Self-struggle starting from Douluo

Chapter 231 The Real Wealth

As the quality gets higher, the required herbs become harder to find.

After the fifth-grade elixir, the Mittel family tried their best, but they were unable to collect any of the sixth-grade elixirs during this period.

However, the royal family directly took out ten sets of materials for sixth-grade elixirs, not including the reward for Qinghuan.

Of course, this is because the royal family has been collecting for a long time, but we have to admit that the royal family’s foundation is much greater than that of the Mittel family.

After hearing Qinghuan's words, Yafei's face lit up with joy. She immediately turned around and left, taking Yaoye, who was still in a daze, with her.

After being pulled far away, Yao Ye finally reacted and said in a somewhat dry voice: "He... succeeded in one try?"

Ya Fei smiled and said, "Anyway, I've seen him practice making pills many times, and I've never seen him fail."

“How is that possible!” Yao Ye’s scalp was numb: “No matter how powerful the alchemist is, he can’t guarantee 100% success…”

Ya Fei smiled and said nothing, but just glanced at the pill in her hand.

Yao Ye was suddenly speechless. What seemed impossible to him was now right in front of him!

……

The speed at which the waves came from the east was faster than expected.

Qing Huan had just taken out the herbs from the ring and placed them in front of her when Hai Bodong dropped from the sky, and the hurricane he created almost blew the herbs away.

Qing Huan quickly reached out and held it down, saying, "Mr. Hai, you are old, be careful!"

Hai Bodong looked excited and said, "How can I remain calm when I heard that I can recover my cultivation... Do I have the materials for the Soul-Restoring Purple Pill?"

Qing Huan pointed to the medicinal herbs displayed in front of him and said, "This, this, and this can be used as substitutes. The effect should be better than the original ones."

Hai Bodong naturally did not doubt Qing Huan's words, and asked in confusion: "What are these medicinal herbs?"

Qing Huan laughed and said, “The reward for the royal family to ask me to make medicine… they actually took out the materials for ten sixth-grade pills at once, and a bunch of fifth- and sixth-grade materials as a reward!
Tsk tsk, in comparison, the Mittel family looks like a poor ghost!"

Hai Bodong could tell Qing Huan was joking, and said helplessly: "I have been in seclusion for decades. During this period, the Miter family has been a fighting family. If we really come across something good, how can we compete with the royal family?"

Qinghuan thought about it and realized that it was true. Although the Mittel family was very powerful, without Hai Bodong, they were just a showpiece.

There is only the Dou Wang Fujiyama, who is also considered a powerful force in the Gama Empire, but compared with the auction houses opened by the Miter family throughout the empire, his momentum and status are somewhat inconsistent.

Perhaps, the reason why this piece of fat meat was not swallowed up by anyone was due to the tense atmosphere between the royal family and the Yunlan Sect.

Qinghuan stopped joking and started refining by opening the furnace.

Ya Fei then hurried over, took a breath, and said, "Hai Lao is too fast... President Fa Ma also sent the pill formula and materials, and wants to ask for the pill."

As he spoke, he took out a storage ring and handed it over, saying, "I also obtained a sixth-grade elixir, and it also came with three elixir recipes."

Qing Huan took it curiously, and after a quick glance, he blurted out, "So the royal family is also a poor bunch!"

All three pill recipes are of the sixth grade, and there are a bunch of ingredients.

Douling Pill can raise the Douwang realm by one star, and the pill recipe also comes with five ingredients.

Huangji Pill can improve the level of Douhuang powerhouse by one to two stars. The pill recipe comes with five ingredients.

Qinghuan obtained both of these pill recipes from Yao Chen, but during this period, the Mittel family was unable to gather any of the materials, while the Alchemist Guild directly sent five copies of each.

There is also a pill recipe that Qinghuan doesn't have: Qingming Shoudan, which can increase one's lifespan by ten years. The recipe also comes with five ingredients.

He took out all the things in the ring and placed them in front of him.

Hai Bodong couldn't help but say, "Compared to this, the Mittel family is really a pauper!" Yafei covered her mouth and said nothing.

Qinghuan, however, curiously fiddled with the materials of Doulingdan and Huangjidan, her hands itching.

Douling Pill, Huangji Pill, and even Pozong Pill are all sixth-grade elixirs. The reason is that these three kinds of elixirs have different focuses.

Although both are used to improve cultivation, the Douling Pill focuses more on strengthening the spirituality in the Dou Qi, the Huangji Pill focuses on the accumulation of energy, and the Pozong Pill focuses on the perception of nature guidance.

In other words, the Douling Pill mainly acts on the soul, guiding the soul's spirituality to combine with the Dou Qi.

The Huangji Pill contains enormous energy, which can directly promote the improvement of Douhuang's cultivation.

The Pozong Pill contains the changes in the properties of space, and there is a chance that it can allow people to comprehend space and thus break through to the Douzong level.

So even though they are all used to improve cultivation, these three types of elixirs are not from the same system!
Qinghuan was so curious about the three completely different changes in the properties of these three kinds of pills during the refining process. He had always wanted to refine these three kinds of pills, but had been unable to do so due to insufficient materials.

Now that he had five copies of two of the pills, he naturally couldn't help himself.

However, seeing Hai Bodong's expectant expression, Qing Huan calmed down his thoughts and planned to refine the "Fu Ling Purple Pill" first.

……

No alchemist dares to say that he knows all the elixirs!

Not even Yao Chen dared to do that. Even in the Yao clan where Yao Chen was born, no one had the confidence to say such things!
Pills are not static. Slightly changing one or two ingredients can turn them into completely different pills. So theoretically, the types of pill recipes are endless and ever-changing.

If you just follow the recipe rigidly to make the pill, you will only limit yourself.

A truly skilled alchemist does not focus on the materials in the recipe, but rather the property changes between the materials!

Refining the materials according to the recipe is just to grasp the changes in their properties!

Therefore, only a skilled alchemist can create his own pill recipe based on actual conditions.

The same is true for Qinghuan.

With the support of the Mittel family, Qing Huan refined all the first to fourth grade elixirs that he knew, as well as some fifth grade elixirs. Not only did he clearly perceive the changes in their properties, he also reproduced them in the operation of his own internal skills!
That's why Qinghuan can easily use other materials to replace the ingredients on the recipe of "Fuling Purple Pill".

The material is not important, the change in properties is important!
The Soul-Restoring Purple Pill was only of the fifth grade. Qing Huan easily refined it with substitute materials and threw it to Hai Bodong, saying, "It should be more effective than the original pill recipe. Perhaps you can achieve a breakthrough of one or two star levels while restoring your cultivation."

Hai Bodong's expression lit up, and he didn't bother to be polite with Qing Huan. He took the pill and said, "I'll take it right away!"

If Hai Bodong hadn't seen Qing Huan eager to continue refining the elixir, he would have even planned to take it on the spot.

But he didn't go far. He just had to make sure that when he recovered his cultivation level, he wouldn't disturb Qinghuan from refining the elixir.

As soon as Hai Bodong left, Qing Huan could no longer hold back. He picked up some materials for the "Douling Pill" and started to refine it.

Douling Pill guides the soul and enhances the spirituality in the fighting spirit. It can be said that this pill acts on the soul.

Of course, forcibly relying on pills to guide the spirituality in the soul will always have sequelae, so a person can only take one Douling Pill in his lifetime.

The same is true for the Huangji Pill, which relies on the huge amount of energy to forcibly raise the level of Dou Qi cultivation. The pressure it causes on the body's meridians is so severe that even the Dou Huang cannot withstand it, so he can only take one pill.

The Sect Breaking Pill does not have this limitation, but the changes in the spatial properties of the pill still need to be comprehended by the individual, so it can only increase the probability of breaking through to the Dou Zong level.

Of these three kinds of elixirs, the Douling Pill targets "essence", the Huangji Pill targets "qi", and the Pozong Pill targets "shen"...

Qing Huan had a feeling that these three sixth-grade elixirs might have once been one “elixir” but had been split apart.

Otherwise, one is eaten by Dou Wang, one is eaten by Dou Huang, and the other is eaten by Dou Huang at the peak. How could three different levels all be sixth-grade pills?
