Family cultivation of immortality: starting from Jiuhua Mountain

Chapter 6 Learning Alchemy

In the following days, Chen Yuhua's life was much simpler and more relaxed.

Every morning, I breathe out and move the exercises to the rising sun, absorb spiritual energy, meditate and practice for three hours. Then I go to the Jiuqing Pavilion store to guard the store for a few hours. In the evening, I spend a few hours to calm my mind and go to the Lingfu space to perform Yun Yu. Technique, weeding and insecticide, and taking care of the jade bees he brought back from the outside world.

Since the spiritual energy in the space of Yun Shen Shen Mansion is rich and rich, some time will be allocated to meditate and practice there, and the remaining half of the night will be allocated to learning alchemy.

Such simple and fulfilling days have passed by for a year.

In one year, Chen Yuhua thoroughly read the knowledge recorded in the alchemy classics, mastered the preliminary refining and extraction techniques of alchemy, and did not forget to study the alchemy notes and insights left in the alchemy book every day. Officially started learning alchemy.

First-level elixirs are very difficult to refine and are mostly consumed by mortals, so it doesn't take long to master them easily.

In order not to waste the elixir, Chen Yuhua chose to start with the simplest second-grade low-grade elixir Bigu Pill. The raw materials for refining Bigu Pill are also very easy to find. They are just some second-grade low-grade green rice, ten-year-old Polygonatum odoratum, and wild ginseng. and other raw materials.

As for the green spirit rice, Chen Yuhua had a lot of it, and together with the purple spirit rice, it was gathering dust in the cabin in the space of Yun Shenling Mansion.

Speaking of the Yun Shenling Palace space, after Chen Yuhua's cultivation broke through to the late stage of Qi training, the restrictions were loosened and the area was slightly expanded. At the same time, a blue-grey ancient house appeared together with a spiritual spring.

Although the green cabin may seem small, it can actually accommodate all things. It also has other functions. The spiritual palace produces elixirs and stores spiritual energy that is not easily lost.

As for the spiritual spring, the spiritual spring water inside is extremely clear and sweet, and the spiritual energy concentration is about the second level. Drinking it every day can improve your cultivation a lot.

Refining the Bigu Pill is easy to say. First, combine the spiritual rice, Polygonatum sibiricum, and wild ginseng in strict proportions. Use a specific technique to quench them with spiritual fire to extract the spiritual liquid. Use mana and spiritual consciousness as a guide. It is made by continuously gathering the spiritual liquid and tempering it with elixir fire.

When the elixir is completed at the last moment, the elixir will have a special medicinal fragrance. As for the quality of the elixir, it depends on the fullness and brightness of the elixir.

But that sounds simple, but it may not be easy to do.

Even if Chen Yuhua's spiritual consciousness is far more powerful than ordinary Qi training in the late stage, comparable to a ninth-level Qi training monk, it is still difficult for beginners to make alchemy.

Even though I had planned the practice process countless times in advance and deduced it several times in my mind, the first leveling still ended in failure, and the subsequent dozens of times either failed to refine or turned into useless elixirs.

As the alchemy furnace exploded with a "bang", there was no doubt that Chen Yuhua's eleventh alchemy also failed. This was still the simplest alchemy among the pills, the Bigu Pill, which showed that alchemy was not so easy to learn.

The early investment cost of elixir refining is also huge, and a lot of elixirs are wasted and consumed. Only when the elixir success rate increases to more than 30% can there be room for profit. More than a dozen refining failures could not dampen Chen Yuhua's enthusiasm. If alchemy were so easy, it would not become the most popular profession in the world of immortality.

Most alchemists in the world of immortality rely on some alchemy talent and then use countless materials to create alchemy techniques.

These are also those casual cultivators who have no sect and no sect. They rarely have the two professions of alchemist and weapon refiner. Most of them simply cannot afford the money wasted on materials in the early stage.

Even in the Jiuhua Chen family, where family resources are heavily subsidized and great efforts are made to cultivate talented seedlings, it will take decades to cultivate a second-level alchemist or weapon refiner who can make money.

Fortunately, I have space in the Lingfu, and the short-term supply of low-level elixirs is relatively sufficient, so there is no need to worry about being unable to afford it in the early stage.

After several more failures like this, Chen Yuhua did not proceed directly to the next alchemy. Instead, he cleaned up the waste residue in the alchemy furnace, summed up the experience of failure, and recalled what went wrong.

Fail like this, summarize, summarize again, fail again, summarize failure...

After experiencing a total of nineteen failures, he finally mastered the first successful potion of elixirs in his life, and saw five gleaming Bigu Pills freshly baked.

After the first successful experience, most of the subsequent alchemy attempts were successful, with occasional failures.

However, the rate of pill formation cannot be guaranteed. It is sometimes high and sometimes low. Sometimes it is as high as six or seven pills, and sometimes it is only three or four pills.

When he heard that Chen Yuhua had become a second-level alchemist, the seventh grandfather Chen Liangping was extremely happy. He took the elixir sent by Chen Yuhua with joy on his face and examined it.

"Xiaosi, it seems that your talent in alchemy is really good. I will report this matter to the clan leader as soon as possible so that the family can devote more resources to cultivating you."

But after he finished speaking, he said to Chen Yuhua with sincerity: "Although alchemy is good, cultivation is the most important thing. Xiaosi, you must not waste your cultivation because you are addicted to alchemy and expend a lot of energy. The elders in the clan are all I have high hopes for you and hope that you can build a foundation soon and lead the Chen family to prosperity."

"What Grandpa Seventh said is that Xiaosi understands and will work hard to practice and live up to the expectations of his elders." Chen Yuhua nodded quickly and replied with a serious look on his face.

"That's fine if you understand. I'll go back and report to the clan leader right away."

　Sincerely seek recommendation, collection and investment! Every vote you give is my greatest encouragement and support!
