After Jin Ming finished teaching, he didn't stay in the earth fire room for long, and only left six copies of the fish marrow pill medicinal materials for Zhao Sheng, so he left here under the pretext of having something.

When Zhao Sheng was the only one left in the local fire room, Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, and an uncontrollable excitement appeared on his face.

He turned around and sat down cross-legged on the futon and began refining the Fish Marrow Pill for the third time.

This time, he'll give it his all.

Half an hour later, the Dan Furnace Black Smoke Bird, Zhao Sheng's eyes swelled, two blue lights shot out of his eye sockets more than three inches long, and the Ning Dan Technique in his hand flashed one after another.

"Condensation!"

With a low shout, the three fish marrow pills suddenly rushed out of the pill furnace and flew in front of Zhao Sheng, hanging in the air.

Looking at the elixir exuding a rich fragrance in front of him, Zhao Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Alchemy is really not as simple as imagined.

Even with the blessing of talent, Zhao Sheng still underestimated the complexity of refining the elixir, and several other pills were either because the fusion degree of medicinal properties did not meet the standard of the condensing pill, or because the danhua reaction was not sufficient, resulting in the failure of the condensing pill in the end.

"Come again!"

Zhao Sheng put away the Fish Marrow Pill, and with a wave of his hand, he removed the Silver and White Pill Furnace that Jin Ming had deliberately left.

In the next second, I saw the Nine Dragons Danding fly out, soar to more than one person's height, and landed steadily on the alchemy platform.

Rumble!

As the eight red clams spewed out a blazing pure green fire, Jiulong Ding quickly became hot.

The Nine Dragons Ding is worthy of being a spirit-level Danding, and Zhao Sheng manipulates it like a swing of his arm, which is ten times smoother than the silver and white Dan furnace.

The fourth time he refined the Fish Marrow Pill, with the help of Jiulong Ding, Zhao Sheng obviously felt that this time the elixir was refining faster, and the medicinal properties were precipitated more thoroughly and more balanced.

When it comes to the stage of smelting medicinal properties, it is even more obvious, the bubbles on the Dan liquid are more fine, the volume shrinks three points faster, and the temperature change of the alchemy is also easier to control than that of the Silver and White Dan furnace, and the precision and accuracy are an order of magnitude higher.

This fourth alchemy immediately gave Zhao Sheng a big surprise

There are as many as five pills this time, four of which are of high quality, and only one is slightly flawed, but it is also of good quality.

Zhao Sheng's heart was greatly excited, and he took the opportunity to start refining the fifth furnace.

Half an hour later, the refining failed, and the cause of the failure was unknown.

……

The sixth furnace, three pills, the reason is that the quality of the medicinal materials is not good.

The seventh furnace, seven pills!

After refining the seven furnaces, all the medicinal materials left by Jin Ming were exhausted, and the number of pills out of the Fish Marrow Pill was already as high as seven, and the most important thing was that he actually failed to refine it once!

If other alchemists knew his alchemy success rate, they would immediately be stunned.

This guy is simply not human!

Zhao Sheng is also satisfied with this result, but it is not good enough. He feels he still has a lot of room for improvement.

When Zhao Sheng came out of the earth fire room and left the sunset peak, it was already late and the sun was setting in the west.

The dusk sun shone on the sunset peak, and the large white clouds and smoke floating above the peak were suddenly reflected into a blood-red, like a red glow hanging in the sky.

At this time, the pillar of smoke rising from the top of the sunset peak is dyed pink, and from a distance, it looks like a red silk falling for nine days, which is extremely beautiful.

But such a beautiful scenery could not attract Zhao Sheng's attention.

As soon as he left Sunset Peak, he went straight to Danhuofang City.

When he arrived in Fang City, he didn't go directly into the Treasure Medicine Pavilion, and bought many copies of the elixir materials for refining the Water Spirit Pill and the Fish Marrow Pill.

Not only that, but he also bought several other elixirs for refining first-order elixirs, preparing for Jin Ming to teach him alchemy in the future.

The next day, in the earth fire room, there was a dull popping sound in the Nine Dragons Dingzhong, although the sound was not loud, but it made Zhao Sheng's heart sink and his face was a little ugly.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Sheng sighed and stopped the ground fire. Then he stepped forward, waved his hand and flew up, stretched out his head to look inside, and sure enough, there was only a pile of dregs left in the furnace.

Zhao Sheng shook his head, flicked his fingers, and a water dragon condensed out of thin air, and flew into the Dan furnace, quickly and repeatedly rinsing the inner wall.

This was the fifth time he had refined the Water Spirit Pill, and it was also the second time he had failed!

If you calculate the success rate, the water spirit pill is really more difficult than the fish marrow pill.

After rinsing the Dan furnace, Zhao Sheng had already detached himself from the shadow of failure, and his mood returned to calm.

He returned to the futon and sat down expressionlessly, pondered for a lot, and after summing up the lessons of failure, he began to refine the sixth furnace water elixir.

Refining elixir sometimes also pays attention to a practice makes perfect, just like playing a game to brush the level, the more times you play, the more skilled you are.

……

Seven days later, Jin Ming and Zhao Sheng met again.

Without waiting for Jin Ming to ask, Zhao Sheng immediately showed the results of the seven-day alchemy special training.

A furnace of fish marrow pill, three pills.

A furnace of water elixir, out of the pill two.

The best part is that I didn't fail twice!

Looking at Zhao Sheng's modest and eager expression, Jin Ming took a deep breath, and he couldn't say anything about criticism.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng took the opportunity to propose: "Jin Daoyou, I heard that you are also proficient in refining the Jade Yellow Pill. It just so happened that I also prepared 20 medicinal herbs. Why don't you teach me how to refine Yuhuangdan today? ”

Jin Ming couldn't help but gasp after hearing this, and somehow got it in his heart, he felt that something hurt in his lungs, and he was very aggrieved.

He clutched his chest and agreed bitterly, "... All right! ”

Zhao Sheng was overjoyed when he heard this, turned a blind eye to Jin Ming's pain, held his hand with one hand, and thanked: "Daoyou is really magnificent, Zhao admires it very much!"

Saying that, Jin Ming felt that there was an extra piece of hard stuff in his hand, and when he looked down, he saw a medium-grade pure yin spirit stone leaking a little halo from his fingers.

Jin Ming immediately felt much better when he saw this, and said loudly: "Fellow Daoist is polite! Since you are sincere, I will teach you all and ensure that you are satisfied! ”

Zhao Sheng patted his hand knowingly, and said with a smile: "Don't dare to say anything else, Daoist friends will see my sincerity in the future."

"Okay, Jin will start refining a furnace of Jade Huangdan." Jin Ming said very happily.

……

Two years have passed in a flash.

The core of Jiuzhen Island, the spirit island of Spring and Autumn Island, there is a three-storey palace-shaped building covering a large area in the east of the island, and the gate of the main hall on the first floor is hung with three gilded characters of "Merit Hall".

The interior of the building is very spacious, with a large hall of fifty or sixty zhang in size, and the hall is divided into many areas, separated by jade counters.

In the center of each area stands a large white wall of light, on the surface of which lines of black, red, yellow, green, and white text emerge, corresponding to the five mission levels.

The Hall of Merit is the place where the Spring and Autumn League has issued various tasks to its own allies, the scattered cultivators on the island, and the elders of the First Cadre Keqing.

Due to the different functions of the region, the corresponding tasks can also be said to be varied, there are ordinary tasks such as hunting demon beasts, finding spirit grass, medicinal materials, etc., as well as professional tasks related to alchemy refining and refining talismans, as well as special tasks such as hiring, assassination, and guarding, and even recruiting sons-in-law and apprentices.

It can be said that as long as you dare to give a task, the merit hall will dare to undertake it, provided that you can afford to pay the remuneration and task commission.

In the world of cultivating immortals, special places like the Hall of Merit are actually very common, and any slightly larger immortal cultivation sect and immortal cultivation family will have similar places, such as the Guiyuan Sect where Zhao Sheng stayed in his previous life, and the function of the Hall of Good Merit it established by it is very similar to that of the Hall of Merit, but there is no task like the Hall of Merit that dares to hang on the surface.

At this moment, in front of a huge wall of light

Zhao Sheng, who was dressed in black, stood still, his eyes flickering with the changes of the words on the light wall.

After a moment, he suddenly realized that he raised his hand to reveal a jade plaque.

"Class C Mission Eleven"

With his low shout, a white light suddenly shot out from the surface of the light wall, and the white light flashed into the jade card in his hand.

After a burst of white light flashed on the surface of the jade plate, a row of small characters suddenly appeared:

"Twenty water pills, one thousand merit points!" Zhao Sheng swept it and knew the situation of this task.

It turned out that this water-repelling pill was a special kind of elixir that was quite difficult to refine in the first-order elixir.

Immortal cultivators take a water-repelling pill, which can breathe freely underwater for up to three days.

Alchemy is really a skill that costs a lot of money, and even if Zhao Sheng is rich, he can't bear it.

Especially when he was trying to learn to refine the second-order spirit pill on the "Alchemy Refinement Hundred Dan Fang", the cost of any refining failure was more than three digit spirit stones.

It's not that he is not satisfied with refining the first-order spirit pill, but his progress is too fast, and Jin Ming has been wiped out as early as half a year ago.

The twenty-one first-order elixir refining methods he mastered were all learned by Zhao Sheng.

As for the second-order elixir?

I'm sorry, Jin Ming can only refine a second-order Jin Yun Pill, and the success rate is low.

It takes only one or two successful refining times ten times, and there are a maximum of two pills each time, not to mention the quality.

It's not that Zhao Sheng hasn't moved to worship other alchemists as his teacher, but since he occasionally heard rumors about him as an "alchemy genius", he has been visited many times by some fellow foundation builders.

In order to avoid more trouble, Zhao Sheng had to dismiss this idea for the time being.

At the same time, Zhao Sheng also secretly reduced the number of times he went to the Earth Fire Chamber, as well as the number and number of times he sold the elixir.

For the Hall of Merit, Zhao Shenglai has been a little more diligent in the past two months.

First, I took on a few alchemy tasks by the way to earn some spiritual money to return to the capital.

But he mainly came for the spiritual fire of heaven and earth.

It's a pity that the spiritual fire of heaven and earth suitable for alchemy can be encountered but not sought.

In the past few months, Zhao Sheng has visited the island's Fang City and the Hall of Merit, and he has seen several kinds of heaven and earth spiritual fires, but none of them meet his requirements.

I finally saw a golden flame in the center of the earth, suitable for alchemy.

However, before he could make a move, the Golden Flame in the Center of the Earth was bought by the upper echelons of the Danshi Guild.

Zhao Sheng is an alchemy apprentice, and he is not in the eyes of others at all.

Although in the entire Nine True Island, except for Jin Ming's faint guess, no one knew that he had long been a first-order alchemist.

……

After Zhao Sheng took over the alchemy task, he looked at the light wall of other tasks, and found no clues to the task of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire.

After thinking about it for a while, he immediately walked out of the Hall of Merit, threw the golden spirit flying sword, and at the same time circled his body, and the whole person suddenly turned into a sword rainbow and flew straight to the cave on the edge of the island.
