After switching to the Turtle Breath Six Yang Gong, Hong Ming began to refine elixirs.
More than 700 Pearl Water Spirit Grasses have been harvested in the Sun and Moon Gourd, and the year is close to 300 years, which is enough for refining Water Spirit Pills.
With his previous experience in alchemy, Hong Ming's alchemy was much smoother this time.
Unexpectedly, the refining of the Water Spirit Pill went unimaginably smoothly. Seven or eight pills were produced in the first batch. After that, the refining became smoother and smoother. In just over twenty batches, the elixir yield rate reached 40%.
Each furnace of elixirs can produce about twenty elixirs.
However, when Hong Ming took a water elixir, he became extremely depressed.
Because the efficacy of this elixir is only one-fourth of the previous water elixir.
"The effect of the Water Spirit Pill is too small. It's time to find other pills to refine it."
Hong Ming felt very helpless in his heart.
Even so, Hong Ming was still refining elixirs every day, refining more than forty furnaces of elixirs a day. At other times, he meditated, practiced spells, and sacrificed five divine thunders. His life was quite fulfilling.
Half a month later.
In the cave, in the center of dozens of water-attributed spirit stones, the aura of the first spirit water turtle egg became increasingly dim, and after a while, there was no longer any breath of life.
"No wonder the monster eggs are not as expensive as imagined. Whether they can be born is still a matter of doubt."
Hong Ming said very depressedly.
The first of the three Spirit Water Turtle eggs has become a dead egg, and according to the probability, the probability of the next two Spirit Water Turtle eggs hatching into a Spirit Water Turtle is less than 30%.
It is very likely that in order to hatch such a cheap spirit beast, about three thousand spirit stones will be needed.
No wonder other monks rarely breed spiritual beasts.
Hong Ming didn't care, and continued to cut his fingers, dripping blood onto the remaining two turtle eggs, and then cast a spell, and the blood slowly seeped into the turtle eggs.
This blood oath technique must be performed every three days.
After the spirit beast is born, it will have a blood connection with Hong Ming. Not only will it become more intimate, but it will also be able to command and control the spirit water turtle to a certain extent.
Compared with other secret techniques for controlling monsters, this secret technique is the simplest and has the weakest control.
However, turtle monsters are relatively gentle in nature, so Hong Ming was not wrong in choosing this method.
While refining the elixir and practicing at the same time, Hong Ming's cultivation level did not increase much, but his life was quite comfortable.
It's just that it's been a while since the news was released, but there's still no news about the Yang-type elixir. And of the three Spirit Water Turtle eggs, two have lost their vitality, and the last remaining one is also dying and is about to die.
During this leisurely training moment, a transmission note suddenly floated in above the warning formation.
After tearing open the transmission note, a voice that I hadn't heard for a long time came out.
"Fellow Daoist Hong, Mr. Zheng has something to meet you."
When Hong Ming heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of coldness.
But after a while, Hong Ming returned to his original state, tidied up the cave, and opened the defensive formation. Outside the formation, monk surnamed Zheng and more than a dozen Qi-training monks were waiting quietly.
"Fellow Daoist Hong, please forgive me for disturbing you."
When Zheng Hao met, he spoke politely and seemed very enthusiastic.
Hong Ming also smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter, I just finished refining the elixir and it's time to take a rest, so I won't be disturbed."
But while he was talking, Hong Ming inadvertently glanced at the Qi-training monk behind Zheng Hao, with a look of shock on his face.
There were more than a dozen people behind Zheng Hao. Hong Ming didn't know the others, but Hong Ming had once gone hunting together with He Nuxiu and Li Hou, so he was familiar with them. They were both at the fifth level of Qi training before.
It seems that the breakthrough has not been long ago, but now, it has reached the peak of the sixth level of Qi training, and is only a little short of the advanced stage of Qi training.
Counting on the fingers of one hand, Hong Ming only had a year and a half before he returned to Dongluo Island.
In the past year and a half, the two of them have made so much progress.
This progress is almost catching up with Hong Ming's.
Zheng Hao saw Hong Ming's expression and waved his hand: "Fellow Taoists, you are resting outside now. Fellow Daoist He and Fellow Daoist Li came in together. We are old friends, so we can reminisce about the past."
The others responded and found a place to rest nearby outside the cave.
When Hong Ming saw this scene, he couldn't help but glance at Zheng Hao again.
After entering the cave and sitting down, the four of them could not help but talk about some past events. However, at this time, the gap emerged. Hong Ming was calm and unmoving. Even Zheng Hao was not afraid at all because of his identity as an alchemist.
As for He Nuxiu and Li Daoyou, their confidence was not enough when they spoke.
Completely follow Zheng Hao's lead.
When Zheng Hao spoke, there was a sense of majesty and domineering in his tone. It was obvious that he had great leadership ability among a group of people.
The four of them talked about the past. After chatting for a while, Zheng Hao got down to business:
"Brother Hong, you came here this time to invite fellow Taoists to make elixirs for me from the Blood Shark Society?"
"oh?"
Hong Ming showed a look of surprise and said in a neutral tone: "I have the elixir here. If Fellow Daoist Zheng wants it, just exchange it for the spiritual stone or elixir. I can get a discount on the price."
"Thank you, Brother Hong. However, the Blood Shark Guild now has more than a hundred people, and the amount of daily pills required is a large amount. Therefore, in detail, Brother Hong has become a full-time alchemist of the Blood Shark Guild. As for the salary, Brother Hong can improve it.
."
Zheng Hao spoke.
Professional alchemist?
When Hong Ming heard this, his face showed displeasure.
Speaking of which, alchemists also have some troubles. Most of the alchemists with outstanding abilities cooperate with sects or families. At worst, they will have a few friends with outstanding abilities. Otherwise, with the financial resources of the alchemist, there will inevitably be people who have bad intentions.
And becoming a full-time alchemist is just a way of doing it.
However, there are differences among professional alchemists.
For example, there are also full-time alchemists in the sect, but apart from completing the annual alchemy tasks, there are no restrictions on others, and the benefits are very good, so most alchemists will almost join the sect.
Hong Ming also wants to join the sect.
But you must at least be able to refine elixirs for the later stages of Qi training.
"Fellow Daoist Zheng, this professional alchemist..."
Hong Ming was ready to refuse.
Hong Ming is naturally decisive when it comes to messy things.
However, after speaking in general terms, Zheng Hao interrupted:
"Brother Hong, Zheng also knows that becoming a full-time alchemist is a bit abrupt. It's just that Brother Hong, you refine the elixirs and sell them to anyone the same. And I, the Blood Shark Club, have nearly a hundred people who are enough to digest Brother Hong's elixirs.
, and I will never treat Brother Hong badly, not to mention, with the strength of my Blood Killing Guild, which spans the sea area, even several nearby big families dare not provoke me, wouldn’t Fellow Daoist Hong think about it?"
As Zheng Hao spoke, the spiritual power in his body was released, and a wave of spiritual pressure enveloped the entire cave.
