Chapter 43 Alchemy(1/2)
Zhang Cheng observed his mother's expression and asked, "Is mother injured?"
Mother: "When I tried to open the upper Dantian, my meridians were somewhat damaged. It will take a few years to heal. Although I didn't fully open the upper Dantian this time, I still gained some experience. I will open it next time after the injury is healed."
It will be much easier to go to Dantian."
"By the way, mother should keep these things, they are of no use to me anymore." Zhang Cheng opened the storage bag, took out six inner elixirs of the purple mansion period monsters, and handed them to his mother.
The mother took the demon pill and asked: "Why haven't my six nieces and daughters-in-law come back? Why did you bring back a furnace? Well, this furnace is still pretty, but my nieces and daughters-in-law
They're not bad either, and there are six of them, so they won't be enough for you!"
"Mother, your nieces and daughters-in-law are doing meritorious deeds outside in order to understand the Taoist mind and prepare for the advancement to the Nascent Soul stage in the future. They have no time to go home for the time being. I came back this time after solving the Taoist mind and the human tribulation.
, studying the art of alchemy at home is also to leave some foundation for the family."
"Are you already in the Nascent Soul stage?!" Although my mother is a foundation-building monk, she also understands what it means to understand the Taoist mind and human calamity. This is a common sense issue for every high-level monk who wants to enter.
Zhang Cheng pointed at Ma Xiaoyan: "It's in her, the advanced Nascent Soul stage."
At this time, Zhang Cheng had vaguely understood that his personal calamity should be Liu Shuo, who was on the sixth level of the golden elixir. Liu Shuo's last words before his death were, 'Ma Xiaoyan, I have decided on you!', and he solved the problem himself.
After the calamity, the human calamity originally determined Ma Xiaoyan's fate in this golden elixir stage, and transferred it to himself, so that he could successfully advance to the Nascent Soul stage on Ma Xiaoyan.
Now it's a good thing that the Ma Xiaoyan that this person is attracted to is a woman!
Mother: "It's not that simple to make alchemy. First of all, you need to have an alchemy furnace, right?"
Zhang Cheng stretched out his hand and summoned the Bagua furnace from his dantian, flying in the palm of his hand.
My mother was speechless for a moment. It turned out that she had been prepared for it.
"I'm going to recuperate."
After her mother left, taking her two children with her, Liu Piaopiao, who was now building a ninth-floor foundation, held out her belly and said Wanfu: "Hello, uncle!"
Zhang Cheng nodded: "Hello, brother and sister."
Why was it so awkward for my brother and sister to call me uncle? Zhang Cheng doubted it, but still took two large bottles of Jingyuan Dan, a total of two hundred pills, and handed them to Liu Piaopiao: "This is a meeting gift. We are all members of the same family, so you don't have to be polite."
"Yes, thank you uncle!"
Zhang Cheng asked: "Zhang Jing got married and Zhang Rui entered the sect. Are their rooms vacant?"
Liu Piaopiao: "Yes."
Zhang Cheng: "Okay, I'll live in their room from now on."
Liu Piaopiao: "Yes."
Now Zhang Gong's wedding room is the same room that Zhang Cheng and Zhang Gong lived in when they were children. His younger brother is not at home, but his younger siblings are still at home. He can't live in it - otherwise his younger brother will soon have something to say to his sister-in-law. Well. Still.
There are still vacancies in good homes.
He took the furnace tripod back to his sisters' room and tidied it up with a cleaning technique. Zhang Cheng took the furnace tripod and Ma Xiaoyan to live here.
Every day, Zhang Cheng began to learn to identify elixirs from books, and then figured out the elixir formulas.
Refining elixirs is a technical job. If you want to increase the rate of elixirs, you have to be familiar with it!
One of the strengths of Jindan Yuanying monks in elixir refining is that they can remove the useless parts of the elixir in the initial process of elixir refining using elixir fire and infant fire - this step is a delicate job, and it is impossible to control ordinary fire.
.
This avoids the production of most of the erysipelas. Before the final elixir takes shape, you can use your spiritual consciousness and magic power in conjunction with the elixir collection technique to remove the erysipelas for the last time. The elixir refined in this way can basically be eaten as food to improve your cultivation.
After inspecting the elixirs obtained from the two golden elixir cultivators, most of them were elixirs for refining the Taiyuan Dan and the Foundation Establishment Dan. They were all given to the Qi Refining cultivators and could also be used for practicing.
Because at the beginning, he knew that some elixirs would be wasted, so Zhang Cheng used twenty portions of elixirs as the amount for one refining. The first time he made elixirs, he was a little confused, but in the end he was able to refine them step by step. However, the elixir yield rate was very low.
It's more pitiful, only 10%, two pills.
I went to find my sleeping civet on the tree in the yard and came back. Now the civet has advanced to foundation building. The black civet is more than one meter long and its tail is more than one meter long.
The civet cat looked unhappy after being woken up, but when it saw a Taiyuan Pill in Zhang Cheng's hand, it rolled its tongue and swallowed the Taiyuan Pill.
After the civet cat had completely refined the medicinal power in the Taiyuan Pill, Zhang Cheng discovered that the civet cat had improved its cultivation for about two or three years, which was pretty good.
Continue to turn on the furnace.
Day after day, Zhang Cheng spent all his time on improving his alchemy skills except for riding Xiaoyan.
Starting from the second batch of elixirs, Zhang Chenggong stabilized the elixir-making rate at 30%. Then the elixir-making rate began to increase steadily. After the elixir-making rate increased to 95%, Zhang Cheng once again increased the number of elixirs for each refinement.
Refining one hundred pills at a time.
This time the rate of pill formation dropped to 65%.
This is still within the acceptable range.
Then the second time, the success rate of one hundred spiritual pills reached 80%.
The third time when the success rate of one hundred pills reached 90%, well, then Zhang Cheng discovered that there was no main ingredient for the Taiyuan Pill.
This time I refined the Taiyuan Pill and got 419 completed pills.
His mother has been recovering from an injury recently and cannot actually do anything with magic power. Zhang Cheng asked Ma Xiaoyan, the Furnace Cauldron, to hand over most of the Cheng Dan and 400 Taiyuan Dan to his mother.
For a family of monks with hundreds of qi-training periods, each qi-training monk would be gone if he only had one.
Of course it doesn't happen that way.
The mother handed over one hundred Taiyuan Pills to the clan. How the clan distributes them is a family matter.
Then the mother distributed more than a dozen Taiyuan Pills to some relatives who were close to her at home, and asked her daughter-in-law Liu Piaopiao to take her back to the Liu family once, and sent some of the Taiyuan Pills back to her parents' home.
Among them, Zhang Cheng's wife's family and Zhang Gong's wife's family both received some Taiyuan Pills.
The price of a Taiyuan Danfang in the city is five hundred spirit stones.
Zhang Cheng calculated the price of purchasing the elixir in the market. Based on the 100% elixir success rate, the cost of the Taiyuan elixir was only fifty elixirs.
No wonder all the major sects have a monopoly on alchemy and weapon refining. This is too profitable.
After Zhang Cheng refined the elixir, he didn't dare to sell it in the market. After all, it was something that needed to be eaten. If the price was similar, Dapai's stores would guarantee it.
If you sell it at a low price, people will think that it is not a good product, or you get what you pay for. The price is only 80% of that of Lingyao Pavilion, so is the efficacy of the medicine only 80% of that of Lingyao Pavilion?
The tens of thousands of years of signboards of various major sects are advertisements that are stronger than anything else.
When Zhang Cheng's mother received the elixir, she only dared to give it to relatives. Anyway, those relatives who received the elixir knew that their relatives would not harm her.
After completing the refining of the Taiyuan Pill, Zhang Cheng rested on Ma Xiaoyan for a few days.
Then he started refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. The Foundation Establishment Pill, speaking of it, is still a pill taken by monks during the Qi training period, and its difficulty is limited.
This time, Zhang Cheng started refining the elixir with a group of twenty elixirs, and the elixir yield rate continued to increase from 50% for the first time until the elixir was exhausted, maintaining the subsequent 95% elixir rate.
Dan rate.
The 100% rate of elixir formation requires an unexpected occurrence.
For small alchemy in a group of twenty, the highest elixir yield rate is 95%, while for large alchemy in a group of 100 pills, the highest elixir yield rate is 99%.
After using up the elixir for refining the foundation-building pills in the storage bag, Zhang Cheng counted two hundred and thirty pills.
If allocated to late-stage qi-training monks with good qualifications and good character, these foundation-building pills can train almost 200 foundation-building monks.
Zhang Cheng still collected thirty of the Foundation-Building Pills himself and gave the remaining two hundred to his mother for disposal.
Only then did Zhang Cheng realize that the Foundation Establishment Pill made a lot of money. He had heard before that the cost of the Foundation Establishment Pill was two thousand spirit stones, so he believed it.
But after I made the elixir myself, I asked about the price of the elixir, and realized that a small furnace of twenty foundation-building elixirs cost two thousand spirit stones.
Based on the 90% pill success rate, the cost of a Foundation Establishment Pill is only over 100 spirit stones.
In this way, 10,000 spirit stones and one foundation-building pill are sold in every market. Moreover, in fact, the sect disciples' own foundation-building pills are not enough.
Of course, since the sect has mastered the core technology of alchemy, it is their turn to make this money.
This time, Zhang Cheng did not ask his mother to give away the Foundation Establishment Pill, but asked his mother to exchange the Foundation Establishment Pill for half the price for mature elixirs from various families.
At least the Zhang and Liu families would not object to such an exchange.
With some mature elixirs in hand, Zhang Cheng, who rested on Ma Xiaoyan for a few more days, began to refine the Taiyuan Pill again.
As for the Zhang family, with the distribution of some Taiyuan Pills and some Foundation Establishment Pills, fifteen Foundation Establishment monks were trained in just a few days.
The Liu family also trained ten foundation-building monks.
After several furnaces of Taiyuan Pills were released, Zhang Cheng did not rest, but started refining the Foundation Establishment Pills again. After the batch of Foundation Establishment Pills was finished, he started refining the Shangyuan Pills again.
Zhang Cheng stopped after completing the refining of twenty small furnaces of Shangyuan Pills and obtained one hundred and forty-six Shangyuan Pills.
After collecting the elixirs from various families, Zhang Cheng refined a small furnace of pulse nourishing pills.
This pulse nourishing pill helps monks recover from damage to their meridians. Zhang Chengcai learned from his mother who came back from the Liu family that it was not only her mother's meridians that were damaged when she attacked the Dantian, but also her younger sister Zhang Jinghe who had taken the risk to attack the Zi Mansion some time ago.
My younger sister Zhang Rui from Taisu Clan also had her meridians damaged when she attacked Zi Mansion.
Among the foundation-building monks Zhang Cheng knew, only his cousin Zhang Miao was the only one who used the Zifuqi Demon Pill to open the upper Dantian once.
Now my cousin Zhang Miao is also a great monk on the third floor of Zi Mansion and is the backbone of the sect.
The remaining people either need to slowly recover from their injuries or take Yangmai Dan.
