I will survive with proficiency

Not long after the manor opened, Guan Xinyi would come to the manor from time to time, but seeing Chen Ping and Yu Lingchun living a life of shamelessness, she felt embarrassed to bother them again.

It takes less time to come slowly.

Yu Lingchun, who was originally lying down, sensed the uniqueness of the aura emanating from the heart of the spiritual veins, and then watched the manor flourish, rekindled the dream of everlasting life, and began to focus on practice again.

Yun Lingshan, on the other hand, is brewing pill patterns.

"Master, the aura here." Yun Lingshan hesitated to speak. After this period of time, she found that the aura in her quiet room was very unique and very beneficial to her practice.

But when he walked out of the quiet room and went outside the cave, this unique aura disappeared again.

She vaguely understood why her master let her live next door to him.

"It is a unique aura. The process of continuous release is the process of continuous consumption, so I controlled the scope to be relatively small." Chen Ping said calmly, and told her to keep it confidential.

"Thank you, Master." Yun Lingshan looked at Chen Ping and said gratefully.

In these years in Guancheng, all incidents have basically been done by oneself.

Although Senior Sister Guan takes good care of them, the Guan family is a big family, and Senior Sister Guan's lineage has no say, so she can only help them with rules and the like.

So the information is not easy to come by.

Chen Ping nodded slightly:

"What number of pill lines have appeared?"

"The third way." Yun Lingshan said.

"Relax your mind and don't resist. Let me see how the quality is."

"Um."

Chen Ping pointed at the Dantian area of ​​her abdomen, slightly released the Nascent Soul Qi with divine consciousness, and then withdrew the Qi for a while.

The quality of Dan Wen is neither too good nor too bad.

Looks quite decent.

Chen Ping took out a few bottles of nameless wine, a beast scroll on how to take it, and a list of spiritual materials, and handed them to her:

"You can start taking this spiritual wine from now on, which can improve the quality of the pill pattern to a certain extent."

"The list of spiritual materials is the list of spiritual materials required for this kind of spiritual wine. You can go to Ronghua City to buy some when you have time, and I will help you brew some."

Unnamed wine improves the quality of Danwen.

Tao Yun accelerates the formation of elixir pattern.

The Taoist rhyme here is abundant, but it is only weaker than the training platform where the Taoist rhyme is highly concentrated in the Tianyin Sect Palace at the Dome Ruins. There is no need to go to a special training place to cultivate the elixir pattern.

"Thank you, Master, Lingshan." Yun Lingshan took the spirit wine with slightly moist eyes.

one year later.

After setting up the alchemy furnace in one of the rooms, Chen Ping walked out of Chen Mansion and took a look at the scenery outside.

It flew out with a whoosh.

Soon we arrived at the Guan family's training place - the Suspended Guan Palace.

After the notification, they entered the floating island where Guan Xinyi's lineage was located.

"Mr. Chen, unfortunately my Miss Guan Xinyi is not on the island. Will Mr. Chen stay here for a few days to continue waiting? Or do you need me to send a message?" A housekeeper said respectfully.

Chen Ping responded:

"I'm not here to see Senior Sister Guan this time, but to see Uncle Guan Dayan. I don't know if Uncle Guan is at home. Could you please help me, fellow Taoist, to inform you."

"Master Chen is here to see the Lord of Guam?" The housekeeper was slightly startled.

"That's right."

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I don't know whether the island owner is on the island later. I will come as soon as I go." The housekeeper said politely.

In fact, the butler knew that the island owner was on the floating island, but he was not sure whether the island owner would receive Chen Ping, so he was careless.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist." Chen Ping said calmly.

After a while, the housekeeper came back and found out that the owner of the family was on the floating island and could go in for a chat.

"It turns out to be nephew Chen Xian, come in and sit down. Little Ye Zi, we have a guest, pour Wushan Spirit Tea for nephew Chen Xian." Guan Xinyi's father Guan Dayan waved.

The tone and expression were impeccable.

But there was obviously not much enthusiasm.

He was not familiar with Chen Ping.

The only information still comes from Guan Xinyi's introduction. Especially after Chen Ping became the owner of Yishui Manor, he slowly faded out of the Guan family's sight.

In the living room, after a brief exchange of greetings, Chen Ping directly stated his purpose:

"Uncle Guan, my nephew is here to discuss a cooperation with the Guan family."

When he first came to the Guan family to cultivate immortals in the floating city, Guan Xinyi took Chen Ping to visit the key figures in their lineage. The most important figure among them was Guan Xinyi's father Guan Dayan.

Guan Dayan is the family's alchemy elder.

He doesn't care about family affairs and decisions, but he has the power of life and death over the family's alchemy affairs.

"Oh? What cooperation does nephew Chen Xian want to do with my Guan family?" Guan Dayan looked at Chen Ping with interest.

Chen Ping said bluntly:

"I can serve as the Guan family's external alchemist and refine elixirs for the Guan family on a regular basis."

This mode is equivalent to external Guanjia tasks.

Just sign a task agreement.

There is no need to become a vassal of the Guan family in terms of status.

Guan Dayan was a little curious, but he had never heard that Guan Xinyi said that Chen Ping could make alchemy, so he was very interested:

"What elixir does nephew Chen Xian make?"

"Dishenhua Yingdan." Chen Ping said calmly.

Actually, no.

Mainly because there is no prescription.

But after research, the Dishen Huaying Dan is the most suitable elixir for him to use to seek opportunities.

Because the Cangqing Ancient World is rich in spiritual energy and Taoist charm, there are many Golden Pill monks here, and the demand for the Soul-Restraining Infant Pill is very high.

But this kind of elixir is difficult to refine, and the elixir yield rate is very low.

And the raw materials are difficult to collect.

This also makes this kind of elixir almost impossible to find in Guancheng.

"The demand is huge, it is difficult to refine, and the raw materials are hard to find" - this is a technical barrier that blocks most alchemists from the door.

It constitutes a natural good condition for Chen Ping to make alchemy.

Guan Dayan doesn't have any mood swings. He has been in charge of the Guan family's alchemy affairs for many years. What kind of alchemist has he not seen? There are several alchemists on the floating island who can refine the Infant Transformation Pill.

Guan Dayan put down his tea cup and said with a smile:

"What's the rate of pill formation?"

"If you only pursue one grain per furnace, it can reach 70%."

There are some secret techniques that allow you to sacrifice the quantity of elixirs in each furnace to increase the rate of elixir production and avoid the situation of no pills being harvested.

"Seventy percent?" Guan Dayan's tea-drinking hand stopped, and his thick eyebrows and eyes brightened a bit.

"Yes, 70%." Chen Ping nodded.

This data is also not said casually.

But I did some research.

In the human world, the success rate of an alchemist's refining the Soul Transformation Infant Pill is usually 20-30%, and a good alchemist will be better. The Dao Yun here is better, but unfortunately there are fewer spiritual materials, and the alchemists have to hone their alchemy skills less frequently, so the elixir-making rate is not much higher than in the human world, generally 40-50%, or even 60%.

70%, should be considered outstanding.

But it is not as dazzling as those genius alchemists who are 80% or 90%, or who can guarantee that every furnace will produce two pills.

Not to be remembered too much.

Guan Dayan became interested and said loudly behind him:

"Little Ye Zi, what's the matter with you? I told you that today's guest is nephew Chen Xian. What kind of Wushan spiritual tea are you serving? Is it high quality? I want you to order Yanquan spiritual tea."

Turning to look at Chen Ping, he smiled and asked again:

"How's the quality?"

"It can reach high-quality products." Chen Ping said calmly.

"Up to quality?" Guan Dayan straightened his waist subconsciously.

"That's right." Chen Ping showed confidence.

There is no such thing as lines in Dishen Huaying Dan, but according to its potency, the quality of the pill's surface, etc., it can be divided into:

inferior product,

Defective goods,

Good product,

Boutique,

Excellent product,

Supreme immortality.

The best products are the kind that can only be found but cannot be obtained. Not only do they require skills, but they are also extremely demanding on the quality of the spiritual materials.

Even if Chen Ping reaches the full level of alchemy, he may not be able to produce the supreme immortal product.

Most of the alchemists in the Cangqing Ancient World, in pursuit of the rate of elixir production, mostly hover around the level of good quality.

Boutique is rare quality.

If you can ensure that the quality of the elixir reaches the high-quality level while ensuring a 70% elixir yield rate, then this alchemist will be worth hiring.

Among the current alchemists of the Guan family, few can have this guarantee.

Moreover, alchemists also need to practice. Monks at the Golden Pill and Nascent Soul level may spend decades in seclusion.

It would never hurt to have a few more alchemists in the family.

"I asked you, little Ye Zi, what's the matter with you? Nephew Chen Xian is here today, and you're serving Yanquan Lingcha? Those who don't know think that I'm being stingy while waiting for the Guan family to serve Dongmen Lingcha, so hurry up and change." Guan Dayan scolded Xiao Yezi who had just brewed Yanquan Lingcha.

He looked back at Chen Ping and said:

"The magical material of the Infant Transformation Pill is not easy to come by. The Guan family needs to be particularly rigorous when selecting the alchemist. If nephew Chen Xian can achieve a 70% elixir success rate and guarantee high-quality products, he will naturally be qualified to take over the alchemy of my Guan family. Task."

"But what I say is unfounded. I would like to ask nephew Chen Xian to make a furnace on this island to prove it."

"how?"

This Guan Dayan is quite an old fox.

Not easy to fool.

Chen Ping looked embarrassed.

"Isn't it convenient for Nephew Chen to show it? Don't worry Nephew, we can only watch from a distance, not up close. The Guan family still has this reputation." Guan Dayan thought that Chen Ping was worried that his alchemy inheritance would be stolen by others.

Chen Ping shook his head and said bitterly:

"Junior is not worried about this."

"only."

"When I was in the human world, I studied with a top alchemy master in a large sect to make this kind of elixir. I could make alchemy contributions to the sect all the year round."

"Unfortunately, when I walked the Lingxi Corridor decades ago, I was not well prepared, and my consciousness was damaged, and I forgot the memory of my alchemy skills."

"I came to see Uncle Guan this time because I also wanted to observe your mansion's elixir recipe in order to awaken my memory."

Guan Dayan's mouth twitched when he heard this.

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether what Chen Ping said was true or false.

But he couldn't figure out the reason if it was 'fake'?

Although the formula of Huaying Dan is valuable, it is only valuable to casual cultivators who have no inheritance.

At least the four major families in Wei and some of the most prominent sects all have the inheritance of the Infant Transformation Pill.

It is completely unnecessary to say that Chen Ping is the work of these large sects or families.

The Guan family's alchemy inheritance is no better than the others.

If Chen Ping is the work of a small sect, or just a casual cultivator who wants to defraud the elixir, how can the small sect or the casual cultivators dare to disturb Tai Sui?

How dare you come to Huashen Family to cheat?

"Nephew Chen, I'm afraid this is inconvenient. To be honest with Nephew Chen, even those alchemists who have taken on certain elixir refining tasks in the Guan family have no chance to see the Guan family's elixir recipes and craftsmanship."

Subtext: Not to mention monks like Chen Xiannephew who have not yet demonstrated their talents.

"I'm afraid Nephew Chen Xian will be disappointed at this point." Guan Dayan shook his head.

Chen Ping nodded:

"I understand, but since it's inconvenient, forget it. I'll try my luck with other alchemy forces."

"To be honest, Uncle Guan, although I am an alchemist, I can only refine the third-level elixirs for the Infant Transformation Pill. I have no talent for other elixirs. Alas, if I want to survive now, I can only find a way to seek refuge with others. The alchemy forces get the elixir recipe."

Guan Dayan's heart tightened.

If what Chen Ping said is true, then Chen Ping is indeed worth winning over.

Not to mention the economic benefits, there are so many Jindan monks in the Guan family who are in desperate need of the Soul-Processing Infant Pill.

Dishenhuayingdan can improve the success rate of transforming into a baby.

If this can give the Guan family a few more Nascent Soul cultivators and a pill recipe, it seems to be nothing.

"Nephew Chen Xian, don't you want to sit here anymore?" Guan Dayan persuaded him to stay.

Chen Ping stood up and said goodbye:

"Uncle Guan is busy with his affairs, so I won't disturb Uncle Guan."

Rejecting Guan Dayan's offer to stay, he said goodbye and left the floating island.

These words are enough, Guan Dayan is willing to cooperate and wait and see what happens.

As for Guan Dayan, if cooperation fails, he is worried that Chen Ping will cooperate with other forces to enhance the strength of other forces, and then kill him?

Chen Ping is not worried about this.

The reason why it took him more than a year to come over to discuss cooperation was that he used this time to get to know Guan Dayan in detail.

I know that he is not the kind of person who will perish together.

Just came over to propose cooperation.

This is one of them.

On the other hand, this is the confidence derived from one's own cultivation.

Now that he is on the fifth level of his Nascent Soul, he has a lot of ways to save his life. As long as he doesn't take action from the Avatar, it will not be easy for other Nascent Souls to easily deal with him.

On the contrary, if we cooperate.

Properly demonstrating one's own value can also gain the blessing of the Guan family, which to a certain extent can eliminate the evil thoughts of other tribulation cultivators.

You can accomplish multiple things with one stone.

Return to Yishui Manor and continue practicing.

The next step is to endure it and see what price Guan Dayan is willing to pay for the family's golden elixir monk.

The conditions of 70% elixir formation rate + premium quality are still very attractive.

A 70% elixir-making rate—a good alchemist from the Guan family can achieve this. Premium quality - some alchemists in the Guan family can also achieve this.

But superimposing the two is not easy to achieve.

If Guan Dayan really fails to cooperate, then he can only get the recipe for Huaying Dan through other means.

There are also some alchemists in Ronghua City who can refine the Infant Transformation Pill, but the price to pay for the pill recipe through this method may be even greater.

But the calamity of my Nascent Soul may come when, and after entering the late Nascent Soul stage, I will need more unique places to practice. In exchange for these opportunities, it is acceptable to bear some risks at a not too high price. of.

A few days later.

To Chen Ping's surprise, there was no news about Guan Dayan, but Guan Xinyi appeared at Yishui Manor.

"Junior brother can also make elixirs?" In the cave, Guan Xinyi looked at Chen Ping with confusion.

Subtext: Weren't you a talisman master before?

"To be precise, I am not a real alchemist, I only know how to refine infant elixirs. Maybe due to some unknown chance, I just have a unique understanding of this elixir." Chen Ping made it up casually:

"Did your father tell you?"

"Can you not say it? You are my junior brother, and he wants to know your character." Guan Xinyi gave his junior brother a sideways glance.

"Then did Senior Sister have a nice word for me?" Chen Ping smiled.

"No, everything I said was bad." Guan Xinyi snorted, a little dissatisfied that Chen Ping went to the Guan family to look for cooperation but didn't tell her first.

Having said that.

But he took out a jade slip from his arms:

"I'll help you get the prescription. But there are strict conditions."

"What conditions?"

Chen Ping was not in a hurry to pick up the jade slip.

Guan Dayan learned about Chen Ping through his daughter. Unexpectedly, his daughter praised Chen Ping to the sky, saying that his character was absolutely reliable and trustworthy.

Moreover, his daughter also said that Chen Ping was already an alchemist during the foundation building stage.

After weighing it again and again, Guan Dayan felt that he could try cooperation.

However, given that Chen Ping’s conditions for seeking elixirs were rather unique.

Corresponding requirements were also put forward:

——Signed an agreement with the Guan family. If Chen Ping's future Huaying Dan refining skills do not reach the '70% pill yield rate and high-quality quality', then Chen Ping will need to pay an additional price, which is to serve as the guest minister of the Guan family for two hundred years. , let the Guan family arrange the tasks of entering and leaving the ruins.

——Chen Ping is not allowed to leave the Guan family territory before his skills reach the ‘70% rate of elixir formation, high-quality quality’.

——The Guan family will not supervise or participate in Chen Ping's alchemy process from now on. Instead, they adopt a fixed-price transaction method, that is, for every ten furnaces of spiritual materials provided, the Guan family needs 8 high-quality Dishenhua Yingdan. If Chen Ping fails to refine it, he needs to find a way to buy high-quality Ying Dan from the market to make up for the Guan family's losses.

——Every time an elixir is delivered, a meritorious deed will be recorded, and the exchange value is the same as other alchemists.

——If you refine an elixir with a quality higher than 'fine quality', you can exchange it for additional meritorious deeds and exchange for additional resources from the Guan family.

——Guarantee that the Guan family’s elixir recipe will never be spread to outsiders.

——Refining at least 50 furnaces for the Guan family.

After listening to what Guan Xinyi said, Chen Ping felt reassured.

These conditions are nothing.

For him, there is no such thing as 70% or high-quality products.

His elixir formation rate must be 100%.

As long as the spiritual material is good enough, the quality must be the best.

And one batch can produce 2 pills.

This means that for every 10 furnaces of elixirs refined, you can keep 12 Infant Transformation Pills.

These elixirs can give you a lot of extra opportunities that others only get by going in and out of the secret realm and working hard to get them.

"Are your conditions too harsh? Who dares to take on this?" Chen Ping said 'speechlessly'.

"Who said you were suspected of cheating on the pill prescription? This is already the limit of the benefits that senior sister can fight for you. The old man said at that time that you would provide 10 high-quality Dishenhua Yingdan for every ten batches of spiritual materials." Guan Xinyi said happily. .

"Uncle Guan is not a son of a man." Chen Ping was 'very angry'.

He slammed the table angrily.

In the end, although Chen Ping was extremely worried about not being able to complete the task, considering that there was no other more suitable way to make a living, he could only bear the harsh conditions of the Guan family and agreed.

He also told Guan Xinyi that in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, only Guan Xinyi and Guan Dayan knew about his undertaking the Guan family's alchemy task.

Do not let third parties know.

For this kind of casual cultivator who takes on the tasks of the Guan family but is not a guest of the Guan family, the Guan family hopes that these casual cultivators will keep a low profile to avoid being poached by other alchemy forces.

Therefore, this request is nothing to the Guan family.

Even if you want it.

"Hey, I'm afraid I sold myself to the Guan family." Chen Ping said bitterly.

Guan Xinyi looked disgusted:

"You can pull it down."

"Others don't know you, but senior sister doesn't know you yet? From what you said about the 70% success rate, you have at least a 90% success rate. Maybe you can occasionally produce two pills in one batch."

"You're in trouble."

Chen Ping:? ? ?

"Senior sister, have you misunderstood me? I am a talisman master." Chen Ping said speechlessly.

Guan Xinyi laughed.

I ignored Chen Ping and took Yu Lingchun and Yun Lingshan to chat.

Chen Ping returned to the quiet room, activated the formation to block the spiritual consciousness outside, and opened the elixir brought by Guan Xinyi.

The long-awaited recipe was finally obtained.
