In half a year, Yu Xiao refined a total of twenty-four furnaces of Qi Qi pills, and obtained 251 finished pills. Half of the pills were of slightly inferior quality, while the rest had caught up with the Qi Qi pills sold on the market.

Dan's quality.

In general, the process of learning alchemy was quite smooth. Of course, this was only for Qi Qi Dan. If he changed the elixir recipe, he might have to go through the same old path again.

Fortunately, this is not a difficult task. With Yunshangxian Mansion as a strong backing, he can still sustain the consumption.

Over the past two years, more than half of the water in the spiritual spring has been accumulated. When ripening the spirit grass, it was basically not consumed much.

After all, the Jiling grass that can be used to refine elixirs only needs to be two to three years old, and half a drop can often be used to make it.

Calculated in this way, the consumption of ripening a crop of Ji Ling grass is equivalent to that of ripening an ordinary elixir to about two hundred years. In addition to the recovery of the spiritual spring itself, there will be no obvious consumption after half a year. On the contrary,

There's a little more.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the recovery speed of Lingquan was faster than before. He still didn't know what caused it, but it was a good thing for him anyway.

Because his current consumption of pills has reached an alarming level.

After breaking through the fifth level of Qi refining, he is now refining the Qi Absorbing Pill faster.

Usually, you need to consume about three to four pills a day, and one hundred pills a month, which is equivalent to one hundred spiritual stones.

Normally a registered disciple might not earn a hundred spiritual stones in a year, but now he needs to consume so much in a month, which is already an exaggeration.

On average, he would have to refine ten furnaces of Qi-Building Pills in a month, and one crop of Spirit-Ji Ling Grass could only last two months of practice.

No wonder the disciples in the Qi refining stage will constantly replace the elixirs with more advanced ones as their cultivation level increases.

If you keep using low-level elixirs for practice, this consumption rate is a bit scary.

If he hadn't learned alchemy to be self-sufficient, I'm afraid he would have to find a way to get spiritual stones now.

Of the 1,575 spiritual stones he had accumulated two years ago, after deducting some of the consumption, he still had 850 yuan left.

That part of the consumption was basically spent on purchasing elixirs, otherwise his cultivation speed would not be so fast.

Counting from the time he broke through the third level of Qi Refining to the present, it only took him more than three years to cultivate to the fifth level of Qi Refining, which has surpassed most of the registered disciples of Luoxia Peak.

Basically, there won't be any big bottlenecks during the Qi refining period. At most, he needs to polish his magic power. At this rate, he is not far away from being promoted to a disciple.

Time flies and it’s half a year again.

On this day, Yu Xiao was refining elixirs in the cave.

He used the secret of igniting fire with one hand to shoot flames into the alchemy furnace, and with the other hand he slowly put a few spiritual grasses into it, skillfully controlling the flames and smelting the spiritual grasses.

This method of alchemy uses human fire, which is a great test for the monk's magic power and control.

Of course, there are also people who use earth fire to make elixirs. Comparing the two, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Yu Xiao's method is not restricted by any circumstances and can make elixirs anytime and anywhere.

From a process perspective, refining any elixir can be divided into two stages, one is the smelting stage, and the other is the elixir condensation stage.

As the name suggests, the smelting stage requires extracting the essence of the spiritual grass and turning it into spiritual liquid. This stage is often the easiest to fail.

Because each monk has different control over the fire-making technique, and is also affected by proficiency, the temperature and duration of the flame will directly determine the success of the smelting stage.

If the flame temperature is low, it will be difficult to extract the essence of the spiritual grass. Once the temperature is too high, even just a little, the essence of the spiritual grass will be lost, or even directly turn into a pile of carbon residue.

In addition, the monks also need to adjust the flame temperature from time to time according to the degree of smelting of the spiritual grass. These require a certain amount of experience and accurate judgment, both of which are indispensable.

Therefore, the biggest advantage of making alchemy with human fire is that the monks can accurately control the flame, which is very beneficial during the smelting stage.

After successfully completing the smelting stage, you will then enter the pill condensation stage.

The essence of the spiritual liquid extracted from the spiritual grass needs to be fused into a ball at high temperature and condensed into an elixir. In the subsequent process, it gradually tends to become an elixir. In this way, a elixir is made.

This process requires a stable flame, and this is the advantage of ground fire.

It is actually not difficult to judge the quality of an elixir. You only need to look at whether the elixir skin is round, whether the elixir color is calm, and whether there is any peculiar smell.

Yu Xiao is now very good at refining Qi Qi Pill, and has easily completed the process of smelting and condensing the pill.

In a short time, eleven pills of Ji Qi, which were full of grains, round in color and exuding a faint medicinal fragrance, were suspended in the pill furnace. He stretched out his hand and the pill fell into the prepared porcelain bottle.

"Huh, this is already the ninth furnace. After refining one more furnace, you can practice with peace of mind in the next month." Looking at the two vials in front of him, a hint of joy flashed in Yu Xiao's eyes.

At this time, it was already late at night, and the bright moonlight shone on him through the skylight of the cave.

At this time in the past, he would fill the cave with containers filled with water, and then practice "Taiyin Seventy-Two Chapters".

However, he has not practiced any more recently.

The reason is very simple, because the first level of "The Seventy-Two Chapters of Taiyin" has been completed, and he has also comprehended most of the content of the second level.

Right now, just placing some containers filled with clean water can no longer meet his cultivation needs. He needs more water.

Thinking of this, he stood up and left the cave, using the Soaring Cloud technique, he headed straight to the west side of Night King Peak. After walking not far, he landed on a mountain stream.

In the dense forest ahead, there is a sparkling land. There is a small natural lake, which is an excellent place to practice "Taiyin Seventy-two Chapters".

Taking out the array plate, placing five small flags around, and activating the barrier, Yu Xiao entered the lake and sat cross-legged on the lake.

After more than two years of practice, the Water Flower in his body has continued to grow, and is now the size of a fist, shaped like a drop of water in the sea of ​​qi.

The shape of the water drop is perfect, without any extraneous trace, like a finely carved jade, which is the first sign of perfection.

Before this, this ball of water was completely dispersed. It took Yu Xiao a long time to condense it into a ball, and it took a long time to polish it into the shape of water droplets.

The first level of "Taiyin Seventy-two Chapters" alone took three years.

This is why most of the registered disciples in the sect will not pursue any advanced skills when their cultivation is shallow, because it is really a waste of time.

Yu Xiao has already embarked on this path, so there is no possibility of giving up halfway.
Chapter completed!
