Chapter 112: Alchemy Supply
There was a saying in the monk world, which has been handed down from ancient times to the present: The monk asked Wujiazi, and it has been a hundred years in the snap of his fingers.
Maybe this sentence is a bit exaggerated for the monks of the Innate Stage Realm, but for the great monks of the Yudan Realm, this is a true portrayal.
Of course, in fact, the original meaning of this sentence is that in the cultivation career of a monk, time is always very precious, and he always feels that it is not enough, and it is often like a white horse passing through a gap.
Du Feiyun feels like this now, and he can't wait to use every day as ten days.
After two months of retreat in the secret room, although there was no big surprise, it was also very fruitful, the three high-grade spells were successfully practiced, and the two exercises of the Eight Dharmas were thoroughly understood, which was the biggest gain.
After leaving the customs, there were less than three hundred of his Hui Yuan Pills left, and even the very precious Qingyun Pills were less than twenty left. Such a little elixir was too cold for him, a congenital stage cultivator, and it was definitely not enough for him to consume normally for a month.
Fortunately, it is gratifying that the countless medicinal herbs and flowers in the Lingtian and the medicine garden have finally matured after several months of cultivation by Du Xuanqing.
In this way, it also happened to solve Du Feiyun's urgent need, and he did not hesitate to harvest this batch of medicinal herbs and flowers with Du Xuanqing, and all of them were made into medicinal materials for alchemy.
Now, Du Feiyun's strength has reached the realm of the innate stage, and his cognition of Jiulongding is clearer, and he has gradually discovered more mysteries of Jiulongding. Of course, there are hundreds of countless pills recorded in the Lieshan Pharmacopoeia that have opened their doors to him.
Now, there are hundreds of pills that he can refine. These pills are all extremely precious and rare, and the pills that are refined are also extremely rare treasures.
It's just that he doesn't have so many heavenly treasures and herbs to refine those rare high-grade pills now, after all, what he lacks most now is the Huiyuan Pill, Qingyun Pill, and Dingshen Pill that he relies on to survive, and so on.
The above three pills are the three most commonly used pills in the monk world, and they can also be said to be the food for monks above the congenital stage.
It is far from enough to rely on oneself to absorb the aura of heaven and earth to replenish the vitality and the yuan power in the body. Therefore, congenital stage monks need to take a large amount of Hui Yuan Dan and Qingyun Dan every day to replenish the Yuan power that is constantly being consumed.
Hui Yuan Dan is the most low-level, with more impurities, less recovered Yuan Power, and the simplest refining method. In contrast, Qingyun Dan is much more advanced, more clear and transparent, and the recovery power is even larger.
In the monk world, ordinary monks trade with each other, if they don't use spirit stones as currency, they must trade with Huiyuan Dan or Qingyun Dan. Of course, there are also barterers, but there are very few.
As for the Divine Determination Pill, it is much more advanced than the Qingyun Pill and the Huiyuan Pill, and the medicinal effect is also more powerful, that is, refining the mind and refining the spiritual sense. Innate stage cultivators also need to often take the Tranquility Pill every now and then to refine their minds and improve their spiritual strength.
The value of one Huiyuan Pill is about equivalent to two lower-grade spirit stones, one Qingyun Pill is equivalent to twenty lower-grade spirit stones, and one Dingshen Pill is equivalent to two hundred lower-grade spirit stones.
Innate stage cultivators take these Huiyuan Pills or Qingyun Pills every day, and take the Concentration Pills every three or five times, so calculated, even if there is no fighting, just meditating and cultivating, they will consume at least hundreds of lower-grade spirit stones every day.
Moreover, the higher the strength, the greater the consumption. For example, Du Feiyun now only has the first-level realm of the congenital stage, so he normally consumes about sixty lower-grade spirit stones every day, and if he reaches the seventh-level realm of the congenital stage, he will consume at least two hundred to three hundred lower-grade spirit stones every day.
It is precisely because of this that the monks will flock to the powerful sects, hoping that the sects can provide excellent resources. At the same time, in addition to retreat and cultivation, the monks will be busy with alchemy, refining weapons, except for exploring treasure hunting, mining, collecting medicines, and so on.
Without the resources provided by the sect, and without the many materials and treasures that have been obtained through hard work, it would be difficult for ordinary monks to improve their strength.
As his strength gradually improved, Du Feiyun felt more and more that time was pressing. He believed that in the future, in addition to retreat and cultivation, his cultivation career would be running around and working hard in order to obtain more resources, pills, spirit stones, magic weapons, and so on.
The medicinal herbs and flowers in the medicine field and nursery matured, and after harvesting, seeds were also produced, and they were soon planted in the medicine field nursery, where they continued to be taken care of by Du Wanqing. ,
After Du Feiyun collected enough medicinal materials, he began to get busy again, and began to refine the Hui Yuan Pill and Qingyun Pill in large quantities in the secret room, as well as the Dingshen Pill.
He needs to ensure self-sufficiency first, and store enough pills for daily needs before he has time to do other things later.
The process of refining Hui Yuan Dan is relatively simple, only three rare herbs need to be configured, supplemented by Lingchi spring water, and it can be refined quickly. There are many places in the Lingchi Spring Water in the Hidden Snow Ice Peak, although it is rare but it is not a special treasure, Du Feiyun walked to the Hidden Snow Ice Peak, and Ning Xuewei took him back with several gourds.
It takes about half an hour to refine a furnace of Hui Yuan Dan, and the success rate of ordinary alchemists is really low, but eight out of ten furnaces have become waste, so ordinary innate stage alchemists, even if they work hard, can successfully refine at most four to five furnaces, and harvest more than a hundred Hui Yuan Dan.
But Du Feiyun is more demonic, he is not using an ordinary medicine tripod or a medicine furnace, but a magical treasure Nine Dragons Ding, the success rate is outrageous, refining Hui Yuan Dan, nine out of ten furnaces are successful.
Moreover, he refined one furnace of Huiyuan Dan, and he could refine three furnaces in one hour. What's more, his method of refining pills was completely inherited from the Lieshan Pharmacopoeia, and he was countless times more clever than ordinary alchemists.
Therefore, most of the Hui Yuan Dan he refined was of excellent quality from three to four grades, with fewer impurities, thorough channeling, and more than two percent of the recovered Yuan Power.
He opened the furnace with all his strength to refine the Hui Yuan Dan, and he had to refine at least six or seven hundred Hui Yuan Dan a day, which was four to five times faster than that of an ordinary alchemist. If he was a monk who had been immersed in alchemy for decades, but he had only been refining alchemy for a little more than a year, and he had such a terrifying speed and success rate, which was indeed very shocking.
There is no doubt that if the alchemy elders in the Liuyun Sect learn about this, I am afraid that they will bring him back to the Liuyun Heavenly Palace no matter what, and concentrate on meditating on the Dan Dao in the Medicine Refining Hall.
In just five days, Du Feiyun refined more than 3,000 Huiyuan Pills, more than 200 Qingyun Pills, and dozens of Tranquility Pills. These pills were enough for him to take for two months.
Of course, he has been refining the pill non-stop, and in five days, he has already been empty of Yuan Power, and even the Yuan Power stored in the Nine Dragons Ding is also exhausted.
At the same time, almost all the medicinal herbs were consumed, and if you wanted to continue refining the elixir, you would need to wait for the next batch of herbs to mature in a few months.
With this in mind, Du Feiyun found that although dozens of medicinal fields and nurseries had been opened up in the valley, they were still in short supply. The medicinal herbs that Du Xuanqing spent four months cultivating were only enough for him to take two months when they were refined into pills.
If this continues, no matter how hard Du Wanqing tries his best to take care of the nursery medicine field, he will still run out of food.
What's more, my sister has now reached the late stage of body refining, and she and her mother Du Shi both need pills to nourish their bodies. In addition, when he brought the little golden crown eagle back from the Hidden Snow Ice Peak and brought it with him, the consumption of the pill would be even greater.
Finding that the current situation of the elixir was far from sufficient, Du Feiyun felt that the situation was a little urgent, and he had to find a way to solve the problem of insufficient medicinal materials as soon as possible. At the very least, he couldn't affect his cultivation because the medicinal materials were not enough to refine the pill.
Thinking like this, he put his mind on Jiulong Ding, and decided to plant medicinal herb seedling seeds in the Lingtian Medicine Garden in that space.
After all, the aura in that space was extremely abundant, and the growth rate of medicinal herbs and flowers was definitely several times faster than that of the outside world.
If all the Lingtian Medicine Gardens in that space were planted with medicinal herb seedlings and seeds, he would no longer lack alchemy medicinal materials.
With this in mind, he couldn't wait to enter the Nine Dragons Dingzhong, preparing to plant medicinal herb seedlings and seeds in that space. It's a pity that to his frustration, when he entered the Nine Dragons Dingzhong, he found that the black portal to that space had become blurry and black, and he couldn't pass through it at all.
How can this be?
This discovery undoubtedly made Du Feiyun anxious and puzzled. However, he couldn't figure out the specific reason after thinking about it, and then thought that the refining medicine had exhausted the Yuan Power stored in the Jiulong Ding in the past few days, and in the end, he could only conclude that it must be because the Yuan Power stored in the Jiulong Ding was exhausted, which caused the space to be inaccessible.
A few days later, when Jiulong Ding automatically absorbed the aura of heaven and earth to replenish the storage and recovered eighty percent, Du Feiyun finally entered that space. After entering it, he found that the aura in this space was not as rich as before.
After waiting for ten days to pass, Jiulong Ding's Yuan Force Storage finally returned to fullness, and the concentration of spiritual energy in that space returned to its original state. It was only at this time that Du Feiyun realized that the aura in this space was all stored by the Yuan Power of the Nine Dragon Ding.
In the future, he must keep the Yuan Force storage of the Nine Dragons Ding full, so that this space can be entered by him, and the aura is very strong. Otherwise, once the Yuan Power stored in the Nine Dragons Ding is exhausted, this space will be inaccessible, and the aura will be empty.
After coming to this conclusion in his heart, Du Feiyun kept it in mind, and had to find another way to solve the problem of lack of medicinal materials. He had to find a way to speed up the growth of the herbs so that he could meet his needs for refining pills.
Because Du Xuanqing had been doing things in the elixir garden for a few months, he knew more about growing medicinal herbs. After Du Feiyun consulted Du Xuanqing, he realized that if you want to increase the growth rate of medicinal herbs and flowers, you must have the assistance of the Spirit Gathering Array, the Condensing Light Array, the Rain Formation and the Warming Array.
Du Feiyun had just entered the Innate Stage realm, and he had not yet been exposed to formation cultivation for the time being, so he naturally couldn't arrange a formation to cultivate medicinal herbs. After thinking about it, he decided to take a trip to the Tibetan Snow Ice Peak.
After all, Xue Bing was a powerhouse in the late innate stage, and he was very proficient in alchemy refining tools and arrays. He went to consult Xue Bing, there should be a harvest, and then he could solve the embarrassing situation of lack of medicinal materials and lack of pills.
