Chapter 42: Beginner in Alchemy
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shone over the earth, and the houses around the training ground were full of gold. In the training ground, a thin figure persistently moved his steps, and his shadow was stretched slender under the illumination of the setting sun.
For an afternoon, Yun Zhizhi didn't stop, and when he was tired of running, he leaned on the railing on the side to rest for a while and drank two sips of Qingling Spring, and continued to run after resting. Yun Zhichu didn't know how many times he had rested, let alone how many laps he had run, but he felt that there was no strength in his body now.
There was a blackness in front of him, and Yun Chuchu understood that this had already reached the limit of his body, and it would only be harmful if he continued to do so. I stopped and adjusted my breathing, and it took a while to calm my heart that was about to beat out.
Sensing it with mental power, several people in the small world had already finished soaking in the hot springs and went to the small courtyard to rest. Yun Zhizhi directly dodged into the hot spring courtyard, took off his coat with his body, and slid down the pool. As soon as he entered the hot spring, Yun Chuchu's eyes were black and he didn't know anything.
In this way, Yun Zhichu exercised with Elegy and them every day, three hours a day, and the rest of the time was in addition to cultivation, Yun Zhichu began to learn alchemy under the pressure of the old man in the snow mountain. Although there was no fire element at the beginning of the cloud for the time being, this did not affect the teachings of the old man of the Snow Mountain.
Starting from knowing the names of herbs, to figuring out the medicinal properties and growth environment of various herbs, etc., the old man of Snow Mountain believed that in the near future, Yun Zhichu would definitely awaken the fire element.
Until the spring of the second year, the indicators of Yunchu's body were almost the same as those of the 21st century, but he was young and still lacked strength.
In terms of alchemy, Yun Chuchu found that the flames of the snowball could replace his own fire element. As for the wood element itself, it helps the alchemist to perceive the state of the medicinal materials, and at present, Yun Chuchu is only exposed to the most basic herbs, and his dependence on the wood element is not very great for the time being.
A month ago, Yun Zhizhi could refine the most basic Pei Yuan Dan. Pei Yuan Dan is the most commonly used pill for cultivators, which is used to consolidate their own spiritual power, and it also has the effect of slightly increasing spiritual power, but the effect of improving spiritual power is not very large.
A kind of pill that is very similar to the effect of Pei Yuan Dan is called Gu Yuan Dan, which belongs to the intermediate pill. Gu Yuan Dan is not only very good at helping cultivators consolidate their realm, but it can also be used for impact levels. The effect of Gu Yuan Dan in improving spiritual power is also good, but the price is five times that of Pei Yuan Dan.
In the past month, Yun Zhizhi has refined hundreds of Pei Yuan Dan, distributed some to a few people in Elegy, kept a dozen for himself, and the rest went into Xueqiu's stomach. Snowball had been squatting at the mouth of the Qingling Spring Well before, pouting his little ass and drinking water, and he had never seen it eat anything else.
Yun Zhichu even thought that Snowball could be full by drinking water, but it turned out that he was feeding something wrong. It's just that Xueqiu's rations are really unusual, you must know that although Pei Yuan is a basic pill, if you buy it in the market, it will cost at least five thousand taels of silver. This month, more than 200 snowballs were eaten, and it was more than a million taels of silver.
"It's really burning money, this is still a child, fortunately I learned alchemy from my master, otherwise I really can't afford to raise it." Yun couldn't help but sigh at the beginning.
At present, the medicinal materials of the primary pill are relatively cheap, one medicinal material is about 30 taels of silver, and one medicinal material can be refined into 30 Peiyuan Dan at the beginning of the cloud. In this way, the cost price of a Pei Yuan Dan is only one tael of silver.
Yun Zhichu still remembers the scene when Pei Yuan Dan became a Dan that day, the old man of Snow Mountain opened the alchemy furnace, and 30 white and chubby Pei Yuan Dan were lying inside. The face of the old man in the snow mountain went from excitement, to excitement, to surprise, and finally said the word "perverted" to Yun Zhichu and turned his head and left.
The attitude of the old man in the snow mountain made Yun Chuchu a little confused, and he once thought that there was something wrong with the Pei Yuan Dan he had refined. After trying to swallow a pill at the beginning of the day, he clearly felt that there was a stream of heat flowing slowly through the position of the dantian. This shows that there is no problem with the elixir he refined, but Yun Chuchu is still a little worried about the performance of the old man in the snow mountain.
It wasn't until after dinner that day that Yun Zhichu humbly asked the old man of Snow Mountain for advice, and the old man of Snow Mountain didn't know how many times he was trembling by Yun Chuchu's anger, and he had to solve her doubts.
"It's not in vain to say that you are a pervert, this is your first time refining medicine, not to mention a success, and 30 pills have been produced in one furnace. Do you know that under normal circumstances, a beginner who succeeds in refining the first pot of pills within twenty times is already a genius, and half of the 10 pills that are refined in one furnace are wasted. ”
"Don't say anything else, just the alchemy furnace you asked Mei'er girl to buy, it's a piece of broken copper and iron. If there is an alchemy furnace from the hands of a famous artist, I am afraid that the number of your Cheng Dan will increase a lot. ”
Yun Zhichu couldn't help but complain when he heard the words of the old man in the snow mountain: "Then according to what you say, refining a furnace of elixir will cost 600 taels of silver, and it will take a month." It's hard to get out of a furnace, and half of it is wasted, isn't this a cheat? ”
The old man of the Snow Mountain glanced at Yun Zhichu angrily: "What are you doing as an elixir?" Every pill is the hard work of the alchemist, okay, otherwise why do you think the price of a pill is so expensive! This is still a primary pill, if it is a high-grade pill, just some medicinal materials will need nearly a million, and if it fails a few times, the refining cycle is long, and it is not surprising that a high-grade pill is sold for tens of millions. ”
Yun Zhizhi's eyes lit up instantly, as if he saw a pile of silver and beckoned to him. It turns out that the alchemist is so profitable, according to the old man of the Snow Mountain, if you find a high-end alchemy furnace, it is not a dream to produce 50 pills per furnace. That way, you don't have to worry about money.
The pills refined in this month have basically been eaten up by Snowball, and there are not many medicinal materials left that I bought before, and there is still Tianbao Pavilion, Yun Zhizhi needs to deal with the accumulated things today.
Leaving the training ground, Yun Zhichu nibbled on a big white pear in his hand. As early as a few months ago, the fruits and vegetables planted at the beginning of the cloud had already blossomed and borne fruit. I don't know why, it takes a few years of planting in the outside world for a seedling to grow. When they grow, the tree will only bear fruit once a year.
But in the small world at the beginning of the cloud, it was different, and these fruit trees were planted for 5 months, and they could bear fruit in 4 months and 3 weeks after they were grown. Several people have tasted it at the beginning of the clouds, and those ordinary fruits that can no longer be ordinary gradually have aura after being watered by the clear spirit spring at the beginning of the clouds. I believe that after a while, these fruits will become spiritual fruits.
When he came to Tianbao Pavilion, Yun Zhizhi consciously waited for the Mo brothers in the reception room. About half an hour later, Mo Wuwu and Mo Wuxian walked in, followed by Ouyang Yi in red.
