Chapter 29 Results
Li Qianqing took out the alchemy furnace, placed the corresponding spiritual medicine, and began to refine the first-level medium-grade Qi-replenishing pill.
Two years ago, the family had replaced him with a better alchemy furnace.
The current alchemy furnace is a medium-grade magic weapon.
As the family's alchemist, he never had to worry about the alchemy furnace used for refining. When the alchemy skills were similar, the family would prepare a better one for him, which was also one of the family's training.
What's more, he was an alchemist with amazing talent in the eyes of the clan leader and others.
The remaining plants of white corn after harvesting are one of the commonly used fuel materials for refining first-level pills.
When Li Qianqing refined the pill, in addition to the white corn plants consumed by himself, he would also burn some extra ones. This was to cover up his refining situation of two portions per furnace.
It takes much more time to refine a first-level medium-grade pill than a first-level low-grade pill. One furnace a day is the limit for an alchemist in the Qi-refining period.
It normally takes two months for Li Qianqing to refine sixty portions of the spiritual medicine for refining the first-level medium-grade Qi-replenishing pill.
The family gave him the task of refining pills, more to increase his experience in refining pills quickly. If his talent was similar to that of ordinary alchemists, it would be good for Li Qianqing to be allocated 20 first-grade medium-grade Qi-replenishing pills.
Of course, due to his talent, it is definitely profitable for him to refine these pills, but not as much as Li Ditu did when he refined the first-grade medium-grade Qi-replenishing pills.
From day to dusk, Li Qianqing finished refining a furnace of first-grade medium-grade Qi-replenishing pills.
"Thirteen Qi-replenishing pills, a bit of a pity."
Refining two first-grade medium-grade Qi-replenishing pills together can save him time for the next month.
The next furnace of Qi-replenishing pills can only be refined tomorrow.
In the following time, Li Qianqing will simply recover the spiritual power he just consumed, and then start his daily practice.
After refining the first-grade medium-grade Qi-replenishing pills this time, he can continue to exchange for the first-grade medium-grade Qi-gathering pills for practice after the family's contribution points are issued.
The family's treasury was running low on first-grade mid-grade Qi-gathering pills. Li Qianqing didn't know if the family store had sold out all the first-grade mid-grade Qi-gathering pills. If they were sold out, the next time the family's treasury would be replenished would be three years later.
Two months later.
Li Qianqing brought the Qi-replenishing pills he had refined to find Li Ditu.
During the period of refining the first-grade mid-grade Qi-replenishing pills, Li Qianqing also came to find the second grandfather to ask him to answer some of the difficulties in refining the Qi-replenishing pills. The previous questions were fine, but the last question stumped Li Ditu, who had already involved something he didn't know.
In this case, Li Qianqing discussed the difficulties of refining with him instead of learning and teaching one by one.
"Second grandfather, I have refined all sixty Qi-replenishing pills."
"How many did you refine?" Li Ditu asked immediately.
They had communicated before, and he knew that Li Qianqing would refine a lot of first-grade mid-grade Qi-replenishing pills this time.
In the second half of the refining, Li Qianqing must be more comfortable.
"There are 321 pills in total. Please have a look, Second Grandfather." Li Qianqing took out a storage bag and handed it to Li Ditu.
This storage bag previously contained the spiritual medicine for refining Qi-boosting pills, and now all that is left in it are Qi-boosting pills.
"Very good!" Li Ditu was so satisfied. He thought that Li Qianqing might refine more than 310 first-grade middle-grade Qi-boosting pills this time, but he had not thought that the number would be even higher, more than 320 pills. "With an average success rate of more than 70%, Qianqing's success rate of Qi-boosting pills in the past three furnaces should be close to 90%."
The talented alchemist not only has a good success rate at the beginning of refining, but also has an amazing growth rate.
"Almost." Li Qianqing replied.
"Originally, I thought that after refining 60 furnaces of Qi-boosting pills, your success rate would reach 80%."
"Thanks to Second Grandfather for helping me break through that refining difficulty half a month ago." Li Qianqing gave the reason.
Li Di Tu nodded, "I originally thought that it would be difficult to improve my success rate in refining first-grade middle-grade Qi-replenishing pills, thanks to you."
Li Di Tu knew very well that he mainly relied on Li Qianqing, and he was at most a supporting role.
"It's a pity that it didn't reach 330 pills, otherwise you could get 5,000 family contribution points."
"Second Grandfather, I am already very satisfied. I can refine 321 Qi-replenishing pills, which is more than I estimated at the beginning."
"Hahaha, it's me who is a little greedy." Li Di Tu smiled and stroked his beard.
Compared with Li Qianqing's refining results, he, an experienced alchemist who has refined hundreds of furnaces of first-grade middle-grade Qi-replenishing pills, naturally harvested more Qi-replenishing pills.
Like Li Qianqing, he also refined 60 first-grade middle-grade Qi-replenishing pills this time.
He refined 67 more first-grade middle-grade Qi-replenishing pills than Li Qianqing, a total of 388 pills.
At the beginning, Li Ditu succeeded in refining six or fewer first-grade middle-grade Qi-boosting pills per furnace. Later, after he and Li Qianqing overcame a difficult point in refining, his success rate in refining first-grade middle-grade Qi-boosting pills became more than seven and less than six.
If Li Qianqing continues to grow, the family will definitely be entrusted with the important task of refining first-grade top-grade pills in the future.
If Li Ditu performs well in refining the three types of first-grade middle-grade pills, it is possible to achieve a 100% success rate. After all, at the age of 70, he has already refined many first-grade middle-grade pills, and his talent for refining pills is not bad, but the situation is different when refining first-grade top-grade pills.
The main spiritual medicines used to refine first-grade top-grade elixirs are all of first-grade top-grade level.
Compared with first-grade middle-grade spiritual medicines, first-grade top-grade spiritual medicines take longer to grow, and the number of elixir furnaces that can be refined in the same amount of time is much less, and it is definitely more difficult to refine.
The main spiritual medicine for refining first-grade middle-grade Qi-replenishing pills, the three-leaf star flower, has a maximum growth period of twelve years, and the medicinal power reaches its peak between eleven and a half and twelve years. Therefore, the Li family refines first-grade middle-grade Qi-replenishing pills every eleven and a half years.
The maximum growth period of first-grade top-grade spiritual medicines is at least twenty years, and most first-grade top-grade spiritual medicines need to be cultivated for more than twenty-five years before they can be used to refine pills.
With Li Qianqing's talent for alchemy, the next time the Li family's first-grade top-grade elixirs are all handed over to him for refining, maybe the final number of successes will be better than that of Li Di Tu.
Of course, this is just Li Di Tu's idea, and the specific distribution depends on the time.
If we only consider a single factor in the experience of training an alchemist, then naturally the more pills he can refine, the better. However, the situation will be different if multiple factors are combined.
Time is precious to every cultivator, and refining pills takes time, especially for higher-level pills.
In addition to refining pills, Li Qianqing must have enough time to practice.
Compared with alchemists in the Qi Refining stage, alchemists in the Foundation Establishment stage have a more far-reaching impact on the current Li family.
Therefore, the Li family does not care about Li Qianqing hiring Li Xingxin to take care of him.
According to the rules of the Li family, Li Qianqing will not be reassigned until he reaches the late Qi Refining stage, and then he will no longer have to take care of the spiritual field.
