Liu Yuanchen, who had already walked out of Qinghe Town, naturally did not know that there was such a thing in Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.

Relying on his identity as a disciple of Qingdan Sect, he returned to Yujin Mountain safely.

Entering the cave, Liu Yuanchen took out the red copper furnace, forced out a drop of blood essence, and dropped it into the furnace.

Then, a ray of spiritual consciousness was released, mixed with the essence and blood, and a universal master-recognition inscription was outlined on the bottom of the red copper furnace.

After dozens of breaths, the recognition pattern was completely formed.

Subsequently, the inscription was integrated into the furnace body.

He poured mana into the red copper furnace, and the palm-sized furnace instantly turned into a copper furnace nearly three feet high.

Liu Yuanchen entered the alchemy room with the alchemy furnace. This alchemy room also existed before.

A stone chamber two feet square, with a small stone pit in the middle, and there are traces of fire inside.

He placed the alchemy furnace directly above the small pit and placed a few dense charcoal blocks in the pit.

He took out two pieces of flint and knocked them against each other a few times.

The sparks from the flint fell on the charcoal, causing a small red flame.

The flames expanded rapidly and soon enveloped the bottom of the stove.

He doesn't know fire-attribute spells, so he can only rely on this simple and unpretentious method to light fire.

In the red copper furnace, an inscription glows faintly.

Soon after, the entire alchemy furnace became hot.

There is a faint flash of fire in the alchemy furnace. This is the first step in alchemy - the hot furnace.

Later, Liu Yuanchen took out a pound of golden rice and put it into the alchemy furnace.

What he wants to refine is Bigu Pill, the simplest among the first-level low-grade pills.

There are many versions of the Bigu Pill recipe, the simplest one is to use only Linggu.

By tempering the essence and condensing it into pills, you can refine it into Bigu Pill.

A monk who eats one pound of first-grade low-grade spiritual grain can be guaranteed not to be hungry for three days.

Taking three Bigu Pills can also guarantee that you will not be hungry for three days.

One Bigu Pill weighs only one coin, and one hundred Bigu Pills weigh only one pound.

It is better to eat Linggu cooked, while Bigu Dan can be eaten directly.

When going out, carrying Bigu Pill is obviously much more convenient than carrying Linggu.

Liu Yuanchen released the power of his spiritual consciousness, drew flames from the furnace wall, wrapped the golden rice, and extracted the essence from it.

He didn't deliberately detect it, but the distribution of energy in the rice grains was clearly visible through his senses.

As he was distracted, the flame in the furnace became a little unstable. He quickly stabilized his mood and activated the flame to roast the golden rice.

Use your spiritual consciousness to pull the energy in the rice grains, and without much effort, a small drop of liquid will flow out of the rice grains. This is the essence of the golden rice.

After losing their essence, the rice grains turned into ashes in a very short period of time.

After more than a hundred breaths, all the rice grains had disappeared, leaving only a ball of essence the size of a fist.

Tempering the essence of the elixir is an extremely important step in alchemy.

The upper limit of how many pills can be turned into is the step of refining the essence.

Assuming that the tempered essence is only enough to form two elixirs, no matter how exquisite the subsequent fire control and elixir condensation techniques are, they can only form two elixirs at most.

Liu Yuanchen was so surprised that he was distracted for a moment, and the flames lost control.

But in one breath, there was only a wisp of smoke and some ashes left.

When he failed to make alchemy for the first time, Liu Yuanchen was not depressed, but his face was full of joy.

The amount of essence that was just tempered is a bit ridiculous.

When I first started, I worked as a boy for a second-level alchemist.

The basics of his alchemy skills were all learned at that time.

Liu Yuanchen was also present when the alchemist taught his disciples how to make Bigu Pill.

The golden silk rice essence tempered by the alchemist is only about 90% of the essence just now.

In the end, the batch of Bigu Pills became five pills.

Using one pound of golden silk rice to refine Bigu Pill, the limit is six pills.

A second-level alchemist who can make five pills is already a master.

Liu Yuanchen whispered to himself: "I haven't officially stepped into the threshold of an alchemist yet, and my alchemy level is incomparable to that of a second-level alchemist.

But the golden silk rice essence I tempered was even more than his.

Also, when quenching the essence, I could clearly sense the energy distribution in the rice grains.

Just a little stimulation with spiritual consciousness, the energy flows out and condenses into essence."

"Being able to do this is definitely not due to alchemy. It should be related to the immortal seed.

Previously, I could sense the vitality of vegetation and extract it.

The essence in rice grains is also the energy in plants and trees. The two have something in common.

It should be the prototype of a blessed land. After modifying the exercises, the ability to sense the vitality of vegetation has been enhanced."

"The essence tempered before can be completely converted into six pills, which means that nearly 100% of the essence can be tempered.

For me, I can completely ignore the difficulty of refining the essence.

As long as you can improve your fire control ability to a qualified level, it will be easy to achieve a 60 to 70% success rate."

The success rate of elixir refining is around 30%, which can basically guarantee that you will not lose money.

If we can achieve a 60-70% success rate, that will be more than double the profit.

Alchemists are either fire-attribute or wood-attribute monks, and both have their own advantages.

Fire attribute monks are good at controlling fire, and it is not easy for a batch of elixirs to be scrapped.

However, there is not much refined elixir essence, and the elixir-formation rate is generally not high. It is considered good to achieve four or five achievements.

Moreover, the essence of the elixir they refine has many impurities, and the quality of the elixir is usually not high.

Wood-attribute monks have an advantage in tempering the essence of elixirs. The tempered essence is more, less impurities, the upper limit of the elixir formation rate is high, and it is easier to produce high-quality elixirs.

However, fire control capabilities are generally insufficient, the probability of all elixirs being scrapped is high, and the risk of furnace explosion is also higher.

The most suitable person to be an alchemist should be a monk with the dual attributes of fire and wood.

Liu Yuanchen adjusted his condition and started refining the Bigu Pill again.

Just like last time, he tempered a ball of essence the size of a fist without expending much effort.

After that, you need to divide this mass of essence into six parts, and then bake them with flames, that is, high fire to collect the juice.

It is also important to divide the tempered essence into several portions. If the number of portions is too much and each portion of essence is too little, it will be easily burned during the subsequent process of collecting the juice over a high fire.

Even if a pill is obtained by luck and the pill is too small, it will be considered a defective product and cannot be sold at a high price.

If the portion is too small, each portion contains too much essence, and the internal and external fires are uneven, it is very likely that the elixir will not be formed.

When each ball of essence is only the size of a dragon eye, it is the final stage of condensation.

It is necessary to reduce the firepower very quickly to solidify the thick elixir liquid into elixir pills.

From the time the fire collects the juice to the completion of the elixir condensation, during the entire process, if the firepower is slightly different, the essence may be completely burned to ashes.

Liu Yuanchen is a wood-attribute monk with a natural weakness in fire control. He failed more than ten times in a row before finally refining a Bigu Pill.

Looking at a bright yellow Bigu Pill, he felt a little excited.

After so much effort, we finally got results.

In the next four or five days, he refined several furnaces of Bigu Pills every day, and the rate of pill production soon increased to about 50%.

When refining any kind of first-level elixir, as long as the elixir yield rate exceeds 30%, you can be regarded as a first-level low-level alchemist.

The success rate of Bigu Pill is over 50%, so he is naturally a first-level low-grade alchemist.

It took nearly thirty kilograms of spiritual grain and more than sixty pills, barely keeping the cost.

You have just crossed the threshold of an alchemist. If you don’t lose money, you will win.

With the foundation laid by the Bigu Pill, Liu Yuanchen began to try to refine the Spiritual Recovery Pill.

The raw materials of Huiling Pill include five elixirs, and the refining process is similar to that of the previous Bigu Pill.

That is to say, there is an additional process of fusing the essence of different elixirs. This process is the easiest to explode.

With the foundation laid previously, the refining process went extremely smoothly.

It only failed twice, and on the third time, it successfully refined two spirit-reviving pills.
