Chapter 29 Results
Li Qianqing took out the alchemy furnace, placed the corresponding elixirs, and then started refining the first-level mid-grade Qi-boosting pill.
Two years ago, the family had replaced him with a better alchemy furnace.
The current alchemy furnace is a medium-grade magic weapon.
As the alchemist of the family, he never has to worry about the alchemy furnace used for refining. When the alchemy skills are about the same, the family will prepare better ones for him. This is also one of the family's training.
What's more, he is also an amazingly talented alchemist in the eyes of the clan leader and others.
The remaining white corn plants after harvesting are one of the commonly used fuel materials for refining first-order elixirs.
When Li Qianqing was refining the elixir, in addition to the white corn plants he consumed, he would also burn some additional ones. This was to cover up his refining situation of two batches per furnace.
Refining first-level mid-level elixirs takes much more time than first-level low-level elixirs. One furnace per day is the limit of an alchemist during the Qi refining period.
It would normally take Li Qianqing two months to complete the refining of sixty copies of the first-grade middle-grade Qi-Building Pill.
The family gave him the task of refining elixirs, mostly because they wanted to quickly increase his experience in elixir refining. If his talent is similar to that of an ordinary alchemist, Li Qianqing can now be assigned twenty copies of the first-level mid-grade Qi-Building elixir to refine elixirs. That’s pretty good.
Of course, due to the talent he showed, he would definitely make money by refining these pills, but they were not as much as Li Tutu would make by refining the first-order mid-grade Qi-boosting pills.
From daytime to dusk, Li Qianqing completed the refining of a batch of first-level middle-grade Qi-Building Pills.
“Thirteen Qi-Building Pills, it’s a pity.”
Refining two first-order middle-grade Qi-Building Pills together can save him the next month’s elixir. time.
The next batch of Qi-Building Pills can only be refined tomorrow.
In the next time, Li Qianqing simply recovered and just consumed his spiritual energy, and then started his daily practice.
After refining the first-level middle-grade Qi-Building Pill this time, after the family’s contribution points are issued, he can continue to exchange for the first-order middle-grade Qi-Gathering Pill for cultivation.
There are not many first-class mid-grade Qi Gathering Pills left in the family store. Li Qianqing at the family store doesn’t know if all the first-class mid-grade Qi Gathering Pills have been sold. If they are sold out, then the next time the family library Replenishing the first-level mid-grade Qi Gathering Pill will have to wait until three years later.
Two months later.
Li Qianqing came to Li Tuitu with the Qi-boosting pill he refined.
While refining the first-level mid-grade Qi-Building Pill, Li Qianqing also came to see his second grandfather and asked him to answer some of the difficulties in refining the Qi-Building Pill. The first questions were all fine, but the last question was Li Ditu asked, and it already touched on something he didn't know how to do.
In this case, Li Qianqing discussed the difficulties of refining with him, instead of teaching one by one.
"Second Grandpa, I have refined all sixty portions of the Qi-tonifying elixir."
"How many pills have been refined?" Li Tuitu asked immediately.
They had communicated before, and he knew that the first-level mid-grade Qi-boosting pills that Li Qianqing refined this time would definitely be quite high.
Li Qianqing will definitely be more comfortable in the second half of the refining process.
"There are three hundred and twenty one in total. Second Grandpa, please take a look." Li Qianqing said, taking out the storage bag and handing it to Li Ditu.
This storage bag used to contain the elixir for refining Qi-Building Pills, but now the rest of it is filled with Qi-Building Pills.
"Very good!" Li Ditu was so satisfied. He thought that Li Qianqing might refine more than 310 first-level mid-grade Qi-Building Pills this time, but he had not yet thought about the quantity. It will be improved to a higher level, exceeding 320 pills. "The average elixir formation rate is more than 70%. Qianqing, your rate of elixir formation in the past three batches of Qi Replenishing Pills should be close to 90%."
An alchemist with astonishing talent not only has a good rate of elixir formation at the beginning of refining, but also has an astonishing growth rate. "Absolutely." Li Qianqing replied.
“Originally, what I thought was that after the sixty furnaces of Qi Replenishing Pills are refined, your rate of making the pill will reach 80%.”
“Thanks to half of it. Months ago, Second Grandpa asked me to overcome the refining difficulty," Li Qianqing gave the reason.
Li Ditu nodded, "Originally, I thought that the success rate of refining the first-level mid-grade Qi-boosting pill was hard to mention. It was all thanks to you."
Li Ditu knew very well that he mainly relied on Li Qianqing, and he only played a supporting role at most.
"It's a pity that it didn't reach three hundred and thirty, otherwise you would have received five thousand family contribution points."
"Second Grandpa, I am already very satisfied, I can refine three hundred and two Eleven Qi-Building Pills are more than I originally expected."
"Hahaha, I'm a little greedy," Li Tutu said with a smile, stroking his beard.
Compared with Li Qianqing's refining results, he, an experienced alchemist who has refined hundreds of batches of first-level mid-grade Qi-Building Pills, naturally harvested more Qi-Building Pills.
Like Li Qianqing, this time he also refined 60 copies of the first-grade middle-grade Qi-Building Pill elixir.
He refined sixty-seven more first-level mid-grade Qi-boosting pills than Li Qianqing, for a total of three hundred and eighty-eight pills.
At the beginning, Li Ditu succeeded in producing six first-level middle-grade Qi-boosting pills in each furnace, which was too many and seven, which was too few. Later, after he and Li Qianqing overcame a refining difficulty, he refined a The success rate of mid-level Qi-Building Pills becomes seven pills which are too many and six pills which are too few.
If Li Qianqing continues to grow, he will definitely be given the responsibility of refining first-grade high-grade elixirs for his family in the future.
Li Tutu refined three first-level elixirs. If he performs well, he may reach a 100% success rate. After all, at the age of seventy, he has already refined many first-level elixirs. A middle-grade elixir, and his alchemy talent is not bad, but the situation of refining a first-grade high-grade elixir is different.
The main elixirs for refining first-level high-grade elixirs are all first-level high-grade elixirs.
Compared with the first-order mid-grade elixir, the first-order high-grade elixir takes longer to grow. The number of pill furnaces that can be refined in the same time is much less, and the refining difficulty is higher. This is For sure.
The three-leaf star flower, the main elixir for refining the first-level mid-grade Qi-Building Pill, has a maximum growth period of twelve years, and its potency reaches its peak between eleven and a half to twelve years. Therefore, the Li family is a member of every family. The first-order mid-grade Qi-Building Pill is refined every eleven and a half years.
The maximum number of years for first-grade high-grade elixirs to grow is twenty years at least. Most first-grade high-grade elixirs need to be cultivated for more than twenty-five years before they can be used to refine elixirs.
With Li Qianqing's alchemy talent, next time all the first-grade high-grade elixirs of the Li family will be refined by him, and the final number of successes may be even better than what Li Tutu refined.
Of course, this is just Li Ditu's idea, and the specifics will depend on the time allocation.
The experience of cultivating an alchemist, if you only consider a single factor, naturally the more elixirs you can give him to refine, the better, but when multiple factors are combined, the situation will be different.
Time is precious to every monk, and it takes time to refine elixirs, especially higher-level elixirs.
In addition to refining alchemy, Li Qianqing must have sufficient time to practice.
Compared to alchemists in the Qi-refining stage, alchemists in the foundation-building stage have a more profound impact on the current Li family.
Therefore, now that Li Qianqing hires Li Xingxin to take care of him, the Li family doesn't care at all.
According to the rules of the Li family, Li Qianqing will not be reassigned his affairs until the later stage of Qi refining, and then he will no longer have to take care of Ling Tian.
