Alchemy is a technical work, why is it that with the same Dan prescription and the same medicinal materials, some people have a very high chance of success, and they can refine many ten percent of the Dan every time, but some people fail repeatedly, or even burst the furnace?

In the final analysis, there are only three factors that determine the success or failure of alchemy: one is the dosage, the second is the Dan furnace, and the third is the technique.

The dosage of medicinal materials seems to be easy to grasp, but the active ingredients of different medicinal materials in different origins are very different, and even, the same kind of elixir, according to the year, climate, origin, and growth, the active ingredients of the medicinal materials in it are not the same.

Ordinary alchemists want to master the dosage, they can only rely on the most stupid method of seeing, smelling, and tasting, and through countless experiences, they can estimate the approximate content of the active ingredients in the elixir, but after all, this can only be roughly calculated, and the accuracy will not be too high.

And having a good Dan furnace can get twice the result with half the effort, and an inferior Dan furnace is sometimes enough to destroy a furnace of pills, which is a well-known thing, but good Dan furnaces are not often available, and the price is also very expensive, which is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Technique is also a very important factor, although there are detailed records in the recipe for when to put the medicine, when to need fierce fire, and when to need to simmer the fire, but as long as the temperature control is a little worse, the quality of the Dancheng will also be greatly different, which is the biggest difference between the alchemy master and ordinary people.

In order to pursue temperature control, some alchemists even searched the world for different flames, and the spiritual fire and the nine flavors of true fire were completely astray.

Although Qin Ming is only a beginner in terms of alchemy, he has a star spirit, which can accurately determine the content of active ingredients to milligrams, and he also has the mana Hong Furnace, which is a superb Dan furnace, which can accurately control the firepower, and all that is needed is practice makes perfect.

"I see, this Ning Yuan Dan's Dan recipe is not complicated, it just depends on experience and techniques, no wonder many people test the level of alchemists with Ning Yuan Dan as a test. ”

Qin Ming first glanced at the Dan Fang, and after keeping the Dan Fang in mind, he immediately scanned one of the medicinal materials with the Astral Key.

"Commander, it's being scanned......"

With Xingling's intelligence, the task was quickly completed, and it was calculated based on the previous Ning Yuan Dan to help Qin Ming's medicinal materials be weighed and classified together.

"Star Spirit, preheat the mana furnace to fourteen hundred degrees. ”

Qin Ming took a deep breath and began to warm up the mana furnace, preparing to start his first alchemy.

Theoretically, Qin Ming felt that it should be no problem, but what the effect would be and how many Ten Cheng Pills could be refined was still unknown in the end.

Success or failure can only be known by looking at the final result.

I saw that the ionic flame of the mana oven was sprayed in flakes, evenly preheating the furnace wall to the set temperature, and then, according to the Dan prescription, Qin Ming began to put medicinal materials into it one by one.

These medicinal materials had already been weighed and placed by the Star Spirit after accurately calculating the active ingredients, Qin Ming grabbed one and threw one away, there was no need to taste the step at all.

After these medicinal materials were put into the mana oven, they were quickly refined into juice or powder by the ionic flame inside, and they were quietly suspended in the middle of the mana oven, forming drops of pale golden liquid.

Various data such as the melting point and heating time of the herbs are continuously recorded in the main computer of the battleship through the sensors of the mana oven. These are precious data, as long as a database is established, with the precise control of mana ovens, mass production is not a dream.

"Cinnabar...... Red-striped grass ...... Mica...... "Qin Ming put in the medicinal herbs one by one, and the look on his face was extremely serious.

The Dan Fang records in detail the timing and order of the medicine into the furnace, once this is wrong, the effect is much worse, under Qin Ming's operation, soon, the twenty-one medicinal materials on the Dan Fang are put in turn.

Qin Ming's face was solemn, he took out another piece of Chiyang Stone, and according to the record on the Dan Fang, he pinched the magic method with both hands, and punched a True Yuan into the Chiyang Stone, and then also threw it into the Dan furnace.

After the red sun stone was put into the mana oven, it was immediately refined into juice by the high-temperature ion flame, turning into a red mist and evenly sprinkling it on the medicinal materials in the mana oven.

This Chiyang stone is famous, called the Hearthstone, is one of the methods of alchemy, and the other method is more traditional, which is the method of directly entering the recipe in the Dan furnace, these two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and have caused a lot of war of words among the alchemists. Although Qin Ming was inclined to the traditional method, his mana oven was far away on the Titan Star Fortress, and he couldn't penetrate the magic method at all, so he used the Hearthstone Flow method.

Under the action of this red light, these medicinal materials immediately underwent earth-shaking changes, and this red mist combined with the medicinal power of the medicinal materials being refined in the Dan furnace, and immediately underwent a wonderful change, gradually turning into the prototype of the pills.

"Warning: The pressure in the mana oven is constantly rising, ten standard atmospheres, twenty standard atmospheres...... Fifty standard atmospheres!"

The star spirit immediately reminded him drippingly, and the entire mana oven began to tremble slightly, obviously bearing extremely great power.

However, Qin Ming was not afraid that he would encounter the most terrifying explosion furnace, the wall of the mana oven was made of super alloy cast in one piece, it was really strong, and the resistance standard far exceeded fifty standard atmospheres, unless it was encountered by extremely explosive power, it would not be damaged at all.

"It's time to open the furnace!"

Qin Ming took a deep breath, a solemn look appeared on his face, opening the furnace is the last step, and the success or failure of alchemy depends on this time.

The lid of the mana oven slowly opened, and the high-temperature air rushed out, making a thudding sound.

"It's now!"

Ten round pale golden pills also flew out, and Qin Ming directly teleported these ten pills through dimensional teleportation, and grabbed them in his hand!

"The power of this pill is ninety percent, and the power of this pill is also ninety, and this one is even worse, only eighty percent ......"

Qin Ming spread out his palms and carefully observed these pills, but found that only one of the ten pills was a ten-percent pill, and the remaining eight could only be classified into the category of Huayuan Dan, as for the last pill, the medicinal power of the last pill was less than fifty-percent, the medicinal effect of this pill was mottled and impure, and the disadvantages of eating it outweighed the benefits, and it could only be regarded as a waste pill.

One Ning Yuan Pill is three hundred Chiyang Stones, plus eight Huayuan Pills worth fifty Chiyang Stones, which is equivalent to Qin Ming's furnace worth one thousand Chiyang Stones, and only earns back seven hundred Chiyang Stones.

Lose money!

Although, for ordinary people, the first alchemy did not explode, and it was already good to be able to earn back about seventy percent of the capital, but for Qin Ming, this was already a complete failure.

But Qin Ming's face didn't show much frustration, but he smiled very happily.

"I see, the refining temperature of the red-veined grass is a little higher, and the time to put in the red sun stone should be a little later......

By analyzing the database of Xingling, and then calculating the final elixir, Qin Ming quickly discovered the crux of the problem, and after summing up the experience, he reopened the furnace for alchemy, and made some fine-tuning of the alchemy process.

This time, when Qin Ming put in the main medicine of red-veined grass, he lowered the temperature a little, and then appropriately delayed the time to put in the red sun stone, and finally came to the most critical moment of opening the furnace.

Bang!

As the mana oven opened the door, ten golden and round pills suddenly erupted, and then they were grabbed by Qin Ming in his hand.

As soon as Qin Ming opened his palm, he saw that these pills seemed to be covered with a layer of flames, swaying like candle flames, dazzling.

Even, the flame on the pill had faintly taken on a human form, dancing happily, as if it had its own life and came to life!

"It's actually a vision of Dancheng with the candle shadow shaking red!"

A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Qin Ming's face, and he said.

It is not easy for the appearance of the Dancheng vision, only when the furnace is opened, the state of the pill reaches perfection, and all the pills are ten into the pill will appear when the Dancheng vision appears.

Although the candle shadow shaking red is the most common Dancheng vision, no matter which alchemist is, as long as he can refine the pill of the Dancheng vision, it is the target of the major commercial houses.

Although it is said that the higher the level of the alchemist, the more powerful it is, this is not absolute, because if a low-level alchemist can specialize in one subject, the probability of a Dancheng vision can sometimes be better than that of a high-grade alchemist.

The biggest advantage of high-grade alchemists is that they can refine high-grade pills, and the success rate is higher than that of low-level alchemists, but for commercial banks, what they value most is cost.

Refining the Dan once or twice may not be able to see anything, but what about ten, hundred, or thousand times? The cost of salaries and materials saved in this process is far more cost-effective than hiring a high-grade alchemist.

After a long time, the flame of the pill finally burned out, and the vision of the candle shadow shaking red gradually faded.

Qin Ming let out a long sigh, pressed the black spar at the door, and resummoned the steward.

"Trouble, three more herbs. Qin Ming's voice was flat, and he didn't have much of a sense of joy.

After speaking, Qin Ming took out ten Ning Yuan Dan and handed them to the steward.

"Okay, please wait a moment. ”

The steward looked at his words and felt that Qin Ming seemed to have failed in alchemy, and he wanted to burn money again if he was not convinced.

But this has nothing to do with him, as long as Qin Ming buys medicinal materials, he will have a commission, so he doesn't ask much, and after answering, he took back two more medicinal materials, and retired with interest.

Qin Ming saw his thoughts, but he deliberately kept a low profile, so he didn't say anything, and reopened the furnace to refine two furnaces of Ning Yuan Dan, this time with a more detailed database, there was no mistake in the three furnaces of Ning Yuan Dan, and the three furnaces were all ten percent of the Dan, refining the vision of the Dan Cheng with the candle shadow shaking red!

"Thirty Ning Yuan Dan, it should be about the same. ”

Qin Ming let out a long sigh of relief, stood up, and walked out of the Bingxin Tower.

If you buy medicinal materials here again, I am afraid that it will arouse other people's ideas, and the candle shadow will be red four times in a row? Even the alchemy master in Zhou Tianxing Palace can't guarantee it, and the probability of success is too terrifying.

He didn't want to be shocked, so he went to another medicine store and exchanged thirty Ning Yuan Dan for nine medicinal herbs.

Qin Ming still refined the Ning Yuan Pill according to the previous procedure, and this time there were nine visions of the candle shadow shaking red in succession, and each time these nine medicinal materials were made into ten Ning Yuan Pills, if this was spread out, I don't know how many alchemists would be scared to death.

But Qin Ming's psychology didn't feel that there was anything about this, he just regarded this as an assembly line production, no matter how powerful it was, it was just that the collective wisdom of designing the Titan Star Fortress was powerful.

As long as there is accurate quality control, it is not much difficult to produce Ning Yuan Dan on the assembly line.

After the alchemy was completed, Qin Ming was about to leave this quiet room, about to exchange Ning Yuan Dan for more medicinal materials, when he suddenly heard a faint sound of dispute at the door.
