Chapter Seventy-Eight: Alchemy
In the inner hall of the Lingdan Pavilion, Xu Fu had already begun to prepare the materials for alchemy.
It was a spiritual grass, and Xu Fu took out more than thirty kinds of it, many of which he had never seen before.
Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh, just looking at these more than thirty kinds of spirit grass, he could imagine how cumbersome the process of alchemy was, compared to alchemy, refining jade spirit liquid was really a big deal.
"The most important thing in alchemy is soul power, and the second thing is to control the flames. "Xu Fu has been sorting out the spirit grass for a hundred years, while popularizing the common sense of alchemy for Ye Chen.
"You have unique conditions for alchemy, because your soul power is one level higher than your cultivation. ”
"And your true fire is innate with spiritual intelligence, and it is connected with your mind, and you can control the flame extremely subtly, which is very important for alchemy. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Fu glanced at Ye Chen meaningfully, "So, you are very suitable to be an alchemist." ”
"Alchemist, me?" Ye Chen was stunned.
"Your conditions are unique, if you don't become an alchemist, I'm really sorry for God's favor for you. Xu Fu said, taking out more than a dozen spirit grasses again, "With your qualifications, it may really be possible to surpass that old guy in Danchen." ”
"Danchen?" Ye Chen was surprised.
How could he, who specializes in intelligence work, not know the name of Danchen, that is the most famous alchemist in Dachu, who does not belong to any of the forces, but it is also an existence that no force dares to provoke.
How could he not have imagined that Xu Fu would say that he might surpass Danchen, which he couldn't even imagine.
"How about the little one, are you interested in being an alchemist? Xu Fu looked at Ye Chen with interest.
"Yes, of course. Ye Chen didn't even think about it and blurted out directly.
The profession of an alchemist is too noble, this vast Dachu, there are very few, and they are all regarded as ancestors by all parties, if you become an alchemist, the future will definitely be bright.
Getting the answer he wanted, Xu Fu came to the alchemy furnace.
"I'll teach you how to refine the first elixir, look at it, I'll only demonstrate it once. Xu Fu said, already hooking the ground fire under the Dan furnace.
Rumble!
Suddenly, there was a purple flame burning in the alchemy furnace, and even the patterns of the four divine beasts on the alchemy furnace also shone up.
Then, Xu Fu waved his robe and put three or five spirit grasses into the alchemy furnace in no particular order, and then skillfully controlled the earth fire to refine the essence inside, and more than one spirit grass was put into it during the process.
On the side, Ye Chen stood there quietly, and Xu Fu's every movement was imprinted in his heart.
It's a long process.
I don't know when, the inner hall of the Lingdan Pavilion floated with a strong smell of medicinal fragrance.
"Out of Dan. As Xu Fu spit out a word, he slapped the alchemy furnace, and a purple elixir flew out and was grabbed by him with a wave of his arm.
Seeing this, Ye Chen hurriedly stepped forward and looked at the pill in Xu Fu's hand with shining eyes.
"Take a look!" Xu Fu handed the elixir in his hand to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen stretched out his hand to take it, the elixir had just been refined, and there was a feeling of warmth, it was crystal clear, or purple gas lingered on it, and there was a strong medicinal fragrance in front of him, and when he smelled it, he felt relaxed and happy.
In addition to these, on top of this elixir, there is also a pattern that seems to be looming.
"This is Hui Xuandan, when true qi and spiritual power are lacking, it can quickly replenish the consumption in the body. Xu Fu had already found a comfortable place to sit down, "This kind of elixir is one of the lowest level elixir, you should see the line above, that is the sign of the elixir level." ”
"The elixir is also divided into grades?" Ye Chen looked at Xu Fu.
"Of course. Xu Fu said, "There is a line on the elixir in your hand, which means that it is a one-grain elixir, if there are two lines on it, it is a two-pattern elixir, and so on, the more lines, the higher the level of the elixir." ”
"Elder, then the highest elixir you have refined is a few lines. Ye Chen asked curiously.
"The elixir I refined alone, the highest is the four-pattern elixir. Xu Fu didn't hide it, stroked his beard and said, "I worked with that old guy from Danchen once, and I once refined a five-pattern spirit pill. ”
"That day, the Silent Pill was a few elixirs. Xu Ye Chen wanted to know too much, so he didn't think too much about it, and asked directly.
Hearing this, Xu Fu frowned, and looked at Ye Chen with deep meaning, "You still know about the Heavenly Silence Pill?"
Ye Chen coughed dryly and touched the tip of his nose, "Some time ago, I went to the Netherworld Black Market with Xiong Er, and I also heard from others. ”
Xu Fu retracted his gaze slightly, and he still answered Ye Chen's question, "The Heavenly Silence Pill is the highest-level elixir I know, and if it is divided by level, it is the six-pattern elixir. ”
"Is it difficult to refine the Heavenly Silence Pill?" Ye Chen looked at Xu Fu suspiciously, "Danchen's predecessor is so powerful, he can't refine it?"
"What about playing?" Xu Fu glanced at Ye Chen angrily, "Each spirit pill has a corresponding pill, there is no pill recipe for the Heavenly Silence Pill, even the old Danchen doesn't know how to refine it, even if there is a pill recipe, I estimate that I can't find enough spirit grass needed to refine the Heavenly Silence Pill." ”
"That old man doesn't know who and which force took away the empty ....... ”
"What kind of do you have. Xu Fu kicked Ye Chen back in front of the alchemy furnace, "That's what you should be concerned about, right?"
Saying that, Xu Fu threw an ancient scroll to Ye Chen at random, and scolded angrily, "This is the Dan recipe for returning to Xuandan, take a good look at it, and if you have a good understanding, give Lao Tzu a good alchemy, don't be lazy for Lao Tzu." ”
Belch!
Ye Chen touched the tip of his nose, and he had already gently opened the Xuandan's pill prescription.
I don't know if I don't see it, I'm shocked to see it!
After a cursory look, he found that this alchemy was much more cumbersome than the refining of the jade spirit liquid, and the requirements for the control of flames were extremely high, and even a small mistake could lead to the failure of alchemy.
"This is just a pattern of elixir!" Ye Chen smacked his tongue.
However, in order to become an alchemist, this difficulty still did not bother him, while he was consulting the Danfang, he also recalled the previous Xu Fu alchemy in his mind, and this combination allowed him to capture a trace of fur.
Not far away, Xu Fu, who was lying leisurely on the chair, was still in a state of pretending to sleep, and sometimes he would squint his eyes slightly to look at Ye Chen.
Knowing that night was falling, Ye Chen really let go of Danfang.
He also fell into a false sleep like Xu Fu, and the picture of Xu Fu refining back to Xuandan was played back in his mind without limit.
I don't know when, he slowly opened his eyes, and then took a deep breath, and then he moved his mind to beat the true fire into the alchemy furnace, and then, several spirit grasses were thrown into the alchemy furnace by him one after another.
Because of his previous experience in refining jade spirit liquid, he was quite proficient in controlling the flames.
Soon, the essence of the herbs that were thrown into it was refined by him, and then more herbs were put into it.
It's just that he still underestimated the cumbersome alchemy, the first time he made alchemy, he was inevitably busy, and his control of the flames was inaccurate.
The first alchemy failed.
Ye Chen stopped, secretly found out what was wrong, and then beat the true fire into the alchemy furnace, and the second alchemy began.
Next, he was constantly frustrated.
Frustrated again and again, the ground has been burned and the ground is full of debris.
Xu Fu prepared hundreds of copies of the spirit grass of the Xuandan for him, in order to let Ye Chen sum up his experience in failure, so as to find the true meaning of alchemy.
Approaching dawn, Ye Chen still failed to refine the Hui Xuandan, but his face was very pale, alchemy consumed soul power, and the alchemy overnight made his soul power overwhelmed, and his mind was constantly buzzing.
Eventually, he staggered to his knees, panting violently.
"If you rush too much, you'll be self-defeating. Xu Fu, who was sleeping pretendingly, heard a voice.
"It's me who underestimated alchemy. Ye Chen shook his head helplessly.
"Alchemy, like cultivation, requires an empty state of mind. Xu Fu glanced at Ye Chen and scolded harshly, "Your heart is not quiet at all, and your heart has distracting thoughts, which is a taboo for alchemists." ”
"I... I understand. For Xu Fu's teachings, Ye Chen listened attentively.
He really couldn't calm down, because there were too many things before, which made him too eager to become a strong man, he was used to the blood boiling during the big war, but he couldn't adapt to the peace of mind during alchemy.
"Eat it and continue refining. Xu Fu called a pill from the air, "If you can't even refine the Xuandan, then I really want to question your ability to be an alchemist." ”
Ye Chen had already beckoned to take the pill, and then stuffed it into his mouth.
