Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 6: You can still increase your proficiency after failure.

 Poof!

Looking at the dark mass in the pot and smelling the burnt smell, Luo Chen's eyes were red and his face was ashen.

Failed!

 The sixth pot failed again!

 This is the sixth day of refining Zhongmiaowan. He is refining it methodically at the rate of one pot per day.

 The final result made him very hurt.

 No one succeeded!

The best time was just a pot of light red paste.

He was very sure that as written in the recipe, the final product would be dark red, redder than his patriotic heart!

Looking a little lonely, he picked up the pot and poured the black stuff on the other side of the stream.

Then by the stream, I washed the pot one after another with loofah pulp.

 In my mind, I kept replaying the previous refining process.

“There is definitely no problem with the proportions. I used a scale to be extremely accurate.”

“The order of adding the raw materials is correct, and they are added at the right time when the symptoms appear.”

“Is it a problem with the heat? Or is it wood? But the prescription says that as long as it’s peach wood, it’s fine. It’s just a first-level elixir, and it can’t be particularly demanding.”

“Or is it my fault?”

 The successive failures made Luo Chen begin to doubt himself.

He even wondered if he didn't have the talent for alchemy, and the success of Bigu San was only because the original owner had the talent and entered the practice himself.

He just stole the game account that someone else had practiced and walked as fast as he could on a well-trodden road.

 Hurrah!

 There was water splashing on the face.

　　It was a big carp that swam over and jumped up as it passed by, splashing water on his face.

There have been more and more fish in the stream recently, probably because the rising water from the Lancang River brought them here!

 Looking at the fish that was about to swim away, Luo Chen was furious.



 “Fireball!”

 A lump of black coal floated from the water, and then drifted farther and farther along the stream.

 Looking down at the clean iron pot on his hands.

“Could it be that it’s a problem with the equipment?”

Luo Chen couldn't help but reveal the classic wry smile of an internet hero. He didn't know that he was in a predicament in making alchemy.

 There is no guidance from a famous teacher, no support from the family, not even the equipment for alchemy.

 Others are using fine magic weapons and alchemy furnaces, which burn the fire of heaven and earth. He just puts a whole iron pot here to boil medicine.

But a good magic weapon, the alchemy furnace, is ten times more expensive than a flying sword of the same level!

Even the favorite defensive magic weapon of casual cultivators is not as precious as the magic weapon Dan furnace.

Being able to make up the raw materials of the ten Zhong Miao Wan has made him lose his family, and he even thought about it.

Moreover, the most **** alchemy stove cannot be burned with ordinary firewood.

 At least first-level spiritual wood must be used to make firewood, and it must be matched with the alchemist's constant spiritual power to adjust the heat.

He can’t afford a first-level spiritual tree, and he doesn’t have the cultivation level to constantly adjust the fire with his spiritual power!

Sometimes he also wants to be like the rumored alchemist, who comes out of the oven with a dozen pills, instead of kneading the ointment into a ball with his hands while it is hot.

Who doesn’t know that thing is hot?

 Some ointments also have negative effects on the body!

Isn’t this unconditional?

 After feeling sorry for himself for a while, Luo Chen put the pot back on the stove, took off his apron and sat at the door.

Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, I slapped myself twice.

　　　“Why do you think about those things that you have and don’t have!”

“I have put all my wealth on the line. Even if I hit the south wall this time, I have to break it first!”

 “I won’t practice tomorrow, let’s adjust my mentality.”

 Everyone understands the principle that haste makes waste.

　　But when things come to an end, you often have to hit your head hard and realize that you are in a hurry.

There was nothing to do at night, but Luo Chen felt a suffocation in his heart.

 He has to let it out!

so.

 Fireball!

 Fireball!

 Fireball!

The creek suffered a disaster, and the fish in the river complained incessantly.

 Nine consecutive fireball spells were cast with all the strength, completely draining the body's spiritual energy.

With nine points of proficiency achieved, Luo Chen returned to the room tiredly, sat cross-legged and meditated, performing Changchun Gong.

 One Great Week, one-fifth of the spiritual power was restored. In another great week, one-fifth of the spiritual power was restored.

Well, that’s it.

Low-level monks are not in good physical shape, and their spiritual soul has not undergone qualitative changes. Practicing two or three times a night is almost the limit.

 Luo Chen fell asleep innocently in the middle of the night.

 When I woke up the next day, the spiritual power in my body was still less than half recovered.

 The lack of spiritual power is actually the reason that limits his ability to use spell proficiency to clear levels and gain achievement points.

 It takes five days to recover after using Fireball for one day!

 Even low-energy cleaning techniques require enough time.

Luo Chen does not live in a particularly safe place, so he must always retain part of his mana to escape.

 In fact, when he got up in the morning, he was a little scared.

He was really crazy last night. He actually used up all his spiritual power. If a monster came here, he wouldn't even have much ability to resist.

 “You can’t do this again in the future, remember this!”

 After reciting something, he sat cross-legged and meditated, and performed Changchun Gong once.

 Spiritual power has been restored to one-fifth again.

Then open the properties panel.

  【Name: Luo Chen】

ˆ【Shouyuan: 27/75】

 【Spiritual Root: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth】

 【Realm: Third level of Qi refining stage: 75/100】

 【Gongfa: Changchun Gong Mastery: 249/300】

 【Spells: Cleaning spell entry level 51/100, Entanglement spell proficiency 176/200, Fireball spell perfect 304/500】

 【Skills: First-level alchemist: Bigu San Master 507/1000, Zhongmiaowan Beginner 3/100】

 【Achievement point: 1 point (can be used to get started with corresponding realm exercises, spells, and skills)】

 Looking at the attribute panel, Luo Chen was in a daze.

As expected, the lifespan should be the lifespan of the person before the time travel. The original owner of this body has died long ago, so the lifespan should be zero.

 The reason why he wanted to earn spiritual stones so much was actually for the sake of cultivation and immortality.

 He felt a little sad when he thought that if he didn't travel through time, he would only be able to live for 75 years on earth.

Even the eighty-year-old is not happy enough to mourn, and his descendants can't dance at the funeral, even though he was just a single man before time travel.

 So in this life, he must practice step by step to the highest level and live the longest!

Then the cold reality slapped him in the face. Less than half a month passed, and he never stopped practicing Changchun Gong twice a day.

But the realm remains motionless.

Having a balanced physique with five spiritual roots, you can’t be such a waste!

 How did the former original owner reach the third level of Qi refining stage? The owner of the remains couldn't have left him a few large bottles of Qi-nourishing pills!

 After the cold reality, it’s time to be moved by the welfare of the travelers.

 Changchun Gong proficiency increased by 26 points, although I didn’t feel anything.

In the spell column, the Cleaning Technique increased by two points. Once he used it to clean the robes, and once he used it to clean the iron pot to completely wash away the smell left by the original refining of Bigu Powder.

There is basically no change in the entanglement technique, and he does not want the entire blue and silver entanglement to go beyond the golden elixir stage.

 On the other hand, the fireball technique was released twice a day to the maximum, and coupled with last night's splurge, the proficiency level skyrocketed by 36 points.

 Now I have broken through the proficiency level and reached the perfection level in one go.

 Also provides an achievement point for level-breaking.

Hey, I have a perfect level of fireball technique, but I don’t know what it feels like?

However, the spiritual power in the body has not been restored to full yet, so it is better to suppress the excited heart and excited hands!

Thinking like this, Luo Chen closed the properties panel.

But before closing it, his eyes subconsciously jumped from the achievement point. He blinked and quickly opened the panel again.

"etc!"

“[Skills: First-level alchemist: Bigu San Master 507/1000, Zhongmiaowan Beginner 3/100]”

 He ​​remembered clearly that after using achievement points to learn Zhongmiaowan, his proficiency level should only be 1 point, but now it is 3 points.

 But he has never successfully refined Zhongmiao Pills!

 “Can you increase your proficiency level even if you fail?”
