The first to compete were the Qi-training monks. Sword Master watched while talking to Jiang Li: "Sect Master Bai Hongtu seems to like to divide levels. I heard that he once advocated dividing pills into grades one to nine, nine grades.
Among them, the first grade is the highest and the ninth grade is the lowest. But for some unknown reason, there was no news later.
"The reason is very simple. The classification of elixirs into different grades is based on their efficacy. However, the grade of some elixirs is difficult to determine. For example, the aphrodisiac elixir produced by the Hehuan Sect can be taken by everyone from Nascent Soul to Qi Lian. You said it is aphrodisiac.
Is the elixir considered ninth grade or fifth grade?"
"Aphrodisiac pill?" Jian Jun was unfamiliar with the name of the pill.
"Oh yes, it was called Albizia Huan Dan in your time.
"Another example is the detoxification pill. Poisons below the golden elixir stage can be detoxified, but it is difficult to determine the grade."
"Another example is the Nine-Revolution Elixir, which is the highest grade and most toxic. Whoever eats it will die."
The Sword Lord asked again: "What about dividing the grades according to the difficulty of refining?"
"Good question. I guess in Sword Lord's era, the effect of the elixir was directly proportional to the difficulty of refining it. It's different now.
Jiang Li pointed at Su Wei: "Have you seen the one named Su Wei? He started it. He created a kind of elixir called Qi-Qi Dan, which requires ninety-nine and eighty-one days of sacrifice. There are more than ten kinds of precious pills.
The main medicine, thousands of auxiliary medicines, and the elixir thunder will come when the elixir is completed."
"How effective is such an amazing elixir?"
"Let monks in the Qi training period increase their success rate by 20% when building foundations."
"What?" Lord Jian thought he heard it wrong. Based on this complicated process, he believed that it would allow monks in the transformation stage to break through the integration stage.
Then you told me that this is for the Qi training period?
"He created the Qi Pill not for eating, but for showing off his skills, and the medicinal effect came second."
"Later, Huang Chengdan, the master of the elixir sect, was not to be outdone, and also created a pill that was very complicated to refine, but the effect was not as good as drinking boiled water."
"The two men fought and created a lot of similar prescriptions."
"Later, the alchemy world created a term to describe the behavior of these two people."
"What is it?"
“Shui Dan Fang.
On the competition field, many young alchemy masters in the Qi training stage show off their skills, trying to show off their creative alchemy techniques in front of elders in the alchemy industry and win attention.
This conference was hosted by the Spiritual Medicine Sect. They provided each contestant with a pill furnace without spiritual intelligence for competition. However, some people found another way and did not want to use the pill furnace provided by the Spiritual Medicine Sect.
For example, Jiang Li noticed that a young alchemist took out a nuclear induction cooker to make alchemy.
The nuclear induction cooker is imported from Ringing Bell World.
"Ten grams of flower buds, 16.8 grams of dried sandworms... put them into the wall-breaking machine, start it, and pour the powder into the pot..." The little alchemist rambled on about the steps, and followed them step by step.
A step-by-step plan and methodical alchemy may seem rigid, but the effect is unexpectedly good.
Jiang Li nodded lightly: "The cultivation level of the monks during the Qi training period is too low and they are not good at controlling the temperature of the flame. This induction cooker is a lot more convenient.
"Also, the alchemist has to do two things at once, controlling the temperature of the flame and adding medicinal materials at the same time. This is still too difficult during the Qi training period. This problem can also be avoided by using an induction cooker."
“Innovative, good.”
In addition to using induction cookers to make elixirs, there are also a series of kitchen utensils imported from Ringing Bell World such as rice cookers and nuclear thermal pots to make elixirs, and the results are very good.
Using these things to make alchemy looks different from the overall style of the Kyushu world, but the effect is just as Jiang Li analyzed, it is quite brilliant.
In the end, the alchemy furnace won first place, and a talented orthodox little alchemist won second place, but the third place went to the person who used the induction cooker.
You know, the third-place alchemy talent is far from being considered outstanding, just average.
The leader of the Spiritual Medicine Sect nodded with satisfaction. This third person was a disciple of the Spiritual Medicine Sect. This disciple proved that lack of talent can be made up for by external force.
What their elixir sect pursues is never number one, but sales volume and price.
Using induction cookers and rice cookers to make alchemy means that the cost of training low-level alchemists is greatly reduced, and the output of elixirs will increase. In the low-end market, it is impossible for Alchemy Peak to compete with them.
When it came to the foundation building competition, a certain alchemist took out something he had never seen before.
"Everyone, please see, this is an automatic alchemy machine jointly developed by me, Lu Ban Zong, and a pharmaceutical group in Ringing Bell World. You only need to put the raw materials of the elixir into it, and it can automatically produce the elixir."
As the alchemist spoke, he put the elixir in. As the machine shook slightly, black elixirs spit out. The alchemy was made faster than all the alchemists and alchemy furnaces present.
"Look, this way we can refine the Peiyuan Dan, and the utilization rate of the medicinal materials is over 40%. If we continue to research and develop, we can continue to improve the utilization rate of the medicinal materials.
Elders in the field of alchemy are very surprised. The utilization rate of medicinal materials is 40%, which is already not low for an alchemist in the foundation-building stage.
"Oh, pure machine production, no soul." There are also some old people who are disdainful of this production method, thinking that it deviates from the original intention of alchemy.
However, considering that the alchemists on the field were originally from the Luban Sect, they had no original intention of alchemy.
They just want to make money.
An old man in the field of medicine refining came forward to inspect it: "It is a very common Peiyuan Pill. The advantage is that it produces the pill quickly and saves manpower."
This automatic alchemy machine might be promoted in Kyushu. Some elders in the field of alchemy came up with this idea.
Su Wei looked at the master of the elixir sect with great interest: "Old Huang, how come your elixir sect didn't invent this thing, but was overtaken by the Luban sect?'
"You think I haven't thought of this method? The Luban Sect's thing is certainly very efficient, but how can it train a real alchemist?"
"This thing has great limitations and cannot produce complex elixirs. If everyone uses Luban Sect's stuff, it will reduce the number of alchemists. In the long run, the overall number of alchemists will decrease, and the number of high-level alchemists will also decrease. Who is responsible for refining high-level alchemists?"
Pill?"
"I let the monks in the Qi training stage use induction cookers because there is no need to control firepower during the Qi training stage. When they reach the foundation building stage, they can naturally solve the firepower problem. When they reach the golden elixir stage, they don't need technological help at all and return to their original state.
Alchemist training route.
Although the elixir sect likes to win on price, they are also alchemists and pursue higher levels of alchemy. They believe that over-reliance on full automation has constrained themselves.
Having said this, the leader of the Spiritual Medicine Sect frowned slightly. It was a good thing that he persisted, but this thing from the Luban Sect did seriously threaten their market, and he had not yet thought of a good solution.
"Let's take it one step at a time." The master of the Spiritual Medicine Sect sighed. Connecting to other worlds and encountering new technologies are both opportunities and challenges. At the same time, it is too difficult to stick to one's heart.
