BXBX NOVEL Chapter 96 - 96: Pill Refinement
The inheritance of alchemy in the Tian Xuan Sect was not complete, but it was enough for He Qingge.
Previously, when he was learning talismans, he had also listened to the basic alchemy course, but he had not practiced it.
Was alchemy very difficult? It was actually very difficult!
Firstly, he had to identify the herbs and know the effects of the various spiritual herbs in the world as well as the interactions between them.
That alone could stop 99% of the people.
It was impossible for all the spiritual herbs in the world to be recorded in books. In fact, they could even mutate at any time.
There were no records of the medicinal effects of these mutated spiritual herbs in the books, so it was quite difficult to distinguish them.
The records of the medicinal effects of spiritual herbs passed down in the sect were not necessarily completely accurate.
Unless it was a top alchemy grandmaster who could rely on the medicinal effects to refine the medicinal pills he wanted.
Otherwise, if others wanted to refine medicinal pills, they would have to have a pill formula.
There were not many pill recipes in the Tian Xuan Sect, but they still had some basic pills.
Other than that, the cultivator also needed to have his own alchemy fire. The alchemy fire spell He Qingge cultivated was one of them.
One needed to cultivate the art of Igniting Fire to the level of a master to be able to nurture a wisp of elixir fire. One could imagine how high the threshold of refining pills was.
He Qingge’s current comprehension of the art of Igniting Fire had long been cultivated to the acme of perfection.
In the previous battle, the fire dragon was already quite powerful with the Igniting Fire technique.
If one was unable to generate an elixir fire and wanted to learn how to refine medicine, one could only rely on external flames.
For example, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire was a rare item that could only be born under certain conditions.
There was also the core flame in the sect.
The Red Dust Fire Lotus that He Qingge had obtained could also be considered a special spirit fire.
The Qi Nourishing Pill was a pill used to assist in the cultivation of the Qi Refinement Realm. The medicinal effect was mild and could speed up the cultivation speed.
[Materials required for refining: Medicinal cauldron, three basic spirit coins, hundred-year-old Medicinal Qi Accumulating Grass, hundred -year-old medicinal mountain ginseng, Seven-Star Light Flower.]
This set of materials could at most be used to refine three bottles of pills, and one bottle could at most contain 12 pills.
This was the most ideal situation.
These supplies were not a problem for He Qingge at the moment.
However, the medicinal cauldron needed to be prepared well. After all, it would be used for a long time.
The small bronze cauldron he had previously was only the most basic medicinal cauldron. It was actually very difficult to refine medicinal pills using that.
A good medicinal cauldron was the strongest assistant to an alchemist. It was an indispensable item.
Increasing the success rate of refining pills could also make the pills purer…
When he arrived at the sect’s Thousand Treasures Pavilion, he saw that they basically had all kinds of treasures that he wanted. One could use spirit coins or points to exchange for them.
“Steward, come out for a moment!”
Not long after, a middle-aged scholar with a sage-like appearance appeared in front of He Qingge.
There was a familiar smile on his face.
“Legacy disciple, I’m sorry to have made you wait.” Wang Fu immediately bowed.
“I came here to choose a medicinal cauldron.” He Qingge nodded coldly.
“Have you just started refining medicine?”
“Yes, I’m preparing to learn it now.”
“I have three cauldrons here that I can recommend to you. “All of them are the top-tier medicinal cauldrons.”
“Please introduce me to them!”
“This is the Black Flame Cauldron. It’s a medicinal cauldron made of Black Flame Stone. When it’s used, it will emit a black flame. For alchemists in the mortal realm, it can help them control the flame very well.
“The Dragon Tiger Cauldron is the fusion of the dragon and the tiger, the completion of the Golden Core. It secretly conforms to the principles of the eight trigrams of heaven and earth. It was created by our sect’s refining elder,
Tian Yuanzi.”
He Qingge examined the cauldron a few more times. The cauldron was shaped like a dragon and tiger, and there were pictures of dragons and tigers on the walls.
It did look good.
“The third cauldron is called the Scarlet Flame Cauldron. Its effect is very similar to the Black Flame Cauldron. It’s very useful for cultivators in the mortal realm.”
Wang Fu introduced the three best level-one cauldrons to He Qingge.
After all, basically no legacy disciples would buy a level-one medicinal cauldron.
They all used evel-two medicinal cauldrons at the start. The main thing was that their strength was also basically all at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
He Qingge could control the a level-two cauldron, but it would take a lot of effort to do so.
Only the Foundation Establishment Realm would be called the true beginning of entering the Dao.
He Qingge carefully examined the three cauldrons.
“Then I’ll take this Dragon Tiger Cauldron. How much spirit coins does it cost?”
“The basic price is 20,000 spirit coins, but since you’re a legacy disciple, I can give you a discounted price of 18,000 spirit coins,” said Wang Fu with a smile.
He Qingge nodded after hearing this. This was much more expensive than other magic tools.
He Qingge’s supreme-grade magic equipment was only worth close to 10,000 spirit coins at most.
The conversion between spirit stones and spirit coins was not fixed. The main thing was how much spirit energy was contained in it.
Under normal circumstances, one unit of spirit stone could be refined into a few spirit coins, but the labor cost was also quite expensive.
Therefore, every time he used spirit coins, it was equivalent to paying a fee to these people.
After paying the spirit coins, he took the bronze Dragon Tiger Cauldron in his hand and examined it.
The color was quite good. The painting of the dragon and tiger was quite imposing. There was an image of the eight trigrams of heaven and earth below the medicinal cauldron.
The feeling of holding it was extremely warm, and the spiritual power flowed into it quite smoothly. He Qingge nodded in satisfaction.
He Qingge was so straightforward that Wang Fu was all smiles.
This kind of level-one magic tool was basically unsellable in the Thousand Treasures Pavilion. No outer sect disciple would spend so much money to buy a medicinal cauldron. They did not even have enough spirit coins to use for their own cultivation.
“What pill do you want to refine? You can buy the materials you need from me, and I’ll give you the cheapest price.
“Then give me 100 sets of ingredients for the Qi Nourishing Pill.” He Qingge nodded.
Wang Fu took a deep breath. This was really a big move. This move shocked him to his core. No wonder He Qingge was a legacy disciple. He was really generous.
“Senior, please wait a moment. I’ll go prepare immediately.” After saying that, he left in a hurry.
He Qingge sat on the chair and waited without saying anything.
After waiting for a long time, no one came to serve him tea. He could not help but sigh at the service attitude.
Bored, he began to look at the treasures in the pavilion.
The Thousand Treasures Pavilion lived up to its name. It had everything from talismans, magic tools, pills, spells, cultivation techniques, puppets, and so on.
Looking at the puppet on top, He Qingge was a little tempted.
What moved him was not the puppet but the refinement method of the puppet. It would have quite good effects in many aspects, especially in terms of life-preservation.
He Qingge considered himself a person who cherished his life..
