Chapter 339: Second-Level Alchemist (Please Subscribe, Please Bookmark)

In fact, every family or sect has similar storage, just waiting for the right time, as a kind of foundation, to exert its due power at one time.

The influence of the Sun family is limited to the small Pingyang County, but each generation of the foundation-building predecessors has been trying to expand its scope, exploring again and again, and harvesting again and again. It is under this effort that the family has the opportunity to grow to its current state.

The cultivators sent by Sun Shengmei are strictly based on the descriptions left by some family elders. Their task is not to pick the spiritual medicine here, but only to confirm the types of spiritual medicine here.

"If a Jindan-stage cultivator can appear in the family in the future, I think the family elders will not blame the old man for selling his father's land without feeling sorry." After the assignment was completed, Sun Shengmei inevitably felt a little uneasy.

After all, under normal circumstances, the location of these spiritual medicines or treasures is relatively secret, basically existing as a kind of inheritance, and will only be activated when the family suffers a devastating blow.

The three burrows of a cunning rabbit are extremely important and indispensable for any family. Some of these places may be specially arranged by the elders.

Of course, this negative emotion did not have much impact on Sun Shengmei's firm belief. Under her insistence, more than two-thirds of the family's cultivators in the late stage of Qi training and above hurried to different locations. Of course, the tasks of the foundation-building cultivators were more difficult.

For example, the family patriarch Sun Xunmu was responsible for patrolling six locations, and Sun Youhai, who was experienced and had a better cultivation, was assigned to search ten locations.

Sun Shengmei would arrange different foundation-building cultivators to pick all the existing spiritual objects according to the feedback of each cultivator, and go all out to cultivate the first possible Jindan cultivator.

Of course, these different locations were left over from the exploration process of family elders of different ages. With the changes of the times, some of them may have disappeared for various reasons, which does not mean that every location will have enough gains.

All the core monks of the entire family immediately entered a relatively busy state. Only near the south of Shenquan Mountain, there was a cave built on the ground fire where loud noises often came. This was where Sun Caiyun refined the second-level elixir. It was called the "Alchemy Room" and it was also the only place in the family with ground fire.

The family paid a high price for this ground fire. Originally, the spiritual fire ignited by various spiritual woods could meet the needs of refining first-level elixir and first-level magic tools.

But after Sun Caiyun successfully promoted to the foundation building stage, even if the second-level spiritual wood that could meet the needs in theory was still a little powerless when refining elixir, often failed in the final condensation stage due to insufficient firepower.

Under the leadership of Sun Shengyuan, the family spent a lot of money to invite a second-level upper-grade array master who was proficient in underground fire surveying. After working together with Sun Shengyuan, they borrowed the power of the array to barely pull out a line of underground fire, and built a special alchemy room here to meet Sun Caiyun's needs, hoping to cultivate the family's first second-level alchemist as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, the family's strength is limited. In recent years, they have only been able to purchase three or five second-level elixir recipes, and most of them are used for healing, expelling miasma, etc. Only one second-level lower-grade stable spirit pill and second-level lower-grade five-element pill are relatively precious.

As the name suggests, the second-level lower-grade stable spirit pill is specially used to assist the newly promoted foundation-building cultivators to stabilize their cultivation and prevent the drop in cultivation realm.

This kind of elixir is not difficult to refine. The most precious thing is a spiritual object called stable spirit fruit. It is used as the main material, purified with underground fire, and assisted by some first-level upper-grade spiritual medicines. It can be successfully refined, which can be said to be the best choice for advancing to the second-level alchemist.

The Five Elements Pill is a general term, divided into five different properties of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. It is suitable for cultivators of different qualifications and is one of the most commonly used elixirs for cultivators in the early stage of foundation building.

The only difference among these elixirs is that they use second-level inferior elixirs of different properties as the main medicine, and the other methods are roughly the same.

Because of its wide range of applications, the Five Elements Pills of different properties are almost one of the most popular second-level elixirs in all large and small shops.

As long as Sun Caiyun can steadily refine the Five Elements Pill to meet the needs of the seven foundation-building cultivators in the family, the Sun family can save 10,000 spiritual stones every year just on this item.

The meaning of this in and out accumulated over the years can be imagined for the family. Ten thousand spiritual stones a year can also buy other spiritual objects that are lacking, which is extremely meaningful for the development and growth of the entire family.

"Boom boom" On this day, bursts of continuous loud noises came from the alchemy room again, and Sun Shengmei, who was standing outside the door, couldn't help but show a hesitant look on her face.

"Failed again? Lack of talent or lack of guidance from a famous teacher? It's just barely promoted to the second-level lower-grade stable spirit pill, and the number of failures has exceeded fifty times." Knowing the difficulty of cultivating a second-level alchemist from scratch, every time I hear the loud noises coming from the alchemy room, I can't help but feel a little heartache. After all, every failure in refining means the consumption of a spiritual medicine, which is a considerable consumption for the Sun family.

But if the family wants to soar from the current foundation, a highly skilled second-level alchemist must exist.

Sun Shengmei waved her hand and arranged for the family monks to take out a batch of new spiritual medicines from the treasure house, which was enough to meet the needs of about a hundred times of refining.

"The reason why this refining failed is that the control of the fire was lacking in the process of refining the spiritual pill. Compared with the flames of burning spiritual wood, the heat and energy contained in these earth fires are obviously better." Sun Caiyun, who was sitting on the futon in the alchemy room, was thinking about the whole process of refining the spiritual pill.

For a cultivator who is determined to go further on the road of alchemy, every failure will not discourage her at all.

In the absence of a skilled alchemist as a master to guide her, everything needs to be explored bit by bit from the beginning.

Especially for a completely unfamiliar spiritual pill, although there is a pill recipe as an aid, it only records the general steps, and many precautions need to be perfected by her one by one.

This is also the fundamental reason why there is a huge difference in the success rate of refining elixirs between those with or without a famous master.

Of course, there are gains and losses. Almost every alchemist who comes from a niche background has his own unique skills, whether it is a super high success rate for a certain elixir, or the identification of elixirs, or the control of the temperature. In short, they are all different and will definitely attract envious eyes once they are shown.
