At night, Lai Siyu entered the copper space as usual. After the Qingyun Sect was destroyed, she clearly felt that the speed at which she absorbed spiritual energy had slowed down. This was because she had lost the power of faith. No wonder it was difficult for independent practitioners. Without the power of faith, cultivation was too slow.
She bought an alchemy furnace, all the first-grade prescriptions, and two first-grade magic tools from Sheng Changlong. The 65,000 low-grade spirit stones she earned from selling talismans were not enough, so she finally took out a 500-year-old spiritual medicine to make up for the shortfall.
Originally, she still had more than 100,000 low-grade spirit stones given by Gu Youcai, but it was the capital for opening a shop, and Lai Siyu did not want to use it. In addition, she also wanted to see how much the 500-year-old spirit medicine was worth, so she took out the spirit medicine to pay off the capital.
Lai Siyu decided to learn alchemy herself. Selling spiritual herbs directly was too uneconomical. Pills were several times more expensive than the spiritual herbs used to make them. Furthermore, with more people working under her, the demand for pills was enormous.
She took out a jade slip that contained the recipe for the Qi Gathering Pill and scanned it with her spiritual sense. The medicinal materials used in the recipe, the method of refining it, and the precautions, etc., were all clearly reflected in her mind.
She did it right away. Lai Siyu hadn't established her foundation yet, so she had no Dantian fire and no earth fire in the space. However, she carved a fire array on the stove. The fire array used for cooking was quite powerful, so she slightly modified it so that the firepower of the fire array could be adjusted through her spiritual sense.
The medicine cauldron that Lai Siyu chose is about the same size as a soup pot. She bought it based on the size, so the medicine cauldron is just the right size to be placed on the stove.
All the spiritual medicines for Qi Gathering Pills were available in her space. She first prepared ten spiritual medicines that were exactly one hundred years old, and then added enough spiritual stones to the Fire Gathering Array. With a thought, the Fire Gathering Array began to work.
Lai Siyu used a wisp of her consciousness to test the temperature in the medicine cauldron. When the temperature reached the jade slip's requirements, she immediately dropped a portion of the spiritual medicine into the medicine cauldron. She then used her consciousness to control the liquefaction of each spiritual medicine, and then merged them in order.
More than ten kinds of spiritual medicine were all liquefied. Lai Siyu used his spiritual sense to carefully control them to merge, but when they were half melted, all the liquid medicine turned into water vapor!
Oh no, it’s time to reduce the firepower.
Come again!
Lai Siyu had hoped to make the elixir successfully on the first try. Pills are not that easy to make, otherwise they wouldn't be so scarce and expensive.
The second time, Lai Siyu paid special attention to the size of the firepower, but did not pay attention to the time of the fusion of the medicine and liquid, and failed again.
After the Ten Spirit Medicine was used up, Lai Siyu's sea of consciousness began to dry up, and her head felt as painful as if it were being pierced by thousands of needles.
At this time, the broken copper piece in her sea of consciousness emitted a soft light, which swept across her sea of consciousness like feathers. Wherever the light passed, the pain disappeared and her sea of consciousness was filled again.
She also discovered the function of a piece of broken copper. It seems that her spiritual awareness can be many times stronger than those of the same level!
After her sea of consciousness returned to normal, Lai Siyu immediately went to the medicine field to collect spiritual herbs. This time, she collected the spiritual herbs needed for one hundred Qi Gathering Pills and sat cross-legged in front of the stove to refine them.
This time, her head started to hurt after she had refined twelve furnaces of medicine. Although all twelve furnaces of medicine failed, her spiritual awareness was enhanced.
The third time, she only started to feel discomfort in her sea of consciousness when she had refined eighteen furnaces of medicine, and the pain was much lighter than the previous two times.
This situation made Lai Siyu very excited. She didn't expect that she could exercise her spiritual consciousness while refining pills. Although she refined forty furnaces of pills in succession without any success, the rapid growth of her spiritual consciousness strength and her more subtle control over her spiritual consciousness were already very great gains.
And although all forty furnaces of pills failed, she still got some tips from it. At least the last five furnaces failed in the last link, the pill-making link.
Control fire, add medicine, condense liquid, guide, fuse, condense fragrance, and form pills...
Lai Siyu cleared her mind, concentrating on carefully controlling the fire and the elixirs in the furnace with her spiritual sense. She had opened fifty Qi Gathering Pills in the previous furnace, but thirty failed and twenty were destroyed. This time...
Suddenly, Lai Siyu's eyes widened and he shouted softly: "Open"
The fire in the furnace went out, the medicine cauldron opened, and a strong medicinal fragrance came out. Lai Siyu quickly collected the medicine in the jade bottle cauldron. There were fifty Qi Gathering Pills, and not a single one was wasted. She succeeded!
There were still eight sets of medicinal materials left. Lai Siyu took advantage of the victory and refined them all into pills in one go. Surprisingly, there was no wasted pill in every furnace.
One hundred and ten pieces of medicinal materials were used to refine nine furnaces of medicine. Her skills were built up with medicinal materials. Looking across the entire Zhangzhou, no beginner had such luxury that she could practice with more than a hundred pieces of medicinal materials.
The monks who learn to make the elixir will first figure out the single formula. Once they have figured out the single formula, they will go to see the master to make the elixir and help the master prepare the medicine. Generally, this process takes at least five years and at most ten years.
Before touching the alchemy furnace, the alchemist will test his disciples. Only those who pass the test will be allowed to open the furnace to refine medicine. After years of speculation and observation of individual ingredients, the disciples who pass the test can generally make a pill within ten parts of medicinal materials. As long as the success rate reaches 50%, they are qualified.
No one can be like Lai Siyu, who can successfully refine pills in a short period of time without the guidance of a teacher. Her success is entirely due to the spiritual medicine and the accumulation of spiritual stones. Of course, the copper pieces in her sea of consciousness also played a big role. The powerful spiritual consciousness and the ability to control it in detail are also the prerequisites for her 100% success rate in refining pills.
In the following days, she refined all the Qi Gathering Pills that had reached the required age in the medicine field into finished pills, a total of more than two hundred furnaces, of which twenty were made from five hundred year old spiritual medicines, one hundred were made from two to four hundred year old spiritual medicines, and more than one hundred were made from one hundred year old spiritual medicines.
Lai Siyu packaged these Qi Gathering Pills according to their age. The older the age, the richer the spiritual energy. She planned to share the five hundred year old ones with herself, her grandfather, and Xian Aotian, and for the ones of other years, she planned to distribute and reward them to her subordinates according to their positions and contribution values.
She now has an idea. Although the Qingyun Sect no longer exists, she can continue to open shops and even buy land. In this way, the more people under her command and the more tenants she has, the more power of faith she will generate.
Instead of joining a sect, it is better to try your best to build your own business empire and establish your own power, which is another kind of sect.
Although this idea was only a prototype, she would gradually refine it. First, she would establish a comprehensive system. This wasn't difficult for a modern soul like her, especially since she had learned management on her own. This was the first step. Then, she would improve the cultivation of her subordinates. She could now refine pills, and with the copper space, this wouldn't be a problem.
At this moment, she finally realized what it meant to be high-spirited and ambitious. One day, her business empire, Lai Siyu, would shock the world!
