Family cultivation of immortality: from Fairy Cat Valley to the Nine Divine Realms

"No." Zhang Xuan shook his head.

"The law of refining 10,000 pills means that an alchemist refines pills of the same grade as his cultivation level. For example, a Qi-refining alchemist refines a first-grade pill, a foundation-building alchemist refines a second-grade pill, and a golden pill alchemist refines a third-grade pill. If an alchemist hone his alchemy skills every day and tries to refine 10,000 furnaces, he will most likely be able to refine a golden pill."

"What about the Thousand Laws?"

"The so-called Thousand Laws means that if an alchemist refines a pill of the same grade as his cultivation level and tries to refine it a thousand times, even if he is stupid, he will be able to master the method of refining this kind of pill."

"One thousand furnaces will advance you to a higher-grade alchemist, and ten thousand furnaces will advance you to a golden elixir alchemist. But 1000 furnaces is still easier."

"That's exactly what I'm saying. Danguang City has few high-level spiritual medicines, but many low-level spiritual medicines. That's why some cultivators are willing to spend 10 times more time to master the method of refining golden elixirs. The third-level spiritual medicines in the holy land are abundant and easy to obtain, so cultivators choose to advance directly to the third level instead of stopping to refine golden elixirs."

"Since it is easy to advance by refining 10,000 or 1,000 furnaces, why are there so few alchemists who can refine golden elixirs or third-level elixirs?"

"Easily advance?!" Xu Anming blew his beard and glared, "The one thousand and ten thousand laws of alchemy I just mentioned are only extreme cases. Alchemy consumes a lot of spiritual consciousness and energy. Many alchemists have to rest for ten days to a month to refine a furnace of pills of the same grade. To advance to the next level, refining 1000 furnaces of pills, that's about 500 months, a full fifty years. Which cultivator is willing to spend fifty years pursuing a small level of advancement in alchemy? Not to mention the golden elixir. Therefore, anyone who can become an alchemist is a person with outstanding alchemy talent. Many alchemists advance directly after refining 100 furnaces."

Zhang Xuan was enlightened after hearing this.

During the Qi Refining Stage, he refined first-grade pills, and basically could refine several batches every day.

The reason for this is that his spiritual awareness and spiritual power at that time were far beyond those of his peers.

If an ordinary Qi-refining cultivator wants to refine a furnace of first-level elixirs, it will indeed take him ten days to half a month to recover his Qi.

Of course, if it is in the late stage of Qi Refining or has Qi-recovering pills to supplement, it will probably only take a few days to recover.

The spiritual energy consumed by the second-level elixir exceeds the capacity of the foundation-building cultivator. It still takes a lot of time for the foundation-building cultivator to recover his energy to refine one furnace.

The same is true for third-level elixirs for Jindan cultivators.

Therefore, only a few people with outstanding talents can achieve the upgrade of alchemy grade with very few resources and eventually become alchemists.

However, Zhang Xuan is an outlier.

First, he had the Twelve Heavenly Sound Diagrams to help him advance, and he could refine third-order lower-grade elixirs 100% without failure, which allowed him to win directly at the starting line.

Secondly, his spiritual consciousness and true energy are far superior to those of his peers, enough to support him in refining large quantities of pills for a long time.

Third, he was once a disciple of Jimao Taoist, who later grew up to be an alchemy immortal. He served as his fire-burning boy for three years and learned a lot of profound alchemy skills and knowledge from him.

Zhang Xuan suddenly understood.

"Since there are so many advantages, as long as I refine 10,000 furnaces of third-level elixirs, I can master the first-turn third-level golden elixir. If I refine 10,000 furnaces of first-turn third-level golden elixir, then can I refine the second-turn third-level golden elixir? And so on, maybe one day, I will be able to refine the ninth-turn golden elixir."

Henry Zhang was excited when he thought of this.

Xu Anming on the side naturally didn't know what Zhang Xuan was thinking.

Even if I knew, I would still call him a lunatic.

Even if his spiritual awareness and true energy far surpassed those of his peers, how could he have so many third-level elixirs for him to refine?

Zhang Xuan doesn't have to worry, because he has a meditation space with 60 golden fields. The third-level spiritual medicine in it will mature within a year.

He has accumulated a lot of main ingredients needed to refine third-level pills.

As for first-order and second-order auxiliary medicines, there are even more.

"If I refine it for a few thousand more furnaces, wouldn't I be able to refine a second-level third-order golden elixir?"

Zhang Xuan felt excited when he thought of this, and immediately returned to the private room to meditate again.

"The captain is the captain. He comes out of seclusion to just sit on the deck and enjoy the breeze, and then goes back to seclusion again." Xu Anming felt quite emotional as he watched the captain's back as he left.

Return to the private room.

Zhang Xuan immediately began to plan.

"For me, the most important elixir at present is to replenish qi and blood, spirit and soul, and true essence. The most commonly used ones on the market are qi and blood Xuantian elixir, Zhenghun Xiaoqi elixir, and Zhenyuan Dahuan elixir. Moreover, these three third-level elixirs have already been refined into first-level golden elixir, and they can be refined into second-level golden elixir or even third-level golden elixir in one go."

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan's eyes were filled with heat.

You know, even a third-level first-level golden elixir can have some effect on Nascent Soul cultivators.

If you refine a third-level, second-turn golden elixir, you can then temper it into a third-turn golden elixir through the Taiqing Creation Diagram.

The miraculous effect is simply unimaginable.

"Now I need some pills to replenish my true essence, so I'll start by refining the Second Transformation True Essence Great Returning Golden Pill."

He directly took out the fourth-level strange fire.

A naive child, his whole face was thin, and he kept mumbling: "I eat Guo (fruit), I eat Guo (fruit)..."

Zhang Xuan felt distressed when he saw the Strange Fire Doll’s thinner face.

The consumption of refining the Zhenghun Xiaoqi Golden Pill and Zhenyuan Dahuan Golden Pill some time ago was indeed not small.

After refining the pill, he forgot about feeding the strange fire doll with spiritual fruit.

"Poor kid, it's all my fault, it's all my fault."

Zhang Xuan hugged the strange fire doll and placed it on his lap.

More than four months have passed, and the first-level and second-level fire-attribute spiritual fruits in the meditation space have matured. The newly planted third-level fire-attribute spiritual fruits in the golden field will take another half year to mature.

He directly picked a few first-level and second-level fire-attribute spiritual fruits.

The strange fire doll was overjoyed when he saw so many fire-attributed spiritual fruits, and he grabbed some and started eating them.

Until all the ripe first-level and second-level fire-attribute spiritual fruits in the meditation space are eaten again.

The strange fire doll finally stopped.

After eating these fire-attributed spiritual fruits, Zhang Xuan discovered that the thin face of the strange fire doll became fuller.

However, the strange fire doll still tugged at the corner of Zhang Xuan's clothes with its chubby little hands, and kept muttering, "I eat the pot (fruit), I eat the pot (fruit)..."

Henry Zhang comforted him, “Help me refine a few furnaces of pills first, and then I’ll let you eat the fruit.”

The strange fire doll had no choice but to get into the fourth-level Three Elements Strange Fire again.

Zhang Xuan activated the magic power of divine wings, and the cauldron in his dantian appeared.

Add spiritual water.

The Three Elements Strange Fire began to boil under the giant cauldron.

The main ingredients for refining the Zhenyuan Dahuan Pill and dozens of auxiliary ingredients were added in turn.

He was familiar with the process and boiled the Zhenyuan Dahuan Dan into a thick medicinal paste.
