Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

Chapter 246 Preparation before refining alchemy, main medicine, and auxiliary medicine

After asking around later, he found out that it was not this kind of elixir that was particularly rare.

But they human monks rarely use the 'Fantasy Firefly Grass'.

This 'Phantom Firefly Grass' has only one function, and that is to serve as the main medicine of the second-level transformation pill.

Although there are more than 100,000 monks in Yong'an City, the number is extremely large.

However, the quantity of this kind of remote elixir specially used for monster beasts is still quite rare.

Just because it doesn't sell very well.

Because this second-level transformation pill is just a very simple blinding method.

Basically, anyone with spiritual consciousness in the foundation building stage can see through it.

And most monsters can shrink their bodies after reaching the second level.

It's a breeze!

Therefore, there is no need to deliberately change into human form.

If you change, you will be easily seen through by monks of the same level.

Therefore, unless under special circumstances, ordinary monks will not feed their monsters with transformation pills.

After all, one Transformation Pill costs hundreds of spirit stones.

The duration is only a few years at most.

Most monks wouldn't even bother buying such a useless thing to use for their own spiritual beasts.

Therefore, the sales volume of the second-level Transformation Pill has not been very good since its inception.

Many elixir shops will not deliberately refine this elixir.

Only when the main ingredient of 'Fantasy Firefly Grass' is collected by chance in one's own shop, the furnace will be opened to refine it.

Used to enrich the types of elixirs in your own store.

On the other hand, the second-level Dingyan Pill is much more popular.

Fortunately for the friar, he basically doesn't pay much attention to his appearance.

Just wear any cassock or robe.

But female cultivators in the spiritual world are different.

Female cultivators at any stage are still very concerned about their appearance.

Therefore, they will spend a considerable part of their spiritual stones to buy beauty pills to maintain their appearance as they did when they were young.

Therefore, from the perspective of identifying the age of a male cultivator, you can vaguely make a certain judgment by looking at his face.

This is not very feasible when applied to female monks.

So even though the elixir is in the second level, it is actually subdivided into many different functions.

Some sell well, while others don't sell well.

The second-level Transformation Pill belongs to the category that is difficult to sell.

The natural stock is very small.

Based on this, Cai Houchun almost visited all the elixir shops in Yong'an City, but could not find the elixir 'Magic Firefly Grass'.

But it was the Transformation Pill, which he saw being sold in several shops.

But he knew very well that Taoist Qingyi wanted the 'Fantasy Firefly Grass', not the Transformation Pill.

If what he needed was the 'Transformation Pill', he could just tell him directly.

There is no need to go overboard.

With no choice but to do so, Cai Houchun could only post the information about the acquisition of 'Fantasy Firefly Grass' on the mission wall of Yong'an City.

Five hundred spiritual stones were given to provide the exact information about the ‘Fantasy Firefly Grass’.

After all, it is backed by endless mountains, and there are many wild elixirs inside.

Maybe someone has seen this elixir, but due to various reasons, did not pick it.

If you have a ready-made 'Fantasy Firefly Grass', you can trade with him directly for three thousand spirit stones, one price!

Stimulated by the spirit stone, someone finally received the message providing the specific location of the 'Fantasy Firefly Grass'.

But in that place, there was a second-order Dzogchen earth-cracking beast living.

So a few days ago, Cai Houchun said goodbye to Luo Yan after making preparations.

He wanted to collect the 'Phantom Firefly Grass' himself.

Now, the elixir has been collected.

Luo Yan also fulfilled his promise and lifted the restraining circle in Cai Houchun's mind.

Finally, the shackles on my body were gone.

The freedom that Cai Houchun longed for finally came back.

He had had enough of being on tenterhooks during this period.

Now he just wants to escape from this place quickly and stay far away from this guy who is as scary as a devil.

I don't want to be near it anymore.

"Don't run away in a hurry yet!"

"Since it's already been two months, it's not too much time to stay for another hour and a half."

"You should know very well that I am a man of my word, so the promise I made to you will naturally be effective and set you free."

"I'll go in and make a furnace of elixirs. It'll be ready in a few hours."

"Help me look at the store for a while. If someone comes to buy elixirs, give them the jade plaque in the drawer."

Luo Yan looked at this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyes revealed that he wanted to run away immediately. Although he could understand, he still interrupted.

Just as Luo Yan was about to turn around, he seemed to remember something and stopped.

He paused and spoke in a cold tone:

"You can think about what I told you when you go back."

"You won't have too long to think about it."

Looking at the Qingyi Taoist who returned to the backyard again, the smile on the short-bearded man's face dropped, and his eyes instantly narrowed into slits.

At this moment, his mind was recalling the conversation he had a few days ago.

At that time, the Qingyi Taoist in front of him said to him:

"You should have guessed that I came from the outer realm with a special purpose. There is a high probability that I will not stay here for a long time."

"So I need you to do me a favor"

"Once my goal is achieved, I will give you a great blessing."

Cai Houchun recalled the previous conversation and pondered the authenticity of this sentence in his mind.

Judging from his observations of the Qingyi Taoist in the past two months, he is indeed a decisive and decisive person, but at the same time, he is also a man of his word.

Such words from the mouth of a prodigy

Its credibility is much higher than that of others.

Cai Houchun murmured to himself:

"Will I serve you for ten years?"

"I'm just an ordinary casual cultivator, so what's so valuable about me that a prodigy like you covets?"

"But if I refuse, given my current situation, the chance of forming a pill is too low."

A trace of struggle flashed in Cai Houchun's eyes.

He knew very well that with his qualifications and character, building the foundation had already taken a lot of effort.

If it is a pill

He didn't even have this hope himself.

I never even dreamed of that day coming.

But now, Taoist Qingyi's great fortune made Cai Houchun's heart stir.

Although I don’t know what kind of creation it is, it may come from the mouth of a prodigy who is used to the world.

That is definitely something closely related to himself, otherwise it would never be called a ‘great creation’.

Although the restrictions in my mind were gone, the big stone hanging in my heart finally fell, and I felt free.

Cai Houchun's first thought was to run away immediately.

Get away from this hellish place and stay away from this scary guy.

But he still held back.

Cai Houchun knew very well that this was a decision.

Once he walks out of this store, he will probably never have this kind of opportunity again.

The only thing he needs to bet on is the integrity of this genius from the outside world. Will he use him in vain and not abide by the agreement between the two?

Cai Houchun recalled in his mind what the Qingyi Taoist had done during this period.

His face was gloomy and uncertain.

He was very hesitant at first, then strengthened his belief, and decided to give it a try.

Because he knows very well that apart from a little cleverness, he has no strengths.

It is not worth the calculations of such a great genius.

Although I haven’t had much dealings with this kind of genius.

But Cai Houchun knows very well that most geniuses are extremely proud.

Even if you don't say a word, you can still say that you mean what you say.

So Cai Houchun decided to take a chance and obey Taoist Qingyi for ten years in exchange for a piece of his own destiny.

Even if Taoist Qingyi breaks his promise in the end, he will not suffer much loss.

By participating in a battle between good and evil once a month, you can basically gather enough resources for practice.

So the moment Taoist Qingyi entered, Cai Houchun had already made up his mind.

He would be a fool not to accept the olive branch offered by such a prodigy.

A great genius who can beat the soul-refining sect disciples to pieces.

Even without thinking, Cai Houchun could guess that the power behind the Qingyi Taoist must be extremely huge.

At least it is not inferior to the existence of the Soul Refining Sect.

Otherwise, how could ordinary monks have the courage to go to the territory of a demonic sect such as the Soul Refining Sect so openly?

He fought with his disciples and won them all.

For this reason, Cai Houchun believed that it was entirely feasible to take a gamble on himself.

In fact, the reason why Luo Yan said those words was to make Cai Houchun think about it.

Even because in the past two months, through the feedback of the seal restriction in Cai Houchun's mind, I realized that this person had secretly sought help from other monks of the same level.

He is suspected of escaping privately.

But when facing Luo Yan's instructions, when looking for the main ingredient of 'Fantasy Firefly Grass', he really took it seriously.

During this period, he seemed sincere and never stopped every day.

Such a responsible attitude finally caught Luo Yan's eyes.

It is normal for Cai Houchun to have his own selfish motives. This is human nature.

But if you can distinguish priorities and understand the interests, you can be considered practical in doing things.

Based on this, Luo Yan's impression of him has greatly changed.

Thinking that in the next time, it would be best to have someone around who can help run errands.

So Luo Yan said to Cai Houchun: "If you obey his orders for ten years, you will give him a fortune."

After all, this can help him save a lot of unnecessary wasted time on trivial matters.

For example, finding the 'Phantom Firefly Grass' is not difficult, but a bit cumbersome.

Luo Yan can't go there in person.

This is the benefit of having someone at your disposal.

Some trivial matters and chores can be left to him for help.

Luo Yan returned to the alchemy room in the backyard and began to prepare the elixir of transformation.

But before that, these elixirs need to be dealt with.

Luo Yan first took out a triangular alchemy furnace painted with dragon patterns.

Then around its alchemy furnace, many mysterious fire runes were carved.

With a flick of spiritual power, the triangular pill furnace slowly floated in the air.

"Snapped!"

With Luo Yan's gentle touch, these fire runes began to absorb the spiritual energy in the air.

Then it burst into flames.

This step is in Nuan Dan Furnace.

The temperature of these flames is actually not too high.

It is used to maintain the temperature of the inner and outer walls of the triangular dragon pattern furnace in a specific range that is just right.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Yan took out the auxiliary ingredients needed to refine the Transformation Pill.

Sky blue flower, silver moon vine, rehmannia glutinosa ginseng, fire essence jujube, jade dragon fruit.

Luo Yan first crushed these auxiliary medicines, which were slightly lacking in moisture, into puree, and mixed the residue with the juice.

Place in an empty vessel.

Then dry the residues of these auxiliary medicines in turn with the spiritual fire in your hands.

After drying the residue of these auxiliary medicines, Luo Yan found a pestle and grinded the residues of these elixirs into powder.

Then use the specific proportions introduced in the recipe to mix them together.

After doing this, Luo Yan whispered in his heart:

"Zero, start the experimental mode and determine the specific proportions of various auxiliary drugs to the milligram level."

"The task is established. The experimental model is being generated. The dosage of the elixir is being calculated."

"The basic unit of measurement remains unchanged and micro-control is being carried out."

"The ingredients of the simulated elixir are in harmony"

"Adjustment suggestions: Add another 1/10 colander for the azure powder, keep the total amount of silver moon vine powder unchanged, and add another 1/7 colander for the total amount of Huojing Jujube."

The chip's dispassionate beep sounded.

Luo Yan followed the chip's prompts and modified them one by one.

This is how the chip helps in making alchemy.

For many high-level alchemists, when refining a batch of elixirs, the number of pills they need to prepare depends on their personal level.

The higher the level, the more pills will be produced.

Alchemists who can achieve five or six pills are already very rare.

This can only be done by a very powerful alchemy veteran!

After all, a standard raw material for a pill recipe only contains about ten pills.

This may be due to the different proportions of various main drugs, auxiliary drugs, neutralizing drugs, primers and other elixirs.

Refining alchemy often becomes not so easy.

Just like what is recorded in the recipe, add an appropriate amount of Rehmannia glutinosa powder to it.

The person who described this elixir did not elaborate on how much this appropriate amount is.

Later generations will have no way to start with this recipe.

Naturally, it takes a long time to try, match the ratio over and over again, and try again and again.

Only in the end was it possible to combine all the elixirs together.

After doing this, you still have to look at the fire control of the alchemy, as well as the timing when opening the furnace to take the elixir, etc.

Every step here will affect the final rate of elixir formation.

An experienced alchemist will naturally have a high elixir-making rate in a batch of elixirs.

But even they have not practiced a lot of elixirs.

The yield rate of refining a furnace of rare elixirs is not particularly high.

After all, monks are humans, not machines!

The ratio of various elixirs, the control of the elixir furnace fire, the time to take elixirs, etc.

These are all likely to affect the final rate of elixir formation.

A furnace of elixirs starts with the selection of elixirs, the ratio of main and auxiliary drugs, the elixir forging time, etc.

It's all a delicate and delicate job.

If you don't have the talent for alchemy, you can only accumulate it through a lot of experience.

If a special elixir is not refined enough, the rate of natural elixir formation will be low.

But alchemy is not cooking. Once a mistake is made in one step, all the elixirs will be scrapped.
