Mortals' aspirations to cultivate immortality

"No wonder it's not easy to train an alchemist. Only big families can afford it." Lin Yi sighed sincerely as he looked at the pile of ashes next to the alchemy furnace.

It took him five days to refine all the medicinal materials, but the success rate was shockingly low.

At the beginning, he needed to refine about twenty spiritual herbs to succeed once.

After many times, his success rate gradually increased.

Even so, he has been refining hundreds of spiritual herbs, and the success rate in the end is only stable at 10% and 20% and 3%.

If you want to continue to improve, you must have more spiritual herbs to refine.

But now the mature spiritual herbs have been refined by him, and the remaining batch will have to wait until nine days later.

That is to say, Lin Yi has the magical round bead, otherwise, with his current strength, it is unknown how many years it will take to collect so many spiritual herbs.

"The next step is to start condensing into pills." Lin Yi looked at the large number of jade boxes stored on the other side. These are the liquid medicine he refined this time.

"After calculation, there are only eleven spiritual liquids for the Light Spirit Pill!" Lin Yi was speechless.

This material of the Light Spirit Pill spiritual liquid can be used to refine ten Light Spirit Pills, and one Light Spirit Pill is only worth one low-grade spiritual stone.

Even if all these spiritual liquid materials are successfully refined, there are only one hundred and ten pills, worth one hundred and ten spiritual stones.

And the spiritual herbs consumed by Lin Yi to obtain these spiritual liquids are as many as five or six hundred.

A spiritual herb that is more than ten years old is worth at least one low-grade spiritual stone.

And it is impossible for Lin Yi to successfully refine all those spiritual liquids into Light Spirit Pills. It is good to have a success rate of half in the end.

In other words, Lin Yi spent five or six hundred spiritual stones worth of spiritual herbs, and in the end, he could get at most fifty or sixty Light Spirit Pills worth.

This input and output is simply heartbreaking and tearful.

In this way, Lin Yi knew more about the preciousness of the magical round bead.

And this magical round bead is also the support for him to go further on the road of cultivating immortals.

Lin Yi meditated on the spot to restore his mana and consciousness to the best state, and then began the steps of refining the elixir.

While injecting mana to activate the magic array on the alchemy furnace, he used his consciousness to control the spiritual liquid to merge and refine in the alchemy furnace.

However, no matter how careful Lin Yi was, what he got in the end was still a pile of ashes.

After a second try, Lin Yi was not discouraged and continued to refine the elixir.

This condensation of the elixir is completely different from purification. Even though Lin Yi has experience in purification, he still wastes a lot of materials in this condensation of the eleven materials.

Lin Yi finally succeeded in refining only two.

"Condensation!" Lin Yi shouted angrily. Seeing the success of the last one, he couldn't help but wonder whether he was happy or upset.

He spent six days on the spiritual herbs worth five or six hundred spirit stones, and finally only got twenty light spirit pills and a pile of ashes.

"Huh?" After Lin Yi took out the last furnace of Qingling Pills, he looked at one of them in surprise.

The other Qingling Pills were all milky white, but this one was white with a hint of gold, and the medicinal fragrance it exuded was even stronger than the other nine Qingling Pills.

"Top-grade Pill!" Lin Yi quickly thought of this name in his mind.

Pills are also divided into grades, according to the amount of pill poison. The most are waste pills, which cannot be used at all.

Then there are low-grade pills, medium-grade pills, high-grade pills, and top-grade pills.

However, the pill poison itself is very small, and the top-grade, medium-grade, and low-grade pills taste the same, so they are not too in-depth.

But the top-grade pill is different. The top-grade pill has no pill poison at all, and its medicinal effect is more than ten times that of ordinary pills.

The medicinal effect is so strong, but the requirements of the user do not need to be improved. Top-grade pills are often used as pills to break through bottlenecks.

After all, if a low-level cultivator takes a pill that only high-level cultivators can take, it is easy to cause the body to explode and die.

Unexpectedly, he refined a top-grade pill for the first time. Lin Yi, who was originally a little sad because he thought the materials were too wasteful, suddenly became happy.

Any pill that can break through the bottleneck is not worth ordinary pills at all.

Ordinary Qingling Pill is worth one low-grade spirit stone, while the top-grade Qingling Pill is directly doubled by a hundred times and is worth one hundred low-grade spirit stones.

Although it cannot make back the capital, it also reduces a lot of losses for Lin Yi.

Unfortunately, the refining of top-grade pills depends purely on luck. Even the top alchemists cannot guarantee that they can refine top-grade pills.

After collecting all these pills, Lin Yi began to think about his next plan.

Now he is suffering from pill poisoning and urgently needs a marrow cleansing pill to detoxify the pill.

But he still has several kinds of spiritual herbs needed for the marrow cleansing pill that he has not obtained.

Should I continue to search for seeds everywhere in Shengxian Square, or cultivate some high-year spiritual herbs to exchange for a marrow cleansing pill?

Lin Yi planned to do both. Now that he had nothing to do, he got up early and went to Shengxian Square every day to look for spiritual herbs or their seeds needed for the marrow cleansing pill.

It was a pity that Lin Yi had no news about a spiritual herb called chicken blood grass.

Lin Yi had no choice but to run around all the major shops again, and finally got a piece of news that made him collapse.

"Chicken blood grass is an important material for refining foundation-building pills. Generally, only large sects grow it and it will not flow into the market."

Now Lin Yi knows why the marrow cleansing pill is so expensive. The foundation-building pill is worth tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones, and it is still in short supply. Once it appears, it will be snatched up.

It is a bit unreasonable to leave the foundation-building pill alone and use it to refine the marrow cleansing pill.

In this way, Lin Yi can only cultivate a very valuable spirit grass himself to exchange for the marrow cleansing pill.

After making up his mind, Lin Yi stopped running around. He sold the top-grade light spirit pill in exchange for a book on the true solution of basic spells, and then he settled down.

While using the mysterious ball to ripen the spirit herbs, he started to refine pills when there were enough spirit herbs. If there were no materials, he would start to practice spells.

Now Lin Yi has a clear understanding of the ripening ability of the round bead, which can make four spirit herbs reach a hundred years old at a time.

It's strange to say that even if all the water used to soak the round beads is used to water a single spiritual herb, a hundred years is the limit.

So Lin Yi uses a quarter of it every seven days to ripen a spiritual herb, and the rest is used to ripen other spiritual herbs.

As for spells, Lin Yi chose to practice a spell called fireball spell, which is exactly the same as the fireball Huang Furen used to hit him, but it is smaller and more powerful.

What disappointed Lin Yi again was that he had poor talent for cultivation and poor talent for practicing spells.

Seventy days later, Lin Yi turned his attention to the spiritual herbs in the yard that exuded strong spiritual energy and medicinal fragrance.
