After the maid explained the situation through the Dharma plate, not long after, a fat old man walked in.
"I am Master Li, who is responsible for appraising the magical artifacts. Take out the magical artifacts that need to be sold," the old man said.
Lin Fan took out all the medium-grade and high-grade magic weapons that he didn't need, almost filling half of the room.
"So many magic weapons!" Even Zhao Ling, who had been prepared, was surprised.
The maid on the side also opened her mouth in surprise, and even the well-informed old man was a little surprised.
It is not difficult to tell from the various magic weapons in front of you that the other party should have looted them from others.
"I didn't expect that this person is so young, but his hands are already covered with blood. However, this is very consistent with the style of my Blood Demon Sect." After thinking, the old man picked up the magic weapons and appraised them one by one.
After a while, the old man said: "These magic weapons total 21,200 spirit stones, so I will give them to fellow Taoists as 22,000 spirit stones."
Lin Fan's psychological price was around 20,000, so he readily accepted the offer.
"After deducting the 10,000 spirit stones from the alchemy manual, I still need to pay the fellow Taoist 12,000 spirit stones." The old man said and put away the magic weapons in the room.
After paying Lin Fan the full amount of spirit stones, he left the box with his maid.
As the auction continues, the value of the items being auctioned becomes higher and higher.
Soon, all kinds of top-quality magic weapons began to appear, and the black bear was itching to see them.
Among them, there were also many magic weapons that made Lin Fan's heart flutter.
It's just that although the spiritual stone in his hand is rich, there is not much left after taking away the requirements for elixir refining. He can only live his life and gain knowledge.
When the auction came to an end, Zhao Ling reminded: "Junior Brother Lin, you have to be more careful recently. Fan Zhiyi must be dissatisfied because he didn't win the elixir, and he might cause trouble for you."
"Thank you, senior sister, for reminding me, I will pay attention." Lin Fan said.
After the two said goodbye to each other, they each returned to their own caves.
…
After returning to Caiquan Island, Lin Fan couldn't wait to take out the prescription manual and read it.
The content inside is consistent with what the host introduced. There are six elixir recipes in total, including three second-level and third-level elixirs.
Among the second-level elixirs, in addition to the Yuan Yuan Dan that enhances cultivation and the Spiritual Resurrection Pill that quickly restores mana, there is also an elixir called "Yuan Yang Dan".
This Yuanyang Pill can help the meridians to more easily break through the small realm of the meridians. It is a more precious elixir than the Spiritual Return Pill.
Therefore, regardless of the difficulty of refining the elixir or its preciousness, Yuanyang Dan is the highest among the three, followed by the Spirit-Returning Dan and the Yuan-Condensing Dan is the lowest.
However, this is only a relative term. After all, Ning Yuan Dan is already a middle-level elixir among the second-level elixirs, and it is not simple to refine.
What he planned to refine this time was the Yuan Ning Dan.
It is said that if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. Now that he wants to refine second-level elixirs, it is naturally impossible to rely on the middle-level alchemy furnace in his hand.
So, he went out to do some shopping again.
First, I bought a second-level high-grade alchemy furnace, which cost five thousand spirit stones.
I also bought two hundred spiritual materials needed to refine the Yuan Ning Dan and two hundred kilograms of red charcoal.
One of the spiritual materials can be used to refine ten elixirs and is sold for eighty spiritual stones. Two hundred spiritual materials cost him a full sixteen thousand spiritual stones!
As for red charcoal, it is a more expensive and better type of charcoal than purple charcoal. It can provide a higher fire temperature to meet the needs of refining second-level elixirs.
One pound of red charcoal costs three spiritual stones, and its price is three times that of purple charcoal. Two hundred pounds of red charcoal cost him six hundred spiritual stones.
In this way, his net worth suddenly shrank significantly, leaving only more than a hundred spiritual stones.
From a rich man to a poor man in an instant.
"Practice alchemy is really expensive. No wonder the average small family can't afford an alchemist."
After preparing the materials, he began to study the specific refining steps of the Yuan Ning Dan based on the prescription.
This elixir recipe is indeed from the hands of Master Dong, a master of alchemy. It not only records the refining materials, refining steps and refining techniques of six kinds of elixirs in detail.
Even the specific details of the refining process are recorded in great detail.
Originally, he thought that spending 10,000 spirit stones to buy an elixir recipe was a bit expensive, but now it seems that the transaction is definitely worth it.
Because these experiences alone can help him avoid many detours when refining specific elixirs.
He memorized the specific steps for refining the Yuan Ning Dan, and immediately lit the red charcoal and started refining the elixir!
But this was his first time refining a second-level elixir, so not long after the spiritual material was put into the elixir furnace, the refining failed because he failed to control the temperature of the fire.
However, this was all within his expectation.
After cleaning up the discarded spiritual materials from the alchemy furnace, he immediately continued to try.
The second time ended in failure quickly, but it lasted longer than the first time.
Then came the third and fourth defeat.
After failing every day, he always persists longer than before.
In this way, after failing a full one hundred and fifty-eight times, he finally succeeded in producing the first batch of Yuan Ning Dan!
He excitedly opened the alchemy furnace and saw ten red-gray pills that were too small and lay quietly inside.
He took the elixir in his hand and examined it.
The result was just as he expected, the first one was indeed a waste elixir.
Since he had been refining the elixir continuously for more than a month, he was extremely exhausted both physically and mentally.
He decided to take a rest first and regain his energy before trying again. After a brief wash, he quickly fell asleep in bed.
When I woke up again, it was already the next night.
Due to his previous successful experience, he only failed twenty times this time before succeeding again.
This time, the color of the elixir has changed from reddish gray last time to red.
After some inspection, he showed a happy smile.
"good!"
The second-level elixir Condensing Yuan Dan was refined within two hundred times, which had met his expectations.
Because from his understanding, when an ordinary alchemist refines a second-level elixir for the first time, he often has to try thousands of times before he can successfully refine the first elixir.
His achievements are already extremely proud.
Next, he worked hard, consumed all the remaining twenty-two spiritual materials, and successfully refined two more furnaces of elixirs.
Now, things got a little awkward.
Since he only had more than a hundred spiritual stones left on him, he had no money to buy spiritual materials to continue practicing.
The three bottles of low-grade Yuan Ning Yuan Dan that came out of the furnace, if one bottle is priced at 500 spirit stones, can actually be sold for 1,500 spirit stones.
But this little spiritual stone is far from enough.
According to the current situation, he would have to practice at least a hundred more times before he could increase the success rate of Yuan Ning Dan to 20%.
In this case, he would not lose money while refining the alchemy, and could even make a lot of money.
But one hundred copies of the spiritual material of Yuan Ning Dan requires eight thousand spiritual stones.
"Where should I get this spiritual stone?" Lin Fan was lost in thought.
