Chapter 120: Encouragement
The person who walked into the alchemy room from the outside early in the morning was none other than Cao Xiaolazi.
Cao Xiaolazy has been obsessed with alchemy since he was a child, and he has almost reached the level of fanaticism. In the Immortal Spirit Sect, the desire for alchemy has been suppressed for many years, and now that he finally has a chance to realize it, how can he be willing to waste it! I went back to sleep last night, and I have been refining the pill even in my dreams.
After waking up this morning, he first rushed into the dining hall and ate a full stomach full of food, so that he would no longer feel hungry all day today and could concentrate on alchemy.
Now after entering the Void Refining Room, Cao Xiaolazy immediately found that the senior brother in charge was sitting in front of the medicine ding, his brows furrowed slightly, thoughtful. And in the utensils placed beside him, there were many pills that had failed to be refined, some in the form of lumps, some in the form of paste, and some in the form of black.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xiaolan couldn't help but ask Qin Chuan: "Senior Brother in charge, how many times have you refined it from last night to now?" ”
Qin Chuan sighed and said, "It's been refined fifteen times. Fifteen times all failed. ”
Cao Xiaolazy smiled: "It's only fifteen times, it's early!" There are still twenty-five and thirty-five failures waiting for you! I was learning to refine the Bone Strengthening Pill, but I failed thirty-nine times before I succeeded! Although the elixir for refining the Bone Strengthening Pill is relatively cheap, and we can grow it on the Immortal Spirit Mountain, the sect master is still distressed, and since then, I have greatly restricted the number of times I can use the elixir. ”
"Thirty-nine times? I don't think I have to fail so much......" Qin Chuan said to Cao Xiaolan while carefully reviewing every step in the process of Fang Cai's failed alchemy.
Cao Xiaolan didn't believe it, and said, "When I was refining the Bone Strengthening Pill, I had been learning alchemy with my master for two years. And the senior brother in charge only started to learn alchemy yesterday, thirty-nine times, only a few! ”
Qin Chuan no longer paid attention to him at this time. Stand up, take out the elixir that has already been conjured from the medicine basket, and continue to start from the first step.
Crushing, mixing, furnace and fire control...... Although all of them failed in the previous fifteen times, they had already accumulated a lot of experience for Qin Chuan. At this time, every step is extremely skillful.
Compared to Qin Chuan, Cao Xiaolan can already be regarded as an alchemy expert. Looking at Qin Chuan's work from the side, he couldn't even find the slightest shortcoming. I couldn't help but look at admiration in my eyes.
Although the senior brother in charge is doomed to fail this time, he is already excellent to be able to do this!
After the alchemy has reached the stage of controlling the flames, every next step must be treated attentively. Cao Xiaolazy knew that he couldn't disturb Qin Chuan at this time, so he stopped looking at him, walked to the other side, and began to conjure up various tools and items to prepare.
Just as Cao Xiaolan finished his preparations and began to bury his head in the elixir and prepare to start alchemy, a "bang" suddenly sounded beside him, and the lid of the Qinchuan Alchemy Pill Furnace suddenly rushed into the air, and then fell to the side.
Cao Xiaolazy was attracted by this movement and turned his head to look. I saw that in the Dan furnace of Qinchuan, a light yellow pill slowly rose from the bottom, and at the same time, the fragrance of the medicine overflowed.
Qin Chuan stretched out his hand with great agility, grabbed the pill into his hand, looked left and right with affection, and smiled excitedly: "Haha, it's successful!" It worked! ”
The successful release of the Bone Strengthening Pill was watched by Cao Xiaolan himself. But he still couldn't believe it.
At the beginning, he had refined the Bone Strengthening Pill thirty-nine times, and he had already been praised as a genius by his master. Now, Qin Chuan, who is a beginner in alchemy, has also refined it in only sixteen times, which is really incredible!
"Senior Brother Boss, you are really amazing! At the beginning, Master kept praising me as an alchemy genius, which made me really think I was a genius. Now I know that the reason why Master praised me was because he had never seen anything like you! ”
In Cao Xiaolazi's words, there was both admiration for Qin Chuan and his own loss. He is a simple-minded person who does not admire fame, if he is not as good as Qin Chuan in other aspects, he will definitely not mind in the slightest.
However, alchemy is something that Cao Xiaolazy is obsessed with, and he has been praised by his master since he was a child. It is impossible to be easily surpassed by others in the aspects of which you are proud and not lose in your heart.
Qin Chuan was thoughtful, and from Cao Xiaolazi's expression and tone, he immediately keenly noticed his changes.
After repeated failures, he was able to successfully refine the Bone Strengthening Pill, and his results surpassed that of the alchemy talent Cao Xiaolazy by a lot, Qin Chuan was of course very happy in his heart.
But in addition to being happy, he also has his own thoughts.
As the head of the house, he is responsible for the whole of "Feather Gate". The right thing to do is to know every part of the sect so that you can control it, but you can't put too much energy into one part.
After all, human energy is limited. If you focus too much on one area, you will inevitably neglect others.
Therefore, it is okay to learn alchemy by yourself, but you can't let it occupy too much of your time and energy.
In the future, the issue of pills in the sect will still have to be Cao Xiaola, the elder of the Danfang, as the main force.
In order for him to make great progress in Dandao, his positive surname must not be dampened, and Cao Xiaolan must be allowed to maintain absolute confidence in this field.
After thinking about these questions, Qin Chuan immediately said with a solemn expression: "Little lazy, you are wrong. The effect of my refining Bone Strengthening Pill is better than yours, and that is because I am in the Void Refining Room, and I don't have to worry about failure at all, and I don't have to worry about the cost at all. Therefore, you can devote yourself wholeheartedly to alchemy. And you, when you were refining outside, you had to pay attention to the steps and techniques of alchemy, and you also had to worry about the losses caused by failure, so it would definitely be difficult for you to invest all your energy. This is due to external interference, not because you are not qualified. I believe that if you had also been refining the Bone Strengthening Pill in the Void Refining Room at the beginning, your results would definitely not be worse than mine! ”
Cao Xiaolazy listened to Qin Chuan's comforting words, and thought back carefully, when he was just learning to refine the Bone Strengthening Pill, he was indeed under a lot of pressure. Not only was the master present, but the sect leader of the Immortal Spirit Sect, Su Linfeng, was also present. Every time he failed, the sect master would frown and tell him to be careful and cautious over and over again, and not to waste the precious elixir. It made me very nervous. It can't be compared to the state of freehand in the Void Refining Room.
If I had such a free environment at the beginning, I believe that I would have achieved better results!
Thinking like this, the self-confidence that I had lost was finally gradually restored.
"Senior brother, thank you for your encouragement! In fact, I also think that I am stupid in other aspects, but in terms of alchemy, it should still be okay. In the future, I will definitely redouble my efforts to prove my strength to the senior brother in charge! Cao Xiaolazy said to Qin Chuan with high morale.
Qin Chuan saw it in his eyes and was greatly satisfied. As a leader, the most important thing to do is to win the loyalty of subordinates, rather than compete with subordinates for the limelight.
Now that Cao Xiaolan can regain his spirits, it is a great thing for himself and for Yuhuamen.
Patting Cao Xiaolazy's shoulder, Qin Chuan said, "Come on, Xiaolazy!" Prove it not only to me, but also to yourself. You are the best alchemy talent! ”
"Don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely do it!"
After Cao Xiaolan was encouraged, he was greatly excited, and went to alchemy with high morale.
He is an elder of the Danfang, and he can ignore everything and concentrate on alchemy. But Qin Chuan can't. As the head of the Feather Sect, in addition to the Danfang, there are more things waiting for him to make decisions and deal with.
After walking out of the alchemy room, Qin Chuan first went to the dining hall to have some food, and then went straight to the spiritual field on Dalin Peak.
Now, the task of alchemy inheritance has been completed. After the tempering of the Void Refining Room, Cao Xiaolan will definitely grow into a qualified alchemist quickly. The day when the Yuhua Sect refines the pill by itself is already in the future.
However, at this moment, the serious problem of "insufficient elixir" was also placed in front of Qin Chuan.
Even if a low-grade elixir is refined, several or even a dozen elixirs are often required as materials. And that's without considering failure.
In the southwest area of the Kunxu Mountain Range, there are mountains and valleys with elixirs, and none of them belong to the Yuhua Gate. Relying only on a medicinal spirit rabbit to go out and steal, the number of three plants a day is simply impossible to meet the needs of alchemy.
Therefore, the issue of elixir has become urgent. You must immediately upgrade the spiritual field and grow your own elixir.
The two elixirs and fifteen lower-grade spirit stones needed to upgrade the spiritual field were all in Qin Chuan's hands at this time.
Coming to the side of Lingtian and finding the place where the upgrade formation was, Qin Chuan filled in all the things he needed.
I saw that the originally quiet and peaceful spiritual field suddenly surged in the sky, and the crops planted in the spiritual field were also restlessly swaying and shaking. At a glance, the green waves of twenty acres of spiritual fields are undulating, which is magnificent.
This vision is caused by the overflow of aura during the upgrade. It only lasted for a moment, and Qin Chuan heard the prompt sound of the head system: "Lingtian has been upgraded successfully!" ”
Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart - it was successful! Now Lingtian's level has reached the third level, which is the highest level among all the special buildings in the Feather Gate. I wonder if it will have the function of cultivating elixir from now on like it did in the game world?
Qin Chuan couldn't wait to open the information interface and check the basic information of Lingtian:
The third-level spiritual field comes with its own adjustment formation, which can greatly accelerate the growth rate of crops in it, and at the same time weaken the impact of natural weather changes on the crops in the spiritual field; The land area that can be planted in Linggu has been increased to two acres; And it can be planted with elixir, with an area of one acre.
Haha, sure enough! From now on, Lingtian can not only cultivate the Spirit Valley, but also have the ability to grow the elixir!
Although the area is only one acre, this is already a great improvement compared to the previous situation of only relying on rabbits to go out and steal elixirs to make a living!
As long as you buy the required elixir seeds, this acre of elixir field will definitely bring you rich returns!
However, when he thought of the word "buy", Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel a little worried.
As a family member, he knows best that there are too many places to spend money to maintain the normal operation of such a big stall as Yuhuamen.
The last time I went to Cloud City to sell some items, I earned one hundred and fifty spirit stones, which was already quite a lot of income. However, after returning to the sect, it cost eighteen yuan to repair the Danfang, five yuan to activate the Void Refining Room, another fifteen yuan to upgrade the spiritual field, and forty yuan to buy various items in Cloud City. One hundred and fifty spirit stones, before they are hot, more than half of them have already gone!
This purchase; Elixir seeds, presumably, will also be a huge expense. After the alchemy room is officially put into operation, the speed of consuming spirit stones will be even faster.
As the head of the family, I can't relax, I still have to continue to find a way to earn spirit stones!
I have to say that it is really hard to start from scratch and develop a poor and white sect step by step. However, Qin Chuan is bitter in his body and happy in his heart.
At this time, sweating is for a good return in the future. Watering an evergreen foundation with sweat, for men, there is nothing more fulfilling than this!
After the Lingtian was upgraded, Qin Chuan rushed back to the main peak and found Su Qianxue, the elder of internal affairs.
Su Qianxue was in charge of the internal affairs of the sect and had experience in cultivating elixirs. The third-level Lingtian naturally has to be handed over to her to take care of.
Just like Cao Xiaolazi's strong interest in faces, Su Qianxue also has a natural love for the cultivation of elixirs. At this time, he was in the Scripture Pavilion, carefully studying the book "Linggu Elixir Cultivation Minutes" collected inside. Hearing Qin Chuan say that the spiritual field had been upgraded, and from now on he would not only be able to plant the Spirit Valley, but also the elixir, Su Qianxue was overjoyed, and immediately pulled Qin Chuan back to Dalin Peak again.
Ping said that Su Qianxue likes to wear white clothes, and pays great attention to keeping it neat, and the whole person is like a fairy and spotless. But once she arrives in the spiritual field, Su Qianxue will leave all her temperament, image and the like behind her. In his eyes, there are only twenty acres of land in front of him.
Today, of course, is no exception. After standing next to Lingtian and observing for a while, Su Qianxue really noticed the changes in Lingtian. Excited, he shook his feet, immediately threw his shoes aside, and then plunged into the spiritual field with a pair of snow-white feet.
Picking up a handful of soil from the spiritual field in the palm of his hand, and twisting it a few times with his tender fingers like spring onions, the expression on Su Qianxue's face became even more excited, and he turned his head to Qin Chuan and said, "Senior Brother in charge, all the crops in the spiritual field except for the spiritual valley, Qianxue must uproot them all!" ”
"Uprooted? Why? In just over a month, these crops will be ready to be harvested. We have hundreds of mouths in Yuhuamen, and most of them have to rely on these seventeen acres of crops to eat! Qin Chuan didn't understand. Except for two acres of spirit valley field and one acre of spirit medicine field, the other lands currently have no special functions. What can be planted when the crops are uprooted?
"It's a waste of land to rely on just to feed on it! The ration problem of our Yuhuamen can be solved by buying ordinary fields at the bottom of the mountain. With these seventeen acres of spiritual field, Qianxue can turn it all into an important source of spiritual stones for the senior brother of the sect! ”
