Chapter 115: The conditions of the abbot

Wan Hongan nodded, and after a pause, he said, "To be honest with Master Qin, my condition and request are actually related. I would like to ask Master Qin to try to refine this first."

Wan Hongan kept referring to himself as 'Master', and he seemed to have great respect for Lu Li or the profession of the alchemist.

As he spoke, he took out a pill recipe from his bosom and handed it to Lu Li.

Lu Li took it and looked at it. The recipe was very simple. It only wrote the order of refining the three ingredients of "Buddha Heart Fruit, Cold Jade Marrow, and Five Spirit Leaves". Apart from that, there was not even a name for the finished pill.

He asked suspiciously, "May I ask Master, what kind of pill is this? Why doesn't it even have a name?"

Wan Hongan smiled and said, "Well, actually, I don't know what kind of pill it is. If the master can refine it successfully, it will be considered that my condition has been fulfilled. As for the request... it's not too late to tell me after you succeed in refining it."

"Is this pill difficult to refine?" Lu Li asked with a frown.

Wan Hongan shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be difficult. Two masters have already succeeded in refining it."

Lu Li heard that someone had succeeded in refining it, which was enough to prove that there was no problem with this pill recipe. After a little hesitation, he agreed, "In that case, I will try it, but what about the materials above?"

It's okay to refine pills, but it's absolutely impossible for him to provide materials. Not to mention that he only has one of the Buddha Heart Fruits now, even if he has all of them, he can't easily give them away.

Wan Hongan laughed when he heard this, and took out three jade boxes and put them on the coffee table, "Master, don't worry, I will provide the materials. There are a total of five sets of materials here. As long as the master successfully refines one pill, it will be considered passed."

Five sets of materials are the amount of refining five pills.

Lu Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, which means there are a total of five Buddha Heart Fruits in it? If he succeeds in refining pills at once, wouldn't he earn four pills for free?

He was just worrying about the fact that he only had 30 Buddha Heart Fruits on him, but he didn't expect to encounter such a good thing. He immediately put away the three jade boxes, smiled and said, "In this case, let's start."

"Okay!" Wan Hongan admired Lu Li's decisiveness. From this point of view, the other party should not be the kind of person who cheats and deceives. He rubbed his hands excitedly and stood up, "Master, follow me, I will take you to the Dan Building."

The Dan Building is located on the right side of the meeting hall. It is a single-story building. There is a long passage inside the main door. There are many stone chambers on both sides of the passage, which are the places for alchemy.

Following Wan Hongan all the way to the door of the first stone chamber on the right side of the passage, Wan Hongan stopped and pressed the switch on the door. The thick stone door suddenly rose up with a rumble.

Then he smiled and said to Lu Li, "Master Qin, how about refining here?"

The layout inside is very simple. In addition to a Dan platform, there is only a long stone table and a futon. Of course... there is also a large jade plate next to the Dan platform for holding spiritual medicine, which is the most basic configuration.

The Qi training stage is low and the pill fire cannot be used. If you reach the Golden Pill level, you don't need to be so troublesome and can directly use the pill fire to refine the pill.

Lu Li said "hmm" lightly, indicating that it was okay, and then walked in and lowered the stone door in front of Wan Hongan.

Wan Hongan was not dissatisfied with this. He knew that alchemists had their own secrets and it was impossible for him to watch them refine the pills. Besides, no one knew his pill formula except the two old alchemists.

The whereabouts of the two old alchemists were under his control, and they had never leaked their pill formulas, so he was not worried that Lu Li would cheat with the pills that had been refined in advance.

In the No. 1 alchemy room.

Lu Li first released his spiritual sense to look around and found that there were thick stone walls all around, and there seemed to be restrictions on the walls to isolate the spiritual sense from detection. Only then did he sit cross-legged in front of the alchemy platform about a foot high with peace of mind.

He took out his own alchemy furnace and placed it on the alchemy platform.

Then he gently turned the switch of the underground fire and tested the intensity of the underground fire. He found that the underground fire here was more intense than that of Qingliang Mountain. He repeated the test many times until he could fully control the temperature corresponding to the amplitude of the knob twisting. Then he stopped.

In addition to the success rate of the pill recipe itself, the temperature is the biggest factor affecting the success of the pill, and he cannot be careless.

The success rate of the pill recipe mentioned here mainly refers to the fact that some pill recipes have not been tested enough times in the process of forming the pill recipe. Although the owner of the pill recipe has succeeded in refining it by chance, it cannot guarantee that the spiritual medicine recorded on the pill recipe is the best match.

Therefore, the pill recipe is also divided into grades.

A pill recipe with a success rate of 10% after more than a thousand tests can be called a primary pill recipe.

A pill recipe with a success rate of 30% after more than a thousand tests can be called an intermediate pill recipe.

..., a pill recipe with a success rate of 60% can be called an advanced pill recipe.

..., a pill recipe with a success rate of 90% can be called a top-level pill recipe.

The pill recipes that can be graded have been verified by the Alchemy Guild and stamped with a spiritual seal.

Of course, this is the standard of the Alchemy Guild. Some independent cultivators or alchemists from sects have not joined the Alchemy Guild, and do not want the recipes they have worked hard to test to be collected by the Alchemy Guild, so many recipes are not stamped with spiritual seals.

Lu Li did not know the grade of this recipe, but in his opinion, as long as the pill has been made, there is hope. As long as he is careful when refining, the probability of success is still quite high.

The Buddha Heart Fruit was first refined. Considering that it will also need to be refined in the future to refine the Yangmai Pill, he was much more careful when refining it, and tried his best to test the best refining temperature of the Buddha Heart Fruit.

About half a quarter of an hour.

The surface of the orange Buddha Heart Fruit finally began to overflow with a faint yellow spiritual liquid, which gathered towards the bottom of the pill furnace.

Outside the alchemy room.

Wan Hongan walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking more nervous than Lu Li who was refining the pill.

"Master Fangzhu, what are you...?"

Suddenly, a slightly old and surprised voice sounded at the door outside the passage, and an old man in a green robe walked in slowly. It was Jia Tong, one of the two alchemists who left before.

Jia Tong, like another alchemist Li Xiuyun, passed by Jinyang Market by chance. He also heard that the Fangzhu Mansion was looking for alchemists with generous rewards, so he came here to try his luck.

Most alchemists would not go out to find spiritual medicines by themselves, but only rely on the pills they made to exchange. If the alchemist has a high success rate, he will naturally make a lot of money, but like him, he may even lose money.

So when he heard that there was a large amount of Condensation Pills to earn, he came here without hesitation.

However, he didn't know until here that Wan Hongan actually needed five alchemists to take them to that mysterious place to make alchemy, which made him want to leave.

He came to the alchemy building at this time to refine all the medicinal materials on his body, and then say goodbye and leave.

After all, it is not easy to find a place with underground fire when you are away from home.

Wan Hongan saw Jia Tong coming, and restrained the anxiety on his face, smiled and bowed, saying: "It turned out to be Master Jia, a master just came and is refining the alchemy inside, I have nothing to do, I am waiting here..."

"Oh?" Jia Tong's face was also happy when he heard it, "Another person came, then I really have to congratulate the master."

"Haha, congratulations."

Seeing this, Jia Tong was no longer in a hurry to make the alchemy, and chatted with Wan Hongan at the door. He also wanted to see the master that Wan Hongan mentioned.
