Chapter 19: The First Alchemy
In a cave in the back mountain, the thorn bushes that were originally blocking the entrance of the cave have been uprooted, and the light shines directly into the cave without any obstacles, making it bright inside.
A very sturdy brown-haired boy was looking down at an old notebook, sometimes frowning when he encountered something he couldn't understand, and if he understood something, he would smile with his eyebrows.
Since returning from the Mitre auction house, because he was worried that he would be disturbed by someone in his courtyard to refine his medicine, Gaten simply said hello to Garebi and moved directly to the back mountain to live as a retreat to refine medicine.
After spending a day studying the notebook that Gu Ni sent him repeatedly, and writing down all the points to pay attention to in refining medicine, such as refining the tricks of controlling fire into pills, Gaten began to try refining medicine for the first time.
However, the result is obvious, with the level that Gartenna can't even practice half a bucket of water, how can he not fail in refining medicine for the first time, as soon as the flame in the medicine pod touches the medicinal materials, they directly burn the medicinal materials into ashes.
After reading Gu Ni's book of alchemy, Gaten naturally knew that the temperature of the flame was too high, so he hurriedly tried to use his soul perception to lower the temperature of the flame, and after trying more than a dozen times, he finally found the trick and would not burn the medicinal herbs to ashes.
Watching the medicinal herbs scorch under the flames, the medicinal power was slowly forced out, turning into a puddle of cloudy liquid, and Gatten could barely complete the first quenching of the medicine.
Later, Gaten encountered Waterloo in several other medicinal materials, and the temperature adapted to different medicinal materials was different, and after wasting a bunch of medicinal materials, Gaten finally refined all the medicinal essence needed for the Danfang, but now Gaten is stuck on the last level, that is, all the essence is fused in the flame to form the elixir he wants.
After failing a few times, Garten knew that something must have gone wrong somewhere, so he had to give up for the time being, and instead picked up the alchemy book and continued to study, wanting to find out what he had overlooked.
The pill that Gu Ni gave to Gaten is actually not even a prescription, it is just an ordinary hemostatic drug, not even Cheng Dan, and the final product is just a lump of viscous liquid like honey, but it is very suitable for novice alchemists to get started.
Moreover, once the elixir of hemostatic medicine is practiced, there is no need to worry about sales, and those mercenaries who often live on the verge of life and death will frantically purchase all of them, so that Gaten can earn back the cost.
Xiao Yan in the original book used this type of hemostatic medicine to practice his hands, and while making a lot of money, he squeezed the Galie family to a bankrupt place, you can imagine how crazy those mercenaries are about these life-saving things.
"I am, I was wrong, I was wrong!
In the cave, Gaten, who had been studying the experience of refining medicine with his head down, suddenly forgot his shape and laughed out loud, pushed the notebook far away, touched the simple-looking black ring on his left hand with his right hand, and a half-meter-high medicine pod with a fiery red body appeared in front of Gaten out of thin air.
Gateng, who has studied Danny's alchemy experience, now has a little understanding of the medicine tripod, among the many medicine tripods, it will also be divided into grades, the more fire ports, the higher the grade of the medicine tripod, from low to high can be divided into nine orders, this medicine tripod given by Yafei is a two-order medicine tripod, that is, it is a second-order medicine tripod, even if the second-grade alchemist uses it to refine medicine, it is not low-level, but it is worth a lot.
The medicinal materials needed for refining medicine appeared on a square stone table next to the medicine tripod.
After Gaten returned from the Mitre auction house, Garebi brought it out of the treasure house of the clan to Gaten for the convenience of refining medicine, such a small Na ring, which was worth at least seventy or eighty thousand gold coins outside, which was quite terrifying, and there were only three in the entire Galie family, except for the patriarch and the great elder, others were not qualified to have it.
Coupled with the medicinal materials purchased before, it is said that for the sake of Gateng, the family has really produced a lot of blood this time.
Gatten put his hand on the fire port of the medicine tripod, and the pale red fighting qi gushed from the acupoint on his hand into the medicine tripod, and after the transformation of the medicine tripod, it turned into a pale red flame.
After the previous training, for the process of quenching the medicine, Gatten has been quite proficient, open the lid weighing dozens of catties and put it on the ground, a crane grass directly thrown into the medicine tripod, and do not need to cover the lid, use the flame to force out the medicinal power of the crane grass, turn into a puddle of green liquid, and then use the jade bottle to fill it all, directly on the other side, and then continue to refine the second medicinal material.
Because the growth environment and time of each medicinal herb are different, resulting in different resistance to flames, which is a problem that all alchemists have to face, so even if they are very proficient in a certain elixir, there is already a possibility of failure when refining medicine.
Seeing that the white grass root in the medicine tripod was burned to ashes by his own mistake, Gateng didn't blink his eyelids, and took out another one and threw it into the flames, but he was more careful when he used his soul power to suppress the flames.
After the last medicinal herb was successfully refined, Gateng immediately picked up the jade bottle containing the essence of the Immortal Crane Grass, poured all of them into the medicine pod, and controlled the flame to fuse the two liquids.
The powerful soul power all poured out, covering every corner of the ding, once the temperature of the flame in a certain area is high or low, it will immediately suppress or relax the flame in that area, watching the two different colors of liquid gradually fuse together under the flame, the difficulty that has been trapping him before was finally attacked, and Garten couldn't help but breathe a little relieved in his heart.
"White grass roots, as well as crane grass, and the essence of arborvitae leaves!" Gatten let out a low snort, lifted his spirits, and put the last kind of arborvitae leaf essence into the medicine pod.
Looking at the two liquids that slowly fused together in the medicine tripod, gradually turning into a dark yellow viscous liquid under the incineration of the flames, the smile on Gatten's face could not be concealed at all, to this point, this alchemy was basically successful, and it only needed to be maintained and fully activated in the future, and it could be baked.
When the liquid completely turned into a dark yellow lump, Gateng immediately stopped the supply of fighting qi, extinguished the flames, and aimed his right hand at the same time at the lump of liquid that Ding Zhong was about to fall, and a suction force was born out of thin air, forcing all the liquid out of Ding.
Garten's eyes quickly picked up the oversized jade bottle next to him, and filled it with all the liquid in mid-air without leaking a drop.
For his quick reaction, Gaten was very satisfied, if it was a solid elixir, it would be picked up at most if it fell at the bottom of the furnace, as for what was stained with furnace ash, hehe, anyway, Gaten didn't plan to take it for himself, what does it matter to me whether others eat the ashes or not. However, now that I am refining a liquid pill, if I fall it directly, then I have to put my hand in it and scrape it out little by little? Looking at the dark yellow viscous liquid that resembled some objects, Garten felt that it was better to take the pod and wash it with water.
"I don't know if the person who came up with this pill is disgusting, the dignified hemostatic medicine is actually this dark yellow diarrhea, if those mercenaries apply this pill to the wound on their face, they will be seen by others, will they be considered to eat Xiang!"
Looking at the jade bottle in his hand, Garten's excitement of successfully cultivating the pill disappeared inexplicably.
"Will this elixir not be sold? To kill or to save face? It's really worth considering......"
Do you want to add edible coloring?
Garten thought about the jade bottle for a long time, and finally gave up on this tempting approach.
Every pill is a successful product that can only be obtained after countless failures of an alchemist, if you recklessly add something to it, the explosion furnace is just a trivial matter, and it will be miserable to injure yourself and delay the cultivation time.
"Anyway, if you can't sell it, you can keep it for your own family." Garten thought innocently in his heart.
