Drunk Immortal Gourd

Of course, Qingyang's alchemy skills have not fallen behind. What he does most after practicing is refining alchemy. Almost all the Qi Gathering Pills that Qingyang has taken in these years have been refined by himself. Among them, the ones with slightly better quality are kept for himself. The worse ones were easily sold to others.

Over the past few years, Qingyang had taken three to four hundred pills. In the end, not only did he not spend any spiritual stones on this, but he actually had a slight balance.

Of course, this is due to the improvement of his alchemy skills. As early as when he had just broken through the Qi refining stage, Qingyang was already a quasi Qi alchemist. The material value of refining an elixir is about a quarter of the finished elixir. With the success rate of Qingyang's quasi-qi alchemist of about 20%, it can barely breakeven. In other words, Qingyang can refine it. The value of the elixir is basically the same as the total of all the materials he used, but the labor cost is not included.

However, as Qingyang's strength increased and the number of times he refined elixirs increased, his success rate in elixir refining also continued to increase, gradually increasing from 20% to 30%, and then to close to 40%. The success rate of 40% is almost the limit for Qi Alchemy monks. There are so many Qi Alchemy Masters in the entire alchemy academy, and not many can achieve this success rate.

An alchemist who reaches a 30% success rate will basically make a profit, and a 40% success rate will make even more profits, so every time Qingyang purchases a batch of materials for refining the Qi Gathering Pill, and refines it After producing the Qi Gathering Pill, keep some of the good quality pills for your own use, and sell the remaining pills to others. The spiritual stones earned can be used to purchase the next batch of materials. This forms a virtuous cycle, without spending any of your own money. There are also enough spiritual stones and elixirs to take.

Considering that in order to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill in the future, one must improve one's alchemy skills to the level of a Foundation Establishment Alchemist before that. The pills used by the Foundation Establishment monks to improve their cultivation are mainly Yuan Yang Dan, so Qing Qing Yang also purchased a batch of materials and tried to refine them.

As a result, there are many failures and almost no successes. Even with ten materials, even one Yangyuan Dan cannot be refined. The ingredients for one Yuan Yang Dan require two or three spirit stones, and ten ingredients require twenty or thirty spirit stones to buy. It would be false to say that it doesn't hurt to waste so much at once, and Qingyang doesn't dare to try it easily. Usually after a long period of time, when the state is almost adjusted, I will try to refine it again.

Over the past few years, Qingyang has wasted hundreds of spirit stones, and he has succeeded a few times. With almost ten materials, he can successfully refine a Yuan Yang Dan. The 10% success rate is far lower than that of a Foundation Establishment Pill Master. The level needs to be improved in the future.

As for the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill, Qingyang has collected some more over the years, but the quantity is not very large, and it is still very early to collect ten copies. In recent years, Qingyang has been practicing in seclusion within the sect and has no additional source of income. The welfare of the inner courtyard and the income of the farming courtyard have also been spent on improving alchemy skills, and there is no extra financial resources for large-scale purchases.

Unless he encounters a special material that is rarely seen and is extremely important for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, Qingyang will find a way to buy him back. For this reason, Qingyang also dealt with some spiritual wine at a low price. As for those more common and expensive materials, you can only wait for a while. You can buy them at any time, and wait until there are enough spiritual stones in the future.

Regarding Cao Du's descendants, no useful clues have been obtained over the years. Qingyang also came forward to inquire. However, it was too long ago and many things have been forgotten. Some people remember that Feng Yan once lived in Qingfeng Palace. , but no one knows where he went afterwards.

Qingyang has carefully calculated that if the disciples of the Immortal Sect have not yet broken through after reaching a certain age, they will basically find their own way out. If you want to find your own way out, there are many places to go. It may be to find a place with sufficient spiritual energy to settle down and continue practicing; it may be to leave Kyushu Continent to find opportunities; it may be to live in seclusion for the rest of your life; it may also be to go to other places to relax. Live in a big city.

But in summary, not many people choose the first three options, because monks are used to dealing with monks. It is troublesome to do anything by themselves. There is no place to go to buy elixirs, and the big city for casual cultivators is their best choice. Safe and convenient.

Qingyang's friend Tian Shengcai made this choice. Three years ago, Tian Shengcai finally broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, but he was already over fifty years old. Although he had not yet reached the age limit for disciples in the outer courtyard, Tian Shengcai Shengcai felt that there was no point in staying here anymore, and for some reason he got hooked up with Sang Qinglan from the Courtyard, so the two gave up their status as disciples of Qingfeng Hall and went back to Tujiao City in Yongzhou to live together.

When I first joined the sect, I chose a hope. If my qualifications were high enough or my luck was good enough, I would soar into the sky after crossing the threshold. Those who did not cross the threshold could only retreat in despair. When Tian Shengcai first entered the Qingfeng Palace, his age had reached the limit, his qualifications were average, and his luck was not good enough. It was normal for this result to occur.

However, with the strength of Tian Shengcai and Sang Qinglan, although they will not accomplish much after returning to Tujiao City, they can still build a small immortal cultivating family. In the future, if more qualified descendants are born and they are trained more, they will gradually be able to gain a foothold in Tujiao City. In time, it is not impossible to become a family like the Liang family in Yuling City.

It is very likely that Feng Yan will go to the big city of casual cultivators, but there are many big cities of casual cultivators in the entire Jiuzhou continent, and they are distributed in various places. The distance is tens of thousands of miles, so it takes a huge amount of energy to find out. Although I agreed to Cao Du and took the benefits he gave me, I can't delay my cultivation just because of this incident. I can only take it one step at a time.

Just as he was thinking about it, Qingyang suddenly felt a fluctuation in the formation outside his yard, as if someone was looking for him, so Qingyang got up and came to the door.

The person who came to Qingyang was Chen Biwang. Now he is also a disciple of the inner courtyard of Qingfeng Hall, and his cultivation has reached the eighth level of Qi refining. In the original Chaos Demon Valley trial, Chen Biwang's results were not very good. He only got something worth more than two hundred spiritual stones. After deducting what needed to be handed over to the sect, he only got more than two hundred spiritual stones in the end.

In order to obtain the Demon Seeking Order, Chen Biwang gave each of Qingyang and Lu Dingshan 300 spirit stones. The harvest of more than 200 spirit stones was not commensurate with the previous efforts. However, in addition to these gains, Chen Biwang's cultivation He has also been greatly improved, and he has broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining directly in the Chaos Demon Valley. The improvement in cultivation level cannot be bought with spiritual stones, and it is not too much of a loss.
