I have a proficiency panel for alchemy and immortality

Chapter 120 The Effects of Ling Yun Dan
Song Jie took out a scraper, gently cut the beeswax used to seal the bottle mouth, and then opened the lid.

Suddenly, a wave of spiritual energy of the fourth level of Qi Refining Stage appeared in the alchemy room.

Song Jie sensed it silently and said to himself, "Fortunately, it was sealed in time, so the spiritual energy inside did not escape too much."

Immediately, Song Jie no longer hesitated. He immediately opened the lid of the Ziyun Copper Furnace and poured all the spiritual liquid in the pottery jar into the Ziyun Copper Furnace.

Then he aimed his palms at the Ziyun Copper Furnace and exerted slight force.

"Teng~"

A cluster of faint blue flames appeared in the purple cloud copper furnace, instantly enveloping the spiritual liquid inside.

Under the smelting of the Qingming Phantom Fire in Song Jie's Great Dao Realm, the spiritual liquid in the Ziyun Copper Furnace soon made a "sizzling" sound.

The volume of the spiritual liquid began to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Slowly, white crystals began to precipitate from it.

As time went by, white crystals became more and more numerous, and wisps of black smoke floated out of the Ziyun Copper Furnace.

Jinjiao, who was lying on the side, twitched his nose slightly.

His eyes, which were originally drooping, suddenly widened.

He immediately opened his mouth and took a deep breath.

The black smoke floating out of the Ziyun Copper Furnace was sucked into its mouth.

Those impurities that are quite harmful to cultivators are, in the eyes of the unicorn beast, great supplements for cultivation.

From the perspective of raw materials for alchemy, there is not much difference between the corpses of cultivators and those of monsters.

However, there are essential differences between the cultivation level of cultivators and that of monsters.

Therefore, if Song Jie uses monsters as raw materials, he will not be able to refine Lingyun Pills that can be taken by cultivators.

If a cultivator absorbs the cultivation level of a monster beast, he may very likely become neither human nor monster.

Song Jie has also conducted in-depth research on this in recent years.

Unfortunately, the research results show that transsexuals are indeed on a different path.

Otherwise, Song Jie could use monsters as materials for alchemy, which would be easier for him to accept psychologically.

……

About a quarter of an hour later, there was no trace of the spiritual liquid in the Ziyun Copper Furnace.

Those crystals precipitated from the spiritual liquid were continuously purified under the smelting of the Qingming Phantom Fire, and finally turned into white powder.

"That should be enough."

Song Jie nodded slightly, manipulated his spiritual power, pulled out the white powder in the Ziyun copper furnace, and put it back into the pottery jar.

"The purification is complete, let's start the formal alchemy."

As he spoke, Song Jie took out the alchemy herbs that he had prepared long ago from his storage bag, and took out a small amount of white powder from the pottery jar.

I reviewed one of the recipes for Ling Yun Dan in my mind.

Then he began his first attempt at making Lingyun Dan.

……

Time flows.

In the blink of an eye, another half a month has passed.

During the past half month, Song Jie has devoted most of his energy to refining the pills that the store sells on a daily basis.

I just take out a little time every day to try to refine one or two furnaces of Lingyun Pills.

After half a month of experimentation, he had adjusted the formula of Lingyun Dan at least twenty times.

It has to be said that this kind of elixir that can directly improve one's cultivation is much more complicated than the elixirs he had developed in the past.

Fortunately, over the past ten years, Song Jie has read many books related to alchemy and has also done relevant research in advance.

Relying on more than ten years of accumulation, after consuming nearly half of the white powder, he was finally able to successfully refine the Lingyun Pill.

After successfully refining a Lingyun Pill and verifying its efficacy.

In the next half month, Song Jie took the time to refine the remaining white powder into Lingyun Pills.

In the end, thirty Lingyun Pills were refined.

In fact, Song Jie can also refine all the white powder into a Lingyun Pill.

But in that case, the effect of the medicine would be too strong, and it might not be digested and absorbed in time, so a lot of the cultivation would be dissipated and cause waste.

So Song Jie divided the purified white powder into several portions for refining.

This disperses the drug's effects and ensures adequate absorption.

“If you take one of these thirty Ling Yun Pills each morning, noon and evening, they should be absorbed in time and won’t be wasted.

"Wait ten days and see how it works. I hope I won't be disappointed."

After putting thirty Lingyun Pills into the jade bottle and storing them in the storage bag, Song Jie finished his alchemy work for today.

"In half a month, Xiao Ning will be sent to Danding Sect to participate in the entrance test."

A few days ago, Shi Lei found Song Jie again in private, and the two talked for a long time about the future of Shi An and Shi Ning.

Under Shi Lei's ideological work, Shi An and Shi Ning finally made the same choice and decided to join the immortal cultivation sect.

Even though they are reluctant to leave, they are still young and will definitely yearn for a wider world in their hearts.

I fantasize that one day, after I have achieved success in my cultivation, I will be able to go to farther places, meet more monks, and broaden my horizons.

If they stayed in Xinyuefang City, they could certainly live a stable life relying on the business built by their father.

But this kind of life that they can predict the end of at a glance is unacceptable for teenagers of their age.

So after Shi Lei told them about this, they didn't hesitate for too long and decided to follow Shi Lei's arrangements.

Shi Lei also took advantage of Li Caiwei's relationship and bought a place as a menial disciple from the Qiyun Immortal Sect through the Li family.

Just for the quota of this menial disciple, Shi Lei spent five spirit crystals.

That is 50,000 spirit stones.

I wonder how many low-level cultivators could only earn so many spirit stones after working hard all their lives.

And this can only buy a place as a menial disciple in the Qiyun Immortal Sect.

You have to have certain connections to buy it.

Ordinary people, even if they have spirit stones, cannot buy the quota for this menial disciple.

In addition to these five spirit crystals, Shi Lei also spent several thousand spirit stones on all the arrangements.

When Song Jie heard this number, he was immediately filled with sighs.

Back then, he refused to become a menial disciple of Danding Sect, but in return he only got a first-grade pill recipe.

Although this first-grade pill recipe has also generated a lot of profits for him over the years.

But after such a comparison, Song Jie still felt a little distressed.

If I had known earlier, the menial disciples of the five major sects could be worth so many spirit stones.

He should have asked at the beginning whether he could sell the opportunity to join the Danding Sect to someone else.

He believed that there must be many people willing to pay a high price for this spot.

Of course, Song Jie was just thinking about it in his mind. If he really went back to that time, he would not dare to ask this question.

Once this question is asked, it will definitely offend the Danding Sect.

However, Shi Lei's 50,000 spirit stones were not just to buy the status of a menial disciple.

According to Shi Lei, when Shi An joins the Qiyun Immortal Sect, he will be assigned to a position related to weapon refining.

In large sects like the five major sects, although there are many disciples doing menial tasks, they all have their own duties.

The Qiyun Immortal Sect is famous for its weapon refining. Among the menial disciples, the best positions are naturally related to weapon refining.

In this position, not only can one learn knowledge related to refining, but one also has a greater chance of being promoted to an outer disciple. This is the benefit of having connections.

Compared to Shi An's good luck, Shi Ning can only rely on his own abilities to participate in the entrance trial of Danding Sect.

Whether he could successfully join the Danding Sect was still an unknown.

Even if you pass the entry test by chance, you will most likely not be assigned to a good position.

The Danding Sect's entrance trial is still one and a half months away.

Because the journey is long, we have to set off a month in advance and arrive there a few days early to have a good rest.

As for Shi Lei, he will be sending Shi An to Qiyun Immortal Sect in a few days, so he will definitely not have time to come back to send Shi Ning to Danding Sect.

So he could only entrust Song Jie to help send Shi Ning to Danding Sect.

Song Jie did not refuse, as they had already discussed this matter before.

"It seems like I haven't been out of New Moon Market for a long time. I'm a little nervous about going so far this time."

Song Jie remembered that the last time he went out of Xinyue Market was three years ago.

That time, I accompanied Shi Lei to Qinghe Market, which was the market where Liu Zhicheng originally settled.

The reason I went there was because Shi Lei said that Qinghefang City was going to hold an auction, and I wanted to go and see if there were any good things.

Song Jie had never attended an auction before, so he went along to broaden his horizons.

At that auction, Shi Lei did buy a piece of refining material.

As for Song Jie, he was just there for the fun and did not participate in the auction.

"In the next half month, we need to make some preparations. We need to bring enough medicine when we go such a long way."

After a little consideration, Song Jie walked out of the alchemy room and came to the front shop.

"Brother Song, have you finished making the elixir and are you ready to go home?"

Li Caiwei saw Song Jie coming out from the back hall and greeted him with a smile.

Song Jie nodded and smiled: "Yes, today's pills are all practiced, it's time to go home and practice."

“Brother Song is really hardworking.” Li Caiwei covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, “Today, Wang Po is here to propose marriage to you again.

"It is said that there is a good girl in the third level of Qi Refining, with three spiritual roots. I want to ask if you are interested in meeting her."

Wang Po is a well-known matchmaker in Xinyuefang Market.

There are many couples in the market who got together with the help of Wang Po.

Song Jie is the most famous first-class alchemist in Xinyue Market. Although he is already 44 years old, this age is not considered particularly old for a successful male cultivator.

Moreover, Song Jie had already cultivated Changchun Gong to the realm of the Great Dao, and had preserved his youth many years ago.

Judging from his appearance, he is just a young man under 30 years old.

A young-looking, well-known alchemist who also opened a shop. The spiritual stones he earned every month might be more than what some cultivators earned in a year.

There are countless female cultivators in the market who want to get to know Song Jie, an alchemist who is handsome, talented, wealthy, and has remained chaste for many years.

Over the years, several brave female monks have run to the Danqi Pavilion and expressed their love to Song Jie in person.

Unfortunately, Song Jie declined them all.

Some people who are thin-skinned will entrust matchmakers like Wang Po to propose marriage.

When Song Jie heard Li Caiwei talk about this, he felt a little overwhelmed.

He has already made it clear to the public that he is devoted to Taoism and has no intention of finding a Taoist partner for the time being.

But from time to time, matchmakers still come to propose marriages.

It would be fine if the matchmaker came to propose marriage, but over the years, Shi Lei and his wife would introduce Taoist partners to me from time to time.

He also advised Song Jie many times to find a young and beautiful Taoist partner as soon as possible while he was still young.

Otherwise, when you get older and fail to build a foundation, it will be difficult to find a Taoist partner.

Song Jie could also understand Shi Lei and his wife's thoughts.

In a place like Crescent Moon Market, most of the people living there are low-level cultivators.

Among the lower-level cultivators, most of them are almost destined to never be able to build a foundation in this lifetime.

Therefore, in the eyes of these monks, getting married and having children as soon as possible to continue the family line is a very important thing.

If the child is born with good spiritual roots and has the opportunity to build a foundation in the future, he can also bring honor to the family.

But Song Jie was determined to build his foundation, so naturally he had no time to care about love matters.

Without thinking twice, he immediately asked Li Caiwei to reject Wang Po.

Li Caiwei had anticipated Song Jie's answer. She was just symbolically helping to convey the message.

The next time Wang Po comes to the store, I will give her feedback on Song Jie's opinions.

After saying goodbye to Li Caiwei, Song Jie did not stay in the store any longer.

He was afraid that Wang Po would suddenly come over and start a conversation with him.

……

The sun rises and the moon sets.

Soon, another half month passed.

It was just daybreak when Song Jie ended his night of practice as usual.

Slowly exhaling, Song Jie opened his bright eyes.

"I will set off today and take Xiao Ning to Danding Sect to participate in the entrance trial..."

Song Jie murmured something, then his mind moved, he opened the attribute panel and looked at the realm column.

[Realm: Qi Refining Stage Sixth Level (10/100)]

"My cultivation has progressed to 10 percent."

Song Jie had taken all the thirty Lingyun Pills five days ago.

After taking the Lingyun Pill, his cultivation level increased by almost eight points.

In addition, after breaking through the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage, the accumulation of the past two months has finally reached ten points.

In other words, the improvement in his cultivation level brought about by those thirty Lingyun Pills was equivalent to the improvement in his cultivation level through sixteen months of hard practice.

It directly saved him one year and four months.

The speed at which his cultivation level improved really gave him a big surprise.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder some cultivators are willing to become evil cultivators.

This unconventional method of improving one's cultivation speed does have a fascinating appeal.

However, Song Jie also discovered that the cultivation level improved through this method was still somewhat superficial.

It is far less stable than the cultivation gained through one's own practice.

Therefore, any shortcut will have corresponding disadvantages.

Fortunately, this superficiality of cultivation is not a particularly big problem, and it can be gradually consolidated through daily practice.

That is, during the period of consolidating cultivation, the speed of improving cultivation through practice will become slower.

Where there is loss, there is gain; it is difficult to have the best of both worlds.

Song Jie could accept this.

After all, considering the time spent on consolidating cultivation, the speed of improving cultivation by taking Lingyun Dan is still far greater than the speed of improving cultivation by normal practice.

It just so happened that Song Jie had already finished all the Lingyun Pills and had no more Lingyun Pills to eat for the time being.

For the next period of time, you can practice and consolidate your somewhat superficial cultivation.

"I have to go on a long journey today, so I won't practice magic and body skills in the morning. After breakfast, I'll go find Xiao Ning..."
