Chapter 280: Refining Technique
The changes in the prison of the prison were also an accident for Ye Yan. After five years, the number of prisoners in the prison of the prison increased several times, and the prisoners who refined the alchemy also increased several times. Correspondingly, the production of elixirs also increased several times. All of this happened after he left the sect. Seizing a free time, Ye Yan asked Zhao Wu about the whole story.
"After the elders went out, the law enforcement hall sent seven batches of prisoners, with a total of as many as 50,000. The subordinates thought that they could not let the new prisoners be idle, so they were self-righteous and let them learn to refine elixirs. I hope Elder Ye would forgive him for his crimes." Zhao Wu explained anxiously that although this matter was beneficial to the sect and Ye Yan, he did not get Ye Yan's permission. The biggest taboo for those in power was that their subordinates acted beyond their authority.
"What's wrong with you help me earn more spirit stones? Why should I blame you?" Ye Yan hated the most is to teach prisoners to refine alchemy. Someone did it for him. Ye Yan was just wondering how Zhao Wu taught prisoners to refine alchemy. This is not an easy task. "That, did you teach these prisoners to refine alchemy?"
Zhao Wu said excitedly, "Where does the subordinates have the ability of Elder Ye? They use stupid methods. The subordinates select some clever people from the prisoners and let them learn one-on-one with the prisoners who refine the alchemy. When they understand, the subordinates will compile them into a group of alchemy. At first, the subordinates just tried it, but they didn't expect it to succeed."
"This method... is not stupid." Ye Yan divided the alchemy into several links, and each link influenced each other. If someone was smart and wanted to copy it, it would definitely not work! It was precisely this method that was so stupid that it could not be more stupid. "Well, other prisoners also learned alchemy using this method?"
"After the first group of people succeed, my subordinates will use this method to teach other prisoners to refine pills. When they become proficient in their skills, my subordinates will use this method to teach them to refine high-level pills." Although it was his own decision, Zhao Wu did a remarkable achievement. At least 70% of the prisoners in the Zhengzhou Prison are involved in refining pills, and one-third of the prisoners have refine the highest-level Pill!
"Good job!" Ye Yan finally understood what it means to be thirsty, talent is more valuable than anything else!
Zhao Wu continued, "My subordinates dare not sell elixirs privately. All the elixirs refined over the years have been sealed. Wait until Elder Ye comes back to inspect and accept it."
Ye Yan was too lazy to count it himself, "Just report the approximate number to me."
"I obey the order. Currently, there are about six million elixirs in the Breaking Fan Pill, more than two million elixirs in the Hunyuan Pill, and about eighty million elixirs in the Qi-raising Pill. Because Jianzhuo is producing elixirs at any time, he can only report the approximate number." Zhao Wu was obviously prepared, blurted out when he reported the alchemy situation in Jianzhuo truthfully, and then retreated.
Ye Yan couldn't help but take a breath. When he decided to refine alchemy in the prison, he was not greedy for temporary small profits, but focused on long-term interests. Now, long-term benefits are gradually emerging. During his five years of going out, the prison has been creating wealth for him and accumulating a considerable income for him!
Seeing a furnace of broken orphans was released with his own eyes, Master Ge Tai couldn't help but move his lips. The significance of elixirs to the power of cultivating immortals is beyond doubt, and it is even more precious to the Qiqiao Sect, which is good at refining weapons. The reason is that most of the time the Qiqiao Sect spends is much less time refining weapons, and the time spent on cultivation is far less than that of the disciples of other sects. The time spent on restoring can only be compensated with elixirs, and the Pofan Pill is the most urgently needed elixir of Qiqiao Sect. Even though he has always disliked the mundane affairs of sects, he still involuntarily considered the sect when he saw these freshly released Pofan Pills.
After a moment, Ye Yan walked away and said with a smile: "My younger generation can only refine some valuable low-level pills for this acre of three-point land. This makes the master laugh."
Master Ge Tai said in a moved manner, "Little brother is such a bad word. Although the low-level elixir is not valuable, it is of great importance to a sect."
"What does the master say?" Ye Yan always believed that elixirs above the Golden Elixir stage were valuable, and the purpose of refining low-level elixirs was to let those prisoners practice their skills.
Master Ge Tai first asked, "Do you know how much proportion of Qi-refining disciples occupy in the sect?"
"At least it must take up half." Ye Yan made a random guess.
"In the sect, the number of Qi-refining disciples accounts for at least 70%. "Ge Tai asked after the correct answer, "I guess how many disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage occupy in the sect?"
Ye Yan shook his head decisively, knowing what he knows what he doesn't know what he doesn't know, that is, knowing what he knows.
"The remaining 30% are almost all disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage. The disciples above the Golden Elixir Stage do not even account for one percent." Ge Taiyu is not shocking and will never stop.
"Master means..." Ye Yan also knew that the Jindan stage disciples were already very awesome in the sect, but he didn't expect that they were so rare.
"Don't you understand yet? Although high-level cultivators are precious, they are rare in the end, and can only be used to support the storefront. Qi-refining disciples and foundation-building disciples are the main class of the same sect. Moreover, high-level cultivators also stand out from this class. Low-level disciples are the treasure houses of talents reserved by the sect. This class must not lack resources! Therefore, the elixirs used in the Qi-refining stage are the most important resources of a sect. The elixirs in the Qi-refining stage can be used for 70% of the sect's disciples, pushing these 70% of the disciples to a higher level!" Master Ge Tai said excitedly, "In fact, there is no big difference between the Immortal Cultivation Sect and the mortal country. Delicacies are just dispensable luxury goods. The most concerned issue for a king of a country is whether the people can eat rice."
Ye Yan only knew that the demand for low-level pills was very high, but he didn't know that low-level pills were so important to the sect. He sighed, "Thank you for your advice, it's better for the younger generation to give the master ten thousand mortal pills as a gift."
"Little brother wants to give me 10,000 mortal pills!" Not only Ge Tai was extremely surprised, but Fairy Ao Xue was also extremely shocked! Her beautiful eyes looked at Ye Yan in shock. The sect bought more than 100 mortal pills from Liuyun Sect every year, but Ye Yan took 10,000 mortal pills, which were given for free! How could it not be astonishing?
"I was offended to the noble school before. I gave 10,000 Polyphenols to apologize. What's more, I invited the master to visit him thousands of miles away, so how could the master come back empty-handed?" Ye Yan brought Ge Tai to the prison not to show off his family's fortune. On the one hand, it was to show that he had capital to trade with Qiqiao Sect, and on the other hand, it was to win over the relationship and bring him the place of the alchemy. Of course, he wanted to give some specialties. Otherwise, wouldn't it be jealous?
Master Ge Tai was not confused either. He brought him to the sect's elixir forbidden alchemy and gave him 10,000 mortal pills. It was absolutely impossible to just express his apology. He clearly came for the artifacts refined by Qiqiao Sect.
Although Master Ge Tai guessed Ye Yan's motive, he didn't mind because the reason was that Ye Yan had the capital to trade with the sect!
The rejection of the evil sect by the famous sect is just a gesture, and equivalent exchange is the iron rule of transaction! Low-level elixirs are the most lacking resources in Qiqiao Sect. Ge Tai believes that the sect will never miss the opportunity to exchange elixirs with objects, and then tentatively said, "I don't know if these ten thousand elixirs of Breaking Fan were given by the little brother, or the sect leader of the noble sect meant?"
"It's all the same." Although the gift of Pofan Pill was Ye Yan's suggestion, if it was not for the sect leader, why would he have tried his best to win over Qiqiao Sect?
This is what Ge Tai said. Giving elixirs means the sect leader, and Ye Yan is the sect leader’s sanction! Ge Tai thought this transaction was feasible, and secondly recognized Ye Yan’s character, so he simply did something for the sect. "The little brother specially brought me this place to refine elixir, not just to open my eyes, right?"
Ye Yan said bluntly, "I'm not hiding it from the master. I'm interested in using elixirs to exchange spiritual weapons with your sect. Does the master think it's feasible?"
Master Ge Tai said, "The principle of trading is mutual benefit and mutual benefit. Pills are urgently needed for our sect. And your sect also needs spiritual weapons. Transactions are good for each other, so what's wrong?"
Ye Yan originally thought he would waste some talk, but he didn't expect Ge Tai to be so cheerful, and sighed, "Master is really a quick talk."
Ge Tai smiled and said, "I and my little brother are not businessmen, they just do something for the sect. Why don't you talk around the bush? However, the identities of the sect are different from the sect. It is best for the little brother to trade with the sect in his personal capacity, and it is not advisable to be ostentatious."
"Just make the transaction happen. Everything depends on the master's wishes." Ye Yan understood it in his heart.
After finalizing the transaction, Master Ge Tai asked, "How many pills can I take out to exchange spiritual weapons for you, you might as well tell me the truth and let me know the sect leader after I return to the sect."
Ye Yan's prison is always producing pills, but there are few opportunities to change spiritual weapons. Even if this transaction is completed, it is still a matter of whether there is a next one. So, if you can change as much as you can, you can change it! "There are not many stocks for me at present, including 20 million Hunyuan pills and 80 million Qi-raising pills."
…………Ge Tai took a breath. There was not much inventory of such a terrifying scale? I’m afraid Liuyun Sect can’t produce it either. You know, although Liuyun Sect is famous for refining weapons in Qizhou, it is not an industrialized production like the Zhengjue. All the people responsible for refining alchemy are alchemists. Moreover, the elixirs refined by Liuyun Sect must be sold to sects of all sizes in Qizhou according to proportions, and the number of them can be preserved is not large.
"I wonder how many times your sect can replace?" Ye Yan woke Ge Tai up from the petrochemical state.
"There are so many elixirs that can be taken out by my sect, and I will exchange as much as I can!" Master Ge Tai was not vague! In fact, the two sides' ideas are similar. Qiqiao Sect can produce a large number of spiritual weapons every year, but I have always been worried about the elixirs. Is there a chance to buy elixirs, so I can naturally exchange as much as I can exchange it? Master Ge Tai was not satisfied with throwing it away. "I wonder if my little brother still has the Breaking Fan Pill in his hand?"
"Yes." Ye Yan just gave away ten thousand Polygon Pills, and the demand for Polygon Pills was not very large, so he did not mention Polygon Pills when he reported survival.
"How many?" Master Ge Tai asked anxiously.
"There are about 100,000 left." The real inventory is six million, and Ye Yan was careful!
"How about exchanging all the 100,000 mortal pills to this sect?" Master Ge Tai wished he could move the prison back to Qiqiao Sect.
"The Pofan Pill is a pill that helps the disciples at the peak of Qi refining to break through to the foundation-building stage. You can't use so much, right?" Ye Yan tried calmly.
"My little brother only knows one thing but not the other. You don't have to wait until the peak of Qi refining when using the Breaking Orb. High-level Qi refining cultivators can use the Breaking Orb to impact the foundation building stage. Even if you fail to impact the Foundation Building stage, it will not be a problem to reach the peak of weapon refining. The number of Qi refining disciples in this sect exceeds one million, and 30% of these Qi refining disciples are at the advanced level of Qi refining. As long as there is a Breaking Orb, they can impact the Foundation Building stage! Therefore, even if I buy all 100,000 Breaking Orbs, it is not enough.
. I just calculated that only the disciples who are already at the advanced level of Qi Refining, and those who have not yet cultivated to the advanced level of Qi Refining. As long as there are abundant elixir assistance, six or seven out of ten disciples will have the opportunity to cultivate to the advanced level of Qi Refining! Besides, there is no such thing as precious resources like the Pofan Pill, which is too much power to cultivate immortals? Even if you can't use it for a while, you can reserve it first!" Master Ge Tai said everything. He did not hide the role and value of the Pofan Pill.
"After all, it's expensive and wealthy." How could Ye Yan not know that at the high level of Qi Refining, he could use the Breaking Fan Pill to impact the Foundation Establishment Stage. However, the chance of success is relatively low. The Breaking Fan Pill is very scarce. In order to avoid waste, the sect generally only uses the Breaking Fan Pill who rewards the peak weapon for the Breaking Fan Pill. Even if the cultivator bought the Breaking Fan Pill himself, he had to wait until the peak weapon for the peak weapon for the rest of the weapon. Unless it was a forced time, he would use the Breaking Fan Pill to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage as soon as he reached the high level of Qi Refining!
Ge Tai shook his head and said, "Although this sect is richer than the ordinary immortal cultivation forces, it is not as luxurious as that of that level. It is really a force for situations. The little brother must also know that the weapon refiner spends all his energy on refining weapons. The cultivation time is far less than that of other cultivators. The pills are just an auxiliary to ordinary cultivators, but the weapon refiner relies on pills to practice. To be honest, most of the disciples of this sect just set their targets in the foundation building stage. Once they break through to the foundation building stage, they will get the life of the foundation building stage, and then they will stop practicing."
"I gave up like this. Can't I still find someone to practice dual cultivation?" Ye Yan reminded with a smile. Fairy Ao Xue immediately gave a blank look.
"Dual cultivation is a way to solve the problem. But it is not easy to find a partner of this dual cultivation..." Master Ge Tai said many concerns because he had a female disciple present. The sect is a place where there are more wolves and less meat. It is rare for two to three female disciples among a thousand disciples. It is easy for female cultivators to find a partner of dual cultivation, but it is too difficult for male cultivators to find a Taoist companion with dual cultivation.
Ye Yan looked at a familiar expression, "Since that's the case, the remaining 100,000 Polyphenols will be exchanged with the sect."
"That's great." Ge Tai naturally understood what these 100,000 Poisonous Pills mean to the sect. As long as these Poisonous Pills are used properly, they can at least create tens of thousands of foundation-building disciples!
Master Ge Tai has a unique identity and cannot handle the transaction himself. He just finalized the transaction with Ye Yan. After the matter is settled, Qiqiao Sect will naturally send someone to take over. After the matter is settled, he took the initiative to say: "This prison must be a forbidden place for the noble sect. I and my disciples are not from the noble sect. It is not convenient for me to stay for a long time, so it is better to return here." Ye Yan said calmly, "Master, don't be anxious. I will recommend the master who refined weapons to you."
"What, is that the master who refining weapons is also in this prison." Purchasing pills is just for the purpose of sects. Refining weapons is the itchy spot of Master Ge Tai. No, there are only two types of people in the prison, one is a prisoner, and the other is a law enforcement disciple who guards the prisoners. That master has extraordinary achievements in refining weapons and will never become a prisoner! Even if he sends this person to guard the mortals, it would be a waste of talent.
"Master, please." Ye Yan is now imitating ancient rituals in a very good manner.
In the past seven years, metal sheets have been refined and arranged in three processes. Now they have been completed. Hundreds of thousands of metal sheets are piled up in a corner of the canyon, like two small hills!
"This is!" Master Ge Tai was shocked and confused when he saw these metal plates. He grabbed a piece of metal plate to check.
The material of the refining tool requires pureness. It is not enough to use one material alone. It also needs to be refined and purified repeatedly. However, the material of this metal piece is mixed and impure, just like a piece of waste. However, this piece of waste has been refined and well-designed! It can barely be regarded as an artifact!
Ge Tai couldn't suppress his curiosity and blurted out, "I took the initiative to ask for advice, what kind of material do these metal sheets use?"
Ye Yan cried and said, "Young people are poor. You can't afford high-end materials, so you have to collect some broken spiritual weapons and melt them. Those spiritual weapons are all kinds of materials, and they can be refined together and refined into this way."
Master Ge Tai suspected that, “Is it still possible to mix the materials into this way?”
Ye Yan said calmly, "Anyway, they are all materials melted from worthless garbage, so use them just for a while. The younger generations are many prisoners, and people are not valuable. These prisoners are also a waste when they are idle. If you just spend a piece of equipment, you will make a profit!"

Not only Ge Tai's disciples were speechless, but even the prisoners who made metal plates felt indignant. The prisoners were no longer humans, and it was difficult for them to work day and night for the past seven years.
Although these metal plates are purely waste, Ge Tai noticed Ye Yan's traces from the formation used by the metal plates. He knew very well that Ye Yan's methods would never waste time doing boring things. Although these metal plates were refined, Ye Yan always thought about them when refining them? Ge Tai asked directly, "I don't know what the purpose of refining these metal plates is."
Ye Yan introduced that "the younger generation used thousands of prisoners and took seven years to refine these metal pieces."
"It took thousands of prisoners to be mobilized and seven years to make a pile of rags with garbage." Ge Tai secretly complained that his little brother really did not treat prisoners as humans, but he was even more curious about the metal sheets. "Little brother, tell me, what are the uses of these metal sheets?"
"These metal sheets have been refined, and only the last step is left to complete it. Why not let the younger generation complete it, and ask the master to correct it." Ye Yan suggested on his own initiative.
"I don't dare to advise my brother. I just want to open my eyes and let me see what the functions of these metal plates do?" Master Ge Tai was extremely surprised! Judging from Ye Yan's meaning, these metal plates were not a failed refining, but were not completed yet, and there was only the last link left. He repeatedly urged Ye Yan to take action quickly.
Ye Yan immediately summoned thousands of prisoners and spread the metal sheets flat on the ground as he asked. While the prisoners were placing the metal sheets, he burned the formation on the metal sheets.
Ge Tai thought Ye Yan would pick out a group of people to demonstrate for him, but he didn't expect Ye Yan to have such a scale! Ye Yan's method of setting up the formation shocked him even more!
Master! Ge Tai can now conclude that Ye Yan not only knows how to refine weapons, but also has the means far above him! Not to mention those next to him, he was beyond his reach to such a method of setting up a formation, even beyond his imagination! He couldn't help but imitate Ye Yan's method and gesture.
"What is Master doing?" Fairy Ao Xue obviously didn't understand the mystery of the formation method, but she felt that Ye Yan was very fast.
"The formation method used by the little brother is extremely clever. It makes me gain something from being a master." Ge Tai's excited tone was also a little out of tune. Unlike the formation and refining classics for reference, there are very few weapon refining masters who know the formation method. As a master of weapon refining, it is the first time he has seen a master of skilled weapon refining techniques.
"Array setting technique?" Fairy Aoxue has refined hundreds of objects since she became a disciple, but this is the first time she has heard that there are techniques for setting up a pattern.
Ge Tai took the opportunity to point out, "The skills of setting up a formation are not only the understanding and application of formations, but also the techniques of setting up a formation are also very important. A masterful array arrangement technique can not only greatly increase the speed of formation, but also reduce errors in formation. What's more, some advanced array techniques require advanced array arrangement techniques to be coordinated before they can be arranged."
Fairy Aoxue thoughtfully said, "The method of setting up the formation is so important? Why don't the master teach his disciples?"
"If a teacher does not teach you the method of setting up a formation, how do you set up a formation? The teacher just doesn't teach you separately. When you learn how to set up a formation, you will naturally learn how to set up a formation for your teacher." Ge Tai said this and sighed quietly. "The reason why a teacher does not teach you the method of setting up a formation is because a teacher only knows one method of setting up a formation. Since you have learned the method of using a teacher, there is no other method that can be taught to you as a teacher."
Fairy Aoxue nodded and said, "Oh, what kind of formation method is that disciple using?"
"The formation method used by our disciples is called Long Nodding, which is a low-level formation method. However, just this low-level formation method can already stand out in Qizhou. This sect gradually developed a great weapon refining sect called Qizhou, which is also because of the inheritance of this formation method. The disciples of other sects can peek at the formation method of our sect from spiritual weapons, but they cannot learn the secret formation method of our sect." Ge Tai reminded, "The disciples should pay attention to the formation method used by the younger brothers. Such a good opportunity is once a lifetime. If you can understand some of the fur, you will benefit endlessly!"
Fairy Aoxue observed for a moment and shook her head and said, "He is moving too fast, so the disciples can't see clearly."
"His movements are fast because of his proficient techniques, and the other is because of his master's skillful array arrangement. Each array arrangement technique is the limit of speed. If he mastered this array arrangement technique, the time for refining weapons can be reduced by at least half." Master Ge Tai was also trying to figure out Ye Yan's array arrangement technique, and at the same time he was also pointing out his disciples.
Formation and refining methods can be learned from classics, and the method of setting up the array is usually the secret of the sect that is not passed on! Therefore, Master Ge Tai will never take the liberty to ask Ye Yan for advice. He can only observe from the side and understand as much as he can. He only hopes that Ye Yan will set up the array for a longer time. With his knowledge, before Ye Yan ends the array, he really appreciates some of the details... These insights have already greatly improved his method of setting up the array!
