Chapter 193 The Fifth Level Is Ready, Start the Alchemy Furnace!
"I still have fifty-five thousand taels of silver in cash, which I can use to buy Dragon Vein Pills and continue to improve my cultivation level."
After the excitement, Lin Bei calmed down and continued to think about his training plan.
There are two focuses in the current cultivation direction, one is one's own cultivation realm, and the other is alchemy.
The former is the fundamental way and the most important thing at all times!
But if you want to improve your cultivation level, you need a lot of Dragon Vein Pills, otherwise the progress will slow down.
Therefore, alchemy is also essential.
"The value of Dragon Vein Pill ranges from 800 to 1,000, depending on the quality of the pill."
"The ones with excellent quality are usually higher than nine hundred taels, and occasionally can reach a thousand taels."
"If you want to buy elixirs, buy the best ones, otherwise the efficacy will weaken and it will not be cost-effective. Based on my cooperative relationship with Xuanyue Sect, a high-quality Dragon Vein Pill that costs one thousand taels of silver can be purchased for eight hundred taels. "
"Fifty-five thousand taels of silver, if all used to purchase Dragon Vein Pills, can buy 68 Dragon Vein Pills. Adding the remaining nine, there are a total of seventy-seven Dragon Vein Pills."
"But I only need thirty-two Dragon Vein Pills to advance to the fifth level of Dragon Vein. To be on the safe side, I will buy thirty-five Dragon Vein Pills directly and keep the remaining money just in case."
"Thirty-five Dragon Vein Pills. In addition to the nine pills in my pocket, I still need to buy twenty-six pills. One pill costs eight hundred, so a total of twenty-eight hundred pills are needed."
Lin Bei got up directly and asked Luo Yiqing to purchase the Dragon Vein Pill.
Luo Yiqing was very generous. With a wave of her hand, she took him to Xinyue Baobao Pavilion to buy.
The whole process was quick and easy, and Lin Bei suddenly had twenty-six Dragon Vein Pills on his body.
"I now have thirty-five Dragon Vein Pills and more than thirty-four thousand taels of silver..."
In addition to these, Lin Bei also has an alchemy secret book, an alchemy furnace, and ten ingredients for the Dragon Vein Pill.
Luo Yiqing and Jiang Qingyue were quite optimistic about Lin Bei's desire to make alchemy, but they were noncommittal about his desire to become an alchemist in a short time. They shook their heads and smiled inwardly, thinking it was impossible.
Lin Bei has superb medical skills and good cultivation. If he can survive for two or three years, he still has great hope of becoming an alchemist.
But it is not realistic to want to become an alchemist in just a few months.
Lin Bei shrugged, didn't say much, locked himself in the room alone, and started his own alchemy journey.
First, the medicinal materials are divided into categories, and then various treatments are carried out according to the medicinal properties, or grinded into powder, dried and sliced, or boiled into juice...
The process is extremely complicated, and each medicinal material needs to be processed in various ways according to its medicinal properties, which extremely tests the alchemist's medical skills.
At least you have to have a very good understanding of the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials, otherwise you will definitely make mistakes.
Lin Bei's medical skills are pretty good now, and he didn't make any mistakes despite being careful.
A portion of the medicinal materials for Dragon Vein Pill was quickly processed.
Lin Bei took a deep breath and started refining the alchemy, lighting the alchemy furnace with special charcoal fire.
call!
The charcoal fire was ignited, and the red flames danced fiercely, licking the base of the alchemy furnace, and the hot energy spread into the furnace instantly.
Then, Lin Bei widened his eyes, patiently observed the heat, and put in the medicinal materials one by one while holding on to the time.
"There should be nothing wrong..."
Lin Bei wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt his eyes were a little sore. This was the result of being too serious.
"No matter what, control the fire first!"
Lin Bei took another deep breath, with a focused look on his face, concentrating on his energy, summoning up the power of Qi and blood, slowly leaving the body, and began to control fire and refine elixirs.
After the power of qi and blood leaves the body, it begins to flow away violently, making it extremely difficult to control and quite consuming.
The fire control part of alchemy also has very strict requirements on the power of qi and blood.
It didn't take long for Lin Bei to feel that most of the power of Qi and blood had been lost, and the control of the elixir fire was not satisfactory. It rose and died, sometimes it was too violent, and sometimes it had insufficient firepower.
"This alchemy is really difficult!"
Beads of sweat broke out on Lin Bei's forehead. He looked a little tired, and the energy and blood in his body had almost reached its bottom.
Fortunately, it didn't last too long, and a burst of white gas emerged from the cavity of the alchemy furnace, mixed with the smell of medicinal materials.
"open!"
Lin Bei slapped his palm on the alchemy furnace, followed by a clang sound.
Among the four pill-exiting mouths, a jet-black round ball rolled down from one of them.
"this……"
Lin Bei's mouth twitched, looking at the black and smoky round ball, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Is this horse riding elixir a pill?"
Lin Bei picked it up and looked at it for a moment, only to see that the ball was uneven and a little burnt. It was dark in color with a hint of burnt yellow. It looked ugly and had no sense of roundness.
"Failed!"
"But it's normal. After all, it's my first time to make an elixir. It's pretty good to be able to produce a round ball that initially has the shape of an elixir."
Although the first alchemy failed, Lin Bei was not discouraged.
Many apprentices who try to make alchemy for the first time are stuck for a long time even in processing the medicinal materials, making many mistakes, let alone completing the elixir.
Lin Bei didn't know if he made any mistakes in handling the medicinal materials, but he could at least complete it in one go. Even if he made a mistake, it would definitely be an extremely small mistake.
"You only need to review the step of handling the medicinal materials a few times, and there will generally be no problems. It's just the fire control part. I'm afraid it will take a long time to become fully proficient."
Lin Bei began to review his gains and losses.
There is no doubt that the key lies in the process of controlling fire and refining elixir.
This step, not to mention novice apprentices, even many alchemists often fail.
"However, don't panic at all. The progress bar has been displayed. You just need to continue to master it."
Lin Bei regained his confidence.
In his mind, the properties panel had been updated.
There is an additional alchemy skill in the skill options.
[Alchemy (10% of the first glimpse of the first level)]
Although it failed, I finally made a briquette and got started successfully.
Opening the door, Lin Bei stretched out and looked at the rising sun in the sky, only to realize that a day had passed.
"First open the door and sit for a consultation for half a day, then take a long sleep to replenish your energy and restore your energy and blood, and then make the second attempt at alchemy."
Lin Bei opened the clinic again while many patients were impatient.
After a morning of medical consultation, Lin Bei went directly back to his house, closed the door and slept for half a day to recharge his batteries.
Then, he started refining pills again.
The materials of Dragon Vein Pill are expensive, and it takes one thousand taels of silver to get one.
If not for the purpose of saving elixir materials, Lin Bei would have planned to use Lingshen Gong and Qi and Blood Powder to quickly restore the power of Qi, blood and energy.
Anyway, as long as he continues to become proficient, the progress bar will slowly advance. With superb medical skills as a foundation, the process of becoming an alchemist will be an extremely terrifying leap forward.
However, in this case, waste is inevitable.
Unfortunately, alchemy materials are expensive!
Lin Bei could only try his best to ensure his condition, so as to save materials to the maximum extent.
Lin Bei became more proficient in making alchemy for the second time, but unfortunately it still failed!
