My cultivation is too simple

Chapter 57 Start of Alchemy

Zhou You has experienced how powerful the characteristic skills are.

The "Edge" characteristic can improve the quality of swords and instruments once.

And the current "demon slaying" characteristics will not be much worse.

[Felling (100/100): A relatively profound knowledge, if you practice it every day, you will eventually achieve success. 】

[The felling is completed and the characteristic is obtained: Demon slaying! 】

[Demon Slayer: When attacking vegetation monsters, the golden seal will emit coercion and gradually increase the damage. Each attack can increase by [-]% and can be stacked ten times. After the stack is full, each attack has a chance to activate the power of the golden seal. , causing five times the damage! 】

Looking at the three lines of text on the gold seal, especially the last line of text, Zhou You's heart moved.

Get a damage bonus on attacks against vegetation monsters?

Can it be stacked ten times?

This means that if you encounter a vegetation monster, after attacking ten times, the damage to it will be doubled!
There is even hope of activating the power of the golden seal!
This characteristic skill is absolutely incredible.

You know, this can not only be used during the Qi training period, but can also be used for foundation building, pill formation, and Nascent Soul in the future.

I just don’t know, will there be similar characteristic skills in the future that have additional bonuses for beasts?

"Now it is basically certain that all profound-level life skills can obtain a characteristic. I don't know what characteristics [Planting] and [Cooking] will bring."

Zhou You threw away the ax and piled all the firewood on the ground under the eaves. Looking at the firewood around him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In order to improve the progress of [logging] this year, the surrounding area has been piled with firewood, and a shed was even built to hold the firewood.

Now [Chopping] is finally complete, the physical realm has been upgraded to the seventh level of body tempering, and the "Demon Killing" characteristic has been obtained, which is worthy of the perseverance over the past year.

Putting aside the matter of chopping firewood, Zhou You followed his usual practice and first grilled two green wood fish to eat. No matter what, this thing can still increase his cultivation speed.

Consistently eating two pills every day can increase your spiritual practice speed by one-sixth.

Over the past year, he has been cooking this thing in different ways, but finally found that it tastes better when grilled.

But sometimes in order to improve my [cooking] progress, I have to cook.

After eating the grilled fish, Zhou You began to draw talisman.

Nowadays, he can draw a first-grade mid-grade talisman with a success rate of about 10%, but the first-grade high-grade pyrotechnic talisman is only [-]% successful, and the progress is only [-] points.

It is relatively difficult to improve the progress and success rate of Pyroblast Talisman.

After all, once you reach the first level of high-grade runes, the requirements for refining materials are much higher than before, and you need monster skins to refine them.

Fortunately, Zhou You has the golden seal. I believe that if I practice for a few more months, the success rate should be [-] to [-]%.

Generally, a [-]% success rate is sufficient to protect capital.

After practicing ten times, he successfully drew a Pyroblast Talisman. Zhou You did not continue, but began to practice the "Bone Tempering Art".

As a "crackling" sound came from his body, Zhou You frowned slightly, and severe pain spread throughout his body, but with his current will, he could bear the pain.

The physical realm is slowly improving, heading towards the eighth level of body tempering.

After practicing for two hours, Zhou You finally stopped.

For Zhou You now, he can only last for two hours. Two hours of bone tempering is the limit.

If it continues, it will cause damage to the traveling body and the consciousness will become blurred.

So Zhou You didn’t dare to take any more risks.

Zhou You let out a breath and washed the sweat off his body. He felt relaxed and very comfortable all over.

It was getting dark now, so he came to the medicine field and looked at the herbs with good spiritual energy.

After a year of growth, these elixirs are four to five years old, which is enough for refining low-level elixirs.At the same time, during this year, Zhouyou opened up several medicinal fields.

Not long ago, Zhou You had increased the number of small Jingshen arrays to 32 sets. As he had guessed before, the power of the small Jingshen arrays had greatly increased, from being able to trap the ninth level of Qi training to the current level. Trapped in the early stage of foundation building!

This is the power of ancient formations!
Its concealment effect has also been greatly enhanced. Even monks in the middle stage of foundation building cannot discover these elixirs without approaching the medicine field and carefully using their spiritual sense to explore.

However, Zhou You also felt that although this formation seemed to be infinitely stackable, in the later stages, it required too many materials and the price/performance ratio was too poor, so it may not be the best choice.

"You can try to make alchemy now."

Zhou You murmured and decided to start with the Bigu Pill first. He collected some pills from the medicine field to refine the Bigu Pill, and then returned to the wooden house to start refining the pill.

The Bigu Pill is a low-grade elixir, and its refining is very simple. The prescription of the pill is also the kind that can be found in the bad streets, so it is easy to buy it.

The progress of the Qingyuan Spiritual Fire in Zhouyou has reached 55 points, and the temperature has already reached the standard. However, the Qingyuan Spiritual Fire cannot be used for a long time since it is only at the sixth level of Qi training.

Therefore, we can only temporarily refine the Bigu Pill to get started.

Zhou You patted his storage bag, took out the first-level high-quality alchemy furnace he bought in Huangshanfang City, and began to use the Qingyuan Spiritual Fire to heat the alchemy furnace according to the method in the alchemist's inheritance.

Refining alchemy is divided into six steps: preheating, refining, fusion, condensing elixir, accumulating elixir, and opening the furnace.

The fire cannot be withdrawn during this process, and the consciousness must always be concentrated in the alchemy furnace to observe the changes in the elixir.

Therefore, alchemy also has certain requirements for the control of mana and the intensity of spiritual consciousness.

The strength of Zhou You's spiritual consciousness is already stronger than that of ordinary ninth-level qi-training monks, and his control over magic power has also reached the level of proficiency. He has advantages in this regard.

"Open the furnace!"

Zhou You raised his hand and pointed, opening the red-hot alchemy furnace, and then threw all the herbs into the alchemy furnace.

There are only five kinds of herbs required for Bigu Pill, so it is relatively easy to refine.

Soon, under the heat of Qingyuan Spiritual Fire, the five herbs melted quickly and turned into a pool of medicinal liquid.

Then, Zhou You controlled the medicinal liquids to begin to merge.

But after just over ten breaths, Zhou You frowned and found that the medicinal liquid quickly became mixed, and the spiritual power inside began to conflict.

"Failed."

Zhou You raised his hand and opened the lid of the alchemy furnace. A burst of mist floated out, and the liquid medicine also flew out and landed in a container nearby.

Zhou You then carefully recalled the situation just now, and quickly determined that the reason for the failure was that he was too impatient. The order of fusion of the herbs was correct, but the interval was too short.

The first two medicinal herbs have not yet been completely integrated, and the spiritual power of the two medicines has not yet been completely integrated, so they are eager to combine the other medicinal liquid.

Refining alchemy is something that should be done slowly rather than quickly.

No hurry!
After figuring out the situation, Zhou You took a deep breath and continued to make alchemy.

Five kinds of herbs flew in, melted quickly, and traveled around to learn lessons, and merged the five medicinal liquids one after another.

This time there was no mistake in the fusion, but it failed in condensation.

The second time of making alchemy failed.

Zhou You was not discouraged and continued to summarize the reasons and started refining the alchemy for the third time.

Everything seemed to go smoothly during the third refining of the elixir, and finally it reached the stage of accumulating the elixir. The green life force emitted from the Qingyuan Spiritual Fire, blended into the elixir, and slowly warmed the elixir.

Yundan takes the longest time and is also the most patience-testing time.

You cannot be disturbed on the way, and the temperature of the fire cannot be too high or too low.

Fortunately, the Bigu Pill is quite simple, and it only takes a stick of incense to end the Yun Pill.
