Chapter 180 The bottleneck of alchemy

Chapter 180 The bottleneck of alchemy

Time always passes inadvertently, and there are four reincarnations of sunrise and sunset. During these four days, Liu Yu tried his best to ripen the Guiyuan flower and other spiritual herbs for refining Qingyuan Dan.

Through the ripening of the black spiritual field in the Immortal Mansion World, it cost about 1,500 spiritual stones and obtained a total of fifty spiritual herbs needed to refine the Qing Yuan Dan.

Four days later, Liu Yu sat cross-legged in the alchemy room with her eyes closed, with the Xuanhuang Cauldron placed not far in front of her.

Gathering energy and concentration, holding Yuan Shouyi, and after adjusting his body and spirit to a better state, he suddenly opened his eyes.

With a wave of his hand, the foundation-building true fire appeared and quickly fell to the bottom of the black and yellow cauldron, starting to preheat the cauldron.

After less than a quarter of an hour, the preheating was completed. Liu Yu controlled the first auxiliary medicine to enter the cauldron, removing its dross and extracting its essence.

Ignite, preheat, extract essence, fuse essence, condense elixir, and open the furnace.

The process of alchemy is generally divided into these six steps. Generally speaking, the first three steps are roughly the same and there will be no major changes.

However, due to different formulas and different amounts of elixirs, different elixirs will have very different properties and completely different changes. There will be great differences in the essence of the elixirs, the method of condensing the elixirs, and the opening time.

Therefore, the last three steps most test the alchemist's accomplishments and experience. Without refining experience, even a highly experienced and accomplished alchemy master will not be able to successfully refine a new elixir for the first time.

Liu Yu's alchemy level has not improved for a long time since the success rate of refining Jingyuan Dan reached 35%. This is partly because he did not have a good teacher and relied almost entirely on his own experience.

This is also a helpless move. In just twenty years, the progress from refining the Spirit Gathering Pill in the early stage of Qi Refining to the Jing Yuan Pill and Qing Yuan Pill in the early stage of foundation building is really shocking. It is simply a rare sight in hundreds of years. Only geniuses have this amazing talent.

But only Liu Yu himself knows that this is entirely due to the experience gained through a lot of practice. The elixirs and elixirs wasted in refining elixirs over the years are estimated to be hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones when converted into spirit stones. , with so many spiritual stones, even magic weapons, I can probably buy one or two.

This also made him dare not reveal his true alchemy level to others. Even Jiang Qiushui did not know that Jingyuan Dan had never been sold in the Jade Pill Hall. The few bottles of Jingyuan Dan last time were inferior. , Liu Yu thought about it but still kept it in the storage bag without releasing it.

The alchemy technique is also one of the reasons why Liu Yu's alchemy skills have stagnated. He is still using basic alchemy techniques and can no longer keep up with the increasingly complex alchemy process, which has greatly affected the success rate of alchemy.

Liu Yu attaches great importance to this. Although the Immortal Mansion can ripen the spiritual grass, it cannot be wasted at will. What should be done if there are raw materials in future pill recipes that cannot be ripened by the Immortal Mansion?

He had already told Jiang Qiushui to pay attention to this information, and he had also made inquiries among the major shops in Fang City, but there had been no progress.

Each alchemist has his own unique alchemy technique, which he often reserves when teaching apprentices. Generally, he will only pass it on to his direct descendants or direct disciples. Unless something unexpected happens, the alchemist has no shortage of spiritual stones and can easily Will sell his own alchemy techniques.

"We must find a better method of alchemy."

From time to time, Liu Yu used spells on her hands to control the fusion of medicinal properties, and this thought flashed through her mind.

As the level of elixirs increases, basic alchemy techniques have gradually failed to keep up with the pace, and have even begun to lag behind, becoming an urgent problem that needs to be solved.

Every time Qing Yuan Dan is refined, it takes two hours, regardless of success or failure.

Liu Yu compressed the time for studying the secrets of the skills and spent eight hours a day refining four furnaces of Qingyuan Dan, one hour summarizing the experience of alchemy, and the remaining time maintaining daily cultivation progress and practicing spells and instruments.

After thirteen days without sleep, the fifty portions of spiritual grass for refining the Qing Yuan Dan were finally used up, and two elixirs were successfully refined, each with eight pills.

But what was refined in that furnace was all inferior elixirs, containing ten times more erysipelas than normal elixirs, so Liu Yu would naturally not take them.

The Qingyuan Pill is about twice as powerful as the Jingyuan Pill, which can save more time in practice. It is worth about one thousand, two or three hundred spirit stones per bottle.

Spending 1,500 spirit stones to get 50 pieces of spiritual grass through ripening in the Immortal Mansion, he successfully refined a furnace of Qingyuan Dan, which is worth about 1,000 spirit stones. He only lost 500 spirit stones. This price is completely acceptable to Liu Yu. Accept it, I believe that once you become familiar with the refining of Qing Yuan Dan, you will be able to make your money back soon.

There are three reasons why the success rate of alchemy is so low. One is that it is not familiar to refine Qing Yuan Dan for the first time, the other is that refining Qing Yuan Dan is more difficult, and the third is that the alchemy technique is a hindrance.

Liu Yu cleaned the Xuanhuang Cauldron, then went to the practice room in addition to the alchemy room, and sat cross-legged on the futon.

Pour out a Qing Yuan Dan from the jade bottle and swallow it. The medicine takes effect quickly after entering the stomach, turning into wisps of hot medicinal power. Different from the mild medicinal power of Jing Yuan Dan, this medicinal power is both pure and powerful. It is an active and somewhat uncontrollable trend. If allowed to continue, it is likely to damage the meridians and Dantian.

Liu Yu was highly concentrated, and the fourth level of Qingyang Gong in his body was operating at full strength to suppress and refine the medicinal power.

The mana continues to carry the hot medicinal power through the great circulation, turning it into pure spiritual energy, which is then slowly absorbed and transformed into mana.

After the four great cycles of heaven and earth are completed and the impurities in them are tempered, the new mana leads to the dantian, passes through the Qingyang Demonic Fire above the lake, and finally merges into the lake of mana.

When the new mana passes through the Qingyang Demonic Fire, some impurities will be burned into black smoke and eliminated from the body. While it is more pure, the amount of mana will be reduced by about half.

Three hours later, with a mouthful of turbid air containing impurities being exhaled, Liu Yu finished her exercise and opened her eyes, with a hint of joy flashing across her face.

Qing Yuan Dan is indeed an ancient prescription, and its medicinal power is more than twice as powerful as Jing Yuan Dan. It is indeed worthwhile for me to spend so much energy collecting spiritual herbs.

With the help of this pill, his cultivation speed will be greatly accelerated, and the time to reach the peak of the early stage of foundation building will be further shortened. Liu Yu estimated that if he takes the Qingyuan Pill every day, it will take about ten years. You can reach the initial peak.

In one adventure, I collected forty or fifty kinds of rare elixirs. Not only did I collect the Qing Yuan Dan, but I also almost collected all the Yang Yuan Dan that I took during the middle stage of foundation building. I believe that during the period of cultivation to the peak of the early stage of foundation building, I should be able to collect them all.

"Wealth and honor are found in danger, fortune is obtained in danger, and the ancients will never deceive me."

Liu Yu felt emotional that the pills used for practicing in the early and middle stages of foundation building were all available. As long as he did not encounter bottlenecks, he could practice smoothly to the late stage of foundation building. It was a smooth road.
