Chapter 21 Spiritual Fire Formula
The development of the matter was completely beyond Long Xuan's expectations. He had originally thought that as a novice, he would have to endure a lot of failures before he could succeed, and he was ready to be frustrated.
Who would have thought that alchemy was so simple for him, as simple as drinking water and eating, so simple that he couldn't come back to his senses and wondered if he was dreaming.
He had refined a full hundred spiritual herbs in a short time, and the essence of the purified spiritual herbs was put into a hundred medicine bottles and neatly placed on the table.
The success rate was frighteningly high. Except for a few spiritual herbs that were burned to ashes in an instant because the fire was too fierce and there was no time to remedy it, the rest of the spiritual herbs had almost no mistakes.
With the help of this golden finger, he dared not say that his success rate in alchemy would be 100%, but the success rate would definitely be much higher than that of other alchemists, even Old Long could not compare with him.
Long Xuan was very excited. This was simply a pleasant surprise. In this way, he was really suitable to be an alchemist, and he was an alchemist with a demonic talent. He was born to eat this bowl of rice.
Now that the materials have been refined, the next step is to put all the essences of spiritual medicines into the alchemy furnace according to the proportion, so that they can be fused and solidified under high temperature, and condensed into pills under the power of the soul.
This step is a great test of the power of the soul. Once there is a mistake, all the materials will be destroyed, and the half-day spent on refining spiritual medicines will be wasted.
Once this step fails, many people will often collapse, especially when spiritual medicines are extremely expensive.
However, Long Xuan was not panicked at this time. He poured the essences of various spiritual medicines into the alchemy furnace in order and proportion, then lit a fire to heat it, and used his soul power to carefully observe the situation in the alchemy furnace to fully fuse all the liquid medicines.
As expected, soon after all the essences of spiritual medicines were poured into the alchemy furnace, the progress of alchemy appeared again as expected. When the progress reached 100%, it was the day of the pill.
Once the progress is unstable this time, it may not only be a problem of flame temperature, but also a problem of soul control, or a problem of operation method. There are more problems to pay attention to, and Long Xuan is more careful.
As time went by, Long Xuan's forehead gradually showed sweat, his expression was extremely nervous, his nerves were tense, and he dared not relax at all.
Although he was an inexperienced novice and it was his first time to make an elixir, he could make mistakes everywhere, but with the progress cheating, he really completed it without any danger.
Until the progress on the alchemy furnace finally reached 100%, Long Xuan was overjoyed and could no longer control himself. He quickly walked over and opened the alchemy furnace.
In an instant, the rich fragrance of the elixir overflowed, and wisps of white mist floated from the alchemy furnace. The pleasant fragrance of the elixir instantly filled the whole room, which shocked Long Xuan's spirit and he couldn't help but take a long breath through his nose.
Looking carefully, the alchemy furnace was full of golden elixirs, which were big and round. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but it seemed to be shining, which made Long Xuan fascinated.
He was proud enough to be able to make such a result in his first alchemy.
Since there were so many materials, the number of elixirs in the alchemy furnace was surprisingly high, with 9981 pills in total.
This was considered a full batch of Baihua Pills, which meant that the steps of alchemy were perfect and not a single pill was wasted.
It was difficult for many alchemists to have a furnace of elixirs without a single wasted pill.
The only pity was that the flame was too ordinary and the effect of removing impurities was not very good, so the quality of the elixir was not very perfect, but Long Xuan was already satisfied.
According to this success rate and output rate, he could eat elixirs as a meal every day. If he ate dozens of pills every day, his cultivation would soar like a rocket.
Long Xuan immediately grabbed a few Baihua Pills and threw them into his mouth, then put all the remaining Baihua Pills into the pill bottle and put them away.
Since he was so gifted in alchemy, he paid more attention to the research of the Ice God Flame. After putting away the alchemy furnace, he sat at the table and continued to study the recipe of the Ice God Flame.
He was too excited tonight and had no mood to sleep. He was ready to work hard and stay up all night...
...
With the Hundred Flowers Pill, Long Xuan's cultivation, which had hardly increased, finally showed some movement, and it increased rapidly every day.
Long Xuan's daily life was still a straight line. He would hide at home to work on the formula of the Spirit Fire, eat a few Hundred Flowers Pills when he was hungry, and eat a few Spirit Eggs from time to time to supplement his nutrition to avoid malnutrition.
Or he would go to the market to pick up bargains at the stalls, and from time to time he would be the stall owner himself, selling the useless things he picked up for spirit stones.
The spirit stones he sold were used to exchange for the materials that had been determined in the formula of the Ice God Flame.
As time went by, his alchemy skills became more and more sophisticated. He also cracked the formulas of all the waste pills he bought. In addition to the part of the formula he sneaked a peek at from Old Long from time to time, the number of formulas he mastered was not small.
Alchemy is a very lucrative profession. After learning a few general recipes, Long Xuan immediately changed his appearance and set up a stall in the market, specializing in selling elixirs.
As expected, his stall was very popular. Every time he opened the stall, all kinds of elixirs would be quickly sold out, and he didn't need to wait for long.
His success rate in refining pills was almost 100%. He rarely wasted materials every time he refined pills, and he often made full pills, which meant that his profit from refining pills was much higher than that of other alchemists.
He made a lot of money every time, which made him smile from ear to ear.
However, after doing it a few times, he decided not to do it again.
On the one hand, refining pills was too time-consuming, which delayed his time to study the formula of spiritual fire.
On the other hand, although spiritual pills were high-end products, they were not as valuable as Gu worms.
After all, spiritual pills were disposable, while Gu worms were permanent and could benefit from them for life.
All the pill recipes he mastered were the lowest-grade first-grade pill recipes. Even if he refined three furnaces of healing pills, he could not earn as many spiritual stones as selling a small cockroach Gu.
What's more, refining pills takes time, while refining small cockroach Gu does not require watching over it, and you can leave to do other things.
In this comparison, it is not worth the loss, so Long Xuan only refined the Baihua Pill for himself and never refined pills for others again.
In this way, Long Xuan was refining the Baihua Pill while studying the formula of the spiritual fire. His progress was rapid. With the power of the Baihua Pill, he finally succeeded in breaking through the middle stage of the gathering spirit after a year.
At the same time, after a year of day and night research, he finally worked out the formula of the Ice God Flame.
The Ice God Flame formula has a total of 300 materials. It seems not much, but the materials are rarer and more valuable than one another.
The main material is the thousand-year ice marrow. Just by hearing the name of the thousand-year ice marrow, you should know how difficult it is to collect.
Many things you obviously can't buy with spirit stones, you can only get them by bartering and frequently participating in the Yibao Club.
In this world without prices, because there is no spirit stone as a reference standard, Long Xuan doesn't know how expensive the Ice God Flame formula is, and the concept is very vague.
But it is certain that the cost is far more than the cost of refining the Eye of Heaven.
This cost has far exceeded the cost of Long Lao refining the Purple Demon Flame, even more than ten times, which is simply outrageous.
With such a high cost, if the spiritual fire he created was not as powerful as the Purple Demon Flame, he would not believe anything.
A penny can make a hero fall. Where can he get such a huge resource? How long will it take to collect it? Long Xuan was completely confused.
