Golden Dragon Sea, Golden Dragon Island.
In a cave, Han Changming was sitting cross-legged on a cushion. The Vermillion Bird Furnace was engulfed in flames and the room was filled with an extremely strong medicinal fragrance.
After a moment, Han Changming retracted his magic spell and the flames dissipated, as if they had never appeared.
He opened the lid of the alchemy furnace and saw twelve light blue pills inside. Upon closer inspection, he found that each pill had a light golden spiritual pattern on its surface. They were relatively small in size and emitted a strong medicinal fragrance.
"Middle-grade elixir, not bad."
Han Changming smiled happily. The golden spiritual pattern was a pill pattern, which would only appear on elixirs of medium quality or above.
He has been on Golden Dragon Island for half a year. Apart from practicing, he is also refining pills. Ye Xin is looking after the shop, Han Changying is refining puppet beasts, and Han Changlu is refining pills.
Guangyuanju's business is much better and has many repeat customers.
Of course, Han Changming did not take out the mid-grade elixirs for sale. There are shops selling mid-grade elixirs in Jinlong City, and these shops are backed by high-level cultivators. Han Changming wanted to earn spirit stones, not to cause trouble.
He didn't have many mid-grade pills on hand, and he mainly kept them for himself.
He discovered a problem. The quality of the mid-grade elixir he refined was better than the mid-grade elixir purified by the Taiyi Hualing Gourd. If not, Han Changming would not need to refine elixir. He could directly buy elixir on the market, purify it into mid-grade elixir with the Taiyi Hualing Gourd, and then resell it.
After all, the Taiyi Hualing Gourd is an auxiliary magic weapon, which only removes impurities from elixirs. The mid-grade elixirs refined by Han Changming could never be purified into top-grade elixirs when placed in the Taiyi Hualing Gourd. Of course, the mid-grade elixirs purified by the Taiyi Hualing Gourd were definitely better in quality than those that had not been purified.
He compared the mid-grade elixirs he refined with those on the market, and found that the mid-grade elixirs he refined were much better.
Han Changming put away all the Huiling Pills and Suzaku Furnace, took out a Heyuan Pill, and swallowed it.
The pill melted in his mouth, and a powerful spiritual energy rose from his abdomen and ran everywhere. Han Changming hurriedly used his internal energy to refine the spiritual energy.
The medicinal power contained in the mid-grade elixir was so huge that Han Changming spent more than an hour to refine the huge medicinal power contained in the mid-grade elixir.
He felt that his magic power increased slightly. This middle-grade pill was equivalent to a month of hard training. If it was a top-grade Heyuan Pill, the effect would probably be even better.
Han Changming suddenly took out a palm-sized blue jade plate and entered a spell. A blue light flashed, and Ye Xin's joyful voice suddenly rang out: "Husband, a fellow Taoist brought a second-level pill recipe and asked you to make the pill for him. If you are free, come to Guangyuanju. He wants to talk to you in person."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Han Changming agreed, hurriedly left his residence and came to Guangyuanju.
Han Changming and Han Changlu refined pills for sale, and Han Changying refined puppet beasts for sale, which greatly boosted Guangyuanju's business.
Several cultivators were buying pills in the store, and Ye Xin was chatting with a tall and thin middle-aged man.
"My dear, this is Fellow Daoist Chen. He wants to discuss things with you in person."
Ye Xin pointed at the middle-aged man and introduced him.
"Friend Chen, it's not convenient to talk here. Let's go to the backyard to talk."
A customer was buying pills in the store, and Han Changming invited the middle-aged man to the backyard to negotiate.
"My fellow Daoist, what kind of elixir do you want me to make? Can you please take out the recipe and let me see it?"
Han Changming asked politely. According to the rules, asking an alchemist to make an elixir on one's behalf is equivalent to giving the elixir recipe to the alchemist.
The middle-aged man looked Han Changming up and down, his eyes showing some doubt, and asked: "Are you really a second-level alchemist? How come I have never heard of you?"
Han Changming lives a secluded life and rarely participates in other activities except for attending a few alchemist exchange meetings. It is normal that the middle-aged man has not heard of Han Changming.
If he handed over the recipe, Han Changming would not be able to refine the pill, and the recipe would be given to him for nothing.
"I came from another sea area. I have been refining pills and rarely come into contact with the outside world. It is normal that Fellow Daoist Chen has not heard of it. I know Fellow Daoist Chen's concerns. How about this! If you can't refine it, I am willing to pay a high price to buy your pill formula, provided that your pill formula is worth the price. Don't take out the ordinary second-level pill formula."
Han Changming said proudly. He was not bragging. His success rate in refining second-level pills was not low. As long as he could gather all the materials, he was confident that he could refine it. It was just a matter of failures.
"It's the detoxification pill - Wu Yue Wan. The ingredients on the recipe can be gathered together. I only prepared three sets of ingredients. I hope you can refine it."
The middle-aged man took out a green jade slip and a green storage bag and handed them to Han Changming.
Han Changming took the jade slip, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and smiled happily.
"Fellow Daoist, go back and rest first. If I refine the Wu Yue Pills, I will contact you immediately. I can guarantee that at least five Wu Yue Pills will be of the same quality as the second-level detoxification pills you buy on the market."
Han Changming said confidently that there are many detoxification pills on the market, but the names are different and the effects are also very different. It all depends on the level of the alchemist.
There was a reason why the middle-aged man did not buy detoxification pills but instead asked Han Changming to refine the pills. If Han Changming could refine the Wu Yue Pills, he would sell them to the middle-aged man at a relatively cheap price in the future. Otherwise, he could just buy other detoxification pill recipes. Why would he need to ask Han Changming to refine the pills
"Okay, I've tried all the second-level detoxification pills on the market. I hope Fellow Daoist Hu won't cheat."
The middle-aged man agreed and turned to leave.
Han Changlu was out and the alchemy room was empty. Han Changming couldn't wait to walk into the alchemy room and prepare to refine the Wu Yue Pills.
Wu Yue Pills are made with the inner elixir of the second-level Wu Yue beast as the main ingredient, and are refined with a variety of spiritual medicines.
He took out the materials, put the inner elixir of the Wu Yue beast into the Taiyi Hualing Gourd, and purified the inner elixir.
Half a day later, Han Changming felt that it was almost ready, so he took out his inner elixir and started refining the elixir.
He took out the Vermillion Bird Furnace, made a gesture of incantation, and a large flame appeared at the bottom of the Vermillion Bird Furnace. The temperature in the alchemy room suddenly rose.
After a while, Han Changming felt that the preheating was almost done, so he threw the materials into the alchemy furnace one after another, poured in a bottle of spiritual water, and covered the cauldron with the lid.
After half a minute, a faint fragrance wafted away, with a hint of sweetness.
Han Changming snapped his ten fingers, released his spiritual sense, and carefully observed the situation inside the alchemy furnace. He saw a large area of inky liquid floating in the void.
Under the guidance of Han Changming's spiritual sense, the black liquid slowly gathered together and divided into several small pieces.
As time passed, the black liquid slowly solidified and turned into black pills. At this moment, tiny cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the black pills, and they suddenly broke into pieces. The pills scattered and turned into waste pills.
Han Changming frowned, retracted his magic spell, extinguished the flame, and a look of reminiscence appeared on his face.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Han Changming poured out the wasted pill and continued to refine the Wu Yue Pill.
With the experience of the first furnace, Han Changming was extra careful this time and successfully refined five Wu Yue Pills. The third furnace produced seven Wu Yue Pills.
With three portions of materials, he was able to refine a total of twelve Wu Yue Pills. This level of alchemy was already very good.
After refining three furnaces of pills, the sky darkened.
Han Changming contacted the middle-aged man immediately and told him the good news.
"What? It was refined so quickly? Okay, I'll be right over."
The middle-aged man was pleasantly surprised and agreed immediately.
Han Changming put away the Suzaku Furnace and Wu Yue Wan and walked out.
With the pill formula, Han Changming can continue to refine Wu Yue Pills. The tribesmen have detoxifying pills to take and do not need to purchase them from other forces, saving a lot of expenses.
When they arrived at the store, Han Changming told Ye Xin what had happened and asked her to send someone to purchase materials for refining the Wu Yue Pills.
After a cup of tea, the middle-aged man came to Guangyuanju, and Ye Xin took him to the backyard.
"How is it? How many Wu Yue Wan were refined?"
The middle-aged man asked impatiently, his face full of anticipation.
"Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission."
Han Changming took out a green porcelain bottle and handed it to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man poured out all the pills in the porcelain bottle. When he saw the twelve Wu Yue Pills, there was some surprise in his eyes. It was already very good to be able to refine five Wu Yue Pills with three portions of materials. Some second-level alchemists might not be able to refine five Wu Yue Pills even if they consumed five portions of materials.
For any kind of elixir, when the alchemist starts to refine it, the success rate is generally not high, and the number of failures varies from person to person. Alchemists with higher alchemy skills can succeed in the first batch, but such alchemists are relatively rare. If the alchemy skill is not high enough, it is not impossible to fail dozens of batches.
Of course, refining it is one thing, and whether the effect is good or not is another.
He carefully examined the twelve Wu Yue Pills. Both their appearance and smell were excellent. Now all that was missing was the effect.
He slapped the spirit beast bag on his waist, and a green light shot out, revealing a dying green giant eagle.
The giant blue eagle looked listless, its right claw was missing, and a fishy smell emanated from its body. Many of its feathers had fallen off, and it looked seriously injured.
The middle-aged man took out a Wu Yue pill and fed it to the giant blue eagle.
After the giant blue eagle took the Wu Yue Pill, its complexion gradually improved. It barely stood up and flapped its wings. Its condition was not very good, but it was much better than before.
"Great! After taking so many second-level detoxification pills, the Wu Yue Pills are still more effective."
The middle-aged man was smiling happily. He had spent a lot of energy and financial resources to train the spiritual bird to the second level. Unexpectedly, during a battle, his spiritual beast was injured by a poisonous insect. If he had not taken other detoxification pills, it would have died long ago.
"My name is Chen Hai. Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Hu. I apologize for offending you before. I hope you can forgive me and not hold it against me."
The middle-aged man bowed to Han Changming and expressed his gratitude.
He almost mistook the Bodhisattva for the King of Hell, and his spiritual bird was almost dying, but fortunately it was finally rescued.
"You are too polite, Fellow Daoist Chen. This is what I should do. If Fellow Daoist Chen needs Wu Yue Pills in the future, you can buy them from Guang Yuan Ju. If you can introduce customers to us, that would be even better. If Fellow Daoist Chen knows a fellow Daoist who needs to make pills for him, you can recommend me to him."
Han Changming said with a smile that Chen Hai had reached the middle stage of foundation building, and judging from his attire, he was most likely a casual cultivator, perhaps a casual cultivator who went out to sea to hunt monsters. If he could use Chen Hai's power to expand Guangyuanju's business, that would be great.
Immortal cultivators practice different techniques and need to take different elixirs. Of course, some elixirs are universal, but some elixirs are special and can only be used by cultivators who practice specific techniques. Han Changming hopes to get a few more second-level elixir recipes.
Chen Hai was about to answer when a sharp hissing sound came from his arms. He took out a palm-sized green jade plate with a mini green carving pattern on the surface. The jade plate kept making a sharp hissing sound.
He entered a spell, and a pleasant female voice suddenly sounded: "How is it? Chen Hai, how is your spiritual bird? I am hosting a banquet for a few Taoist friends, one of whom is a second-level alchemist. Do you want to come over? Maybe I can heal your spiritual bird."
Chen Hai was about to refuse, but suddenly he thought of something, changed his tone, and said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
His spiritual bird was too deeply poisoned. It would be best if a second-level alchemist could help take a look.
"Fairy Hongchen?" Han Changming's mind moved. He had not been in the market for long, but the name of Fairy Hongchen was well-known to him.
The demon hunting team led by Fairy Hongchen is quite famous. Of course, the descendants of Master Jinlong are pursuing Fairy Hongchen, and this is regarded as a good story.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, are you from the Red Dust Monster Hunting Team? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
Han Changming asked curiously.
"Haha, I forgot to introduce you. It's not too late for Fellow Daoist Hu to know now! Fellow Daoist Hu, are you interested in attending the banquet with Chen? Fairy Hongchen likes to explain to friends. She has some strange second-level pill recipes. As for whether you can get the recipes from Fairy Hongchen, it depends on your ability."
Chen Hai invited enthusiastically in a warm tone.
Regardless of whether the Wu Yue Pills could clear the poison from the spirit bird's body, the fact that the other party could use three portions of materials to refine twelve Wu Yue Pills showed that his alchemy skills were not bad.
Han Changming was more than happy to accept the offer and agreed readily. The two of them left Guangyuanju and headed towards their destination.
In a private room on the fifth floor of the Golden Dragon Tower, three men and two women gathered together, drinking tea and chatting. One of the women was the Red Dust Fairy.
The leader was a Taoist priest in a green robe with a fair face. He had an indifferent look, as if he was keeping people at a distance.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, the spirit bird of one of our Red Dust Demon Hunting Team members was poisoned. He has taken many detoxifying pills but has not recovered. I hope you can help take a look."
Fairy Hongchen asked politely, with a hint of flattery in her tone.
She didn't dare to neglect the other party. Putting aside his identity, he was a second-rank top-grade alchemist with a very high level of alchemy skills. He did have the capital to be arrogant.
"For the sake of Fairy Hongchen, I will reluctantly take a look!"
The green-robed Taoist priest's tone was indifferent.
