Chapter 25 Alchemy [Please read]
The first thing is the news that Qingyang Sect and Yuanmo Sect have declared war.
After such a big event happened, it was naturally impossible for the Qingyang Sect to remain silent. In addition, there was already a lot of friction between the two sects, so the declaration of war was naturally a matter of course.
The sects in the world of immortality are roughly divided into two paths: good and evil.
The righteous path is like Qingyang Sect, which follows the orthodox path of cultivating immortals. It has a deep foundation and strong strength, but its speed is slow.
Demons such as Yuan Mo Sect love to follow crooked ways. Both the exercises and spells they practice are full of evil nature. They either dig out the heart and lungs, or raise insects and refine Gu. They have never been welcomed by the orthodox sects.
Although the practice of magic is fast, it is also more difficult to break through the bottleneck and requires strong stimulation of life and death, so there are often fights with the orthodox sects.
The second thing is that Qingyang Sect conducted a large-scale screening within the sect and uncovered many spies.
The big boss behind Zhenbaoxuan was arrested and interrogated. Zhenbaoxuan was also taken over by people from the sect, and its style was greatly improved.
Kong Guang also sent a message saying that the two of them no longer had to deal secretly and privately, and there was a joy from the bottom of his heart in his words.
The last thing is closely related to Yang Hao.
Due to the declaration of war between the Qingyang Sect and the Yuanmo Sect, combat supplies on the market began to be in short supply, and related prices generally rose.
For example, ordinary fireball talismans have increased to two spiritual stones, not to mention other elixirs and magic weapons.
This is great news for a person like Yang Hao who masters a craft. Once something is made, people will buy it immediately, so there is no need to worry about sales.
Some people even bought the inferior elixirs from some alchemy apprentices.
This has also led to a lot more people learning the side art of cultivating immortals, and the prices of related materials have also risen a bit.
But overall, the joy outweighs the worry.
Soon, Yang Hao came to Waimenfang City.
The atmosphere here is obviously different from before.
There are many more vendors selling goods than before, but even so, demand still exceeds supply.
Everyone was in a hurry, and shopping was more straightforward. Many people exuded a strong smell of blood, and it was obvious that they had just killed someone.
Yang Hao took a quick look and then went straight to Zhenbaoxuan where the owner had changed.
Under the warm reception of the female greeter, Yang Hao came to the alchemy counter.
The first is the alchemy furnace.
Needless to say, the role of alchemy furnaces in elixir refining goes without saying. A good alchemy furnace can greatly increase the rate of elixir formation, and some can also increase the chance of producing high-quality elixirs.
An alchemy furnace is to an alchemist like a racing car to a racing driver.
Yang Hao was listening to the salesman's sales while looking at the alchemy furnace on the counter.
After comprehensive consideration, Yang Hao finally selected a first-level mid-level alchemy furnace called "Moon Wheel", which had the effect of slightly saving the spiritual power and medicinal materials consumed in alchemy.
The effect of this alchemy furnace can speed up the formation of alchemy skills, and the price is not expensive, only 75 spiritual stones are needed.
After selecting the alchemy furnace, Yang Hao began to choose the elixir recipe.
Naturally, it was impossible to go as far as to refine those high-level elixirs when he had just started, so Yang Hao only bought the first-level low-grade spirit-melting elixir recipe, which cost him 10 spirit stones.
After practicing this, he can use it to improve his cultivation, and the difficulty is relatively low, so it is naturally his first choice.
Finally, there are books related to alchemy and the medicinal materials required for the spirit-melting elixir.
A copy of "Alchemy from Getting Started to Entering the Earth" contains 15 spiritual stones.
Five hundred ingredients for the Spirit Fusion Pill and 500 Spirit Stones. In principle, one piece of material can produce up to twenty pills.
The above purchases consumed a total of 600 spirit stones, which directly reduced Yang Hao's worth by more than 90%. However, with the skill panel, he believed that the investment was worth it.
In addition, for Yang Hao, a big customer, Zhenbaoxuan also gave him two additional storage bags, so he didn't have to worry about carrying alchemy materials.
...
After the purchase was completed, Yang Hao did not stay too long and returned directly to the cave with items related to alchemy.
He took out the Moon Wheel Pill Furnace, placed it on the table, and then placed the medicinal materials needed to refine the Spirit Fusion Pill around one by one.
Refining the Ling Ling Pill only requires three medicinal materials, namely Wind Ling Fruit, Zhi Ye and Ju Ling Cao.
The quantity of medicinal materials is so small, which greatly reduces the difficulty of refining.
Even so, it is still difficult for people who have never been exposed to alchemy.
Yang Hao did not expect to succeed the first time. After carefully studying "Alchemy from Getting Started to Entering the Earth", he input his spiritual power into the alchemy furnace and tried to make alchemy.
Wow -
a cluster of orange-red flames suddenly emerged from the alchemy furnace, beating continuously.
Yang Hao adjusted the size and speed of the input spiritual power, and the flames grew larger and smaller, flickering brightly and dimly. This experience was quite new.
After playing for a while, Yang Hao's face straightened. According to the steps and the Ling-Rong Pill recipe explained in the book, he first threw the Wind Spirit Fruit into the flame, and then waited until it turned into a ball of liquid, then added the Zhi Ye and Ju Ling Pill. Put the grass into it, wrap it with spiritual power, adjust the heat, and finally let the three slowly merge together.
During the process, Yang Hao needs to pay attention to his condition at all times, which requires high spiritual control ability.
About half an hour later, there was an explosion in the alchemy furnace, and a burning smell rose up.
Obviously, Yang Hao's first alchemy failed.
He was not discouraged. After pouring out the residue, he recalled the mistake he made in his previous technique, kept it in mind, and tried again.
...
Three days later, late at night.
Attempt 51.
Yang Hao's face was full of exhaustion, but the elixir fire controlled by his spiritual power was not messy at all, burning the mixed liquid in the furnace smoothly.
As time passed slowly, the water in the liquid became less and less, and the ingredients inside gradually fused and took shape in the baking of the alchemy fire.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and Yang Hao heard a crisp buzzing sound. He suddenly became energetic and looked attentively.
A dark pill lay quietly at the bottom of the pill furnace, surrounded by other unformed waste.
"It finally worked!"
Yang Hao laughed, and the fatigue and depression accumulated in the past three days were swept away.
He picked up the hard-won elixir with his fingers and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
Although its appearance was obviously just a low-quality elixir, Yang Hao didn't dislike it at all.
Because it was a stepping stone, opening the door to alchemy for him.
From then on, with the help of the skill panel, Yang Hao was bound to make rapid progress on the road to alchemy.
After the joy passed, Yang Hao came back to his senses and opened the skill panel to check his status.
Name: Yang Hao
Essence: 12224
Skills:
1. Xiao Yun Yu, lv7 (transcendence to sainthood), cannot be upgraded
2. Talisman making, lv0 (not yet started), 2565/5000

6. Alchemy, lv0 (not yet started), 1/5000
(1) Fusion of Spirit Pill, At lv0 (not yet started), the 1/500
alchemy skill is at the top, and like the talisman-making skill, there are sub-skills below.
The number of essences reached 12,224 because Yang Hao had snatched the head of the person in the late stage of Qi refining.
With so much essence, Yang Hao naturally did not intend to save, so he first invested five thousand essences in the Ling Ling Dan.
After the memory instillation, Alchemy was raised to lv1, and Spirit Fusion Pill was raised to lv3, and each of them unlocked their entries.
Yang Hao first looked at the entries for the Spirit Fusion Pill:
lv1: Spiritual Power Conversion Rate +15%
lv2: Spiritual Power Conversion Rate +20%
lv3: Spiritual Power Conversion Rate +25%
Three simple entries, but Yang Hao is very Satisfied, the elixir used for cultivation does not need to be so fancy. It would be best if it could increase his cultivation speed more.
Then he looked at the entry added to Alchemy Level 1.
It didn't matter if he didn't see it. He was shocked when he saw it. He didn't expect that the entry for unlocking such a big skill would be so powerful.
