Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Alchemy for Beginners, Second-Hand Furnace Cauldron_1
[Name: Luo Changfeng!]
[Lifespan: 20 years+]
[Cultivation: Viscera Refinement Initial Stage+ (300/1000)]
[Qi-Blood: 1650 (-0) (ps: Safe usable Qi-Blood is 165 points!)]
[Cultivation Technique: Mortal Finest Grade·Violent Tiger Force (Comprehension: 100%+), Mortal Finest Grade·Feng Ying Step (Comprehension: 20%+) (Incomplete), Mortal Finest Grade·Bursting Fist (Comprehension: 10%+)]
[Profession: Alchemy (Comprehension: 0.01%+)]
The attributes before him were the result of his continuous improvement over the past few days.
The experience value for the Initial Stage of Viscera Refinement had already reached three hundred.
He was still seven hundred experience points away from the next minor realm.
As for Qi-Blood, it seemed to have increased slightly due to the strength improvement of the clan members and the addition of two newborns.
This had led to a minor increase in the overall Qi-Blood value of the family.
Regarding the increase in comprehension of the Feng Ying Step,
it was something Luo Changfeng had managed to achieve by spending a certain amount of Qi-Blood to directly “pay” for the upgrade.
Cultivation and strength were both very important,
but movement speed was equally crucial.
Moreover, even the incomplete version of Feng Ying Step could reach the level of Mortal Finest Grade.
Luo Changfeng was somewhat curious, what exactly would happen if he increased the comprehension level of the Feng Ying Step to one hundred percent?
Besides, there were two other points worth mentioning.
The plus sign behind the Mortal Finest Grade Cultivation Technique Violent Tiger Force had been clicked by Luo Changfeng before.
The golden finger had informed him that to evolve the Violent Tiger Force beyond the Mortal Finest Grade to the Yellow Grade lower-tier, it would cost a whopping five thousand Qi-Blood.
Seeing the amount of Qi-Blood required, Luo Changfeng immediately gave up on the idea of upgrading the Violent Tiger Force.
Also, after twenty-odd days of continuous learning,
he had finally… touched the threshold of entry-level Alchemy.
He could finally start to upgrade his alchemy profession.
“How much Qi-Blood is needed to raise the proficiency of alchemy to one percent?”
Luo Changfeng asked in his mind.
[50 Qi-Blood]
“Oh? Only 50? That’s quite cheap…”
Without much hesitation, Luo Changfeng immediately spent fifty points of Qi-Blood to increase the comprehension level of alchemy to one percent.
[Deducting 50 Qi-Blood…]
[Increasing Comprehension…]
As the cool voice gradually echoed in Luo Changfeng’s mind,
the next moment, his brain felt as though it had been struck hard.
Suddenly, a vast torrent of memories was forcefully stuffed into his head by the golden finger.
In Qingshi Town, within an ancient courtyard, beneath the Stone Pavilion,
It took Luo Changfeng quite a while to gradually digest that immense flood of memories.
Merely a one-percent increase in comprehension,
felt to Luo Changfeng as though he had personally experienced the life of an ordinary alchemist.
“So this is what they call the art of Alchemy?”
“No wonder the price of elixirs remains so high on this continent…”
“It turns out, becoming a qualified alchemist.”
“Is such a difficult task…”
Underneath the Stone Pavilion, Luo Changfeng took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.
At this moment, his complexion was slightly pale, seemingly due to his mind bearing a massive amount of memories.
“Continue to increase the comprehension of the alchemy technique by one percent…”
Luo Changfeng silently gave the command in his heart.
[Deducting 100 Qi-Blood…]
[Increasing Comprehension…]
The cold voice once again echoed in his mind.
A vast flood of memories was again forcibly crammed into Luo Changfeng’s mind by the golden finger.
Pain, intense pain, truly intense pain.
His head was both swelling and aching.
Even Luo Changfeng suspected that if it weren’t for his cultivation having already reached the Viscera Refinement Initial Stage.
Being directly subjected to this, he might very well have encountered some problems.
Previously, to digest that one percent of comprehension, Luo Changfeng had spent about half an hour.
But this time… he spent a full two hours.
Only then did he completely assimilate all the memories in his mind that didn’t belong to him.
“Hoo…”
Taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling, he couldn’t help but remark in a low voice, “This path of alchemy is truly profound and extensive…”
Besides that, another point that Luo Changfeng was somewhat worried about was.
He did not know whether the improvement in the art of alchemy only increased the Qi-Blood Value by fifty points each time.
Or was it that the Qi-Blood Value needed to be doubled with each consumption?
If it were merely fifty points of Qi-Blood Value, he could raise his comprehension level of the alchemical arts to a high level in a very short time.
But if each one percent increase in comprehension required the Qi-Blood Value to double.
Then, to raise his level of comprehension of the alchemical arts to a certain degree.
The time it would take was somewhat incalculable.
“If I want to continue to raise my alchemy comprehension by one percent, how much Qi-Blood Value will it consume?”
Luo Changfeng asked tentatively in his mind.
[200 Qi-Blood Value!]
The response from the golden finger was very straightforward.
“Directly doubled to two hundred points of Qi-Blood Value?”
“As expected…”
Luo Changfeng smiled helplessly and shook his head.
However, such consumption was considered reasonable.
After all, it encompassed the entirety of the alchemy path.
Even if it were just one percent of comprehension, for an ordinary alchemist, that might very well be what they pursue all their life but cannot obtain.
“With a comprehension level of two percent in the art of alchemy, suppressing that young girl’s extreme coldness temporarily should not be a problem.”
“But if we want to completely solve Luo Youwei’s physical condition, I’m afraid it’s going to be a bit troublesome…”
Thinking this, Luo Changfeng stood up straight away.
He walked toward a special Furnace Cauldron placed in the courtyard.
The Furnace Cauldron had been bought as a second-hand item by Luo An, who had spent a total of fifty thousand taels of gold a short while ago.
Moreover, it was said that Luo An got it quite cheaply.
The seller of the Furnace Cauldron was in urgent need of money, resulting in this phenomenon.
Otherwise, even if it cost eighty thousand or even one hundred thousand taels of gold, one might not be able to buy a Furnace Cauldron.
Of course, there is a prerequisite here.
That is, a Furnace Cauldron that can be used for Alchemy.
If it were just a common cauldron, it would not fetch such an expensive price.
“Let’s give it a try…”
“With the boost of two percent comprehension in alchemy, there shouldn’t be too big of an issue…”
At the Luo Family Ancestral Land, within the courtyard where the Ancestor of the Luo Family resided,
Luo Changfeng was focusing intensely on refining an Elixir known as the Crimson Flame Elixir.
As for the grade of the Elixir, it is determined by the age of the herbs as well as the strength of the alchemist’s ability.
Meanwhile, in the room where the Luo Family Patriarch dealt with various political affairs and trivial matters,
Luo Ping, Luo An, Luo Yong, and Luo Chuan were discussing how to deal with the strategies of Blackwind Stockade.
However, rather than saying that Luo Ping, Luo An, Luo Yong, and Luo Chuan were discussing this matter,
It would be more accurate to say that Luo Chuan was presenting his own plan while Luo Ping, Luo An, and Luo Yong listened silently to the scheme he proposed.
