Drunk Immortal Gourd

But something is better than nothing. There are still five years left before the Alchemy King Meeting. With his super talent in alchemy, it is not a problem to master the refining of foundation-building level elixirs. Passing the first level is not difficult. It should be Can get the opportunity to soak in the alchemy pool.

As for the second and third levels of the Alchemy King Meeting, Qingyang is not sure at all, and he doesn't dare to have too many extravagant hopes now. He can only rely on God's will.

The agreed time of three days has come, Qingyang didn't delay for a moment, went directly to Duanmu Song, and returned the volume of Yuan Dan Zhen Jie to him. The Duanmu family had already prepared a batch of materials for refining the Yuan Yang Dan for Qingyang. There were more than a hundred copies, which was enough for Qingyang to use for a long time.

True to his word, Qingyang took Duanmu Fei and his brother directly back to the small courtyard where he lived, and explained the basic herbal medicine technique to them, which took him two full days. Both Duanmu Fei and his brother had some knowledge in alchemy. Many things were similar and they were very efficient in learning. When the time came, Qingyang found a spiritual herb atlas and threw it to the two of them so that they could read it themselves.

After Duanmu Fei and his sister left, Qingyang locked himself in the alchemy room and began to become familiar with the method of refining Yuan Yang Dan. He did not use those materials, but sat quietly on the ground, filtering the refining method of Yangyuan Pill over and over in his mind. What kind of techniques are needed to process materials, whether your techniques are proficient, will it affect the refining of elixirs, what are the difficulties in matching materials, how to deal with any problems encountered, etc.

This situation lasted for nearly ten days. When Qingyang felt that he had mastered all the steps of using Yuan Dan to refine Yang Yuan Dan, and there were no more problems, Qingyang took out a piece of material. , and began to try to refine it.

Naturally, the first refining failed. Qingyang's mood was not affected at all. He knew that this was the only way to go. No matter how skilled he was in his mind, he would still make mistakes when he actually started doing it. Qingyang did not clean up the alchemy furnace, but quietly looked at the residue in the alchemy furnace, thoughtfully.

After a long time, he seemed to have figured out the problem. Qingyang adjusted his mood slightly, took out another material, and continued to try to refine the Yuan Yang Dan.

Failed, failed, failed again, and failed again. After that, Qingyang failed more than ten times in a row. He wasted a lot of materials, but couldn't even refine a single Yuan Yang Dan. He couldn't help but feel a little impatient, and even said that I have doubts about my alchemy talent. Is this still the alchemy wizard who refined the Foundation Establishment Pill during his Qi refining period?

Seeing that half a month had passed and the refining of the Yangyuan Pill had not been successful, Qingyang had no choice but to end the retreat and find Duanmu Song for advice. Duanmusong didn't say much, he just briefly talked about some of his experiences in refining the Yangyuan Pill. After some exchanges, Qingyang felt that he had benefited a lot, so he returned to his residence to continue refining the Yangyuan Pill.

Maybe what Duanmusong said was really useful, maybe Qingyang came out and adjusted his mentality, maybe it was luck that couldn't be stopped. After re-retreating, Qingyang refined Yangyuan on the first try. Pill, although the quality of the pill is not very high.

With the first success, things will be easier to handle after that. As the number of refining times increases, Qingyang's success rate becomes higher and higher. When fifty ingredients are refined, Qingyang's success rate is still only More than 10%. By the time 100 materials are used, the success rate has reached over 20%. With more than 100 materials used up, Qingyang's success rate has reached nearly 30%, which is far from the 30% success rate required by the Foundation Establishment Alchemist. It's still a little worse, but not too different.

With more than a hundred ingredients, Qingyang refined more than thirty Yuan Yang Pills, and together with the dozen pills he had obtained from the Duanmu family treasury, it was almost enough for him to use for a whole year.

With the use of elixirs, Qingyang did not fall behind in his cultivation. In the following days, he spent two days every month teaching Duanmu Fei and his brother the elixirs. The rest of the time he practiced in seclusion in the courtyard where he lived to improve his cultivation. , practice concentration arts, and occasionally practice sword formations.

As for alchemy, without Qingyang's urging, the Duanmu family would send him a batch of materials for the Yuan Yang Dan almost every six months, with more than a hundred copies each time. Duanmu Song didn't know to what extent Qingyang's alchemy skills had been improved, but he could guess that Qingyang could already refine the Yuan Yang Dan. As for the success rate, it would definitely not be too high.

Duanmusong himself mastered the refining method of Yangyuan Pill sixty or seventy years ago, and now the success rate is only over 30%. Qingyang, a beginner, can achieve more than 10%.

It is precisely because of this consideration that the Duanmu family sends materials every six months. With a success rate of more than 10%, the elixir produced is almost enough for Qingyang to use. Little did they know that Qingyang's success rate in refining Yuan Yang Dan reached 30% after half a year. More than a hundred ingredients were enough to refine nearly fifty pills. Apart from using them himself, there was still a large amount left.

Time flies very fast. In the blink of an eye, more than four years have passed. Qingyang's cultivation has already reached the peak of the third level of foundation building. As he had guessed before, he has encountered a bottleneck that is not too big or too small. Unable to break through to the middle stage of foundation building, it seems that we can only wait for the Alchemy King to meet.

Maybe it was Duanmusong's performance in front of Nangong Rui last time that played a role, maybe Duanmusong's reputation as the number one monk on Wucheng Island was still useful, or maybe it was Qingyang's arrival that made others dare not act rashly. Everything is safe in the Duanmu family. Not only the Nangong family, but also Ximen Ying and Murong Zhu didn't come to cause trouble. It seems they are really afraid.

In more than four years, the Duanmu family has changed a lot. Duanmu Fei's cultivation has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, Duan Mulin's strength has reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, and Duanmu Tong's cultivation has also been upgraded to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment. Only Duanmu Song has not changed much, but is getting older and older.

Originally, Duan Moutong had no chance, but Qingyang accumulated more and more Yuan Yang Dan, so he gave some to him. After five years of getting along, Qingyang and the Duanmu family were still somewhat in love. He couldn't bear to see the Duanmu family decline after he left, so he gave Duanmu Tong some Yuan Yang Dan in the name of trying the elixir. Fortunately, Duanmu Tong As expected, the breakthrough reached the middle stage of foundation building.

With Duanmu Tong, a mid-stage foundation-building monk, in charge, even if Qingyang leaves in the future, other families will not dare to provoke the Duanmu family casually, because the deterrence of a mid-stage foundation-building monk is stronger than that of an outsider like Qingyang, unless it is If it is exposed that Duanmu Song is an empty frame, or other families unite to attack Duanmu City, otherwise Duanmu City will be fine.
