Alchemy is the core gameplay for enhancing cultivation in Tread the Wind. Players achieve breakthroughs in combat power by refining elixirs of different ranks. The entire process involves obtaining alchemy recipes, planting materials, controlling the heat, and needs to be combined with cave construction and other gameplay. Today, I will introduce the alchemy gameplay in Tread the Wind to new players. Next, I will break down the key steps and hidden mechanisms in the alchemy process to help players efficiently produce high-quality elixirs.

The entrance to alchemy is located on the cave interface and requires completing the main quest to unlock. In the initial stage, it is recommended to upgrade the alchemy furnace to level 5, which can increase the production rate of blue elixirs from 12% to 35%. Alchemy recipes are mainly obtained through the mall or dungeon drops; for example, clearing the 10th floor of the Soul Tower guarantees a blue technique recipe. When refining a second-grade Windwalk Elixir, you need to plant Mystic Ice Grass and Crimson Flame Fruit in the herb garden in advance. Ordinary herbs take about 30 minutes to grow, and using the Immortal Incense can reduce this to 20 minutes. Note that the free alchemy attempts reset at 5 AM daily, so it's suggested to stockpile materials for concentrated refinement.

Herb planting requires reasonable planning of the herb garden layout. The cave herb garden initially only has 2 planting spots, and upgrading to level 3 unlocks the third spot. Prioritize planting the Mystic Ice Grass required for the Pulse Continuation Elixir, and use acceleration talismans to quickly harvest when mature. When planting Crimson Flame Fruits, pairing them with the fire-attribute spirit flame, Divine Flame, increases the yield by 15%. It is recommended to reserve 3 pieces of the Great Void Spirit Marrow, rewarded from the weekly Spirit Realm Top Rank activity, for breaking through to level 6 in the herb garden, unlocking the permission to plant purple herb seeds. High-level elixirs such as the Ninefold Concentration Elixir require the Dragon Saliva Herb, which can be obtained by teaming up to challenge the Immortal Martial副本挑战获得。每次服用上限为3次,优先消耗紫色续脉丹,每次提供1200修为。突破大境界前务必清空当日次数,例如筑基升结丹时,先吃满3颗再突破,次日重置后又能服用3颗。每周限购的造化丹必买,服用后1小时内挂机修为增加20%,建议搭配加速符在双倍活动日使用。炼制出的多余绿色丹药可分解为丹尘。
每日完成药圃收割、副本材料收集、丹方合成三项基础操作,配合双倍活动期的集中冲刺,可在15天内稳定产出紫色丹药。可以说掌握机制之后即使零氪玩家也能通过精细化操作实现修为反超。
这部分内容似乎被意外地截断了,我将根据上下文继续翻译剩余的部分:
High-level elixirs such as the Ninefold Concentration Elixir require the Dragon Saliva Herb, which can be obtained by teaming up to challenge the Immortal Martial Dungeon. Before reaching the Core Formation stage, the daily consumption limit is 3 times, and it is recommended to consume the purple Pulse Continuation Elixirs first, each providing 1200 cultivation points. Before making a major breakthrough, make sure to use up the daily limit, for example, when advancing from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation, consume 3 elixirs before the breakthrough, and after the reset the next day, you can take another 3. The limited weekly Creation Elixirs must be purchased, as they increase cultivation points by 20% for one hour after consumption. It is recommended to use these with acceleration talismans during double-event days. Excess green elixirs produced can be decomposed into Elixir Dust.

Completing the three basic operations of harvesting the herb garden, collecting dungeon materials, and synthesizing alchemy recipes every day, combined with a concentrated sprint during double-event periods, can stably produce purple elixirs within 15 days. After mastering the mechanics, even non-paying players can achieve a cultivation point advantage through meticulous operations.
