Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 263: Alchemy in the Giant Furnace (Subscription Request)

The news that the psychic green snake had broken through to the second level quickly spread throughout Wolong Island.

The morale of the monks on the island was greatly boosted.

The second-level dragon snake's strength should not be underestimated.

Especially in an island environment.

Chen Xuan cultivated the green snake to the second level, and his reputation as a talented insect tamer became even more famous.

This also gave the family monks who followed him to Wolong Island to open up new land more confidence in future development.

If even demon insects can break through to the second level, how can they have no future?
Chen Xuan has a comprehensive plan for the construction of Wolong Island.

He has to live on this island for at least a hundred years, practicing diligently and condensing the golden elixir.

That also means that he has to constantly consume a large amount of spiritual stones and other cultivation resources.

If he wanted to collect the cultivation resources for Qi Ning Dan on his own, it would not only be time-consuming but also involve huge risks.

But it’s different with Wolong Island.

The fifty or so tribesmen who followed him, the more than three thousand monks on the island, and even a million mortals, all served him and became his minions in collecting resources for cultivation.

After using Yuanzu rice to solve the food problem of ordinary people, education, water conservancy, medical care, land reclamation, animal husbandry, fishing, iron smelting, winemaking, shipbuilding, etc. are all progressing steadily.

These matters are entirely left to secular officials.

The county governors and other officials of the seven counties are all abandoned children of cultivation families. They have inferior spiritual roots and all they seek is wealth and honor in the human world so that their descendants can continue to follow the path of immortality.

These are easy for Chen Xuan.

He did not take a penny of the wealth created by mortals, but reinvested it in the construction of the secular world.

Wolong Island is an island. The nearest Pingyang County is thousands of miles away from it. Not to mention ordinary people, even for Qigong cultivators, it is difficult to cross the sea and it is relatively isolated.

However, as long as there is profit, there will always be people who will come.

After Chen Xuan had established himself on Wolong Island, the monks from the three families who came with him kept asking if they could introduce some monks from poor families to live on Wolong Island.

More than that.

Among the three thousand monks on Wolong Island, many have relatives and friends living on other islands and in nearby counties and counties on the coast, and they all asked to move to Wolong Island to settle down.

the reason is simple.

It is easy to earn spirit stones here and the quality of life is guaranteed.

Yuan Zu's spiritual rice has increased the income of spiritual farmers, and the spiritual fishermen are like fish in water on the Wolong.

Even a cultivator with low-grade spiritual roots who has no special skills can work in a spiritual wine workshop and earn ten spiritual stones every month.

The magical rice and fish on Wolong Island are particularly cheap.

Ten spirit stones are enough for a family of three to have three meals a day, with a little left over.

Moreover, the public security on Wolong Island is particularly good.

The calamity cultivators are nowhere to be found, and the evil cultivators are extinct.

All the monks know each other well and have lived on the island for many years.

Even if there are some disputes, they dare not act rashly under the threat of the law enforcement team on the island.

Each member of the law enforcement team on Wolong Island is equipped with a red-eyed green bamboo snake, which is extremely poisonous and even those in the late stage of Qi training dare not touch it lightly.

Human nature has always been like this. People fear power rather than virtue.

the most important is.

There is hope for the future of their descendants.

Chen Xuan opened a free cultivation school in Longxing Villa to teach cultivation skills, which really shocked these cultivators.

In this era, all cultivation techniques are kept secret, and one must pay a high price to be qualified to practice them.

Even entry-level cultivation skills are not something that can be possessed by those casual cultivators who are so poor that they cannot even afford spiritual food.

Chen Xuan is sincere in running the school.

Retest your spiritual roots, all for free, lunch included.

As long as you have the slightest talent, the teachers will teach you carefully and you can at least become an apprentice.

In the future, I will always be able to eat something, and I won’t become a mortal due to lack of spiritual food.

Moreover, it is said that in the future, when any workshop is built on Wolong Island, priority will be given to recruiting students from private schools.

Not to mention, a small number of descendants of cultivators were detected to have mid-grade spiritual roots, and showed talent in certain aspects such as alchemy, weapons, talismans, arrays, and sword planting, and were treated like treasures by the whole family.

Bringing honor to our family depends entirely on this kid's success!
Never underestimate the desire of a casual cultivator to turn things around.

Chen Xuan could not ignore the wishes of the monks in his family and on the island to introduce their relatives and friends to settle here.

In particular, Yuanzu's spiritual rice was a great success, and the Wolong was converted into a fishing boat, which not only solved the problem of spiritual food for the monks on the island, but also created many jobs.

Chen Xuan asked Wang Fugui to take charge of this matter.

For monks who move to Wolong Island to settle down, they must be guaranteed by at least three monks on the island to ensure that their information is complete and accurate and that they will not violate the law on Wolong Island.

The final review stage was personally controlled by Chen Xuan and the psychic green snake.

The divine power of the Heavenly Eye can see through the evil spirit in the demon cultivators and the evil spirit in the robbery cultivators, and the psychic green snake can even sense the spiritual strength of the cultivators.

In this way, all the monks who moved to Wolong Island were good people.

The monks who passed the review and moved in were all overjoyed to be qualified to work as slaves for the Chen family.

Since Yuanzu spiritual rice tastes slightly worse and contains less spiritual energy than the inferior spiritual rice chalcedony rice, Chen Xuan simply used all the confiscated Yuanzu spiritual rice to brew spiritual wine.

Yuan Zu Lingjiu is only 70% of the price of Qingxing Liquor, and one spirit stone can buy seven kilograms.

Wolong Island has planted 7,000 mu of Yuanzu spiritual rice, with a yield of 800 kilograms per mu, and harvests more than 5 million kilograms of spiritual rice a year.

You definitely can’t finish it all.

Three million jin of Yuanzu spiritual rice can be used to brew one million jin of spiritual wine, which is a business that can earn an annual income of more than 100,000 spiritual stones.

Moreover, the per-acre yield of Yuanzuling rice is still increasing.

Chen Xuan cooperates with Tianfu Chamber of Commerce.

Tianfu Chamber of Commerce is responsible for providing Lingjiu brewing equipment and full underwriting.

Just from the spirit wine industry, Chen Xuan can earn 100,000 spirit stones a year.

And the spiritual wine is only the smallest item in Chen Xuan's plan.

After the modification, the Wolong can earn at least tens of thousands of spirit stones in profit from each trip out to sea.

And this is just a small fight.

The real layout has just begun.

Among the hundreds of arts of cultivation, alchemy, weapons, talismans, arrays, swords, plants, etc., alchemy ranks first.

In a sense, elixirs, like spirit stones, act as currency.

Cultivators in the Qi training stage have a strong demand for elixirs.

Today, Chen Xuan is a fourth-level cultivator of the Insect Thunder Sword Talisman. Alchemy requires a lot of time and energy, as well as practical experience in alchemy.

Chen Xuan has no plans to practice alchemy for the time being.

But it did not prevent him from earning a lot of spirit stones from alchemy.

It’s okay if it’s just a high-level elixir.

The medicinal materials are expensive, the steps are many, and the refining is difficult.

The two low-level elixirs, the Qi-nourishing Pill for the early stage of Qi training and the Essence-reinforcing Pill for the middle stage of Qi training, are in high demand and have stable prices.

"Giant furnace for refining elixirs?"

Looking at the blueprint of the one-stop alchemy workshop that Chen Xuan took out, Su Zhengming and Zhou Shiren looked at each other in surprise.

The two watched it over and over for a long time.

The giant furnace for alchemy that Chen Xuan gave was a real giant furnace.

A furnace, three zhang high and two zhang wide.

Put in a thousand portions of elixir materials at a time and you can make thousands of pills.

Chen Xuan had studied the art of alchemy and knew that the key to making a successful elixir lay in the coagulation state of the medicinal materials, the control of the temperature of the alchemy fire, and the timing of opening the furnace to make the elixir.

The ingredients and quantity of the medicinal materials are clearly recorded on the prescription. As long as the age is sufficient and the quality is up to standard, there is no need to worry too much and it is not difficult to combine them.

For ordinary cultivators, controlling the temperature of the alchemy furnace is not an easy task.

Chen Xuan’s plan was to engrave a temperature calculation array inside the furnace.

Referring to the temperature inside the furnace, you only need to add or reduce the intensity of the ground fire on time and adjust the ventilation volume of the furnace to stably control the temperature of the furnace.

As for the timing of opening the furnace to make the elixir, it sounds extremely mysterious. In fact, it mainly depends on the experience and spiritual awareness of the alchemist to judge.

Ordinary cultivators, if they do not have the talent for alchemy, will never try to make alchemy.

The key to whether the elixir can be successfully refined lies in the experience of the alchemist.

The more experience you have, the higher the chance of success.

Therefore, alchemy is the profession that requires the largest initial investment among the hundreds of arts of cultivation, and is also the most popular profession after success.

But Chen Xuan planned to take another approach.

An observation array is set up inside the alchemy furnace to directly observe the coagulation state of the medicinal liquid in the furnace.

Control the temperature in the furnace and let the fused medicinal liquid condense into a ball.

When the medicine liquid was about to reach the critical point, the fire was suddenly increased, the temperature in the furnace rose, and the medicine liquid condensed into a round solid under the external force.

Zhou Shiren glanced at Chen Xuan hesitantly and asked, "Master, have you ever tried this giant furnace alchemy method?"

"No."

Chen Xuan said frankly.

"I have called you two elders here to discuss this matter."

"I plan to make a smaller furnace a hundred times larger and conduct more experiments."

"Once we are fully confident, we can make a furnace of this size and use it to refine the elixir."

"Father-in-law, what do you think of this method?"

Su Zhengming pondered over it again and again.

"It should be possible. However, if we have to test it multiple times, I'm afraid the furnace will explode multiple times."

"It doesn't matter. We can just make it again after it explodes."

Chen Xuan could still afford to pay for the medicinal materials and furnace for the Qi-nourishing Pill.

The giant furnace for refining elixirs is only used to refine low-level elixirs.

Once the skills mature, they will gradually advance to mid-level or even high-level elixirs.

Once the technology matures, the profits will be huge and the value cannot be measured by just tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Chen Xuan always felt that there was something wrong with the development direction of Xuanyuan Continent.

They have been focusing on their personal cultivation realm, completely ignoring the development trends of industrialization and mechanization.

After all, the mainstream is still agricultural culture, where people live in clans, cultivate the land carefully, and are accustomed to a self-sufficient lifestyle.

From the upper-level sects, to the middle-level families, and then to the lower-level individual cultivators, all have formed a relatively closed living culture.

All the arts of cultivation are kept to themselves and closed, making it difficult to communicate and spread them.

Large-scale unity and cooperation are out of the question.

Refining elixir in a giant furnace is Chen Xuan's attempt to promote the industrialization of Wolong Island.

Of course, he was only responsible for providing the ideas.

The real implementation and practice still depends on the monks on Wolong Island.

Just like the modification of Wolong.

If he has to do everything himself, he will have no time and energy to practice.

As Chen Xuan continued to explain the principles of alchemy in the giant furnace, the surprise in Zhou Shiren and Su Zhengming's eyes grew more and more intense.

"I think we can give it a try."

"can."

Zhou Shiren and Su Zhengming expressed their opinions one after another.

The technology is not yet mature, so we can study it slowly.

As long as there is sufficient commercial benefit, there is no need to worry about the consumption of invested capital.

"Don't worry, you two will definitely succeed. This is a secret technique of the ancient immortal sect that has never been passed down."

In order to increase the confidence of the two, Chen Xuan brought out the ancient immortal sect.

Zhou Shiren and Su Zhengming knew that he had inherited the ancient immortal sect's legacy.

really.

Hearing this, Zhou Shiren and Su Zhengming's eyes brightened.

If there is a successful precedent, things will be much easier.

It's just a matter of experimenting a few more times.

After encouraging the two of them, Chen Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew it.

To gain a foothold and develop in this world of cultivation, one must not only rely on plug-ins such as the "Wordless Taoist Scripture", but also make full use of the vision and knowledge of the previous life.

Only by gaining control of people's hearts, cultivating an absolutely loyal force, and constantly collecting cultivation resources for him can he condense the golden elixir as soon as possible before the arrival of the infinite demonic calamity.
