Senior Xue Yao walked into the wooden house, and the place returned to its original tranquility.
"One percent? Top alchemists only have a one percent success rate. How is this possible?" Chu Cheng shook his head, not quite believing it.
If it was really that difficult, how could those powerful men in ancient times rob a Lianxinhua plant to their death for the sake of their descendants?
Chu Cheng sat down cross-legged and took out an alchemy furnace from the storage ring. The alchemy furnace was ink-colored and engraved with a red bird icon and a fiery red flame pattern, as if it was really going to spurt out a ball.
Fire is coming.
This is the alchemy furnace used by Changsuntang during his lifetime. Its quality is naturally extraordinary, and it is a third-grade alchemy furnace.
Third-level alchemy furnaces are as rare as third-level alchemists in Qingzhou, only dozens of them.
When Chang Sun Tang was beheaded by Chu Cheng, his belongings were naturally swept away by Chu Cheng in droves. However, what was speechless was that Chang Sun Tang did not have many spiritual stones on his body, and there were only more than 3,000 high-grade spiritual stones.
Fortunately, there are many spiritual herbs and elixirs, and there is no shortage of elixirs used in the foundation building stage. The Ling Ling Powder used in the early stage of foundation building, and the spirit gathering pills used in the middle and late stages are all available, and it is not a small sum. In total, there are at least five
More than a hundred.
This is simply a one-stop service, the whole process is prepared for Chu Cheng. Just waiting for him to step into the foundation building.
It is not unreasonable to say that good fortune and misfortune always come together. In times of crisis, there will always be good fortune.
Chu Cheng took a deep breath, took out a Lianxin flower from the jade box, and placed it in the alchemy furnace.
Alchemy is rooted in earth fire and supplemented by hand magic. But this Ji Dao elixir is completely different.
It has no fire or determination, but uses the thoughts in the heart and the unity of mind and spirit to refine it into elixir.
The Lianxin flower was put into the alchemy furnace. Chu Cheng pinched his middle finger, and a drop of essence and blood fell from the fingertips and seeped into the flower. The pale yellow petals flashed a deep red.
This trace of essence and blood is to add a touch of sensitivity when refining the elixir.
Chu Cheng began to refine the elixir, and with the thought in his heart, he began to refine the Lianxinhua with that trace of inspiration.
Under this thought, Lian Xinhua began to slowly condense... This is the first step, the step of condensing the elixir.
Condensate the elixir first and then refine it, instead of forming it first and then condensing the elixir, skipping the second step.
As time passed, Lian Xinhua was refined into a yellow pill under Chu Cheng's will.
Chu Cheng has been immersed in this alchemy. This first step seems to be very simple, and he thinks it is very simple.
The elixir had already taken shape, and its round shape appeared in his sight.
The elixir seemed to be ready, but there was still a crack beneath the surface. Just when Chu Cheng used the power of his mind to heal the crack, a roar sounded from the elixir furnace. The smell of burning wafted from the elixir furnace.
come out.
"How could it fail?" Chu Cheng was puzzled. This seemed to be the simplest step.
For a person who is about to become a second-level alchemy master, condensing the elixir is the simplest step, and refining it is the most difficult. Generally speaking, an elixir can only be called an elixir if its content reaches more than 60%.
.
"I was careless, do it again." Chu Cheng poured out the elixir slag in the elixir furnace and put it in again.
But the same thing happened, and when the last crack was being healed, an explosion sounded.
Once, twice, three times...it wasn't until the thirty-sixth time that Chu Cheng stopped.
"No! I always feel like something is missing." Chu Cheng frowned. As expected, as Senior Xueyao said, this is extremely difficult to practice.
Only the top alchemy masters have a 1% chance. Chu Cheng is only a first-level alchemy master. He is still thousands of miles away from the top. Isn't it more difficult to refine Ji Dao Dan?
"Senior Xueyao!" Chu Cheng stood up and shouted towards the room.
A long time passed without any response. The world was still peaceful.
"That's all, as long as you work hard enough, an iron rod can be ground into a needle, let alone this." Chu Cheng sighed and sat cross-legged again. However, he was not in a hurry to practice elixirs, but closed his eyes to cultivate himself.
He was in a very irritable mood, and his mind was filled with anxiety. Although there were many Lianxinhua, there were only a thousand of them, and they could not afford such a squandering.
According to Chu Cheng's attainments in alchemy, I am afraid that even ten thousand Lianxinhua will not be enough. This is just the first step of condensing the elixir, and the second step of refining is probably even more difficult.
I don't know how long it took, but Chu Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
Chu Cheng looked up at the lake and smiled. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the previous scene.
Taichu Space, Taichu Blessing, and the original Xue Yao controlled the water to irrigate the spiritual grass, and it grew rapidly in an instant.
"Senior Xue Yao said that refining Ji Dao Dan in the Taichu space can increase your chances. I forgot about this before!" Chu Cheng looked at the lake with bright eyes.
Chu Cheng put another Lianxinhua into the alchemy furnace and began to catalyze it with his thoughts.
Time passed by, and just when the elixir was about to take shape, Chu Cheng pointed toward the lake. Water suddenly rose up in the lake in the distance, and fell into the elixir under the tug.
Suddenly! Thick mist rolled up from all directions, and as the water fell, spiritual energy rolled in from all around!
At this moment, the last crack on the elixir healed!
Chu Cheng smiled slightly, his expression immediately returned to calm, and he started refining in one go.
Refining is to remove impurities from the elixir and improve the purity of the elixir.
After a stick of incense, an explosion sounded...
"Failed!" Chu Cheng's face was stained with dirt in the explosion, and his face was completely black.
This failure is not considered a failure, the refining just now was just done too hastily, speeding up the process and causing the furnace to explode.
Chu Cheng took a deep breath and continued to refine the elixir. From the point of refining the elixir, he did it all at once.
A yellow elixir floats in the elixir furnace, turning around and releasing traces of black mist.
After a long time, this yellow pill gradually began to melt...
This is the easiest step to convert the elixir. After the elixir is transformed, the elixir is sublimated to refine the liquid to the extreme.
An hour later, Chu Cheng exhaled heavily, his body was sticky and covered in sweat.
When everything melted away, he reached a small lake, and the water from the lake came again.
While the elixir was re-forming into an elixir, the liquid, carrying a strong aura, seeped into the elixir.
There was a burst of clear light, and the elixir began to condense rapidly again. In just three breaths, a golden elixir appeared in front of him.
This is a golden elixir, ordinary yet extraordinary. It looks like an ordinary golden elixir on the outside, but it contains a Taoist charm inside.
"It's done!" Chu Cheng received the elixir in his hand and smiled happily.
Although one can only increase the success rate by half, as long as there are more of them, even an idiot can pile them up.
After the first time, there will be a second time, and it will be much easier.
Chu Cheng took out a jade box, put the Ji Dao Pill in it, and then took out a Lianxinhua and started refining it. After having the first experience, he became very skillful.
As time passed, the number of elixirs in the jade box containing the Jidao elixirs began to increase.
One, two, three... four...
More than a year later, the pill ashes around Chu Cheng had piled up into a hill. But the jade box was filled with more than a hundred Ji Dao pills.
"Finished!" Chu Cheng took back the last Jidao Pill and smiled. The jade box containing the Lianxinhua was already empty, and the last one was refined into a pill.
In this year, Chu Cheng failed more than 230 times and succeeded 148 times.
The success rate of top alchemists is only 1%, but Chu Cheng's success rate is about 40%, which is considered high.
Chu Cheng stood up, dusted off his hands, and went to the lake to clean himself. However, he found that when his hands touched the lake water, it was like touching nothingness.
"What's going on!" Chu Cheng exclaimed, the lake water can no longer be touched, but it can clearly water spiritual grass.
He then pointed, and the lake rippled and floated in front of him under the tug of his finger.
"Wow~!" The lake water scattered in the air, and the rich and sticky spiritual energy rolled around Chu Cheng.
This spiritual energy is very rich, more than a hundred times richer than the inner sect area of Luoyun Sect. If you practice in such an environment, your cultivation speed can be increased at least several times. It is a pity that these spiritual powers can only be seen but not touched.
It cannot be used for it.
"If I can practice here, I can reach the late stage of foundation building in less than ten years!" Chu Cheng looked at the heaven and earth, feeling a little hot and a little regretful in his heart.
"This is just a small piece of soil, and it cannot condense all the things in the Taichu space." At this moment, Xue Yao walked out of the house, shook his head and said: "With the blessing of Taichu, the success rate is only 40%.
It’s really a waste. If I change to that person, it would be 100%.”
Chu Cheng was a little speechless. He was just a nobody. How could someone who didn't even build a foundation compare with the supreme beings of ancient times?
"Okay, one hundred and forty-eight Ji Dao Pills. Although there is only a chance of success, as long as it is not too bad luck, it should be possible." As soon as Xue Yao finished speaking, before Chu Cheng could speak, he waved his hand.
As he waved his hand, Chu Cheng felt his surroundings turned upside down, and a suction force pulled him away from here.
Chu Cheng was in a trance and came into darkness again, followed by the sound of items falling from all around. It was a jade box filled with Ji Dao Dan, and it fell to the ground with a clattering sound.
As soon as Chu Cheng sent it out, he understood what was going on.
Advanced foundation building requires a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and although the spiritual energy in Taichu space is rich, it cannot be absorbed, which is not conducive to foundation building.
Chu Cheng sat down cross-legged and began to meditate with his eyes closed. It was said that only one month had passed in the outside world, but a year had passed in the cave.
When he refines the Ji Dao Dan, every time he drops a drop of blood essence, it consumes a lot of energy. It consumes more than three hundred drops of blood essence, which is also a huge drain on vitality. If he wants to advance to the Ji Dao realm, he must adjust the optimal
state.
Three days later, Chu Cheng, who was lying cross-legged on the ground, slowly opened his eyes.
He slapped the storage ring, and piles of spiritual stones poured out from it, immediately filling the entire cave.
