Zhan Chen returned to his home with the fairy stone and began to prepare for the next step of refining the elixir. He first sorted out the elixirs on hand and made a list of the elixirs he needed to replenish.
Then he set off to the elixir pavilion in the city to purchase some.
He first went to a elixir pavilion called Qianyaofang, handed the list of elixirs to the shopkeeper there, and asked: "Shopkeeper, take a look at the elixirs on this list, do you have them here?"
The shopkeeper was also very discerning, and he immediately recognized that Zhan Chen was the ancestor of Wanfa. He did not dare to neglect. He took the list, looked at it for a long time, and then said with certainty: "We all have the elixirs on this list here."
have."
"Great, can you give me an estimate?"
"Please wait a moment." The shopkeeper took the list and went to the back room. After a while, he came out again and said: "Senior, we have already calculated. We need a total of 1,073,600 king-grade immortal stones.
We don’t want the fraction, we need 1.07 million King Grade Immortal Stones, are you sure?”
The shopkeeper looked at Zhan Chen with great expectation, hoping that he could buy it. If the transaction was successful, this would undoubtedly be the biggest business his shop had received since its establishment, because almost no one was willing to spend so many fairy stones to buy the spirit stone.
medicine.
Zhan Chen was surprised and said: "It's so expensive!"
"Yes, there are many of them that are king-grade elixirs, and some of them require tens of thousands of king-grade immortal stones." The shopkeeper said truthfully.
Zhan Chen didn't say anything. He only listed the prescriptions for fifteen kinds of elixirs on his list. He prepared five elixirs for each type, and half of the elixirs he already had. So after calculation, each time
The value of one elixir is more than 20,000 king-grade immortal stones.
Huang Nianci once told him that his elixir-making rate was one-third. Zhan Chen thought that his elixir-making rate must be lower than that of his master, and secretly thought: "Although I have been indulging in elixir refining for a long time.
I have also refined many elixirs, but I have never refined the king-grade elixir. Although the master has not studied the art of alchemy, he has also refined most elixirs.
He is following the recipe for elixirs, but his advantage is that he has a long life and rich experience, and his elixir-forming rate is definitely higher than mine. However, his elixir-forming rate is only one-third, so my elixir-forming rate is probably higher than four.
It’s less than one percent, which is why I prepared five portions of medicinal ingredients for each elixir, but what I didn’t expect was that one elixir would be so expensive!”
When Zhan Chen thought that one elixir cost more than 20,000 king-grade immortal stones, then five elixirs would require 150,000 or 60,000 immortal stones, and these five elixirs might only be able to refine one king-grade elixir. Just now he was looking at
There were king-grade elixirs sold in Yuan Pavilion, and the cheapest one was only worth 100,000 king-grade immortal stones. In this way, I still lost all my money.
"Am I going to give up on making money by refining alchemy?" This idea suddenly popped up in Zhan Chen's mind, but he immediately rejected it: "I haven't started refining yet, why did I think of failure and becoming an elixir?"
The rate is low, just find a way to improve it, and I just took this opportunity to improve my alchemy skills!"
In just an instant, Zhan Chen's belief became firm. He said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, your elixirs are very expensive. Can you make them cheaper?"
"How much can you say?"
"Is half a million feasible?" Zhan Chen casually cut the elixir in half.
The shopkeeper waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Senior, please stop joking. Let me explain to you. We only earn a fraction of this business, which is only 70,000 King Grade Immortal Stones!"
Naturally, Zhan Chen wouldn't believe his lies, so he said, "Stop talking, what's the lowest you can give me?"
"One million, any less and you'll lose money."
"I'll go check out another store." After Zhan Chen said that, he walked out of the store. He deliberately walked very slowly to see if the shopkeeper would stop him. The result was disappointing, as the shopkeeper ignored him.
Next, Zhan Chen visited four or five more stores, only to find that the prices of their elixirs were a little more expensive than those of Qian Yaofang. The difference was basically not big, which shows that the world is as dark as crows.
So, Zhan Chen had no choice but to return to Qian Yaofang, and the shopkeeper seemed to be waiting for him to come back, and as soon as they met, he asked: "How is it, have you decided?"
Zhan Chen nodded and said, "One million, right?"
"Yes, no more."
"Okay, I bought it!"
…
Half an hour later, Zhan Chen returned home, took out the elixir he bought, and then combined it with the elixirs he originally owned, and divided them according to the recipe of each elixir.
Then, he entered the alchemy room and took out the Zhoutian Xingdou Furnace. Looking at this mysterious alchemy furnace, Zhan Chen sighed. This was the first time he had used it to refine alchemy, and he usually used his own.
Let’s try the Nine-turn Flame Phoenix Furnace. Because using the Zhoutian Star Dou Furnace consumes dozens of times more immortal energy than the Nine-turn Flame Phoenix Furnace.
Moreover, since he entered the Humanity Sect, his journey has been smooth sailing, and he has always met noble people to help him. He rarely makes elixirs by himself. Sometimes he just refines some simple elixirs casually, not for taking them himself, but for making himself feel better.
His alchemy skills will not go to waste.
Xingdou turned into a child and said to him: "Master, you finally remembered me."
"Xingdou, I'm going to use you to refine the King Grade elixir."
"Wangpin elixir, that's really great. Guangzhang often uses me to refine Wangpin elixir."
"Isn't there a Wangpin Dan furnace in Guangshang?" Zhan Chen asked casually.
"Of course not. The king-grade pill furnace is a hundred times rarer than the top-grade pill furnace. It is probably difficult for the ordinary Wanfa Ancestor to obtain even the top-grade pill furnace. Every top-grade pill furnace must be refined by the refiner, plus several
It takes millions of years of warming to take shape. Although I am only the best alchemy furnace, I am indeed the best among the best alchemy furnaces, with a very high rate of elixir formation."
"What I'm most worried about now is the rate of elixir success." Zhan Chen sighed.
"Master, don't worry, my characteristic is that I can gather the power of the stars in the sky to help you condense the elixir, which can increase your elixir formation rate by half."
Zhan Chen couldn't help but feel happy and said: "This is already very good, let's give it a try right away?"
"Okay." Xingdou said, and transformed into the alchemy furnace again, returning to Zhan Chen's hand.
Zhan Chen sent a stream of immortal energy into the alchemy furnace, and it turned into an alchemy furnace nearly as tall as a person and landed in the center of the alchemy room.
Then, he summoned Yin Meiru and said to her: "Meier, I want you to help me speed up time." Because it often takes more than ten years to refine a king-grade elixir, he asked Yin Meiru to help.
This will shorten the actual time it takes.
Yin Meiru nodded and said, "I understand."
Now that everything was finally ready, Zhan Chen became a little nervous. He took out fifteen elixir recipes and lost them in front of him. He selected them and finally chose a king-level elixir called Ebony Qiulong Dan. One of them
, the refining method of this king-grade elixir is relatively simple compared to other king-grade elixirs; secondly, the medicinal materials used in this elixir are also the cheapest, and even if the refining fails, the loss will not be too great.
Zhan Chen started the Zhoutian Star Dou Furnace, and the surface of the alchemy furnace immediately bloomed with soft silver starlight, which looked particularly charming.
The fire in the alchemy furnace also began to burn vigorously, but unlike the fires in other alchemy furnaces, the flames in the Zhoutian Xingdou furnace had a unique silver-white light.
Master Guanghong calls this flame the flame of stars, and it is said that it can give the refined elixir a strange star power. Zhan Chen is very familiar with this. The so-called star power is the star power he refined.
, this kind of power is really hard to fathom.
After observing for a while, Zhan Chen finally started refining. He put the elixirs one by one into the elixir furnace. Under the flames of the stars, the elixirs began to slowly melt and turned into pure vegetation.
Essence.
This process sounds simple, but in fact, extracting the essence of the king-grade elixir is more difficult and longer than any elixir Zhan Chen has refined before, and it is a test of a cultivator's immortality. Zhan Chen spends almost every month
Only one elixir can be successfully refined, and to refine the Ebony Horned Dragon Pill alone, which is a king-grade elixir, nearly twenty strains must be refined.
It took Zhan Chen five years to extract all the elixirs, fuse them together, and then try to concentrate the huge medicinal power into a pill.
However, at this moment, an accident happened. Due to a small negligence of Zhan Chen, the power of various elixirs in the elixir was imbalanced, causing the elixir to explode directly in the elixir furnace.
Thus, Zhan Chen's first attempt to refine a king-grade elixir ended in failure.
