Chapter 65 Create your own first-grade elixir
[Name: Song Jie]
[Shougen: 28/82]
[Spiritual Root: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water]
[Realm: Third level of Qi refining stage (7/100)]
[Kung Fu: Changchun Gong (Proficient 645/1000)]
[Spells: One Yang Finger (small success 308/600), Dragon Claw Hand (small success 308/600), Ten Thousand Sword Jue (first practice 20/100), Qingming Youhuo (first practice 15/100)]
[Movement Technique: Lost Tracking Step (Skilled 108/300)]
[Supernatural power: none]
[Skills: Alchemy (Level 1): Rejuvenation Pill (first practice 10/100), Fuling Pill (skilled 102/300), Bigu Pill (small success 549/600), Diamond Dragon and Tiger Pill (small success 326/600) 】
[Skill points: 94 points (can be used to improve the proficiency of exercises, spells, body skills, magical powers, and skills)]
During this period, Song Jie improved his proficiency by a total of 63 points, which was converted into skill points, which was 63 points.
Looking at the attribute panel that appeared in front of him, Song Jie thought to himself.
“There are now a total of ninety-four skill points. According to the original plan, these skill points are used to improve the proficiency of the Rejuvenation Pill.
“For now, let’s take a moment to wait and see if there is any way that can help me improve my ability to protect myself and escape in a short period of time.”
Song Jie first focused on the three columns of exercises, spells, and body skills.
“If you want to improve your self-protection ability, the easiest way is to improve your cultivation level, but my current cultivation level is still far from a breakthrough.
“There is still a lot of proficiency left before the next stage of Changchun Gong, so we can pass this first.
“If Yiyang Finger and Dragon Claw Hand can be upgraded to the next level of proficiency, there should be a big breakthrough.
“But these two are just like Changchun Gong, the proficiency is so different that there is no need to consider it at all.
“The current skill points can upgrade Wan Jian Jue to the next level of proficiency, but the proficiency level is too low to have much effect.
“There is no need to consider the Qingming Nether Fire, as it cannot be used for fighting.
“On the other hand, if you can upgrade to the next level of proficiency in Mizongbu, your ability to save your life and escape can be greatly improved.
“It’s a pity that my skill points are only ninety-four. To advance to the next level of Mizongbu, I need at least one hundred and ninety-two proficiency points.”
Song Jie shook his head, sighed with regret, and then turned his attention to the skill column.
“It seems that the final hope still lies in the elixir.
“The elixirs I have now, the Rejuvenation Pill and Fuling Pill, are recovery elixirs that can provide some life-saving capabilities, but they are very limited.
“As for the Bigu Pill and the Diamond Dragon and Tiger Pill, just ignore them.
“For the current plan, only by developing elixirs with special effects can we improve our ability to save our lives.
“What kind of elixir are we going to develop?”
Song Jie kept rubbing the stubble on his chin with one hand, thinking about what kind of elixir he should develop to give himself a chance to survive when the enemy attacks.
He does not need to directly rely on elixirs to kill the enemy, which is obviously unrealistic.
“The neighborhood I live in now is close to the center. If an enemy attacks, I don’t need to rely on myself to repel them.
“We just need to make as much noise as possible, and then support the monks from the three major families to come to the rescue.
“Besides, Brother Shi lives next door. If he finds out that I am being attacked, he will never stand idly by.
“With his cultivation level at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage and being a first-level weapon refiner, he must have created a suitable first-level spiritual weapon for himself.
“A sixth-level monk in the Qi Refining Stage who possesses a first-grade spiritual weapon can definitely deal with a seventh-level Qi Refining Stage monk who does not have a spiritual weapon.
“With our combined efforts, as long as Nie Yixiong doesn’t come in person, we can support the monks from the three major families to come to the rescue.”
Half a month ago, Li Caiwei had just broken through to the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and her strength had also been greatly improved.
However, Li Caiwei is pregnant now, and Song Jie doesn’t want Li Caiwei to get involved.
So he didn’t consider Li Caiwei as a helping hand.
“With Brother Shi’s help, I don’t need to support myself until the monks from the three major families come to rescue me.
“We only need to withstand the enemy’s first wave of attacks at the beginning and support him until Brother Shi comes over.
“If the enemy is not sufficiently prepared, it is very likely that Brother Shi and I will counterattack him. There is no need to wait for the monks from the three major families to come to the rescue.”
Thinking of this, Song Jie’s thoughts began to become clearer.
“So what I need now is a pill that can temporarily enhance my own strength, or a pill that weakens the enemy’s strength.”
Song Jie suddenly remembered that during the popular elixir competition, a first-level alchemist seemed to have refined a first-level elixir called “Poison Cloud Pill”.
If he remembered correctly, the first-level alchemist seemed to be named Zhuge, but he didn’t pay attention to his specific name.
“Poison Cloud Pill is indeed a pill that can weaken the enemy’s strength. You can buy some spare ones from that Zhuge Alchemist.”
If the other party is willing to sell the prescription of Duyundan, Song Jie doesn’t mind spending more spiritual stones to buy the prescription.
But this possibility is estimated to be unlikely. At the level of a first-grade elixir, the preciousness of the elixir has skyrocketed.
Unless the relationship is irreversible, generally no alchemist would be willing to sell a first-grade elixir recipe to a peer. This behavior is equivalent to giving benefits to competitors.
“As for the elixir to enhance your strength…”
Song Jie remembered that there were two first-grade elixirs for sale in the Baodan Building that could temporarily enhance the strength of monks, namely the Accumulating Pill and the Barrier-Breaking Pill.
Power-charging pills can temporarily increase a monk’s strength. The specific amount of improvement depends on the monk’s cultivation level and the quality of the elixir.
The Barrier-Breaking Pill is a first-grade elixir that improves the level of cultivation. Of course, it only improves briefly. It will lose its effectiveness as time passes, and it will enter a period of spiritual power vacuum.
The barrier-breaking pill stimulates the spiritual power in the monk’s body, so that the monk in the Qi refining period can briefly break through the barriers to cultivation and improve the level of cultivation.
The specific level of cultivation that can be improved is also related to the cultivation level of the monk and the quality of the elixir.
“You can also buy some power-charging pills and barrier-breaking pills.
“In addition to these purchased first-grade elixirs, I also want to develop an elixir that can weaken the enemy’s strength.
“And it must be a first-grade elixir. If it is a non-level elixir, it can only be effective on low-level monks in the Qi refining stage.
“When it comes to mid-to-high-level Qi Refining Stage monks, the effect will be greatly reduced, or even negligible.”
Song Jie frowned in thought, recalling the various elixirs he had refined when he was an alchemy blogger before he traveled through time.
Although those elixirs are all low-level elixirs, they are ordinary elixirs in the eyes of monks.
But Song Jie felt that he could try to use those Fandan formulas as a basis and combine it with his own understanding of the medicinal properties.
Replace those ordinary medicinal materials with spiritual plants, crystal minerals, monster flesh and blood, etc. that are rich in spirituality.
In this case, it might be possible to refine a first-grade elixir, and it would be his own original first-grade elixir.
Most alchemists who cannot buy a first-grade elixir recipe base their methods on their own understanding of the medicinal properties.
Combining various spiritual plants, crystal minerals, and monster flesh and blood, he tried to create his own recipe for a first-class spiritual elixir.
Of course, this method is equivalent to starting from scratch. During this period, you must experience countless failures before you can succeed.
Song Jie was based on the elixirs he had refined before traveling through time, so it was not completely starting from scratch.
Soon, Song Jie found an elixir that could weaken the enemy’s strength from the elixirs he had refined.
