Chapter 159: Heading to the Alchemy Conference
On the outskirts of Muyan City, a young man was running alone, and above his shoulder, a small white beast was sitting.
The mysterious beast had a snow-white round belly, a pair of small wings tightly grasping the young man's ears, and a leisurely look.
Xiao Ling squinted his eyes, letting the strong wind blow on his face on both sides, at this time it was already the second day he left Muyan City, and he had been on the road for two days in a row, but Xiao Ling did not feel any tiredness.
And now, there are only three days left before the alchemy conference, since that day the old madman discovered Xiao Ling's amazing alchemy talent, after returning to Xiao Ling carefully noticed some information about the alchemist, he realized that when he was refining the Tianxin Pill before, he changed the amount of the formula at will, what a crazy thing it was.
You must know that these formulas have been refined by countless sages before they can be passed down to this day.
Even the people in the two great alchemist holy lands of Dan Domain and Immortal Spirit Holy Land would not easily try to change any of the formulas.
Because one is not good, not only will it not be possible to refine a better pill, but it will also be extremely prone to the dangerous situation of exploding the pill in the process of alchemy.
Xiao Ling, who didn't know anything about this, was a little scared after understanding it at the moment.
It's just that, in addition to being afraid, Xiao Ling carefully recalled the situation at that time, and he still remembered that when he was refining the Tianxin Pill, he just instinctively felt that something was wrong, so he subconsciously changed the weight of various materials.
This feeling is very familiar, and now that he thinks about it carefully, Xiao Ling suddenly understands that the feeling at that time is not the same as when he was cooking in his previous life.
In his previous life, Xiao Ling's instinct as a chef was that he could easily distinguish the reasonableness of the various ingredients in each dish just by looking at the recipe of each dish, and it was precisely because of this that he was able to become the head chef of a restaurant at a young age, which was categorically impossible for other people.
Xiao Ling also didn't expect that his instinct as a chef could be applied to alchemy.
This discovery suddenly made Xiao Ling a little excited.
And in the next ten days, Xiao Ling devoted himself to his alchemy career, and with the first successful experience, Xiao Ling successfully refined more than a dozen finished pills, although most of these pills are ordinary pills of two or three grades, but it is enough to make Xiao Ling quite proud.
After all, he was full of calculations, and he had only been exposed to alchemy for a month.
And in the last two days, Xiao Ling planned to refine a five-grade Blood Lotus Pill in order to be able to enter the alchemy conference.
This is something he has never tried before, in the past nearly a month, Xiao Ling has been constantly alchemizing, coupled with the support of the huge Xuan Qi in his body, at this moment his "Holy Spirit Heart Technique" has reached the peak of the third layer, and he only needs to give him a little more time to successfully break through to the fourth layer, which is equivalent to the realm of the martial artist.
And at the peak of the third layer, theoretically speaking, it is enough to refine any pill below the sixth grade, of course, this is just a theory, alchemy is not only based on the level of the alchemist's Xuan Qi, the most important thing is that it needs to be accumulated over the years.
However, Xiao Ling's situation was slightly different, the alchemy process of nearly a month before made him more and more experienced, especially when he tried to refine different pills, he could always instinctively find the areas that needed to be improved in the formula.
Therefore, the dozen or so pills that were refined before, according to the description of the original formula, were only some low-grade pills of the first and second grades, but Xiao Ling was always able to improve the quality by one level after a little change.
Of course, this is also related to the materials used by Xiao Ling, after all, in order to improve the success rate, Xiao Ling did not hesitate to spend money in the refining process, and used some expensive spirit herbs of five or six grades as medicinal guides.
However, even so, if someone else does it, I am afraid that even if they are given more than ** grade spirit grass, they may not be able to succeed.
There is no doubt that Xiao Ling's situation is a special case, and even he himself does not know why he has such an ability.
At this time, Xiao Ling, who was galloping, gently touched the small jade box in his arms, which contained the assessment pill he had gone to the alchemy conference this time, a five-grade blood lotus pill.
In order to refine a Blood Lotus Pill, Xiao Ling can be said to have invested in blood, and actually used a blood vine vine green worth four hundred amethyst coins as the main medicine, supplemented by various other spirit grasses.
The total value of those spirit grasses alone had reached nearly five hundred gold coins.
And a five-grade Blood Lotus Pill is only worth two hundred amethyst coins at most, and if calculated according to the materials of the original formula, the cost is only less than one hundred amethyst coins.
Therefore, alchemist is a very money-burning profession in the early stage, but once alchemy reaches a certain level, it will become a very lucrative profession.
After all, as long as you reach the realm of a high-level alchemist and refine a five-grade pill at will, you can earn double the price when you change hands, and if you can refine a higher grade, its value will be even more terrifying.
How could it be like Xiao Ling, in order to refine a five-grade elixir, he actually had to lose nearly three hundred amethyst coins.
Of course, if it was really just an ordinary five-grade spirit grass, then Xiao Ling would definitely be at a loss, but with that instinctive discernment talent, this five-grade Blood Lotus Pill was also different from the normal Blood Lotus Pill, the old madman once said that judging from the color on the surface of the Blood Lotus Pill and the fetal movement light emitted, this Blood Lotus Pill at least had the effect of the six-grade pill.
And the value of a six-pinned pill is more than that of a five-pinned pill, and it is not a point or two, at least doubled, this is just a theory, in fact, the value of different six-pinned pills is also different, and the value of some six-pinned pills even exceeds a thousand amethyst coins.
As for the seventh-grade pill above the sixth grade, it can already be used as a unit of ten thousand, and the eight-grade pill is also an extremely rare existence in the Tianyuan Continent, and each one is enough to reach a city.
To the top of the nine products, it will be called the elixir, and the birth of each elixir will be accompanied by the appearance of the Dan Tribulation, once the Dan Tribulation is passed, then the Nine Grades of the Elixir will form a unique Dan consciousness, which is the so-called self-consciousness.
However, there are very few rumors about the Nine Rank Spirit Pill on the Tian Yuan Continent, and most people are only afraid of being poor all their lives, and they will not have the opportunity to meet each other.
As for the ten-rank divine pill above the ninth grade, it is an existence that only appears in legends, and it is said that no one in the mainland has ever successfully refined it.
Therefore, the Blood Lotus Pill in Xiao Ling's arms at this moment, which should be called a sixth-grade pill, can already be regarded as an extremely precious elixir.
Using this Blood Lotus Pill to participate in the assessment of the Alchemy Conference, there should be no problem.
Of course, this also reflects the strict level of the alchemy conference, just for an entrance assessment, you need to use a six-grade elixir, not to mention when the conference is actually held.
However, in this way, Xiao Ling is even more looking forward to it, hoping to meet a solution to the situation of Zhao Xu and Ling Xiao at the conference.
While thinking about it, Xiao Ling soon came to a small town between Lingshui City and Muyan City, at this time it was getting dark, Xiao Ling took a look, and decided to spend the night here tonight, anyway, even if he walked slowly for the rest of the journey, three days was enough, so he was not in a hurry.
When she came to the town, Xiao Ling found that although it was getting dark at this time, the streets of the town were still bustling with people coming and going.
Raising his eyes, Xiao Ling found that at least more than half of the people here had a very obvious spiritual vein aura on their bodies, and the identities of these people were naturally about to come out.
Looking all the way, Xiao Ling was a little depressed, but he didn't expect that the restaurants in the town were full, and Xiao Ling, who had never participated in the alchemy conference, naturally didn't know that such a thing would happen, so he naturally didn't prepare in advance.
However, after coming to peace, after a year of drinking blood and hair in the netherworld, Xiao Ling naturally didn't care about anything, it really didn't work, so he found a clean corner to rest for the night, anyway, he still had a little dry food on him, which was enough to support him to Lingshui City Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his hard work, and Xiao Ling, who had originally planned to give up, finally found a small restaurant that was still clean.
It was also overcrowded inside, but when Xiao Ling came in, there happened to be an empty table left.
Xiao Ling was also a little happy to see this, sitting on the seat, Xiao Ling ordered a few side dishes at random, and also ordered a large portion for Xiaoqiu on his shoulder, and then rested quietly.
I have to say that although this restaurant is small, the food is served quickly, and in less than a while, all the dishes ordered by Xiao Ling have been served.
Xiao Ling, who had been on the road for two days, was also a little hungry, so she moved the share that belonged to Xiaoqiu aside, and said to this Xiaoqiu: "Oh, your share, eat it!"
When Xiaoqiu saw the food, she didn't need Xiao Ling to remind her at all, she shook her bulging little belly, swayed on the table, and ate happily.
Seeing Xiaoqiu's eating appearance, Xiao Ling shook her head and smiled, and then slowly ate alone.
Just as Xiao Ling was evaluating the taste of the food made in this restaurant, a crisp and pleasant voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
Xiao Ling could feel that at the same time as this voice sounded, the originally somewhat noisy restaurant suddenly quieted down.
Hearing this, Xiao Ling also stopped the hole in his hand and slowly raised his head, originally at some point, a woman in white was already standing in front of him, and there were two companions beside her.
Xiao Ling looked at it slightly, and saw that the girl's silk-satin-like hair was neatly scattered behind her back, beautiful eyebrows like a crescent moon, a pair of big eyes like stars like the bright moon, a lovely nose, jade cheeks slightly red, red red lips, white cheeks as smooth as jade, smooth snow skin with a strange color, a graceful and slender posture, so beautiful that people were stunned.
