Chapter 71 Refining the Elixir
The next day, Jiang Lan handed the drawn "transmission talisman" to He Xiaomi so that she could contact him if she had anything to do.
This talisman is basically one-time use, unless the weapon refiner refines a "talisman".
It is then carved into a talisman by a talisman master, so that it can be used multiple times!
Although this transmission talisman is a first-level, high-grade talisman inheritance, it has spread widely and basically has this inheritance.
Therefore, in terms of price, it is not particularly expensive, costing about 50 spirit stones each.
The comparison is just the price of a first-level mid-grade talisman.
However, for Jiang Lan, it is very expensive!
To put it bluntly, this thing is similar to the chat software in the previous life, but it is completely incomparable.
This thing has a range, and a first-level high-grade one can also be used to send messages within the entire Xiaoyao sect, and maybe it can be expanded outwards...
And it can only transmit one piece of information at a time. If it comes back and forth, 100 spirit stones will be lost.
One month's salary for inner disciples...
Of course, this is the transaction price, and the cost price is not that high. A stack of 50 first-level talisman papers, which is about 10 spirit stones, can be used to draw low-grade talismans.
First-class fine talisman paper, which can draw top-grade or top-quality talismans, costs 5 spirit stones per piece.
Take the Transmission Talisman as an example. It sells for 50 spirit stones. If it is fully produced, the cost can be controlled at around 5 spirit stones.
After all, spiritual ink and spiritual pens can be used multiple times, and once the quantity increases, it is basically not worth the money on average.
10 times the profit!
Of course, this is an ideal state, which also involves costs such as time, energy, learning, trial and error, etc.
More importantly, it doesn’t always succeed!
Most talisman masters can make a living with a success rate of more than 30%.
An excellent talisman master can achieve an 80% success rate, which is already very impressive!
This is just the opinion of Jiang Lan, a first-level high-grade talisman master.
Not including more advanced talisman masters.
Therefore, most transmission talismans can only be used in emergencies, and people generally use flying pigeons to pass messages.
Bird spirit beasts are very popular in this world!
Xiaofeng and Xiaohuang are still growing. After a year or two, their flying speed will increase, and they will be able to take over the task of transmitting messages!
“It’s a pity that the successor of Xiaoyao Sect is gone!”
There are even very few inheritances of first-level high-grade talismans...
"It's time for me to shift my focus to alchemy. This is the inheritance of the Xiaoyao Sect."
"Go buy some Qi Gathering Pill ingredients today!"
Jiang Lan did what he thought of. After finishing the morning's affairs, he went out and bought 50 copies, spending 1,500 contributions.
The price of medicinal materials is increasing recently!
Originally it was a 30 contribution, and there was a discount for buying Danfeng.
Now it has increased to 35 contributions.
Fortunately, Jiang Lan has an acquaintance in Lingzhi Peak, and among the small group, there is a sect member who is the same as Jiang Lan back then!
Over the years, some medicinal materials were left over, so they were given to Jiang Lan at a cheap price.
Jiang Lan promised to treat him to a nice meal then...
"Is it because I bought the cave? No, it won't be so fast!"
Jiang Lan had just bought the cave, and even if calculated according to the original time, it would not be the time for Jiang Lan to harvest, and it had nothing to do with Jiang Lan.
"Wait! Could it be the 'Soul-eating Insect'?"
Jiang Lan thought about helping Senior Brother Xu deal with the "soul-eating insects" in the elixir garden.
"Even the experienced Senior Brother Xu was so angry that he cursed a lot. I guess this 'insect plague' is quite serious!"
"Fortunately, I have a system..."
Jiang Lan returned to the cave all the way and called Han Gongxian...
Han Gongxian began to study alchemy a few years ago.
Now it can be regarded as some achievements. Although the specific grade is unknown, the Qi Gathering Pill is still no problem.
In the past six months, the two often discussed and studied together.
The elixir refining method proposed by Jiang Lan also aroused Han Gongxian's interest.
After all, if you want to make an elixir, you need "fire"!
Ordinary flames cannot completely burn out the impurities.
If the impurities are not removed, the success rate of condensation will be greatly reduced!
Therefore, spiritual fire and earth fire are needed, which are higher temperature and more spiritual flames.
The Xiaoyao Sect naturally has such a place, right at Danfeng.
There are said to be 18 first-level earth fire alchemy rooms and 9 second-level alchemy rooms.
Unfortunately, people who are not from Danfeng have no right to use it. This is also to prevent someone from damaging these places.
If people who don't know anything or are half-hearted try to make alchemy, it's very easy to explode the furnace. If they accidentally damage the formations, earth veins, etc., the losses will be huge!
This is one of the reasons why so many people want to squeeze into Danfeng.
There are very few people like Han Gongxian who don't want to go to Dan Peak and want to practice alchemy.
At the same time, the cost is also very high. First, you have to prepare the "Fire Control Array" yourself. Each time you make an elixir, you need to spend spiritual stones to activate it...
Jiang Lan's elixir refining method circumvented these problems, but it also cost a lot in the early research period.
He and Han Gongxian came to the lounge in the attic. It was empty and the surrounding building materials were specially made and reinforced.
Safe, secluded and undisturbed...
"Xiaolan, this is my modified proportion formula, you can try it."
"OK."
Jiang Lan took it and read it carefully.
Compared with orthodox alchemy, the elixir does not have the essence of spiritual fire extraction, and the medicinal properties it contains will be more complex, so the proportions are very important.
The purpose is to neutralize the excess medicinal properties.
Jiang Lan took out the materials and sorted them into categories.
Slice it, grind it into powder, and put it into different small dishes.
"Why is it like seasoning..."
This is a more formal refining, and a "recording stone" is prepared next to it.
Leave it for later observation, rectification, optimization steps, etc. with Han Gongxian.
Weigh the powder, remove more and add less.
Everything is ready, and then add water.
This time, no ordinary water source is used, but the spiritual rain condensed by the spiritual rain technique is chosen.
There are naturally many spiritual liquids and spiritual waters in this world.
To put it bluntly, this spiritual rain is the condensation of water spirit energy, which is purer and contains spiritual energy. It is the lowest grade spiritual water.
Take out the measuring cup that has been prepared long ago.
Anyway, Jiang Lan also established the elixir from scratch, so it is natural to establish the measurement unit.
So he used the measurement units in his previous life, after all, he was familiar with it.
Take out the container and add the medicinal materials and spiritual water at once.
Take out the small stone pestle and grind it finely until it is slightly viscous.
Although this step seems simple, there are many factors involved.
For example, what time to add what medicinal materials, how much, how long to grind, the color of the elixir, etc., all need to be considered and observed!
It can only be said that it is not simple compared to alchemy!
"Next, it is to filter out impurities!"
Jiang Lan took out a strange funnel-like object.
This is a special filter.
The filter element uses... "cleaning talisman"!
The inconspicuous, first-level inferior "cleaning talisman" and "cleaning technique" are both talismans and spells that are common in the world of immortal cultivation.
But its convenience and magical degree are thought-provoking...
How does it determine which are stains and which are dirty things?
Why doesn't it also identify the material of the clothes as stains and clean them together?
After verification, it was found that the immortal cultivators used these small spells very smoothly, but when asked about the specific principles, they didn't know anything, or they just said, "The senior said, no problem!"
"Then can I use it to 'clean' impurities?"
I did it as soon as I thought of it. After searching for information, I found many cases of modifying the "cleaning technique".
There is the "removal technique" for clear marking...
Including the "purification talisman" was invented for this reason.
"I was wondering, why are the runes of the two talismans so similar!"
What's more, a spiritual chef invented the "hair removal talisman" for convenience...
Jiang Lan sighed: "Sure enough, 'laziness' is the first productive force!"
"Since it can remove hair, why can't it remove impurities?"
Finally, the special filter was born!
