Chapter 56: Alchemist Ding Xiu takes his place

The alchemy furnace is on fire, and the fragrance of medicine is filling the air.

Shen Lian was sitting cross-legged next to the alchemy furnace, observing the changes of the medicinal herbs in the alchemy furnace with his spiritual mind. After the medicinal herbs were smelted into powder by the fire, he immediately created a magic formula.

The quality of the elixir lies in the number of impurities removed during the refining process and the degree of integration of various herbs.

As time passed, the medicinal powder smelted together in the alchemy furnace began to slurry, emitting green and black spiritual light.

"Zizi——"

Shen Lian took advantage of this moment to cast spells one after another, and while controlling the heat of the furnace, he began to condense the elixir liquid and purify the concentration of the medicine.

The alchemy liquid is constantly changing in the alchemy furnace, and wisps of black gas emerge from the mouth of the furnace.

This process took half a day. A ball of blue-black medicinal liquid rolled in the furnace, and Shen Lian began the final process of condensing the elixir.

Under the shroud of spiritual thoughts, the elixir liquid was separated using a special elixir dividing method, and turned into twenty-one liquid balls of about the same size, which began to solidify.

"Come out."

When the pills were formed, Shen Lian put his spiritual power into the alchemy furnace and used the method of opening the alchemy cauldron. The lid of the alchemy furnace flew up with steaming hot aura.

In the alchemy furnace, the steam is steaming, the green light is strong, and the fragrance of the medicine is scattered everywhere.

He grabbed the pill furnace with his big hand, and twenty-one hot pill pills fell into Shen Lian's hands.

Looking at the crystal-colored pill in his hand, Shen Lian nodded.

"Fifteen are top grade and six are medium grade."

The quality of elixirs is roughly divided into four categories: low-quality, medium, high-quality, and Tao elixirs. There is also a level below low-quality elixirs of inferior quality.

Low-quality elixirs can be used, but the effect is different from normal-quality elixirs, and the erysipelas is stronger. Taking too much will affect the cause of immortality.

As for the Dao Dan, it is the elixir derived from the Dao pattern on the pill. It is similar to the spiritual forbidden spirit derived from the inside of the magic weapon. It is an external manifestation of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

The quantity and quality of an alchemist's furnace of elixirs are related to the quantity and grade of the herbs put into it.

During the refining process, the alchemist will distribute the proportion of each elixir according to the amount of elixir smelted.

In the process of dispensing, if more herbal essence is left in a certain portion of the medicinal solution, the quality of the resulting elixir will naturally be better, and vice versa.

The spirit-feeding pill that Shen refined is only a first-level mid-grade pill. He can directly refine it into a top-quality pill, which is quite explosive.

In addition to his inheritance of alchemy, his powerful spiritual thoughts also accounted for a lot of credit. It is not easy to divide the alchemy liquid and condense the elixir.

Of course, it is also possible that he was originally a genius in alchemy, but his attributes were hidden in the past.

Shen Lian was also very satisfied with being able to refine high-quality pills at once. As for pills of Taoist quality, they would be available in the future.

The price of the Spirit Feeding Pill is the same as that of the Huang Ya Pill, with the street price of five spirit stones per piece.

However, most of the products sold in the market are of low quality. There are only three low-quality pills in a bottle. The sellers are all conscientious.

Medicinal quality elixirs are rarely circulated among casual cultivators, and as for high-quality elixirs, there is no need to think about them.

In the eyes of the sect and family, being able to take low-quality elixirs is already considered a blessing for casual cultivators. There is nothing left to be dissatisfied about. I really think I can become an immortal.

The price of high-quality elixirs will be 20 to 30% more expensive, or even higher depending on market demand.

Most of them appear at auctions or in some large shops with a long history, and the trading partners are also owners who are not short of money.

And the price of some rare elixirs may increase several times.

Shen Lian did a simple calculation. If fifteen high-quality spiritual feeding pills were sold to a larger store, they should be sold for seven low-grade spiritual stones, and the medium-grade ones would be sold for five spiritual stones.

Twenty-one spiritual feeding pills, with a total price of one hundred and thirty-five spiritual stones.

It took half a day to refine the herbs for these spirit-feeding pills, which cost a total of thirty spirit stones.

At the same time, he can draw four to five first-level high-quality talismans.

Calculated in this way, refining a first-grade mid-grade elixir is more profitable than drawing a first-grade high-grade talisman.

"In the future, commonly used elixirs such as Huangya Dan, Huiyuan Dan, and Barrier-breaking Dan can be selected as shipment categories."

"These elixirs commonly used during the Qi training period are in high demand, and they are also essential elixirs for alchemists to refine."

"The quality of the shipment is temporarily set at mid-grade, and it will be mixed with low-grade products and sold together. The top-quality products will be sold based on the situation. They should not be too eye-catching."

Soon, Shen Lian had a clear plan in his mind.

The raw materials for elixirs that are widely circulated are also easy to obtain. Dozens of pills can be produced in one batch, which can be used in large quantities.

Of course, the high-quality ones are for my own use, so why don’t I take them out to show off on the market?

It's okay to have two pieces at a time. One piece at a time is too eye-catching.

As for other rare multi-purpose elixirs, it is relatively difficult to collect herbs.

Many monks in need collect medicinal herbs themselves and then ask alchemists to help.

When the alchemist opens the furnace, he needs to run the furnace. After the alchemy is completed, he will keep the excess materials and there will be additional alchemy fees. If the alchemy is ruined, there is no responsibility.

It is simply the best profession in the world of immortality.

As long as an alchemist has a good reputation, there will be an endless stream of people coming to ask for alchemy. It is like spiritual stones falling from the sky.

But Shen Lian didn't want to gain a good reputation for himself. He made alchemy to earn spiritual stones. He didn't make alchemy to improve his realm, and he didn't want to become the ancestor of alchemy.

…

"Come, let the eldest son try the spiritual elixir."

"Hiss——"

Dahei's mouth was opened, a spiritual feeding pill was forced in, and then Dahei's head shook with inertia.

In the past, Dahei had only taken Huangya Dan, and the effect was not bad. However, humans and monsters have different paths. The Spirit Feeding Pill, a pill specially developed for spirit beasts, is more suitable for spirit beasts to absorb and refine.

Sure enough, after the spirit-feeding pill entered his abdomen, Dahei's demonic aura quickly emerged from the gaps in his scales.

Shen Lian was not stingy either, and went on to open a furnace to refine several furnaces of spiritual elixirs.

The black-horned demon ants on the island were summoned in turn and stuffed with spiritual feeding pills one by one.

From now on, all his spiritual beasts will eat pills.

…

One month later.

"Come, try this newly refined barrier-breaking pill."

"Hiss——"

Looking at the green pill in Shen Lian's hand, Dahei grabbed the ground with his legs and retreated, hesitation flashed in his bulging black eyes.

Can't eat anymore.

I really can’t eat anymore.

Every mouth is filled with the taste of spiritual elixir.

The demonic aura emerging from the gaps between the scales was all the undigested spirit-feeding pills.

Dahei shivered and backed away, turning his head to look at the other black-horned demon ants beside him.

The other people of the same race nearby were just like it. During this period of time, they had enough pills, and they had to swallow the pill powder for everything they ate.

Of course, the effect of the medicine is remarkable, and the number of members of the same race who have been promoted to the middle stage of the first level has reached more than twenty.

"Why are you running? There are so many monsters out there who don't even know what pills taste like."

"The demon power in your body has already been condensed to the extreme. After taking the barrier-breaking pill, you will be a black-horned demon ant in the late stage of Qi training."

Seeing Dahei retreating, Shen Lian laughed and cursed.

In the past, he had opened up the supply of black-horned demon ants' training resources, but due to his bloodline, Dahei's advanced Qi training to the seventh level was still stuck.

Since one's own bloodline is unreliable, one can only rely on external forces.

"Come here and take the barrier-breaking pill."

Shen Lian reached out and was about to help Dahei take the elixir.

"...Lord...Master..."

At this time, a wave of spiritual thoughts suddenly popped out.

"Um."

Shen Lian was stunned for a moment and reacted immediately.

Dahei can talk!

"Hiss——"

Seeing the timidity in the big black eyes, Shen Lian suddenly became furious.

Is he so scary? He scared Yiwazi to the point where he spoke with his spiritual thoughts in advance.

The bloodline of black-horned demon ants is much different from that of ordinary birds and animals, and the corresponding improvement in intelligence is also more difficult.

Shen Lian is also planning to buy some spiritual objects during this period to help Dahei further unlock his spiritual wisdom.

It's good now, Dahei realized it in advance.

Still scared of him.

"……Owner…"

Seeing Dahei sitting there with his head down, Shen Lian grabbed him and gently patted his two big horns.

"Alas... Now that we have embarked on the path of immortality, there is no possibility of retreat..."

After comforting him for a while, Shen Lian stuffed the barrier-breaking pill into Dahei's mouth.

Dahei's spiritual intelligence is currently no more than that of a five or six-year-old child, and he doesn't have much idea about spiritual practice. He just muddles along every day.

And some descendants of great demons with bloodline inheritance will be enlightened from the moment they are born, and thus quickly embark on the path of cultivation.

Little demons like Dahei, who have almost no ancestral bloodline, either obtained the corresponding cultivation method by chance.

Or just try your luck and see if you can activate the dormant blood power in your body during the breakthrough process, and inherit the cultivation method from the blood source.

"Click——"

The huge medicinal power of the Barrier Breaking Pill entered the body, and Dahei cracked open again without any accident, and the rich demonic power was released.

Shen Lian's spiritual mind paid attention to Dahei's changes, crushed the elixir to treat the injury and applied it to Dahei's body.

The demonic energy emanating from Dahei's body is also mixed with the power of the spirit-feeding pill that has not been completely refined. It can be seen that Dahei's refining efficiency of the pill is not high.

Of course, Dahei cannot be blamed for this. Its bloodline and talent are innately destined. To break this restriction, you need to pay an unimaginable price.

If you put it on Dahei, it will break almost every time you break the level.

Every time it cracks, the flesh and blood of the demon body is equivalent to a baptism.

"Hiss——"

With Shen Lian helping from the side and using his spiritual thoughts to smooth out the impact of the medicine, the chaotic demonic power in Dahei gradually calmed down and began to operate in the body regularly.

The breath also broke from the sixth level of Qi training to the seventh level of Qi training.

However, the demonic aura in Dahei's body did not calm down. Instead, a mass of demonic blood-red emerged from his body, covering his entire head.

As soon as the blood-colored hazy aura appeared, the other black-horned demon ants in the cave suddenly trembled and crawled down in fear.
