But he didn't expect that making alchemy would be so difficult.
He even suspected that the alchemy encyclopedia he received from the alchemy room was fake.
Why do I always make mistakes when I follow all the alchemy techniques and steps step by step?
It took ten days and tried a hundred times.
All the furnaces were fried, and none of them succeeded.
But Lin Xi at least proved one thing, that her understanding was definitely not bad, because Shi Zhong's performance was even more outrageous than hers. He had made elixirs a hundred times, but even failed to refine the elixir in the first step nearly fifty times.
"Lin Xi, it seems that I really don't have any potential for alchemy." Shi Zhong said helplessly.
"I can see it too." Lin Xi raised her head and said, "How about you go and practice honestly."
"okay."
Shi Zhong left Lin Xi's courtyard and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Huh, luckily I don't have this qualification.
Refining alchemy is too expensive.
How much would it cost to refining the elixir a hundred times and wasting it?
Shi Zhong felt sorry for Lin Xi.
No matter what, let’s just practice hard.
Lin Xi thought about it and felt something was wrong, and then went to find Xia Chengfeng.
Xia Chengfeng knew what Lin Xi had encountered and couldn't help but smile: "Junior brother Lin, this is how alchemy is. You have to keep trying to get started. It's not that your alchemy technique is wrong, but you don't practice enough. Wait until you really get started.
If you do, everything will go smoothly. This is the case for all of us alchemy disciples."
Lin Xi felt relieved after hearing Xia Chengfeng's words.
This is why there are so few monks who also practice elixirs and why elixirs are so precious.
What a waste of money and energy.
It is difficult for casual cultivators to produce some powerful alchemists. Only large sects of large sects have the confidence to cultivate their own alchemists.
Although the initial investment is large, once you get in the door, everything will be easy.
Even if you can only refine one grade of elixir, your life will not be too difficult at least.
However, since the initial investment for the alchemy room disciples is entirely provided by the Qingyun Sect, after getting started, they need to refine some elixirs for the sect free of charge, which is considered an equal exchange.
If you don't have this qualification, the sect will still look down upon you.
Invest in the early stage in exchange for big returns later on.
Lin Xi was able to settle the deal.
He is rich, but he will never rest on his laurels. This is the simple characteristic of the Qian family.
Qian's family will spend money, and they will also make money.
Lin Xi returned to her small courtyard and began to make alchemy seriously again.
Finally, after trying more than ten times, I finally found a feeling. After the medicinal power was refined, there was no longer that raw feeling, but the medicinal power was easily integrated.
In the alchemy furnace, the medicinal power of various elixirs finally gathered together freely.
The true energy transforms into fire and controls the temperature of the fire.
Lin Xi swallowed the Shengyuan Dan while continuing to control the heat. He suppressed the surprise in his heart and blended all the medicine together, gradually becoming one.
At this time, he felt a little excited, and as a result, his true energy fluctuated, and the fire was slightly out of whack.
That's how alchemy works, no mistakes are allowed.
Lin Xi's eyes widened.
Depend on!
boom!!
Black smoke filled the air.
Lin Xi once again walked out of the courtyard in disgrace. Looking at the small courtyard that was almost blackened, she felt like crying.
Just a little bit closer.
All it takes is the steps to become an elixir.
Damn it.
"I don't believe it anymore. I still can't refine a small golden marrow pill?" Lin Xi held her breath, walked into the hut again, cleaned it up and continued to refine the pill.
...
...
It's getting dark.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk.”
There was a knock on the door.
He stopped practicing and opened the door. He saw an embarrassed young man with a face covered in red ash and black clothes: "Who are you?"
"Me!" Lin Xi glared at Shi Zhong.
"Hahahaha, Lin Xi, it's you." Shi Zhong covered his mouth and snickered: "Ahem, I'm sorry, the red ash is too heavy and I didn't recognize you, what's wrong?"
"My yard is too messy. I'll stay here for a few days." Lin Xi said.
"No problem, come in."
The courtyards of the outer disciples are all similar, except that Shi Zhong's hut looks much cleaner and has a faint scent of herbs, which seems to be the kind of herbs used by farmers to get rid of insects.
"Is there anything to eat? I'm starving to death. I've been practicing alchemy all day and I forgot to eat." Lin Xi said, rubbing her belly.
Although monks can do fasting.
But Lin Xi obviously hasn't reached that level yet.
"I also have some pastries here, which I secretly brought out from the cafeteria and are going to be used as a midnight snack. I'll give them to you first."
Shi Zhong contributed his midnight snack.
It was a large plate of various pastries, enough for seven or eight people. Of course, the Qingyun Sect would not treat its disciples poorly when it comes to food. These pastries are made from Linggu and are good for the body.
Shi Zhong's appetite is really amazing, and he is somewhat famous in the outer sect.
Fortunately, the canteen provides free food, otherwise he wouldn't be willing to eat so much.
Because of this, Shi Zhong felt extremely grateful to the Qingyun Sect and had a full sense of belonging. After all, it fulfilled his dream of having enough food and clothing.
Lin Xi picked up the pastry and wolfed it down, her mouth full of delicious food.
It tastes really good.
"Did the alchemy fail again?" Shi Zhong asked.
Lin Xi swallowed a mouthful of cake: "Are you kidding? Who am I?"
"You are Lin Xi, a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, with mixed spiritual roots of the Five Elements. You were brought into the Qingyun Sect by True Lord Tianhe..."
"Okay, okay, you don't have to really answer." Lin Xi glanced at Shi Zhong helplessly, then took out ten small jade bottles from the Qiankun bag and lined them up: "Of course I succeeded."
Even though the elixir was placed in a small jade bottle, the rich fragrance of elixir filled the entire room.
"The furnace was opened ten times, three were successful, and a total of ninety-seven pills were produced."
Lin Xi smiled happily: "Except for the poor quality of the first furnace, the quality of the second and third successful furnaces were all above the qualified line. I finally learned how to alchemy marrow pills."
The success rate is 30%, which is a bit low.
After all, it's just a low-level elixir.
There are about thirty golden marrow pills in one furnace, which is a bit small. A veteran can make more than fifty pills in one furnace, and some alchemists who are proficient in this pill can even make nearly a hundred pills in one furnace.
This means that the medicinal power is not wasted at all, it is all condensed into a pill.
But Lin Xi can't do it yet.
But he believes that he will be able to do it if he continues to work hard.
"Wow, how much can these golden marrow pills be sold for?" Shi Zhong was very excited.
Lin Xi smiled and said: "Although it is not the best quality Golden Marrow Pill, six or seven spiritual stones per pill should not be a problem."
"What about the cost?"
"You really hit the nail on the head." Lin Xi rolled her eyes: "You can't make me more happy."
Shi Zhong said embarrassedly: "Then I won't ask."
However, Lin Xi still replied: "In order to get started, I spent about 40,000 to 50,000 spirit stones, not counting the time cost. The cost of these ten furnaces of pills is about 3,000 spirit stones."
"Based on seven spiritual stones for each golden marrow pill, the ninety-seven pills total 679 spiritual stones. It seems like a big loss." Shi Zhong said quickly.
"I know I lost money." Lin Xi gritted his teeth and said, "You are pretty quick at calculating money. It would be a pity not to be the accountant."
Shi Zhong scratched his head and laughed innocently.
