Tianyun Sect, Yam Garden behind Yanyue Peak
In the hut, Qiye carefully inspected the peeled pills.
After the experiment just now, he already knew the limit of his soul power:
Although he can emit 10,000 spider threads, he can accurately control up to about 3,000 spider threads, and more than 5,000 spider threads are in an unconscious state.
Alas~
After understanding the specific strength, Qiye sighed and withdrew his seven fingers with some regret.
Then, with three fast and precise fingers, he began to peel off the waste elixir...
"Hoo~"
An hour...
Qiye finally let out a long breath of success and lay down on the table tiredly.
At this moment, he felt that his mental strength was very exhausted, his head was dizzy and dizzy, as if he had been doing farm work for three days and three nights without eating or drinking, and he felt in extremely bad condition.
However, although he was very tired, looking at the small pile of crystal green and granular hillocks on the table, Qiye was very satisfied and all the efforts were worth it.
Twenty kilograms of waste elixir residue was peeled out of a small bowl of effective medicinal ingredients. It has to be said that for an outer disciple, this is simply a huge harvest.
After peeling off the waste elixir, Qiye started melting the elixir without any rush.
I was really too tired, so I hurriedly melted the pills in such a state. If I made a mistake, it would be a waste of my efforts.
Therefore, he, always cautious, decided:
Get some sleep first and regain your energy before talking.
After making a plan, Qiye lay down on his back with a relaxed mind, fell on the bed behind him and fell asleep.
…………
noon
After replenishing his energy and roasting the legs of a human-faced demon spider, and having a delicious meal, Qiye began to melt the elixir with great energy.
He took out the alchemy furnace and poured all the green pill grains into the alchemy furnace.
The top of the furnace was covered, and the spiritual power was released. The strong spiritual power completely enveloped the alchemy furnace, and then slowly penetrated into the alchemy furnace and ignited the fire.
"Huhuhu~" The fire burned vigorously and powerfully...
"It should be successful, right?"
Looking at the alchemy furnace that had been started, Qiye couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Although the alchemy furnace has been watered with my own blood for a month, coupled with my proficient alchemy skills, the success rate has increased from a few hundred percent before to one-tenth now. It can be said that it has achieved qualitative results. leap.
But, after all, nine out of ten cases will fail.
But even though he was worried, he still controlled his spiritual power with confidence and calmness. At the same time, he pulled out dozens of soul spider threads with his little finger and floated them into the alchemy furnace. His consciousness inspected the fusion of the elixirs in the furnace. Condition.
"Well, there are four elixirs on the left that are condensing and forming, the three on the right are still relatively idle, and the ones at the back don't seem to have changed yet... We need to allocate more spiritual power to the back..."
"The four on the left have been fused into the prototype of the elixir. If they are warmed with flames for a while, there should be no problem in forming the elixir..."
"The three on the right are also relatively smooth. The five on the back are a bit slow. It seems that more attention is needed..."
Qiye observed while controlling it.
At this moment, if any alchemist saw this scene, he would be shocked. The scene is no less than that of an eight-year-old child solving advanced mathematical formulas on the blackboard.
For more than an hour, Qiye stabilized the spiritual power output and closely watched all the conditions of the alchemy furnace:
Of the twelve elixirs, one failed to fuse during the fusion, and the remaining eleven were all successful.
This result really surprised him.
After the furnace went out, Qiye took out the elixir.
Eleven heart-strengthening pills barely reached the quality of "first-order low-grade".
There was nothing that could be done about it. Long before Dantong's disciples made elixirs, there were flaws in the handling of impurities in medicinal materials in every link.
Coupled with the failure in refining the elixir in the end and destroying most of the effective medicinal properties, it has become a foregone conclusion that the elixir will be useless.
Qiye cannot change again, and being able to strip out all the effective medicinal ingredients is already his ultimate achievement.
Looking at the elixir in his hand, he suddenly understood the reason.
As for the elixir that failed to melt and was burnt black, Qiye also found it quite strange.
The one that failed was one of the last five elixirs. It stands to reason that under the same environment and with the same spiritual power, five elixirs should have failed.
But one of the pills started to turn black strangely, and he had already noticed it when it changed.
However, when Qiye focused on strengthening his spiritual power and tried to use the elixir fire to suppress the black matter, he was surprised to find that the black matter was not affected by the elixir fire at all and continued to spread on the surface of the elixir. But the other four are not like this.
Finally, Qiye watched helplessly as the green pill slowly turned black.
Although the whole process was not long, it made him feel very worried.
After all, every elixir is made from raw materials that I worked hard to peel off waste elixirs!
It is really heartbreaking to see it disappear like this, as if it is like hard-earned hard-earned money, burning into ashes bit by bit.
"Kakaka~"
Qiye reluctantly crushed the black heart-strengthening pill into powder.
As for the reason for the failure, he still had no clue after thinking hard.
"Forget it, being able to fuse eleven pills is already very good. Maybe there are other ways to improve the success rate..."
Nanaya Ichiban comforted himself.
Then he took out the medicine bottle and packed the heart-strengthening pills, removed the pill-melting furnace, and poured the ashes on the table into the medicine field...
After doing all this, just when he was about to go back to his house to continue practicing, suddenly a paper crane from outside the valley flew in through the spiritual barrier...
"Strange? Elder Dantang only writes letters in the morning. Could it be that there is something urgent about the letter coming now?"
Qiye murmured in his heart, and in his doubts, the paper crane flew in front of him and stopped in his palm.
Open the stationery:
"In one month, our hall will lead the Dantong disciples to Beishan Great Medicine Valley to collect the elixir. We hope that all the disciples will keep preparing and gain something! - Dantang"
"It turns out that the Alchemy Hall organized its disciples to collect elixirs... How could I be notified of such a thing?"
After reading the notice, Qiye immediately said with some doubts:
I am just an outer disciple who has only started for a month, doing chores in the alchemy hall.
Although he holds the position of a medicine keeper, his status is probably not high enough to participate in activities with Dantong disciples.
This is not to blame for his suspicion, it is indeed the case: the position of the medicine keeper is, in the final analysis, a handyman for the outer disciples, while the Dantong disciples are all inner disciples, and their identities are completely different!
After a brief period of doubt, the young and mature Qiye guessed some of the possible reasons:
It is estimated that those Dantong disciples who are obsessed with alchemy and not involved in worldly affairs may not know how to dig for elixirs. The medicinal materials they need for alchemy on weekdays have been prepared by the alchemy hall.
For these Dantong disciples who refine the Young Master Dan, it is simply a normal thing to find the elixir but not know how to dig for it.
It's like someone who knows how to use a knife, and must be able to forge a knife and forge iron, so I want to find someone to start with...
Although I am not very willing to help these young men with chores.
But after all, the notice on the letterhead was delivered to me in the name of Dantang, so how could I ignore it.
If he refuses, wouldn't he directly offend Dantang? It would be tantamount to asking for trouble.
Forget it, just go...
Qiye knew that he would definitely not be able to refuse such a thing, so he simply accompanied these alchemy buddies to the Great Medicine Valley of Beishan.
The nerves that are sensitive to crisis stimulated him to chant the words "Beishan Great Medicine Valley".
I don’t know what kind of place it is. Is it really a valley full of medicinal herbs? still……
The more Qiye thought about it, the more he felt uneasy. He searched his memory and found nothing about Beishan Medicine Valley.
But then, he thought of a good place: the Outer Intelligence Pavilion.
His past experience told him: Not knowing anything is the biggest crisis.
As soon as he thought of it, he left. Qiye wanted to find out where Beishan Great Medicine Valley was.
And he also had a thought:
Wouldn't it be better if we could get some third- and fourth-grade elixirs in that big medicine valley... This would also save us a lot of money on buying medicinal materials, and we don't have to worry about being exposed after buying a large amount of medicine.
Thinking of this, Qiye felt a burst of joy in his heart, and he was vaguely looking forward to this trip to the Great Medicine Valley in Beishan.
about half an hour later
He came to the halfway point of Baizhang Peak at the outer gate
The Information Pavilion is located on the main road up the mountain, on a slightly elevated hillside near the martial arts training ground.
Climbing more than a hundred steps, the curtain of the Information Pavilion appears in front of you:
In front of the simple and heavy gate, there are two unique and lifelike lion piers, and the three-story pavilion with yellow tiles and glazed windows looks particularly quiet under the cover of the surrounding woods.
From time to time, disciples walked out of the attic in twos and threes, chatting and laughing, crossed the high threshold, and passed by Qiye.
"This is the Information Pavilion. It doesn't seem to be anything special..."
Qiye took a look at the entire building from the outside. It was just like an ordinary pavilion, and there was nothing particularly special about it.
Cross the threshold and enter the hall.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw that the top pillar, which was more than ten meters high, was covered with dense silver-white silk threads, which were three-thirds denser than the spider web.
Many jade slips the size of shells shuttled between them like weaving shuttles, passing various information back and forth.
It is like an overpass with a clear division of labor and its own way. Although it seems complicated, it is orderly, efficient and fast.
"Humanities...geography...secret history...commerce..."
Qiye muttered to himself as he thought about the dozen information classification boards hanging above his head.
At this moment, his impression of this information pavilion has really improved a lot.
Don't look at it. Although this information pavilion is not big, it looks ordinary but has a lot of things hidden inside. And the classification is very detailed. As the saying goes, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
It can be seen from the jade slips flashing on the silk thread that the information pavilion is running at high speed all the time.
Qiye came to the counter according to the information he wanted to find.
The only woman in the attic who seemed to be in charge of the bookkeeping was dressed in red and was fiddling with a jade slip in boredom.
"This little brother, does he want to buy information?"
When the woman saw Qiye coming, her face lit up, and then she straightened her chest and asked in a soft voice.
"Hmm, um, um... I want something about Beishan Great Medicine Valley. Do you have it here?"
Qiye looked at the woman's curvy figure, scratched the tip of his head, and said with a somewhat embarrassed yawn.
The woman in front of me looks to be in her twenties and well developed:
The dress as bright as petals wraps the slender waist. The slit under the dress revealed her fair and slender jade legs, revealing her bone-crushing tenderness.
Those pair of willow-browed and phoenix-shaped eyes radiate a lively "flame", which is directly appealing to people's hearts and extremely charming. She has a slim figure, high and protruding breasts, plump and firm, and her waterfall-like long hair flutters in the wind, emitting a light and elegant fragrance.
Just by taking a deep look, Qiye felt that this woman was even more beautiful than Yan Wan from Dantang.
This kind of beauty is another kind of temperament that Yan Wan does not possess: sexy, charming, and seductive.
