Song Jie took out a spatula, gently cut open the beeswax used to seal the mouth of the bottle, and then opened the lid.
Suddenly, a wave of spiritual power from the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage appeared in the alchemy room.
Song Jie silently sensed it and said to himself: “Fortunately, it was sealed in time and the spiritual power inside did not escape too much.”
Immediately, Song Jie no longer hesitated, immediately opened the lid of the Ziyun Copper Furnace, and poured all the spiritual liquid in the clay pot into the Ziyun Copper Furnace.
Then he aimed his palms at the Ziyun copper furnace and exerted slight force.
“Teng~”
A cluster of faint blue flames appeared in the Ziyun Copper Furnace, instantly enveloping the spiritual liquid inside.
Under the smelting of the Qingming Fire in Song Jie’s Great Dao Realm, the spiritual liquid in the Ziyun Copper Furnace soon made a “sizzling” sound.
The volume of the spiritual liquid began to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Slowly, white crystals began to precipitate from it.
As time went by, more and more white crystals appeared, and at the same time, wisps of black smoke drifted out from the purple cloud copper furnace.
Jinjiao, who was lying aside, twitched the tip of his nose slightly.
The eyes that were drooping suddenly widened.
He immediately opened his mouth and took a deep breath.
The black smoke floating out from the Ziyun copper furnace was sucked into its mouth.
Those impurities that are very harmful to monks are, in the eyes of the Unicorn Alchemy Beast, a great tonic for practice.
From the perspective of raw materials for alchemy, there is not much difference between the corpses of monks and monsters.
But there are still essential differences between the cultivation of monks and the cultivation of monsters.
Therefore, if Song Jie used monsters as raw materials, he would not be able to refine the Ling Yun Dan that could be taken by monks.
And if a monk absorbs the cultivation of a monster, it is very likely that he will become neither human nor monster.
Song Jie has also conducted in-depth research on this point over the years.
Unfortunately, research results show that transvestites do have a different path.
Otherwise, Song Jie could completely use monsters as alchemy materials, which would make it easier for him to accept psychologically.
……
About a quarter of an hour later, there was no trace of the spiritual liquid in the Ziyun Copper Furnace.
The crystals precipitated from the spiritual liquid were continuously purified by the smelting of the Qingming Fire, and finally turned into white powder.
“That should be enough.”
Song Jie nodded slightly and manipulated his spiritual power to pull out the white powder from the Ziyun Copper Furnace and put it back into the clay pot.
“The purification is complete, let’s start the formal elixir refining.”
With that said, Song Jie took out the alchemy ingredients that he had prepared long ago from his storage bag, and took out a small amount of white powder from the clay pot.
I reviewed one of the recipes for Ling Yun Dan in my mind.
Immediately, the first attempt at Ling Yun Dan began.
……
Time passes.
Another half month passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past half month, Song Jie spent most of his energy refining the elixirs sold daily in the store.
I just take some time every day to try to refine one or two furnaces of Ling Yun Dan.
After half a month of trying, he had adjusted the formula of Ling Yun Dan at least twenty times.
It has to be said that this kind of elixir that can directly improve one’s cultivation is much more complicated than those he has developed in the past.
Fortunately, during the past ten years, Song Jie had read many books related to alchemy and had done relevant research in advance.
With more than ten years of accumulation and after consuming nearly half of the white powder, he finally successfully refined the Ling Yun Dan.
After successfully refining a Ling Yun Dan and verifying its efficacy.
In the next half month, Song Jie found time to refine all the remaining white powder into Ling Yun Dan.
Finally, thirty Lingyun Pills were refined.
In fact, Song Jie can also refine all the white powder into a Ling Yun Dan.
But in that case, the effect of the medicine will be too strong, and there may be no time to digest and absorb it, and a lot of cultivation will escape, resulting in waste.
So Song Jie divided the purified white powder into multiple parts for refining.
In this way, the medicinal effect is dispersed to ensure full absorption.
“If you take these thirty Lingyun Pills one in the morning, noon and one in the evening, you should have enough time to absorb them and there will be no waste.
“Wait ten days and see how the effect is. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
After putting thirty pills of spirit essence into the jade bottle and putting them into the storage bag, Song Jie ended today’s alchemy work.
“In half a month, Xiao Ning will be sent to the Alchemy Sect to participate in the introductory trial.”
A few days ago, Shi Lei found Song Jie in private, and the two chatted for a while about the future of Shi An and Shi Ning.
Under Shi Lei’s ideological work, Shi An and Shi Ning finally made the same choice and decided to join the Immortal Cultivation Sect.
Even though they are reluctant to give up, they are still young people and they will definitely yearn for a broader world in their hearts.
I dreamed that one day, after I became successful in cultivation, I would be able to go further afield, meet more monks, and increase my knowledge.
If they stay in Xinyuefang City, they can certainly rely on the business that their father has worked hard to live a stable life.
But their life, where they can see everything at a glance, is unacceptable to teenagers of their age.
So after Shi Lei told them about this matter, they didn’t hesitate for too long and decided to follow Shi Lei’s arrangement.
And Shi Lei also used Li Caiwei’s relationship to buy a spot as a handyman disciple from the Qiyun Immortal Sect through the Li family.
The quota of this handyman disciple alone cost Shi Lei five spiritual crystals.
That is fifty thousand spiritual stones.
I don’t know how many low-level monks may be able to earn so many spiritual stones after working hard all their lives.
And this can only buy a place for a handyman disciple in the Qiyun Immortal Sect.
You have to have certain connections to buy it.
Ordinary people, even if they have spiritual stones, cannot buy the place of this handyman disciple.
In addition to these five spiritual crystals, Shi Lei also spent thousands of spiritual stones on all the preparations.
When Song Jie heard this number, he immediately sighed.
Thinking back on when he refused to become a handyman disciple of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect, all he got in exchange was a first-grade elixir recipe.
Although this first-grade elixir recipe has also created a lot of profits for him over the years.
But after such a comparison, Song Jie still felt a little distressed.
You should have known earlier that the handyman disciples of the five major sects were worth so many spiritual stones.
He should have asked if he could resell the opportunity to join the Alchemy Sect to someone else.
He believes that there must be many people willing to spend a lot of money to buy this spot.
Of course, Song Jie was just thinking about it in his mind. If he went back to that time, he would not dare to ask this question.
Once this question is asked, there is a 100% chance that the Alchemy Sect will be offended.
However, Shi Lei’s 50,000 spirit stones were not just for buying the identity of a handyman disciple.
According to Shi Lei, when Shi An joins the Qiyun Immortal Sect, he will be assigned a position related to weapon refining.
For large sects like the five major sects, although there are many servant disciples under the sect, they all perform their duties.
The Qiyun Immortal Sect is famous for its weapon refining. Among the handyman disciples, the best positions are naturally related to weapon refining.
In this kind of position, you can not only learn knowledge related to weapon refining, but also have a greater chance of being promoted to an outer disciple.
Compared to Shi An’s good luck, Shi Ning could only rely on his own ability to participate in the introductory trial of the Alchemy Sect.
Whether he can successfully join the Alchemy Sect is still unknown.
Even if you are lucky enough to pass the entry test, there is a high probability that you will not be placed in a good position.
The entrance trial of the Alchemy Sect is still a month and a half away.
Because the journey is long, we have to set off a month in advance and get there a few days early to have a good rest.
As for Shi Lei, he will send Shi An to the Qiyun Immortal Sect in a few days, and he will definitely not be able to come back in time to send Shi Ning to the Alchemy Sect.
So he could only entrust Song Jie to help send Shi Ning to the Danding Sect.
Song Jie didn’t shirk anything, they had already agreed on this matter before.
“It seems like I haven’t left Xinyuefang City for a long time. I’m still a little nervous about going out so far this time.”
Song Jie remembered that the last time he left Xinyuefang City was three years ago.
That time, he accompanied Shi Lei to Qinghefang City, the city where Liu Zhicheng originally settled.
When I went there, Shi Lei said that Qinghefang City was going to hold an auction and wanted to see if there was anything good.
Song Jie had never participated in an auction before, so he went along to gain experience.
At that auction, Shi Lei actually bought a weapon refining material.
As for Song Jie, he was just there to make soy sauce and did not participate in the bidding.
“In the next half month, we have to make some preparations. When we go out so far, we must bring enough pills.”
After some calculation, Song Jie walked out of the alchemy room and came to the front store.
“Brother Song, you’ve finished practicing the elixirs and are you ready to go home?”
Li Caiwei saw Song Jie coming out of the back hall and greeted him with a smile.
Song Jie nodded and smiled: “Yes, I have finished practicing today’s elixirs. It’s time to go home and practice.”
“Brother Song is really hardworking.” Li Caiwei covered her mouth and chuckled, and said: “Today, Grandma Wang is here to mediate for you again.
“They say there is a good girl at the third level of Qi refining stage, with a third-attribute spiritual root. I would like to ask you if you are interested in getting to know her.”
Po Wang is a relatively famous matchmaker in Xinyuefang City.
There are many couples in the city who got together under the help of Mrs. Wang.
As the most famous first-level alchemist in Xinyuefang City, Song Jie is already forty-four years old, but for a successful male monk, this age is not particularly old.
Moreover, Song Jie has practiced Changchun Gong to the realm of the Great Dao, and he has been in beauty many years ago.
Just judging from his appearance, he is a young man under thirty years old.
A young-looking, well-known alchemist also opened a shop, and the amount of spiritual stones he received each month might be more than what some monks earned in a year.
Such a handsome, talented and wealthy alchemist, who has always maintained his integrity for many years, there are countless female monks in the city who want to get acquainted with Song Jie.
Over the years, several brave female monks have gone to the Alchemy Pavilion to express their love to Song Jie in person.
Unfortunately, Song Jie declined them all.
Some people who are thin-skinned will entrust matchmakers like Wang Po to come and mediate.
When Song Jie heard Li Caiwei talking about this, he felt a little overwhelmed.
He has made it clear to the outside world that he is devoted to Taoism and has no thoughts of finding a Taoist partner for the time being.
But from time to time, matchmakers come to talk to each other.
It doesn’t matter if a matchmaker comes to talk to them. Over the years, Shi Lei and his wife have introduced Taoist couples to themselves from time to time.
He also advised Song Jie many times to find a young and beautiful Taoist companion as soon as possible while he is still young.
Otherwise, when you get older in the future, if you fail to build the foundation, it will be difficult to find a Taoist partner.
Song Jie can also understand the thoughts of Shi Lei and his wife.
In a place like Xinyuefang City, most of the people living are low-level monks.
Most of the lower-level monks are almost destined to have no opportunity to build a foundation in this life.
Therefore, in the eyes of these monks, it is a very important thing to marry early, have children, and carry on the family line.
If the child is born with good spiritual qualifications, if he has the opportunity to build a foundation in the future, he will be able to honor his ancestors.
But Song Jie was determined to build the foundation, so naturally he had no intention of paying attention to those romantic matters.
Immediately, without thinking, he asked Li Caiwei to reject Wang Po.
Regarding Song Jie’s answer, Li Caiwei had already expected it. She was just a token helper.
Wait until the next time Wang Po comes to the store again, and then give Song Jie’s feedback to Wang Po.
After saying goodbye to Li Caiwei, Song Jie stopped staying in the store.
He was afraid that Mrs. Wang would suddenly come to him and take him for a chat.
……
The sun rises and the moon sets.
Soon, another half month passed.
It was just dawn, and Song Jie ended the night’s practice as usual.
Slowly exhaling a breath, Song Jie opened his bright eyes.
“We are leaving today to take Xiao Ning to the Alchemy Sect to participate in the introductory trial…”
Song Jie murmured, then with a thought, he opened the attribute panel and looked at the realm column.
[Realm: Sixth Level of Qi Refining Stage (10/100)]
“The cultivation has progressed to ten percent.”
Song Jie had finished taking the thirty Lingyun Pills five days ago.
After taking the Lingyun Pill, his cultivation realm increased by almost eight points.
Coupled with the past two months of accumulation after breaking through the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage, the progress has finally reached ten points.
In other words, the improvement in cultivation brought about by those thirty Lingyun Pills is equivalent to the improvement in his cultivation level achieved by sixteen months of diligent practice.
It directly saved him a year and four months.
The speed of this cultivation improvement really gave him a big surprise.
At the same time, I couldn’t help but sigh, no wonder some monks are willing to become evil cultivators.
The speed at which this kind of unconventional method can improve one’s cultivation level does have a kind of obsessive attraction.
However, Song Jie also found that the cultivation level improved through this method was still somewhat frivolous.
It is far less stable than one’s own cultivation and growth.
Therefore, any shortcut will have corresponding disadvantages.
Fortunately, this kind of inflated cultivation is not a particularly big problem. You can gradually consolidate your cultivation through daily practice.
During the period of consolidating one’s cultivation level, the speed of improving one’s cultivation level through practice will become slower.
There is always a gain in everything, and it is rare to have the best of both worlds.
Song Jie can accept this.
After all, including the time spent consolidating one’s cultivation, the speed of taking Ling Yun Dan to improve one’s cultivation is still far greater than the speed of normal cultivation.
It just so happened that Song Jie had finished eating all the Ling Yun Dan, and there was no Ling Yun Dan to eat for the time being.
In the next period of time, you can practice while consolidating your somewhat frivolous cultivation.
“I’m going on a long trip today, so I won’t practice magic and body skills in the morning. After breakfast, I’ll go find Xiao Ning…”
