Mortal Cultivator

Four months have passed, and his cultivation has reached the sixth level of Qi refining. In the first three months, he used the spiritual stones sold by Lingxu Guo to buy two top-quality Qi-building pills, as well as a bunch of mundane alchemy accessories.

Now that the three Qi-gathering grasses in his space have reached ten years of medicinal age, he can start making elixirs.

Depending on the age of the elixir, the grade of the same elixir will be slightly different. However, generally a skilled alchemist will work hard on the elixir recipe and make the ratio.

In this way, although the medicinal materials collected by casual cultivators may have different ages, they only need to be carefully proportioned to control the heat, so that there will be no problem of one pill being strong and the other weak.

The elixirs are divided into ten levels, the first, second and third levels are Qi training, the fourth and fifth levels are foundation building, the sixth and seventh levels are elixir formation, the eighth and ninth level are Nascent Soul, and the tenth level is the elixir of the transformation stage.

And the Qi-Building Pill he wants to refine is a first-grade one.

Of course, as the age of the medicine fluctuates, it can reach up to the third level, and the higher level is the fourth level Yuanyuan Pill used by Foundation Establishment monks.

Fortunately, Wang Lu's elixirs can be harvested at any time, which makes it easier for him to mix them.

The display of divine consciousness has reached more than thirty feet.

"Phew -" Wang Lu disappeared from the spot, looking at a mature Spirit Beard Fruit in the space and three Spirit Beard Grass with seeds on the top. He gently removed the seeds, pulled up a Qi Gathering Grass and picked it again. It took 9 Spirit Beard Fruits to leave the space.

"call……"

After everything was done, Wang Lu took a deep breath and took out 8 pieces of wood. Like elixirs, spiritual wood needs to grow in a place with spiritual energy, but generally no one grows it. Instead, it grows in the Blackwater Mountains. It takes hundreds of years to become useful before it is cut down. Bring it back and process it into fuel segments of the same size.

Looking at the eight sections of spirit wood in front of him, Wang Lu sighed. It is said that when you reach the elixir formation stage, you can use elixir fire to refine elixirs. The elixir fire is more refined than the spirit wood fire, is easier to control, and has a higher rate of elixir formation.

The spiritual wood was stuffed into the bottom stove one by one, and a ball of fire was driven into the bottom stove by his spiritual power.

"Boom -" The fire was burning, and the blazing flames were burning. Wang Lu's spiritual consciousness was detected, and the fire slowly became stable. The first step in making alchemy was to control the fire.

Opening the lid of the furnace, he put a Qi-gathering grass in and quickly closed it. A ray of spiritual consciousness penetrated the alchemy furnace. In a short while, the Qi-gathering grass had liquefied. He quickly opened the alchemy furnace under control. He put the nine Spirit Beard Fruits into the alchemy furnace and closed the lid. Wang Lu was already sweating profusely.

His consciousness was always paying attention to the alchemy furnace, and the nine spirit whiskers were liquefied smoothly. He opened the alchemy furnace again, put a portion of the mundane auxiliary medicine that had been prepared into the alchemy furnace, and quickly covered the furnace.

Common auxiliary medicines were liquefied almost instantly.

Wang Lu paid full attention and finally reached the last step, the Elimination of Miscellaneous Melting Pills.

Sweat dropped drop by drop, and his consciousness did not dare to relax for a moment.

In the alchemy furnace, a ball of liquid was floating and merging with each other, and traces of white gas emerged. Wang Lu was removing impurities. He felt that he could not go on like this. He felt that his mana was draining very quickly, and he could no longer hold on.

The elixir must be melted quickly, even if only one low-grade elixir is produced.

Wang Lu increased his speed, and a ball of liquid medicine slowly rotated, with traces of white gas emerging, as if the fire was too hot and most of the liquid medicine had turned into mist.

"Fusion, fusion." Wang Lu was already sweating profusely, and the flames were out of control at some point. He was concentrating on observing the liquid in the alchemy furnace. The liquid was slowly condensing, and it seemed that it was about to become a pill.

"!!!"

"No!" Wang Lu screamed, kicked the ground, and flew backwards to hide.

"Boom——!!!" There was an explosion!

The cave shook like an earthquake, the furnace lid flew up and was deeply embedded in the roof, and stone debris flew everywhere. If he hadn't placed a spiritual stone in advance to strengthen the formation, there would have been a bigger movement.

Flames flew everywhere, and all the books on the bed were ignited. Wang Lu was also knocked against the wall. If it hadn't been for the cassock, he might have caught fire.

"What's going on?"

In an attic, Shui Xun watched the formation center fluctuate and studied it carefully for a moment.

"This shouldn't be a fight, it seems like... a furnace explosion?"

Shui Xun touched his chin and stopped caring.

Wang Lu got up and used the basic spell recorded in the exercise, the Dust Dispelling Technique, to remove the dust covering his body.

After patting the dust that no longer existed on his body, Wang Lu was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, he closed the cave tightly. He had already felt the consciousness of many people outside the cave. Fortunately, there was a forbidden formation in the cave. He would not go out to explain anything. .

It took a few more water polo skills to extinguish the fire, and then he began to tidy up the cave in despair.

"This thing explodes so fiercely??"

Wang Lu was sweating a little.

After calming down, he took off the furnace cover embedded in the ceiling of the cave. Fortunately, the alchemy furnace was strong enough. If he bought the inferior one, he might have to buy a new one.

Returning to the space, Wang Lu took another batch of medicinal materials, picked up the scattered spiritual wood, stuffed it into the bottom furnace again, and rekindled the spiritual fire.

Following the steps in the initial explanation of alchemy, he put in the ingredients one by one as before. This time he was careful and did not forcefully melt the elixir. A quarter of an hour later, the furnace was successfully opened.

"Done?"

Wang Lu looked at the gray pill in his hand, and was a little unsure whether he could take it. Although it was only one pill, it should be considered completed.

If there was an alchemist who knew that Wang Lu's second batch turned into an elixir, even though it was not even a low-grade pill, he would be jealous to death, and he would probably ask to be accepted as his disciple.

Wang Lu put the elixir away and stepped out of the cave. As soon as he left the cave, several rays of divine consciousness swept over him, but he put it back instantly.

When he arrived at the casual cultivator market, Wang Lu set up a stall and took out a small wooden box. It was carved from ordinary wood and contained a pill that had just been refined.

"Selling pills, one Qi-building pill only costs 18 spirit stones."

Wang Lu started to hawk, because everyone was shouting that way, although he didn't know if it was of any use.

As soon as Wang Lu shouted, several people came over in an instant. Looking with his spiritual consciousness, he saw that all of them were at the third level of Qi Refining with lower cultivation than him.

Wang Lu knew that there was actually a small bottleneck between the third and fourth levels of Qi Refining, which required pills to help break through. However, he used the best Qi-Building Pills to practice and broke through extremely easily.

"Fellow Taoist, if you're of such good quality, I'll take it if you're willing to buy a spiritual stone for free." A casual cultivator bargained. In fact, for casual cultivators, this kind of elixir of good quality is almost the same as low-grade pills. It's just a little more erysipelas. Each has less erysipelas, but both have the effect of breaking through bottlenecks.

Seeing a monk bargaining for a price, Wang Lu was about to agree when another monk rushed over and threw 18 spiritual stones at Wang Lu.

"Haha, I want it!"

Wang Lu looked around and saw a tall man with a beard and a beard. His cultivation was at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Wang Lu handed the wooden box to the big man. The big man took it and stuffed it into his arms. Obviously there was no storage bag.

The big man cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Hehe... Many thanks to you fellow Taoist. If Master Ling still has this kind of elixir in the future, you can sell it to me. I live in this market and will be there anytime recently."

Wang Lu was stunned, Master? Immediately he cupped his fists and returned the greeting: "Okay, no problem. If it's still in this condition, I can give you 17 spiritual stones."

"Ah! Really? Thank you, fellow Taoist, thank you so much, fellow Taoist!" The big man was very grateful after hearing this, and thanked him again and again.

Wang Lu didn't care. The reason why it was cheap was because he liked the big man and found a regular buyer.

"I just need a few pills to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, but I am short of money. I also need a spiritual stone to break through. If I can get one cheaper, the probability of my breakthrough will be greater. Don't worry, wait until I break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining. I will definitely repay my brother’s kindness!”

The big man said with some solemnity that although the waste pill contained a lot of erysipelas, the effect of the medicine was not great, and it could still speed up the speed of tempering his spiritual energy.

For a casual cultivator like him, every step he can take is one step at a time. He still chooses to reach the perfection of Qi refining first, so that he can have more strength to earn spiritual stones and plan for foundation building.

As for the probability of affecting the Foundation Establishment, this is no longer something he can consider. At the worst, he will die, but at least he has tried. Whether he can get the Foundation Establishment Pill is his first consideration.
