Rebirth of the Li Family Immortal Road
Chapter 497 Alchemy Talent
February, the ninety-third year of the Qingli period.
It has been more than a year since Li Qianqing gathered the Jindan forces of Qing State, and the time for going to Fanyang State has been determined, which is May of next year.
Li Qianqing looked at the overall information of the current clan members.
The policy adjustments he had previously determined have also achieved certain results.
After the three-year period, the number of family cultivators trying four of the hundred arts increased significantly, and there were also many more family cultivators who wanted to specialize in spiritual planting. Although many family cultivators were planting and taking care of spiritual fields, they no longer took care of the spiritual fields when they reached the later stages of Qi Refining.
When the family cultivators reach the late stage of Qi Refining, there will be a transformation.
They would only stay if they continued to follow the path of spiritual plants. They also changed from taking care of the spiritual herbs in the first-level spiritual fields to taking care of the spiritual herbs in the second-level spiritual fields.
"Oh, there is another one who wants to be a puppeteer in the future, or a foundation-building seed."
Currently, Li Qingqing is the only puppeteer in the family. After sending this message, he will inform Li Qingqing and ask her to see if the family's foundation-building seed has the talent to become a puppeteer.
Puppet Master is a relatively unpopular skill among the Hundred Arts of Cultivation. It is difficult and not very popular. Unlike Formation Master, although it is also difficult, it is very popular. Many forces hope to train their own Formation Master. If they don't have one, they also hope to make friends with one.
The most powerful formation master in the family now is undoubtedly Li Changgui. He has cultivated to the peak of foundation building and has attempted to form a pill once, but unfortunately failed. Fortunately, he did not suffer serious injuries during the failure, so he still has a second chance to form a pill.
After reading all the information, a sound transmission note appeared in front of Li Qianqing.
"Tingting's sound transmission note." At this time, Li Xunting sent him a message, and Li Qianqing was curious about what it was about.
Receive the content in the note.
The information that Li Xunting sent to him mainly talked about Li Yiqing.
Li Yiqing seems to have a talent as an alchemist, and she is now returning from Huangmin County.
When receiving this news, Li Qianqing was a little surprised at first, but then he thought that this situation was quite normal. After testing that Li Yiqing was a cultivator with a single fire spiritual root, he was just about to go into seclusion to form a pill, so the cultivator with a heavenly spiritual root, who was originally under his guidance and training, was handed over to Li Xunting.
If he did not cultivate to the peak of the Jindan stage by that time, he would be responsible for Li Yiqing's guidance and training. He could not guarantee whether he could discover talents in other areas during the process of guidance and training, but he had rich experience in discovering talents in alchemy.
After Li Yiqing established his foundation more than ten years ago, he went to Changting Mountain in Huangmin County, which was guarded by Li Xunting. After he adjusted some of the training and guidance policies over the years, Li Xunting should have thought that Li Yiqing, the only one she trained and guided, might have a talent for all arts of cultivation.
Then the current situation occurred.
Among the natural spiritual roots, cultivators with a single fire spiritual root and a single wood spiritual root are more likely to have a talent for alchemy. The same is true for cultivators with a single fire spiritual root and a talent for refining equipment. As for cultivators with a single wood spiritual root, in addition to the talent for alchemy, they also have a great talent for spiritual plants.
The first cultivator of the Li family with a natural spiritual root had a single earth spiritual root, and he might also have a talent for planting. When he was still in the third year, Li Qianqing did not measure that Li Zhonghao performed well in that aspect, which led to him taking a similar battle route as Li Xunting and Li Xunming.
Li Qianqing put down the news in his hand and practiced for a long time, then he heard a knock on the stone door.
It should be Li Yiqing who is back.
The stone door of the clan leader's cave opened, and just as Li Qianqing had expected, the person who came in was Li Yiqing.
"Clan leader." Li Yiqing came in and bowed.
"Grandma said that you have the talent of an alchemist. Tell me the specific circumstances of the tests your grandma asked you to take over the years. It is much easier for a foundation-building cultivator to refine a first-level pill, and they will not be able to judge many situations..."
Li Qianqing briefly talked about some things about alchemy. When one is in the Qi Refining Stage, it is much easier to judge whether one has the talent for alchemy. This is why after building the foundation, very few cultivators will change and develop in a certain direction.
"Yes, clan leader, I have already refined a first-grade high-quality elixir without anyone's guidance..."
Li Yiqing said a lot. Just after the family policy was adjusted, Li Xunting found her and asked him to try more alchemy and other cultivation skills when he had time, and to pick the ones that interested him first.
Because the clan leader Li Qianqing was an alchemist, she started to refine first-grade low-grade pills at the beginning. She found that refining pills was very easy for her, and she seemed to have learned many of them by herself.
Li Yiqing talked a lot in detail, and to Li Qianqing, a lot of it was normal. After all, Li Yiqing was already a foundation-building cultivator, and was not far from the peak of the early foundation-building stage. For a cultivator of this level who wanted to learn to refine pills, it was relatively easy to get started.
Without a good talent for alchemy, one would run into obstacles when refining more difficult first-grade high-quality elixirs.
After listening to the narration, Li Qianqing was certain that Li Yiqing had a talent for alchemy as Li Xunting had said, but there was still a big difference between ordinary alchemy talent and excellent alchemy talent.
Even if she has an ordinary talent for alchemy, Li Yiqing, who has a natural spiritual root, will definitely be able to successfully form an elixir. She is interested in taking this path, and Li Qianqing will definitely support her. For a cultivator who is engaged in any of the hundred arts of cultivation, it is also very important to know what level they can reach.
For example, for an alchemist with great talent, if he fails to cultivate to the Jindan stage and eventually stops at the peak of the foundation building stage, refining a second-grade pill may be as easy for him as eating and drinking water. However, the situation is different for refining a third-grade pill. If he has good talent, he may be able to refine a third-grade lower-grade or third-grade middle-grade pill better, but it will be very difficult to refine a third-grade upper-grade pill.
An alchemist at the peak of the Jindan stage with average talent would be much better off relatively speaking, and a Jindan stage cultivator could live hundreds of years longer than a foundation building cultivator, which further widened the gap between them.
If Li Yiqing had average talent, it would not be difficult to train her with his experience in alchemy and the resources of the Li family.
Of course, for him, the stronger Li Yiqing's talent in alchemy is, the better.
"Try to refine a batch of pills." Through Li Yiqing's narration, even he could only make a rough judgment about Li Yiqing's talent.
He had already given Li Yiqing a range of alchemy talent in his mind, and further testing on her would be to narrow that area. As for the very specific alchemy talent, it would take Li Yiqing to stay with him for some time before he could make a judgment.
"What level should I refine, Patriarch?"
"First-class, upper grade. Wait a minute."
"Yes."
"Just refine this Qingyun Pill." Li Qianqing took out a pill recipe. This was a first-grade top-grade pill that Li Yiqing had never refined before.
Li Qianqing first gave the pill formula to Li Yiqing for him to study carefully, while he himself prepared the spiritual medicine needed for Li Yiqing to refine the pill.
He didn't just ask Li Yiqing to refine one furnace, but asked her to refine ten furnaces at once.
This would help him better judge Li Yiqing's talent in alchemy, and also help him formulate the most appropriate training plan for Li Yiqing in the future.
Li Yiqing, who was in the foundation-building stage, refined ten furnaces of first-grade high-quality elixirs in one go, which was a challenge for her. When Li Qianqing returned to the clan leader's cave, he had already prepared ten sets of materials for refining Qingyuan Pills for Li Yiqing.
"Yiqing, this is the elixir you will use to make the Qingyun Pill. Once it is ready, you can start refining it. During the refining process, I will just watch and not say anything. I will not give you any guidance. Once it is ready, you can start refining it."
"Yes, patriarch!"
Li Yiqing nodded. She knew that the patriarch did this to test her better.
While Li Qianqing was out, she felt that she had completely absorbed the contents of the Qingyun Pill recipe and could start refining it now.
She took out a deep red alchemy furnace, which was of top grade, first class.
Even though Li Yiqing is a foundation-building cultivator, it is better for him to master the alchemy furnace from low to high levels. Up to now, he has not used the second-level alchemy furnace. Li Qianqing is quite satisfied with this situation.
After all, it has only been a few years since Li Yiqing started refining pills.
Among the first-grade high-quality elixirs, Qingyun Pill is considered to be of medium difficulty to refine.
The first furnace was also the first time that Li Yiqing refined Qingyun Pills. Only one of the ten Qingyun Pills in the furnace was successful.
If Li Yiqing is now a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage, this first batch of Qingyun Pills would be able to better illustrate her talent in alchemy, but he is in the Foundation Establishment stage, so even if the first batch produces a Qingyun Pill, it can only be a vague judgment.
As time went by, the number of Qingyun Pills refined by Li Yiqing continued to increase.
The second furnace was able to produce two, and the next three furnaces were able to produce three each. The sixth furnace produced three, but the number returned to two in the seventh furnace.
There were ten furnaces of Qingyun Pills in total, and there was no situation where four Qingyun Pills appeared at the same time. However, three Qingyun Pills appeared three times in the next five furnaces.
"Patriarch, what do you think?"
"Very good, you have a good talent for alchemy."
Through this test, Li Qianqing has locked Li Yiqing's alchemy talent into the upper-average to superior range.
Li Qianqing must be very satisfied with this result.
There is no doubt that Li Yiqing is very worthy of training.
After that, when he reaches the middle stage of Nascent Soul, he should no longer need to refine the family's elixirs below the third-grade intermediate quality.
Li Qianqing was thinking about this in his mind, and at the same time he began to make a detailed plan for Li Yiqing's training in alchemy.
With such a talent for alchemy and the fact that Li Yiqing is still in the foundation-building stage, he must start refining second-order pills within the next year. If Li Yiqing's talent for alchemy is only average, or even below average, he will have to refine first-order top-quality pills in the next two to three years before he can try second-order pills.
Due to different talents, a lot of training is different. If the talent is poor, you must accumulate more experience to prepare for the next stage of pill refining. Otherwise, it is a pure waste of materials. Without talent and experience, entering the next stage quickly will only make you stagnate at this stage.
"Next, you will stay in the ancestral land and don't need to go to Changting Mountain."
Li Yiqing nodded when she heard this. She had been prepared for a long time. Her great-aunt had told her that if her talent in alchemy could pass the test, the clan leader would personally guide her. What a wonderful thing that would be.
"Come back here in three days. I will guide you in the process of refining the pills at that time. Be mentally prepared in the next few days. There will be a big difference between refining by concentrating on it and refining while listening."
"I understand." Li Yiqing responded quickly.
In the first year of training, Li Qianqing had to prepare a lot of things.
For Li Yiqing, apart from cultivation, the rest of his time is almost always spent on refining pills, and of course communicating with the clan leader.
This year, Li Yiqing clearly felt that his alchemy skills were improving rapidly.
During the process, she also replaced her first-grade superior alchemy furnace with a second-grade inferior alchemy furnace, and also began to refine second-grade pills.
The first time Li Yiqing refined a second-grade low-grade pill, she was amazed at her success rate. She successfully refined two out of eight pills, which translated into a 25% success rate.
If she continues like this, she will be able to become a master alchemist like the patriarch.
Now Li Qianqing has once again narrowed down the area of Li Yiqing's talent in alchemy. From a comprehensive perspective of comprehension, fire control ability, medicinal herb perception and other aspects, Li Yiqing's talent in alchemy is undoubtedly top-notch.
If superior alchemy talents are to be differentiated, they can be divided into many levels. This is the same as spiritual root talent. Once it is roughly determined, there is no need to further subdivide it. For Li Qianqing, it is enough that Li Yiqing's alchemy talent is superior.
"There are still three months." Li Qianqing calculated the time and realized that it would not be long before he would go to the Five Mountains Palace in Fanyang Kingdom.
Because they had to wait for their arrival and in order to better attack later, in the past few years, the Five Mountains Palace rarely took the initiative to attack, and not many monks from Zishan City were killed.
So far, the Jindan cultivators who will go to Fanyang Kingdom have been completely confirmed. Among the sixteen Jindan cultivators, there are four in the late Jindan stage. In addition to Li Xunting and Li Xunming from the Li family, who are in the late Jindan stage, and one in the late Jindan stage from the royal family of Lu Kingdom, the rest is the supreme elder of Qingfeng Valley, who is also the former master of Qingfeng Valley.
"Chief, I'm here." Li Yiqing happily entered Li Qianqing's cave.
As Li Yiqing spent more time with Li Qianqing, his original sense of restraint became much less.
"Yiqing, when will you be able to cultivate to the middle stage of foundation building?"
"The end of next year." Li Yiqing made a rough estimate in his mind and then gave Li Qianqing the answer.
"Well, then try to start refining the second-level intermediate-grade elixir by the end of next year. Three months later, I will take your great-aunt and great-uncle to Fanyang Country. At the beginning of the year after next, I will come back to check on your refining results. You must not slack off during my absence."
"Yes!" Li Yiqing promised.
Li Yiqing knew something about the clan leader going to Fanyang Kingdom, and bringing his great-aunt Li Xunting and great-uncle Li Xunming with him.
They went to Fanyang Kingdom as if to join the struggle between the two major forces.
If it succeeds, their Li family will not only have a certain influence in the three small countries, but also in Fanyang Country. When her alchemy skills improve, maybe she can help Fanyang Country refine pills and charge a sea fee. (End of this chapter)
