Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 168 Getting Started with Landslide, Refining Tongyou Pill (Please ask for a monthly ticket!)

Time flies, and with a flick of a finger, three days pass by in a hurry.

After refining chalcedony pill in the afternoon, Luo Chen did not go to the wasteland under Huiye Mountain to practice spells.

Instead, he stayed in the alchemy hall and watched the refining of bigu powder from rice grains.

With a large supply of raw materials, the refining technology of bigu powder for rice grains can be regarded as a breakthrough.

Out of ten times, I was able to succeed two to three times.

If it is put into the system, it should be a perfect evaluation of proficiency.

Luo Chen was very satisfied with Mi Li's progress.

The profit of bigu powder is not high, and the market competition is extremely fierce.

The purpose of refining Bigu Powder is not to make money, but to meet the current internal use of Luo Tianhui.

It's winter, and the activities of the monks are greatly affected.

Although the Lianyun Merchant League took the opportunity to occupy the original Lingyuanzhai market, and transported a lot of Lingmi from other places to sell.

But for now, it can't satisfy the tens of thousands of casual cultivators left in Dahefang.

In Luo Tianhui, many monks also suffered from it.

In this case, Dantang can provide Bigusan at a low price, which is very popular.

Compared with whole grains, Bigu San, which contains a little spiritual energy and can fill the stomach, is much better.

After the rice grains, it was Tang Quan who made the Zhongmiao Wan.

At this time, Mi Li, who had washed his hands clean, led a little boy and stood on the sidelines.

Luo Chen put his hands behind his back and looked calm.

"How many times is this?"

"I don't know, but there must have been hundreds of times!"

"After so many refinements, none of them succeeded? Can he really do it?"

"Who knows, after all, Uncle Tang Quan is an elder who has a high position and authority."

"But the president doesn't feel sorry for such a waste of medicinal materials?"

Fragmentary voices of discussion came from the helping pharmacists and pyrotechnic workers.

Even though Tang Quan had already gotten used to it, he felt a little sad at the moment.

This is Dantang, the last raw material of Zhongmiaowan!
If he fails again, Luo Chen, the president, will not bother with this pill in the future.

Everyone knows that now Luo Tianhui's focus is entirely on the chalcedony pill.

Thinking of these things, Tang Quan began to refine Zhongmiao Wan.

Halfway through the process, a slightly burnt smell came out.

It is so familiar!
Tang Quan's heart sank.

At this moment, Luo Chen pulled him behind.

"Look, this is how Zhongmiao Pills are refined."

"I will only demonstrate this last time. If you still fail in the future, it will prove that you really don't have alchemy talent."

After taking over from Tang Quan, Luo Chen injected a piece of spiritual power into the Purple Cloud Copper Furnace.

The entry of spiritual power into the furnace first prevented the further dissolution of the medicinal power.

Separate first, then fuse!
Luo Chen's hands and fingers were flying like flowers, chic and freehand.

Everyone was dazzled by the sight, and felt that there was a world of difference from before Tang Quan.

Luo Chen didn't care about these things, his mind was all in the pill furnace, and he used his spiritual power from time to time.

The pyrotechnician next to him was also under his command to increase or decrease the size of the fire.

After about a cup of tea, a scent of refreshing elixir flew out from the copper furnace.

"rise!"

The furnace cover floated up, and Luo Chen reached out and grabbed it.

Immediately, ten crimson pills with three cloud patterns on them fell into his hands.

The scalding temperature seems to be absent.

Luo Chen threw it casually, and Tang Quan caught it in a hurry.

"Top grade!"

Mi Li next to him exclaimed, "President, your alchemy skills have improved again!"

Looking at those pills, Tang Quan was extremely shocked.

It's no secret that the president can refine high-grade Zhongmiao Pills.

However, the furnace just now was on the verge of failure!

In such a bad situation, he was able to reverse the failure, and finally condensed it into a pill calmly, and even the finished product was the best!
What a profound alchemy technique this is.

After the shock, there is incomparable bitterness and frustration.

Do you really have no talent for alchemy?

When he was in a daze, Luo Chen had already bypassed him and walked outside.

Luo Chen paused when he passed by the door of Danshi.

Rubbing Qu Lingjun's little head, he asked with a smile, "Have you fully understood the Atlas of Herbs?"

Qu Lingjun raised his head and looked at Luo Chen with admiration.

He nodded excitedly.

"I have memorized them all, and I have passed the level of understanding. Sister Mi Li can testify!"

Luo Chen looked at Mi Li, who nodded gently.

"I have tested him several times, and there were still mistakes at the beginning, but now I can basically get everything right."

"When it comes to the understanding of the Atlas of Herbs, even among the pharmacists, it is at the forefront."

It seems that he is indeed a smart and good boy!
It's a pity that the talent is a bit lacking.

Luo Chen glanced over, and there was a faint fluctuation of spiritual power on the other party's body.

This is the sign of entering the first level of Qi Refining.

However, the fluctuation of spiritual power is too weak, almost non-existent.

As far as he knew, Qu Lingjun had started practicing a month ago.

As the only solitary seedling of the Qu family who can practice, Qu Hancheng will definitely not treat him badly.

But after a month, is there only this level?
Luo Chen thought of Yuan Xiaoyue. It only took him a month to go from the second floor to the third floor of Qi Refining.

After thinking for a while, Luo Chen took out a small bottle.

"Very good, you have perfectly completed the task I gave you, this is your reward."

Qu Lingjun happily took it, and wanted to open it, but was stopped by Luo Chen.

"Go home and see!"

With that deep glance, Qu Lingjun immediately understood the meaning.

He was a sensible boy and immediately bowed his thanks.

Luo Chen didn't care, turned and left the pill room, leaving a group of people to clean up the mess.

Like a little adult, Qu Lingjun followed the crowd, cleaning the alchemy furnace, repairing the fire pit, and replacing the fire escape bricks.

When encountering the remaining medicinal residues, they should be collected carefully.

Mi Li asked him with a gentle smile, these medicinal residues are useless, they are usually buried in the wilderness, why do they need to be collected?

Qu Lingjun just opened his eyes wide and said, these are the dregs of the medicine that succeeded, and if we collect them and compare them with the dregs of the medicine that failed, we may also be able to find other differences between success and failure.

Outside the alchemy room, Luo Chen, who was about to return to the stone house, paused for a moment.

He also has the habit of learning lessons from failure after failure.

However, he seems to have never paid attention to the dregs left over from the successfully refined elixir.

It's like doing a math problem.

A lot of people get the wrong answer and will look for which step is wrong.

But few people study the meaning of each step in the calculation process after getting the correct answer.

Because people are immersed in the joy of success.

Whether it's alchemy or doing problems.

"Although talking is better than nothing, it really opened up a new way of thinking for me."

Luo Chen chuckled and stopped paying attention.

After returning to the stone house, he activated the formation, went down the mine tunnel, and went to Changyin Mountain.

Both the earth mountain technique and the wave technique have reached the perfect level.

The evaluation among cultivators is considered to be between Xiaocheng and Dacheng, and it can already run smoothly.

He wants to try it today, the second-order spell avalanche derived from the three spells of fireball, earthy mountain, and wave!
……

"Lingjun, stop playing with mud, it's time to practice."

"Grandpa, I didn't play with mud!"

Qu Hancheng smiled helplessly, and pulled the dirty Qu Lingjun up from the basin.

He looked down and smelled a fragrance mixed with Jiao Hu.

"Is this medicine dregs?"

"No, this is no ordinary medicine dregs!"

Qu Lingjun smiled triumphantly, "This is the dregs between failure and success!"

"Ok?"

"Forget it, grandpa, you are old and don't understand these things."

"Cut, brat, go wash up."

While Qu Lingjun was washing up, Qu Hancheng looked at the gradually darkening sky and looked at the former Dahe Inner City.

Now, it's a ghost town.

And all his descendants, son, daughter-in-law, and two grandsons who have no spiritual roots, all died in it.

"Get immortal, go with peace of mind! I will definitely train Ling Jun into a powerful monk."

With a firm heart, Qu Hancheng took out two jade bottles from the storage bag.

The former is a low-grade chalcedony pill, which he bought and hoarded at an internal price when he was in the Poshan Gang.

Very suitable for Qu Lingjun's realm.

The latter is Yangqi Pill, which he recently bought at a high price from the black market in the southern part of the outer city.

This is produced by Yao Wangzong, with mild effect and no sequelae.

"If you take too much low-grade chalcedony pill, you will have sequelae of dantian jade."

"It stands to reason that Ling Jun should take Yangqi Pill, but I..."

Qu Hancheng thought that his lifespan was short and he had been seriously injured, so he really didn't have a few years to live.

As a deacon of pyrotechnics in Dantang, even if the president gave him several benefits, the spirit stones he earned in a month were only close to that of a monk in the late stage of Qi refining.

"Qi Yang Dan is getting more and more expensive, and I can't buy many spirit stones."

"Let's keep these few bottles for now. When Lingjun is in the middle stage of Qi refining, stop using the chalcedony pill, and then use this Qi-nourishing pill!"

After making a decision, Qu Hancheng treasured the bottle of Yangqi Pill.

After Qu Lingjun finished washing and ran out naked, he laughed and scolded him to get dressed to practice.

Unexpectedly, Qu Lingjun, standing on the bed, shaking the little bird, said loudly with reason:

"do not want!"

"I heard the president say two days ago that being close to nature and experiencing the Dao is the foundation of practice."

"Cultivating in clothes will make it difficult for me to absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world."

Qu Hancheng looked confused, is there another way to say this?
The left and right are just a layer of close-fitting clothing.

But thinking that it was Luo Chen who said it, he couldn't help but be dubious, so let's just believe it.

"Fine, do whatever you want. This is the elixir to be used today. Swallow one first before practicing."

While speaking, the old man raised a brazier in the corner.

The charcoal fire ignited, bringing a warm heat to the room.

He opened the window again to let the cold wind outside the house seep in.

You can't let the little grandson freeze, and you can't hold back trouble in the house.

It's hard for this little old man.

But looking back, I found that Qu Lingjun did not practice directly.

Instead, he squatted on the bed, staring blankly at a pill in his hand.

"But the low-grade chalcedony pill, what's so good about it..."

Qu Hancheng was stunned.

Because the elixir in the child's hand clearly had three cloud patterns, which meant it was not a low-grade chalcedony elixir.

It's a top-grade chalcedony pill!
He snatched the elixir with a nervous expression, "Where did you come from?"

Qu Lingjun pouted, "The president gave me the award today, saying that I can recite the book of herbs well."

It was given by the president!

At first, he was worried that Qu Lingjun had stolen it, but when he heard that it was given by Luo Chen, his heart dropped that big stone.

Whether our old Qu family is in the Poshan Gang or in the Luotianhui, we rely on being an honest person and concentrating on doing things, so that we can stand out from the many casual cultivators step by step.

Stealing things is taboo!

It must not be contaminated.

After heaving a sigh of relief, Qu Hancheng finally came to his senses.

"Top-grade chalcedony pill!"

"My God!"

"Is the president's alchemy skill so advanced to this extent? It's only been a while, and he has refined a top-grade chalcedony pill."

"If Master Mi is still alive, I'm afraid he will be extremely happy."

While he was talking to himself, Qu Lingjun held him back.

"Grandpa, you can't tell the outside world about this!"

"Ok?"

Qu Hancheng didn't understand, the president had made a breakthrough in alchemy, why couldn't he tell the outside world?

Qu Lingjun put on a sullen face, imitating Luo Chen's expression during the day, staring at his grandfather.

Seriously said: "Never tell the outside world, this is what the president means!"

Qu Hancheng opened his mouth, but he didn't realize the expression and tone of his little grandson.

In a trance, there was a trace of Luo Chen's charm.

That being the case, he also put away his thoughts of promoting the president's reputation to the outside world.

It's not very good to flatter a horse's hoof.

But then, he hesitated.

Should the grandson use the low-grade chalcedony pill, or the top-grade one?

"It's top grade!"

"Since the president rewarded a bottle, he must have considered Lingjun's realm."

"Besides, he seems to like this kid quite a bit. Let Ling Jun go up earlier, and he can help with things. Maybe he can be reused."

"I'll just keep these low-grade chalcedony pills for me. Anyway, I haven't eaten a few pills in my life."

After finding a reason for himself to enjoy, Qu Hancheng urged his grandson to practice.

He stood at the door and gave the air in the room to Qu Lingjun, so that the spiritual energy would not be absorbed by him.

Facing the bitter cold wind, Qu Hancheng drew a bong from his waist.

Skillfully lit the pouch with fireball and took a sip.

I just feel that the choking tobacco leaves in the past have a slight sweetness.

……

A sad face climbed up his face.

Luo Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and drank a sip of the pulse-replenishing fluid.

He lowered his head and looked at the small bump not far away.

"This is the power of Tier [-] spells?"

"Gan!"

"Zhenlong Black Market won't sell pirated and fake products!"

After cursing and complaining, Luo Chen recalled the situation at that time.

According to the secret book, as long as the three spells have reached the small achievement level, you can start practicing "Landslide".

His current fireball technique is Dzogchen, earth mountain technique is perfect level, and wave technique is perfect level, which has already surpassed Xiaocheng level.

However, the three techniques cannot be combined into one!

"What went wrong?"

The basic conditions have been met, why did it still fail?
Luo Chen didn't doubt his magic talent.

Even compared to the alchemy techniques that are coveted by the Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Stage, his talent for spells is the real deal.

With so many spells learned, none of them rely on the system to get started.

He came all by himself, through self-cultivation alone.

Constantly thinking, Luo Chen looked at the little dirt bag.

This is the effect of earth mountain technique.

If it is done with all its strength, it should be at least tens of meters tall.

But when it was released just now, the aura in the body was disordered, and there was a momentary runaway.

Not only did the operation fail, but it also slightly damaged his meridians.

Fortunately, there is the Supplementary Moisturizing Liquid obtained from Gao Tingyuan's inheritance, otherwise the loss outweighs the gain today.

"What about the water?"

"I also activated the wave technique, why didn't I see any drops of water, and I didn't even notice the water-type aura."

"It can't be earth mountain technique and wave technique, I haven't practiced well yet!"

In doubt, Luo Chen suddenly reacted.

Perhaps, it wasn't for these two pre-spells that he didn't practice well.

But the attainment of fireball technique is too high.

Dzogchen's fireball technique is driven to the extreme, even comparable to the second-level fire-type blazing sun technique.

The integration of the three skills is about balance, and then the outbreak.

If you can't reach a balance first, how can you talk about an explosion?

As a result, only premature detonation.

And if it detonates in advance, the one who will be injured is the caster!
"So, what I have to do is to upgrade the two pre-spells."

"Or, to control the input amount of spiritual power of the fireball technique?"

The first two require hard work, at least they can be calculated in the unit of "month".

The latter, on the contrary, is easier to handle.

In the past few months, he has been optimizing for fireball.

Dzogchen's spiritual eyesight made him even more powerful.

Until now, the optimization of fireball has reached a very high level.

If it is fused again to form the Fierce Sun Art, the power will be even more powerful than before.

Even if you give him enough time to squeeze out all the spiritual power in his body, he will definitely be able to unleash a brilliant blow.

If it is just to control the amount of spiritual power input, this is not difficult to solve.

Luo Chen wanted to continue practicing spells, but his eyes froze slightly.

Under the night, an old wolf exuding a powerful aura was climbing up the mountain from a hundred miles away.

Immediately, a mournful and deep wolf howl resounded through the barren mountains and ancient forests.

"It's not easy to continue practicing this technique today."

"Forget it, since I have found the general problem, I will be able to master this technique sooner or later."

Without hesitation, Luo Chen turned and left.

Xiaoyao Yufeng unfolded, the wind howled, and black clouds hid his figure.

In an instant, Luo Chen disappeared from Changyin Mountain without a trace.

……

Back in the Inclined Moon Valley, Luo Chen did not practice directly.

In the past few days, the processing of raw materials for Tongyou Pill has been completed.

Ten copies of the finished main materials are placed in his storage bag.

"Forget it, the means of protecting the way are only for protecting the way after all, and cultivation is the fundamental."

"Refine the Tongyou Pill first, and then increase the cultivation level!"

System, get started!
Without the slightest hesitation.

Ten achievement points were erased from the panel.

On the property panel, there is an extra entry.

【Tongyou Pill 1/100】

According to past experience, the extra "1" means that he, Luo Chen, has already had a successful experience by default.

Therefore, it will be evaluated as an entry-level level.

This "1" should not be underestimated.

Without this "1", no one knows how many failures will be experienced before this.

At least from Tang Quan, Luo Chen realized the frustration brought about by not being able to succeed even once.

In order to get started with Zhongmiao Pills, Tang Quan had refined them more than a hundred times.

Based on the cost of five spirit stones per copy, he had already wasted 500 yuan of low-grade spirit stones.

What is this concept?
For Luo Chen, when he started from scratch, his total net worth was only 50 yuan of spirit stones.

500 Yuan Lingshi, he needs to start all over again, comeback ten times!
Even, there is no hope of success.

Only when you succeed that time can you remember the most wonderful memory and learn more successful experience from the successful memory.

In a word, successful people always succeed!

A faint thought flashed by, and Luo Chen released the Four Elephant Cauldron.

This is the magic weapon he is most familiar with now, it is still on Ziyun Copper Furnace, Xuanyun Cauldron and Shenmu Cauldron.

"Old man Mi, I miss you a lot!"

With a sigh of remembrance, Luo Chen lit the fire by himself, and then poured in the herbs one by one.

"Zhan Xingcao, Bamboo Yellow..."

"Phantom Grass, interval blue orange grass juice..."

"The last is the blood of the snow fox demon, so...wrong!"

In just a moment, Luo Chen woke up from his trance.

And it was this trance, that pungent stench, that came over the surface.

He soared into the air, overlooking the situation in the cauldron.

A large stream of white solid-liquid mixture flows in it.

The pungent stench comes from this.

Luo Chen's face was gloomy, he failed!

It didn't even reach the stage of medicinal fusion, so it failed.

Not to mention the step of Hedan.

"Just arousing the blood of the snow fox demon, the hallucinogenic feeling produced, made me addicted for a moment."

"Just at this moment, the refining failed!"

"This is the only time I have encountered a counterattack from pills in my many years of alchemy."

This situation is rare.

Or, yes!

But generally only exists in high-level pills.

For example, some high-level elixir refining processes that use living creatures to refine alchemy must face the counterattack of the raw materials of elixir.

Unexpectedly, this kind of situation will happen in the mere access to Youdan.

"It may be caused by the failure of the hallucinogenic ability in the blood of the snow fox demon to be suppressed in the pill formula I completed."

"But it's already started, and it's too late to temporarily change and optimize the formula."

"I have to find a way to keep me from being hallucinated when I am refining alchemy."

If there is a problem, solve it!
Luo Chen was not discouraged, he had experienced many failures.

Without these failures, how can there be more success?

It's just that in this short day today, he experienced the failure of spells and alchemy, which really made him mentally and mentally exhausted.

"Maybe it's also related to being too tired during this period of time."

"It just so happens that the meridians were slightly injured today, and I need to rest for a while."

"Let's not practice today, just take the golden jade liquid and the transparent liquid, and then go to sleep!"

Luo Chen understands the truth that too much is too much.

He decisively chose to go to sleep.

Needless to say, this time, I slept quite peacefully.
