"Ahh Master, you've figured out a way!? Man'er stood up in surprise.

"Maybe it's a way, you have to verify it to know! I'm not sure if it's going to work! I replied.

"As long as you have an idea, fast! You tell me, how to verify!! Man'er shouted softly at me.

"Come and see!" I pointed to the herbs that were lying on the table and said to Man'er.

"Didn't the wine lady tell us before? We have to refine at least five grades of pills to have a chance. ”

"So, we have to find a way to refine the Five Pindans this time!"

"Don't worry, I know that if we use these medicinal materials to refine the Five Pindan, we will lack one or two flavors of elixir."

"You see, we don't have the Gelong Root that we need to refine the Five Pindans here. But there's not such a dazzling flower here! One of them is a five-grade medicinal herb and the other is a sixth-grade medicinal herb. However, they are all cold herbs, and they all have similar effects. Right? ”

Man'er heard my words and nodded abruptly. Then he grabbed me in surprise and said, "You mean we can use dazzling flowers and plants instead of Grongen?" ”

"That's right, that's what I meant!!" I nodded.

"But although the medicinal properties of these two herbs are very similar, there is still a difference in substance!? You know, when refining the elixir, even the slightest mistake will lead to the failure of the alchemy! Man'er said to me.

When I heard this, I nodded and said, "I know this, but there is still a certain chance of success!?" ”

"I don't know, I haven't heard of anyone doing that before! Because the appearance of each Danfang was created after countless experiments! It's hard to easily change the medicinal materials in the pill, right? Man'er said to me.

Man'er was right, now all the alchemists are looking for pills everywhere. Danfang has even become an important weight used by major super sects to recruit alchemists. For this reason, the major sects are also working hard to collect all kinds of Danfang.

However, at this point, I should have understood the purpose of this competition.

"Nope! No! Listen to me! The more I talked, the more confident I became! I'm pretty much sure now. The difficulty in this competition is to make us realize this. Their goal is for us to use other herbs to replace the ones that are missing from the various pills! ”

"You're right, every Danfang was created after countless experiments!"

"But think about it, before these pills were created, then who knew which medicinal herbs were combined together, and then what pills could be refined?"

Therefore, the people who created these Danfang did not begin to try to combine them after they had a deep understanding of the medicinal properties of various medicinal materials. In this process, they will continue to improve and optimize, and finally determine that they can refine a certain elixir by combining some medicinal materials. ”

"Even if it is a very successful Danfang, there will be times when it will be changed. For example, under certain conditions, a certain herb in a Danfang is gone, so what should I do? It's impossible to never be able to refine this elixir in the future, right? And the facts have proved that it has not been improved, replaced by another medicinal material, and then refined this elixir again! ”

When Man'er heard my words, she nodded again and again, and said to me with a happy face: "Young Master, you are so smart! That's how it should be! In these years, I have heard people say that although many ancient pills are still there, those pills cannot be refined at all. Because the medicinal materials in those pills are nowhere to be found! Therefore, the organizers of this competition are to test us on this point and see if we can discover the mystery of this. ”

"Well, that's right, they are testing our comprehension and creative ability on the premise of assessing whether we are a qualified alchemist! I think this test question should have been put forward by that Sun Liu's senior. Because only people of his height think about these issues. And we ordinary alchemists will only use ready-made pills for alchemy! I said.

"Hmmm! Well! Man'er nodded repeatedly.

With so many medicinal herbs in front of us, we can completely choose from them with similar medicinal properties and try them. This is also a test of our understanding of the medicinal properties of various medicinal materials.

Thinking of the Sun Liu's predecessor who said that he was going to accept a closed disciple, I feel even more that my current thinking is correct.

What he needed was not a disciple who could refine the pill according to the pill formula. What he needs is a disciple with strong comprehension and creative ability. At the same time, he also demanded that we must learn to think, and not passively carry out alchemy according to the Dan prescription.

"That'...... Master, let's get started! Half of the time has passed!! Man'er urged me.

"Hmmm! You first pick out all the herbs with similar medicinal properties to Gelong root!! The higher the grade, the better! I said to Man'er.

If the high-grade medicinal materials replace the low-grade medicinal materials, the success rate will naturally be much higher.

There is even a possibility that the person who designed this five-grade Danfang originally used higher-grade medicinal materials. After refining the elixir, the value of the elixir could not meet the corresponding requirements. Therefore, he had to find a way to replace the low-grade medicinal materials with the original high-grade medicinal materials.

Or perhaps, the person who designed this Wupin Danfang deliberately lowered the grade of the medicinal materials in consideration of the cost.

Therefore, we can't rule out a possibility, that is, after we replace the missing herbs with high-grade medicinal materials, the quality of the elixirs we refine will be higher.

The more I thought about it, the more excited I felt, and I quickly selected the herbs that I had.

"Young Master, you see, I have found three herbs with similar medicinal properties to the root of Gelong. Two six-grade and one seven-grade!! "Man'er took the three medicinal herbs and placed them in front of me.

"Okay, let's use the seven-grade first!" I answered.

Then I began to throw the herbs into the Dan furnace in order, and then my fingers changed, and I kept punching the Dan recipe into the Dan furnace.

As bursts of medicinal fragrance continue to come out, I already see the hope of success.

However, when I saw that the pill in the Dan Furnace had already begun to condense the Dan, I was ready to let Man'er collect the Dan. But suddenly there was a soft noise in the Dan furnace.

"Poof!"

A puff of green smoke came out of the Dan furnace, followed by a mushy smell.

Failed!!

"Young Master, how could you fail? I'm going to see it! Man'er asked me.

I shook my head, then thought about it.

"Or maybe this five-pinned pill can't carry the medicinal properties of this seven-pin medicinal herb at all!" I'm not sure.

"Then should we try to change it to a six-grade medicinal herb?" Man'er asked me.

"Don't use it first, you have to know that there is an assessment of the quality of pills in the criteria of this assessment. They didn't ask us to save money. Therefore, I think that if we add seven medicinal materials to these five pins of pills, then the quality of the pills we refine will definitely be much higher!! I said.

"Then try again?" Man'er said.

I nodded, and then together with Man'er, I poured out the slag that had been refined in the Dan furnace. After cleaning the Dan Furnace, I started refining the Pill again.

"Poof!!" This time, I had already succeeded in refining, and when Man'er was collecting the pills, the pills in the pill furnace suddenly underwent an inexplicable mutation, and all the pills turned into a pile of waste ash again.

"Ahh Master...... I...... I'm sorry!! Man'er stood up, her face blackened and white from the black smoke coming out.

Looking at Man'er's appearance, I couldn't help but laugh.

"Young Master, what are you laughing at!?" Man'er pursed her lips and said to me with an aggrieved expression.

"Nothing! Wipe your face! I pointed at Man'er and said.

When Man'er heard this, she reached out and touched her face in a panic.

"Yikes!" Man'er looked at the black ash in her hands, exclaimed, and immediately turned around and wiped her face with her sleeve.

We couldn't use our storage rings at this point, and she had no other way to clean her face.

I smiled and walked up behind her, grabbed her shoulders, and turned her around: "Alright, I'll wipe it for you!" ”

I wiped my sleeve on her face.

Although it can't be wiped off completely, at least it's better than before: "It's almost, let's do it first!" When you're done with the competition, you can clean it up! ”

Hearing this, Man'er nodded, and said to me timidly: "Young master, I'm sorry!" You've succeeded in refining, but I messed you up when I was harvesting Dan!! ”

Looking at Man'er's appearance, I smiled, patted her lightly and said, "Okay, it's not your fault!" I've seen it, and it's still the same problem from the previous furnace. It was the unstable medicinal properties of those seven-grade medicinal materials that caused you to fail to collect pills! ”

"What then? Why don't we try it with the herbs of the six grades?? Man'er still looked a little guilty.

"No, I still want to try it, anyway, there are a lot of these seven-grade medicinal materials! Enough for us to try again! I said to Man'er.

"However, after this smell is added, we can't control it, we can't let it stabilize!" Man'er said to me.

Hearing her words, I groaned.

Yes, this is indeed a big problem.

After thinking for a while, I came up with a bold idea: "Man'er, if we don't do this, we won't move the main medicinal herbs, and the other medicinal herbs will replace a few flavors with the medicinal herbs of the sixth grade!" In this way, the overall medicinal properties of the elixirs we have refined have increased. In that case, you may be able to withstand the medicinal properties of that seven-grade medicinal herb!! ”

"Okay?" Man'er asked me.

"Try it, although what we have refined is still a five-pin pill. But no one stipulates that Wupindan must use Wupindan's medicinal materials? You forgot that the Great Jade Soul Rejuvenation Fruit was a five-grade elixir. It can be used to refine the Soul Rejuvenation Heart Pill of the Three Grades. You can also use it to refine the Great Jade Pill of the Five Grades! I said to Man'er.
