Chen Dabing and Nan Huanuo flew all the way back to Piaomiao City. Fairy Nishang, Ting'er and others, who were a little worried, finally felt relieved. When Ting'er heard that they brought back more than a hundred demon pills of varying qualities, she immediately became excited.
She recently successfully refined a bottle of Qi-refining pill in her spare time from practicing, surpassing her master, Fairy Nishang, and is one step closer to becoming an alchemist.
Alchemist is the most popular profession among cultivators, but it is also the most expensive profession.
The main reason is that the materials for alchemy are expensive, and the success rate of alchemy is very low. People often collect precious materials and put them into the alchemy furnace to burn. The probability of successfully burning the elixir is very low, so low that it is unimaginable. Generally, the success rate of novices is zero.
After burning a lot of materials, I gradually figured out some tricks, and the pill production rate gradually increased from zero. When I could stably reach a 30% pill production rate, I was promoted to an alchemist.
Ting'er's pill production rate at this time is about 20%.
Using demon pills as auxiliary ingredients can increase the pill yield rate by 10%, instantly allowing her to reach the level of an alchemist.
When Chen Dabing took out the purple gold furnace again, she was so excited that she couldn't express it in words. If it weren't in public, she would definitely kiss and hug Chen Dabing.
The purple gold furnace was made by a famous craftsman. It increases the yield of pills below the foundation-building stage by 10%. No wonder it is sold at a high price of 100,000 spirit stones. Even ordinary alchemists cannot afford it.
As a result, Ting'er's pill production rate reached 40%. She was so excited that she said she wanted to start refining pills immediately.
When Chen Dabing was free, he wanted to learn how to make pills. If he didn't need spiritual power, he could also develop in this direction, because he graduated from the prestigious New Oriental University before traveling through time, and could be considered a half-trained chef.
"Sir, the first step in alchemy is to start the fire, and then you have to learn how to control the fire. In fact, mastering the fire is the secret to becoming an alchemist."
Ting'er raised her sword and pointed it at the purple gold furnace. Suddenly, a blue flame rose from the furnace. This was starting the fire, and controlling the fire meant adjusting the size of the flame.
"Therefore, mortals cannot make elixirs because you don't know how to start a fire!"
Immortal cultivators can control the elements of water and fire at will, such as the spells of fireball and ice cone stab. The firing spell that Ting'er mentioned is also this kind of spell, all of which are the effects of spiritual power.
Mortals do not have spiritual power, so they naturally cannot start or control fire.
Chen Dabing was very depressed and said, "Can't ordinary fire be used to make elixirs?"
Ting'er was stunned for a moment and said, "Ordinary fire? This is ordinary fire! Of course, there are also extraordinary fires. Grandmasters of alchemy master a special kind of flame called True Fire. Using True Fire to refine pills can increase the success rate of producing pills by 20%. However, becoming a Grandmaster of Alchemy is not easy; one must be at least at the Nascent Soul stage."
Chen Dadan felt that there was a gap in their understanding. He thought that the fire lit by magic was different from ordinary fire. The flame was blue. So he asked, "What kind of fire do the mortals here use to cook?"
Ting'er said, "It's just using this kind of ordinary fire. Oh, mortals can't make fire, but immortal cultivators will make something called a fire stick and give it to mortals. The process of making a fire stick is very simple. Just seal the fire element, and mortals can light a fire by opening the lid."
Chen Dabing slapped his forehead. It turned out that the mortals in this world could not survive without the immortal cultivators. He took out a lighter, lit it, and asked, "What kind of fire is this?"
There was no response for a long time. When I turned around, I saw Ting'er's expression was extremely terrified, as if she had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
"This is... the Three Flames True Fire. It's even more powerful than true fire. Sir, you can't control this fire. Once you get even a little bit of it, it will burn your soul to ashes."
Seeing her fright, Chen Dadan immediately extinguished the flame and said, "Are you sure this is the Three Flames True Fire?"
Ting'er's expression gradually returned to normal. She nodded firmly and said, "I'm certain. When I saw it, my soul trembled."
Chen Dadan was surprised, but he didn't doubt its authenticity. This was the setting of this world! So a lighter is also a weapon. Three Flavors True Fire, what a tacky name.
"So," Chen boldly asked, "can this kind of flame be used to make elixirs?"
Ting'er said, "The Three Flavors True Fire is three times more powerful than the True Fire of a Grand Master of Alchemy. If you can freely control it and use it to refine pills, you can increase the chance of producing pills by at least 60%, and the chance of producing high-quality pills is extremely high."
Chen Dabing's eyes lit up. This meant that the problem of starting the fire had been solved, and he could also make pills. Moreover, he would have a 60% success rate from the start, which was comparable to that of a great alchemy master!
"Very good, I will take you as my master now. Please teach me how to make pills!"
Ting'er said, "Sir, if you want to learn alchemy, Ting'er will teach you everything she knows. However, sir, you cannot use the Three Flavors True Fire to make the elixir. That fire is too terrifying. If you are not careful and your soul is burned, you will die, and it will be too painful."
Chen Dabao said, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
Next, I followed Ting'er to learn alchemy. This subject is not complicated, but it really costs money.
The lowest level of Huiling Pill requires the main ingredient of ginseng or Ganoderma lucidum, which must be more than ten years old. It is sold for one spirit stone, and one plant can only produce one Huiling Pill.
All alchemists start with Huiling Pills because this material is the cheapest and most suitable for training, but it also costs money. Ting'er said that she wasted a hundred furnaces before she successfully refined a Huiling Pill, and then it cost her at least five hundred spirit stones to improve her proficiency.
Now her proficiency in refining Huiling Pills is basically full, but the success rate is only 50%. To then refine the more advanced Qi-refining Pills, her proficiency needs to be honed again. Now her proficiency is barely halfway, and the success rate is 20%.
The minimum requirement for the professional title of alchemist is a 30% success rate in producing Qi-refining pills, and Ting'er is very close.
