Chapter 17: Alchemy

Sure enough, as Wang Chong expected, since Nan Xiaoxue's arrival, some pretentious handymen immediately appeared, inviting Nan Xiaoxue to go out of the city to collect medicine together, and send her back in the evening. Not long after the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info, some trial disciples and outer disciples also joined the ranks of pursuing Nan Xiaoxue.

Every morning and evening, at the gate of the small courtyard where Wang Chong lives, it is very lively.

In order to avoid getting into trouble, Wang Chong went out very early every day, went to the edge of the cloud wilderness to collect medicine, and returned to his residence later than usual at night, trying not to have contact with Nan Xiaoxue, and even if they met, they would say hello politely without too much greeting.

Zheng Jinrong, on the other hand, is a mining handyman from the sect, whose mission is to go to the spirit mine in the west of Yunhuang to mine cold copper. Because he had to go deep into the underground mine to mine the cold copper, the task was difficult and extremely inconvenient, so he had to stay for seven days every time he went down to the mine, and then returned, rested for three days, and then continued to go, and so on.

A month later, Wang Chong handed in another one-time task of collecting medicine from the sect for one year.

"In the next year, I will concentrate on cultivation and study alchemy at the same time!"

Wang Chong had a decision in his heart, and immediately acted to go to the nearest Jade Ding Tower.

Yuding Building is a subordinate institution of the Danxin Pavilion of the Zongmen, and the disciples of the Zongmen can rent an alchemy room in the Yuding Building by paying contribution points, exchange for Dan prescriptions and alchemy materials, and carry out alchemy. All the alchemists of the Nine Fortune Sect, their alchemizing careers, all started from the Yuding Building.

"I'm going to rent an alchemy room and exchange it for one copy of the pill recipe and ten copies of the materials for refining the pill!" Wang Chong walked into the Yuding Building and said.

The person in charge of the deacon's jade tripod building was a hunchbacked middle-aged man, and at this moment, this person was lowering his head and concentrating on studying a pill recipe.

"This junior brother is the first time to alchemize, right? Let me tell you, the first alchemy will be ......" The hunchbacked middle-aged man raised his head and was about to talk to Wang Chong for a few words, but when he saw Wang Chong's clothes and appearance, he was suddenly stunned: "Hmm......?

The hunchbacked middle-aged man changed color violently, and said angrily: "A little handyman, if you don't complete the task of the sect well, what are you doing in Yuding Tower?"

Wang Chong: "......"

Regarding the hunchbacked middle-aged questioning, Wang Chong didn't know what to say.

In the Nine Fortune Sect, the vast majority of alchemists only started their first alchemy after they were promoted to outer disciples. A very small number of people with outstanding talent in plants and trees who later became the Heavenly Glory of the Medicine Dao also began to try alchemy after becoming trial disciples. The miscellaneous servants want to rent the Dan Room for alchemy, this kind of thing is unprecedented in the Nine Fortune Sect.

There was no way, Wang Chong had to reiterate his request: "This senior brother, I want to rent a Dan room and refine the Qingling Pill!"

"Hmph, a little handyman, why are you alchemizing! How many medicinal herbs have you just knew?" The hunchbacked middle-aged man said sharply: "Dan is the Venerable of Medicine, alchemy is a very sacred thing, and you are making fun like this, it is a blasphemy of the way of medicine! Even if I am Lord Huang Shang, the pavilion master of the Danxin Pavilion, the first alchemy of the Dan Heart Pavilion back then, it was also after becoming a trial disciple......

"However, there is no explicit rule in the sect that miscellaneous alchemy is not allowed...... Wang Chong was patient and carried out persuasion work.

"You ......" the hunchbacked middle-aged man was speechless.

Indeed, according to the rules of the sect, there is no prohibition on miscellaneous alchemy.

"Give me the ID tag!"

"Hmph! A little handyman also wants to learn alchemy? Today, if you can refine a pill, I will be in charge, and you will come here for alchemy in the future, and the alchemy room will never charge ......."

The hunchbacked man took Wang Chong's identity tag with an unhappy face, and instructed the handymen behind him to prepare the Dan room, Dan Fang and alchemy materials for Wang Chong.

"One thousand contribution points for the Qingling Pill Formula, six hundred contribution points per day for one alchemy, one hundred contribution points for each alchemy material, a total of ......" The hunchbacked middle-aged man said in a stiff tone, looking very unkind to see Wang Chong.

However, when he took Wang Chong's identity tag and crossed it on the blue jade plate on the table in front of him, and saw Wang Chong's information clearly, his body shook suddenly, revealing an expression of disbelief: "How can you have so many sect contribution points......

Wang Chong opened his mouth and stammered, not knowing how to answer.

In the past two years, he has collected more than ten times as many herbs every day. Therefore, the amount of sect contribution points accumulated is staggering.

Until Wang Chong walked into the alchemy room, the hunchbacked middle-aged man was still immersed in incomparable shock: "How can a small handyman who has only been in the field for three years have so many sect contribution points......?" I'm really old......"

The hunchbacked middle-aged man was both envious and jealous of Wang Chong, and finally said indignantly: "Hmph! No matter how much you contribute to the sect, alchemy is not something that you can do as a small handyman!"

......

Qingling Pill is a first-order lower grade elixir, and it is a common elixir for monks below the third level of the Cave Spirit Period to improve their cultivation.

Wang Chong is no exception.

To refine the Qingling Pill, eleven different medicinal materials are used. Wang Chong did not rush to start refining, but abandoned miscellaneous labor, returned to one, first took each medicinal material of the first alchemy material in his hand, kept observing and thinking, and carefully smelled and understood.

It wasn't until he had made a judgment on the subtle growth years and differences in medicinal properties of each medicinal herb that he suddenly closed his eyes and combed through every link, every method, and every fire node recorded by the Danfang in his mind about refining the Qingling Pill, and then combed it again......

After combing through this three times, Wang Chong basically knew the process of refining the Qingling Pill.

After doing all this, Wang Chong opened the sealing lid in the Dan furnace, put three of the eleven medicinal materials into the medicine tripod, and then used his spiritual power, and gently patted the medicine tripod with both hands according to different techniques.

A quarter of an hour later, a strange smell came from the medicine tripod, and Wang Chong stopped slapping the pill tripod and added four more medicinal herbs to the pill tripod......

When all the eleven medicinal materials were put into the medicine tripod, Wang Chong's trick changed faster, and the frequency of slapping the medicine tripod was even higher.

For a whole hour, a quiet and soft fragrance overflowed from the medicine pod, which became stronger and stronger.

A gleam flashed in Wang Chong's eyes, and he worked together with both hands to make a Cheng Dan formula, and suddenly shouted softly: "Dan Cheng!"

The lid of the medicine tripod was opened, and the three green rhyme pills were dripping and spinning rapidly in the medicine tripod.

Wang Chong was slightly happy in his heart, and was about to play the pill trick and take up the three Qingling Pills, but when he heard a "snort", a cloud of black smoke rose from the medicine pod, and a scorched smell came to his nose, and the three Qingling Pills that had been formed turned into a handful of waste slag.

Wang Chong frowned slightly, poured out the waste residue in the medicine pod, closed his eyes, carefully recalled the process of his alchemy just now, and thought silently.

After a while, Wang Chong opened his eyes with a sense of understanding and said with a smile: "The reason why this first pill failed is because the time to play the Cheng Dan recipe was slightly earlier!"

After finding the reason for the failure, Wang Chong was not in a hurry to start the second attempt, but as before, he observed and comprehended the eleven medicinal materials of the second material one by one.

This time, Wang Chong did this in only a quarter of an hour.

In the second furnace refining, Wang Chong was more proficient, and finally grasped the time of Chengdan just right, and successfully refined three Qingling Pills.

The third furnace, success, five Cheng Dan.

The fourth furnace, success, Cheng Dan six.

But at this time, Wang Chong stopped again, quietly closed his eyes and thought, and after a quarter of an hour, Wang Chong opened his eyes violently and said to himself: "The Qingling Pill prescription disclosed by the sect is to put eleven kinds of medicinal materials into the medicine tripod three times, but if it is changed to four times, not only can it greatly shorten the alchemy time, but also have a certain chance of refining a first-order middle-grade Qingling Pill!"

It turned out that Wang Chong was researching, modifying, and perfecting the Danfang.

If anyone in the Nine Fortune Sect knew that Wang Chong tried to modify and improve the Dan recipe for the first time in alchemy, he would definitely be so shocked that his jaw fell to the ground, and he regarded Wang Chong as a complete monster and a madman.

Wang Chong quickly proved with practical actions that monsters and madmen are usually geniuses!

In the fifth furnace, Wang Chong put eleven kinds of medicinal materials into the medicine tripod in four times, and finally successfully refined five Qingling Pills, four first-order lower grades, and one first-order middle grade. And the entire alchemy process only took half an hour, which was half the time less than the original.

The sixth furnace, six Chengdan, four first-order lower grades, and two first-order middle grades.

The seventh furnace, five Chengdan, two first-order lower grades, and three first-order middle grades.

......

The tenth furnace, seven Cheng Dan, all of which are first-order medium grades.

At the end of the day, Wang Chong refined a total of ten furnaces of Qingling Pill, except for the failure of the first furnace, the other nine furnaces were all successful, a total of forty-six Cheng Dan, twenty-four first-order lower grades, and twenty-two first-order middle grades.

For a person who is alchemizing for the first time, achieving such an achievement, once it is known by the sect, it will definitely cause a sensation and be regarded as a medicinal path seed!

But at this moment, Wang Chong didn't have much joy and pride on his face. Ever since he took that fourth-order high-grade Zhiyun Pill and his grass and tree talent had been terrifyingly improved, he had long been confident in his study of the Dan Dao.

Wang Chong did not rush to pack up and leave, but closed his eyes again and pondered, and after an hour, he slowly opened his eyes, and came to a conclusion in his heart: "Putting eleven medicinal materials into the medicine tripod four times, although the original Dan prescription has been improved, it is still not perfect. If you replace the silk grass with the snow root and reduce the amount of star sand by half, there is a seventy percent chance of refining a first-order high-grade Qingling Pill......"
