Everlasting

The messenger eagle is a first-class spiritual bird purchased by the family from the Lingguo Bird Control Pavilion. This eagle has some understanding of human nature and can travel three thousand miles a day. It is usually used by Qingyuan Mountain as a medium to communicate with other parts of the family.

This time the messenger eagle came to Linghuzhou, obviously because the family had something to send a message to him.

Chen Nianzhi took out a handful of spiritual rice to feed the messenger eagle, and then found a letter from its paw.

After reading it, his expression moved slightly, showing a little joy.

"Looks like I have to go back to Qingyuan Mountain."

Early the next morning, Chen Nianzhi tidied up, left Linghu Continent to let the formation activate on its own, and headed for Qingyuan Mountain.

Only five days later, he arrived at Qingyuan Mountain. The third elder, Chen Qinghao, showed joy when he saw him.

"Okay, okay, okay." He held Chen Nianzhi's hand and looked very excited: "Your cultivation progress is even more amazing than Qingyuan."

"Thirteenth uncle is too praised."

Chen Nianzhi said humbly that Chen Qinghao ranked thirteenth in the Qing generation, so Chen Nianzhi usually called him Thirteenth Uncle.

"Compared to Uncle Qingyuan, I'm still far behind."

The seventh elder, Chen Qingyuan, has been a member of the Qingyang Sect for a long time. He is now thirty-four years old and his cultivation is said to have touched the threshold of foundation building.

If the Qingyang Sect monks exchanged the Foundation Establishment Pill internally, each pill only cost 10,000 contribution points, which was equivalent to 10,000 spirit stones. It was much more promising than the Chen family spending tens of thousands of spirit stones to buy one pill.

And because of the cause and effect left behind sixty years ago, Chen Qingyuan's hope of breaking through the foundation building is much greater than that of his family's ninth-level Qi training monk.

"No need to be modest, your talent is indeed much stronger than Qingyuan."

"It's a pity that the family doesn't have the ability to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill for you now."

The third elder sighed, and then got down to business.

"The main reason why I asked you to come back this time is to refine the Qi Nai Dan."

As Chen Qinghao told, Chen Nianzhi nodded. Among the Chen family's seventeen acres of spiritual land, five acres were specially used to grow Qi-accumulating grass.

Qi-accumulating grass is a first-order, middle-grade spiritual grass. This spiritual grass is the main medicine for refining Qi-retaining pills.

Naqi Pill is a spiritual elixir for Qi practicing monks. Because it can help Qi practicing monks break through bottlenecks, it has been selling well.

The Chen family matures a batch of Qi-accumulating grass every five years, and the harvested Qi-accumulating grass can be used to refine fifty furnaces of Qi-accumulating pills. This is the most stable source of spiritual stones in the Chen family's spiritual medicine garden.

The task of refining the Qi-Napping Pill has always been the responsibility of the Sixth Elder Chen Qingmeng. He is a first-class high-grade alchemist. The success rate of refining the first-class mid-grade Qi-Napping Pill has exceeded 60%, and every time he can bring extraordinary results. Less revenue.

However, because Chen Qingmeng failed to build the foundation and his future potential was limited, the family planned to train new alchemists to avoid having no successors to the family alchemy industry after Chen Qingmeng died.

Although Chen Qingmeng is still in charge of refining the Qi-Napping Pill this time, Chen Nianzhi will also participate in it, helping the Sixth Elder and generally learning alchemy skills.

"This time you follow the Sixth Elder and learn alchemy."

Chen Qinghao warned as he took Chen Nianzhi to the family alchemy room.

As soon as he entered the alchemy room, Chen Nianzhi saw the Sixth Elder. In the past two years, Chen Nianzhi had spent most of his time in Linghu Continent and had basically never met the Sixth Elder.

But at this time, it seems that the Sixth Elder has become much older. It seems that the failure to break through and build the foundation has dealt a big blow to him.

The blow of the failure of foundation building was too great for him. He owed his family 30,000 spirit stones. This was a debt that would take several lifetimes to repay. It could only become a bad debt for the family, which gave him an extremely huge loss. pressure.

Chen Qingmeng also saw Chen Nianzhi. When he saw Chen Nianzhi, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed a frustrated look.

"Come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

As soon as Chen Nian arrived, Chen Qingmeng started refining the elixir.

Because there are a large number of elixirs to be refined this time, it is relatively busy.

Chen Nianzhi is responsible for sorting the elixir, and also pre-processing the Qi-accumulating grass and auxiliary medicines. He is now a first-level high-grade spiritual planter, and his understanding of the medicinal properties of the elixir is no less than that of an alchemist of the same level, so it is very easy to handle it. quick.

Chen Qingmeng was originally refining very quickly, but seeing how carefully he observed his own elixir refining, he simply slowed down and patiently explained to him.

At first, Chen Nianzhi only seemed to understand, but gradually he was able to answer back and forth, which made Chen Qingmeng couldn't help but nod his head.

"It seems that you have some talent in alchemy."

When Chen Qingmeng was in his forties, he broke through to a first-level high-level alchemist, and his talent in alchemy was considered to be top-notch.

To be recognized by him, it can be seen that Chen Nianzhi is indeed talented in elixirs and alchemy.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Chen Nianzhi is a first-level spiritual planter. After all, he has a certain knowledge of the medicinal properties of elixirs. If he learns alchemy, he has already lowered the threshold by more than half.

Not long after, the first furnace was finally refined successfully, and five Qi-Napping Pills were produced in this furnace.

"not bad."

After putting the elixir into the prepared porcelain bottle, Chen Qingmeng showed a satisfied look.

The first furnace of elixirs is regarded as a furnace, and generally the elixir success rate is not high. A 50% elixir success rate is considered quite good.

Sure enough, in the subsequent refining process, the elixir yield rate finally increased steadily, and six elixirs were produced in the second furnace.

After working for six or seven days, the two of them finished refining fifty furnaces of Qi-Nai Dan, and made a total of three hundred and thirty-six elixirs.

"Finally done."

Looking at the prepared elixir, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Nianzhi also praised: "The rate of alchemy is close to 70%. Uncle Twenty-six may be able to challenge the second-level alchemy master."

Generally speaking, if the rate of refining a first-level mid-grade elixir reaches 60%, then the rate of refining a first-level high-grade elixir should be 30%.

There is a 30% success rate in refining first-level high-grade elixirs, and it is indeed a bit sure to attack the second-level alchemy master.

"It's not that simple. I'm still far from it."

"It's just that I have refined hundreds of furnaces of Qi-Natifying Pills over the years. Practice makes perfect."

Chen Qingmeng shook his head, but still smiled happily.

"There are only three hundred and thirty-six completed pills, more than thirty more than in previous years. This is the most the family has produced in the past sixty years."

"It seems that although the foundation building failed, it can break through the tenth level of Qi refining, which is still of some benefit to alchemy."

After the two of them finished refining the pills, the third elder who had been waiting for a long time counted the Naqi Pills again.

Qi Nai Dan can slightly increase the probability of a Qi Practitioner breaking through a small bottleneck, and it has been selling well in Yu County, with the price of each one being more than five spirit stones.

If you sell these 336 pieces now, you can probably get back more than 1,600 spiritual stones, which can bring back a lot of blood to the family in one go.

Thinking of this, the third elder couldn't help but said with joy.

“It’s been a good year.”

"It's the New Year's Eve, and Nian Zhi is back. Let's hold a clan meeting."
