Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 82 Detailed explanation of Qing Yuanzi’s alchemy path

 When Luo Chen came, Mi Shuhua smiled from the bottom of his heart.

 When Luo Chen left, his smile was already a little forced.

In the Haoyue Hall, Sikong Shoujia and Luo Chen have left, and only Mi Junping, who came from behind, is sitting with them.

“Dad, does it cost that much to build an alchemy room?”

Mi Junping couldn't help but ask.

 She is the head of the Hall of Honors. In addition to managing personnel, the Hall of Honors is also responsible for some accounting calculations.

Those things that Luo Chen just proposed, based on a slight estimate, would have to be invested in thousands of spiritual stones.

Moreover, this is just the construction of the alchemy room.

The Mi family also invested in a Xuanyun Cauldron worth nine hundred spirit stones and a Ziyun Copper Furnace worth four hundred spirit stones.

 In addition, wait until the alchemy room is completed and the alchemy is actually started.

Poshan Gang will at least provide countless raw materials.

Rao is Mi Junping every day, all of which are tens of tens of counts, but Lingshi is not so spending!

Mi Shuhua sighed, showing a hint of bitterness.

 He will not cover himself up all the time in front of his family.

“Ping’er, you don’t understand. Where does our investment lead to?”

Mi Junping was surprised, "It's already quite a lot!"

Mi Shuhua shook his head, "Why are alchemists generally only available in large sects? Even if they are family alchemists, they are usually from the Jindan family or the old foundation-building family."

“This kind of investment that outsiders usually don’t know about is also one of the reasons!”

“Our Mi family is just a new foundation-building family, and it cannot support the squandering of a real alchemist. The establishment of the Alchemy Hall now actually relies on the power of the Poshan Gang.”

Mi Junping naturally knows everything about the situation in her family.

She also felt a little horrified when she thought about having to support a monk in refining alchemy for dozens or hundreds of years.

 This is simply not something that emerging foundation-building families can do.

 “Luo Chen, this is still a small fight.”

"Those second-level alchemists are more noble, and their alchemy equipment is at least a top-grade magic weapon. They don't bother to use ordinary fire. If they want to use it, they use earth fire. Do you know how much an alchemy room containing earth fire costs?"

Mi Junping asked in a low voice: "How much?"

“From having an Earth Fire Spring, to drawing the Earth Fire out, building a formation, isolating the inside and outside, and building an alchemy room. The Ailao Mountain monk once quoted a price of eight thousand spirit stones!”

 “Hey, why don’t you go and grab it!” Mi Junping took a breath.

Mi Shuhua sighed, "This does not include the cost of building materials. The building materials also have to be purchased from Xianzhuju in Ailao Mountain, and they still have to make a profit."

"So, Luo Chen seems to have made so many demands now, but they are only one or two thousand spirit stones. I can afford it, and the Poshan Gang can also afford it."

Mi Junping asked: "Can we make money back in the future?"

"You can definitely make money back, but if you want to make more money, you have to see if that kid can refine the prescription I gave him."

Mi Shuhua said lightly, with some expectation but also hesitation in his words.

“Elder Sikong, I’m sorry to trouble you about the Dantang matter.”

"It's easy to say, the gang leader has said that he will fully support you, I definitely can't hold him back."

 “So, see you tomorrow?”

 “See you tomorrow!”

At the crossroads in the inner city, Luo Chen smiled slightly as he watched Sikong Shoujia leave in a hurry.

 Then, he couldn't wait to rush home.

 After a while, he returned to the courtyard.

 Close the door, but there is no need to turn on the light.

  The new inverted house has two glazed skylights, which provide much better light than before.

Luo Chen sat at the desk and took out a bunch of things from the storage bag.

 Two bottles of Qi Nourishing Pill, which is his fixed salary for the next month, which he just received.

 The five bottles I bought with my own savings have already been consumed, and now I am taking over.

 Except for the Qi Nourishing Pill, there is a yellowed book and two volumes of bamboo slips.

 First use the spiritual vision technique and check carefully to make sure there are no hidden tricks on it.

Luo Chen then picked up the book with confidence.

 "Detailed Explanation of Qing Yuanzi's Alchemy"

 These are the books related to Alchemy that Mi Shuhua promised before.

The paper is yellowed, and there are even a lot of comments on it.

 It is conceivable that Luo Chen is not the first person to read this book besides the author himself.

 Those people in the Mi family must have seen it many times.

“The art of alchemy is broad and profound, ranking first among the hundreds of cultivation arts. Although it does not have the power of weapons, talismans, puppets and other arts to show off, it can help monks like us lead the way.”

“I am not talented. I am only in the late stage of foundation building, but I am ranked as a third-level alchemist. I can be a master of the generation.”

 “This book is my daily essays after refining alchemy. It records the beginning of alchemy from the beginning to the end.”

Just by reading the beginning, Luo Chen could feel the pride of the alchemist named "Qing Yuanzi" from between the lines.

 He is indeed entitled to be proud.

 Using the foundation level, he refined the third-level elixir.

 This book is very detailed.

　　It covers almost all kinds of techniques for getting started with alchemy, and even Luo Chen would have a headache looking at some professional terms. "The book is a good book, but it is not something I can finish in a short time. I can read more often."

 Putting away the "Detailed Explanation of Qing Yuanzi's Alchemy" with great care, Luo Chen's eyes fell on the two bamboo slips.

 One volume is complete, but the other volume has traces of being burned.

Mi Shuhua actually gave him two pill recipes, but one was incomplete, so the other party had no expectations for Luo Chen.

 What this old man really cares about is the complete volume of prescriptions.

 “Chalcedony Pill!”

Luo Chen took the recipe and looked at it very carefully, from the main ingredients, to the quota ratio, to the taboos.

 After looking at it for a while, it was already night time without realizing it.

 He rubbed his swollen eyebrows, feeling extremely emotional.

“No wonder Mi Shuhua took so much trouble to bring me in, and even built the alchemy hall at all costs.”

“If I can really refine this chalcedony pill, the Poshan Gang will make a fortune!”

 “No, that’s not right, it’s Mi Shuhua who is going to make a fortune.”

Luo Chen secretly asked Qin Liangchen how the profits created by Dantang were divided among others, excluding Luo Chen's share.

Although there is no specific ratio, gang leader Mi Shuhua definitely takes the biggest prize.

 Except for the hall master and the ninth-level Qi Refining monks, there are almost no spiritual stones available at other halls.

 In other words, most of the profits from Dantang will fall into Mi Shuhua's pocket.

 And this chalcedony pill can create large profits.

“It’s actually an orthodox practice of elixirs!”

 This label alone can explain the value of Chalcedony Pill.

 According to the description of the effectiveness of the elixir, after taking the chalcedony elixir, it can increase the monk's spiritual power.

 Very common utility, right?

 However, the more common it is, the more mainstream it is.

 But this kind of mainstream elixir, whether it is the elixir recipe or the channel, is controlled by the major sects.

 Ordinary forces do not have similar elixirs for sale at all. Even if there is, there will definitely be some sect forces involved.

“However, this elixir also has many shortcomings!”

Luo Chen recalled the description of the efficacy and taboos on the elixir prescription, which was a pity.

Although Chalcedony Pill is also a mainstream elixir, it does not contain much spiritual power, only one-tenth of the Qi-Nourishing Pill.

Not only that, taking too much can also lead to drug resistance.

 The drug resistance is pretty good, most elixirs have this shortcoming.

The biggest disadvantage of chalcedony pill is that excessive use of it will cause the pubic area to become jade-like!

 This is absolutely unacceptable to monks.

 Dantian is the most important point for low-level monks.

Once damaged, the path may be cut off at best, or the spiritual energy may be violent and lead to death.

Yuhua is not a good word either.

 Once transformed into jade, it will be very difficult for a monk to break through the realm.

 To use the professional term used in the alchemy path to explain, it is "alchemy barrier", which is an obstacle caused by taking elixirs.

 Many unsophisticated elixirs can easily cause elixir problems.

Only elixirs such as Nourishing Qi Pill, Transforming Dust Pill, and Jade Dew Pill, which have been studied thousands of times, have been able to solve the problem of elixir barrier.

 Eating too much will probably have no effect at all.

“Although it has many shortcomings, it is still a panacea for low-level monks!”

Luo Chen came step by step from the first level to the second level of Qi Refining. He suffered greatly from the pills!

 The Qi-nourishing pills sold in Lingyao Pavilion are never sold in retail, at least one bottle.

 One bottle is one hundred spirit stones!

Hundred spirit stones, foundation-building monks don’t even look at them. Those in the late stage of Qi refining can easily take them out, and mid-stage monks can grit their teeth and buy a bottle from time to time.

 But for the early monks, this was a huge sum of money!

 Even if you go bankrupt, you may not be able to afford a bottle.

 Chalcedony Pill is different.

 From the main materials, to the utility, to the shortcomings, it is destined that its selling price will not be high.

 In other words, low-level monks can afford it!

“A poor man is poor, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have spiritual stones.”

"If I had known about the existence of this kind of elixir, I would have been able to buy some in a year if I had gritted my teeth."

“This elixir is made by someone who specializes in plundering the spiritual stones from the hands of poor ghosts!”

 Luo Chen put down the bamboo slips and had no more doubts.

As for whether what Mi Shuhua is worried about can be refined?

 Just kidding, he is a systematic man!

Of course, it cannot be easily refined.

Luo Chen had his own plan in mind, and then his eyes fell on the burned bamboo slips.

 “Tongyou Dan?”

It should be on the shelves in the next week or two. The specific time has not yet been determined. We will notify everyone when the time comes.

But I also want to ask for your help. Read more of the latest chapters, slowly read to the end, and do more follow-up reading, especially on Tuesdays.

　　Well, I’m sorry to trouble you all. Thank you, Xiaoyu.
