Immortal cultivation starts with copying.

Chapter 115 Alchemy

The Qi-replenishing pill is composed of six kinds of spiritual medicines, some of which are very common in the world of immortal cultivation, and any medicine that is more than ten years old can be used as medicine.

Of course, the age of the medicine also determines the grade of the elixir that is refined, and this is directly proportional.

Chen Yunhao is quite familiar with the entire process of refining Qi-replenishing pills.

First, preheat the alchemy furnace, then put the elixirs in according to the order, turn the elixirs into liquid, and then divide the elixirs and condense the elixirs.

Although I haven't done it for more than a hundred years, it is still relatively easy to refine this low-level elixir.

Especially this time, because Chen Yunhao's cultivation level has not only improved, but most importantly, he has changed to a new technique, which makes him more comfortable in controlling the earth fire.

So in just one hour, he refined the first batch of Qi-replenishing pills.

That’s right, it was successful in one furnace, but the quantity was a little small, only five pills, and they were of low-grade first grade.

But he was very satisfied. This was a good start, wasn't it!

Next, Chen Yunhao refined seven or eight furnaces in one breath, and used up all the spiritual medicine in his hand.

There was only one failure in the middle, and the grades of two furnaces were upgraded to medium quality level.

The success rate is quite high, but it is not worth Chen Yunhao's happiness, because it is just like him revisiting the skills he had lost before.

He refined these few batches of Qi-replenishing pills just to regain his touch. If he tried to refine another kind of elixir that he had never refined before, it would definitely not be so easy.

He still had some spiritual medicines in his hand, but he didn't plan to refine the Qi-replenishing Pill anymore. He wanted to refine the Xiaoyuan-nourishing Pill in one go.

However, I don't have all the spiritual medicines needed to refine the Xiao Peiyuan Pill, only three or four kinds.

So Chen Yunhao went around Baijiao City twice, but unfortunately it was in vain.

He visited almost all the elixir shops and shops selling elixirs, but no one had ever heard of the name of Xiao Peiyuan Dan.

This is not a big deal. The important thing is that the dozen or so spiritual herbs needed for the Xiao Peiyuan Pill are not available here.

It’s not that there are no alchemists in the boundless ocean, but the recipes are very different from those on the mainland.

In a nutshell, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the sea, eat by the sea; adapt to local conditions.

The raw materials for many of the elixirs here are refined from various sea monsters.

Chen Yunhao also bought two pill recipes from two elixir shops. Both were relatively low-level, similar to the Qi-replenishing pills and the Soul-replenishing pills.

After returning, I studied it carefully. One of the recipes only required putting a first-level sea monster called Lingxia into the furnace and refining it into a magic pill using the alchemy method.

This elixir called Lingxiadan is of the same level as the Qi-boosting elixir.

This first-level sea monster shrimp is very small, only the size of a little finger. It often lives in groups in a certain sea area and is relatively easy to catch.

There is also a kind of elixir that is made by using sea monsters and one or two magical herbs.

After learning this information, Chen Yunhao realized that the flesh and blood of the octopus monster he had killed before, which he thought was unimportant, was actually coveted by the pirates.

Because the flesh and blood is also one of the raw materials for refining elixirs, it can also be regarded as a kind of essence of heaven and earth!

Using sirens to refine elixirs, or even using sirens' demon pills to refine elixirs, is a special feature of the sea.

Therefore, Chen Yunhao had to change his mind. The pill recipes collected in the storage bag could no longer be used.

Next, he will collect the popular elixir recipes in the Boundless Sea again and try to use sea monsters to refine elixirs.

While purchasing the elixir formula, Chen Yunhao also bought a bottle of Lingxia Dan.

This is a green elixir that is only the size of a thumb.

If you smell it with your nose, you will find that the elixir made from elixirs without spiritual medicine has that unique medicinal fragrance, while the Lingxia elixir has a faint fishy smell.

I put one in my mouth and tried it. It melted in my mouth, but it didn't have the refreshing fragrance of the elixir.

Then Chen Yunhao took out the Qi-replenishing pill he had made and swallowed one, then made a comparison.

The final conclusion was that the elixir was made by the sirens and was slightly less effective.

After all, the elixir has grown for a sufficient number of years and is truly made by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, so its medicinal power is relatively pure.

The elixir made from the flesh and blood of sirens is not so pure in efficacy and contains more poison.

Although there are disadvantages, there is no other way. In this vast ocean, the number of sirens far exceeds that of spiritual medicines. This is the only choice.

Chen Yunhao had no choice but to adapt to the local customs and began to study and research how to use sea monsters to make elixirs.

He first bought hundreds of kilograms of live shrimp at the harbor of Baijiao Island.

This thing is not expensive. I only spent two medium-grade spirit stones to buy this bunch.

According to the method recorded on the pill recipe he bought, after preheating the pill furnace, he threw in dozens of lively shrimps.

The first step is to extract the essence of the shrimp's blood and flesh.

However, he failed at the first step because he was used to refining elixirs with spiritual herbs, so he preheated the furnace for a relatively short time.

After all, the spirit shrimp is flesh and blood, and it is not so easy to extract it. A higher temperature is required in the furnace.

Strictly speaking, using sirens to refine elixirs is simpler, as there is no complicated procedure of putting the elixir in first and then the next step.

Gradually, Chen Yunhao mastered some techniques, which mainly depended on the timing.

In the end, hundreds of pounds of spiritual shrimps were used to successfully refine two furnaces of spiritual pills, each with less than twenty pills, and all of them were of the lower first grade.

The second pill recipe also uses spirit shrimp as the main raw material, and is refined with two common spirit medicines.

Of course, these two kinds of spiritual medicines are quite common in the boundless sea, but they are not in Chen Yunhao's storage bag.

Then he bought some spiritual shrimps and two spiritual medicines, and tried to refine the second spiritual pill, the Qi Gathering Pill.

This time, there is a difference between what comes first and what comes later. The spiritual shrimp is put in first, and the spiritual medicine is put in later.

After more than ten experiments, they finally succeeded in refining a furnace.

After Chen Yunhao tasted it, he found that this Qi Gathering Pill was indeed 20% to 30% more effective than the Lingxia Pill.

This is enough to show that if you want to refine a good elixir, you still have to rely on spiritual medicine. Using sea monsters to refine it is ultimately a unorthodox method.

After nearly two months of refining elixirs, Chen Yunhao has finally gotten started.

Improving alchemy skills cannot be achieved overnight, it requires more practice to gradually improve.

Moreover, he has to constantly challenge more difficult elixirs, so Chen Yunhao needs to collect more elixir recipes in the future.

After a brief stay in Baijiao City, Chen Yunhao packed up and set out on his journey again.

The established route will not change. This time we will cross the Baijiao Sea and enter a new sea area, the Qingsha Sea.

It is not far from Baijiao Island to the Qingsha Sea, only about 60,000 to 70,000 miles away, but it is not close to Qingsha Island, at least more than 150,000 miles away.

It is not convenient to meditate and practice while controlling the flying boat, so Chen Yunhao still focuses on studying spells and alchemy.

Several storage bags were brought out from the Fengling Tomb, and there were also some spells and magical powers in the other storage bags.

It’s just that some are suitable for one’s own practice, while some can only be put aside for now.
