Chapter 7 Successful Development
a month later
For a month, Xiao Yu repeated alchemy every day, recorded changes, improved, and practiced again.
It costs him a portion of medicinal materials a day, and on average, he consumes five hundred gold coins a day. This number can be said to be huge in a place like Wutan City.
The Xiao family's annual income and profit is only 100,000 gold coins, so it can be imagined that the alchemist is really burning money.
…………
"This is the last time I'm refining the medicine. I hope nothing will go wrong."
Today, Xiao Yu was going to refine the last batch of medicinal materials. On the stone table behind him, he saw a large stack of paper falling on it. These were the data that Xiao Yu had recorded on the changes in the medicinal materials during the process of refining the medicine for a month.
Every time you practice, you must record it in detail, and do not miss any small changes.
This also made his knowledge of thunder and fire alchemy increase day by day.
The elixir refining began, and Xiao Yu skillfully began to refine each medicinal ingredient. Under his precise control of the fire, in less than an hour, the Qi-receiving grass, Qi-moving fruit, Spirit-quenching crystal and first-order fire attribute magic core were all refined.
After that, the medicine cauldron exploded with lightning, and the essences began to merge. The fusion was very slow, but Xiao Yu was still controlling it carefully.
This step is very critical. If you don't have patience, you are destined to fail. The most important thing for every alchemist is patience, especially for high-level alchemists. After all, it takes several days to refine some high-level elixirs.
An hour later, the essences were completely fused together to form a new essence. Xiao Yu carefully controlled the flames and finally reduced the flames little by little.
The temperature inside the medicine cauldron also gradually dropped, and the elixir began to take shape, and finally solidified completely.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu slapped the medicine cauldron, and the impact force caused the elixir to squeeze out of the medicine cauldron. He grabbed it, and a round, plump, and slightly fluorescent elixir appeared in his hand.
Xiao Yu smiled, took out a jade bottle from his arms, and put it in it. In the jade bottle, there was also a similar pill.
Putting the jade bottle on the stone table, he took out another jade bottle containing an elixir and put it on it as well.
Looking at the two jade bottles in front of him, even Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile happily.
Of these two jade bottles, two contain elixirs for accelerating cultivation, while the other contains elixirs for tempering the body.
They are Xiao Yu's achievements over the past month. Although they are few, they do not prevent Xiao Yu from being happy.
But the only regret is that the elixir for restoring fighting spirit was not refined at the beginning. After all, there were only four sets of medicinal materials.
But it was precisely because those four sets of medicinal materials provided Xiao Yu with the refining basis that he was lucky enough to successfully refine an elixir from the six sets of body-tempering medicinal materials.
Xiao Yu also secretly became narcissistic. With a talent like his, not even Furukawa could be as good as him.
Thirty medicinal materials, three elixirs, one-tenth of the elixir-forming rate, and it only took a month to develop the elixir.
If Yao Lao knew about it, he might eat Xiao Yu alive. Damn it, what kind of talent? This is much stronger than Yao Lao's talent for refining medicine. Moreover, Yao Lao is from the Yao clan and has basic abilities.
Not bad.
After putting away the jade bottle and sorting out the pile of medicine refining records, Xiao Yu prepared to go back to the house and have a good sleep. Even though it was still noon, he had been practicing elixirs for a month, so he couldn't take a good rest?
He plans to sell the three elixirs tomorrow in exchange for gold coins, just in time to find the elixir recipe. After all, developing the elixir recipe is really labor-intensive, and he doesn't want to experience life for this month anymore for the time being.
…………
the next day
Xiao Yu slept until noon before getting up. He slept for twelve hours, which made up for his mental loss in the past month.
"Ah~ I had such a comfortable sleep this time."
After stretching, Xiao Yu got up and washed himself. After ten minutes to tidy himself up, he left the small courtyard and aimed at the Miter Auction House.
If he sells the elixirs early and has the money, he can start refining the elixirs he needs. As long as he has the elixirs, his abnormal cultivation speed will reach a higher level.
Without stopping too much on the way, Xiao Yu quickly arrived at the Miter Auction House.
When the maid in the hall saw that it was the young man who bought the medicinal cauldron more than a month ago, she took Xiao Yu to the lounge and called Chief Liu over.
"It turns out to be little brother Xiao. I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm here this time. I wonder what you need?"
As soon as he came up, Mr. Liu greeted him warmly. He was not stupid. A future alchemist deserved his enthusiasm.
Xiao Yu is not a young man with a rough head. He is currently twenty-six years old in his heart. He naturally knows why Mr. Liu wants to be so close to him.
"You're welcome, Mr. Liu. I'm here this time not to buy things, but to sell them."
Xiao Yu smiled, then took out the two jade bottles from before and handed them to Chief Liu.
"Oh? Selling something?"
Manager Liu took the jade vase and was curious about what Xiao Yu could offer to sell to the Miter auction house.
But when he saw clearly what was in the jade bottle, his expression changed slightly, and then he asked cautiously: "Brother Xiao, is the pill in this jade bottle?"
Xiao Yu still smiled, glanced at him, and nodded.
"Hiss~"
Manager Liu took a breath of air and his eyes were filled with shock. He could not imagine that a young man could become an alchemist in just over a month.
Seeing Master Liu's performance, Xiao Yu naturally knew what he was thinking, and explained: "Master Liu, don't get me wrong, this is not made by me, but by my master. I can't make the elixir yet.
"
He doesn't want people to know that he is an alchemist. If someone digs deeper, it will be troublesome. There are only a few alchemists in the entire Gama Empire who are fifteen years old, and the grade of the elixir he refines is unknown.
How about it, if it reaches the top quality of the first grade, it will be great fun.
Not to mention that there will be many people checking his background. Once the Xiao family's senior officials find out that he can practice and is also an alchemist, they will be annoyed to death. He quite likes his current life and doesn't want to break it now.
.
As he said, he didn't want to show off, so it was best to avoid unnecessary trouble.
After hearing this, Chief Liu regained his composure and thought, "Let me just tell you, where can there be such a young alchemist."
Without doubting his presence, Manager Liu nodded: "I see, even though Brother Xiao wants to sell these three pills, he has to wait a little longer."
"Because Liu is not an alchemist and cannot identify the elixir, we have to ask Master Gu Ni to come and identify it."
This is a formal procedure. Xiao Yu nodded: "Mr. Liu, please excuse me. I'll wait for a while."
Manager Liu asked the maid to entertain Xiao Yu, then got up and left the lounge.
After a while, Manager Liu came back, and behind him was an old man in green clothes with some gray hair.
The old man's face was red. Although the green clothes on his body looked ordinary, there was a faint flow of light. Obviously, this clothes should have been blessed with some kind of magic core protection. There was a touch of arrogance that was difficult to conceal on his ordinary old face.
Xiao Yu's eyes swept over the old man's body, and finally stopped at the old man's chest, where something similar to a medicine furnace was painted. On the surface of the medicine furnace, two silver ripples shone with noble glory.
"Is that the mark of a second-grade alchemist? It's pretty good-looking, tsk tsk~" Xiao Yu thought to himself.
This alchemist robe should be the exclusive attire distributed by the Gama Empire Alchemist Association to every alchemist registered in the association. The quality is indeed good. If you like people fighting for it, the three-year period has come.
