Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 95 Refining Chalcedony Pill ([-]rd update)
Among the three alchemy chambers, the one in the middle is the largest.

The various facilities inside are also the most complete.

Just because, in this alchemy room, there is the most precious thing in the alchemy hall besides Luo Chen.

Xuanyun Cauldron, first-order mid-grade.

It is said that the price is also the most expensive among middle-grade magic weapons, even more expensive than some tasteless middle-grade defensive magic weapons.

At this moment, there is no outsider in the great alchemy room.

Even rice grains were blocked outside.

Luo Chen lit the fire by himself, turned on the furnace, and then continuously put pieces of medicinal materials that Mi Shuhua had prepared into the cauldron.

Common ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum are essential auxiliary materials.

Even Qi Yang Pill has this kind of supplementary materials, after all, it can provide the most basic vitality for monks.

In addition, there are some relatively valuable auxiliary materials such as blue mandarin grass and snow zhilan.They can play a very good auxiliary role to the main material, or stimulate the medicinal power of the main material, or inhibit some unwanted medicinal properties.

After these auxiliary materials entered the tripod, Luo Chen stared at Dan Ding with burning eyes.

The spiritual eye technique has already been blessed on the eyes.

Now, his spiritual eyesight is only one step away from the master.

When deployed, he has good eyesight, and he can see through the realm of a nine-level Qi Refining monk at a glance.

It is impossible for ordinary Qi-refining monks to spend too much effort on this kind of spell, and naturally their attainments cannot be compared with Luo Chen.

Occasionally, Luo Chen would also wonder, if he advanced to the master level of spiritual vision, would he be able to see through the disguise of a foundation-building monk?
"The medicinal power of the auxiliary materials has basically been released."

"It's time for the main material!"

Luo Chen took down a bamboo box from the shelf next to it.

Opening the bamboo box, a palm-sized cold jade glowed brightly.

Huanyu, the first-order spiritual jade, is abundant in rivers, lakes and seas, and is also produced in some places with relatively strong evil spirits.

This jade has many functions. It can be used to make jade boxes to seal some pills, and it can also be used to make water attribute jade slips.

The chalcedony in it can be used for body training.

It is said that this kind of jade is also very popular in the mortal world, either as a core building material for ice cellars, or as a large amount of jade to cast mausoleums.

In terms of price, it is a bit high.

A piece of Huanyu the size of a palm needs a Lingshi.

If you take it out, you can buy ten catties of Lingmi directly.

And the main material of the chalcedony pill is the chalcedony in this Huanyu.

It also directly accounts for one-fifth of the cost of a furnace.

According to Luo Chen's estimation, the raw material cost of a furnace of chalcedony pill is about five spirit stones.

Not expensive and not cheap.

It costs about the same as Zhongmiao Pills.

In fact, the cost of Zhongmiao Pills should not be so high. The main reason is that the main material inside is produced in the outer region of Beihai, so the cost is inflated.

At present, the cost of chalcedony pills is listed here, and Luo Chen is still not clear about the number of pills in one furnace.

But as long as you are higher than Zhongmiaowan, you will definitely earn money!
After all, one is an aphrodisiac, and the other is a elixir that helps in cultivation.

The two markets cannot be compared.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Luo Chen did not dare to relax at all.

Huanyu floated above the Danding, and Luo Chen's spiritual power continued to output.

The spirit power released is not great, but only one-tenth of the fireball technique.

However, this force must be maintained extremely well and extremely stable.

If it lasts for a long time, there may even be a feeling of fatigue.

Moreover, after the spiritual power is output, it needs to be manipulated and squeezed according to a special technique.

This technique, which Luo Chen learned from "Qing Yuan Dan Jie", is called Zhe Yu Shou, which is specially used to process jade materials.

Under the jade-folding technique, cracks appeared in Huanyu's jade shell.

Then, drops of crystal clear juice oozed out like bone marrow.

This is Huanyu chalcedony!

It was supposed to be solid too, but during spiritual kneading, it became half solid and half liquid.

When these chalcedony enters the alchemy, it will completely turn into liquid under high temperature.

It took Luo Chen a lot of effort to extract the chalcedony.

It took a full half an hour to complete the work.

"One of the two most difficult places has been completed."

"Next, there is another difficulty."

The main material is jade, which means that this kind of pill is not a medicine pill, but a mineral pill!

In the world of cultivating immortals, pills are the absolute mainstream.

Among the pills, there are also many types.

The specific classification is divided according to the main material and function.

If herbal medicine is the main material, it is medicine pill.

The monster inner alchemy is the main material, which is the beast alchemy.

The ore is the main material, which is the ore pill, also known as the golden stone pill.

It is said that there are also soul pills that use soul as the main material, Qi pills that use "qi" as the main ingredient, and Qi pills that use heaven and earth wonders as the main ingredient.

There are even rumors that those who are powerful in alchemy can use the nothingness of the law of the great way as the main material to refine the alchemy!
Swallow a dao pill into the stomach, and the great way can be expected. From then on, my life is up to me.

Luo Chen was not interested in those illusory things.

Now, with all his efforts, he has only come into contact with medicine pills and mine pills.

Today's chalcedony pill is mine pill.

Refining ore pills will more or less encounter a problem.

That is how to perfectly integrate it with medicinal materials such as plants and plants while removing the impurities of the ore.

If the impurities are not removed enough, then the ore pill will have a legacy of gold and stone.

If the fusion is not good enough, then Cheng Dan will be very unstable and easy to mineralize!
As for the mineralization result?

Soon, Luo Chen saw it.

Not only him, Mi Shuhua and others also saw it.

"This is the chalcedony pill you refined?"

Mi Shuhua was holding a handful of small colorful stone beads with disbelief on his face.

Luo Chen was a little embarrassed and scratched his head.

"Well, if a person stumbles, a horse stumbles!"

"Besides, whoever makes alchemy in the first batch will be successful. Don't mention me, even if you ask that alchemy grandpa from Zhongzhou to come, he won't dare to boast to you."

As he spoke, Luo Chen yelled.

Straightforward and strong!

The words are so.

The truth is the same.

But the disappointment is still hard to hide.

Mi Shuhua sighed, and threw the handful of small colorful stones on the ground.

"I'm too anxious."

Luo Chen subconsciously patted him on the shoulder, and after he patted him, he was shocked.

Since when have I been so disrespectful to Foundation Establishment monks!

But seeing the other party was not displeased, he licked his face and said with a smile: "Hey, failure is the mother of success. This failure will definitely succeed in the future. Lao Mi, don't be discouraged. I have an idea!"

Lao Mi muttered the phrase "failure is the mother of success" and went home in a daze.

After being a Taoist guardian for three days, the brother who was being protected gave him a blow in the head when he came out.

After he left, Luo Chen shook his head.

The young man is quite old, why is he still so restless!

He practiced Zhongmiao Pills back then, but he failed for several days in a row, so he was full of confidence.

In front of other subordinates, he picked up those colorful stone beads from the ground.

Anyway, it is also a small gadget made of raw materials worth five spirit stones.

Not to mention other things, you can use it to play beads or checkers in your spare time!
However, this amount is not enough. If you fail a few more times and get all the colors together, you can play checkers.

That's what he thought, and that's how the others watched him happily picking up the beads.

Then, in the next few days, all the failed beads were collected and sent to Luo Chen.

In the past few days, Luo Chen has started to make alchemy hard.

Every morning and afternoon, practice Zhongmiaowan once.

Under his deliberate control, the alchemy rate of low-grade, middle-grade, and high-grade pills was controlled at a ratio of [-].

In doing so, it will be very slow to increase the proficiency of Zhongmiao Pill Grandmaster.

But it concealed his true alchemy level very well.

In this regard, the gang held another meeting.

It was hosted by Mi Junping.

She planned to differentiate the prices of these three grades of pills.

After some discussion, the low-grade Zhongmiao pills were priced at three spirit stones, the middle-grade ones were still five, and the top-grade ones were priced at ten spirit stones.

Such a high price is almost equivalent to a pill for nourishing Qi!
There must not be many people who buy it.

But it's okay, there will always be people who are taken advantage of and will buy.

Moreover, the grades are different, and the properties of the medicine are also absolutely different.

According to the experience report of Mr. Zeng Wen, a senior experience user, it is concluded that the effect of Zhongmiao Pills is twice as effective as that of the low-grade ones, while the high-grade ones completely cast aside the sequelae of Zhongmiao Pills themselves.

Even if it is taken for a long time, it will not cause Xiaguan Jinsuo to loosen.

Moreover, it really has the effect of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the talents.

Zeng asked directly, he found the direction of the avenue!
Luo Chen was also moved by himself, he brought a ray of warmth and color to this indifferent world of cultivating immortals.

He, Luo Chen, should be one of the top ten outstanding youth representatives in the world of cultivating immortals in the Jade Cauldron.

Jade Cauldron Sword Sect owes him a trophy made of high-grade spirit stones!

Well, self-touching is over.

Apart from refining Zhongmiao Pills twice a day, Luo Chen would also refine the Chalcedony Pill by himself in the evening.

That's why there are so many colorful beads.

Time goes by very fast.

In a flash, ten days later.

Mi Shuhua once again stepped into the alchemy hall of the oblique moon valley.

It's just that when he first arrived, he was so angry that he blew out his beard.

"What are you guys doing?"

On the left side of Dantang is a slightly protruding cliff platform.

Normally, a stone table is set up here for Luo Chen to eat and drink.

However, today, there were three people sitting at the stone table.

Luo Chen, Gu Caiyi, and Sikong Shoujia.

The three people are surrounded by a hexagonal disc in the middle.

It is densely packed with stone beads of six colors.

At this time, it was Sikong Shoujia's turn to play chess.

Hearing Mi Shuhua's sudden roar, he screamed and quickly opened the chessboard.

"Leader, we are studying the characteristics of the discarded chalcedony pill, looking for the possibility of success."

It sounds grandiose, but!
Luo Chen gritted his teeth and stared at Sikong Shoujia.

Old man, you are about to lose, and you actually knocked the chessboard off.

I don't care, anyway, the book you bet on must be given!
……

Faced with Sikong Shoujia's sophistry, Mi Shuhua was dubious.

In general, he doesn't believe it at all!
But the other party is now looking at Luo Chen eagerly, and he also wants to know what progress Luo Chen has made.

Seeing the two old men looking at him pitifully, Luo Chen sighed.

He took out a jade bottle from the storage bag and threw it to Old Man Mi.

Mi Shuhua took the jade bottle in doubt, and after opening it, his eyes widened instantly.

Then…….
"Hahaha, sure enough, you are a genius in alchemy!"

Luo Chen gave a thumbs up, "You are always astute!"

Uh!
Mi Shuhua froze for a moment, this kid is really brazen!
But immediately, he was overjoyed and poured out a pale white pill from the jade bottle.

"Come on, that kid from the Luo family, come here."

Luo Chen raised his footsteps subconsciously, and then became angry from embarrassment.

Damn, it's Luo Erdo, Luo Wudi's nephew.

No, after being honored as the ancestor in the future, Luo's surname should be taboo for the venerable no matter what!

Roldo stepped forward in a daze.

"Help Master!"

"Eat it, run the exercises, try to refine it, and then tell me the result."

"Oh"

Roldo is usually careless, but in front of the foundation-building monks, he is still cute and clever.

He took the chalcedony pill and began to practice exercises on the spot.

But that posture is as weird as possible, like a toad crawling on the ground, or like a tiger descending a mountain with all its hair standing up.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen was stunned.

Seeing his doubts, Gu Caiyi explained in a low voice, "Every kind of exercise has its own magical effect, and the natural way of cultivation is also different. It is said that what Roldo practiced was Uncle Luo Wudi's Xinhu Xingshan method. At each stage, the exercises will be different. Simulate some of the monster's movements, so that it can better absorb the spiritual energy of the world."

Luo Chen suddenly realized.

He doesn't know much about exercises.

The only one who knows is probably Changchun Gong.

Changchun Kung Fu and Mu belong to Kung Fu, so it should be static rather than moving.

Therefore, when performing exercises, one's own state is like a tree standing still.

This Xinhu Xingshan method is more inclined to the moving method.

I don't know what other skills are like.

Thinking this way, he glanced at Gu Caiyi.

However, he found that the other party's expression was a little unnatural, and subconsciously turned his cheek.

Luo Chen became interested, "Gu Daoyou, practice kung fu together when you have time!"

"roll!"

Gu Caiyi spat, winking (white eyes).

Seeing the two muttering, Mi Shuhua gave a hard look, and immediately opened a silence barrier for Roldo.

It takes a very long time for low-level monks to perform exercises.

It took Luo Chen two hours to practice Changchun Gong once.

This disadvantage was caused by the increase in proficiency later, and it was gradually reduced to half an hour now.

Roldo is no exception, he is doing all kinds of strange movements, and each movement lasts for 10 minutes.

It wasn't until two hours later that he was sweating profusely that he called it a day.

Mi Shuhua nodded, "Xin Hu Xingshan method has a total of nine movements. You can use six movements at present. It seems that the foundation in the middle stage of Qi refining is still very solid."

Roldo couldn't help but be happy when he got the praise.

He wiped off his sweat and talked about the experience of the pill just now.

"The property of the medicine is cold, so it is not as mild as Yangqi Pill."

"Normally, the main material is Huanyu. Huanyu belongs to cold, so the medicinal property is naturally cold." Luo Chen explained aloud.

Glancing at Luo Chen, Roldo continued:
"The medicinal power is very good, it has increased my overall spiritual power by about one-twelfth of a thousand."

Twelve thousandths, almost two thousandths.

Luo Chen frowned after hearing this, "The potency of the medicine is a bit low, maybe it's because my technique is not good enough."

However, Mi Shuhua is already very satisfied.

He said with a smile: "Roldo is only at the fourth level of refining qi, and taking a qi-nourishing elixir, the increase is only [-]/[-]. In other words, this low-grade chalcedony elixir already has [-]% of the effect of qi-nourishing pills!"

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows. Mi Shuhua seems to be very experienced in this area?
Right now, I just have this confusion.

Perhaps, you can find time to squeeze Mi Shuhua in this regard.

For the monks in the foundation building period, as long as they are willing to squeeze, they can always produce some wool.

After getting the user experience, Mi Shuhua screened out left and right.

He looked at Luo Chen excitedly, "How about the success rate?"

Luo Chen said indifferently: "I have only succeeded once in the past ten days. I used my own Ziyun copper furnace. In one furnace, eleven chalcedony pills came out."

Hearing this, Mi Shuhua's excitement decreased somewhat.

It is impossible for chalcedony pills to be sold like Zhongmiao pills.

Zhongmiao Pills, as Kang Dongyue, the owner of the Jinshi Pavilion in Taishan Fang, said at the time, the price is much, much higher.

It is only because of the special properties of the medicine, and because it is in Dahefang, a place where monsters are often fought, that they can be sold individually, and the price is five spirit stones.

Its real value, in other peaceful inland cities, is no more than one or two spirit stones.

Now the chalcedony pill is only one-tenth of the medicinal power of the nourishing qi pill.

Then the price of a bottle, naturally cannot exceed too much.

Cultivators are very, very sensitive to the price of cultivation pills.

"The cost of five spirit stones, if we sell a bottle of ten spirit stones, we won't be able to make much money!"

Mi Shuhua murmured.

Afterwards, he looked at Luo Chen expectantly, "Can you increase the number of pills?"

Luo Chen spread his hands, "I'm afraid I can't do it now, unless I make more progress in the refining of chalcedony pill."

"Moreover, it cannot be refined on a large scale like the Zhongmiao Pill. I am not familiar with it myself, and the technique cannot be passed on to others."

For now, Luo Chen is indeed doing it himself.

If those medicine apprentices and pyrotechnics are rushed to help, I am afraid that one of a hundred batches will not be successful.

Hearing these difficulties, Mi Shuhua's old face became even more sad.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen felt a little distressed. He didn't understand it before, but he looked like a kind and rich man.

Now that I have been in contact with each other a lot, I realize that the other party also has troubles!

Therefore, Luo Chen decided to solve his troubles for him.

"Master, in fact, the problem that restricts me from refining more chalcedony pills lies in the barrier of dealing with Huanyu."

Mi Shuhua's spirits lifted, he had also seen that alchemy formula countless times, and even let the alchemy apprentices trained by Mi's family try to use it.

Naturally know the difficult pass.

"Every time I process Huanyu, whether it's squeezing out chalcedony or merging chalcedony with auxiliary materials, I must concentrate on it."

Luo Chen rubbed his eyebrows, "You know, we monks in the Qi refining period have a shallow soul background, and our spiritual knowledge can't even leave the body. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for me to do anything."

"So?" Mi Shuhua asked tentatively.

Faintly, he had a bad feeling.

Luo Chen opened a pair of big innocent eyes, "So if there is any panacea for calming the soul, I can always refine more and better chalcedony pills for you."

"Well, Anshenxiang is very good, cheap, and effective. If there is such a small box a month, I can definitely do more for this cause!"

Anshenxiang, one of the best foreign objects for low-level monks to assist in cultivation.

One sedative incense per day is enough for monks to practice their natal skills five more times, and it is said that it can restore the fragile soul of low-level monks.

Luo Chen had used this thing before, and it was obtained from a short-lived ghost.

Those were two rare experiences in his life of killing people and seizing treasures.

That experience left him with both a bad and a wonderful experience.

Anshenxiang is one of the wonderful experiences.

A box of calming incense made him open up his practice for a while, and he even had the energy to develop his own fighting style.

It can be said that if there is no box of Anshenxiang and the accompanying Yangqi Pill.

He also had no chance to survive the second battle.

Hearing this name, Mi Shuhua trembled all over.

It's not expensive, a box of Anshenxiang is just a drop in the bucket to him.

The reason for his trembling is that this kid always seems to be pushing an inch?
But, for chalcedony pill!

Mi Shuhua took a deep breath, "Anshenxiang, right? I will send someone to deliver it. But you, you must let me see the effect!"

"Definitely, I, Xiao Luo, will never talk empty words, you always wait to count the spirit stones at home until you can't close your mouth!"

Ronaldinho is now laughing from ear to ear!

　Thanks to Yanhua Xiaomin for the reward, I remember this is the second time, thank you very much
