Mortal: I use the farm to ask for immortality

Chapter 5 Alchemy

Perhaps because of the time traveler, Gu Changqing's spiritual consciousness is naturally much stronger than that of the same level, and it is easy for him to control two magic weapons at the same time.

Under his control, the hard stone wall was cut off piece by piece like tofu.

Soon, a simple cave abode took shape.

There are all kinds of facilities such as training room, spirit beast room, alchemy room, rest room, etc., and even some small holes are drilled in the hidden parts of the mountain wall to facilitate the flow of air.

In order to facilitate escape, several escape routes were opened at the back.

The exit is blocked with vine rubble.

Looking at the newly opened cave in front of him, Gu Changqing nodded with satisfaction.

He casually put the already pitted Lieyang Sword and Lengyue Sword into his storage bag without feeling any distress.

This kind of rubbish is barely considered a low-level magic weapon and is not used in a battle of magic.

No one wants it for sale, and it would be a pity to lose it.

Today is just the right time to make use of the remaining heat.

"Finally, we have a relatively safe environment where we can practice well. Alchemy and talisman making can also be put on the agenda."

Because of the rush of time, the cave is still a little rough.

There are also various unevenness on the stone wall, which looks very crude.

However, Gu Changqing didn't care about these things.

Again.

It’s not like it can’t be used!

After casually performing a "Dust Avoidance Technique" and cleaning up the entire cave, Gu Changqing lay down on the stone bed and fell asleep with his clothes on.

He had been busy all day without much rest.

Even a cultivator like him, who has experienced spiritual energy cleansing and whose physique is far superior to ordinary mortals, feels a little tired.

It just so happened that the sky was completely dark at this time.

A bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the cold moonlight shines on the mountains. Occasionally, there is a chirping of insects, which is particularly clear in the quiet mountains and forests.

The next day, when the sun rises in the east.

Gu Changqing woke up in high spirits and began his daily Qi refining practice.

According to Brother Wu from the Chuan Gong Hall, when the sun rises every morning, the spiritual energy is the most active and active time of the day. Practicing Qi refining at this time can greatly improve the efficiency.

After conducting experiments, he also found that this was indeed the case.

Therefore, from then on, Gu Changqing meditated and practiced Qi from early morning to mid-morning every day.

The rest of the time is used for other matters such as practicing spells.

After completing his daily practice, Gu Changqing walked into the alchemy room and sat cross-legged on the futon on the ground.

Then he took out two pill prescriptions from the storage bag and placed them in front of him.

They are "Marrow Cleansing Pill" and "Qi Condensing Pill".

Marrow Cleansing Pill, as the name suggests, its main function is to cleanse the marrow of the I Ching.

It is generally used by monks who are new to the immortal path. It can provide a little spiritual energy to improve their cultivation. For monks in the early stage of Qi refining, these spiritual energy are still very considerable.

However, after the cultivation reaches the middle stage, the effect is not so good.

For monks in the late stage of Qi refining, it has basically no effect.

The pill that Gu Changqing took before was this marrow-cleansing pill.

It is basically exhausted now.

The Qi Condensing Pill is a specialized cultivation elixir that is effective in the middle and late stages of Qi refining. If drug resistance is not considered, it can even be used up to the peak of Qi refining.

Gu Changqing's goal is to refine this Qi Condensing Pill!

But before that, he planned to practice his hands with the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

You must know that alchemy is not only very demanding in talent, but also requires a lot of practice.

Many alchemists from big families and sects may only be able to refine a few types of elixirs in their lifetime.

Because there are not so many materials, it can provide alchemists with a lot of practice!

Therefore, in order to improve the success rate.

They can only choose to specialize in certain types of elixirs.

Of course, these restrictions are no longer a problem with the original protagonists Han Li and Gu Changqing.

Even if they don't have enough talent, a large amount of resources can help them pile up their alchemy skills.    This is what many alchemists dream of!

Gu Changqing took the marrow-cleansing elixir recipe in front of him and reviewed the entire alchemy process again. He had spent more than half a month studying both elixir recipes and felt that he had basically mastered them.

However, it is better to confirm subconsciously before refining.

After reviewing the prescription, Gu Changqing flicked his sleeves.

A small yellow tripod, a pile of bottles, cans, and some jade boxes suddenly appeared on the ground in front of him.

These are auxiliary materials for alchemy, which he purchased from the market before.

It looks like there are a lot of things, but the spiritual stones spent are not much.

After all, the elixir required for the elixir in the Qi refining period is not rare, but there are certain requirements for the year of the main medicine, and other auxiliary materials are very common things.

Gu Changqing ripened all the main materials from previous years by himself.

Therefore, his alchemy cost is very low.

Among these things, the most valuable was the brass tripod, a low-level magic weapon, which cost him more than a dozen spiritual stones.

After making all preparations, Gu Changqing cast a levitation spell on the brass tripod in front of him, causing it to float about three feet above the ground.

Then he made a hand with his hands and fired several magic spells to activate the miniature magic circle that had been carved below.

The lines of the magic circle light up in red.

A bunch of flames appeared out of thin air directly below the small tripod.

At the same time, a high temperature spread throughout the room, making the stone walls glow red.

However, Gu Changqing didn't seem to feel anything. He focused on the small cauldron that was burned red by the flames in front of him. He strictly followed the process recorded in the prescription and performed every step of the operation in an orderly manner.

Preheating, refining, purifying and condensing.

As time passed, the cauldron gradually began to emit wisps of medicinal fragrance, which made people feel refreshed.

It feels like the time is almost here.

Then the magic formula of both hands changed, and several red lights were shot out quickly.

Suddenly the flames in the magic circle became more dazzling, the high-temperature flames licked the cauldron like tongues of fire, and the scent of the medicine became more and more intense.

Everything is similar to what was recorded in the elixir prescription, and it seems that the elixir will be condensed soon.

Gu Changqing couldn't help but show a nervous look on his face.

"puff!"

Yet at this moment.

The cauldron suddenly shook a few times, and then there was a dull explosion.

Gu Changqing's face suddenly darkened and became a little ugly.

Although I had expected it a long time ago, it was basically impossible for me to successfully refine it in one go.

But he was about to succeed, but fell short at the last moment. This feeling of failed expectations still made him feel a little depressed.

After sighing slightly, he still fired the spell and stopped the flames.

After the temperature of the small cauldron cooled down, he reached out and opened the lid of the cauldron and took a look inside.

I saw a few solid black objects lying inside, and a burning smell filled the air.

"It seems that when the elixir was finally condensed, the heat was not controlled well, which caused the elixir to be internally unstable and exploded."

Gu Changqing frowned slightly, carefully looked at the scraps in front of him, and began to analyze the reasons for the failure.

Feeling that he had found the reason, he cheered up again.

After the brass tripod has completely cooled down, clean the waste inside.

The next round of refining started.

The same steps, the same amount of elixir, and the same technique.

But this time it failed in the step of refining the elixir.

Gu Changqing felt much calmer this time.

He continued to carefully summarize his failed experiences and adjusted his techniques. After the brass cauldron cooled down, he started the next refining process without stopping.

The extremely low cost of alchemy allowed him to boldly try.

So, with a lot of practice, Gu Changqing's alchemy skills began to improve rapidly, and he even figured out his own unique method.

Starting from the first batch of successful elixirs, the probability of successful elixirs also began to gradually increase.
