Before preparing to start alchemy, Nuomi first placed the core of the purple wood spirit fruit brought back from the mountain range and the purple plant. The plant itself did not do the ascetic any good. Unlike some immortal grasses, the purple wood spirit fruit exudes a strong aura all over its body, and the whole plant can be used for medicine and alchemy. Only the huge fruit of the Purple Wood Spirit Fruit contains a strong spiritual aura, which is helpful to cultivators. The rest of the fruit, after it has been harvested, gradually fades in color, and turns back into an earthy gray plant that is not getting better, as if it has withered.

In fact, it is just because the aura is lost in large quantities with the picking of the fruit, so it enters a state of "suspended animation". As long as it is allowed to take root and sprout again, absorb the aura between heaven and earth, and bear small fruits again, it will gradually regain its original purple-red color. This is a kind of self-protection of the Purple Wood Spirit Fruit. It is not only to reduce the loss of spiritual energy inside the plant, but also to avoid the eyes of demon beasts and monks.

Once the fruit is picked, it is completely disguised in order to prevent the pickers from destroying it along with the plant.

The fruit of the Purple Wood Spirit Fruit is not so much the fruit that grows on the plant, but rather the appearance of the spiritual energy condensed by the plant. In addition to containing a large amount of spiritual energy, this purple wood spirit fruit is said to be the purest kind of spirit fruit in heaven and earth, with no worldly pollution at all, and the taste is very delicious. Although the level is not very high, it is really rare because of the harsh requirements for the living environment.

In order to get the kernel of the purple wood spirit fruit, glutinous rice got less flesh. She tasted it herself. Discovering that the flesh of the Purple Wood Spirit Fruit was really unimaginably sweet and delicious, a taste she had never tasted before. When she compares the spirit fruits she had eaten before, they were really different.

Those spirit fruits seem to have an earthy taste in them after all, the sweet and cold taste of this purple wood spirit fruit. It seems to be more like the blade of grass growing on the small black ball in her body.

She was reluctant to eat it all herself, so she left a small piece and went back to give it to Senior Brother Zhuzi to taste. If it weren't for the fact that this fruit had already been cut and couldn't be left for a long time, she even wanted to keep some for Senior Brother Ye Fan. Although the senior brother may not be willing to deal with her, she can quietly stuff it to the senior brother and not let anyone find out.

It's a pity that this fruit didn't give her such a chance at all. Moreover, she felt that this had been cut off, and the senior brother would definitely look down on it.

After they picked the Purple Wood Spirit Fruit from the other side of the mountain range, the Purple Wood Spirit Fruit plant dried up as described on the jade slip. At a speed that can be seen with the naked eye. It quickly shrank from a beautiful purple-red plant to a small clump of curled up withered yellow grass. If you hadn't seen it change with your own eyes. It's just such a small clump of hay, who can recognize that this is actually a fairy grass.

Glutinous rice had seen a description of the purple wood spirit fruit on the jade slip, and saw it wither. Just stared wide-eyed, with an expression of amazement on his face. When the others saw that she insisted on picking up such a small ball of withered grass, they all thought that she was just curious, and no one asked.

The kernel has now been planted on the small black ball by glutinous rice. Sure enough, just as she had guessed, the little black ball only reacted to the seeds. When she held the core of the purple wood spirit fruit in her hand and meditated, the little black ball stretched out a small black tentacle for the first time in a long time, dragging the core into her body.

As for the hay that had dried up into a small clump, she had carefully planted it on the edge of the medicine field. At present, there is no fruit growing on the top of the Purple Wood Spirit Fruit plant. Therefore, the requirements for the environment are not so strict. As long as it is planted in a place full of spiritual energy, it is enough to make it slowly recover. It's just a matter of seeing if we can re-turn the results.

Because it is not needed for the time being, Nuomi has not put the pair of spirit insects outside. It's just that he exchanged his contribution points for a lowest-level spirit beast bag, and put the two spirit insects into the spirit beast bag along with the spirit water. What she changed to was the lowest-level spirit beast bag, and there was only a small space in it, which could be used by the two small spirit insects to live in the spirit beast bag. Such a spirit beast bag does not need to be exchanged for it in the Shanmen Bazaar, even if it is on Qingquan Peak, it can also be exchanged for contribution points.

Nuomi hadn't had time to learn more about the domestication method of spirit worms, because she was about to start preparing for the furnace alchemy.

She had already seen a lot of alchemy methods on the jade slip before, but now that it was her turn to start the furnace, she prepared it the same, and she felt that this was really not a simple matter. It's like the treatment of this fairy grass, and the jade slip has been clearly written. But if it was her turn to do it herself, she found that it was not as simple as what was written on the jade slip.

"The right temperature" -- what kind of temperature is this?

"Bake with a spiritual fire until the leaves curl up and turn yellow" - how is it considered yellowing, do you want the whole leaf to turn yellow or curl a little burr to stop?

She drew out a lot of questions on the handling of the fairy grass, and wrote out a lot of questions on the fire control and the collection of pills after the furnace was opened. Some of these problems can be solved by observing the alchemy of other outer disciples and the processing of immortal herbs and elixirs, while some of the problems that she should pay attention to after opening the furnace can only wait for her to test them herself. Others just talk about where to pay attention to firepower no matter how much they say, but they haven't tried it themselves, and they still can't understand it.

The immortal medicine she has in her hand now is probably enough for her to open a five-furnace. Once it can be refined, even if it is refined, the value of those immortal medicines will all come back. If you can refine the immortal grass into an elixir, the value can be directly increased by five times. This is only the multiplier of the lowest level elixir. If it is some precious pills, some of which are even hundreds or thousands of times more valuable, there is no way to get them back.

It took several days for Nuomi Huā to record all the problems she could think of and solve them one by one. As long as she could find an answer, she dealt with it first, and timidly went to Xu Zening for advice. Of course, when you ask for advice, don't forget to send a little spirit stone.

Xu Zening knew that Nuomi had gone down the mountain to practice before, but now when he saw Nuomi asking him a question, he was a little surprised, "Senior brother, is he planning to deal with the fairy grass by himself and open the furnace for alchemy?" That's a rare occurrence. Generally, there is no one like you who has just started the furnace for alchemy. If you want to open the furnace now, maybe you will waste all the materials, so it is better to sell the fairy grass first. ”

"I want to try." Glutinous rice lowered her head slightly, but there was no hesitation in her voice.

"Oh, you're happy." For the sake of the spirit stone, Xu Zening didn't ask much, "Do you want to find a familiar one to help you deal with the fairy grass first?" ”

"I ...... I'll try it first. Nuomi shook her head, and then took out all the questions she had.

What she couldn't understand was something that required experience. The jade slip is a little vague on it, Xu Zening is naturally rich in experience, and a few words often solve her problem.

After he really couldn't find the problem, Nuomi felt that his preparation was almost done.

Generally, a disciple like her who has just joined the Mountain Sect will indeed rarely open the furnace for alchemy so early. Not to mention that they almost had no chance to go down the mountain early to practice like her, and accumulate a bunch of elixirs, even if they barely managed to get together enough to open the furnace, they would also worry about whether their true yuan power was enough to refine successfully, or if their methods were so rusty, would they waste medicinal materials instead.

After all, if you want to succeed in alchemy for the first time, it can be said that it is completely impossible.

The vast majority of Qingquan Peak's outer disciples will collect immortal grass for a long period of time, exchange them for spirit stones, and then exchange those spirit stones for various resources to practice, while using those resources to strengthen their own cultivation, while slowly learning the knowledge of alchemy, after a few years of preparation like this, they will consider whether to open a furnace for alchemy.

There are monks who feel that they can't do it, because they have never opened the furnace in their lives.

The question raised by Nuomi surprised Xu Zening. Xu Zening used to open a furnace, and he would also help deal with some of the immortal medicines in the hall on weekdays, and the glutinous rice asked questions were all places that he didn't usually notice when looking at the jade slips. When he first dealt with the elixir, he once picked up a question asked by glutinous rice.

Xu Zening couldn't understand how Nuomi, a little boy who had been brought up from a miscellaneous disciple, could notice such a subtle place. To say that he is an experienced outer disciple, glutinous rice is what he has been watching, and he has never seen glutinous rice have any experience in handling immortal medicine. It's just that while they are dealing with the elixir and opening the furnace, the glutinous rice will stand aside and watch.

Just looking at Yu Jian by himself, just watching their operations from the side, he was already almost able to master the technique of alchemy.

When Xu Zening thought about it, he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

He thinks that his qualifications are not bad, and he often feels that he is a first-class figure among the outer disciples of Qingquan Peak, and he even wants to say in private that he is not worse than some inner disciples. He was only fifteen years old when he first opened the furnace for alchemy, which was indeed earlier than many inner disciples. At that time, because he was helping to deal with the immortal medicine, his skills were not bad at all.

By the time he had really succeeded in refining the first pot of elixir, he was still two months away from his seventeenth birthday.

He had always thought that his record was something to be proud of, and there were indeed few disciples on Qingquan Peak who had successfully refined the elixir at such a young age. If the immortal medicine in his hand was enough, this time could have been even shorter. Although he is still not an alchemist, he is already a person who has touched the gate of the alchemist's avenue with one hand.

But now looking at the glutinous rice, he realized that his previous thoughts were really ridiculous.

Six? Or seven? In front of him was either an arrogant madman or a genius he had never seen before.
