Chapter 425 Concentrate on Alchemy (a big chapter with ten thousand words, thank you to He Dao Mo Ruge for the reward of one hundred thousand)
After returning to Guixin Sect, Jiang Beiran went back to his cabin first.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw a letter hidden under the door.
Bending down to pick up the envelope, Jiang Beiran took out the letter paper inside and read it.
'Senior brother, you have been promoted...'
When Fengzhou was purged, the Guixin Sect's territory expanded a lot, and naturally people had to be sent to take over the extra territory. Senior brother was one of the people who took over.
While Jiang Beiran was reading the letter, Xia Lingdang behind him secretly looked into the small house and found that the inside was spotless, as clean as a new house. This made her instantly put away her original idea of showing off her cleaning skills.
.
Putting away the letter from his senior brother, Jiang Beiran went to Lanxintang again, but found that the hall master was not there either, and he must have been sent abroad.
Looking at Lanxintang, which was being renovated everywhere, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
'It's so broad, it's so broad.'
When Jiang Beiran was sighing, Xia Lingdang was also sighing.
Ever since she entered Lanxintang, that familiar gaze has focused on her again.
Ridicule, disgust, disgust, etc...
This made Xia Lingdang instantly understand that her previous feelings were just illusions.
She thought that practitioners wouldn't care so much about other people's appearance, but now it seems that it's just the people around her master who don't care about her appearance.
'My master... is surrounded by gentle people.'
"Let's go."
Upon hearing her master's call, Xia Lingdang immediately followed her quickly. As for the looks in the eyes of the people around her, she was already used to it and didn't care at all.
Then Jiang Beiran went to Tianyun Peak again, and as expected, the sect master was not at home either.
‘Good guy… this is the rhythm of the base camp being evacuated.
Jiang Beiran even doubted whether Shi Fenglan was now the highest-level person in the sect.
'Are you really not afraid that someone will take advantage of you?'
But considering that Fengzhou has just been purged, and the old enemy Liang has become Liangzhou again, no one will cause trouble for the time being.
'But a group of new people should be promoted soon, otherwise the base camp will always be empty and it won't look good.'
No one who needed to visit was there, so Jiang Beiran took Xia Lingdang straight back to Tinglan Waterside Pavilion.
"Dong." "Dong."
After knocking on the door twice, Jiang Beiran soon heard a rush of footsteps rushing towards him.
With a "squeak", the door was opened, Xiao Duo revealed his head and shouted: "Brother Jiang."
Nodding towards Xiaoduo, Jiang Beiran walked into the door, followed closely by Xia Lingdang, and smiled at Xiaoduo as a greeting.
Walking into the courtyard, Jiang Beiran heard Shi Fenglan's voice from afar.
"Xiao Shuishui, what's wrong with you? Throw the dice quickly."
"Oh, okay." Yu Guishui replied, picked up the dice on the table and threw them out, but his mind was not at all on how the dice would turn out, but he kept looking out with his peripheral vision.
Until Shi Fenglan said, "Xiao Beiran, come on, come on."
Everyone at the table took advantage of the situation and looked towards Jiang Beiran, then they all stood up and saluted.
"Meet Senior Brother."
Looking at the four people saluting him in front of him, Jiang Beiran felt very uncomfortable for a moment. After all, ever since he met these five golden flowers, they seemed to have grown up together and appeared in front of him at the same time every time.
.
But Fang Qiuyao is missing today.
Just when Jiang Bei was wondering, the system options suddenly popped up.
[Option 1: Treat it as if it was not discovered. Completion reward: Broken Yuanming Formation Diagram (earth-level mid-grade)]
[Option 2: Ask Fang Qiuyao’s whereabouts. Completion reward: Random basic attribute point +1]
"ha!?"
Looking at the options that suddenly popped up, Jiang Beiran was really a little confused.
He has always been the only one to avoid these girls, but today the system actually asked him to take the initiative to get close to them.
'Something's wrong.'
It's just that something is wrong, so Jiang Beiran still chose the second queen and asked: "Fang Qiuyao is not here today?"
When their senior brother asked about Qiu Yao, Liu Zijin and the other four were obviously startled, but they soon became happy.
'Senior brother really does have us in his heart!'
In excitement, Yu Guishui took the lead in replying: "Qiu Yao went home a few days ago and will not be back until some time later."
'Going home...'
Jiang Beiran pondered for a moment after hearing this. Since the system asked him to ask specifically about Fang Qiuyao's whereabouts, it meant that it was definitely not easy for her to go home this time, otherwise it would not have led to the option of a prefecture-level mid-level option.
'Premonition of big trouble...'
Sighing in his heart, Jiang Beiran nodded and said: "Okay, you can continue playing."
At this time Shi Fenglan shouted: "Xiao Beiran, please wait a moment, this game will be over soon, come and see my chain fairy! She has learned two earth-level skills! No one can beat her!"
"
After looking at Shi Fenglan's arrogant look, Jiang Beiran replied, "Call me after you win" and walked out.
And when Jiang Beiran left, Liu Zijin and the others finally discovered that there was a dark-skinned girl standing next to them.
Seeing everyone's eyes focused on herself, Xia Lingdang bowed to everyone at a loss, and then quickly caught up with Jiang Beiran who was already outside.
Seeing Xia Lingdang standing behind their senior brother naturally, the four of them suddenly had a question in their minds.
'How did she do it!?'
They have known their senior brother for so long, and every time they see him, he is alone and never brings anyone with him.
But this girl was obviously brought here by her senior brother, and she seemed to be very used to being by his side. It was obvious that this situation had been going on for some time.
'So...how did she do it!?'
The four girls were full of doubts.
In the garden, Jiang Beiran took out a piece of talisman paper and wrote a few lines on it, folded it into a paper kite and let it fly out. Immediately, Shi Fenglan's dissatisfied shouts came to his ears.
"Oh! Why are you all so absent-minded?"
After Yu Guituan forgot to draw a card again, Shi Fenglan couldn't help but put her hands on her hips and shouted.
Yu Guituan's mind was now full of wanting to ask the girl how she did it, so her thoughts on playing chess naturally disappeared.
After hearing the dissatisfied words of the hall master, he quickly drew a card and said: "This disciple is just thinking about how to match his moves. Don't be angry, hall master."
"Then have you thought about it?"
"Well, I've thought about it." After Yu Guituan said that, he picked up the dice and threw it down.
At this time, Jiang Beiran brought Xia Lingdang back to the main hall and walked to a corner of the hall under the sneak glances of everyone.
"You can practice here and become familiar with the flow of profound energy in your body as soon as possible."
"Yes! I understand." Xia Lingdang sat down cross-legged after saying that.
"Hiss..." Seeing this scene, Liu Zijin and the others couldn't help but take a breath of air.
‘Senior brother teaches you personally!?’
The four people were simply stunned.
'This is not your usual senior brother!'
After Xia Lingdang sat down cross-legged and started practicing, Jiang Beiran began to use his mental power to detect the mysterious energy in her body.
'No...it's too slow.'
Although Xia Lingdang can now slowly absorb spiritual energy, the speed is too slow. If she goes at this speed, she will probably only be an ordinary disciple in Guixin Sect, or even below the rank.
'It seems that before the adventure is triggered, she can really only be an ordinary cultivator.'
With their minds completely attracted by that girl, Liu Zijin and the others were quickly defeated one by one, and were killed by Shi Fenglan, leaving no one behind.
"Ah ha ha ha ha! I am indeed the best!"
After laughing happily, Shi Fenglan looked at Jiang Beiran and shouted: "Xiao Beiran, come on, come on! It's a new round."
"coming."
After agreeing, Jiang Beiran sat down at the table.
Seeing that Xiao Beiran was so motivated today, Shi Fenglan was also extremely happy and happily packed away the cards and props.
The reason why Jiang Beiran came here today is because he still remembered that Liu Zijin had clues about Jingtianyan.
Previously, Jiang Beiran thought that a treasure such as Jingtianyan, which was famous on the rare list, could be found in the Shi family, but in fact it was not.
Later, Jiang Beiran entrusted Shi Hongfang to help him keep an eye on it, but unfortunately it disappeared and there was no news again.
In desperation, Jiang Beiran had no choice but to continue trying to get some news about Jingtianyan from Liu Zijin.
Because of the addition of Jiang Beiran, although the concentration of Liu Zijin and the four others was occasionally attracted by Xia Lingdang, they were still much more serious than in the previous round.
"I will use Jingtianyan to burn this misty forest."
Halfway through the game, Yu Guituo took out a [Jingtianyan] to deal with the event cards he encountered.
At this time Jiang Beiran said: "Speaking of which, I heard about this strange fire in Baoqi County when I went out this time. It's a pity that I didn't see it when I went there."
After hearing this, Liu Zijin immediately took up the conversation and said: "I have also heard of this fire. My father also saw it when he went to an auction. Unfortunately, its value was too high, and my father could only take a look.
, and later I heard that it seemed to have been bought by a big shot in the country."
'The country...'
Seeing that it was so easy to extract useful information, Jiang Beiran decisively stopped and did not continue asking, because the existing information was enough.
If a treasure like Jingtian Yan enters the auction, it will definitely cause a bloody storm, and the people who will finally buy it must be some well-known local strong men.
In other words, it should be relatively easy to find out about the existence of Jingtian Yan by going to the country and asking about a few top sects.
With Jingtianyan's clues, Jiang Beiran began to concentrate on playing chess. During this period, he would occasionally sigh for other treasures, so that Jingtianyan would not appear so obtrusive.
But the level of his casual play also made Shi Fenglan so suppressed that she could hardly breathe.
She obviously just wanted to sleep quietly, but Jiang Beiran came to attack her every two days, making her growth strategy proceed very slowly.
"Oh! Xiao Beiran, don't always snatch what's mine! Can't you just snatch what's mine?"
After Jiang Beiran used the Qiankun Finger again and took away two hundred dollars from her Chain Fairy, Shi Fenglan was so angry that she wanted to jump.
"You have a lot of money, so of course I'll steal it from you." After Jiang Beiran said that, he hit Shi Fenglan and took out the second Qiankun Finger.
"Xiao! Bei! Ran!" Shi Fenglan shouted with her hands on her hips.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Beiran raised his eyes and asked.
Shi Fenglan, who was glanced at, instantly lost her momentum and said aggrievedly: "You...you should steal less."
"Then I have no say." Jiang Beiran said and threw the dice out.
"One, one, one..." Shi Fenglan looked at the dice and kept chanting.
But it was obviously useless, and the dice finally stopped firmly on the six side.
"Ah!" Shi Fenglan screamed, completely unable to accept this reality.
"A total of six hundred dollars." Jiang Beiran stretched out his hand and said.
"I...I...I don't have six hundred dollars!" Shi Fenglan said with an aggrieved look.
"Then I'll suffer a little loss. Give me as much as you have."
"Hmph, I'll give it all to you!" Shi Fenglan picked up all her belongings and pushed them in front of Jiang Beiran.
"Thank you."
Seeing Xiao Beiran with a smile on her face and holding her own property, Shi Fenglan gritted her teeth and said: "I will definitely get it back from you!"
However, until the end of the game, Shi Fenglan didn't steal a single coin from Jiang Beiran, and said with a sullen face: "Come again, come again! I won't give in this time!"
Just like this, three games played in a row. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Jiang Beiran put away Jiang Ziya, who was becoming more and more popular, and said: "That's all for today, Lingdang, get ready to leave."
"Here we come!" Xia Lingdang, who was meditating, quickly stood up and followed Jiang Beiran.
'Senior brother actually asked her to follow him!?'
Liu Zijin and the other two were so envious that they went crazy!
What kind of divine treatment is this!? What is the origin of this girl named Lingdang!?
When Liu Zijin and the others were shocked, Shi Fenglan grabbed Jiang Beiran's clothes and said: "You can't just leave after winning. One more, one more, I will definitely win this time!"
"Another day."
Hearing Xiao Beiran's refusal again, Shi Fenglan had no choice but to loosen her hands and said: "Okay, then you will come to gamble another day. It's agreed."
"Yeah." Jiang Beiran nodded and walked out with Xia Lingdang, but just as he crossed the threshold, the system options suddenly popped up.
[Option 2: Bring Liu Zijin and the others to ask about Fang Qiuyao. Completion reward: Random basic attribute point +1]
"..."
Looking at these two options, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but look up at the sky.
'Fuck me?'
Taking the initiative to contact Fang Qiuyao has already made Jiang Beiran puzzled enough. Now it's better to include the other four.
'What is this for? All troops attack?'
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Beiran stepped over the threshold and turned back to Liu Zijin and the four of them and shouted: "Liu Zijin, you guys, come out."
[Optional mission completed, reward: Agility +1]
"Hey!?" The four of them suddenly felt a little flattered.
'This is different from the usual senior brothers!'
But no matter why the senior brother had such a change, the four of them still happily responded and ran out.
"Senior brother, what do you want from us?" Liu Zijin took the lead and asked.
Before questioning, Jiang Beiran scanned them with his mental power as usual and found that these four people had grown a lot.
Liu Zijin is already at the seventh level of Xuanling, and the three sisters of the Yu family are at the fifth level of Xuanling.
‘Are we really going to catch up with Qingce!?’
Jiang Beiran was a little confused. Originally, he thought that with Qing Ce standing in front of him, no matter how hard they tried, these five people would not be able to become the number one disciple in the sect. Now it would be better. This is not how you chase after you all, right? What about cheating?
This made Jiang Beiran couldn't help but want to look up at the sky again and ask...
'Just do it forcefully?'
'No, I have to give Qingce something big when he is promoted to King Xuan tomorrow, but I don't dare let them catch up.'
After being surprised, Jiang Beiran looked at the four of them and asked, "Did anything happen to Fang Qiuyao recently?"
‘Qiu Yao…?’ Liu Zijin blinked twice, somewhat confused as to why his senior brother suddenly asked this question.
But after thinking for a moment, Liu Zijin still replied: "I haven't heard Qiu Yao say that..."
"Think about it carefully." Jiang Beiran asked, staring at Liu Zijin.
'hiss……'
Seeing the long-lost look in his senior brother's eyes, Liu Zijin couldn't help but feel numb all over.
But because her senior brother didn't reprimand her, Liu Zijin could barely hold on.
In addition, she also believed that her senior brother would not ask this question without reason, so she immediately tried hard to recall it.
At this time, Yu Guishui suddenly said: "Sister Qiu Yao was often distracted some time ago. When I asked her why, she said she was thinking about the exercises."
"Yes, yes!" Yu Guimiao nodded, "I have seen Sister Qiu Yao distracted a few times recently. I just thought she was thinking about the exercises again, so I didn't ask, senior brother, what's wrong with Sister Qiu Yao?"
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran said, "Do you know where Fang Qiuyao lives?"
"I know." The four of them nodded at the same time.
"Go check to see if anything happened at their house, and then come back and tell me."
Since the last time they were asked to go to their senior brother for "help," they have actually become his subordinates that he can call upon, and the system will not jump through options as fiercely as when it first met them.
The reason is also very simple. Nowadays, there are almost no people and things that can threaten him in Sheng Kingdom.
Although Jiang Beiran figured this out last time, he still didn't plan to actually take them under his wing. After all, there were still unstable factors in them.
It's just that the system is so tough this time, Jiang Beiran has no choice but to use them again.
Liu Zijin, who felt more and more strange, couldn't help asking: "Senior brother...what happened at Qiu Yao's house?"
"You will know if you go and ask. In addition, don't make this matter public. Just you few know about it."
"I know." Liu Zijin nodded vigorously, looked at the three sisters of the Yu family and said, "Then let's go."
"Okay." The three of them nodded in unison.
After bowing to Jiang Beiran, the four of them went to say goodbye to the hall master, and then walked down the mountain together.
After they left, Shi Fenglan came out and said, "Xiao Beiran, what happened?"
"Nothing." Jiang Beiran shook his head and walked outside with Xia Lingdang.
"Huh! If you don't say it, don't say it~" Making a face at Xiao Beiran's back, Shi Fenglan returned to the central hall.
Jiang Beiran, who left Tinglan Waterside Pavilion, took Xia Lingdang back to the self-enchantment in Jinyao Town.
He had calmed down all day now, and it was time to challenge alchemy again.
Entering the alchemy room, Jiang Beiran first touched the Golden Crow Cauldron and then sat down cross-legged.
He decided to review the essence of alchemy first, and then find out where his problem lies.
First of all, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth has the characteristic of "fusion and change of quality". What is fusion?
That is, under special conditions, aura can be closely integrated with other substances to form a new "special aura".
For example, after spiritual energy is fused with special earth veins, five elements of spiritual energy are formed, which can produce special five elements of spiritual energy.
And when the spiritual energy is integrated with those heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can be refined into elixirs, its medicinal ingredients will gradually sublimate, and finally a unique medicinal spiritual energy will be formed.
It should be noted that only a small part of the medicinal substances in the treasure materials can be integrated with the spiritual energy, while the other large part without medicinal substances is still present.
And the part that has not become medicinal spiritual energy is the key to reflecting the skill of the alchemist.
Lower-level alchemists will remove all the parts that are not transformed into medicinal spiritual energy and extract the essence of medicinal spiritual energy. This is undoubtedly a waste.
A high-level alchemist can simulate and even optimize the birth process of medicinal spiritual energy, and convert the most part that has not been converted into medicinal spiritual energy into medicinal spiritual energy. In this way, the value of the entire treasure will be one
Quality improvement.
So the purpose of alchemy is very clear.
It means to first extract the medicinal spiritual energy from the treasure material, and after understanding its birth process, inject more spiritual energy so that the remaining parts that have not been transformed into medicinal spiritual energy will be completely transformed into medicinal spiritual energy.
If you can convert 50% of a treasure material into medicinal spiritual energy, that is enough to become a seventh-level alchemist.
If 70% of a treasure material can be converted into medicinal spiritual energy, that is something that only an eighth-level alchemist or above can do.
As for converting 100% of a treasure material into medicinal spiritual energy, congratulations.
You have exceeded the upper limit of the alchemist's knowledge.
You can shout proudly.
"I'm no longer a human being!"
When 70% of the precious materials are converted into medicinal spiritual energy, the second important function and purpose of alchemy is to eliminate as much as possible the poisonous spiritual energy that accompanies the medicinal spiritual energy.
After all, the saying that medicine is three parts poison is very applicable here.
The more powerful the medicinal spiritual energy contained in the treasure material, the more ferocious the poisonous spiritual energy contained in it. It is extremely difficult to completely remove it, and the higher the quality of the elixir, the more difficult this step is during refining.
This is why it is said that Luo Wenzhou's innate green scale body is the most powerful talent of an alchemist.
Because even a ninth-grade alchemist would not dare to say that he would be able to completely remove the poisonous aura in the elixir, but an alchemist with an innate green scale body can do it!
Jiang Beiran can now easily convert 70% of the substances in the treasure material into medicinal spiritual energy. In the previous two failed attempts, he tried to convert 80% of the material in the treasure material into medicinal spiritual energy.
'Is it because I didn't transform them perfectly? It shouldn't be...'
When refining the eighth-grade elixir, if only 70% of the substance can be converted into medicinal spiritual energy, the efficacy of the medicine will definitely be much worse. That is why Jiang Beiran pursues perfection and converts 80% of the material into medicinal spiritual energy.
And the process went very smoothly and there were no big mistakes.
Thinking of this, Jiang Beiran closed his eyes again and concentrated, thinking about the two problems that all alchemists have to face.
The first is the issue of converting medicinal spiritual energy. Under what circumstances can the medicinal material components inside the treasure materials be fully integrated with the spiritual energy and be converted into medicinal spiritual energy at most.
The simplest and most crude method is to use older medicinal materials.
Because the older the elixir is, the more the aura transforms and optimizes its material during its growth process. As a result, the upper limit of the material's own material's ability to carry the elixir's aura will become higher, and the ability to convert it into medicinal aura will be higher.
The process will also become easier.
There is only one drawback to this approach.
That’s expensive!
The older the elixir is, the rarer it will naturally be, and the rarer the elixir will be, the more expensive it will be. The ones that are thousands or even ten thousand years old are priced but not available, and you can't even buy them if you want.
However, Jiang Beiran cannot worry about this problem for the time being, because the elixirs he collected on Jinding Island this time are all very old, starting from five hundred years old, and there are several thousand years old.
Although it is not enough to support his extravagant spending, it is still enough.
The second method is the most classic method of "monarch, minister and assistant" in alchemy.
The so-called "monarch, minister, assistant and envoy" represents the hierarchical distinction of elixirs.
The king is a high-grade medicine, mainly for "nourishing life", the minister is a medium-grade medicine, mainly for "nurturing the nature", and the assistant is a low-grade medicine, mainly for "treating diseases".
So how to use "Monarchs, Ministers and Envoys" to solve the problem of converting spiritual energy is to use a variety of elixirs in a certain proportion and in the correct order during the same alchemy process to make them produce wonderful reactions.
When several, or even dozens of elixirs are mixed together in the right way, the life of that elixir as the main elixir of "Jun" will continue to increase. In this way, the effect of converting spiritual energy will naturally be better.
Moreover, the new mixed medicine aura created by the combination will be more effective than the original single medicine aura.
But this also tests the knowledge level of the alchemist.
Which medicines can be regarded as "lords", and when this medicine becomes "lords", which medicines should be used as "ministers" and which medicines should be used as "adjuvant envoys".
At the same time, the distribution proportions of the three monarch drugs, ministerial drugs, and auxiliary drugs must be exactly the same, and the order and timing of their respective administration must also be accurate to the second.
If you can't figure this out, your harvest will only be a furnace of useless elixirs.
And if you want to understand these, you must have a lot of experience in alchemy, and be well aware of the medicinal properties and characteristics of each precious material.
In order to pursue perfection, Jiang Beiran of course also used the alchemy method of "monarch, minister and envoy". Although he did not have a lot of experience in alchemy, he was well aware of the medicinal properties and characteristics of each treasure material to be refined.
'Is it because I am inexperienced? It is possible...'
Jiang Beiran was originally very confident in the alchemy method of "Monarch, Minister and Envoy", but he failed to make three batches of elixirs in a row, which forced him to reflect on himself.
"But compared to my lack of experience... I feel that the possibility of heaven targeting me is more likely."
When using the alchemy method of "Monarch, Minister and Envoy", so many elements are integrated together, and there are too many variables. If you are not lucky and just rely on hard confrontation, you may fail.
'But what can I do about luck?'
All he can do is do his best, and the rest he can only obey fate.
But this destiny...
Jiang Beiran sighed, only hoping that his [luck] points could increase a little more.
In addition to converting spiritual energy, there is another problem that also gives many alchemists a headache.
That is carrying.
Under what circumstances can the material of the elixir be able to withstand the increasing amount of medicinal spiritual energy? You must know that once the medicinal spiritual energy goes wild, the increasing homogeneous repulsive force inside the furnace will directly lead to "explosion of the furnace".
Jiang Beiran was worried about this at first, but now it's better. With the Star Anise Ice Grass, this big problem can be easily solved.
There is no technical difficulty at all.
This is also the reason why Jiang Beiran did not hide his superb alchemy ability at all when he went to thank Shi Weiyi.
What they gave me was a big treasure! A big treasure that alchemists dream of!
"call……"
Taking a long breath, Jiang Beiran slowly opened his eyes. After a brainstorm, he initially sorted out the reasons why he had spent three consecutive furnaces of elixirs.
So if luck cannot be changed, or cannot be changed in a short period of time, he can only continue to improve the aspect of "doing his best".
'It seems that we have to put it on the agenda to talk to some high-level alchemists about this matter.'
For example, in the matter of jade refining, although Jiang Beiran can become Gao Lanwen's master, this is because he possesses both superb jade refining skills and superb array formation methods.
As for jade refining, Gao Lanwen actually has a lot worth learning.
You must know that Gao Lanwen is only an eighth-grade jade master. If he were to be replaced by a ninth-grade jade master, Jiang Beiran believed that he would definitely learn more.
It's a pity that existences like the ninth-grade Xuan Art Master are rare in the Six Kingdoms. Their status is aloof and not something he can just meet if he wants to. In addition, after meeting him, it is likely to cause a series of subsequent reactions.
These are all troubles.
'It's so annoying!'
Jiang Beiran complained in his heart and decided to find another way.
Since we can't make significant progress in alchemy for the time being, we can only make the tools more advanced.
Although he now owns a top-level alchemy container like the Golden Crow Cauldron, he still feels that he has not fully exploited the potential of the Golden Crow Cauldron.
It's just that he doesn't know where to find the "instructions" for the Golden Crow Cauldron, so he has to study the cauldron himself.
Stretching out his hands and pressing them on the Golden Crow Cauldron, Jiang Beiran closed his eyes and began to light the fire in the furnace.
Unlike ordinary medicinal cauldrons that can only ignite "mundane fire", the Golden Crow Cauldron can ignite "elic fire".
Although there is only one word difference between "alchemy fire" and "ordinary fire", the effect is vastly different.
Because "Alchemy" has the "gold" attribute among the five elements, it may be able to overcome the "wood" attribute of medicinal herbs.
Can liquefy elixirs more easily.
It was at this point that Jiang Beiran felt that he had not fully utilized the characteristics of the Golden Crow Cauldron.
He felt that based on the quality of the Golden Crow Cauldron, it would definitely be able to generate a higher-quality "alchemy fire" that could not only liquefy the elixir, but also make it easier to absorb spiritual energy while liquefying it, thus transforming the
For medicinal spiritual energy.
Improving the quality of "Elixir Fire" cannot be accomplished overnight. Jiang Beiran still needs to use the Golden Crow Cauldron a few more times before he can become completely proficient in using it.
In addition to improving the quality of "Alchemy Fire", Jiang Beiran felt that he had not fully utilized the function of the Golden Crow Cauldron by introducing spiritual energy.
Since it is "injection and transformation".
If you want to convert the elixir into medicinal spiritual energy, you must first introduce the spiritual energy from the outside.
The higher the quality of the elixir, the greater the amount of spiritual energy required, and the higher the quality of the medicinal cauldron, the more spiritual energy it can absorb.
And this inhaling more spiritual energy is the most critical point.
If we use the metaphor of spiritual energy quantification, an ordinary medicinal cauldron can only absorb and store five kilograms of spiritual energy at most. A better quality medicinal cauldron can absorb and store twenty kilograms of spiritual energy. A medicinal cauldron that can be called top-grade by alchemists can absorb and store fifty kilograms of spiritual energy.
Jin spirit energy.
As for the Golden Crow Cauldron, Jiang Beiran initially estimated that it can absorb and store two hundred kilograms of spiritual energy!
This is a very exaggerated value.
You must know that the more abundant the spiritual energy is, the higher the probability that the elixir will be converted into medicinal spiritual energy.
If two hundred kilograms of spiritual energy are maintained in the furnace, it will be of great benefit whether it is simulating or optimizing the production process of medicinal spiritual energy.
The fault tolerance rate is also much greater than that of ordinary medicine cauldrons.
It's just that Jiang Beiran feels that two hundred kilograms of spiritual energy is still not the upper limit of this Golden Crow Cauldron. It can definitely absorb and store more, but he hasn't discovered the method yet.
Once you find a problem, find a way to solve it.
After carefully feeling the internal structure of the Golden Crow Cauldron, Jiang Beiran slowly let go of his hand and began to think about how to unleash the potential of this cauldron.
The first is the environment, although the aura in the self-boundary is far richer than outside.
But because the spiritual energy gathering point used by Jiang Beiran to build this self-border was of too low a grade, the quality of the built self-border would naturally not be too high.
And at that time, Jiang Beiran just wanted to try it out first, so he didn't strive for excellence.
However, this problem is not difficult to solve. It can be said that the self-enchantment of Qi State has been surpassed in all aspects. As long as it is completed, a better refining point will be available.
In addition to the environment, Jiang Beiran plans to use other mysterious arts to strengthen the Golden Crow Cauldron.
Lifting the cauldron with one hand, Jiang Beiran touched the bottom of the cauldron and felt the direction of the flow of spiritual energy.
After confirming it, he gently put down the Golden Crow Cauldron and began to think about how to strengthen it.
'If you carve a spirit-guiding array under the cauldron, it should be able to attract higher-level spiritual energy, and at the same time, the speed of energy supply will become faster.'
‘With the Spirit Guiding Array, if we carve another Spirit Gathering Array inside the cauldron... then we should be able to store more spiritual energy in the cauldron.
Then Jiang Beiran squatted down and looked at the inside of the Golden Crow Cauldron for a while.
As one of the skills of a refiner, Jiang Beiran is naturally familiar with cauldron casting.
Although Jiang Beiran is not too confident about casting a top-quality treasure like the Golden Crow Cauldron, there is still no problem in slightly modifying it.
'If you make a spiritual energy interface, can you use spiritual stones to provide spiritual energy to it?'
Jiang Beiran felt that there was nothing wrong with his idea, but he was still a little worried that he would damage the Golden Crow Cauldron. After all, he had never modified a treasure of this level.
'Let's try some other tripods first.'
After thinking of so many ways to improve alchemy in one breath, Jiang Beiran got up and left the alchemy room. He had no intention of refining alchemy before making these preparations.
waste!
At the same time, Liu Zijin and the four of them arrived at Fang Qiuyao's house in the town.
"Hello, we are Fang Qiuyao's friends. Is she at home?" Liu Zijin stepped forward and asked the guard at the door.
The moment he saw Liu Zijin and the three sisters of the Yu family, the guard's eyes widened.
He originally thought that his young lady was the only one in the world, but he didn't expect to see several beauties who could rival his young lady today.
"Yes... yes." The guard stammered and nodded.
"Then please let me know, Liu Zijin has something to do and comes to visit me."
Another guard next to him immediately said after hearing this: "Okay, I will notify you right now!"
But just as he was about to run away, he was pulled back by the guard who was talking to Liu Zijin, "Stand your guard well. Since I agreed, of course I will go."
After saying that, he rushed into the house.
After a while, the guard ran back panting.
"A few...ladies, please come with me. I will take you to see my eldest lady."
Another guard saw it and said quickly: "You are so tired, let me bring some ladies in."
"Go, go, what's the matter with you? Stay at your post, or I'll tell Butler Li that you're AWOL."
In addition, although the guard wanted to retort, he had to endure it when he thought that he was the cousin of Butler Li's wife's uncle.
"Thank you."
Nodding towards the guard, Liu Zijin followed him into the mansion.
Only one guard was left with tears of regret.
'Why...why don't I have any connections?"
The Fang Mansion is considered one of the largest families in Xiangmen Town, so the mansion is quite large. Liu Zijin and the four of them followed the guards for a while before arriving at the North Hall, which is dedicated to receiving guests.
"Sister Zijin!"
Before the guard could bring Liu Zijin into the hall, Fang Qiuyao, who had been waiting here, ran out.
"Qiu Yao." Liu Zijin shouted happily.
Taking Liu Zijin's arm, Fang Qiuyao looked at the three sisters of the Yu family and said happily: "Why are you all here?"
"Let me see you. You haven't been in the hall for several days."
"Didn't I say there is something going on at home?" Fang Qiuyao said, pulling Liu Zijin forward and saying, "Come on, come on, I'll take you to my room."
Seeing the five people entering the north hall together with smiles, the guard felt a sense of pleasure, but he also knew that he could not cross the line, so after Liu Zijin and the others disappeared around the corner, they walked towards the door.
'Oh, if I can find a wife like this fairy, then my life will not be in vain.'
After dragging Liu Zijin and the others back to their room, Fang Qiuyao took out the fruit plate and candied snacks and put them on the table.
"I'm so happy that you can come." Fang Qiuyao said, holding the hands of several people.
Looking at the delicious food on the table, Yu Guituo picked up a piece of Ruyi cake and said while eating: "We are also very happy to see Sister Qiu Yao."
At this time, Liu Zijin took Fang Qiuyao's hand and sat at the table and asked, "What happened to your family? Why haven't you come back after so many days?"
"It's just a small matter, sister Zijin, don't worry, I will go back soon."
After hearing this, Liu Zijin couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.
Although Qiu Yao had been very happy since entering the house, she was too familiar with Qiu Yao. Although she tried her best to hide it, Liu Zijin still saw that she was trying to show off her strength.
In addition, senior brother never speaks without a clear purpose, so something big must have happened in Qiu Yao's family.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Zijin suddenly looked directly at Fang Qiuyao and said seriously.
"Qiu Yao, in fact, we all know about your family's affairs."
Fang Qiuyao was stunned after hearing this, and at the same time, the smile gradually disappeared from her face.
