Budo: Age of Chi

Eight years is a long enough time, and many wonderful and unknown changes have taken place in this world.

After a big banquet, Meng De followed Xiaocao to the alchemy room.

The alchemy room is spacious and bright. When you open the door and enter, the aroma of medicine immediately hits your nostrils.

Surrounded by various exotic flowers and plants, the flesh and blood of demons and beasts, and other precious materials, there are even some mineral essences, spiritual stones and spiritual crystals.

These are all needed for alchemy. After all, Meng De's family has a big business, so the materials will naturally be adequately supplied.

There is only a shelf on the left wall, which looks a lot more important.

That is the position where the elixir will be placed after it is completed. It must be cleaned up every month, or sold, or internally digested by the system.

In the middle is a rounded alchemy furnace, golden red in color, without too many carvings and decorations, only some dense erosion patterns, as if there are photons flowing inside, and energy is flowing through it.

Next to the alchemy furnace there is a cushion and a spring.

The spring water exudes spiritual energy, which is created by opening up the cave below and extracting the spiritual water from the small canal.

Although there is no earth fire, the extraction of filtered spiritual water is also an advantage, which can supplement the alchemy.

What's more, Xiaocao can not only practice fire techniques, but also water techniques and elixirs. The combination of water and fire is even more feasible and can enhance quality.

Of course, it is not absolute, it mainly depends on the material requirements.

Using water alone to remove impurities is also a good option.

"How about it? Have you mastered the Yuanshi Dan?"

After entering the alchemy room and there were no outsiders, Meng De approached and placed his generous hands on Xiaocao's slender waist.

They were both an old couple and had given birth to children. Naturally, Xiaocao was no longer as shy as before. She just smiled and whispered:
"It's in the alchemy furnace."

"Oh?!"

Meng De raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

It has only been a long time since I became a sixth-level alchemist, but I can actually quickly become proficient in refining the Yuanshi Dan. Such a speed is truly astonishing.

Although it is not difficult to practice another elixir of the same level, proficiency is a big problem.

Being able to form a pill does not mean that the rate of pill formation is high. The key lies in proficiency.

The higher the proficiency, the higher the elixir production rate and the quality and quantity can be maintained.

As long as the conditions are met, a fifth-level alchemist can occasionally make sixth-level elixirs.

But what's the use of it?
Pointless.

It's been practiced, but only one of the medicinal materials that can produce dozens or even hundreds of pills can be produced, and the quality is horribly low. It contains a large amount of so-called [erysipelas], which is more toxic than the medicine. Who can take it? ?

Even if it is not erysipelas, it is still an impurity, equivalent to the remaining medicinal power in plant ash, which is undoubtedly a huge waste.

Meng De immediately stepped forward and opened the lid of the pot, and a stronger fragrance of red pepper rushed out of the stove, and even turned into a thick milky white mist, drifting around.

Meng De closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and suddenly the clouds rolled around, and the milky white fog entered his nasal cavity one after another. The cells in his body that were so thirsty due to the elixir seemed to be relaxing, frantically absorbing and digesting the power of the medicine.

"it is good!!"

Meng De opened his eyes suddenly, and a flash of light flashed past him.

"Little Yuan Shi Dan is nothing, it's just a product of fluidity. The real big head depends on the true Qi realm!
A sixth-level alchemist, this is the watershed, only then can he eat meat! "

Being complimented by Meng De invisibly, Xiaocao couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, but suppressed it well.

"It's okay. I just started practicing this elixir, and the quality can only be said to be average.

After practicing for a while, the fragrance of the elixir will spread out, and the elixir will be truly flawless and flawless. "

The round pills lay quietly in the pill furnace, like translucent pearls, generally showing the color of white jade, and there seemed to be strands of liquid swimming inside.

That was an overly strong condensation of vitality, and it was also a clear proof that the technique was still a bit lacking, as it could not be completely condensed.

If you truly practice the perfect Yuanshi Dan, its form will turn into completely transparent and colorless [glass beads].

Yuanshi Dan, in terms of its essence, is actually a simple gathering of vitality. It is a practice of extracting medicinal properties from medicinal materials and converting them into vitality similar to spiritual energy.

It is easy to digest and absorb, perfectly fits the human body, and has no side effects, but it also represents its instability.

If you add a little more impurities, the effect will be greatly reduced, and it cannot be scraped off like some elixirs.

Ordinary preservation is not a big problem, the main thing is that there should be no problems when refining the elixir.

After the elixir is ready, it can be coated with an insulating layer on the outside, similar to a wax pill.

It can be used without plating, it depends on personal preference.

It's just that most people want peace of mind.

Meng De's predictions a few years ago were not wrong. The new country finally united with neighboring countries to launch this new economic system.

That's right, Yuanshidan is currency and the core of the new economic system.

There had been signs of this for a long time. After the appearance of the flowing water alchemy furnace and the occasional news leaked out, Meng De had some speculations in his mind.

Until six years ago, the prediction came true, directly verifying the correctness of Mengde's conjecture.Meng De is not said to be far-sighted, but this time's advance prediction has really benefited him a lot.

What is Yuanshi Dan?
In the final analysis, it is a consumable product.

Even if it assumes the responsibility of currency, it will be consumed and vacancies will appear, thereby maintaining general stability.

There will be no inflation like ordinary people's banknotes.

How much it's worth, that's how much it is. It won't depreciate just because you practice more elixirs. At most, it will fluctuate a little.

After all, even the lowest level of elixirs can be taken and digested by high-level warriors, so there is no such thing as being ineffective.

Therefore, those who have raw materials, or have prepared sufficient raw materials, are the big winners.

There is no doubt that Meng De is a man of constant wealth, with spiritual land in hand and mature property. Not to mention eating meat, he can drink the soup in his head.

The most important thing is that Yuanshi Dan is extremely special, and you don't have to worry about the source of the raw materials when training it.

Without him, they are everywhere!
Any medicinal materials with aura or vitality, even ores, crystals, etc., can be used to refine Yuanshi Dan.

Some powerful people can even absorb spiritual energy directly from the void to make elixirs.

There is a video on the Internet as proof. A person who is probably in the Celestial Realm can grab it out of thin air, and hundreds of thousands of Yuanshi Pills gather together to form a vast river.

Of course, the cost is also huge. It will completely drain the spiritual energy of a small secret realm, and it will take a long time to recover.

Yuanshi Dan is a series, which can be divided very simply, Little Yuanshi Dan, Yuanshi Dan, and Great Yuanshi Dan.

The Little Yuanshi Pill is for people below the True Qi Realm, the Yuanshi Pill is for people above the True Qi Realm, and the Great Yuanshi Pill is naturally exclusive to people above the Dharma Realm. It is difficult to take the pill even at the Holding Dan level, and it is difficult to digest. Very likely to be injured.

Ease of digestion and absorption is sometimes a shortcoming. For people at a low level, taking a higher level of Yuanshi Dan is like taking a dose of tiger and wolf medicine. Not only will they be injured, but they may even be burst.

Ordinary people might actually become immortals if they take a so-called "Nine Transformations Golden Pill".

But for ordinary people, not to mention taking the Yuanshi Pill, even if they take a small Yuanshi Pill, they will only die. Only with great opportunity and great luck, and with the cooperation of dedicated people to protect the way, can it be digested.

It is precisely for this reason that although the Yuanshi Dan series has forcibly dominated the market since its birth, it still has a place for other elixirs and cannot completely occupy the market.

The function of Yuanshi Dan is relatively simple, purely to enhance strength.

Yuanli, to put it bluntly, is a kind of energy that is easy to digest and absorb. It is another name. It can also be regarded as spiritual energy and magic power. It is similar to the flow of spiritual crystals, but the system it can act on is undoubtedly wider and easier to convert.

For example, for the common Qi and blood martial arts, spiritual crystals can certainly be used, but when converted into Qi and blood power, the consumption is more difficult to accept, and the price/performance ratio is insufficient.

However, with the Yuanshi Dan series, relatively speaking, the consumption is greatly reduced, to a point where it is almost negligible.

And it is not only useful for Qi and Blood Martial Arts, but also for other systems.

Even if it is used to increase the [God] value, the effect is pretty good. It is not as good as the special elixir, but it is the best among the special products and the most cost-effective choice.

The Yuanshidan series is not only of high practical value, but its significance is also extremely important. A new economic system is no joke.

Of course, some people joked that Xiao Yuan Shi Dan was called Yi Yuan Dan, which was the currency of ordinary people.

As for the Yuanshi Dan and the Great Yuanshi Dan, they cost more than ten yuan and a hundred yuan.

Generally speaking, one Yuanshi Pill can be exchanged for a thousand small Yuanshi Pills.

This is the standard answer. The fluctuations will not be too large, and the value of the transaction should not exceed the value of ten small Yuanshi Dan.

After all, although it is more troublesome to take Xiaoyuanshi Dan when you are in the True Qi realm, a thousand pills are equivalent to one pill, but as long as it is not too troublesome, you can still use it.

What's more, for warriors below the True Qi realm, Xiao Yuanshi Dan is actually the more popular one, mainly because there is no need to worry about the medicine being too strong.

Pulling like this will naturally make it easier to balance.

It is difficult to get ahead if you want to engage in finance there.

What's more, the practical value of Yuanshi Dan is high, but its even higher economic significance is the embodiment of currency.

It is impossible to replace Yuanshi Dan, but there are many substitutes with practical value.

There are so many traditional elixirs and new ones developed, but they are all waiting for you.

Once the Yuanshi Pill goes awry, other pills will immediately make up for it.

Dominating the market belongs to dominating the market, but it is not indispensable.

After so many years, other elixirs also have their own advantages.

Yuanshi Dan just means more.

Oh, one more thing, it should be the residue of medicine left in the alchemy process.

For the rest of the elixirs, the emphasis is on the king and ministers complementing each other, and the medicinal properties being incorporated into the elixirs together.

Therefore, the remaining medicinal residue after refining the elixir is most likely a waste product, a drug, and cannot be recycled. It can only be used to feed pigs, or fertilize, and even needs to be processed professionally.

But the Yuanshi Dan series, the dregs of medicine are really dregs of medicine.

The energy is extracted and condensed into Yuanli, and most of the medicinal properties in the medicinal materials still have some residue and can still be used as medicine.

Although it only works for ordinary people, it is still an added value after all. (End of chapter)
