In a cave on the south bank of Lingyun Peak in Taihe Mountain, Su Fan sat in front of an alchemy furnace and looked at it nervously. After waiting for half an hour, he made a magic spell and opened the pill furnace, only to see a light yellow dripping pill spinning in the furnace.
"call!"
With a smile on his face, he breathed a sigh of relief slowly.
"It's finally done. I didn't expect that this middle-grade Bigu Pill would be so difficult to practice."
After the Su family left, Su Fan rented a cave and started his alchemy career.
Because his family has the inheritance of alchemy, Su Fan also made a copy before.
So in the past two or three months, Su Fan has been trying to refine elixirs. The first-order low-grade elixir is not difficult. Su Fan has made several furnaces after just a few attempts, but the first-order low-grade elixir is not difficult at all. valuable.
Generally, those who can refine a first-level low-grade elixir can only be regarded as alchemy apprentices. The market simply does not accept first-order low-grade elixirs.
What Su Fan is trying now is the first-order middle-grade spiritual elixir Bigu Pill.
As a first-level mid-grade elixir, Bigu Pill is still in great demand in the market. Some monks like to eat spiritual rice and spiritual fruit to fill their stomachs.
But there are more monks who don't like trouble. A Bigu Pill can save you from hunger for several days.
Very suitable for some monks who like to retreat.
Moreover, this Bigu Pill is also valuable, one piece is worth one spiritual stone.
Su Fan has now refined a Bigu Pill in one furnace, and the success rate is only 10%. It must be a loss. After all, the cost of refining a Bigu Pill is at least a little more than two spiritual stones.
If you don't want to lose money, generally the elixir success rate must reach at least 30%.
Monks usually make ten pills in a furnace. Some special alchemy masters can use special pill techniques to refine the materials used to make ten pills into twelve pills without losing efficacy. .
Of course, Su Fan doesn't have this ability for the time being. He can just barely refine a Bigu Pill now.
However, even if he lost money, he had become a first-level mid-level alchemist.
A first-level mid-level alchemist, even though he can only refine a first-level mid-level elixir such as Bigu Pill, he is also a first-level mid-level alchemist.
It usually takes nearly ten years for an ordinary alchemist to reach this stage. He was able to upgrade his alchemy skills to the first-level mid-level in just a few years. Needless to say, his talent.
Of course, the greater effect is that Su Fan has a plug-in. He has abilities that others do not have. In the evolution space of the sea of consciousness in the Universal Mirror, he can try to continuously refine elixirs.
Although it is illusory, it also strengthens a bit of hands-on ability.
This is also how he can shorten this process.
Of course, this is also thanks to the fact that in the last Tang Dynasty world, he also took more hands-on efforts and refined some elixirs. Although most of the elixirs in the previous world were ordinary elixirs, they were almost comparable to the low-grade elixirs in this world.
Traveling through those worlds as a soul can also be regarded as strengthening one's ability to make alchemy.
Now that he has refined the Bigu Pill, he only needs to increase the rate of pill production, and then the Bigu Pill can earn him spiritual stones.
Of course, Su Fan was not satisfied with Bigu Pill.
The Bigu Pill is the simplest among the first-level middle-grade elixirs, and its price is considered very ordinary.
According to his estimation, if his alchemy skills have not been improved to the first-level high-grade level, his elixir-making rate will only be around 60 to 70% at most.
As for 100%, that’s difficult.
So in order to increase profits, he wanted to refine some other first-order mid-grade elixirs, such as Huangya Dan.
Huangya Dan is made from Huangya grass as the main medicine. It is used as an auxiliary medicine to assist four first-level elixirs. It is suitable for monks in the middle and late stages of Qi training and can increase the monks' magic power.
Most popular among casual cultivators.
Taking a Huangya Dan and refining the spiritual energy is equivalent to one or two months of meditation for monks in the middle stage of Qi training, so many monks in the middle and late stages of Qi training are eager to do it.
One Huangya Dan requires almost five spiritual stones.
As long as Su Fan's elixir formation rate can reach 40%, he can earn five or six spiritual stones from a batch of Huangya elixir.
The higher the elixir success rate, the greater the profit he earns.
However, both Huangya Pill and Bigu Pill are first-level middle-grade elixirs, but the difficulty of refining them is different.
"It's better to refine a batch of Bigu Pills first, otherwise I'm afraid I won't even be able to buy yellow bud grass by then."
Su Fan thought a lot, but the reality made him understand that he could not achieve success in one step, and the cost of refining the elixir for two or three months was not small for Su Fan.
Without the support provided by his family, Su Fan had to rely on himself to try to refine the elixir materials.
Those are also spiritual stones.
Especially when he refined the first-level low-grade spiritual elixir, he could not turn it into profit. As for refining the bigu elixir, he even failed many furnaces. These are spiritual stones that have been paid for without any gain.
It was also thanks to the fact that he had more than a hundred spiritual stones in his hand, and those spiritual herbs before were not very valuable. Otherwise, he really might not be able to persevere.
Of course, now that you have become a first-level mid-level alchemist, as long as your elixir-making rate increases, you will be able to earn spiritual stones immediately.
"Looks like I'm going out to buy a batch of Chiho rice."
Qianhui rice is a kind of spiritual rice, which is more precious than Yuzhen rice. It is also the main medicine for refining Bigu Pill.
Next, he needs to refine a large amount of Bigu Pills, and naturally he will continue to buy some more.
Now he still has about fifty pieces of spiritual stones in his hand, which can be used to refine about twenty furnaces.
He must increase his elixir formation rate to 30% within ten furnaces.
Fortunately, the Bigu Pill can be refined, and it will be easier to increase the rate of pill production.
He was already very good at controlling spiritual fire. After all, in his previous life, he often made alchemy, and his control over the flame was no worse than those alchemists who had been there for decades.
This is one of the reasons why he improved so quickly.
There were so many refining failures before, that is, in the last step of alchemy, the Dan Controlling Art and the Order Acquisition Art, which he was not very familiar with, so that led to the failure.
But now he is getting more and more familiar with it.
Qianho rice is easy to buy in Taihefang City. Su Fan can buy it from a spiritual rice store. This store specializes in selling various spiritual rice, first-class, and even second-class spiritual rice. All.
It is said that the owner behind this thousand-meter shop is not ordinary. It seems to be the Li family of Guangyuan County.
After coming to Taihe Mountain for so long, Su Fan also learned more about Zheng State and even some information about Zheng State's surrounding countries from many casual cultivators.
Guangyuan County is one of the three northern counties of Zheng State, located 30,000 miles southwest of Taihe Mountain.
The Li family in Guangyuan County is one of the eight major Zifu families in the Zheng Kingdom. There is currently a fourth-level Zifu monk in the family, and there seem to be about a dozen foundation-building monks.
Among the immortal cultivating families in Zheng, he is also at the forefront.
It is far from comparable to the Su family today.
Of course, the Li family was powerful and there was no threat to Su Fan. He didn't buy things without giving him money.
On the contrary, the bigger the Li family is, the more confident he is when he buys spiritual rice, and he will not be subject to random investigations, because such forces do not look down on a small 'casual cultivator' like him, and will not ask him why he buys Qianho rice.
This is one of the reasons why Su Fan chose this store.
