"The key point of alchemy lies in the timing of throwing each spiritual grass into the alchemy furnace, as well as the ability to control fire and the actual opportunity to collect the elixir." Jiang Yun looked at the elixir recipe again and thought in his mind.
The first thing Jiang Yun wanted to refine was Qi Gathering Powder, which was the simplest of the first-level elixirs and also the lowest cost.
The cost of a furnace of elixirs is only 10 spiritual stones. The main material is Yuandan grass, which requires 20 years of cultivation, and three auxiliary materials ranging from 5 to 10 years.
Jiang Yun finally checked the medicinal materials again and started refining them. Since there is no earth fire here, Jiang Yun specially brought all the spiritual pets.
"Qing Huo, spray fire under the alchemy furnace for me until I tell you to stop!" Jiang Yun began to squeeze Qing Huo, who was less than four years old.
Qinghuo, who was less than four years old, didn't know what he was going to face in the future, so he thought his master asked him to play a fire-breathing game. He happily ran to the alchemy furnace, opened his mouth and sprayed spiritual fire into the bottom of the furnace.
The color of the spiritual fire emitted by Qinghuo is very special, it is light cyan. Jiang Yun sensed it with his spiritual consciousness, and the temperature was much higher than Jiang Yun's own spiritual fire technique.
"Let the fire be smaller." Jiang Yun said after sensing the temperature for a while.
Qing Huo obeyed obediently and reduced the firepower.
After the alchemy furnace reached and maintained at the standard temperature, Jiang Yun used the object control technique with his left hand, pointing his two fingers upward, and the lid of the alchemy furnace rose upwards.
Then he made a secret with his right hand and used the object control technique to throw the two auxiliary materials into a small space in the alchemy furnace. Then move the fingers of your left hand down to cover the stove lid.
Since then, Jiang Yun has been using his spiritual consciousness to sense the situation of the spiritual materials in the alchemy furnace.
In Jiang Yun's perception, the two auxiliary materials were gradually refined into liquid medicine by the spiritual fire, and then flowed to a place.
When the refining of these two auxiliary materials was close to 60%, Jiang Yun opened the furnace cover again, put in the main material Yuandancao, and put it into a small space in another elixir furnace. Then close the lid.
Then when the two auxiliary materials were 80% refined and the Yuandan grass was 50% refined, Jiang Yun opened the furnace cover again and put in the last auxiliary material, which was also a separate small space. The liquids in several spaces were poured into one Local inflows converge.
After closing the lid of the furnace, and then making seals with both hands at the same time, a certain mechanism of the alchemy furnace was activated, and the entire alchemy furnace became sealed. Jiang Yun's consciousness was also unable to sense the internal situation.
Then he asked Qing Huo to increase the firepower, increasing it by about 20%. The clever Qing Huo easily controlled the power of the spiritual fire.
Jiang Yun waited patiently. Counting the time.
When all the elixirs are put into the elixir furnace, the elixir furnace must enter a sealed state before it can be condensed into elixirs. After that, only experience can be used to control the heat and determine the timing of opening the furnace. Nothing else can be done.
A stick of incense has passed. Jiang Yun felt almost done. Then he made a hand seal and opened the alchemy furnace. Qing Huo stopped spraying the spiritual fire upon seeing this.
Jiang Yun looked into the alchemy furnace expectantly. There was only one round gray pill in the pill furnace, and the rest were all black medicine dregs.
Jiang Yun used the object control technique to take out the elixir and found that the elixir was barely qualified.
In the Government Hall, one Qi Gathering Powder can be sold for 5 quick spirit stones. But Jiang Yun estimated that he could only sell three spiritual stones at most because the quality was so poor.
"The first furnace lost seven spiritual stones." Jiang Yun recorded the first account in his heart. Then he sat down cross-legged and began to review in his head.
After ten breaths, prepare to start the second furnace of refining, clean the alchemy furnace, and then say to Qinghuo.
"Green fire, keep spraying, the firepower is a little less than last time."
The boring alchemy career begins...
Two months later, the closed stone door finally opened. Jiang Yun walked out with a normal expression.
What followed was Qing Huo, who looked suspicious of life, and a dozen golden meteor undead bugs, but these bugs walked crookedly, as if they had no strength.
Overall, I am quite satisfied with this alchemy. Not only did I not lose money, I also made a little profit. Jiang Yun did some calculations and added that a large number of elixirs in his spiritual field were about to be harvested, as well as the spiritual fires of his spiritual pets, so there was no need to rent the earth fire room in the clan, and he also saved a lot of spiritual stones.
Jiang Yun announced to the spirit pets that they could have a good rest. The spirit pets were instantly resurrected, Qing Huo made strange screams, and the spirit insects also looked happy.
Then Jiang Yun said it would continue the day after tomorrow, and suddenly there was a lot of wailing. Qing Huo even lay down at Jiang Yun's feet and made a pitiful sound.
But Jiang Yun remained unmoved. Anything that affects his ability to earn spiritual stones is not allowed.
Besides, most of the spirit stones earned have become food and training resources for the spirit pets. They also have to work hard.
Then he went to his parents' bamboo house to tell his mother that he was safe.
Coincidentally, just after taking a few steps, he received a message from his father, asking Jiang Yun to go to the bamboo house to find them.
Arriving at the bamboo house, Jiang Yun found that his parents looked a little solemn. Neither party spoke.
Jiang Yun silently walked to the side and sat down without saying a word. In the end, Father Jiang spoke first.
"Yun'er is already grown up. I think there is no need to hide this from him, so I'd better tell the truth. You can't always treat him like a child."
After a moment of silence, the mother sighed and began to tell.
It turns out that my mother has decided to go to a place called the Bloody Forbidden Land.
Mother said that except for the extremely talented Tianlinggen who can build a foundation without a foundation-building pill, other monks need a foundation-building pill to have a higher probability of building a foundation.
Ordinary monks who have completed their Qi training period have about a 20-30% chance of successfully building a foundation. With a foundation-building pill, this can be increased by another 30%. If the qualifications are too poor, more foundation-building pills are needed.
In the entire Xu Kingdom, the only place where the spiritual materials needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill grow is the Bloody Forbidden Land.
The Bloody Forbidden Land is opened every 60 years, and can only be entered by those who have cultivated during the Qi training period. The next opening will be in a month.
The Bloody Forbidden Land is controlled by the seven sects of the Xu Kingdom. These seven sects are: Hidden Moon Sect, Yellow Maple Valley, Spirit Beast Mountain, Qingxu Sect, Giant Sword Sect, Huadaowu, and Tianque Fort.
Each faction has at least one Nascent Soul stage old monster. The entire Xu Kingdom was under their control.
Other forces cannot enter the Bloody Forbidden Land without the consent of the seven sects. Fortunately, the Jiang family has a close relationship with Spirit Beast Mountain.
Spirit Beast Mountain agreed that the Jiang family could send four people to enter as Spirit Beast Mountain disciples.
He also promised that if he picked enough spiritual materials from four old plants, he could exchange them for a foundation-building pill.
As long as the disciples of the seven sects can come out alive, they can get one. The treatment of the two is obviously different.
In fact, mother and father had saved a lot of contribution points before, and wanted to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill from Spirit Beast Mountain at a high price through their family.
However, Spirit Beast Mountain informed me that the last time I went to the Scarlet Forbidden Land, due to the small amount of a certain kind of spiritual material for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, the number of Foundation Establishment Pills refined this time was four or five times less than before.
Therefore, out of the four Foundation Establishment Pills that could be sold to the Jiang family every 20 years in the past, there were only three this time.
Although Yu Wenqing and Jiang Jingchen became a Taoist couple. But after all, his surname was not Jiang, so Yu Wenqing was the first to be excluded from the family.
Jiang Yun felt very heavy when he heard this. He seemed to have thought of something and asked.
"Since the Scarlet Forbidden Land is opened this time, we can get a batch of foundation-building pill materials right away. Why not wait until the elixir refining is started this time before asking the family to find a way to buy two more pills?"
The mother shook her head with a wry smile and said: "For some reason, the seven major sects only started refining the Foundation Establishment Pill twenty years after the opening of the Blood Forbidden Land.
The foundation-building pills obtained by the disciples of the seven major sects who came out alive in the Bloody Forbidden Land were all refined from the previous batch. "
"Not to mention that it may not be my turn in 20 years. Your mother and I are already 40 years old this year. I simply cannot wait 20 years."
