"This approach doesn't work, it's a waste of material. After the fire was completely controlled, Zhao Wu became Ye Yan's follower, and he never left Ye Yan's left and right. He could guess some clues about Ye Yan's thoughts, and he didn't think that this method could refine Dan. You must know that alchemists have always been respected, because of the scarcity of numbers, the previous sect master spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build the Rift Valley into a huge Dan room, and mobilized all the alchemy disciples of the sect, and after tossing for many years, he couldn't refine a few decent pills, but threw a mess. If these prisoners can be used to refine the elixir, is there still a heavenly principle in this world?

This kind of attempt is not only a waste of time, but also a waste of resources! Although the low-end herbs for refining the Qi Nourishing Pill are not valuable, they can't withstand such a squander! The non-stop busyness of the thirty-eight prisoners is equivalent to the thirty-eight alchemists refining the pill at the same time, and the efficiency is even higher. The problem is that there is no possibility of success in their alchemy, and the current situation is that the speed of ruining materials is extremely high!

"This method is proven and absolutely feasible in my hometown, and a momentary failure only means that I still don't know the essentials. Ye Yan did not order the alchemy to be stopped, and while observing the process of the prisoner's alchemy, he considered a solution to the problem.

"What, in the prison warden's hometown, someone uses this method to make alchemy?" Zhao Wu's face was full of disbelief, if this was true, this prison warden's hometown was too powerful!

"There are people in my hometown who do use this method, but not alchemy, some people use this method to make bagels. In fact, in Yeyan's previous life, the division of labor and cooperation was not only used to make hamburgers, but was widely used in all fields.

"What is a bagel?" Zhao Wu asked anxiously.

Ye Yan pondered, "Is this, the bagels are similar to the cookcakes that mortals eat." ”

............ Zhao Wu was very stunned for a while, and said solemnly, "The prison warden is laughing, how can cooking cakes and pills be compared?"

"Those who are difficult will not, those who will not be difficult, in fact, the principles are almost the same. "Ye Yan, an alchemy master, doesn't know how to cook cakes.

Ye Yan thought while idling. These prisoners did not make a mistake when refining the pills, they were not alchemists, they did not know the medicinal properties of each medicinal material, they did not know what kind of heat was used for the medicinal materials of what year, they did not know how to use the steps of dispensing to adjust them, and if they were separated, they would just be a plate of loose sand.

The advantage of the division of labor and cooperation method is that the complex alchemy process is divided into many simple processes, which greatly reduces the difficulty of alchemy, so that monks with no alchemy experience can also do alchemy, and the difficulty lies in the inability to cooperate with each other between different processes.

There are two ways to solve the problem, the first method is simple and straightforward, find a monk who understands pharmacology and medicinal properties to monitor the alchemy process throughout the process, and make timely guidance and adjustments. However, this solution is contrary to Ye Yan's principle, he needs to use the method of refining the pill from a prisoner, so that he can do alchemy on a large scale, if he finds someone who knows how to guide him, the scale of alchemy will inevitably be limited, because each group of alchemy prisoners needs a person to guide him, and this kind of talent is not easy to find.

If a monk wants to be familiar with the basic pharmacology and medicinal properties, it takes at least decades of research and figuration, and a monk who has reached that level can almost refine low-level pills, and he can mix like a dog in a top-level sect, how can he be easily recruited?

Ye Yan decisively adopted the second method, formulating a set of strict standards, first, he limited the age of each medicinal herb to a minimum of three years. Since the medicinal materials used are of uniform specifications, the process of alchemy becomes patterned and easier to replicate. Dispensing has become very easy, not to think about the year of the herb, but only to pay attention to the variety of herbs. Since the medicinal materials used were of the same year and the refining time was almost the same, Ye Yan could ask the prisoners of alchemy to make the alchemy time accurate to a stick of incense...,

The essence of this alchemy method lies in the division of labor and cooperation, so the division of labor must be meticulous, each process must be simple, the original thirty-eight processes were subdivided again, reaching forty-one processes, for this reason, Yeyan had to re-teach those alchemy prisoners.

Two days later, the first furnace of Qi Nourishing Pills was finally refined, and there were thirty-six Qi Nourishing Pills, each of which was the size of a dragon's eye, revealing a pitch-black and shiny luster.

Zhao Wu's eyes were bigger and rounder than the Qi Nourishing Pill! Originally, he only thought that this was Ye Yan's whimsy, but he really couldn't imagine that Ye Yan really used prisoners to refine the pill! You must know that the monks who can refine the Qi Nourishing Pill are already very rare in the sect, but Ye Yan is refining the Qi Nourishing Pill with the help of the prisoners, which is equivalent to turning forty-one prisoners into alchemists!

Although Zhao Wu's mind was not very bright, he was also aware of the amazing benefits brought by this method, and calculated: "Using this method to refine the pill, you can refine two furnaces of Qi Refining Pill every day, that is, seventy-two Qi Nourishing Pills. Even if it is sold to the ancestor of the sect, each Qi Nourishing Pill can be sold for the price of a low-grade spirit stone. Calculated, there are at least two thousand spirit stones per month. ”

Ye Yan shook her head: "This account is not your algorithm. ”

Zhao Wu felt that he was not wrong, "The prison warden means ......"

"Didn't you find that the most delayed time in refining the pill is the refining process, the previous process can be completed quickly, but the refining process takes five hours, which seriously slows down the speed of alchemy. Ye Yan pointed to the side of the Dan furnace.

Zhao Wu raised his eyes and saw a lot of medicinal materials waiting to be refined piled up next to the Dan furnace, and those medicinal materials had been processed into the shape of Dan pills, about three hundred of them. "This ......"

"At least ten Dan furnaces need to start at the same time to match the speed in the early stage, so the daily output is not seventy Qi Nourishing Pills, but seven hundred and twenty Qi Nourishing Pills, and the monthly income is more than 20,000 spirits. Moreover, these people are not skilled enough to work when they first come to work, and when they become proficient, the efficiency can be improved, and it is estimated that it will be increased to at least thirteen Dan furnaces to barely be enough, so that the monthly income is at least 30,000 spirits. "When Ye Yan arranged the manpower, she deliberately arranged only one person for each process, considering that alchemy was the most time-delaying link.

"The receipt of thirty thousand souls. Zhao Wu gasped on the spot, his eyes almost rolled out, the income of 30,000 spirits per month was also a very shocking amount for a law enforcement disciple like him.

Ye Yan couldn't help but laugh when she saw him startled, and joked with him: "The law enforcement disciples of the sect are so poor? The number of 30,000 spirits sounds terrifying, isn't it thirty medium-grade spirit stones when exchanged?"

You must know that once these prisoners cooperate in alchemy, each of them is equivalent to a beginner-level alchemist, and fifty beginner-level alchemists work non-stop, earning only thirty medium-grade spirit stones every month, is it a lot? If it was just refining the Qi Refining Pill and earning so many spirit stones, Ye Yan would not be too lazy to waste time.

Zhao Wu smiled bitterly with embarrassment: "If the benefits of the sect are enough, there won't be many disciples of this sect going to hunt in dangerous places such as the Death Sand Sea." The income of law enforcement disciples is only more than that of ordinary disciples, and it is far from enough. Elder Night had just been promoted to the Jindan stage not long ago, and after a while, he would know that it would be difficult. ”

"What kind of difficult method?" Ye Yan asked casually, considering that he was now also a person in the Jindan period.

Zhao Wu was originally a straightforward person, and he was full of bitterness, so he immediately complained, "When I first arrived at the foundation building period, I always envied the rich offerings of the Jindan period, and when I arrived at the Jindan period, I realized that the offerings of the disciples of the Jindan period were not enough at all, and they were pitiful." ”

"Go on, how pitiful is it?" Ye Yan didn't care about his difficulties, it was purely to satisfy his curiosity, and it was also to find out the news, since he decided to do large-scale alchemy, he naturally had to inquire about the market first. ..., Zhao Wu sighed and said, and continued to say crookedly: "As long as it is a disciple whose talent is passable, the pill is just an auxiliary before the Jindan period, even if you don't use the pill, you can break through to the Jindan stage by yourself, and it will be different after you are promoted to the Jindan stage, except for a very small number of geniuses, nine out of nine disciples must cultivate with the help of the pill, and the elixir of the Jindan period is very precious, where to find it? However, the offerings issued by the sect to law enforcement disciples are still the elixirs used during the foundation building period. Even if we law enforcement disciples are like this, the life of ordinary sect disciples is even more difficult......

Ye Yan had only received the benefits of a law enforcement disciple once, and at that time, he was still a second-level Qi refining cultivator, so he really felt that that benefit was quite tempting! Looking back now, the real law enforcement disciples were at least Jindan stage cultivators, and using the pills of the foundation building stage didn't seem to have much effect......

Once Zhao Wu complained, it was like a surging river, endlessly, "It's good to receive the pills in the foundation building period, and sometimes, you can't even receive the pills in the foundation building period." ”

"It's not so miserable, is it?" Ye Yan always thought that the Netherworld Sect was a top-level immortal cultivation force, and if it couldn't even distribute benefits, wouldn't it be too shabby? It seems that the Great Sect Master Lian is not very competent.

"What's not to do? The welfare of the sect has always been to give priority to the distribution of the War Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall, and even our Law Enforcement Hall often fails to issue benefits, and it is even more common for ordinary sect disciples not to receive benefits. The alchemists of the sect are all half-hangers, at most they can refine the pills of the qi refining period, and they are not enough. The pills in the foundation building period were all purchased from the Liuyun Sect. Sometimes you can buy it, sometimes you can't buy it, and if you buy it, you will be given benefits, and if you can't buy it, you won't be given benefits. "If Zhao Wu's heartfelt words are heard by the Great Sect Master Lian, he will be abolished on the spot, and the crime is to shake the morale of the army! Within the boundaries of Qizhou, apart from the Liuyun Sect that can refine the pills above the Golden Pill Stage, which other immortal cultivation force can refine them? Which high-level pill of the Immortal Cultivation Force was not purchased from the Liuyun Sect?

As the top immortal cultivation force in Qizhou, the Netherworld Sect has signed a long-term agreement with the Liuyun Sect, and it can give priority to the purchase of low-level pills refined by the Liuyun Sect, and the price of purchasing the pills is also more affordable than that of other sects from small families. It's just that the alchemy strength of the Liuyun Sect is also limited, and it can't meet all the needs of Qizhou, and the pills above the golden pill stage have to be auctioned, so naturally it is impossible to meet the true needs of the Netherworld Sect for the pills. The Nether Sect is at most more secure than other sects, and has the right to purchase low-level pills first.

Since the sect itself can't refine high-grade pills, and the demand has not been truly met for a long time, in this situation, it is impossible to have a stock of pills, and once a special situation occurs, it will not be able to issue benefits, which is also a real situation, but it is by no means as miserable as Zhao Wu said!

"Oh, it turns out that it's not that the poor sect can't afford to buy pills, it's that there are spirit stones that can't buy high-grade pills. Ye Yan patted his liver, he knew the scarcity of high-grade pills, but he didn't expect it to be so scarce.

"Not only are high-level pills scarce, but low-grade pills are also insufficient, although the sect can refine some low-grade pills, the quantity is also very limited, far from meeting the needs of low-level disciples. Why did those Qi Refining Disciples and Foundation Building Disciples line up for a long time to receive benefits? It was because sometimes they could receive benefits, and sometimes they couldn't, and the disciples who arrived first could generally receive pills, but it was difficult to say if they went late. Complaining is complaining, Zhao Wu is quite objective, and comforts himself, "Actually, other immortal cultivation forces are in a similar situation to us, and low-level pills can be refined by themselves, but they will never be enough." High-grade elixirs are generally given to disciples by the sect as a reward. Or it is reserved for the disciples of the sect to cultivate, how can any sect dare to use high-grade pills as welfare, even refining the Liuyun Sect is not enough for this capital! It is said that the number of high-grade pills refined by the Liuyun Sect every year does not exceed 100, and seventy percent of them must be put up for auction. ”...,

Based on this, Ye Yan came to the conclusion that no matter what kind of pills were refined in his small workshop and how many pills he refined, there was no need to worry about the market, and he could simply sell them to the sect.

"What the prison warden intends to do with the remaining materials. Zhao Wu felt distressed about the wasted materials in a blink of an eye, because the year of the medicinal materials was stuck in the lowest year, and the error should not exceed three years, which greatly limited the use of materials, and the materials that could be used were at most one-third, and two-thirds of the medicinal materials were left. In fact, all medicinal materials that have reached the lowest year can be used for alchemy, and the higher the year, the better the effect.

How could Ye Yan care about wasting this little material, but after learning about the market for the elixir, his ambition swelled rapidly, and it was only fifty-one prisoners who made alchemy for themselves, which was too small!

Those leftover medicinal materials can also be alchemized, and the difference in years is not big, at most less than ten years beyond the minimum age, as long as two more groups of prisoners are found to refine the pills, ninety percent of the medicinal materials can be used, as for the remaining ten percent, no matter how you deal with it, you don't feel distressed. Ye Yan waved his hand and explained to Zhao Wu, "You go to Elder Tie and ask him to transfer two more groups of people according to the size of this group of people, it doesn't matter if the cultivation is lower, people must be clever, there are a few stupid people in this group, and the master has to be replaced." ”

"The prison warden still needs to find two more groups of people to refine the pill?" The income of 30,000 spirits in a month has already made Zhao Wu's heart tremble, and if two more groups of people are transferred, the monthly income will be 90,000 spirits!

"That's right, according to the size of this group of people, transfer two more groups of people to come over for alchemy, let's go quickly. Ye Yan really didn't dare to tell Zhao Wu that the Qi Nourishing Pill was only used to practice his hands, and what he was going to refine was the Mixed Yuan Pill used at the high level of Qi refining, the Broken Fan Pill used in the foundation building period, and even the pill used in the foundation building period, he was afraid that Zhao Wu would be scared out of trouble, and now was the time to use people.
