For two hundred kilograms of purple gold, Li Yu exchanged two Foundation Establishment Pills from the sect. In addition to the two Pills given to him by Jiang Li and the one given to him by Patriarch Xuanzhen, Li Yu already had five Foundation Establishment Pills.
Five spiritual veins can average to one.
However, the Foundation Establishment Pill is not like the Tongmai Pill. After taking it, it is not 100% foundation-building, and five Foundation Establishment Pills may not be enough.
Therefore, the business with Xu Yitian Qi must continue.
Even if Li Yu has established the foundation, there is also Zhou Zixuan, and Ling'er will be added later, the more foundation building pills, the better.
Although he has stored five foundation-building pills, Li Yu is not in a hurry to take them. His magic power has not yet been compressed to the limit. Someone will help him collect purple gold, so he can practice with peace of mind.
While Li Yu was practicing with all his heart, he was tens of thousands of miles away, in a certain cave-like secret realm that several demon sects belonged to.
Xu Yi and one of his spirit ghosts were fighting with a red-haired young man.
Not long ago, he discovered a Yuling fruit tree on a remote cliff in this secret realm. There were five mature Yuling fruits on the tree. It was originally a big harvest. Unexpectedly, when he was picking it, he was struck by this person.
The guys from the Demon Flame Gate saw it.
The two fought for a long time, but neither could do anything to the other.
Although Xu Yi has a spirit ghost, the red-haired young man is surrounded by countless fire crows. These fire crows are all red and burning with flames, which is a perfect restraint for the spirit ghost.
The red-haired young man looked at Xu Yi and sneered: "Xu, your spirit ghost is of no use to me. If you know the truth, hand over those jade spirit fruits quickly, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude..."
Xu Yi was quite helpless. If his five spirit ghosts were still there and he set up the five ghost soul refining array, this guy from the Demon Flame Sect wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.
It's a pity that he only has one spirit ghost left, and his strength is greatly weakened. He can only compete with this person from the Demon Flame Sect on a equal footing. If he continues like this, the outcome is still uncertain.
Xu Yi also replied unceremoniously: "The Jade Spirit Fruit is here. If you have the ability, you can get it yourself..."
As soon as he finished speaking, blazing rain of fire fell from above his head. Xu Yi held up a hemispherical water curtain to block all the rain of fire. At the same time, a flaming spear formed in the hand of the red-haired man and shot towards
His water curtain came.
laugh……
The flames and the water curtain collided, making a harsh sound. The two of them attacked and defended. In a short period of time, the flames and the water curtain actually reached a stalemate.
In this way, whoever wins will depend on whose mana is exhausted first.
However, their strength is similar, they are both at the peak of dual spiritual energy refining. Under normal circumstances, their mana will be exhausted at the same time.
Continuously casting spells consumes a lot of mana. Soon, the water curtain becomes thinner and thinner, but the flames also become weaker and weaker.
The red-haired young man took out a rejuvenating pill and threw it into his mouth. Most of his magic power was restored in an instant. Although the alchemy of the Demon Flame Sect cannot be compared with the righteous Kunlun way, it is still the best in the evil way. Xu Yi, this idiot, is actually stupid.
To fight him with magic power...
But as soon as this thought came to his mind, he saw Xu Yi taking out an elixir and throwing it into his mouth. I wonder if he was dazzled, but he actually saw five elixir patterns on Xu Yi's elixir.
…
He must have been dazzled, because when he looked at the elixirs refined by the Soul Refining Sect, the dogs shook their heads. None of their sects could find anyone who could refine the best elixirs.
The red-haired young man thought this in his mind, but as time passed, Xu Yi's water curtain remained stable, but his mana fire began to slowly become smaller. This was because his mana was almost exhausted.
.
The red-haired young man once again took out a Qi-Reviving Pill and threw it into his mouth. But the next moment, Xu Yi also took out a pill. This time, the red-haired young man could see clearly that the pill in Xu Yi's hand was on
, a whole five lines of elixir...
The mana restored by the top-grade elixir is at least 30% more than his top-grade elixir!
The red-haired young man gritted his teeth and insisted: "I don't believe it, you still have the best elixir!"
Xu Yi smiled slightly and said: "No more, no more, just over a hundred. If you want to use it, I can keep using it with you."
Xu Yi felt extremely happy.
At this moment, he finally realized Li Yu's happiness.
When the magic power is about the same, you can do whatever you want if you have the elixir.
Of course, the red-haired young man from the Demon Flame Sect didn't believe that there were more than a hundred top quality rejuvenation pills, but when he saw that he had taken one pill, Xu Yi took one pill, and each pill had five pill lines.
At this time, he began to feel unsure...
Where did Xu Yi get so many top-grade elixirs?
There was only one rejuvenation pill left in his reserve. After using it, the mana would be consumed again, and there would be no way to replenish it. He didn't dare to bet on whether Xu Yi still had the rejuvenation pill. After taking the last pill,
, did not choose to continue spending time with Xu Yi, but instantly absorbed the flames, turned into a stream of light, and fled away...
Only a roar was left, echoing in the void:
"Xu, please wait for me!"
The red-haired young man fled. Xu Yi calmly collected his magic power and collected a pound of purple gold from the sect. Li Yu gave him two top-quality Qi-reviving pills, and he gave one to the disciples of the sect, for every ten pounds of purple gold.
, Li Yu also gave him one more pill. In one transaction, he received more than a hundred top-quality Qi-rejuvenating pills, which was not short of these three or five pills...
He doesn't plan to ask for any more Qi-recovering pills in the Qi-refining stage. These one hundred pills are enough for him to use for foundation building. I wonder if these four jade spirit fruits can be exchanged from Li Yu for the Qi-returning pills in the foundation-building stage.
, he has to prepare something for the future...
…
Half a month passed quietly. During this half month, Li Yu's practice progress was pretty good, and he could already compress the entire fire spirit vein's mana into fifteen acupoints.
According to what Patriarch Xuanzhen said, after compressing five more acupuncture points, he could try taking the Foundation Building Pill to build the foundation.
Li Yu did not practice today. He left Ziyun Peak and planned to take the second-grade alchemist examination.
Li Yu had tried the Tongmai Pill before, but it took three parts of spiritual liquid to refine only one low-grade pill.
Now that his magic power is several levels deeper than before, it is also more condensed. The pill furnace in his body has absorbed a lot of soul power, and his abilities are more powerful. Li Yu feels that he should be able to refine at least a top-grade meridians.
After being promoted to the second-level alchemy master, you can get better treatment. Of course, the sooner you are promoted, the better. Moreover, the sect can also use the Tongmai Pill to exchange for the Vein Extension Pill. Although it is not cost-effective, for the sake of practice, he can only
Suffer this loss.
Not long after, Li Yu came to Lingyun Peak again.
Seeing Li Yu, a deacon disciple greeted him enthusiastically and asked, "Junior brother Li, are you here to receive next month's elixir?"
Li Yu smiled and said: "I won't receive the elixir this time. I'm here to take the second-grade alchemy master examination."
The disciple was stunned for a moment and asked, "Have you already established the foundation?"
Li Yu shook his head and said: "Not yet, but I am still confident about refining the second-grade elixir."
The deacon disciple brought Li Yu into an empty hall. It was not the place where he was promoted to a first-level alchemist last time. This hall was slightly smaller in size and there was no one in it.
He waited for half an hour before the deacon disciple slowly led a middle-aged man with three elixir patterns embroidered on his chest into the main hall.
Li Yu didn't know a few of the sect's third-grade alchemists, but he happened to know this middle-aged man. After the competition of first-grade alchemists, he was the one who led Li Yu to Yuxu Peak to meet the master.
Li Yu remembered that his name was Wang Hua.
For the assessment of a second-grade alchemist, a third-grade alchemist must be present.
Li Yu bowed her hands to him and said, "I have met Elder Wang."
Wang Hua looked at him and said with some pity: "What happened to Elder Zhao is really a pity."
Li Yu also lamented: "The path to immortality is difficult and everything is fate."
Wang Hua waved his hand and said: "Let's not mention this sad thing. I heard from the deacon disciples that you are going to take the second-grade alchemy master examination, but you haven't built a foundation yet..."
Li Yu asked: "If you don't have a foundation, can't you participate in the second-grade alchemist assessment?"
Wang Hua shook his head and said: "Not really, it's just that there is no foundation, the magic power is not condensed and strong enough, and the elixir fire is not hot enough. However, if it is you, it is possible. I can make an exception for you. How do you want to refine it?
Three second-level elixirs?"
Li Yu had thought about these things before coming and said: "Second-level Qi-Returning Pill, Qi-Gathering Pill and Vein-Tongmai Pill."
The Qi Restoring Pill is just a general term, not specifically referring to a certain level. If you take it during the Qi Refining Period, the materials used are relatively common and are first-level elixirs. If you take them during the Foundation Establishment Stage, you need high-level materials, so they are naturally second-level elixirs.
.
As for the Qi Gathering Pill and the Tongmai Pill, although they are a bit more difficult to refine, they are the best-selling and most useful. Li Yu has carefully considered these three pills.
Not only the Qi Restoration Pill, but also the Qi Gathering Pill and the Tongmai Pill are difficult to refine among the second-level elixirs, especially the Tongmai Pill. Many alchemists who have been promoted to the second level for many years have a low success rate.
Wang Hua asked uncertainly: "Are you sure you want to choose Qi Gathering Pill and Tongmai Pill?"
Li Yu nodded and said, "OK."
In this case, Wang Hua said nothing more.
The materials of the second-level elixir are much more precious than those of the first-level elixir. Every time you take the assessment, you need to pay a fee of one thousand spiritual coins.
After Li Yu paid the spirit coins, the deacon's disciples took him to a stone room and asked him to select the herbs needed to make elixirs. Li Yu first made the second-level Qi-returning elixir. At least one of the main ingredients of the second-level elixir was third-level elixir.
He couldn't touch the elixir directly with his hands, and he couldn't bring a secretary with him during the assessment, so he wore a pair of silver gloves on his hands.
This glove was a protective magic weapon he bought in a shop in Zixiao Peak. It was used by Li Yu to isolate the spiritual energy of herbs and avoid direct contact with them, so as not to be directly sucked away by the alchemy furnace.
This kind of behavior has a different meaning in the eyes of Wang Hua and the deacon disciple.
No wonder other people's alchemy rate is so high. In order to ensure that the materials are not contaminated, they are so considerate. Most alchemists do not pay attention to these details when refining alchemy.
Li Yu skillfully took the liquid and purified it, added the ingredients one by one in order, raised the elixir fire, and started refining.
Wang Hua looked at the magic fire that Li Yu had condensed, and thought that he was indeed the son of the Dan Dao of the Five Spirit Veins. Although the degree of concentration of the Dan Fire was not as good as that of the Foundation Establishment Stage, coupled with his superb Dan Dao talent, he could use it to refine the magic fire.
It is enough to prepare second-level elixirs.
The Rejuvenation Pill is the most basic second-level elixir, and it is not very difficult. Three hours later, Li Yu relied on his own ability to refine it. With three ingredients, he produced two high-quality pills in one furnace.
Even Wang Hua, a third-grade alchemist, was surprised by what he saw. Although he used three parts of the material, refining the second-grade elixir was extremely difficult and there must be losses in the process. A second-grade alchemy expert
If the furnace can refine a medium-grade product, it is considered qualified; if it can refine a top-grade product, it is considered excellent.
Even if Wang Hua himself refines the second-level Qi Restoration Pill, he can only produce two pills stably. However, the quality is higher than that of Li Yu, and he can often refine superior quality pills.
As for making three pills in one furnace, it requires not wasting any material. This requires perfection in every step of refining. Even a third-grade alchemist can't do it. Only a few fourth-grade masters in the sect can do this.
ability.
Wang Hua looked at Li Yu and said: "You have refined the Qi Recovery Pill very well. For the next batch of pills, you can choose to come back tomorrow or two days later, but no more than three days."
Refining second-level elixirs is extremely labor-intensive and cannot be done one after another, so the time limit for the second-level alchemy master examination is relatively generous.
Li Yu was indeed a little tired at the moment and said, "Then I'll come back in two days."
His choice was not what Wang Hua expected. He was able to refine the second-level elixir without the strength to build a foundation. In the history of the sect, there were only a few geniuses who could do it. However, after refining, he could start refining without resting.
There was no one in the second furnace. If Li Yu didn't even need to rest, that would be too exaggerated. Everyone would have to wonder if he had some big secret...
Li Yu was not pretending to be tired this time. He hadn't built a foundation yet. It was not easy to refine the second-level elixir. After returning to Ziyun Peak, he slept for two days to recuperate his energy and restore his magic power to its peak.
After that, he came to Lingyun Peak again for the second assessment.
This time, he chose the Qi Gathering Pill.
For the formal disciples of Kunlun who have successfully gathered Qi, Qi Gathering Pill has no effect. Taking it is harmful and useless. It will also slow down the speed of cultivation because of the extra spiritual veins.
For many people, a Qi Gathering Pill can allow them to enter the gate of immortality. Many disciples and elders of the sect have families outside the country, so there is a great demand for Qi Gathering Pills.
When refining the Qi Gathering Pill, Li Yu also had no trusteeship. Four hours later, he refined a super-grade Qi Gathering Pill.
Wang Hua stood next to the alchemy furnace and nodded slightly. This kind of ability is already considered to be at the top among second-grade alchemists.
Before the third assessment, Li Yu chose to rest for three days.
His spirit and mana once again returned to their peak, and he came to Lingyun Peak again. This was the last test for a second-grade alchemist. If he could successfully pass, he would be promoted to a second-grade alchemist and enjoy the sect's monthly
The subsidy of Wan Ling Coin can also be used to exchange for a larger courtyard.
Li Yu had practiced Tongmai Dan once before, but the effect was not very good. In this assessment, he was quite confident. He was even worried that after the trusteeship, the quality of the elixir refined would be too high. He only entered the semi-trusteeship.
state.
This is a new skill that Li Yu unlocked with the repair of the alchemy furnace.
After returning from the Thousand Poison Cave, even if he was completely entrusted, Li Yu would not fall into trance, but could retain part of his consciousness, so that he could cause trouble when the alchemy furnace controlled him to refine the elixir, and reduce the difficulty in refining the elixir.
quality.
The sect's request was to use three ingredients to refine a pill. If he refined three pills, the sect would raise its requirements for him, and it would be Li Yu's own interests that would be lost.
Li Yu spent five hours refining this Tongmai Pill.
During the refining process, he also took two Qi Restoration Pills to barely maintain the continuation of the mana fire.
Five hours later, Li Yu extinguished the flame, opened the pill furnace, and took out a Tongmai Pill with three pill patterns. He was a little dissatisfied and sighed: "It's just a top-grade pill..."
Wang Hua said from the side: "The high-grade Tongmai Pill is already very impressive. Eighty percent of the second-grade alchemists cannot refine the high-grade pill. You have just been promoted to the second-grade alchemy master. You are the second-grade alchemist in the sect."
With your current level of alchemy, you can be firmly ranked in the top 100 among all the alchemists in the sect. After you build the foundation, the only ones who are better than you will probably be the alchemists of the third grade or above...
…”
After three assessments, Li Yu completed the tasks at an exceptional level and was successfully promoted to a second-grade alchemist.
Soon, the deacon disciple sent Li Yu a new alchemist robe. On the chest of the robe, the alchemy pattern changed from one to two.
Li Yu asked Wang Huadao: "Elder Wang, can I receive the materials for the second-level elixir now?"
Wang Hua nodded and said, "Of course, what kind of elixir do you want to refine?"
Li Yudao: "Let's take the Qi-Returning Pill, Qi-Gathering Pill and Tongmai Pill."
Wang Hua smiled and said: "The Qi-Returning Pill and the Qi-Gathering Pill are fine, but the materials for the Tongmai Pill are not available here."
Li Yu was stunned for a moment and asked: "Why?"
Wang Hua explained: "The jade spirit fruit, the main material of the Tongmai Pill, is distributed uniformly by the sect. It will only be distributed according to the amount to the Alchemy Peaks at the beginning of the month, and will be refined by the Alchemy Peaks.
Only on Mount Everest can we have the opportunity to refine the Tongmai Pill. Speaking of which, Li Yu, if you want to join me at Qinghua Peak, I can let you refine three furnaces of the Tongmai Pill every month..."
Only then did Li Yu understand why the second-grade alchemy masters in the sect rarely established their own schools, and basically all joined a certain peak of alchemy.
If an alchemist wants to improve his alchemy level, he must practice with countless materials. The peaks of alchemy have a monopoly on these high-level elixirs. If a second-grade alchemist wants to improve, he must join them.
This means that even if you become a second-grade alchemist, you cannot directly obtain the materials for the Tongmai Dan.
Li Yu did not directly agree to Wang Hua, but said: "Thank you, Elder Wang, for your kindness. I will think about it again..."
Wang Hua didn't say anything. After all, with Li Yu's reputation, after he was promoted to the second-level alchemy master, other peaks in the alchemy path would also send invitations to him. In the end, it would still depend on his own choice.
After leaving Lingyun Peak, Li Yu returned directly to Ziyun Peak.
After being promoted to the second-level alchemy master, he can apply to the sect for a larger house, but Li Yu does not have this authority. The small courtyard at Ziyun Peak is enough space for two people and one tiger.
It's smaller and looks more cozy.
I thought that after being promoted to the second-level alchemy master, I could help Zhou Zixuan and even Ling'er build their foundation earlier, but I didn't consider the monopoly issue of elixirs.
Important elixirs like Tongmai Dan are 100% monopolized by the peaks of the alchemy world. Only by joining them can a second-grade alchemist get the opportunity to refine elixirs. Not only does he not get paid for refining elixirs for others, but he also has to be grateful to others.
.
After all, if the alchemy peaks don't give them a chance, they won't have the materials to practice at all, and they won't be able to improve their alchemy level.
But isn’t this just kneeling down to beg for food?
The really rich ones are those third- and fourth-grade alchemists. The second-grade alchemists are very powerful in the outer sect, but in Kunlun, they are just other people's wage earners.
With the existence of the alchemy furnace, Li Yu didn't need to practice at all. However, he made the elixirs himself, and the extra elixirs could be given to Zhou Zixuan and Ling'er. If he really couldn't get the materials, he would definitely have to join a certain peak in the end.
But he is not in a hurry. He has not established the foundation yet. After the foundation is established, the quality of the elixirs he refines will be greatly improved, and by then, he will be able to gain more chips.
…
Not long after Li Yu left Lingyun Peak, the news that he had successfully been promoted to a second-grade alchemist spread like wildfire in Kunlun.
It is not that no one has done it in the history of Kunlun, but it is very rare, and all of them are famous masters of alchemy.
When the news reached Danding Peak, the alchemy apprentices who started with Li Yu seemed very excited. Li Yu who walked out of Danding Peak was their pride. Being able to know such a talented alchemist was worthy of their respect.
New disciples brag.
When Han Tiancheng learned the news, he felt complicated and unspeakable.
Before Li Yu was born, he was a first-grade alchemist.
When Li Yu entered Kunlun and became an apprentice in alchemy, he was a first-class disciple.
When Li Yu was promoted to the first rank, he was still the first rank.
Now that Li Yu has been promoted to a second-grade alchemist, he is still a first-grade alchemist. It doesn't matter if he is an alchemist who is not familiar with Li Yu. He has watched Li Yu step by step from an alchemy apprentice. This kind of mentality
The huge gap is difficult to describe in words.
This also caused a huge blow to his mentality.
Once a gap appears in the Taoist heart of a cultivator, it only takes a moment for it to collapse.
He was refining the Qi Restoration Pill. When he heard the news, his mentality exploded. He suddenly withdrew the pill fire and said angrily: "I won't practice any more. I am refining a crappy pill. From today on, I will turn to the method of practicing rubbish pills. This is a dog."
Don’t even practice it!”
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
It's not that I'm angry with Li Yu, but that I'm angry with his choice back then. Alchemy is meant to burn oneself and illuminate others, not to mention delaying one's own practice. If you can achieve something on this path, your life will be worth it.
After passing the second-grade alchemist test for the first time, he had already had doubts about this method.
Li Yu's promotion to the second-grade alchemist was the last straw that broke his back.
At this moment, Han Tiancheng naturally didn't know that because of his move, a hundred years later, Kunlun would lose a second-grade alchemist and gain an elder of golden elixir...
