Bai Gu Dan is a very common type of tonic, and it also has different grades. The Bai Gu Dan used by Chu Xiao's family belongs to the middle grade, medium-grade Ren Dan. Taking one pill can guarantee three to five days without hunger. If it's a low-grade Ren Dan Bai Gu Dan, it can only guarantee one day's effect. If it's a high-grade Bai Gu Dan, it can even guarantee ten days or half a month.
Chu Xiao sat on the bed, took out a pill the size of a peanut from the Dan bottle, and immediately summoned the Cultivation System.
The optimization of Dan medicine is different from that of talismans. Talismans are adjusted in detail to become more perfect and closer to the Tao, while Dan medicine involves adjusting the Dan formula to enhance the fusion degree of the medicinal properties and yuanqi.
To refine a Dan medicine, first you need a Dan formula, then it's the fusion of various medicinal properties and primordial Qi during the refining process.
A good Dan Fang has a huge impact on the effect of Dan medicine. Similarly, the degree of fusion of medicinal properties and Yuan Qi will also affect the medicinal properties. The Dan Fang is dead, and the fusion of medicinal properties and Yuan Qi is alive, which can be adjusted during the refining process. If you have an excellent Dan furnace and a highly skilled alchemist, it will undoubtedly improve the fusion degree of Dan medicine.
Therefore, the optimization of Dan medicine is also carried out from these two aspects.
Primary optimization, only involving fusion degree.
"Target: Pigu Dan."
Grade: Zhongpin Rendan
Tan Fang: Wū Qí Líng Shòu Ròu 31.18%, Dōu Líng Cǎo 12.32%, Mèi Xiāng Dào 11.76%, Wú Huā Guǒ 9.19%, Diǎn Líng Gǔ 22.13%, Cǎi Líng Huā 10.23%, Xuè Líng Guǒ 3.19%.
Consistency: 77.19%.
"Ding! Honorable cultivator, you have chosen Reality Optimization. This optimization will consume 108 units of spiritual energy, which will be directly extracted from your body."
As the spiritual energy in his dantian was extracted, the Biegu Dan in his hand also underwent a subtle change, its color seeming to become even more translucent, and the faint medicinal fragrance becoming slightly thicker.
At this time, the properties of Biegu Dan also changed.
"Target: Pigu Dan."
Grade: Zhongpin Rendan
Tan Fang: Wū Qí Líng Shòu Ròu 31.18%, Dōu Líng Cǎo 12.32%, Mèi Xiāng Gǔ 11.76%, Wú Huā Guǒ 9.19%, Diǎn Líng Gǔ 22.13%, Cǎi Líng Huā 10.23%, Xuè Líng Guǒ 3.19%.
Consistency: 82.16%.
After optimization, the fusion degree of Beigudan was increased by 5%.
It may seem like 5% isn't a lot, but for an alchemist, even a 0.1% increase is a huge breakthrough.
As the optimization of Beigu Dan was completed, the long-awaited system prompt tone finally brought a hint of relief to Chu Xiao's face.
"Ding! Congratulations to the user for actively completing the second-grade optimization task, a reward of one spiritual root and twenty points of magical power, and also obtained the title of [Second-Grade Optimization Apprentice], please work hard to improve your cultivation and complete more system tasks."
Chu Xiao was very satisfied with this reward.
User: Chu Xiao.
Age: 15.
Sex: Male.
Linggen: 8.
Cultivation Level: Qi Refining 4th Stage.
Mana: 1 (130).
Cultivation Method: Basic Qi Refining Decision (No Ranks)
Divine ability: None.
Feeling the emptiness of his dantian, Chu Xiao hastily pulled out the high-grade yuan jade from his pocket and held it in his palm to absorb the dense yuan energy within.
He was not the first to recover his mana, and he had slowly figured out how to absorb yuanqi at a faster speed. It took him less than ten minutes, and his dantian was already full of mana. The feeling of being fully charged was truly exhilarating.
Chu Xiao took out another Biegu Dan and started optimizing it again.
"Ding! Congratulations to the user for completing the optimization of the Medium-grade Human-level Bu Gu Dan. As a special reward, two points of Fa Li are awarded."
After hearing the system prompt tone, Chu Xiao's face was quite surprised. It seemed that optimizing the Biegu Dan could still get a reward of law power.
Wow, this method of enhancing one's magical powers without needing to cultivate is truly ineffable!
When Chu Xiao's magical power reached one hundred and ninety-nine units, it could no longer be increased when optimized again.
He then found other middle-grade alchemists, but none of them could increase his magical powers.
It seems that optimizing Zhongpin Ren Dan can only gain Fa Li during the fourth stage of Qi Gong practice.
It's just like an online game, once a character's level is higher than that of a monster by a certain number of levels, fighting the monster will yield no experience.
Then Chu Xiao shifted his attention to the top-grade Human Dan.
At this moment, it was already late at night, but Chu Xiao had no sleepiness at all. He was excited and came to the kitchen again, finding a bottle of top-grade Ren Dan - Nourishing Spirit Dan.
"Ding, respected user of the Cultivation System, this Spirit Pill is a top-grade Human Pill that has exceeded the optimization category. Please upgrade your cultivation as soon as possible."
Chu Xiao was slightly stunned, then immediately remembered that when he optimized the lower-grade Earth Spirit Pill - Zi Ling Dan in the Fairy Building, a similar situation had occurred. It seemed that to optimize the high-grade Human Spirit Pill, his cultivation must be raised to at least the fifth stage of Qi Refining.
However, the optimized middle-grade Dan can't obtain Fa Li, and the optimized talismans are also the same.
What should I do?
There are only two ways to enhance magical power, one is to optimize the runes and elixirs, or refine the runes and elixirs or other things, and the other is to obtain titles, which can not only reward magical power but also spiritual roots.
If one can upgrade the title of "First-Rate Disciple" to a higher level, they will be rewarded with Spiritual Roots and Law Power, which will allow them to break through to the Fifth Stage of Qi Refining.
In addition, refining dan medicine is also possible.
Chu Xiao let out a soft sigh, knowing that today was not the day. He decided to head back to his workshop tomorrow and craft a mid-grade spell talisman instead!
After refining so many elixirs, Chu Xiao's spirit was somewhat exhausted, and he immediately fell onto the bed, quickly falling into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Chu Xiao was still asleep, feeling itchy in his nose and ears, suddenly opened his eyes to find that his sister Chu Yao was putting her hair into his ears.
"Don't sleep anymore, get up quickly, finish breakfast, and then go to the store with Dad and Mom. Father said he wants to personally teach you about making seals."
Chu Yao smiled and said.
"Stop making noise and sleep for a while, you go first."
Chu Xiao had a habit of sleeping in from his previous life and hated being woken up by others, which made him quite unhappy.
"I won't get up, I'll keep making trouble until you can't sleep."
Chu Yao was unstoppable.
"Oh dear, my aunt, spare me, will you?" Chu Xiao was on the verge of tears.
In the end, he still didn't get to fight Chu Yao, and with a dissatisfied expression, he got out of bed, washed up, and walked out into the garden outside his house. Just then, he saw his father fiddling with some potted landscapes, which were planted with all sorts of famous and expensive spiritual grasses, trees, and flowers that required meticulous care and were extremely delicate. Apart from ensuring sufficient spiritual energy and sunlight, they also needed to be watered at fixed times with specially made spiritual water.
Chu Xiao walked over and found Chu Jun standing in front of a small potted landscape, sighing. Needless to say, there must be something wrong with the potted landscape.
This bonsai is only as big as a washbasin and has a single orchid planted in it.
The fairy flower, similar to the immortal flowers of the previous life, is also spherical in shape, but without thorns. The color of the immortal flower is emerald green and drooping, with a crystal-like flower bud on top of the sphere. Inside the flower bud, there is a snowy white stamen that dances like a fairy.
The name of Camellia comes from the white flower stamens.
This fairy flower is not only for appreciation, but also secretes fairy milk in the flower bud, which is stored in the spherical stem. As the years go by, the quality of this fairy milk will become higher and higher.
This immortal milk is a very precious material for refining elixirs. If it reaches over 100 years old, one drop can be worth thousands of spirit coins.
This pot of Chu Jun's orchid has a history of eighty or ninety years, and it is treasured.
However, the cultivation conditions of this fairy flower are extremely harsh. Unless it is naturally grown, otherwise, a slight carelessness will cause problems with the fairy flower.
Chu Xiao found that on the flower buds of this pot of fairy flowers, some faint black spots had already appeared.
For African Violets, black spots on buds are a very serious problem.
The Chu army seemed to be unaware of Chu Xiao's arrival, and from the temporal table, he took out a small jade bottle. The jade bottle was crystal clear, with some strange symbols engraved on it. What caught people's attention most was a logo on it - a small mountain peak with a nine-dragon dan furnace suspended above it, emitting a light as sharp as a sword and as divine as a dragon. If Chu Xiao's memory served him right, this should be one of the three famous elixir brands of the Cultivation Alliance - Shu Shan brand.
Shu Mountain, a superpower in the Cultivation Alliance, mainly engaged in elixir business, occupying as high as 40% of the market share of elixir sales in the entire Cultivation Alliance. On the Tianyuan Continent, there are Shu Mountain's alchemy factories, sales companies, and retail elixir shops everywhere.
It is said that there are millions of alchemists under the banner of Shu Mountain, and every year, countless graduates from top colleges enter Shu Mountain to work as alchemists.
Shu Shan brand dan medicine is also a quality guarantee.
The Chu army carefully pulled out the bottle stopper, pinched a finger spell, suddenly pointed at the mouth of the jade bottle, and instantly a wave of magic power rippled from the mouth of the jade bottle. A drop of emerald green liquid flew out and dripped onto the bud of the immortal flower.
At that moment, Chu Xiao keenly sensed a faint wave of yuanqi emanating from the calyx of the immortal flower, which should be the effect of the emerald green medicinal properties.
As expected, the black spots on the flower buds are gradually disappearing.
Seeing the spiritual liquid take effect, Chu Jun also let out a deep breath of relief.
But in the next moment, his face changed again, and the black spots that had just disappeared reappeared.
Chu Jun's eyebrows furrowed deeply, and then he dripped another drop of emerald green. The result was still the same, the black spots disappeared for a while, but soon reappeared, stubbornly refusing to be cured.
"How can this be? This is a special effect potion produced by Shu Mountain, one bottle costs over 10,000 spiritual coins, how can it have no effect at all?"
The Chu army muttered to themselves.
Chu Xiao saw it with his own eyes, and his heart moved. In the Cultivation System, there was a special spiritual medicine planting system. No matter what kind of spiritual grass, tree or flower, they all belonged to the category of spiritual grass. I wonder if it can cure this fairy flower?
Chu Xiao immediately opened the Cultivation System and directly clicked on the Spiritual Medicine Planting System with his mind, quickly opening the interface of the Spiritual Medicine Planting System.
