After the secondary occupation reached the maximum level, I wore it

The requirement for flame in alchemy is different from that in refining equipment. When the natal fire is still there, it can be controlled at will.

But now that only ordinary fire can be used, it is necessary to be more selective in the type of charcoal. Shi Yu put away the sweet pine charcoal used for refining the tool, replaced it with a few pieces of jade charcoal of medium size, and filled it into the alchemy furnace.

A stream of spiritual power was injected, the jade charcoal was ignited, and the flame slowly burned.

Compared with the fire started by sweet pine charcoal, the fire of jade charcoal is gentler and longer-lasting.

Speaking of alchemy, it can be roughly divided into four steps: purification, fusion, pill division, and spirit infusion.

In addition to the inherited elixir recipe, the refining process requires the identification of the medicinal properties of spiritual plants, the amount and degree of fusion of various spiritual plants, the intensity of the flame... These are all extremely complicated and require countless experiments and unique perception to grasp.

Shi Yu covered the alchemy furnace with her spiritual sense, and when the furnace was warm and the temperature inside stabilized, she bent her finger and flicked a Jade Dew Grass into it.

The entire body of the Jade Dew Grass is azure blue, and the round petals on the top of the leaves are bulging, like a drop of crystal clear dew, emitting a faint moisture.

As soon as the Jade Dew Grass was put into the alchemy furnace, it was engulfed by the flames. The petals at the top began to melt, and the stems and leaves turned black and gradually scorched. Soon, it was calcined into a ball of blue liquid, which condensed in the flames without dispersing... He grabbed another one with his right hand and threw it in. Shi Yu concentrated all his attention on controlling the temperature in the furnace.

If you are not careful at this time, the blue liquid will vaporize and disappear, or the liquid will harden and become unusable medicine waste.

Three Jade Dew Grasses were thrown in one after another, and the blue liquid gradually expanded and twisted and deformed in the flames.

The high temperature continued to burn away the impurities, and the liquid became smaller and smaller. After a while, only a ball the size of a pigeon egg remained, but the blue color became deeper and more charming, emitting a faint fragrance.

This was the simplest part of the alchemy process. Next, she had to keep the Jade Dew Liquid stable while using her spiritual consciousness to refine the Qi Gathering Grass into liquid and remove impurities. After that, while using her spiritual consciousness to maintain the stability of the two medicinal liquids, she had to use another part to refine the Half Orchid.

During this period, the three medicinal liquids must remain separated from each other. Once they come into contact, it will cause a disorder in the medicinal properties, affecting the subsequent fusion and pill division.

The Ninglu Pill, which is just a first-grade pill, has such high requirements for the control of spiritual consciousness. For higher-grade pills, the required spiritual plants may be more than ten or twenty kinds. The difficulty of refining can be imagined.

Next, Shi Yu threw three Qi Gathering Grasses and two Half Orchids into the flames.

If someone were watching, they would be amazed at how every movement she made was full of rhythm, flowing smoothly without any sense of awkwardness or sluggishness, and how her grasp of timing was just right without any deviation.

After purifying them into medicinal liquid separately, Shi Yu began the second step of fusion.

When the three liquids with different properties came into contact with each other, there was a hissing sound and wisps of mist emerged.

When the mist gradually dissipated, three liquid masses of different colors eventually turned into a brown liquid medicine. The smell emitted by the liquid medicine was stable and calm, which was very similar to the finished product of the Dew Condensation Pill.

Shi Yu controlled the liquid medicine, and used his spiritual consciousness and spiritual power to cut it into six or seven even parts. The rough-surfaced prototypes of the pills gradually appeared in the jade charcoal fire, spinning around.

After the pills are divided, the next step is to inject spirit into them.

Shi Yu cast a pill spell, slowly pouring the medicinal power scattered in the furnace into the pill embryos. The six or seven pill embryos with bumpy surfaces were quickly filled up and became round and smooth, each the size of a longan seed, and the color looked warm and pleasing.

She took out the prepared jade bottle, and with a move of her spiritual sense, freshly-baked Dew Condensing Pills lined up and rolled into the jade bottle through the mouth of the bottle.

Shi Yu took out a pill and looked at it carefully. The Dew Condensation Pill in front of him was a neat and smooth circle with a refreshing fragrance. The surface of the small pill was covered with a layer of misty halo... It was exactly the level of a top-grade pill.

Without the pill patterns, it is still a long way from becoming a top-grade pill of the next level.

In the past, when she refined this kind of low-level pills, they were always top-grade. But now, she devoted all her energy to the refining and tried her best, but she could only refine one batch of high-grade pills.

There was nothing she could do about it. In the game, she possessed a spiritual vein of top-grade fire attribute, and her innate fire was vigorous and blazing, which was of great help in alchemy.

Now, not only does she not have her natal fire, her spiritual vein is also of only low quality, and she is naturally less fiery, so it is already pretty good for her to achieve this level.

Furthermore, the materials used are also different. All the spiritual plants she used in the game have strong medicinal properties. Due to current limited conditions, the three spiritual plants she bought are all of low age. Judging from their medicinal properties alone, it would be considered good if she could refine a mid-quality pill.

This was also thanks to the spiritual energy within the Life-Knocking Bell, which benefited all of the spiritual plants, greatly increasing their medicinal properties and making it a top-grade pill.

Fortunately, the efficacy of the top-grade elixir can be almost fully exerted, and the toxicity of the elixir is very slight. It is enough to take, and it is much better than the low-grade dew-condensing elixir bought in the store.

When Shi Yu tasted one, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes. After being used to eating inferior Condensed Dew Pills, eating this superior one gave him a feeling of intoxication similar to oxygen intoxication.

The medicinal power is quite abundant and it quickly forms a very rich spiritual energy in the body.

After taking a breath for a while, she began to refine the second furnace.

……

She could refine about five furnaces of pills a day, and she refined them for several days in a row. Inside the life-knocking bell, there was a row of small jade bottles filled with dew-condensing pills, totaling nearly two hundred pills.

Shi Yu's failure rate in refining low-grade pills was extremely low, so his efficiency was amazing. Moreover, considering that he had to sell some of them to earn spirit stones, after refining the top-grade Condensed Dew Pills that were enough for him to eat for a long time, when refining the ones to sell, Shi Yu was less thoughtful and deliberately perfunctory.

Therefore, the more than one hundred pills produced later were mostly medium-quality pills, mixed with a small amount of high-quality pills.

In short, it is still out of caution to hide one's shortcomings.

There are never too many resources for cultivation, and one cannot just take things one step at a time; everything one needs must be prepared as early as possible.

The most commonly used elixirs in the Qi Refining Stage are the Dew Condensation Pill and the Rejuvenation Pill. The spiritual plants needed for these two kinds of elixirs can be bought everywhere, so there is no need to worry about them.

Shi Yu was thinking of an extremely important elixir that he would use later—the Foundation Building Pill.

After Qi Refining comes Foundation Building, which is a hurdle that blocks countless cultivators. If the foundation building fails, it will be fine if the realm is dropped. The most fatal thing is that after failure, the bottleneck will become thicker, and the probability of successful foundation building will be greatly reduced. There are also many people whose Dantian is damaged or even their lives are lost.

This further highlights the importance of the foundation-building pill. Stabilizing the yellow buds and increasing magic power can not only improve the probability of successful foundation building, but the cultivator can also gain more benefits and stabilize the empty period after breaking the mirror early.

Although Shi Yu is only in the initial stage of Qi Refining, the main ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill are extremely difficult to find, so he must always keep an eye on it.

There are also many rare and precious materials needed to set up the spirit gathering array, and none of them requires a lot of expense.

This will require the help of Jiang Qihe. Naturally, the more spirit stones the better.

He was preparing to take the pills to Tongyi Pavilion to sell them, but then he thought of asking Chen Er to run errands for him at Lingfu. If he asked him to sell the pills for him again, with Manager Jiang's cleverness, he would not be able to hide his alchemist's guise.

Shi Yu changed into women's clothes and covered her face with a veil: "I still have to go there myself. By the way, ask Manager Jiang to help me keep an eye on the spiritual plants and materials."
