Mysterious mirror hanging high

After about half an hour of simmering over a low fire, the pill in the furnace finally took shape. Seeing that the time was ripe, Jing Yu followed the techniques taught in the alchemy tradition and injected several streams of water magic power into the high-temperature furnace.

A large amount of water vapor suddenly erupted from the originally blazing alchemy furnace. Jing Yu slammed the furnace hard, and three gray pills flew out of it. He used his spiritual power to catch them back in his palm.

Jing Yu opened his palm and saw three Qi-enhancing pills with pitted shells and dark gray in color lying quietly inside.

"It seems that water-based cultivators are not completely unsuitable for alchemy. At least water-based mana is quite useful in the final stage of condensing the pill, not to mention the 'water refining method' in alchemy..." Jing Yu weighed the pill in his hand and sighed:

"The quality is too poor. I'm afraid it contains a lot of erysipelas impurities and won't sell for much."

However, if there was an alchemist watching Jing Yu making the elixir, he would be so shocked that his eyes would pop out!

It's nothing, a Qigong alchemist who can make three pills on his first try is not rare, but simply does not exist!

If an ordinary cultivator wants to refine pills, he needs to follow the steps and first be a fire-fanning boy for several years, then be a medicine-preparing boy for several years. Only when he has a certain amount of experience in the medicinal properties of pills and the temperature of refining pills can he start refining pills on his own.

Even so, the first time you open the furnace to refine the elixir, you can basically only produce a furnace of elixir ash. If the furnace does not explode, it can be considered a natural talent!

Even a true genius in alchemy could at most refine a furnace of useless pills that contained more poison than medicinal properties. It was extremely rare for someone like Jing Yu to refine three inferior pills that were still usable.

However, one's own family knows one's own business. Jing Yu knew that he was by no means some rare genius in alchemy. The reason he was able to make three pills in the first furnace was not because of his natural talent in alchemy, but because of his divine consciousness!

Ordinary Qi-cultivating cultivators have not opened up their sea of ​​consciousness and are unable to use their spiritual thoughts to detect the specific conditions of the spiritual medicines and herbs in the alchemy furnace. If they want to refine the elixir, they can only rely on their past experience, which naturally results in half the effort and twice the result.

But Jing Yu only needed to use his spiritual power to know clearly what stage the elixir in the furnace had reached. He only needed to follow the steps in the alchemy tradition step by step, and it would not be difficult to make the elixir.

"No wonder Foundation Establishment cultivators, whether refining elixirs, drawing talismans, setting up formations, or refining weapons... as long as it involves Qi training, most of them can do it effortlessly. It's all due to the power of divine thoughts. Even in the art of puppetry, puppets controlled by divine thoughts are far more powerful than those driven solely by spirit stones!"

Jing Yu once again felt the dimensionality reduction attack of the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator on the Qi Condensation Realm cultivator.

Perhaps because he had just opened up his sea of ​​consciousness, Jing Yu's spiritual power was still relatively weak. He had just refined a batch of Qi-invigorating pills at a high intensity, which had almost consumed his spiritual power. He needed to let it recover naturally for a while.

Unable to open the furnace to refine pills in a short period of time, Jing Yu simply started to tinker with the spiritual materials he had bought from the market before, preparing to make a [Qi-Yi Dan Puppet].

This puppet is no simpler than the Hercules puppet. Both in terms of the number of parts and the level of sophistication, it is one of the best among the many puppets of the Qi training level. Fortunately, Jing Yu has the help of his divine consciousness, so there are no insurmountable technical difficulties for the puppets of the Qi training level.

But even so, processing spiritual materials, refining the torso, polishing parts, assembling and splicing, lubricating joints... dozens of complicated processes took Jing Yu five full days of effort before he could barely make a puppet that met the standards.

Looking at the [Yiqidan Puppet] in front of him, which was short in stature, had a huge belly, and looked like a tumbler, Jing Yu felt that it was not actually a puppet, but more like an alchemy furnace that could automatically refine elixirs.

The method of using this puppet is fool-proof. You just need to put a spiritual stone at the back of its head, and then put the spiritual herbs and medicines needed for the Qi-boosting Pill into the secret compartment on its chest, and wait for an hour.

Jing Yu followed the prescribed steps, and the puppet really began to operate on its own.

He probed his remaining spiritual power into the puppet's abdominal cavity and was shocked.

"This, this technique..."

This puppet seemed to be the best teacher for refining Qi-boosting pills. Every step of the alchemy was so precise that it was frightening. After observing it for a while, Jing Yu actually found that his attainments in alchemy had improved a little!

An hour later, the puppet's red, heated abdomen gradually cooled down, and the tightly closed shell slowly opened.

Jing Yu's mind moved, and five flawless, round, and white Qi-boosting pills shot out from the puppet's abdomen and landed in his palm.

"This Qi-boosting Pill..." Jing Yu couldn't hide the shock in his eyes: "It's too perfect!"

"The five Qi-boosting pills are exactly the same, with no difference in their medicinal properties! The medicinal properties of each one are at the average level of a senior Qi-cultivating alchemist!"

“How can the quality be controlled so precisely?”

Jing Yu couldn't help but sincerely admire Jiu Ming Daojun's puppetry skills. Even if it was just a Qi training level puppet, it had already exceeded the scope of what the lower realm could imagine!

According to [The True Explanation of Puppets: Qi Training], a Qi-Invigorating Pill Puppet needs two to three days to cool down and repair after refining a batch of Qi-Invigorating Pills, which basically coincides with the time it takes for ordinary Qi-training pill masters to refine pills and rest (even if they don't use their spiritual thoughts to refine pills, refining pills is extremely exhausting and requires rest). To refine pills at this frequency, a Qi-Invigorating Pill Puppet requires three low-grade spirit stones every year.

What is this concept?

This was equivalent to Jing Yu using the price of three spirit stones per year to hire Niu Ma, a master-level alchemist who had mastered the art of making Qi-enhancing pills, to make pills for him!

Three spirit stones per year...

The alchemists who were imprisoned in the Xiancheng prison in Fangshi who made alchemy to atone for their crimes all burst into tears when they saw this.

This kind of treatment applies to guests of a cultivation family. The clan leader must test every pill for poison, no matter how high or low it is! This is to prevent the guest alchemist from harboring resentment and adding some condiments to the pills...

Jing Yu sealed the five Qi-boosting pills into a jade bottle, and while holding the bottle, he couldn't help but feel troubled.

Originally, he planned to sell the pills produced by this [Qi-enhancing Pill Puppet] in the name of an alchemist.

But now, looking at these five identical Qi-boosting pills, if the puppets produced in the future all have the same constant quality, and Jing Yu ships them in large quantities to the market, I'm afraid anyone will be able to see the problem, which will not be very safe.

"Alas, it seems that we have no choice but to change our strategy."

Jing Yu thought about it carefully, and finally had to overturn his previous idea and come up with another plan.

In the future, I will sell the Qi-invigorating pills I refine to the market, and I will eat the standard Qi-invigorating pills refined by the Qi-invigorating pill puppet myself. Since the Qi-invigorating pills themselves can also be used as the essence of body refining, I will use most of the standard Qi-invigorating pills for body refining, and strive to make the [Bitter Crossing Sutra] break through to the foundation-building realm as soon as possible. A small part will be used for Qi training to speed up the improvement of my Qi training level.

Once your realm breaks through to the late stage of Qi training, you can naturally turn to refining the [Qi Condensation Pill] which is more suitable for cultivators in the late stage of Qi training to improve their cultivation. At that time, the speed at which you earn spirit stones will be further accelerated!
