Chapter 162: The Path of the Medicine Master
"Soul power is still used for this?" Lan Qian was a little surprised in his heart, but as far as the 4 points were concerned, Lan Qian could clearly feel that there was a huge difference between each level, so for the 7 points, Lan Qian was full of confidence.
Sure enough, as Lan Qian expected, when Elder Huang had divided all the 7 divisions, Lan Qian was completely able to keep up, and he could clearly distinguish each degree of flame power, and even Lan Qian felt that it could be further subdivided.
"Very good! Really good!" Huang Lao was slightly surprised when he saw that Lan Qian had completely mastered the 7-point method.
"It seems that we will definitely be able to refine a high-quality elixir later!" Huang Lao was full of confidence at the moment, "I will refine the Qingling Pill by myself first, you can watch my technique carefully on the side, see how I transform the power of the flame, and then we will refine it again!"
"Hmm!" Unconsciously, Lan Qian's path to a pharmacist began, although Huang Lao said that he would not teach Lan Qian to refine medicine, but he explained it in detail from beginning to end, Lan Qian also said that he would not take the path of a pharmacist for the time being, but he was more serious than anyone else.
I saw that Huang Lao put the white paste wood into Feng Tianding, first melted it with medium heat, then removed impurities with high fire, and finally purified it with fierce fire, and soon a white paste wood became a white medicine ball.
"After the elixir is purified, it must not be allowed to cool down, and the temperature must be maintained continuously with a low fire, otherwise the medicinal power will be dissipated!" Huang Lao explained as he transferred the white medicine ball to a small phoenix nest inside Feng Tianding.
Feng Tianding's tripod is not a single space, but divided into 7 phoenix nests, the middle phoenix nest is the largest, is the main place for refining elixir, around 6 small phoenix nests in a circle, evenly distributed on the edge of Feng Tianding. The function of the small phoenix nest is to temporarily store the purified elixir to prevent the medicinal power from dissipating. Feng Tianding only had 6 small phoenix nests, which meant that it could only refine pills with formulas of 6 or less.
After placing the white pill in the small phoenix's nest, Huang Lao had to control two flames at the same time, one for the elixir purification in the big phoenix's nest, and the other for the small phoenix's nest to keep warm. The greater the number of elixirs in the elixir recipe, the more difficult it becomes to refine because you have to control multiple flames at the same time.
Next, Huang Lao purified the remaining three elixirs one by one, among which the Qingzhi Water Spirit Paste turned into a small ball of liquid, the sea heart pith turned into a drop of emulsion, and the blood essence leaf turned into a drop of red leaf juice.
"After purification, it cannot be mixed immediately, but it needs to be repeatedly tempered to completely stimulate the medicinal power!" Huang Lao continued to explain. I saw that Huang Lao repeatedly quenched the four elixirs, some with small fire, some with fierce fire, and the quenching time was also different, and the number of times was even more huge. For example, the white plaster wood was quenched 10 times, but the sea heart essence was only quenched 3 times.
"This medicine refining is really complicated!" Lan Qian couldn't help but sigh.
"The refining work is complete, and at this point, the preliminary preparations for refining the Qingling Pill are completed!"
"What? was just preliminary work just now?" Lan Qian was stunned. From the time the white plaster wood was invested in Feng Tianding to the present, a full hour has passed, and this is only the preliminary work.
"Of course, this is just the preliminary work, for refining medicine, although the preliminary work is tedious, but there is no risk, the next fusion is the most thrilling part, if you are not careful, you will fail, the higher the level of the elixir, the greater the failure rate!"
"It's really incredible!" Lan Qian sighed again.
"Look at it!" Huang Lao's face was solemn and engrossed, "Different elixirs, fusion methods are also different, some require all the elixirs to be fused together, and some need to be fused one by one, for the Qingling Pill, it needs to be fused in pairs, and then the final fusion will be done." ”
Huang Lao explained while doing this, and began to fuse the medicinal mass of the white paste wood with the emulsion of the sea heart marrow, "If the fused elixir does not clash with each other, it can be slowly blended and mixed from low heat, if the medicinal power is hedged strongly, in addition to the need to buffer the elixir, it is also necessary to use fierce fire to force fusion!"
Lan Qian knew that every word of Huang Lao at this time was a golden and jade good word, so he memorized it very carefully to lay a good foundation for his future path as a pharmacist.
"The white plaster wood and the sea heart marrow have been fused!" Lan Qian stared intently at the two elixirs in the Great Phoenix Nest, and at this time, the two had completely blended into one, turning into a small light blue pill.
"Next is the fusion of Qingzhi Water Spirit Paste and Blood Essence Leaf. Huang Lao said.
The fusion of Qingzhi Water Spirit Paste and Blood Essence Leaf was also smooth, and after the fusion, it turned into a translucent liquid.
"The Last Fusion!" Under Huang Lao's control, the light blue pill and the translucent liquid slowly came into contact and slowly fused together.
"When the fusion is just finished, you need to warm it with a low heat to let it mix thoroughly, and then the flame gradually increases in power, and the final calcination and shaping are carried out!"
The time to set the shape was much longer than Lan Qian imagined, Huang Lao used a fierce fire to calcine for half an hour, and the Qingling Pill was just beginning to take shape, different from the previous pills, the Qingling Pill at this time not only became smooth and the surface, but also exuded a faint fragrance.
"It's going to be baked soon!" Huang Lao's face was slightly excited.
When the fragrance of the Qingling Pill was extremely strong, Huang Lao's hands spit out the spiritual power, and the Qingling Pill flew out directly from Fengtianding and fell into Huang Lao's hands.
"Well, it's not bad!" Huang Laoping raised his palm and observed carefully.
"There are some faint blue streaks!" Lan Qian noticed.
"Well, this is a sign of the formation of the Qingling Pill, the higher the quality of the Qingling Pill, the more obvious the blue stripes will be!" Huang Lao explained.
Lan Qian remembered it again.
"This is the complete refining process, it should be clear!" Huang Lao asked.
"Well, that's clear!"
"Okay, then let's start refining medicine together, starting with a simple primary elixir, and then refining the Qingling Pill when you are proficient!"
"It's all up to Huang Lao's arrangement!"
Under Huang Lao's command, Lan Qian began to output wood attribute spiritual power, and with Huang Lao's flame power, he carried out the refining of the primary and middle-grade elixir Qingshen Pill. The formula of the Qingshen Pill is very simple, only two elixirs, the Vitality Fruit and the White Paste Wood, are also quite fast to refine, and they are all refined in one hour.
"Not bad! Not bad!" Huang Lao was very satisfied, "Your learning ability is really good, and the quality of this Qingshen Pill is also quite good!"
Lan Qian took the Qingshen Pill that he participated in refining, and his heart was excited, and he couldn't help but show a silly smile on his face!
"I've given it to you!" Huang Lao directly gave Lan Qian the Qingshen Pill that had just been successfully refined.
"Thank you, Senior Huang!" Although this Qingshen Pill was not very valuable, Lan Qian was still very happy, because it contained some of the fruits of his labor.
"Next, we're going to try the refining of the Qingling Pill!"
"Hmm!"
Since I have seen the refining of Qingling Pill throughout the whole process, the refining this time is also very smooth. When Huang Lao transformed the power of the flame, Lan Qian was able to follow in an instant, and Huang Lao was amazed at this.
"Out of the oven!" The strong fragrance of the Qingling Pill wafted out again, Huang Lao's hands spit out the spiritual power, and with a move of his hand, the freshly baked Qingling Pill fell directly into Huang Lao's hands.
"Good! good!" Huang Lao was very satisfied with the Qingling Pill in front of him, "This quality, this sky blue stripe, has completely reached the level of an intermediate-grade mid-grade elixir, hahahaha...... "For a pharmacist, being able to refine an intermediate-grade mid-grade elixir means that his own strength has reached the level of an intermediate-grade pharmacist. Huang Lao has been an intermediate-level low-grade pharmacist since he obtained the Gray Mortal Fire, and for hundreds of years, he has been an intermediate-level low-grade pharmacist, and the elixirs he refines have also stopped at the intermediate-grade low-grade elixirs. This time, with the help of Lan Qian, Huang Lao successfully refined the intermediate-grade mid-grade elixir, breaking through the shackles of hundreds of years in one fell swoop, and the joy can be imagined.
"Congratulations to Senior Huang!" Lan Qian was also happy for Old Huang.
"Haha!" Huang Lao stroked his beard and laughed nonstop.
"It's also thanks to your help! Come, accompany me to refine a green elixir, one for each of us!" Huang Lao was in a good mood, and directly rewarded Lan Qian with an intermediate mid-grade elixir.
"Thank you Huang senior!" Lan Qian was flattered. Different from the Qingshen Pill, this Qingling Pill is not only an intermediate-grade mid-grade elixir, but also very useful, if Lan Qian encounters a situation of no physical strength or no spiritual power again in the future, a Qingling Pill can completely solve the problem.
With excitement, Lan Qian and Huang Lao once again refined an intermediate-grade Qingling Pill.
"Haha, we're really a perfect match!" Huang Lao laughed heartily, "I kind of want to keep you by my side!"
"If Senior Huang doesn't dislike it, Lan Qian is willing to stay in Jincheng for a while!" With such a good opportunity to learn alchemy, Lan Qian naturally wouldn't miss it.
"Okay! It just so happens that I have a lot of mid-grade mid-grade elixirs that I want to refine, and we will refine them the same in the future, haha!"
"Listen to Huang's seniors!"
"Well, are you tired? if you're not tired, we'll continue!"
"Don't get tired, you can continue!"
"The next thing to be refined is an earth-attribute elixir that can protect the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, it is called Heihuang Pill, an intermediate-grade mid-grade elixir. I have never refined this elixir, and the difficulty is higher than that of the Qingling Pill, which is why I want to try the Qingling Pill first, if you have no way to cooperate with the completion of the refining of the Qingling Pill, then the Heihuang Pill will not have to be considered at all. However, judging from the current situation, Heihuang Dan still has a great chance!"
Lan Qian listened intently, and Huang Lao continued, "Refining the Black Huang Pill requires 5 kinds of elixirs, which are Wen Stem Wood, Earth Flame Lingzhi, Earth Spirit Juice, Dragon Pattern Grass and Black Huang Stone, among which the Black Huang Stone is the rarest and most precious, and I only have one on hand, which means that we only have one chance to refine it!"
"This ...... It's so stressful!" Lan Qian touched his forehead.
"Don't be nervous, just be the same as before!" Huang Lao soothed, "Let's start!"
