Drunk Immortal Gourd

At this level, Qingyang could also feel that his alchemy skills had reached a limit, and it seemed that he was only missing the mark. It's like a bottleneck encountered when improving one's cultivation. Once you get over it, the world will be brighter. If you can't get over it, you will be stuck here forever.

At this time, Qingyang was no longer in a hurry. He put down everything temporarily, opened the door of the alchemy room, and came to the edge of the pond in the yard. While recovering his spiritual thoughts, he quietly adjusted his mood and waited until he was completely When he felt calm, he returned to the alchemy room again.

Sitting next to the alchemy furnace again, Qingyang's heart was calm and calm, and he seemed to have forgotten everything just now. If there were outsiders here at this time, they would definitely be surprised to find that after such a period of time, Qingyang's temperament has changed. It’s completely different from just now. There was still a hint of rawness before, but now he has a bit more of the demeanor of an alchemy master.

After a long silence, Qingyang re-lit the spiritual materials to bake the alchemy furnace. When the predetermined heat was reached, he took out a medicinal plant from the side, cleaned it, and threw it into the alchemy furnace. Then he did not look at the reaction in the alchemy furnace. Take out the piece of bright yellow powder and twist some powder with your hands.

The movements are still the same as before, the steps are the same as before, the alchemy furnace is the same as before, and the medicinal materials are the same as before. But if you look closely, you can see that it is very different from just now. There seems to be a little more roundness, a little smoothness, a little skillfulness, and a little something inexplicable in it.

Everything went smoothly, and there were no mistakes in the process. Unknowingly, half an hour passed, and the elixir refined by Qingyang reached the most critical moment. I saw his hands flying up and down constantly, sometimes making secrets, sometimes making luck, sometimes flicking his fingers slightly, and sometimes making empty pictures in the air. His movements were so fast that only shadows could be seen all over the sky.

After all the movements were completed, a trace of sweat broke out on Qingyang's head. Now Qingyang is a Qi Refining monk, and his abilities in all aspects have been greatly improved. They are not the same as before, but This series of actions still made him sweat and exhausted physically and mentally, which shows how difficult alchemy is for a beginner.

All the steps were completed, and this time it was smoother than any before. However, Qingyang did not relax, but stared at the alchemy furnace with fear, for fear of any unpredictable consequences. To be able to achieve this step is already a super level performance for Qingyang. If it doesn't succeed this time, I don't know when it will happen next time.

At this time, a slight tremor suddenly came from the alchemy furnace in front, followed by a buzzing sound, and a faint scent of elixirs came out from the alchemy furnace.

Success, really success, Qingyang no longer hesitated, reached out and opened the lid of the alchemy furnace, and saw a brown pill the size of a peanut lying at the bottom of the alchemy furnace, and Qingyang was opening it. There is no difference between the Qi-nourishing pills taken during the pulse state.

Qingyang suppressed the excitement in his heart and carefully took the elixir into his hand and observed it carefully. He found that there were some subtle differences between this elixir and the common elixirs on the market. The color was heavier and the potency was slightly lacking. , the quality is generally a bit poor.

This elixir can only be considered a success, and cannot be compared with the real Qi-nourishing elixir. However, with this breakthrough from scratch, can the second success be far away? As long as you practice diligently, you will be able to refine the real Qi-nourishing Pill sooner or later.

Never discouraged by defeat and never arrogant by victory, Qingyang did not get carried away because of his first success. He sat there quietly and went through the process of refining the alchemy in detail in his mind, analyzing the reasons for this success. If you fail, you should sum up your experience and lessons, and try not to do it again next time. If you succeed, you should sum up your successful experience and strive to be more successful in the future.

After summing up his experience, Qingyang took a short rest and then returned to refining the elixir. Qingyang stared at the alchemy furnace, and his hands were constantly moving, processing materials, adding spiritual materials, controlling the fire, and taking care of the alchemy furnace. He was very busy.

For an alchemist with superb alchemy skills, it is not necessarily necessary to divide the materials into such fine pieces like Qingyang. Only one elixir can be refined at a time, and each medicinal plant must be cut into several pieces for use. They can prepare three, five, or even ten materials at one time and put them into the alchemy furnace for batch refining at the same time.

However, refining several elixirs at one time requires exponentially more energy and consumption of true energy and spiritual thoughts. The cultivation level is too low, and there is no superb elixir skill, or the refining of that kind of elixir. There is complete certainty. Under normal circumstances, no one dares to try it casually, because one failure will waste several materials and the loss is too great.

Qingyang was a beginner and his strength was not very high, so he divided the materials into pieces and tried to refine one pill at a time. Only by refining it more times can it be used to maximize Qingyang's alchemy experience.

With the first success, the following things will be easier to handle. After refining the Qi Nourishing Pill, he only failed a dozen times before achieving the second success. The quality of the Qi-nourishing pills refined this time is almost the same as those sold on the market. Except for the slight lack of success rate, Qingyang is basically a beginner in alchemy.

For the next month, Qingyang did not leave the alchemy room again. When all the Qi-Nourishing Pill materials were used up, his success rate in refining the Qi-Nourishing Pill had reached about 20%.

This success rate is still far behind that of a real alchemy master, but for a novice like him who has just come into contact with alchemy, it is already very impressive. You must know that from learning alchemy to now, he has used a total of for five months.

It is difficult to learn alchemy. It not only requires talent, but also requires a lot of materials for them to practice. However, it is difficult to cultivate immortality. For the majority of monks, the few resources they get are not enough to even practice themselves. How can they have extra financial resources for them to waste? Therefore, in the outside world, self-taught alchemists are rare, and only some powerful forces can cultivate high-level alchemists.

If the materials Qingyang used in the past month were given to a real alchemy master, he could refine at least two hundred Qi-nourishing pills. However, Qingyang wasted so much and ended up refining only dozens of Qi-nourishing pills. This is still Because of the greater number of refining times in the later period, the rate of elixir formation has been greatly improved. Qingyang just learned to refine the inferior Qi-nurturing pills, and he wasted materials worth more than ten spirit stones. If he learns more advanced Qi-gathering pills, the value of the wasted materials will increase several times and dozens of times. At that time, which monk could afford it?
