To Cultivate Immortality, You Need Luck

Chapter 77 First time entering Alchemy Dao

Absorbing the essence of heaven and earth is risky.

The essence of blooming silver is ranked twenty in character, so naturally he is also very domineering.

Under Kong Jiao's gaze, he watched the silver light slowly cover Shangguan Yuzhou's skin. In less than three or five breaths, it completely turned into bright silver, making him look like a silver man.

Fortunately, Kong Jiao had complete confidence in Shangguan Yuzhou's talent. He only looked at it a few times and looked away after finding that there was no big problem.

"Absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, it can take as short as half a day or as long as three days. If you have nothing to do, let me have some fun."

Whispering, Kong Jiao seemed to have thought of something interesting.

He patted the storage bag on his waist with his palm and shook out all the elixirs he had snatched from the disciples of the Blood Clothes Alliance, as well as the miscellaneous Spirit Medicine collected a few days ago, with a cheerful look on his face.

Of course, there are also two alchemy furnaces whose quality is not very good at first glance.

There are seven elixir recipes in total, and only one is a top-grade elixir recipe, which is the Guyuan elixir he mentioned before.

The so-called high-quality medicine refers to the value of the refined medicine, which can already help the monks in the Wheel-Nurturing Late Stage.

The elixirs that only have an effect on the middle and early stages of Wheel-Nurturing are unqualified.

Of course, the entry level is only First Grade, which corresponds to the Wheel-Nurturing Realm world.

The Second Grade elixir corresponds to the realm of ascending the wheel.

Third Grade elixirs correspond to the realm of palm life.

And so on.

Once the elixir enters the market, its value skyrockets by more than ten times.

Don't look at the seven elixir prescriptions, but only one is a high-grade elixir.

That one piece is worth the value of the remaining six.

Whether the elixir can be sold as a high-quality medicine is also a reflection of the level of the alchemist.

Although Kong Jiao now has more than 20 years of alchemy knowledge in his mind, there is still a gap between theory and practice.

It is almost impossible to refine a high-quality elixir from the very beginning.

"It's better to do it step by step, don't waste Spirit Medicine." With Ge Feng's Alchemy Dao knowledge as a foundation, Kong Jiao was very safe and was not in a hurry to refine the Guyuan Pill.

Instead, focus on the remaining six pill prescriptions.

Each of the six elixirs has its own effect, but only two elixir recipes are most valuable to Kong Jiao.

A nourishing Qi Pill has the effect of improving the cultivation level of Wheel-Nurturing Realm monks in the middle and lower stages of Wheel-Nurturing.

But only the first three pills are effective. Each time one is taken, the effect is halved.

One Qi Pill is for monks in the middle stage of Wheel-Nurturing and below. Taking it can restore spiritual power.

It has the same effect as Spirit Returning Liquid.

It’s just that the Spirit Returning fluid is of higher quality.

Kong Jiao plans to start his own journey as an alchemist with these two elixir prescriptions.

But it's not just what he wants to refine, it depends on whether the medicinal materials contain the medicines required for these two elixirs.

Kong Jiao rummaged through the scattered medicinal materials. According to the memory in his mind, he only collected the medicinal materials for Qi Pill.

"I think some of the Spirit Medicine was specially collected by the blood-clothed alliance disciples who raised Qi Pill, so it gave me an advantage."

Kong Jiao, who roughly guessed the reason, smiled softly.

Then he took the elixir recipe and placed it in front of him. After studying it twice, he analyzed the steps of refining Qi Pill one by one based on Ge Feng's elixir knowledge and experience in his mind.

After having some mental notes, I just took one of the two rough pill furnaces.

Inject Entering Spirit into the alchemy furnace.

There is a special formation in the alchemy furnace that converts spiritual power into the fuel needed for alchemy. This is the most basic ability of an alchemy furnace.

So the moment Kong Jiao's spiritual power came into contact with the alchemy furnace formation.

"Poof!" A faint blue flame rose from the alchemy furnace.

Feeling the increasingly hot temperature of the alchemy furnace, when the temperature rose to a certain limit, Kong Jiao opened the furnace lid and threw in the first medicine.

His skilled movements seemed like he had experienced them thousands of times.

When the essence of the first medicinal material has been refined and the aroma of the medicinal material is released, Kong Jiao judges that the heat is about the same and throws in the second medicinal material.

Every time medicine is put into the alchemy furnace, there is strict time control. According to the different fire resistance of each medicine, if you are a little careless, these medicines will be useless.

Fortunately, thanks to Ge Feng's experience, the first two steps went smoothly.

This continued until all the medicinal materials were dispensed. Kong Jiao, who placed his hands on the spiritual energy injection point of the alchemy furnace, could judge by the medicinal fragrance emitting from the alchemy furnace that the medicinal power of all the medicinal materials had been refined.

"It's time to start!" Kong Jiao murmured immediately, and activated his spiritual power again, passing through the formation of the alchemy furnace and pouring directly into the furnace.

Use spiritual power to control the medicinal materials that have been refined to produce medicinal effects, purify them repeatedly, and discharge the unnecessary medicinal residue from the slag discharge port of the alchemy furnace.

Then start the most important step.

Cast elixir.

Control the essence of the medicinal materials left in the alchemy furnace, and use the firepower of the alchemy furnace to fuse their medicinal effects together until the elixir is completed.

This step is the most difficult and the one that most tests the alchemist's skills.

If there is a slight mistake, all previous efforts will be in vain.

Even the steps of making the elixir will directly affect the quality of the elixir.

Perhaps it was because Kong Jiao's spiritual power was too cold. When he was refining it for the first time, he failed to control the amount of spiritual power. The cold air poured into the alchemy furnace, causing the essence of the medicinal materials that had not yet been fully integrated to melt directly. Formed under Bingsen's spiritual power.

"Oops, the elixir was formed too quickly, and the effects of the medicine haven't been fully integrated yet!" Kong Jiao was shocked when he saw this scene.

But the elixir was not destroyed, which proved that the furnace elixir was not useless.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and complete the refining of the furnace pill.

After burning a stick of incense, a faint medicinal fragrance emitted from the alchemy furnace. Kong Jiao removed the remaining spiritual power in the alchemy furnace. He pressed his hand on the lid of the furnace and silently counted the time to turn on the furnace.

"one two three!"

After counting to three, Kong Jiao opened the alchemy furnace.

Five green pills with rough surfaces were lying quietly in the pill furnace.

"It's done!" Kong Jiao, who didn't expect that he could succeed the first time, immediately picked up the elixir in the furnace with bright eyes.

But when he put them in his hands and saw their quality clearly, the joy on his face was a little less, and he muttered: "It doesn't even have a basic red color, this is a Low Grade product."

The first time I made the medicine, I didn't fail, but the quality was not very good. It was Low Grade and only 30% to 40% effective.

Only pills that retain 60% of their efficacy can be considered passing.

Of course, even so, these pills can still be sold for money.

Kong Jiao collected them casually. Regardless of their poor quality, Ashen Parasol Sect, there are many disciples who would be willing to pay for these five elixirs.

After putting away the elixir, Kong Jiao did not immediately start the second batch of refining. There were only two parts of the medicinal materials needed to nourish Qi Pill.

In other words, he only has two chances left.

He immediately analyzed the elixir-making process and murmured softly: "It is definitely due to my spiritual power. It was too cold and the elixir-making process ended prematurely. The elixir was not fully integrated before the medicinal power was fully integrated. It is strange that the quality is good. .”

"The control of spiritual power is still not detailed enough. When casting elixirs, the amount of spiritual power cannot be too much, nor can it be too concentrated. It must be carefully controlled."

Kong Jiao recalled the steps of refining the elixir several times in his mind. With experience, Kong Jiao immediately opened the furnace and made the second furnace.

The second time was smoother, right up to the elixir casting stage.

Kong Jiao has very carefully controlled the amount of spiritual energy injected, and deliberately dispersed it to prevent it from affecting the elixirs in the alchemy furnace.

But the firepower of the alchemy furnace was still a little cold and unable to suppress his spiritual power.

It only lasted five or six breaths longer than before.

It becomes a pill.

Probably due to the five or six extra breaths, the quality of the second furnace was 20-30% better than before, retaining 60% of the potency.

It’s considered a passing grade.

Kong Jiao was satisfied when he looked at the Yang Qi Pill, which was darker in color and had a slightly green and smooth red color on the palm.

That layer of smooth red clothing is called red color

"Oh, the whole process went smoothly, but the spiritual power of my frost and snow spirit is too overbearing. I can obviously refine higher quality pills."

The problems that trouble other alchemists are always the process of refining medicinal materials and the possibility that the elixir may collapse at any time when casting the elixir.

When it comes to Kong Jiao, all the problems are no problem, it becomes a problem of his spiritual power.

Kong Jiao, who did not believe in evil, started the third and final furnace again.

This time, he was almost at full strength, controlling the injection of spiritual power with high concentration.

Over and over again, he used deliberately lowered spiritual power to impact the formed elixir, making the medicinal effects more closely integrated, and finally he could hold on for three more breaths than before.

The quality of this furnace has also reached 65%.

Danyi became smoother.

"The control of spiritual power is still too rough. After returning to the Ashen Parasol Sect, let's practice slowly." Putting away the last batch of elixirs, Kong Jiao ended his first alchemy.

There are also fourteen more Qi Pills in his pocket.

The quality of these nourishing pills is too low and Kong Jiao will not take them.

He should take at least 70% of the potency of the pill before taking it. After all, taking the first pill of Yang Qi Pill has the best effect.

Refining elixirs is an extremely time-consuming activity. Elder Zhou Shangxiang had to wait for two months for a pot of elixirs.

Even if the Qi Pill is not finished, it has been half a day since the Kong Jiao was boiled for three times.

On the other side, Shangguan Yuzhou's refining of the Spirit Blooming Essence is also nearing completion.

Boom! Two rays of silver burst out from Shangguan Yuzhou's eyes, bombarding the rock mass on one side of the vein, and punched two fist-sized holes.

Shangguan Yuzhou completely refined the essence of blooming silver.

His cultivation level is stronger than before. Facts have proved that absorbing the essence of heaven and earth can improve his cultivation level.

"Congratulations! Senior Brother Shangguan, with the Jingyu Wheel." Kong Jiao, who had been waiting for a long time, put away the alchemy furnace and immediately greeted him with a smile.

"I want to thank Junior Brother Kong. If you hadn't saved me and brought me to this mine, I wouldn't have been able to find this silver-splitting essence." Shangguan Yuzhou looked at Kong Jiao's good temperament and was quite moved. He bowed his hand.

Shangguan Yuzhou naturally did not realize that the acquisition of this silver-splitting essence was entirely guided by his own chance.

Kong Jiao is too lazy to explain such illusory things. Some people may not believe it.

So he just shook his head with a smile and said nothing more.

Instead, he glanced at the entrance to the mine and said softly: "It's time for us to leave."
