Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 861 Jade Bone Pill

Li Qing was extremely tempted by the rich opportunities hidden in the Tianguang Secret Realm, and even felt a little restless.

But it is still some years before the Tianguang Secret Realm is opened. Even if my heart is pounding, I have to suppress it.

Before that, he had to find ways to improve his strength as much as possible. After all, facing the people in the God Transformation Stage from several other powerful tribes, Li Qing didn't think he could have much of an advantage.

"Other races will definitely send beings with the strength of the late stage of the Spiritualization Stage to enter the Tianguang Secret Realm. After all, it only restricts beings below the Void Refining Stage."

"And my cultivation is still a long way from the middle stage of the Spiritualization Stage. Without a magic pill, it will be difficult to improve in a short period of time."

"We can only start from other aspects and enhance our combat power as much as possible."

Li Qing whispered to himself, his eyes flickering constantly. He was thinking about how he could improve his strength in the near future.

As for refining a treasure, the spiritual materials on hand are limited. There is only one piece of ghost eye purple gold, which is not enough to refine it into a complete spiritual treasure.

"The Luoyu red fruit planted in Tianmiao Immortal Mansion is already ripe. Although it is not very old, it can be used as medicine."

As he spoke, Li Qing flashed and entered a medicinal field in the Tianmiao Immortal Mansion.

The Luo Yu red fruit that he planted with his own hands has produced abundant and plump fruits, each of which is bright red and full of vitality.

"I also have the recipe for the Jade Bone Pill, and the steps for refining the pill are very detailed. I'm still lacking some auxiliary medicines."

As he spoke, Li Qing had already made up his mind. He planned to refine the Jade Bone Pill himself. After all, there were a lot of Luo Yu Chi fruits in these medicine fields, and he had enough room for error to try.

With this thought in mind, Li Qing picked the Luo Yu red fruits one by one with his own hands. Soon, all the Luo Yu red fruits in the entire medicinal field were picked, leaving the field bare.

The spiritual plant did not die after its fruit was picked, but became dormant, waiting for the next hundred years, or even less than that, and then it would mature again and bear fruit.

"This time, we harvested a total of 223 Luoyu red fruits, which is a considerable number. It is considered a bumper harvest."

Li Qing smacked his lips, and then left Tianmiao Immortal Palace.

In order to refine the Jade Bone Pill, in addition to the Luo Yu Red Fruit, several other auxiliary medicines are also needed.

Fortunately, these auxiliary medicines are not rare and difficult to find. They can be easily gathered in Xuan Gu City, and they don’t even cost many contribution points.

Just like that, Li Qing left the cave and came to the immortal cultivators' market in the city.

"Senior, this is the branch of the old Huangjing. Although it is not a rare item, our store is already selling it at the lowest price. You can't find a place in the whole city that sells it cheaper than our store!"

In a magical medicine shop called Bencao Pavilion, Li Qing frowned and held a rhizome full of yellow leaves in his hand.

This was the last elixir he was lacking in order to refine the Jade Bone Pill. The other ingredients were easily collected, but this one alone seemed a bit expensive.

Each one requires 300 merit points, and spirit stones are not accepted for trading unless they are top-grade spirit stones.

After a lot of searching, Li Qing only has a little over 7,000 merit points left. If he uses all of them to buy old Polygonatum odoratum branches and leaves, he can only buy about 20 of them.

To refine a furnace of Jade Bone Pills, one needs a branch of old Polygonatum as an auxiliary medicine. Even if one buys all of them, one can only refine more than twenty furnaces at most.

"These old Huangjing branches and leaves are obviously not rare, but why are they so expensive?" Li Qing asked with a frown.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Senior, if it was hundreds of years ago, this old Huangjing branch and leaf would indeed be cheap and cost-effective, but an alchemist has restored an incomplete ancient recipe."

"And the auxiliary medicine needed in this ancient recipe is the branches and leaves of the old Huangjing. The elixir made from this recipe can strengthen the body and is quite popular among many body cultivators!"

After hearing this, Li Qing suddenly understood why these seemingly common old Polygonatum odoratum branches and leaves were so expensive.

In the end, he still held his nose and spent all his merit points to buy twenty-six old Polygonatum branches.

At this point, the merits he had earned some time ago were reduced to less than 100 points, and he was completely penniless.

"I can make twenty-six furnaces of Jade Bone Pills. I hope I can refine about ten furnaces." Li Qing sighed repeatedly and returned to the cave.

After returning to the cave and practicing breathing and meditation for about a day, Li Qing took out the Great Sun Annihilation Furnace.

This treasure furnace is no longer as dark as before. It is now glowing with colorful light, and thirty-six golden fire patterns inside are closely attached to the inner wall of the furnace.

The entire furnace constantly switches between the two states of destruction and vitality. The former is a killing tool, while the latter is a healing object.

boom!
Li Qing sent several palm strikes towards the Great Sun Annihilation Furnace, and streams of true essence fell into the furnace, quickly stabilizing the shape of the entire treasure furnace in a vital state.

Then, a golden spiritual fire as bright as the sun flickered in the furnace, illuminating Li Qing's cave.

Under the burning of the golden flame of the sun, the life-destroying furnace quickly became warm, and traces of vitality continued to overflow.

"I don't know how long it has been since I last made an elixir myself. My hands are a bit rusty now."

"At that time, Senior Bailing taught me step by step, but now I can only rely on myself."

It's not that he didn't think about continuing to spend merit points to ask the old man Jian in the city to make the elixir, but doing so might lead to the leakage of the recipe of the Jade Bone Pill, which would cause the prices of the other auxiliary medicines to rise as well.

Moreover, if one were to entrust Old Man Jian to refine a furnace of elixirs, it would require three thousand merit points, which was a bit high.

If it weren't for the urgently needed elixir like the Dust-Reducing Pill, Li Qing would still want to refine it himself.

After all, to develop a set of jade bones, just a dozen or twenty jade bone pills are far from enough, and they need to be taken for a long time.

If we ask the alchemist to help every time, the cost would be too high.

As the temperature of the life-destroying furnace rose, Li Qing strictly followed the steps in the recipe and sent each elixir into the life-destroying furnace.

The only good news is that Li Qing is now a master in playing with fire. The spiritual fire of heaven and earth is under his control, and he can command it with ease.

The most critical part in alchemy is the control of the temperature, which Li Qing is able to do very well.

"The first half is to use a high fire to extract the essence of several auxiliary medicines, forming the essence of the spiritual medicine liquid to continue refining in the furnace."

"Finally, add the Luoyu Red Fruit. When the fruit bursts, switch to a low fire and slowly simmer it, so that the essence of the Luoyu Red Fruit can be quenched into the liquid medicine bit by bit."

"."

The steps of alchemy were very detailed. Li Qing had a strong spiritual sense and he strictly followed every step of the recipe. He even felt like he was doing it with ease.

After a long time, the power of the Big Sun's Golden Flame was weakened to the extreme, and only some residual heat was left to catalyze the medicine.

Finally, when a large amount of liquid medicine in the furnace was about to solidify, Li Qing's mind moved suddenly.

hum!
The Life-Destroying Furnace trembled slightly, and the large mass of elixir essence began to differentiate. This was the most critical step of dividing the elixir.

Li Qing was very bold. He divided it into nine directly, aiming to make nine pills in one furnace.

Of course, he expected that the last furnace would produce two or three pills, which would be enough to recover the losses. "The last step, combine the furnaces and warm the pills!"

Li Qing whispered, pointed with one finger, and sealed the entire life-destroying furnace with his powerful true energy.

This step is the key to making the pill. The last nine pills will completely remove all their spirituality and finally condense into pills.

About half a quarter of an hour later, Li Qing slowly withdrew the true energy sealed in the life-annihilation furnace.

He couldn't wait to look over, wanting to see how many pills were produced in the first attempt of refining the elixir.

But after seeing the situation at the bottom of the furnace, the expectant expression on Li Qing's face slowly solidified.

This result made him feel greatly disappointed. In the Life-Destroying Furnace, six of the nine pills completely collapsed into waste slag, and the remaining three pills were extremely dim, with almost no trace of luster visible.

There is no doubt that if these three pills are eaten, the toxicity will be much stronger than the medicinal properties. I am afraid they are not Jade Bone Pills, but should be called Bone-Erosion Pills.

Three pills are produced in one furnace, but they are all waste!
"Hiss, is my alchemy talent really that bad?"

"I clearly followed the steps of the recipe without making any mistakes. At most my technique was a little rough. How could there be such a huge difference?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Li Qing felt his scalp tingling a little, because he hadn't even discovered what his problem was, which made him very frustrated.

This time, there was no one to guide him. Even if there was a recipe, he could only figure it out on his own, slowly through trial and error.

There is a big difference between alchemy and refining equipment. It is not enough to just control the temperature.

Li Qing slowly calmed down his anxious mood. He carefully recalled every step he had taken in refining the elixir, and then compared it with what was described in the recipe.

In his mind, some of the words and deeds of Senior Bailing slowly emerged.

Finally, he found some shortcomings in his previous refining, and could make more improvements and perfections.

"My steps are indeed correct, but my technique is indeed too crude. Alchemy is a delicate job after all, and it cannot be done with great force like hammering a weapon."

"We have to make some improvements next. We can't do it all at once."

In fact, Li Qing has seen a lot of alchemy inheritance over the years. Although he rarely practices it, he has learned a lot of corresponding knowledge.

Now, he put this knowledge into practice and began to refine the second batch of Jade Bone Pills.

The spiritual fire was boiling, and the light in the cave was constantly shining.

This time, Li Qing spent two full days on refining, which was much longer than the first time.

The pill was still refined according to the steps in the recipe, but the technique was much more delicate, no longer so rough, and very calm.

Two days later, Li Qing once again opened the Life-Destroying Furnace and looked at the nine pills in the furnace.

This time, the result finally did not disappoint him, and a look of surprise appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

"There are five successful pills, and only one useless one among them!"

As his mind moved slightly, four round and full pills with a little light red floated out of the furnace and landed in Li Qing's palm.

The fresh fragrance of the elixir penetrated Li Qing's nostrils. He could not contain the joy on his face and he was so excited that he couldn't help but grin and laugh.

Four Jade Bone Pills were refined in one furnace. Although there was some difference between the results and those on the recipe, Li Qing was already satisfied enough.

The second furnace successfully produced a perfect Jade Bone Pill, which actually exceeded his expectations.

"Keep up the good work and continue refining!" Li Qing took a deep breath, cleared out the waste pills and pill residue, and continued refining the third furnace.

Time passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, more than thirty days had passed.

After successfully refining a furnace of Jade Bone Pills, in order to grasp this hard-earned feeling, Li Qing opened the furnace seventeen times in a row in the cave!
His spirit was very strong and he was extremely energetic. He had no time to rest at all.

Among these seventeen furnaces, four failed in refining, and there was even one time when the furnace almost exploded, but he managed to save it.

From thirteen furnaces, he harvested a total of seventy-four Jade Bone Pills. Now he has seventy-eight Jade Bone Pills in his hands.

Just when Li Qing wanted to continue refining, he felt a sharp pain in his soul, which was a state close to his limit.

Even if his soul was as powerful as that of a cultivator in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, he would inevitably feel tired under such high-intensity concentration.

There is a limit after all!
"Huh! Alchemy is really not an easy job." Li Qing rubbed his eyebrows and tried to relax.

In fact, what he didn't know was that there were very few alchemists who could make 19 furnaces of pills in one go. This was a very crazy behavior.

Generally speaking, after alchemists have refined a batch of pills, they will choose to rest for a day or two to adjust their state and restore their consciousness before continuing to refine the pills.

But Li Qing had no idea about this. He knew very little about alchemy and just treated it as his own weapon refining. As long as his soul did not reach its limit, he would keep refining.

"I've gained quite a lot. It's time to take a break. I've got nearly eighty Jade Bone Pills, which is enough for me to eat for a while."

"After that, I will continue to collect branches and leaves of old Huangjing. Currently, I only lack this magical medicine. I can continue to refine the elixir until I can refine a body of jade bones."

"No, we can even sell some Jade Bone Pills in exchange for merit points. There are so many body cultivators in Xuan Ancient City, so this pill will definitely sell well."

"Even for a fifth-level body cultivator, it will be of great use."

"This pill cannot improve their physical training, but it can strengthen their bones at the existing level of physical training. It should be very popular."

Li Qing kept talking to himself and had already finalized some plans for the future.

Xuan Ancient City is located in a remote area. Li Qing is sure that there is no recipe for the Jade Bone Pill here. This may be because there are few cultivators ascending from the lower realm and not many exchanges with humans from other continents.

Therefore, the Jade Bone Pill he brought from the lower world can become his exclusive means of making money.

"If it were on a continent where humans mainly gather, such as Tianyuan Continent, I'm afraid the sales of the Jade Bone Pill wouldn't be that good. Even if there's no identical pill formula, there would be better alternatives."

"The foundation of the human race in the spiritual world must not be underestimated."

He was very self-aware about this and did not dare to aim too high. He thought that with this Jade Bone Pill he could practice without worries.

With this thought in mind, Li Qing took out a Jade Bone Pill and swallowed it in one breath.

This pill has a slightly sweet taste. It does not melt in the mouth, but falls into the stomach, slowly releasing its medicinal properties.

Soon, Li Qing felt a slight cool sensation in every muscle and bone in his body.
