I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

Miaodan Pavilion.

Chu Ning did not come back to buy elixirs.

"Senior, do you want to buy alchemy skills?"

The female nun was a little shocked.

"Didn't you say before when you introduced me that there are elixir recipes and alchemy techniques for sale? Why, are you deceiving me?"

"No...no, some are for sale."

The female cultivator shook her head quickly, and then explained: "Alchemy requires one hundred spirit stones. As for the pill prescription, different pill prescriptions have different prices. If you buy the alchemy technique, we will give you a Qi Condensing Pill prescription as a gift."

"Okay, I want this."

Learning to make alchemy was something Chu Ning considered after careful consideration.

Compared with other monks, his biggest advantage is his lifespan, and the path of cultivation is inseparable from pills.

Take this foundation building as an example, almost 99% of monks need foundation building pills to break through foundation building, because every time the realm is impacted, the energy required is too huge, which is a qualitative change.

Even if the body can store it, it cannot store so much energy at once.

My own longevity fruit can allow me to successfully break through to foundation building, but it does not mean that it will also be effective in future realms.

It is necessary to learn alchemy in advance.

Talent is almost nothing, and if you spend several times more time than others, you can always catch up.

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Ning walked out of the Alchemy Pavilion carrying an alchemy furnace over one meter high. She did not continue shopping and chose to go home.

Returning to his house, Chu Ning first paid careful attention to some details in the house. If someone entered the house, he would be able to detect it.

The reason for being so cautious was because he kept a treasure in this house. The flying sword that he took from Liang Dehai and could only be used by those in the foundation-building stage was buried under the yard.

In the next month, Chu Ning began to study the alchemy book.

This is a basic theory book on alchemy. It mentions many alchemy terms, the functions of some elixirs, and the appearance and functions of some medicinal materials.

"There are three major factors that affect the success rate of the elixir, the quality of the materials, the elixir furnace and elixir fire, and the alchemist's own strength."

Chu Ning whispered softly, the most important of these three elements is the material. After all, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

A good alchemy furnace and some natural earth fire can increase the quality of the elixir.

As for the alchemist's own strength, he can control the success rate of the elixir.

However, the second element and the third element are complementary to each other. The alchemist is not strong enough and cannot control the heat well. No matter how good the alchemy furnace and earth fire are, it is impossible to refine the best elixir.

After spending a month to understand the contents of the book, Chu Ning went out to purchase materials.

I bought a lot of materials for refining the Qi Condensing Pill.

Qi Condensation Pill is the most commonly used elixir by monks in the early and middle stages of Qi Condensation, and the pill prescription is also not available on the street. This is why the Miaodan Pavilion will give this pill prescription to Chu Ning.

Chu Ning bought hundreds of ingredients for the Spiritual Energy Pill, which cost almost ten spirit stones.

In other words, as long as the alchemy is successful, based on the thirty Qi Condensing Pills in a bottle, you can earn more than twenty spiritual stones, which is tripled.

However, this is the income calculated based on the successful refining of each piece of material. In fact, being able to refine sixty pieces is already considered very good.

Qi Condensing Pills are made by first-level alchemists. A powerful alchemist cannot refine Qi Condensing Pills, so the success rate is naturally not high.

There is no separate alchemy room in the courtyard where Chu Ning lives, but refining the Qi Condensing Pill does not require an alchemy room. Chu Ning directly used the utility room as an alchemy room.

What you get on paper is ultimately shallow, but you must know that you must practice it.

No matter how much theory you read, you won't make progress as fast as practical practice.

On the first day, Chu Ning broke down five ingredients for the Qi Condensing Pill and felt a little sore.

The next day, I broke seven parts of my practice and felt a little distressed.

On the third day, I refined five parts and no longer felt any heartache.

On the fourth day, after refining six parts, I felt numb.

…

"Failure is the mother of success. Those who have just learned alchemy, unless they are backed by a big force, will definitely not have the luxury like me and can waste materials like this."

Chu Ning comforted himself in this way. With this kind of investment regardless of the cost, his level of alchemy was also constantly improving.

Originally, the materials were almost useless halfway through refining, but now I can at least complete the entire alchemy process.

This is progress.

At the same time, he also gained some experience in controlling fire through alchemy.

After a month of this, all the materials were finished.

Chu Ning held a black waste elixir and showed off to Black Snake: "Old Hei, I can finally condense the elixir into shape."

Black Snake rolled his eyes humanely and ignored Chu Ning.

However, Black Snake was still shocked. He had stayed in Sanqing Mountain for so many years, but he knew that the old Taoist was best at alchemy, and he had even seen the old Taoist priest making alchemy.

The little Taoist priest's alchemy progress was a little better than Chu Ning's, but what was the little Taoist priest's identity? He was the successor of the old Taoist mantle, and he was selected by the old Taoist.

Black Snake ignored him, and Chu Ning didn't care either. The reason why he was obsessed with refining the elixir this month was because he discovered that after refining the elixir, his consciousness improved a lot compared to before.

Since the emergence of his spiritual consciousness, his spiritual consciousness has not changed much during this period of time. However, in this short period of one month of alchemy, the range that his spiritual consciousness can sense has increased by two meters.

After thinking about it, Chu Ning understood the reason.

Refining alchemy requires full concentration, sensing the condition of the elixir in the alchemy furnace, and paying attention to the heat. This is a great exercise for the mind.

Divine consciousness originally comes from the divine soul, and a strong mind will correspondingly make the divine soul stronger and stronger, which in turn promotes the improvement of divine consciousness.

Watching the flames burning the alchemy furnace and making a slight sound, Chu Ning murmured: "A man's speed bump, in addition to repairing donkey hoofs and forging knives, should now include alchemy."

…

…

"Is this person staying in the house and learning alchemy?"

Yang Chaolie was a little stunned when he heard the news reported by his subordinates. What kind of operation is this?

Selling your lifespan with your front legs and learning alchemy with your back legs?

I only started learning it when I was in the late stage of Qi Condensation. It wouldn’t be a whimsical way of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill by myself.

"There is no need to pay attention to this person anymore. In the Wenjin Sect's apprenticeship assessment three years later, this person will not pose a threat to me."

Yang Chaolie asked his men to withdraw. He originally paid attention to Chu Ning because he was afraid that the other party would also come for the apprenticeship assessment in Wenjin City three years later.

There are no less than a hundred monks in the late stage of Qi Condensation in the entire inner city, but this city only recruits ten outer disciples every three years. One more late stage Qi Condensation disciple will create more competition.

But now it seems that Chu Ning is not here for this, otherwise it would be impossible to sell his lifespan, let alone learn alchemy at this time.

In fact, Yang Chaolie was not the only one who paid attention to Chu Ning, but these late Qi Condensation powerhouses all made the same decision as Yang Chaolie after knowing what Chu Ning had done.

…

…

The next day.

Without the materials for the Qi Condensing Pill, Chu Ning was going to go to Fangshi again to buy medicinal materials.

Not long after leaving the hospital, Chu Ning met Su Yue.

Still wearing a green gauze skirt, standing under the peach blossom tree, slender hands were playing with the petals. The long gauze palace skirt was slit, revealing her beautiful white legs.

What a beautiful picture of a beautiful woman admiring flowers.

As if she heard the noise, Su Yue turned her head. When she saw it was Chu Ning, her beautiful eyes flashed, she cleared her throat and whispered, "I've seen Senior Chu."

"Um."

Chu Ning nodded in response and continued walking forward, leaving Su Yue standing there with a look of astonishment.

how so?

She had dressed up carefully and had been waiting here for seven or eight days. Today, Senior Chu finally came out.

This is completely different from the follow-up plot she had envisioned.

Chu Ning didn't know that Su Yue had been guarding him for several days, but the moment he saw Su Yue, he knew what this girl was going to do.

Isn't this just a young girl who wants to find an uncle and save ten years of hard work?

It's not that Chu Ning is a saint and hates this kind of woman.

The most important thing is that Su Yue doesn't look like the kind of peaceful person.

Once he gets involved with this kind of woman, it will easily bring trouble to himself. Now he is asking whether Jin Cheng's footing is stable and it is not suitable for him to get involved with this kind of woman.

This time, Chu Ning didn't wander around anymore and arrived at Fangshi in just over an hour, half the time it took before.

After going to the medicine store to buy medicinal materials, Chu Ning was about to go back, but was stopped by the waiter in the store.

"Senior, my shopkeeper invites you to get together in the backyard."

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows. The total of the medicinal materials he bought amounted to dozens of spirit stones. It should not alarm the medicine shop owner.

However, he still did not refuse and followed the waiter to the backyard of the drug store.

"I, Qin Shan, have met fellow Taoist Chu."

"I have met Fellow Daoist Qin. I wonder why Fellow Daoist Qin called me to see me?"

Chu Ning looked at the old man in front of him. He was in the late stage of Qi Condensation, but his blood energy was not very strong. His lifespan was probably beginning to decline.

"Fellow Daoist Chu must be learning alchemy recently."

"That's right."

Qin Shan smiled slightly, "It's not difficult to get started with the art of alchemy. The difficulty lies in the back, because all kinds of high-level alchemy recipes are controlled by major forces, and they will not let the alchemy recipes leak out."

"Fellow Daoist Qin, just say it bluntly. Chu doesn't like to beat around the bush." ​​Chu Ning interrupted Qin Shan's words directly.

"Ahem... Fellow Daoist Chu is so happy, so I'll just tell you frankly. I want to make a deal with Fellow Daoist Chu."

"What deal?"

"I have here a notebook from a second-grade alchemist, which I can give to fellow Taoist Chu. This notebook also contains the recipe for the Ning Yuan Dan."

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes. He was a second-grade alchemist. He was an alchemist who could refine foundation-building pills.

Alchemists are divided by grade. The lowest level is those like Chu Ning who are not high-grade. Then there are the first-grade alchemists who can refine the elixirs needed by monks in the Qi Condensation Stage. The higher ones are those who can refine the elixirs needed by foundation-building monks. A second-grade alchemist of medicine.

Each product corresponds to the pills needed by monks in each realm.

In the entire Wenjin City, there is only one third-grade alchemy master, the alchemy elder of the Wenjin Sect.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Sell me ten years of life."

Chu Ning's expression changed drastically, and she turned around and left without saying a word.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, don't be anxious."

"Fellow Daoist Chu, since you have sold one year of longevity, you will not be over a hundred years old now. With your current level, you still have nearly a hundred years to live, so I only need one year."

Qin Shan was anxious when he saw Chu Ning turning around and leaving, and shouted quickly.

"To put it lightly, selling one year's life span was a decision I made after careful consideration. I regret it every day when I think about it. You still want me to sell ten years' life span, which is impossible!"

With an angry expression on his face, Chu Ning rolled his sleeves and said, "We don't have to talk about this anymore!"

"Fellow Daoist Chu, listen to my last words. If Friend Chu still insists on leaving, I will no longer stop him."

Brothers, don’t keep books. The current average number of subscribers is 7,000, and three chapters are updated every day. That means you need to have 21,000 chapters subscribed to not be able to unsubscribe.

However, the total number of subscriptions for the latest three chapters every day is less than 10,000. The more Jiudeng updates, the lower the average number of subscriptions will be.

I won’t recommend it if I order it once and the starting point is gone.

You can see that the time for chapter one in the early morning has slowly started to go back. This means that Jiu Deng is about to start saving manuscripts for updates. Don’t hesitate to subscribe. One chapter only costs 0.0012 Huaxi coins.
