Chapter 70: Making the Tripod and Refining Medicine (I)
After Ji Kai accompanied his family to play at the manor for two days, he went to Irvine City, Los Angeles, San Francisco and other places to see the life of local Chinese, visit the so-called Chinatown, and taste the Chinese cuisine there.
It's a pity that it's not very suitable for the season and the appetite of the parents, but the children like it very much, and they think it's delicious when it's a little sweet. After playing outside for a few days, when he returned to the manor, Ji Kai didn't bother to go to the company to take a look, and went directly to the basement.
Oric placed the mineral materials and those plants that Ji Kai ordered to buy in the basement, anyway, the space was large enough, except for the fact that Oric would arrange for someone to change the food and spare vegetables once in a while, no one would go there. Later, it gradually became a venue for Ji Kai to make some special objects.
After Ji Kai went to the basement, he came to the room where the things were placed, and checked the mineral materials first, but he didn't expect that there were even meteorites, and it was really a shame that those who were looking for mineral materials were able to find these things. Seeing that these materials for refining Danding were all ready, Ji Kai's hanging heart could finally be put down and breathe a sigh of relief.
Take these materials to the room where he used to make jade plaques, because he had told Oric and his parents before coming down, it is estimated that he will stay in it for a day, so that they don't come down, anyway, there is food and drink here.
Ji Kai didn't start refining right away, but calmed down and practiced a little, so that his spiritual power and true qi in his body were in the best condition, and then he opened his eyes and prepared to refine Danding.
First, a suspended heating formation was placed with the remaining jade plaques from the last time, and then some mineral materials were initially purified. After dropping a mineral material into the formation, the minerals are suspended at a height of about 1.5 meters above the ground under the action of the formation, and then the formation is controlled to heat it.
Slowly, the minerals began to melt under the high temperature, and this was the time to test Ji Kai's spiritual power. He released his spiritual power, allowing some of the components in the mineral to slowly separate out to form a puddle of liquid, a process that was easy to say. When it really starts, it is a test of the use of mental power, but on the other hand, it is a good way to exercise and enhance mental power.
In this way, a mineral material, a mineral material is dissolved and separated, and then the separated liquid is put aside, and the rest is directly taken out and put into the sand pile prepared by Ji Kai, and the underground space ventilation system is turned on at the same time, so as not to fill the gas inside with harmful objects.
Finally, more than a dozen raw materials were preliminarily purified, and Ji Kai did not continue refining. After 3 hours of continuous refining work, for his spiritual power, it had already reached the limit state.
I walked out of the room, took a sip of water, and went out of the basement to get someone to eat. After returning to the room and sleeping well, he did not continue the refining work.
Ji Kai first accompanied his parents and daughter and niece to walk in the garden, feed the pony together, and bathe it. After dinner in the evening, Ji Kai informed everyone and then came to the basement.
The dozen or so purified materials suspended in that formation had changed under high-temperature baking, and the volume had become smaller, and the estimated purity had also improved a lot. Some substances that are not easy to separate, or that you don't notice are burned off by high temperatures, and what is left is the essence.
Ji Kai stood in front of the formation, using his spiritual power to control these liquid materials, some fused in pairs, some fused in threes, and some stayed in place. After the liquid materials are completely fused, all the liquid materials are finally fused to form a rotating spherical liquid.
Control these liquids to slowly take shape according to the shape of the Danding sketched in your mind, first appearing with three evenly distributed tripod feet, and then the upper tripod body, so that the middle part becomes empty and expands outward, and then flows upwards.
As for the top cover, after the top body reaches a predetermined height, the excess liquid is closed like a lid for the entire internal space of the top body, and a handle is left for the top cover, of course, the pressure relief hole on the top of the top is also left.
It's just that this pressure relief hole is not the kind we usually see on the top of the pot lid, one hole or two or three holes. Rather, it is smaller, and the holes form two curved and circumferential passages inside the dome, and finally obliquely emerge from the top of the dome in eight directions.
Ji Kai didn't understand the principle either, but he saw that the Qi Practitioner was refining like this when he was taught by the Inhuman. He didn't think about the principle in it, he just did it by drawing a scoop from the gourd.
After the tripod cover is completed, the tripod cover and the tripod body connection are separated, but this gap is very small, and a concave small step must be left inside the top of the tripod body, and the lower part of the tripod cover has a small protruding step, which is convenient for placing the tripod cover in the future.
Once the lid was formed, it was moved aside, leaving only the three-legged tripod-shaped liquid in place.
At this point, it is a critical moment for the entire Danding production. Whether Danding can finally succeed depends on the next steps.
Ji Kai was engrossed in using his mental power to make a feeding port on the outside of the top of the body. The feeding port is connected to the inside of the tripod body, and a small channel is formed in the interior, which is distributed in eight directions in the tripod.
After doing this, he carefully used his spiritual power to carve some very subtle patterns and ornaments along the wall at the exit of the passage connected by the internal feeding port of Danding, and even some patterns and ornaments were a bit like the distribution of stars, forming a spiral.
After finally portraying these, Ji Kai continued to move on to the next step. There's still a lot of ash left. Those wastes from refining pills need a hole that can be discharged to shoot them away, otherwise the purity of the refined pills is not enough, and the effect will be much worse.
In those spiral stripes, some more subtle holes are made, and then they all connect to the inside of the tripod through another channel inside the tripod body.
In the end, it is necessary to store the lowest part of the pill inside the pill, and use spiritual power to engrave some condensation arrays in order to make the pill form. It is also necessary to depict a heating formation and an isolation formation on the outside of Danding.
Finally, after another nearly 4 hours, it was all done. Danding is preliminarily completed, and the next step is to use Ji Kai's spiritual power and true qi in his body to integrate into Danding, so that he can adapt to Ji Kai's spiritual power and true qi, so as to facilitate the alchemy work in the future.
Otherwise, do you think that alchemy is to burn the lower part of the pill with fire, then put in the medicinal herbs, and when the time is up, open the lid and take out the pill?
How is it possible, if you can't observe the changes in the medicinal materials inside the body and the formation of the pill through the spiritual power, how can you judge whether it is successful? If you make a hole in the top wall, how big a hole does you have to open to fully see the inside, and if there is gas or powder inside, can you see it from the outside? Is it clear that the active ingredient in it does not spill out of the observation hole?
