Chapter 219 Tiger Bone Aphrodisiac Pill
Chapter 219 Tiger Bone Aphrodisiac Pill
in the afternoon.
Alchemy Hall.
On this day, Duanmu Lan started to produce a furnace of third-grade elixirs. The quality of the small elixirs in this furnace was quite good. It produced more than thirty top-grade elixirs, more than forty mid-grade elixirs, and the rest were low-grade elixirs. He made a net profit of more than 2000 spirit stones.
There was an empty alchemy furnace, and her fourth-level alchemy furnace was quite good, which was just right for refining this batch of tiger bone aphrodisiac pills.
"Congratulations, Miss Duanmu."
Wang Qiye and Yan Mengwan congratulated her.
"Using Wang Qiye's method of allocating time and heat, the success rate of my furnace of pills has increased by 30%. Wang Qiye, you are not completely useless."
Duanmu Lan was very satisfied with this furnace of pills and smiled.
"Miss Lan is already a fourth-level alchemist, and you are very talented. How can this third-level elixir be difficult for you?"
Wang Qiye flattered him fiercely.
"That's not the case. The fourth-tier elixir is what my master is best at. Under his guidance, I failed three times before I succeeded. It was just a fourth-tier elixir in name only. So I have never dared to refine other fourth-tier elixirs. Now that my third-tier elixirs are of high quality, the proportion has exceeded 3%. I have the confidence to try other fourth-tier elixirs."
Duanmu Lan benefited greatly from it and now wanted to try to refine a batch of pills.
Alchemists usually use 7-9 ingredients for one furnace of elixirs, but when trying to make a high-level elixir, they will choose to use only one ingredient, so as to take the risk of failure. Only people like Wang Qiye who have other people to guide them, even if he fails, others can still take action in time to remedy the situation and recover some losses, so as not to waste the entire furnace of elixirs.
The ability of an alchemist is measured by the quality of the top-grade elixir. If the success rate of the top-grade elixir is not high, it means that the level of alchemy is not enough at this stage and needs to be improved. Otherwise, there is no confidence in refining a higher-grade elixir, and naturally there is no possibility of success.
The success rate of top-grade elixirs exceeded 3% of this furnace of elixirs, which undoubtedly showed that she had gained a firm foothold at this stage of elixir refining, and the success rate of refining higher-level elixirs increased by at least 50%. That was why Duanmu Lan was so happy. She originally thought that she would have to refine the third-level elixir for another ten years to consolidate it, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary. If it were not for this furnace of tiger bone aphrodisiac pills, the materials were all from Wang Qiye and herself, and she would have used this fourth-level elixir furnace to make a furnace of fourth-level elixirs immediately.
"Don't belittle yourself. You are a genuine fourth-level alchemist. You didn't just brag about it."
Yan Mengwan said with envy.
"Junior Sister Yan's success rate has also been improved, right?"
Duanmu Lan smiled slightly and looked at her.
"Well, now I am trying different third-level elixirs and am still accumulating experience. Compared with Miss Duanmu, my success rate is not as good as hers."
Yan Mengwan said embarrassedly.
"I'm afraid that in another two years, your level will be as high as mine now. You are just accumulating proficiency now. It won't be long before two more fourth-level alchemists are born here."
Duanmu Lan looked at Wang Qiye and Yan Mengwan with emotion.
"Although I can learn from others' furnace-opening techniques, there are too many twists and turns in the "maintenance" of elixirs, and they have always been a secret. If I don't fail a few times, I won't be able to find the direction of this fourth-level elixir."
Yan Mengwan said with some melancholy.
"Becoming a fourth-level alchemist is still a distant dream. Why think so far ahead? Duanmu Lan, start the furnace quickly, or the tiger meat that has just been thawed will go bad."
Wang Qiye urged.
"Then let's start making this batch of tiger bone aphrodisiac pills. I'll refine the third-level herbs, and you guys will refine the first- and second-level herbs."
"It's up to you."
Wang Qiye echoed.
Seeing that the two of them agreed, Duanmu Lan began to perform a cleansing spell to clean the stove first. Then he turned on the ground fire switch, adjusted the ground fire to the maximum, and started to heat the stove.
After she had refined the tiger whip, tiger bones, tiger meat, and tiger blood into a medicinal liquid and put it into four porcelain bottles, she stepped aside and began to regain her composure.
Wang Qiye came up and refined the first-level auxiliary medicine into liquid medicine, which he also packed in a porcelain bottle. Then Yan Mengwan refined the second-level auxiliary medicine into liquid medicine, which she also packed in porcelain bottles and placed on the shelf, waiting for Duanmu Lan to use.
Without letting them wait too long, Duanmu Lan stood up and walked to the alchemy furnace.
At this moment, she was in perfect condition. When she was refining the elixir, she had no other thoughts. She poured the porcelain bottles into the elixir furnace one by one with full concentration. Her spiritual consciousness was also distractedly controlling the size of the earth fire, keeping an eye on the temperature at all times.
The main medicine and the auxiliary medicine are first mixed separately, and then mixed together to form a pot of liquid medicine.
The process of "opening the furnace" is not complicated. With Duanmu Lan's means, it is easy to balance the five elements relationship between the medicinal liquids.
Every time Wang Qiye saw others "opening the furnace", he was greatly inspired. After all, his weakness was the temperature. Without fire spiritual roots, he always relied on Duanmu Lan and Yan Mengwan to cooperate with him, and the temperature also depended entirely on their proficiency.
"Wang Qiye, how long will it take to refine this furnace of elixirs?"
As usual, Duanmu Lan asked Wang Qiye out of habit, and unknowingly, she had become dependent on him.
"Since this furnace of elixirs focuses on durability, it will naturally take a longer time to refine. Use a low fire in the early stage and a high fire in the later stage. It will be ready after 300 days."
Wang Qiye smiled calmly, as if he had a plan in mind.
……
end of the month.
Alchemy room number 18.
After dinner, everyone sat around the tea table. When the water boiled, Shihua took out five pieces of Lingxi Yunwu tea leaves, threw them into the teapot, and then poured the boiling water into it.
When the tea leaves in the teapot brew, wisps of mist will dissipate and a hint of tea fragrance will fill the entire room.
"Sir, please have some tea."
Shuanghua brought a cup of brewed tea and served it over.
"Ah."
Wang Qiye took it and blew it gently.
"Son-in-law, this month's income and expenditure is +268 spiritual stones."
Ruyi also picked up a cup of cloud tea, took a sip, and then spoke.
"Well, the income this month is a little less."
Wang Qiye muttered casually.
This month, they went too far into the heart of the demonic land, and it took four days to go back and forth. After hunting the nine ferocious tigers, everyone did not dare to delay and retreated, and killed a few second-level demon beasts that they encountered by chance.
"Qinghu Peak allocates 1000 spirit stones every month. The young lady has an income of 800 per month for expenses. She sold a formation design drawing and earned 190. The second wife earns 600 per month for expenses. The talismans earn 500. The son-in-law received 300 for the medicine this month. The skins of the third-level monsters and several second-level monsters sold for a total of 1876. This is the income this month."
Ruyi spoke slowly.
Wang Qiye nodded gently, secretly sighing that the income from Hu Mingyue's talismans was still as stable as before. Now the monster heart blood used to draw talismans was self-sufficient, and this income was almost pure profit. As for the elixir he refined, the furnace of the third-level pulse protection pill, he had been selling it for five months, but there were still four bottles that had not been sold. There were really not many people who needed this thing. Wang Qiye was considering whether to refine it according to the task list of the Alchemy Hall. As long as he refined it, he could see the money immediately, but it would cost 10 less spirit stones per bottle than selling it himself.
Ruyi continued: "My son-in-law didn't open the furnace this month. The cost of watching the "furnace opening performance" is 470 spirit stones. The cost of the young lady's course this month is 1000 spirit stones. Various formation materials, talismans and elixirs consume 900 spirit stones. The second wife's course costs 500 spirit stones. Ruyi, Shihua, Ziyan and Shuanghua consume 1600 spirit stones. The rest are the usual trivial expenses."
"Ah."
Wang Qiye nodded slightly. His income this month was not much, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
"There are a total of 5273 spiritual stones in the public account."
Ruyi continued.
Finally, he saw the money. Wang Qiye smiled proudly. It was not in vain that he had gone to the Demon Land once a month for more than ten months. With the two wives in the Golden Core Stage as his backing, they really regarded the Demon Land as their backyard. Every month, they had to kill 2-3 third-level monsters. They didn't dare to fight more than that, for fear of being on the blacklist. But for the second-level monsters, they had no scruples. As long as they met one, they would definitely take it down. It was with the contribution of the Demon Land that Wang Qiye's financial situation was restored. Every month, there was an income of +2000-3000. This month, there was only +268, which was a small amount, but if the nine fierce tigers that entered the alchemy furnace were counted, then this month, at least +6000 spirit stones would be needed.
Now that Wang Qiye has some extra money, he has no scruples about spending it. As long as someone sells tickets for the "Furnace Opening Performance", he will go to watch it if he has time. After all, he is still in the stage of accumulating experience. The third-level elixir costs 10 spirit stones per time, and the fourth-level elixir costs 100 spirit stones per time. He has watched 11 performances this month and gained a lot.
The most important thing in alchemy is "opening the furnace", which basically accounts for 2/1 of the overall proportion of alchemy. In this regard, both the alchemy hall and the ancient records teach in great detail, and are generous and open-minded. Therefore, in order to increase their income, some people will sell varying numbers of "opening furnace performance tickets" when they start a new furnace of elixirs. Some well-known alchemy masters can basically earn back the cost of the furnace of elixirs with that performance. Although there is no secret to "opening the furnace", the subsequent temperature and regular "maintenance" at each period of time are secrets that are not passed on, and they all rely on their own experience to explore.
Since he started traveling to the demon land with his wife, the monthly salary of Ruyi, Shihua, Ziyan, and Shuanghua has also increased to 400 Lingshi per month. These maids usually serve very hard, and Wang Qiye is not a black-hearted boss. If he earns more, he will give him a little more. This makes these four maids look at Wang Qiye with more respect. After all, Gongsun Yang is an elder in the outer sect, and his monthly income is only 100 Lingshi, which is also the average income of a second-level cultivator.
