Although he had already decided to try alchemy, Li Xuangang did not start to do it immediately, but picked up the jade cylinder that recorded the Yanggu Dan Dan Fang, immersed it with his divine sense, and studied it carefully in combination with the explanation of the eighth uncle Li Changji before.

After studying for about an hour, Li Xuangang put down the jade cylinder, feeling that he had understood the process and the places to pay attention to.

So he first put the jade tube back into the storage bag, then picked up the spirit wood charcoal that had been prepared next to him and put it under the alchemy furnace, and finally cast a fire spell to ignite it.

Li Xuangang didn't have such a precious item as a fire source stone, so he had to use spirit wood charcoal instead, but fortunately, this kind of charcoal was extremely cheap, and a low-grade spirit stone could buy several catties, so he didn't worry too much about spending too much.

After carefully controlling the size of the flame and heating the alchemy furnace, Li Xuangang threw the Linggu into it and tried to turn it into liquid.

Half an hour passed, and Li Xuangang looked at the pile of white ash in the alchemy furnace and smiled bitterly.

Alchemy is really not so easy, but Li Xuangang was not discouraged, he summed up the reasons for the failure just now, and already knew the key to it, just try again.

Another half an hour passed, and Li Xuangang was still greeted by a pile of white ash turned into a spiritual valley.

The second time still didn't succeed, although Li Xuangang was a little disappointed, but this result was still within his expectations, Li Xuangang is a person with a strong heart, although the two attempts failed in the first step, but this did not dampen his idea of alchemy.

However, Li Xuangang did not immediately start the third attempt, but extinguished the flame first, stood up and paced in the cave, thinking carefully about what went wrong with him.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xuangang finally attributed the problem to his lack of precise control of the flame strength.

Although the problem is clear, Li Xuangang does not have a good solution, his divine sense is not very outstanding, and the only way to solve this problem is to summarize the law in continuous practice.

With this in mind, Li Xuangang continued to open the furnace to refine, but this time, he did not think about all the steps of refining Yanggu Dan, but concentrated on the process of refining the Linggu liquid, and experienced the subtle difference between the flames.

Time kept passing in his attempts like this, and after eight more consecutive failures, Li Xuangang had already exhausted the spirit valley in the general's materials, although he still had some on himself, he still decided to put the alchemy matter aside for a while and slow it down for a while.

So after cleaning up the cave, Li Xuangang took out the Chunlu Pill and took it, and began to cultivate with the aura in the cave.

In the next three months, Li Xuangang went to the Baicao Pavilion at the end of each month to receive the alchemy materials of that month, and then returned to the cave to continue to try alchemy, and after the alchemy materials were exhausted, the rest of the time was spent meditating and cultivating.

In the last month, Li Xuangang not only consumed all the Spirit Valleys he had received from the Hundred Grass Pavilion, but also the Spirit Valleys on his own body were also consumed, and finally with his unremitting attempts, he still succeeded in mastering the technique of turning the Spirit Valley into liquid.

By the time these three months had passed, when Li Xuangang saw Li Changji again in the underground cave of Baicao Pavilion, he had already completed all the materials of Yanggu Dan to complete the steps of liquidization, but the problem of Ning Dan had not yet been solved.

This speed of progress made Li Changji very pleasantly surprised, originally according to his expectations, it would take Li Xuangang at least half a year to a year to touch the threshold of Ning Dan, but he didn't expect him to reach it in three months, which was a speed that no one in the apprentices he had brought before.

Perhaps, this clansman of the Xuanzi generation is really a good seedling of alchemy.

Although with such thoughts, Li Changji did not praise Li Xuangang too much, but continued to encourage him.

Then he guided Li Xuangang's alchemy techniques more seriously, and even asked him to do alchemy in person, observing by himself and putting forward the shortcomings.

Li Xuangang felt that the eighth uncle's attitude towards him was a little different this time, and he was faintly much stricter, with a little eagerness in the strictness.

Li Xuangang is a smart person, and he figured out the reason with a slight turn of his mind.

It seems that his alchemy talent is okay, which has attracted the attention of the eighth uncle. ”

Although he had already learned from Li Changji's attitude that his alchemy talent was not bad, Li Xuangang was still cautious about every alchemy, especially in front of Li Changji, a second-order alchemist.

There are not many opportunities for this kind of face-to-face instruction, and it is much faster than practicing on your own.

After staying in Baicao Pavilion for two days, in the end, although he still did not succeed in Ning Dan, he already had some eyebrows, and Li Xuangang felt that as long as he tried a few more times, he should be able to complete the final Ning Dan step.

When leaving Baicao Pavilion, Li Changji seemed to remember something, and instructed the clansmen of Baicao Pavilion to mention Li Xuangang's alchemy materials for twenty copies every month, and considering that it was too troublesome for Li Xuangang to come to Baicao Pavilion every month to run, let Li Xuangang directly take sixty alchemy materials for three months each time.

In this way, Li Xuangang doesn't have to run to Baicao Pavilion every month.

After returning to the cave from his eighth uncle Li Changji, Li Xuangang entered a state of crazy alchemy, not caring at all about the consumption of spiritual power and divine consciousness during his alchemy.

When the spiritual power is used up, I meditate to recover, and when my divine sense is not enough, I close my clothes and lie down to sleep.

After the spiritual power and divine consciousness are restored, they will continue to alchemy.

After consuming forty-seven copies of Yanggu Dan's materials, Li Xuangang finally refined his first pill, a first-order low-grade Yanggu Dan.

Although the Cheng Dan rate is only one percent, it means that Li Xuangang has stepped into the threshold of an alchemist, and as long as the Cheng Dan rate is increased to four percent in the future, he will be a real first-order alchemist.

When Li Xuangang told Li Changji the news that he had successfully refined Yanggu Dan, Li Changji was also very happy, and in order to reward Li Xuangang, he rewarded him with three bottles of Chunlu Pill on the spot.

Li Changji thought: Although Li Xuangang's current Chengdan rate is still a loss compared to the materials consumed, but according to his fast comprehension speed, he should soon be able to increase the Chengdan rate to forty percent, and at that time, every alchemy will be able to break even, and when he is familiar with it in the future, he will be able to produce output after the Chengdan rate increases again.

So in the next two years, Li Xuangang practiced step by step in Binhaifang City, and with the continuous disappearance of the spirit stones in the storage bag, his cultivation and alchemy skills were also constantly improving, and finally the success rate of Yanggu Dan increased to fifty percent.

Moreover, when the news that Li Xuangang had successfully become a first-order alchemist was transmitted back to Taiqiu Mountain by Li Changji, it also caused a sensation in the family.

You must know that there are three hundred monks in the entire Li family, but there are only three alchemists, two of whom are only first-order alchemists, each alchemist is very valuable to the Li family, and Li Xuangang is also the first alchemist of the Xuanzi generation, and it is very likely that he will go further on the road of alchemy in the future, and maybe he will become the second second-order alchemist of the Li family.

When Li Changqing, the patriarch of the Li family, heard the news, he asked the Li family's caravan to and from Binhaifang City to bring Li Xuangang a reward from the family, as well as a jade cylinder of his own.

The reward for Li Xuangang was Li Xuangang's tenth brother Li Xuankun, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

After receiving the storage bag containing the family's reward and the patriarch's voice jade tube, Li Xuangang took Li Xuankun to take a stroll around Binhaifang City.

Although in the past two years, he has been addicted to cultivation and alchemy, and he has not often been out of the cave mansion, and he is not very familiar with Binhaifang City, but he is still much stronger than Li Xuankun, who came for the first time.

"Brother Jiu, I didn't expect you to become an alchemist so soon, when I heard that you came to Binhaifang City to learn alchemy from Eighth Uncle Gong two years ago, I thought it would take at least four or five years to be enough. ”

Li Xuangang and his tenth brother Li Xuankun are very close in age, almost after Li Xuankun was taken to Taiqiu Mountain by his family from the city of the mortal clan, the two met and grew up together since childhood, so the relationship between the clansmen of the Xuanzi generation is also the closest.

Hearing Li Xuankun's words, Li Xuangang couldn't help but smile:

"You kid still dare to look down on your ninth brother. ”

"Then Brother Nine has wronged me, I am very much in favor of you becoming an alchemist, not to mention anything else, it will be much more convenient for me to refine the pill in the future and go directly to Brother Nine." ”

While talking to Li Xuankun and chatting about some family affairs in the past two years, he walked towards a store.

Eventually, the two brothers stopped not far from a shop that sold corpse refining materials.

This is a shop run by the Yu family near Binhaifang City, and their family specializes in necrosis.

While walking towards this shop, Li Xuangang introduced some information about the Yu family to Li Xuankun.

A year ago, Li Xuangang's refining corpse finally recovered from his injuries, and he also broke through to the fourth layer of qi refining, in order to continue cultivating it, Li Xuangang bought evil qi a few more times, and they were all bought in this shop, so he can be regarded as having some understanding of the situation at home.

"This Yulin Mountain Yu family is also a foundation family, but it was established in the last fifty years, their first generation of patriarch is a foreign affairs elder of the Ghoul Sect, in the case of his own hopelessness, he asked the Ghoul Sect to resign, and then led the clan to establish his own family in Yulin Mountain near Binhaifang City, but in the tenth year after the establishment of the family, he was seriously injured because of the fight with others, and died soon after returning to the family station, and now the patriarch of the Yu family is his third brother Yu Songhe. ”

"This Yu family is from the orthodox disciples of the Ghoul Sect, so the inheritance exercises in the family are based on corpse refining, and because the Yu family has established the family for too short a time, the foundation is a little weak, and now there is only one second-order lower grade spiritual vein in Yulin Mountain, dozens of qi refining monks, and one foundation building monk, and only this shop in front of him is only open in Binhaifang City. ”

"When the first patriarch of the Yu family established the clan, he also asked the second-order array mage of the Ghoul Sect to help him build two ghoul farms around Yuling Mountain, and most of the materials sold in this shop came from here. ”

The ghoul field is a unique corpse raising site of the Ghoul Sect, which requires a special third-order ghoul array to be arranged on a first-order spiritual vein, and then continuously throws corpses and other yin attribute materials into it, and over time, it can produce many corpse refining materials and ghost materials.

Within the control of the Ghoul Sect, there are many such ghoul farms, but the scale is much larger than the two of the Yu family.

Before walking into this shop, Li Xuangang asked again:

"Xuankun, are you sure you want to practice alchemy?"
