Chapter 275 Alchemy Success

At this point, Qingyang could also feel that his alchemy skills had reached a limit, and it seemed that he was only one step away from the final step. It was like the bottleneck encountered when improving cultivation. If you get through it, you will have a bright future, but if you can't get through it, you will be stuck here forever.

At this time, Qingyang was not in a hurry. He put everything aside temporarily, opened the door of the alchemy room, and came to the pond in the yard. While recovering his mind, he quietly adjusted his mood. When he was completely calm, he came back to the alchemy room.

Sitting by the alchemy furnace again, Qingyang was calm and relaxed, and seemed to have forgotten everything just now. If there were outsiders here at this time, they would definitely be surprised to find that after such a period of time, Qingyang's temperament was completely different from before. Before, he could still see a bit of rawness, but now he has a bit more of the style of an alchemy master.

After a long silence, Qingyang re-ignited the spiritual material to bake the furnace. When the temperature reached the predetermined temperature, he took out a medicinal material from the side, cleaned it, and threw it into the furnace. Then, without looking at the reaction in the furnace, he took out the bright yellow powder and pinched off some powder with his hands.

The movements were still the same as before, the steps were still the same, the furnace was still the same, and the medicinal materials were no different from before. But if you look closely, it is very different from before. There seems to be a little more roundness, a little smoothness, a little proficiency, and a little inexplicable thing in it.

Everything went smoothly, and there were no mistakes in the middle. Unknowingly, half an hour passed, and the pill that Qingyang was refining also reached the most critical moment. I saw his hands flying up and down constantly, sometimes pinching the formula, sometimes luck, sometimes bending his fingers slightly, and sometimes drawing in the air. The movements were so fast that only shadows could be seen in the sky.

After all the actions were completed, Qingyang's head was already covered with sweat. Now Qingyang is already a Qi Refining cultivator, and his abilities in all aspects have been greatly improved, which is incomparable to the past. However, this series of actions still made him sweat all over and exhausted physically and mentally, which shows how difficult it is for a beginner to refine pills.

All the steps were completed, and this time was smoother than any previous time, but Qingyang did not relax, but stared at the pill furnace with trepidation, fearing that there would be unpredictable consequences. Being able to achieve this step now is already an extraordinary performance for Qingyang. If it is not successful this time, I don't know when the next time will be.

At this time, the pill furnace in front suddenly trembled slightly, and then with a humming sound, a trace of the strange fragrance of the pill came out of the pill furnace.

Success, really success, Qingyang no longer hesitated, stretched out his hand to open the lid of the pill furnace, and saw that at the bottom of the pill furnace, there was a peanut-sized brown pill, which was no different from the Qi-nourishing Pill that Qingyang took when he was in the Kaimai realm.

Qingyang suppressed his excitement, carefully took the pill in his hand and observed it carefully. He found that this pill was slightly different from the common pills on the market. The color was darker, the medicinal power was slightly lacking, and the quality was generally poor.

This pill can only be considered a success, and it cannot be compared with the real Qi-nourishing Pill. However, with this breakthrough from nothing to something, how far will the second success be? As long as he works hard, he will be able to refine a real Qi-nourishing Pill sooner or later.

Not discouraged by failure and not arrogant by victory, Qingyang did not get carried away by his first success. He sat there quietly, went through the process of refining the pill in detail in his mind again, and analyzed the reasons for this success. If you fail, you must summarize the experience and lessons, and strive not to make the same mistake again next time. If you succeed, you must also summarize the successful experience and strive for more success in the future.

After summarizing the experience, Qingyang rested for a while and then re-invested in the refining of the pill. Qingyang stared at the pill furnace with his eyes, his hands moving constantly, processing materials, adding spiritual materials, controlling the temperature, and taking care of the pill furnace, and he was very busy.

For alchemists with superb alchemy skills, it is not necessary to divide the materials so finely like Qingyang, and only refine one pill at a time, and cut a medicinal material into several parts for use. They can prepare three, five, or even ten parts of materials at a time, and put them into the alchemy furnace for batch refining at the same time.

However, the energy spent on refining several pills at a time, as well as the consumption of true qi and divine thoughts, are also multiplied. If the cultivation is too low, there is no superb alchemy, or there is no full confidence in the refining of that kind of pill, generally no one dares to try it casually, because a failure will waste several parts of materials, and the loss is too great.

Qingyang is a beginner and his strength is not high, so he will divide the materials into parts and try them one by one, refining one pill at a time. Only when the number of refining times is increased can it be used to maximize Qingyang's experience in alchemy.

With the first success, the rest of the things will be easy. After refining the Yangqi Pill again, he only failed a dozen times before he succeeded for the second time. The quality of the Qi-nourishing Pills refined this time was almost the same as those sold on the market. Except for a slight lack of success rate, Qingyang had basically mastered the art of alchemy.

In the following month, Qingyang did not leave the alchemy room. When he had used up all the materials for the Qi-nourishing Pills, his success rate in refining the Qi-nourishing Pills had reached about 20%.

This success rate is still far behind that of a real alchemist, but for a novice like him who has just come into contact with alchemy, it is already very remarkable. You know, he has spent a total of five months from learning alchemy to now.

Alchemy is difficult to learn. Not only does it require talent, but it also requires a lot of materials for them to practice. However, cultivating immortals is difficult. For most cultivators, the little resources they get are not enough for their own cultivation. How can they have extra financial resources to waste? Therefore, in the outside world, self-taught alchemists are rare, and only some major forces can cultivate high-level alchemists.

If the materials used by Qingyang in the past month were given to a real alchemist, at least 200 nourishing qi pills could be refined. However, Qingyang wasted so much that he only refined dozens of nourishing qi pills in the end. This is because the number of times he refined in the later period increased, and the success rate of the pills was greatly improved. Qingyang only learned how to refine the inferior Qi-nourishing Pill, and he wasted materials worth more than a dozen spirit stones. If he learns the more advanced Qi-gathering Pills, the value of the wasted materials will increase several times or even dozens of times. By then, which cultivator can afford it?
