She felt that her mind was not on the alchemy furnace, yet it seemed as if all of her attention was focused on the alchemy furnace.
Lin Qingyao felt her own spiritual energy, slowly outputting it, in the fire well, tempering the flames within the fire well, providing a steady supply to the slowly rotating dan furnace.
The fragrance wafted over, and Lin Qingyao's body stiffened slightly.
Lin Qingyao knew that this was not the time to be happy, as alchemy was a matter of one step, and if it failed, it would be a great loss. The elixir had not yet taken shape, and this was the most critical moment.
Lin Qingyao covered the cauldron with a thin layer of spiritual energy, this time she didn't completely seal the cauldron. If it was really sealed, it would be easy to make the elixir's energy go out of control and end up like last time, turning into a pile of burnt medicinal residue.
Lin Qingyao tried her best to make her breathing even and keep the spiritual energy she output at a balanced level.
Later on, time seemed to have solidified, but Lin Qingyao was completely unaware of it. It was as if she wasn't the one refining the elixir herself, yet every move and every hand gesture came from her hands, clear and distinct.
Suddenly, Lin Qingyao used her spiritual power to seal the entire fire well, preventing the flames below from surging up again. A spiritual incantation struck the alchemy furnace, causing it to spin rapidly.
This step is called converging energy, and if nothing unexpected happens, the nourishing energy pill in the alchemical furnace should have taken shape by now. At this time, you need to converge the energy of the pill in the furnace bit by bit into the medicinal pill itself!
This determines the quality of the wine.
Dan medicine has three grades: top, middle and bottom. The quality is different, the efficacy is naturally different. When sold in the market, the price is also vastly different.
Low-grade elixirs not only contain elixir poison, but also have little medicinal power. In general, except for some scattered cultivators without spiritual stones, no one will buy low-grade elixirs.
Especially the nourishing Qi Dan, this is a basic elixir used for cultivation. If cultivators use low-grade elixirs for years to cultivate, it's no different from drinking poison to quench thirst!
So, if Lin Qingyao refines a low-grade elixir, she will definitely not take it herself, and of course, she won't let Song Hezi and Xiao Xiang take it either!
She wants long-term growth and development, rather than a temporary improvement in her cultivation.
When it was time to receive the Dan, Lin Qingyao became much more solemn. She took out a jade bottle and then joined her hands together, pushing forward a stream of spiritual light that popped off the lid of the dan furnace. The remaining dan energy inside shot out the dan medicine.
It's time to catch Dan!
Lin Qingyao's spiritual power formed a spiritual net in the air, scooping up all the elixirs and storing them in the jade bottle.
There was one pill left, Lin Qingyao didn't put it away, but pinched it in her hand.
This bright yellow pill, with its light inwardly gathered, was quietly pinched between her two white jade-like fingers.
Lin Qingyao observed for a moment, with a hint of joy on her face. This was a mid-grade elixir! Although it couldn't compare to high-grade elixirs, it could still be used for cultivation! Currently in the Cultivation Realm, the commonly used elixir for cultivation was precisely this Nourishing Qi Elixir.
Lin Qingyao counted them and found a total of six successful elixirs.
It is said that this furnace can produce 12 elixir pills, but now only five have been produced. This makes Lin Qingyao a little disappointed. A success rate of 50% in one furnace is not something to be excited about.
In an instant, Lin Qingyao's mood lifted.
No matter what, proving that her own alchemy method is feasible is enough! Next, she only hopes that each furnace of elixir can be successfully refined into a dan, and then each furnace can produce six dan!
She has a lot of raw materials on hand and won't run out! Even if her success rate is low, she's not afraid!
After figuring it out, Lin Qingyao's mood was very clear and bright.
Lin Qingyao did not continue to refine the elixir but instead sat in meditation for a while.
Sleepless and tireless in her alchemy practice, her body was already exhausted, not to mention her physical form, even her spirit was extremely fatigued. After all, alchemy wasn't just about outputting spiritual energy, but also required control of the soul.
Lin Qingyao hadn't realized her exhaustion before because she had been holding back a breath in her heart, and even if she couldn't take out the medicinal pills, she gritted her teeth and didn't rest.
Now that the Dan medicine has been refined, she let out a long sigh of relief, and the fatigue also came with it.
Lin Qingyao sat quietly for a day and night, feeling that her physical condition had improved somewhat, and then she continued to refine the elixir.
Six Qi Nourishing Pills are just a drop in the bucket. If you want to rely on pills to quickly improve your cultivation, then every month, at least five Qi Nourishing Pills are needed. In a year, at least sixty or seventy pills would be required.
Lin Qingyao didn't want to go back, and it wouldn't be long before she had to come over again to refine the elixir. She might as well prepare and refine a few more in one breath.
It's not just her, but also Song Hezi and Xiao Xiang. Xiao Xiang is younger and has a lower cultivation level, so she only needs half the amount of elixirs for a year, which is thirty pills. Adding up the three people, Lin Qingyao calculated that they need to refine one hundred and fifty elixir pills.
Apart from this, Lin Qingyao also planned to refine more. She didn't have any spiritual stones on her body, but these Nourishing Qi Pills could be considered as spiritual stones to a certain extent.
Although refining Dan medicine is more troublesome than directly buying spiritual grass, the risk of selling spiritual Dan is much smaller than that of selling spiritual grass!
Ling Dan can be explained as something passed down through generations, but Ling Cao, apart from the main sect, where else can you find so many Ling Cao?
Fortunately, the Nourishing Qi Pill was only a low-grade spiritual pill, and the time it took to refine it was not long. Lin Qingyao could fire up the furnace three times a day at this speed, and after adding in the time spent on failed attempts, she finally managed to refine two hundred Nourishing Qi Pills.
The jade bottle bought from the street market is almost used up.
Lin Qingyao also wanted to refine another elixir that was currently in great need, the Bu Yuan Dan, but unfortunately, she had not yet gathered all the necessary materials for refining it, so she could only give up.
Lin Qingyao had adapted to the environment filled with violent and tyrannical fire spirit energy after refining the elixir.
Lin Qingyao began her cultivation on the spot.
Until she vaguely felt that she had touched the barrier of the sixth layer of Qi training and couldn't go any further, she stopped. Lin Qingyao knew that sometimes cultivation needed opportunities.
She has everything ready and is just waiting for the opportunity to come, then naturally, her cultivation will rise.
Lin Qingyao stood up straight and retrieved the golden light flashing dan furnace back.
After many days of getting along, Lin Qingyao looked at this golden light flashing dan furnace, and it had become much more pleasing to the eye, and even had a subtle feeling. Things that have been used for a long time will always have some feelings.
Lin Qingyao smiled: "Can't call you Jindeng, since you're so common now, I have to give you a nice name."
"Let's just call you Red Fire then." Lin Qingyao muttered to herself before putting away the dan furnace that was now named Red Fire.
Lin Qingyao cleared away the pile of dregs and waste elixirs that resembled a small mountain, disposing of them all in the magma. She didn't want anyone to see the products she had manufactured, lest someone would harbor suspicions later on.
As soon as the waste entered the magma, a huge flame suddenly burst out.
What a coincidence! Just at this moment, the mountain suddenly shook violently.
Lin Qingyao was fine, but she fell into the magma.
Time was running out, but at that moment, Lin Qingyao took out the water attribute Yao Dan as she was enveloped in flames. With a surge of spiritual energy, the Yao Dan formed a pale blue protective shield, completely encasing Lin Qingyao inside.
The magma surged, and the pale blue protective cover instantly dissolved by half.
Lin Qingyao hastily raised her spiritual energy and leaped up, attempting to jump out of the molten lava.
But it was unknown what happened. In the magma, there seemed to be some kind of strange power that grasped Lin Qingyao's foot and wanted to pull her down.
Lin Qingyao didn't have time to think about much else, took out her last explosive talisman and threw it into the magma!
A loud crash!
Lin Qingyao felt her feet relax, and without hesitation, she jumped up.
Lin Qingyao's two feet occasionally landed on both sides of the cliff wall and quickly jumped up.
When she reached the middle of the air, Lin Qingyao turned her head to take a look. In the flames, it seemed as if a tentacle was stretched out, wanting to roll her up, but in the end, it sank down again.
Lin Qingyao broke out in a cold sweat, and from then on, she didn't dare to hesitate anymore. With both feet stepping forward, when the time came, she directly summoned the Fu Yao sword, stepped on it, and charged straight up!
Only after Lin Qingyao managed to flip over and get out from between the ground did she finally let out a sigh of relief.
Although she didn't know what was in the magma, something that could bind a cultivator, something that could survive in the fire pulse, how could it be an ordinary thing?
Fortunately, this thing seemed to be not very interested in the world on the ground, otherwise... if it chased after her, Lin Qingyao knew that she would definitely not be able to escape! She didn't dare to imagine the consequences.
Lin Qingyao's soul was still unsettled as she glanced at the crack in the ground and took a few steps back.
Only then did he notice the situation in front of him.
Only four monks were seen surrounding him.
These four monks, three men and one woman, are now staring at Lin Qingyao with a tiger's gaze.
Song Lao and Xiao Xiang rushed over from the side and blocked Lin Qingyao's way.
Song Lao said in a deep voice: "Fellow Taoists, I've said it before, there's someone here who is in seclusion. Now that we've waited for this person, we won't keep them company any longer. Farewell!"
"Heh heh, are you guys just going to leave like this?" The female cultivator chuckled and asked.
Lin Qingyao's heart had just calmed down, but now it was raised again at this moment.
She gazed at the four monks in front of her.
Among them, the female cultivator had a cultivation base of Qi Refining Eighth Layer, which was on par with Old Song. The remaining three male cultivators were one at Qi Refining Seventh Layer and two at Qi Refining Sixth Layer. Their cultivation bases weren't high, but compared to their own side, they held an absolute advantage.
Xiao Xiang has not yet reached the sixth level of Qi Gong, and not only can't participate in the battle, but also needs to be protected. No matter how you look at it, if they really fight, they will all end up on the losing side!
