Zhou Chen sat on Xiao Hei, left the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, and embarked on the road back to Qingyang City.
Qingyang City is thousands of miles away from Tianyuan Sect. If you take the Yunzhou boat, it will take ten days, and the Yunzhou boat must go to Baishui City. Even if Xiao Hei runs very fast, it will take at least five days to reach Baishui City.
On the way, we also passed Huaiyang City, a secondary city in the Shenyun Empire.
Zhou Chen thought about it and planned to go to Huaiyang City first. He needed to prepare some things and opened Elder Lin's ring. The ring was burnt black, but fortunately it was not damaged.
"This old turtle is quite rich. He has more than three thousand low-grade spiritual stones. This should be his life savings." Zhou Chen muttered.
In Elder Lin's Najie, there are more than 3,000 low-grade spiritual stones, a copy of the Xuan-level high-grade palm technique "Heaven-turning Hand", and some odds and ends, all of which are not very valuable.
…
Huaiyang City is a larger town near Tianyuan Sect. There are no first-rate forces. There are only some second-rate forces and casual cultivators. The only one that can be considered a first-rate force is Tianbao Pavilion. Of course, Tianbao Pavilion is spread all over the Qingyun Empire. This is just a branch.
Pavilion, it is said that Tianbao Pavilion's power spreads throughout the entire Qingxuan Continent. In addition to the four major border areas of Qingxuan Continent, there are also institutions in the central continent. It is a veritable power. However, Tianbao Pavilion is mainly engaged in business and generally does not participate in forces.
Fighting, but no one dares to underestimate the strength behind it.
Huaiyang City is very prosperous, with numerous inns and restaurants, shops, elixir stores, weapons shops, and elixir shops selling all kinds of things. There are also many casual cultivators setting up stalls on the street to sell some elixirs obtained from their adventures.
Weapons, martial arts secrets, etc.
As long as you have enough spirit stones, you can basically buy what you want here. If you want to get it right in one step, of course, you should give priority to Tianbao Pavilion. Don’t look at Zhou Chen’s current collection of thousands of low-grade spirit stones, but you can’t buy these at all.
How many things.
"Oh, I'm helpless. I'm too poor. I want to go robbing."
Zhou Chen was walking on the bustling street in the city. Xiao Hei had already been put into the Hunyuan Pearl by him. He was muttering in his heart that although he thought so, he would not really do it. He planned to make alchemy and earn some spiritual stones through it. Lie Tianzun said
Alchemy is very profitable, and an alchemist will never worry about spiritual stones.
Zhou Chen entered a clothing store and spent a hundred spirit stones to choose a set of black martial robes, replacing the Tianyuan Sect's martial robes, and also prepared ten sets of the same style of martial robes.
Zhou Chen walked to a huge and gorgeous attic. The attic was nine stories high. Just looking at it gave people a strong sense of richness.
Walking into the first floor of the attic, a young woman in Tsing Yi came over. The woman was dressed in Tsing Yi with a graceful posture. The Tsing Yi was engraved with the special pattern of Tianbao Pavilion. She looked at Zhou Chen and showed a warm smile.
"Excuse me, sir, what do you need? Do you want to sell something or go shopping?"
These waitresses meet all kinds of people every day, and some big clients are also very low-key, so no matter you look noble or not, they will not show any indifference at least on the surface.
"I want to sell things as well as shop." Zhou Chen said unhurriedly.
"Master, please come here." The woman stretched out her hand to make an invitation and brought Zhou Chen to a square table.
"I wonder what the young master wants to sell?" the woman asked.
Zhou Chen placed all the unused secrets and weapons compiled in Najie on the table.
"Do you want to collect these?" Zhou Chen asked.
"Sir, wait a moment." The woman checked the secret books and weapons on the table and said, "These weapons and martial arts can be exchanged for six thousand low-grade spiritual stones."
"Okay, I would like to ask which is the best elixir you sell here?" Zhou Chen asked.
"The biggest sales in the market are of course the Spirit Gathering Pill and the Foundation Establishment Pill. The Spirit Gathering Pill is exclusively for Xiantian Realm monks to practice, and the Foundation Establishment Pill is exclusively for Foundation Establishment Realm monks. Both pills are third-grade pills. These two realms
The demand is the largest, the market price of a Spirit Gathering Pill is 300 low-grade spirit stones, and a Foundation Establishment Pill is 500 low-grade spirit stones." The woman replied.
Zhou Chen nodded after listening and recalled Lie Tianzun's formulas for the Spirit Gathering Pill and the Foundation Establishment Pill in his mind. Then he picked up the pen and paper next to him, wrote down some names of the elixirs, and handed them to the woman.
"See how many elixirs you can get with what you just gave me. In addition, I need to purchase a high-level pill furnace at the Xuan level."
The woman took the paper, looked at the name of the elixir on the paper, and looked at Zhou Chen in surprise. Could this be an alchemist? How old is he?
"Not counting the alchemy furnace, it can be exchanged for thirty pairs of elixirs. An upper-level elixir furnace at the Xuan level requires five thousand lower-level spiritual stones."
It was so expensive that Zhou Chen felt a pain in his body.
The alchemy furnace must be purchased, and it must be at least the Xuan level or above. This is what Lie Tianzun ordered him to do.
Zhou Chen gritted his teeth and took out five thousand spirit stones, but now he only had about a thousand spirit stones left in his ring.
"Let's replace everything else with elixirs." Zhou Chen asked in pain.
"Sir, wait a moment, I will help you prepare." The woman nodded, took away the things on the table, and walked behind the curtain.
After less than half a stick of incense, Zhou Chen got the elixir and the elixir furnace, put them directly into the Najie, and then left Tianbao Pavilion.
Zhou Chen found an inn in the city, closed the door, and prepared to start the first real alchemy in his life.
"Try if you can make an elixir in the Hunyuan Pearl." Lie Tianzun's voice sounded in my ears.
"Teacher, you are really talented. You can think of such constructive ideas, but aren't you afraid that I will blow up the furnace and blow you up?" Zhou Chen said with a bad smile.
"If it explodes, we will die together. You can see for yourself." Lie Tianzun said angrily.
Zhou Chen smiled and felt very happy. Zhou Chen's mind entered the Hunyuan Pearl and placed the alchemy furnace in front. The elixirs were arranged in an orderly manner according to the ratio requirements. He closed his eyes and recalled the alchemy in his mind.
A step of.
Zhou Chen slowly opened his eyes. With a thought, a wisp of black flame floated in his hand. With a flick of his finger, the black flame disappeared into the alchemy furnace. Zhou Chen blessed the black flame to increase the temperature of the alchemy furnace. Burning the alchemy furnace was the preparation for alchemy.
The alchemy furnace needs to be heated to the necessary temperature, and at the same time, the impurities in the alchemy furnace need to be removed. Xiao Hei is watching very excitedly, not knowing whether he is excited about Hei Yan or interested in alchemy.
The first step is to refine and remove impurities.
At this time, some of the black impurities in the elixir furnace were burned away by the black flames. Zhou Chen put the first set of elixir into the elixir furnace and began to guide the black flames to roast the elixir.
After half a stick of incense, the elixir has been completely refined. There are several brightly colored liquids suspended in the elixir furnace. This is the essence of the elixir. This step is very critical. The higher the purity, the better the quality of the elixir.
The second step is integration.
The essence of all the elixirs must be fused one by one in the order of the main and auxiliary materials. The order and process must be carried out strictly according to the formula. For a novice like Zhou Chen who has just started to make alchemy, there is no way to take advantage of it and can only do it bit by bit. Zhou Chen
Chen strictly followed Lie Tianzun's instructions for the fusion, and the whole process went very smoothly. After half a stick of incense, the fusion was completed, and all the elixir liquids were merged into a ball, emitting a dazzling brilliance.
The third step is to condense the elixir.
This is the last step in alchemy, and it is also the most critical step. It requires precise control of the intensity of one's own spiritual power and the temperature of the elixir fire. If the control is not good, the result will be failure of the elixir condensation or explosion of the furnace.
Zhou Chen took a deep breath, raised his hands, released his spiritual power, controlled the black flames to slowly heat up, and concentrated on monitoring the changes in the alchemy furnace. The elixir liquid in the alchemy furnace slowly shrank, becoming more and more
The more solid it is.
Ding!
A clear sound came from the alchemy furnace, indicating that the elixir condensation was completed.
Zhou Chen took a deep breath, retracted the black flames, and opened the top of the furnace. Three foundation-building pills were quietly suspended in the pill furnace, slowly rotating, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance.
Zhou Chen looked at the elixirs in the elixir furnace with a smile on his face. He never expected that his first elixir refining would be successful.
"Performing well, the first time I tried to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill was a success." Lie Tianzun's ethereal figure floated over, nodded with satisfaction, and was ready to check the pill.
"What? What is going on?" Lie Tianzun suddenly screamed, with an incredible expression on his face.
"Teacher, what's wrong? Did I fail?" Zhou Chen asked in surprise.
"Xuanwen! This is the Xuanwen Foundation Building Pill. This is impossible." Lie Tianzun opened his mouth wider and wider, and his expression became more and more exciting.
"Teacher, what are dazzling lines?" Zhou Chen asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Lie Tianzun took a deep breath to calm down slowly. He looked at Zhou Chen without saying a word. After a long time, he calmed down and pointed at a light white line on the elixir.
"This light white pattern is called a dazzling pattern. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for refined pills to have such dazzling patterns. Unless the entire refining process reaches an extremely perfect level, there is a probability that dazzling patterns will appear, and this probability
It's very low. This kind of elixir with dazzling patterns is 50% more powerful than ordinary elixirs. It will cause an uproar when it is put on the market." Lietian Zun explained solemnly.
"Am I a genius in alchemy? Haha!" Zhou Chen laughed wildly with pride.
"If this furnace of dazzling grain elixirs is entirely related to your own talent, then you are not a genius in alchemy. You are a great pervert in alchemy. You made a furnace of dazzling grain elixirs the first time you made alchemy."
Zhou Chen has a black line on his face, he is a pervert, so why should he add a big one in front?
"But I believe there are other reasons. I suspect that it is related to the chaos energy in the Hunyuan Pearl. During the process of refining the elixir, some chaos energy was accidentally mixed in, causing the quality of the elixir to change." Lie Tianzun said.
He stroked his white beard and said.
"To verify whether this conclusion is correct, you can try re-refining it outside and you will know." Lie Tianzun said again.
"Okay, in order to prove that I am a genius and not a pervert, I will go out and make another furnace." Zhou Chen said with an aggrieved look.
With his first experience in refining alchemy, Zhou Chen was faster this time, and it only took him a stick of incense to refine a furnace of foundation-building elixirs.
"Sure enough, there are no dazzling patterns on the Foundation Establishment Pill this time. It seems that the Chaos Qi has a major impact on the refining of the pill. But your boy is indeed a wizard in the way of alchemy. The stability of the pill is very high, and the refining of the pill is very stable.
The quality of the production is also very good." Lie Tianzun nodded and said with satisfaction.
"Teacher, I discovered a problem. When I refine elixirs in the Hunyuan Pearl, my mental energy is almost not consumed, and the refining process is easier. However, when I refine elixirs outside, I consume a lot of mental energy."
"The Hunyuan Bead has many functions that we have not yet developed. Based on my many years of experience in it, my soul state is also closely related to the state of the Chaos Bead. It can be speculated that the Hunyuan Bead can greatly increase mental power, which is very useful for your alchemy.
, weapon refining and talisman seal writing are of great benefit, after all, these require spiritual blessing, including the practice and understanding of martial arts secrets."
Zhou Chen was very excited. Ever since he met Hunyuanzhu, his life seemed to have opened up a new world.
"Keep practicing. Don't refine all the elixirs with dazzling patterns. It would be too scary to take out. After refining one batch of dazzling elixirs, make two batches of ordinary ones."
Zhou Chen still has fifteen sets of Spirit Gathering Pills and thirteen sets of Foundation Building Pills. It is not a problem to refine them all today. This third-grade elixir is very simple for him.
