The pill with 60% medicinal efficacy is the finished product.
70% good quality.
Eighty percent are high quality.
Lingcaotang wants to sell this batch of Qi-nourishing Pills that Kong Ju refined with the help of the Golden Luan Furnace for one hundred spirit crystals.
Five in a furnace, that’s five hundred.
Kong Ju spent one thousand spirit crystals to buy the materials for the Qi-nourishing Pill, and now he has earned back half of his investment with just one furnace.
“All the better alchemists are extremely wealthy. No one can envy this business.” Looking at the fine Qi-nourishing Pill in his palm, Kong Ju seemed to see handfuls of spirit crystals.
The effort required to train an alchemist is terrifying.
Kong Ju completely took advantage of Ge Feng's memory and saved the time.
In order to prevent the medicinal effects of the Qi-nourishing Pills from evaporating, Kong Ju did not delay too long and put the five Qi-nourishing Pills into a rough jade bottle.
Those jade bottles were all taken from the corpses of the Blood Robe League disciples, and there were plenty of them.
Although it looks a bit ugly, it has no problem locking in the efficacy of the medicine.
With the success of the first batch of Qi-nourishing Pills.
Kong Ju's confidence increased greatly, and he couldn't wait to start refining the second furnace.
His luck seemed to be over.
The second batch of Qi-nourishing Pills was only 70% effective and could be considered a good quality product.
"It would be abnormal if I could produce fine products in every furnace. It would be good if I could maintain the good quality." Kong Ju was open-minded. The price of a good quality Qi-nourishing Pill was ten spirit crystals more than that of an ordinary Qi-nourishing Pill.
After putting away the pills, Kong Ju cheered up and started the third furnace.
Good product! Good product! Good product!
Three batches of products were all good quality.
Time passes by unknowingly.
Every time after refining an elixir, Kong Ju would take a short break to recover his spiritual power.
After all, alchemy requires maintaining the flame burning, which takes a very long time and consumes a lot of spiritual energy.
In the process of recovering his spiritual power, Kong Ju constantly summed up his experience and slowly integrated the practical operations with the memories in his mind.
Two days passed by unknowingly.
In front of the Golden Palace, Kong Ju's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the furnace of Qi-nourishing pills in front of him.
This is the last ingredient for the Qi-nourishing Pill.
The rich medicinal aroma wafted out even before the lid of the furnace was opened.
It is conceivable that the quality of this batch of pills will probably surpass all the previous ones.
"It feels like a big batch of goods is going to be produced!" Kong Jumo murmured with a slightly excited tone. After counting to three, he lifted the lid of the furnace.
Whoosh! The moment the lid of the furnace was opened, the dense emerald green alchemy gas gushed out from the alchemy furnace.
Under the hazy Dan Qi, Kong Ju looked directly into the furnace and vaguely saw a lush green light.
This scene made his heart move, as if he had thought of something.
He said uncertainly, "Top quality?"
It is of top quality, with 90% of the medicinal power of medicinal elixirs.
If an ungraded elixir can be of top quality, its value will definitely not be lower than that of a graded elixir.
In other words, if a low-grade pill like the Yangqi Pill can be refined into a top-grade pill, its price will be equivalent to that of a high-grade pill.
Of course, this is just Kong Jue's guess. The specific identification still depends on the color and smell of the elixir after it is made.
As the Dan Qi dissipated.
Five crystal clear pills, each one looking like it were carved from real jade, lay quietly in the center of the furnace.
Exudes an alluring scent.
Each Qi-nourishing Pill is transparent and does not contain a trace of impurities.
Sure enough, Kong Ju’s guess was correct, this batch of elixirs was of top quality.
Without taking the time to take a closer look, Kong Ju hurriedly put the five top-grade Qi-nourishing pills carefully into the jade bottle, fearing that their medicinal properties would evaporate.
Only after he had done all this did he heave a sigh of relief.
“What good luck!”
It was indeed luck. Even when Ge Feng was young, he might not be able to produce one of the best quality Qi-nourishing Pills among twenty or thirty furnaces.
Kong Jue was just starting out in the art of alchemy, and was able to achieve such success, which was closely related to the surge in luck above his head.
"I suddenly feel that people with good luck are really suitable to be an alchemist!" Kong Ju was a little amused, as if he had found the correct way to use his luck.
After saying this, a strong feeling of fatigue rose from the bottom of my heart.
Kong Ju could hardly open his eyes. This exhaustion was far more tiring than the fight with Dou Xiao from the Blood Robe League.
"I finally understand why Elder Zhou was so exhausted when she met him that day." Kong Ju lay on the golden furnace which still had some residual heat, shook his head vigorously, and said with emotion: "I only practiced for two days, and I was so tired. But she practiced for two months!"
However, Kong Ju had no intention of resting.
He forced himself to stay awake and began to count the harvest from this pill refining session.
There are ten furnaces in total.
A furnace of exquisite products.
A furnace of top quality.
Five furnaces of good quality.
Two furnaces of finished products.
Another furnace was scrapped.
The furnace that was scrapped was Kong Ju's ninth furnace. He was indeed too tired at that time and failed to control the fire power, so it was directly reduced to slag.
Leaving aside the one that is of top quality.
A success rate of 90%. In the entire Alchemy Pavilion, apart from the elders, which alchemist can do this?
"There is a great future to look forward to!" Kong Ju's eyes sparkled, and he felt that the exhaustion from refining the elixir was not so intense anymore.
However, that was just a flash in the pan.
After saying these four words, Kong Ju could no longer suppress his sleepiness, and he fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
As his breathing gradually became even.
Kong Ju slept like this for three full days.
The clear sound of the cave's spiritual spring woke him up from his drowsiness.
The cold ground made his limbs numb, but fortunately, the slight discomfort dissipated with the circulation of spiritual power.
"Ah!" After a yawn, Kong Ju felt much more energetic after a good sleep.
With a glance of his hazy eyes, he saw a tall figure sitting cross-legged beside the spiritual spring. It was Shangguan Yuzhou.
It seems that Shangguan Yuzhou is actually practicing, which is a rarer scene than Kong Ju not practicing.
Seeing this scene, Kong Ju looked strange: "Did Senior Brother Shangguan feel stimulated by something?"
Shangguan Yuzhou had already woken up from his training when Kong Ju woke up. Of course, he heard what he said. He immediately opened his eyes, looked at Kong Ju and said righteously, "You are the one who is offended. Isn't it natural for cultivators like me to practice diligently? Look at the way you look at me."
"Yes, yes, yes! Senior Brother Shangguan is right." Kong Ju smiled and waved his hand, not wanting to point out Shangguan Yuzhou's pretentious behavior.
He stretched himself and felt refreshed. He had obviously recovered from the fatigue of refining the elixir.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Brother Kong, when you exchanged for this Golden Palace Furnace, I thought you were just interested in alchemy. I'm afraid it will take some time before you can refine pills." Shangguan Yuzhou said, his eyes shifted from Kong Ju to the alchemy furnace not far from the spiritual spring, and he said with a little worry: "I didn't expect you to have already started refining. Alchemy is a job that burns money, and we disciples can't afford it."
When Shangguan Yuzhou came back, he smelled the lingering fragrance of elixir in the cave, and naturally knew that Kong Ju had started refining the elixir.
He was obviously not optimistic about Kong Ju's approach to studying the Dao of Alchemy.
The alchemists trained by the sect need a huge amount of resources to accumulate in the early stages, but Kong Ju is not from the Alchemy Pavilion, and Shangguan Yuzhou is afraid that the money he has is not enough to fill this gap.
How could Kong Ju not know what Shangguan Yuzhou meant, but he couldn't respond by saying that he had already refined the elixir. He could only smile and not respond.
After all, Shangguan Yuzhou knew all about his past.
It's quite strange that he can suddenly make elixirs.
Shangguan Yuzhou was so afraid that he thought he was possessed by another spirit.
Seeing Kong Ju's noncommittal expression, Shangguan Yuzhou sighed softly.
Just as Kong Ju knew Shangguan Yuzhou's personality very well, he also knew the personality of his junior fellow disciple Kong very clearly. Although he seemed not to answer, he certainly did not listen to what he said in his heart.
He had no choice but to add, "Forget it. I can't persuade you. Just don't delay your practice and don't waste your talent."
Having gone through so many things together, Shangguan Yuzhou now regards Kong Ju as a genius whose talent is no less than his own.
I don't want him to waste time in inexplicable places.
"I understand, Senior Brother Shangguan, I know exactly what I am doing." Kong Ju nodded.
He made elixirs just to use the elixirs to break through his cultivation faster. In the final analysis, it was not for the purpose of cultivation.
In fact, when they were talking just now, Kong Ju was already thinking about how to send a copy of the elixir to Shangguan Yuzhou.
It’s just that I can’t bring it up recently, it’s too abrupt.
"Let's talk about it later. I'll just say that I have made some progress in alchemy. Senior Brother Shangguan is not familiar with alchemy anyway."
Just as Kong Qi was thinking this.
Kong Ju saw from the corner of his eye that Shangguan Yuzhou suddenly flipped his hand and took out a ball of bright silver essence.
With the emergence of the essence, an aura as sharp as a sword instantly filled the Lingquan Cave, but under the wrapping of Shangguan Yuzhou's sword energy, the aura was quickly locked.
"The essence of blooming silver." Kong Ju raised his eyebrows slightly. How could he not recognize this essence that he and Shangguan Yuzhou found in the mine together.
There were five portions of the Blooming Silver Essence found that day. Shangguan Yuzhou absorbed one portion, leaving four portions.
Because the essence of heaven and earth was difficult to carry, Shangguan Yuzhou collected it that day. His sword energy was just enough to seal the essence of blooming silver.
"I went to ask about the value of this Blooming Silver Essence these days." Shangguan Yuzhou laughed and said, "Someone is willing to buy one for five thousand spirit crystals. What do you think, Junior Brother Kong?"
These Blooming Silver Essences were found by Kong Ju, but were guided by Shangguan Yuzhou's chance, so the remaining four portions of Blooming Silver Essence should be divided between the two of them.
Shangguan Yuzhou initially refused, but Kong Ju kept insisting, so he didn't bother to be polite.
He happened to hear that someone wanted to obtain the Silver Essence, so he came to ask Kong Ju's opinion.
Shangguan Yuzhou thought that five thousand spirit crystals were already a lot, and Kong Ju would most likely agree.
Unexpectedly, the latter shook his head after hearing Shangguan Yuzhou's offer and chuckled, "Brother Shangguan, you don't know that five thousand spirit crystals are enough to buy the essence of heaven and earth for people with a character below the top 300."
"To buy the Silver Essence of the top 20 people, it's a little short."
Kong Ju was well-versed in the Book of Immortality and had a general understanding of the rarity of the essence of heaven and earth.
He immediately analyzed everything and said, "One portion will cost at least 8,000 yuan, and if there is a monk who needs it, the price may be even higher."
"So expensive?" Shangguan Yuzhou was stunned. He had no idea how great the opportunity he had encountered was.
"Brother Shangguan, go read "The Immortal Foundation" and you'll know what it means to be in the top 20 in terms of character. If you encounter a sword cultivator who has spent years seeking the essence of heaven and earth but has not been able to obtain it, the price may even double, which means that 16,000 is not impossible."
"After all, this is something that is priceless. Do you think the sect's Essence of Heaven and Earth can be exchanged for Spirit Crystals? You can't buy it even if you have money."
Kong Ju could only say this, and then responded to the question just now: "So my opinion is that the news of this Blooming Silver Essence should be leaked out, and don't mark the price. The highest bidder wins."
With Shangguan Yuzhou's current strength, he is considered very strong even in the first echelon. He is fully capable of protecting his character and the essence of heaven and earth, and Kong Ju is not worried that anyone will covet it.
Of course, the premise is that only one copy is revealed.
If it were four portions, even those at the Ascension Wheel realm would be jealous.
There is no need to tell Shangguan Yuzhou this, he already knows it.
"Okay! I'll do as you say." Shangguan Yuzhou certainly trusted Kong Ju unconditionally.
After saying this, Shangguan Yuzhou collected the Silver Essence.
He immediately stood up and said, "I will go and spread the news of the Silver Essence."
"Hehe, there are many people in our Cangwu sect who are rich and have good backgrounds."
Seeing Shangguan Yuzhou about to leave the cave, Kong Ju added to his departing figure: "Okay, if you need me, come back and find me. I will be in seclusion recently and will not go out."
The latter waved back in response.
Kong Ju shook his head, showing a helpless expression.
There would be no problem for Shangguan Yuzhou to handle this matter, so he was not very worried.
Without any worries, Kong Ju now has only one thing to do.
That is cultivation.
"I just refined a top-grade Qi-nourishing Pill and took it right away. I will first reach perfection in the fifth level of Qi-nourishing, and then go into seclusion to impact the sixth level of Qi-nourishing." As he spoke, Kong Ju flipped his palm and took out the bottle of Qi-nourishing Pill, the only one of the best quality, from the storage bag.
The jade bottle hasn't been opened yet, but the rich fragrance of the elixir has already filled the cave space again.
His spiritual power seemed unusually active under the influence of the elixir fragrance.
