People are fighting, the three-year period has come

Chapter 9 Hard work, study, and progress
Back to the courtyard

Xiao Yu immediately began to count the harvest, after all, he really made a profit this time.

Not only did he get what he wanted, but he also got a storage ring for free.

"Green Spirit Grass... Huiling Red Fruit... Blood Clotting Grass... Scorpio Flower... Fire Spirit Crystal... Second-level Earth Demon Core, Fire Demon Core, Wood Demon Core."

"The recipe for Shengling Pill, the recipe for Buqi Pill, the recipe for Huichun Pill."

"Basic Notes for Alchemists, Manual for Identifying Medicinal Grades, Manual for Recording Medicinal Materials..."

One by one, items were taken out of the ring. With each additional item, the light in Xiao Yu's eyes became brighter.

These things were exactly what he needed right now, and at the same time, they also made him realize that he owed Gu Ni a big favor this time.

Not counting the medicinal herbs and alchemy books, just the three second-grade pill recipes would be enough to consume all of Xiao Yu's 120,000 gold coins.

The storage ring, medicinal herbs and alchemy books would probably cost two hundred thousand gold coins. In other words, Gu Ni gave Xiao Yu two hundred thousand gold coins for free as an advance investment.

This favor is very important to Xiao Yu at this stage.

"I really have to thank old man Gu Ni this time. Why didn't I find him so generous in the original book?"

Xiao Yu thought to himself.

This is not surprising. In the original novel, the foundation-building spiritual liquid that Xiao Yan disguised as the man in black was only the second-grade spiritual liquid. Gu Ni only treated him as an alchemist of the same level or one level higher than him, so he naturally showed due respect to him, but that was all.

Xiao Yu is different. The pills he refines are made with thunder and fire, and are purer than those refined by ordinary alchemists.

That is to say, relying on the terrifying purification ability of thunder, the efficacy of medicinal materials can be released to the maximum extent, thereby improving the grade of the elixir.

This is also the reason why Xiao Yu can refine second-grade elixirs using low-level medicinal materials.

In addition, the elixir's nearly perfect purity makes it almost free of side effects, and there is no such thing as elixir poison, which is why Gu Ni misunderstood that Xiao Yu's fictitious teacher was an alchemist of the fourth rank or above.

There were only a few such alchemists in the Jia Ma Empire, and Gu Ni had no access to them at all, let alone meet one. Even their disciples were not comparable to him.

Gu Ni's age is there, and he is afraid that he will make no progress in this life. Now there is a chance to make friends with this kind of alchemist, and he naturally does not want to miss it. Even if Xiao Yu, the mysterious alchemist teacher, gives him a few pointers, it will benefit him for life, and perhaps he can make further progress.

Moreover, although the number of 200,000 gold coins is not small for him, it is not enough to cause any serious damage to his bones.

During his many years at the Miter Auction House, he had accumulated quite a bit of wealth. After all, alchemists were well-known money-making machines, and even for a second-grade alchemist, the accumulated wealth over the years was a considerable sum.

This is also true for Gu Ni, but it is different for Xiao Yu.

What does Xiao Yu lack most now?
Medicinal materials, pill recipes and books on systematic study of alchemy knowledge, and a storage ring solved the inconvenience of Xiao Yu carrying these things.

It can be regarded as timely assistance when Xiao Yu had nothing. No matter what the other person's purpose was, he really helped Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu also appreciated it.

If Gu Ni needs help in the future, Xiao Yu will help to the best of his ability.

After cleaning out the things and planning how to put them into the storage ring, Xiao Yu ate something casually and started practicing.

There is still some time before going to bed, and I can't waste it. There is no other way to entertain myself anyway, so I have to practice to pass the time.

Strands of invisible fighting qi were absorbed into the body, circulated along the body's own operating route, and were transformed into thunder and fire fighting qi, which entered the dantian and added to Xiao Yu's strength.

…………

"To upgrade the spirit pill, you need upgrading spirit crystals, green spirit grass, spirit-raising mushrooms, red fruit, and a second-level magic core."

"Qi-boosting pill..."

"Rejuvenation Pill..." The next day, Xiao Yu began to study the three pill recipes. After all, the Thunder and Fire alchemy method was different from the traditional alchemy method in the Douqi Continent. He needed to improve the recipes himself to make them suitable for Thunder and Fire alchemy.

However, the difficulty is much lower than that of self-developed pill formula. You only need to change the part of wood gas catalysis to thunder quenching and fusion.

During this time, he also modified the previous Qi-nourishing Pills and Body-tempering Pills so that they could also be refined using traditional fire and wood alchemy. With three second-grade pill recipes to refer to, this was not a difficult task for him.

On this basis, he modified and refined the pills as he went along, allowing the Qi-Nourishing Pill and Body-Tempering Pill, which were originally first-grade pill recipes, to be upgraded to second-grade.

It is nothing more than improving the age of the medicinal materials and the grade of the magic cores, and then conducting refining experiments and improvements, and it can be completed.

…………

In the following twenty days, Xiao Yu kept refining pills.

Every day was extremely fulfilling. Even before going to bed, he was reading the alchemy notes.

It is obvious that I am making progress every day, little by little.

This kind of joy of learning was something he had never felt in his twenty-three years on Earth.

There are so many entertainment options on Earth that it is easy for people to get addicted to them. Unlike the Douqi Continent, there is no Internet or mobile phones. All you have to do is get stronger and stronger. After all, the strong are respected here.

After more than three years, he has become accustomed to this kind of life. It is not like when he first arrived, when he felt uncomfortable every day and missed everything on Earth.

This also proves the saying
"The edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossom comes from the bitter cold."

He is now walking on a path of "the road is long and arduous, but I will search for it up and down."

The future is already at his feet. Xiao Yu is no longer the three-no otaku on Earth, but a handsome young man who believes in "Heaven moves forward, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement"!

…………

More than half a month has passed
Xiao Yu completed his hard training once again, and gained much more than before.

Eight spirit-enhancing pills, four energy-replenishing pills, and three rejuvenation pills.

Thanks to those alchemy notes, Xiao Yu also had an understanding of the classification of elixirs and was no longer like a headless fly like before.

The three ordinary second-grade elixirs have reached the third grade after being refined using the Thunder and Fire Alchemy Method. However, among the third-grade elixirs, they can only be considered the bottom of the list.

But this is already very impressive. After all, the secret method of upgrading the elixir only exists in Zhongzhou. For example, Yao Lao's method of upgrading the spirit is this kind of secret method.

However, the secret method of spiritual advancement is extremely difficult. Without powerful soul power, it is impossible to master it. This kind of secret method is generally exclusive to high-level alchemists. The high-level here refers to the seventh grade and above.

That's why people say Xiao Yu's thunder and fire alchemy method is abnormal and against the will of heaven.

The price of a third-grade elixir is over 60,000.

And Xiao Yu's fifteen third-grade pills, at 60,000 gold coins each, totaled 900,000 gold coins, and this was still the lowest price.

With more than one million worth of pills in his pocket, Xiao Yu was extremely happy.

Strictly speaking, he is only a second-grade alchemist now. After all, he can now refine third-grade pills. It is only the uniqueness of the Thunder and Fire Alchemy Method that allows the pills he refines to reach the third grade.

During these twenty days, he also clearly felt the resistance of alchemy, which was not as easy as refining Qi-nourishing Pills and Body-tempering Pills before.

Whether it's the control of fire and lightning, soul power or perception, they can only support him in refining second-grade elixirs. If he wants to go further, he still has a long way to go.
