Chapter 37: Entrusted with Alchemy

"Fellow Daoist Luo, you came at the right time. This is the guest fee for this month."

Xi Wenyou smiled and handed him fifty low-grade spiritual stones, then handed him a pill recipe and said.

"Yesterday, a fellow Daoist Duan came to entrust us with elixir refining. I think you are the only one who can make this elixir with confidence. The level is not low. Take a look."

Yu Changsheng took it and looked at it, a little surprised.

"Demon-dispersing Yuan Dan, a second-level middle-grade pill, can be made into three pills in one furnace. Each pill contains a secret. It can be thrown out to detonate the medicinal properties in the pill through spiritual consciousness, and the demon who smells the medicinal properties The beast will lose its demonic power within a few minutes and be slaughtered by others, and it will not regain its demonic power until half a day later."

"This elixir is a bit interesting. It's an elixir, but it's better to say it's a one-time magic weapon. It's similar to the Thunder Bead, but it's mainly aimed at monsters."

He raised his head and asked: "Can this elixir be effective against second-level monsters?"

"Yes, I asked other alchemists to study it. Hitting a first-level monster will dissipate the demon power within a few minutes, and it will also cause a coma, while a second-level monster will calculate it based on the amount of medicine it has absorbed. It usually takes more than ten minutes. It will happen."

"However, it is very difficult to refine it. Even a second-level alchemist cannot guarantee that it will become an elixir. Fellow Taoist Duan brought two sets of materials and asked for at least two elixirs to be made. The rest can be owned by the alchemist, and the cost of refining the elixir will be paid. Eight hundred low-grade spiritual stones!”

Xi Wenyou took out the materials and explained to Yu Changsheng in detail: "If the refining fails, my first-grade medicine hall will pay him two hundred lower-grade spiritual stones. If it succeeds, I will give my fellow Taoist five hundred lower-grade spiritual stones. How about it?"

Yu Changsheng smiled with interest and said: "This fellow Daoist Duan wants to use this elixir to capture the second-level monster, and he is so heroic."

"Okay, I'll take this order and I'll give you a reply within a week."

Xi Wenyou said with a joyful expression: "Then I wish fellow Taoist success in refining the elixir!"

"Well, this is the Spirit-enhancing Pill that was refined recently, and it's still a pill quality. Please help me change it to five sets of materials."

"good!"

Soon, Yu Changsheng returned to the wooden house from the Yipin Medicine Hall.

"I've never seen this demon-dispersing Yuan Dan before. It must be difficult to refine, plus it's expensive."

"If it can be refined in large quantities, I believe many casual cultivators will buy it, and the number of first- and second-level monsters in Yufang City will also increase."

"I can even use this elixir myself to capture suitable monsters."

He studied the elixir recipe and found that the most critical and difficult part was to leave a primer inside the elixir so that his consciousness could unleash the medicinal properties inside.

"The person who made this elixir recipe is also a talented person. He actually used the God of Pregnancy Mimosa as an introduction. I don't know if the monster poisoned by this drug can be detoxified with the detoxification elixir."

"With my current level of second-level alchemy, it is difficult to refine it. However, the three-fire alchemy technique is the most stable and has the highest success rate among many alchemy techniques. As long as I refine it slowly, there is still hope of becoming an elixir."

"Let's ask the master for his opinion tomorrow. It's best to understand the next stage of "quietness"."

Now, Yu Changsheng has mastered the essence of "slowness", but he only has a little sense of the next stage, "quietness", and it will take some time to realize it.

The next day, it was time for private lessons in the Alchemy Hall.

There were only Yu Changsheng and Gongsun Yang in the alchemy room.

In order to protect Yu Changsheng, Gongsun Yang never revealed his talent in alchemy outside, because he was just a handyman disciple now, and he was only at the fifth level of Qi refining. His reputation was too great and he would easily attract hatred, and he would eventually die somewhere.

Therefore, Gongsun Yang kept a low profile. Even Tang Xing, the disciple who broke into the family, did not know what Yu Changsheng's ability was in alchemy.

"The Demon Dispelling Yuan Dan, well, it should be a prescription created by a certain third-level alchemist. The effect is fine, but it is not realistic to produce and sell it in large quantities because the price is too high."

"Disciple, think about it, these materials plus the refining cost alone are more than a thousand low-grade spiritual stones. Moreover, it is very difficult to create an elixir. Even other third-level alchemy masters may not be able to achieve it."

"After the elixir is completed, you can sell it for a thousand low-grade spiritual stones?"

"If there is no profit three times greater, why refine it?"

"So this elixir is a special elixir after all, just a small toy. If other casual cultivators have this kind of money, they might as well just buy the corpse of a second-level monster, which only costs a thousand spiritual stones."

Gongsun Yang was very careful and said patiently: "Of course, it's not bad if you use it for yourself. At least it can save your life when you encounter a second-level monster outside."

Yu Changsheng nodded. It was true that he couldn't sell it to those poor casual cultivators. No wonder he had never heard of similar elixirs outside. The market was too small, so it would be better for him to make money by refining the elixir.

"Okay, let's start refining the elixir. My master will teach you how to refine this elixir. You will control the fire beside me to assist and gradually take over. If there is something wrong, my master will control the fire and correct it in time."

Gongsun Yang used one hand to trigger it, and flames rose from under the alchemy furnace in front of him.

Yu Changsheng closed his eyes, made secrets, and controlled the fire.

Under the alchemy furnace, the fire gradually increased, and various materials were put into the furnace.

Just when it was about to turn into a fire, Gongsun Yang lowered the fire with a single tap and spoke slowly.

"Slow down, be still, and don't rush."

"The mind has no distracting thoughts and remains calm."

Yu Changsheng's consciousness became silent and his whole body relaxed.

He could clearly feel the temperature of the flames, and the shape of the elixir seemed to appear in front of his eyes.

The originally swaying fire was stabilized under his calm control.

In response, Gongsun Yang narrowed his eyes and was secretly frightened.

"My apprentice's talent is really terrible. After just over a month of teaching, he has already begun to understand the feeling of "quiet". If he is given another two or three months, he will probably be able to understand it."

"Looking back to the past, it took me five years to understand it. There is really no comparison between people."

Thinking of it, Gongsun Yang laughed again.

Such an excellent alchemy genius is his apprentice. If the master knew about it, he would probably laugh out loud.

The three-fire alchemy technique can finally be passed down.

Soon, one day later.

"Stop the fire and make the pill!"

As Gongsun Yang shouted, Yu Changsheng pinched his fingers and swept the alchemy furnace, and the flames went out, revealing three pills emitting black light.

"The demon-dispersing pill is successful!"

Yu Changsheng stood up with a happy face. He didn't expect that he could succeed in one go, and the progress of the second-level alchemy has also increased by nearly a hundred.

As expected, having a master to teach hand in hand is extraordinary.

He couldn't wait to pick up a demon-dispersing pill and take a look. It was indeed mysterious. His spiritual sense could sense the trigger inside, and the medicinal properties could be exploded as long as it was stimulated.

"Master, this pill should be harmless to humans, right?" Yu Changsheng looked at Gongsun Yang and asked.

Gongsun Yang laughed dumbly and said, "You think this is a knockout drug? Don't worry, it is ineffective on humans, only effective on demon beasts."

As he said that, he suddenly remembered Yu Changsheng's identity as a beastmaster, and hesitated, "However, if this pill is used in a battle with a beastmaster, it should also make the contracted spirit pet lose its combat effectiveness."

"You have to be careful about this, and don't hit your own spirit pet when using it."

Yu Changsheng nodded with sudden enlightenment: "Disciple remembers, thank you for the master's guidance."

Gongsun Yang smiled and said, "Take a break and refine the second furnace."
