The monk who came to Evergreen Mountain was none other than Yan Xuewei.
“Brother Qianqing.” Yan Xuewei called softly outside his cave.
The next moment, the stone gate slowly rose.
Among all the monks with foreign surnames, Yan Xuewei is the most special one. When she came to Evergreen Mountain to find him, she didn't need to report anything, she just appeared at the door of his cave.
As the Danjie elder of Qingfeng Valley, and having a sibling relationship with him, the patriarch of the family, she should also receive this treatment.
It wouldn't be offensive if she went to any of the Li family's spiritual places and entered directly. Of course, Yan Xuewei wouldn't be so boring. Whenever she came to Xiangshui County, she would come to him.
"Sister Xuewei, why did you come here in person?" Li Qianqing pretended to be surprised.
Yan Xuewei is now the Core Formation Elder, not the previous Foundation Establishment Elder, so her behavior is more representative of Qingfeng Valley.
"Don't be surprised, you should be able to guess what my sister is going to give you when I come here this time." Yan Xuewei found a seat and sat down, looking at Li Qianqing.
“It’s easy to guess, Sister Xuewei, you just sent me the main elixir for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, right?”
"Hey, that's right."
"But even if you want to send these elixirs, you can send someone to deliver them, or let our Li family send someone to Qingfeng Valley. There is no need to go there in person."
"What? Are you still worried that my sister and I will be criticized by other elders in the valley for my behavior? You can rest assured that most of them will not do this."
When Li Qianqing wanted to say something else, Yan Xuewei did not give him a chance to speak, but continued.
"If you just deliver the elixir, I really don't need to go there in person, but my main purpose is to come and see you, sister."
Yan Xuewei said so, and Li Qianqing had nothing to say. As the youngest Danjie elder in Qingfeng Valley, compared with other Danjie elders, she sometimes allowed herself to follow her own temper.
Li Qianqing knew in his heart that it was precisely because of this that it was even more impossible for Qingfeng Valley to suppress the development of the Li family. Over the years, he had been worried about this problem. Of course, there are still some precautions. It is necessary to do this to prevent accidents from happening.
“This is the main elixir for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, as well as the second-level mid-grade water-melting fruit you need. However, if you add them all together, you can only refine one furnace of the Foundation Establishment Pill.”
“It’s enough if you can refine it in one furnace.” Li Qianqing nodded with great satisfaction.
After receiving the elixir, he also gave Yan Xuewei the spiritual stones needed to collect these elixirs. The relationship between the two is good, but some accounts still need to be settled, and this is still a transaction he made on behalf of the Li family and Yan Xuewei, not on behalf of himself, and the nature itself is different.
Many times, when the accounts are not settled clearly, it affects the relationship between the two parties.
Yan Xuewei also knew that she was doing something for the Li family, so she did not shirk anything and directly accepted the spiritual stones given by Li Qianqing. As for how many spiritual stones were given, she did not look at them. She believed that younger brother Qianqing would Be measured.
In order to collect these elixirs, it cost her thousands of spirit stones, which was not a small amount for a monk in the elixir formation stage.
In addition to the elixir, Yan Xuewei also told Li Qianqing some information about Qingfeng Valley.
As the Qingfeng Valley Jie Dan elder, she has access to more information. Of course, the information she told Li Qianqing can be told to Li Qianqing, or she can tell it or not. Some core information must not be disclosed. After all, her important identity is still the elder of Qingfeng Valley Danjie, not Li Qianqing's sister.
After these information exchanges are completed, the next step is daily communication.
She stayed in Li Qianqing's cave for half a day and left.
When she came to the Li family, she didn't see any other family monks except Li Qianqing.
After sending Yan Xuewei away, Li Qianqing returned to the cave and prepared to refine the Foundation Building Pill.
If you use one portion of the Foundation Establishment Pill in one furnace, you can refine up to five pills.
If there were two elixirs for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand, Li Qianqing would not refining two copies in one furnace. Compared with refining one portion in one furnace, the former would naturally be more likely to produce nine Foundation Establishment Pills. He would What you need to do is to take ten foundation-building pills, which can consume more time in order to increase the success rate.
The message on the stone door outside the cave changed that he was in retreat. He also took out the big blue cauldron, which was a high-grade spiritual weapon and alchemy furnace. As early as when he was refining the second-grade high-grade spiritual weapon, he Before Dan, the family purchased it for him.
A good alchemy furnace can increase the rate of elixirs, especially complex elixirs like Foundation Establishment Pills. It is best not to use low-level alchemy furnaces to refine them, at least for refining elixirs. The furnace must be at the level of a high-grade spiritual weapon. If possible, it is best to reach the level of a first-grade low-grade magic weapon.
Elixir-forming monks can sacrifice and refine the natal magic weapon, and normal first-level magic weapons are generally used by monks in the elixir-forming stage.
There are not many magic weapons in the Three Small Kingdoms area. Even for a top foundation-building and immortal cultivating family like the Li family, it is difficult to find a first-class low-grade magic weapon.
For Li Qianqing himself, he is capable of refining the Foundation Establishing Pill even if he uses an alchemy furnace with a low-grade spiritual weapon. As long as he does not use an alchemy furnace with a magic weapon level to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. Otherwise, with his current strength, There is nothing you can do, unless you form a pill, you can barely refine it normally.
Of course this is a very extreme situation. Normally there would be basically no problems with the alchemy furnace.
After placing the alchemy furnace, the first thing he took out was the elixir given by Yan Xuewei.
A Ganoderma lucidum, two five-leaf Qi flowers and three God-breaking fruits.
This is the most common elixir recipe for refining foundation-building elixirs in the Five Kingdoms region. These three types of elixirs can be planted in spiritual fields. Many forces who have just entered the elixir-building immortality family have grown up in the newly opened spiritual fields. These three elixirs will be grown. If the family has a good alchemist, they will have the opportunity to use the elixirs grown by their family to refine the foundation-building pill in the future.
Of these three second-level high-grade elixirs, the one that takes the longest time is Ganoderma lucidum, which takes a full two hundred and ninety-five years to refine the foundation-building pill. This is already approaching the upper limit of second-level high-grade elixirs, and The shortest is to break the God Fruit, but it also takes two hundred and eighty-two years.
From planting to maturity and use as medicine, normal growth takes two hundred and eighty-nine years. Only the Dan-forming forces can afford to wait for this. Even the top foundation-building and immortal-cultivating families are more likely to do so after so many years. The strength has declined, but the Pill-forming Immortal Cultivation Family is different.
Even if there is no alchemy-forming monk in the family, the strength of the family can still be guaranteed for three hundred years. Unless the monk has been in the alchemy-forming stage for more than two hundred years, in most cases, he is two hundred years old. After that, the peak foundation-building monks were simply unable to form elixirs.
After Li Qianqing took out all the elixirs for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, he started refining them.
The level of the main elixir for refining elixirs determines the grade of the elixir. This has become common knowledge among alchemists. Just like monsters can break the limits of their bloodline, elixirs can also break through their own growth under certain circumstances. upper limit.
The most common characteristic of this environment is that the spiritual energy is very strong for the elixir itself. For example, if a third-level low-level spiritual field planted with first-level low-level white corn breaks through the limit and grows into a first-level mid-level white corn, there is basically no big problem, but this is obviously meaningless, and the effort far outweighs the gain.
Spiritual planters who like to study elixirs have long concluded that only a very small number of elixirs are meaningful in breaking through the limits, and the rest are meaningless. Li Qianqing has also been exposed to such books. Some of them were mainly seen in passing while reading miscellaneous books on alchemy.
The alchemy miscellaneous book mainly talks about a fifth-level alchemist refining the third-level low-level foundation-building pill. In his previous life, he was still a fourth-level mid-level alchemist. He read it with gusto.
The fifth-level alchemy master ordered the spiritual planter to refine the main elixir of the Foundation Establishment Pill, and trained him to the third-level low-grade elixir. As a result, some changes occurred in the recipe of the Foundation Establishment Pill. Changes, in addition to some auxiliary elixirs that have to break through their original limits, there are also elixirs that add some mild properties and continue to be synthesized.
In the end, the alchemist also successfully refined the third-level low-grade foundation-building pill. Compared with the second-order high-grade foundation-building pill, the former definitely increased the success rate of foundation-building, but the increased success rate was not only lower than his expectations. And this foundation-building pill has a shortcoming, that is, when used by miscellaneous spirit root monks, the success rate of foundation building is even lower...
The purpose of refining the third-level foundation-building pill is for the miscellaneous spirit root monks. , but the one who benefited the most was the True Spiritual Root cultivator.
Also, the cost of refining the Foundation Building Pill is almost thirty times the value of the pill.
Many of the stories in alchemy miscellaneous books are interesting negative examples. In addition to preventing alchemists from going astray, they can also learn something.
For the current Li family, if there is a third-level low-grade foundation building pill, it will definitely be the best. In this way, dual spiritual root and three spiritual root monks are more likely to succeed in foundation building, but when the Li family is really able to get it With such a Foundation Establishment Pill Queen, what the Li family lacked at that time was not Foundation Establishment monks, but monks at the level of the Pill Formation Stage and Nascent Soul Stage.
There are many elixirs for refining the Foundation Building Pill, and the refining time is also very long.
Second-grade high-grade Spirit-Ascending Pill, Li Qianqing could refine one batch in two and a half days, while Li Qianqing could refine one batch of Foundation-Building Pill in one batch in two and a half days. It took seven days to complete the refining, and the refining time for ordinary third-level low-grade elixirs was only about six days.
Seven days later.
The temperature in Li Qianqing’s cave began to drop.
The foundation building pill was successfully refined.
"Well, not bad." Looking at the five Foundation Establishment Pills in his hand, Li Qianqing was very satisfied.
According to the information from Yan Xuewei, the current strongest alchemy elder in Qingfeng Valley has only a 50% success rate in refining Foundation Establishment Pills. When you are lucky, you will get three pills, and when you are bad, you will get two pills. .
The value of a Foundation Establishment Pill is as high as 30,000 yuan. If you can refine one pill in one furnace, you will get your money back. If you refine two pills, you will earn more than 30,000 yuan.
It can be said that in these seven days, he created more than 100,000 spirit stones for the family, but he certainly cannot say that he refined five foundation-building pills. With his talent in alchemy, It is normal to refine one in the first furnace, but two is the limit.
"There are three Foundation Building Pills left. I'll have them when I get back from going out for training." Li Qianqing smiled. He had a chance to go out for training. He also had to think carefully about how much he could get back when he went out.
After the refining of the Foundation Establishment Pill was completed, it was almost time for him to guide and train the family monks.
After living in Changqing Mountain, children with new spiritual roots in the family will only be sent to Changqing Mountain and not to Changqing Mountain.
In recent years, the number of monks born in the family every year is normal, usually between three and five. Most of the time, there is one true spiritual root monk.
If the current situation continues and the Li family is given another fifty years to develop, then the number of people in the family's Qi refining period will remain above three hundred.
Li Qianqing naturally did not intend for the family to develop like this. What he wanted was better development.
He has almost determined the time when he will go out to get opportunities. It will be either February or March next year. The more specific time will have to wait until next year.
The family children he trained this time were ordinary monks with three spiritual roots. Among the five monks born in September last year, there were two each with four spiritual roots and five spiritual roots.
Today’s guidance and training ends near noon.
Li Qianqing met Li Lilong on his way back to the cave.
"Fourth Uncle." Li Qianqing called immediately after seeing Li Lilong, and then he thought of something and continued, "Are you waiting for me here specifically?"
"Yes." Li Lilong nodded. When he went to see Li Qianqing a few days ago, he found that he was in retreat. He quickly thought of something and came to see Li Qianqing today.
Today is the time for Li Qianqing to guide and train family monks.
Li Lilong knew that Li Qianqing was a monk who had a plan for himself. When it was really easy to do something, it would basically not change unless something unexpected happened.
"Qianqing, how is the refining of the Foundation Establishment Pill going?" Li Lilong asked directly.
When Yan Xuewei held the elixir banquet before, Li Qianqing hoped that she could help his family get some of the main elixir for refining the foundation-building elixir. This information was basically known to the core members of the family.
Yan Xuewei came here a few days ago.
It was easy for Li Lilong to think of what Yan Xuewei, who was currently in the pill formation stage, would do for her.
"I was thinking of talking about it in a few days, but since you asked, Fourth Uncle, I will take it out directly." Li Qianqing smiled and did not directly say how many Foundation Establishment Pills he had refined, but Take two directly from the storage bag.
Li Lilong's eyes lit up when he saw this, and now Li Qiuling and Li Qiuben had the elixir for foundation building.
Li Qiuben, who has a body of plants and trees, cultivates very quickly. Originally, according to time, he was the fourth foundation-building seed in the family. Now he is almost surpassing the third foundation-building seed, Li Qiuji. There is no doubt that he He will definitely reach the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining faster than Li Qiuji.
"There are actually two!" Li Lilong was surprised. After all, it was Li Qianqing's first time refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. He expected that Li Qianqing had refined one.
Normally, monks who refine Foundation Establishment Pills for the first time will refine many second-level high-grade elixirs to accumulate opportunities to refine this level of elixirs, but even in this way, it is difficult to successfully refine them. Foundation Building Pill.
They knew about Li Qianqing’s alchemy talent, so he also had such expectations.
"I'm lucky this time." Li Qianqing continued to smile, thinking for a moment that if he took out three Foundation Establishment Pills, his fourth uncle would definitely not be able to accept them. (End of this chapter)
