Chapter 41: Healing Elixir
In the center of the venue, looking at the elixir on display in front of him, Qin Xiaofeng fell into deep thought.
In the second assessment, no pill was given, and the exam question was to use the given medicinal materials to refine a healing pill.
These officially provided medicinal materials were all considered, and Li Muchen and Lin Tianxu even asked an alchemy master to select them, so these medicinal materials seemed to be a lot of them, but they couldn't make up the materials needed for any kind of common healing pills, and even some of the similar medicinal properties were eliminated.
This is to test the alchemist's insight and reaction ability.
Each kind of Dan prescription is deduced by the predecessors, and it will not be static, due to the changes in the aura of heaven and earth, the extinction of the elixir, many Dan prescriptions have been modified, on the other hand, new prescriptions that are in line with the current environment are also emerging.
At the level of these contestants, it is naturally impossible to invent a pill on the spot, and the medicinal materials provided by the conference are just missing some key medicinal materials of the prescription, and they can still be refined by piecing them together, and the goal is only to refine a pill with a healing effect, and it is not necessary to refine a pill with a complete system.
In other words, find some medicinal materials with healing and detoxification abilities, as long as you don't put those medicinal properties together and refine them randomly, you can refine them, provided that you have to make sure that this pill is effective enough to help you advance.
The promotion condition is to use these medicinal materials within the specified time to refine the pill equivalent to the effect of the Rejuvenation Pill or the Antidote Pill, which is the most commonly used healing pill for cultivators in the Qi refining period, which is far more complicated than the three basic pills in the first round, with the level of these alchemists, they usually have to concentrate on refining this pill, which is considered to be in line with their cultivation.
This problem, Qin Xiaofeng can actually solve it easily, the medicinal materials required by the conventional Danfang are all defective, but some partial Danfang can still make up all the medicinal materials, and he happens to have one.
This is also the default way to clear customs, and there are many Danfangs who have seen and understood a lot, and it is also a reflection of the alchemist's ability. Only by being well-informed can an alchemist figure out the best way to use it from the limited elixir. Most of the alchemists in casual cultivation will only have one or two pills, no matter what their skills are, it is difficult to surpass those sect alchemists, there are thousands of pills in the cultivation realm, and there are pills of various effects, but there will only be one, and they cannot be called qualified alchemists at all.
For the disciples of the Changqing Sect Medicine Hall, in addition to the cultivation and skill requirements, there is also one more condition for becoming a teacher, and they must master the refining methods of twenty kinds of pills!
However, Qin Xiaofeng did not plan to use this to clear the customs.
I haven't encountered this kind of assessment before!
In the past, in the sect, there were a large number of Dan Fang for reference, Qin Xiaofeng really didn't encounter this situation, after all, with his current ability, he was not qualified to talk about creating a new Dan Fang, only after becoming an alchemy master, he could apply for the opportunity to study the new Dan Fang.
"This alchemy conference is still a little interesting!"
At the beginning, Qin Xiaofeng did not plan to participate in the alchemy conference, he himself was the alchemy genius cultivated by the sect, and he would not run over for the reward of the Yuhu District, in other aspects, the title of the so-called first place in the alchemy conference was of great significance to those ordinary medicine hall disciples, and it could attract the attention of the high-level, but for a genius like him, it did not have much practical significance, among the fellow disciples of the Changqing Sect, those who could compete with themselves did not bother to participate at all, and those wild alchemists outside, not to mention it. was dragged here by Li Muchen, just for the sake of the situation, anyway, there are some resources to take, it's not a waste of time, just go out to play!
Therefore, in the first round, he did not exert his all, even though the reward for the first place in the first round was converted into a thousand spirit stones. The main problem is that he really has no interest in refining the three basic pills, even so, he still won the first place, it seems that he only refined a few more than the second place, in fact, he only took half the time, if he gets serious, it can be faster, and it is possible to refine it three times.
Now, he's getting some interest.
"These two medicinal materials, refined and used together, can make up for the lack of the main drug of Baicaodan. Grass black leaves, bitter scutellaria, can make up for the lack of medicinal materials of the detoxification pill......"
Qin Xiaofeng had already memorized these elixirs, and with his experience, he quickly gathered some pills in his mind.
"It's not a good thing to know too much, I always unconsciously lean on those Dan Fang!"
Shaking his head, Qin Xiaofeng fell into deep thought, he didn't want to advance with this conventional method, it was not challenging at all.
"Bitter succulent, rootless vine, and green lotus fruit, these three elixirs have similar medicinal properties, you can give it a try!"
The time given in this round was enough to refine three times by himself, so Qin Xiaofeng didn't worry about making mistakes, thought about it for a while, selected some auxiliary medicines, and the first attempt was carried out quickly.
In terms of speed, Qin Xiaofeng is not the fastest one, and there are a few people who opened the furnace for alchemy earlier than him.
Unhurriedly controlling the Danhuo, Qin Xiaofeng still had the leisure to watch the situation of others. An alchemist in front of him, judging from his clothes, should be a person from a small sect, so he chose the medicinal materials to start alchemy, but the elixir he chose had some flaws, although he could refine the elixir, but the medicinal effect should not be strong, and it could not meet the promotion standard.
Time passed in a flash, and the first batch of people who came out of the pill soon appeared, and one of the only two remaining alchemists in the scattered cultivation was among them.
Scattered cultivation, there are few ways to collect medicinal materials, it is difficult to gather medicinal materials, sometimes it is necessary to reasonably adjust the Dan prescription and replace it with other medicinal materials, and this time, it is obvious that I have encountered the strengths of this casual cultivator.
What he chose was to use other elixirs in combination to make up for the missing medicinal materials of a pill, rather than Qin Xiaofeng trying according to his own understanding.
Soon, a disciple presented his elixir to the judges' table, and among them, there were several alchemists of the foundation building period of small forces, as well as an alchemy master invited by Lin Tianxu from the medicine hall.
"Thirty-seventh, Liu Yanlong, refining successfully!"
After the inspection of several judges, the first contestant to qualify was selected.
This round of assessment is not only about comparing speed, but also about the effect of pills, at this time, Liu Yanlong is not the first place.
However, Liu Yanlong was already very excited, at least after this time, his reputation spread, the alchemists in the scattered cultivation, it was quite difficult to collect medicinal materials, and in the end, almost all of them would choose to take refuge in a small sect, and with this merit, no matter what, the future cultivation would definitely be much more convenient.
Someone successfully cleared the customs, which made some people impatient, and Qin Xiaofeng was also a little regretful, and soon, his elixir was also cured.
"It's a pity. ”
Qin Xiaofeng sighed, the elixir he refined was good in terms of detoxification and healing ability, but it was not up to standard in every aspect, perhaps, it would be handed over to the jury and let him pass, but this was not the effect Qin Xiaofeng wanted.
Without handing over the pill for evaluation, and putting away the pill, Qin Xiaofeng started the second attempt.
He has a good mentality and is not in a hurry.
The second batch of people who successfully refined the pill was even more, this time, several disciples of the Changqing Sect were promoted, and another alchemist in the scattered cultivation did not pass the assessment and started over, among the subsidiary forces, two with strong alchemy inheritance, the Lin family of the Xiuzhen family and the Bihu faction, each had an alchemist who advanced, and Qin Xiaofeng was still studying the medicinal properties.
