Kong Jue prepared very little of the ingredients for the elixir of spring, only four portions.
Therefore, Kong Ju was extremely cautious every time he refined the elixir and went over all the steps in his mind before refining it.
This time is no exception.
After taking a short break and closing his eyes, Kong Ju opened his eyes again, slapped the furnace cover with his palm in the air, and threw the pills into the Xuanwu furnace one by one.
The elixir of spring had only been refined three times, but when Kong Ju was refining it this time, he had the illusion that he was at ease.
Every step is so smooth and easy.
From refining the medicinal properties of each spiritual medicine to the final fusion of the medicinal properties, and even to the final pill casting.
Although every step was clearly controlled by himself, Kong Jue felt as if he was in a dream.
It was as if he was standing aside and just watching himself as a bystander sitting in front of the furnace and making the elixir.
But there was not the slightest mistake in any step, it was so perfect that Kong Ju could not find any fault with it.
Until the pill with a pink and round luster took shape in the furnace.
The soul-stirring fragrance wafted out of the Xuanwu furnace and entered Kong Ju's mouth and nose. He suddenly woke up as if from a dream, and his eyes became clear again.
Without waiting for Kong Jue to carefully savor the quality of this batch of pills.
"Ah!" A dry howl suddenly echoed from the Xuanwu furnace.
The old turtle Xuan Heng emerged from the furnace cover again, his eyes full of desire and greed, and pounced on the elixir of spring that seemed to be of extremely high quality.
I don't know if it's the effect of the medicinal properties of the elixir, or if the quality of this elixir of spring is too high, but the old turtle's eyes are actually blurred.
Like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey, it swallowed the elixir of spring in one gulp.
Bang! The five-colored rays of light arrived not late, blooming from the wall of the basalt furnace, hitting the old turtle and making it wail continuously, forcing it to spit out the pill again.
"You bastard alchemy furnace!" Amid its angry roar, the old turtle was suppressed by the alchemy furnace without exception, and turned into a pool of black water on the furnace cover and disappeared without a trace.
Kong Jue shook his head repeatedly after watching this scene, and said with a strange look in his eyes: "It is clearly suppressed by the Xuanwu furnace every time, and it knows that it can't eat it, but it still rushes over without caring about its life."
"How greedy was this old turtle when he was alive!"
Kong Ju could only say that there was a reason why this old turtle was targeted and used to refine this spiritual weapon.
Perhaps the person who refined this basalt furnace valued it for this very reason.
Of course, these are just Kong Ju's malicious speculations and cannot be taken seriously.
After shaking his head, Kong Ju regained his spirit, stretched out his hand and slowly opened the lid of the basalt furnace.
Because he was too excited, his arms were shaking slightly.
The reason for his excitement was self-evident.
"The quality of this furnace is definitely not inferior to the finest!"
Kong Ju licked his dry lips. He had absolute confidence in refining the elixir this time. He had just fallen into a strange state, although the reason was unknown.
But he dared to guarantee that there would not be the slightest mistake in the refining process.
Even without the enhancement of the medicinal power of the Xuanwu furnace, this elixir of spring will definitely be able to reach 80% of its medicinal power.
That is, fine products.
A top-quality third-grade elixir, even if it is just an aphrodisiac, is definitely worth a fortune.
There is still residual heat from the elixir fire in the furnace, and this elixir of spring feels warm in the hand.
Kong Ju slowly took out the basalt furnace, placed it in front of him, and examined it carefully.
The bright and lustrous elixir skin and the rich medicinal power all proved that the quality of this batch of Fengchun elixir had reached the top level.
Moreover, when Kong Ju used his virtual soul vision, he could see the layer of five-colored light attached to the Danyi.
It is the basalt furnace that enhances the medicinal power.
"Eighty-and-a-half percent! The best of the best." Kong Ju got a positive answer, and the smile at the corner of his mouth almost covered his face.
If this elixir of spring were to be auctioned at Xunyu Pavilion, the starting price would be at least 60,000 spirit crystals.
Moreover, what he obtained was not just a fine third-grade pill with 85% of its medicinal strength.
He also confirmed his previous speculation through this alchemy.
"The enhancement of the medicinal power by the Xuanwu furnace does come at a price." Kong Ju looked at the colorful light flowing on the Danyi and felt that all his inferences had been confirmed.
The price is that you need to feed the black tortoise elixir before refining the elixir.
The medicinal power that the black turtle cannot digest is transformed into a ray of light that can enhance the medicinal power.
Because the pill that Kong Ju had fed the black turtle before was only the second-grade Wanshou Pill, but this time Kong Ju refined the third-grade Fengchun Elixir.
There is a difference of one grade between the two, so the Xuanwu furnace only added half of the medicinal power this time.
If Kong Ju had not refined the third-grade elixir in this furnace, and had chosen to continue refining the second-grade Great Mirror-breaking Pill, then the medicinal power would definitely have increased by 10%.
"So that's it! So that's it!" Kong Ju, who had figured out the secret of the Xuanwu furnace, kept murmuring these four words.
The eyes are getting brighter and brighter.
As long as he finds the method of using the Xuanwu furnace, he can feed the dragon turtle with worthless second-grade elixirs in the future to pursue high-quality second-grade precious elixirs.
Or they could use worthless third-grade elixirs to pursue precious, higher-quality third-grade elixirs.
After all, some pills that appear to be of the same quality may have values that differ by several times.
For example, the elixir of spring and the elixir of calmness.
They are all third-grade elixirs. If the Fengchun elixir is really to be sold, it is estimated to be worth only 20,000 to 30,000 spirit crystals.
However, the Calming Pill can be sold at a high price of over 100,000.
Another example is the Dapojingdan and Wanshoudan.
The value of the Great Mirror-Breaking Pill is equivalent to that of a third-grade elixir, and Xunyu Pavilion will definitely accept it at a price of thirty to forty thousand spirit stones.
There are more than ten or twenty pills in one furnace of Wanshou Pills.
In short, there is too much room for manipulation.
Kong Ju felt that he had found a way to make a fortune.
"With this basalt furnace, will I still have to worry about having no money in the future?"
With this thought, Kong Ju felt that the elixir of spring in his hand, which contained 85% of its medicinal strength, was not so precious after all.
As he spoke, Kong Ju casually put it into a jade bottle, walked to the front of the Xuanwu furnace with a smile on his face, and gently rubbed his palms on the shiny surface of the furnace, just like caressing his lover.
As the saying goes, when excitement ends, sadness comes.
Just as Kong Ju was feeling the cool temperature of the basalt furnace in his palm with a look of fascination.
Crash!
The black mysterious water surged, and a black turtle appeared on the lid of the basalt furnace.
Kong Ju's eyes immediately met the old turtle's bean-sized eyes.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
The man and the turtle stared at each other in a daze.
The old turtle hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he opened his mouth and spoke subconsciously: "Boy..."
Kong Ju didn't even listen to it finish its words. He turned his hand with a look of disgust and slapped the Xuanwu Furnace, suppressing it back.
"It's just that there's an old turtle in the basalt furnace, which really spoils the fun."
Muttering to himself, Kong Ju's consciousness moved, and with the golden light of his consciousness between his eyebrows flashing, he took the Xuanwu furnace back into his sea of consciousness.
This several-day retreat to refine medicine has come to an end with the production of two batches of spring elixir.
Kong Ju began to count the gains from this retreat. He sat cross-legged on the ground, took out three bottles of Dapojing Dan and two bottles of Fengchun Lingyao from his Qiankun bag, and placed them in front of him in order.
"There are six Great Mirror-Breaking Pills in three furnaces, all of which are top-quality. Two of them have 85% medicinal strength."
"Two furnaces of spring elixir, one furnace is 60% finished, and the other furnace is 85% fine."
"Hehe, if all of this were converted into spirit crystals, it would be worth two hundred thousand."
Kong Ju looked at the pill in front of him and laughed.
Alchemists consume a lot of resources.
If you want to make money by refining pills, it has a lot to do with the success rate of refining pills.
With the help of the Xuanwu furnace, Kong Ju's success rate in making second-grade pills is now about 80% to 90%.
In other words, if he really wanted to refine a second-grade elixir, there was absolutely no way he would lose money.
But the profit from second-grade elixirs is too little. If one wants to rely on second-grade elixirs to support Kong Ju's horrific consumption, he may only be able to refine precious second-grade elixirs such as the Great Mirror-breaking Pill.
However, the Three-Aperture Ginseng is rare and cannot be bought and sold for a long term.
"Refining a third-grade elixir is a good idea."
However, making money by relying on the Xuanwu furnace is a matter for the future and is not what Kong Ju is considering at the moment.
He now calculated his success rate in refining the third-grade elixir.
"The four batches of Fengchun Lingyao have been reduced to two batches, and the success rate is about 50%."
But Kong Ju was confident that if he was given a few more chances to refine the elixir of spring, his success rate would definitely be more than 50%.
At least it can be raised by 10% to 20%, that is, 60% to 70%, which is already in line with the standard of a third-grade alchemist.
The state he entered when refining the last furnace made Kong Jue remember every detail of the Fengchun elixir deeply in his mind, making it impossible for him to forget it.
Moreover, the improvement in the refining state that time was not only limited to the refining of the Fengchun elixir. The ultimate control over the third-grade elixir could also be applied to other third-grade elixirs.
"That state should be similar to Senior Brother Shangguan's meditation on swordplay in the rain, forgetting everything else and himself."
"What a pity, I actually used such a rare opportunity to make pills."
Kong Ju vaguely understood how rare that state was, and felt a little regretful.
If I could have an epiphany while practicing halberd or archery, my strength would definitely rise to a higher level.
But that kind of opportunity is hard to come by, and it is already lucky to get it once, so Kong Ju didn't think about it too much.
After all, being able to use that kind of sudden enlightenment opportunity in the practice of alchemy as a way to make money and earn resources for cultivation can also be considered a disguised way to improve one's own strength.
Thinking of this, Kong Ju's gaze fixed on the two bottles of spring elixir again.
Now that we have the third-grade elixir, the conditions for activating the Xuanwu furnace, a powerful spiritual device, are in place. The next step is to find Zhou and Feng.
But before going to fight with the old man, Kong Ju had one more thing to do.
His eyes turned and he looked at the three bottles of Great Mirror-breaking Pills beside the Fengchun Spiritual Medicine, thinking secretly:
"I have already reached the peak of the fetal light realm, but the time for the fetal light soul to be nurtured is still short. I am afraid of the consequences, so I dare not break through rashly."
"This Great Mirror-Breaking Pill can not only improve cultivation, but also has a significant nourishing effect on the three souls of the Ascension Wheel. It is a good opportunity to nourish the soul of the Fetal Light and ascend to the Nether Spirit Realm."
Now that the Great Mirror-Breaking Pill has been refined, of course it must be used.
Kong Ju's original intention in choosing to become an alchemist was to refine pills for himself.
Now that the Great Mirror-Breaking Pill has been refined, there is no reason not to take it.
Thinking of this, Kong Ju reached out and picked up the bottle of Dapojingdan that contained 85% of its medicinal strength, smiling.
"If we can go find Day and Wind at the level of a ghost spirit, our chances of success will be much better."
Kong Ju did what he said without any hesitation. With a wave of his sleeve, he put all the bottles of freshly refined pills in front of him into his Qiankun bag, leaving only the bottle of Dapojing Dan in his hand.
Then he carefully opened the bottle and poured out a round, dark blue pill.
The big broken mirror pill in the palm of Kong Ju's hand was reflected in his pupils, and there was suddenly some hesitation in his eyes.
"Would you like to make a bet?"
