Chapter Seventy-Two: Beginner Alchemy
Leaving the council hall, Xiao Yan returned to his room, and after preparing some of the things needed to refine the healing medicine, he quietly slipped up to the remote cave where he had cultivated before in the back mountain.
Yao Lao once said that when refining medicine, don't be disturbed, there are many people in the family, in case it collides directly like Xiao Yu last time, then Xiao Yan can't afford the consequences.
Sneakily running into the cave, Xiao Yan couldn't wait to take out the ring from his arms, and put a fighting qi into it, the light on the pale red ring flashed slightly, and then a red medicine tripod close to half a meter or so appeared in the cave out of thin air.
The whole body of the medicine tripod is dark red, with a little bit of light on it, at the lower part of the medicine tripod, carved with two hideous snake heads, the large open snake mouth, forming two interconnected fire holes, the hollow bends continuously, the deeper it goes, the smaller the diameter, faintly looks, it seems that there is a mysterious martial arts inside.
At the top of the medicine tripod, the giant snake is entrenched in a dark red tripod cover, and there is a special hole in the tripod cover, which is a place where medicinal materials are specially invested.
On the lid of the tripod, there are some fine holes made of ice silver, which has the effect of heat dissipation, in order to prevent the explosion of the furnace caused by high temperatures, and the middle part of the medicine tripod is placed with a transparent mirror made of cold ice essence, from here, when refining medicine, you can clearly see all the movement and movement inside.
The surface of the medicine tripod is painted with beautiful carvings of magical beasts, and the appearance is lifelike, just like a living thing.
Looking at this gorgeous-looking medicine tripod, Xiao Yan nodded with satisfaction, touched the simple black ring on his finger, and the medicine aged into a flash of light.
"Well, the best of two people, that's not bad for a novice like you. Glancing at the three shekou on the dark red medicine tripod, Yao Lao said lightly.
"The top of the two?" Hearing this unfamiliar title, Xiao Yan blinked suspiciously.
"The more the fire port of the Ding furnace, the more advanced the medicine tripod, the rarer it is, don't think that this kind of fire mouth is just a few holes, the mystery inside, it is difficult for laymen to find out, and the fire mouth is the essence of the medicine tripod, which requires high-precision polishing, during the construction period, as long as there is a slight mistake, the entire medicine tripod will be reduced to a failure, therefore, the more the fire mouth, the auxiliary effect of refining medicine, the stronger, of course, if you want to control multiple fire ports, it requires a strong soul perception, like you now, can control two fire mouths, it is already the limitγ Yao Lao smiled and explained that Wu Dong was moving.
"A good medicine tripod is as important to an alchemist as a sword in the hands of a samurai. β
Nodding slightly abruptly, Xiao Yan looked at the big guy in front of him and asked in a daze, "What should I do next?"
"You better familiarize yourself with the medicine pod first, press one of your hands on the fire, and then use the fighting qi in your body to enter it. Yao Lao Pan sat in the cave and commanded the Dao martial arts.
Nodding, Xiao Yan touched the fire mouth, his eyes closed slightly, the pale yellow cyclone in his body fluctuated slightly, and streams of pale yellow fighting qi gushed out, and finally illuminated his palms slightly yellow.
The pale yellow fighting qi, after reaching the palm of the hand, fell silent slightly, and then as if it was subjected to a violent suction, it actually burst out of the palm, and then through the fire mouth, it drilled into the medicine tripod and moved into the martial arts.
"Poof..."
With a muffled sound, the light yellow air flow was abruptly transformed into a light yellow essence flame after passing through the fire mouth, and in the medicine tripod, it was constantly churning and burning.
The palm of his hand suddenly erupted into flames, which shocked Xiao Yan's heart, and he almost reflexively withdrew his hand, but fortunately, after sensing that the palm of his hand was still cold, he suppressed the panic and moved the martial arts.
"Well, it's not bad, you can transform into flames the first time. β
Looking at the churning flames in the medicine tripod, Yao Lao nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The flame you summoned at this time is not the fire of refining medicine, now you Shen Shen controls the trace of wood attribute in your body, and then pours it into the medicine tripod!"
Xiao Yan closed his eyes as he said, his mind slowly condensed, and his excellent soul perception continued to scan the shallow wood power back and forth in his body.
The first time he looked for the power of wood in his body, it took more than ten minutes before Xiao Yan opened his eyes with a sigh of relief.
"Found it?" Seeing Xiao Yan open his eyes, Yao Lao said in some surprise, after seeing the former nodding, he couldn't help but praise in his heart, when he first looked for the power of wood in his body, it took nearly half an hour, which shows how powerful Xiao Yan's soul perception is.
Xiao Yan stretched out a finger and tapped it on the other fire mouth, and an extremely meager green air flow was slowly poured into the martial arts.
The green airflow had just entered the medicine pod, and the pale yellow flame inside was as if a chemical reaction had occurred, and it suddenly quieted down, at this time, even if Xiao Yan had not yet controlled the flames in it, he could also perceive that the berserk factor in the flames had been neutralized by the power of wood, and because of the principle of wood making fire, the flames at this time were obviously more durable and controllable than before.
"Okay..."Nodding with satisfaction, Yao Lao stretched out his finger and touched Xiao Yan's forehead, and a stream of information passed into the latter's head.
"This is my own healing medicine prescription, you can try to refine it, I will remind you to control the temperature of the flame and the ingredients of the refining herbs at any time. β
Squinting his eyes slightly to sense the information in his brain, Xiao Yan nodded slightly.
"Blood coagulation scatter, one blood coagulation grass, one living qi fruit, two poppies ......"
After memorizing the number of medicinal materials in his mind, Xiao Yan's soul perception gradually invaded into the medicine tripod, and he tried his best to control the relatively gentle flame martial arts.
His fingers flicked on the ring, and a somewhat dark red blood coagulation grass appeared in his palm, and after a little hesitation, Xiao Yan threw it from the entrenched snake head on the top of the medicine tripod and moved into it.
As soon as the blood condensation grass entered the medicine tripod, Xiao Yan didn't have time to control it, the flames were fluttering up, and in an instant, a blood condensation grass turned into pitch-black ashes, and finally was expelled from the Ding by the special settings in the medicine tripod.
Looking at his first mistake, Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly and moved his martial arts.
"Go on. "Yao Lao said lightly.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Xiao Yan threw a blood condensation grass again, this time the blood condensation grass, which lasted in the flames for a while, still turned into pitch-black ashes.
"It's hot. β
Wiping a handful of cold sweat, it was his turn to refine the pill by himself, Xiao Yan finally knew that this work was really not something that anyone could easily deal with.
After persistently burning more than twenty blood coagulation grasses, Xiao Yan finally reluctantly touched the blood coagulation grass's adaptation point to temperature.
Throwing in a blood condensation grass again, Xiao Yan's face was solemn, his soul perception firmly compressed the temperature of the flame, and his eyes looked through the ice mirror, staring at the blood condensation grass suspended on the flame.
After churning in the flames for a while, the blood condensation grass finally began to gradually shed its turf, and the juice contained in the grass blades was also smoked into a little bit of pale white powder, and the essence medicinal power in the blood condensation grass was finally successfully refined by Xiao Yan, a rookie.
