The elixir used by immortal cultivators is divided into elixir, Dao pill, and elixir, and the elixir can only be taken by monks who have become immortals, and it may take thousands of years to refine each furnace of elixir.

The Dao Pill contains innate spiritual light, and after taking it, it can comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, which is more precious than the elixir, and the pills taken by immortal cultivators in the mortal world are all elixirs.

The elixir is divided into nine grades, and the elixir above the fifth order has been rare to see in a hundred years, and every bottle that appears will trigger a competition among the Jindan monks, and the sixth-order elixir is more likely to trigger a melee between the super factions, bringing chaos that has swept the monks of dozens of countries.

The higher the grade of the elixir, the more difficult it is to refine, the more materials required, and the harsher the refining conditions.

The mantle of loose cultivation inherited by the ancestor of the Zhang family has the ability to refine the pill, and when he was alive, he was already able to refine the four-grade spirit pill.

It's a pity that after the ancestor sat down, the family no longer cultivated a high-grade alchemist.

Although the Ancestor of Chuyun has a higher cultivation, it is a pity that he is not good at alchemy and refining weapons, and his best skill is refining magic talismans.

Although the family was not able to inherit his magic mantle, he also left three fourth-order spirit runes to the family.

It's a pity that in the past hundred years, the family's development has not been smooth, and it has repeatedly encountered great enemies, so two have been used, and the remaining one is also left in the Ancestral Pavilion in preparation for possible wars in the future.

Now the highest-ranking alchemist in the family is Jiubo Zhang Mengquan, and he is only a second-order high-grade alchemist. He can skillfully refine more than a dozen kinds of elixirs, and the best one is the second-order mid-grade Golden Bud Pill.

The Golden Bud Pill is refined from the Yellow Bud Grass as the main medicine, and the Jin Yuzhi and Zhongyuan Ginseng Erwei first-order elixir are used as auxiliary medicines, which are suitable for monks in the middle and late stages of Qi training, which can improve the monk's mana, and can also break through the bottleneck with the Barrier Breaking Pill.

The refining process of the Golden Bud Pill is much more difficult than that of the ordinary first-order elixir, and although the ordinary first-order elixir is rich in spiritual energy, it can also be used to refine the pill with mortal fire.

And the Golden Bud Pill is a second-order elixir, and Fan Huo can no longer refine the elixir, so he can only use the spiritual fire to refine the elixir.

With Zhang Mengquan and other seven or eight people joining, the progress of picking yellow bud grass was several times faster, and in less than a morning, everyone finished picking spiritual grass.

Alchemist Zhang Mengquan didn't have time to rest, he immediately took out a jade box from his body, he hit a spiritual power on the jade box, and an idea flashed on the jade box, and a brass-colored alchemy furnace more than a foot high appeared in the open space.

This jade box is also a second-order high-grade storage magic weapon, this type of storage magic weapon is made of empty bright stone, and the second-order high-grade storage jade box, the space inside is already three feet square, enough to store a lot of things.

Storage artifacts are more precious than ordinary ritual vessels, and their prices are a little higher in the market.

A second-order high-grade storage jade box like Zhang Mengquan is at least worth more than four or five hundred spirit stones.

There were more than 100 monks in the Zhang family, and only six elders had storage artifacts on their bodies.

Even a monk like Zhang Zhixuan, who has a small fortune, can't afford a second-order lower-grade storage jade box with only one foot square of storage space.

Zhang Mengquan recuperated his internal breath, first used a paper talisman to ignite the Xuanyang wood, then took a bucket of well water from the spiritual well, and slowly threw the elixir into the alchemy furnace in order, holding the alchemy method in his hand, and strictly controlling the temperature of the spiritual fire.

After the elixir completely melted and he could smell the fragrance of the medicine, he took out a yellow bud grass from the sandalwood box, and his face gradually became serious, no longer the relaxed color he had before.

After the elixir completely melted into a liquid state, he added a trace of spiritual water, and then played one magic decision after another.

Soon, Dingzhong had successfully condensed five pills, and the remaining pill liquid evaporated, releasing bursts of white vapor from the top cover, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the liquid medicine had completely evaporated, and five elixirs flew out of the alchemy furnace from the mouth of the medicine and shot towards the surrounding people.

When the elixir is baked, it cannot be contaminated with the acquired qi, and a special method of collecting the pill is required to isolate the air.

It is best to use gold and jade utensils when collecting the elixir to prevent the elixir from being tainted with vulgarity.

Zhang Mengquan quickly took out a jade bottle and played a decisive decision to collect the pill.

Among the five elixirs, two of them had not yet flown out of the Dan furnace, they turned into a stream of pure aura and scattered on the ground, and the remaining three flew towards the jade bottle, the first two were golden all over, and the latter one had a trace of gray gas.

Zhang Mengquan put the first two into the jade bottle, and the back one pinched it with his hand, with a trace of small gray spots in the golden elixir.

This elixir has been contaminated with vulgarity and has become a waste elixir, which is toxic and can no longer be taken.

Zhang Mengquan poured out a pill from the jade bottle, the elixir was golden all over, the size of a baby's thumb, exuding a pale golden luster, and the fragrance was compelling.

Monk alchemy, generally ten pills in one furnace, some special alchemy masters, through a special pill, can refine the materials that were originally refined ten pills into twelve pills, and the effect of the medicine will not decrease.

But a low-level alchemist like Zhang Mengquan is far from being able to do this.

"This is the first furnace of pills today, the fireworks of the alchemy furnace are still relatively large, and the number of Cheng Dan is also smaller, this furnace should be a warm alchemy furnace." Zhang Mengquan said a few words to himself, rested for half an hour, and continued to start alchemy.

It takes about a quarter of an hour to refine a furnace of Golden Bud Pill, and then the alchemy furnace must be cleaned to completely remove the impurities.

In about an hour, you can refine four furnaces of Golden Bud Pill.

Starting from noon, Zhang Mengquan continuously refined twenty-four furnaces of elixir, and did not stop alchemy until his mana failed.

When he was alchemizing, he also explained it from time to time, and he did not shy away from others learning alchemy.

Seeing that everyone couldn't understand, he had to demonstrate it himself.

If you want to learn the profession of alchemist, it takes a lot of resources, and even an immortal cultivator like the Zhang family can only support three or four monks to learn alchemy.

These three or four alchemy apprentices can often only successfully train one or two alchemists.

Therefore, most of the old alchemists have some sense of distress, hoping that the younger generations of monks in the family can learn alchemy and inherit their mantle.

A family, if it does not have its own alchemist, the supply of the pill is almost entirely in the hands of the man, and if other alchemists make trouble in the pill, it may face even greater trouble.

Three thousand years ago, there was a scattered cultivator who was extremely talented and had been able to refine a sixth-order high-grade spirit pill.

This person is a loose cultivator in the Yuan Infant Period, and he is famous for his superb alchemy in the immortal cultivation world.

Even many Yuan Infant Stage Great Cultivators relied on him to refine the elixir.

It was such a great monk who was respected by everyone, and he actually mixed the demon into the elixir, and any monk who took him to refine the elixir would be contaminated by his demonic thoughts, and he would be subject to him and become the demon he controlled.

Overnight, thirteen Yuanying monks and hundreds of Jindan high-level monks were controlled by him, causing the famous Dan Demon Rebellion in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

In this chaos that spanned a hundred years, nineteen Yuanying monks and hundreds of Jindan monks were successively lost.

For more than a thousand years, most of the monks did not dare to take the elixir refined by others.

After more than 1,000 years of joint rectification by dozens of major sects, especially the five major sects of the Alchemy Sect, Yaowang Mountain, Qingdan Pavilion, Xuandan Sect, and Danfa Sect, the Dan Alliance was formed, and the entire immortal cultivation world gradually restored its trust in the alchemist and began to buy elixirs from outside.

Even if the monks of the five major sects cooperate to protect it, most of the monks will not take the elixir of unknown origin until now.

The Zhang family's customers in Fang City are also local cultivators who have been practicing for many years, and they know each other well.

Relying on the credit that has been rooted in Lushan for hundreds of years, he can exchange the refined elixir for various resources for cultivating immortals.
