There is an alchemy room in the Dan Hall, and there are three people at this time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoA black-robed young man and a young woman who looked like a girl, in front of the two of them was an old man with a kind face.

Today's Sun Lao is wearing a white robe, which is still very simple but very neat and clean.

"You see. After Sun Lao finished speaking to Meng Yu, he clapped his hands, and the lid of a Danding stove on the table in front of him rose in response.

Then he saw a variety of medicinal herbs and spiritual herbs being put into the Dan furnace, and this process was not carried out quickly, in order to allow Meng Yu to see more clearly. However, although it was slow, the old man's movements were still as smooth as flowing clouds without any sense of sluggishness, and it looked very comfortable.

After worshipping the ancestor that day, Meng Yu followed the teacher to learn alchemy knowledge for two more days, he already had a certain foundation and good qualifications, even if it was only two days, it was enough. Today, the old man finally began to really teach the method of refining, "This first step is melting, and we must master the timing of the fire." Sun Lao explained while demonstrating.

The old man had already taught Meng Yu these things, but it was one thing to really master them well when refining, but it was much more difficult than rote memorization, and the young man listened quietly and watched carefully.

Alchemy is mainly divided into five stages, the first step is melting, melting various medicinal materials in the Dan furnace. It seems very simple to say, but in fact, there is a lot of knowledge in every step, otherwise all monks can become alchemists.

Taking this first step as an example, if the degree of refining is not sufficient, then it will cause a waste of materials, and at the same time, it will also affect the final medicinal properties of the elixir. However, if the melting heat is too much, the loss of essence is also a waste.

The second step is extraction, as the name suggests, is to extract some impurities in the medicinal materials and even the harmful substances contained in some medicinal materials. In the upper part of the furnace, there are usually several small holes, called ear holes, and after the herbs are melted, those impurities will be controlled by the alchemist to remove them from here.

The third step is refining, which is relatively casual, and can be refined at a fast or slow pace according to the refiner's spiritual cultivation, which is somewhat similar to the first step, except that the medicinal materials are extracted from the harmful substances and boiled more thoroughly. However, this step should not be underestimated, as it is often the longest time taken in the entire alchemy process. When refining the elixir, the extraordinary alchemist announced the failure of the refining at this step due to the lack of spiritual power and other reasons.

The fourth step is condensation, which is to condense the essence of various medicinal materials that have been refined. This step is very crucial, the alchemist must master the urging strength of the spiritual power, too weak is not easy to make a good combination, too strong is easy to make the various components of different medicinal properties resistant, this step is usually the best test of the alchemist's attainments in alchemy.

The fifth and final step is Chengdan. In this final stage, the emphasis is on the timing of opening the Dan Furnace, so that the Dan that has been basically formed will be released from the furnace and intersect with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the outside world, and complete the final and complete condensation of the Dan Yao.

This step is also very crucial, if it is baked early, it will affect the medicinal properties, not to mention, and even cause the destruction of the pill, then everything that has been done before will be in vain. This is not surprising, many elixirs that are difficult to refine have accidents when they have reached this last step and see success, which is also the most heartbreaking thing for alchemists.

Of course, if the furnace is opened too late, it will also cause problems such as the loss of medicinal properties of the pill due to excessive refining, which will affect the quality of the pill. All in all, each step is not simple, there are knowledge and methods in it, and many of these know-how require long-term trial and exploration by alchemists, and cannot be passed on orally or even taught by example.

"Do you understand?" As time passed, Sun Lao finally finished refining the elixir. This is a first-grade elixir, that is, an inferior elixir. Of course, it was effortless for Sun Lao, although the grade of the pill was not high, as soon as he opened the furnace, Meng Yu still smelled a strong medicinal fragrance. This is the alchemy, and there are great differences between the same pill being refined by different people.

Hearing the teacher's inquiry, Meng Yu nodded solemnly. "Got it. The old man's movements were very slow, and according to Meng Yu's qualifications, of course, he saw every step clearly.

It's just that this reduces the coherence of the whole process and the speed of refining the pill, so the old man said again: "Okay, then I'll refine it quickly, you can see carefully." ”

After speaking, he saw that the medicinal materials were thrown into the Dan furnace, and as the lid of the furnace fell, the old man quickly urged the spiritual power to release the Dan fire to heat the furnace body.

Almost all monks have the ability to release spiritual power in the form of fire, but not all of them are suitable for alchemy. At the same time, some high-grade pills also have a lot of restrictions on the cultivation of alchemists, and with Meng Yu's current strength, he can only refine the lowest grade of first-grade pills.

Even a mid-grade elixir requires the cultivation of a human spirit realm, and if you want to become an elixir master, you often need a cultivation of the heavenly spirit realm and above to achieve it.

At this time, although Sun Lao couldn't cultivate, his cultivation was still not weak, and he didn't know how many thousands of times such a simple pill had been refined. So this time, it only took more than ten minutes to refine the elixir, and the whole process was very fast. Meng Yu smacked his tongue when he saw it, but he always saw the details of the few turns clearly.

"Let's refine it well. The old man patted Meng Yu on the shoulder, and left the alchemy room, after all, as the hall master of the Dan Hall, he always had a lot of things to deal with. At the same time, his absence allowed Meng Yu to refine by himself without pressure, and it could also test his ability to deal with problems independently, and the old man did not think that Meng Yu could refine successfully quickly.

Although it was the simplest elixir, it was often not so easy to get started in each line, and he had no patience to watch the young man fail again and again until he succeeded. He felt that if the young man could refine the finished elixir within ten days, then he would be able to teach. Of course, it is inevitable that there will be problems with the things that are refined for the first time, and the old man will naturally help point it out when the time comes, and now it is just a matter of letting him better experiment independently.

"Hehe, little junior brother, let's start quickly!" At this time, Ling'er on the side laughed, looking at her as if she was even more excited than Meng Yu. It's no wonder that she couldn't bother the teacher just now, but now she is finally liberated. And it had been a long time since she had seen a novice alchemist, and she seemed to be eager to see the dejected appearance of a young man when he failed in alchemy, because almost all alchemists had to go through this step. And in that case, she, the senior sister, can play a role in guiding from the side.

Meng Yu laughed a few times, in fact, he really didn't dare to underestimate the cute and agile woman in front of him. Because now he already knew that this senior sister of his was considered to be superior even among the high-level elixir masters, and the three-grade pills she had refined were already comparable to some of the most prestigious old-timers.

The young man opened the lid of the furnace and threw the medicinal herbs into the furnace one by one, following the example of the master. He was very careful with every step, and Ling'er on the side giggled, feeling a little helpless about such a girlish senior sister and young man, so he had to shake his head and continue to the next step.

When Meng Yu began to urge the spiritual fire refining, Sun Ling also stopped laughing and began to watch carefully with interest in order to discover the problem of his junior brother.

Seeing that Sun Lao was refining very easily, when he really started, Meng Yu felt that it was not so easy, just the first step of melting took him nearly half an hour, of course, this was also related to the fact that he didn't dare to urge the spiritual power too quickly, he had to savor every step carefully.

However, the novelty made the young man forget about the rest, and he focused all his attention on alchemy. Nearly two hours later, Meng Yu finally reached the most critical fourth step of Ning Dan, but due to his somewhat nervous spirit and the slow refining of the refining process, he was already sweating profusely at this time.

But he still insisted, he couldn't let the little sister see the joke. Meng Yu gritted his teeth and turned his spiritual power into operation, and after the Dan Fire lasted for nearly half an hour, the young man finally opened the lid of the furnace.

Seeing that the first pill he had refined was about to be completed, he was a little excited at this time. But at this time, there was a "pop", and Meng Yu was startled. Looking closely, he found that there was actually a small crack on the elixir, and he knew that he had failed in this last step.

This fourth and fifth stage is the most important to examine the spiritual power of the alchemist, and it seems that there is no room for distractions and mistakes, he is a little frustrated, and muttered: "Is it a failure?"

But he didn't know that Sun Ling, the woman on the side, was already dumbfounded.
