“There’s still three o’clock to go.”
A trace of regret arose in Song Jie’s heart.
He had originally imagined that he would be able to reach the third level of the Qi Refining Stage with the help of the mysterious feeling gained after his proficiency in the Changchun Kung Fu was broken through.
It turns out that he thought too much.
“But in one night, it went directly from ninety-one to ninety-seven, which is pretty good.”
Song Jie made some calculations in his mind.
According to the speed of Changchun Gong mastery, it should take less than a month to successfully break through to the third level of Qi refining stage.
Song Jie was quite satisfied with this result.
“There is still more than half a month left before we go to Baodan Tower to confirm our qualifications.
“That is to say, I want to determine the formula of the new elixir before then and successfully refine it.”
According to the rules of the competition, when confirming his qualifications, Song Jie also has to report the elixirs participating in the competition and the medicinal materials needed to refine the elixirs.
After all, for this competition, the medicinal materials for alchemy were provided by Baodan Tower.
Therefore, alchemists who participate in the competition are required to submit the elixirs and corresponding medicinal materials one month in advance to avoid the situation of insufficient medicinal materials when refining the elixir.
After this period of pondering, Song Jie decided to rely on his understanding of pharmacology and his past experience in alchemy.
Create a new elixir recipe.
He only had two requirements for the new elixir.
First, the medicine must be powerful and effective.
Second, it does not damage Yuanyang, or the damage to Yuanyang is minimal, and the side effects are negligible.
To put it simply, it combines the advantages of Bu Dao Wan and Yuanyang Dan, while eliminating the shortcomings of these two pills.
Take the essence and discard the dross.
On the surface, it does not seem difficult, but actually involves a lot of pharmacological knowledge.
When combining different medicinal materials, factors such as the conflict of medicinal properties and the neutralization of medicinal properties need to be considered.
The dosage of each medicinal material is also extremely important.
During this period of time, Song Jie lost a lot of hair before he finally sorted out the recipe.
But we still need to refine and test the elixir, observe its efficacy, and then see how the formula needs to be adjusted.
I finished my early morning spell and body practice exercises in the open space outside the house.
Song Jie returned to the house, tidied up, and prepared to go out to set up a stall.
“Today is also a day of great wealth~”
After adjusting his mood, Song Jie walked towards the central square of Xinyuefang City.
Arrive at the stall in a familiar way.
Song Jie saw that Li Caiwei was entertaining guests, so he started to tidy up his stall without saying hello.
He placed his little horse in place and sat on it gently.
Then he put the old sign board aside.
Then he took out the pills from the medicine box one by one and placed them neatly on the stall.
After everything was ready, Li Caiwei was still working hard to sell her weapons and armor to customers.
Song Jie felt that the customer looked familiar.
Song Jie remembered clearly that time he greeted the guests with a smile, but the other party didn’t even look at him.
I was thinking about how to sell the elixir to the other party for a while.
After a while, I saw the cold woman frowning and her eyes flickering, as if she was making some decision in her heart.
“It seems that fellow Taoist disciples really like these five-color ribbons.
“Okay, I’ll take one step back and get thirty spiritual stones.
“This is already the lowest price. If you want it, fellow Taoist, just take it away.”
After hearing Li Caiwei’s final price, the aloof woman finally made up her mind and nodded gently.
“good.”
Immediately, the two paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other hand, completing the transaction.
Seeing that the cold woman had completed the transaction and was about to turn towards him, Song Jie immediately put on a professional smile.
Before he could speak, the aloof woman glanced at Song Jie, immediately turned around and left in another direction.
Song Jie’s smile froze instantly, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
Li Caiwei couldn’t help but laugh.
“I probably don’t get along with that fairy.”
Song Jie could only forcefully explain something to ease his inner embarrassment.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long before Miao Tong appeared in front of the stall on time.
He spent a huge sum of money and spent three spiritual stones to buy seven bottles of “Bigu Pill” from Song Jie.
Only then did Song Jie’s injured soul get some solace.
After setting up a stall for the day, Song Jie received another twenty spiritual stones.
With forty-six spiritual stones in his arms, Song Jie came to the spiritual medicine studio again.
Because he needed to refine new elixirs, he bought a few additional new medicinal materials this time.
In addition to good things like epimedium, black aconite, cnidium monnieri, and cistanche deserticola, Song Jie also bought dodder, Cynomorium cynomorium, silk moths, giant dragonflies, and big treasures from various wild beasts such as deer whip and tiger whip.
Of course, not all of these good things may be used when refining alchemy.
In line with the principle of being prepared, Song Jie bought more to save himself from having to make another trip to the Spiritual Medicine Studio later.
After coming out of the Spiritual Medicine Studio, Song Jie’s savings once again turned into twenty-six spiritual stones.
All the spiritual stones he earned today were used to buy tonic medicinal materials.
After returning home, Song Jie practiced spells and body movements for half an hour.
Afterwards, he sorted out the medicinal materials he bought.
Because the medicinal materials he bought were all processed, even the various whips had been ground into powder and did not need to be processed by him.
After sorting the medicinal materials, Song Jie looked at the current time and saw that it was not too late.
He struck the iron while it was hot and lit the firewood in the stove.
According to the elixir formula deduced a few days ago, pour the medicinal materials into the pot one by one.
“Ginseng, deer antlers, musk, tiger whip, snake whip, deer whip, gecko, epimedium, Morinda citrifolia…”
This time he was refining a brand new elixir, and Song Jie didn’t pour in too many medicinal ingredients.
Finally, after a lot of work, three black pills were neatly arranged on the chopping board.
“This new pill is called… Diamond Dragon Tiger Pill.”
Song Jie nodded, very satisfied with the name.
Taking this elixir can be as indestructible as a diamond, locking the yang without leaking. Even if it takes an hour or two, it will still be strong.
Of course, this is just the effect Song Jie expected.
How effective it actually is can only be known after trying the elixir.
“Next it’s time to go find Dahei and try the elixir.
“I haven’t seen you for a while. I wonder how Brother Dahei is doing lately?”
