Chapter 13 Winds Rising From Wuyun Ridge
Liu Yuanchen came to the alchemy room again, took out the red copper furnace, and refined two furnaces of Bigu Pills.
He still had more than 30 kilograms of spiritual grains in his hand. Practicing the Qi and Blood Condensation Technique consumed a lot of Bigu Pills, so he simply refined them all into pills.
It took two days to refine all the spiritual grains into Bigu Pills, and 102 pills were made, with an average success rate of less than 60%.
Among them, there were more than 40 good Bigu Pills, and the others were also close to good.
Each furnace produced three or four pills, and most of them were three, and he could never make any further progress.
Then, he began to refine Huiling Pills.
In order to improve the success rate, he only refined two furnaces of pills every day.
After refining two furnaces of Huiling Pills, he summarized the shortcomings in the process of refining pills and improved them.
However, the success rate of pills still did not increase significantly.
Twenty portions of Huiling Pills can theoretically produce up to 200 pills, but in reality, 110 pills were produced, with a success rate of less than 60%, including 20 good Huiling Pills.
Moreover, refining Huiling Pills is the same as refining Bigu Pills before.
Each furnace produces five or six pills, and it is impossible to make further progress.
"My ability to refine essence is not inferior to those alchemy masters, and even stronger.
The success rate can never go up, and it can only be that the fire control level has reached a bottleneck."
The problem of fire control is the innate defect of all wood-attributed alchemists.
There are many ways to improve the ability to control fire. You can practice some fire control secrets, or you can improve the strength of your spiritual consciousness.
But neither the fire control secrets nor the secrets to improve spiritual consciousness can be obtained casually.
At least there is no such secret in the Liu family.
Even the Qingdan Sect attaches great importance to such secrets.
As a small disciple of the Yangqi Realm, I am really not qualified to learn it.
Even if I get the secret, it is a slow process and it is difficult to see results in a short period of time.
However, there are some special instruments that can make up for the problem of insufficient fire control ability.
Just like the red copper furnace he is using now, it has a similar effect, but it is too weak.
What Liu Yuanchen needs is the instrument that is specifically used to control fire, not the furnace with fire control ability.
However, this kind of instrument is a special instrument, and few people refine it. It is still unclear whether Qinghe Town can buy it.
"Fire control instruments are not easy to buy, but Wanbao Chamber of Commerce may have such things.
In any case, you have to try your luck.
Even if you can increase the success rate of pills by 10%, you can increase your profits by a lot."
After making the decision, he did not refine the Qi-nourishing Pill again.
A Qi-nourishing Pill costs ten spirit stones, and a Qi-nourishing Pill costs three spirit stones. It is a pity to waste it.
It is better to get the fire-controlling instrument first, increase the success rate, and then try to refine the Qi-nourishing Pill.
Looking at the sky outside, the sun is already setting and hanging on the mountains in the west.
It will be completely dark in less than half an hour.
It is not appropriate to go to Qinghe Town at this time.
Counting the days, it took more than ten days to refine the elixir, plus the time spent practicing the Qi and Blood Condensation Technique in the Qingshi Mountain Blessed Land, it has been twenty days.
The spiritual grains in the blessed land should be ripe at this time.
Xiaoyu can loosen the soil and water the spiritual plants, but he has no ability to harvest.
"Go to Qingshi Mountain Blessed Land to harvest the golden silk rice first, and then go to the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce in Qinghe Town to have a look."
When it was completely dark, Liu Yuanchen set off for Qingshi Mountain Blessed Land.
When he arrived at the blessed land, the golden silk rice was indeed ripe, and the rice ears had completely turned yellow.
The heavy rice ears almost drooped to the ground.
Liu Yuanchen has been planting golden silk rice for many years, but this is the first time he has seen rice ears more than one foot long.
Before he could start harvesting, Xiaoyu woke up from his meditation.
He jumped up from the ground and landed on Liu Yuanchen's shoulders.
"Father, you were outside these days, you didn't get hurt, did you?"
Liu Yuanchen touched his head: "I'm fine, I'll run away when I'm in danger."
Then, Xiaoyu pointed to the spiritual valleys and said, "Father, I haven't been idle during the days you were away.
I watered, loosened the soil, and talked to the spiritual valleys. I provided whatever they needed.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to grow so many seeds."
Liu Yuanchen was a little curious: "Can you communicate with the spiritual valleys?"
Xiaoyu nodded: "Of course, my body is white jade ginseng, which is also a plant, and there is no obstacle to communicating with them.
It's just that they are too stupid, they don't understand many things, and I need to explain to them.
Talking to them is very tiring, it's easier to talk to you, father."
Liu Yuanchen Ginseng Fruit Seedling: "Can you communicate with it?"
Xiaoyu shook her head: "It should be able to understand what I say, but it ignores me, and I don't dare to get too close to it."
Liu Yuanchen was a little excited. Being able to communicate with plants and trees, this ability is very useful.
Whether it is to find precious spiritual plants or to avoid danger when traveling, it will be of great use.
When I become stronger, I can take Xiaoyu out to find some high-level spiritual plants.
It is definitely not possible now, as the value of a ginseng doll is extremely high.
Once it is exposed, I am afraid that the Ningyuan Patriarch of Qingdan Sect will try to snatch it.
I can't protect him with my strength.
He took out the sickle from the storage bag and harvested the golden silk rice while chatting with Xiaoyu.
After processing, he got 20 kilograms of golden silk rice.
He was a little surprised. The blessed land was not that big.
Golden Silk Rice only occupies about one-third of the land in Blessed Land, and the area is about one-fortieth of an acre.
This output, converted into yield per mu, is 800 kilograms.
In the spiritual field at the Qingdan Sect’s mountain gate, an attempt was made to use the fourth-level spiritual field to grow golden rice.
All means were used, and the output was only more than 400 kilograms.
Xiaoyu is responsible for taking care of the blessed land, and the output has nearly doubled.
Fudi and Xiaoyu really gave Liu Yuanchen a bigger surprise.
He selected the plumper ones from the newly harvested golden rice as seeds and sowed them again.
During the sowing process, he discovered that there were some open spaces on the edge of the blessed land again.
The diameter of the entire blessed land is already three feet and three inches.
In just twenty days, the diameter of the blessed land increased by two inches.
Liu Yuanchen was a little curious. The increase in the scope of the blessed land last time could be linked to his improvement in cultivation.
But from the last time I came here to now, I have only practiced the Qi and Blood Condensation Technique, but I have not improved my cultivation level.
Why is the scope of blessed land increasing?
Could it be that the blessed land continues to grow in size during the process of absorbing spiritual energy, or that the blessed land should have grown even larger since he broke through the realm last time.
It's just that this process proceeds slowly. Is the blessed land increasing this time because the energy from last time was not used up?
He sighed softly: "Although the techniques created by Immortal Zhenyuan are brilliant, they are a bit unrealistic!
Especially the content of the sermons, most of them were very mysterious and I could only hear a general outline.
The only thing that is relatively simple is the technique. "
"However, those who are qualified to listen to the sermons of Immortal Zhenyuan are ordinary people?
My talent is incomparable to others.
Being able to get a blessed land and a skill for free is already a blessing. "
Although the newly added open space is not much, it is still fertile land.
Liu Yuanchen did not let them go and planted golden rice on them all.
Nowadays, practicing Qi and Blood Condensation Technique consumes more and more golden silk rice.
After taking care of the work in the spiritual field, Liu Yuanchen did not stay in the blessed land for long.
Before dawn, we quickly returned to Yujin Mountain.
The eastern sky gradually revealed a hint of red clouds, and the black fog near Yujin Mountain quickly dissipated.
By the time Chaoyang revealed half of his face, the black mist had disappeared.
Liu Yuanchen also activated the cave's defensive formation and left Yujin Mountain for Qinghe Town.
Along the way, he met many casual cultivators.
Moreover, most of these casual cultivators were injured.
Liu Yuanchen was a little surprised. It was not easy to survive in the red wasteland, and there were indeed many fights between casual cultivators for resources.
But everyone is relatively rational. Once the injury is serious, they will become the hunting target of many casual cultivators.
If you want to quickly recover from your injuries, you need to spend spiritual stones and buy healing elixirs.
For casual cultivators, every piece of spiritual stone must be carefully calculated.
Without huge benefits, casual cultivators try to avoid fights.
After arriving in Qinghe Town, Liu Yuanchen went straight to Liu's Pill Shop.
Seeing him arriving, Liu Qingfeng's face burst into laughter.
"Nephew Yuan Chen, are you here to sell pills again this time?"
Liu Yuanchen nodded and took out a cloth bag with eighty spirit-reviving pills in it.
Among them, there are ten good-quality Huiling Pills and seventy near-good ones.
Upon seeing these elixirs, Liu Qingfeng's eyes were full of astonishment: "Xiannephew Yuan Chen, your refining rate of refining the elixirs is 40%?
There are actually ten good-quality pills among them, and the other Spirit-Restoring Pills are also close to good-grade ones. "
Liu Yuanchen chuckled lightly: "In the ancestral land of Dongyang Lake, the great elder gave me the alchemy inheritance collected by the family and the experiences summarized by the clan members.
After some insights, my alchemy level improved slightly. "
Liu Qingfeng's face was full of excitement: "Okay, it seems that you are extremely talented in alchemy.
It won't be long before our Liu family will have a second-level alchemist.
Nephew Yuan Chen, do you need to purchase some more elixirs? "
"Of course I have to buy some more elixirs, but I need to buy a magic weapon first."
Liu Qingfeng nodded and took out a storage bag: "Here are one hundred spiritual stones. You can accept them first."
Liu Yuanchen was a little surprised: "Uncle Six, the Spiritual Recovery Pill is a spiritual stone.
Even if the price of the high-quality Spiritual Recovery Pill is increased by 10%, it will only be 81 Spiritual Stones. Why do you give so much? "
Liu Qingfeng smiled and said: "You are over there in Yujin Mountain, and you don't have much information. You don't know what's going on outside.
Now that the price of the Spiritual Recovery Pill has increased by 20%, your Spiritual Recovery Pills are worth more than ninety spiritual stones.
I'll give you a hundred spiritual stones, but only a few more, even if I'm helping you make elixirs. "
Liu Yuanchen was even more confused: "Since I started practicing, the price of the Spirit Recovery Pill has been very stable and has never fluctuated. What happened this time?"
Liu Qingfeng's face was full of joy: "Speaking of which, this matter is still related to the ancient monk cave of Black Wolf Valley."
"A lot of good things came out of the ancient monk's cave, which caused many casual cultivators to fight.
How many good things can be hidden in a cave? Many casual cultivators who had not gained anything were unwilling to give up and searched around.
The north is the territory of the Qingdan Sect, and they dare not make any mistakes, but the south is an unclaimed land, and casual cultivators have flocked there.
It turned out that there were many cases of springs drying up and pools and lakes drying up. "
“The pools and lakes on Wuyun Ridge have existed for countless years, and there are quite a few spiritual fish that have reached the first level.
There are also spiritual objects that have sunk into the water, and some mineral veins that were hidden deep in the water have been exposed.
These spiritual objects have caused many casual cultivators to fight for them. In the past month, the casual cultivators in the south have not stopped.
Once they start to make trouble, how can the price of elixirs such as Huilingdan be low? "
"By the way, nephew Yuanchen, the best-selling ones now are healing elixirs such as hemostatic powder and muscle-growing pills. The price has risen by 50%.
If you have time, you can make more hemostatic powder and muscle-growing pills, and you will definitely make a lot of money. "
Liu Yuanchen nodded slightly, and then left the medicine shop.
He was in a state of shock. The time when the spiritual spring in Black Wolf Valley dried up coincided with the time when he opened up the blessed land.
The big commotion in Wuyun Ridge now was probably caused by his opening up the blessed land.
After having the blessed land, Liu Yuanchen just wanted to practice in a stable environment.
Now the casual cultivators nearby are in a mess, and it is becoming more and more difficult to practice in peace.
After coming out of the medicine shop, he went straight to Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.
Before he took a few steps, he met several Qingdan Sect disciples who were walking towards him.
One of them was Zhang Jingcheng who had gone to Yujin Mountain to collect spiritual valleys before.
Liu Yuanchen stepped forward and saluted: "Hello, Senior Brother Zhang, hello, senior brothers."
Zhang Jingcheng smiled and said: "Junior Brother Liu, what a coincidence, I met you here."
"I came out to purchase cultivation resources, but Senior Brother Zhang rarely comes to Qinghe Town. "
Senior Brother Zhang sighed: "Don't mention it. I don't know what happened on Wuyun Ridge. Many pools and lakes have dried up, and some ancient caves and mineral veins have been exposed.
The superiors sent people to investigate and found that some mineral veins are of high value.
But the traces of the disciples of the Demon Cloud Sect appeared there. The superiors were worried that they would cause trouble, so they sent people to expel the evil cultivators of the Demon Cloud Sect.
Now, the hard job fell on us. "
After chatting for a while, Liu Yuanchen's anxiety became even worse.
The appearance of the disciples of the Demon Cloud Sect near the territory of the Qingdan Sect may cause a conflict between the two sects, or even a battle between good and evil.
Once the war breaks out, both my father and myself may be called up to the battlefield.
Before, I was just a first-class middle-grade spiritual pharmacist, and my value to the sect was not great.
Disciples with poor talents and little value are most likely to become cannon fodder in the first wave of battles, and Zhang Jingcheng and others are cannon fodder.
Once they are called up, let alone practicing peacefully, they are in danger of death at any time.
If you don't want to be cannon fodder, you must show His own value.
Liu Yuanchen secretly made up his mind to improve his alchemy level to the first-class upper grade as soon as possible, and then return to the mountain gate to join the alchemy hall.
As long as it is not a life-and-death moment, the sect will never send alchemists to the battlefield.
If he joins the alchemy hall, his status will be greatly improved, and his father will be safe.
After all, he may become a second-class alchemist.
And his father is the bond between him and the family. Once his father goes to the battlefield and there is a bump, he and the family may become enemies.
The head of the family and the elder are both smart people. Even if they sacrifice the main lineage, they will not send their father to the battlefield.
