Next, Lin Xiu found a spirit medicine purchasing shop and sold all the remaining spirit herbs and spirit medicines in the storage bag, exchanging for ten thousand middle-grade essence stones.
One middle-grade Origin Stone was equivalent to 10,000 low-grade Origin Stones.
If Lin Xiu's spirit herbs and spirit medicines were used to refine pills, their value would definitely be more than ten times. However, in order to have a sum of starting capital, he could only sell them.
After obtaining 10,000 middle-grade Origin Stones, Lin Xiu started to purchase Alchemy Arts and pill formulas.
Alchemy skills were naturally divided into levels, just like martial artists, there were mortal and spirit levels.
However, there were very few Spirit Grade Alchemists. Each of them had an extremely important position. To become a Spirit Grade Alchemist, one needed to go through a lot of hard work. It was ten times or a hundred times more difficult than becoming a Spirit Grade Martial Artist.
But to Lin Xiu, he wasn't worried about the difficulty at all.
The level of an Alchemist was related to the level of the pills they refined. In other words, as long as you have the ability to refine Spirit Grade pills, then you are a Spirit Grade Alchemist.
After Lin Xiu bought an Alchemy Technique Introduction and a Golden Sore Pill formula, he left.
Then, he read through the book and the pill formula. After memorizing it, he tried to pass it to the leveling agent to earn proficiency points.
However, the introductory alchemy technique was only a theoretical knowledge book. The Golden Wound Pill recipe was not a cultivation method, so there were no proficiency points to farm. In other words, the system proficiency points could not allow Lin Xiu to master alchemy just by relying on alchemy knowledge and the recipe.
"As expected, unlike cultivation techniques and martial arts, alchemy must go through the actual alchemy process to gain proficiency points.”Lin Xiu realized this.
After that, he went to find an armament shop and bought a set of the lowest grade alchemy equipment. It cost him 1,000 middle-grade Primordial Stones.
Then, he went to other shops to buy a large number of herbs needed for the Golden Sore Pill.
When all of this was done, the 10,000 middle-grade Origin Stones he had on him were almost all gone.
When everything was ready, Lin Xiu found an inn and asked for a quiet room. Then, he took out the alchemy furnace and other equipment and began to refine pills.
The core of alchemy wasn't the common theoretical knowledge and pill formulas, but the experience and insights accumulated in the actual process.
If an alchemist did not have the ability to refine pills, no matter how good the spirit herbs, the alchemy furnace, the cultivation, or the high-grade pill formula were, they would not be able to refine good pills.
Lin Xiu already understood the basic knowledge of pill refinement, and he also memorized the pill formula of the Golden Sore Pill that he wanted to refine, so the moment he sat down, he started to start a fire to refine pills.
The fire used to refine pills was not an ordinary fire. It needed to be powered by true qi or spiritual qi. As long as one placed one's hand on the alchemy furnace and injected spiritual qi, the alchemy furnace would start to burn.
During the process of refining pills, alchemists not only needed to use spiritual energy to control the flames, but they also needed to put the medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace step by step to refine them into pills. During this process, they had to pay attention to the temperature at all times, as well as the technique and order of placing the medicinal herbs. There could not be any mistakes.
Therefore, every qualified alchemist needed to go through countless practices before they could gradually master a pill formula.
It was Lin Xiu's first time trying to refine pills, so this was naturally very novel. The first time, his technique was very unfamiliar. Not long after he put the medicinal ingredients in, a burnt smell came out of the pill furnace.
The first time, without a doubt, the pill refinement failed!
However, Lin Xiu did not care about the pill refinement failure this time. His attention was focused on his system interface.
He found that in the system's attribute panel, there was an additional attribute:
"Secondary profession: Alchemist.
[Pill formula: Golden Sore Pill (Beginner) Proficiency Points (1/100)]
Seeing the appearance of this message, Lin Xiu immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
As expected, no matter if it was cultivation techniques or martial arts techniques, there were no conditions, so he could directly cultivate them to earn proficiency points. However, alchemy was different. Just having the pill formula and knowledge was not enough. Only by going through the entire alchemy process could he earn 1 proficiency point.
It was much simpler this way.
Lin Xiu no longer focused on refining the pill. He just placed the medicinal ingredients into the pill refining furnace again and again according to the process, controlling the flame to refine the pill over and over again.
Once, twice, thrice, five times, six times, seven times, he failed every time.
By the tenth time, the System's proficiency had reached 10 points, and his mastery of the Golden Sore Pill's recipe had risen to Master.
In an instant, streams of pill refining insights and experiences regarding the Golden Sore Pill naturally rose in Lin Xiu's mind. Lin Xiu started refining once again.
The eleventh time, the pill was completed!
What floated out of the alchemy furnace was no longer a burnt smell, but the fragrance of medicinal pills. Lin Xiu beckoned with his hand, and three Golden Sore Pills flew out from it, falling into his hand.
Observing carefully, he discovered that the quality of these three Golden Sore Pills had reached seven points.
Apart from the grade of the pills, there was also the grade. From low to high, there was a total of ten points. Six points were qualified, seven points were good grade, eight points were high grade, nine points were supreme grade, and ten points were perfect grade. As for those below six percent, they were all unqualified. Some of the unqualified pills might be effective, but some might become poison. Therefore, the pills that could be circulated in the market were all above six percent.
After successfully concocting the Golden Sore Pill, Lin Xiu took a short break, then continued to farm proficiency points.。。
