After Liu Changxu became a second-level low-level alchemist, he began to work hard on the quality of the elixir and the rate of elixir success.
Although he has been able to refine the second-level low-grade Ziyang Pill, the success rate is only 10%, and the quality of the pill is only acceptable, with a dull color and a high amount of erysipelas.
In terms of quality, elixirs are divided into four grades: inferior elixirs, qualified elixirs, good elixirs, and high-quality elixirs.
In this way, Liu Changxu spent more than two months to increase the elixir yield to 80%. Not only that, the quality of the elixir was also greatly improved. For every ten elixirs refined, there would be one high-quality elixir, a good elixir.
Two pills, five pills of qualified pills.
It only takes two months to increase the elixir formation rate to this level, thanks to the powerful magic power and soul power of Liu Changxu Golden elixir monk. It would take at least several years for a foundation-building monk to reach this level.
Improving the level of alchemy requires not only sufficient elixirs for practice, but also powerful souls and mana.
Therefore, when it comes to learning the skills of cultivating immortals, high-level monks have natural advantages. Not only do they have long lifespans, but their souls and mana are very powerful, and it is easy to learn alchemy or weapon refining.
Many monks only learn the skills of cultivating immortals after forming elixirs. Not only that, there are also many golden elixir monks who have learned various skills of cultivating immortals.
Therefore, monks like Liu Changxu who learn a variety of immortal cultivation skills are also very common among Jindan monks.
During this period, after Liu Changxu continued to work hard every night, Zhang Wenjun also got his wish and became pregnant with a child.
Seven months later, in July 3189 of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Yunyue gave birth to a son for Liu Changxu, who was named Liu Yi by Liu Changxu.
Liu Changxu was very satisfied with the birth of his old son Liu Yi, but he had another responsibility. Wu Yunyue was also very happy to give birth to a son again. The only worry in his heart was whether the child would have spiritual roots in the future.
question, but it will take seven years to get the answer!
Then, on the tenth day of September in the Tang calendar year 3189, Zhang Wenjun gave birth to a baby girl for Liu Changxu. Liu Changxu named her Liu Qi. This greatly disappointed Zhang Wenjun, who wanted a son!
Sitting next to his wife, Liu Changxu held his sleeping little daughter in one hand, while comforting Zhang Wenjun, who was not very happy, and said:
"Wenjun, I like having a daughter or a son very much. Why are you unhappy!"
Zhang Wenjun disagreed with her husband's consolation. After living together for so many years, she knew very well that although her husband liked his two daughters very much, the most important thing in his heart was his four sons.
Seeing that his words could not move Zhang Wenjun, Liu Changxu came up with his final solution and said:
"If Wenjun likes your son, can we have another baby in the future? Until we give birth to a son, okay?"
Seeing that her husband showed the utmost sincerity, Zhang Wenjun said with satisfaction:
"Husband, this is what you said, we must continue to work hard!"
"good!"
Seeing the smile on his wife's face, Liu Changxu couldn't help but be stunned by her peerless appearance. He couldn't help but kiss Zhang Wenjun's seductive red lips, then put down his daughter and left.
Although there were two more children, Liu Changxu's practice and alchemy were not affected much and continued as usual.
Three years later, on the seventh day of June in the year 3192 of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Changxu, who had become a second-level top-level alchemist, officially launched an attack on the third-level low-level alchemist.
Today he is going to open a furnace to refine a third-level low-grade Ziyang Dan. It uses a 350-year-old Ziyang ginseng as the main medicine and thirty-six kinds of third-level low-grade elixirs as auxiliary medicines.
Because of the wide variety of elixirs required for refining, the difficulty of refining is greatly increased.
Also because each type of elixir has different properties and attributes, when refining elixirs, the order in which each type of elixir is put into the elixir furnace and the temperature at which it is heated have very high requirements.
In order to reduce losses, Liu Changxu first divided the thirty-seven kinds of elixirs into ten parts and prepared to refine them ten times.
Not only that, when Liu Changxu was refining the elixir, he also asked Lian'er to record it with a photo stone.
After making preparations, Liu Changxu used the third-level middle-grade alchemy furnace, the Purple Flame Burning Sky Furnace. Because he needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, Liu Changxu asked for this magic weapon from his father when he left home.
Since the Purple Flame Burning Heaven Furnace is of the highest grade, it can be used to refine third-grade elixirs to enhance the quality and elixir-making rate of the elixirs.
As for the flame used by the alchemy furnace to refine elixirs, it is Liu Changxu's natal spiritual fire, red lotus karma fire. The red lotus karma fire purifies elixirs, and the quality of the elixirs refined with this spiritual fire is much better.
As the lid of the alchemy furnace was opened, a ball of red lotus karma fire was thrown into the alchemy furnace, which immediately ignited into a raging flame.
One after another, the elixirs were thrown into the elixir furnace by Liu Changxu. Under the burning of the red lotus karma fire, they slowly turned into balls after balls of medicinal liquid.
…
As the last elixir turned into liquid, the liquid in the alchemy furnace melted into a large ball of liquid under Liu Changxu's control.
Then Liu Changxu carefully controlled the spiritual fire to start the most critical process of condensing the elixir. This step tested patience the most. If you were not careful, the elixir condensation would fail.
Sure enough, when the pill condensation was in progress, I accidentally heard a "Boom!", the spiritual power inside the liquid medicine collided, and the furnace exploded.
Although he had expected it, Liu Changxu was still disappointed. Lian'er on the side quickly comforted him and said:
"Husband, it is inevitable that you will fail in refining the third-level elixir for the first time, so don't worry about it!"
"Thank you Lian'er for your encouragement. I know it in my heart."
After saying that, he took the photo stone from Lian'er's hand and carefully looked at the problems and deficiencies in his alchemy.
After identifying possible problems, Liu Changxu designated a new plan for the second alchemy.
Liu Changxu started refining alchemy for the second time.
…
Even so, the second alchemy still failed. It was already evening, and Liu Changxu ended today's alchemy work with some annoyance.
After a night's rest, Liu Changxu continued to refine elixirs the next day, but still failed.
For five consecutive days, after consuming ten portions of the elixir, Liu Changxu could not even refine the low-quality elixir of the third-level low-grade Ziyang elixir. Although he was prepared for this, it also made him very unhappy.
After all, the elixir worth tens of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones purchased was wasted, how could you be happy!
Liu Changxu decided to calm down his impetuous mood first, and then buy the elixir to refine the elixir again.
For the next five days, Liu Changxu spent time with his three-year-old son and daughter while practicing.
Both the youngest son Liu Yi and the youngest daughter Liu Qi are both well-behaved and cute, adding a lot of fun to Liu Changxu.
At this time, Zhang Wenjun, who was thinking about having a son, pestered Liu Changxu to practice together every night, which also made Liu Changxu happy!
