Drunk Immortal Gourd

Hearing Chang Wubing's words, Qingtian Sanren was very pleased and nodded: "You are right. Every time we refine a batch of elixir, we are equivalent to compiling a new elixir recipe. The only thing we are better than the person who created the elixir recipe is What saves trouble for seniors is that there are ready-made elixir recipes for reference, so you need to read more and practice more, master the characteristics of each elixir, observe the potency of each elixir, and configure the various medicinal materials in the elixir formula. Fine-tune the proportions and adjust them to the best mixing ratio, not only in terms of elixirs, but also in other aspects such as material purification and refining, elixir refining methods, heat configuration methods, etc. Every step is important for the final elixir. Influenced.”

Although Qingyang has never refined elixirs, he understands all the words of Qingtian Sanren. It is easy to learn alchemy, but it is difficult to become a good alchemist. For low-level elixirs, perhaps a few or a dozen elixirs are enough. Even if each elixir needs to be adjusted, it does not take a lot of energy.

And those high-level elixirs may require dozens or even hundreds of elixirs to refine, and the workload is staggering. If you adjust this, you have to adjust that, and it will affect other materials at the same time. You adjust After adjusting the front, the back must be adjusted, but after adjusting the back, the front may need to be adjusted again. This affects the whole body, and all previous efforts may be wasted due to a very slight error or a mistake in a certain elixir. .

So even if you succeed in refining the first time and master the refining method of a certain elixir, you will still fail when refining it again. Keeping the success rate at 20 to 30% is already very good. As for The success rate can be increased to 40 to 50% or higher, unless you are an extremely clever or extremely talented alchemist.

Qingyang was still thinking about the issue of alchemy, so Chang Wubing asked again: "Uncle Qingtian, how can I quickly improve my experience in this area?"

Qingtian Sanren shook his head and said: "It is difficult to improve quickly in this area. There is no shortcut. Either rely on talent. You are naturally sensitive to this aspect. If you are a genius in alchemy, it will be easier to learn. Or just rely on it." By studying hard and practicing hard, observing more, doing more research, making more contacts, and accumulating experience, practice makes perfect, and it will be much easier to make alchemy.”

Qingtian Sanren put it simply, but talent is something that can only be encountered but cannot be sought. It is estimated that there are not many in Qingfeng Palace. As for practice making perfect, it is even more difficult. Learning alchemy is very resource-intensive. Before becoming a real alchemist, it has always been a loss-making business and requires countless materials to pile up. Even if you become an alchemist one day, if you want to go a step further and try to refine higher-level elixirs, it will be impossible without wasting a lot of materials.

These low-level monks here, the few spiritual stones they earn in daily life are not even enough for cultivation. How can they have extra spiritual stones to buy spiritual medicine for them to waste? Only the cultivating sects and large cultivating families can afford it. Qingfeng Palace is so big, there are no more than ten Qi Refining Alchemists and Foundation Establishing Alchemists in the entire Alchemy Academy.

At the end of the sentence, Qingtian Sanren looked at Chang Wubing below and said, "Your name is Chang Wubing, right? I have also heard of you. You are very talented in alchemy. You have almost reached the level of a Qi Alchemist by relying entirely on self-study." Level. How about it? Are you interested in joining our Alchemy Academy? Among the many departments in Qingfeng Palace, our Alchemy Academy has the best treatment.”

Although the work of the Alchemy Academy is relatively boring, and most of the time has to be spent in alchemy, but as Qingtian Sanren said, the Alchemy Academy is indeed the best-paying department in the entire Qingfeng Palace, with high salary and the ability to study alchemy. There is no need to spend the spirit stone yourself. Chang Wubing naturally wants such a good thing, so he quickly said: "Thank you, uncle, my disciple is willing!"

Qingtian Sanren had already anticipated Chang Wubing's reaction. He nodded to him and said, "Okay, you go back and prepare, and then go directly to the Alchemy Academy to find me."

After the explanation, Qingtian Sanren left, leaving only a group of monks in the alchemy room, looking at Chang Wubing with envy. The alchemy academy is a good place. If nothing else, at least there will be no shortage of elixirs. Chang Wubian will probably not be short of elixirs for his practice in the future.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Chang Wubing was obsessed with alchemy and became a quasi-qi alchemist through self-study. His alchemy skills were outstanding among the younger generation of monks, and he was absorbed into alchemy by Qingtian Sanren. The hospital is also a matter of course. Qingyang is not very envious of the other party. He is still recalling the experience of alchemy taught by Qingtian Sanren. Today's lesson has benefited him a lot. He feels that as long as he can understand these thoroughly, it should not be difficult to learn to make alchemy.

The people in the alchemy room gradually dispersed. Lu Dingshan could not sit still for a long time. However, seeing Qingyang's appearance, he seemed to have gained a lot, so he did not rush him until everyone was gone. Qingyang then He stood up and walked towards his residence with Lu Dingshan.

Lu Dingshan couldn't help but ask: "Junior Brother Qingyang, you just picked out a basic book on alchemy in the Gongfa Pavilion. I see that you seem to be very interested in alchemy."

Qingyang said: "It's not that I'm interested, but I have to learn a side-by-side skill. Although we have been promoted to the outer courtyard, our annual salary is only four spirit stones and four Qi Gathering Pills, which is not enough at all. I want to try it. Try to see if you have any talent in alchemy. If you can learn to refine Qi Gathering Pill, wouldn’t it be much easier to practice in the future?”

"I see. It seems that I have to learn a body-guarding skill. Otherwise, if I just rely on the things handed out by the sect, how long will it take for me to reach the foundation-building stage?"

Lu Dingshan sighed with emotion, and then said: "But I don't have your financial resources, and I can't support my self-taught education on my own. I will go back to the main hall of the outer courtyard to see if there is an alchemy academy, a weapon refining academy, a talisman academy, or It’s an apprenticeship related to the Array Court. Start by teaching others, and you’ll learn something over time.”

The two returned to their residence in the outer courtyard while chatting, and then went home separately.

Back at his residence, Qingyang closed the formation outside the yard, and then took out the jade slip of the Five Elements Forging Immortal Technique. When he was in the Kung Fu Pavilion, Qingyang simply read the insights on the Kung Fu. Because there were restrictions on the jade slips, he didn't know the specific content in the jade slips.

This Five Elements Forging Immortal Technique will be Qingyang's main practice in the future. He may have to practice this technique for the rest of his life. Its importance is evident. Now that he returned to his residence, he finally couldn't wait to take it out.

Qingyang carefully separated a trace of his spiritual thoughts and probed into the jade slip. The jade slip seemed to be stimulated, and then a massive amount of information rushed into Qingyang's mind. Qingyang's mind was dizzy for a while, and it took him a long time to slowly recover. This was because the amount of information contained in the jade slips was too large, and his soul was relatively fragile and could not adapt to it for a while.
