The next day, the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone into the courtyard. At this time, Shen Ruiling, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly finished his exercises. The spiritual energy surrounding him was gradually absorbed into his body. His cultivation of the sixth level of Qi training had been polished to perfection. , there is only one chance to break through. At this time, the voice of second brother Shen Ruixiang came to mind outside the door:

"Ninth brother, the second elder is waiting for you in the inner hall. Come over quickly."

"Okay, second brother."

As he spoke, Shen Ruiling opened the door and followed his second brother Shen Ruixiang towards the inner hall. Entering the inner hall, Shen Ruiling saw his grandfather and third uncle discussing things. Seeing Shen Ruiling's arrival, he said to Shen Jinghong:

"You go ahead and do your work first. I will handle that matter in person later."

San Bo turned around and saw Shen Ruiling and said in surprise:

"Ruiling, your cultivation has improved a lot overnight. You will soon catch up with people of our generation. It's better to be young!"

"Uncle San is joking. How can my nephew compare with you? I'm going to see grandpa first, and I'll talk to you later." Shen Ruiling said with a smile.

"Go, go, the second elder is waiting for you, I have to go and do some work." After saying that, he walked to the front room.

"Good morning, grandpa!" Shen Ruiling said hello to his grandpa first. The minimum etiquette of respecting elders and younger ones should still be observed.

"Ling'er, you are about to break through to the late stage of qi training. Okay, later you and I will go to the family fire cave and let grandpa see how far you have become as an alchemist." Shen Huanqun He said happily.

Under the leadership of Shen Huanqun, he walked towards the Earth Fire Cave. After crossing a few streets, a short spiritual mountain appeared in front of Shen Ruiling. This spiritual mountain was much shorter than the one in his family, and its aura was also a little worse.

"Don't underestimate this mountain. This is an active volcano. It was sealed by Master Jin Dan with his great magical power." Shen Huanqun explained this to his grandson, showed the sign to the guard, and took it with him. Shen Ruiling opened the crypt restriction.

This underground fire room was rented by the Shen family. As a second-level high-grade alchemist, Shen Huanqun's own cultivation was only in the Qi training stage. He could not produce real fire until he reached the foundation building stage, so the family was in Shanghai. An underground fire room was rented for Shen Huanqun to refine elixirs, which could save the alchemist's spiritual power and increase the rate of elixir production.

Of course, renting this underground fire cave costs 300 spiritual stones for a year. Fortunately, Shen Huanqun's alchemy level is already very high. Even the second-level high-grade spiritual elixir can have a 50% success rate. Calculated this way Excluding the rental fee, the Shen family's elixir shop in Shanghai Shangfang can earn seven to eight hundred spiritual stones, which is already a large amount of income for the family.

The flame in the middle of the stone chamber was so dazzling. Although the ground fire was sealed by the bronze faucet, the scorching temperature also made Shen Ruiling uncomfortable. Shen Huanqun closed the restriction, turned around and asked:

"I have been refining alchemy in this city for the past few years, and I haven't paid much attention to you. I heard from the clan leader that you have become a first-level high-grade alchemist. You have made great progress in the past few years. What do you think of the elixir conversion rate? "

Shen Ruiling said seriously:

"The success rate of first-order high-grade elixirs is close to 70%, and the other 80% are still available."

"Your elixir production rate is already very high. It seems that your alchemy talent is better than mine. Now you can try to refine second-level low-grade elixirs. If the family can produce another second-level alchemy master, it will be easier to share the burden. It's your seventh uncle's responsibility and mine." Shen Huanqun said with a satisfied look on his face.

Shen Ruiling said seriously:

"My grandson will definitely live up to grandpa's expectations, but I haven't seen a second-level elixir recipe yet."

"Don't worry, I've arranged this for you. You can take this." Shen Huanqun took out a yellowed animal skin from his storage bag and gave it to Shen Ruiling.

"This is the second-level low-grade Bigu Pill recipe. Although it is a second-level elixir, it can be refined with just a few first-level spiritual grasses and spiritual grains. The family itself can provide it, and you can save some as you become more proficient. Spiritual stone.

I have brought you some materials, and your third uncle will send some over in a few days. Next, you will carefully watch me practice a furnace. Second-level elixirs cannot be mixed together casually like first-level elixirs. "

After speaking, he took out a second-level high-level alchemy furnace from his storage bag. Since Shen Huanqun was promoted to a second-level high-level alchemist, the best alchemy furnace in the family has been given to him for safekeeping.

Although the founder brought out a set of third-level high-grade alchemy inheritance from Qingyun Sect, the alchemy furnace in the family only has second-level high-grade alchemy furnaces. A third-level alchemy furnace requires not only a third-order high-grade alchemist but also a third-order high-grade weapon refiner. It can only be refined together, so the best one in the family can only be of the second level and top grade.

Shen Huanqun began to preheat his alchemy furnace on the ground fire, and used his spiritual power to control the firepower of the faucet. Shen Ruiling also watched his grandfather's every move with bated breath, not daring to make a sound.

Shen Huanqun began to open the alchemy furnace, put in a few handfuls of spiritual grains, and closed the furnace lid. Each fingerprint began to control the alchemy furnace and the flames. The spiritual grains in the furnace began to slowly turn into a pool of liquid under the high temperature. Shen Huanqun Use your spiritual power to control the pool of spiritual grain liquid and start the process of removing impurities.

This is also the most difficult process in elixir refining. Only when the impurities are removed enough can the elixir be finally condensed, otherwise it will be just a ball of ash. With Shen Huanqun’s many years of experience, refining this bigu elixir was of course easy. He started adding auxiliary materials blindly. The elixir, in order to let Shen Ruiling see it clearly, deliberately slowed down its movements.

“You have to pay attention to the amount of these ingredients.”

The auxiliary elixir in the furnace also turned into juice and was mixed with the spiritual grain liquid. A thick fragrance of grain filled the air.

“Look carefully below”

I saw Shen Huanqun adjusting the earth fire and controlling the liquid in the furnace to start to condense. This is the last step of alchemy, "condensing the elixir", and success or failure will be determined here.

Under Shen Huanqun's control, the liquid began to condense, a stream of elixir fragrance spread out from the furnace, and four Bigu elixirs appeared in the furnace. Shen Huanqun sealed the earth fire, used his spiritual power to take out the four elixirs and threw them to Shen Ruiling.

"You have to pay attention to the time when removing impurities, as well as the ratio of materials and the control of the fire in the furnace. You have to think about it yourself. You first have a look at the recipe, combined with the four Bigu Pills I gave you, what don't you understand? You can ask me."

An hour later, under Shen Huanqun's guidance, Shen Ruiling understood this prescription.

"You can make a furnace in front of me later and try it, so I can show it to you," Shen Zhuangqun said.

Shen Ruiling followed his grandfather's example and began to put the spirit grain into the furnace, controlling the heat to let it dissolve into a liquid. The spirit grain quickly turned into a liquid, which made Shen Ruiling a little excited, and then put in other auxiliary spirits. After medicine,

Suddenly there was a "bang" sound, and a puff of black smoke came out of the alchemy furnace. Shen Ruiling knew that the elixir inside had been used up by himself.

"You put in too many auxiliary ingredients, and you didn't control the heat well. When you remove the ingredients, you need to calm down and be careful, pour out the residue and continue." Shen Huanqun analyzed the cause of the failure and asked Shen Ruiling to start.

After several more furnaces were fired, Shen Huanqun also taught Shen Ruiling some skills and experiences.

"I will leave this underground fire room and this alchemy furnace to you for the next time. You should hurry up and carry the alchemy skills up. These four bigu pills will be your food for the next days. I will go back to the shop first." After saying that, Shen Huanqun left the underground fire room.

Shen Ruiling sat down, carefully recalled the observation and his grandfather's words, and slowly digested what he had learned.

Finally, Shen Ruiling started his alchemy career again. Although he had refined elixirs before, they were all first-level elixirs that could be refined with ordinary fire. Their effects were only useful for mortals and had no effect on Qi-training monks. use.

Refining the second-level elixir now also gives him a headache. Fortunately, his character is still strong and he is not discouraged by repeated failures. Every time he reflects on his mistakes.

Did he fail to control their ratio? Or was the heat too high? These questions appeared in Shen Ruiling's mind. Of course, these discoveries required him to practice again and again to discover his own problems.

Successive failures will make people feel so powerless, but Shen Ruiling pours out the residue and starts again.

Failure, failure...

A few days later, when Shen Jinghong sent someone to deliver the materials, Shen Ruiling had almost used what his grandfather had left, took the batch of materials, and hurriedly put them into refining the elixir.

After failing countless times, a stream of elixir fragrance came out from the elixir furnace. Shen Ruiling looked at the Bigu elixir in his hand. Although the quality was average and the elixir-formation rate was not high, it already showed that he was a true elixir. A second-level alchemist, he put the elixir into the bottle with joy.

Shen Ruiling sat down cross-legged to recover the spiritual energy consumed in the elixir refining just now. As the "Qingyun Jue" started to operate, the spiritual energy circulated along the meridians over and over again for a week.

Suddenly, the surrounding spiritual energy began to rush towards the body quickly, and the spiritual energy in the meridians converged towards the Dantian. The spiritual power in the Dantian finally broke through the bottleneck of the sixth level. A large amount of spiritual energy entered, causing the spiritual power reserve in the Dantian to reach the upper level. Shen Ruiling knew that he Breakthrough.

We are now at the seventh level of Qi training and entering the late stage of Qi training. It can be said that it is a double blessing. Not only has the alchemy been broken through, but also my own cultivation has also broken through.

Shen Ruiling suppressed the joy in his heart and lay down on the stone bed. During this period of time, he had been refining pills day and night and had a sudden breakthrough that even a monk could not afford. Shen Ruiling was ready to have a good sleep.
