The Rise of the Cultivation Family

Chapter 45: First hearing about the Dan Alliance
Yun Yongzhu returned to Luoyunju and thought about what he should do next.

Currently, everything is going well in his cultivation, and there is no shortage of elixirs needed for cultivation, but his alchemy skills have encountered a bottleneck.

Needless to say, the Bigu Pill has not made any progress in the past three years, and the Qi Gathering Pill, although it has made great progress in the past three years, has been stuck in the same place in recent months.

Moreover, among all the elixirs he has refined, only the Bigu Pill has a good elixir-forming rate, and the Qi-Gathering Pill has a passable elixir-forming rate. However, the other elixirs have high or low elixir-forming rates, which are very unstable.

Of course, there are two special elixirs with a pretty good elixir success rate, namely Xue Po Dan and Mu Pei San, which are first-level elixirs that are unique to the skills practiced by Wang Xiner and Song Jiyang.

Yun Yongzhu thought for a long time and analyzed several reasons.

As for Bigu Pill, he thought it was mainly due to problems with cultivation and alchemy, so there was no progress.

He could only learn the most basic methods of alchemy, including the low-level "Fire Control Technique", "Elixir Condensation Technique" and the simplest method of tempering elixirs.

As for more advanced alchemy techniques and methods, unless he becomes a disciple of a mid-level or high-level alchemist, or finds a way to obtain them from the sect's treasury, or has some unexpected encounter, it will be difficult to improve in alchemy.

Therefore, if he wants to increase the rate of pill formation of Bigu Pill, all he can do now is to practice slowly and improve his cultivation level.

Regarding the Qi Gathering Pill, he felt that he still had a lot of room for improvement.

It's just that we can no longer open the furnace only once every three to five days, or even every ten days and a half like in previous years. If we want to increase the rate of Qi Gathering Pill formation, we must find a way to increase the frequency of refining.

Moreover, Yun Yongzhu guessed that the reason why he encountered a small bottleneck in refining the Qi Gathering Pill had something to do with the fire source he used when refining the pill.

Although he later changed to the second-level Sunburn Wood to refine the Qi Gathering Pill, the flames generated by the Sunburn Wood were indeed higher and more durable than the Red Sunwood, but they were still much worse than the Earth Fire.

If earth fire is used to refine elixirs, the situation may change.

You know, although earth fire is not very precious, even handyman disciples and outer disciples in the qi training period can use spirit stones to rent earth fire rooms, but this is only a benefit found in some forces or sects. .

Earth fire is indeed inferior to some heaven and earth fires, but earth fire can refine most elixirs, regardless of grade!

This is also the advantage of ground fire.

All in all, if he now wants to make a breakthrough in the success rate of the Qi Gathering Pill, he can only increase the number of refining times and work hard on the Earth Fire.

Yun Yongzhu thought that he could go to the Mission Hall to receive the mission of refining the Qi Gathering Pill. No, he had to go to the Alchemy Hall to receive the mission.

Most of the alchemy tasks in the Yuntai Peak Mission Hall are low-level elixirs such as Bigu Pill, and there are relatively few refining tasks such as Baiyun Pill, Qi Gathering Pill, and Qi Restoration Pill.

However, there happens to be a branch of the Alchemy Hall on Danxia Peak. After receiving the task there, he can go directly to the Earth Fire Room to refine it, which is quite convenient.

The reason why Yun Yongzhu chose to take on the alchemy task to hone his alchemy skills was mainly because the cost of the Qi Gathering Pill was a bit high, and it was very troublesome and cumbersome to buy the materials to refine it and then sell the pill himself.

Of course, the most fundamental reason is that the success rate of the Qi Gathering Pills he refined is not high. Currently, he can barely maintain a balance of income and expenditure. At most, he can only earn one or two spirit stones from a furnace of pills.

In the past three years, the elixirs he refined were used not only to earn a large number of spiritual stones, but also to earn a lot of sect points.

However, the profit ratio between points and spirit stones is astonishingly one to three or one to four, which is not cost-effective.

Yun Yongzhu only earned over a thousand sect points in three years, mostly in exchange for Qi Gathering Pills. As for Bigu Pills, few people were willing to use their points to purchase them.

Yun Yongzhu thought about it and did not rush to take action, and spent the day leisurely.

The next day, after he finished practicing, he visited Song Jiyang and Wang Xiner respectively.

The two fellow villagers who entered the sect with him have now reached the fourth level of Qi training, and they are expected to catch up with him soon. Yun Yongzhu secretly sighed in his heart, they are indeed worthy of their cultivation qualifications of dual spiritual roots and foreign spiritual roots.

In the Qingshan Sect, he only walked around frequently with these two disciples. There were also several fellow disciples who were also alchemists. They would move around from time to time to exchange alchemy experiences, trade spiritual objects, elixirs, etc.

In addition, Yun Yongzhu would probably take time out to visit Nangong Li once or twice every year at Wangyue Peak to keep in touch with him.

As for his neighbor Yi Muyang, he left the sect for training with his friends a few years ago, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

He went to their cave mainly to explain to them that he was going to Danxia Peak. If he was asked to refine elixirs in the future, he could give the materials directly to Wang Yiming.

After Yun Yongzhu was able to refine the Qi Gathering Pill, Song Jiyang and Wang Xiner became interested.

Three years ago, when Yun Yongzhu's Qi Gathering Pill success rate showed signs of reaching [-]%, the two of them finally couldn't help themselves and prepared the materials for making the pill and asked him to refine it.

It turned out that both of their skills were equipped with elixirs specifically designed to assist their practice. Although the Qi Gathering elixir could also assist their practice, it was not as helpful as the matching elixirs.

At that time, Yun Yongzhu could not refuse, so he had no choice but to accept the prescription and materials.

The result was of course unsatisfactory. Song Jiyang had six materials and only two pills were produced. Wang Xiner had ten materials and only two pills were produced.

After knowing the result, Song Jiyang and Wang Xiner decisively gave up. The [-]% to [-]% success rate was really unbearable for them.

But less than half a year later, the two of them came to him one after another, begging him to refine the elixir, and insisted on providing him with the elixir-making materials.

Yun Yongzhu was of course very happy about this, as this could hone his alchemy skills.

Maybe his alchemy skills have indeed improved a lot, more because of the higher frequency of refining, so his rate of elixir formation has gradually increased.

Therefore, every once in a while, Song Jiyang and Wang Xiner would prepare several materials and ask Yun Yongzhu to open the furnace in exchange for spiritual stones.

After visiting the two of them, Yun Yongzhu explained to Wang Yiming in detail, and then used his Streaming Wings to set off for Danxia Peak.

After arriving at Danxia Peak, he did not run directly to the Earth Fire Hall. Instead, he went to the alchemy hall at the top of Danxia Peak to prepare for the alchemy task of Qi Gathering Pill.

There were only a dozen or so people in the lobby. After Yun Yongzhu entered, he went directly to an empty counter and expressed his desire to take on the task of refining the Qi Gathering Pill.

The fellow student motioned for him to take out his alchemist's token. Only then did Yun Yongzhu remember that he had been refining alchemy for many years and had never applied for this token.He didn't know much about this token, but he had seen fellow sect members wearing alchemist tokens in his sect, which seemed to be a symbol of the alchemist's status.

When others see someone hanging this token around their waist, they will become extremely respectful.

Yun Yongzhu asked: "Senior brother, do you have to show the alchemist's token to accept the alchemy task here?"

"It turns out that you haven't obtained the alchemy master's token yet, junior brother, senior brother, let me remind you that this is the alchemy hall, not the mission hall. The alchemy missions in the alchemy hall have very high requirements.

If you want to refine the Bigu Pill, you can directly accept the pill refining task at your own spiritual peak.

oh!right!right!When accepting an alchemy task in the alchemy hall, you must show the alchemist token. "

Even alchemy apprentices are valuable alchemy talents outside, but in Qingshan Sect, this is obviously not the case.

"Thanks for the reminder, senior brother. Where can I get this alchemist token?"

"Wait."

The classmate gave him a certificate and handed it to him.

"Take this certificate and walk three or four miles down from the main hall. You will see a small courtyard. Just go in and show the certificate to the elder on duty. He will tell you what to do."

Yun Yongzhu thanked his fellow disciples and left the main hall of the Alchemy Hall.

When he found the small courtyard that his fellow disciples had mentioned, the courtyard door was wide open and there was no one inside. Yun Yongzhu called a few times before he heard a voice telling him to wait.

This wait lasted only a moment for a stick of incense. When someone came out, they discovered that it was a middle-aged uncle who was in the foundation building stage.

"Hello, uncle, I'm sorry to bother you."

Yun Yongzhu handed him the certificate.

The uncle glanced at it and said, "What level of alchemist do you want to obtain?"

"First-order low-grade!"

The man looked Yun Yongzhu up and down without saying a word. He took out two sets of Qi Gathering Pill materials and handed them to Yun Yongzhu, and then said: "You only have two chances. There is earth fire inside, so go in!"

Yun Yongzhu went in according to the direction he pointed. There were five alchemy rooms inside.

He entered one at random. These alchemy rooms were no different from ordinary earth fire rooms.

Yun Yongzhu got familiar with the earth fire before he started refining the Qi Gathering Pill.

In less than two hours, Yun Yongzhu put away the four low-grade Qi Gathering Pills, came out, handed the jade bottle to the middle-aged man, and took out the extra Qi Gathering Pill materials.

Perhaps because he hadn't used earth fire to refine pills for a long time, he was lucky enough to get four pills this time.

In the past, if Yun Yongzhu successfully refined a furnace of Qi Gathering Pills, he would probably get two or three pills, and four pills would be rare.

The man collected the materials and was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Yun Yongzhu to successfully refine it in one go.

He poured the elixir into the palm of his hand and took a casual look at it. He found that although they were all low-grade Qi Gathering Pills, the fragrance of the elixirs was light and long-lasting, and the quality should be better than ordinary low-grade Qi Gathering Pills.

He scraped off some pill foam and tasted it. It was indeed more effective, so he praised:
"The quality of the Qi Gathering Pill refined by Master Yun's nephew is of good quality, and the success rate of the pill is not bad. You wait here for a while, and I will get you the token."

Not long after, he came out of the room with a silver token and handed it to Yun Yongzhu.

One side of the token is engraved with the word "青山", the other side is engraved with the word "Danmeng", and there is a round bulge on the right side.

"Qingshan" can be understood, it represents Qingshan Sect, but what does "Alchemy Alliance" mean, the Alchemy Alliance?
When he had questions, Yun Yongzhu raised them of course.

"The Alchemy Alliance is a large organization that is not limited to sects, families and other forces. The Piaomiao Palace, Ice Palace, Hehuan Sect, Xuantian Sword Sect, Rogue Cultivators Alliance, and our Qingshan Sect, all six major forces have alchemists joining them. Danmeng organization.

You received the alchemist token today, and you are a peripheral member of the alchemy alliance.

Although this Alchemy Alliance organization is relatively loose, it has a great influence on the world of immortal cultivation in Dayan. When your cultivation level and alchemist level increase in the future, you will naturally know how powerful it is. "

After saying that, the Master of the Foundation Establishment Stage ignored Yun Yongzhu's eagerness for knowledge and turned to leave.

Yun Yongzhu could only helplessly hold the palm-sized token in his hand, which symbolized the identity of the alchemist, and went straight to the main hall of the alchemy hall on the top of the mountain.

After finding the fellow disciple who issued the certificate for him, Yun Yongzhu showed him the token and then said that he would take on a large number of tasks for refining Qi Gathering Pills.

The fellow student obviously didn't expect that this young junior fellow student was really capable of obtaining an alchemist's token.

After being stunned for a moment, I found a suitable alchemy task for him.

After receiving the mission, Yun Yongzhu went straight to the Earth Fire Hall.

Because it was to complete the alchemy task of the alchemy hall, renting the underground fire room was relatively cheaper, which surprised him a little.

More than half a month has passed, and his pill-formation rate has indeed shown signs of improvement. Eight out of ten furnaces can always produce four Qi-Gathering Pills at once, but the rate of medium- and high-grade Qi-Gathering Pills is still relatively small.

Most of the rewards for alchemy tasks in the alchemy hall are sect points. The point reward for completing the task is generally not a fixed number, but is linked to the number and quality of the elixirs turned in. The more the elixirs turned in, the better the quality. The more reward points you get.

He stayed at Danxia Peak for the next few days, handing in tasks when he ran out of materials, and then taking on new tasks.
