Kong Ju, who had originally thought of waiting for some time, and then breaking through to the sixth level of Yanglun, before honing his alchemy skills, suddenly became determined and decided to practice alchemy himself.

After thinking about it, Kong Ju politely asked the male disciple in charge of reception at the Spiritual Medicine Hall, "Senior Brother, how much is the spiritual medicine material for refining the Qi-nourishing Pill?"

Lingcaotang not only sells elixirs, but also sells materials for alchemy.

The disciple who was questioned by Kong Ju was also from the Alchemy Pavilion. It happened to be his turn to be on duty at the Spiritual Medicine Hall during this period. When he saw a young man asking him about alchemy materials, his expression suddenly became strange.

After looking Kong Ju up and down, he tried to persuade him, "Brother, alchemy is not like cultivation. The consumption and time required are not something that ordinary disciples can afford. I think you should just spend money to buy it. It's not easy to earn some spirit crystals."

Kong Ju heard what the other party said and knew that the other party also had good intentions, but he was too lazy to explain and lied without changing his expression: "To be honest with you, senior brother, I have been concentrating on alchemy for a long time, and I am not a newcomer."

Speaking of which, with Ge Xia's memory of refining alchemy for more than 20 years, he can be said to have been refining alchemy for a long time. The only thing he lacks is the practical experience.

That disciple felt that Kong Ju didn't look like someone who could make elixirs no matter how he looked at him. Moreover, the Alchemy Pavilion had records of all the alchemists of the Cangwu School. He had never seen Kong Ju, so naturally he didn't believe it.

But Kong Ju insisted on buying it. It was his duty, so there was no reason for him not to sell it.

Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, he had to shake his head and said truthfully: "The medicinal materials needed to refine the Qi-nourishing Pill are one hundred spirit crystals each."

"One hundred spirit crystals are not expensive. If they can be made into pills, there will be four or five pills in one furnace. Ordinary quality Qi-nourishing Pills are fifty spirit crystals each, which means it's a sure profit." Kong Ju's eyes brightened as he thought about it, it seemed like he was making no loss.

Although his refining skills were not very good, at least he had never exploded the furnace or ruined the pills.

The experience he gained from Ge Feng was obviously more than enough to deal with this kind of inferior elixir.

He had made up his mind, but just in case, Kong Ju took out the three furnaces of Qi-nourishing Pills that he had previously refined in the mine from his storage bag and placed them on the counter.

He asked the disciple, "Brother, Lingcaotang is accepting Qi-nourishing Pills, right? Can you take a look at the Qi-nourishing Pills I made? Do they meet your standards for purchase?"

The disciple didn't expect that Kong Ju could really make elixirs.

He immediately picked up the three jade bottles containing elixirs, opened them one by one, poured out the Qi-nourishing elixirs inside into his palms, and began to identify them.

Kong Ju didn't disturb him and looked at him expectantly.

The latter put it in front of his nose and smelled it, then looked at the quality of the pill, and his expression became even more strange.

It’s not that the pills are bad. Two out of three bottles of pills are qualified.

The best bottle even retained 65% of its medicinal properties, which was considered relatively good. Even if he had refined it himself, it would not be much better than this.

"To be honest with you, Junior Brother, there are two bottles that are up to standard and meet the purchase standards of our Spiritual Herb Hall. They can be purchased at the price of forty Spiritual Crystals each." After a brief pause, the disciple asked Kong Ju tentatively, "Will you sell them?"

Kong Ju did not answer immediately after hearing this, but lowered his head and silently calculated the price.

Lingcaotang sells fifty-one Qi-nourishing Pills and buys forty-one, with a price difference of ten spirit crystals, which is reasonable.

There are a total of nine pills in his two bottles of qualified pills, which means they can be sold for three hundred and sixty spirit crystals.

He refined three furnaces, two of which met the purchase standards.

The cost price is three hundred.

Earned sixty spirit crystals.

In other words, if Kong Jue devoted himself to refining the elixir, he would not suffer a loss, and might even make a small profit.

He immediately made up his mind and said to the disciple, "Sell it!"

As he spoke, he shook out all the spirit crystals in the storage bag under the astonished gaze of the disciple.

Count out six hundred and forty spirit crystals, making a total of one thousand spirit crystals.

"Also, Senior Brother, you don't need to give me spiritual crystals. Just give me ten spiritual medicine materials for the Qi-nourishing Pill."

It was also the first time that the disciple saw someone other than the Alchemy Pavilion who purchased so many materials. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Okay!"

One hand pays the other hand receives the goods.

The disciple no longer dared to underestimate Kong Ju, and he specifically gave his name before leaving.

"My name is Lang Ming. If you need any high-quality elixirs, you can come to me and I will give you a fair price."

"Okay, Brother Langming, I'm Kong Ju, and please take care of me in the future." Kong Ju politely bowed. Langming's special reminder just now won him a lot of favor.

I'm afraid I'll have a lot of interactions with him in the future, so it's better to make friends with him.

After saying that, he carefully put all the medicine making materials into the storage bag.

Under Lang Ming's gaze, he slowly walked out of Lingcao Hall.

Standing at the entrance of Lingcao Hall, Kong Ju took a deep breath and said, "I will retreat to make pills in the next few days. When I make the best batch, I will take it directly and break through the sixth level of Yanglun. I will sell the rest to Lingcao Hall."

When Kong Ju returned to the cave, he activated the Red Cloud Formation.

Even though this Red Cloud Formation has almost no power in Kong Ju's eyes now, it can still resist some unnecessary harassment.

If there really are blind disciples coming in, at least it can serve as a warning.

As for whether Shangguan Yuzhou would be stopped, he was the one who set up the Red Cloud Formation himself with the formation flags, so naturally it could not stop him.

Placing the Golden Palace Furnace about ten feet away from the spiritual spring, Kong Ju gently stroked the shiny and cool body of the furnace with his palm, feeling the coolness from his palm, with nostalgia in his eyes.

Although it was the first time he saw the Golden Throne, in Ge Feng's memory, he was accompanied by this Golden Throne almost every day.

Every detail of the stove has been deeply imprinted in his mind.

"If this furnace is in the hands of the alchemist next to you, it is just a fine alchemy furnace. But in my hands, it can exert 20% of its effectiveness." Kong Ju's eyes were bright as he moved his hand away from the Golden Luan furnace.

After saying that, he placed the ten spiritual medicinal materials for the Qi-nourishing Pills that he had purchased from the Alchemy Pavilion this time in front of the alchemy furnace one by one.

After slowly exhaling, he placed his palm on the position where the alchemy furnace absorbed spiritual power, and the spiritual power of the Taiyin Meridian was immediately transmitted to the Golden Palace Furnace.

Looking at the familiar dark blue dancing flame with a hint of golden light, Kong Ju smiled.

“That’s the feeling.”

As he spoke, he opened the lid of the alchemy furnace and carefully put in the first ingredient of the Qi-nourishing Pill.

The power of the scorching flame immediately enveloped the medicinal materials, peeling off the essence of the medicinal materials from the elixir body bit by bit.

The Golden Luan Furnace was indeed a rare fine product among alchemy furnaces. It only took a cup of tea to refine the essence of the first medicinal ingredient. It was nearly twice as fast as the alchemy furnace that Kong Ju had seized from a disciple of the Blood Robe League.

Moreover, the essence of the elixir is extracted more thoroughly without any waste.

The stripping of the first medicinal herb's spiritual power allowed Kong Jue to find the handy feeling in his memory.

After discharging the medicinal residue from the furnace, the second medicine is put in successively.

There were seven ingredients in the Qi-nourishing Pill, and it only took half an hour to remove all of them.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"The essence of the elixir extracted is at least 20% more refined than that in an ordinary alchemy furnace." Kong Jue showed joy as he smelled the fragrant aroma of the seven herbs in the furnace emanating from the alchemy furnace.

The purity of the extracted medicinal essence is also related to the quality of the finished pill.

If nothing unexpected happens during the process, this batch of Qi-nourishing Pills will be better than the three batches he refined before.

After a brief moment of joy, Kong Ju did not dare to be distracted and quickly began the second step of alchemy.

Casting pills.

Use spiritual power to impact the medicinal properties of the elixir essence, so that they can completely blend together.

Ordinary alchemy furnaces do not have transformation arrays, and so the three furnaces of pills that Kong Jue had refined in the underground mineral veins were easily frozen by the coldness carried in his spiritual power, causing the pills to mature prematurely, seriously affecting their quality.

This problem does not exist with the Golden Throne today.

Kong Ju placed his other hand on the Golden Luan Furnace Transformation Array and injected spiritual power into it.

The cold spiritual power, after being transformed by the transformation array, turned into pure formless spiritual power.

Then Kong Ju controlled the spiritual power and began to repeatedly impact the essence of the elixir.

The large mass of medicinal essence was repeatedly beaten by Kong Jue's spiritual power and slowly merged together.

This is the most difficult step in alchemy.

However, Kong Jue felt that he was at ease.

After a cup of tea, the originally dark blue essence of the elixir gradually turned into an emerald-like color under the repeated impact of Kong Ji's spiritual power.

"That's it!" Kong Jue felt that the medicinal properties had been fully absorbed.

He immediately used the spiritual power injected into the alchemy furnace to control the ball of essence that was emitting a crystal clear feeling and shook it.

This is the last step in alchemy, the elixir is ready.

This step also tests the level of the alchemist.

Using too much force will cause the essence of the elixir to be dispersed and its medicinal properties to evaporate.

If you use too little force, the pill will not be able to take shape.

However, Kong Ju was in very good condition this time. After the spiritual power vibrated, pills were slowly taking shape in the alchemy furnace.

When the time was almost up, Kong Ju hurriedly withdrew the spiritual power that was continuously injected into the alchemy furnace.

He placed his hand on the still hot lid of the alchemy furnace and recited silently in his mind.

"one two three!"

Three words have fallen.

Bang.

The lid of the alchemy furnace was opened by Kong Jue.

A rich medicinal aroma instantly gushed out from the alchemy furnace.

In an instant, it filled the entire Lingquan Cave.

Kong Ju only took a few breaths of the medicinal fragrance, and the speed of the spiritual energy flowing in his body increased a little.

"The quality is very good!" Just by smelling the medicinal fragrance, Kong Ju could judge that the quality of this batch of pills was better than the previous three batches, with a smile in his eyes.

Without having time to smell it carefully, his eyes first looked towards the alchemy furnace.

I saw five pills as bright as emeralds lying quietly in the furnace.

Kong Ju carefully stretched out two fingers, picked up one of the five, and looked at it in his palm.

The best batch of Qi-nourishing Pills he had refined before was only turquoise in color, but with a more rounded luster.

In this furnace, the color directly turned into emerald green, and the cinnabar was as bright as a mirror.

The medicinal properties of Kongjiao can be judged from its color and aroma.

"It's at least 80% effective! Excellent!"
