Chapter 339 The second-level alchemist (please subscribe, please collect)
In fact, every family or sect has similar storage. It only needs to be used as a kind of foundation when the time comes, and all its due power can be exerted at once.
Although the influence of the Sun family is only limited to the small Pingyang County, each generation of foundation-building seniors are trying to continuously expand its scope, exploring again and again, and harvesting again and again. It is through this effort that the family I just had the opportunity to grow to where I am now.
The monks sent by Sun Shengmei were strictly based on the descriptions left by some family elders. Their task was not to pick the elixirs here, but only to confirm the types of elixirs here.
"If there is a golden elixir-level monk in the family in the future, the elders of the family will not blame me for selling my father's land and not feeling sorry for him." After the assignment was completed, Sun Shengmei inevitably felt a little uneasy in her heart.
After all, under normal circumstances, the location of these elixirs or treasures is relatively secret, and they basically exist as a kind of inheritance. They will only be activated when the family suffers a devastating blow.
The Cunning Rabbit's Three Caves are extremely important and indispensable to any family, and some of the locations may have been specially arranged by the elders.
Of course, this negative emotion did not have much impact on Sun Shengmei's firm belief. Under her insistence, more than two-thirds of the family's late-stage Qi cultivation monks and above hurried to different positions. Of course, The tasks of monks in the foundation building stage are even more difficult.
For example, the patriarch of the family, Sun Xunmu, was responsible for patrolling six locations. Sun Youhai, who was more experienced and had better cultivation, was assigned to search at ten locations.
Based on the feedback of each monk, Sun Shengmei will arrange different foundation-building monks to pick all the existing spiritual objects, and go all out to cultivate the first possible golden elixir-phase monk.
Of course, these different locations are left over from the exploration process of family elders in different eras. As the times change, some of them may have disappeared due to various reasons. This does not mean that there will be enough harvest at each location. .
All the core monks in the entire family immediately entered a relatively busy state. Only the Shendog Mountain near the south, a cave built on the ground fire, often heard loud noises. This was Sun Caiyun. The place where the second-level elixir is refined is called the "Alchemy Room", and it is also the only place in the family that has earth fire.
The family has paid a heavy price for this connection with the earthly fire. Originally, to refine first-level elixirs and first-level magic weapons, the spiritual fires ignited by various spiritual trees could meet the needs.
But after Sun Caiyun was successfully promoted to Foundation Establishment, even though the second-level spirit wood could theoretically meet the demand, he was still somewhat unable to refine the elixir, and often failed due to insufficient firepower in the final elixir condensation stage.
Under the leadership of Sun Shengyuan, the family spent a lot of money to hire a second-level high-level formation mage who was proficient in earth fire surveying. Together with Sun Shengyuan, they borrowed the power of the formation and barely succeeded in drawing out a line of earth fire. An alchemy room was specially built here to meet Sun Caiyun's needs, hoping to cultivate the family's first second-level alchemist as soon as possible.
It's a pity that the family's strength is limited. In recent years, it has only managed to purchase three or five kinds of second-level elixir prescriptions, and most of them are used for healing, expelling miasma, etc. There is only one second-level low-grade spiritual elixir and a The second-level low-grade Five Elements Pill itself is more precious.
As the name suggests, the second-level low-grade Spirit Stabilizing Pill is specially used to assist new monks in the foundation-building stage to stabilize their cultivation and prevent the loss of their cultivation realm.
The difficulty of refining this elixir is not high. The most precious thing is a spiritual object called Stable Spirit Fruit, which is used as the main material and purified with earth fire. The auxiliary part of the first-grade high-grade elixir can be successfully refined. It can be said to be the best choice for advancing to the second level alchemy master.
The Five Elements Pill is a general term, divided into five different attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. It is suitable for monks with different qualifications. It is also one of the most commonly used elixirs for monks in the early stage of foundation building.
The only difference among this kind of elixir is that it uses second-level low-grade elixirs with different attributes as the main medicine. The other methods are roughly the same.
Because of their wide range of applications, Five Elements Pills with different attributes are almost one of the most popular second-level elixirs in shops large and small.
As long as Sun Caiyun can stably refine the Five Elements Pill to meet the needs of the seven foundation-building monks in the family, the Sun family can save 10,000 spiritual stones every year on this alone.
The accumulation of this in and out over the years can be imagined, and the significance to the family can be imagined. Ten thousand spiritual stones every year can also be used to purchase other spiritual objects that are lacking, which is of great significance to the development and growth of the entire family.
"Boom!" On this day, there were continuous loud noises in the alchemy room again, and Sun Shengmei, who was standing outside the door, couldn't help but show a hesitant look on her face.
"Failed again? Lack of talent or guidance from a famous teacher? It's just a stabilizing elixir that barely made it to the second level of low-grade. It has failed more than fifty times." Knowingly starting from scratch and cultivating it from scratch It is difficult for a second-level alchemist, but every time you hear loud noises coming from the alchemy room, a trace of heartache will inevitably still exist.
After all, every refining failure means the consumption of a portion of the elixir, which in itself is a considerable expense for the Sun family.
But if the family wants to soar from its current foundation, a highly skilled second-level alchemist must exist.
Sun Shengmei waved her hand and arranged for the family monks to take out a batch of new spiritual medicines from the treasure house, which was enough to meet the needs of about a hundred times of refining.
"The reason why the refining failed this time was that the control of the fire was lacking during the condensation of the spiritual pill. Compared with the flames of the burning spiritual wood, the heat and energy contained in these earth fires are obviously better." Sun Caiyun, who was sitting on the futon in the alchemy room, was thinking about the whole process of refining the spiritual pill.
For a monk who is determined to go further on the road of alchemy, every failure will not make her discouraged.
In the absence of a skilled alchemist as a master to guide her, everything needs to be explored little by little from the beginning.
Especially for a completely unfamiliar spiritual pill, it is particularly obvious. Although there is a pill recipe as an aid, it only records the general steps. Many precautions need to be perfected by her one by one.
This is also the fundamental reason why there is a huge difference in the success rate of refining spiritual pills when there is no famous teacher to give advice during the alchemy process.
Of course, there are gains and losses. Almost every self-taught alchemist has his own unique skills, whether it is an extremely high success rate for a certain kind of elixir, or the identification of elixirs, or the control of the temperature. In short, they are all different and will surely attract envious eyes once they are displayed.
