Chapter 60: Breakthrough
After more than ten days like this, Xiang Qi successfully refined more than 100 Qi Condensing Pills, but the good news was that the average Cheng Dan rate actually reached 50 percent, and he clearly remembered that the Cheng Dan rate in one of the furnaces actually exceeded 70 percent, which made him very excited and smug for several days. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoNot only that, but the quality of the Qi Condensing Pill has also improved significantly compared to the last time.
"It seems that his talent in alchemy is not too bad. "It's not that Xiang Qi is arrogant, indeed, in just a few months, he has cultivated alchemy to this level, and without extraordinary talent and extraordinary diligence, it is really impossible to achieve it. In the more than 10,000-year history of the Phantom Sword Sect, Xiang Qi can also be ranked among the thousands.
Xiang Qi naturally didn't know about this. He just gave himself some confidence with this narcissistic and banter mentality. After all, the cultivation process is boring and abnormal, and it is necessary to regulate one's emotions from time to time.
However, no matter how optimistic he was, in the past ten days, he had always been puzzled by one thing, and there was no progress in the cultivation of the Qi Refining Technique, and now, his cultivation was still at the peak of the seventh layer of Qi Refining a few months ago, and he had not been able to break through the bottleneck of cultivation, it seemed that the refining of the Condensation Pill had to be put on the agenda.
He remembered clearly that when he broke through the bottleneck of the peak of the sixth layer of qi refining, he had taken three condensation pills one after another, so that he could make his cultivation reach the seventh layer of qi refining. And now, with only one coagulation pill left on his body, he will not take it and try to break through the bottleneck.
"A condensation pill is sold for three hundred spirit stones, and it is not sold in zero, you must buy one bottle at a time! Your sister, a bottle of ten pills, three thousand spirit stones! This is also too expensive!" Before, he also tried to buy a few condensation pills in the market, but when he heard the astronomical price, even he, who had always boasted of being wealthy, was taken aback, and he was slandered for a long time.
It's not that he can't afford it, but he doesn't think it's worth it. After all, his spirit stone was not blown by a strong wind.
Therefore, he made a decision without hesitation, and next, he wanted to practice the refining method of the Zhu Ning Pill.
Xiang Qi is also a neat person, just do what he says, since he has a plan in his heart, he immediately went out to Fang City.
He first set up a stall and sold the recently refined Qi Condensing Pill in one go. Then he bought more than ten raw materials for refining the condensation pills, and rushed back in a hurry.
The raw materials for refining the condensation pill are roughly the same as those for the Qi condensing pill, but the requirements for the year of the material are different. For example, refining the Qi Condensing Pill requires a twenty-year-old White Spirit Fruit and a thirty-year-old Safflower Grass, while refining the Condensation Pill requires a fifty-year-old White Spirit Fruit and a hundred-year-old Safflower Grass. As for the requirements for indispensable auxiliary materials such as Huang Lingsha and Xianhe water, they are also roughly the same, but the quality requirements are higher.
In addition, the requirements for furnace ding and danhuo are exactly the same as refining condensing pills.
Xiang Qi, who already knew about this, did not delay anything after returning to the cave, but directly ignited the abyss rock fire and began alchemy.
To his great surprise, the first furnace of the Condensation Pill he had refined had actually succeeded! Even though the Cheng Dan rate was less than five percent, this was enough to make him ecstatic.
I saw that he stared at this elf-like reddish-brown pill without squinting, and his eyes were full of brilliance.
Next, Xiang Qi put most of his energy on increasing the Cheng Dan rate of the Zhu Ning Pill, but he refined seven or eight furnaces one after another, and each furnace had a Cheng Dan rate of less than ten percent, which made him sigh and become depressed.
The success rate of this condensation pill is too low! The cost of materials required to refine a furnace of condensation pills is close to three hundred spirit stones, that is to say, he can only protect his capital now. If this goes on for a long time, what kind of condensation pills you can refine yourself, you can't just buy them! From this point of view, it is imperative to increase the rate of condensation pills.
Xiang Qi closed his eyes and pondered, the refining process was like a movie screen, replaying frame by frame in his mind. After a long time, Xiang Qi opened his eyes and muttered to himself - the control of the process must be more rigorous.
Temperature control is the most important part of process control. According to the experience of refining the Qi Condensing Pill, in the process of fusing and condensing the pill, the optimal temperature was fifteen hundred degrees, and when refining the Condensation Pill, he copied this experience as it was. Could it be that there is something wrong with the temperature? I guess so, this can also be corroborated by the fact that there are more crumbs of coagulation pills in the waste. It seems that in the process of fusion and condensation, the temperature is too low, resulting in a low rate of Dan.
Out of prudence, Xiang Qi slowly raised the temperature, and when the temperature increased to 1,800 degrees, the Cheng Dan rate actually reached 30 percent.
Xiang Qi, who was overjoyed, was really excited for a long time.
Perhaps, he was carried away by the joy of success, and when refining the next furnace of condensation pills, he recklessly raised the temperature to 1,900 degrees, and during the critical period of the condensing pill, the furnace ding actually burst!
The impact of this furnace burst was several times stronger than last time, directly piercing through the defense of his Long Wood Technique, if it weren't for his quick reaction and flashing to the side, I am afraid that it would be difficult to escape the fate of the fall.
Xiang Qiqiang endured the pain in his heart caused by the piercing of his arm, and successively took several healing pills to stop bleeding and relieve pain, bandaged them simply, and used his exercises to heal the wounds.
Fortunately, the physical strength of immortal cultivators is different from that of mortals, and the wounds that do not hurt the vital point will not have much impact on them, and they can be healed in a few days of cultivation. It is rumored that some powerful people have the earth-shattering ability to regenerate their limbs.
Regarding his injury, Xiang Qi naturally didn't care about it at all. However, his reckless behavior of raising the temperature at will made him depressed in his heart, and he couldn't let go of it for a long time.
It seems that before trying anything in the future, we must clearly analyze the interests and disadvantages, and make full preparations and protections.
But then again, there is no doubt that increasing the temperature can indeed increase the rate of Chengdan. Then, the reason for the self-explosion of the Ding furnace must be that its quality is low.
If you want to increase the success rate of condensation pills, you must buy a high-quality Ding furnace.
However, Xiang Qi did not immediately go out to buy the Ding Furnace, but cultivated cross-legged. On the one hand, he has to heal the injury in his arm, and on the other hand, after the injury is healed, he has to try to break through the bottleneck.
A month later, in an inconspicuous cave in Jianmang Peak, Xiang Qi closed his eyes tightly and sat cross-legged. And around his folded hands, there were several air currents faintly circulating.
"Drink!" Suddenly, Xiang Qi opened his eyes, and after opening his mouth to shout, he spread his hands and pushed forward violently, and the air flow rose into the sky.
However, they didn't fly too far, and after Xiang Qi spit out the word "receive", they suddenly turned around, and disappeared into Xiang Qi's dantian in an instant.
Xiang Qi's face tightened, and his face showed pain. After a few breaths, the color of pain was replaced by excitement, and he saw his hands turn into a semicircle in the void, press down, and collect the exercises.
"Finally broke through the bottleneck!" Xiang Qi slowly stood up and muttered to himself.
