Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

Chapter 24 Slow Alchemy (please follow up)

I grabbed three sets of Qi Gathering Pill materials and spent a total of twelve low-grade spiritual stones.

Adding in the cost of purchasing the elixir, Yu Changsheng now has 41 low-grade spiritual stones in his pocket.

There are many elixirs to assist in the Qi refining period, among which Ling Gathering Pills, Qi Gathering Pills, and Spirit Enhancing Pills are relatively common. Ling Gathering Pills are the lowest priced, with six pills in a small bottle costing more than 100 spirit coins.

The Qi Gathering Pill is its enhanced version and is more expensive than it. A small bottle of six pills can be sold for more than 20 low-grade spiritual stones.

As for the Spirit-increasing Pill, one is worth more than a dozen spirit stones.

Therefore, with three sets of materials, as long as one is successful, you can earn back the material cost, which is more than five times the profit!
This made Yu Changsheng have to sigh, alchemists really make damn money.

Of course, if you are not good at alchemy, it will be a waste of money.

If you don't have an alchemy furnace, go to the main peak alchemy hall to rent three low-grade spiritual stones a day, which come with formations and earth fire. When you have no mana or are exhausted from refining alchemy, the formations will be activated to stabilize the flames.

Normally, the rented Qi Refining Monk would run out of mana after two hours of refining the elixir. This array gave them a second chance to use it, otherwise they would have to find someone else to assist them in refining the elixir.

This is also the embarrassing state of the alchemist during the Qi refining period.

However, Sanwen Fire Alchemy is different. It is not as fast and urgent as other alchemy techniques. It does not have high requirements for mana. It is just "slow".

Yu Changsheng found the blue-robed steward, handed over the spirit stone and entered an alchemy room.

The layout of the alchemy room is very ordinary, with a pit in the center and a small formation painted around it. There is a copper alchemy furnace inside. You can tell from the ashes underneath and the faint smell of medicine in the alchemy furnace that there are often disciples. Use it to make elixirs.

Yu Changsheng summoned the Red Snake King and ordered: "If I don't have enough magic power to refine the elixir later, you can take over and spray a few flames. Remember not to spray too hard, just a small fire."

"?"

The Red Snake King's eyes widened, and a question mark seemed to pop up on his forehead.

Although it can breathe fire, isn't it a little bad to let a demonic beast act as an alchemy boy?
Yu Changsheng saw its thoughts, touched the snake's head and said.

"It's okay. You are already a mature Red Snake King. You must learn to assist your master in refining elixirs."

"When the refining is completed, I will let you eat two more."

Upon hearing this, the Red Snake King became more interested. He raised his head and nodded, guarding next to the alchemy furnace.

Yu Changsheng took out the materials one by one, spread them in front of the alchemy furnace, and sat down, feeling a little nervous.

"It's okay, everyone has their first time."

"Even if the alchemy fails, it will only cost a few spirit stones."

He picked up the magic formula and used the Sanwen Fire Alchemy Technique to create a flame that fell under the alchemy furnace.

"Put in the auxiliary ingredients first and melt over low heat to form a liquid medicine."

Yu Changsheng swiped with one hand, and several herbs flew into the alchemy furnace. When the fire was almost hot, he added the main ingredients, closed the furnace lid, closed his eyes and carefully controlled the flames.

"Slow down, don't rush the fire."

"Empty yourself and let the medicinal properties of the elixir combine naturally."

Next to him, the Red Snake King stared at it for three hours, his eyes almost hurting from staring at it, but there seemed to be no movement in the alchemy furnace.

Then he turned to look at his master, who was looking at him with his eyes closed.

Is this alchemy?Could it be that he was dozing off!

It lay down a little boringly, its eyes glancing at it from time to time.

This alchemy is really slow.
Two more hours later, Yu Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, and with a sweep of his hand, the flames under the alchemy furnace turned from a slow fire to a raging fire.

"See the same principle, alchemy elixir, water and fire fumigation through a hundred levels."

"Dan Cheng!"

As the spell was collected, the liquid medicine in the alchemy furnace gathered together and took shape. A ray of light lit up in the fire, and the rich spiritual energy rushed towards the face.

"Bang!" The pill furnace was opened, revealing six Qi Gathering Pills inside, all round and plump, with a pill pattern!
Seeing this scene, Yu Changsheng put away his magic power and smiled happily.

"This method is really powerful. Even with my magic power, I can complete the whole process without consuming much. I don't feel tired at all!"

With his proficiency in the Sanwen Fire Alchemy Technique and his understanding of the second-level alchemy, refining the first-level Qi Gathering Pill is not difficult at all. This is his first time refining it, so he is a little nervous, otherwise the amount of the elixir can be increased. Add a few more, and even reach the perfect top ten!
"I just don't know how effective this medicine is."

Yu Changsheng took out the jade bottle that he had already prepared, put the elixir in it, and looked at the Red Snake King next to him.

The Red Snake King immediately swam over, blinked, and opened his mouth wide.

He looked like he was going to feed me quickly.

"Eat, it's hard on you for guarding me for so long."

Yu Changsheng smiled and threw a Qi Gathering Pill into its mouth.

The Red Snake King swallowed it directly without chewing it. Although the effect was not as refreshing as the Spirit Enhancement Pill, it still made it feel more comfortable.

[You successfully fed a Red Snake King, consumed Qi Gathering Pill*1, and received a reward of 18 points of essence and a small amount of mana]

This trace amount is a truly trace amount. It is incomparable to the Spirit-Enhancing Pill. I didn’t feel anything after taking it for a long time.

"No wonder the price difference between the Qi Gathering Pill and the Spirit-increasing Pill is so big. Ordinary Qi Refiners may not be able to advance to a higher level even if they consume a few bottles."

Yu Changsheng shook his head, a little disappointed.

In contrast, he still likes the feeling brought by the Increasing Pill, the increase in mana is obviously visible.

He couldn't even imagine the effects of the lower level Spirit Gathering Pill.

After the Red Snake King finished digesting it, Yu Changsheng fed it another Qi Gathering Pill. This one was obtained from Luo Lesheng. The quality was worse than the one he refined. It didn't even have the pill pattern, and the essence it brought was only 12 points.

"Continue refining the elixir, there are still six hours left."

Yu Changsheng lit the fire and focused on the magic spell.

Nine hours later, he refined all the remaining two sets of materials into elixirs. The elixir-formation rate was ridiculously high, which was partly due to the second-level elixir path and the contribution of the three-fire alchemy technique.

After everything was cleaned up, Yu Changsheng took back the Red Snake King and pushed open the door of the alchemy room.

Outside the door, the steward in blue robe saw him and said with a straight face: "If it exceeds three hours, I will charge you an extra spiritual stone."

"Of course, of course, please take care of the trouble." Yu Changsheng handed over two spiritual stones and said with a smile.

Many outer disciples need to use the alchemy room. The blue-robed steward had accepted a gift before and only allowed one of his handyman disciples to use it for one day. In the end, it lasted more than three hours. Isn't this offending?

Fortunately, no outer disciples came this morning. The steward in blue robe silently took the spirit stone, his face looked much better, and he asked.

"How's it going? Did you gain anything from refining alchemy for the first time?"

"Hey, no matter what I gained, I lost all of it and fed it to the alchemy furnace."

Yu Changsheng looked heartbroken and sighed.

"It's normal. You've only been involved in alchemy for a month. Let me tell you, you should go to more lectures before refining alchemy. If you're not good at it, it's easy to lose your fortune."

"I didn't trick you last time, but Master Gongsun's method is most suitable for you Qi refining monks. Although he is slow in teaching, if you can understand a little bit of the essence, it will be enough for you to benefit from it for the rest of your life." Lan Lan The steward said earnestly.

Yu Changsheng nodded quickly and said with a smile: "Alchemist Gongsun's lessons are too profound. I still want to try more so that I can understand alchemy well."

The blue-robed steward shook his head and said, "Forget it, go ahead."

"Anyway, you have many spiritual stones. If you want to refine them, just refine them."

Yu Changsheng left the alchemy hall with a smile.

Little did he know that as soon as he left, Gongsun Yang came to the alchemy room.
