The Divine Consciousness controlled the Liuyun Ding to hang in the air, and the green flames burned quietly under the control of the Divine Consciousness.

Qingyue first heated Liuyunding evenly to prevent the herbs from being scorched and refining failed due to uneven temperature.

Then, according to the description in the jade slip, the two materials and the spiritual spring water were successively thrown into the Danding according to a certain proportion.

At this time, the flames burned a little more violently.

The divine consciousness was divided into two, controlling the flames while paying attention to the process of melting the medicine in the pod.

The key to the level of alchemy is the ability to control fire, and the mastery of the refining method of medicinal herbs.

A clever alchemist must not only be dual-purpose, or even multi-purpose, but also be able to deal with all kinds of emergencies at any time.

After a while, the two herbs melted away, revealing a light green broth.

Next, with the heat of the flame, the water is slowly evaporated, and some insoluble particles in the herbs and the extracted herb essence are dispersed.

The dross sinks to the lower layer, and the uniform molten liquid separates to the upper layer.

This is one of the keys to determine the rate and quality of Chengdan.

If the separation is not thorough enough, it will lead to too many impurities in the pill and even become a waste pill and poison pill. Too many waste materials are distributed to the lower layer, although the quality of the pill can be guaranteed to a certain extent, but it will also lead to the waste of herbs, and the number of pills is too small.

Speaking of which, part of the reason for the large gap between the upper, middle and lower grades of the pill is here.

Qingyue didn't know the balance of this, so she had to deal with it in line with the principle of ensuring the quality of the pill as much as possible.

Stabilize the fire, and water vapor overflows from the canopy like a cloud of smoke. Gradually. The turquoise soup gradually thickens to the point that it is almost gelatinous.

It's time for Ningdan!

The divine consciousness is like a pair of skillful hands, clumping the green gel into thumb-sized balls.

It is recorded in the jade slip that a piece of material, a furnace can produce about sixty Dan. But she had condensed less than thirty pills at this time.

Qingyue inexplicably felt that the process of alchemy was somewhat similar to the process of cooking.

It's just that when alchemy, the divine consciousness replaces the hands.

The ultimate skill is close to the Tao, so there is a long inheritance of esophagus and Dan Dao.

In the silver-white Liuyun Ding, the turquoise medicine mass was suspended in the Danding. The heat of the flame continued to surge. The remaining water of the medicine group is steamed and dried one after another.

How do you judge the timing of harvesting?

It is recorded in the jade slip that the pill is blue and blue, not wrinkled or scattered, and it is appropriate when there is a danxiang overflowing. At this time, the pill is round and full. The color is blue and blue, and there are no dark spots.

It's a very vague description. It is about the need for the alchemist to judge based on experience.

Is there a more straightforward way?

Qingyue thought for a moment. Trying to probe a very subtle wisp of wood spirit power into Danding.

The spiritual power swirled around the medicine group, and she could sense that the wood spiritual power in some pills was mild and even. The wood spiritual power in some pills is tyrannical and depressing, and some pills are noisy and disordered.

The elixir is a comprehensive system that condenses the essence of several kinds of elixirs together to form a harmless system that can have a certain effect.

Then, the nature of the wood spiritual power in these pills should be consistent with the effect of the pills.

She speculated that the effect of Bigudan should be mild and slow.

The divine consciousness consciously distinguishes the elixirs containing different kinds of wood spiritual power.

Then, those wood spirit powers were already docile and peaceful, away from the source of fire. If the wood spiritual power is disordered, under the control of the divine consciousness, it turns in circles at different speeds, and through this way of movement, the disordered wood spiritual power is scattered and evenly adjusted.

Soon after, the harvest pill trick was played. The lid of the Danding was lifted, and dozens of verdant pills fell into the large jade box prepared in advance.

It is recorded in the jade slip that those with uniform color and opaque are inferior products; The color is uniform and transparent, and those without Dan lines are medium grade; The color is uniform and transparent, and those with clear Dan lines are of the highest grade; The color is uniform and transparent, with clear Dan lines, and there are Danhua for the best.

The so-called Danhua refers to the faint light that the best pill will emit when it is in the dark. This glimmer of light is a sign of the appearance of the elixir essence, such a superb elixir has almost no impurities, and the effect is often qualitatively changed, which can be encountered but not sought.

In the end, I received twenty-five pills in the jade box.

Fifteen grains are lower grades, seven grains are medium grades, and three pills have some slight dark spots on them, which is a waste pill.

Neither good nor bad results.

Qingyue did not continue to open the furnace, but quietly recalled the process of alchemy, and recorded any omissions and ambiguities on a jade slip.

Although it can be remembered with the brain alone, thinking and writing are two different ways of remembering.

The process of thinking is freer, you can do whatever you want, cross the barrier of convention and common sense, and pull together seemingly completely unrelated things; The process of writing is a process that is limited by language and logic, and it is also a process that makes your ideas coherent and clear. The two complement each other and complement each other.

Then, continue to refine the second furnace Dan.

The raw materials of Bigudan are cheap and not afraid of waste. She didn't rush to try other pills, but continued to refine this one pill.

In the way of alchemy, beginners should focus on quality rather than quantity or speed.

But in fact, most people who are new to this road often equate the pill with the spirit stone, as long as it can be refined, even if it is a lower grade, they will not worry about the market, so they will stop and immerse themselves in the glory and pleasure brought by success.

As a result, these people often ignore many details at the beginning, limiting the potential and space for future development.

Skill, fine and able to become enlightened. Perfection comes from the excellence of every detail.

The insight of the world is for learning; The ultimate in art is for immortality.

Since the beginning of her cultivation, she has always kept in mind that the path to enlightenment is not about how fast you can go, but how far you can go. The hard part is not to find a way to stay one step ahead, but to restrain the ambition that is about to move, to stop from time to time and look back.

Life is more than one day, from hell to heaven. Nor is it a momentary brilliance or bleakness.

There is no shortage of true geniuses in the world, but the more geniuses there are, the more they must know how to exercise restraint and forbearance.

Talent may not be the luck of the Heavenly Dao, but it may also be the trap and test of the Heavenly Dao.

Those who dare to face difficulties are not necessarily the real brave, but those who can stop in front of the bait and stick to their hearts are the real braves.

The results of the second alchemy were slightly better than the first one, there were no waste pills, and they were basically medium-grade or low-grade pills.

She put away the refined elixir as usual and wrote down the gains and losses on the jade slip. After a slight adjustment, open the next Dan furnace.

The spiritual power in the middle stage of foundation building can support people to refine the pill endlessly for several days. When Qingyue stopped. It's already three days later.

For those who demand perfection, it is also a unique pleasure to make one thing perfect from flaws to perfection as long as there is enough time. They are immersed in this constant pursuit of perfection, the pleasure of transcending the past. Gradually, he was not disturbed by foreign affairs. It's a quiet and independent little world of its own.

Qingyue's last furnace of Bigu Dan. It's already all top-grade elixir.

Bigu Dan is the easiest pill to use among all the pills, and it is an ordinary Qi refining stage disciple. Most of the first furnace can be refined, generally speaking, there are so many times of experience, and the rate of Cheng Dan is considerable.

Like Qingyue, the simplest pill has to be tried a hundred times, and people who plan to continue to try it are really rare.

Not to mention, she is a foundation building stage monk, and she is naturally superior in fire control ability and divine sense control!

However, as everyone knows, the laws are often summarized from the simplest models. Trick is the result of simplifying the base stack.

Just like calligraphy, the fewer strokes there are, the more it can reflect a person's skills. At the beginning, the more inconspicuous it is, the more it can drive the ups and downs of the process.

Some people keep these truths in mind from the beginning, some people can only learn them after going through some hardships, and some people will never understand them.

Not only do they not understand, but they laugh at the "stupidity" of those who are not the same as themselves.

After sending the finished pill at hand to the pharmacy for disposal, and purchasing some raw materials again, Qingyue returned to the room and continued to refine Bigu Dan.

Practice makes perfect, and a hundred refining turns into gold, so, in the next few days, almost every time the furnace is opened, all you get is a high-grade pill, and the pill rate is almost full of pills, but there is not a single top-grade pill.

Qingyue knew that she had encountered a bottleneck.

When she encounters a bottleneck, it means that she has encountered an opportunity to take another big step.

The probability of producing the best pill is extremely low.

Why is that?

She thought of another possibility: the mystery and the mystery, the way.

What kind of existence is the elixir?

The essence of the elixir lies in the word "spirit".

Although spiritual power is divided into five elements, in fact, each kind of spiritual power can be divided into countless subcategories.

Take the wood spirit power as an example, gentle and tyrannical; shallow, thick; Nourishing, predatory...... All sorts of things, and so on.

So, what is the spiritual power of the two spiritual materials used in the Bigu Dan that she wants to refine?

It can also be said that why can these two spirit grasses refine Bigu Dan?

It's like asking why the sky is blue and why the grass is usually green.

In the cultivation realm, this reason is called "Tao". Tao is the law behind these appearances.

Just like Bigu Dan, its effect is to make people not hungry for a day.

If a normal person eats three meals at a time, the body will not be able to stand it.

Bigu Dan must be a process of condensing energy together and then slowly releasing it when the body needs it.

Then these two kinds of wood spiritual power must be one mellow and powerful but intermittent, and the other is shallow and meager but endless. The best results can be achieved when the two are combined.

In each elixir, there is not only one kind of wood spirit power.

Some are so-called "essences" and some are so-called "impurities".

Quenching the essence and removing the essence is actually stripping out this unique spiritual power and blending it together to the greatest extent.

Take what it uses, go to what it abandons, gather together, and make new ones.

Qingyue thought of this and realized something.

These things are not recorded in the jade slips.

So, if this can be proved to be feasible, and then compile a new "pharmacopoeia" based on this, improve the Danfang, and create the Danfang, it shouldn't be so difficult, right?

That's a huge project!

Thinking like this, she immediately began to prepare for the plan of refining the best Bigu Dan.

In the next few days, Qingyue proved her own conjecture.

The general theory of the five elements cannot clarify the secret of the compatibility of the Dan formula, because the spiritual power is far more than the five elements.

But knowing this, it doesn't mean that you can refine high-quality pills.

In the process of alchemy, keen perception and stripping off a certain spiritual power requires extremely keen perception and patience.

Bigu Dan, which only has two materials, is easy to make, but what if it is so complex that it takes dozens or hundreds of pills?

It may not be difficult to do it after training, but with one heart and one mind, the difficulty coefficient increases exponentially.

Rao is so, and the results of his efforts are still obvious.

At least, she finally practiced the best Bigu Dan.

As for those pills with complex ingredients, if you can't refine the best pills, it's good to refine the top-grade pills.

Skill plus proficiency is about equal to twice the result with half the effort. (To be continued......)
