I have a proficiency panel for alchemy and immortality

Chapter 49 First-level Alchemist
The next morning.

Only when it was bright did Song Jie come out of his practice.

He slowly exhaled, opened his eyes, and felt the spiritual power in his body.

"It has grown a little bit, which is good."

After breaking through the third level of the Qi Refining Stage, although the speed of cultivation has slowed down, thanks to his mastery of the Changchun Gong, he can still feel the growth of spiritual power every day.

"Gulu~"

The feeling of hunger in his stomach reminded Song Jie that it was time to eat.

"Let's go out and buy two pots first."

After a quick wash, Song Jie went out to the daily necessities store and bought two large iron pots.

As for why it was two bites, of course it was to prevent the alchemy from going awry again today.

After carrying two large iron pots along the way, Song Jie immediately replaced them with brand new ones when he returned home.

Enduring the hunger in my stomach, I quickly steamed a bowl of rice, fried a plate of Kung Pao chicken and a plate of stir-fried beef with green peppers.

He swallowed a few mouthfuls and finished all the spiritual rice, Kung Pao chicken and stir-fried beef with green peppers. Only then did he touch his slightly bulging belly with satisfaction.

"Hiccup~"

He burped and cleared the dishes.

Then he took out another batch of medicinal ingredients for a first-grade elixir.

He bought a total of two first-grade elixirs with medicinal materials yesterday, one for the Rejuvenating Pill and the other for the Restoring Spirit Pill.

"Yesterday's rejuvenation pill failed to be refined. If the ingredients for this rejuvenation pill also fail, I will have to make another trip to the Spiritual Medicine House."

Thinking of this, Song Jie decided to consume skill points to improve his proficiency in Fu Ling Wan.

Although he now has more than 700 spirit stones, the cost of refining the Rejuvenation Pill and the Soul-Restoring Pill once is one spirit stone.

If he keeps failing, he won't be able to cope with it.

Immediately, he opened the attribute panel, consumed skill points, and raised the proficiency of the Fu Ling Pill to a proficient level.

【技艺：炼丹（未入阶）：回春丹（乍练10/100），复灵丸（娴熟101/300），辟谷丹（小成549/600），金刚龙虎丹（小成301/600）】

Suddenly, all kinds of insights about the Fu Ling Pill came to mind.

In a short while, Song Jie quickly digested these insights.

He now has a feeling that he can achieve a 100% success rate in refining the Fu Ling Pills.

It was as if he had refined the Fu Ling Pill many times and had already mastered the refining techniques of the Fu Ling Pill and the details that needed to be paid attention to during the refining process.

I glanced at the attribute panel and saw that there were only thirty-one skill points left.

"I hope the next refining will be successful, otherwise this skill point will be wasted."

After closing the attribute panel, Song Jie immediately turned his attention to the medicinal materials for refining Fuling Pills.

"The main ingredients of Fuling Pills are Lingsui Flower, Yujing Grass, Tianxin Grass, and Bibo Lotus...

"The auxiliary medicine is Xuantian vine, and the lead medicine is Tianqing flower."

I reviewed the medicinal properties of these herbs in my mind, especially the Lingsui Flower, which is the most important ingredient in the Fuling Pills and contains a large amount of spiritual energy.

After confirming that he had mastered the method of refining Fu Ling Pills, Song Jie no longer hesitated.

He raised his arm, pointed his palm at the newly replaced large iron pot, and quietly released the Blue Nether Fire.

With a "boom" sound, a cluster of faint blue flame appeared out of nowhere in the iron pot.

Then, Song Jie quickly threw the main medicine into the Qingming Phantom Fire.

With another "boom" sound, the Qingming Phantom Fire instantly expanded a large circle, with violent spiritual power raging inside it.

Seeing this, Song Jie immediately threw in the Xuantian vine and the Tianqing flower one after another.

Although the violent spiritual power was still raging, it had obviously eased a lot. Listening to the "sizzling" sound coming from the Qingming Nether Fire, Song Jie did not dare to relax for a moment, concentrating on blending the spirituality between the medicinal materials.

Because his proficiency in making the Fu Ling Pills had reached a proficient level, Song Jie made no mistakes during the refining process this time, and everything went on in an orderly manner.

As time passed, the medicinal materials in the Qingming Nether Fire gradually melted and turned into a pool of medicinal liquid.

Then it was constantly refined and compressed...

Gradually, the pool of medicinal liquid was divided into five parts and began to solidify into the prototype of a pill.

A faint fragrance of elixir wafted away.

Just by taking a breath of the fragrance of the elixir, Song Jie felt that the spiritual power in his body became active, as if it had recovered a little.

"It's almost done!"

A gleam of light flashed in Song Jie's eyes, but he didn't dare to be overly happy. He concentrated on refining and compressing the elixir in the Qingming Youhuo.

Not long after, the prototypes of the five pills gradually became round and smooth.

"Congeal!"

Song Jie shouted loudly and increased the output of spiritual power in his body.

In an instant, the Qingming Phantom Fire suddenly expanded, then rapidly shrank until it was extinguished.

"Haha, it's done!"

Song Jie looked at the iron pot with joy.

I saw five light blue Fuling Pills lying quietly in the pot.

I couldn't wait to reach out and pick up one, holding it in my hand and looking at it carefully.

"What a shame, it was so close to reaching inferior quality."

He sighed softly, then picked up the other four Fuling Pills and examined them.

"Five first-grade inferior soul-restoring pills. Although they are of the lowest quality, they are still okay."

The quality of elixirs can be roughly divided into six grades, from low to high, namely, inferior, low quality, medium, superior, high quality, and perfect.

Currently, the highest quality elixir that Song Jie has refined is only of superior quality.

This was the first time he had refined something of such poor quality.

“I guess it’s because the proficiency of Qingming Youhuo is too low, and also because I used an iron pot to refine the first-grade elixir.

“If I can improve my proficiency in using the Azure Nether Fire to proficiency, I can also build an alchemy furnace.

"There should be a higher chance of refining a first-grade elixir of inferior quality."

Through this refining process, Song Jie also discovered a difference between the inferior elixir and the first-grade elixir.

That is, low-quality elixirs. It seems that one does not need a very high level of proficiency to refine high-quality elixirs.

Take the Vajra Dragon-Tiger Pill for example. Once one reaches a proficient level, one can refine pills of low or medium quality.

After the proficiency level is raised to a small level, there is even a chance to refine high-quality pills.

However, the situation with first-grade elixirs is completely different. Even with great proficiency, there is no guarantee that one can produce an elixir of inferior quality.

In short, if you want to refine a high-quality elixir from a first-grade elixir, the proficiency required will be higher than that required for refining elixirs of lower quality.

Unable to figure out the reason, Song Jie put it behind him and stopped thinking about it.

Looking at the five light blue soul-revitalizing pills lying in his hand, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"From now on, I am also a first-level alchemist!"

After laughing twice, Song Jie had an idea and opened the attribute panel and looked at the skill column.

【技艺：炼丹（一阶）：回春丹（乍练10/100），复灵丸（娴熟101/300），辟谷丹（小成549/600），金刚龙虎丹（小成301/600）】
