Chen Xuan's inner energy recovered and he stopped practicing.
Just when he was about to find his neighbor Zhong Wanming, the other party came to look for him.
Zhong Wanming has been farming for more than ten years, first planting blood tooth rice, and then golden beam rice. Five or six years ago, he started planting elixirs. The five acres of elixirs planted not long ago have all matured.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I came here this time to buy some talismans."
When Zhong Wanming came over, he didn't mince words and directly explained his purpose.
"What kind of talisman does Brother Zhong want?" Chen Xuan asked: "I still have some fireball talismans and golden light talismans in stock, as well as some light body talismans, soul-suppressing talismans, invisibility talismans, and hemostatic talismans."
In addition to the talismans submitted to the office in the past three months, Chen Xuan also saved a lot of talismans himself in case of emergency needs.
The Yuanzhou government army and the Taiping Rebellion Army are still in a stalemate. Every time they fight, the low-level spiritual talismans consumed are calculated in "ten thousand". Such a huge consumption is impossible for both the government army and the rebel army.
Fight a protracted war.
Who knows when the decisive battle will begin.
Chen Xuan paid attention to the war in Jiujiang County every day. As soon as there was any sign that something was wrong, he would immediately flee.
In particular, some casual cultivators who were farming left the market after harvesting the mature spiritual rice and elixir, but they paid back all the land rent and house rent they owed before leaving.
At this time, the Five Alliances also sent Qi Refining monks to station themselves at the entrance to Fangshi, making it impossible for anyone to take advantage of the loophole.
"Bring me four hundred fireball charms, two hundred soul-soothing charms, one hundred golden light charms, fifty invisibility charms, fifty light body charms, a total of eight hundred spiritual charms."
Zhong Wanming thought for a while and said.
"so much."
Chen Xuan was also surprised.
Originally, when buying elementary magic talismans in the free trade zone, one pound of blood tooth rice could buy six. But now the price has increased. One pound of blood tooth rice can only buy four. The shops in Wujia League in Fang City are even more expensive.
You can only buy two pieces of rice for a pound of blood teeth.
There are a total of 800 primary talismans, which is two hundred kilograms of blood tooth rice, worth ten jade spirit coins.
For casual cultivators, this is no small sum of money.
Casual cultivators can only earn a dozen or twenty jade spirit coins a year. Some casual cultivators who have just come to Fangshi cannot even earn ten jade spirit coins a year. Most of them only buy a dozen or so talismans and use them.
If I continue to buy, I will rarely buy so many talismans at once.
"Brother Zhong, is something wrong?"
Chen Xuan asked.
"To be honest, fellow Taoist, the situation in Yuanzhou is unstable now. I am planning to leave Yuanzhoufang City and go to Bizhoufang City for a while." Zhong Wanming said: "But it is a long way to Bizhoufang City, and I don't know anything else.
It depends on the market situation, so make more preparations and prepare some magic charms just in case."
"I see." Chen Xuan nodded and said, "I have the magic talisman, but now I need a batch of elixirs. I hope I can use the elixirs to trade and convert the jade spirit money into equivalent elixirs."
"What elixir do fellow Taoists need?"
Zhong Wanming asked.
Immediately, Chen Xuan reported the three elixirs needed to refine the Qi Condensing Pill.
"For the excess, I can pay with intermediate talismans."
Chen Xuan continued.
"Intermediate spiritual talisman, Taoist friend has an intermediate spiritual talisman."
Hearing this, Zhong Wanming was also a little surprised.
Talisman makers who can draw intermediate spiritual talismans are basically monks who have reached the Qi Refining Realm.
Among the casual cultivators, there are only two Talisman Makers who can draw intermediate spiritual talismans. Although they are casual cultivators, they also serve as guest ministers in the Five Alliances. Their status is comparable to that of the deacons of the Five Alliances, or even higher.
"Brother Zhong, please take a look."
Chen Xuan took out the Pyroblast Talisman.
"This is the intermediate talisman Pyroblast Talisman."
After receiving the talisman, Zhong Wanming immediately recognized the talisman in his hand.
The spirituality contained in it is much richer than the primary spiritual talisman.
The power of the Pyroblast Talisman is naturally much greater than that of the Fireball Talisman. The Fireball Talisman will be reduced to ashes within a few breaths as long as it is hit by a fireball against a warrior at the physical level. However, against an Inner Qi Realm warrior, there is
The inner energy protecting the body will result in injuries at most.
If the Inner Qi Realm martial artist wears heavy armor, he will basically be immune to the Fireball Talisman.
Unless there are dozens or dozens of fireball talismans blasting together.
But the Pyroblast Talisman is enough to blow up even heavy armor.
If the Inner Qi Realm martial artist does not have a magical weapon to protect himself, he will only die if he is hit by the Pyroblast Talisman. Even the Qi Refining Realm monks will be a certain threat.
Ordinary Qi Refining Realm monks practice intermediate spells, which are as powerful as the Pyroblast Talisman.
"I want the Pyroblast Talisman. How many are there in total?"
Zhong Wanming said.
"I only have six Pyroblast Talismans on me." Chen Xuan said solemnly: "If Brother Zhong needs more, you can stay in Fangshi for a while. I am drawing a few."
"Six is a bit too little, so I'll stay for one more month."
Zhong Wanming said.
After negotiating the price.
The two of them made a deal.
Chen Xuan obtained a batch of elixirs for refining Qi Condensing Pills.
The only three elixirs needed for the Qi Condensing Pill are Huang Jingzhi, Blood Spirit Grass and Chalcedony Flower.
Chen Xuan had already prepared the remaining dozens of medicinal materials.
After sending Zhong Wanming away, Chen Xuan took out the cloud and mist formation flags and arranged the cloud and mist formation to protect the courtyard.
"Start refining the Qi Condensing Pill."
After setting up the formation, Chen Xuan took out the alchemy furnace.
"Yunyan Huangbaishu" contains the recipe for Qi Condensing Pill and the method of refining the pill.
The order in which different medicinal materials are put into the elixir furnace, the dosage of different medicinal materials, and the heat, etc. are all clearly written on the elixir recipe, so Chen Xuan only needs to follow the steps written on the elixir recipe to refine it.
The brewing of elixirs takes longer than ordinary medicinal materials.
It took two full days before Chen Xuan refined the elixir into an ointment.
After the ointment was formed, Chen Xuan used a shovel to stir the ointment evenly in the alchemy furnace and burned it for about three hours. Then he extinguished the fire and allowed the ointment to cool down.
After the ointment cooled, he rubbed the ointment into thumb-sized elixirs.
Medicine 21
Chen Xuan opened the proficiency panel.
The Qi Condensing Pill was successfully refined, and the medicine proficiency, which had reached the fifth level, was also improved accordingly.
"The Qi Condensing Pill was successfully refined."
Chen Xuan began to count the pills.
There are thirty Qi-Condensing Pills in total, worth sixty Jade Spirit Coins, and a total of fourteen Jade Spirit Coins were spent on purchasing the elixir. In this way, only forty-six Jade Spirit Coins were earned.
"No, the recipe for Qi Condensing Pill is not a secret in Fangshi. There is a difference of forty-six jade spirit coins between the elixir refined into elixir and the elixir. Zhong Wanming cannot possibly not know about it."
"Sure enough, the effect is much worse than the genuine Qi Condensing Pill."
After refining a Qi Condensing Pill, Chen Xuan felt the difference.
"It seems that the formula of this Qi Condensing Pill still needs to be improved!"
Chen Xuan thought secretly in his heart.
The formula of the Qi Condensing Pill is not a secret in the market, because the elixir that everyone grows is the main ingredient of the Qi Condensing Pill. Some people who are proficient in pharmacology can also analyze the other medicinal materials, but the dosage of them can only be slowed down by Huo Hou.
I tried it slowly.
This is just like when Huang Hong of the Giant Bear Martial Arts Hall sold his cheap secret skin-scaling medicine. The pharmacist behind it analyzed the formula, but the effect of the refined skin-scaling medicine was only as good as that of the genuine skin-scaling medicine.
Half effective.
The secret medicine for microdermabrasion that Chen Xuan analyzed at the beginning was not as effective as the genuine product.
Taoist Yunyan's Qi Condensing Pill recipe must have been worked out by himself, and it is not a truly authentic formula.
In other words, the prescriptions of the Qi Condensing Pills that the casual cultivators in Fangshi know are all analyzed by themselves. Compared with the genuine Qi Condensing Pills, the effect of the refined Qi Condensing Pills is naturally much worse.
But this is not a problem for Chen Xuan.
As long as it is refined several times and improved, the recipe for the authentic Qi Condensing Pill can be analyzed.
