When Hong Ming carefully thought about the old man's insights on alchemy and added his own experience of five times of alchemy, he finally gained something.
But after this harvest, I became even more desperate.
Even if it is the same kind of elixir, the recipe and the elixir are the same, the refining is different every time, which is simply life-threatening.
No wonder so many monks give up after trying it.
Hong Ming even believes that most of the monks who tried have not reached the level of Hong Ming's current understanding. They probably just gave up because they felt that they had lost a lot of spiritual stones and felt that there was no progress.
After refining five pills, hundreds of spiritual stones were wasted, and only one pill was obtained.
This is still an elixir for the early stage of Qi training. If it is an elixir for the middle stage of Qi training, Hong Ming would feel a little pain in losing it. No wonder so many people gave up on elixir refining in the end.
I really can't afford the compensation.
On the first day, Hong Ming passed like this.
The next day, after I regained my energy, I continued to make alchemy.
This time, Hong Ming learned from experience, worked steadily, and tried slowly, refining the elixir ten times a day. From the beginning, all the elixirs were discarded, and by the last time, he finally produced three low-grade water dew pills at one time.
If this continued, Hong Ming spent one thousand seventeen to eight hundred spiritual stones in one day and got less than ten water dew pills, worth more than one hundred spiritual stones.
The compensation is still appalling.
On the third and fourth days, Hong Ming did not refine elixirs, but took elixirs, meditated, and practiced spells at the same time.
Perhaps because of the alchemy technique, Hong Ming has much greater control over spiritual power. He can even control some small changes in spiritual power in spells, and he can practice spells much faster.
Although the geomagnetic body shield has not yet been successfully cultivated, it has made great progress.
At least Hong Ming completed less than half of the complex spiritual power layout in one breath.
With this progress, the rest is easy.
It can be said that it is only a matter of time before I can barely cultivate this spell to the point where it can be released.
After an interval of five days.
Hong Ming continued to refine elixirs.
After fifteen failed experiences, Hong Ming became much smoother after starting this time. Although each time was not considered a success, several pills were produced every time he made elixirs.
During this process, Hong Ming slowly realized, and finally had an inexplicable realization.
When the elixir melted in the alchemy furnace, Hong Ming could really feel the changes in the power of the medicine in the alchemy furnace. Although this feeling was very vague and came and went, as this feeling appeared,
, Hong Ming constantly made adjustments, changing the size of the flame, changing the duration of the flame burning, adjusting the speed at which the elixir was put in, etc.
Although there are some twists and turns in the number of elixirs released, overall, they are still increasing.
Time flies by.
Two months later.
Hong Ming's last furnace of elixirs came out. More than twenty pills flew up from the furnace and fell into Hong Ming's hands.
"Twenty-eight pills, not bad!"
Hong Ming glanced at it and showed a hint of excitement. Just looking at this furnace of elixirs, Hong Ming used elixirs worth one hundred and eighty spiritual stones and pointed out twenty-eight elixirs. These elixirs were worth more than
Five Hundred Spiritual Stones.
In other words, Hong Ming could earn more than 300 spirit stones from a furnace of elixirs in the early stage of Qi training.
At the end of the day, if Hong Ming had the elixir, he would probably be able to refine nearly a hundred furnaces of elixirs, and the profit would be 30,000 spiritual stones. When Hong Ming thought about it, he felt extremely horrified.
Of course, this is not actually the case.
Refining alchemy takes a lot of energy, and the elixirs are not unlimited. The alchemist also needs to practice, and there are other things to deal with. If you go all out, refining dozens of furnaces every day should not be a big problem.
This is the harvest of nearly ten thousand spirit stones.
If the elixir is in the middle stage of Qi training, it will be even more terrifying if it is the elixir in the later stage of Qi training.
However, after calculating the cost, in order to achieve such a success rate, Hong Ming used more than a thousand water spirit grasses, and the total cost was close to 200,000 spirit stones.
In addition, it is difficult for other alchemists to have such a success rate, and the profits are not so terrible.
But what Hong Ming is thinking about is not the profit, but other things.
When putting away the elixir, Hong Ming pinched one of the elixirs, with a look of surprise on his face. This elixir has a purer color and a richer aroma. Just one glance at it makes people feel like it.
Noticed the difference.
"Sure enough, this is a middle-grade elixir!"
Hong Ming took a breath, hesitated, and swallowed the middle-grade water dew pill directly.
The next moment, the water dew pills turned into extremely pure spiritual energy and blended into the Dantian. Hong Ming used the Turtle Breath Kung Fu. The spiritual energy formed by the water dew pills was quickly refined into his own spiritual power after being used by the technique.
, this refining speed is more than twice as fast as taking water elixir.
In less than half a stick of incense, Hong Ming finished refining it and opened his eyes.
"The middle-grade elixir is much stronger than the lower-grade elixir, and the refining speed is more than three times faster. No, this may be because the water dew pill is an elixir in the early stage of Qi training, but if it is replaced with the middle-grade water spirit grass,
I'm afraid the refining speed is more than twice as much, and the refined spiritual power is extremely pure, not much different from my spiritual power."
Hong Ming walked around the cave, unable to help but have more thoughts in his heart.
"Low-grade elixirs contain erysipelas. Taking too much will increase the bottleneck during breakthrough. This can be felt when taking them, while mid-grade elixirs almost do not exist."
Low-grade elixirs are not pure enough.
After each consumption, you need to stop for a few days and meditate every day to remove the impurities in the spiritual power, otherwise the quality of the spiritual power will be affected.
This is common sense.
But in fact, no matter how hard you practice and meditate, some of the impurities in the elixir will be integrated into your body and even your spiritual power.
This is the origin of erysipelas.
This impurity hinders the breakthrough of bottlenecks.
But for almost all monks, it is good to have pills to take. No one will pursue middle-grade pills. There are rumors that monks with outstanding talents in sects or big families may have such qualifications.
, taking Chinese elixirs, other than that, it is impossible for others.
Even an alchemist can't do it.
An ordinary alchemist who makes ten furnaces a day may not necessarily have a middle-grade elixir.
If you want to take middle-grade elixirs, how tired will you be?
But this is not a problem for Hong Ming.
As long as the amount of refining is large enough, Hong Ming's probability of producing middle-grade elixirs will increase. Hong Ming is even confident that if the water dew pills continue to be refined, mid-grade elixirs will appear in every furnace.
This is a unique opportunity.
Because no alchemist would have the opportunity to refine a certain type of elixir and refine it in thousands of furnaces.
"The advanced stage of Qi training is not very far away. If you take middle-grade elixirs, the bottleneck will be much smaller. It is even possible to advance to the foundation building stage by then."
Hong Ming has the Sun and Moon Gourd, so naturally he would not set his sights on the Qi training period.
"But before that, there is still a problem to be solved."
