Chapter 138 [(*^▽^*)]
If this happens, if you use the second-grade cleansing marrow pill, you don’t know how long it will take to finish it. Only by using the third-grade cleansing marrow pill can you save a lot of time.
Time, time, for a cultivator, is the most important life!
If the life span is sufficient, then the time for cultivation can also be increased, and the possibility of taking the next step will be higher.
At this time, someone outside triggered the restriction, and then a disciple in the late stage of Qi Condensation came in, "This senior brother, this is food for you."
Ming Fanxing blinked, then nodded, and said casually, "Put it there, I'll eat it later. By the way, has the food for the junior brother opposite me been delivered?"
"It has been delivered, I dare not neglect it."
Ming Fanxing waved his hand, "I know, you can go out."
This person is a errand disciple of Danxiang Pavilion. Although they are both cultivators in the Qi Condensation stage, their treatment is very different.
He went out quickly.
Ming Fanxing and Feng Qingyi are also cultivators in the Qi Condensation stage, but he dare not be presumptuous. After all, unlike people with poor qualifications like him, he can't compare with the talented disciples who can get the top five in the ranking battle and live in the first-class cave.
Ming Fanxing looked at the food box he had brought, and with a wave of his hand, the food box floated up and landed in his hands. He
opened it and saw that it was indeed filled with fragrant food. He quickly filled his stomach and threw the food box near the entrance, and continued to meditate. After recovering his spiritual power, he continued to refine the pill.
His progress was smooth, but Feng Qingyi's was not so good. He looked at the waste in the alchemy furnace with a bad face.
It was just a burnt smell, but he smelled a non-existent stench.
"This is the twelfth batch of herbs, but I haven't succeeded even once so far. Don't I have a talent for alchemy? It's impossible... I have tried it before."
When he was in the palace, his father had spent a lot of money to buy some first-grade cleansing marrow pills and even some alchemy instructions.
Feng Qingyi looked unhappy.
"I succeeded once before, why can't I do it now? Could it be... I haven't made an alchemy for a long time and my skills have become rusty?"
He looked at his hands in some confusion, "Try again, if it doesn't work again, I will go back to practice, it will definitely work..."
But Feng Qingyi obviously overestimated himself. The herbs in his hand were gradually consumed, and they were reduced one by one.
When there were only two left, he finally succeeded once, but the ones that came out were all first-grade cleansing marrow pills.
As everyone knows, the first-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill is waste. This time the assessment requires refining a first-grade second-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Now he only has two spiritual herbs left.
In fact, his storage bag still contains a few spiritual herbs that he had collected before but had not used up, but he did not dare to take them out. Once discovered, it would be cheating.
After taking a deep breath, he still forced down the idea that was about to move.
He casually threw the first-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill into an empty box on the side, looking at the last two herbs with burning eyes.
If these two times don't work, he will fail this assessment and can only leave Danxiang Pavilion in despair, which is not what he wants.
He cherished the remaining two spiritual herbs very much, and did not start directly, but sat quietly for a while and calmed down before starting.
However, refining the elixir is refining the elixir, and reality will not change because of his seriousness.
Feng Qingyi still failed in the last two attempts. There were a total of 20 medicinal materials, and he only succeeded once. Even if he succeeded once, he only produced a first-grade useless elixir.
Duan Chongbei happened to appear at the door at this time, "Your chance has been used up, you can go back."
"If you still want to refine the pill, it's not impossible. Let your family or you work hard to earn spirit stones to buy medicinal materials and alchemy furnace."
"Refine the pill by yourself in the cave. If one day you can refine the third-grade pill, you can come to me. I will continue to teach you, and finally take you to the Alchemist Association for assessment."
Even if Feng Qingyi was unwilling, he could only leave now, but he still asked before leaving, "Uncle Duan, how is Senior Brother Ming who came with me now?"
When mentioning Ming Fanxing, Duan Chongbei couldn't help but smile.
"Ming Fanxing is a very talented disciple in alchemy. He was able to refine a second-grade cleansing marrow pill in the eleventh time after his first experience with alchemy."
Feng Qingyi's eyes froze. Eleven times!
He knew that Ming Fanxing came from Jinzhou City, and Jinzhou City would never have the conditions to refine alchemy. In other words, Duan Chongbei was right. Ming Fanxing had never been exposed to alchemy before.
However, he was able to do it in the first time, which was indeed something he could not compare to.
Duan Chongbei continued, "I think with such a good talent, he must be able to refine a third-grade cleansing marrow pill before the medicinal materials are used up."
At this point, Duan Chongbei also noticed Feng Qingyi's strange and shocked eyes, as if he was wondering if Ming Fanxing actually had such a talent for alchemy? !
Duan Zhongbei coughed twice, "Okay, since you have failed, just leave."
Feng Qingyi came back to his senses and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it. In the end, he could only utter one sentence, "Uncle Duan, if I can refine the second-grade pill by refining the pill outside, can I continue to come to Danxiang Pavilion to ask for your guidance?"
Duan Zhongbei thought about it and was not going to agree at first, but finally nodded.
Alchemists, one more is one.
"That's fine. If you can refine a first-grade, second-grade cleansing marrow pill, you can come to me. After I finish the assessment, I will make the decision and give you fifty herbs to continue refining pills. If you can refine a first-grade, third-grade cleansing marrow pill, it will be a good thing."
At this point, Duan Chongbei frowned slightly, "But I don't recommend you to do this. I won't say more about the specific situation. You should know it in your heart. Make your own judgment."
Although people without the talent for refining pills can also achieve certain achievements through hard work, refining pills is not just about hard work.
Those spiritual herbs are not cheap. If there is no refined pill to support them, the spiritual herbs consumed by refining pills alone is a huge sinkhole!
Duan Zhongbei waved his sleeves and said, "That's enough. I have nothing to say. You may go now."
Feng Qingyi bowed respectfully and said, "I will take my leave, disciple."
Although he left, he couldn't help but look upstairs when he walked out of Danxiang Pavilion. As expected, he saw nothing.
However, he was still a little frustrated at this time, thinking that he was really no match for Ming Fanxing. He lost to him in the ranking battle and only got second place. Now he lost to him in the alchemy.
At this moment, he suddenly shuddered and subconsciously looked around quickly. After not seeing the familiar figure, he twitched his mouth and left quickly.
As he walked, he muttered, "Why didn't I find Jin Mary so annoying before? She seemed to be a very marginal person. After coming to the academy, she became so courageous..."
Little did he know that his leaving back was seen by several male disciples in the distance. They quickly sent out sound transmission notes, but this time the sound transmission notes did not call Jin Mary.
While they were puzzled, they did not dare to disturb him. They could only stay here and stare. After all, there was still Ming Fanxing inside.
"Maybe Junior Sister Jin doesn't like Feng Qingyi anymore, and only likes this Ming Fanxing."
"Then stay here and wait."
During this time, Ming Fanxing stayed in Danxiang Pavilion. It takes about three to four hours to refine a furnace of the first-level marrow cleansing pill.
He spent all twelve hours a day refining pills, and could only refine three times. However, refining pills takes so much time, so he can't be impatient.
Ming Fanxing's success rate in refining pills is also steadily increasing.
At the beginning, the number of refining first-level second-grade marrow cleansing pills changed from one pill per furnace at the beginning to two to three pills per furnace now.
There were fifty-nine medicinal materials in total. He had used up five of them in the past two days. There were still many left. He looked at the pills he had refined.
The first-grade, first-class cleansing marrow pills were thrown casually into the box that originally contained the medicinal materials, and the boxes were also randomly piled in the corner.
The first-grade, second-class cleansing marrow pills were packed in a jade bottle, with a total of nine pills.
This quantity was still acceptable, and after refining pills so many times, he probably knew how to refine the third-grade pills.
What was lacking now was experience and feel. There was no way to cheat. It could only be accumulated by constantly refining pills. There was no rush.
In addition to watching Duan Chongbei's previous pill refining process, plus his own experience of so many failed and successful pill refining, he was now full of confidence.
Ming Fanxing felt that he should be able to refine the first-level, third-grade cleansing marrow pill within ten days, or at least before all the herbs were used up.
But... it was already very late today, and he had to meditate and rest to recover his spiritual power.
After resting, he would get up tomorrow to continue refining the pill. He breathed a sigh of relief and began to meditate with his eyes closed.
It was a peaceful night.
When Ming Fanxing opened his eyes, someone had already brought breakfast to him. He ate it as usual and then began to refine the pill.
He didn't know if he had a good rest last night, but the first time he got up early today to refine the pill was surprisingly smooth, smoother than every previous time he refined the pill.
It was as if... he suddenly got enlightened.
When the first batch of pills was opened today, even Ming Fanxing himself was stunned. He got the first third-grade pill that he refined by himself so easily.
Although there was only one third-grade pill after this batch of pills came out of the furnace, it also showed that he was indeed successful. He remembered the whole process of refining pills in his mind!
He took out another jade bottle and put the only third-grade pill in it. After a short rest, he immediately started the second refining.
However... this time, no third-grade pill was refined.
But it's okay.
The successful pill refining process just now has been firmly engraved in his mind. He is looking for that smooth feeling. If he can succeed once, he can definitely succeed a second time.
Ming Fanxing has enough confidence in his ability to refine pills.
Although he failed to refine pills several times in a row in the next few days, Ming Fanxing's eyes became brighter and brighter. Every time he failed, he was closer to that point.
