Chapter 22 The Inheritance of Alchemy
Since the day a Foundation Establishment cultivator visited, Wang Yu has been acting as a doorman, and friends from Tantai Chan's circle have been coming to visit him from time to time.
Most of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators, or some juniors in the Qi Refining stage.
More importantly, Tantai Chan is a mid-grade second-tier alchemist with superb skills and a wide circle of friends, which has led Wang Yu to get to know many people in this circle.
Although no one really cares about him, at least they know some people and can try to build connections if he ever needs anything in the future.
Information is a relatively scarce resource in a social environment.
Furthermore, as producers within the demonic realm, their status is subtly elevated, and naturally, they attract more covetous eyes; their wealth inevitably makes them targets.
Wang Yu's ninety-fifth day as an outer disciple.
"Night Concealment Spell!"
As a high-grade spell, it corresponds to the late stage of Qi Refining and is so well-cultivated that it can even deceive the divine sense of Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The Nighthide spell has two effects.
Conceal your realm, hide your aura, and breathe in harmony with nature!
The latter is its main function; the former is merely an extension of its concealment ability, making it even more effective when used at night.
After his cultivation was completed, a black talisman-like pattern appeared on Wang Yu's chest. When spiritual power was poured in, it would take effect. Even if it was not activated, it would make him walk silently, breathe silently, and his clothes would flutter without making a sound.
The only drawback is that it consumes too much spiritual energy. With his current cultivation level, he can only last for half an incense stick's time at most. This will gradually disappear as his cultivation level improves, so it's not a big problem.
[Placement slot 2: Nighthide Spell (Perfect)]
"Night Concealment Spell (100/100): Practice for twelve hours a day, and it can be mastered in eight years."
The newly emerging description suggests that the time required to upgrade to a higher level is five years longer than that of the Ice Sword Technique, so there's no rush to implement it.
With this spell protecting him, Wang Yu's stealth was greatly enhanced, so he replaced the Ice Shield Technique with it. This was only a mid-grade spell, and it was part of the same set as the cultivation technique "Frosty Blood Technique," with the two complementing each other.
[Placement slot 2: Ice Shield]
"Ice Shield (12/100): 144 times a day, can be mastered in 26 days."
These 12 points represent the results of his research over the past three months. If he were to comprehend this standard on his own, it would probably take him ten years.
The point of the placement bar is that it not only allows you to practice all the time, but also helps you improve every time.
As Wang Yu learned more about it, he found it increasingly impressive.
"You can go and exchange for the alchemy inheritance now."
As for the [Corpse Demon Secret Technique], Wang Yu is still struggling with it. If he puts this technique into practice, his body will inevitably experience various abnormalities, and he still needs time to consider it.
Why not focus on alchemy first? He has a recipe for the Cold Blood Pill. If he can refine it, his cultivation speed will greatly increase. It's worth the effort.
The Nine-Leaf Frost Grass in Tantai Chan's herb garden is the main ingredient for refining the Cold Blood Pill. He could discuss buying some and slowly gather the materials for one set.
After completing his daily field patrol, Wang Yu went out to Zhudianfang.
The Sutra Repository.
Alchemy, artifact crafting, talismanic arrays, and other cultivation techniques are the four most highly regarded disciplines in cultivation, and the orthodox path is at a higher level in these areas.
Alchemy also has different categories, including fire refining and water refining methods.
The Fire Refining Method uses the high temperature of flames to refine the essence of spiritual materials. It uses the principle of Yin and Yang harmony to extract the parts needed to form the elixir. It is fast and effective.
The water refining method utilizes the gentle and pervasive properties of water to penetrate deep into spiritual materials, slowly extracting the medicinal essence needed to form pills. It is slow but highly effective, with an extremely high success rate.
The pills produced by the two methods are not of different quality; the only difference is the speed at which they are refined.
In terms of the success rate of elixirs, nine is the extreme number.
The limit of a single elixir or a single batch of pills is nine pills.
The water method can consistently produce seven to eight pills, which is just an average. However, it often takes several years to refine a batch of elixirs. The higher the grade of the elixir, the longer it takes, making large-scale supply impossible.
The range of success rates for fire-making techniques varies greatly. A poorly made batch might only yield one to three pieces, while a better batch might produce four to six. Only master craftsmen can produce nine pieces.
certainly---
This is also related to the proficiency in alchemy formulas. There are many factors that affect a fire-based alchemist, such as fire control techniques, spiritual strength, alchemy skills, pharmacological knowledge, and so on.
The method most suitable for Wang Yu is undoubtedly the fire refining method, which is also a common choice for alchemists. The large number of cultivators creates a huge market for low-grade pills, with supply falling short of demand.
Water-based alchemists are slower, but have a higher success rate in producing high-quality products. Their market is high-end, and they mostly offer customized services, allowing them to make a living for three years once they open a business.
I walked slowly past the bookshelves in the scripture hall.
"The Art of Fire Cauldron Alchemy," "The Art of Pearl-Spitting Alchemy," "The Art of Human Alchemy," "The Nine-Refined Alchemy," "The Art of Flame Alchemy"...
Wang Yu wasn't very satisfied with any of the inspections.
Either the price is too high, or the description is too one-sided and the heritage is not complete enough.
A complete alchemy lineage must include unique alchemical formulas, along with a set of fire control techniques and pill-condensing seals to truly demonstrate its value.
"Frostflame Alchemy Technique—"
Wang Yu paused, took down the jade slip containing the introduction, examined it, and then headed to the Hall of Transmission of Dharma, satisfied with the price of exactly one thousand contribution points.
Choosing it, its rare cold-attribute fire technique is very suitable for Wang Yu's current path. In addition, it is also a remnant of a third-order alchemy inheritance technique.
There is only one remaining unique formula, called the "Cold Dragon Pill".
The effect is as follows: After consuming and refining the pill, a can be conceived within the body, granting mastery of a cold flame power that advances in sync with the cultivator's realm.
This effect is no less than that of a Core Formation cultivator's natal magic weapon.
This single pill formula is extremely valuable, and its refining difficulty must be very high. Wang Yu was attracted by its difficulty.
In addition, the accompanying fire control hand seal and pill condensation seal are only at the first level and are severely incomplete, so the exchange price is only one thousand contribution points.
This level is sufficient for Wang Yu's use, and the placement slot can break through the upper limit of spells, which may be able to complete the incomplete spells. This time, he can use the "Frost Flame Alchemy Technique" to test it. If it can really complete the spells...
He will no longer hesitate to place the [Corpse Demon Secret Technique].
It achieves multiple benefits and pairs very well with the "Cold Blood Technique".
When he came out of the Dharma Transmission Hall, he had already handed over his most valuable token. Now he would have to earn spirit stones and contribution points on his own.
Returning to the herb garden of the Evil God's Workshop, Wang Yu began to comprehend the Cold Flame Alchemy Technique on his own. The progress was slow, but he was making great efforts.
It wasn't until the 125th day of his outer sect career, a full month later, that he perfected the Ice Shield Technique and then added the Alchemy Technique.
[Placement slot 2: Cold Dragon Alchemy Technique (Incomplete)]
"Cold Dragon Alchemy Technique (0/100): Practice twelve times a day, and it can be mastered in one year."
This was the first time Wang Yu had ever seen a vessel that could only be refined twelve times a day, meaning once every hour, and it would take a full year to complete.
