The Rise of the Shen Family

The next day, the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone into the courtyard. At this time, Shen Ruiling, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly closed his energy, and the spiritual energy around him gradually absorbed into his body. Well, it's just an opportunity to break through. At this time, the voice of the second brother Shen Ruixiang came to mind outside the door:

"Ninth brother, the second elder is waiting for you in the inner hall, hurry up and go over there."

"Okay, brother."

Saying that, Shen Ruiling opened the door and followed the second brother Shen Ruixiang to the inner hall. Entering the inner hall, Shen Ruiling saw that grandfather and third uncle were discussing things, saw Shen Ruiling's arrival, and said to Shen Jinghong:

"You go to work first, I will handle that matter in person."

Sanbo turned around and saw Shen Ruiling, and said in amazement:

"Rui Ling, your cultivation has improved a lot in one night, and you will soon catch up with people of our generation. It's better to be young!"

"The third uncle is joking, how can my nephew compare with you, I'll go see grandpa first, and talk to you later." Shen Ruiling said with a smile.

"Go, go, the second elder is waiting for you, I have to go too." After that, he walked to the front room.

"Good morning, Grandpa!" Shen Ruiling asked Grandpa first, the basic etiquette of the elders and the youngest should still be respected.

"Ling'er, you are in the late stage of your breakthrough Qi training. Okay, you and I will go to the fire pit of the family later, and let Grandpa see how far your alchemy master is at this level." Shen Huanqun was pleased. said.

Under the leadership of Shen Huanqun, he walked towards the fire pit, and after passing through a few streets, a small spiritual mountain appeared in front of Shen Ruiling's eyes.

"Don't underestimate this mountain, it's a live volcano, and it was sealed by Jindan Zhenren with his supernatural power." Shen Huanqun explained this to his grandson, showed the sign to the guard, and took Shen Ruiling to open it. Crypt ban.

This ground fire room was rented by the Shen family. As a second-tier high-grade alchemist, Shen Huanqun’s cultivation was only in the Qi training period. There was no way to generate real fire before the foundation-building period, so the family rented it in Shanghai Shangfang. A fire room was built for Shen Huanqun to concoct alchemy, which could save the alchemist's spiritual power and increase the success rate of alchemy.

Of course, it would cost 300 spirit stones to rent this fire pit a year. Fortunately, Shen Huanqun's alchemy level was already very high, and even a second-tier high-grade spirit pill could have a 50% success rate. In this way, excluding the rental fee, the Shen family's medicinal herb shop in Shanghai can earn seven or eight hundred spirit stones, which is already a large amount of income for the clan.

The flame in the middle of the stone chamber was so dazzling, although the ground fire was sealed by the bronze faucet, the scorching temperature also made Shen Ruiling uncomfortable. Shen Huanqun turned off the ban, turned around and asked:

"I have been refining alchemy in this market for the past few years, and I didn't care much about you. I heard from the patriarch that you have become a top-rank alchemist. The progress in the past few years has been quite big. How about the rate of success in alchemy? "

Shen Ruiling said seriously:

"The success rate of first-order high-grade medicinal pills is close to 70%, and the other 80% are still there."

"Your success rate is already very high. It seems that your talent in alchemy is better than mine. Now you can try to refine second-order low-grade medicine pills. If the family can send another second-order alchemist, it will be easier to share some of the burden. Your seventh uncle and I are the burden." Shen Huanqun said with a satisfied expression.

Shen Ruiling said seriously:

"The grandson must live up to Grandpa's expectations, but I haven't seen a second-order pill recipe."

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll arrange it for you, you can take this." Shen Huanqun took out a yellowed animal skin from the storage bag and gave it to Shen Ruiling.

"This is the second-order low-grade bigu pill. Although it is a second-order medicinal pill, it can be refined with only a few flavors of first-order spirit grass and spirit valley. The family can provide it by themselves, and you can save some money in the process of becoming proficient. Spirit Stone.

I brought you some materials, and your third uncle will send some over in a few days.

Next, take a closer look at my practice first, the second-order medicinal herbs are not like the first-order pills that can be used casually. "

After finishing speaking, he took out a second-order high-grade alchemy furnace from the storage bag. Since Shen Huanqun was promoted to second-order high-grade alchemy master, the family's best alchemy furnace has been kept by him.

Although the founder of Kaishan brought out a set of third-grade high-grade alchemy inheritance from Qingyunmen, but the family's alchemy furnace only has second-grade high-grade, and third-grade alchemy stoves not only need third-grade high-grade alchemists but also third-grade high-grade alchemists. They can only be refined together, so the best of the family can only be second-order top-grade.

Shen Huanqun began to preheat his elixir stove on the ground fire, and used his spiritual power to control the firepower of the faucet. Shen Ruiling also held his breath and followed his grandfather's every move, daring not to make a sound.

Shen Huanqun started to open the Pill Furnace, put in a few Spirit Valleys, and closed the stove lid. The pill furnaces and flames that the handprints began to control, the spiritual valley in the furnace began to slowly turn into a pool of liquid under the high temperature, and Shen Huanqun used his spiritual power to control the process of removing impurities from the pool of spiritual valley liquid.

This is also the most difficult process in alchemy. Only when enough impurities are removed can it finally condense into dan, otherwise it will be a mass of ash. With Shen Huanqun's many years of experience, refining this bigu pill is of course easy to grasp. He began to blindly put in the auxiliary elixir, and in order to make Shen Ruiling see more clearly, he deliberately slowed down his movements.

"Pay attention to the amount of this excipient"

The auxiliary elixir in the furnace also turned into juice, mixed with the spirit grain liquid, and a thick grain fragrance filled the air.

"Look carefully below"

I saw that Shen Huanqun adjusted the earth fire, controlled the liquid in the furnace and began to condense. This was the last step of alchemy, "condensation", and success and failure were also seen.

Under the control of Shen Huanqun, the liquid began to condense, a stream of Dan incense spread out from the furnace, and four bigu pills appeared in the furnace. Shen Huanqun sealed the ground fire, took out the four medicinal pills with his spiritual power, and threw them to Shen Ruiling.

"You should pay attention to the time of cleaning, as well as the ratio of materials and the control of the heat in the furnace. You have to think about it yourself. You first look at the pill recipe, combined with the four bigu pills I gave you, what do you don't understand? You can ask me."

An hour later, under the guidance of Shen Huanqun, Shen Ruiling finally understood this recipe.

"You will try it out in front of me, so I can show you," Shen Huanqun said.

Shen Ruiling imitated his grandfather and began to put Linggu into the furnace. He controlled the heat to make it dissolve into a liquid. The Linggu quickly turned into a liquid, which made Shen Ruiling a little excited, and then put in other auxiliary spirits. After the medicine,

Suddenly, with a "bang", a black smoke came out of the pill furnace, and Shen Ruiling knew that the elixir in it was useless by himself.

"You've put in too many accessories, and you haven't controlled the heat well. When removing miscellaneous things, you have to calm down and be more careful, and pour out the residue and continue." Shen Huanqun analyzed the reasons for the failure and let Shen Ruiling start again.

After a few more blasts, Shen Huanqun also taught Shen Ruiling some skills and experience.

"The fire room and the pill furnace will be given to you in the next time. You should hurry up and bring up the alchemy technique. These four bigu pills will be your food for the next day. I will go back to the shop first." After speaking, Shen Huanqun left the fire room.

Shen Ruiling sat down and carefully recalled what he had just observed and what his grandfather had said, and slowly digested what he had learned.

Finally, Shen Ruiling started his alchemy career again. Although he has made medicinal pills before, they are all first-order medicinal pills, which can be made with ordinary fire, and the effect is only useful for mortals, not for cultivators in the Qi training period. use.

Now refining the second-order medicinal herbs also gave him a lot of headaches. Fortunately, his temperament was still firm, and he was not discouraged by repeated failures. Every time he would reflect on the mistakes he just made.

Did you not control the ratio of them? Or is it too hot? This question appeared in Shen Ruiling's mind one by one. Of course, these discoveries require him to use practice time and time again to discover his own problems.

Successive failures can make people feel so powerless, but Shen Ruiling poured out the residue again and again and started again.

fail, fail...

A few days later, when Shen Jinghong sent someone to deliver the materials, Shen Ruiling had already used almost what his grandfather had left behind. He took over the batch of materials and hurriedly put them into alchemy.

After I don't know how many times I failed, a scent of elixir came out from the elixir furnace. Shen Ruiling looked at the bigu pill in his hand. Although the quality was average, and the success rate was not high, it already showed that he was a genuine person. The second-order alchemist was filled with the elixir into the bottle with joy.

Shen Ruiling sat down and recovered the spiritual energy consumption of the alchemy just now. With the operation of "Qingyun Jue", the spiritual energy circulated along the meridians again and again for a week.

Suddenly, the surrounding spiritual energy began to flow towards the body rapidly, and the spiritual energy in the meridians converged to the dantian. The spiritual energy in the dantian finally broke through the bottleneck of the sixth floor, and a large amount of spiritual energy entered the dantian. The reserves of spiritual energy reached the upper layer. Shen Ruiling knew that he Breakthrough.

It is now the seventh level of Qi training, and it is entering the late stage of Qi training. It can be said that the double happiness is coming, not only the alchemy technique has broken through, but also his own cultivation base has also broken through.

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Shen Ruiling lay on the stone bed. During this period of time, alchemy day and night, coupled with the sudden breakthrough, even the monks couldn't afford it. Shen Ruiling was ready to take a good night's sleep.

Although monks can rest by meditating, occasionally deep sleep can also help monks to better nourish their spirits.
