Zhang Ye woke up in the evening, after sleeping for a while, his spirit had recovered a lot, but his true energy was still greatly depleted.
Zhang Ye couldn't help but sigh, refining elixirs was indeed not an easy task.
Firstly, the cultivation cycle of medicinal materials, the origin of spiritual fields, and the grade of dan furnaces are all difficult problems. Even if these are all settled, there is still the consumption of energy when refining elixirs, and the cost of recovering energy, which must be carefully considered.
Zhang Ye was an exception, of course. If it were someone else, they would need to have at least a foundation of five layers to be able to smoothly operate the fourth-grade dan furnace. To be on the safe side, it would be best if they had entered the divided spirit period. But investing in a cultivator who has entered the divided spirit period is a very frightening cost. They also have to consider the success rate without Golden Lotus.
Zhang Ye concluded that the success or failure of alchemy ultimately depends on the final separation and removal of impurities from the medicinal materials.
Strictly speaking, Zhang Ye's first successful alchemy was due to the help of Jinyu in expelling the evil poison, otherwise, whether it was experience or cultivation, Zhang Ye's refining of fourth-grade elixirs was somewhat beyond his power.
After summarizing the experience of the first time, Zhang Ye modified "Essentials of Alchemy" again. This time he was more confident, grasping fire and rhythm better, consuming less true energy.
But he didn't start right away, because recovering his true energy also took time...
Today, I failed again!
The next day, after his true energy recovered, Zhang Ye proceeded with the refinement of the second furnace of elixir. However, in the end, it still fell short by a little, and his efforts were all for naught.
Opening the dan furnace and looking at the burnt medicinal residue inside, Zhang Ye felt a pang of heartache.
"This is actually a fourth-grade Ling Huang grass, plus auxiliary medicine materials worth ten Ju Yuan Dan, and it's been wasted like this."
"Don't be discouraged, even the original Tai Xuan True Person's alchemy didn't achieve a 90% success rate. From what I know, even if you improve the quality of the materials and use a fifth-grade dan furnace, with an experienced Shenxiu cultivator in charge of refining fourth-grade Ling Huang Dan, the success rate is only around 70-80%. You have a chance."
Zi Yi is a mentor who, despite his cold demeanor, always provides encouragement whenever Zhang Ye needs guidance.
Tonight, I regained some confidence. After summarizing the reasons for failure, it was found that the understanding of the fire nature of Siyang was not deep enough, and it could not be better grasped.
Furthermore, Zhang Ye's understanding of the seventeen medicinal materials is not detailed enough, so he cannot grasp the best fire timing. Also, after all, Zhang Ye only laid the foundation for the second layer, his magical powers are not strong enough, and in the end, when it comes to the final firing process, the true energy cannot be sustained.
The last reason is that this time Jin Ya didn't spray out that ring of light.
After the last time, Xiao's abilities hadn't fully recovered. With the battle a few days ago and helping Zhang Ye refine pills yesterday, Jin Ya was extremely exhausted and didn't wake up in time to help Zhang Ye.
At this point, Zhang Ye put down these things and summarized the insights he had gained about fire control and mana application. He was confident that next time he refined the elixir, his mana consumption would be less and his endurance longer, and his fire control should also be better.
Zhang Ye had even more insights, and the 2.0 version of Alchemy's essence didn't look right to him either. With a stroke of his brush, he added some patches to the 2.0 version, turning it into 2.01...
It was already late in the evening, Zhang Ye walked out of the small courtyard, by the sea, looking at the distant sunset like a rose. Having gotten used to the night sky and starlight, Zhang Ye only then discovered that the setting sun by the sea was so beautiful.
"Master sister will definitely like this scene."
Zhang Ye said something that didn't make sense. He shook his head to clear it, and saw a transparent bottle floating over in mid-air.
That's right, it's floating, not flying.
This is actually a simple aerial formation array, in which just half of the concentrated pill's true energy is enough to make this bottle fly very far.
When Zhang Ye first arrived on the island, he saw that there were people selling this kind of thing. At that time, Zhang Ye asked: "What is this thing?"
"That little girl selling bottles said, 'It's a drifting bottle that can carry your wishes and fly very far away. When the drifting bottle reaches a distant place and falls into someone's hands, that person is the destined one. Girls love this thing the most.'"
Zhang Ye and Zi Yi found it utterly unbelievable. Spending ten dan medicines just to make the bottle fly aimlessly, they must have water in their brains, and didn't know why girls liked it.
。。。
Zhang Ye happened to see the drifting bottle floating above his own courtyard. He couldn't help but think it was fun, raised his hand and waved it around, as if greeting the bottle.
Pounce
The bottle fell down.
Zhang was confused, holding a transparent bottle, and glanced around with a sly look, seeing no one else, hesitated for a moment, smashed the bottle, and took out the paper inside to take a look.
"Girl. To meet is fate, dare you drink with me to intoxication 36,000 times? Forced by the island, western wind Xuān."
"You're wrong!" Zhang Ye shouted into the air. He shouted for a while but to no avail, this note wouldn't fly away on its own.
This is going to be bad.
The gate of the small courtyard opened slightly, and Su Qing came out with a sigh: "Young master, who are you talking to?"
Zhang Ye said: "I received a message in a bottle."
Su Qing ran over and took the note, looked at it, and laughed while holding her stomach: "This is written for a girl, why did you take it."
"So I suspect this bottle is for you."
Su Qing said: "Qing'er doesn't want anyone else's drift bottle, just follow the young master. It's been some days on the island, and the young master is also bored. Since we have a destined encounter, why not go drink wine to dispel boredom?"
"But I'm not Little Swallow."
"Whatever, just go. If you want to dress up like a young girl, let Qing'er do it. Master will definitely look prettier than Qing'er." Su Qing laughed and said.
Since there was nothing to do, he went to take a look. After instructing Su Qing not to run around randomly, Zhang Ye headed towards the other end of the island. The famous and expensive Xifeng Pavilion was well-known. When Zhang Ye first arrived on the island, he had already seen an advertisement for Xifeng Pavilion...
"Really, Huang Jian just died like that?"
The western wind pavilion is like a tavern in the mortal world, with many people seated inside, and all sorts of noise coming out one after another.
"That little guy is really unlucky, letting a newly-established yellow-haired kid clean him up. This time it's a big show, last time there was a rumor that the Kunlun Xianjing Zhenyao Tower had cracks, indicating that the heavenly calamity has arrived. This matter is not over yet, and it seems that the East Sea will have to make an enemy of the Tai Xuan Gate again."
"That's right, that kid is really something, lucky we ran fast last time."
Amidst the whispers, Zhang Ye walked into the Xifeng Pavilion with his hands behind his back.
Those guys who were drinking and talking saw Zhang Ye and got scared, immediately getting up and running away.
“。。。”
Zhang Ye felt speechless, but he also knew that during their previous battle by the sea, these few guys were also the kind to abandon their companions and run away.
After wandering around for a while, looking at all sorts of people drinking and making merry, Zhang Ye went upstairs to the second floor.
