Chapter 242: Alchemy Ruins Three Generations

Hearing Lin Zhangqing ask for her help, Hu Yunna nodded repeatedly and said happily: "Senior Brother Gao, this is no problem, just leave it to me."

"How many Red Refined Fire Copper ores do you have? If there are enough, they can indeed be refined into a second-tier alchemy furnace or artifact refining furnace."

"If that's the case, Senior Brother, you've made a fortune. A second-tier lower-grade alchemy furnace with Red Refined Crystal as the main material costs at least ten or twenty thousand spirit stones."

"A second-tier medium-grade costs about thirty or forty thousand, and a second-tier top-grade is even more expensive, about seventy or eighty thousand. This is already a price similar to a magic treasure."

"This is still because alchemy furnaces are usually relatively small, even if thirty or forty spirit medicines are put in, they don't actually need such a large space, so they are usually about half the size of an artifact refining furnace."

"Therefore, for the same second-tier lower-grade, the price of the two types of furnaces is also about double the difference, which is thirty or forty thousand spirit stones for a second-tier lower-grade artifact refining furnace."

Lin Zhangqing heard this and said with some surprise: "I didn't expect second-tier alchemy furnaces or artifact refining furnaces to be so expensive. Alchemy and artifact refining are indeed not something ordinary cultivators can afford to play with!"

"Yes! So in the cultivation world, there has always been the saying that alchemy ruins three generations and artifact refining destroys a lifetime!"

"The general meaning is that an ordinary cultivator family needs the efforts of three generations to cultivate a qualified alchemist."

"But learning artifact refining, you might not be able to turn over for a lifetime! Because artifact refining only has success and failure, there is no third possibility, and there is no such thing as a one or two percent success rate."

Zhao Mingxia sighed! Hu Yunna nodded and continued: "Of course, you can also choose to use an ordinary second-tier alchemy furnace. If the material is not Red Refined Crystal, then seven or eight thousand spirit stones should be able to buy one."

"But for the same alchemist, using two different alchemy furnaces will have a one or two percent difference in success rate, and artifact refining is the same situation."

Hearing the two Junior Sisters say this, Lin Zhangqing didn't know anything else, but he knew that the Red Refined Fire Copper ores in his hand were much more precious than he thought.

However, after consideration, Lin Zhangqing still felt that it was most appropriate to continue to hand it over to Hu Yunna to handle. He knew nothing about artifact refining, let alone how to refine it into Red Refined Crystal.

Even if the Lin family could refine it, they definitely wouldn't be able to refine it into an alchemy furnace or artifact refining furnace.

And handing it to others, it might be even more unreliable, so it was most appropriate to continue to hand it over to Hu Yunna to handle!

After thinking clearly, Lin Zhangqing took several storage bags from Chen Zi Ya's hand and handed them all to Hu Yunna.

He said: "The dharma artifacts and Red Refined Fire Copper ores are all here. There should be about two hundred and sixty cubic meters of ores."

"Look at the quality yourself; I don't understand it. How to arrange these specifically, I will leave it entirely to you to handle. Anyway, I trust you."

Hu Yunna was shocked to hear there were more than two hundred cubic meters. Roughly calculated according to ten cubic meters to refine one portion of Red Refined Crystal Copper.

That is twenty-six portions of Red Refined Crystal Copper, plus some auxiliary materials, which can already refine twenty-six alchemy furnaces or thirteen artifact refining furnaces. Of course, this is only if everything goes smoothly.

This is a large sum of spirit stones, and Lin Zhangqing just handed it to her like this, which made her feel that this trust was truly heavy.

At this time, Zhao Mingxia suddenly asked: "Senior Brother Lin, do you have any spirit medicines to hand over to me for refining?"

Lin Zhangqing smiled lightly: "Junior Sister, although there are none now, I will definitely have many spirit medicines in the future that will trouble you to help me refine into pills. Don't worry."

Zhao Mingxia nodded and remembered what Lin Zhangqing said.

Hu Yunna had finished refining a storage bag at this time and was checking the quality of the ores.

After roughly looking at it, she said to Lin Zhangqing: "Senior Brother Gao, it is estimated that twenty-six to thirty portions of Red Refined Crystal Copper can be refined. When the time comes, I will arrange the number of the two types of furnaces."

Lin Zhangqing nodded, "I said everything is left to Junior Sister; you make the decision."

"Just don't sell them after they are refined. Keep them for my small shop as the treasure of the shop."

Hu Yunna was a bit surprised: "Senior Brother Gao, are you going to open a shop? Where do you plan to open it?" Zhao Mingxia also said happily: "Senior Brother Lin, open the shop in the Qingyun City market! When we have time, we can go to your shop to visit, and maybe we can even pull some business for you!"

Lin Zhangqing and Chen Zi Ya looked at each other, and then he smiled lightly: "I have already planned it. The small shop will be temporarily set in the Qingyun City market! But this has to wait until I finish handling the family affairs before I have time to handle the shop opening."

Hearing Lin Zhangqing's words, the two Junior Sisters were very happy. Zhao Mingxia decided to go to the shop to play more in the future and also put things in Lin Zhangqing's shop for consignment.

Hu Yunna knew where to find Lin Zhangqing in the future, and she was secretly happy in her heart, never again like this time, where Lin Zhangqing suddenly couldn't be found!

Moreover, she also wanted to use her connections to see if she could help Lin Zhangqing find a better location to open a shop.

It's just that before things were settled, she didn't intend to say it, preparing to give Lin Zhangqing a surprise when the time came.

After talking about the business, everyone started chatting.

However, during this period, Chen Zi Ya asked how they found this place.

Hu Yunna said she heard from her master that Chen Zi Ya and Senior Brother Gao were back, so she went to find Zhao Mingxia and went to Chengxia Peak together to find Chen Zi Ya and Senior Brother Gao.

They didn't find them, so they asked other senior sisters and junior sisters on Chengxia Peak, and finally found them here.

Chen Zi Ya nodded and didn't dwell on this question anymore.

The four people drank tea and chatted together, one sentence after another, and a few hours passed quickly! When the sky was about to darken, Hu Yunna and Zhao Mingxia said goodbye and left reluctantly.

Chen Zi Ya stayed behind. There were too many people just now, and Lin Zhangqing was leaving tomorrow, so she actually had a lot to say to him.

But Lin Zhangqing already knew what she wanted to say, so he directly held her in his arms and started to...

When Chen Zi Ya left in the end, she didn't say what she wanted to say.

Early the next morning, after completing the cultivation, he met with Chen Zi Ya, and Lin Zhangqing went to say goodbye to Great-Grandmother and Senior Chen Jieyi.

Finally, it was Senior Chen Jieyi who took Chen Zi Ya and sent Lin Zhangqing to outside the mountain gate of the Qingyun Sect. Before parting, she threw another storage bag to him.

Telling him that inside were one hundred portions of first-tier top-grade ice crystals, and telling him to be a bit clever and come back to see her alive.

After Lin Zhangqing thanked her, he looked at Chen Zi Ya deeply, nodded at her, and then flew away on his sword. He wouldn't make the parting so sentimental.

He had already studied the direction clearly through that jade slip map last night, knowing where to go and what places he would pass through on the way. Anyway, he wouldn't get lost.

And after leaving the Qingyun Sect mountain gate, Lin Zhangqing released Chu Yi and Chu Er, and put on an ordinary-looking spirit-concealing mask for himself.

At Great-Grandmother's place, he didn't wear a spirit-concealing mask to show respect, so on Chengxia Peak, he showed his true face.

Now that he was out of the Qingyun Sect, he definitely had to wear a mask. He had quite a few of these spirit-concealing masks now, more than a dozen, enough for him to use for a long time.

At that time, the Clan Leader piloted the Wind-Running Boat and took three days to rush to Qingyun City. If he flew himself, it might take about ten days, but he couldn't wait that long.

So, he decided to let Chu Yi and Chu Er fly higher and expand the early warning range as much as possible.

Then he let Lu Youqiang take him to rush on the road with the Earth Escape Technique. In this way, he could rush back in about four or five days.

Of course, in places with many people, only he himself could fly on his sword. Only when there were no people did he dare to let Lu Youqiang take him to rush on the road, otherwise, it would be troublesome if exposed.

However, there was still one thing to do now.
