Chapter 12: Confidence
Xiao family, in the room.
Xiao Yi sat on the ground, put away the gilding furnace and materials, and prepared the medicine.
After leaving the medicine store, Xiao Yi did not go back to Xiao's house immediately, but found a small medicine store and bought other auxiliary medicines for refining the body quenching pill.
The price of these auxiliary medicinal materials is not expensive, only dozens of taels.
Xiao Yi didn't know why the guy at the herb store gave him a discount, and it was a 30% discount. This price was already equivalent to the herb store not making any money, or even losing a little.
However, no matter if they are out of kindness or malice, they should never set foot in that medicinal herb store again until they have enough self-protection strength.
Xiao Yi has always been cautious.
Closer to home, refining medicine is a very profound knowledge. Even if the materials are ready, the process of refining medicine is the most important thing.
There is a success rate in refining medicine. For example, body tempering pills, some ordinary first-grade refining pharmacists, the success rate of refining is less than 50%.
Even the experienced first-grade pharmacists of the Xiao family have a success rate of only about 80%.
I am afraid that only the first-grade pharmacist Xiao Lihuo, the third-grade pharmacist, can successfully refine the first-grade medicinal herbs 100%.
In the process of refining medicine, there are extremely high requirements for the control of the heat, the order in which the medicinal materials are put in, and the time for the medicine to be put in.
It is very likely that the heat is not right, and the time difference is a few seconds, which will lead to the destruction of the pill.
And the order of delivery is different, it is likely to be refined into other medicinal herbs.
The combination of different sequences of materials will result in many different effects.
Therefore, even if a pharmacist has a pill, he must thoroughly study the pill, so as not to waste materials in the process of refining medicine.
After all, the material is still very expensive.
Xiao Yi sorted out the knowledge of alchemy in his mind. The so-called master of art was bold, and he immediately started alchemy.
A violent flame suddenly appeared in his palm.
Under the power of the fire-controlling beast's spirit, he threw the flame into the gold-plated furnace.
When the gilding furnace was completely heated and the heat was well controlled, he immediately put in the first medicinal herb, Heartless Vine.
Under the burning of the flame, the heartless vine gradually melted and turned into a green liquid.
Then there are the octopus.
......
Step by step, input materials again and again, Xiao Yi cautiously.
About half an hour later, Xiao Yi withdrew the flame.
At this time, there was a seductive and tangy fragrance from the gilded furnace, which made people feel refreshed.
Opening the furnace, four perfect quenching pills appeared in the eyes.
One piece of material can probably refine four body quenching pills.
"It was a success once." Xiao Yi was overjoyed.
He succeeded in refining medicine for the first time, even Xiao Lihuo, who was known as the genius pharmacist of the Xiao family back then, could not do it.
The reason why Xiao Yi was able to do it was entirely because of the Bingluan Sword.
To be a pharmacist, you need to accumulate experience time and time again, and try and fail again and again, and in the end, you can exchange for mastery, such as arm guidance, and successful refining.
But Xiao Yi was different, Bing Luan Jian completely instilled the knowledge of medicine refining in this world into his mind like a daigo, and made his medicine refining skills to be as perfect as a textbook.
Looking at the four perfect body quenching pills, Xiao Yi couldn't help feeling that the alchemists in this world are simply machines that can print money.
A material, the price is only dozens of taels. The body quenching pills that can be refined can be sold for fifty taels for one, and two hundred taels for four, which is a full profit.
Two hundred taels, it doesn't seem like much, but this is enough for ordinary people's families for a few years.
Moreover, this is only the lowest tier one medicine pill. So how high should the price of the second-grade, third-grade, and even higher-grade medicinal herbs be.
Xiao Yi packed the four body quenching pills, but did not take them.
Although martial artists taking medicinal pills can improve their cultivation speed and cultivation level,
But there are limits.
After all, in addition to the medicinal power, there are a lot of impurities in the body quenching pill.
These impurities will block the dantian. After that, taking more body quenching pills will not have any effect.
The reason why the Xiao family only provides three body quenching pills a month to the family's children is because, for ordinary orange-level martial arts, taking three a month is already the limit.
The martial artist must completely expel these impurities before continuing to take the Body Tempering Pill.
As for Xiao Yi, the speed at which his Ice Luan Sword Martial Soul absorbed the medicinal power was too fast, and the impurities of the Body Tempering Pill had not even completely blocked his dantian, and the medicinal power had been completely absorbed and transformed into True Qi.
This allowed him to absorb dozens of Body Tempering Pills at one time in a short period of time.
Of course, those impurities are also present in his body now. Before expelling those impurities, it would not help him to take the Body Tempering Pill.
Since the Body Tempering Pill is useless for the time being, he will naturally not refine it again, but choose to refine the Nine-turn Body Refining Pill.
According to the information in his mind, the Jiuzhuan Body Refining Pill is a medicinal pill derived from and created by the Bing Luan Sword, and its efficacy far exceeds that of the Body Tempering Pill. This elixir consists entirely of pure medicinal power, without impurities.
The martial artist can take it without restriction.
The refining of the Body Tempering Pill just now was only used to practice hands, but the main purpose of refining the Nine-turn Body Refining Pill is now.
Refining the nine-turn body-refining pill also requires the use of heartless vines and other medicinal materials, but only with more spiritual ginseng.
Of course, the order in which the medicinal materials are put in and the time they are put in are different.
Xiao Yi didn't waste any time and immediately started refining the medicine.
.....
Again and again, the medicinal materials are put in pieces, every minute and every second with care.
Half an hour later, four white and flawless medicinal pills appeared in the gilding furnace.
If the incense of the Body Tempering Pill is refreshing, then the incense of the Nine-Turn Body Refining Pill is very smooth.
Countless pores in the body seemed to open in an instant, greedily absorbing these aromas.
Every time I smell the scent, my body becomes full of energy. The physical strength consumed when refining the medicinal herbs just now was completely replenished; the fatigue of the body dissipated in an instant.
Even if he didn't swallow it, Xiao Yi knew that the effects of these four nine-turn body refining pills were absolutely extraordinary.
Flames erupted from his palm again, and Xiao Yi started refining medicine again.
......
The moon and stars were thin, and when night fell, Xiao Yi finished refining the medicine.
Almost all the materials were used up, and a total of twenty nine-turn body refining pills were refined.
There were still some materials left, so Xiao Yi made some strengthening pills and Qi nourishing pills.
"It's been a hard day, it's time to taste the fruits of labor." Xiao Yi smiled with satisfaction, feeling an inexplicable sense of joy and accomplishment.
With a casual throw, a precious nine-turn body-refining pill was thrown into the mouth, and instantly transformed into pure medicinal power and entered the body.
There are no impurities in the medicinal power, and it is like a clear stream that goes straight to Dantian.
After being absorbed by the dantian, it is transformed into infuriating energy.
The more and more infuriating infuriating, it also means that one's own cultivation is getting higher and higher.
At the same time, the body was obviously tempered to be stronger, at least much stronger than the weak body of Xiao Yi in the past.
If you use Xingyiwujue now, you will never be unable to support your body again.
In terms of potency and medicinal power, the Nine Revolutions Body Refining Pill is several times stronger than the Body Tempering Pill.
Without any hesitation, Xiao Yi immediately swallowed the remaining 19 nine-turn body refining pills one by one.
A grain of medicinal herbs entered the abdomen, and the pure medicinal power was absorbed, and the dantian gradually expanded, becoming more and more solid, and the body became stronger and stronger.
When the fifteenth nine-turn body refining pill was swallowed, Xiao Yi's cultivation completely broke through to the fifth level of the mortal realm.
The remaining four grains only improved his cultivation by a few points, but failed to allow him to break through.
It is worth mentioning that the cultivation of a martial artist really becomes more difficult as it progresses to the later stage.
With the effect of the nine-turn body refining pill, Xiao Yi used 15 pills to go from the fourth level of the mortal realm to the fifth level of the mortal realm.
In addition, the body quenching pill has impurities, so it cannot be taken continuously. It is no wonder that many of the children of the Xiao family are stuck in the fourth level of the mortal realm and have never been able to break through.
There are less than twenty children of the Xiao family above the fifth level of the mortal realm, and less than ten children above the sixth level.
"Crack, click, click." Xiao Yi squeezed his fist and made a crackling sound.
Obviously, I can feel that at this moment, my body has explosive power.
"Although it's only at the fifth level of the mortal realm, with my five skills in form and meaning, it's enough to easily handle the clan competition in half a month." Xiao Yi smiled. Since he came to this world, it was the first time that he could relax a little.
"I will continue to practice more diligently in the past two weeks. I hope I can break through to the sixth level of the mortal realm in half a month. At that time, I will have the confidence to settle accounts with Xiao Ruohan." Xiao Yi's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
....
"Um..." Suddenly, there was a faint murmur from the bed next to him.
Yiyi, who had been in a coma for a day and a night, finally woke up.
"Young Master." Yiyi realized that she was sleeping on Xiao Yi's bed, feeling a little cramped and uneasy, struggling with her weak body and planning to get up.
"Lie down." Xiao Yi pressed her back on the bed.
"Master, Yiyi is a servant and will soil your bed." Yiyi's face was full of unease.
"I'll let you sleep as long as you sleep. I made the floor last night, and it's not bad for this night." Xiao Yi said lightly.
"Ah, is it night? How long have I slept?"
"It's been a day and a night."
"One day and one night?" Yiyi's eyes widened, she was very surprised, and said, "Aren't you starving, young master? I'll go and prepare dinner for you immediately."
Yiyi said and got ready immediately.
"No, I've eaten it." Xiao Yi pressed Yiyi back to the bed.
"Have you eaten? Master, do you know how to cook? Did the third elder prepare it for you?" Yiyi was surprised at first, and then showed a stunned expression.
In her heart, Young Master Xiao Yi is almost a guy with no arms or legs. Don't talk about taking care of yourself, if she doesn't cook for him, he might starve to death.
Seeing Yiyi's expression, Xiao Yi roughly guessed what she was thinking, and her head was suddenly covered with black lines. After pressing her down and covering her with the quilt, he scolded, "Shut up, close your eyes, and sleep."
