Chapter 24: Is it like breathing fire when kissing?
After taking out the alchemy furnace, Chu Feng opened his mouth and a small, pure white flame flew out.
Seeing Chu Feng suddenly breathe fire from his mouth, Su Xiaoxiao was startled. If Chu Feng suddenly breathed fire while she was..., wouldn't she be terrified?
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxiao blushed, but she dared not disturb Chu Feng and simply sat quietly watching.
As his cultivation level improved, Chu Feng's alchemical fire also became much stronger than before. Before refining pills this time, he squeezed out a drop of essence blood and dripped it onto the alchemical fire.
Then, a series of incantations were cast, and crackling sounds came from the pill fire. It then rolled around continuously. Once the pill fire calmed down, the temperature of the flame rose again by a large margin.
This is a method of nurturing fire that Chu Feng comprehended in his previous life. The elixir fire he nurtures will one day give birth to a fire spirit, and it will never betray its master.
This flame is no less powerful than the fires of heaven and earth.
Once everything was ready, Chu Feng began heating the furnace and then purifying the medicinal liquid.
Danlou's Hu Liren said that Hu Mugen and Iron-spined Orchid cannot perfectly blend together, which is actually reasonable.
The growth of *Hu Mugen* requires the strongest and most masculine energy, while *Tiejilan* requires the weakest and most yin energy.
When the fusion of Yin and Yang forces is disrupted, it will explode. The explosion of a peak second-grade pill is equivalent to a blow from a Yuan Dan stage cultivator.
Generally speaking, alchemists are weaker than cultivators of the same level. Learning alchemy takes more time than cultivation. If all the time is spent learning alchemy, how can there be time for cultivation?
Therefore, alchemists with low skill levels will generally choose to abandon any pill formula containing Hu Mugen and Tiejilan.
Because alchemy is also linked to cultivation level, a first-grade alchemist has the cultivation level of Qi Refining, a second-grade alchemist has the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment, a third-grade alchemist has the cultivation level of Core Formation, and so on.
Of course, some very ordinary second-grade pills can also be refined by alchemists with rich experience in alchemy, such as Wu Heng, who has been refining pills for many years.
For Chu Feng, alchemy is no problem at all. As long as he has enough strength, he can refine any kind of pill.
Alchemy, weapon crafting, talisman making, and formation formation all require a certain understanding of the fundamental principles of heaven and earth, and an comprehension of the great Dao of heaven and earth. Chu Feng was a Martial Emperor in his previous life, so he naturally had no shortage of these.
Therefore, Chu Feng's refining of the Grade 2 Marrow Nourishing Pill went very smoothly.
What he needs to do now is to reduce the quality of some of the Nourishing Marrow Pills so that they don't develop pill patterns, lest the top-grade pills cause an earthquake and bring trouble.
As for the quantity, if neither he nor Su Yongquan and Su Xiaoxiao say, who would know?
Whether it's purifying medicinal herbs, controlling the fire, processing solutions, separating liquids, condensing pills, separating pills, forming pills, or collecting pills, Chu Feng's movements are as smooth as flowing water, giving people a pleasing feeling.
As Su Xiaoxiao watched, she became completely absorbed in Chu Feng's alchemy techniques. At that moment, Su Xiaoxiao even wanted to learn alchemy herself. What Chu Feng was doing was not alchemy at all; it was clearly expounding the great principles of heaven and earth.
Harmony and nature are one of the manifestations of the great principles of heaven and earth.
Chu Feng discovered that as long as the seed did not emit that mysterious aura, the pills he refined would not have any pill patterns.
Of course, the number of pills produced is still twelve.
Wu Heng gave him thirty portions of medicinal herbs, but Chu Feng couldn't possibly calculate it according to thirty portions. He couldn't very well tell Wu Heng that his success rate in refining pills was one hundred percent, could he?
Even the most skilled alchemist has a chance of failure.
Therefore, in order to prevent Wu Heng from having any doubts, Chu Feng planned to calculate based on a 60% success rate. In other words, he wanted Wu Heng to subconsciously believe that he had successfully refined twenty batches of pills.
Five pieces per batch, twenty batches make one hundred pieces.
After refining nine batches of pills without any pill patterns, Chu Feng finally prepared to refine the top-grade Marrow Nourishing Pill.
There are a total of 108 pills from the nine furnaces. The extras can be left for Master Su and the others.
The remaining twenty-one portions of medicinal herbs were all refined into top-grade marrow-nourishing pills.
The reason Chu Feng refined so many Marrow Nourishing Pills was mainly to improve the aptitude of the Su family members; otherwise, when he reached the peak of the Dao, they would still be ordinary cultivators.
A cultivator's lifespan is limited, and Chu Feng didn't want to spend every day searching for elixirs to extend his lifespan.
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes widened; she now admired her husband to the extreme.
Thirty batches of pills, and not a single failure? How is that possible? I've never heard of such an alchemist!
Moreover, Chu Feng produces twelve pills per batch, but didn't he tell Wu Heng that each batch produces nine pills?
According to the agreement between Chu Feng and Master Wu, didn't Chu Feng make a fortune?
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's shocked expression, Chu Feng felt a little smug: "Xiaoxiao, if you like alchemy, I can teach you in the future."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him strangely and said, "Husband, you made a lot of pills this time. You only gave five pills to Master Wu for each batch. Didn't we get much more than Master Wu?"
Chu Feng laughed and said, "That's not all. I'll only give Wu Heng a hundred of the lowest-grade pills at most. The remaining two hundred and fifty-two top-grade marrow-nourishing pills are all ours."
Wu Heng received less than half of what he had received.
Su Xiaoxiao patted her chest and said, "Husband, you're amazing! I admire you so much!"
Chu Feng almost got a nosebleed from watching Xiao Xiao's actions. She was calling out "Husband" while her little rabbit was jumping around. How could she stand it?
"Xiaoxiao, sit and cultivate for a while. I'll forge a few more weapons for you." After saying that, Chu Feng quickly calmed his mind and handed over a bottle of marrow-nourishing pills.
Women are such strange creatures! Every little thing they do is unbearable! How come I didn't notice this in my past life?
The Marrow Nourishing Pill is different from other pills; it is a pill that repairs and strengthens the foundation of one's cultivation. It can be taken by people of any cultivation level, even ordinary people.
Of course, for cultivators at too high a level, eating it would be as good as not eating it at all, since the grade of the pill is too low.
Since Chu Feng was going to refine weapons, Su Xiaoxiao could only sit on the edge of the hall to cultivate.
Fortunately, the Su family's hall was large enough that it wasn't too crowded.
Before leaving, Su Yongquan handed Chu Feng a storage bag containing a large number of low-grade spirit stones, as well as a large amount of various ores and medicinal herbs.
In addition, the storage bags of Liu Yunchuan, Zhou Guoyun, Qin Yueming, and Zhou Dongqing, who were killed by Chu Feng, also contained a large number of low-grade spirit stones, as well as various materials for alchemy and weapon crafting.
In addition to these, there are a large number of gold tickets and coins, as well as some miscellaneous items. When he has time, Chu Feng will sort them out and remove any unnecessary items that don't need to take up space.
After taking out a large pile of refining materials, Chu Feng put all the storage bags and the pills he had just refined into his own storage bag.
Then, they prepared to begin forging weapons.
