Chapter 182: Purification and Alchemy
After having acquired some treasures from the auction, Chu Yulong and Night Frost began to prepare for the minor Dabi. Night Frost seems to be relatively relaxed, after all, when you can be in the Hou Rank, taming the demon beasts of the Hou Rank can already be said to be a limit. And Chu Yulong is different, Chu Yulong's alchemy level is now only at the general level, and occasionally he can refine handsome level pills. Compared to the strength of his Hou rank, it is nothing.
In order to save time, the minor Dabi was held almost at the same time period. There are two flowers, one on each branch.
Let's say that Chu Yulong and Night Frost separated and came to the huge square in front of the City Lord's Mansion. This square is usually used as a place for the City Lord's Mansion and the large forces in the Iron Domain City to recruit people, but today it has become the location of the Alchemy Great Competition. A total of nearly a thousand alchemy masters selected from various imperial cities gathered in this square at this moment.
I have to say that such a scene of thousands of tripods is indeed shocking. Chu Yulong was just a very inconspicuous person among them, and the position where he sat cross-legged was not the best among nearly a thousand people, the most eye-catching was just a very ordinary position.
For the sake of fairness and to prevent some alchemists from being eliminated because they did not have a certain medicinal material, the medicinal materials required for the first and second rounds were all prepared by the Iron Domain City Government. When it came to the third round, when refining the self-created elixir, all the medicinal materials had to be prepared by themselves.
The first round of purification of medicinal herbs began as soon as everything arrived, and no one was in a hurry to start purifying medicinal herbs directly. One after another, they turned into fire and warmed their own Dan furnaces. After all, the number of medicinal materials provided by Iron Domain City was limited, and no one dared to be sloppy.
The medicinal herb purified this time is called Clematella, and the grade is not very high, only the human rank. Of course, the reason why this medicinal material was chosen as the medicinal material for the comparison is because the iron thread grass has a characteristic that other medicinal materials do not have: the iron thread grass is a rare medicinal material that can be purified repeatedly.
This medicinal herb called Clematis is like a real wire, and his purification is as if it is not on the line, as long as the level of the alchemist is sufficient, then it is an exaggeration to say that this Clematis can be purified all the time. Seeing that this year's purified medicinal materials turned out to be iron thread grass, many people had a bitter face, but the corners of Chu Yulong's mouth crossed a trace of arc.
When Chu Yulong was studying under Zhou Laomen, he had a lot of dealings with clematis. After the Dan furnace was warmed by Wen Yang, Chu Yulong raised his hand and grabbed the iron thread grass and threw it into the Dan furnace. After the transformation of the Dan Furnace, Chu Yulong's qi and blood were smoothly transformed into Dan Fire, wrapping the iron thread grass and churning up and down.
Even if he can use Yuan Li now, Chu Yulong still likes to use qi and blood in general. Compared with the Dan Huo formed by Yuan Li, the Dan Fire formed by Qi and Blood is more manic, and it is very suitable for purifying Clematis Grass. Chu Yulong stared intently at the churning iron thread grass in the Dan furnace, thinking inwardly about whether to trigger the law to bless his Dan fire. It's just that after thinking about it for a long time, Chu Yulong still gave up, in case something happens, it will be a big trouble.
However, even if there is no power to induce the law, Chu Yulong's qi and blood pill fire is enough to complete the purification of the iron thread grass. The purification of medicinal herbs occurs every year, so it is possible to roughly speculate on the extent to which the medicinal herbs can be purified. In general, medicinal materials are based on the quality of purification and the number of impurities.
For the purification of clematis, there have been before, and the old housekeeper said that as long as it can be refined three times without fail, it should be able to enter the next round. Chu Yulong thought to himself in his heart, he definitely couldn't wait until his qi and blood were exhausted to stop refining. Because the exercises he practiced were very unusual, and they were much more profound and long-lasting than ordinary Hou-rank cultivators. Chu Yulong secretly estimated it in his heart, and finally decided to purify it four times.
Not long after Chu Yulong made up his mind, a scorched breath suddenly came from the Dan furnace, which was two places apart from him. The man's brows were about to condense into a line, but he still slapped the lid of the Dan furnace and removed the residue of the clematis. Instead of rushing to a second purification, the man silently returned to his own consumption on his knees.
Chu Yulong didn't pay attention to this person, there were only two wiregrasses in total, which meant that there were only two chances in the first stage, and Chu Yulong didn't want to waste an opportunity because of distraction.
In the end, Chu Yulong still found that he had underestimated his exercises, and when he purified to the third to the fourth, many people had to give up purification because of poor cultivation. Chu Yulong finally chose a purification node and stopped his purification on the third time, but the quality was undoubtedly much better than the ordinary three purifications.
With his proficiency in the purification of clemat grass, Chu Yulong became one of the alchemists who was not a conspicuous place on the high platform, but still caused shock. After the gray clematis was purified, it turned into a pale cyan liquid, and Chu Yulong carefully put the purified liquid into a jade bottle and sent it to the referee.
After sending the purified liquid of the iron thread grass to the referee, Chu Yulong returned to his original position, sat down cross-legged and practiced silently, ignoring other things. This approach has attracted the attention of many people, after all, the next result is still very important, and there are not many people who can handle it calmly or have confidence in themselves.
The people who can come here to serve as referees are all alchemy masters, and after all the successful people handed in the purification, the result came out in less than a minute. In the end, 500 people were successfully eliminated in the first stage, making the square a lot empty all of a sudden.
After the end of the first stage, it was very humane that all the remaining alchemists had two hours to recover their cultivation. As soon as the two hours are over, the second phase will officially begin.
The pill required to be refined in the second stage is called Huoyun Dan, and it also only has two chances. However, the Fire Cloud Pill was an extremely difficult pill to refine, and even those senior handsome alchemists did not dare to say that they would definitely be able to refine the Fire Cloud Pill in two times. After seeing the Danfang, many people began to scold their mothers in their hearts, for some reason, this year's alchemy competition is very difficult, and it is also very strange.
Chu Yulong originally thought that his alchemy competition was about to end in this round, after all, generally speaking, the pills required to be refined in the second round were all handsome-ranked, and he was still a little reluctant to refine handsome-rank pills. But the Fire Cloud Pill is different, after all, the Fire Cloud Pill is only a rank pill, and the certainty of Chu Yulong's refining is much greater. The last time he was refining the Fire Cloud Pill in the cave mansion in the concession of the Tongling Imperial City, he succeeded once in three times. With a little effort, two successes are not necessarily impossible.
Thinking in his heart, Chu Yulong started Wenyang's own Dan furnace again until it was slightly hot, and only then put the first medicinal herb into it. The purification of the first medicinal materials was all successful, but the purification of some medicinal materials was not perfect, relying on the feeling at this time, Chu Yulong purified the second medicinal materials in one breath and put them into the jade bottle.
