After a long time, this alchemy work finally came to an end.

After wasting dozens of medicinal materials, Zhou Hao finally succeeded in refining a furnace! However, some of the more precious medicinal herbs, such as the Moon Shadow Vine, were half wasted. Fortunately, ambergris is the last step that needs to be added, otherwise it would be a great pity if it only lost one plant.

Seeing the three pills in the stone bowl that were still exuding heat, Zhou Hao hurriedly took out a jade bottle from the bag to hold them, so as not to cause a waste of medicinal properties.

At this point, the matter of refining the Gu Pill for Huang Zhen has finally come to an end.

But then, Zhou Hao didn't plan to get up and return immediately, but took out some medicinal materials again, lit the fire again, and prepared for another alchemy!

It's still early now, and there are plenty of herbs around, so it's better to practice now and get familiar with the feeling of alchemy.

"You were able to refine the previous alchemy, it can only be said that it was purely a coincidence......" Gu Shu's voice was still a little depressed, obviously not relieving himself from the large amount of wasted medicinal materials, "After all, you are just a novice, if you can successfully refine it at one time, it will be a fantasy......

The path of alchemy is more arduous and profound than the path of martial arts, and it is impossible for people without great wisdom and perseverance to achieve achievements. Therefore, even in ancient times, the number of alchemists was far less than that of martial artists.

And Gu Shu and Zhou Hao want to rush for quick success, which is just a fool's dream.

Having been hit by reality, they all began to calm down and prepare for a new alchemy.

The ancient book pondered for a moment and said, "According to some of the records of my former master in the book, I have probably flipped through it, and there are not many pills suitable for novices to refine. There are mainly Force Pills, Hui Qi Pills, and some pills that help people improve their skills. I suggest you choose one of them first! Not only can you improve your strength, but also in terms of refining techniques, it is currently the most suitable for you. ”

But in the end, it added: "It's the simplest kind of elixir." And the medicinal materials needed are not very rare. ”

"Okay, then refine Juyuan Dan!" Zhou Hao nodded and listened to the advice of the ancient book.

Refining the elixir is indeed an extremely cumbersome matter, and often a furnace of elixir will take half an hour or even an hour! Coupled with some delicate processing processes and subtle heat control, the energy consumed is also quite huge!

In short, after Zhou Hao practiced for two hours, he felt that all the strength in his body had been drained, and he was extremely weak, if it weren't for the demonic energy that was easing, he would really doubt that he would fall to the ground.

But this kind of exertion also has some results. After refining and discarding at least four furnaces of medicinal materials, Zhou Hao finally slowly mastered some tricks and grasped the essence of a little bit, at least the success rate is no longer terrifyingly low.

In another hour, he finally refined two furnaces of Juyuan Dan in a row!

There are a total of six grains in the two furnaces, which is not much, and it is just filled with a jade bottle.

Holding the bottleneck in his hand, his eyes looked at the round six pills inside, Zhou Hao couldn't help but sigh a little.

This is different from the previous time when he completely relied on luck to refine the Gu Pill, this time he really relied on his strength to refine it!

Gu Shu was on the side, and he couldn't help but be a little amazed when he saw Zhou Hao's almost god-fast progress. In just one morning, you can go from a rookie with no practical experience to a little bit of alchemy now, and get a first glimpse of the door, which is almost unimaginable in ancient times!

Normally, even the disciples of those high-level alchemists who were proud of their talents would not be able to progress so quickly.

But then it thought about it, and at the same time couldn't help but feel a little painful in its heart, where would anyone have such a large amount of medicinal materials to practice in ancient times! The resources that each apprentice can get are very small, and he can't wait to break a medicinal herb in half and use it!

And Zhou Hao, it's the opposite!

This lot of medicinal herbs don't need to be thrown down, as long as the IQ is normal, plus a little clever, it's a strange thing that the progress is not fast!

"Gu Shu, come and see how my elixir is refined!" Zhou Hao took out the ancient book and waved it in front of it like a treasure, with a little smugness in his eyes.

"This elixir?" The ancient book seemed to carefully examine these pills, and then the pages of the book turned slightly, as if shaking his head slightly, and said, "No! ”

"No way?" Zhou Hao was dumbfounded.

This elixir still has a pungent medicinal fragrance, even if you just smell it, you can feel refreshed!

In Zhou Hao's opinion, it is clearly a good elixir!

"Huh...... Otherwise, do you think it's pretty good? Gu Shu sneered, as if he was intent on striking him, and said slowly, "Do you know that even if it is the same elixir, the quality of the refining technique will cause it to be divided into five orders?" ”

"I don't know......" Zhou Hao was dumbfounded, this knowledge has not yet been taught to him in ancient books.

"At the first order, there are no Dan lines on the pill, and the medicinal fragrance can hardly be suppressed. At this stage, the medicinal properties are just normal. ”

"Second order, there is a Dan pattern tattooed on the elixir, and the fragrance is overflowing! At this stage, the medicinal properties increase by 20%. ”

"The third order, with two Dan lines, the Dan fragrance is pleasant. At this stage, the medicinal properties increase by 40%! ”

"Fourth-order, there are three Dan lines, and the Dan incense is convergent. At this stage, the medicinal properties increase by sixty percent! ”

"And the fifth order, there is no Dan pattern, and the Dan incense is completely astringent. It seems ordinary, but in fact, the medicinal properties at this stage have increased by at least ten percent! There may even be other unexpected effects! It can be called the holy product of Danzhong! ”

"But this holy elixir is extremely rare even in my time......

"In this case......" Zhou Hao was stunned, his eyes immediately focused on his pill, and he didn't see the Dan pattern, the fifth order is impossible, then there is only one possibility left, "Is it just the first order...... I was a little disappointed.

"First order? Heh......" Gu Shu chuckled and said disdainfully, "Big mistake! From my point of view, your elixir is not even a first-order, it is just not in the stream......"

Immediately, it said, "This elixir not only has a bonus to its attributes, but it may even have a little side effect. In my opinion, it is not recommended for you to eat ......"

"Uh......" Zhou Hao was stunned and deeply frustrated. Feelings: I spent most of the day refining what I was refining was an unpopular elixir?!

"Well...... said, "you don't have to be discouraged. After all, you are just starting to make alchemy, and you can't do it overnight. A lot of practice will naturally improve! ”

This is all true. The reason why the ancient book criticized the pills that Zhou Hao had refined before was worthless was also to warn him, so that he would not be too conceited. After all, his rapid progress can be called a genius in ancient times!

You must know that it took two days of hard work for its former owner to refine a decent elixir!
