Longevity: Never leave the mountain until you are invincible

early morning.

The sun is rising.

The morning sun falls from the sky and falls on the lake, reflecting the sparkling waves.

Said to be a lake, it is actually as wide as an ocean.

Part of Canglanfang City is by the lake, and part of it is on the lake. The sunlight infects many buildings in Canglanfang City, as if they are coated with a layer of gold.

Chu Chen stepped out of the cave and headed towards the Dan Pavilion.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou."

I met some familiar monks on the road and said hello to each other, but that was all.

As soon as he entered the alchemy pavilion, he went to the alchemy room.

This year's alchemy target has been reached, but he can still make alchemy with the help of the Alchemy Pavilion's resources.

The Alchemy Pavilion is quite good to the alchemists under its command. After completing the annual alchemy target, the alchemists can still mobilize the resources of the Alchemy Pavilion and continue to refine alchemy.

At the same time, alchemists have a certain free quota every year.

Each level of alchemist has a different quota. For example, a second-level alchemist has a quota of 3,000 low-grade spiritual stones every year, which is quite a lot. If used properly, it can bring benefits to the alchemist of no less than 6,000 low-grade spiritual stones.

certainly.

If this amount is exceeded, the alchemists can still use the resources of the Alchemy Pavilion, but they have two options, one is to use spiritual stones to purchase the elixirs from the Alchemy Pavilion, and the other is to sell the refined elixirs to the Alchemy Pavilion.

Chu Chen's quota for this year is still there, and he can also mobilize Dan Pavilion's resources for free.

"Is the elixir I asked you to prepare ready?"

When passing by the elixir receiving place, Chu Chen stepped forward and asked.

"Alchemist Zhou ordered us to complete it with all our heart."

The skinny monk at the place where the elixir was received had a smile on his face.

"Two Huanglong Essence that is ten years old, and one Purple Flower Vine that is ten years old...the total value is two thousand low-grade spiritual stones."

With that said, he took out several elixirs of different shapes from under the counter and handed them to Chu Chen.

"Thank you."

Chu Chen took the elixir and thanked him.

"Alchemist Zhou's words are serious."

The skinny monk said quickly.

Chu Chen nodded slightly and walked towards the alchemy room.

"Alchemist Zhou is going to try to refine Huanglong Pill again. I wonder if he can succeed this time?"

The two alchemy apprentices at the elixir receiving area looked at Chu Chen's back and chatted.

"This is Alchemist Zhou's sixth attempt to refine the Yellow Dragon Pill. It is said that Alchemist Zhou almost succeeded last time. If he succeeds this time, Alchemist Zhou will become a first-class alchemist."

An alchemy apprentice said with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Huanglong Pill is a first-grade high-level pill that can increase the mana of monks above the seventh level of Qi training.

If you can refine the Yellow Dragon Pill, you can become one of the few first-class alchemists in the Dan Pavilion.

Although Dan Pavilion has now been merged into the Tongzhou Alliance and has grown stronger, the status of a first-class alchemist is still very high. In Dan Pavilion and even in the Tongzhou Alliance, the status is not low.

…

Alchemy Room No. 3, Class B.

"Master Zhou."

Chu Chen was about to enter the alchemy room, but was stopped by someone.

Turning around, he saw a young man wearing mysterious clothes approaching, it was Sun Bingwen.

More than ten years have passed, and Sun Bingwen has become a third-class alchemist in the Alchemy Pavilion, and is currently attacking the second-class alchemists.

Therefore, I came to ask Chu Chen some questions about alchemy.

Chu Chen enlightened Sun Bingwen thoroughly with just a few words.

"Thank you, Uncle Master, for your guidance. If this junior can refine a mid-level elixir this time, we will definitely hold a banquet. Thank you Master Zhou for your guidance."

Sun Bingwen bowed and thanked him, with a look of gratitude on his face.

This scene is like the time when Chu Chen asked Shopkeeper Sun for advice on how to refine the Spirit Gathering Pill.

"Can."

Chu Chen looked as usual and smiled lightly.

"This junior has enlightened his mind and will try to refine the Spirit Gathering Pill in seclusion. I also wish my uncle can successfully refine the Huanglong Pill."

Sun Bingwen hurriedly said goodbye and left to practice alchemy in seclusion.

Chu Chen walked into the alchemy room, waved his hand, and signaled several alchemy apprentices and medicine boys to leave:

"You all go out, I want to be in seclusion alone to refine the Huanglong Pill, no one is allowed to disturb me."

Each alchemy room has several alchemy apprentices and medicine boys who can help the alchemist make alchemy. At the same time, the alchemy apprentices can also learn a lot of alchemy experience.

"Yes, Master Zhou."

Several people did not dare to neglect and bowed to leave.

boom!

The huge stone door fell and sealed the alchemy room. Coupled with the formation outside the alchemy room, even monks on the twelfth level of Qi training may not be able to break in.

Chu Chen set up several more Five Elements Killing Formations before sitting down in front of the alchemy furnace.

Take out Huanglongjing and other elixirs and set them aside.

The elixir he refined this time was not the Huanglong Pill. He was able to refine the Huanglong Pill decades ago.

This time, the pill he refined was naturally the Foundation Establishment Pill, and the Huanglong Pill was just a cover-up.

He has been in the Canglanfang City Dan Pavilion for more than 20 years, and finally waited until the Tianling Fruit and Hanmui Ganoderma were mature enough to start the furnace to refine the Foundation Building Dan.

"Every time you encounter a big problem, you must first meditate."

Chu Chen was not too anxious and silently recited the Calming Mantra a hundred times to get rid of distracting thoughts in his mind.

Just now he took out two elixirs from his arms.

One is a fruit the size of a fist, crystal clear as jade, and the other is a blue Ganoderma lucidum that exudes a strong medicinal fragrance and a touch of chill.

Tianling fruit, Ganoderma lucidum.

He also moved the alchemy furnace in the center of the alchemy room and placed the five-qi alchemy furnace.

The five-qi alchemy furnace has now returned to the quality of a mid-grade magical instrument, which is much higher than the alchemy furnace in the alchemy room.

Using the Five Qi Pill Furnace to make elixirs has a much higher success rate.

then.

According to the refining method of the Foundation Establishment Pill, Chu Chen melted many elixirs into a liquid, and used the earth evil fire in the alchemy room to refine the liquid, which took seven, seven and forty-nine days.

Condensed into a foundation building pill.

“Clang!”

The lid of the Five Qi Pill Furnace flew up, and a refreshing medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire alchemy room. After taking a breath, I felt relaxed all over.

Chu Chen looked into the furnace and saw three snow-white pills lying quietly at the bottom of the furnace.

“The foundation-building pill is done, and a breakthrough is in sight!”

Seeing these three foundation-building pills, Chu Chen couldn’t help but be delighted.

After waiting for decades, he finally succeeded in refining the foundation-building pill.

“However, three foundation-building pills are not safe yet. At most, the probability of breaking through the foundation-building stage can be increased to about 90%, and there is still a shortfall of 11.”

Chu Chen suppressed the joy in his heart, his eyes condensed.

After ordinary cultivators break through the ninth level of Qi training, each breakthrough can increase the probability of breakthrough by 10%.

At the twelfth level of Qi training, the probability of breaking through the foundation-building stage can reach 30% to 40%.

But this is the most ideal situation. The chance of a Qi-training cultivator breaking through the foundation-building stage is related to the cultivator's state, environment, spirit, etc. at the time.

Take the lowest value, 30% chance.

Adding a foundation-building pill can increase the chance of breaking through by 20%, and three foundation-building pills will increase the chance by 60%. Simply adding them together, it is 90%, which has never reached 100%.

Others may think it is enough, but Chu Chen still feels unsafe and will not rashly try to break through.

You must know that if you fail to break through the foundation-building stage, your cultivation will drop sharply at the least, and your dantian will be broken and your cultivation will be lost at the worst.

It is a blessing for ordinary casual cultivators to get a foundation-building pill, and they can only fight hard to break through the foundation-building stage.

But Chu Chen would rather spend more time to adjust his own state to the best, increase the chance of breaking through to the highest, and then try to break through the foundation-building stage.

Besides.

Chu Chen does not plan to break through in Canglan Market.

Breaking through the foundation-building stage would trigger fluctuations in spiritual energy and many strange phenomena, which would likely attract the attention of the real people stationed in Laifang City.
