Chapter 252: Alchemy attempt
For low-ranking monks, the important surname of Tsukidan is self-evident. It is the first step beyond the mundane. With it, you will have the opportunity to change your physique and greatly prolong your life; Without it, there is no hope of eternal life.
As an alchemist, Cao Xiaolan has been looking forward to the Zhuji Dan Fang for a long time. However, the Zhuji Dan Dan Fang is a top secret, and in the entire one-star region of the Immortal Dao Alliance, only a limited number of sects have mastered such secrets, and they are all secret. Even if you have money, there is nowhere to buy it.
Cao Xiaolazy never imagined that one day he would really be able to have this Danfang. In my heart, I was so impressed by the miraculous functions of these special buildings on the main peak of the Feather Gate.
Cao Xiaolazi, who was obsessed with alchemy, saw the Zhuji Dan Danfang, just like a lustful pervert saw a stripped beauty, and he was not willing to delay for a moment, and immediately entered the quiet room in the alchemy room, ready to start studying the Danfang.
Qin Chuan is also quite accomplished in the art of alchemy, and at this time, he entered the quiet room with Cao Xiaolan for details.
According to the above record of the Danfang, refining the Zhuji Dan requires a total of ten kinds of elixirs of more than 100 years old and different castes to be mixed and smelted before it can be refined.
These ten elixirs are divided into five categories according to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and each type requires two plants.
The salomans and ambergris fruits obtained by the Yuhua Gate in the mist wetland valley before belonged to the fire surname elixir. The seven-leaf sawgrass and the cold ice grass belong to the water surname elixir, and the Teng snake grass belongs to the earth surname elixir.
In that valley at the beginning, there were a total of seven elixirs needed to refine the Tsukidan. All of them were guided by Cao Xiaolazy and the rest of the elders of the Feather Sect and collected them back.
The other three elixirs did not grow in that valley. However, before joining the Immortal Dao Alliance, Yuhuamen had explored an ancient cave mansion - Jiuqu Huilong Cave. In the Jiuqu Huilong Cave, he happened to get three other elixirs.
Now there are ten kinds of elixirs, and the number is very large. It should be more than enough to supply the alchemy room and refine hundreds of Zhuji Dan.
At this time, Qin Chuan and Cao Xiaolazy were concentrating on reading the Zhuji Dan Dan Fang. Judging from the content recorded above in the Danfang, the steps of refining the Tsukidan are really complicated. Not only between the ten kinds of elixirs, which one is matched with which one, the requirements are strict, and there is no room for error, but also there are extremely strict requirements for the dosage of medicinal materials, the control of the fire in the process of urging the flame smelting, and when to condense the pill and when to open the furnace.
In the refining process, every step must be carried out in strict accordance with the requirements. Only in this way can the ten elixirs be perfectly fused, and the five castes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth can be perfectly matched, and finally the mysterious and powerful medicinal effect can be generated.
Even the slightest mistake is very likely to lead to the failure of the entire refining process. If the alchemy is not at home, even if it is barely refined into a pill, it will be due to the lack of medicinal power, which will cause the person who takes the Zhuji Dan to impact the Zhuji level to fail.
Therefore, they are all all Zhuji Dan, some can only sell 10,000 low-grade spirit stones, while others can sell 15,000 or 6,000 spirit stones. It is because of the difference in the quality of the pill that the price difference is huge.
At present, among the one-star regions of the entire Immortal Dao Alliance, refining Zhuji Dan is the most famous, except for the Danding faction, it is not a second thought.
The Danding faction takes alchemy as the foundation of the sect, and almost everyone in the sect can refine a few hands of pills.
The sects in the Immortal Dao Alliance have been at war all year round, and the demand for pills is very huge. The Danding faction relies on this alchemy effort, and the wealth that can be earned every year is simply incalculable.
Regarding this information about the Danding faction, Qin Chuan already had a detailed understanding in the book "Detailed Explanation of the Information of the Immortal Dao Alliance". And he has already made up his mind, and in the future, he will definitely snatch the position of the number one alchemy household from the hands of the Danding faction!
Although at present, among the feather sects, there is only one mature alchemy talent, Cao Xiaolazy, and his technical background is far less profound than that of the Danding faction. However, with the support of the perverted special building of the alchemy room, it is not impossible to override the Danding faction in the future!
Qin Chuan was born with a super memory, but he couldn't see it. On the Tsuki-Dan Danfang, although the amount of information was huge, after he only read it once, he immediately remembered it word for word.
As for Cao Xiaolazy, although he doesn't have Qin Chuan's ability to remember it, he is very familiar with alchemy, and he is very familiar with all kinds of professional data and professional terms, and it is easy to remember. Therefore, after reading Danfang two or three times, he has also firmly remembered it.
At the moment, Qin Chuan and Cao Xiaolan were both eager to try. So they walked side by side and entered the void refining room together.
Since the alchemy room was upgraded to the second level, the function of the virtual refining room has been greatly enhanced. At this time, it was already available for ten disciples to conduct virtual alchemy in it.
These days, Cao Xiaolazy was ordered by Qin Chuan to select eight people with the best qualifications from among his disciples and bring them into the virtual refining room, teaching and practicing at the same time.
Alchemy in the virtual refining room, there is no need to worry about the loss of materials at all. This advantage is simply incomparable with other sects. Therefore, these eight alchemy disciples are all progressing extremely fast. I believe that in time, they will all become qualified alchemists and contribute to the alchemy plan of the sect.
At this time, all the alchemy disciples were in the virtual refining room, while observing the images of Cao Xiaolazi's alchemy that had been preserved before, and at the same time trying it in person, they were busy and in full swing.
Seeing that the head Qin Chuan and the alchemy elder Cao Xiaolan suddenly walked in side by side, all the alchemy disciples hurriedly stopped what they were doing and stepped forward to say hello.
Qin Chuan kindly excused everyone and told them to continue to refine the pill with their hearts. He and Cao Xiaolan respectively found a quiet position, their minds turned, and they conjured up the Dan furnace, tools, and elixirs, and then began to prepare for the work in an intense and orderly manner, to officially challenge the refining of the Zhuji Dan.
Cao Xiaolazy is an alchemy idiot, once he enters the working state, he forgets everything around him, what the head and disciples, all of them are thrown out of the clouds, and he buries his head in alchemy wholeheartedly.
Although Qin Chuan knew that his current alchemy technique could no longer be compared with Cao Xiaolazi, a professional. But I don't want to lose too badly. Therefore, he also devoted himself to alchemy work.
The process of refining Tsukidan is extremely complicated.
First of all, the ten elixirs should be divided into two groups according to the combination of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and crushed and grinded. In the grinding process, which elixir should be preferentially matched with which plant, how much to use each time, and even how many times to grind, are very particular, and there is no mistake at all.
Qin Chuan first closed his eyes and recalled many refining points, and then began to work flexibly with his hands, grouping and matching the elixirs according to his family name, and then carefully began to grind.
With precise weight control, the grinding of both sets of elixirs was done perfectly. Ten elixirs of different colors eventually turned into two small piles of colorful powder, each contained in two gold plates.
Then, Qin Chuan stretched out his hand and patted the Dan furnace next to him, and the furnace lid flew into the air in response. At the same time, Qin Chuan controlled the illusioned alchemy fire, the geocentric fire, into the furnace and began to burn, cast the temperature, and preheated.
When the temperature in the Dan furnace reached the standard, Qin Chuan immediately took a gold plate, ground the elixir and poured it into it, and then quickly covered the furnace lid, and then began to concentrate on controlling the fire in the center of the earth and smelting it carefully.
Under the action of the flames, the elixir grinding quickly turned into a ball of medicinal gas, and in the special structure inside the Ding Furnace, it swirled and danced.
Although in the refining process, Qin Chuan threw himself into it. However, due to the refining of Tsukidan, the requirements for flame control have almost reached the point of metamorphosis, some moments, the fire needs to be fierce, and at other moments, it needs to be gentle with a small fire, and at the same time, you have to pay attention to the correspondence between the flame and the elixir genus. So it's a bit too difficult.
After a while, the first flaw appeared in Qin Chuan's refining process. This shocked Qin Chuan's heart, and he was about to try to see if he could remedy it. How do you know that this time the spirit is scattered, and the control of the flame is no longer accurate, only to hear the sound of "boom", the medicinal gas floating in the Ding furnace is completely burned away under the excessive flame, and not even a little medicine residue is left.
The first refining process ended in complete failure.
Qin Chuan couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face, sighed lightly, raised his head, and found that Cao Xiaolazy on the opposite side had a solemn face, still concentrating on urging the flames. Smelt the medicinal gas. Obviously, the entire process of refining medicine is still under control, and he, the alchemy elder, is really not in vain. Compared with Qin Chuan, the gap is immediately obvious.
Qin Chuan understood in his heart that this was to say that he had a "specialization in the art industry", and in the past few years, Cao Xiaolan had devoted most of his energy to alchemy, and his skills were stronger than his own, which was also reasonable.
Not discouraged, after re-conjuring an elixir, Qin Chuan re-launched the second refining.
It's a pity, maybe the first failure had a subtle impact on the mood, and in the new refining, Qin Chuan made a mistake in the earliest elixir matching and grinding process. A new attempt was declared a failure early on.
It doesn't matter, anyway, the elixir conjured up in the virtual refining room doesn't cost money. Qin Chuan also did not fail repeatedly and caused losses. After taking a few deep breaths and adjusting his mood, he re-transformed the elixir, and then started a new attempt.
This time, the mind regained its calm, and the first step of grinding work was successfully crushed into powder, thrown into the furnace, and the melting began.
However, the step of fire control is too difficult. After a while, Qin Chuan didn't control the flame in place, so the flame that was too hot burned up part of the medicinal qi of the water family. Refining Tsukidan declared the third failure.
After Qin Chuan sorted out the scene of the failure a little, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. My qualifications are obviously not bad. And he was careful and cautious enough, but unfortunately he failed again and again. This shows how difficult it is to refine Tsukidan.
Of the ten elixirs needed to refine Zhuji Dan, the lowest one is worth about a hundred spirit stones. In the blink of an eye, he failed three times, and if he used a real elixir, such a short period of effort would be equivalent to wasting more than three thousand spirit stones.
More than 3,000 yuan, which is not a small amount. Even if it is a wealthy sect like the Danding faction, it will definitely hurt for a while.
It is precisely because of the high loss of alchemy that it is inconceivably difficult to cultivate an excellent alchemist. The growth process of an alchemist is definitely a wasteful path for the sect to which he belongs.
However, the Feather Gate does not need to have such worries at all. The virtual refining room is simply an ideal place to cultivate technical talents. If the head of the Danding faction knew about the existence of such a powerful and perverted building as the Feather Gate Void Refining Room, even if he was asked to exchange his father's and mother's heads, he would definitely kill him without hesitation.
Thinking of the powerful and perverted effect of the Void Refining Room, Qin Chuan's mood that was originally a little depressed because of the frequent failures in refining Zhuji Dan reinvigorated himself.
Look at Cao Xiaolazy again, the first refining process is still going smoothly until now, and it has never failed. This couldn't help but make Qin Chuan sigh at Cao Xiaolazi's experience and talent.
The higher the grade of the elixir, the more difficult it will be to refine. As the head of the house, there are too many places to be distracted, and alchemy, which is an extremely experience-oriented work, is no longer suitable for me to participate in. It's better to leave it to Cao Xiaolazi, a professional, to be in charge.
Thinking of this, Qin Chuan waved his hand lightly, dissipated all the things that had been conjured up such as medicinal herbs, tools, and Ding Furnace, and then walked out of the Void Refining Room lightly.
Cao Xiaolazy didn't know about Qin Chuan's departure at all, and the whole person was completely immersed in the world of alchemy.
Walking out of the Void Refining Room, Qin Chuan looked up at the blue sky and let out a long breath, refreshed.
Qin Chuan has always been very confident in his talent. The frequent failures of refining Zhuji Dan this time did not make him feel hit, but he realized more clearly one point, that is, a person's life has limited energy. No matter how talented a person is, it is impossible to reach the level of omnipotence.
For those who are in a leadership position, they don't need to be talented, but they must be good at using talent. Such a leader is a qualified leader.
For example, although his alchemy skills are not outstanding, he can make Cao Xiaolazy die for himself. With this, it is still possible to ensure that the Feather Gate has an endless stream of pills to use. That's enough.
In the matter of alchemy, he no longer needs to mix with it, just leave it all to Cao Xiaolazy. Next, Qin Chuan was going to go to the Central City first to buy some pills and talismans that could play an important role in the battle. Using the decomposition room, all the production methods are decomposed to improve the technical strength of the sect.
Without further ado. Qin Chuan immediately set off for Central City.
Now that the Chongxiao Spirit Crane had been taken away by the disciples who had gone out to train, Qin Chuan could no longer control it to the Central City. In order to save time, I can only spend spirit stones and use the teleportation circle rented from the Immortal Dao Alliance.
The teleportation circle can be called the most convenient means of transportation in the world of cultivating immortals. After paying the teleportation fee, the circle was immediately operational. Qin Chuan only felt a fluctuation in the space around him, and then when he opened his eyes, he was already in the teleportation location of Central City.
This kind of speed is incomparable to the Spirit Crane that rushes into the sky.
If the Feather Gate can also master the teleportation array technology, then in the future, whether it is a mission, a battle, a chase or a life, it will be invincible.
The teleportation circle is located outside of Central City, but it's not that far away. Walking out of the teleportation array, Qin Chuan entered the central city in a moment.
The city is still bustling and lively, as it was in the past. The shops and stalls in the city are full of clamour, and each seller is enthusiastic about attracting customers.
Qin Chuan had a clear goal and was not impressed by their enthusiasm. After entering the city, first go straight to the Tianfu Hall.
Tianfu Hall is the most famous talisman sales shop in the central city of the one-star region. This Heavenly Rune Hall not only has a magnificent appearance, but also covers an extremely large area, and a shop the size of the Feather Pavilion in the Feather Gate is fifty combined, and it is not as big as this Heavenly Rune Hall.
Qin Chuan carefully selected in the Heavenly Rune Hall, and soon selected a set of Five Elements Escape Talismans, a set of Spirit Talismans, and a set of Qi Gathering Talismans.
Three sets of talismans, adding up to less than twenty pieces, but the price is nearly a thousand spirit stones. This made Qin Chuan deeply feel that the business opportunities contained in the talisman were no less than pills.
Naturally, in the Yuhua Gate, in addition to Cao Xiaolazi, Pan Yunrong is also a treasure.
In addition to Tianfu Hall, Qin Chuan went straight to another well-known big shop, Danding Pavilion.
As you can guess from the name of the Danding Pavilion, this is exactly the place where the No. 1 Alchemy Sect in the One-Star Region, the Danding Sect, is responsible for selling pills in the Central City. Most of the commonly used pills, including Tsukidan, can be found here.
The scale and momentum of Danding Pavilion is even above that of Tianfu Hall. Qin Chuan walked into the door, and immediately the staff in the pavilion stepped forward to receive him.
This staff member is obviously strictly trained, and he always has a friendly smile on his face, but Qin Chuan can feel that his smile is just a professional smile, in fact, this staff member is not enthusiastic about himself at all.
It's easy to understand. Because the clothing of each member of the Immortal Dao Alliance has clear identity information. Looking at Qin Chuan's clothes, you can know that he is just a new sect that has not long joined the alliance.
Among the new sects, the economic strength is in the upper reaches, and there are only a few thousand spirit stones. This bit of wealth can't even buy a Tsukidan. Therefore, the staff who are accustomed to seeing big scenes and big scrives are of course not interested in facing Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan didn't bother to care about a staff member's attitude. According to the list he had prepared in advance, he purchased a Baiyang Pill, a Heavenly King Killing Pill and a Qingyuan Pill.
The staff member saw it in his eyes, and secretly disdained it in his heart: "I only buy one pill at a time, and I am actually embarrassed to come to Danding Pavilion!" The small sect is really poor. ”
Qin Chuan thought in his heart: "You can maintain your sense of superiority now. When one day, when the pill produced by my Yuhua Sect completely replaces your Danding Sect, at that time, I hope you can continue to maintain your sense of superiority! ”
