Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 5 Mr. Guan, please bless me to succeed in refining the elixir.

 Early in the morning the next day, before dawn, Luo Chen climbed out of bed.

It's foggy outside, and even if you listen carefully, you can occasionally hear one or two beast roars from the million mountains.

But these have nothing to do with him.

 He will be very busy today or next.

 The first step is to classify various medicinal materials.

 Most of the medicinal materials bought from casual cultivation stalls are relatively rough, and some are not even dried.

He first put these things on the dustpan and took them out to dry in the sun when the sun came out.

 Then there are jasper lotus seeds.

 The skin must be peeled. As long as the lotus seed kernel is used, the skin is definitely not required.

Holding an oil lamp, I peeled off the dust piece by piece. I didn't stop until my eyes were a little dry.

“I don’t know if this will cause myopia?”

“But I’ve become an immortal, so I can’t still suffer from myopia!”

By the time a lot of lotus seeds were processed, it was already bright.

Soaked the lotus seeds in the diluted chicken blood of Chiyang Chicken, Luo Chen took out several dustpans to dry them in the sun.

 Living on the edge of the outer city is not very safe, but it also has the relative advantage of having a large usable area.

When usually refining Bigu Powder, there is a process that actually tastes very pungent. If it is refined in a crowded area, it is likely to be complained.

 Chen Laodao tanned talisman skins at home and was complained about more than once. Later, he had to give the manager a few good talismans to fool him.

Luo Chen doesn’t have this worry.

The jade yam must be cut into cubes, and a part of it must be cut into slices. This part is reserved for refining Bigu Powder.

Luo Chen is not the kind of person who puts all his eggs in one basket.

 At the initial stage of refining Zhongmiao Pills, it can be expected that there will be many failures.

 Even if it all fails and loses everything, it is entirely possible!

  After all, it’s just a beginner’s level of proficiency.

 In this case, his original financial path must not be cut off.

 The worst case scenario is that he loses all his money, so he can at least rely on the profits from Bigu San to make a living and then make a comeback.

By the time we finished processing the jade yam, it was already noon.

 At this point, it’s time to eat!

Feeling the hunger in his belly, Luo Chen curled his lips.

It is said that immortal cultivators do not eat grains from the world. In fact, they still have to be hungry when they should!

 After washing his hands, Luo Chen entered the kitchen.

　　I scooped out a small bowl of crystal clear rice from the rice vat and poured it directly into a small pot without washing it.

This is spiritual rice. One spiritual stone can only buy ten kilograms!

He is reluctant to wash because he is afraid that some spiritual energy will be washed away.

I came to a hidden compartment next to the kitchen and pressed it. A big hole suddenly appeared in the ground, and a small underground storage room three feet square came into view.

 There is a small half fan of beef hanging inside!

 First-order monster scalper!

This thing is also expensive, it costs about ten kilograms for a low-grade spiritual stone.

The reason why Luo Chen has hundreds of kilograms of meat is not because he is greedy, but mainly because yellow beef is one of the main ingredients of Bigu San.

One pound of meat, plus an appropriate amount of ginseng, angelica and various medicinal materials, can produce five bottles of Bigu Powder, and then sell it for one spiritual stone!

He always buys as much as possible, in large quantities and cheaply, and stores it in ice cubes.

Luo Chen swallowed slightly as he looked at the small half piece of beef.

 Then he cut off the pork belly with a kitchen knife, and then took out some ordinary vegetables from the ice cellar.

 Wash the meat and vegetables cleanly, dice the vegetables, cut the meat into very thin slices, and put them all into a small pot.

Tim Chai!

 Start the fire!

Make a hand seal with your hands and mutter something in your mouth. After about two breaths, a small fireball appears in your hand.

go!

 Plop sound.

 The firewood in the stove started burning at once.

“It went very smoothly this time. The incident like the fireball exploding the stove when we first traveled through time should never happen again!”

Luo Chen smiled slightly, feeling quite pleased with himself.

 Looking at the panel, I saw that the level of proficiency in the fireball technique jumped from 268/300 to 269/300!

 He has practiced three spells in total now.

 The cleansing spell of the water system, the entanglement spell of the wood system, and the fireball spell of the fire system. Among these three spells, Fireball has the highest proficiency.

 This is not without reason.

 At first I just thought it was fun to cultivate the mystery of immortality, so I would play with fireballs when I had nothing to do.

 He has experimented with the effect of this spell. It is slow and consumes a lot of energy, but it is really powerful!

 As long as the target is hit, it will melt gold and pin iron, and burn bones and ashes.

 But only if you hit it!

  For a normal monk to release the fireball technique, he must take at least three breaths from the pinching spell to recite the incantation.

Three breaths are enough for the enemy to kill him a hundred and eighty times.

Luo Chen was the same at first, and every time he released it, he would consume one-tenth of his total spiritual power.

It was then that he understood why low-level monks rarely used spells to fight.

 Either use a magic weapon or a talisman, both of which are fast, consume less energy, and are as powerful as spells.

 After knowing this situation, he lost interest in low-level spells such as fireball.

However, as his proficiency increased each time he made elixirs and used fireball to ignite fire, he felt that the magic was not useless.

Like now, the energy consumption remains the same, one-tenth, but the speed has been reduced to less than two breaths.

This is just the mastery level.

 What if you achieve perfect proficiency?

 What if it is a master level proficiency?

 So wherever fireball is available, he will use it once or twice almost every time.

 A little adds up to a lot!

 In my vague thoughts, the rice in the pot is almost ready.

Smelling the aroma of rice, Luo Chen took out a pickled radish from the kimchi vat.

 A large bowl of claypot beef rice, full of spiritual energy, attractive in red, green, yellow and white colors, and topped with a few pieces of sweet and sour pickled radish.

　　Sitting under the eaves, facing the cool breeze and sun by the stream, eating happily.

 This is the most enjoyable time for Luo Chen every day!

If there is no pressure to survive or the pursuit of immortality, such a meal every day can indeed be regarded as enjoyment.

 It's a pity that Luo Chen has no choice. He is a systematic man, and he will eventually shine even in the dark night!

 “Fuck, why does this stuff smell so bad!”

　　The man destined to shine, clutching his chest, lay beside the stream and retched continuously.

He did not expect that the fire dog whip bought from Baicaotang would smell so bad when it was specially treated.

 After adjusting his mask, Luo Chen plucked up the courage and started handling the fire dog whip again.

Hand open the skin and apply the special juice while chanting silently.

 “This stuff doesn’t stink, this stuff doesn’t stink.”

“It’s a spiritual stone, it’s a spiritual stone, it’s a fragrant spiritual stone!”

 After finishing handling a fire dog whip, he rushed to the creek impatiently.

 “Ugh!”

 The processing of raw materials is very labor-intensive and time-consuming, but it cannot be discounted at all!

 Even said that it is more critical than the refining process.

 The reason is very simple, no matter how perfect your elixir recipe is, how exquisite your technique is, and how top-notch your alchemy equipment is, if there is something wrong with the material itself.

The final result is destined.

 Just like building a high-rise building, there are problems with the foundation, so what else can we talk about?

 It took seven days, semi-processing and deep processing of various raw materials to be as perfect as possible.

Luo Chen also took the time to refine several pots of bigu powder, kneaded it into pills and packed them.

 But I have no plans to sell it this time.

 He planned to wait for the wonderful pills to be refined and then sell them together.

 In the next period of time, the iron pot containing some subtle spiritual minerals will be cleaned and used to refine Zhongmiao Pills.

Standing in front of the stove, Luo Chen put on an apron over himself with a solemn expression.

He bowed to the blackened kitchen roof and said, "Guan Erye from my hometown, Taishang Laojun, and the local alchemy master, please bless me for success in one pot!"

 Start the pot!

 Fire!
