Drunk Immortal Gourd

Perhaps Qingyang's alchemy skills have reached a bottleneck. After all, he only has the cultivation level of the foundation building stage, but he has to refine the top gold-forming elixirs among the golden elixir-level elixirs, so the improvement of his alchemy skills during this period is very slow. , seven or eight months have passed, and in his continuous attempts, the success rate of simulating the refining of the Golden Pill has only reached 30%, and he has made no progress since then.

Four or five months seems like a long time, but in fact the number of times Qingyang simulates refining the Golden Pill is not particularly high. It takes about five or six hours from preparation to the end of refining an elixir. It takes five or six days to refine all ten materials. In addition, during this period, it is used to prepare the elixir, rest and restore the true essence and spirit. When summing up the experience of failures and successes, it is common for seven, eight or even ten days to run out ten materials. Four or five months is just a simulated refining of more than a hundred materials. This improvement is considered Not bad.

After trying a few more times, Qingyang also felt the existence of a bottleneck in his alchemy skills. Knowing that he could no longer improve his alchemy skills through simulated refining alone, Qingyang had no choice but to give up, so he stepped out from the Ziyun Tongxiao Cauldron and made some preparations. After that, the formal refining of the Golden Pill began.

Qingyang first spent nearly half a month meditating to restore his true energy and adjust his mentality. Then he practiced with low-level elixirs. After he found the feel, he went through the refining process of the gold-forming elixir in his mind. Only then did he take out the materials for the golden elixir and start refining it.

Qingyang uses the Ziyun Tongxiao Cauldron, and the Ziyun Tongxiao Cauldron is obtained from the Thousand-Hand Pill King in the Zhongsha Region. It is a spiritual treasure in itself and has a certain bonus to the success rate of refining the elixir.

The fire-dispelling gourd provides the flame. This treasure is the second gourd produced by Qingyang when he picked the space gourd vine of the Drunken Immortal Gourd. It was refined by Master Shi Han. It was originally a rare treasure. Later, Qingyang The Extreme Fire was collected in the Yinfeng Extreme Fire Cave, and a large number of Extreme Fire Stones were obtained to provide energy. The current fire-driving gourd is much more advanced than Xia Meng's Earth Core Extreme Furnace.

Extreme Fire has a higher level than Earth Fire, and is even better than the Dan Fire of Golden Dan cultivators. It is often used by monks to assist in refining weapons and elixirs. It is much more convenient than using spiritual materials, and the Fire Exorcism refined by Master Shi Han Gourd is convenient and practical, and it also has a great assisting effect on Qingyang's refining of elixirs.

Because of this, Qingyang's refining of the Jin-densing elixir went smoothly, and there were no mistakes in the first material. It was not until the final condensation of the elixir that there were some slight abnormalities, and finally the success failed. After all, there are some differences between real refining and simulated refining. The materials used in simulated refining are exactly the same every time, but the actual materials are slightly different. When used, the refining method and dosage need to be fine-tuned, otherwise it will be successful. The rate can never be improved.

The first failure did not devastate Qingyang, but allowed him to figure out the subtle differences between simulated materials and real materials, gain a deeper understanding of elixirs, and gain more experience and knowledge in the refining process. With this experience, I am now more confident about the refining of the Golden Pill.

After that, Qingyang made some adjustments, summed up experience and lessons, and started refining the golden elixir again. The specific process will not be detailed one by one. In short, the second and third materials failed, but the fourth time The refining was successful, and the first gold-forming elixir was refined.

Then Qingyang continued his efforts and used up all the remaining fifteen Gold-forming elixir materials in one go, and refined four more Gold-forming elixirs. Adding the previous one, the nineteen materials were successfully used five times in total. It was slightly better than his previous prediction, with a success rate of more than 26%.

The real elixir refining is different from the previous simulated refining. Qingyang must summarize every time he refines a piece of material. If he fails, he must find out the problem to avoid making such mistakes in the future. If he succeeds, he must also summarize his experience. , carry forward the refining in the future, and at the same time adjust the mentality and restore the true essence, which takes much longer than the simulated refining. All nineteen materials have been used up, and it took almost a month. At this point, Qingyang I have been in retreat for ten months.

Looking at the gold-forming elixir in his hand, Qingyang couldn't help but sigh with emotion. For these things, Qingyang spent decades preparing materials and spent countless energy improving his elixir skills. Today he finally succeeded, on average. Each pill is worth tens of thousands of spirit stones. The key point is that this thing is extremely scarce. Even if you have spirit stones, there is nowhere to buy it.

Of these five elixirs, Qingyang was able to share three, and the remaining two belonged to others. The hard work of the past ten months was considered to be in vain. Three gold-forming elixirs should make him successful in forming elixirs, right? Thinking that he would soon become a golden elixir monk, Qingyang's fatigue suddenly disappeared.

After holding up the pills in his hand and looking at them for a long time, Qingyang reluctantly put them away, then adjusted his breathing slightly, got up and walked out of the retreat room.

Outside, many people are paying attention to what is going on in Qingyang at any time. Not only Qingyang has the desire to form pills, but other people are also very eager. Qingyang has just finished retreat, Xiying, Xiao Yuhan, Yu Mengmiao and her senior sister came to the courtyard where Qingyang rented one after another.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Xiao Yuhan couldn't wait to ask: "Junior Brother Qingyang, how is the effect of this retreat? Has the gold-forming elixir been successfully refined?"

Without waiting for Qingyang to answer, Xiying next to him said: "Do you still need to ask? It must have been successful. Junior Brother Qingyang has always been prudent in doing things. How can you do something you are not sure of? What we should ask most is Junior Brother Qingyang How many gold-forming elixirs have been refined and can be distributed."

Qingyang did not deliberately whet their appetites, and directly took out two jade bottles and said: "The elixir refining went smoothly this time. A total of five gold-forming elixirs were refined from nineteen materials. According to our previous agreement, I’ll keep three, one for each of you two groups.”

After finishing speaking, Qingyang handed the two jade bottles to Yu Mengmiao and Xiao Yuhan respectively. They took the bottles, eagerly opened the lids and poured the elixir inside into their hands.

The round elixir is about the size of a peanut. It is dark blue in color and has fine elixir lines on its slightly shiny surface. After a slight sniff, the fragrance of the elixir is intoxicating. If you look into it with your spiritual mind, you will see that it is inside. The surging energy was about to come out, but after a cursory observation, they were already sure that this was the golden elixir that the foundation-building monks dreamed of, and it would not be fake.

Looking at the golden elixir in his hand, Xiao Yuhan's thoughts had flown to nowhere, and he even forgot to speak. Xiying next to him was still calm and said: "I didn't expect that Junior Brother Qingyang really succeeded. This elixir The quality is beyond our expectations, thank you so much, Junior Brother Qingyang.”
