I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 74 Hongli Alchemy (asking for monthly ticket)

"Isn't her mist monster the Lei Lan who is proficient in thunder magic? When did it become the Bing Lan?"

"That's normal. Storm Demons are special. They are naturally able to possess the four attributes of water, wind, thunder, and ice. Maybe they have already gathered all the attributes."

"Let me count, gentle rain, wind blades, falling thunder, and ice arrows, they're all here!"

"This cold air is not ordinary cold air. It is the same as the cold air in Hanpo Valley in Tiebei Mountain. It is not easy to deal with."

"She will definitely be the dark horse in this inner sect assessment!"

Hongli was lazily swinging its tail in the corner, and under the resonance of its soul, it also took on some of Jiang Yi's posture.

Seeing Jiang Yi was about to get up, Hongli quickly imitated Hua Gu's servile behavior and stretched out her tail to serve as a handrail for Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi stood up and waved. Hua Gu restrained all her coldness and flew back to Jiang Yi.

"Brother Wan, can we just end this duel today? I'm too lazy to continue. New Year's Eve is only a month away, and after that we all have to take the inner sect assessment. There's no need to fight to the death. It would be bad if we were to suffer hidden injuries and miss out on important things."

Wan Jinghao stood up with the help of his frost-covered right shoulder. The cold fog surrounding Binglan was like an all-round defense field. Spells and demons with insufficient power would be frozen once they approached, and would not be able to hurt the core of the demon at all.

Jiang Yi was right. The inner sect assessment was the big deal. To make up for the shortfall of 500 contribution points, he should complete a few more sect missions. Although it would be time-consuming and laborious, it was safer.

Wan Jinghao raised his arm stiffly and bowed, saying, "I am sorry to bother you today. Thank you, Junior Sister, for showing mercy."

"Hua Gu."

Jiang Yi called out softly, and Hua Gu understood. She flew in front of Wan Jinghao and absorbed all the remaining power of the ice arrow.

Immediately afterwards, pieces of green bamboo leaves fluttered down, the wound on Wan Jinghao's shoulder healed quickly, his whole body felt comfortable, and an irresistible feeling of sleepiness came over him.

Is this Jiang Yi’s poisonous healing technique?
It’s really good~~~~poison!
Wan Jinghao yawned, his eyelids heavier than the stone locks he usually held. He quickly pinched the inside of his arm, shook his head to stay awake, collected the two demon spirits and said goodbye. He must hold on until he returned to the house and must not fall asleep on the road!
"Come back, Huagu."

Jiang Yi also put Hua Gu back into the demon bag. When he turned around, he happened to see a familiar figure behind the crowd. Wasn't it Jiang Tianzong?

Jiang Yi smiled, and Jiang Tianzong's face turned pale. He stepped back in fear, avoiding his gaze, and turned around to crawl away.

clang!
The sudden sound of the gong startled Jiang Yi again. Hong Li was so frightened that her fur stood on end. With one claw, she slapped the broken gong in Luo Jun's hand and it flew away. The gong melted into molten copper in mid-air.

"Brother Luo, if you keep beating the gong like that, you'll get beaten sooner or later. I'd like to buy some demon seeds. Could you please help me?"

Luo Jun looked down at his empty hands and found that the disciples around him were trying to hold back their laughter, so he angrily drove them away.

"Come on, come on, what are you looking at? Follow me."

Jiang Yi followed Luo Jun to the martial arts arena hall. After exchanging things, he rode Hongli back.

……

In the disciple courtyard, Jiang Yi had slept for seven or eight days and was not sleepy for the time being. Hua Gu and Hong Li were also full of energy.

grumble!
The shrunken Hongli stood on the table, raised her paw to hold Jiang Yi's hand, her eyes watery and full of desire.

Jiang Yi smiled, "Wait for me in the study. I'll arrange some things for Hua Gu and then come back to teach you how to make pills."

嘤~
Hongli jumped for joy, immediately walked around the antique display case, and squatted at the long table in the study, waiting.

Jiang Yi brought Hua Gu to the bedside, lifted the quilt and took out the big bag of small snow demon seeds, and then took out the bean paste she bought specially from the canteen from the storage bag.

Jiang Yi leaned close to Hua Gu and whispered, "We can't discourage Hongli's enthusiasm for refining the elixir, so don't tell her that these demon seeds can be eaten directly for now. I can't keep feeding her stinky mud. Use this bean paste to wrap these demon seeds in it. You can put five, six, seven, or eight demon seeds in one pill."

As he spoke, Jiang Yi pinched off a ball of bean paste, wrapped the intermediate-level Phantom Escape demon seed in it and rolled it into a ball.

Huagu is a talent of the tribe. She can transform between real and fake. This feature is very useful in battle.

Hongli is quite agile, but in combat, especially when battling a group of monkeys in the cedar forest, its speed is clearly insufficient.

The entry-level Phantom Escape can accelerate its body transformation. If used skillfully, it will definitely allow its overall strength to be better utilized.

"There are some remaining Water Arrow Frog monsters here. If you can eat them, take your time. If you can't, don't force yourself. When you enter the Taixuan Secret Realm in the future, the first thing I will do is find the 'Moon Soul Cold Spring' mentioned in the Xuanhui Monster Master's jade slip to help you advance to the Yellow Level."

Hua Gu happily rubbed Jiang Yi and immediately started working. Jiang Yi took the alchemy furnace, alchemy tools and materials to find Hong Li. As soon as Hong Li saw the second-grade alchemy furnace, she jumped in and insisted on squatting inside to listen to Jiang Yi explain the alchemy method to her.

In order to solve the problem once and for all, Jiang Yi flipped through the book very patiently, explaining to Hong Li in detail how to use the alchemy tools, the recipes for the Shilingdan and Chenglingdan and the required spiritual herbs, as well as the temperature of the fire, etc.

Also take it with you to feel the difference and impact of different fire temperatures.

"I originally wanted you to refine the Dust-Suppressing Pill first, but after you devoured the Hundred Beasts Spirit Fire, the impurities in your body were refined along the way, saving you the trouble of eliminating the poison in the pill. Xiao Hongli, don't take low-grade Soul-Nourishing Pills anymore. You must refine the best quality yourself. Only the best quality can be taken without poison."

grumble!
Hongli nodded vigorously, her eyes full of fighting spirit.

Jiang Yi placed the monster seeds she bought at the counter in the martial arts arena on the table. Eleven of them were very common fire-faced raccoon monster seeds, which contained two fire spells: Fire Claw and Fire Bomb.

A twenty-level low-grade spirit stone is cheaper than what is sold outside. This is the best choice for most alchemists when learning to refine the Chengling Pill.

The remaining forty are thorn vine monster seeds in the middle stage of Qi training. Each one costs only five low-grade spirit stones and can be used to practice refining wood-type spirit-feeding pills.

Now she only had ten low-grade spirit stones left. She spent one on buying bean paste and four on buying raw meat for Hong Li.

"...I've explained the alchemy process and the precise timing for each step. The book is right here. Try refining a Wood-type Soul-Nourishing Pill using the Wood Thorn Monster Seed first."

Hongli squatted on the table, thinking and digesting what Jiang Yi said, and then smelled each spiritual medicine in turn. After it was ready, it raised its claws in the air, and a flame pattern immediately appeared on the side of the alchemy furnace.

The golden-red light on the flame pattern gradually intensified, and the furnace heated up rapidly.

Jiang Yi looked at this scene in surprise, wondering if this was the effect of the Mastery-level Fire Seal and the Beast Spirit Fire?
The furnace heats up very quickly, and the efficiency of dissolving medicinal materials must be very high. It can remove impurities in the medicine faster and better, leaving only the essence.

In addition, the entry-level fire seal could only leave a mark to locate the fire chain before, but now Hongli can use the fire seal to accurately sense the temperature of the alchemy furnace and independently control the intensity of the burning effect brought by the fire seal.

Moreover, the entry-level fire seal must be imprinted through contact, while the mastery level can imprint through the air, which is more useful in battle.

I just don't know what the upper limit of the number of fire seals is now?
If they meet that group of snow macaques again now, Hongli can stand there and mark them all with fire, and then use a fire chain with the aura of the spiritual fire of all beasts. Wouldn't it be possible to take them all away in one go?
That scene is quite exciting to think about.

Jiang Yi supported his head and was daydreaming, but Hong Li was very focused. Her small black claws were flexible and sharp. She processed the herbs according to the diagrams in the book, weighed them exactly, and refined them strictly according to the steps written in the book.

It had practiced these before when it was learning to cook with Shen Puning, and also learned some little tricks from Shen Puning. It was not difficult for it at all.

Jiang Yi was originally worried that Hongli's little brain could not fully understand every step of alchemy, but he didn't expect that it was extremely smart and indeed had the style of the ancient fox clan as described in the book.

It is said that the fox tribe in ancient times could easily make humans into fools.

The first-grade Soul-Feeding Pill is very easy to refine, especially when the monster species used are of low level, so it doesn't take long.

Jiang Yi had only been reading the jade slip given by Demon Master Xuanhui for half an hour when Hongli had already refined the first furnace.

The lid of the alchemy furnace was opened and a fragrant aroma of elixir wafted out.

Become!

The man and the fox put their heads close together and saw five round, steaming green pills lying in the furnace, and next to them were five charred, cracked, and unrefined waste pills.

When refining the elixir, ten pills are put into the furnace at one time. If nine of them are successful, the elixir is fully made.

Only when nine pills are fully made can six medium-grade pills be produced. Among these six medium-grade pills, at most three can be high-grade. This is the ultimate level of an alchemist.

In the entire Beixuan cultivation world, there are less than a handful of alchemists who can reach this level. Even if an alchemist has reached the foundation-building stage, it is impossible to guarantee that the elixir he makes will be of high quality every time when he makes elixirs for Qi-cultivating cultivators.

"Strictly speaking, this is your first time refining an elixir independently, and you've actually managed to successfully refine five low-grade Soul-Nourishing Pills. Hongli, you're an alchemy genius!"

Jiang Yi praised her warmly, but Hong Li was not Hua Gu and did not fall for it.

Its ears and tail drooped, and its green eyes were full of loss, sadness and confusion.

What went wrong that it could only refine five low-grade ones?

Why not a full nine? Why no top quality?
Is it because it's not proficient in controlling the fire yet? No, it has already completed the cooking stage perfectly. Fox Fox is not convinced!
I won’t give up until you get the best product tonight!

Come again! !
