Chapter 24: The First Alchemy

First alchemy

Usually alchemy, divided into four parts. The first is the selection of materials, which is also the most important step.

The quality and right or wrong of the materials selected directly affect the quality and success of the elixir. This is crucial, and requires careful screening by the alchemist, as well as accumulated experience.

Once the materials have been selected, it is time to refine. The so-called refining is to put various herbs into the Dan furnace in the main and secondary procedures to extract the essence of the herbs themselves and remove the impurities contained in them.

After completing these two steps, the next step is the most critical part, Rong Dan. As the name suggests, it is a combination of various extracted medicinal materials.

In this link, the alchemist's precise fire control ability and skilled technique are required, that is, the application of spiritual power.

The slightest carelessness will lead to the destruction of the prepared materials, and even the explosion of the furnace will injure itself.

After the success of Rong Dan, it is Ning Dan, that is, the Dan Cheng stage. During this period, it is also necessary for the alchemist to continuously concentrate his mental power and master its heat until the pill is fully formed.

Through the narration of the old man in Nanyuan, the starry sky had a general understanding of the basic steps and methods of refining the elixir. I didn't expect refining the pill to be so cumbersome.

"The name of this thing is Dan Yun Ding, it is a high-grade alchemy furnace, don't underestimate this Dan Yun Ding, in the process of refining the pill, its role is very large, it can not only speed up the Dan, but also greatly improve the probability of the success of the pill.

At the same time, it also has a great protective effect on the alchemist, refining the pill below the seventh grade, even if it is a fried furnace, it will not hurt the alchemist in the slightest. Even if it is refining more than seven grades of pills, it will play a certain auxiliary role. ”

The old man stroked his beard and said proudly.

"General?......level

After listening to the introduction of the old man in Nanyuan, the starry sky was shocked and looked at Dan Yunding carefully.

I saw that the whole body of Danyun Ding was a mixture of black and cyan, which was round, and the three-legged body supported the tripod. There are also many ancient patterns on the top of the ding wall, all-encompassing, and strings of runes flow slowly along the lines.

"It's so magical, I'll play with it when I have time," Starry Sky stroked Danqing Ding Nannan and said.

"Do you think the general-level Dan furnace is a cabbage? And it is also a general-level high-grade, in addition to the use of alchemy, Dan Yunding is also a powerful defensive magic weapon, in the entire Kyushu continent, it is a unique existence. ”

The old man in South Park scoffed, staring at the starry sky as if he was looking at an idiot.

"That's... Master, those who don't know are not guilty! Hehe, Master teach me alchemy."

Starry Sky said embarrassedly, cheekily begging the old man of Nanyuan.

The old man in Nanyuan glanced at the starry sky, walked straight to the south side of the cave, and saw a stone door coming into view, and the stone door was engraved with the three big characters of Dan Pharmacy.

The old man of Nanyuan pushed the door in, and walked out after a while, and at this moment, the old man of Nanyuan had a few more herbs on his hand.

Xingkong hurriedly took the herbs and took a look, most of them had been seen in Nanyuan Village, including Tibetan Blood Flower, Qi Nourishing Fruit, Monkey Ear and a small jar of royal honey.

"Master, what kind of elixir is this going to refine, why are they all common materials?"

Starry Sky looked at the old man of Nanyuan a little puzzled, and asked.

"A product of Qi Replenishing Pill, sit down."

The old man of Nanyuan replied directly, pointed to the futon by the way, and motioned for the starry sky to sit down, and the starry sky immediately did so.

"First of all, put in the qi fruit, and control the temperature in the furnace with mental power, and the temperature can be appropriately high." The old man of South Park designated the starry sky.

Xingkong hurriedly followed the prompts, picked up a Qi Nourishing Fruit, and threw it through the small hole on the top of the Dan Ding, as soon as the Qi Nourishing Fruit entered the inside of the Dan Furnace, it turned into a cloud of ashes after a while.

"How so?".

Xingkong looked at Dan Qingding, his face was confused, and from inside the Dan furnace, there was a faint smell of burning.

"Go on, temperature, control the temperature, in the Danqing Ding, the temperature itself is extremely high, you need to use your mental power to control it properly."

The old man in Nanyuan calmly faced the starry sky and guided patiently.

The second, the third, and the six Qi Nourishing Fruits were thrown into it again and again, without exception, all of them turned into ashes, and the starry sky's face showed beads of sweat slightly, showing a tired look.

After a long period of alchemy, coupled with the fact that it was the first time to manipulate spiritual power, a large amount of consumption seemed to have emptied the body of the starry sky all at once.

"Carefully perceive the process just now, slowly adapt to the temperature, take a short rest, and continue after recovery."

The old man of Nanyuan looked at the starry sky and reminded.

After resting, the starry sky gradually regained its strength. Immediately picked up a Qi Nourishing Fruit, hesitated for a moment, and slowly put it into the Dan furnace.

With the previous experience, Starry Sky has a general understanding of the temperature required to nourish the Qi Fruit. Slowly manipulate the mental power to control the temperature.

This Qi Nourishing Fruit did not turn into ashes as before, but gradually faded from its shell, slowly oozing liquid from the inside.

"Lower the temperature, it's too hot". The old man of Nanyuan stared at the Dan furnace.

Starry Sky did so, and hurriedly mobilized his spiritual power to slowly reduce the temperature in the furnace to achieve the best effect.

Gradually, the fruit is dried and finally turned into powder.

Finally, the first medicinal material was successfully refined, and then Starry Sky You threw Qi Nourishing Fruit into the Dan Furnace a few times, and most of them were successfully refined, and only a few times failed. Starry Sky is full of joy in his heart.

"Next, refine the Tibetan Blood Flower," the old man of Nanyuan nodded with satisfaction.

Xingkong hurriedly picked up a Tibetan Blood Flower and put it in, and then controlled the spiritual power to control the temperature, but unexpectedly, just like before, the Tibetan Blood Flower also turned into ashes.

"Temperature, temperature, the temperature required by different materials is also different, and you need to control it slowly."

The old man of Nanyuan stared at the Dan furnace, reminding the starry sky in his mouth.

Starry Sky picked up a new Tibetan Blood Flower and put it into it, slowly controlling the temperature, this time the Tibetan Blood Flower did not turn into ashes, after a short period of refining, it turned into powder, but it looked slightly burnt.

"No, the temperature is still too high, the Tibetan blood flower refined in this way, the elixir refined, the effect is not good, continue to refine."

After listening to the words of the old man in Nanyuan, Starry Sky continued to refine the Tibetan Blood Flower. After many failures, the Tibetan Blood Flower was successfully refined.

After a long attempt, all the medicinal materials have been refined, and the success rate has been greatly improved.

"Now carry out the second step, melt the pill, and the most critical part, first put in the Tibetan blood flower, and the others in turn, control the temperature, and make it slowly melt."

The old man of Nanyuan looked at the starry sky with satisfaction, and his eyes showed affirmation. After listening to the starry sky, he did it one by one, put in the materials one by one, and concentrated on controlling the fire.

After many attempts, a fragrance permeated from the Danqing Ding.

Starry Sky, which had failed many times during this period, finally refined a complete furnace of Yipin Qi Replenishing Pill, a full three formed pills.

The old man of Nanyuan looked at the pill in his hand and nodded with satisfaction. Starry Sky had a happy face.
