Chapter 66: Alchemy

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

"Fellow Daoist, do you want to do alchemy?"

The shopkeeper looked at Zhang Yang in surprise, and stopped talking, this Taoist friend wanted to buy the Ding furnace needed for alchemy and seven or eight years of moon grass, Baise flowers, and octagonal leaves, needless to say, it was to refine the Qi Nourishing Pill.

Alchemy has a great failure rate, and people who have no talent are often lost in spirit stones.

To say that the shopkeeper and Zhang Yang have some friendship after coming and going, the former is even more influenced by the latter, and they are very yearning for Changle Fang. But when it comes to the business of Linglong Pavilion, the shopkeeper doesn't know whether to dissuade this Taoist friend who has a little friendship.

"One medicine tripod, seventeen elixirs needed for Qi Nourishing Pills. Looking at the expression of the shopkeeper, Zhang Yang couldn't help but laugh, with his cleverness, how could he not see that the shopkeeper had the intention of dissuading, and after receiving the kindness of the shopkeeper, he reached out and patted it in the storage bag on his waist and took out a medium-grade spirit stone.

The shopkeeper nodded, took out the medicine tripod worth fifty low-grade spirit stones that Zhang Yang had seen before from the counter, and took seventeen of seven or eight years of fire moon grass, Baise flower, and star anise leaves.

This medicine tripod is already of medium quality, and its value is no different from that of a medium-grade magic weapon, and it is no longer a small business with so many elixirs.

The medicine tripod as a whole is cyan, two or three feet square, that is, about half a meter, Zhang Yang needs to drag it with both hands to hold it in his hand, and after a little look, he put it into the storage bag.

After putting away the fifty-one elixirs, Zhang Yang and the shopkeeper said goodbye with a smile and went to Yunxi Tower.

The shopkeeper watched Zhang Yang leave, shook his head, and sighed in a low voice: "Another one who vainly tries to become an alchemist." ”

After many years in the Linglong Pavilion, he naturally knew the difficulty of becoming an alchemist.

......

Yunxi Building, in a superior room.

Zhang Yang sat cross-legged on the bed, and recited the "Hidden Immortal Pill Sutra" silently in his heart, because of the relationship between Peiyuan Dan Dan Fang, he was very concerned about the Hidden Immortal Pill Sutra in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and wrote it down in detail.

In the Hidden Immortal Pill Sutra, there are only some pills and alchemy experiences, etc., and there is only a little bit of knowledge in the pharmacology of elixirs.

The pharmacology of the elixir, the principle of the refining of the elixir, etc., are all areas that only alchemy masters and alchemy masters need to dabble in, and alchemists who have just started only need to follow the alchemy formula.

It's like a person who can drive, but doesn't necessarily understand the composition and principle of a car.

After reciting the "Hidden Immortal Pill Sutra" silently in his heart, and thinking about the Danfang of the Qi Nourishing Pill again, Zhang Yang patted the storage bag on his waist, and a cyan Ding furnace two or three feet square flew out of it, as well as a moon grass, Baise flower, and octagonal leaves.

The cyan Ding Furnace and the elixir were suspended in front of Zhang Yang like this, and I saw him stretch out his hand a little, and the lid of the cyan Ding Furnace flew up on its own, and I saw that the moon grass flew into the Ding Furnace on its own.

Zhang Yang stretched out his hands and pinched the fire control trick at the left and right ends of the Ding furnace, and with the fire red light lit up, the two flames burned from the ears of the Ding furnace, straight into the inside, and burned to the moon grass in the Ding furnace.

Seeing that the moon grass gradually melted at a degree visible to the naked eye, leaving only a pale blue glow.

Baise flowers and anise leaves flew into the Ding furnace one after another, and they left two clusters of brilliance like the moon grass.

Zhang Yang completed the first step of alchemy, the purification of the elixir.

This step seems simple, but it consumes great consciousness and energy, and if the fire control technique is not good, if the purification fails, an elixir will be declared invalid. However, Zhang Yang's divine sense is inherently strong, and he is a seventh-level cultivator, so it can be said that it is easy to purify the elixir of seven or eight years of fire.

Only a cultivator in the early stage of Qi cultivation who is not strong enough to purify the elixir for seven or eight years will feel a little more difficult.

As the lid of the tripod was closed by itself, Zhang Yang pinched the fire control trick with his left hand, and pinched up the tricks with his right hand and hit the top of the tripod furnace.

According to the pharmacology mentioned in the "Hidden Immortal Pill Sutra", the moon grass belongs to yin, the Baise flower belongs to yang, and the octagonal leaf is used for the harmony of yin and yang.

...

In less than a stick of incense, Zhang Yang withdrew his hands, and under the divine consciousness, the lid opened by itself, and with a faint fragrance, he saw a white pill the size of a soybean lying in the Ding furnace, with thirty-six grains.

I didn't expect the first alchemy to be successful!

It's not too hard!

Zhang Yang's face was delighted, but he couldn't help laughing at himself when he thought that he was a monk in the late stage of Qi cultivation, both in terms of mana and divine sense, was much higher than that of a monk in the early stage of Qi training.

Whether it is to use the fire control technique, or to purify the elixir, or to refine the subtle control of the alchemy, refining a furnace of qi nourishing pills, with Zhang Yang's mana and divine sense, there is no pressure.

It is recorded in the "Hidden Immortal Pill Sutra" that an introductory pill such as the Qi Nourishing Pill can be refined by a monk who has just practiced Qi in the early stage.

took out a jade box, put thirty-six Qi Nourishing Pills into the box, Zhang Yang took out a moon grass, a Baise flower, and an octagonal leaf, and began refining the next furnace.

With his cultivation and divine sense, refining the Qi Nourishing Pill was not a big consumption.

An hour or two later, Zhang Yang had already fully refined the seventeen furnaces of Qi Nourishing Pills.

The probability of success in refining was beyond his expectations, only one furnace of pills had a slight deviation in the process of refining, and the remaining sixteen furnaces of pills were all successful.

The success rate is above 90%!

Sixteen furnaces of pills, one furnace of thirty-six pills, a full five or six hundred pills.

However, Zhang Yang pinched his fingers and calculated, five or six hundred Qi Nourishing Pills, according to the price of eleven pieces of a spirit stone, that is, about fifty spirit stones, he worked hard for half a day in vain, but he only earned back the cost of the elixir, if you calculated carefully, he only earned one spirit stone!

But after he came to Linglong Pavilion to peddle Qi Nourishing Pills, he knew that not only did he not make any money, but he also lost three spirit stones!

Because the price of Linglong Pavilion's adoption of Qi Pill is twelve grains of a spirit stone.

Hearing this price, Zhang Yang smiled bitterly, no wonder the casual cultivators outside are setting up stalls to sell Qi Nourishing Pills, such a price difference is naturally a cost-effective price for stalls.

He is higher than ninety percent of the Cheng Dan rate, and seventeen furnaces of pills were lost because of the failure of one furnace!

Rao is like this, the shopkeeper looked at the five or six hundred Qi Nourishing Pills that Zhang Yang took out, and was still a little surprised, if this Daoist friend was refining for the first time, seventeen Elixir Qi Nourishing Pills had refined so many Qi Nourishing Pills, which was already quite a talent for alchemy!

I can't say that this fellow Daoist really has the possibility of becoming an alchemist!

When the two first met, Zhang Yang was only one layer of Qi training, even if he worshiped the Huoyun Sect, his current cultivation made him unable to see through, he only thought that Zhang Yang Dingtian was the fourth layer of Qi training.

Cultivators in the late stage of Qi cultivation will naturally have a much easier time refining the Qi Nourishing Pill than low-level cultivators.

Zhang Yang didn't have the time to go outside to set up a stall, so at the moment, at the price of a spirit stone and twelve Qi Nourishing Pills, he sold all the pills in his hand, and bought ten more medicinal materials needed to refine the Aiki Pill.

Ten years of seven-star flowers, one plant and ten spirit stones. Seven or eight years of golden grass, honeysuckle, a piece of spirit stone. Ten plants each, a full one hundred and twenty spirit stones.

After buying a few more gourds with medicine in Linglong Pavilion, Zhang Yang returned to Yunxi Tower.

This kind of gourd with medicine cannot be called a magic weapon, and it is the same as the magic robe on Zhang Yang's body, with only a simple layer of prohibition.

This layer of prohibition on the gourd is to prevent the spiritual loss of the elixir, even if it is not called a magic weapon, it is still a spirit stone.
