On the second floor of the alchemy room, there is an exclusive alchemy room for young masters and young ladies.
Bang!
Black smoke rose.
Lu Bei dug out the black mud from the furnace, washed it clean, took a deep breath, and began his first elixir-making experience which was of great significance to him.
The last time doesn’t count, let’s try the quality of the alchemy furnace.
The result was not satisfactory. The white quality of the public area caused his whole batch of high-quality Qi Ling Pills to become waste.
Opening his personal panel, Lu Bei spent 10 skill points and mastered the recipe and refining steps of the "Qi Ling Dan" in the blink of an eye.
The reason why I chose the 'Spirit Awakening Pill' instead of the 'Blood Replenishing Pill' or the 'Qi Condensing Pill' was not to save the last 10 skill points for emergencies. 10 skill points are too few and it is impossible to learn anything.
This choice is made based on cost-effectiveness. Refining the Spirit-awakening Pill takes the shortest time and consumes the cheapest materials. Over time, the most experience will be gained.
"Let's start the real first time refining the elixir."
Lu Bei held his breath and operated the furnace skillfully. Soon, a faint fragrance wafted from the furnace, and the Qi Ling Pill was about to be refined.
Bang!
The aroma disappeared in an instant, and black smoke rose up, announcing the failure of refining.
"Damn it, it's the white quality that's ruining me again!" Lu Bei had a sour face. He hated the white quality the most.
Failure is not unexpected, it can even be said to be reasonable.
He only learned how to refine the Qi Ling Pill through skill points, and he had no skills or techniques in alchemy. Every time he refined a batch of Qi Ling Pills, the chances of producing high-quality pills were 10%, finished pills were 40%, and waste pills were 50%.
This is because the Qi Ling Pill is easy to make and is one of the easiest pills to refine.
On the second floor of the alchemy room, next to the Mo Yu alchemy room where Lu Bei is, there is basic alchemy knowledge written by the Huangji Sect's alchemy master. After learning it, the success rate of alchemy can be greatly improved.
Lu Bei is currently unable to learn it as the minimum skill points are 50. He can only gain experience by refining the Spirit Awakening Pill first, and then start learning after his total level goes up and he has enough skill points.
Of course, he can also improve Lin Bohai's friendship, help out, and let the master take him flying.
Lu Bei had no such idea. Firstly, it was a waste of time, and secondly, he was ashamed to continue to flatter others.
It’s okay to hug Senior Sister Bai and Senior Sister Zhu’s thighs, after all, they are fragrant and soft, but Lin Bohai’s thighs…
Men should be independent and strong!
Ten minutes later, the first batch of Qi Ling Dan that had been completely deleted came out of the furnace. Lu Bei scraped out the white Dan mud and placed it on the coffee table to cool.
Senior alchemists who have received systematic training have matching skills and can shape the elixir mud while taking it out. Lu Bei has nothing and can only roll it into a ball manually.
Fortunately, the problem is not serious. There are tools in the Mo Yu Alchemy Room. They look similar to the ice box molds in the refrigerator and are used in much the same way.
Eleven Qi Ling Pills were put into the bottle, but due to the loss during the molding process, there was one pill missing from the standard of twelve.
[You have completed an alchemy. After the level and quality of the elixir are determined, you will gain 100 experience points. This is your first real alchemy, and you will gain an additional 2,000 experience points.]
“Great!”
Lu Bei's eyes lit up, and he used 2,100 experience points to upgrade his overall level.
Level: 4
Experience: 1450/1800
Increasing the level does not bring direct increase in attributes. Information prompts: Free attribute point +1, skill point +50.
"Very good, that's a good start. I'll save the 50 skill points first. When I have 100 skill points, I'll study the basics of alchemy." Lu Bei rubbed his hands and stretched them towards the white alchemy furnace.
An hour later, five bottles of Qiling Pills were lined up on the coffee table. Lu Bei briefly admired the fruits of his labor and began to upgrade impatiently.
Level: 5
Experience: 50/3200
Information prompt: accumulated 4 free attribute points, 110 skill points.
Lu Bei washed his hands and found Lin Bohai who was drinking tea. He expressed his desire to learn advanced knowledge of alchemy. The latter did not think much about it, took out a bunch of keys, and took him to the warehouse where the basic knowledge of alchemy was stored.
Because it is elementary knowledge, there is no confidentiality at all. Maybe it is a treasure to the poor people in Jiuzhu Mountain, but to the wealthy and talented Huangji Sect, it is just a popular science textbook circulated at the grassroots level.
Lu Bei searched through the bookshelves in the warehouse one by one and chose a book called [Emperor's Pill-raising Technique] which required 80 skill points to learn.
How to evaluate the quality of a practice
A common method used by players is to check how many skill points are needed to learn this skill. The more skill points are consumed, the higher the upper limit.
But there are exceptions. After all, there are all kinds of people in the field of immortal cultivation, and many of them write books to dig holes. It is common that the books are profound and extensive in the early days, but it is common to make poor appendages in the later days.
Some players successfully entered the pit based on their experience and were so angry that they thanked the author's ancestors for eight generations. Some players took small risks to get big, and happily thanked the author's ancestors.
Generally speaking, the skills that require a lot of skill points and experience in the early stages are generally not that bad.
[Emperor Pill Nourishing Technique Lv1 (0/100)]
Lu Bei consumed 80 skill points and learned the [Emperor Pill Nourishing Technique] in one second, but in the eyes of his companion Lin Bohai, he just flipped two pages and finished it.
As expected, the young masters of wealthy families all have the same arrogant problem.
Lin Bohai shook his head secretly, locked the warehouse door, and went back to continue drinking tea.
The main reason for learning the art of making pills was the stimulation of gaining experience. Lu Bei was addicted to making pills and couldn't extricate himself. He quickly said goodbye to Lin Bohai and returned to the Mo Yu Alchemy Room to begin his journey of gaining experience.
In the later stages, the experience gained from refining the Spirit Awakening Pill is a drop in the bucket for players, but in the early stages, especially for novice players who have not yet entered the stage of cultivation, every bit of experience is hard-earned.
Lu Bei vaguely remembered that his LSP boss had mentioned that when the server was first launched, players realized that the alchemy room was equivalent to the experience room, and they flocked to the various headquarters of the Huangji Sect, willing to work for free and not asking for food and lodging.
As a result, they were treated as troublemakers, half of them were thrown into a small dark room, and the other half were beaten and fled in fear.
[Emperor Pill Cultivation Technique Lv2 (500/500)]
[Emperor's Pill Cultivation Technique Lv3 (2000/2000)]
[Emperor Pill Nourishing Technique Lv4 (0/8000)]
Spirit +1, Endurance +1, Spirit +1, Endurance…
Except for a little time lost at noon because he was dragged away by Zhu Yan to have lunch, Lu Bei spent the whole day refining the Qi Ling Dan to gain experience. He successfully raised the skill of Huangji Yangdan Yaoshu to level 4 and started a new secondary profession.
Alchemist Lv1 (0/100)
Alchemists, like farmers, are basic secondary professions that can be upgraded or transformed.
Unlike farmers who can transform into branch professions such as animal husbandry, fishery, and miners, alchemists are closer to the immortal cultivation system and will be transformed into senior alchemists, masters, and grand masters after reaching the maximum level.
The same applies to refining weapons and formations.
These three are secondary professions that are highly valued by both NPCs and players, and they accompany almost everyone throughout their lives.
Because these three secondary professions have great potential and the greatest impact on the main profession, they almost determine the nurse, field control, attacker, tank, etc., so they are listed separately. When players are doing tasks, they can form a temporary team based on the main attack direction and characteristics of each member, which increases the diversity of the game.
By the way, because of my teammates, the beautiful C language has also become a profound subject.
When talking about secondary occupations, we have to mention the three most basic secondary occupations - scholar, farmer, worker and businessman.
The merchant sub-profession is just a filler, and only big guilds can play it. Ordinary players just need to think about it. The other three sub-professions have many branches, which can also affect the main profession, and can even add bonuses to elixirs, weapons, formations and special skills.
For example, the farmer's branch is the pharmacist, the craftsman's branch is the blacksmith and painter, the scholar's branch is the spy and general, etc., all of which can unlock hidden sub-professions after reaching the maximum level.
When it comes to choosing a secondary career, there was once a small group of players who did something that shocked the entire server, and the forum was flooded with posts about it.
Among the branches of scholars, an extremely secretive and ancient profession was discovered - eunuch.
Although the job change method is extremely simple, just enter the palace and castrate, but...
I can only say that they are worthy of being players, the veritable fourth disaster. No matter how deep the hidden profession is hidden, it cannot defeat their imagination.
