Chapter 121 Three Years Later, I Am Back Again!
The redistributed elixir liquid, four of top quality, two of medium quality, nine of low quality, the rest turned into burnt and useless pills that cannot be taken.
"Condensate!"
Sensing that it was almost done, Shen Lian blew his mouth, and the red fish flames surrounding the elixir furnace suddenly rose up, and the scorching flames quickly condensed the liquid in the furnace.
The rule of the alchemy world is that if the elixir is bad, there will be no compensation.
There will be rewards for good elixir, and the remaining herbs will be given to the alchemist.
This time, the elder of the Xu family asked him to refine the elixir, and a total of two batches of medicinal materials were prepared, and the cost alone was worth 10,000 spirit stones.
As a conscientious alchemist, Shen Lian just wanted to be unscrupulous and order 5,000 low-quality spirit stones of medicinal materials.
Sensing the condensation of the elixir in the elixir furnace, he nodded with satisfaction.
The four top-quality pills were kept by himself.
The two medium-quality pills and the nine low-quality pills were given to the Xu family.
There were ten burnt inferior pills left, which he showed to the Xu family. He did not waste the herbs sent by him. He opened the furnace twice and condensed a total of twenty-one pills, and used both sets of herbs.
Shen Lian asked himself if he had a good conscience.
With these eleven pills, the two sets of herbs brought by the Xu family not only did not lose money, but also made money.
Putting the pills into the jade bottle, Shen Lian glanced at the pills in the bottle and poured out another inferior quality pill.
Ordinary Qi-replenishing Three Treasures Pills are worth about 1,200 spirit stones, but the number of such pills flowing out in the market and the fairy city is very small, and even if you have spirit stones, you may not be able to collect eleven at once.
Besides, according to the market circulation price, ten thousand spirit stones can't buy eleven Qi-replenishing Three Treasures Pills, let alone two medium-quality ones.
"Alas."
Then, he sighed again, put the inferior quality pill back, and took out a medium-quality pill and put it away.
Two portions of medicinal materials, two furnaces, twenty pills, ten pills, one medium, nine poor, and ten waste pills.
After collecting the pills, Shen Lian did not leave the cave in a hurry. He waited for another day before opening the cave to invite the three Xu family members in.
Xu Chaoling brought two family members and was swept by the heat wave as soon as he entered the cave.
"Lu Danshi."
Xu Chaoling looked at Shen Lian with a tired face and bowed.
"Xu Daoyou, this is the Qi-boosting Sanbao Pill."
After Shen Lian asked the people to sit down, he took out three jade bottles and placed them in front of Xu Chaoling.
"Please."
Xu Chaoling glanced at the three jade bottles, and did not use his mind to look at them, but picked them up one by one to check.
"Lu Danshi's skills are superb, and he really gave me a big surprise."
After checking the pills, Xu Chaoling couldn't help but smile.
One medium quality, nine low quality.
The success rate was higher than he had imagined. He had expected that seven or eight pills would be enough.
Unexpectedly, not only did the number reach ten, but there was also one of medium quality.
The last time he asked the Xuanshi Sect's alchemist, he only succeeded in making eight pills, none of which were of medium quality.
Master Lu is particular.
Not only did he give the finished pills, but he also gave the waste pills after refining.
He clearly told the pill seekers that alchemy is not fake.
Gao Yi.
"Master Lu, this is the reward for alchemy."
Xu Chaoling put away the pills with a wave of his hand, and took out a jade box from the storage magic tool and handed it to Shen Lian.
Shen Lian did not open it, and put the jade box on the table.
He fully demonstrated the style of a Gao Yi alchemist.
"I'll bother you again in the future. I hope Master Lu won't find it annoying."
"Of course not."
Shen Lian smiled and responded, "If you need to refine pills in the future, feel free to contact me. If you have friends who refine pills, you can also communicate with them."
After a brief greeting, Xu Chaoling led his clan members out of the cave.
"Grand Elder, why did you send away the three-leaf water Ganoderma? It's worth five thousand spirit stones."
The Xu family left the city and summoned a spirit boat to rush into the ocean. Only then did the Xu family cultivator dare to ask in a low voice.
...
After sending the people away, Shen Lian returned to the cave calmly and reopened the formation.
In the cave, the Five Elements Spirit Puppet had already drilled out from the ground and opened the jade box to check it.
In the jade box, there was nothing, just a water Ganoderma with a blue spiritual light, with three complete leaves, and the medicinal power was about three hundred years old. According to the grade, it was considered a second-grade medium-grade product, and the price was five or six thousand spirit stones.
The elder of the Xu family is also a particular person.
This is the first time to help someone refine pills.
It took a day and a half, and the net profit was nearly 10,000 spiritual stones of medicinal materials, plus the four high-quality and one medium-quality pills that he embezzled, the selling price can be at least 7,000 spiritual stones.
This is just a bird feather happy pill.
Isn't it better to be a serious alchemist.
Ten Qi-replenishing Three Treasures Pills can be regarded as Shen Lian's signature.
In the circle that Qian Dai has won over, with the elder of the Xu family as an example, Shen Lian received a new order in just half a month.
This time it was the Zhao family of Ziya Island, and the one who came was Zhao Siyun, who hunted monsters with Shen Lian last time.
The Zhao family wanted to refine the Gathering Spirit Pill for cultivation, and brought a total of five materials, and Shen Lian embezzled two materials.
With the remaining three materials and three pieces of spiritual potatoes, the furnace was opened three times in total, and a total of 47 Gathering Spirit Pills were refined, and 38 pills were completed.
Nine burnt and waste pills.
He kept nine of the best quality pills for himself.
Four of the medium quality pills, twenty-five of the inferior quality pills, and twenty-nine of them were delivered to the person who asked for the pills.
The second time he made pills for someone, Shen Lian also realized the shortcomings of the first time.
To refine this kind of commonly used elixir, the total price of the number of finished elixirs must be greater than the price of the medicinal materials.
Otherwise, why would people ask him to refine it? They can just use the spirit stones to buy the finished elixirs.
Not to mention, if the refining is good, people will pay you.
If asking someone to refine the elixir is more profitable than buying it directly, why bother?
If the cost cannot be recovered, who can be willing to pay? They will definitely not come to you to refine the elixir next time.
In addition, a few medium-quality ones must be mixed in.
This is a gimmick. People who ask him to refine the elixir are not rushing for this.
For example, the total price of the number of finished elixirs of the Zhao family this time is nearly 3,000 spirit stones higher than the cost of materials.
Before leaving, Zhao Siyun left 2,000 spirit stones as a reward.
What Shen Lian didn't expect was that Zhao Siyun came again a month later.
This time he took out ten sets of materials for the Gathering Spirit Pill.
He thought about it and understood that the Zhao family was not honest and used him as an experience brush.
Maybe the more than 20 inferior quality Soul Gathering Pills he refined last time were sold by him, and he kept them here to make medium quality pills.
Shen Lian sensed Zhao Siyun's thoughts, but he didn't show it, and he stole six materials on the spot.
Isn't that shameless?
Who can be more shameless than him.
After refining the Soul Gathering Pill for Zhao Siyun, Shen Lian went straight to Qian Dai.
If you want to cooperate, you have to find a cultivator with strong strength and strong backing. Zhao Siyun is nothing.
After refining the pills three times, Shen Lian found that it was not much faster than collecting medicinal materials by himself.
...
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, three years later.
Yuanyan Immortal City.
In the blessed cave.
"Is Master Lu here? I am Qian Mingzhang, the manager of Fenglei Pavilion, and I am here to give Master Lu a spiritual object."
Amidst the clouds and mist, the formation of the cave was opened, and Qian Mingzhang walked into the cave with a wooden box in his hand.
"Master Lu."
"Manager Qian, long time no see."
"I am a busy man, how can Master Lu be leisurely and at ease."
Qian Mingzhang put down the wooden box, "Master Lu, this is what you need."
After Shen Lian opened it, he saw the stones inside. There were traces of faint lines on each piece. They were the Xuanming stones that could be used to refine instruments and set up formations.
The deeper he cooperated with Qian Dai, the more he felt that Qian Dai was unfathomable and could get any spiritual object.
Since the first time he started to refine the elixir, Shen Lian has been in Yuanyan Immortal City for more than three years.
But not many people know his name.
The people who came to him to refine the elixir were all foundation-building cultivators and families in the network of relationships that Qian Dai had won over.
Most of the pills refined were Juling Pill, Zhenyuan Pill, and Huiyuan Pill.
It was only later that Shen Lian figured out that after these family cultivators took the medium-quality Juling Pill back home, they would not take it during normal cultivation, but only took it out when they were about to break through.
This made him a little embarrassed.
So after opening the furnace again and again, Master Lu's alchemy skills improved.
The number of medium-quality pills refined in each furnace has increased from one or two to three, sometimes four.
Of course, when the pills are produced, the lower-quality pills will sometimes be one or two less.
After Qian Mingzhang left his things, he left without staying too long.
Shen Lian checked the Xuanming Stone and put it away.
In addition to obtaining some spiritual objects through Qian Dai's relationship, he would change his appearance and aura every month, buy spiritual objects in Yuanyan Immortal City, or participate in auctions.
With the generous support of the foundation-building families and cultivators in the nearby sea area, as well as the transaction with Qian Dai, Shen Lian accumulated more than 100,000 spiritual stones in addition to purchasing spiritual objects.
He also kept more than 300,000 spiritual stones of medicinal materials against his conscience. In general, he withheld about half of the medicinal materials.
Of course, there have been problems in the past three years.
For example, he directed and acted in the furnace explosion and other accidents, which also occurred twice.
Slowly walking to the spirit beast room in the cave, a spirit water pool stood in the center of the spirit beast room. There was a black spiritual light flashing outside the pool, and the five-color spiritual patterns could be seen faintly in the spiritual light.
As a beastmaster, alchemist, array master, and talisman master, the five-color spiritual light array in front of him, which was flashing black and overflowing with five colors, plus the pool in the array, was the culmination of Shen Lian's work.
In the pool, Sanqian was sleeping, covered by black water, and a demon pill covered with tiny holes was suspended on Sanqian's head.
The violent aura in the demon pill was more than half weaker than that of a normal demon pill.
In order to help Sanqian advance, Shen Lian used his perception points to upgrade his beast control inheritance to the second-level lower grade, and arranged a suitable path for Sanqian to advance.
In the pool, there was a beast spirit medicine powder that stimulated the dragon bloodline, which cost more than 10,000 spirit stones to complete.
In addition, a spirit gathering array was built outside the pool, allowing Sanqian to absorb spiritual power and demon power to the maximum extent.
Not to mention, there was also a second-level initial demon pill.
The lifespan of demon beasts is much longer than that of humans, and the corresponding larval period of demon beasts is also several times that of humans. In order to better absorb the medicinal power, Sanqian fell into a deep sleep, so as to digest the medicinal power faster and shorten the time of advancement.
This sleeping training method is almost unique to the demon race, and other races cannot learn it.
Why some demon beasts can quickly pass their infancy after being subdued by humans as spirit beasts is to rely on taking various spiritual medicines and sleeping.
Shen Lian was not in a hurry to let Sanqian advance quickly. The energy in this demon pill was mainly used to awaken Sanqian's bloodline.
"Master, when will Sanqian advance?"
Seeing that his little brother was about to advance, Dahei felt a little uncomfortable. Every day, except for going out to guard, he would go back to the spirit beast room and quietly look at the spirit pool.
Patting Dahei's head gently, Shen Lian looked at Dahei's appearance and explained: "Sanqian has dragon blood. Although it is extremely thin, it is much stronger than the mountain-moving ant bloodline in your body."
"Sanqian's advance is also to make an attempt to see if there are any loopholes in the advanced formula tailored for Sanqian. This way, it will be safer when used on you."
Dahei lowered his head and looked unhappy.
Thinking of the time when the master grabbed it and stuffed the pill into its mouth.
At that time, although it was torn apart by the pill and was in great pain, it was very happy.
"Okay, the safety of the master's cave depends on you."
Grabbing Dahei's two big pincers and placing them in front of his eyes, Shen Lian shook it fiercely.
After saying this, Dahei's eyes lit up again.
After giving Dahei psychological counseling, Shen Lian went to the talisman making room. In the past three years, he had no shortage of resources. He had already drawn twenty pieces of No. 2 Tianyan Jade Talismans and 1,600 pieces of No. 3 Tianyan Jade Talismans.
Since every month, there are cultivators coming to refine pills, in order to earn spirit stones, he has not found a suitable time to cultivate the No. 2 Jade Talisman.
Shen Lian also thought about leaving Yuanyan Immortal City and finding a place to cultivate these Tianyan Jade Talismans.
...
South China Sea.
On a desolate and lonely island in the vast ocean.
Suddenly, a roar exploded, startling the seabirds perched on the beach.
"Ha..."
"Qi Yuhuan, that stinky bitch, wanted to kill this ancestor, but you almost did it."
The robe was torn, there were scabs of dirty blood, and the long hair was stuck together, but Bian Qingyun's eyes were bright.
After hiding on the isolated island for more than ten years, he finally suppressed the broken golden elixir, but without a magic elixir, he still couldn't use the elixir power too much.
At most, he could only fight with others at a low intensity.
"First, go find a place with people to ask about the master, and then go find elixir."
After saying that, Bian Qingyun plunged into the vast ocean. When he came out again, he had changed into a new robe, and his aura had dropped to about the ninth level of foundation building.
A few days later, on a passing treasure ship.
Bian Qingyun's face was gloomy.
In front of Bian Qingyun, a foundation building cultivator with a convulsive and twisted body was lying, and he wanted to speak in fear, but couldn't speak.
"Woo woo woo..."
"Master, oh master, you really asked for a hammer and got it."
"Still showing off, only the Nascent Soul is left."
Bian Qingyun's expression changed, and his thoughts drifted away.
That five-element spiritual object is in the Wanxing Sea south of the South China Sea.
Over the years, he has been running away and hiding, and the distance is a bit far, so he can't contact the soul-borrowing insect.
Now that old man Ziyang has only the Nascent Soul left, can he find the five-element spiritual object and run away?
