Chapter 271: First Refining of 4th Level Pill
Chapter 271: First Refining of 4th Level Pill
Although alchemy has nothing to do with cultivation, Wang Qiye could only use the fifth-grade alchemy furnace with difficulty. The two sixth-grade alchemy furnaces were snatched away by Duanmu Lan. Then she stole six of the best fifth-grade alchemy furnaces from Wang Qiye and gave her four fourth-grade alchemy furnaces to Wang Qiye as a settlement of some old debts.
In this way, Wang Qiye is actually controlling four fifth-level alchemy furnaces and four fourth-level alchemy furnaces. If she hadn't disliked the ugly welded alchemy furnace, she would have snatched it away long ago.
The reason why Wang Qiye always indulged her was probably because of that dinner. He had already married the two women at that table, and in his heart, he had already tacitly accepted that they were his wives.
Duanmu Lan asked curiously. "Wang Qiye, why don't you use the fifth-level alchemy furnace to refine the Qi Gathering Pill?"
Wang Qiye smiled. "I have the confidence to refine four types of fourth-level elixirs. Your four fourth-level elixir furnaces are things that can be put on the table. It would be a pity if they exploded. These things from the black market will explode if they explode. Anyway, they can only be sold as scrap metal after they are bought."
After that, Wang Qiye ignored her and continued to refine the elixir. For this first batch of fourth-level elixir, Wang Qiye of course chose to refine the Qi Condensation Pill. He watched the refining videos twice, one of which was the famous Master Gongsun, and he believed that this batch would not be too bad.
Sure enough, the entire liquid medicine blended very smoothly, and the "opening of the furnace" can be said to be very successful. Next, as long as the "maintenance" is done well, this furnace should be fine.
"It will take another 810 days to see the results. It's really painful." Wang Qiye sighed.
His eight furnaces of third-grade pills have not yet been produced. They have now been entrusted to other alchemists to look after. In addition to the wages, they are also paid a bottle of pills for each furnace.
Then he worked non-stop for three days, using the remaining three fourth-level alchemy furnaces to refine three furnaces of fourth-level pills, namely Qingling Pill, Dahuan Pill and Buqi Pill.
The Da Huan Dan heals injuries, and the Bu Qi Dan replenishes Qi and blood. These four kinds of elixirs are the ones that impressed him the most and the ones he is most confident in refining. But he can't blow up these four fourth-level elixir furnaces. He also hopes to put these four elixir furnaces in his grocery store in the future as the treasure of the store.
He was not so distressed about the remaining four fifth-grade alchemy furnaces. Even if they exploded, the recycling price of fifth-grade scrap iron was 12 spirit stones, so the loss was not that much.
For four consecutive days, he refined four furnaces of Zhenyuan Pills, Huiyuan Pills, Shengyuan Pills, and Peiyuan Pills. In particular, Peiyuan Pill, which was said to be the most difficult to refine among the fourth-level pills, was refined by him using the ugliest welded pill furnace.
He wanted to see if what the boy said was true or not. "The furnace won't explode. What a joke. He himself can't even guarantee whether it can succeed, but the boy dares to brag so loudly."
Regardless of whether these eight furnaces of pills are certain or not, generally speaking, his "opening of the furnace" was a success. The next step is to see if any accidents occur during the most critical maintenance of the pills.
"How is it? Is everything refined?" Duanmu Lan asked.
Wang Qiye nodded. "Well, it's going well so far."
"Then let's start refining the anti-aging pill." Duanmu Lan said, taking out a scroll from the storage bag.
Yan Mengwan was not here, so there was no other way. The old witch made the two of them swear an oath with a talisman that they would not reveal the method of refining the Rejuvenating Pill to anyone, including her own disciples and children.
There was no other way, the two could only nod and agree. Compared with the conditions proposed by others, the conditions proposed by this old witch were the most merciful.
Wang Qiye also figured it out. There are so many types of elixirs, and he just didn't pass on one kind of elixir. But in return he got other people's exquisite fifth-level alchemy techniques. To put it bluntly, he made a profit from this deal. After all, the alchemists in the alchemy world have eyes on their heads, and they keep a close eye on their treasures, as if they are afraid that others will surpass them.
Duanmu Lan didn't say any more words. He untied the rope on the scroll, unfolded the scroll, and watched it with Wang Qiye.
There are only a dozen or so little figures on the scroll, and next to each figure is a furnace. Although this scroll is an enlarged print, it is still very clear.
This scroll painting shows the method of refining the anti-aging elixir.
The two men stared at the first little man, who came to life and began to demonstrate how to open a furnace on the scroll.
Once the exquisite technique of refining the fifth-grade elixir was demonstrated, the two could no longer take their eyes away and sighed that the more than 10 spirit stones they spent were totally worth it.
Although the fifth-level alchemy technique is more complicated than the fourth-level technique, Wang Qiye and Duanmu Lan's fourth-level alchemy technique has been instructed by Master Gongsun, one of the five alchemy masters in this world, so it is not difficult to interpret it.
After the furnace-opening man finished his demonstration, his black inky figure became fainter and fainter until it disappeared.
The two of them didn't care at all and moved on to look at the next little man. After these dozen little men finished looking, the entire scroll caught fire without wind and turned to ashes.
From starting the furnace, to controlling the temperature, to "maintenance" at every stage, it can be said that every detail is taken care of.
Just mastering the old witch's inherited method of refining elixirs is not enough to learn her inheritance. However, this exquisite method has greatly helped Wang Qiye improve.
If Wang Qiye had a 20% chance of refining the fourth-grade elixir before, then now, the chance has to be increased by 10%.
The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time, deciding to refine the fifth-level anti-aging pill right away while their hands were hot.
The two of them didn't say any nonsense, they just took out the ready-made herbs and refined the thousand-year-old elixir first.
From opening the underground fire to throwing the thousand-year-old elixir into the sixth-level alchemy furnace, Wang Qiye was still a little excited. Although he couldn't control the sixth-level alchemy furnace, he could still help.
Duanmu Lan was in charge of the control and he was assisting in the control. The two of them followed what they had just seen and learned, and they did it quite well.
After refining the thousand-year-old elixir into liquid medicine, the two rested for a while, and then they refined the remaining two fifth-grade main medicines and third- and fourth-grade auxiliary medicines in one breath.
After all the herbs were refined into liquid medicine, the two stopped to rest and calm themselves before starting to blend the liquid medicine.
Duanmu Lan watched many "furnace opening performances" of fifth-level elixirs. With her in charge, the furnace opening of this batch of anti-aging pills was relatively successful.
Looking at the half-finished Rejuvenating Pill, the two turned their heads and smiled at each other.
After telling Chuntao the precautions and the temperature of the furnace for making medicine, the two were still reluctant to leave for a long time.
Wang Qiye sat on the ground, supported himself with his hands, and asked, "Do you think this furnace will be successful?"
Duanmu Lan was still looking at the flame of the alchemy furnace, fearing that something might go wrong, as this would affect her ability to refine the fifth-grade elixir.
He responded casually. "No matter if it succeeds or not, you have already invested 33 spirit stones."
Wang Qiye then withdrew his eyes from the alchemy furnace and looked at the quiet woman in a somewhat angry tone. "It seems that she didn't spend a penny this time. She used other people's medicine to refine her own pills."
"My behavior is just like that of an old-time bootlicker, but the way these women around me look at the alchemy furnace is more sincere than how they look at me. Can I really warm their hearts?"
Wang Qiye turned his head to the side and accidentally saw the ugly pill furnace, so he took a look. "It seems that the young man didn't lie. The pill furnace seems to be in good condition."
Duanmu Lan chuckled. "Maybe it's welded too firmly. I told you to take it apart but you refused. Wait until it explodes by itself, and then we'll know the magic of the furnace."
Wang Qiye glared at her. "You're such a jinx."
"I advise you not to hold out too much hope. If this furnace is really as magical as he said, then it must have a great origin. But the fact that their family let a second-level kid come out to sell this thing speaks volumes."
Wang Qiye said indifferently. "Who knows? Maybe it's because of decline? Who's ancestors haven't been rich? It's easy for the ancestors to build a kingdom, but how many descendants can keep it?"
"Take the Divine Eagle Territory for example. Hasn't it been torn apart? Recently, I heard that the Yellow Turban Army appeared and was quite active, threatening to pluck out all the eagle feathers of the Sima family. I just don't know which force will be the one to support this force."
"Not necessarily. Isn't Sima Yushi going to get engaged?"
Wang Qiye said disdainfully. "It's just an engagement, not a marriage. With the situation in the Divine Eagle Territory, it's hard to say what will happen in one year, not to mention five years. It's possible that this is a delaying tactic of the Territory."
Duanmu Lan turned around. "What you said makes sense. What do you think about waiting until Sima Yushi is captured and buying her up the mountain to have her wash my feet?"
Wang Qiye really admired Duanmu Lan's train of thought and nodded. "Okay, as long as you have the spirit stone, you are the boss."
"Wang Qiye, if you are willing to pay a little, I will let her warm your bed."
Wang Qiye was frightened and looked around quickly. When he found that Chuntao was alone, he breathed a sigh of relief. "My ancestor, please stop saying bad things to me. If they hear me, I will be punished again."
Duanmu Lan acted as if she didn't hear him. "What are you afraid of? Do you want me to add some aphrodisiac to your daily medicinal bath? I guarantee that I can make them both obedient."
Wang Qiye shook his head helplessly. "My dear aunt, you are really talking about something irrelevant. Is that the case?"
"Then you should hurry up and get your golden elixir and take care of those two. Your cultivation is as slow as a turtle's, isn't it too slow?"
“There is a way up the mountain, and haste makes waste. There is no need to rush. When you reach the top of the mountain, you will see the same sunrise.”
