Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

"Here, breakfast."

Passing a glutinous rice cake wrapped in green leaves to Luo Chen, Gu Caiyi sat down beside her.

Luo Chen took the hot glutinous rice cake and took a bite of it beautifully.

"typical!"

"I never knew that glutinous rice cakes made from Lingmi could be so delicious."

Looking at Luo Chen who was feasting, Gu Caiyi smiled lightly, "Isn't this inspired by your popcorn, those who follow the trend are starting to think about the most common Lingmi."

Luo Chen chuckled and enjoyed the aura-filled breakfast.

Once human beings refine qi, their bodies are in a process of passive transformation.

In this process, in addition to practice, food supplement is also a key.

The so-called bigu cultivation by monks is usually done by high-ranking monks in retreat.

But in fact, low-level monks try not to fast, because in the Qi refining stage, in addition to refining the external spiritual energy, they will also refine their own body essence.

If the essence is insufficient, it will damage the origin.

It is also common for people who suffer five fatigue and seven injuries from qi refining.

But there is also a saying about eating. Ordinary whole grains are not the first choice for monks.

Eating too much of those things will instead fill the body with impurities and affect the process of refining and transforming qi.

Spiritual rice, spiritual vegetables, monster meat, spiritual wine, and spiritual tea all became popular naturally.

Even when Luo Chen was at his worst, he would grit his teeth and buy the worst Lingmi, in order not to let his body hinder his practice.

Today, Dahefang City, in terms of spiritual food, is developing like a raging fire.

Originally, there were normal places like Lingyuanzhai and Zhongding's house.

Later, Luo Chen tinkered with a series of snacks containing traces of spiritual energy, which were very popular.

Stimulated, those casual cultivators also used their brains one after another to create many small foods that contain spiritual energy.

I have to say that there is quite a market for it. Cultivators are tired of eating spirit rice, and they are still willing to spend some spirit stones to improve the taste.

Luo Chen, for example, likes the food sold in Baishi Square very much, and often asks Gu Caiyi and the others to bring them over in the morning.

Of course, he will also give Lingshi, and he can't go whoring for nothing.

Even the shot is relatively generous, and those who help him bring breakfast can also enjoy it together.

Gu Caiyi used to be the same as ordinary monks, usually only eating one meal of spiritual rice a day.

But now following Luo Chen, he is also getting used to having breakfast.

She lay there, thinking about some spiritual matters.

Suddenly, I smelled a fragrance.

"Hey, Luo Chen, did you put on some rouge? Why is there a scent on your body?"

"I'm not a woman, why should I wear rouge!"

Gu Caiyi sniffed her nose, and smelled it carefully, the fragrance emanating from Luo Chen's body was vaguely present.

Fierce as fire, yet gentle as jade.

It's very contradictory, but it's quite comfortable for her between the nostrils.

Luo Chen paused, and suddenly said: "It should be the alchemy left by my alchemy all the year round, is this smell strong?"

"It's not strong, you have to get close and smell it carefully."

Gu Caiyi sniffed, feeling a little refreshed.

Why didn't I notice before, where is the alchemy on Luo Chen's body?

Hearing what she said, Luo Chen was relieved.

It's normal for an alchemist to have a bit of alchemy, as long as it's not too strong, it's good to leave a deep impression on people.

However, if you want to do some shameful things in the future, it is better to cover up one or two things, or just clear them up.

After breakfast, those internal monks also gradually arrived at Dantang.

A new day of alchemy work is about to start again.

However, under the leadership of Gu Caiyi, these people have no complaints.

Beginning this month, the higher salary promised by Hall Master Luo Chen has been approved by the gang.

Each of them, according to their respective positions, has more or less benefits.

And if you work in the Broshan Gang for a long time, you will also increase your merit points.

After accumulating enough merit points, you can go to the Honor Hall to exchange for some low-level spells.

Although it is only a common item, if you go out to buy it yourself, you will have to spend a lot of expensive spirit stones.

It is very cheap to exchange internally.

It is also due to the improvement in salary that these people are more passionate about their work than before, and they are more attentive than before when assisting Luo Chen in alchemy.

After all, Luo Chen casually said once that he wanted to promote two managers like Qu Hancheng from among the medicine apprentices and alchemists.

One day later, alchemy ended.

Today's success rate is not high, only about 40%.

Of course, that was only what the internal monks saw.

The real success rate is actually 50%.

The extra 10% was secretly snatched by Luo Chen.

Those are the twenty top-grade chalcedony pills that he specially refined, and their potency is comparable to that of nourishing qi pills.

Although it is not as good as the Huachen Pill that is mainly taken today, it has no drug resistance!

Luo Chen was not in a hurry to refine it, so he ate it, letting the medicine power fill his meridians and absorb it automatically.

In this way, no matter whether he is concocting alchemy or casting spells, his spiritual power can always be kept full.

Moreover, Changchun Kungfu's automatic energy return feature has always been in effect.

Luo Chen also wanted to try, if the spiritual power in his body was kept full, would he be passively purified.

In fact, Luo Chen also thinks sometimes.

What will happen if his greedy behavior is discovered?

After thinking about it many times, Luo Chen came to a conclusion.

what can i do

As long as it's not too much, Mi Shuhua will just ignore it if he knows it.

Could it be possible to put him in a dungeon?

At most, give a warning, then restrain yourself a little, and then revert to the old ways after a while.

Therefore, Luo Chen is now filling his own pockets, so he doesn't have any psychological burden.

After work, Luo Chen greeted Gu Caiyi and headed for the inner city.

As he left, Zhou Yuanli and several other bodyguards followed him tacitly.

These bodyguards did not disperse until they entered the safe inner city.

After they left, Luo Chen bid farewell to Gu Caiyi and began to wander around the inner city alone.

First went to Baicaotang.

Accompanied by Bai Meiling, Luo Chen met the new shopkeeper of Baicaotang.

unexpected!

The other party was not an old monk like Liu Hecai, but a foundation-building monk who looked very young.

Shouldn't such a talent stay in the sect and devote himself to further study, become the true biography of foundation establishment, and then work hard to form alchemy?

Or is it that the Yaowang Sect is so full of talents that the young Zhuji is even sent out to handle business casually?

The reason why the other party was willing to meet Luo Chen was that the previous shopkeeper Liu had said hello, saying that Dahe Fang had Luo Chen, a casual alchemist.

Alchemists are very rare.

It is even more curious to practice alchemists casually.

But after learning that Luo Chen was already serving the gang, the other party had no interest.

After reporting their names to each other, they waved their hands and asked Luo Chen to go and see by himself.

After buying some medicinal materials for Peiyuan Lingye and dozens of Tianyang fruits, Luo Chen said goodbye to Bai Meiling and went straight to Xianzhuju.

Xianzhuju, a store under Ailao Mountain, specializes in selling various building materials, ores, etc., and also collects resources.

After entering Xianzhuju, Luo Chen started wandering around inside.

Seeing him looking like he was about to take a stroll, the Ailao Mountain disciple of Xianzhuju didn't have the intention to come up to say hello.

There are too many of this casual practice.

After shopping for half a day, you may not be able to buy anything valuable.

"There is nothing to argue about, it must be their Jade Cauldron Sword Sect!"

"How can anyone be so stupid as to commit murder on their own territory?"

"Cut, there are too many things like this. Otherwise, how could Jade Cauldron Sword Sect have so many magic weapons auctioned at the auction?"

Listening to the chatting of the two disciples of Ailao Mountain who were in the late stage of Qi refining, Luo Chen started to gossip.

He thought that at the auction back then, the local Jiange, which represented Jianzong, did bring out many magic weapons for auction.

For example, the Tianyue Zijin Wheel that Mi Shuhua bought at a huge price is one of them.

In subsequent auctions, at least four magic weapons were sold!

He used to be curious, the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect was not a master of casting, so how could there be so many magic weapons.

I didn't expect to hear this kind of explanation from other sect disciples.

It's right to think about it carefully, Jianzong monks, after establishing the foundation, they will abandon most foreign objects and concentrate on sword pills.

The magical tools and treasures that casual cultivators regard as treasures are really indispensable to sword cultivators who respect "one sword breaks all spells".

If you get some magical treasures by accident, it is useless to keep them in your hands, and it is very reasonable to auction them off.

There may be some troubles in the auction in the hinterland of Yudingyu, but in a remote place like Dahefang, there will be no hand tails.

In this kind of place, the Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion is a proper overlord, and no one can provoke it.

In the ear, there was another conversation, quite a bit filled with righteous indignation.

"The injury on Uncle Fei Bowen's body was clearly caused by magic-level sword pills. There are many sword pills in the entire Jade Cauldron Domain, but the only one that can produce magic-level sword pills is Jianzong Jindan!"

"But Jianzong Jindan, why did you attack the foundation cultivator?"

"Then who knows, maybe he fell in love with the fan cage magic weapon of the uncle. It is said that the defensive magic weapon of the fan cage can also be used by sword cultivators."

"maybe!"

"Anyway, Jade Cauldron Sword Sect deceives people too much. My Zong Taishang elders came to ask for an explanation, and they were very arrogant. After the Taishang Elder returned to the sect, he was so angry that he scolded Jianzong, and even stopped several large shops of Jianzong. repair plan."

"Hey, our Ailao Mountain can't afford to offend Dazong Nascent Soul, isn't the Supreme Elder afraid of causing trouble if he does this?"

"Heh, you don't know about that. When the Jade Cauldron Domain was opened... that kid, do you want to buy something or not?"

Luo Chen froze for a moment, then smiled.

"Buy it, aren't you afraid of disturbing the chat between the two fellow daoists?"

"What do you want to buy, tell me quickly, we are closing."

Luo Chen pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Di Huo Sha, it is said that you have it here. But I have been looking for it on the shelf for a long time, but I can't find it."

The monk at Xianzhuju gave him a disdainful look.

"I don't know, how did the Earth Huosha get on the shelves, and how much do you want?"

...

...

Killing evil together, extremely vicious, foreign matter does not exist.

If there is an extremely vicious place, evil spirits will often be born.

If there is a corresponding evil spirit, there will be no foreign objects except the evil spirit.

For example, the evil spirit of the Yellow Spring is the place where the water of the second-order yellow spring gathers, and the evil spirit condensed over the years.

In that place, apart from Huangquan water, Huangquan Yinsha will take the initiative to destroy any foreign objects.

And the Huosha here is also the same.

It is a kind of evil spirit that will be born where a large number of earth fires exist.

Therefore, earth fire evil is often tolerant of foreign objects, extremely destructive, and belongs to masculine evil spirit.

But what a smart monk a monk is, if that kind of extremely destructive power is added to a magic weapon, its power will skyrocket several times.

Therefore, after years of research, generations of highly intelligent people have come up with many methods to remove, accommodate, and use evil spirits.

After all, no matter how awesome you say it, but one thing lowers one thing, there will always be things that are higher in grade than you and have attributes that restrain you.

Such as Earth Fire Sha, although it belongs to the Fire genus, but it lives in the mountains and rivers all year round, so it will naturally be restrained by the things of the earth.

Under the leadership of the Ailao Mountain disciple, Luo Chen saw the things stored in the ground fire.

A stone that looks like a honeycomb full of tiny holes.

"This is rock pumice, the companion of earth fire, one can hold ten strands of earth fire."

"If you want to buy Earth Fire Sha, you have to buy a pumice stone by the way. So, at this price..."

Fifty spirit stones!

Luo Chen was taken aback.

Earth Fire Sha is only the lowest level, the most common evil spirit, and its rank is only the first rank.

For only ten strands, he actually wanted to sell him fifty spirit stones!

Seeing Luo Chen's painful look, the monk smiled and said: "Of course, we will also teach you how to guide the evil spirit. You will definitely not lose money on this deal."

Hearing what he said, Luo Chen could barely accept it.

But after spending 50 yuan of spirit stones to buy Dihuo Sha, Luo Chen was still angry.

This Xianzhu residence in Ailao Mountain is also his mother's big profiteer.

Even if you sell things, you can also engage in bundled sales.

The ten wisps of Earth Huo Sha were actually sold together with rock pumice stones and the Evil Control Art.

...

After leaving Xianzhuju, Luo Chen settled the bill.

Ten wisps of earth fire evil require fifty spirit stones.

Tianyang fruit is relatively cheap, and the corresponding amount of Huosha can be bought, which is about ten spirit stones.

The Blood of the Explosive Ape, one of the three main ingredients of the Burning Blood Pill, is not cheap at all.

He hasn't bought it yet, but he also knows the corresponding price. Buying ten copies of Explosive Ape Demon Blood costs at least thirty spirit stones.

If you take the rest of the auxiliary materials, you can get about 20 yuan.

Calculated in this way, to collect ten main ingredients, at least one hundred and one low-grade spirit stones are needed.

It’s not that I don’t know, this calculation, the cost price is simply breaking through the sky.

The cost of one furnace requires eleven spirit stones to start!

As for other manpower and material resources, Luo Chen has not added the firewood for alchemy.

"The cost of Zhongmiao Pill and Chalcedony Pill is only five spirit stones. Why is the cost of Burning Blood Pill so high?"

"Could it be because of this Dan formula, which is the reason I deduced it?"

Luo Chen couldn't help thinking of Dan Fang going up.

Generally speaking, mature alchemy formulas have been deduced countless times by alchemy masters, and the main and auxiliary materials are all carefully selected.

The time it takes for this process may be ten years, one hundred years, or even one thousand years.

Therefore, the prices of the main and auxiliary materials in various prescriptions have been reduced to the lowest.

His burning blood pill formula is a bit tricky.

He deduced it through the second-order blood demon pill, and used the system to forcibly enter it.

Among them, there is no optimization, simplification of the process.

"If this is the case, it means that the Burning Blood Pill formula still has room for optimization."

"But with my current alchemy attainments, I have tried my best to deduce the alchemy formula that can be introduced. How can I optimize it?"

If the cost price is not lowered, the profit of the elixir will be very small.

Even if the effect is very good, it is only a first-order elixir after all.

The effect on high-level monks is not good, and low-level monks can't afford high prices, so the natural profit will be very small.

"Forget it, let's practice it first and then talk about it."

"If the effect is mediocre and it's not suitable for sale, use it yourself!"

Luo Chen sighed and made such a plan.

He doesn't intend to give up refining Burning Blood Pill, it's a first-order elixir anyway, what if there is a market for it?

Moreover, after refining the Burning Blood Pill and increasing his proficiency, the improvement of the Blood Fiend Pill can also have the effect that other mountain stones can attack jade.

After all, both come from the same source.

In the next few days, he gradually collected the rest of the auxiliary materials.

As for the Explosive Ape Demon Blood, he didn't buy it himself, but entrusted Duan Feng to buy it for him.

The reason why Duan Feng was asked to come forward was because it was reasonable for the other party to buy this kind of thing.

Explosive Ape Demon Blood is very suitable for refining a kind of tonic soup, which is quite good for those who are deficient in Qi and blood.

Those monks who often go to the Daoist forum to fight will often buy it to make soup.

Luo Chen had actually seen this kind of thing before.

When the eighteen monks were fighting to the death, Murong Qinglian boiled a tiger bone soup for Qin Liangchen to drink.

The tiger bone soup recipe is the kind of tonic soup mentioned above.

It's just that the main materials used are different, but the principle is the same.

After collecting the materials, Luo Chen was ready to start refining the Burning Blood Pill.

As for the refining place, he put it at home, in his own small alchemy room.

...

Boom!

With a muffled sound, the Four Elephant Cauldron landed on top of the fire pit.

Luo Chen frowned. The alchemy room in his home was too small, and after accommodating the one-foot-tall Four Elephant Cauldron, it seemed quite crowded.

But this is also impossible.

He couldn't blatantly put this kind of matter on the side of the Pill Hall of the Oblique Moon Valley.

Even if it is alchemy in the middle of the night, it is easy to be discovered by the monks of the Poshan Gang who are watching the night.

Therefore, I can only make alchemy in my own home.

With no one to help, Luo Chen started the chores of alchemy that he hadn't done for a long time.

It took a long time to heat the Four Elephants Cauldron, and firewood alone was not enough, so Luo Chen had to focus on two things, playing a series of fireballs from time to time.

It is also necessary to control the spiritual power, and not let the fireball technique be too powerful.

Fortunately, he has long been familiar with the flame art, and he is very skilled in manipulating flames.

While doing these tedious tasks, Luo Chen even thought about his current situation.

Fortunately, I joined the Poshan Gang. If I still fight alone like before, I will be exhausted in alchemy every day.

Now refining the alchemy twice a day, three furnaces at a time, the workload is obviously more than before.

But because of the help of the group of apprentice fireworkers, he was much more relaxed.

"Next, it's time to download the auxiliary materials."

One kind of processed medicinal materials were poured into the Four Elephants Cauldron one by one.

Some of them need to be dealt with on the spot, and he also has a special alchemy master to deal with medicinal materials.

Then there is Tianyang fruit with mild medicinal properties.

There is a trace of innate energy in this thing, not much, but quite precious.

Otherwise, Baicaotang would not sell it.

After the Tianyang fruit, it is the blood of the ape demon.

Luo Chen took out a magic weapon, the Tunbo Nahai Pot.

This is a new one he bought recently, the previous one was given to Feng Xia, and it was specially used to hold her husband's deer's milk.

Not to mention, the price of buying the magic weapon this time was only two hundred spirit stones.

He remembered that the Tunbona sea pot in Wanbaolou used to sell for two hundred and three.

Sikong Shoujia didn't lie to him, the price of the magic weapon is indeed getting cheaper now. Maybe thousands of years later, Qi refining monks will have a storage bag with a high price.

The mouth of the pot opened, and a stench gushed out.

This thing does not need to be processed, what is needed is the original flavor.

Luo Chen precisely controlled the amount of demon blood until he had enough burning blood pills, then he put away the Tunbo Nahai Pot.

After pouring the Explosive Ape Demon Blood, Luo Chen stopped his movements and concentrated on controlling the heat.

Occasionally, he would use the traction technique to open the cauldron cover, and then use a special medicine shovel to stir the liquid medicine that gradually melted inside.

According to the alchemy formula he deduced, during the refining process of Burning Blood Pill, it is best not to touch too much spiritual power of the alchemist.

Otherwise it will affect the purity of the pill.

The only place where you can touch it is probably only when it comes out of the furnace, relying on alchemy techniques to knead the liquid medicine into pills with spiritual power.

The work of boiling and stirring has been carried out for a long time.

Even Luo Chen dozed off a little.

Of course, he will definitely not fall asleep.

He even thought about how to arrange this time period if burning blood pills are refined on a large scale.

There must be pyrotechnics to watch the fire.

It is also possible to specially train a group of people from the medicinal apprentices to be responsible for the stage of changing the medicinal liquid during the alchemy process.

Perhaps not only the Burning Blood Pill, but the Jade Marrow Pill also had a stage, which cost him a lot of energy. It seems that he can do the same?

These thoughts flashed by.

Luo Chen continued to concentrate on alchemy.

Another incense stick of time passed, and it felt almost done.

Luo Chen took out the honeycomb-shaped rock pumice.

The stone floated above the Four Elephant Cauldron, Luo Chen stretched out one hand far away, and spiritual power gushed out.

With the formation of seals with one hand, those strands of spiritual power intertwined into clusters like bees, burrowing into the hive.

Breaking through the barrier set by the monks of Ailao Mountain, Luo Chen's spiritual power was like a bee transporting pollen, wrapping a wisp of earth fire evil and slowly transporting it out.

The ground fire entered the cauldron, and Luo Chen's spiritual power suddenly withdrew.

The cauldron cover was also pressed down instantly.

Almost instantly, the Four Elephant Cauldron trembled slightly.

"The mild medicinal liquid will produce special changes after it comes into contact with the evil spirit of earth fire. The overall attributes will instantly evolve in the violent direction."

"Not only that, the spiritual power in the Explosive Ape Demon Blood and the Heavenly Sun Fruit will also burst out instantly under the stimulation of the Earth Fire Sha, and then fuse with each other."

The elixirs deduced by myself will naturally have changes that may occur during the refining process of elixirs.

It can be said that Luo Chen is the person in this world who knows the burning blood pill formula best.

If it were a great master of alchemy, he would not be more familiar with it than him.

Suddenly!

The trembling Four Elephant Cauldron stopped suddenly and became as quiet as ever.

Luo Chen's mind was concentrated, this was Cheng Dan's last moment.

He exerted his spiritual power and penetrated along the lines of the formation originally reserved by Dan Ding.

After about five breaths, Luo Chen opened the cauldron cover expectantly.

A pungent smell of burnt beard spread instantly.

"Failed?"

"I'm used to it. The first refining is just the proficiency of the entry stage. It's normal to fail..."

Luo Chen, who was already mentally prepared, was stunned when he saw the five peanut-sized, blood-red pills at the bottom of the Four Elephants Cauldron.

No fail!

Success in one fell swoop!
