Chapter Twenty-Three: The Elixir is Difficult

If you want to solve the defect of the slow cultivation speed of the Five Spirit Root qualifications, the best way is to refine some pills that will help increase your strength and break through the bottleneck. There are two biggest difficulties for an immortal cultivator to refine the pill, the first is that the medicinal materials required to refine the pill are some of the best holy medicines, each of which is a rare treasure that can be put on the market for ordinary monks to go bankrupt and fight desperately;

The difficulty of the first elixir, after having the Linglong Secret Realm, is no longer a problem, the key is the problem of the second alchemist. If you go to the alchemist in the sect to refine it, then the matter of your own elixir will inevitably be exposed, and there will be endless troubles in the future.

After Lu Xu carefully considered all aspects, he finally decided to study alchemy by himself.

Speaking of alchemy, we have to say that there are the four most popular professions in the world of cultivating immortals, among which the first place is the alchemist, in addition to the refiner, array mage and talisman maker.

The refiner is a master who refines special magic weapons that can only be used by immortal cultivators, and like an alchemist, he needs the full support of the sect to be cultivated, and it is impossible to become a refiner without refining dozens of magic weapons with his own hands and accumulating the necessary experience. And the materials of the refining tools are all cherished spiritual objects, how can ordinary monks have the opportunity to touch and refine so many magic weapons.

As for the formation mage, it is even more rare, in addition to having a certain attainment in refining weapons, he must also know many obscure formation methods. There are even fewer such people, often a medium-sized sect will have such a formation mage, and a smaller sect will not have a formation mage at all.

The last talisman maker is the one who makes the talisman. Relatively speaking, the Fu Seal Master is the least expensive to cultivate among the four professions, but this is relatively only for a sect, and it is also extremely difficult for an individual to become a Fu Master by his own financial resources, and it can even be said that the possibility is very small.

And the alchemist ranks first among the four major professions, which is naturally even more difficult.

It is best for an alchemist to be a cultivator who is proficient in fire attribute or wood attribute exercises, of course, if he can possess the legendary fire, it is naturally better.

At the beginning, it was still easy to learn alchemy, after all, its essence was to decompose and reorganize some medicinal materials, and then condense them into pills with high temperature. As long as you are not too stupid, you can easily learn the general process.

The only problem is that learning doesn't mean that you can really refine the elixir.

After all, the successful refining of each elixir must test the alchemist's ability to control all aspects such as material allocation, temperature control, and the time when the elixir is baked.

Even a slight deviation in one of these areas can cause the entire refining process to fail.

And most of these things can't be taught by words and deeds, and can only be truly mastered by personal practice.

Therefore, even the most brilliant Dan Master would never dare to say that he was 100% successful in the face of refining the simplest pills.

As for those novices who are new to alchemy, even if they refine the simplest pills, the pill yield rate will be outrageously low.

Hundreds of times refining not even a single pill has been refined, which is a common thing for newcomers.

As for the refining of those mid-to-high-level pills, because the pills are more complex and the materials used are more scarce, it is impossible to have any practice and test when refining, and most of them can only rely on the Danshi's previous experience in pills to refine, and the requirements for the Danshi are naturally higher.

And a real Dan Master doesn't need to practice again and again and accumulate massive resources to appear.

This naturally led to the extremely rare number of Dan Masters in the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm, and it could even be said that only those real big sects and big forces could possibly cultivate real middle and high-level Dan Masters.

The most famous No. 1 alchemist in the Zixiao Sect was just a middle-level alchemist in the Danyang Peak where Lu Xu was. But in this way, his status in the sect is also completely different from that of other foundation building period monks, and no one dares to offend easily. And this alchemist is also the guarantee of Danyang Peak's reputation for alchemy in the Zixiao Sect.

And Lu Xu's problem at the moment is that he has never been in contact with alchemy, let alone talk about alchemy, and he doesn't have a single pill on his body. What made him even more depressed was that there were only three elixirs in the Linglong Secret Realm, and the spirit stones on his body were not enough for him to buy more elixir seeds.

It's really a rich man, it's difficult for a man without money, there is a treasure against the sky and can't use it, you can imagine how aggrieved it is.

After frowning and thinking for a long time, Lu Xu finally thought of a solution.

First of all, there is the problem of seeds, this is not difficult to do, half a year later, Lu Xu and other new disciples who joined the Zixiao Sect will start to carry out their daily tasks. And one of these daily tasks happens to be guarding the medicine garden, and this task happens to be the most exclusive task among the disciples.

The disciples of the medicine garden must be resident in the medicine garden, and they must always maintain the growth of the elixir in the medicine garden, and hand over a certain amount of elixir every month. Not to mention the time for delaying cultivation, if you don't meet the requirements, you will be punished.

Zixiao Sect has nearly ten medicine gardens, large and small, as long as Lu Xu has the heart, he will definitely be able to receive this task. When the time comes, I go to the medicine garden, and the seeds are not yet there, as for the monthly quota of handing in elixirs, it is not a problem to have the Linglong Secret Realm.

As for the issue of alchemy, this is not an overnight thing, fortunately, the Danyang Peak where Lu Xu is located is famous for alchemy, and the moon is the first to get close to the water.

"What, you're going to be a furnace disciple?" Liu Feng looked at the little junior disciple in front of him with a strange expression, and said in surprise.

"Yes, Senior Brother Liu. Lu Xu smiled slightly.

"Senior Brother Lu, you have to think clearly, this depends on the difference between a furnace disciple and an alchemy disciple. Alchemy disciples can also be appreciated by their uncles and teach some alchemy, but this furnace disciple can only do chores in the Dan room, and the only benefit is that they can get two spirit stones every month. Delaying cultivation is more than worth the loss, junior brother. Liu Feng persuaded bitterly.

"Senior Brother Liu, I have thought clearly, being a disciple of the furnace can always accumulate some experience in alchemy, the junior brother Linggen's qualifications are not good, so he must think of some way out. ”

Hearing this, Lu Xu smiled bitterly in his heart, why didn't he want to be an alchemy disciple, but his spiritual root qualifications were too poor and no one could look at him.

"Okay, since the junior brother has made up his mind, then I won't say more about the senior brother, in short, junior brother, you can take care of it yourself. Come with me, and I'll take you to Uncle Zhu. Liu Feng nodded when he heard this, in his opinion, Lu Xu's reason was also in the past, rather than wandering in the third or fourth layer of the Qi refining period in an ordinary life, it was better to take the initiative and master a little skill. Although this disciple of the furnace has not been taught alchemy, he can always gain some experience after many years of hearing and seeing.

"Senior Brother Xie Liu is complete. Lu Xu hugged his fist at Liu Feng.

"Senior brother don't have to be polite, this Uncle Zhu we want to see later, but a famous alchemist in our Danyang Peak is a little weird, so you have to be more careful after your junior brother goes. Liu Feng babbled and said.

Along the way, Liu Feng took the trouble to explain the situation of the Danfang, and after a while, the two came to a quaint attic.

"Uncle Zhu, disciple Liu Feng has something to ask to see. ”
