Chapter 9 Trying to Make an Elixir

What Wang Hao didn’t know was that everything he did in the shop was seen by Wang Yanzhao on the second floor!

“Second brother, are you relieved now?” A young man sitting on the other side of the table spoke up. This man was called Wang Yanfeng, with three spiritual roots and the seventh level of Qi training. He was the eighth in the Wang family’s Yan generation and was also an alchemist. However, his talent was much worse than Wang Yanzhao’s. He could only refine first-level pills. After Wang Yanzhao’s ninth level of Qi training, his cultivation level could not be improved. He focused on refining pills and broke through to the second-level lower-grade alchemist half a year ago!

Wang Yanfeng came here to take over Wang Yanzhao’s shop in the market, while Wang Yanzhao was preparing to return to the family residence to wait for the foundation-building pill to build the foundation!

Wang Yanzhao sighed slightly: "Hey, I hope he can hold on longer this time. Eighth brother, I won't hide it from you. This kid has practiced in seclusion in the past, but he could only hold on for half a year at most!"

Wang Yanfeng smiled and said: "Second brother, you have also seen that nephew Hao is now at the fourth level of Qi training. This time he came to buy pills. I think he has really learned it well! Besides, I am still here to take care of him, so don't worry, second brother!"

Wang Yanzhao nodded helplessly. He had no choice. He couldn't protect Wang Hao for his whole life. Wang Hao looked like he had learned well, but what Wang Yanfeng didn't know was that he only left Wang Hao 100 spirit stones. Now he bought all the pills. After eating them, he couldn't advance to the fifth level of Qi training. When there was no pill to help him, Wang Hao could still endure the hardship of practicing with five spirit roots at a snail's pace?

"Everything is up to my eighth brother. You don't have to look after him deliberately. Just don't let him cause any trouble or kill him!"

"Second brother is in a serious condition. After all, he is the blood of my Wang family. How can I, as his uncle, let anyone kill him?"

After saying goodbye, Wang Yanzhao took another look at Wang Hao's back, and then left Qingniufang City with other family members.

After Wang Hao advanced to the middle stage of Qi training, his speed of refining pills increased a lot. These three bottles of pills were enough for him to practice for more than five months. However, he got a lot of seeds for free in the square this time, including one called white jade watermelon.

This thing consumes a lot of land. It takes a year for a general first-level spiritual field to recover after planting one crop. Therefore, although it has the effect of improving cultivation, there are very few people who plant it. Because in terms of efficiency, it is indeed not as cost-effective as planting other spiritual herbs to refine pills.

Wang Hao's farm is obviously not afraid of this. The planting period of white jade watermelon is not long, and it can be harvested in one year, but the medicinal effect is a bit poor. The medicinal effect of one watermelon is about 80% of that of Juling Pill. Because it needs a lot of spiritual power to grow, a maximum of 20 plants can be planted per acre, and each plant can only produce one white jade watermelon!

This benefit is still very low. The medicinal power is not as good as the Juling Pill, and the price is not as good. Even with the blessing of taste, the income per acre is at most 50 spiritual stones!

Planting spiritual rice can also earn 30 spiritual stones per acre per year, and there is no risk of soil exhaustion. You can imagine how to choose!

But Wang Hao doesn't care. He wants to reduce external purchases as much as possible, reduce his sense of existence, and survive until the late stage of Qi training!

Although using white jade watermelon to assist in cultivation will be slower than Juling Pill, it is no problem to advance to the fifth level of Qi training in about a year. This cultivation speed is already very fast. It is not as good as the Tianling root, but it is faster than some second spiritual roots without pills. Of course, under the same cultivation conditions, it is still not as fast as others. The talent is here, there is no way!

Wang Hao quickly returned to the courtyard and planted the purchased spiritual plants and seeds in the vegetable garden. His few acres of land are also spiritual fields, and he is idle.

As for the farm, Wang Hao still had to buy seeds from the outside in the mall. Well, it was in line with the nature of Penguin Games. It was a rip-off!

Clicking in, I saw that the price of the golden silk apricot seeds was thirty spirit stones. It was really unfair. However, this was a perennial spirit plant. It could be planted once and harvested many times. According to the lifespan of a first-level spirit plant of up to 100 years, this golden silk apricot could survive for ten years in Wang Hao's farm.

The spirit apricot tree grew up in fifteen years, and then bloomed and bore fruit every five years. He could harvest seventeen times!

Each of the Wang family's golden silk apricot trees produced only five or six fruits at a time. The farm should have a maximum yield, which should be more, but I don't think it would exceed ten!

After clicking to sow, Wang Hao found that there were three seeds distributed in a triangle in that grid of land, which meant that one acre of land could grow three spirit apricot trees. This number was enough for his cultivation in the late stage of Qi training!

So Wang Hao planted one acre of white jade watermelon on each of the remaining three plots of land, and chose the most economically efficient spirit grass for the other two plots to develop the remaining land!

After arranging these trivial matters, Wang Hao practiced for another month. The effect of taking pills was much worse than when he was in the third level of Qi training. When he was in the third level of Qi training, he used the Juling Pill to practice, and he could expand the Dantian capacity a little in less than three days, but now he needs five days.

And the speed of refining pills has also become faster. In the past, it took six days to refine a Juling Pill, but now it only takes five days.

This caused Wang Hao's original calculations to be in vain. The amount of pills he needed to break through the fifth level increased greatly!

Although the white jade watermelon was ripe, Wang Hao did not feel too happy, because he had already refined a white jade watermelon, and the effect was not satisfactory, so refining pills was imminent!

The spiritual stones on the farm could not be taken out, and the spiritual apricots would take more than a year to mature. Moreover, even if the spiritual apricots were ripe, wouldn't he need spiritual stones to buy other things?

Magical instruments, spiritual talismans, and foundation-building pills!

Selling a large amount of spiritual rice and spiritual medicine at once will easily arouse suspicion from others, and it will also easily expose the secrets of the farm. It would be much better to sell elixirs instead. After all, spiritual rice and spiritual medicine are not easy to sell to casual cultivators, but elixirs are needed by everyone. He only needs to sell them at a lower price than the store. Isn't it easy to earn some spiritual stones?

As soon as he said it, Wang Hao took out the jade slip left by Wang Yanzhao and carefully checked it.

Wang Yanzhao gave him three first-level elixir recipes, namely the entry-level elixir Bigu Dan, the first-level low-grade elixir Juling Dan, and the first-level medium-grade elixir Huangya Dan.

These three recipes are not precious and can be found in the market. Wang Yanzhao probably chose them because he thought these three elixirs are simple to refine. Even the first-level medium-grade Huangya Dan only needs three spiritual medicines!

Alchemy can be roughly divided into three steps: one is to refine the spiritual medicine into liquid medicine, the second is fusion, and the third is to condense the pill.

The difficulty of the first and second steps will be greatly reduced if fewer spiritual medicines are required!

The jade slips left by Wang Yanzhao not only contain the introduction of the recipe and refining method, but also his own experience in refining, which can be regarded as well-intentioned!

There are also several kinds of Bigu Pills, but Wang Hao only chose the simplest one for beginners, and the material only needs spiritual rice!

Wang Hao found that the white jade watermelon was not suitable for his own practice and he no longer planted it. Now the land is planted with spiritual rice, 100 kilograms in ten days, which can be used for refining pills, and it is still okay to save it!

Moreover, the efficiency of the spiritual talisman grass is good. He can open up the next piece of land in another month. With more land, raw materials are naturally not a problem!

In the Qi Refining Period, alchemy generally chooses to use earth fire to make pills, but unfortunately there is no earth fire in the entire Qingniufang. If you want to use earth fire, you can only go to Qingyuanmen, and the rent is not cheap. Wang Hao can only use spiritual carbon instead.
