Chapter 63: Alchemy
At the beginning, Shen Lingxi didn't dare to directly refine the Gu Yuan Dan with the materials of refining the Gu Yuan Dan, after all, Shen Yunxi only prepared two seventh-rank spirit beast demon pills for her, so there were only two chances to refine the Gu Yuan Dan.
Shen Lingxi would not be conceited to the point that she would refine the Yuan Pill at the beginning of alchemy, she knew the principle of gradual progress, so she used the sixth-grade alchemy furnace to refine the ninth-grade Huiling Pill at the beginning, this low-level simple pill.
That's it, Shen Lingxi still refined seven or eight furnaces before he came out with two decent ninth-grade spirit pills.
However, with the first success, Shen Lingxi slowly mastered some of the skills of alchemy, in fact, sometimes you can never understand the tricks just by looking at it, even if people write each step in detail, you can't understand it without your own practice.
After these failures, Shen Lingxi learned a lesson from them, and then compared with Shen Yunxi's alchemy strategy and the tricks taught by the teachers in the academy, he slowly found some feelings.
After another half a year, Shen Lingxi had repeatedly refined the ninth-grade spirit pill hundreds of times, and now he could now successfully produce a top-grade ninth-grade spirit pill 100% every time.
The academy was surprised that Shen Lingxi had gone from an alchemy layman to being able to skillfully refine ninth-grade pills in one year.
As a result, Shen Lingxi's reputation as a genius of the Shen family became a little louder.
However, only Shen Lingxi herself knew that if she couldn't refine the Gu Yuan Dan a little faster, then her cultivation would stop in the innate stage for a long time.
This year, Shen Lingxi worked tirelessly to study alchemy, and there was indeed no progress in cultivation, and there was no change in the twelfth layer of the innate stage.
This already made the cheap lady Shen Ziyan a little puzzled, after all, when Shen Yunxi was there, she had raised her cultivation to the twelfth layer of the congenital stage in less than a year.
This year has passed again, but Shen Lingxi is still in the innate stage, Shen Ziyan feels that even if Shen Lingxi advances to the first level in this year and breaks through to the first level of the Qi cultivation period, this is acceptable, but what is the matter with you Shen Lingxi standing still and cultivating for a year without moving.
Shen Lingxi was also very anxious about Shen Ziyan's doubts, but he could only prevaricate by studying alchemy hard.
Fortunately, in terms of alchemy, Shen Lingxi is not too stupid, and the ninth-grade elixir has now been casually refined by her in the sixth-grade alchemy furnace.
At this point, Shen Ziyan could only reluctantly agree with Shen Lingxi's statement.
However, Shen Lingxi knew that this year was a thrilling one, and if his cultivation in the second year could not break through to the Qi cultivation period, this would not be easy to explain.
So Shen Lingxi, who felt the crisis, worked even harder in learning alchemy, even to the point where he could memorize the alchemy strategy left by Shen Yunxi.
It's just that now she can only skillfully refine the ninth-grade pill, this seventh-grade Guyuan Dan, she still doesn't dare to try, after all, there are only two chances, so for the second half of Shen Yunxi's alchemy strategy, Shen Lingxi can only stay in theory, and what kind of situation will be encountered in the practical process, this Shen Lingxi does not dare to guarantee.
This year, Shen Lingxi asked the shopkeeper Qin to buy a large number of medicinal materials, and Shen Lingxi simply took advantage of the school holidays and locked himself in the room for crazy alchemy day and night.
Seeing that a cart of medicinal raw materials was pulled into Shen Lingxi's room, and when they came out, they turned into a lot of ninth-grade and eighth-grade pills, Shen Ziyan also had to sigh, Shen Lingxi was really hard working in terms of alchemy.
Shopkeeper Qin collected all the ninth-grade and eighth-grade elixirs refined by Young Master Lingxi and a small amount of seventh-grade pills, and sold them wildly in the auction house every three days.
Shen Lingxi is like an alchemy machine, in addition to going to school to learn alchemy, he continues to practice alchemy after going home for dinner, and he is summarizing the mistakes and skills of the alchemy process in his sleep.
Shopkeeper Qin felt that the output of Young Master Lingxi's refining pills alone was comparable to the output of a small alchemy workshop.
In the past half year, Shen Lingxi was finally able to skillfully use the sixth-grade alchemy furnace to refine the seventh-grade elixir.
During this period, according to the statistics of Gu Qin's shopkeeper, the elixir refined by Shen Lingxi was sold for a total of nearly 200,000 taels of silver.
You must know that these 200,000 taels are all sold for tens of two hundred taels of ninth-grade and eighth-grade pills, so you can imagine how crazy Shen Lingxi's alchemy is.
"Finally, I can skillfully refine the seventh-grade pill, and I hope that this seventh-grade Guyuan Pill can be successfully refined. ”
On a sunny morning during the routine bath in the school, Shen Lingxi really went to bathe and change clothes, burned incense and prayed, and locked himself in the room.
Today, Shen Lingxi was going to try to refine the seventh-grade Guyuan Dan, prepared all the materials according to Shen Yunxi's Dan recipe, and took out five special spirit gathering arrays for alchemy, and then Shen Lingxi solemnly put the sixth-grade Blue Water Venus Alchemy Furnace, which was already very handy, in the middle.
After instructing Hu Tao to let everyone not come and disturb him, Shen Lingxi began to breathe and prepare to start refining Gu Yuan Dan.
Shen Lingxi first used spiritual power to stimulate the spirit gathering array dedicated to alchemy, and the spirit gathering array began to work slowly, and the spiritual energy within a radius of one thousand meters around began to gather in Shen Lingxi's room.
This magic circle is dedicated to refining seventh-grade elixirs, so the action time of a spirit gathering array is one hour, and some skilled alchemists can successfully refine seventh-grade elixirs in this hour.
But what Shen Lingxi wants to refine is Guyuan Dan, although this pill is of the seventh grade, but from the pill left by Shen Yunxi, it can be seen that the refining process of this pill is relatively complicated, and Shen Lingxi feels that he is not sure that he can refine it in an hour.
Therefore, with a prepared attitude, Shen Lingxi prepared five spirit gathering arrays in one go, which means that the longest time is five hours, and Shen Lingxi only needs to refine the Guyuan Pill in these five hours.
In fact, Shen Lingxi even wanted to directly use ten Spirit Gathering Arrays as a backup, but this Spirit Gathering Array was not very easy to buy, and the price was extremely expensive, one Spirit Gathering Array cost Shen Lingxi 10,000 taels of silver, and these five cost Shen Lingxi a full 50,000 taels.
To be honest, Shen Lingxi still has some pain in the price of this Spirit Gathering Array, after all, even if he refines an ordinary seventh-grade or sixth-grade elixir, only one can be sold for hundreds or thousands of taels, although using the Gathering Spirit Array can increase the success rate of ordinary these pills, but it is still a loss-making deal.
Therefore, when he usually practiced refining seventh-grade or even sixth-grade pills, Shen Lingxi was reluctant to use this Spirit Gathering Array, but now he wanted to refine the Guyuan Pill, which was very critical to himself, and there were only two opportunities, so Shen Lingxi also made a bloody investment and used all the favorable conditions for Cheng Dan.
