"Tell me, what's the matter." Su Changkong stared at the man, and the other party sneakily followed all the way, there must be something unsightly.

The man coughed and introduced himself: "My name is Sun Yun, Sun Fu is my second brother, and Sun Yinian is my grandfather." ”

"The people of Bao Danju?"

Su Changkong nodded slightly, the Sun Yun in front of him was somewhat similar to the Sun Fu he had seen before, but his temperament was completely different, that Sun Fu was a talent, while this Sun Yun was decadent and overly drunk.

Sun Yun introduced himself, and his eyes purred: "You came to Baodanju just now to ask my grandfather to help with alchemy, right?" I have also studied alchemy for one or two decades, so I can give you a little discount! ”

Su Changkong was a little funny when he heard it, he didn't even trust Sun Yinian, let alone the Sun Yun in front of him, Sun Yun's alchemy was definitely far inferior to Sun Yinian, and he asked him to help with alchemy, wasn't that a fool? Even if he doesn't charge money for free, he won't be willing to do it in vain!

"Forget it, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Su Changkong directly refused.

"Wait a minute! I heard you want to learn alchemy? ”

But Sun Yun immediately stopped Su Changkong.

"Huh? Can you teach me alchemy? ”

Hearing this, Su Changkong stopped and looked back at Sun Yun.

This Sun Yun is Sun Yinian's grandson, and he has followed Sun Yinian to learn alchemy since he was a child, Sun Yinian will not accept apprentices, so it is not impossible to learn alchemy from this Sun Yun!

However, Sun Yun sneered and said: "My level is limited, and I don't have the patience to be a teacher, but...... I can give you a book on alchemy, and you can just learn from it. ”

As he spoke, Sun Yun took out a thick book that was half a palm-wide from his arms, and he smiled: "This is the Bao Dan Lu compiled by my grandfather, which records the refining methods of some commonly used pills, and also introduces the basic techniques of alchemy in detail. ”

Su Changkong's heart moved, indeed, if there is a book on alchemy, it will be the same!

"How much money do you need?" Su Changkong was also moved when he heard this, and he asked directly.

knows that this Sun Yun came to sell this book, it must be for money.

"Mr. Li is happy! For 10,000 taels of silver, this Baodanlu will be sold to Mr. Li! ”

When Sun Yun saw Su Changkong saying this, he immediately smiled and said directly.

And Sun Yun is undoubtedly a lion's big mouth, and his mouth is 10,000 taels of silver!

Su Changkong's face was expressionless: "Are you joking with Li?" ”

Alchemy, 10,000 taels of silver? It's not a package of teaching, just give a book to learn by yourself, and it costs 10,000 taels?

Sun Yun's smile was still the same, and he hurriedly said: "I think you can get a discount if it's expensive, 9,000 taels!" ”

Su Changkong didn't speak, and Sun Yun gritted his teeth: "8,000 taels!" This book was compiled by my grandfather for decades, and it is difficult for outsiders to look at it, and it is definitely impossible to buy it with money! ”

"7,000 taels! Couldn't go any lower! ”

Sun Yun shouted.

But Su Changkong was still unmoved, just looked at Sun Yun and said: "My money is all exchanged for my life, your Bao Danlu is at best a guide to alchemy, and there is no famous teacher to guide me, I may not even be able to read it when I buy it, I am indeed slightly interested in alchemy, but the price is too great, then it is not worth it!" ”

Sun Yun was helpless, and said a little deflated: "Then how much do you say you can come out?" ”

"2,000 taels, one or two more won't work!" Su Changkong thought about it and finally gave his own bottom line price.

At the beginning of the Zhao family's auction, a rather exquisite Red Fire Gong was sold for more than 1,000 taels of silver, which was rare and expensive, and books about alchemy were difficult to buy, but 2,000 taels of silver was already the price that Su Changkong was willing to pay for it!

"Okay...... Okay, that's stingy...... Two thousand taels is two thousand taels, if not a lack of money...... I won't sell you, and you can't tell anyone that I sold it to you, grandpa has to break my leg if he finds out! ”

Seeing that Su Changkong looked like he couldn't talk and immediately turned around and left, Sun Yun's face finally collapsed, he waved his hand weakly and agreed, and repeatedly told Su Changkong that he was not allowed to tell anyone else about the transaction between them.

Sun Yun is Sun Yinian's grandson, but he is idle and profligate on weekdays, owes a lot of debts outside, and he doesn't dare to say to his grandfather, today outside the door he overheard the conversation between Su Changkong and Sun Fu, so he moved his mind and followed, wanting to sell a large sum of money to pay off the foreign debts with Bao Danlu.

But Su Changkong doesn't care about this, he just wants to get this Bao Danlu and study it, as long as he can learn alchemy, he can be self-sufficient, he doesn't have to look at the faces of outsiders, and he will be wronged!

Su Changkong took out two thousand taels of silver from his arms and handed it to Sun Yun, Sun Yun also handed over the Bao Dan Lu to Su Changkong, and at the same time first cleared up the relationship and said: "If you can't learn alchemy according to this Bao Dan Lu, it's none of my business!" It's you who don't have the talent! ”

Su Changkong was too lazy to say to Sun Yunduo, if this Bao Dan Lu was okay, it would naturally be his problem whether he could learn alchemy, but if he found out that this Bao Dan Lu was cheating, which made him pay both money and energy, then Su Changkong would definitely not let Sun Yun feel good!

After completing the transaction, Sun Yun shrank his head and walked out of the alley, looked left and right, and then tidied up his clothes and walked out of here.

"Want to delve into alchemy with a book? What a dream! Since I was a child, under the guidance and guidance of my grandfather, I know nothing about alchemy! ”

Sun Yun sneered secretly as he walked.

An accomplished alchemist not only needs theoretical knowledge, but also needs a lot of practice and experience to accumulate, and spend money like running water, otherwise in this huge city of Merlin Mansion, those alchemists will not be so rare, and they are all members of a big family, so they have the ability and resources to pile up an experienced alchemist!

Therefore, in Sun Yun's view, Su Changkong wanted to learn alchemy by relying on a book, but it was not very possible, most of the time he studied for a few days, suffered several setbacks, and decided to give up after suffering heavy losses.

Su Changkong naturally didn't know Sun Yun's thoughts, so he collected Bao Danlu and returned all the way to the manor rented in the XC area.

"Look at this Bao Danlu."

Su Changkong took out the Baodan record and read it carefully.

Su Changkong still has a certain degree of confidence in whether he can learn alchemy, his potential value is as high as 15 points, and his qualifications and comprehension are not comparable to ordinary people, and they are not only effective for martial arts.

For example, Su Changkong's forging technique is because of his potential value, which can reach the point where others can't reach it in a few years!

Su Changkong carefully flipped through the Baodanlu word by word, and the more he looked at it, the more amazed he became.

"This alchemy is indeed a technical work, more complicated than forging, alchemy, is to refine various medicinal materials and substances into pills through two types of technology, namely fire and water methods, so that these materials can exert the most extreme or even beyond the limit of the effect!"

"The fire method roughly includes calcining, refining, burning, melting, pumping, flying, and volting, and the water law includes melting, pouring, sealing, boiling, boiling, brewing, and so on......"

Su Changkong was a little fascinated by it, this "Bao Dan Lu" is indeed not a masterpiece of Dan Dao, in fact, if it is really the work of a Dan Dao master, Su Changkong has no foundation, and it is impossible to understand it.

But this Bao Dan Lu is the work of an old alchemist for decades, and it records the foundation of alchemy, which is indeed very suitable for alchemists to get started!

Su Changkong spent a day and a night recording this treasure pill and reading it completely, and he also had a general understanding of alchemy in his heart.

"No matter how rich the theoretical knowledge is, it is only on paper, I have to get started myself, and summarize the experience and lessons through practice and failure."

Su Changkong decided to practice it himself and began alchemy!

Alchemy is not enough for a single Dan furnace.

Alchemy requires a lot of tools, such as the distiller for distillation, the grinder for grinding, the Dan furnace, the Danding, the boiling pot are indispensable, the pump and so on.

Su Changkong immediately set out to buy these tools, fortunately, these tools can be bought as long as they cost money, Su Changkong spent two days to specially arrange a special alchemy room in the manor.

"Let's first refine the Vitality Qi Pill for hand training recorded in the Bao Dan Record."

Su Changkong took the book and flipped through it, and there were several common pills and pills on the Baodan record, Jinchuang Dan and Huoqi Dan.

Among them, this Vitality Pill is to accelerate the recovery of qi, and it is effective for martial artists to recover their physical strength and true qi, which is quite a practical elixir!

"Sawn grass needs to be boiled for a long time, and the blood flower needs to be roasted until there is no water, and then ground into powder."

Su Changkong followed the steps on the Bao Dan record and began to prepare the materials before alchemy, these medicinal materials are relatively common, you can buy them with money, but the price is not cheap!

Su Changkong was busy for two hours before he could be considered to have prepared and concocted the materials, followed by the official alchemy.

In front of Su Changkong, there is a half-meter diameter, a foot high Dan furnace, the whole body is dark silver, the shape is exquisite, this is a silver silk Dan furnace bought from Wanlin Pavilion, and it is also the tool that spends the most money, costing Su Changkong a full 500 taels of silver.

Su Changkong began to make a fire, he used high-grade coal with extremely high density and carbon content, this coal is smokeless, and the temperature that can be released is high!

Call!

Under the Dan furnace, the flame rose, but the Dan furnace was heated, Su Changkong poured water from the water outlet of the Dan furnace, and then added a variety of materials, before and after, adding more than ten kinds of medicinal materials.

"Heat up!"

Su Changkong pushed the bellows, causing the flames under the Dan furnace to rise.

Alchemy, of course, the most important part is the link of alchemy, you need to grasp the heat flawlessly, and the time of opening the furnace must also be wonderful, not early, not late!

Su Changkong had experience in forging, and he was very patient, sometimes adding water from the outlet of the Dan furnace.

Above the whole Dan furnace, there is smoke rising from the gas outlet, and there is a smell of medicine permeating!

"Crackle!"

Everything seemed to be going very smoothly, but time passed, and after an hour, there was a slight sound of light sound in the Dan furnace, and at the same time, a smell of scorched lakes came out.

"Failed......" Su Changkong had a trace of helplessness on his face, knowing that his first alchemy ended in failure.

Sure enough, Su Changkong opened the lid of the Dan furnace, and he saw that the barrier of the Dan furnace was glued to the object of Jiao Lake, and this time the alchemy was nearly a hundred taels of silver!

Fortunately, Su Changkong was mentally prepared, he cleaned up the inside of the Dan furnace, washed it in a small pool, and started the second alchemy.

"Last time, it was because the heat was not well controlled." Su Changkong learned his lessons.

Alchemy (Introductory 17%)

At the end of a busy day, Su Changkong didn't succeed in refining a furnace of Living Qi Pill, and spent a few hundred taels of silver, but it was not all without gains, in the skill column of his attribute panel, in addition to forging, there was another alchemy!

"Next, it is to continue refining the Living Qi Pill, use it to practice your hands, and when the proficiency and success rate come up, you can refine the Qi and Blood Pill."

Su Changkong is full of power.

It is naturally impossible to practice with Qi and Blood Pill, a material of Qi and Blood Pill is 3,000 taels of silver, not to mention Su Changkong, even if it is the richest family in Molin Mansion City, it is impossible to be so ruined and extravagant.

It turns out that Su Changkong's potential value of 15 points is not a decoration, and it only took Su Changkong a week for his alchemy to reach the realm of the first glimpse of the door from the beginning!

At this time, Su Changkong's refining of the Living Qi Pill already had a chance of success!

"Refining successfully?"

Next to the Dan furnace, Su Changkong's face was full of joy as he looked at the Dan furnace that had been burned dry, and a few pills with residual warmth on the top of the furnace.

There were a total of ten pills, and Su Changkong took them out one by one with a jade spoon and examined them carefully.

"There are a total of 10 Vitality Pills, only two of them are Cheng Pills, and the other eight are all Waste Pills!"

Su Changkong found that only two of the ten pills in this furnace were of acceptable quality, and the other eight were either showing the taste of Jiaohu Lake, or they were a melting lump, and they would disperse when touched!

But in any case, this is a good start, making Su Changkong more powerful!

If the people of Baodanju knew that Su Changkong had gone from ignorance of alchemy in only six or seven days to successfully refining into a Living Qi Pill, they would definitely be shocked!

Although the Living Qi Pill is an elixir used to practice hands, the difficulty is not high, but ordinary people have to practice hard for several months or even half a year before they have the opportunity to refine the finished product alone, Su Changkong only took a week, this is definitely a genius level!

"Go on!"

Su Changkong forgot to sleep and eat, completely immersed in alchemy, just like the first time he practiced martial arts and forged for the first time, with a goal and direction, he kept going!

Time passed, it was three months after Su Changkong came to Merlin Mansion City, and in these three months, in addition to Su Changkong's daily routine martial arts training, most of his energy was devoted to alchemy.

Alchemy (5% of the 3 realms)

In three months, Su Changkong's alchemy has advanced by leaps and bounds, from the original entry to the 3rd realm, and he has achieved a little success!

The amazing talent brought by 15 potential points, this progress is undoubtedly jaw-dropping to ordinary people, but correspondingly, Su Changkong is also quite painful: "In three months, it took me almost 30,000 taels of silver......

In order to be able to quickly achieve alchemy, Su Changkong carried out alchemy every day, and he had to spend a huge amount of about three hundred taels of silver a day, and in three months, he spent thirty thousand taels of silver, which undoubtedly made Su Changkong's flesh hurt.

In Qingshui City, Su Changkong risked his life to hunt the disciples of the Black Lotus Sect, and Wang Yun, the magistrate, took out all his family funds in order to make amends, and Su Changkong accumulated nearly 50,000 taels of silver.

And now it's only three months, and it has cost more than half, no wonder alchemists are so rare, it is true that only those big families with deep pockets and daily progress are qualified to cultivate!

"My alchemy has reached the third realm, and the success rate of refining the Living Qi Pill has also increased greatly, it's time to try refining the Qi and Blood Pill!"

Su Changkong took a deep breath, a little excited, but also a little nervous.

With his capital, all the remaining belongings are enough for 6 Qi and Blood Pill materials, can he refine Qi and Blood Pills, and how many furnaces can he successfully refine?

"It's useless to think too much! Get started! ”

Su Changkong didn't think about it so much, the big deal was that he failed completely, and with his heart, he could still bear this kind of blow and price!

"Raw blood clover flowers, boiled for three hours, distilled by distillation, the water left behind is used for alchemy, twenty years of blood ginseng, juice, ground into powder."

The Qi Pill was only an entry-level pill, and the refining steps and difficulty of the Qi and Blood Pill were several times more complicated and higher than the Qi Pill and Su Changkong patiently carried out the preparations.

Everything was ready, Su Changkong opened the furnace for alchemy, and put in the fourteen or fifteen prepared medicinal materials one by one.

This is followed by the control of the heat and the addition of the required ingredients if necessary.

Under the Dan furnace, the flames rose, Su Changkong did not dare to be careless, he was engrossed, paying attention to the movement in the Dan furnace, pulling the bellows, controlling the size of the fire, meticulously.

"Alas...... Sure enough, it failed. ”

Time passed, until the night, Su Changkong let out a sigh, looking at the pulp lake in the Dan furnace, his heart beat fiercely.

This time, it's three thousand taels of silver!

Su Changkong's remaining money was all bought by him in Wanlin Pavilion into the medicinal materials needed for the Qi and Blood Pill.

Su Changkong didn't continue, but first took a good rest, adjusted his mentality and physical state to the peak, and then started the second alchemy, he had six chances!

The second furnace still fails!

"Failed again? Obviously, the heat has been perfectly controlled this time, could it be that the steps of processing the medicinal herbs are wrong? Even with Su Changkong's mentality, he couldn't help but have a heart twitch, and after two failures, all six thousand taels of silver were lost!

However, Su Changkong adjusted his state, and carefully read the Dan prescription of the Qi and Blood Pill, including the treatment of medicinal materials, the techniques and steps of alchemy, all carefully imprinted in his heart word by word, and then started from the beginning, the third alchemy.

The time came to the evening again, Su Changkong stopped continuing to add carbon, and the flames under the Dan furnace gradually dimmed, and Su Changkong was very worried.

Call!

When time passed, from the Dan furnace, a white with a red gas burst out, like a thin silk thread, at the same time, a pungent fragrance spread in the room, smelling it makes people's blood boil, mouthful!
