In the cave.
Chen Lin stood beside the Xuanhuo furnace, looking at a somewhat rough pill in the furnace, and was overjoyed.
Even though this pill may not look that good, it is the first pill he has made without relying on his innate abilities, and it is of milestone significance!
This means that he has stepped into the threshold of becoming an alchemist!
Chen Lin took out the pill with great excitement, and carefully, fearing that he might accidentally crush it. He then put it in front of his nose and smelled it. The scent was the same as that of a normal pill.
This is a Peiyuan Pill. He had already refined several batches of it before using his innate ability, so there would be no mistake in his judgment. It is a finished pill.
He took a breath and swallowed it without hesitation.
Then he began to practice the exercises to sense the effect of the medicine.
After a long time, he opened his eyes, his joy even stronger.
The medicinal power of this pill is definitely not as good as that produced by innate ability, but it also has more than 70% of the efficacy. It is a little lacking for a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training, but it is definitely more than enough for use in the early stage of Qi training.
Although the materials for alchemy are much more expensive than Chu Yuan Dan, it is still profitable if the output can be increased. With the improvement of alchemy skills, the profit will be higher than Chu Yuan Dan.
After all, the recipe for Chu Yuan Dan is a modified version of Qiyun Alchemy. No matter how hard you try, the success rate is only 10% if you rely on your innate ability.
With the first time, things went smoothly.
After several consecutive refining attempts, the success rate began to increase, and not only one pill was produced each time, but sometimes two or three pills would appear.
On average, taking into account the effect of innate ability, twenty pills can be obtained by opening the furnace ten times.
But this is not considered high, because the talent ability can produce ten pills at a time, which means that you can get ten pills in the remaining nine times. If you don’t have the talent ability to back you up, it will still be a big loss.
Chen Lin has been pondering the factors that formed his ability, but the more he studied, the more confused he became. This thing neither conforms to the scientific system nor the cultivation system. If you have to fit it, it can only be said to be mysterious, which is completely unreasonable.
"Unfortunately, this ability only works for making items. It would be great if it also worked for cultivation."
Chen Lin began to imagine that human greed was like a snake swallowing an elephant.
But he immediately put aside his unrealistic thoughts. It was already amazing enough to have such a talent, and one should not be too greedy.
Treasure Pavilion.
"Boss, is there any news?"
As soon as Chen Lin entered the door, he found the shopkeeper and couldn't wait to ask for information.
The effect of the cold pond is getting weaker and weaker, and he hasn't been there for several days.
Not only did he not go, Qian Li also rarely went there. Of course, the reason was different from his. He lost his target because Fairy Zixia had not been there since the last time.
"Oh, it's Fellow Daoist Lin. There's no news yet. Originally there was a Peach Blossom Demon in Black Water Marsh, but unfortunately it was occupied by the Ye family."
"The Ye family, is it the family of Fairy Zixia?"
Chen Lin's heart moved and he asked.
He seemed to have heard Qian Li say that the Fairy Zixia's surname was Ye.
The shopkeeper nodded when he heard this, "Yes, it's that girl. It seems that the girl is very famous. Fellow Daoist Lin has known about it in just a short time since he came here. Could it be that he has some improper thoughts?"
After saying that, he looked at Chen Lin with a teasing look.
Chen Lin hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "Shopkeeper, please don't talk nonsense. I do have some self-awareness. It's just that I saw him practicing evil spirits in the cold pond that day, so I know about this."
The shopkeeper looked suddenly enlightened.
"So that's how it is. That's normal. Although Peach Blossom Evil has some magical effects, it contains aphrodisiac ingredients. When it is condensed into the body, it is easy to arouse the desire of men and women. It is just right to suppress it with the icy power of the Ice Pond."
At this point, the shopkeeper reminded him, "Fellow Daoist, please be careful. When that girl is cultivating her evil spirit, it's best to stay away from her. Otherwise, she will be affected by the peach blossom evil spirit and easily make a fool of herself. Unfortunately, that girl is very powerful. Many cultivators have already been taught a lesson by her."
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.
It seems that the other party that day probably regarded him as a pervert affected by evil spirit, so he treated him coldly.
However, it is somewhat unreasonable to blame others for something you caused yourself.
"Boss, the Ye family occupies the land where the Peach Blossom Evil is produced, so they have no intention of selling it to the outside world?"
Chen Lin asked unwillingly.
Recently, his Vajra Body Refining Technique has come to a complete standstill, and neither the medicinal soup nor the cold pond has any effect.
"Don't even think about it. I know where the Peach Blossom Evil is produced. There isn't much of it. Besides, the Peach Blossom Evil is a mid-grade evil spirit, which is good for building a foundation. The Ye family has kept it for Ye Jinxuan since they occupied it. It's good enough for her to use it alone. How could they possibly give it to outsiders?"
The shopkeeper interrupted Chen Lin's thoughts directly.
Then he comforted her, "But you don't have to despair. Occasionally you'll find places of evil spirits in the Black Water Marsh. You can't hope for a mid-level one, but for a low-level one, you can still buy one if you have enough spirit stones."
"Is evil spirit helpful to cultivators in building their foundation?"
Chen Lin was shocked, because the other party didn't mention this last time.
If that's the case, it would be even more difficult to get this thing, no wonder it's so expensive.
The shopkeeper asked in confusion, "Didn't you read the treasure atlas I gave you last time? There's an introduction there, right?"
Chen Lin opened his mouth and said embarrassedly: "I have been busy making talismans recently, and I have also learned the art of alchemy, so I haven't had time to take a look yet!"
"Oh? Fellow Daoist can also make pills. What level have you reached?"
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up. He no longer cared about the books and stared at Chen Lin's face with anticipation.
The value of an alchemist is much greater than that of a talisman maker.
Chen Lin smiled suddenly and took out a pill bottle from his storage bag.
In the Qingyang Sect, storage bags are no longer a rare item, so Chen Lin hung one outside.
He opened the pill bottle and poured out ten pills, which were the Peiyuan Pills.
"Hey, Peiyuan Pill, but the quality is not very good!"
The shopkeeper recognized the type of pill at a glance, but frowned after picking it up and taking a look.
"Haha, I've just started, so the quality is a little low. How much can a pill like this be worth?"
As long as the price offered by the other party is right, Chen Lin plans to give the pills to the other party to sell in the future. He will keep those produced by his innate ability for himself, and sell those of inferior quality, which can be used to recover spirit stones.
It is safer to trade with a store than to sell it yourself outside. Besides, Zhenbao Pavilion is a centuries-old store, so it is unlikely to have any evil thoughts about such a small amount of stuff.
Moreover, he had inquired about it and found that there was not too much shortage of alchemy here. Not to mention that Qingyang Sect had several alchemists, and there was even an alchemy master. Even other foundation-building families had their own alchemists. He would not cause any trouble by selling low-grade and inferior elixirs.
Now making talismans alone is not enough to cover his resource consumption, and he also has to save money to buy evil spirits.
He did have some trophies on him, all of which were valuable treasures, but he didn't dare to use these things on the territory of Yan State. He could only wait until he reached Chu State.
The shopkeeper checked the pills and nodded, saying, "Although the appearance is a little off, it still has 70% to 80% of its medicinal power. It can be sold for about two medium-grade spirit stones. If you want to sell it, I will give you two medium-grade spirit stones. This should be the highest price given in the market. If you want to consign it, that's fine too. I guarantee that the handling fee will be lower than other stores."
"No need to consign, just two spirit stones will do. Thank you very much, shopkeeper Kang Kai."
Chen Lin readily agreed.
The shops in the market town are all next to each other, and it is impossible for the other party to cheat him on the price. Moreover, the other party has provided him with a lot of information. He will need the other party's help in the future, so he must make the other party see his value.
"readily!"
The shopkeeper smiled and put away the pills, then took out twenty medium-grade spirit stones.
After Chen Lin put away the spirit stone, he suddenly asked in a probing tone: "Is Daoist friend married?"
