Chapter 21 The First Alchemy Flows
Tsukuji Dan, as the name suggests, is an elixir that helps monks build a foundation.
If the pill has a grade, the Zhuji Dan can only be regarded as a low-grade pill.
Sales are the largest, and the quality is also uneven.
In fact, there is no fixed Dan recipe for Zhuji Dan, and different sects and different alchemists make different Zhuji Dan.
However, no matter what kind of foundation building pill it is, the effect is almost the same, it is just to help build the foundation.
The most serious consequence of Tsukidan's diversification is that the temperament gap between Tsukidan is too large.
When the Tsukidan first appeared, a Tsukidan could make the late-stage Qi cultivation cultivators successfully build a foundation.
Now it is almost impossible to find an elixir that can succeed in Tsukidan.
Only the Tsukidan, refined by the top sects and families, can build a foundation in one piece.
However, the pills of those sects and families are basically not sold to the outside world, and even if they are sold, they are only sold in small amounts.
The high-quality Tsukidan on the market can be said to be more monks and less porridge, and it is not enough at all.
Xue Hong wanted to use the remaining spirit stones to buy a material for refining Zhuji Dan, and then there were only thirteen spirit stones left.
If the refining fails, he will be almost penniless.
The price of one Zhuji Dan refining material is around fifty spirit stones.
The price of the finished Tsukidan is generally fifty spirit stones.
One furnace builds the foundation Dan, and the Cheng Dan has two to five pieces, and the profit is still very objective.
In fact, the sales of Tsukidan are not very good.
Nowadays, people are more refined than the other, and buying Tsukidan is also carefully selected.
Although the appearance cannot directly observe the specific effect of a Tsukidan, it can also be seen seven, seven, eighty, eight.
Ordinary people buy Tsukidan and go to a time-honored store.
Xue Hong's plunge into the Zhujidan market may not have good results.
With all the preparations, Xue Hong took the Dan furnace and materials to find a shop that rented out the alchemy room.
Alchemy requires fire and a quiet environment, and the business of renting out alchemy rooms has also come into being.
The price of the alchemy room is also high and low, different flames, different sound insulation effects, the price is different.
Renting the cheapest alchemy room with ten spirit stones, Xue Hong couldn't help but sigh.
"It's too difficult to live in the cultivation realm......"
There are only three spirit stones, and if the refining fails, you really have to find a way to hunt demon beasts to earn spirit stones.
The concentration of spiritual energy in the cultivation realm is indeed good, but the cost of life is also very high.
Xue Hong spent ten spirit stones, and could only rent the alchemy room for half an hour.
Considering the failure rate of alchemy, in fact, the life of an alchemist is not so easy.
After entering the room, Xue Hong was not in a hurry to start alchemy.
Alchemy requires calmness, and impetuousness is doomed to failure.
Meditate first to calm your mind and steady your breathing.
Half an hour is very short, but it is still enough to refine Tsukidan.
A stick of incense time has passed, and half an hour has passed.
Xue Hong finally made a move.
The brass dan stove is set on the ground fire, preheated, and the temperature is controlled, all in one go.
Only Xue Hong himself was in the room, and no one appreciated this scene.
If other people see it, they will definitely not be able to help but exclaim.
Alchemist alchemy, which is not careful.
Like Xue Hong, there is no one who throws the Dan furnace.
But such an action carries an indescribable beauty.
After the preheating is completed, the medicinal herbs are arranged in turn, and they are thrown into the Dan furnace.
If the alchemist saw this scene, he would definitely scold Xue Hong for not understanding alchemy.
Material purification needs to be carried out step by step.
Different materials correspond to different purification temperatures.
Xue Hong threw all the materials into the Dan Furnace in one go, and he needed to spend a lot of Divine Sense to distinguish the temperature of the Dan Furnace into several different areas.
The herbs are melted and impurities are removed.
Everything is so natural.
An alchemy comparable to art.
At a glance, Xue Hong's every action was very aggressive, and it seemed that he didn't use his heart to refine the pill at all.
But insiders can see that those seemingly random movements, each of which is extremely exquisite.
Every move is just right.
Thick and fine, seemingly reckless but not chaotic at all.
After the seven medicinal materials were purified, all the medicinal liquids began to fuse.
This is followed by a low-temperature roast to allow the water in the liquid to evaporate.
This process requires patience and should only be done with a small fire.
If it is a fire, it may destroy the effect of the herb itself, and the gains outweigh the losses.
However, Xue Hong didn't have that much time.
Half an hour, half the time is wasted in meditation.
It also took a lot of time to preheat the furnace.
By the time he was preparing Ning Dan, half an hour was almost over.
The aura surged, and the temperature in the Dan furnace was raised to the limit.
The liquid medicine boils, and the water evaporates rapidly.
After three breaths, the water is almost evaporated.
The liquid medicine becomes a paste.
The last and most critical step.
Infusion!
The so-called spiritual infusion is to infuse the elixir with spiritual energy.
The amount of aura infused determines the quantity and quality of Cheng Dan.
Xue Hong had been sitting, but his divine sense was running wildly.
Spiritual energy frantically poured into the Dan furnace.
The last water is squeezed out, and the aura replaces the water as part of the elixir.
The aura in the entire room was instantly evacuated and poured into the Dan furnace.
In the rented alchemy room, the concentration of aura is not too high, but it is more than enough to refine some low-grade pills.
It's time!
Xue Hong pinched the time, slapped the bottom of the Dan furnace with one hand, and five round pills flew out.
Catching the Tsukidan he had refined, Xue Hong put it under his nose and sniffed it.
"Yes, there is no trace of medicinal fragrance, and the fragrance is completely restrained, which is what a top-grade Zhuji Dan should look like. ”
At the end of half an hour, Xue Hong left the alchemy room with his Dan furnace and five Zhuji Dan.
There is a free-trade bazaar in the city, and the bazaar is mixed, and most of the goods sold are defective.
But there is a reason why the bazaar has survived.
First of all, buying and selling in the Free Bazaar did not require paying taxes to the Lord's Palace.
Secondly, the buying and selling price in the market is also negotiated between the two parties, and there is no need for old-fashioned pricing.
The most important point is that there are occasionally excellent things in the market, and some people who have no way to sell will come to the market to trade.
Xue Hong found a random place in the market, did not set up a stall, but just set up a tile casually.
A line of words was written on the tile: Zhuji Dan, five hundred spirit stones.
That's right, it's five hundred spirit stones.
Other people's Zhuji Dan is one fifty spirit stones, even if the Zhuji Dan produced by the big sect is only one hundred spirit stones.
Xue Hong directly sold five hundred spirit stones, and it would be hellish if he could sell them.
However, Xue Hong himself didn't think so, and he even felt that his price was lower.
Five hundred spirit stones, which is only ten times the price of ordinary Zhuji Dan.
But Xue Hong's effect on this Tsukidan is definitely ten times more than that of ordinary Tsukidan.
Xue Hong also wanted to sell it more expensive, but he was worried that he wouldn't be able to sell it
It's good that one of the five hundred spirit stones can be sold.
After all, the cost was less than twenty spirit stones.
Starting from the purchase of the Dan furnace, Xue Hong spent a total of more than eighty spirit stones, five of which became Dan, and selling one was blood to earn.
