To avoid spiritual changes caused by individual differences in elixirs, a large amount of refining is required to accumulate experience and use experience to reduce the impact of such errors.
If there was an alchemist in front of him who had been immersed in alchemy for decades, Master Ma would at most say that his talent was good.
But Li Shiming had only received his alchemy inheritance for a few months, and he was already at such a level. His alchemy potential was unimaginable.
Master Ma could see that every step of Li Shiming's operation was based on the knowledge from his alchemy inheritance. However, Li Shiming took the alchemy inheritance to the extreme and refined the perfect elixir with a basic alchemy inheritance.
Following the execution of the 'Seven Finger Pill Collecting Technique', ten 'Mingxin Jiugong Pills' flew out of the alchemy furnace and fell into the jade bottle that had been prepared earlier.
"Uncle Ma, please take a look!" Li Shiming handed the jade bottle to Uncle Ma and said with a bow.
"You don't have to look anymore, I am wronging you by asking you to be a junior alchemist. In addition, your alchemy furnace is really inappropriate for your status. I have an alchemy furnace here that I used during the foundation building period!" Master Ma said.
He waved his hand and took out a pill furnace and said.
Li Shiming's eyes lit up. The alchemy furnace that Master Ma took out was a spiritual weapon. When he used the high-grade magic weapon, he felt the shortcomings of the alchemy furnace.
As a foundation-building monk, high-grade magic weapons can no longer meet the needs of the realm.
It's just that the more benefits he gets from Master Ma, the more favors he feels he owes, and these favors have to be repaid.
"Take it, I have been friends with Xiao Su for many years, and his disciple is half of my disciple. You have obtained my alchemy inheritance and become an alchemist. Why do you still care about this foreign thing?" Master Ma's eyes widened.
I saw Li Shiming's hesitation.
"Uncle, I want to refine the foundation-building elixir, but I don't know how to get it?" Li Shiming put away the spiritual weapon elixir furnace and bowed to ask for advice.
This is the biggest purpose of his coming here this time. Whether it is the foundation-building elixir or the second-grade elixir, he needs to consider it.
Although there are some elixirs among his trophies, those elixirs also need matching elixirs to refine the elixirs. At present, he has not been able to talk about self-developed elixirs.
"Wait a minute, I'll call Xiao Su, but I can't teach you everything in vain!" Master Ma did not answer Li Shiming immediately, but said with a smile after issuing a magic formula.
Not long after waiting, Elder Su's figure walked in from outside the Alchemy Cauldron Hall.
Judging from Elder Su's posture, he must be very familiar with this place.
"Old Ma, did Shiming cause something to happen to you? You, as a junior uncle, must be tolerant!" Elder Su looked at Li Shiming, who was standing with his hands tied, and turned to joke to Uncle Ma.
"Xiao Su, I want to accept Li Shiming as my registered disciple!" Master Ma said seriously.
Elder Su put away his smile and looked at Uncle Ma and then at Li Shiming with doubts in his eyes.
If Master Ma said these words in public, he would probably be joking, but in private, he would be extremely solemn, so he really wanted to accept Li Shiming as a registered disciple.
What is Master Uncle Ma's identity? No Jindan cultivator in the sect dares to offend him, even the Yuan Ying ancestor has to give him face.
Because he is an alchemy master, an alchemy master who can refine elixirs for the Golden elixir monks and Yuanying ancestors.
This status is enough to run rampant in the sect. If you don't give face, you don't have to think about alchemy. No one dares to offend the alchemy master and give him precious elixirs to make alchemy. If he fails, he will lose all his money.
No return.
"You have your eye on this kid Shi Ming. I agree with you to accept him as a registered disciple, but you should tell me what you like about him. I'm also very curious!" Elder Su nodded in agreement without much hesitation.
This is a good thing. Li Shiming has become Master Ma's registered disciple, and there is no need to worry about elixirs in the future.
"When this kid found the Muyang Clover for you, he snatched the Red Sun Spirit Fire from the Red Sun Bear. Look at the elixir he just refined!" Master Ma heard Elder Su's agreement and smiled.
Li Shiming took the jade bottle in his hand and threw it over.
Elder Su is not an ignorant monk like Li Shiming. He naturally knows what the Red Yang Spiritual Fire is.
When he heard that the Muyang clover was snatched from the hands of Chiyang Xiong, his eyes became softer when he looked at Li Shiming. This disciple became more and more satisfied with it.
"High-grade first-grade elixir, produced in one furnace?" He opened the jade bottle in his hand and looked at it for a moment before looking at Li Shiming in surprise and asked.
Li Shiming nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.
Elder Su looked at Uncle Ma again, and Uncle Ma nodded proudly.
"I gave him an alchemy inheritance on the day he became a disciple, and he relied on the alchemy inheritance to learn alchemy on his own. I was shocked when he came to see me today!" Master Ma focused on the alchemy inheritance he gave him. This is for sure.
inheritance.
Even if Li Shiming does not become his registered disciple, this alchemy inheritance cannot be erased.
"Shiming, you must study alchemy with Master Ma attentively!" Elder Su told Li Shiming, and then he gave Li Shiming a look and said, "Why don't you serve tea to Master Ma quickly!"
Only then did Li Shiming realize that Elder Su had already put a cup filled with tea into his hands.
"Master, drink tea!" Since he is a registered disciple, his apprenticeship does not need to be announced to the public, so the ceremony is very simple.
Uncle Ma smiled and took the teacup, took a sip, and helped Li Shiming up.
"Shiming, you just asked me how to get the foundation-building elixir. There are two options. One is to accept the sect's alchemy task. The sect's alchemy task is a mandatory task for alchemists. Each alchemist has a corresponding alchemy task.
quantity.
As for the sect's alchemy task, with my consent, you can take over the refining task of the elixir in the early stage of foundation building. The sect's alchemy task requires stability. Every furnace of elixir must be taken away by the sect regardless of whether the alchemist succeeds or not.
Eighty percent of them are elixirs.
Of course, if your alchemy level is not good enough and you don't even have an 80% success rate, then you can refine a lower-level elixir. Therefore, the sect's alchemy mission requires stability and no refining failure.
The second is to accept the monk's private alchemy mission, which can be done from the sect's mission, or it can be done privately.
Generally speaking, the alchemist will get one-third of the finished pill. This is the rule of the alchemist. Even the best friends cannot break it!" At this point, Master Ma glanced at Elder Su.
"When Lao Ma was refining the 'Three Yang Returning Pill', he took one of the 'Three Yang Returning Pill' from me!" Elder Su said helplessly.
"For the golden elixir stage, the number of elixirs in a furnace depends on the number of elixirs. In any case, as long as it exceeds one, you must receive one elixir as reward. If it reaches four, you will receive two elixirs as reward."
!" Master Ma explained proudly.
Li Shiming secretly smacked his tongue, this alchemist is really dark.
But then I thought about it, I also became an alchemist, and I was also the one who blackmailed other monks, so that would be fine.
"Master, what if the private alchemy fails?" Li Shiming asked again.
"If you miss it, that monk will be unlucky, and my alchemy master's work will be in vain. What else can I do?" Master Ma asked in return, spreading his hands.
Li Shiming truly felt the specialness of the alchemist. This is a profession that ensures winning but never losing.
Of course, if the failure rate is really high, no monk would dare to ask the alchemist to take action.
"Shi Ming, you have been coming here every day recently to refine a second-grade elixir with the second-grade elixir I have here. After you produce the finished product, I will directly let you become an intermediate alchemist. That way you can
You can accept the mission of the foundation-building elixir. This is my initiation gift for you!" Master Ma thought about the arrangement and arranged it.
"Yes!" Li Shiming knew that Master Ma was taking care of him and bowed in response.
It was the first time to refine the second-grade elixir, and I didn’t know how much second-grade elixir was consumed. Master Ma, no, I should call him Master Ma now, was quite a mastermind.
Master Ma also has his own ideas. Based on his judgment of Li Shiming's current level of alchemy, he only needs to be familiar with the second-grade elixir, and he can quickly refine the second-grade elixir.
Besides, investing in a disciple with potential is not a loss at all.
"You go back first!" Master Ma waved his hand.
After Li Shiming left, Master Ma smiled and took out the jade box that Li Shiming brought, took some spiritual tea from it, and brewed two cups of spiritual tea, one for himself and one for Elder Su.
"Did you make this spiritual tea? You put all your efforts in alchemy into the spiritual tea, it's really extraordinary!" Elder Su took a sip of the spiritual tea, immediately tasted the flavor, and praised with a smile.
"It's not made by me, it's the filial piety of my named disciple!" Master Ma also picked up the cup. The spiritual tea that Elder Su took out for Li Shiming to become his disciple was also of second grade, but compared with the spiritual tea in the cup, the quality was inferior.
A lot.
"Is it made by Shi Ming? Such a good spiritual tea doesn't know how to respect me, it only thinks about outsiders!" Elder Su snorted coldly.
Master Ma choked on his mouthful of tea at this sentence and almost sprayed the spiritual tea on Elder Su's face.
Li Shiming returned to Jianzhi Peak and saw the three female followers who were busy. He thought that he had not expressed anything in recent days.
"Ye Lingyun, come here!" He waved to Ye Lingyun.
"I have met you, sir!" Ye Lingyun came to Li Shiming respectfully and saluted.
"Thank you for your hard work these days. There are three bottles of elixir here. One bottle for each of you, you can distribute it!" Li Shiming handed over the three bottles of 'Mingxin Jiugong Dan' and explained.
"Thank you for the reward, sir!" Ye Lingyun reached out and took the elixir and thanked him.
In fact, after the three monks entered Sword Holding Peak, their respective families were still providing training resources.
Monks like them who have no chance to join a sect can enter a large sect like Shushan Sect. Although they enter as followers, the benefits they can enjoy are far beyond those of casual cultivators.
In addition, due to Li Shiming's status, the family is still providing training resources, so their training has no impact.
Li Shiming looked at their work and saw that all the spiritual fields and spiritual plants were growing very well, which showed that they had put a lot of effort into it.
He didn't say anything, thinking that he would use elixirs as reward in the future. There were still a lot of elixirs during the Qi refining period, and they could be easily refined to meet the needs of the three female followers.
"What did you tell me?" Wan Qian asked curiously.
"Your Excellency gave each of us a bottle of elixir as a reward for our recent work!" Ye Lingyun replied with a smile.
The elixir is second, the key is Li Shiming's recognition of them, this is the most important.
It can be said that they are tied to Li Shiming, and Li Shiming's approval is extremely important to them.
Li Shiming almost ignored them before, which made them worried in private.
Ye Lingyun gave the jade bottle in his hand to Wan Qian and Lu Yingtong. They came from fairly good families, and they were not unfamiliar with elixirs.
However, when they opened the jade bottles and saw the elixir inside, they were all surprised.
"They are all high-grade first-grade elixirs. There are ten of them, which is enough for me to practice for a month!" Ye Lingyun's eyes widened and he said excitedly.
The reason why they want to enter the Shushan Sect is because of the aura and environment here. This is their hope of practicing.
If Li Shiming is willing to help them, they can also obtain the sect's foundation-building elixir through Li Shiming, fulfilling their dream of foundation-building.
However, they did not expect that Li Shiming would give such valuable elixirs, high-grade first-grade elixirs. Only monks trained in the clan could receive this kind of treatment.
They felt that they were following the right master, and they paid more attention to the work of Jianzhi Peak.
Li Shiming didn't think too much. After returning to the cave, he immediately began to check the Red Yang Spirit Fire in Ling Lake.
In the past, he didn't care about the Chiyang Spiritual Fire. Every day, the Chiyang Spiritual Fire would swallow up a little fire and thunder spiritual power, and he didn't care about the small amount.
After listening to Master Ma's introduction, he realized that he needed to actively inject fire spiritual power into the Red Yang Spiritual Fire in order for the Red Yang Spiritual Fire to grow.
The fire and thunder spiritual power that the Red Yang Spiritual Fire consumes daily is to maintain its own energy.
Li Shiming's thoughts moved slightly, and he sent a burst of fire and thunder spiritual power into the Red Yang Spiritual Fire, and issued a command to devour the Red Yang Spiritual Fire in his heart.
The red sun spiritual fire swallowed up the fire thunder spiritual power, and as the flames swayed, they seemed to grow slightly.
He induced another burst of fire and thunder spiritual power to be swallowed by the Red Yang Spiritual Fire. He swallowed ten bursts of fire and thunder spiritual power in a row. Only then did the Red Yang Spiritual Fire send feedback that it could not be swallowed.
Li Shiming breathed a sigh of relief. This swallowing used up almost one-tenth of the spiritual power in his body.
That is to say, the Five Elements Thunder Spiritual Power in his body has always maintained a balanced state of mutual conversion under the action of the 'Five Elements Nai Qi Formation'. It only takes a while to use other Thunder Spiritual Power to replenish the consumption of Fire Thunder Spiritual Power.
There is no need to worry about the lack of fire and thunder spiritual power.
Feeling the red Yang spiritual fire that had grown in size, he took out the secret method of condensing the spiritual fire aura given by Master Ma.
The secret method is not very difficult, it is mainly the use of spiritual power skills, setting up a spiritual power barrier around the Red Yang Spiritual Fire in the body, and sealing the breath of the Red Yang Spiritual Fire within the spiritual power barrier.
It took him almost an hour to activate the secret method in his spiritual lake. Unless he sensed the aura of the Red Yang Spiritual Fire with his mind, it would be as if it was not there. This shows that this secret method is indeed effective.
