Ye Zi instinctively pinched a protective shield for himself, so as to prevent the hot liquid from being splashed on his body.

Needless to say, the first refining failed.

In fact, when you think about it, you can see that the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction caused the Ice Arrow Grass to explode the moment it was put into the medicinal liquid!

Is there any way to prevent the Ice Arrow from exploding? Between extreme cold and extreme heat, in order for them to merge smoothly, unless one completely overwhelms the other.

If, when she threw in the Ice Arrow Grass, she wrapped the Ice Arrow Grass with her spiritual power to prevent it from exploding at the moment when she put in the liquid, and waited until the high temperature quickly melted the entire Ice Arrow Grass before withdrawing the spiritual power, the two should be able to merge, right?

Do what you think.

Ye immediately cleaned and dried the Dan furnace, and selected a piece of cold spirit pill medicinal materials and ice arrow grass to come out, ready to continue alchemy.

Xiao Er, who was following Ye Zi outside the inn, waited for a quarter of an hour, saw that she didn't come out again, and quietly inquired, and learned that she had lived in the inn, so he slipped away to report the letter.

At this time, the chief manager of An Kee Pharmacy stood anxiously in his tent, walking back and forth. In the place where he was originally sitting, there was a half-aged monk in his fifties.

The other party was dressed in a blue brocade robe, his slightly white hair was tied up with a black jade ring, his eyes were sharp, his spirit was vibrant, and the whole person looked very serious.

The young man who reported the news walked in the door, and the chief steward, who heard the movement, hurriedly turned around.

"How?"

The young man wiped his sweat breathlessly and said, "She, she entered the inn." ”

"Which inn?"

"Come, come to the Joy Inn."

When the chief manager heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the expression on his face relaxed, and he turned his head and smiled flatteringly at the half-old monk: "Chief Administrator, you see ......?"

"Yes."

The other party snorted from his nose and said slowly, "It's okay." You must know that no one dares to be cautious about what the city lord ordered, otherwise, don't shout wronged when this head moves! ”

The chief manager nodded again and again with a smile on his face. "Yes, yes, Chief Manager An has taught you a lesson, and under your strict discipline, the entire City Lord's Mansion is in order. Orders are forbidden, and the small ones must learn more from your elders. ”

This half-old monk is the old butler of the City Lord's Mansion of Yongning City-An Rong.

Just as Leaf was haggling with his buddies for the Leaf Ice Arrow Grass Leaf, he happened to come over to inspect the pharmacy. When he learned that the fat manager was actually selling the cold herb, the single-leaved ice arrow, he became angry, and finally sent a clever young man to follow the leaves. See if it is related to the Fan family.

Now that he saw that Ye Zi had lived in the inn, it seemed that he had nothing to do with the Fan family, and the matter passed. After An Rong left, the fat manager wiped his sweat with palpitations, and called the guy who sold the leaf ice arrow grass to reprimand him fiercely.

Over there, Fan Dandan and Fan Sheng, who went out to buy cold crystals, naturally returned to the small courtyard empty-handed and depressed.

Seeing the two of them coming back, Bai Shi hurriedly stepped forward and asked anxiously, "How is it?" Did you buy it? ”

Both shook their heads in frustration.

Fan Sheng said with a sad face: "Dandan and I went to the major pharmacies and chambers of commerce in the city respectively, and none of them sold cold crystals. They all said that the whole city of Yongning. Only An Kee has cold crystals and cold elixirs for sale. ”

"Moreover, when they learned that we were the Fan family, they pushed us out even more." Fan Dandan added angrily and angrily.

Bai's expression froze suddenly, tears fell, and he whimpered: "Then, what should I do?" Could it be that he ...... Woo......"

Fan Dandan also burst into tears.

After a long time, she suddenly remembered something, raised her head and looked around, and asked, "Where is Ye'er?" ”

Bai Shi shook his head, "Miss Ye never came back. After saying that, she seemed to remember something. The crying stopped abruptly, and he raised his head in a daze to look at Fan Dandan and Fan Sheng.

The three of them looked at each other for a long time, and then Fan Dandan said, "Perhaps...... Ye'er will have a way, mother. Don't cry just yet. ”

Bai Shi nodded hurriedly, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked hopefully, "Dan'er, are you telling the truth?" Miss Ye, does she really have a way? ”

Fan Dan looked at the two of them with a heavy face, "I can't guarantee it either." If Ye'er can really save Yi'er, it will be Yi'er's blessing. If not, then ......"

Dandan was right. Now, it depends on whether God is willing to give Yi'er a way to live, let it be fate......" Fan Sheng sighed with tears of sadness.

In the inn, the leaves hiding in the space for alchemy had successfully overcome the phenomenon of the Ice Arrow Grass exploding when it was hot, but it still failed to refine the Cold Spirit Pill.

Think about it too. She is just a first-grade alchemist, and if she wants to cross the ranks to refine the elixir that can only be refined by a third- or fourth-grade alchemist, it is naturally extremely difficult.

Failure is inevitable, and success can only be regarded as accidental.

Ye Zi didn't think about going back to Yun Zhenren for help, but considering that she didn't have a cold crystal, if she wanted to use the Ice Arrow Grass instead of the cold crystal to test the refining of the Cold Spirit Pill, except for the time to rush back and forth, there would only be half a day left.

Half a day's time is only enough to refine a furnace of cold spirit pills, and other herbs must be used to replace cold crystals, Yun Zhenren is not a god, no matter how much time is calculated, it is not enough.

And she is different, she has a jade pendant space, and she has a full twenty times the time to slowly study and experiment.

He has already failed three times, and there are still seven chances, and the remaining Ice Arrow Grass is still enough to refine the Seven Furnaces Cold Spirit Pill.

But the leaf's confidence is very strong. By the third time, she had already been able to successfully fuse thirty kinds of medicinal herbs, and as long as she could achieve the perfect fusion of thirty-five kinds of medicinal liquids, the next thing would be much simpler.

After refining three furnaces of Dan in a row, the aura in her dantian had long been exhausted. If it weren't for the support of the Qi Nourishing Pill, she was afraid that the time of the two furnaces of alchemy would not last.

After meditating and pranayama on the spot for an hour, the spiritual energy in Ye Zi's dantian was less than one-third, but his spirit recovered a lot.

"Hum ......"

A slight voice came, and she opened her eyes to see Xiaobai lying on her side, glaring at her with a sad face.

"Xiaobai, come here!"

Xiao Bai slowly got up, paced to the edge of the leaf, stretched out his tongue and licked his mouth hungryly, his eyes slightly squinted, as if he was about to take a nap.

Ye Zi couldn't help laughing, "Okay, I know you're hungry." ”

Reaching out and rubbing the other party's hairy head lovingly, she took out a roast leg of lamb from the Qiankun bag and took it in one gulp unceremoniously. Walk over to the side and feast.

Ye Zi immediately closed his eyes and looked inward, and saw that the aura in the dantian was still much worse, so he took out two Qi Nourishing Pills and swallowed them in one gulp.

As soon as Dan entered his throat, he immediately turned into a surging aura and surged towards his limbs. Then it quickly flowed into the dantian. After a while, her dantian was extremely full.

The furnace was quickly cleaned and dried, and the leaves began to be refined for the fourth time.

That's it...... It was already three hours outside, and she spent nearly sixty hours in the space, a full five days. She refined it nine times, but failed in all of them.

She stared at the swarthy Dan furnace in front of her frantically, full of puzzlement, "Could it be that there is really an insurmountable obstacle between the first-rank Dan master and the third-grade Dan master?" ”

If anyone hears Yezi's words, they will unceremoniously laugh at her whimsy.

The level of this alchemist is divided into master, grandmaster, and Dan king, and each level is subdivided into one to nine grades, which must make sense.

A first-grade alchemist can skillfully refine the elixir of less than ten kinds of medicinal materials. This is divided according to the cultivation realm, the techniques, techniques and experience of alchemy.

Of course, it is not excluded that there are a few people who are quite talented on the way to alchemy, and they can directly jump over the first rank and enter the ranks of the second rank Dan masters, but among such people, Ye Zi is definitely not included.

The second-grade alchemist is a pill that can skillfully refine less than twenty kinds of medicinal materials.

By analogy, if you want to refine the Cold Spirit Pill, you need a third- or fourth-grade alchemist who is very familiar with the technique, and the leaves are up to now. It's just a Qi Nourishing Pill that requires eleven medicinal materials to be successfully refined.

What to do? There's only one last chance......

At this time, she couldn't think about how to save Fan Dandan's younger brother if the alchemy failed. She was already immersed in her own battle with the refining of the Cold Spirit Pill.

If you don't start, you'll have it, once you start. She didn't want to admit defeat, and she was not willing to admit defeat.

She thought about the process of her alchemy carefully, every time she failed, it was between the last five medicinal materials, how to prevent this?

There is only one chance, and there is no way to slowly find the reason from the beginning. However, if she can fuse the last five medicinal herbs into a medicinal liquid in advance. Then start refining the Cold Spirit Pill, I don't know if it's okay?

The last five medicinal herbs were actually very ordinary herbs, and there were so many of them in her space, so there was no pressure at all to melt them, and it was easy to melt them successfully.

Ye Zi took out a jade bottle, carefully filled these dark purple medicinal liquids, and after cleaning the Dan furnace, he carried out the last Cold Spirit Pill refining.

At the last chance, she was much more cautious in her every move.

The liquid medicine is melted, and after boiling, new medicinal materials are put in, and then smelted, and then the medicine is continued.

It was not until the first thirty kinds of medicinal liquids were boiling perfectly, that she unhurriedly picked up the jade bottle on the side, took a deep breath, and uncorked the bottle and was about to pour the medicinal liquid in the jade bottle into the Dan furnace, her mind flashed inexplicably, and the movements in her hands followed.

She suddenly thought of the method used to solve the explosion of the Ice Arrow Grass, and her heart moved, and she poured the medicinal liquid in the jade bottle into the palm of her hand, and then separated a trace of spiritual power, wrapped a ball of medicinal liquid the size of her thumb, and gently sent it into the Dan furnace.

"Poof~"

The medicinal liquid wrapped in spiritual power made a slight sound after being immersed in the boiling medicine surface of the Dan furnace.

After counting three breaths silently, the leaves slowly and slowly withdrew their aura, and the medicinal liquid in the Dan furnace was still boiling slightly, and hot bubbles bubbled up from time to time, and there were no other abnormal reactions.

One, two, three......

Until ten breaths later, it is still the same. Ye's heart was beating wildly, and excitement, excitement, and joy filled his brain in an instant.

However, if it is not a real Ning Dan, it is not considered a success. She quickly suppressed the restlessness in her heart and observed the Dan furnace intently and carefully.

After seeing that the medicinal liquid was getting thicker and thicker, Ye Zi hurriedly picked up the lid of the furnace and closed it tightly, and each hand separated a stream of spiritual power to wrap the entire Dan furnace, and then adjusted the flame to the size of a bean, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

The rest of the time, it's basically just waiting.

Ning Dan is a process that seems simple, but it is actually very energy-consuming.

It is necessary to ensure that the temperature of the flame is just right, not too small, and not to bake the thick and sticky liquid medicine. It is also necessary to ensure that the aura in one's body evenly wraps the Dan furnace so that the medicinal properties remain intact, so that the high-quality Dan can be condensed.

Finally, there is luck.

Often at the step of Ning Dan, there are not a few examples of unexpected failures. Ye Zi asked Yun Zhenren for advice, and the other party only said that it was chance and luck.

Alchemy, like cultivation, is a breakthrough from quantitative change to qualitative change.

Medicinal herbs are like the mortal body of a human being, slowly refined, eliminated impurities, and finally break through and achieve the true self. A variety of different medicinal materials are forged and smelted through real fire, and finally turned into essence, and then condensed into an elixir with great effect, Dancheng!

If a person wants to ascend to the Tao, he needs luck and chance, and the same is true for alchemy.

At this time, Ye Zi could only silently pray for the success of Ning Dan.

Maybe God didn't want Fan Yidan to die at a young age, and half an hour later, Ning Dan succeeded!

Ye Zi couldn't wait to open the lid of the furnace, and when he saw the five round, purple-glowing ink-colored pills in the Dan furnace, he grinned stupidly...... (To be continued.) )
