In the Supreme Daoist Palace, the status of the Dan Master is very high, if he can refine the third-grade pill, he can be promoted to an elder, and when he reaches the level of the fourth-grade Dan Master, he is a great elder, with a high position.

And the Five-Rank Alchemy Grandmaster, in the entire Supreme Daoist Palace, is only under the mountain lord and the seven deputy mountain masters, and the title of the Taishang Elder can be said to be transcendent, and no one can be offended.

Even if it is the owner of the mountain, he must give him some face, eat and drink well, and take whatever he wants.

This is only the Zhidao Palace, if it is placed in other places in Lingzhou, the status of alchemists is more respectful, because they have fewer alchemists, like alchemy masters, alchemy grandmasters, this level is even rarer, and sometimes, even ask to go to the head of the Zhidao Palace.

The higher the grade alchemist, even without the slightest cultivation, can obtain endless honor wherever he goes, even more noble than the heart cultivator of the same level, this is the status of an alchemist.

If Xiao Mo was not recommended by Zhan Ruoshui, and behind Zhan Ruoshui, there was another powerhouse in the human realm, there was no doubt that he would not even have the opportunity to see Master Zhongli, let alone worship him.

After knowing that the identity of the alchemy master was so noble, Xiao Mo couldn't help but be secretly speechless, while thanking Zhan Ruoshui for his help, not only did he not flinch, but became more convinced.

The alchemist is so noble, and naturally he is also very rich, and isn't this one of the original intentions of his desire to learn alchemy? It seems that he has not taken the wrong path on this path.

It's just that after introducing the classification of herbs, pills, and alchemists, Master Zhongli told Xiao Mo two more news, but it made his ecstatic heart feel cold, a little uneasy, and he suffered from gains and losses.

The powerful alchemist seems to be glamorous, but in fact, he is also walking on thin ice, he seems to be rich, but in fact, he is also frightened, one is not good, not only will he not make money, but he may lose all his money.

Why?

Alchemy, in fact, there has never been a saying that it is 100% Dan, if it can really be 100%, it is either a high-grade alchemist to refine low-grade pills, or it is the legendary Dansheng, Danxian level.

But in fact, for the Dan Saint and Dan Immortal levels, their chances of failure are even greater, because what they challenge is often a higher-grade pill, and this kind of pill refining is more difficult, and every time they fail, the loss is so heavy that it is not something that ordinary Dan masters can imagine.

That kind of level is not considered, just say that Zhongli Danshi is such a level, he is now a fourth-grade Dan master, but how did he get promoted, if you don't know, you will only envy his grade, but you will never think of the price he paid.

And if he wanted to rush through the bottleneck of the fifth-level alchemy master, the price he needed to spend was even more staggering.

Generally speaking, every alchemist needs to have a stable rate of success when refining this level of pills, and this success rate must ensure that he can at least not lose money when refining pills of this level, and even have a certain amount of profit, otherwise, he is not worthy of the title of this level.

For example, a second-grade alchemist, if the success rate of refining the Little Soul Determination Pill is about 30%, it can barely keep the capital, at about 40%, it is a small profit, at about 50%, it can reach double the profit, and more than 60%, it is pure profiteering.

But if it's less than 30 percent...... Then if he goes to refine the Little Soul Determination Pill, not only will he not make money, but he will lose so much that he will lose even his pants.

Because refining the Little Soul Fixing Pill, all kinds of spirit grasses and auxiliary materials needed were not provided for free, and he needed to spend a certain price to collect them.

The school palace also has a way of free supply, but the minimum needs to be calculated according to the amount of thirty percent of the pill, that is to say, how many herbs you take out, you have to hand over the pill according to the number of three percent of the pill rate, if it is higher, you are earning a little, if it is lower than ...... Is it a loss?

No matter how rich you are, you can't afford to refine the pill every day in a loss-making way, at this time, you might as well refine a low-grade pill, the success rate will be higher, at least you can make money.

Therefore, if you are fortunate enough to refine a high-grade pill once or twice, although you can barely be called a high-grade alchemist, once you can't keep your capital, you will ascend, which is tantamount to asking for hardship.

However, no one is always willing to be subservient, and promotion is the path that everyone dreams of.

The first-rank alchemist is always eager to refine the second-rank pill to be promoted to the second-rank pill, and the second-rank alchemist is always eager to refine the third-grade pill to be promoted to the third-rank pill, and the same is true for the third-rank pill master......

Eating the meal of the Third Rank Dan Master, but there is no doubt that what they are most eager for has always been to be promoted to the Fourth Grade!

So before they were promoted to the Four Pins Pill Master, did they have to bear all the consumption of trying to refine the Four Pins Dan Medicine?

Every time the refining fails, all the materials for refining this furnace of Four-Rank Dan will be lost, and if it is a Four-Rank Pill Master like Zhongli Dan Master who wants to be promoted to a fifth-grade Grandmaster, then every time a furnace of Five-Rank Pill fails, the loss is even more of the sky-high wealth of spiritual grass.

Therefore, every alchemist seems to be very rich, but inside he is actually very hard, as long as you have the desire to be promoted, no matter how much wealth you have, it is not enough for you to squander.

The higher you go, the bigger the hole you need to be promoted again, and you can't make up for it at all, so you can only spend money while making money, and work hard for that glimmer of hope.

In the end, there is always a ceiling above your head, and this time, all the efforts are a bamboo basket to draw water, until the end of your life, and there is no ability to toss.

Of course, unless you are satisfied when you reach a certain level, you only refine the elixir of this level, and you don't want to be promoted at all, then this kind of trading that only makes money and does not lose money can accumulate a lot of wealth, which is true.

It's just that there must be few such people all over the world.

Therefore, the alchemist seems to be glamorous and rich, but in fact, it is not, if you want to earn a lot of merit by relying on this, unless you can ensure that your Dan rate is far more than 30% every time, it is possible to meet your consumption of continuing to be promoted, and earn a lot of wealth at the same time.

But it is more difficult to increase the Dan rate than to promote to a higher rank, most people have been maintaining a balanced Dan rate of about three or four percent all their lives, and those who can reach more than fifty percent are rare, not to mention more than sixty percent......

Zhongli Danshi's words made Xiao Mo's heart cold, but he didn't stop there, anyway, he came, first, to earn meritorious service, and secondly, to see if he could discover a little more of the mystery of Xuanhuo Ding from the perspective of alchemy.

If the merits can't be earned, it's good to know more about the magical Danding of Xuanhuo Ding, anyway, they have already come to this point, at least they can't let Zhan Ruoshui's recommendation go to waste.

After figuring this out, Xiao Mo made up his mind, and the second thing Zhongli Danshi told Xiao Mo made Xiao Mo's eyes light up.

That is, about the quality of the elixir.

The same materials, the same alchemy techniques, and even the same time and the same pill production rate, the final refined pill may also be different.

This difference is not a different type, for example, if you refine the Soul Pill and you can refine a Heavenly King Heart Preservation Pill, this is impossible, but this difference refers to the different qualities of the pills.

A pill, according to the amount of essence contained in the medicine, as well as some extremely accidental events in the refining process, or even a slight change in the fire, will refine the pill of different qualities.

The quality of the pill is divided into six types: waste pill, defective product, ordinary, good product, excellent product, and mutation.

Among these six quality pills, the meaning of waste pills is obvious, that is, the pills that have been refined and discarded, without any value, and the defective products are slightly flawed in the refining process, but it is not that they cannot be used, but the pills whose efficacy will be reduced, and the general price will be slightly lower than the market price.

Ordinary is the pill that is normally refined, and the value of all pills is basically calculated according to the ordinary quality pill.

As for the last three, they are relatively rare.

Good pills, in the process of refining, may be accidental, the efficacy of the pill slightly improved, according to the efficacy of the normal pill increased by about 10% to 90%, for the good product.

The price of good pills is also slightly more expensive than normal pills, some are one to ninety percent, and some may be directly doubled, or even two or three times, five or six times, depending on the specific function of the pill and the rarity.

For example, a good product small soul pill belongs to the public category, it is not valuable, and it is one or two percent more expensive.

But if it is a good quenching vein Yi Gu Dan, it will be rare, and the direct price will more than double the price, and it is even very likely to be three or four times, at that time, it is no longer possible to divide the price of the pill according to the increase in the efficacy of the pill.

Because of the Quenching Pulse Yi Gu Dan, the better the medicinal effect, the greater the transformation of people, and theoretically, each person can only eat less than three Quenching Pulse Yi Gu Dan in his life, so choosing above the ordinary quality is the choice pursued by many people.

On top of the good products, there are also the best, the so-called best pills, generally the efficacy is more than double that of ordinary pills, this kind of pills, regardless of the type, the price is at least doubled, and some rare pills can even be doubled by seven or eight times, or even more than ten times the sky-high price.

The last one is more special, the so-called mutant elixir, which may be extremely accidental in the refining process, and even less than 1 in 10,000, 1 in 100,000, or 1 in a million has a chance of appearing.

This kind of elixir is no longer to improve or weaken the medicinal properties, but the medicinal properties have been transformed, although the small soul pill cannot become the Heavenly King Baoxin Pill, but it may become an extremely rare and rare Xingyue Jade Soul Pill, and the medicinal effect is no longer to help people improve the speed of cultivation, but to directly increase a certain soul perception ability.

The value of this elixir is undoubtedly ten times that of an ordinary small soul fixing pill, or even more than a hundred times, and every time one appears, it will be coaxed away in an instant, and it has no price.

Because this elixir cannot be deliberately refined, it is an extremely rare mutated elixir.

Among the four main medicines of the Soul Fixing Pill, the amount of Ming Shuttle Flower and Xingyue Qinlan was originally very small, but in this elixir, Ming Shuttle Flower completely lost its effectiveness, and Xingyue Qinlan in turn suppressed the medicinal properties of Dingfeng Grass and Heart Soul Grass, and combined it into a strange pill that directly acted on the human soul.

But if you deliberately increase the weight of Xingyue Qinlan and reduce the Dingfeng Grass and Heart Soul Grass, it is impossible to succeed, and no one can tell the truth in this.

However, according to the refining method of the Little Fixing Soul Pill, there is indeed a very small chance of mutating the Xingyue Jade Soul Pill, but according to the medicinal properties of the Xingyue Jade Soul Pill, the possibility of failure is 100%, and no one has ever succeeded.

This is the charm of the mutated elixir, sometimes it has some very special effects, of course, there are also counter-effects, and the mutated elixir is not valuable.

Overall, the appearance of mutant pills is very rare, and there are good and bad, but once a good mutant pill appears, it is really an overnight rich, and it is no longer a myth, but unfortunately many people may not be able to encounter it once in their lives.

After knowing that there were so many variables in the process of alchemy, Xiao Mo calmed down, and after the fifteenth day, he finally started to try to refine his first furnace of pills, the most ordinary one-grade pill, the Pure Spirit Pill.

ps: second update.
