Chapter 134 The First Blood Qi Pill

As night fell, bonfires lit up the largest open space in the Xishi tribe, resembling a grand open-air workshop gathering.

The area marked out by Dog Bro was already packed with players.

Dozens of bonfires blazed fiercely, their flames licking at the rough pottery jars placed on top, from which white steam billowed out from the mouths.

The aroma of stream water and roasted grains wafted in the night breeze, creating a unique and alluring scent.

The players gathered in small groups, some sitting on the ground with simple stone mortars and wooden pestles in front of them, diligently crushing the rice husks distributed by Brother Dog.

Yes, Dog Bro didn't even separate the polished rice.

The method for refining Blood Qi Pills is described in great detail. The raw material is actually rice husks, not edible refined rice.

Remove the rice husks, grind them into powder, and mix with water.

The resulting rice husk dough can serve as a "container".

This is the simplest and easiest-to-obtain material for carrying blood and qi.

Players can successfully refine a Blood Qi Pill by following the techniques provided in the Blood Qi Pill refining method and transferring the generated blood qi into this "container" to ensure that it contains a certain amount of blood qi.

This is not actually a traditional Blood Qi Pill, because Blood Qi Pills made in this way have a questionable shelf life.

As time goes by, the blood and qi within the elixir will gradually dissipate.

However, it's certainly enough as a stopgap measure.

Dog Brother carefully guarded the pottery jar, his eyes focused as if he were performing a precise surgical operation, afraid that the slightest mistake in controlling the heat would ruin the precious material.

He hadn't done the exact calculations, but based on his experience husking rice over this period, the average yield of this type of polished rice in the game was over 80%.

In other words, at most 20 kilograms of rice husks can be removed from 100 kilograms of rice.

The outer shell of the Blood Qi Pill, made by grinding rice husks into powder, can only produce a maximum of six or seven shells from one pound of rice husks, no matter how carefully it is calculated.

Based on the first batch of shipments from Dongdong Grain Shop, and without wasting any raw materials, they could only produce less than four hundred Blood Qi Pill shells at most.

Although Dog Brother and his old buddies devoured the entire batch, they clearly couldn't bear to waste a single can.

"Oh no! It's burnt!" Ba Tiaoxiang suddenly cried out, frantically lifting the earthenware pot, and a thick plume of black smoke billowed out.

He had originally planned to take a shortcut, but he accidentally overcooked it, and the bottom layer was burnt.

"What did I tell you? You have to use a low flame." The old man next to him shook his head calmly, but his hands were not idle. He was using a sharpened wooden stick to gently stir the "thick rice husk soup" in the pot.

Upon hearing this commotion, Dog Brother's face darkened, but he held back and said nothing.

The main reason is that the other party is his old friend, and besides, this kind of thing has happened before.

Everyone was a novice when it came to refining Blood Qi Pills, and wasting raw materials was a common occurrence.

This forced him to set performance targets for his slave factories, and the cost of wasted materials had to be deducted from his wages.

It can only be said that where there are KPIs, there will inevitably be a "king of rolls" (a term referring to someone who is overly ambitious or prone to making money).

A player with the game ID "Congcheng" has completed the initial brewing process and is now entering the crucial "condensation" stage.

He poured the boiled rice husk paste into small grooves carved from hardwood, then held his breath and concentrated, using his fingertips to dip a little stream water to slowly rub out a spoon shape, and finally, based on this shape, slowly rolled it into a complete pill.

This circle isn't quite perfect, and its appearance is a bit lacking, but it's good enough.

Onion Orange stood up proudly: "It's done!"

A pale yellow pill, about the size of a pigeon egg and with a slightly rough surface, sat quietly in the groove in front of him.

"Holy crap! It really worked!" Dog Bro was so excited he almost jumped up, looking at the "ugly pill" in the groove as if it were some rare treasure: "I'm not lying, the first person to make it will get a reward. Onion Orange Bro, send me your account number, and I'll transfer the money right away."

The surrounding players cast envious glances, and some couldn't resist crowding around, wanting to touch the "successful item."

O

"Don't press it down, it hasn't solidified yet." Onion Orange said with a joyful expression, carefully protecting the groove in her arms.

With the creation of the first Blood Qi Pill shell, the atmosphere at the refining site became even more intense.

The cries of defeat and the cheers of victory rose and fell, and the light and shadow of the campfire danced on the players' excited or frustrated faces.

The entire open space seemed to have transformed into a massive, vibrant production line for Blood Qi Pills, with each player being a highly active cog in this machine.

Peng Zhi was just watching the fun from the sidelines, but seeing this scene, he got a little itchy to try it himself. He asked Brother Gou for some scraps and tried to make it himself.

Ten minutes later, Peng Zhi looked at the several Blood Qi Pill shells in front of him, raised an eyebrow, then looked at the center of the open space and shouted, "Brother Gou, if I only help with shaping, will you pay me?"

Having mastered the "Martial Arts Body Forging Techniques," he found it entirely easy to shape these "rice husk dough" by utilizing gravity within a small area.

The reason he's so clueless about the "springtime scenery" on campus is because he hasn't grasped the concept. Otherwise, with a little practice, he could easily do it too.

Dog Brother turned his head and glanced at the several Blood Qi Pill shells in front of Peng Zhi. He immediately beamed with joy: "That's great!"

After a busy night.

As the sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn, the first Blood Qi Pill, once fully refined, was finally "successfully produced."

Dog Brother solemnly accepted the Blood Qi Pill handed to him by Onion Orange, silently feeling its warmth.

No matter which player it is, as long as they complete the most basic upgrade, they can refine Blood Qi Pills.

After all, the outer shell of the Blood Qi Pill is just a carrier; the real core is the blood qi nurtured by the players.

Therefore, the efficiency of refining Blood Qi Pills depends more on the player's cultivation speed.

However, strictly speaking, the players' cultivation talents are all roughly equal; it's not that whoever has a higher level will refine faster.

Even after a whole night, Dog Bro was still full of energy.

Without lingering, he sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to absorb the blood energy from the Blood Energy Pill.

No one around him disturbed him; they all watched quietly.

Less than a minute later, Brother Dog opened his eyes, and the Blood Qi Pill in his palm had shattered.

"Cool!"

This is the kind of gaming experience that paying players should have!

Dog Bro's eyes were burning with desire.

The blood and qi provided by the Blood Qi Pill are absorbed quite smoothly.

If we had to draw an analogy, it would be roughly equivalent to absorbing the blood essence emanating from the remains of monsters, but skipping the refining step.

If he had a hundred Blood Qi Pills in front of him right now, he could immediately jump to the top of the rankings.
