Chapter 150: Bailu Dan Minor Success, Gongsun Zhi
Cao Rui practiced hard for eleven hours every day in the Qinglingfang City Training Tower.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.
On this day, the sun was shining brightly in Qinglingfang City, and the breeze was blowing gently.
Cao Rui sat quietly in the alchemy room on the seventh floor of the training tower.
In his mind, the experience beads of Yimu True Fire Alchemy and Bailu Dan were constantly flashing purple light, as if they were two bright purple stars.
After more than a month of hard work, these two experience beads finally reached 100% saturation.
Cao Rui's heart moved, and he clicked the two experience beads at the same time without hesitation.
In an instant, a powerful torrent of energy gushed out of the two experience beads, like a surging purple torrent, directly rushing into the depths of Cao Rui's consciousness.
Clicking the two experience beads at the same time, at this moment, Cao Rui felt that his soul seemed to be shaken by a strong impact, and the whole person fell into a state of extreme excitement.
His consciousness began to quickly integrate these experiences and knowledge, and gradually mastered the essence of the second-level alchemy and Bailu Dan.
After a period of digestion and absorption, Cao Rui finally opened his eyes.
He had successfully upgraded the second-level alchemy and Bailu Dan to the minor success level at the same time.
The minor success Bailu Dan itself has a 30% success rate.
In addition, the minor success of the second-level alchemy gives an additional half-percent success rate, and the third-level alchemy furnace gives an additional 10% to 20% success rate.
Cao Rui's success rate in refining Bailu Dan can reach 50%.
This success rate is already not low.
Zhao Fan, the foundation-building alchemist at Danlingbao Pavilion, has a success rate of about 50% to 60% in refining Bailu Dan.
This is because his Zhao family is a family of alchemy, and Danlingbao Pavilion also has sufficient spiritual medicine materials for him to try his hand, which can achieve this achievement.
Cao Rui was able to reach this level in less than two months. If Zhao Fan heard about it, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
At this time, Cao Rui's 700 Bailu Dan materials had consumed 280 Bailu Dan spiritual medicine materials.
Among these consumed spiritual medicine materials, the first 70 portions of Bailu Dan spiritual medicine materials were all failed alchemy
After getting started with Bailu Dan, the success rate of refining Bailu Dan itself is just over 10%. With the bonus of the third-level alchemy furnace and the second-level alchemy technique, the success rate is about 30%. Cao Rui can only achieve an average of 60% of the Bailu Dan spiritual medicine.
In other words, among the 280 portions of Bailu Dan spiritual medicine consumed, only 210 portions actually have a 30% yield rate.
This is consistent with the fact that Cao Rui refined more than 370 pills this time.
After taking all 370 Bailu Dan, he still couldn't break through the second level of the foundation-building period. Cao Rui didn't take these Bailu Dan for the time being. When he accumulated 800, he relied on the experience beads to break through to the second level of the foundation-building period in one go.
After breaking through to the second level of the foundation-building period, the ability of this method to increase spiritual consciousness can be seen preliminarily.
The growth of spiritual consciousness is also very helpful for engraving array runes, and the speed of engraving the Lingyin jade pendant will inevitably increase again.
In the past month, Cao Rui spent six hours every day engraving the Lingyin jade pendant.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, Cao Rui's time to engrave a Lingyin jade pendant gradually shortened to about eight minutes.
In six hours a day, he can engrave 90 Lingyin jade pendants.
But this is almost the limit.
Unless the spiritual consciousness grows, it is difficult to increase the engraving speed.
In the past month, Cao Rui engraved more than 3,000 Lingyin jade pendants.
Although the output is not bad, it has not even met the first batch of more than 5,000 Lingyin jade pendants pre-sold.
As more and more monks hold Lingyin jade pendants.
The response to Lingyin jade pendants is getting bigger and bigger. Now almost everyone in the vicinity of Qinglingfang City knows about the existence of Lingyin jade pendants. As long as the monks who have lived near Qinglingfang City for a long time have placed a pre-order order.
As for those outside Qingling Market, there were also cultivators who had heard about it.
However, the signal tower has not been set up yet, and the effective range of the Lingyin Jade Pendant is only within a radius of 5,000 miles from Qingling Market. Therefore, most cultivators outside the market are just watching to see if Cao Rui can really expand the communication range of the Lingyin Jade Pendant.
Of course, there are also mortal enemies like Yunshui Sect who are not optimistic about Cao Rui's Lingyin Jade Pendant.
A foundation-building period cultivator from Yunshui Sect once said that this Lingyin Jade Pendant is just for Qingling Market to entertain itself. Outside the market, it is completely waste. If the Lingyin Jade Pendant can eventually spread its communication capabilities throughout the southwest of Yunzhou as advertised, he would not believe it even if he ate shit.
This cultivator from Yunshui Sect naturally had a reason to say so.
Because he is the owner of Yinshui Xiuxian Market, a Xiuxian Market jointly established by Yunshui Sect and Miaoyin Temple.
His name is Gongsun Zhi, and he is also a refiner who is proficient in refining.
Previously, the various means used by Yinshui Xiuxian Market and Qingling Market to compete for popularity were mostly from this person.
Recently, as the news of the Lingyin Jade Pendant spread, the popularity that Yinshui Xiuxian Market had finally gathered began to gradually disappear.
For independent cultivators, they can go wherever it is suitable for living, and Gongsun Zhi cannot force them to stay.
The appearance of the Lingyin Jade Pendant has greatly enhanced the safety of independent cultivators.
At least around Qingling Market, they can use the Lingyin Jade Pendant to ask for help at any time when they encounter danger. This alone has attracted many independent cultivators to choose to live in Qingling Market.
Therefore, Gongsun Zhi now regards Cao Rui and Qingling Market as a thorn in his side.
Privately, Gongsun Zhi secretly bought a Lingyin jade pendant from a casual cultivator at a high price of thirty Lingshi.
He attempted to reverse the trend by studying the Lingyin jade pendant and creating a communication product of his own Lingyin jade pendant in Yinshui Market...
Cao Rui, who was in Qingling Market, didn't know Gongsun Zhi at all.
Even if he knew, Cao Rui wouldn't take it seriously.
If you want to develop a cheap and practical communication tool, you should first upgrade the 0-level magic array rune to the same level as him before talking about other things...
More than a month later, just a few days after Cao Rui made a small success in Bailu Dan, Ye Yunyin finally returned from the central part of Yunzhou.
He also brought back 14,000 Lingyin jade pendant materials.
Cao Rui took over three Lingyin jade pendant materials from Ye Yunyin that night.
He did not ask Ye Yunyin about the purchase channel, scratched his head and said, "Elder Ye, I have to trouble you to go again."
Ye Yunyin was slightly startled: "Why?"
"The third batch of Lingyin Jade Pendants has been pre-sold for 10,000 copies."
"These materials are not enough."
In the past month, the pre-sale of Lingyin Jade Pendants has increased by 10,000 copies.
However, the number of pre-sales has begun to decline rapidly recently, which is also within Cao Rui's expectations.
Because the cultivators within the influence range of Qingling Market have almost purchased saturated.
If more cultivators want to buy, Cao Rui must continue to expand the communication range of Lingyin Jade Pendant.
