Immortal Space

Chapter 115 Second Tier Alchemist

Yangyuancao and other elixir for refining Yangyuandan, he had already started cultivating it a few years ago.

However, due to the limited space and the long growth period, he has only accumulated more than 500 copies of materials so far.

Each copy of Yangyuan Pill material is worth about 500 spirit stones, and these more than 500 copies of materials are already worth nearly 300,000 yuan.

An alchemist who can refine first-order elixirs in the world of cultivating immortals is called a first-order alchemist.

Since the supply of first-order elixirs is relatively sufficient, most of them are not expensive. As long as you are willing to spend about 50,000 spirit stones, you can train a first-order alchemist.

So although there are not many first-level alchemists, basically every decent family or faction will have one or two.

Although the initial investment is large, as long as it is successfully cultivated, it is equivalent to an old hen that can lay golden eggs, and there will be a steady stream of income in the later stage. As long as the financial resources are sufficient, it is still very cost-effective.

The number of second-tier alchemists is extremely scarce. First, the resources needed to train second-tier alchemists are a huge amount. Even if you sell all the small families, you can't gather so many resources.

Even if some middle-level forces barely make up these resources, it will not take a day or two, and it will often take decades.

Finally, after working hard to train a second-level alchemist, there will still be a serious problem, that is, there is no elixir to refine.

Second-level elixir grows slowly, ranging from one to two hundred years to as many as six to seven hundred years. During this long period of time, sometimes several batches of people died, and it may not be possible to cultivate the elixir.

It is also very difficult to buy elixir, which leads to the fact that second-level alchemists often have no alchemy to make. If they are unlucky, they will not even be able to earn back the cost of training alchemists.

Refining the second-order elixir requires the use of the second-order spirit charcoal. The firepower of the first-order spirit charcoal is already insufficient to effectively melt the elixir, refine impurities, and extract the essence.

Second-order spirit carbon needs to be refined with second-order spirit wood, and the price is not cheap. One piece of spirit carbon needs 30 spirit stones.

There is no spiritual wood planted in the space for refining spiritual carbon. He cut off the densely grown branches from those second-order spiritual fruit trees.

Chop these branches into two or three feet long, put them in the alchemy furnace, cover it, and then calcinate it with first-order spirit carbon.

In some workshops for refining spiritual carbon, there are specially built carbon kilns.

Wang Hong doesn't use much anyway, and his alchemy furnace is so huge that it can be used to temporarily refine some spiritual charcoal.

The spiritual charcoal refined from spiritual fruit branches is better than the spiritual charcoal sold in the market.

The shapes I made by myself are not so regular, and the charcoal after firing still looks like branches.

Anyway, I just use it for myself, and I don't plan to sell it, so what the hell.

Wang Hong took out a portion of Yangyuan pill ingredients and placed it beside the pill furnace.

He made a cup of spiritual tea first, using the spiritual spring water and spiritual tea in the space. The spiritual tea in the space has the effect of eliminating fatigue, clearing the mind and sharpening the mind.

Drink a cup of spiritual tea beforehand, this should increase the success rate.

After everything was ready, he started alchemy.

Take a few twig-like spiritual charcoal and put it under the alchemy furnace to ignite, and then hit a few fire control formulas towards the flame to adjust the size of the flame to a suitable position.

Wang Hong sensed the temperature inside the furnace, and threw a Nourishing Grass into the alchemy furnace. However, the firepower seemed insufficient, and the Nourishing Grass showed no signs of melting.

He once again shot two spiritual spells at the flame, and the flame rose rapidly, and then a burning smell came out.

The fire was too big, the nutrient grass was scorched, and it was destroyed at the first step.

However, Wang Hong was not annoyed. He was not familiar with the flame temperature and the characteristics of these types of elixir when he was refining a second-order elixir for the first time. He must have destroyed many furnaces before he could master it.

Readjust the flame and put in the elixir again. With the previous experience, the elixir melted into a green liquid medicine smoothly this time.

Then gradually put various other elixir into it, and it turned into a large mass of liquid in the pill furnace.

The next step is to refine the impurities. If the impurities are not refined in this step, all the pills will be refined in the end. On the contrary, it is also possible to refine the essence in the elixir, and there will be nothing in the end. It is a failure, so the heat must be mastered.

Wang Hong carefully tried to increase the firepower, and slowly, a faint mist evaporated from the liquid medicine, which was the refined impurities.

After a stick of incense, use the fire control formula again, and slowly lower the firepower. Now you need to fuse various ingredients in the medicinal liquid to make the various medicinal properties reach a balance and coordination.

His hands changed like phantoms, and he played hundreds of formulas. These formulas are only used to refine second-level pills. He practiced for a long time in advance, and only dared to start alchemy when he was completely proficient.

However, at this moment, the spiritual power in the pill furnace suddenly became extremely violent, and various spiritual powers collided with each other, and finally there was a loud noise, a puff of black smoke came out, and the furnace exploded.

Wang Hong cleaned up the pill furnace, thought for a while quietly, and started refining the next batch of pills again.

The third furnace still failed.

The fourth furnace failed.

…

Finally, the tenth furnace was successful, and I got a second-level Yangyuan Pill.

Then the eleventh batch failed again, and after the fifty batches, it finally stabilized, with an average of three or four batches of one or two pills for every ten batches.

The comprehensive alchemy rate is less than 10%, and the Yangyuan Dan must reach at least 20% of the alchemy rate to maintain capital. His current level is equal to how much he loses.

This is also due to his solid foundation in alchemy. His refining of first-order elixirs has now reached the point of perfection.

And he has studied the basic knowledge of various medicinal properties and pharmacology for a long time, which makes it much easier for him to make alchemy than others.

If it were someone else, even if he refined a hundred furnaces, he might not be able to reach his current level. It must be known that the refining of the second-level elixir is more than ten times more complicated than the first-level.

Wang Hong took a day off after finishing the 100 furnaces, cooked himself a table of delicious food, drank some wine, and relaxed.

One day later, he started alchemy again. This time he refined another hundred furnaces in a row, and made some progress. Now almost eight out of every ten furnaces can see the pills, and the comprehensive alchemy rate has finally reached 10%.

He rested for another day. This time when he was refining alchemy, he added some spirit bee royal jelly to it, which can increase the rate of alchemy.

He hadn't used it when refining the first-order elixir, because when he got the spirit bee, his alchemy rate was already very high.

Moreover, most of the first-order elixir is not as expensive as the royal jelly of the spirit bee, and it would be a loss to add it. Now that the second-order elixir is refined, one more pill per furnace can be worth the price of the royal jelly of the spirit bee.

As for the previous hundreds of furnaces, most of them didn't even have a single elixir, so it would be useless to add the royal jelly of the spirit bee.
