Chapter 50: Progress in Cold Eyes
Li Fei said: "I would like to ask some questions about alchemy."
Liu Yun looked puzzled and replied cautiously: "I have no talent for alchemy, so I have not studied it in depth. I can still answer common sense questions, but I can't do anything if I have a little in-depth questions."
Li Fei nodded and said, "The first question is the impact of the quality of the alchemy cauldron and the elixir on alchemy refining; the second question is how to increase the number of alchemy refining at one time; the third question is whether there are systematic alchemy learning materials in our sect, including alchemy recipes and so on."
Liu Yun breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "These questions are common sense issues in alchemy, and I still know that. Generally speaking, the alchemy cauldron determines the quality of the elixir. In other words, the elixir at the ‘human’ level can only be used to refine medium-grade elixirs. The elixir at the ‘earth’ level can basically be used to refine various elixirs according to the quality; the elixir furnace determines the level of elixir refining. Those below the innocence stage can basically be met by the primary alchemy room."
Liu Yun took a sip of spiritual tea and continued: "As for the number of alchemy refining at one time, it is also determined by the quality of the alchemy, but the difference is very big. The upper limit is not clear, but generally speaking, the number corresponding to the three grades of heaven, earth, and man is estimated to be between tens of thousands and dozens. As for the information, our sect has also appeared in the past. Although it has declined to be worth mentioning, the information is found in the Sutra Pavilion, and the elders of the outer sect can freely check it."
Li Fei was quite satisfied after listening to the senior brother's answer. His speculation a while ago was correct. The quality of the alchemy cauldron determines the quality of the elixir produced, but he didn't expect that the number gap was so big.
Taking out two jade bottles, one big and one small, Li Fei said to Liu Yun: "Thank you, Senior Brother, for your answer! After joining the sect, I did not make any contribution to the sect, but I have made a lot of trouble. I have gained a little bit of elixir recently. Even if I have a little intention of these two bottles of elixirs, I will do my best."
Liu Yun showed a surprised expression, took two jade bottles and checked them out, and said happily: "The Thirteenth Junior Brother is really talented! In just a few years, he not only successfully refined a large number of spiritual transformation pills, but also refined a medium-grade spiritual transformation pill. It's amazing!"
Li Fei said humbly: "The elder brother has been awarded. I have experienced many failures before I can achieve a little success. Is the chance of refining medium-grade spiritual pills very low?"
Liu Yun sighed: "The elixirs above the middle grade appear randomly. Although it is related to the quality of the alchemy cauldron, it is not possible to refine high-quality elixirs with high-quality elixirs. As far as I know, Gu Mei from Nanfeng also has a good talent for alchemy. In the first few decades when she started practicing the alchemy, she had not refined the elixirs above the middle grade! Are you not difficult?"
Li Fei was surprised and asked in confusion: "Is it really that difficult? I just used the "human"-level alchemy tripod to refine the spiritual transformation pill, and its quality is only at the "human" level. I dare not say that the medium-grade spiritual transformation pill can appear every time, but it is still possible to appear twice or three times."
Liu Yun said in disbelief: "Impossible! I firmly believe that even the alchemist of the Danji Sect may not be able to do this success rate! Not to mention a novice..."
Li Fei knew from Liu Yun's expression that what he said was probably true. While shocked, he also realized that his luck was indeed too good and did not know whether it could last: "Senior Brother, it may be because my alchemy time was too short and the amount of refining was relatively limited. It was just an accidental 'character' explosion."
Liu Yun nodded, shook his head again, and finally said uncertainly: "According to common sense, the probability of the occurrence of medium-grade or above elixirs is relatively low, so it will lead to the price of the same elixir. Medium-grade elixirs are more than several times that of low-grade elixirs. As for the 'character' you mentioned, it is also possible, but if you often have 'character explosions', it is not just a matter of character, it should be related to talent and level."
Because the time for alchemy was too short, Li Fei could not confirm what the situation was. He said indifferently: "Senior Brother, we don't need to guess. Anyway, I will continue to refine alchemy. I will naturally know whether it is luck. If there is nothing else, I will say goodbye first."
Liu Yun thought about it and felt that Li Fei was right. Facts were better than words. Seeing that Li Fei was about to leave again, he reminded him: "Zirteenth Junior Brother, I have accepted the elixir you sent, and I will allocate it reasonably. I hope you can achieve greater achievements in the alchemy path. I heard that you want to buy a 'earth' level alchemy tripod, so I suggest you go to Wanhua Sect. Although they are not good at elixir refining, many of them are good at refining weapons. In addition, your elder Fenglu has never received it. If you don't use it, you can get it to the people around you."
Li Fei thought for a moment and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother, then I will let Sisi come and collect it in the future. Do you need to ask her to bring the token?"
Liu Yun replied casually: "No, I just need to know."
Li Fei said goodbye to the senior brother. He just left the senior brother's cave and had not walked far away when he met Senior Brother Eight and greeted enthusiastically: "Senior Brother Eight, long time no see."
Hu Fang just said "hmm" and headed towards Liu Yun's cave without stopping!...
Li Fei sighed in his heart and rushed to the Sutra Pavilion. The Sutra Pavilion is located on the top of the main peak, just opposite to the residence of the Sect Master Lingyun, and is located on a small mountain to the west.
As soon as he entered the Sutra Pavilion, Li Fei felt a fragrance of books coming towards him and found that there were pens and inks of masters from various generations on all pillars, and there were many stone tablets in the yard, which recorded the general experiences of powerful men in previous dynasties and some famous sayings and aphorisms that encourage future disciples.
Li Fei browsed roughly for a while and felt that the actual effect was not great, so he walked towards the main hall of the Sutra Pavilion. When he arrived at the door of the main hall of the Sutra Pavilion, Li Fei saw a familiar figure, the old man in white who had given Li Fei the spirit stones, was sitting on the jade chair at the door reading a book.
Since the last time I saw his superb wind escape technique, Li Fei has a deep impression of him. After inquiring, he knew that this was a master of the late stage of foundation building and one of the law enforcement elders. Li Fei said politely: "I'm disturbing fellow Taoist. I am Li Fei. I want to go to the main hall of the Sutra Pavilion to check the information about alchemy."
The old man in white yawned weakly, threw a token to Li Fei, and said without raising his head: "The last row of the third floor is, be careful not to damage any information. In addition, you can't go up to the third floor or above."
Li Fei didn't care, so he took the token, thanked him, and entered the main hall. The first floor of the main hall covers a very wide area, dozens of feet in a radius, like a huge museum with various bookshelfs, countless books of various materials and jade slips.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Fei decided not to rush to the third floor and browse it on the first floor first. It is of no use to other cultivators, and may be of great use to himself.
Li Fei stayed for half a year! Except for taking the Spirit-Cultivation Pill, he spent all his time browsing various ancient books and jade slips.
The amount of information was so large that Li Fei saw everything except at the beginning. Later, the same type was just selected and carefully looked at it. It was just like this, and it was a bit unbearable, but the gain was huge, which was quite popularized when it came to the cultivation knowledge.
When Li Fei browsed in the sea of books, he had completely forgotten that he was from the earth. He drifted all the way from the ancient world of cultivation, felt the changes in the ancient world of cultivation, felt the excitement and helplessness of ancient cultivators, and until the formation of the contemporary world of cultivation. Influenced by previous archaeological research, Li Fei almost didn't want to leave this "archaeological treasure house"!
The old man in white didn't care about Li Fei, but found that Li Fei could stay on the first floor for half a year. He was very curious and observed for a while, and was speechless because he found that a considerable part of the content Li Fei looked at had little to do with cultivation. Finally, he couldn't help but remind him: "Don't you want to read information related to alchemy? Why don't you stay on the first floor?"
The reminder of the old man in white made Li Fei stunned and asked in confusion: "Have I been on the first floor for a long time?"
The old man in white was speechless again, and finally said angrily: "It's been half a year! Do you know that you don't have spiritual roots and are you going to be an archaeological expert?"
Li Fei replied seriously: "Fellow Taoist is really amazing. I am a person who studies archaeology. Do you know this?"
The old man in white rolled his eyes and turned into a gust of wind and disappeared...
After the old man in white interrupted, Li Fei decided to put away his desire to continue researching first, or do the important thing first. It is not too late to come back to study when he reaches the limit of cultivation.
When Li Fei came to the second floor, he found that not only the area was much smaller, but the display inside was also greatly reduced, which seemed very empty. After a little browsing, he found that it was all kinds of martial arts and secret techniques, but they were all relatively low-level ones.
It took about half a day to go to the third floor after a rough understanding. Li Fei did not waste his time on the first floor. At least he had a broader knowledge and his horizons naturally improved. He had a certain ability to distinguish the value of various martial arts and secret techniques.
The third floor is even smaller, only more than ten feet in a radius, so there are naturally fewer items, and there are many more restrictions, which can only be opened with tokens. There are more than a dozen areas in total, including the alchemy area that Li Fei is looking for, as well as the martial arts area, secret arts area, weapon refining area, talisman building area, beast control area, formation area, witchcraft area, etc. Some names are very strange, and Li Fei doesn't know what he is doing.
In order to save time, Li Fei did not check it out one by one, but went directly to the alchemy area to start carefully looking for useful information.
A month later, Li Fei completed the screening of alchemy materials and backed up some of the ones that were particularly important, especially some alchemy recipes, which were copied without missing a single leak.
Through comparison, Li Fei first realized the preciousness of the jade slips obtained from the Master Lingyun. Although it only recorded some preliminary preparations, the theories, techniques and techniques described in it were incomparable to these classics obtained now, and its real value can be said to be incalculable!
Of course, it is not to say that the experiences of these Lingyun Sect’s alchemy predecessors are useless to Li Fei. On the contrary, they are extremely useful, because they can complement each other: one is strict preliminary preparations, and the other is to focus on the later refining process.
After sorting out his experience in alchemy, Li Fei thought about it for a moment, took out dozens of jade slips, and selected several good-looking jade slips in each area and copied them in case they were free of charge for learning and research.
Finally, Li Fei looked upstairs, shook his head, went downstairs directly, handed over the token at the door to the old man in white, and left the Sutra Pavilion.
The old man in white looked at Li Fei's back and said to himself: "I know that he has no spiritual roots. Not only did he not give up, but he still worked so hard. It's quite interesting! Did Elder Ouyang misunderstand the truth..."
It was evening when Li Fei came out of the Sutra Pavilion. He read a large amount of historical documents on the first floor and understood the historical evolution of the world of cultivation. Li Fei seemed to be infected with a trace of historical vicissitudes, and his heart was peaceful, and even his unwillingness became vague.
While halfway up the mountain, Li Fei met the Sect Master Lingyun who had returned from out. Li Fei greeted respectfully and said, "Hello, Master."
The leader of Lingyun showed a hint of surprise and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just shook his head and sighed, waved his hand, and went straight to the top of the peak...
Li Fei's heart was only slightly volatile, he quickly left the main peak, and then rushed to the market of the sect.
After arriving at the market, Li Fei soon found the "Hualing Pill Store" not far from the entrance of the street. In addition to the store name above the store, there is also a picture on the left and right: Hualing Pills sold flat and high-collect raw materials.
When Li Fei arrived at the store, he found Sisi and Xiaohui were about to close the door, and shouted: "Hi, two beauties and customers, are you closing the door?"
