Cultivation of Immortals: The Rise of the Family

Chapter 24 Consecutive Failure
When Li Changsheng came to Linghuo Danfang, the third grandfather was refining the elixir.

"Eternal life is here, you wait here, I will finish the work soon!"

The third grandpa seemed very happy, he was skillful in making pills like flowing water.

Li Changsheng's eyes were sharp. He saw that the third grandfather's alchemy furnace had been replaced. It was the second-rank high-grade magic weapon, the Lihuo alchemy furnace, that the ancestor had taken out after strangling the Black Shark Pirate.

The second uncle Li Shouzhong died, and the family gave a lot of compensation. This alchemy furnace is the most suitable for the third elder to use.

After pouring tea, Li Kaishan finished refining alchemy, this time he refined the first-order elixir Ningshen Pill.

Ningshen Pill is a relatively high-level existence among the first-order elixirs.

Its function is mainly to nourish the spiritual consciousness and increase the power of the monk's spiritual consciousness.

Obviously, Li Kaishan is also trying to break through, wanting to step into the ranks of second-tier alchemists.

However, with his current cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi training realm, it is indeed a little bit reluctant.

"Changsheng, how come you are here?"

After putting away the pill, the third grandfather warmly greeted Li Changsheng.

"Third Grandfather, I have already mastered the Poison Elimination Pill, and now I want to try refining the Qi Gathering Pill!"

Li Changsheng's words caused a flash of light in the eyes of the third elder, obviously a little shocked.

Li Kaishan has worked hard all his life, and he is only a first-rank alchemist.

And Li Changsheng is less than 20 years old, and he has also stepped into this field.

In the future, if Li Changsheng concentrates on comprehending alchemy, he will be promoted to the second-level alchemist without any problem.

"Okay, you are really good, you are going to refine Qi Gathering Pill so soon!"

Li Kaishan became excited, his alchemy technique finally had a successor.

In the past six months, Li Changsheng has been practicing diligently. He has enough confidence, so he decided to try.

"If it wasn't for Third Grandpa's careful teaching, I wouldn't have made such great progress. It's all thanks to Third Grandpa!"

Li Changsheng's words were obviously flattering the old man, but who could resist his grandson's flattery?

The third grandfather smiled, obviously very useful.

"Changsheng, you are refining here, and Grandpa will provide you with the materials!"

With a big wave of Li Kaishan's hand, some apprentices had already gone down to prepare the materials for refining Qi Gathering Pill.

Li Changsheng smiled and said:
"Third Grandpa, this time I'm going to get dozens of more materials, so I can practice them at home after I go back!".

When Li Changsheng said this, the third grandfather immediately put away his smile.

"Then you have to pay, I can't afford to supply dozens of materials!"

The third grandpa had a hard time, especially after the second uncle died, his several children had to be taken care of by the old man.

People in their 80s and [-]s still have to think about their children and grandchildren. Who can taste this sadness.

Li Changsheng didn't blame Third Grandfather, he just felt a little heavy in his heart.

If the Li family becomes stronger, such things will not happen again.

The materials for Qi Gathering Pill were prepared quickly, and Li Changsheng also started preparing for refining under the guidance of the third elder.

It is also the same amount as a elixir, although the material of the qi training elixir is slightly cheaper, but one portion is also worth a piece of low-grade spirit stone.

Lighting a fire, heating a stove, and being used as medicine.

Li Changsheng has long been familiar with these procedures, but the next step is to refine the medicinal materials, which is the key to testing an alchemist.

Refining medicinal materials requires precise control of the heat, and there are relatively more materials for refining Qi Gathering Pills, so the difficulty is also multiplied.

"call!"

When the spiritual energy entered the furnace, the flame instantly became unstable, and the medicinal materials in the pill furnace flew to ashes in an instant.

The first attempt, straight up failed.

The medicinal materials for refining Qi Gathering Pill have high requirements on spiritual energy, they are not ordinary herbs for refining Poison Eliminating Pill, but belong to the category of elixir.

Therefore, these elixirs are relatively more difficult to refine, and they have higher requirements on the heat.

Seeing this, the third elder smiled and said:

"Come again!".

It's normal to fail in refining Qi Gathering Pill, even for a veteran of alchemy like the Third Elder, his alchemy success rate is only 80.00%.

Li Changsheng nodded, cleaned the medicine stove, and started from scratch again.

He used the second-level high-grade alchemy furnace to make alchemy, which already had a great advantage compared to other apprentices.

Several disciples of the same clan nearby were also watching silently. As alchemy apprentices who started earlier than Li Changsheng, they were not yet qualified to refine Qi Gathering Pills.

When practicing hands on weekdays, they also buy medicinal materials out of their own pockets.

An alchemist apprentice only earns two spirit stones a year, so it is conceivable that they don't have extra spirit stones to buy materials.

As a result, they often need to accumulate wealth for several years in order to make an attempt.

Seeing Li Changsheng's failure in alchemy at this moment, the apprentice Li Changhe next to him felt a little relieved.

He didn't want Li Changsheng to fail in alchemy, but seeing that the other party failed, he felt a lot more relaxed.

Li Changhe is a Qi-refining second-level monk, and he has been an alchemist apprentice for five years.

It's a pity that now he can only refine poison-eliminating pills, blood-activating pills, and hundred-flower pills, these few simple pills.

There is no harm without comparison. Since Li Changsheng came, they have seen each other's rapid growth, which also made Li Changhe secretly feel inferior.

Now that Li Changsheng failed in alchemy, although Li Changhe was not happy, he felt that the pressure in his heart was reduced.

As a child of the Li family, he doesn't have any bad intentions, and sometimes he even hopes that Li Changsheng will succeed.

But I have to say that after Li Changsheng failed, he did feel a little comfortable.

"Oh!"

The second attempt failed again, this time Li Changsheng only persisted for a quarter of an hour longer than the first time, and he still hadn't entered the stage of tanning pills.

The third elder didn't speak again, his hands clenched slightly into fists.

Li Changsheng remained silent, secretly recalling the reason for his failure just now.

"The front is very good, but in the end the fire is not under control, which is the failure!"

Li Changsheng cleaned the alchemy furnace and started refining for the third time.

He knew in his heart that he was not a very talented alchemist, so failure was a matter of course, as long as he kept summing up experience, there would always be moments of success.

For the third refining, the heat was slowly controlled by Li Changsheng, and he was as careful as possible.

This time, Li Changsheng seemed to be very smooth. He did not rush, and the various medicinal materials were slowly smelted, turning into liquid and flowing.

The spiritual energy was slowly poured into it, and the elixir was kneaded into pills.

"Oh!"

The pill fire suddenly rushed out of the cauldron, and the terrifying flames burned in all directions.

This time it failed again!
Three consecutive failures surprised the third elder.

He originally had high hopes for Li Changsheng, but the three failures at this moment have already made the third elder somewhat unacceptable.

He wanted to persuade Changsheng to take a break and adjust his mentality before refining.

But Li Changsheng didn't intend to stop at all. He quickly cleaned up the alchemy furnace and started the fourth refinement.
