Inside the cave of Changwei Island.
Chen Changsheng lit the refined charcoal, set up the alchemy furnace, heated it up, and then began to make the elixir step by step according to Song Tianming's memory.
The first time Chen Changsheng refined the simplest fasting pill!
This is a must-have elixir for those who are in seclusion in the world of immortal cultivation. Chen Changsheng also prepared some of it before. It can replace food and provide the energy needed by the body.
In fact, there are many ways to make elixirs.
The first type is the charcoal fire used by Chen Changsheng, which uses refined carbon made from spiritual wood to calcine the alchemy furnace. This is actually a last resort, and is usually used by independent cultivators and small families when they have no other choice.
The second is to use underground fire!
Use the power of the formation to attract the underground fire to replace the charcoal fire and calcine the alchemy furnace.
This method can not only be used to refine pills, but also to refine weapons!
The big immortal cultivation families and sects all have special underground fire rooms, either for refining elixirs or weapons, but unfortunately ordinary immortal cultivators cannot enjoy them.
In fact, the foundation-building cultivators also have an innate true fire that can be used to refine pills or weapons. However, this fire consumes a lot of mana and is not as stable as the earth fire. No one uses it unless in specific circumstances.
The third type is Dan fire!
The so-called Dan fire is the fire of the golden elixir!
It is an ability possessed only by the Golden Elixir ancestors. It is generally used to train magic weapons. Of course, it can also be used to refine pills, and the effect is better.
Chen Changsheng didn't need to think about the last two methods of alchemy. There was no earth fire on Huangsha Island, so he could only use refined carbon...
"3 qian of Qianyuncao, 5 qian of Huangjing, 3 pieces of Huangweihua, 1 qian of Dingshecao, grind them into powder, and add 10 drops of spiritual water..."
"puff……"
Suddenly, an unpleasant smell emerged from above the alchemy furnace...
Alchemy failed!
"The fire must be too strong, and the spiritual water hasn't completely neutralized it... Let's try again!"
"puff……"
"It's a little late to put the water money..."
"puff……"
"The pills are collected too slowly..."
…
After a series of five or six failures, Chen Changsheng realized that he might only be a genius in the art of talismans, but not in the art of alchemy...
After calming down, Chen Changsheng studied it carefully for another two hours and tried again...
finally!
A delicate fragrance finally emerged from above the alchemy furnace...
"It's done!"
Opening the alchemy furnace, Chen Changsheng used the pill collection technique to draw the pill out of the furnace...
"Three pills were made, two of them were genuine, and one had some impurities on it, so it's an inferior product..."
"It's my first time refining pills, and I made three pills. Not bad!"
"Keep going!"
With the experience of the first success, coupled with the continuous study of Song Tianming's alchemy memory, Chen Changsheng's subsequent alchemy was much smoother. One furnace, two furnaces, three furnaces...
After refining the pills more than ten times, he succeeded eight times and failed twice!
This success rate is already very high.
For half of the beginners, if they can make the pill once after practicing ten times, it is considered a success. Normally, they need to go through many consecutive failures, and then succeed occasionally. Then, they need to summarize the experience and lessons and slowly explore the rules before they can become a real alchemist.
Since Chen Changsheng has Song Tianming's memory of alchemy, he can quickly skip this step. In the future, he will slowly integrate Song Tianming's alchemy memory into one, and then Chen Changsheng will have Song Tianming's complete alchemy experience!
"A bottle of Bigu Pill costs one Spirit Stone, and the cost of refining one bottle of Bigu Pill... excluding failures, is worth less than half a Spirit Stone... twenty times the profit..."
"It's so terrifying!"
"No wonder alchemists are so wealthy. The profits are right here..."
"However, becoming an alchemist is indeed not easy. Most people find it difficult to get started. Song Tianming has a good memory of alchemy. It took him five years from the time he started to learn alchemy to becoming a truly entry-level alchemist!"
"And in these five years, he has consumed countless spiritual herbs and medicines. Without the support of a family, even if a casual cultivator has an inheritance, it would be difficult to obtain such a large amount of resources for consumption..."
"However, starting today, I, Chen Changsheng, am also an alchemist!"
"Although, I can only refine the simplest fasting pills now..."
Huangsha Island, Xianhu Pavilion!
"Master, Chen Changsheng has returned to Changwei Island!" Zi Ling hurried to report.
"Well, what did he do in the market?" Song Xing asked.
"I went to the Huang family's spiritual medicine shop and bought some spiritual medicine. It seems that I want to try to make pills."
"Then we went to Fulu Hall, and soon we returned to Changwei Island." Zi Ling said.
"Well, when will our people arrive?" Song Xing asked.
"The message has been sent out. It will take about three days!" Zi Ling said.
"Three days...Okay, then wait another three days!" Song Xing nodded.
Since the demise of the Song family in Shouyang Mountain, Song Xing has become more calm and steady in his work, and information about Chen Changsheng has been continuously collected.
"Zi Ling, the intelligence said that after Chen Changsheng arrived at Huangsha Island, he showed his cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi training?" Song Xing raised his head and asked.
"That's right. It's because of his cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi training and his identity as a talisman maker that the Huang family appointed him as the owner of Changwei Island!" Zi Ling said.
"This is wrong, very wrong!" Song Xing shook his head.
"Master, what's wrong?" Zi Ling asked in surprise.
"Back then, when Chen Changsheng was with me, he was only at the fourth level of Qi training... Although I left Shouyang Mountain several months in advance, from the time I left to the time Chen Changsheng appeared on Huangsha Island, it was only seven or eight months at most. How could his cultivation level jump directly from the fourth level to the sixth level?" Song Xing frowned.
"Jumping two levels in seven or eight months? Impossible, unless his spiritual root aptitude is extremely amazing... But he is in his forties and has only just advanced to the sixth level of Qi training. His spiritual root aptitude is at best mid-level..." Zi Ling said slowly.
"That's him. He hid his strength at the beginning!" Song Xing said lightly.
"He hid his strength... Now five years have passed... Master, do you think he has advanced to the late stage of Qi training?" Zi Ling said with her eyes lighting up.
"The late stage of Qi training... very likely!"
"In this case, his value will be even higher. I can't go to see him in a hurry. I must be fully prepared. Send out a new message and ask the family to dispatch two more cultivators in the late Qi training stage!" Song Xing said.
The Song family is now basically a rat crossing the street. Although the Wanfa Sect has not issued any wanted order, they cannot appear in front of the world so openly.
In this way, ten days have passed in the blink of an eye...
Changwei Island.
A puff of green smoke slowly emerged from the alchemy furnace, emitting a refreshing fragrance...
"Haha, it's done! My little Peiyuan Pill is done!" Chen Changsheng couldn't help but burst into laughter...
Xiao Peiyuan Pill is not a fasting pill, but a pill that can really be used to improve your cultivation!
It's a pity that the Xiao Peiyuan Pill is only a first-grade, low-quality pill. It has an extremely good effect on cultivators in the early stages of Qi training, a slightly worse effect on those in the middle stages of Qi training, and no effect at all in the late stages of Qi training.
Of course, this is just Chen Changsheng's practice!
Above the small Peiyuan Pill there is the large Peiyuan Pill, which is a top-grade first-class pill and is most suitable for cultivators in the late stage of Qi training!
"Hmm? Sound transmission note?"
Chen Changsheng suddenly looked up and saw a sound transmission note wandering around in the formation.
"An old friend is visiting. Please invite Fellow Daoist Chen to meet us west of Changwei!"
Old friend?
Where did this old friend come from?
Could it be...
Little Moxi?
With his status, he hadn't made many friends in Shouyang Mountain. The only person he could think of was Xiao Moxi...
