Chapter 418 Automatic Alchemy Machine

The first to compete were the Qi training cultivators. Jian Jun watched and talked to Jiang Li, "Sect Master Bai Hongtu seems to like to divide the levels. I heard that he once advocated dividing the elixirs into nine levels, from grade one to grade nine, with grade one being the highest and grade nine being the lowest. But for some reason, there was no news about him later."

"The reason is very simple. The basis for the classification of elixirs is their efficacy, and the grade of some elixirs is difficult to determine. For example, the Yang-strengthening Pill produced by the Hehuan Sect can be taken by everyone from the Nascent Soul stage to the Qi training stage. Do you think that the Yang-strengthening Pill is of the ninth grade or the fifth grade?"

"Aphrodisiac pill?" Jian Jun was unfamiliar with the name of the pill.

"Oh yes, in your time it was called Hehuan Dan."

"Anti-drug pills, for example, can detoxify poisons below the Golden Core stage, but it's hard to determine the grade."

"For example, the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill is of the highest grade and most toxic. Anyone who eats it will die."

The Sword Master asked again: "What about the classification of grades based on the difficulty of refining?"

"Good question. I guess in the Sword Lord's time, the effect of the elixir was directly proportional to the difficulty of refining it. It's different now."

Jiang Li pointed at Su Wei and said, "Did you see that guy called Su Wei? He was the first to create a medicine called Fuqi Pill. It takes 9981 days to make a pill. It contains more than 10 kinds of precious main medicines and thousands of auxiliary medicines. When the pill is made, there will be a pill thunder."

"Such an amazing elixir, how effective is it?"

"It will increase the success rate of Qi training cultivators in building their foundation by 20%."

"What?" Jian Jun thought he had heard it wrong. Based on the complicated process, he would believe it if it allowed a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage to break through to the Fusion Stage.

And you told me that this is for the Qi training stage? "He created the Qi Fu Dan not for consumption, but for showing off his skills. The efficacy is secondary."

"Later, the leader of the Spiritual Medicine Sect, Huang Chengdan, was unwilling to be outdone and also created a pill that was very complicated to refine, but its effect was worse than drinking boiled water."

"These two fought and created a lot of similar pill recipes."

"Later, the alchemy community created a term to describe the behavior of these two people."

"What is it?"

"Water Pill Recipe."

“…”

In the competition, many young alchemists in the Qi training stage showed their skills, wanting to display their creative alchemy techniques in front of the elders in the alchemy world and attract attention.

This conference was hosted by the Lingyao Sect. They provided each contestant with a non-intelligent alchemy furnace for use in the competition. However, some people took a different approach and did not want to use the alchemy furnace provided by the Lingyao Sect.

For example, Jiang Li noticed a young alchemist taking out a nuclear energy induction cooker to make pills.

The nuclear induction cooker was imported from the world of chiming bells.

"Ten grams of flos praecox, sixteen point eight grams of dried sandworms...put them into the wall breaking machine, start it, pour the powder into the pot..." The young alchemist muttered the steps, following the plan step by step, and carried out the alchemy in an orderly manner. It seemed rigid, but the effect was unexpectedly good.

Jiang Li nodded gently: "Qi training cultivators have too low a cultivation level and are not good at controlling the temperature of flames. This induction cooker is much more convenient."

"Also, the alchemist has to do two things at once, controlling the flame temperature while adding the medicinal materials. This is too difficult for those in the Qi training stage. Using an induction cooker can also avoid this problem."

“It’s innovative, which is good.”

In addition to using induction cookers to make elixirs, there are also a series of kitchen utensils imported from the world of bells, such as electric rice cookers and nuclear thermal cookers, that are used to make elixirs, and the results are very good.

Using these things to make pills seems to be different from the overall style of the Jiuzhou world, but the effect is just as Jiang Li analyzed, quite brilliant.

In the end, the alchemy furnace won first place, a talented and orthodox young alchemist won second place, but the third place went to the person who used the induction cooker.

You know, the third place's alchemy talent is far from excellent, it's just average.

The leader of Lingyao Sect nodded with satisfaction. The third place was exactly the disciple of Lingyao Sect. This disciple proved that lack of talent could be made up with external forces.

What they, the Lingyao Sect, have never pursued is number one, but rather sales volume and price.

Using induction cookers and rice cookers to make pills means that the cost of training low-level alchemists will be greatly reduced, and the output of pills will increase. In the low-end market, Alchemy Peak will definitely not be able to compete with them.

When it came to the Foundation Establishment Stage Competition, a certain alchemist took out something that had never been seen before.

"Everyone, please take a look. This is the automatic alchemy machine developed jointly by our Luban Sect and a pharmaceutical group in the Mingzhong World. You only need to put the raw materials of the elixir into it, and it will automatically produce the elixir."

As the alchemist spoke, he put the pill in. As the machine shook gently, black pills came out one by one.

His elixir refining speed is faster than any other alchemist or alchemy furnace present.

"Look, this way we can refine Peiyuan Pills, and the utilization rate of medicinal materials is over 40%. If we continue to research and develop, we can continue to increase the utilization rate of medicinal materials."

The elders in the alchemy world were all very surprised. A 40% utilization rate of medicinal materials was not low for an alchemist in the foundation-building stage.

"Oh, pure machine production, no soul." Some elders also disdained this production method, believing that it deviated from the original intention of alchemy.

However, considering that the alchemists on the field were originally from the Lu Ban Sect, they had no original intention of making alchemy.

They just want to make money.

An old man in the alchemy world came forward to check: "It's a very ordinary Peiyuan Pill. The advantage is that it can be made quickly and saves manpower."

This automatic alchemy machine might be able to be promoted in Jiuzhou, and some veterans in the alchemy world came up with this idea.

Su Wei looked at the leader of the Spiritual Medicine Sect with interest: "Old Huang, why didn't your Spiritual Medicine Sect invent this thing, but was beaten to it by the Lu Ban Sect?"

"Do you think I haven't thought of this method? The efficiency of Luban Sect's thing is indeed fast, but how can it train a true alchemist?"

"This thing has great limitations and cannot be used to refine complex elixirs. If everyone uses Luban Sect's stuff, the number of alchemists will decrease. In the long run, the overall number of alchemists will decrease, and the number of high-level alchemists will also decrease. Who will be responsible for refining high-level elixirs?"

"I let the Qi training cultivators use induction cookers because they don't need to control the firepower at all. When they reach the foundation building stage, they can naturally solve the firepower problem. When they reach the golden elixir stage, they don't need the help of technology at all and can return to the original alchemist training route."

Although the Lingyao Sect likes to win by price, they are also alchemists and pursue higher levels of alchemy. They believe that over-reliance on full automation will only restrict themselves.

At this point, the leader of the Lingyao Sect frowned slightly. It was a good thing that he insisted, but this thing of the Luban Sect did pose a serious threat to their market, and he had not yet thought of a good solution.

"Let's take it one step at a time." The leader of the Lingyao Sect sighed. Connecting with other worlds and encountering new technologies are both opportunities and challenges. At the same time, one must stick to one's original intentions. It is too difficult.

His remarks made Su Weigao look at him.
