The original repairer

Shi Chen's cultivation has successfully broken through the first level of Qi training and reached the second level. After a month of consolidation, his cultivation is also steadily improving and making continuous progress every day.

To improve to the third level of Qi Refining, it would take two years at the current progress of cultivation. If you want to speed up, you have to use better elixirs.

For example, mid-grade and high-grade Qi-nourishing Pills, or even better Soul-Nourishing Pills.

The speed at which I earn spirit stones is now quite acceptable, and I can barely use top-grade Qi-nourishing Pills. However, top-grade pills are hard to come by and there is no demand for them.

A bottle of medium-grade Qi-nourishing Pill requires six spirit stones, and a bottle of high-grade Qi-nourishing Pill requires ten spirit stones. Three bottles should be consumed per month.

Practicing magic requires spiritual power recovery pills - Qi-replenishing pills. A bottle of low-grade Qi-replenishing pills requires five spirit stones, and its effect is to restore spiritual power within two consecutive hours.

In the past, Shi Chen had no spirit stones, so he could only use up the spiritual power in his dantian every day and practice to recover at night.

Now that I earn spirit stones, I buy a bottle of Qi-replenishing pills every month so that I can use them when practicing spells, which can quickly improve my spell proficiency.

Over the past six months, Shi Chen's spell proficiency has improved significantly, and the results are very noticeable.

This season's harvest is four thousand kilograms of spiritual rice. Shi Chen plans to use a month to refine one hundred furnaces of fasting pills.

After selling these pills and obtaining spirit stones, I purchased the recipe for the Qi-Nourishing Pill and the spirit medicines needed to refine the Qi-Nourishing Pill. I will start refining the Qi-Nourishing Pill next month.

If you can produce Qi-nourishing Pills yourself, the pressure on financial resources and cultivation resources will be greatly reduced.

He collects two thousand kilograms of spiritual rice from Song Yu every month, plus his own four thousand kilograms this season, which is enough for use.

A month later, Shi Chen felt very satisfied with the final results.

He refined 103 Bigu Pills, but wasted three because he initially refined four pills a day, but his spiritual energy was insufficient, and the pills eventually became useless. Overall, he successfully refined 100 Bigu Pills.

Among these one hundred furnaces of Qigong pills, there are six hundred and ninety low-grade Qigong pills and four hundred and eighty-five medium-grade Qigong pills. In the following days, a lot of high-grade Qigong pills were also produced, totaling twenty-five. This was an unexpected surprise.

According to the price of the barter pavilion, this batch of fasting pills is worth two hundred low-grade spirit stones.

So far, Shi Chen has sold seventy bottles of low-grade Qigong pills to the Yiwu Pavilion, and there are still thirty bottles left to meet the agreed target of at least one hundred bottles of low-grade Qigong pills.

This time, we can make up for the quantity of 30 bottles, complete the transaction with the barter pavilion, and conclude the contract.

After dealing with all the pills, Shi Chen's assets reached 345 low-grade spirit stones.

Now that he has a lot of assets, it's time to buy a storage bag to more conveniently store materials and pills.

However, the price of storage bags is very high. The lowest-level storage bag requires one hundred low-grade spirit stones and only has a space of ten feet square.

After buying the recipe for the Qi-Nourishing Pill and twenty furnaces of spiritual medicine for the Qi-Nourishing Pill at the sect's Alchemy Hall, he had one hundred and five low-grade spirit stones left, so he went to the barter pavilion to buy a lowest-level space storage bag.

Returning to his wooden house beside his spiritual field, Shi Chen began to study the recipe for Qi-nourishing elixir in peace and concentration.

Every morning, he would refine two batches of fasting pills and summarize his experience in alchemy. In the afternoon, he would study the pill formulas and pharmacopoeia, the principles of alchemy, and practice spells. In the evening, he would practice the exercises and improve his cultivation.

Time passed by unknowingly, and twenty days was like a snap of the fingers for a monk.

The recipe for the Qi-nourishing Pill was already memorized; every step, requirement, and detail was deeply imprinted in his mind. Today, Shi Chen began his first attempt at refining the Qi-nourishing Pill.

Bath, burn incense, and calm your mind.

Cleaning the alchemy furnace and sorting the elixirs, every step was done in an orderly and meticulous manner.

The first batch of Qi-nourishing Pills ultimately failed. Summarizing the problems, he discovered that the timing of adding the purified medicinal liquid during refining was incorrect, and the subsequent method of refining the pills was also unfamiliar.

The Qi-Nourishing Pill is already a first-level elixir, and it is difficult for an alchemy apprentice to refine it. Apprentices who can refine the Qi-Nourishing Pill can go to the Alchemy Pavilion to be certified as a first-level alchemist.

A first-level alchemist receives thirty low-grade spirit stones per month from the sect, and one day of training in the first-grade spirit spring secret realm. His status is equivalent to that of an inner sect disciple.

To enjoy these benefits from the sect, one not only needs to be a first-level alchemist, but also needs to complete the sect's monthly alchemy tasks. According to the deacon of the alchemy hall, the sect requires first-level alchemists to refine twenty furnaces of first-level elixirs for the sect every month, and to hand in six pills from each furnace, which must be of low-grade quality or above. The higher the quality and the greater the quantity, the better the sect's rewards and benefits.

The process of certifying a first-level alchemist is not complicated. Every year, the sect holds an assessment for alchemists to certify alchemists as alchemists. As long as you pass the assessment, the sect will issue a first-level alchemist token.

A first-level alchemist needs to know more than 200 first-level spiritual medicines and be familiar with the growth environment, properties, zodiac signs, and medicinal properties of each spiritual medicine. In addition, they need to refine ten furnaces of first-level elixirs. Only by successfully refining at least three furnaces can they be considered a qualified first-level alchemist.

There are differences among alchemists of the same level. Some only know one recipe, while others know several. 4 Few alchemists learn all the first-level recipes, and mastering one or two recipes is enough to earn resources.

Normally, as long as one learns two or three commonly used recipes for each level of pills, one can thrive in the world of cultivation.

Those seeking elixirs will bring their own elixirs and ask the alchemist to help refine them, and the cost needs to be negotiated by both parties.

If the alchemist successfully helps to refine a batch of pills, he will give half of the pills to the person who asked for them, and the other half as a reward.

This is an unwritten rule in the alchemy industry.

When an alchemist refines pills, the furnace is filled with twelve pills. Normally, six pills are qualified.

There are very few alchemists who can refine a perfect pill. If they can refine ten pills, they are considered a master.

Shi Chen has been learning how to identify spiritual medicines and the basic knowledge of various spiritual medicines, spiritual fruits, and spiritual objects. He has memorized more than 300 first-level spiritual medicines and spiritual fruits, and more than 100 second-level spiritual medicines.

From many notes and random reports, I learned about the general elixirs of many elixirs.

There are different methods for refining each type of elixir.

Some are based on the main medicine, combined with auxiliary medicines, and followed by corresponding steps to refine them into a pill.

Some are based on auxiliary medicines to activate the main medicines, and through certain techniques, they are used to refine pills.

An alchemist is proficient in refining two or three kinds of elixir recipes, and can refine each recipe skillfully. If he can make five out of ten furnaces of elixirs successfully, and the number of successful pills is more than six, such an alchemist is already very famous, and those who seek medicine line up to wait for his help in refining the elixir.

The improvement of Dandao is also very important. Only by continuous learning can we make continuous progress.

Every month, the sect’s alchemists provide free lectures and guidance. Each session has a different alchemist giving lectures and answers. The class is always packed with students, and Shi Chen is never absent.

Among all the alchemists, Shi Chen's favorite is a second-level alchemist named Wu Xin.

Each lecture lasted only an hour and a half, one hour of which was devoted to explaining prescriptions, elixirs, fruits, and objects, as well as the complementary and mutually restraining properties of elixirs in common prescriptions, and comparing theory and practice. He used half an hour to answer questions and difficulties encountered by apprentices during the alchemy process.

His explanation benefited Shi Chen a lot. When he was learning many prescriptions, he found that the medicinal properties were not consistent, the medicines conflicted with each other, and sometimes they did not conform to pharmacology. Through Master Wu Dan's explanation, many doubts were resolved.
