exceptionally bright, and his dark pupils were deep and distant.
During the past half month, Liu Yu would refine two or three furnaces of pills every day. Just nine days ago, he successfully refined a furnace of Spirit-Gathering Pills and made eight pills.
With that successful experience as a reference, we can basically succeed once every four or five furnaces, and get a total of twenty-four Spirit Gathering Pills.
Liu Yu started refining the Qingling Pill after he ran out of the Spirit-Gathering Pill. After using up fifteen pieces of the Spirit-gathering Pill, he successfully made two furnaces and got fifteen Qingling Pills.
The reason why the success rate is so low is because there is an additional elixir in the Qingling Pill, and the two steps of medicinal power fusion and elixir condensation are more complicated and difficult, so the success rate is much lower.
Looking at the five jade bottles in front of him, Liu Yu's haggard face showed a smile, and he finally achieved some results.
Immediately, he wrote down his experiences and difficulties in the past few days in the booklet. After the task was over, he would read the classics or find someone to help him solve the problem. He put both of them into his storage bag with a wave of his hand.
The Spirit-Gathering Pill usually contains one spirit stone, and the Qingling Pill contains three spirit stones. These pills add up to about fifty-nine spirit stones.
One elixir for refining the Spirit-Gathering Pill is worth three spirit stones, and one portion of the Clear Spirit Pill is worth five spirit stones. The elixir consumed this time is worth a total of one hundred and sixty-five spirit stones. The elixir obtained But it was only worth fifty-nine spiritual stones, a full loss of one hundred and six spiritual stones.
Such losses are enough to make some small cultivating families vomit blood and go bankrupt, and large sect families will also be heartbroken. The threshold for learning alchemy is so high, so there are so few alchemists in the world of cultivation.
Perhaps because of his two lifetimes, Liu Yu's spiritual consciousness is a little stronger than that of monks of the same level, and he can better understand the changes in the power of medicine when refining alchemy. The initial rate of elixir formation is higher than that of ordinary alchemy apprentices.
He stood up and dusted himself off.
Put the copper tripod into the storage bag, reach out and take out the three spiritual stones embedded in the miniature formation. This is the third time to replace the spiritual stones. The spiritual energy of the previous two spiritual stones has long been exhausted.
Liu Yu opened the doors and windows to allow the air in the room to circulate, dissipate the scent of the medicine left during the alchemy, and eliminate the traces of the formation one by one.
Finally, I didn't forget to take out a piece of cloth to wrap the powder and impurities left by the elixir, put it in a storage bag, and take it away. Then I could bury it somewhere casually without anyone noticing.
During this month, Liu Yu collected many elixir seeds, most of which were commonly used elixirs during the Qi refining period, as well as a small number of rare elixir seeds that were difficult to buy from the outside world. However, there were not many spiritual stones left at this time, and it was difficult to ripen them. There is no need to rush.
After taking one last glance and carefully checking that nothing was missing, Liu Yu left the room.
…
Liu Yu sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, and the "Wood Spirit Jue" technique was slowly running, performing a great cycle of heaven and earth, refining spiritual energy and improving his cultivation.
After completing his daily meditation practice, Liu Yu took out the wooden box containing the elixir seeds and placed it in the palm of his hand. A ray of spiritual consciousness probed the green light spot, and a familiar suction force came. His eyes turned dark and the sky was spinning. He opened his eyes again. It turned into a red light ball, and the wooden box was floating beside it.
Dark space, cyan barrier, floating gray island, there is no change in the space of Immortal Mansion.
He used his consciousness to pull the wooden box and float it towards the small wooden house on the left.
Rows of wooden boxes are neatly placed in the small wooden house on the left. This is where the elixir seeds are stored.
Liu Yu opened one of the wooden boxes and took out a dark seed about the size of a soybean. This was the seed of "Blue Ganoderma". The soul controlled the seed to float to the spiritual field.
After digging up the black spiritual soil and carefully planting the Ganoderma lucidum seeds, Liu Yu waited patiently beside him.
After a while, green buds sprouted from the black spiritual soil, growing at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, as if time was speeding up its body countless times.
About ten hours later, the green sprout turned into a three-inch Ganoderma lucidum with green lines on its surface. After that, it stopped growing. It seemed that it had reached its limit and time returned to normal.
The red light group approached gently and revolved around this green Ganoderma lucidum.
"It seems to be about two hundred years old."
Liu Yu once saw information about Bi Lingzhi in a sect book and recognized its size and characteristics in each year. The growth limit of Bi Lingzhi is a thousand years, and it can even be used to refine the energy of the Nascent Soul stage. of elixirs.
Could it be that the limit of the Immortal Mansion's ripening elixir is two hundred years?
This thought flashed through his mind, and Liu Yu immediately began to worry about gains and losses, but he quickly stabilized his mentality. Even if he could only mature for two hundred years, this ability was already very incredible.
It is normal for such a magical fairy palace to have some restrictions. Maybe this is the balance of the avenue!
"Why did the Immortal Mansion turn into a green aura and follow my soul through time? How could such a heaven-defying treasure be refined by a mere Qi-refining period monk like me? Is it because my master's cultivation level is too low, limiting the immortality? To give full play to the government’s capabilities?”
Liu Yu thought for a long time, but couldn't think of an answer. There was no way to verify these questions for the time being, so he had to put away these thoughts and stop worrying about them.
His soul fluttered slightly, and he took out a wooden box from the hut on the right and put the Bi Lingzhi in it. He took the wooden box with him and left the Immortal Mansion space with a thought.
Liu Yu Yuan Shen returned to his physical body. Although entering and exiting the Immortal Mansion was very mentally draining, he still managed to muster up the energy to run the "Wood Spirit Art" to refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
He has completed the fourth level of Qi refining, and it is estimated that he will break through to the fifth level in the next couple of days.
With the three spirit root qualifications, cultivating to the fifth level of Qi Refining at the age of eighteen is considered an average level in Yuanyang Sect. If this continues, there is hope to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining before the age of thirty.
The Yuanyang Sect stipulates that Heavenly Spirits and Foreign Spiritual Roots can directly become inner disciples, while other spiritual root monks must reach the seventh level of Qi Refining before the age of thirty before they can become inner disciples.
Inner disciples not only receive more elixirs and spirit stones every month, but their chances of obtaining foundation-building pills are much greater than those of the outer disciples.
Suddenly, there was a slight fluctuation in the restriction. Liu Yu guessed that he should be the person who succeeded him and took out the token to open the ban.
Looking out from inside, I saw a short man with an ordinary face holding a token in his hand and wearing the clothes of an outer disciple standing outside the ban.
Liu Yuping stepped forward to inquire and confirm the identity of the visitor.
After confirming the identity of the visitor, the handover was quickly completed, and then they said goodbye without too much politeness.
He Liu Yu patted the storage bag, and the standard flying sword "Cold Light Sword" issued by the sect appeared in the palm of his hand. The magic power he input increased in the blink of an eye to the size of ten feet. He jumped on the flying sword with a tip of his toes, and pinched the spell in his hand. It turned into a gray light and flew towards Qingquan Peak.
In the early morning sunshine, it disappeared among the mountains in a few blinks of an eye.
Liu Yu found an uninhabited barren mountain on the way, and the imperial envoy Han Guangjian dug a hole, threw the cloth bag containing the impurities of the alchemy into it, and then took off again.
