The elixir Zhang Zhixuan wants to refine is called Huozhidan. It has reached the fifth-level mid-level. It is a elixir that enhances magic power.
After reaching the golden elixir stage, the improvement of mana often relies on the enlightenment and hard work on the road. Spiritual elixirs that can improve mana are very rare. Among the nine fifth-level elixirs obtained from Tianyuan Sect, there are only two spiritual elixirs that can.
Increase mana.
"If I want to take away this red blood mushroom, what conditions are required?"
When the shopkeeper of Baicaotang saw that Zhang Zhixuan had found a suitable elixir, he looked a little complacent and said: "Our Baicaotang sells high-end elixirs, mostly through small-scale trade fairs, usually by bartering. If the senior is willing to donate the elixir,
, not only can you take away this red blood mushroom, but you can also take away two fifth-level elixirs from Baicaotang. In addition, you can also exchange them for fifth-level elixirs of similar value. To exchange the elixirs, you need to compensate us three thousand.
The price difference of spiritual stones.
In addition, high-level magic weapons, spiritual talismans, or exercises and classics above the golden elixir can be exchanged for elixirs, and we all have good discounts here."
After hearing what this person said, Zhang Zhixuan already knew that if he wanted to buy elixirs from Baicaotang, it would be quite difficult to simply use spiritual stones. Unless he used high-grade spiritual stones, it could be called bartering.
Although Zhang Zhixuan has accumulated seven or eight high-grade spiritual stones in his hand, he needs to use them at critical moments.
The teleportation array in the underground cave requires high-grade spiritual stones to be activated, and the three fifth-level puppet beasts also need to be equipped with high-grade spiritual stones before they can be activated.
These high-grade spiritual stones in his hands were accumulated by the three of them for many years of practicing Taoism. Zhang Zhixuan did not want to use them at this time. He bit the bullet and said: "The high-level spiritual medicine sect is not mature yet, and the low-level spiritual medicine sects are not mature yet.
Will you accept it or not?”
The old shopkeeper said with a smile: "If it is a first- or second-level elixir, our Baicaotang has a very sufficient supply, so obviously we will not accept it. Third- and fourth-level elixirs are also of great use to us, but the exchange rate for low-level elixirs is high.
There will be a certain discount for the first-level elixir. If you want to exchange for this red blood mushroom, senior needs to come up with thirteen fourth-level middle-grade elixirs."
Zhang Zhixuan said calmly: "The market price of Red Yunzhi is about 30,000 spirit stones, which is roughly equivalent to ten fourth-level middle-grade elixirs. If I want to exchange this plant for Red Yunzhi, I will bear a loss of about 10,000 spirit stones."
"Senior is right!"
Although he had to suffer a little loss, Zhang Zhixuan nodded happily.
There are many fourth-level elixirs in the underground caves of Lingjing Mountain that have matured over the years. Some of these mature fourth-level elixirs were refined into elixirs by him, and most of the rest are kept in his hands.
Zhang Zhixuan took out thirteen fourth-level elixirs from the storage bag, exchanged them for red blood mushrooms, and then said casually: "What is your name? We will deal with you again in the future. Do you have any elixir seeds for sale in Baicaotang?"
The old shopkeeper of Baicaotang said respectfully: "Excuse me for your inquiry, senior. I would like to ask my junior Gu Zizhou. Planting elixirs is the most powerful advantage of our Shenmu Sect. Regardless of any elixir seeds, we can only get in and out."
Although Zhang Zhixuan really wanted to bring some scarce elixir seeds back to the Yu Kingdom for Qingxuan Sect to plant them. Unfortunately, the Shenmu Sect could survive for tens of thousands of years, so they would not be fools. People could clearly see their core advantages.
Although he was rejected by Gu Zizhou, Zhang Zhixuan was not angry and left Baicaotang politely. He also collected all the auxiliary elixirs and prepared to return to Yu Kingdom to improve his alchemy skills.
The journey here went very smoothly, and there were no twists and turns on the way back.
In less than three months, the two returned to the underground cave in Lingjing Mountain.
The underground cave in Lingjing Mountain was built by Liu Xuanyan with great effort. Although she was not good at refining elixirs, she also developed high-level fire eyes and had all kinds of cultivation facilities.
Zhang Zhixuan can refine high-level elixirs in the cave without leaving the house at all.
Decades ago, Zhang Zhixuan purchased the Fire Stork Furnace from the State of Qi. This alchemy furnace was made by the master of Qilong Sect's weapon refining, and its grade was already fifth-level, middle-grade.
Even if Zhang Zhixuan advances to a sixth-level alchemist in the future, this alchemy furnace can still be used with difficulty.
In the entire Yu Kingdom, the Fire Stork Stove is already the best alchemy furnace.
Had it not been for the conflict between the Capturing Dragon Sect and the Wanfa Sect, Zhang Zhixuan might not have been able to get a bargain. He only spent a low price of twelve to five thousand spirit stones to acquire this excellent pill furnace.
A trace of the blood of the Suzaku divine beast is smelted in the Fire Stork Furnace, which can release a trace of Nanming Lihuo. It is especially good at refining fire elixirs.
The nature of Red Blood Zhi belongs to fire, so the Fire Zhi Pill decided to be refined this time is naturally the Fire Spirit Pill.
Because of various favorable conditions, Zhang Zhixuan decided to open the furnace and improve his alchemy skills.
After Zhang Zhixuan broke through to become a fifth-level alchemist, he was restricted by elixirs and had only refined two furnaces of fifth-level elixirs.
However, his alchemy skills did not stagnate. As his cultivation level improved, he was still making slow progress.
Ever since Zhang Zhixuan began to learn alchemy, except for the guidance of Uncle Jiu in the first few years, in the remaining years he had to explore and explore everything by himself, and the hard work he put in far exceeded that of the alchemists trained by the sect.
After he joined the sect, his alchemy skills were already superior to Luo Ziyan's, and no one in Qingxuan Sect could help him with alchemy skills.
The reason why Zhang Zhixuan's alchemy has improved so quickly is mainly because he laid a good foundation when he was young.
In order to train him to become an alchemist, the Zhang family did not care about the cost and invested a lot of resources with the support of the old patriarch to let him practice.
After refining a large number of low-level elixirs, Zhang Zhixuan found many shortcomings in practice.
Moreover, he has memories of past lives, and Zhang Zhixuan himself is also good at summarizing experience.
After stumbling along the way, he actually found his own path.
Now, Zhang Zhixuan has become the most brilliant alchemist in the history of Qingxuan Sect. A few years ago, Patriarch Jin even sent a letter, hoping that he would burn his experience and insights in alchemy into jade slips and pass them on to the lower-level alchemists trained by the sect for understanding.
.
Zhang Zhixuan placed seven middle-grade spiritual stones on the fire stork furnace, opened the fire points at the same time, created a set of fire control techniques, and began to warm and nourish the alchemy furnace.
In this elixir refining, together with the auxiliary elixir, he has invested more than 70,000 spiritual stones.
Once he fails to refine the elixir, although he does not lack spiritual stones, it is difficult to find the fifth-level elixir. The next time he refines the fifth-level elixir, it may be delayed for a long time.
Zhang Zhixuan carefully controlled the heat and put the elixirs into the elixir furnace one by one in the order recorded in the elixir recipe.
His alchemy skills are already very good, and his magic power and spiritual consciousness are also extremely powerful. He can easily divide his attention into two tasks, controlling the temperature of the flame while experiencing the changes in the properties of the spiritual herbs.
Refining high-level elixirs often takes a long time, and half a year passes quickly.
Zhang Zhixuan stared at the stork furnace a little tiredly, and finally waited for the important moment of condensing the elixir.
His face became solemn, and under the influence of his spiritual consciousness, all the medicinal properties of the Red Blood Mushroom were stimulated, melting into a red liquid, and wisps of strange fragrance floated out of the Fire Stork Stove.
