To cultivate immortality, one must have good luck

Chapter 77
Absorbing the essence of heaven and earth is risky.

The essence of blooming silver is ranked twenty in character, so naturally he is also very domineering.

Under Kong Zhen's gaze, he watched the silver light slowly cover Shangguan Yuzhou's skin. In less than three or five breaths, it completely turned into bright silver, making him look like a silver man.

Fortunately, Kong Xian had complete confidence in Shangguan Yuzhou's talent. He only looked at it a few times and looked away after finding that there was no big problem.

"Absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, it can take as short as half a day or as long as three days. If you have nothing to do, let me have some fun."

Whispering, Kong Jin seemed to have thought of something interesting.

He slapped the storage bag on his waist with his palm and shook out all the elixirs he had snatched from the disciples of the Blood Clothes Alliance, as well as the miscellaneous elixirs collected in the past few days, with a cheerful look on his face.

Of course, there are also two alchemy furnaces whose quality is not very good at first glance.

There are seven elixir recipes in total, and only one is a top-grade elixir recipe, which is the Guyuan elixir he mentioned before.

The so-called top grade refers to the value of the refined elixir, which can already help monks in the late stage of Yang Lun.

The elixirs that can only be effective in the middle and early stages of cultivating the wheel are not considered high-grade.

Of course, the entry level is only the first level, which corresponds to the realm of cultivating the wheel.

The second-grade elixir corresponds to the realm of ascending the wheel.

The third-grade elixir corresponds to the realm of palm life.

And so on.

Once the elixir enters the market, its value skyrockets by more than ten times.

Don't look at the seven elixir prescriptions, but only one is a high-grade elixir.

That one piece is worth the value of the remaining six.

Whether the elixir can be sold as a high-quality medicine is also a reflection of the level of the alchemist.

Even though Kong Ji now has more than 20 years of alchemy knowledge from Ge Feng, there is still a gap between theory and practice.

It is almost impossible to refine a high-quality elixir from the very beginning.

"It's better to do it step by step, don't waste the elixir." With Ge Feng's knowledge of Dan Dao as a foundation, Kong Ji felt very safe and was not in a hurry to refine the Guyuan Dan.

Instead, focus on the remaining six pill prescriptions.

Each of the six elixirs has its own effect, but only two elixir prescriptions are most valuable to Kong Jiang.

A qi-nourishing pill can improve the cultivation level of monks in the middle and lower stages of nourishing the wheel.

But only the first three pills are effective. Each time one is taken, the effect is halved.

A Qi Restoration Pill, suitable for monks in the middle stage of cultivating the chakra and below. Taking it can restore spiritual power.

On the contrary, it is similar to Gui Ling Ye.

It’s just that the quality of Gui Ling Liquid is higher.

Kong Xian was going to start his journey as an alchemist by starting from these two elixir prescriptions.

But it's not just what he wants to refine, it depends on whether the medicinal materials contain the medicines required for these two elixirs.

Kong Ji rummaged through the scattered medicinal materials. According to the memory in his mind, he only collected the medicinal materials for the Qi Nourishing Pill.

"I think some of the elixirs were specially collected by the disciples of the Blood Clothes Alliance who collected the Qi-nourishing Pills, which gave me an advantage."

Kong Ji, who roughly guessed the reason, smiled softly.

Then he took the elixir recipe and placed it in front of him. After studying it twice, he analyzed the steps of refining the Qi-nourishing elixir one by one based on Ge Feng's elixir knowledge and experience in his mind.

After having some mental notes, I just took one of the two rough pill furnaces.

Inject spiritual power into the alchemy furnace.

There is a special formation in the alchemy furnace that converts spiritual power into the fuel needed for alchemy. This is the most basic ability of an alchemy furnace.

Therefore, the moment Kong Chi's spiritual power came into contact with the alchemy furnace formation.

"Poof!" A faint blue flame rose from the alchemy furnace.

Feeling the increasingly hot temperature of the alchemy furnace, when the temperature rose to a certain limit, Kong Ji opened the furnace lid and threw in the first medicine.

His skilled movements seemed like he had experienced them thousands of times.

When the essence of the first medicinal material has been refined and the aroma of the medicinal material is exuded, and when Kongji judges that the heat is about the same, he throws in the second medicinal material.

Every time medicine is put into the alchemy furnace, there is strict time control. According to the different fire resistance of each medicine, if you are a little careless, these medicines will be useless.

Fortunately, thanks to Ge Feng's experience, the first two steps went smoothly.

This process continued until all the medicinal materials had been dispensed. With his hands placed on the injection point of the alchemy furnace's spiritual energy, Kong Ji could judge by the scent of the medicine emitting from the alchemy furnace that the medicinal power of all the medicinal materials had been refined.

"It's time to start!" He murmured softly immediately, and activated his spiritual power again, passing through the formation of the alchemy furnace and pouring it directly into the furnace.

Use spiritual power to control the medicinal materials that have been refined to produce medicinal effects, purify them repeatedly, and discharge the unnecessary medicinal residue from the slag discharge port of the alchemy furnace.

Then start the most important step.

Cast elixir.

Control the essence of the medicinal materials left in the alchemy furnace, and use the firepower of the alchemy furnace to fuse their medicinal effects together until the elixir is completed.

This step is the most difficult and the one that most tests the alchemist's skills.

If there is a slight mistake, all previous efforts will be in vain.

Even the steps of making the elixir will directly affect the quality of the elixir.

Perhaps it was because Kong Zhi's spiritual power was too cold. When he refined it for the first time, he failed to control the amount of spiritual power. The cold air poured into the alchemy furnace, causing the essence of the medicinal materials that had not yet been completely integrated to melt directly. Formed under Bingsen's spiritual power. "Oops, the elixir was formed too quickly, and the effects of the medicine haven't been fully integrated yet!" Seeing this scene, Kong Ji was immediately shocked.

But the elixir was not destroyed, which proved that the furnace elixir was not useless.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and complete the refining of the furnace pill.

After burning a stick of incense, a faint medicinal fragrance emitted from the alchemy furnace. Kong Ji removed the remaining spiritual power in the alchemy furnace, pressed his hand on the lid of the furnace, and silently counted the time until the furnace was turned on.

"one two Three!"

After counting to three, Kong Jiang opened the alchemy furnace.

Five green pills with rough surfaces were lying quietly in the pill furnace.

"It's done!" Kong Ji, who didn't expect that he could succeed the first time, immediately picked up the elixir in the furnace with bright eyes.

But when he put them in his hands and saw their quality clearly, the joy on his face was a little less, and he muttered: "It doesn't even have the basic color, this is a second-rate product."

The first time I made the medicine, I didn't fail, but the quality was not very good, it was inferior, and it was only [-]% to [-]% effective.

Only pills that retain [-]% of their efficacy can be considered passing.

Of course, even so, these pills can still be sold for money.

Kong Ji collected them casually. Regardless of their poor quality, there were many disciples of the Cangwu Sect who were willing to pay for these five pills.

After putting away the elixir, Kong Ji did not immediately start the second batch of refining. There were only two ingredients for the Qi-nourishing elixir.

In other words, he only has two chances left.

He immediately analyzed the elixir-making process and murmured softly: "It is definitely due to my spiritual power. It was too cold and the elixir-making process ended prematurely. The elixir was not fully integrated before the medicinal power was fully integrated. It is strange that the quality is good. .”

"The control of spiritual power is still not detailed enough. When casting elixirs, the amount of spiritual power cannot be too much, nor can it be too concentrated. It must be carefully controlled."

After recalling the steps of refining the elixir several times in his mind, Kong Jiang, who had gained experience, immediately opened the furnace and made the second furnace.

The second time was smoother, right up to the elixir casting stage.

Kong Ji has very carefully controlled the amount of spiritual power injected, and deliberately dispersed it to prevent them from affecting the elixirs in the alchemy furnace.

But the firepower of the alchemy furnace was still a little cold and unable to suppress his spiritual power.

It only lasted five or six breaths longer than before.

It becomes a pill.

Probably due to the five or six extra breaths, the quality of the second furnace was [-]-[-]% better than before, retaining [-]% of the potency.

It’s considered a passing grade.

Looking at the Qi-Nourishing Pill, which was darker in color and had a smooth greenish-green color in the palm of his hand, Kong Zhi was satisfied.

That layer of smooth red clothing is called red color

"Oh, the whole process went smoothly, but the spiritual power of my frost and snow spirit is too overbearing. I can obviously refine higher quality pills."

The problems that trouble other alchemists are always the process of refining medicinal materials and the possibility that the elixir may collapse at any time when casting the elixir.

When Kong Zhen came here, all the problems were solved and became a problem of his spiritual power.

Kong Ji, who did not believe in evil, started the third and final furnace again.

This time, he was almost at full strength, controlling the injection of spiritual power with high concentration.

Over and over again, he used deliberately lowered spiritual power to impact the formed elixir, making the medicinal effects more closely integrated, and finally he could hold on for three more breaths than before.

The quality of this furnace has also reached [-]%.

Danyi became smoother.

"The control of spiritual power is still too rough. After returning to the Cangwu Sect, I can practice slowly." Putting away the last batch of elixirs, Kong Jiang finished his first elixir refining.

There are also fourteen more Qi-nourishing pills in his pocket.

The quality of these Qi-nourishing elixirs is too low, and Ginger won’t take them.

He only takes pills that are at least [-]% effective. After all, the first Qi-nourishing pill is the most effective.

Refining elixirs is an extremely time-consuming activity. Elder Zhou Shangxiang had to wait for two months for a pot of elixirs.

Even if the Qi Nourishing Pill is not in the top grade, half a day has passed since I finished the third batch of kongji.

On the other side, Shangguan Yuzhou's refining of the Spirit Blooming Essence is also coming to an end.

Boom!Two rays of silver light burst out from Shangguan Yuzhou's eyes, bombarding the rock mass on one side of the vein, and then punched out two large holes the size of fists.

Shangguan Yuzhou completely refined the essence of blooming silver.

His cultivation level is stronger than before. Facts have proved that absorbing the essence of heaven and earth can improve his cultivation level.

"Congratulations! Senior brother Shangguan, you are cultivating the wheel with essence." Kong Ji, who had been waiting for a long time, put away the alchemy furnace and immediately went forward with a smile.

"I want to thank Junior Brother Kong. If you hadn't saved me and brought me to this mineral vein, I wouldn't have been able to find this silver-splitting essence." Shangguan Yuzhou looked at Kong Jin who was walking towards him and had such a good temperament. He arched his hands with emotion.

Shangguan Yuzhou naturally did not realize that the acquisition of this silver-splitting essence was entirely guided by his own chance.

Kong Zhen is too lazy to explain such illusory things, some people may not believe it.

So he just shook his head with a smile and said nothing more.

Instead, he glanced at the entrance to the mine and said softly: "It's time for us to leave."
