Chapter 501 The difficulty of refining the third-level elixir, the maturity of the Nine-bend Yellow

After returning to the cave, Xu Feng took out the elixir he had just taken from the sect's treasure house and used it to refine the 'Shi'er Pill'. Then he put aside all distracting thoughts and began to refine the pill without any distractions.

The third-level elixir was no better than the second-level elixir, and the difficulty of refining it suddenly increased. The first ten raw materials, due to his various mistakes, quickly turned into lumps of black waste.

"This is too difficult. There are only thirty parts of the raw materials prepared. Before anything can be done, one-third has been consumed. I want to use the remaining twenty parts of the materials to successfully refine 'Shie Dan' Not much hope!

No, you can't just do it recklessly. You have to take your time next time. You can't continue refining immediately after failing once. You have to reflect on the mistakes you made last time to avoid making them again next time. "

After Xu Feng cleared the slag from the tenth failed attempt to refine the elixir from the elixir furnace, he sat next to the elixir furnace and thought to himself.

When he was refining the elixir before, he basically didn't reflect on any mistakes. He just refined the elixir according to the recipe again and again until the elixir was successfully refined.

The reason why this method was effective at that time was that he used a large amount of alchemy raw materials to pile up. If one part didn't work, I would use ten parts. If ten parts didn't work, I would use a hundred parts, right?

Anyway, the price of first- and second-level elixirs is not expensive, and he has no shortage of spiritual stones, so he has always adopted this wealthy model to refine elixirs.

But things are different now. Most of the elixirs needed to refine third-level elixirs are of the third level. Not only are these elixirs expensive, but most importantly, they are scarce in quantity. Sometimes you don’t have anywhere to buy them even if you have the spirit stones. .

Take the 'Shi E Dan' he is currently refining as an example. Originally, he planned to exchange his contribution points for fifty copies of the raw materials, but after arriving at the sect's treasure house, he was told by the deputy head that there were only thirty copies at most. There simply aren't that many third-level elixirs in storage.

Under this situation, he could only change his past practices and strive to use fewer elixirs to successfully refine the elixir.

In this way, he began to refine alchemy while summing up his experience, and then continued the cycle of alchemy.

Of course, when he was not refining elixirs, he did not forget to take the time to visit outside Pojing Peak. Sometimes he would call Meng Ruoyun out to ask about Shang Ruoyan's situation.

Time passed quickly like this inadvertently, and in the blink of an eye, four full years had passed since he went into seclusion to refine the third-level elixir.

"Huh, none of the thirty raw materials last time was successful. The five newly exchanged elixirs this time only have the last two left. I will succeed no matter what."

With his eyes resolutely scanning the elixirs in front of him one by one, Xu Feng cheered himself up, then grabbed a third-level elixir with his hand and threw it into the red pill furnace that had been burned by the ground fire.

One, one, and one elixir was refined at high temperatures, the essence separated from it, and finally condensed into a large ball of medicinal liquid.

Xu Feng controlled his spiritual consciousness and divided this large group of green fluorescent liquid into ten parts very accurately.

As time went by, these ten fist-sized lumps of liquid medicine became more and more viscous under the fierce burning of the earth fire, and the impurities inside were slowly stripped away.

At this time, Xu Feng, who was standing next to the alchemy furnace, had veins popping out in his temples. His hands were quickly grasping the complex and complicated magic formula. His eyes were fixed on the alchemy furnace, and his consciousness was always paying attention to the situation of the elixir that was about to be formed.

"Now, Ning!"

As he shouted loudly, the volume of the ten semi-solid medicinal liquids in the alchemy furnace instantly shrank, becoming as big as a thumb.

But it was a pity that at the moment when the ten pills were taking shape, seven of them suddenly made a slight sound inside, and then the surface began to be covered with cracks, and finally they were burned to black ash by the high temperature.

With a nervous mood, Xu Feng opened the alchemy furnace. When he saw the three bead-like elixirs lying at the bottom of the furnace, shining with charming light in three colors, he was completely relieved.

The corners of his mouth were raised with joy after success. He waved his hand to extinguish the ground fire, and then wrapped the three pills floating in the pill furnace with magic power and dropped them into the palm of his hand.

"After working hard for several years, I finally refined the third-level elixir, and all of it is of mid-grade quality. The hard work over the past few years has paid off. Next time I refine this elixir, my success rate should be very high. Improve quickly!”

In order to test this idea, after he meditated to recover his mana, he immediately took the last material and started testing it.

The result was not what he expected. Not only was the alchemy successful, but he finally got six finished elixirs, each of which was of middle grade and none of which was low grade.

Putting the first batch of third-level elixirs refined in his life into an exquisite high-end elixir bottle and putting them into a storage bag, he dodged and entered the spiritual plant space.

As usual, I went to the hut to rest for a while, and then came to the spiritual field.

His consciousness swept over the spiritual fields one by one, and after carefully observing the growth of the elixir, he set his sights on a second-level spiritual field that looked different from other spiritual fields.

What is grown here is Jiuquhuangzhicao, the rarest main medicine for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"The last Jiuqu Huangzhicao matured two years ago. Among the three hundred plants, only three successfully evolved into the second-level elixir, and the others all died.

I don’t know how much I will harvest from the 300 plants planted this time. It would be nice if there were a few more plants, but three is still a bit too few. "

Xu Feng thought as he moved his feet and came to the second-level spiritual field. He looked down and saw that the three hundred spiritual herbs were growing well and had strong vitality.

"It seems that we came a little early. These nine-bend yellow grasses have not yet grown to the critical point of two hundred years, but I think it will be soon."

Then, as if to echo what he said, the three hundred spiritual herbs began to mutate and all swayed left and right.

In the end, 297 of them withered quickly and were swallowed by the spiritual field. Only three second-level nine-bend yellow grasses that were several times taller and successfully broke through were left, swaying their bodies, as if celebrating their new life.

"If it was just like last time, it could be explained by coincidence, but it's the same this time, which means that the maturity ratio is fixed, that is, one hundred to one, which means that I can get three Nine-bend Yellow Ganoderma every two years to refine the foundation-building pill.

With my current level of alchemy, one furnace of foundation-building pill can basically guarantee nine pills. In this way, the Xu family will have 27 more foundation-building pills every two years.

It can be said that it is more than enough, not to mention the current stage, even if the family scale expands in the future, it will definitely be enough."

After harvesting the three mature Nine-bend Yellow Ganoderma, he flashed and returned to the cave again.
