Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 76 Six Years
Half a month later, all the servants and the manager of Yan's Alchemy Shop were replaced.

After Yan Qingwan reported to the clan members about Zheng Tianxiang's attempt to win over Li Ji'an, the clan members were very decisive and did not bother to investigate one by one.

Nor did they go to great lengths to protect any of the people who might have been bribed or threatened.

Especially what Yan Zongsheng, the head of the Yan family, said to Yan Qingwan: Human nature is a mixture of good and evil. We praise and reward loyal and righteous people, but we cannot require everyone to be loyal forever. It is just a matter of weighing the pros and cons. What we need to do most is to let our clan members understand that only within the clan can they gain the greatest benefits and minimize harm.

While opening up trade routes, the right path is to strengthen oneself, provide more resources for the tribe, and ensure the safety of the tribe members to the greatest extent possible.

Afterwards, Yan Zongsheng, on behalf of the clan, rewarded Li Ji'an with fifty spirit stones and promised that as long as Li Ji'an left the city, he could apply for protection from the clan's late-stage Qi training elders. If Li Ji'an really met with an accident because of this, the clan would do its best to seek justice for him.

At the same time, it also comforted him that the other party in the market would not dare to act recklessly.

This incident made Li Ji'an look at the Yan family with a higher regard.

However, whether it can become stronger step by step in the future is still unknown.

Having lived five lives, I have seen so much. Whether it is individuals or groups, many times ability does not mean success.

Afterwards, Li Ji'an became even more low-key, and he only went between his residence in the west district and the alchemy shop. In the early days, in order to combine theory with practice and hone the alchemy fire in the middle stage of Qi training, it was common for him to live and eat in the alchemy room for three consecutive months.

half year later,
"Zheng~" In the dead of night, a crisp sound was heard in the alchemy room.

Li Ji'an was neither hurried nor slow. He first slowly subsided the deep red alchemy fire, and then opened the alchemy furnace.

"It's done!" Looking at the primary Qi-nourishing Pill with a little golden glow in the furnace, Li Ji'an was not too excited.

After half a year of training and combining theory with practice, this was the first time he had refined a high-quality elixir.

Although there is not much difference between primary Qi-nourishing Pills, top-grade, fine-grade, and even top-grade ones, after all, they are all used by minor cultivators in the early stages of Qi training and are of similar low value, but this represents a qualitative leap in his pill-making skills.

There are too many factors involved in the quality of the pill. The pill formula is the foundation, as well as the selection of medicinal materials, the control of the pill fire, the grasp of timing, spiritual perception, technique and mentality, the stability of the pill furnace, the abundance and stability of spiritual energy... Any slight difference may lead to a huge difference in the quality of the pill.

The most important thing is that neither the medicinal materials nor the environment are static. If you want to be sure of controlling the quality of the pills, the alchemist needs extremely high understanding and adaptability.

Fortunately, Li Ji'an's "rejuvenation" not only brought him a powerful soul, but also increased his understanding.

In the past six months, he has not tried to refine intermediate-level pills. After all, those medicinal materials are not cheap.

Moreover, given the current state of his fire, he had to use all his strength to stimulate the fire required for intermediate-level elixirs, and was unable to make fine adjustments. As a result, he could only guarantee the success of refining, but not the quality.

Now his elixir fire far exceeds the power required for primary elixir fire, so he can control it calmly. Only by refining primary elixirs can he train his ability to control elixir fire.

As long as he can control the elixir fire to perfection and the power of his elixir fire is sufficient, theoretically he can guarantee the quality of any level of elixir.

But there is probably no hope of making Danhuo go further in this life.

After observing carefully for a moment, Li Ji'an swallowed the Qi-nourishing Pill in one gulp.

Then he closed his eyes and carefully felt the difference between the high-quality elixir and the previous mid-grade, high-grade and even low-grade elixirs.

"Brother Li, what kind of pill was that just now... Why are you trying it yourself? All medicines are poisonous, especially this primary pill that is no longer useful to you. The accumulation of poison in the pill will affect the effect of the pills you take in the future." Not long after, Yan Qingwan, who had just gone to take a nap nearby and couldn't bear it anymore, came back.

Giving her a gesture to silence her, Li Ji'an continued to comprehend.

In recent years, he has been actively learning about the situation in the world of cultivation, and having gained insight into the fundamentals of cultivation, his understanding of his own life has become increasingly clear. At first, he unexpectedly learned that his physique and soul could make him a little more flexible than others, and he thought that this could narrow the gap in his spiritual roots. He even naively hoped to build a foundation, but he gave up this idea when he reached the middle stage of Qi training.

Nowadays, compared to exhausting everything on the almost hopeless cultivation of magic power, it is obviously more cost-effective to accumulate experience and trump cards for the next life.

It was because he personally tested the medicine that he gained a deeper understanding of the way of alchemy and was able to comprehend things that others could not teach him.

Yan Qingwan said no more and sat quietly by the side, waiting. After a while, Li Ji'an slowly opened his eyes, a look of joy on his face.

He understood the most important difference between fine-quality elixirs and top-grade elixirs!
"In this way, the success rate of producing high-quality pills should be guaranteed!" He was secretly happy but did not show it.

In the eyes of outsiders, alchemists who cannot be promoted to the first-level intermediate or advanced level are of little value.

Even if you refine a top-grade primary pill, it is still a primary pill and has no meaning.

Three months ago, when he personally refined a top-grade primary pill, Yan Qingwan sighed repeatedly, lamenting that Li Ji'an had such a good talent for alchemy, but did not have a good spiritual root. Otherwise, if he could advance to the late stage of Qi training, he would surely become a senior alchemist of a generation.

If he knew that I had refined a high-quality pill at this time, there was no guarantee that he would beat his chest and stamp his feet and say: God is jealous of talented people!

"Next target: top-grade elixir!"

After Li Ji'an added his insights into the book "Li's Alchemy Biography" he compiled, he shared his experience with Yan Qingwan.
-
In the following six months, Li Ji'an continued to study the art of alchemy and optimized and improved almost all the primary alchemy recipes he got. The success rate of making fine pills reached 60%. Unfortunately, he still had not reached the threshold of making top-grade pills.

However, he had a vague feeling that the top-grade elixir was not only related to human power, but should also be related to the spiritual inspiration of heaven and earth. It would be almost impossible to not touch that trace of spiritual inspiration.

It may also be related to my own mentality. I am afraid I am a little impatient.

Just stop forcing it and stay calm.

On this day, something happened that made Li Ji'an happy.

During this year, Yan Qingwan's alchemy skills improved, the success rate and quality of intermediate-level pills increased significantly, and the pill shop began to make real profits.

Yan Qingwan handed over the 150 spirit stones of dividends promised to Li Ji'an to Li Ji'an.

Adding the fifty spirit stones awarded to him by Yan Zongsheng before the New Year and the monthly salary of eight spirit stones in the past two years, his net worth exceeded three hundred for the first time. He immediately went to the market to buy a piece of Thunder Flame Crystal, hoping to make further progress in body refining.

At the same time, he also bought a bottle of spirit beast pill for Gua Gua for the first time, which can help the spirit beast transform.

I have to say, Gua Gua has been with him for six years, and it's really pitiful. He has never taken any beast pills that can really help his cultivation. He has almost always eaten the lowest grade animal food. Sometimes he even needs to catch dragonflies and insects in the yard to survive.

The little thing never complained about this. After all, in its heart, Li Ji'an was its savior.

"I hope it can be helpful to me in my next life." Patting the quack's head, Li Ji'an threw a Ningbi pill to it.

The moment he received the Ningbi Dan, Li Ji'an seemed to see tears welling up in his eyes.

A few days later, Li Ji'an received another piece of good news: Zhang Tiezhu had given birth to a son two years after his marriage.

Received a batch of resources as a reward from the tribe.

He spent a spirit stone to buy a jade token for nourishing qi in the market, and asked someone in his tribe to send it back as a token of his gratitude.

The alchemy shop began to make a profit, and his financial resources grew. In the days that followed, in addition to studying alchemy, he also took time out every day to practice physical training. He also began to study the art of taming beasts and consciously cultivated Gua Gua, and his life was very fulfilling every day.

Five years flew by.

On this day, Yan Qingwan, who had been promoted to a first-level senior alchemist, walked in with a frown.

At the same time, it brought a piece of news that also interested Li Ji'an.

"The former Yan family's dedicated alchemist, Mo Zishan, has appeared at the Zheng family's alchemy shop and has become the Zheng family's dedicated alchemist. Today, they are holding an alchemy appreciation conference. It is said that he has been promoted to a first-class senior alchemist and has even refined a high-quality Qi-boosting pill!"

　This is my last chance to read the new book, next Monday. I beg all book lovers to help me read the latest version. This is the only time. Please.
