From the waste of spiritual roots to the practice of asking the devil.

Chapter 27 Xu's Alchemy Shop
"Let's take the test."

"Okay, please follow me."

After reaching an agreement, the young man in fancy clothes did not bother Wang Yu anymore, which made Wang Yu even more curious.

"How long have you been following Deacon Xu, old senior? What's your name?"

“My last name is Zhu, you can just call me Old Zhu.

"As for following Deacon Xu, it has only been a few days. Xu's Alchemy Shop opened, and I am somewhat famous in this circle of shopkeepers. I was invited to take charge of the shop."

"I see."

Every industry has its own circle. Being eloquent is also a talent. It is normal to have a circle of shopkeepers, but it may be inappropriate to ask someone to take charge.

Elder Zhu led Wang Yu into the backyard, pointed to a room and said, "This is the first-level earth fire room. The medicinal materials are all prepared. I will wait for you at the door to make the elixir."

"Easy to say."

Wang Yu was confident and naturally not afraid of some tests. After another two months, not only did he push the two basic pill recipes to perfection.

[Placement column 2: Cold Chi Alchemy (incomplete)]

"Han Chi Alchemy (35/100): Practice twelve times a day, and you will be able to master it in eight months."

Reaching this stage in alchemy can be considered a small success. With a completely understood recipe, there is no reason for it to fail.

Therefore, even if it is the first time, I feel particularly proficient.

There are four steps to making elixir.

Refining, fusing, condensing and storing the elixir!
The so-called [refining] is also the most well-known step, which is to remove impurities and extract the essence.

This impurity is often misunderstood as something poisonous and harmful, but in fact, most spiritual medicines are the essence of heaven and earth, and are full of natural beauty with almost no impurities. They are the purest spiritual things.

The extraction is based on the recipe of the elixir, removing some of the medicinal properties that do not meet the needs, removing the muddy smell, and removing some of the influence of the earth's energy when the roots grow.

Depending on the growth environment, the parts that need to be removed are also different, which is even a science.

Except for the medicinal properties required by the pill recipe, the rest are impurities.

This is refinement!
The second step [Fusion], as the name suggests, is to fuse the medicinal properties of multiple elixirs. This requires a deep understanding of pharmacology and a familiarity with the principles and sequence of pill formula pairing. Any wrong step will increase the difficulty of making the pill.

The medicinal properties, pharmacology, and methods of processing medicinal materials are enough for ordinary people to spend 20 to 30 years to learn. The method of controlling fire also plays a key role in this step and is the core of the fire refining method.

The third step [Condensing the Pill] is mainly based on the Condensing Pill Seal to condense the liquid medicine into a pill. This step is more dependent on skills and cultivation, and requires spiritual consciousness to control and spiritual power to blend.

Therefore, it was not unreasonable for that young man to doubt Wang Yu. The cultivation level he showed was only the third level of Qi training, and his consciousness could not even leave his body, so how could he control the details to refine the elixir!

The fourth step [Nourish the Pill] After the pill is condensed successfully, it still needs to be refined slowly over a low fire so that the medicinal properties can be completely unified under the blending of spiritual power. Only then can it be considered a success.

If hidden dangers are left in the previous steps, it will cause cracks in the pill, or the medicinal properties will conflict and turn the pill into a waste. It is important to proceed in a slow and orderly manner, and to achieve speed in a stable manner!
It only takes a quarter of an hour, or half an hour, to refine a furnace of fasting pills.

It is made mainly from five-essence grass and spiritual grass, supplemented with spiritual spring water, uncorrupted roots, long-fragrant fruits, honey and other ordinary first-level spiritual objects.

Before the Han Chi Alchemy was refined to condense the "Cold Flame Spark", it was just an ordinary alchemy technique without any special features.

Therefore, Wang Yu's practice was just average.

Half an hour later, a furnace of fasting pills was completed, and five pills were produced, all of which were of medium quality. However, his fire control skills were not very good, which affected the success rate of the pills.

In fact, a thorough understanding of the elixir formula can improve the quality of the elixir.

Of course, the level of alchemy skills will also affect the quality of the elixir and the success rate of the elixir, which is a comprehensive factor.

In general, Wang Yu's brain is capable but his hands are slow, and this will gradually change as his alchemy skills improve. The second furnace will be the Huiling Pill.

It was completed without any problems. Six pills were produced, two of which were top quality and four were medium quality. The situation was better.

Looking at the two bottles of elixirs in his hand, Wang Yu withheld one pill of the Bigu Pill and two top-grade Huiling Pills, and only handed over four pills of each.

Reasonable fire consumption, otherwise how can he make a fortune? Even so, when he pushed the door out to check the elixir for Mr. Zhu, he still received amazing praise.

“With such good skills, it is not impossible to refine top-grade elixirs in the future.

"This is the employment contract of Xu's Alchemy Shop, certified by the sect. If you agree, you can sign it directly."

Wang Yu took it and looked at it, and was immediately shocked by the income of the alchemist. It was indeed a rare production profession that could make a lot of money.

The price offered by Xu's Alchemy Shop was two hundred spirit stones a month, which seemed low, but he had only earned two hundred contribution points after working in Tantai Medicine Garden for half a year. Although the latter was more precious, this was one month's income, and half a year would be twelve thousand spirit stones, which was considered a high salary.

You can buy two top-grade cold blood pills.

There are also requirements for alchemy. Ten furnaces are made every day, with half of them being Bigu Pills and Huiling Pills. The rate of low-quality pills should not exceed 20%, and the success rate of each furnace should not be less than three pills.

The time for refining the elixir is two and a half hours, plus the time needed for recovery in the middle, so the daily work takes about five hours, which almost takes up the entire day.

After doing the calculation this way, I suddenly felt squeezed.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Yu said, "Mr. Zhu, there is no problem with this contract, but the duration needs to be changed to one year. Ten years is too long."

"This can be discussed."

Mr. Zhu smiled and invited Wang Yu to the reception room at the side, and spoke briefly.

"The Dan Shop needs to make money, and will also give you some Dan recipes for free. In other words, it is a training position. Master Xu Dan will give you some advice from time to time, saving you a lot of time."

Wang Yu still shook his head.

"Ten years is too long. I'll only sign for one year."

"Eight years."

"One year."

"Six years."

"One year."

Seeing that Wang Yu was unshakable, Mr. Zhu spoke again.

"Offering a high salary means we value long-term benefits. The Danpu is not profitable, and we may even lose money in training you.

"If you cut back on hours, your monthly revenue will also be cut back."

Wang Yu almost got nervous when hearing such a familiar line of speech. He took a deep breath before asking.

"How much?"

"one hundred."

"Farewell!"

Wang Yu refused to listen and said, "I'll leave." Zhu Lao gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, just one year. No reduction in salary, but you won't be able to get training from the Danpu."

"can."

After modifying the terms of the contract, Wang Yu checked it again and again before signing and putting his fingerprints on it. There were three copies of this thing, one for him, one for the alchemy shop, and one for the sect’s law enforcement hall.

Working at Xu's Pill Shop, he would be able to save up enough spirit stones to buy top-grade Cold Blood Pills within a month at most, and then he wouldn't have to worry about the slow improvement of his cultivation.

"Pleasant to work with."

"Pleasant to work with."

After saying goodbye, Wang Yu returned to his cave as an ordinary disciple. After waiting for another year or so, his strength would undergo a transformation. On the other hand, he could also consider purchasing a magic weapon.
