Chapter 143 Success

Time flies, and several months have passed.

On this day, Li Zhirui, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, suddenly opened his eyes, his face full of emotion, and said: "Shenhun's injury is finally healed!"

"Where did Xiaoqing go?" After walking out of the quiet room, he found that only the lazy Daqing was in the yard, and he couldn't help but ask.

grumble!

Daqing explained lazily, saying that Xiaoqing went out to play with the group of jade-billed eagles in the clan's land.

Although their attributes are different, they all belong to the Spirit Eagle clan. Although Xiao Qing was only born two years ago, his cultivation has reached the fourth level of Qi training due to Li Zhirui's efforts.

Coupled with the high-level bloodline suppression and Da Qing's pressure, Xiao Qing has become the leader of the group of jade-billed eagles, hanging out with the eagles all day long.

Li Zhirui ignored him. After all, it was good. Maybe Xiaoqing would leave his bloodline in the Jade-billed Eagle clan.

"Speaking of which, you are in your thirties or forties, you should be mature, right?" Li Zhirui touched his chin and said, "Would you like to help you find a wife?"

grumble!

Daqing refused without hesitation.

As for the reason...

"You actually dislike the water turtle being ugly?" Li Zhirui's mouth twitched. In his eyes, there was no difference between the two turtles except for the color of their shells.

But in Da Qing's eyes, the water turtle's light blue shell was extremely ugly and unsightly!

"Well, since you don't like it, forget it." Li Zhirui also thought that during this period, Daqing would have more contact with the water turtle, so that the relationship would fall in love over time, and eventually it would fall into place.

As a result, the plan was aborted before taking action. There was no way he could force Daqing to do that kind of thing, right?

Li Zhirui shook his head and walked towards the alchemy room without waiting for Xiaoqing to come back. After this period of understanding, he felt that he had completely understood the formula of the Foundation Establishment Pill!

And under the influence of a large number of spiritual stones, the ten foundation-building elixirs in his hand have now become fifty!

But the price was not small, almost all the hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones in his hand were consumed.

"With my current level of alchemy, I should be able to successfully refine a furnace of foundation-building pills before using up all fifty elixirs!" Li Zhirui murmured to himself.

As long as one furnace is successful, no matter how many foundation-building pills are refined, it is considered a success!

Li Zhirui solemnly took a bath and burned incense, and after praying, he used the Taiyi Sapphire Furnace, the second-level top-notch alchemy furnace!

The spiritual water in the alchemy furnace was taken from the spiritual lake in space. The spiritual energy contained in it was much richer than the ordinary second-level spiritual water. It was an excellent alchemy spiritual water. However, Li Zhirui didn't know what to call it and kept using the spiritual water. Water screamed.

After taking out the first foundation-building elixir, Li Zhirui's face became very serious. His hands were flying, and the light on his fingertips was like a butterfly passing through flowers, and he shot out a series of magic formulas.

The essence of the elixir was extracted by the magic formula, and under the control of Li Zhirui, it entered the sapphire furnace.

This step is the simplest, and because the Foundation Establishment Pill is precious and it is Li Zhirui's first time to refine it, he decided to only use the four basic methods of elixir refining, regardless of the efficacy, erysipelas, etc., and make sure to refine it first. Let’s talk about it after we get the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The refined essence was crystal clear and exuded a strong herbal fragrance, but Li Zhirui did not stop for a moment. The magic formula in his hand changed, and the masses of essence began to merge in an orderly manner.

The difficulty of alchemy also suddenly increases from here. He must use a large amount of spiritual consciousness to control the fusion timing of each elixir essence. If it is too slow or too fast, it will lead to the failure of the alchemy!

This is also the reason why Li Zhirui had to heal the wounds of his soul before starting to refine the elixir.

Fortunately, Li Zhirui simulated this step many times in his sea of ​​consciousness and successfully integrated all the essences.

But when it came to separating the essence pill, Li Zhirui was a little slow, so in the end only three small groups of essence were separated.

Li Zhirui had already anticipated this. Although there were not many types of elixirs for refining foundation-building elixirs, how could it be so easy to be given the title of being the most difficult to refine among the second-level elixirs?

You must know that when refining other elixirs, you may be able to allow the slightest difference, but for elixirs like the Foundation Establishment elixir that help monks break through the great realms, there must be no mistakes at all. You must strictly follow the instructions on the elixir. Steps to do it!

But this step is not included in the elixir recipe. Li Zhirui needs to figure it out by himself and verify it in the alchemy process.

And this is also a means of control by Shenleishan. He "generously" and "thoughtfully" gave out spiritual seeds and elixirs, as well as his experience in cultivating elixirs, but in fact he withheld the most critical hand.

As a result, no matter how talented an alchemist is in alchemy, it is impossible to refine a foundation-building pill using ten portions of elixir!

When the time comes, either continue to buy foundation-building elixirs, and the development of power will continue to be limited by people, or continue to work for Shenlei Mountain and exchange for new foundation-building elixirs.

Or else you have to wait decades for the home-grown elixir to mature.

The reason why it is said is decades, not hundreds of years.

That's because the age of the elixir does not refer to the year it was grown, but whether the aura it contains reaches a certain standard.

For example, a second-level elixir that originally took a hundred years to grow can grow in a shorter time because it is planted on a third-level spiritual vein with rich spiritual energy. It can absorb more spiritual energy every year.

The three second-level foundation-building elixirs of the Li family are all planted in the third-level spiritual acupoints. The spiritual energy is extremely rich and can probably shorten the maturation time by more than ten years.

Li Zhirui, who was in a calm state of mind, continued to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. He concentrated all his spiritual consciousness into these three essences. When he observed that they had been completely integrated inside, the magic formula in his hand changed instantly. Finally, A pill condensation technique was fired.

puff!

The fragrance of elixirs did not float out of the jade furnace, but there was a splitting sound of failure.

Li Zhirui put away the elixir in the elixir furnace with a calm expression. He never thought that he would refine the foundation-building elixir at once.

After all, those monks with extremely talented alchemy abilities couldn't succeed, so how could he possibly do it?

So his expectation for himself is to make fifty elixirs once

After recording the questions and thoughts that arose this time, Li Zhirui continued to take out the elixir and refine it.

Unfortunately, in a whole day, he spent more than 20 foundation-building elixirs and failed more than 20 times.

Although it cannot be said that there is no gain at all, Li Zhirui cannot guarantee that he can succeed with the remaining materials.

This is the most uncertain time in his alchemy career so far!

"Huh--" Even though Li Zhirui was mentally prepared to fail dozens of times, he still felt irritable in his heart. He recited the Qingxin Sutra silently several times before regaining his composure.

For the first time, Li Zhirui did not inhale spiritual energy at night. You must know that even when he was injured, he did not give up his daily practice!

He plunged into refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, pondering over various previous records, and took the trouble to look at the recording stone over and over again.

This state lasted until noon the next day. Li Zhirui took a short rest, recovered some of his mana and consciousness, and started refining elixirs again!

But there was still no change in the result. He threw the foundation-building elixir one by one into the jade furnace, and finally turned into a turbid elixir that could only be used to water the elixir.

"What's the problem?" Li Zhirui's current state is as if he has gone crazy. The inner demons are born little by little with his obsession, and the originally clear sea of ​​consciousness has become a little darker.

Roar!

The divine turtle occupying the big island in the center of the Sea of ​​Consciousness suddenly roared, stretched out its giant palm to crush the black spots, and at the same time awakened Li Zhirui.

"Ha!" Li Zhirui woke up and realized what he had just encountered, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

But seeing that there were only a few portions of the elixir left, his expression suddenly became relaxed!

Li Zhirui skillfully took out a portion of the elixir, extracted its essence, and put it into the jade furnace. The magic formula began to change, and the essence merged into one mass. Everything about dividing and condensing the elixir went very smoothly.

"Successful!" Li Zhirui looked at the two jade-white elixirs in the elixir furnace and shouted excitedly.

Although he was blinded by his obsession and almost attracted his inner demons, fortunately, in the process, he found the complete steps and successfully refined the Foundation Establishment Pill!

Li Zhirui used up the remaining three elixirs in one go. He failed once and got four foundation-building pills.

Including the two successful pills for the first time, he spent hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones to generate the elixir, and finally refined six foundation-building pills!

If they are all sold, Li Zhirui will not only recover all the costs, but also earn hundreds of thousands.

After thinking about it, he decided to hand over four Foundation Establishment Pills to the family, and naturally keep the remaining two Foundation Establishment Pills for himself.

This was regarded as the compensation given to him by the family, and he took out six Foundation Establishment Pills at one time, which was too many to explain to everyone.

"I successfully refined the Foundation Establishment Pill. From now on, no second-level elixir can trouble me!" Li Zhirui was very happy, but not just because he refined the Foundation Establishment Pill.

It's also because his alchemy level has improved a lot, and it seems that his threshold for reaching the middle stage of foundation building has also dropped a bit.

This small threshold is not a bottleneck, but it does take some time and energy to get over it. Now, as long as Li Zhirui accumulates enough spiritual energy, he can easily enter the middle stage of foundation building!

However, he is not in a hurry to break through now. Instead, he decides to refine his mana more, because when he breaks through the middle stage, he will take the barrier-breaking pill and break through again.

Two consecutive breakthroughs will cause the mana in his body to be very weak. He must lay a solid foundation first.

Anyway, Li Zhirui is still young and has plenty of time to do this boring thing.

anyway!

Li Zhirui had a good night's rest, tidied up his appearance the next day, and went straight to the main hall.

When he arrived, he discovered that today was the day of the family’s monthly meeting!

"Zhirui, why are you here?" Li Zhizhun, who was facing the door and was the first to notice him, asked with a strange look on his face.

Li Zhirui chuckled and said, "Just in time, while all the elders are here, I have some great news to announce!"

"Could it be..." Li Zhizhun's mind was racing, and he looked at Li Zhirui with surprise in his eyes.

The riddle between the two aroused the strong curiosity of the elders, especially the impatient elders, who were scratching their heads and eager to question the two.

"That's right! It's the one you were thinking of, brother!" Li Zhirui said loudly without further arousing people's appetite: "I successfully refined the Foundation Establishment Pill! And I even made four of them!"

These words were like cold water poured into a boiling pan of oil, instantly arousing a burst of exclamation.

The loudness of the sound made the nearby tribesmen look at it, wondering what happened, causing all the elders to lose their usual stability.
