Chapter 34: Alchemy, expelled
Lu Xiaotian felt a tingling pain in his brain, and quickly withdrew the divine sense acting on the storage bag. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lu Xiaotian looked at this black storage bag in disbelief, it stands to reason that the old man in the black robe has been destroyed by him at this time, and it should not be a problem to open this storage bag, but when he opened it with his divine sense at this time, he was still attacked by the cold spirit like a poisonous snake attached to the storage bag.
Maybe there are still some unsolved secrets on the black-robed old man, but now that the other party has lost his soul, I'm afraid this secret will be silent forever.
It's a pity for that golden flying sword. Lu Xiaotian smacked his lips, but he was also satisfied with today's battle.
At this time, the old man in the black robe has been eliminated, and he can make reasonable use of the mysterious space in his body, except for leaving an empty storage bag on his body to make an appearance, the rest of the spiritual objects have been sent to the enchantment.
After doing this, Lu Xiaotian held his chin, before it was only the second layer of qi refining, even if there was a sufficient supply of pills, it would take several years to cultivate to the fifth layer.
But now he is already at the fifth level of Qi refining. The "Mixed Yuan Sutra" in his hand can only be cultivated to the middle stage of qi refining, so it is imminent to obtain the exercises in the late stage of qi refining.
It's just that a late-stage exercise is basically around forty lower-grade spirit stones in the firm, and ordinary Qi refining period cultivators can barely buy a late-stage Qi refining exercise by relying on their usual income, like Luo Yuan, who even has a certain amount of debt. Now he only has eight lower-grade spirit stones in his hand, and there are only more than ten Yuan Qi Pills that can be sold on his body, although it is a windfall, it is easy to be targeted by some people in the late stage of Qi refining, or even the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. This is extremely unfavorable for the later adventure into the Moon Mountain Range and the collection of spiritual objects needed to join the sect. What's more, you have to collect the mid-stage and late-stage elixir formulas of qi refining later, and you need a lot of spirit stones.
When I go out to find a job to do, the spirit stones I earn in a month are not only used for various expenses, but also for cultivation, and it is estimated that it will take a long time to raise, which will undoubtedly affect my cultivation.
However, Lu Xiaotian thought that in Mochizuki City, people who could refine weapons, raise spirit beasts, or alchemy, and know how to grow low-level spirit grass, or who could make talismans, various workshops and businesses offered good prices.
It just so happens that there are more than a dozen purple spirit grasses in the enchantment, which can also be regenerated, and can be used to refine the Qi Gathering Pill. Lu Xiaotian thought about it and decided to start with alchemy.
The consumption of the pill by the immortal cultivator is a large expense, and it can still meet his own needs, even if the effect of using the Qi Gathering Pill is a little worse now, it is better than nothing. Moreover, as a mid-stage Qi Refining and a junior alchemist, he went to sell Qi Gathering Pills, which would not attract too much attention from others.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaotian went out again, bought all the other herbs needed to refine the Qi Gathering Pill as auxiliary materials, and also bought a batch of wood charcoal. In addition to purple spirit grass, the price of these accessories is not expensive. It only took two lower grade spirit stones together.
Wood charcoal is made by burning low-level spiritual wood. Refining the pill can also use the vitality in the monk's body to directly condense the Yuanyang fire, but this consumes too much vitality, once the vitality in the dantian is exhausted, the fire cannot be connected, and the pill is likely to become a waste pill.
After preparing the materials, Lu Xiaotian hesitantly looked at the environment of the room, the room was too small and not suitable for alchemy. But he had nowhere else to use but this room.
I can't care so much, let's practice it first, thinking of this, Lu Xiaotian turned his heart sideways.
Take out the Dan furnace that I bought from Luo Qing before, there are purple and yellow stripes on the Dan furnace, which is a unique pattern created with purple copper, there is a cold texture when touched by both hands, and three curved feet support the small tripod on the ground.
He had already memorized the Dan Fang of the Qi Gathering Pill, and according to the steps to make a fire, the temperature at which the spirit wood charcoal burned was very high, and it quickly burned Xiao Ding red. Lu Xiaotian first put several flavors of accessories into it one after another according to the steps, reducing the amount of charcoal, and when a slight fragrance came from the small hole in the lid on the Xiaoding, Lu Xiaotian took out a purple spirit grass and put it into it.
After a while, a strange fragrance rose in the ding, and Lu Xiaotian's spirit was shocked, which was exactly the same as the fragrance of the Qi Gathering Pill, but according to the record on the Dan Fang, at this time, only the purple spirit grass in the furnace turned into juice, and the time of opening the furnace must be in place. The medicinal power of the refined elixir is greatly reduced, and if it is late, the refining time will be one, and nine times out of ten it will be refined into a waste pill.
Whew-------
Suddenly, the medicinal fragrance in Xiaoding stopped abruptly, and a choking smell of paste came out.
Oops, just now I only paid attention to the time of opening the furnace and discharging the Dan, and forgot to control the heat, the fire was too large, and the temperature in the Ding was too high, so I directly burned the unformed Dan liquid.
Bang bang.....
There was a loud bang on the door. "Open the door, open the door! What are the people inside?"
"This smell is like alchemy. ”
"It's really ignorant, alchemy in such a small space, and if you don't refine it, you will have a ghost. ”
Several of the early stage Qi refining monks who lived in this inn together sneered and discussed.
"Ahem....."
Lu Xiaotian opened the door, a smell of paste, and the high temperature when the spirit wood charcoal burned made the inn Xiaoer choke and coughed violently, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and before he had time to see Lu Xiaotian's appearance clearly, he accused loudly, "The inn is a place for people, not a place to toss around, what have you done in it, if you burn down the entire inn, can you afford it?"
"Go, you are not welcome in our inn, and you are not allowed to come to this inn again!"
The movement in the inn soon alarmed the shopkeeper. In view of the adverse effects brought by Lu Xiaotian, he even almost burned down the inn. The shopkeeper was shocked and angry and drove Lu Xiaotian out, that is, seeing that Lu Xiaotian was already a monk in the middle stage of qi refining, he didn't say a word. But the meaning of the words is almost the same.
Lu Xiaotian took the alchemy furnace, came out of the inn in embarrassment, and glanced at the inn angrily, what is the big deal, and he didn't really burn the inn. He thought to himself.
"It's really lofty to be an ordinary casual cultivator and want to become an alchemist. There were other monks on the side of the road who saw the smoke from the inn, and when they knew what had happened, they shook their heads and left.
"Hey, isn't this Brother Lu?"
A familiar voice came from the crowd, and Lu Xiaotian heard the sound and saw that it was the Luo brothers and sisters walking towards this side.
"Brother Lu, what's going on, this shop is so unreasonable, I'll go and reason with him. Luo Yuan said very righteously, but soon Luo Yuan reacted and said in surprise, "Brother Lu, how is your cultivation?"
"It's my fault in the first place. Lu Xiaotian grabbed Luo Yuan with an embarrassed expression, saw his shocked look, and explained, "I used a little trick before, but now it's my real cultivation." ”
Then Lu Xiaotian briefly talked about the inn.
"I see. So Brother Lu has nowhere to go now, why don't you move to our residence and join us?" Luo Qing said enthusiastically after hearing this.
"With you?" Lu Xiaotian was wrong for a while.
"That's right. Luo Qing continued.
It turned out that it was very troublesome to rent a place to live in Mochizuki City, and it was a loss to rent an inn alone, so I shared a small courtyard with a few other good friends, four rooms together, only ten spirit stones a month, the space was larger than the inn, there was a small courtyard, and there happened to be a friend who entered the Mochizuki Mountain Range last time, unfortunately died, so a room was vacant. Although the price is a little higher than the guest house, it is more comfortable to stay. And it's not as crowded as the inn.
Lu Xiaotian was a little moved, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was inappropriate, he had some secrets on him that he didn't want outsiders to know. Even the same is true for raising shadow ants in order to surprise the enemy at a critical moment. I thought to myself that there were still a lot of spirit runes in my hand, and selling some of them could solve the spirit stone crisis in front of me. So he refused, "No, I still have some spirit stones in my hand, and I want to rent a small courtyard alone." ”
"Renting a small courtyard alone, Brother Lu is really generous. I do know that there is a courtyard not far from us, and Brother Lu can go and see it if he is interested. Luo Qing smacked his tongue coquettishly, and then said.
In Mochizuki City, usually except for some alchemists with high incomes, refiners, or people in the late stage of the Qi refining period, people in the Great Perfection Realm will rent a courtyard alone. Even many of the later stages of qi refining are shared with others.
"Thank you very much. Lu Xiaotian no longer shirked, and it took a lot of effort to find it by himself.
A few hours later, Lu Xiaotian moved into a new courtyard. There are three fewer rooms than Luo Yuan's brother and sister, but only seven spirit stones are needed a month. The size was enough for him.
There had been no shadow ants for a while, so Lu Xiaotian took out the jade pool and sprinkled dozens of beast spirit pills. Get out the Shadow Ant in the Jade Leaf, which is dormant in the Jade Leaf, but has not eaten for a long time.
The awakened shadow ants were eating anxiously, and some of them even tore each other because they ate the same beast spirit pill while eating, and it seemed that they were hungry. Lu Xiaotian hurriedly separated the biting shadow ants.
After feeding the shadow ants, Lu Xiaotian released the leopard from the spirit beast bag again.
"Whew....." The leopard also held back in the spirit beast bag for too long, and after coming out, he screamed complainingly, and then rubbed his head against Lu Xiaotian's trouser leg tamely.
"Okay, while playing, you are not allowed to go out of the yard. Lu Xiaotian patted the leopard's head and let it move on its own, the leopard is no longer of much use to him now, but when he was weak before, if it weren't for the leopard, I'm afraid he would already be a pile of dry bones at this time. Therefore, even if he was idle, he would not sell useless spirit beasts like some other monks.
