Immortal Refiner

Li Qing was extremely tempted by the rich opportunities hidden in the Tianguang Secret Realm, and even felt a little impatient.

However, there were still some years before the opening of the Tianguang Secret Realm. Even if he was excited, he had to suppress this excitement.

Before that, he had to find ways to improve his strength as much as possible. After all, facing the existence of several other powerful tribes in the God Transformation Stage, Li Qing did not think he could have much advantage.

"Other tribes will definitely send the existence of the late God Transformation Stage to enter the Tianguang Secret Realm. After all, it only restricts the existence below the Void Refining Stage."

"And my cultivation is still a long way from the middle stage of the God Transformation Stage. Without a magic pill, it is difficult to improve in a short time."

"I can only start from other aspects and enhance my combat power as much as possible."

Li Qing whispered to himself, his eyes kept flashing, thinking about what way he could improve his strength in the near future.

As for refining treasures, there are limited spiritual materials on hand, only one piece of Ghost Eye Purple Gold, which is not enough to refine a complete spiritual treasure.

"The Luoyu Chi fruit planted in Tianmiao Immortal Mansion is already ripe. Although it is not old, it can be used as medicine."

As he said this, Li Qing flashed and entered a medicinal field in Tianmiao Immortal Mansion.

The Luoyu Chi fruit he planted with his own hands has already produced abundant and plump fruits, each of which is bright red and full of vitality.

"I also have the recipe for Yugu Dan, and the steps for refining the pill are very detailed. At present, some auxiliary medicines are still lacking."

As he said this, Li Qing had already decided that he planned to refine Yugu Dan by himself. After all, there are many Luoyu Chi fruits in these medicinal fields at present, and he has enough tolerance to try.

With this in mind, Li Qing picked the Luoyu Chi fruits one by one by hand. Soon, the Luoyu Chi fruits in the entire medicinal field were picked up, and it became bare.

The spiritual plant did not die after the fruit was picked, but became dormant, waiting for the next hundred years, or even less than that, to mature again and produce fruits.

"This time, a total of 223 Luoyu Red Fruits were harvested, which is a considerable number. It is a great harvest."

Li Qing smacked his lips and then left Tianmiao Immortal Mansion.

In order to refine the Jade Bone Pill, in addition to Luoyu Red Fruit, several other auxiliary medicines are needed.

Fortunately, these auxiliary medicines are not rare and difficult to find. They can be easily gathered in Xuan Gu City, and even do not cost many contribution points.

In this way, Li Qing left the cave and came to the Immortal Cultivator Market in the city.

"Senior, this is the branch of old Huangjing. Although it is not a rare thing, our store is already selling it at the lowest price. You can't find a place in the whole city that sells it cheaper than our store!"

In a spiritual medicine shop called Bencao Pavilion, Li Qing frowned and held a rhizome full of yellow leaves in his hand.

This is the last spiritual medicine he lacks to refine the Jade Bone Pill. The other types are easily collected, but this one seems to be a bit expensive.

Each one requires 300 merit points, and spiritual stones are not accepted for trading unless they are top-grade spiritual stones.

At present, after a search, Li Qing has only a little over 7,000 merit points left. If all of them are used to buy branches and leaves of old Huangjing, he can only buy about 20.

And to refine a furnace of Jade Bone Pill, you need a branch of old Huangjing as an auxiliary medicine. Even if you buy all of them, you can only refine more than 20 furnaces at most.

"This old Huangjing branch is obviously not a rare thing, but why is the price so high?" Li Qing frowned and asked.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Senior, if it was hundreds of years ago, this old Huangjing branch was indeed cheap and cost-effective, but an alchemist restored a broken ancient recipe."

"And the auxiliary medicine needed in this ancient recipe is this old Huangjing branch. The elixir made from that recipe can strengthen the body and is favored by many body refiners!"

Hearing this, Li Qing understood for a while and finally knew why this seemingly ordinary old Huangjing branch was so expensive.

In the end, he pinched his nose and spent all his merit points on buying 26 old Huangjing branches.

At this point, the merit he earned some time ago was only less than 100 points, which can be said to be penniless.

"I can make 26 furnaces of Jade Bone Pills, and I hope I can refine about 10 furnaces." Li Qing sighed and returned to the cave.

After returning to the cave, after a day of meditation, Li Qing took out the Great Sun Life-Destroying Furnace.

This treasure furnace is no longer as black as before, but now it is shining with light, and the thirty-six golden fire patterns inside are close to the inner wall of the furnace.

The whole furnace is constantly switching between the two states of destruction and vitality. The former is a killing tool, and the latter is a healing holy object.

Bang!

Li Qing hit the Great Sun Life-Destroying Furnace several times in succession, and a stream of true essence fell into the furnace, and soon the shape of the whole treasure furnace was stabilized in the state of vitality.

Then, a golden spiritual fire as bright as the sun flickered in the furnace, and Li Qing's cave was illuminated.

Under the burning of the golden flame of the sun, the Life-Destroying Furnace soon became warm, and a trace of vitality continued to overflow.

"I don't know how long it has been since I last made an elixir myself, and now my hands are a lot less skilled."

"At that time, Senior Bailing taught me step by step, but now I have to rely on myself."

It's not that he hasn't thought about spending merit points to ask the old man Jian in the city to make the elixir, but that may lead to the leakage of the Jade Bone Pill recipe, which will also increase the prices of other auxiliary medicines.

Moreover, if Old Man Jian is entrusted to refine a furnace of elixir, it will require 3,000 merit points, which is quite costly.

If it weren't for an elixir that was urgently needed like the Dust Falling Pill, Li Qing still wanted to refine it himself.

After all, to develop a pair of Jade Bones, just relying on a dozen or twenty Jade Bone Pills is far from enough, and you need to take them for a long time.

If you ask the alchemist to take action every time, the price will be too high.

As the temperature of the life-killing furnace came up, Li Qing strictly followed the steps in the elixir recipe and sent the elixirs into the life-killing furnace.

The only good news is that Li Qing is now a master who plays with fire. The spiritual fire of heaven and earth is under his control, almost like an arm.

The most critical link in refining medicine is controlling the heat, and Li Qing can do this very well.

"In the first half, the essence of several auxiliary medicines was extracted by intense fire, and the essence that formed the elixir liquid was continued to be refined in the furnace."

"Finally, add the Luo Yuchi Fruit. When the fruit bursts open, turn to a slow fire and simmer slowly, quenching the essence of the Luo Yuchi Fruit into the liquid little by little."

"."

The steps for refining the elixir were very detailed. Li Qing had a strong spiritual consciousness and strictly followed every step of the elixir to refine it. He even felt that he was very handy.

After a long time, the stimulation of the golden sun flame was weakened to the extreme, and finally some residual heat was left to catalyze the liquid.

Finally, when a large ball of medicinal liquid in the furnace was about to solidify, Li Qing's mind suddenly moved.

Buzz!

The life-killing furnace trembled slightly, and the large group of elixir essence began to differentiate. This was the most critical step of dividing the elixir.

Li Qing was very bold and divided it into nine, directly aiming for the nine pills in the pot.

Of course, his expectation was that two or three of the last batch would be enough, so that he could recover his losses.

"The last step, close the furnace, Wen Dan!"

Li Qing whispered, pointed with a single finger, and sealed the entire life-killing furnace with his strong true energy.

This step is the key to making the elixir. The last nine elixirs will completely absorb all the spirituality and finally condense into pills.

About half a quarter of an hour later, Li Qing slowly removed the true essence sealed on the life-killing furnace.

He couldn't wait to look around, wanting to see how many pills he had made during his first alchemy refining.

But after seeing the situation at the bottom of the furnace, the expectant expression on Li Qing's face slowly solidified.

This result made him feel greatly disappointed. In the life-killing furnace, six of the nine pills completely collapsed into waste, and the remaining three pills were extremely dim, with almost no trace of luster.

There is no doubt that if these three pills are eaten, the toxicity will be much stronger than the medicinal properties. I am afraid they are not Jade Bone Pills, they should be called Bone Erosion Pills.

Three pills were made in one furnace, but they were all useless pills!

"My alchemy qualifications are really that bad?"

"Obviously, there were no mistakes in following the steps of the recipe. At most, the technique was a little rough. Why is there such a big gap?"

Li Qing's scalp felt slightly numb, because he hadn't even discovered his problem yet, which made him very frustrated.

This time, there was no outsider to give guidance. Even if there was a prescription for elixirs, he could only rely on him to explore and slowly make mistakes.

Refining alchemy is really quite different from refining weapons. It is not enough to just control the heat.

Li Qing slowly calmed down his anxious mood. He carefully recalled every step he had taken in refining the elixir, and then compared it with what was stated in the elixir recipe.

In his mind, some of the words and deeds of Senior Bai Ling slowly emerged.

Finally, he found some shortcomings in his previous refining and could make more improvements and improvements.

"My steps are indeed correct, but the technique is indeed too rough. After all, alchemy is a delicate job, and it cannot be as broad and open as hammering weapons."

"We have to make some improvements next, and they can't be done overnight."

In fact, Li Qing has seen many alchemy inheritances over the years. Although he rarely practices them, he has a lot of corresponding knowledge.

Now, he put this knowledge into practice and began to refine the second batch of Jade Bone Pill.

The spiritual fire is boiling, and the cave is constantly shining with light.

Li Qing spent two days refining this time, which was much longer than the first time.

It is still refined according to the steps on the elixir recipe, but the technique is much more detailed, no longer so rough, and very calm.

Two days later, Li Qing once again opened the life-killing furnace and looked at the nine pills in the furnace.

This time, the result finally no longer disappointed him, and Li Qing's eyes showed surprise.

"There are five completed elixirs, but only one useless elixir!"

With a slight movement of thought, four round and full elixirs with a hint of light red floated out from the furnace and landed in Li Qing's palm.

The fragrance of the elixir penetrated Li Qing's nostrils, and the joy on his face couldn't be stopped. He was so excited that he couldn't help but grin.

Four jade bone pills were made in one furnace. Although there was some gap between the pill recipe and the pill recipe, Li Qing was satisfied enough.

In the second furnace, he successfully produced a complete Jade Bone Pill, which actually exceeded his expectations.

"Keep going, keep refining!" Li Qing took a deep breath, cleared the waste pills and pill residue, and continued to refine the third furnace.

Time passed in a flash, and more than 30 days passed in a blink of an eye.

After successfully refining a furnace of Jade Bone Pills, in order to grasp this hard-won feeling, Li Qing opened the furnace in the cave seventeen times in one breath!

His soul was very strong, and he was extremely energetic, without any time to rest.

Among these seventeen furnaces, four furnaces failed to be refined, and there was even one furnace that almost exploded, but he saved it.

Thirteen furnaces, he harvested a total of seventy-four Jade Bone Pills, and now he has seventy-eight Jade Bone Pills on hand.

Just when Li Qing wanted to continue refining, his soul felt a sharp pain, which was close to the limit.

Even if his soul was as strong as a cultivator in the late stage of the transformation of the spirit, he would inevitably feel tired under such high-intensity concentration.

After all, there is a limit!

"Huh! Alchemy is really not an easy job." Li Qing rubbed his eyebrows and tried to relax himself.

In fact, he didn't know that there were very few alchemists who could make 19 furnaces of pills in one go. This was a very crazy behavior.

Generally speaking, after making a furnace of pills, alchemists would choose to rest for a day or two to adjust their state and restore their consciousness before continuing to make pills.

But Li Qing didn't know this at all. He knew very little about alchemy and just treated it as his own refining. As long as his soul didn't reach the limit, he would keep refining.

"I've gained a lot. It's time to take a break. Nearly eighty Jade Bone Pills are enough for me to eat for a while."

"After that, I will continue to collect branches and leaves of Old Huangjing. At present, I only lack this spiritual medicine. I can continue to refine pills until I refine a body of jade bones."

"No, I can even sell some Jade Bone Pills in exchange for merit points in the future. There are so many body refiners in Xuan Ancient City. This pill will definitely sell well."

"Even for the fifth-level body refiners, it will have a significant effect."

"This pill cannot improve their physical skills, but it can strengthen their bones at the original level of body refinement. It should be very popular."

Li Qing kept talking to himself and had already determined some plans for the future.

Xuan Ancient City is located in a remote area. Li Qing is sure that there is no recipe for Jade Bone Pills here. I think it is caused by the fact that there are few cultivators who ascended from the lower realm and there are not many exchanges with the human race in other continents.

So the Jade Bone Pills he brought from the lower realm can become his exclusive means of making money.

"If it is in a continent where humans gather, such as Tianyuan Continent, I am afraid that the sales of this Jade Bone Pill will not be so good. Even if there is no similar pill formula, there will be better alternatives."

"The foundation of the human race in the spiritual world must not be underestimated."

He is very self-aware of this and does not dare to be too ambitious. He thinks that he can practice without worries with this kind of Jade Bone Pill.

With this in mind, Li Qing took out a Jade Bone Pill and swallowed it in one breath.

This pill has a slightly sweet taste. It does not melt in the mouth, but falls into the stomach and slowly releases the medicinal power.

Soon, Li Qing felt a little icy feeling coming from the muscles and bones in his body.
