Chapter 90: Alchemy
Sun Yunhao also bought some information about demon beasts on Island Five, but found that these materials have hardly changed compared to two years ago, perhaps because these materials are too old, or maybe because these materials are too old, so they will appear in the past two years.
After Sun Yunhao walked around the neighborhood, he didn't find any trace of Xi Feng and the others, so he immediately flashed, left No. 5 Island, and headed north.
Flew for more than half a year!
A few days ago, he was able to meet some monks. There are even some people who want to stop him. However, Han Li ignored this and urged the Wind Stepping Jiao to shoot away into the distance. These people either wanted him to join their team, or they wanted to kill him and then snatch his treasures, but Sun Yunhao was not interested at all.
After flying out of the moon, it is very difficult to meet other immortal cultivators, and it is generally ten months before you can meet one or a group of immortal cultivators. These people didn't have much interest in Sun Yunhao, and they all focused on finding demon beasts.
Monks who dare to fly in the deep sea must have some special means! Although this Sun Yunhao is only in the early stage of foundation building, he may break into here, he must have some ability, if he is not completely sure, it is better not to ask for hardship. Moreover, nine times out of ten, his cultivation is just a disguise, because high-level monks can easily disguise their cultivation in front of low-level monks!
Sun Yunhao, after not seeing a single monk for more than two months in a row, finally stopped, and at this time, he had been flying in the void for more than half a year.
In the past half a year, except for some uninhabited desert islands, Sun Yunhao used spirit stones to rest for a while and replenish the spiritual power in his body, and almost all the rest of the time he flew around in the sky, flying more than 100,000 miles away. Along the way, Sun Yunhao also encountered some demon beasts, but these demon beasts all passed by in a hurry and ignored them!
Sun Yunhao didn't want his demon hunting skills to be discovered. That's why he chose such a remote place.
Sun Yunhao chose a very small island, which was the first place where he hunted demon beasts alone.
He first flew around the island for a few days, and after making sure that there were no other immortal cultivators nearby, he laid out more than a dozen magic circles of different colors on the island in one go.
And in the center of these formations, it was obtained from Yun Mengli, and the "Heavenly Fragrance Illusion Array" was laid down with twelve high-grade spirit stones as materials.
In addition to the Heavenly Fragrance Illusion Array, he also laid out the Heavenly Floating Earth Polar Array, the Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Array, the Golden Light Ten Thousand Dao Array, the Split Mountain Rip Array, and some other large arrays that were very offensive and defensive, enveloping the entire island in it. It's a trap.
And Sun Yunhao himself also laid another Tianxiang Illusion Array, and also laid another large array to cover his body. He hid himself in the formation, put on a mysterious cloak, and then a little magic disk, urging the power of the formation.
All that's left is to wait for the rabbit.
He took out a book on Dan Dao from his storage bag, immersed himself in a wisp of thought, and began to study it slowly.
After a full hour, Yang Kai took out a one-zhang tall Dan Ding from the storage ring, and activated the True Yuan Force, and a mouthful of cyan flames erupted from the Dan Ding, wrapped in it. This is the unique innate true fire of the monks in the foundation building period, as long as there is this kind of flame, you can refine all kinds of pills and magic weapons above the foundation building. Because it is condensed with its own true element, it is much more stable than the fire of the earth lungs, and it is much better to use it for alchemy and refining!
However, the consumption of spiritual power by the innate true fire is extremely high, and the time for refining the alchemy is too long, so Sun Yunhao rarely uses the innate true fire.
According to the jade slip that Yun Mengli gave him, it would take two or three days to cover the scope of the Heavenly Fragrance Illusion Array. In this way, Han Li spent all of his time on alchemy.
Sun Yunhao put more than ten kinds of medicinal materials and other materials into the alchemy furnace one by one, and began to refine a kind of qi gathering disperse that was the most common in the qi refining period. This pill can only be refined with several kinds of spirit grasses that are more than ten years old, plus some cheap ordinary materials. And the method of refining has long been proficient to the extreme, and it is sold in general library pavilions.
Sun Yunhao controlled the temperature of the flame just right according to what the book said, and after half an hour, he smelled a faint medicinal fragrance, which was a special medicinal fragrance. This is a sign of becoming a Dan. After waiting a little longer, he withdrew the innate true fire and impatiently opened the lid of the furnace.
Sun Yunhao lifted the lid of the Dan furnace, and a rich Dan fragrance suddenly spread.
"Cidan!"
Sun Yunhao muttered to himself with some disappointment, he took out more than ten soybean-sized pills from the alchemy furnace, but the aura and medicinal power in it were all consumed, and they were obviously some inferior qi gathering disperse.
"It should be that the refining was too early, and the pill has not completely stabilized, so there will be a leak of medicinal effects." Sun Yunhao guessed.
Now, it is still early for the next refining to gather qi and disperse, and Sun Yunhao continues to refine.
It was another delicate control, but Sun Yunhao was more patient this time, and he didn't stop until the medicinal fragrance became stronger and stronger.
However, when he lifted the lid of the ding, a burning smell came to his nose, and there was not a complete pill in the ding, only a pile of black dregs.
But this time, it was a useless elixir, and it was even harmful.
In this way, Sun Yunhao destroyed five medicine bottles in a row, and finally refined more than ten Qi Gathering Scatter in the sixth medicine bottle. Seven or eight times in a row, he succeeded twice, which increased the success rate to 20%.
You must know that refining Qi Dispersion is the simplest of all the pills, but he can only refine three percent, which is not a good sign. You must know that Wang Yingying's success rate in refining the gathering of qi has exceeded sixty percent!
A sheep-like cry sounded, and it was the first beast to come!
Sun Yunhao immediately stopped what he was doing, stood on the back of the Wind Stepping Dragon, and galloped towards this side.
Not long after, a giant crab five or six feet long and red crawled towards the island with its teeth and claws.
After the beast's gaze swept over Sun Yunhao, it flew directly towards the Heavenly Thunder Illusion Array.
"This is a fifth-level demon beast, and the first one was caught." Sun Yunhao said lightly, and took out a crimson disc from his body, on which there was a faint arc flashing, and then a magic trick hit the disc, and suddenly the Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Array was activated.
Suddenly, lightning flashed near the Cancer, and a fiery snake shot out from the ground, shooting straight towards the Crab, trying to trap it in the magic circle.
After Sun Yunhao finished speaking, he didn't wait for the crab to react, and with a wave of his sleeve, twenty or thirty balls of light suddenly flew out of his sleeve, landing behind the crab one after another, turning into puppets the size of a life-size.
Sun Yunhao gave an order, and all the puppets quickly took out a medium-grade spiritual weapon from the storage bag, with a shield and a bow and arrow.
The golems were divided into three columns, the one closest to the Cancer, each holding a shield in their hands and releasing several light shields at the same time, protecting them and the puppets behind them. And the two columns of puppets in the back, each holding a longbow in their hands.
Sun Yunhao once again gave an order with his divine thoughts, and the puppets holding the longbow immediately pulled the bowstring in unison, shooting towards the huge crab in waves.
Colorful lights turned into fire snakes, golden blades, wooden spears, ice picks, water arrows, and sharp spikes, shooting from all directions.
With so many spells, it was equivalent to the combined blow of twenty or thirty foundation building monks, and even the fifth-level giant crab became as frightened as a human under this blow.
As soon as the giant crab opened its mouth, a fiery red mist erupted from its mouth, enveloping its body, and the two crab claws danced wildly, blocking all these attacks from the outside.
But the twenty or thirty continuous crossbow arrows were densely packed, and most of them fell on the fire cloud and were blocked by the fire cloud.
After three consecutive rounds of attacks were blocked by the Giant Crab one by one, Sun Yunhao did not hesitate any longer, and a high-level spiritual weapon "Flame Knife" in his hand swung out and faced the Giant Crab. He was in the air, holding a flaming knife in his hand, and slashed at the giant crab.
With a "poof", a fire dragon more than ten zhang long rushed out of the knife and pounced on the giant crab with its teeth and claws.
The big crab was startled, and could not care about anything else, and its eight claws moved sideways, trying to escape. If it was in the sea, with the speed of this big crab, it might really be able to escape. However, on the island, the speed of the fire dragon is obviously much faster than that of the giant crab, and soon, it will swallow up all the fire mist, revealing its true face inside.
At this moment, a golden knife and ice pick struck the giant crab again, and the crab's two big pincers were clamped and blocked.
After a while, the giant crab's body was attacked by the golden blade and ice picks and other spiritual powers, and more than ten holes appeared on the body, and he died instantly.
After Sun Yunhao rummaged through the giant crab corpse, he took out a red inch-sized bead from it, this was the fifth-level demon pill.
Then, Sun Yunhao took out a black bottle, and slowly sucked out the soul of this demon beast with the method of attracting souls, and put it into the bottle.
This method of attracting souls requires a strong divine sense, and it can generally be used in the middle stage of foundation building. However, Sun Yunhao's divine sense far surpassed that of a monk of the same level, and in addition, he had been trying this "soul attraction technique" for most of the past six months, but it didn't take much effort to integrate it.
Although he hadn't figured out what the magic of this high-level demon soul was yet, he couldn't just waste it like this. Since this demon spirit is so precious and so popular, it must be useful.
Sun Yunhao's eyes swept over the huge crab corpse, and suddenly with a flick of his sleeve, a silver ray suddenly flew out, and the huge crab claw fell from the root and was put into the bag in a flash.
Sun Yunhao didn't have much interest in other things on the crab's body, but with a flick of his fingers, a flame burned the crab's corpse into ashes.
Subsequently, he put away all the puppets and removed the Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Array, and he set up a hidden formation on the island and began to study his own alchemy.
Not long after, another fourth-level demon beast also appeared on the island. This time, Sun Yunhao didn't even use the "Blazing Sky Blade", but just relied on a humanoid puppet, and after a wild bombardment, he easily killed it.
Sun Yunhao put the demon pill and some materials into the storage bag, and returned to the hidden magic circle.
Sun Yunhao stayed on the island for five days, and in these five days, seven or eight demon beasts came here, but they were all killed by him one by one.
According to his estimates, most of the demon beasts within a radius of a hundred miles were attracted by the Heavenly Fragrance Illusion Array and gathered in the direction of the island, so he immediately removed all the formations, put everything away, and then drove the wind-stepping dragon and flew away to the outside of this island.
A few days later, Sun Yunhao also set up a trap on another island of the same size, and quietly waited for those demon beasts to appear.
With the Heavenly Fragrance Illusion Array, coupled with a group of puppets, Sun Yunhao's speed of hunting demon beasts was simply terrifying, on this island, he only stayed for a few days, and he had the harvest of an ordinary immortal cultivator for a year or even a few years!
In just half a year, Sun Yunhao not only harvested hundreds of third-level to fifth-level demon pills, but also harvested a lot of precious demon beast materials. Sun Yunhao didn't even look at it, and burned everything to ashes. If these monks who hunt demon beasts see it, they will definitely scream and destroy the heavens!
In addition to these, Sun Yunhao also spent a lot of materials and continued alchemy to make his alchemy to a higher level. Now, Sun Yunhao has begun to use the third-order demon pill to refine a "Peiyuan Pill", which is an elixir that can greatly increase the strength of the monks in the early stage of foundation building, and it is very suitable for him now.
As for refining this elixir, the three third-grade demon pills required, two of which are relatively common on Island Five, and even Sun Yunhao has a lot of them. The other one is extremely rare on Island Five, and Sun Yunhao can only find seven or eight of them, and they are the kind that they bought from the market. At most, you can refine seven or eight furnaces. Therefore, only when he has a little confidence in his alchemy level will he boldly try.
Therefore, Sun Yunhao will choose the lowest-level Qi Refining Pill, because the low-grade alchemy materials are very cheap and there are many of them, so he will choose the low-level alchemy materials. In addition to the progress of alchemy, Han Li had also harvested a large number of "by-products", that is, low-grade pills and low-grade pills during the Qi refining period, among which there were Qi Gathering Dispersion and Qingling Pills, and even higher-grade "Purifying Pills".
These pills didn't have any effect on Sun Yunhao at all, but it was a bit of a waste to throw them aside, so Sun Yunhao took out some wooden boxes and packed all the pills.
This furnace of Pei Yuan Dan took half a day to refine. This process cannot tolerate the slightest mistake or interruption, otherwise the entire furnace of elixir will be completely abolished, so Sun Yunhao will immediately start the next alchemy as soon as the magic circle is completed. Regardless of whether it succeeded or failed, Wang Lin would stop refining and sit cross-legged, waiting for the arrival of the demon beast.
Although Sun Yunhao's alchemy is not too high, it also has a success rate of about 30%, and it is almost possible to become a pill once in three times. As for the other two pills, nine times out of ten they were defective products, and he could completely use this small ding to refine them into ordinary pills.
This made Sun Yunhao overjoyed, when he used up all the medicinal materials, he got a total of more than twenty pills, and thirty or forty auxiliary pills, according to his estimate, as long as he used up all these pills, he would be able to reach the peak of the early stage of foundation building, and it was even possible to reach the realm of the middle stage of foundation building!
And this is only the third-order demon pill, and the fourth-order demon pill is even more countless, which is enough to refine the "Gathering Spirit Pill" that is very beneficial to the monks in the early and middle stages of foundation building, if he can have such a high success rate, it will not be difficult for him to advance to the late stage of foundation building.
Could it be that he really has a chance to break through to the Yudan period? Sun Yunhao couldn't help but feel a little excited, but as soon as this thought came out, his heart was half cold. Compared with the difficulties of the Dan period, the foundation building is pediatrics at all! Especially for those monks with poor spiritual roots, the knot is even more insurmountable.
And for the monks in the Qi refining period, during the foundation building period, no matter what the spiritual root is, as long as there is enough foundation building pill, it is basically a matter of nine out of ten.
But in the world of cultivating immortals, there is no pill that can be taken all the time and break through to the Dan stage.
It is said that there is an extremely rare elixir that can increase the chance of knotting, but this is enough to make the monks in the foundation building period rush to take it. Moreover, these kinds of pills can only be taken once when they break through the pill period, and if they are more, they will have no effect at all.
In this case, the importance of talent is multiplied. It is said that a monk with a Heavenly Spirit Root does not need to tie the pill at all, and only needs to improve his cultivation to a certain level, and he can naturally succeed in the pill. This made several other monks in the Yudan period envious to death!
Not to mention the Heavenly Spirit Root, even the monks of the Second Spirit Root and the Alien Spirit Root would not be able to avoid this bottleneck. However, most of them failed to break through the knot and were stuck in the foundation building period all their lives.
For a person like Sun Yunhao who has five kinds of spiritual roots, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky if he wants to marry Dan!
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little lost.
However, he quickly regained his composure, although he was used to not liking himself and others, he still walked step by step, maybe one day, he would find the opportunity to tie the Dan period!
On this day, the place where Sun Yunhao was located was an uninhabited desert island, only more than ten miles in size. In addition to the ordinary stone mountains on this island, there are a few towering ancient trees. Although this small island is larger than his hunting plan, there is no more suitable island than this small island within a radius of a hundred miles, so Sun Yunhao decided to arrange a formation on this island first, and then carry out a hunt.
