Chapter 135 Promotion

It seems that he understood what Shan Qin said.

Wei Zhong is just an alchemist, and he has been practicing hard for nearly a hundred years. If it is said that his fighting ability is good, it will be difficult for the public to believe it.

‘It seems that I won’t get much fame even if I claim to defeat this person. ’

Wanyan Fu looked at Wei Zhong and pondered.

“By the way, Fellow Daoist Wei is now the fourth-level alchemist seed nominated by this chamber of commerce.”

Wanyan Fu was stunned when he heard this, and looked up at Wei Zhong with some disbelief in his eyes.

‘Just such a small casual cultivator can have such great skills. ’

‘The preciousness of the fourth-level alchemist is needless to say, even in a large sect like the Shadow Moon Sect, it is extremely rare.

He is respected by the whole sect, and even his own arrogant master is very polite to him. ’

“Why, Fellow Daoist Wanyan doesn’t believe it? Fellow Daoist, do you understand why I abandoned the secret realm and came to this small spiritual island?”

As soon as Shan Qin said this, Wanyan Fu understood instantly.

This was the only reason that could make the eldest lady of Yunji Chamber of Commerce give up the secret realm.

"No wonder, no wonder!"

Wanyan Fu, who had figured out the cause and effect, looked at Wei Zhong with a changed look.

"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Wei was not only extremely powerful, but also had such alchemy skills."

"Fellow Daoist Wanyan, thank you very much!"

At this time, Wei Zhong maintained a dignified smile on his face.

'Showing my potential as a fourth-level alchemist is beneficial to me at this moment. '

Wei Zhong knew clearly that the existence of a fourth-level alchemist was also extremely precious to the Yuanying forces, as can be seen from the fact that Shan Qin came to Qingbo Island this time to deliver the inheritance.

In contrast, the same is true for the Yingyue Sect.

As a direct disciple, if Wanyan Fu made friends with a fourth-level alchemist outside, it would be a great network of contacts.

Although there are two fourth-level alchemists in the Yingyue Sect, they are extremely busy with the tasks of the sect.

The requests for alchemy from the disciples are all scheduled for more than ten years later.

After all, the other party could not be an alchemy machine, but needed to practice.

Although he had the right to jump the queue as Wanyan Fu's direct disciple, he was still behind the sect's tasks, Yuanying masters and some Jindan elders.

Now, submitting an alchemy request requires at least five or six years.

And if you ask Wei Zhong in front of you, wouldn't it be completed in a few months or a year?

Wanyan Fu, who figured out the key here, immediately became more enthusiastic about Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong talked and laughed with the other party, but his heart was like a mirror.

'Wanyan Fu is so polite to me because he is promoted to a fourth-level alchemist. '

If I have not been promoted for a long time, I am afraid I will not be treated like this.

The three returned to Qingbo Island, and Ling Ziwei opened a formation to welcome them. The fighting just now also startled the other party from his retreat.

When he appeared, Wanyan Fu just greeted him politely, and did not pester him like before.

The four of them talked for a few hours, and Shan Qin and Wanyan Fu left one after another.

After all, there is still a secret realm waiting to be developed. As the person in charge of this matter for the two major forces, it is not easy to spare time to come to Qingbo Island.

"When did Wanyan Fu become so polite to my husband?"

Ling Ziwei asked curiously after seeing the two leave.

Wei Zhong smiled lightly:

"It's just that I saw your husband's potential and wanted to make friends with him. How can the direct disciples of such a big sect be truly like-minded?"

Shaking his head, Wei Zhong said goodbye to Ling Ziwei and secretly returned to the cave.

He took out the fourth-level alchemy inheritance that Shan Qin had just brought and studied it carefully.

······

Half a year passed, and Wei Zhong put down the jade slip in his hand and sighed.

'The fourth-level alchemy is not difficult, but the spiritual medicine used for alchemy is too rare. '

The difficulty of training an alchemist, in addition to the inheritance of the method, is the large amount of medicinal materials used for practice.

The reason why Wei Zhong was able to make rapid progress in the way of alchemy and enter the third level was that he consumed a lot of spirit stones.

Every senior alchemist cannot avoid this point in their training. Even Wei Zhong, who has a proficiency panel, is no exception.

The leap from the third level to the fourth level is not difficult for an alchemist with deep accumulation like Wei Zhong.

[Third level alchemy·Water·Master (43%)]

[Third level alchemy·Fire·Master (12%)]

Being able to refine the Blood Gang Pill with the ten thousand year old blood ginseng as the spiritual material, although it is still the third level, being able to control the medicinal power of such a high-level spiritual medicine is enough to show that Wei Zhong's alchemy skills are profound.

Both the water and fire methods are at the master level of proficiency, but it's a pity that he can't wait until he is promoted to the master to get a glimpse of the mystery.

That's right, Wei Zhong is now planning to enter the realm of the fourth level alchemist.

Although he said to Shan Qin that it would be ten years later, it was just an excuse.

With Wei Zhong's powerful accumulation, why wait so long? As long as the fourth-level inheritance is obtained, the breakthrough will be a matter of course.

With this alchemy technique, daily practice will be much more convenient. Thinking of the ten thousand year old elixir in the cave, Wei Zhong is more eager.

Now Wei Zhong only has two ten thousand year old elixir, ten thousand year old Ganoderma lucidum and ten thousand year old blood ginseng, and the fourth-level elixir that can be refined is relatively limited.

After reading the fourth-level inheritance, Wei Zhong intends to select one of the elixir recipes for refining.

Its name is Blood Ginseng Pill, which is a genuine fourth-level elixir, mainly used to repair the body of Yuanying cultivators. It is an extremely powerful healing elixir.

The medicine is overbearing and is only suitable for daily healing. It is necessary to refine the medicine with all your heart and soul, and not to be careless.

Such a terrifying fourth-level elixir is no better than poison for Jindan cultivators.

Just one pill, the huge medicinal power in it is enough to burst the cultivator's body.

The reason why Wei Zhong chose this elixir is that it is one of the fourth-level elixirs with the lowest difficulty in refining.

You only need to use this to improve the alchemy skills to the fourth level, and then refine the third-level elixir, you can gradually promote the proficiency of the fourth-level alchemy.

If the proficiency is high, you can start refining other fourth-level elixirs.

"Adding the five thousand year old Qingxuan root, you can improve the blood ginseng pill and refine the earth Xuan pill."

Compared to the blood ginseng pill, this pill has a milder medicinal power and is a very precious healing pill among the fourth-level elixirs.

It has a large market among Yuanying cultivators. In the future, Wei Zhong can use this pill to open up the purchase channel of the fourth-level spiritual objects.

It is precisely because of the lack of this kind of precious medicine that the blood ginseng pill leads to the domineering medicinal power. After the Qingxuan root neutralizes it, even Jindan cultivators can use it.

After getting familiar with the refining process of the Blood Ginseng Pill, Wei Zhong took out most of the spiritual medicines needed for the alchemy.

Then he took out a jade box and gently fiddled with the surface of the jade box with two fingers.

It turned out that there was a layer of paper covering the jade box, which was the mysterious drawing paper in Wei Zhong's hand.

After Wei Zhong engraved the breath-retaining and invisibility runes on it, its effect of concealing spiritual power was greatly improved.

Although it cannot hide the body of a cultivator like the invisible robe, it is very good for blocking the power of spiritual medicine.

Covering the surface of the jade box with this can prevent the leakage of medicinal power and preserve the spiritual medicine in the box.

Uncover the drawing paper, open the jade box, and half a blood ginseng appears in it.

This is the half left after Wei Zhong refined the Blood Gang Pill.

Wei Zhong plans to take a part of it to test the water first.

Using spiritual power to cut off a part of it, Wei Zhong started to refine the pill.

This time, he used the fire refining technique.

A three-foot-tall furnace appeared, with dense cloud patterns on it. It was made by Wei Zhong a few years ago using a third-level spiritual iron, which is suitable for fire alchemy.

Golden flowing flames appeared on his fingers. Under Wei Zhong's control, the color of the golden flowing flames gradually became darker.

Until it turned into the one used in the previous battle with Wanyan Fu.

"Third-level top-grade, probably enough."

Although it is to refine fourth-level elixirs, there is no high requirement for the temperature of the spiritual fire.

Alchemy is different from refining tools. It is not that the higher the temperature of the spiritual fire, the better, but it is reflected in the precise control of the temperature of the spiritual fire by the cultivator.

Wei Zhong's golden flowing flame is suitable for this.

Put it into the furnace, Wei Zhong puts in various spiritual medicines in turn.

In just half a day, a puff of black smoke came out of the furnace.

As expected, the first refining ended in failure.

Wei Zhong's expression did not change at all. This loss is still affordable.

Wei Zhong looked at the incomplete blood ginseng in the jade box. This half was probably enough for four refinings.

After cleaning the furnace, Wei Zhong carefully reviewed the refining process just now, counted the mistakes, and started refining the elixir again a day later.

The second time, failed.

The third time, still failed.

The fourth time was still a failure, until the last small piece of blood ginseng was used up, Wei Zhong still failed.

"The difficulty of the fourth-level elixir is indeed beyond the third-level level below it."

At this moment, Wei Zhong's expression was a little moved.

"I have been using the water refining method to refine elixirs for a long time, and I have neglected the fire method too much.

Moreover, the Golden Flowing Flame is mostly used to fight against enemies or refine weapons, and the control is not precise enough."

[Golden Flowing Flame·Mastery·(93%)]

"Perhaps it is necessary to improve this method to the master level before refining elixirs?"

Wei Zhong made this decision after pondering for a while.

Although he still had two thousand-year-old blood ginsengs in his hands, they could not withstand such a waste.

After putting away the alchemy furnace and the spiritual medicine, Wei Zhong began to practice the magic of Golden Flowing Flame.

"The grade and power of Golden Flowing Flame are not directly linked to the proficiency. The biggest impact is the output share and speed of spiritual power.

This is also the reason why I can use the third-grade upper-grade Golden Flowing Flame at the proficient level.

If I can improve the precision of control and enter the master proficiency, I can not only control the power changes, but also use my own Dan-forming magic power to obtain the fourth-grade Golden Flowing Flame..."

In this way, Wei Zhong concentrated on practicing this magic. After two years, he brushed the proficiency of this art to the master level.

"The precision of control has indeed improved greatly, but it still cannot be refined into the fourth level.

It is not a problem of proficiency, but my own spiritual power is not strong enough. I probably have to enter the middle or late stage of Dan-forming before considering this matter."

During these two years, Wei Zhong also went out several times to inquire about the exploration progress of that secret realm.

Surprisingly, even though the four Yuanying forces came together, they seemed to have difficulty in this secret realm and made little progress.

The fairy of the Wang family, who possessed both the identities of a fourth-level formation master and a Yuanying cultivator, had not left the secret realm for two years.

Wei Zhong was not the person involved and did not know the details, so he asked Shan Qin about it.

Shan Qin trusted Wei Zhong, a fourth-level alchemist seed, enough. He said frankly that this secret realm could not be cracked in a short time.

Wei Zhong did not ask too many questions. After purchasing some spiritual medicines, he turned around and returned to Qingbo Island. He stepped into the cave to continue his alchemy career.

It was just a secret realm, not the kind that was placed in front of Wei Zhong for him to take, so it had limited appeal to Wei Zhong.

‘It is better to go back to your own cave and refine the elixir well. Entering the fourth-level alchemist is a real improvement. ’

In the cave, Wei Zhong solemnly took out a ten-thousand-year-old blood ginseng.

This blood ginseng is slightly larger than the previous one. According to Wei Zhong’s estimation, it is enough for twelve times of alchemy.

After cutting off a small part, Wei Zhong started to refine the elixir again.

The master-level proficiency of the golden flow flame was thrown into the furnace.

Half a day later, the first failure was followed by the second failure.

Wei Zhong would summarize the experience every time he failed, which made the proficiency of the fire method alchemy technique rise rapidly, much faster than the previous third-level elixir.

Finally, during the third refining, a blood-colored elixir rushed out of the elixir furnace.

Wei Zhong’s spiritual power turned into a big hand and grabbed it in his hand, examining it carefully.

"There are some pits on the surface of the elixir, and the appearance is not good, but it can be regarded as barely reaching the level of the fourth-level lower-grade elixir."

Wei Zhong did not try to test the elixir himself. With Wei Zhong's current cultivation, he could not withstand such a strong medicinal power. Even if he scraped off some of the powder, Wei Zhong was unwilling to take the risk.

After taking a look, Wei Zhong put away the elixir and looked at the panel. The level of the fire alchemy method had changed.

[Fourth-level Alchemy·Fire·Mastery (3%)]

"Falling directly into the mastery level? It almost reset the proficiency process. The gap between the fourth and third levels is really big."

Although the proficiency of alchemy has now retreated from master to master, Wei Zhong is better at refining third-level elixirs than before.

After cleaning the elixir furnace, Wei Zhong took out the spiritual materials for refining Haoyuan Dan, intending to compare and see how much he has improved.

One day later, ten elixir pills appeared in Wei Zhong's hands, five of the upper grade, five of the middle grade, and no lower grade.

In order to verify the accuracy, Wei Zhong refined two more furnaces.

The second furnace also had a fifty-fifty split, while the third furnace had six high-grade pills and four medium-grade pills.

The results made Wei Zhong very happy.

"It is probably possible to refine Hao Yuan Dan with a half-high-grade and half-medium-grade pills now, which is a far cry from the previous thirty-seven split."

The improvement was so great that Wei Zhong couldn't help but smack his lips.

"It seems that I will have to do more business with high-grade Hao Yuan Dan in the future.

Luohe Mansion can't consume so many high-grade Hao Yuan Dan, and it will probably have to go through the channel of Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

But it is also a good opportunity for Shan Qin and the senior executives of the Chamber of Commerce to see my improvement in alchemy skills, so as to attract more investment."

Wei Zhong tasted the sweetness of the fourth-level inheritance this time. If Wei Zhong were to collect this high-level inheritance, I don't know how much it would cost.

Thinking of this, he stopped refining the fourth-level blood ginseng pill.

This pill is not very useful to Wei Zhong, and refining more is a pure waste of spiritual medicine.

Now that his alchemy skills have entered the fourth level, Wei Zhong can refine third-level pills in large quantities to improve his proficiency in fourth-level alchemy skills.
