Hearing Chang Wubing's words, Qingtian Sanren was very pleased and nodded: "You are right. Every time we refine a batch of elixir, we are equivalent to compiling a new elixir. The only thing we are better than the person who created the elixir is
What saves trouble for seniors is that there are ready-made elixir recipes for reference. Therefore, you should read more and practice more, master the characteristics of each elixir, observe the potency of each elixir, and configure the various medicinal materials in the elixir formula.
Fine-tune the proportions and adjust them to the best mixing ratio. Not only in terms of elixirs, but also in other aspects such as material purification and refining, elixir refining methods, fire configuration methods, etc. Each step has an impact on the final elixir.
Influenced.”
Although Qingyang has never refined elixirs, he understands all the words of Qingtian Sanren. It is easy to learn alchemy, but it is very difficult to become a master of alchemy. There may be several low-level elixirs, or more than a dozen elixirs.
That's enough. Even if each elixir needs to be adjusted, it doesn't take a lot of energy.
And those high-level elixirs may require dozens or even hundreds of elixirs to refine, and the workload is staggering. If you adjust this, you have to adjust that, and at the same time it will affect other materials. You adjust
After adjusting the front, the back must be adjusted, but after adjusting the back, the front may need to be adjusted again. This affects the whole body, and all the previous efforts may be wasted due to a very slight error or a mistake in a certain elixir.
.
So even if you succeed in refining it for the first time and master the refining method of a certain pill, you will still fail when refining it again. If you keep the success rate at 20 to 30%, it is already very good. As for
The success rate can be increased to 40 to 50% or higher, unless you are an extremely clever or extremely talented alchemist.
Qingyang was still thinking about the issue of alchemy, so Chang Wubing asked again: "Uncle Qingtian, how can I quickly improve my experience in this area?"
Qingtian Sanren shook his head and said: "It is difficult to improve quickly in this area. There is no shortcut. Either rely on talent. You are naturally sensitive to this aspect. If you are a genius in alchemy, it will be easier to learn. Or you can just rely on talent."
By studying hard and practicing hard, observing more, doing more research, making more contacts, accumulating experience, practice makes perfect, and alchemy will be much easier."
Qingtian Sanren put it simply, but talent is something that can be encountered but cannot be sought. It is estimated that there are not many in Qingfeng Temple. As for practice makes perfect, it is even more difficult. Learning alchemy is very resource-intensive. After becoming a
Before the real alchemy, it was always a loss-making business, requiring countless materials to pile up. Even if one day it becomes an alchemy, it is impossible to go further and try to refine higher-level elixirs without wasting a lot of materials.
These low-level monks here, the little spiritual stones they earn in daily life are not even enough for cultivation. How can they have extra spiritual stones to buy spiritual medicine for them to waste? Only the cultivating sects and large cultivating families can afford it. Qingfeng
The palace is so big, the total number of Qi Refining Alchemists and Foundation Establishing Alchemists in the entire Alchemy Institute does not exceed ten.
At the end of the sentence, Qingtian Sanren looked at Chang Wubing below and said, "Your name is Chang Wubing, right? I have also heard of you. You are very talented in alchemy. You have almost reached the level of a Qi Alchemist by relying entirely on self-study."
How is your level? Are you interested in joining our Alchemy Academy? Among the many departments in Qingfeng Palace, our Alchemy Academy offers the best treatment."
Although the work of the Alchemy Academy is relatively boring, and most of the time has to be spent in alchemy, but as Qingtian Sanren said, the Alchemy Academy is indeed the best-paying department in the entire Qingfeng Palace, with high salary and the ability to study alchemy.
There is no need to spend the spirit stone yourself. Such a good thing is naturally something Chang Wubing can't ask for. He quickly said: "Thank you, uncle, my disciple is willing!"
Qingtian Sanren had already anticipated Chang Wubing's reaction. He nodded to him and said, "Okay, you go back and make preparations, and then go directly to the Alchemy Academy to find me."
After the explanation, Qingtian Sanren left, leaving only a group of monks in the alchemy room, looking at Chang Wubing with envy. The alchemy academy is a good place. If nothing else, at least there will be no shortage of elixirs.
Chang Wuyi will probably have no shortage of elixirs to practice in the future.
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Chang Wubing was obsessed with alchemy and became a quasi-qi alchemist through self-study. His alchemy skills were outstanding among the younger generation of monks, and he was absorbed into alchemy by Qingtian Sanren.
Qingyang is not very envious of the other party. He is still recalling the experience of alchemy taught by Qingtian Sanren. Today's lesson has benefited him a lot. He feels that as long as he can understand these thoroughly, he should learn how to make alchemy.
Not difficult.
The people in the alchemy room gradually dispersed. Lu Dingshan could not sit still for a long time. However, looking at Qingyang, he seemed to have gained a lot, so he did not rush him until everyone was gone. Qingyang then
He stood up and walked towards his residence with Lu Dingshan.
Lu Dingshan couldn't help but ask: "Junior Brother Qingyang, you just picked out a basic book on alchemy in the Gongfa Pavilion. I think you seem to be very interested in alchemy."
Qingyang said: "It's not that I'm interested, but I have to learn a side-by-side skill. Although we have been promoted to the outer courtyard, our annual salary is only four spirit stones and four Qi Gathering Pills, which is not enough at all. I want to try it.
Try to see if you have any talent in alchemy. If you can learn to refine Qi Gathering Pill, wouldn’t it be much easier to practice in the future?”
"So that's it. It seems that I have to learn a side-by-side skill. Otherwise, if I just rely on the things given by the sect, how long and in what month will I be able to practice to the foundation building stage?"
Lu Dingshan sighed with emotion, and then said: "But I don't have your financial resources, and I can't support my self-taught education on my own. I will go back to the outer courtyard to see if there is an alchemy academy, a weapon refining academy, a talisman academy, or
This is an apprenticeship task related to the Array Court. Start by teaching others, and you can always learn something as time goes by."
The two returned to their residence in the outer courtyard while chatting, and then went home separately.
Back at his residence, Qingyang closed the formation outside the yard, and then took out the jade slip of the Five Elements Forging Immortal Technique. When he was in the Kung Fu Pavilion, Qingyang simply read the insights on the technique, because
There were restrictions on the jade slips, and he didn't know the specific contents inside.
This Five Elements Immortal Forging Technique will be Qingyang's main practice in the future. He may have to practice this technique for the rest of his life. Its importance is evident. Now that he returned to his residence, he finally couldn't wait to take it out.
Qingyang carefully separated a ray of spiritual thought and penetrated into the jade slip. The jade slip seemed to be stimulated, and then a massive amount of information rushed into Qingyang's mind. Qingyang's mind felt dizzy. After a long time
He slowly recovered. This was because the amount of information contained in the jade slips was too large, and his soul was relatively fragile, so he couldn't adapt to it for a while.
