Chapter 9: Bigu Pill

"Stop it." Li Ditu did not let Li Qianqing continue, "You have learned to flatter people at a young age. How can I not guess your little thoughts?"

Li Ditu stood up and came to Li Qianqing's side.

"Are you interested in alchemy?"

Li Qianqing nodded, his eyes showing excitement.

In fact, Li Ditu didn't really want Li Qianqing to make elixirs, because his planting skills were very good, which could be seen from the harvest of white corn. It would be good to become a spiritual planter in the future, but the look in Li Qianqing's eyes made him change immediately. Thoughts.

I think he was like this back then, full of love for alchemy, and relying on his decent alchemy talent, he became the family's alchemist.

He thought that when Li Qianqing was refining alchemy, if Li Qianqing's alchemy talent was not as good as planting, Li Ditu would definitely not agree with him becoming an alchemist. As long as the difference is not too big, he will support Li Qianqing to continue making alchemy.

"Yes! Second Grandpa." Li Qianqing nodded vigorously.

"Then the question is, how much do you know about alchemy?"

"I read some of the most basic alchemy books when I was in Changqing Mountain." Li Qianqing answered truthfully.

"Okay, let me give you a simple test."

"Second Grandpa, please ask."

Li Ditu began a simple assessment of Li Qianqing.

The question-and-answer process was similar to what Li Ditu expected. Li Qianqing gave answers to his questions very easily without any pause.

This was completely within his expectation. How could the young man's sincere eyes be deceiving?

"Very good." Li Ditu nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that you have put a lot of effort into refining the alchemy."

While speaking, Li Ditu took out a blue-grey alchemy furnace and a yellowed book.

"This cauldron alchemy furnace is a low-grade magic weapon, very suitable for novices to make alchemy. Second Grandpa, I will temporarily lend you this alchemy furnace. If you have good alchemy talent, I will give this cauldron alchemy furnace to you."

Magical weapons are graded from low to high, from low to medium to high. They are also one of the main means of attack and defense for monks in the Qi Refining Period.

When Li Qianqing heard this, he quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Grandpa Second!"

"Don't thank me in time. Didn't you hear what I just said? This alchemy furnace is yours only if your talent for alchemy is good. If your talent is not good, I will take it back, and then you can honestly do it." Ling Zhifu, at least you have good talent in this area."

In Li Tuitu's view, there is no distinction between high and low in the various arts of cultivation. Every professional master is respected by others. You must know that white corn was not ripe once a year in the beginning, and the yield was not as impressive as it is now. A thousand pounds per acre is all the result of our ancestor Ling Zhifu.

"My fourth uncle taught me that no matter what I do, I must have confidence in myself, otherwise I will lose from the beginning."

"Well, it's more like what Si Wazi would say." Li Ditu agreed. He first handed the yellowed book to Li Qianqing, "This is some of my experience when refining elixirs when I was young. It should be helpful for newbies, you can take a look when you go back.”

Li Qianqing excitedly took the yellowed book and nodded repeatedly, and then accepted Li Ditu's alchemy furnace.

"Finally, this is one hundred kilograms of white corn. You can use ten kilograms to refine Bigu Pill. Come back to me when the white corn is used up."

"OK."

As the most basic elixir, Bigu Pill is the best choice for novices to refine elixirs.

Some basic alchemy books will have methods for refining Bigu Pills, which are also highly recommended by the authors of the books for novices to refine elixirs.

After Li Ditu recorded it again, he asked Li Qianqing to go back.

One hundred pounds of white corn was not given to Li Qianqing by Li Ditu, but was given by his family to test Li Qianqing's talent.

Li Tuitu is one of the elders of the family, and he must have some power.

Return to your residence.

Li Qianqing had to refine the low-grade magic weapon in the alchemy furnace before he could start refining Bigu Pill.

Bigu Pill is the most special elixir, because there is only one refining material for all Bigu Pills, and different levels of Bigu Pills use different spiritual rice.

Bigu elixirs refined from white corn are the most common, not even first-level low-grade elixirs.

Because white corn ripens once a year, the maximum number of years for the main material is one year, and the maximum number of years for the first-level low-grade elixir to refine the main material is more than two years.

The most special elixir has the most special refining process. There is no fusion of medicinal properties in the elixir liquid in the middle. The most important thing is to complete the compression step, and the intermediate process will basically not fail.

A small elixir contains huge energy, and the energy compression step is an essential step in refining the elixir.

Ten pounds of white corn can be used to refine the most common Bigu Pill.

For novices, it is best to refine Bigu Pills one by one. Although the efficiency is pitifully low, it can greatly reduce costs.

When a novice starts, the main thing is to control costs rather than pursue efficiency.

Naturally, Li Qianqing would not be able to actually refine a Bigu Pill, and he was not a novice.

One hundred pounds of white corn can be cooked in one furnace.

For an alchemist of Li Tuitu's level, it is best to use eighty kilograms of white corn in one furnace. This can be efficient for him in refining elixirs. The bigu pills that come out of the furnace are either eight or seven, and there are basically no six. situation.

"The alchemy furnace feels like it hasn't been used for a long time."

It has been more than three years since I was reborn. With my current level of life, I feel that it is still quite a long time.

Li Qianqing sighed briefly and began to refine the lower-grade magic tool alchemy furnace.

For a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining, it takes less than half a day to refine a lower-grade magic tool, and then he can use the magic tool skillfully.

He started to use the lower-grade magic tool alchemy furnace after refining it.

First, bring in the stems of the white corn plant outside, which is used to make fire.

He has the flame of grass and wood flame after practicing "The Art of Plant Flame". In fact, he can use grass and wood flame to refine pills directly without using the stems of white corn plants, but this consumes more spiritual power and requires him to control it with distraction, so it is best to use ready-made materials.

The alchemy furnace is on top and the stems of white corn plants are on the bottom.

After Li Qianqing hit a flame, the stems began to burn and the furnace temperature began to rise sharply.

When the time is right, he put a hundred kilograms of white corn into the alchemy furnace.

This lower-grade magic tool alchemy furnace can refine up to two hundred kilograms of white corn at a time.

The refining of the Bigu Pill is to let the novice alchemist master the steps of pill compression. This is the basis and the most important thing.

If the compression energy is not in place, the pill cannot be formed.

When the Bigu Pill is refined to one-third, it is necessary to start sealing the furnace to prevent energy leakage.

The energy leakage of white corn is relatively small. If some spiritual medicines are not careful at this step, the energy will leak out completely in a breath, and the pill will naturally fail to be refined.
