Chapter 400: Improve your alchemy skills and listen to the waves coming to the island
Another year and a half has passed.
??Looking at the countless bottles, gourds and other things placed in front of me, even if I am grateful for Duanyang's character, I can't help but feel a little complacent.
??During this period of time, except for meditating and resting, he had almost no rest.
I made elixirs frequently and opened more than 300 furnaces.
??Although most of them are just elixirs used during the Qi training period, it is still an appalling number.
Converted into spiritual stones, it would cost at least tens of thousands.
If it were converted to market price, I'm afraid it wouldn't easily double.
??Some alchemists may never refine so many elixirs in their lifetime.
??And the experience he gained each time was far beyond what those people could compare to.
??In skills such as weapon refining, elixir refining, and talisman making.
??What Xie Duanyang was originally best at was naturally weapon refining. He had mastered the true teachings of the Divine Weapon Sect, and he had the potential to outperform others.
??But the total number of magical weapons I have refined in the past is probably not as good as the elixirs produced in the past two years.
??Relying on the accumulation of countless experiences, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, his own talent, and the deduction ability of the Taixu Mirror.
??His alchemy attainments have a tendency to catch up from behind and surpass the weapon refining skills.
??Especially in the refining of low- and middle-level elixirs, it has reached an indescribable level, even surpassing the barriers of the so-called alchemy masters in the cultivation world.
??It’s just that he has successfully refined two magic weapons, but his alchemy skills are currently limited to those used for Qi training and foundation building, and he has not yet tried to refine higher-level elixirs.
??Although the low-level level has surpassed the weapon refining technique, it is still slightly lacking in the high-end level.
??This is not to say that my qualifications and talents in alchemy are far superior to those in weapon refining.
??The main reason is that he has a vision of alchemy cultivation and practices ordinary elixirs from a high position, so there will naturally not be much hindrance.
??What’s more, the two skills of alchemy and weapon refining have many things in common.
??For example, after a long period of alchemy and weapon refining, Xie Duanyang felt that the eighteen-way seal method that originally came with the iron refining hand had a lot of room for improvement.
??What to do next? Xie Duanyang hesitated for a moment.
??He has basically refined the low- and mid-level elixirs he collected before, and his techniques are skillful.
??Ordinarily, next, you can try to refine the elixir needed to form an elixir, and the probability of success will not be low.
??But he can also continue to study low-level elixir recipes. In the past two years, although he did not specifically deduce them, he naturally had a lot of inspiration and recorded them, and he already had several prototypes of elixir recipes in his mind.
??Mostly it is based on the improvement of the original recipe, reducing material requirements, or enhancing the efficacy.
??There are also two new elixir recipes.
??If it can be improved and perfected, one's own alchemy will definitely be able to make further progress and gain a deeper understanding of the medicinal properties of various materials.
??When refining high-level elixirs later, the success rate will be higher.
??But after just thinking about it for a moment, he gave up the idea.
??This plan is very sound, but it will take a long time, so it is not suitable for the current situation.
??In the East China Sea, about every ten years, there will be a tide of beasts, and countless sea tribes will attack and kill Spirit Island.
??There are even those who occasionally go to the Dajin coastline to cause trouble.
??Within a hundred years, there will be another great beast tide, and many of the transformed monsters will take the opportunity to appear.
??Every time there is a big beast tide, it will cause a certain degree of reshuffling of the power map in the East China Sea.
??The next beast wave is not far away, only a year and a half away.
??Although Dihuo Island is located in the outer sea, it is actually closer to the inland sea.
??Normally, if it is just a small wave of monsters, there won’t be any powerful monsters passing by.
??But just in case, he still wanted to accumulate his mana deeper before that.
??In that case, you need to refine some elixirs in advance.
??“If you waste some, just waste it.
??I still have some inner elixirs in stock, so even if I fail a few times, it won’t hurt..."
??Xie Duanyang thought silently in his heart. When he went to Fuzhou Island for the first time, he received many congratulatory gifts, including several demon pills.
??After that, I spent some spiritual stones to buy a few more at mirage and underground auctions.
??After coming back, because he had to refine the Blood River Flag into a magic weapon and practice the "Blood Spirit Dharma", he couldn't separate himself.
??The trade fair was not held in the second year.
??Although I have been busy refining alchemy in the past two years, it is not that I can't get away from it. I have still been to Fuzhou Island once.
??While getting rid of those excess elixirs, I also bought some demon elixirs and materials.
??It is estimated that Zhu Rongtang gained a lot of benefits after succeeding, which made Fan Zhi and others very satisfied. In addition, he also wanted to win over his own relationship, so he rewarded him with a sixth-level demon pill.
??Currently, I have nearly twenty level five demon pills in my hand, and there are even three level six demon pills among them.
??Even if the black turtle inner elixir is temporarily drained, it will be enough to refine several batches of elixirs.
?? Having made up his mind, Xie Duanyang no longer hesitated, put away the bottles and jars on the floor with a flick of his sleeves, and then went back to the quiet room to sleep.
??This was his first time refining the high-level elixir required for the elixir formation level, so he needed to adjust his condition to its peak.
??I slept a whole night, and after waking up, I adjusted my breath and meditated for most of the day, and then tidied up the cave.
??Two nests of fire crows and cold gulls are kept here. Although their spirituality is far superior to ordinary birds, and they are restrained by the five-color golden pheasants, it is inevitable that they will be a little messy.
??Speaking of which, they are very lucky.
??The elixirs during the Qi training period are completely useless to me. I can only take a few pills to check the properties of the medicine.
??Although most of them were lost in the island city and the mirage of Fuzhou Island, these birds got closer to the water first and got a few magic pills.
??So he was only born for about three years, which is considered a proper infancy for the demon clan, but Fire Crow, Han Gull, etc. have already grown into very strong and powerful horses.
??He has detected the blood and bones of these spiritual birds, and many of them have the potential to grow to level five or six.
??After bathing and burning incense, feeling refreshed all over, Xie Duanyang sat down in front of the Lingchi again, picked up the cold jade ice stove and half floated on the surface of the pond.

??The roots, flowers, fruits and other parts of the nine kinds of medicinal herbs were lifted up, wrapped and thrown into the furnace with the cauldron open wide by its magic power.
??There are naturally nine holes in the furnace body.
??The spiritual water in the pool slowly flowed in along the nine holes, and then gurgled out, washing and washing the medicinal materials he distributed everywhere.
??Originally, this process was very slow.
??But under the influence of Xie Duanyang's magic power and the elixir, it was accelerated visibly to the naked eye.
??However, in just three days, the impurities have been completely washed away, leaving only the powdery or liquid essence.
??Put it away carefully, and Xie Duanyang throws in some objects again.
??This time it is not a plant elixir, but some mineral materials such as gold, jade, water essence, or the scales and bones of monsters.
??To deal with these, his methods are much rougher.
??And it is often used together with Danhuo, and it can be refined into jade scraps, bone powder, etc. in just two days.
??After thoroughly processing these auxiliary materials, he opened the seal of the wooden box with only the talisman on it, took out the most precious cinnabar carp inner elixir required for the material, and refined and extracted it in the same way.
??Another three days.
??As soon as the materials were ready, Xie Duanyang released his natal elixir fire and wrapped the jade scraps, gold powder, etc....
??The twelfth day passed by suddenly.
??Xie Duanyang used his left palm to continuously shoot the true fire control technique, changing the fire power.
??The right hand remained motionless, only drawing a stream of water from the spiritual pool, turning it into a cloud of mist and water vapor to firmly protect the ball of elixir.
??No matter how the Qingbi True Fire changes, the clouds and mist never dissipate.
??A fragrant aroma came out of the furnace. Just by smelling it, Xie Duanyang felt that his slightly depleted mana had become abundant and flexible again.
??When the five-colored golden pheasant smelled the medicinal fragrance, it couldn't hold back anymore and flew out from under the half-foot-tall green Wu tree.
??Wandering around the small pond, making clear calls.
??"combine!"
??Knowing that it was the most critical moment, Xie Duanyang shouted softly and mobilized all his magic power.
??The alchemy fire changed from green to pure green, turning into a fire cloud and tightly surrounding the alchemy liquid.
??The original mist and water vapor were forced by the fire cloud, and were completely absorbed and refined into it.
??The closer you get to the back, the fragrant air becomes lighter and fainter, until it completely disappears. Only then does Xie Duanyang use his magic power again and pull it outward.
??A dozen fiery red elixirs flew out and fell into the jade bottle he had prepared earlier, leaving only one outside.
??“My luck is pretty good. I didn’t expect that the first time I started the furnace, it would be perfect.
??It's just 20% less than the perfect output deduced by the Taixu Mirror. It seems that my skills are still somewhat lacking and I wasted a lot of medicinal power."
??Without hesitation, he swallowed the elixir into his belly and refined it with elixir fire.
??"Yes, such a pill is enough to be worth my two months of hard training, slightly better than the Chi Jing Dan."
??Four days later, Xie Duanyang opened his eyes, his eyes were full of energy, and he was indescribably full of energy.
??Although some medicinal power was wasted, the effectiveness of this Zhuyang Pill is undeniable. It is one or two points higher than what was recorded on the pill prescription.
??In addition to his own alchemy, it is also related to the purity of the true fire and the collection of various spiritual objects in the spiritual pool, among which the water in the pool is particularly spiritual.
??Didn’t eat the remaining Zhuyang Dan anymore, Xie Duanyang continued to cook without stopping.
??Among the several elixir prescriptions with complete materials, Zhu Yang Dan and Chi Jing Dan are the two most suitable for me, and they have been collected the most.
??The remaining materials can be refined in three more furnaces.
??In fact, for ordinary fire magic cultivators, although the Zhuyang Pill can increase the magic power and cultivation level more, the Red Jing Pill is more precious.
??Because if the Chi Jing Dan is swallowed and refined for a long time, it will help purify the mana and purify the Dan fire.
??When we break through the bottleneck in the future, it may be a minute or two easier.
??However, the quality of his elixir fire can be said to be second to none in the elixir formation.
??Even if you practice special exercises with the Fire Heaven Spiritual Root, or have a physique like the Three Yang Body, you may not be able to beat yourself at the same level of cultivation.
??So the value of Chi Jing Dan will inevitably be discounted.
??There is no sun or moon in refining elixirs, half a year has passed in a blink of an eye.
??Counting the days, Xie Duanyang decided on a time to leave the customs.
??The day for the trade fair is coming soon. Most of the previous demon pills have been made into elixirs. It’s time to collect some more materials.
??Moreover, the beast tide is coming, and for almost a year, low-level monks will have to stay on the island and cannot go out alone to hunt monsters and collect herbs.
??There are already quite a few monks living on the island for a long time, so we need to prepare something for them.
??Fortunately, Fangshi's business has been booming in the past two years, and he has accumulated a lot of spiritual stones, so there is no need to use his personal wealth.
??"Huh?!"
??While he was observing the situation in the fishing ground, Xie Duanyang suddenly raised his escape light, stood in the air, and then released his spiritual consciousness far away.
??A visitor comes again, and the identity of the other party...
??"Brother Shi, Hanou Island is very happy. I should have gone to the island to celebrate, but I didn't expect that I bothered you two to come here in person.
??He is indeed a young talent with a bright future..."
??Instructing the four girls to prepare a banquet, he laughed and looked at the monk opposite.
??The other person was none other than Shi Tingtao, whom he had not seen for three years since they parted ways on Fuzhou Island.
??At the place where he started, there was a young man with similar facial features and a famous name, and his aura was a bit superficial.
??Xie Duanyang knew at a glance that the other party had just formed the elixir and it had not been long before his state stabilized.
??At first, Shi Tingtao was eager to go back because he had two sons and one disciple under his sect, both of whom had the potential to form pills. He wanted to bring the spiritual objects back to protect the law.
??Unexpectedly, Hanou Island or the Shi family were so lucky that there would be more famous alchemy monks in a short period of time.
??And this is before the beast tide is about to arrive.
??"Ling Tianfei grabbed it. Zhang had already made it a year ago and has been waiting for fellow Taoist to come and get it."
??Xie Duanyang casually flicked the storage bag, took out two items and landed them in front of the young monk.
