My Optimized Immortal Life

After Di Jian's physical transformation, his magical power cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. In just a few days, he could clearly feel the progress of his magical power. According to his estimation, after practicing for another four months, he would be able to advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

This cultivation speed is already very fast, and he has not yet included the time for taking the pills. If he takes the pills again, it will be even faster.

His cultivation had made some progress and his physical transformation was complete. Di Jian could no longer hold back. After consulting Chen Qing, he left the courtyard and went to the sect.

Chen Qing was not surprised to see this.

Seven days after Di Jian left, an acquaintance came to visit, which surprised Chen Qing.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, there has been further progress in alchemy!"

Hearing this, Shi Yu, the only alchemist in Luoying Sect, couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.

He was wearing a tattered grey robe, his hair was like a chicken coop, and his face was covered in gray, as if he hadn't taken care of it for a long time.

Chen Qing had anticipated this. Shi Yu was a complete alchemy fanatic. He spent the entire day in the alchemy room, either refining pills or on his way to make pills.

He bent his back, took out a green pill from his arms, and said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, this is the Xuanyuan Pill I recently refined. It can enhance the mana of Jindan cultivators."

Chen Qing exclaimed in surprise, took the green pill handed to him by Shi Yu, looked at the light-colored pill pattern on it, nodded involuntarily, then moved closer and sniffed it.

"Hmm... I used Xuanling Flower, Linyuan Grass, and Biqing Snake Gallbladder. The medicinal properties are correct, but most of these spiritual herbs are of the second tier. Even if they can increase the mana of a Jindan cultivator, I'm afraid the effect will be minimal."

Chen Qing thought for a moment and said so.

Hearing this, Shi Yu smiled.

"This pill is used to verify whether the medicinal properties can be integrated. Whether it's Xuanling Grass or Linyuan Grass, I have third-tier spiritual herbs with similar medicinal properties. If this pill can be refined, it means that I can also refine it using those third-tier spiritual herbs."

He paused, an exaggerated smile on his face.

"If it is truly refined, it will undoubtedly greatly increase the elders' cultivation speed. In this way, Luoying Sect will also be able to have a few more cultivators in the late Jindan stage."

Hearing this, Chen Qing nodded, and then swallowed the Xuanyuan Pill in one gulp.

The magic power flows and refines it immediately.

Feeling the pill flowing with magic power, turning into a stream of pure magic power and entering his dantian, Chen Qing couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He had no doubt that the Xuanyuan Pill could enhance the magic power of the Jindan cultivator. After all, Shi Yu was a third-rank alchemist, and his attainments in alchemy far surpassed Chen Qing. The effects of the pills he refined would basically be correct.

Moreover, as he expected, after refining some Xuanyuan Pills, the increase in mana was only equivalent to the amount he would gain from practicing for about seven days. This was not a small amount for a second-level pill, but it was not of much use to a Jindan cultivator.

However, it is not difficult to refine this Xuanyuan Pill. The medicinal power of various spiritual medicines in it is perfectly combined and works together to assist each other. Chen Qing only needs to use his magic power to absorb it and does not need to use magic power to dissolve it.

As an alchemist, Chen Qing knew that he could not do this.

This requires the alchemist to be completely familiar with the medicinal properties of each elixir and be able to blend them perfectly.

Although Chen Qing can use his innate ability to quickly familiarize himself with, or even master, the recipe of a certain elixir, his strength lies in refining elixirs with recipes. He cannot do what Shi Yu does, who deduces and integrates the medicinal properties on his own to refine elixirs.

Seeing Chen Qing swallow the pill he made, Shi Yu asked excitedly.

"How is it? Has your magic power increased? Is there anything wrong?"

Chen Qing looked at him and smiled.

"Although Fellow Daoist Shi's elixir is only of the second level, its medicinal properties are perfectly integrated. Every bit of medicinal power is utilized without any waste. It is truly a miraculous skill."

Hearing Chen Qing's praise, Shi Yu couldn't help but laugh. As an alchemist, it was a great compliment for someone to praise the pills he made, especially when the other person was also an alchemist.

"Not much more to say, Fellow Daoist Chen. I've already brought the alchemy book you requested. I'll go back and try to refine the third-level Xuanyuan Pill."

After saying that, Shi Yu took out several books and handed them to Chen Qing, then immediately turned around and left without any delay.

Seeing him in such a hurry, Chen Qing couldn't help but shake his head. Shi Yu's appearance reminded him of an old friend. However, a hundred years had passed, and the old Taoist must have passed away.

As his thoughts raced, Chen Qing turned his gaze to the books on alchemy in his hands. He flipped through a few pages and couldn't help but smile when he saw some of the alchemy theories and medicinal properties of elixirs recorded on them.

This is the alchemy book that Shi Yu has accumulated through his practice so far. It contains all his alchemy skills. After hearing Chen Qing say that he wanted to take a look, he took it over for him to comprehend.

If I can comprehend all these books on alchemy thoroughly, not to mention breaking through to the third level, at least I can have a full understanding of the medicinal properties of most of the spiritual medicines in the Central Region, and my accumulation of alchemy skills will become deeper and benefit me endlessly.

Holding these alchemy books, Chen Qing was a little impatient. He immediately opened one and started reading.

"All medicines are hot, cold, and poisonous. The meridians converge at the Dantian, and they have the effect of harmonizing the five elements..."

The viewpoints in the book are the result of Shi Yu's life-long refinement of alchemy. Every word is precious and easy to understand, which made Chen Qing feel as if the fog had been cleared and everything was suddenly enlightened.

It turns out that elixirs can be understood in this way, and the medicinal properties can be coordinated in this way.

As a second-level alchemist, Chen Qing had some insights into alchemy. However, after reading Shi Yu's alchemy book, he suddenly felt that his previous level was too low and he had only slightly touched the threshold of alchemy.

In the next few months, Chen Qing summarized his own experience in alchemy while referring to Shi Yu's book on alchemy. After memorizing the medicinal properties of the thousands of elixirs described in it, Chen Qing felt something in his heart, and the third-level bottleneck that had trapped him for a long time was broken.

He suddenly realized that he had reached the level of a third-level alchemist.

Chen Qing was overjoyed at his breakthrough in alchemy and immediately started refining the elixir.

He had stayed in the Great Wilderness for so long, so naturally he had collected quite a few third-level spiritual medicines.

"Golden Water Vine, Hidden Heaven Leaf, Soulless Fruit..."

He threw more than ten kinds of spiritual medicines into the alchemy furnace. The three-colored spiritual flames urged it to burn fiercely, causing the spiritual medicines to blend together and turn into pure medicinal liquid. The medicinal properties were compatible, and there was no waste at all. This was something Chen Qing had tried for a long time but failed to achieve.

Although he has natural abilities, they can only help Chen Qing become familiar with the process of alchemy. The final refining process still requires Chen Qing to do it himself. His previous experience in alchemy was not enough, and he would always waste some liquid medicine when refining medicine. This had no effect when refining low-level pills, but it turned into a bottleneck, preventing Chen Qing from breaking through the third level.

Now that Chen Qing has comprehended most of the Shi Yu Dan Book, he can blend all the medicinal liquids together again, without any conflict in the medicinal properties and without any waste.

"start."

He gave a light drink.

The magic power flowed, and he reached out and patted the alchemy furnace, and the lid of the furnace opened wide. Several pills rushed out of it and were all collected by Chen Qing.

Looking at the third-level elixir he had refined, Chen Qing nodded, joy welling up in his heart.
