Chapter 18 Refining Essence Pills
Chapter 18 Refining Essence Pills
Yuan is taken from one of his names, while Jie comes from the place where he fought bloody battles when he was a border soldier.
Two-Boundary Pass.
Despite its impressive-sounding name, it's just a place where two small countries fight each other on their border.
However, that was also the path he had taken, so Jiang Yuan left his name as a memento.
After Long Xuan led the way, she prepared to leave.
Jiang Yuan reached into his sleeve. According to the traditions of this world, he should give a reward, a generous one.
But when he touched it, he found only a few mid-grade human-level essence pills. These pills would be considered top-quality treasures if given to ordinary outer disciples.
But for an inner disciple like Long Xuan, who already possesses a magical artifact, it's far too much of a stretch.
Long Xuan smiled and said, "Senior brother, I've shown you the way, so I'll head back now. But I wonder if I could visit you again sometime in the future?"
"Junior sister has some cultivation tips she'd like to ask her senior brother."
Is it after my body, the body of a true dragon?
Jiang Yuan glanced at Long Xuan, knowing that she had the bloodline of a dragon maiden, but at the same time he thought to himself, no wonder Elder Tianxing waved his sleeve and chased him away that day.
So it turns out she's just like him, poor.
No, that's not right. It's him who's poor, not the Grand Elder of the Feathered Ascension Sect.
The Grand Elder is an ancient giant, a master of the Longevity Realm. Even a single hair plucked from him is richer than he is now.
He was merely a minor, mysterious realm of supernatural powers.
Jiang Yuan nodded, agreed on a time to meet Long Xuan again, and then he was left alone, with only a mountain peak towering over the earth.
"Yuanjie Peak".
From now on, this will be his mountain all to himself.
Jiang Yuan can raise flying cranes, cultivate medicinal fields, refine magical artifacts, and invite others to duel here.
You can also take on apprentices, raise demonic beasts, and concoct elixirs here...
That's great.
All of this must be earned by oneself, because at this moment there are no beasts in the beast garden, no herbs in the herb field, and no pills in the alchemy room.
He also had no apprentices.
Inside the palace, the floor was made of jade and adorned with luminous pearls. On the table were neatly arranged a stack of clothes, a true inheritance token, and a flying sword.
These are all symbols of his status as a true disciple.
Jiang Yuan reached out and picked them up. The clothes were spiritual artifacts, and the flying sword was also a spiritual artifact, both priceless. It was quite good.
The treatment is much better than that of outer disciples.
In addition, he also had his own alchemy room, which contained an alchemy furnace that was taller than a person and had a bulging belly.
The outside of the alchemy furnace is carved with many flame talismans, and there are various springs and water sources next to the furnace.
It is the grade of the alchemy furnace that determines its status as a magical artifact.
In other words... it's not mainstream.
"Why am I so poor!"
Jiang Yuan was sullen. He placed the Kui Shui Jiaolong's egg in the alchemy room, and a thousand essence pills flew out and landed in the jade bottles on the shelf next to him.
At least he has a salary to eat now, so he won't starve.
Moreover, he searched through the alchemy hall of the Feathered Ascension Sect and found that the formulas for human-grade pills were given away for free.
He found two good recipes for grain pills among them.
A mid-grade human-level Essence Pill and a top-grade human-level Foundation Establishment Pill.
"My alchemy furnace is fine for refining mid-grade human-level essence pills, but if it were to refine top-grade human-level foundation-building pills, it would probably explode."
Jiang Yuan's face twitched slightly as he chose to start refining Essence Pills. The medicinal herbs weren't expensive; one batch of herbs cost only one Essence Pill.
He bought a hundred copies, intending to practice first.
In the cultivation of immortality, wealth, companions, methods, and land are indispensable.
Among these resources were various elixirs used in cultivation, so as a cultivator, he had to learn how to refine elixirs.
Jiang Yuan waved his sleeve, and the medicinal materials for refining the Essence Pill were laid out in front of him one by one.
Jingyuan rice, Sanyang flower, Sanshui sunflower mushroom...
These were all relatively common spiritual herbs and rice, which could be found even in the mortal world. With a wave of his sleeve, Jiang Yuan sent these spiritual herbs flying into the alchemy furnace.
Call ~
The earth fire beneath the alchemy furnace erupted forth, scorching the essence rice and other spiritual herbs into streams of crystalline or crimson liquid.
While referring to the instructions on controlling the fire in the elixir formula, Jiang Yuan used hand seals to adjust the size of the earth fire and the true sun fire on the cauldron lid.
There are two types of fire in the alchemy furnace. One is underground fire, which is plentiful and filling, but it is too hot and violent.
The other is the true fire of the sun drawn down from the red crystal at the top of the furnace. Although the quantity is small, it is very pure and can scorch the gas.
When the two are combined, they become the flames commonly used by cultivators in alchemy.
One day later.
Jiang Yuan timed it perfectly, flicked his sleeve, and lifted the lid of the alchemy furnace, revealing the slightly yellowish-brown gas inside.
The timing of condensing some medicinal herbs into liquid was not precise enough, causing them to be charred and blackened.
However, in the very center of the alchemy furnace, there were ten round, white pills lying there.
"It's done!"
Jiang Yuan's eyes were filled with joy. He succeeded in refining medicine on his first try. Wouldn't that mean he was a genius at refining medicine?
"Again!"
Jiang Yuan meditated briefly, took the Essence Pill to restore his depleted magical power, and then resumed refining medicine.
The charred dregs were moved to the other side, and the second portion of the Essence Pill flew into the furnace.
Bang! The furnace lid slammed shut, and the second batch of pills began to be refined.
……
Before we knew it, another five days had passed.
Jiang Yuan has been staying in the alchemy furnace all this time, without taking a single step out.
He sat cross-legged on the futon, deducing the combination of medicinal energy inside the furnace with his eyes closed, while calculating the time to open the furnace.
Sudden.
A surge of flames erupted within the alchemy furnace, as the true fire of the sun clashed with the earth fire, causing the furnace to vibrate and tremble, on the verge of losing its balance.
Jiang Yuan took a deep breath, channeled his magic power, and slammed it against the cauldron lid. Bang! The lid was blown away.
A pillar of fire shot out from the furnace with a roar, and after a long while, the essence pill inside was finally revealed.
One hundred round pills!
Moreover, it only takes two hours to refine a batch.
In other words, if Jiang Yuan didn't eat or drink and just kept refining pills, he could refine 600 pills a day, which would amount to 18,000 a month.
"I really am a genius." Jiang Yuan smiled as he closed the furnace lid and put away the Essence Pill.
He already has over three thousand Essence Pills, enough for three months' worth of food, so there's no point in refining any more.
Because alchemy also consumes a lot of energy and spirit, one needs to meditate from time to time to restore one's magical power.
"Is there a method to increase cultivation level through alchemy?"
Jiang Yuan muttered to himself, "If I had that, I wouldn't have to go through all this trouble."
He walked out of the alchemy room.
Jiang Yuan, who hadn't seen a waterfall in a long time, felt a refreshing sensation as rows of abundant water vapor flew over, making him feel as if he were lying in a mist.
It would be nice to refine medicine next to the waterfall in the future.
Jiang Yuan smiled, and suddenly noticed that outside the mountain peak, a young man in white was walking over in a sullen manner, one step at a time, until he reached the mountainside in front of him.
It is Fang Han.
Jiang Yuan was puzzled, but with a wave of his hand, he used his magic to send the teapot and other tea utensils flying over. They were made of jade and were delicate and exquisite.
Fang Han did not accept the teacup. Instead, he remained silent for a moment before saying in a hoarse voice, "Jiang Yuan, I'm sorry."
"I've lost your Three Waters Mist Gourd."
