Chapter 13: Learning Alchemy

When Xu Yue said that he wanted to learn alchemy with him, he was very surprised, because Xu Yue was already 13 years old. Generally, when you reach the age of 8, you will test your spiritual power, and if you can become an alchemist, you will start learning at the age of 8, rather than at the age of Xu Yue. However, there are juniors in the Xu family who are willing to learn alchemy, and he is very happy in his heart, but he doesn't think Xu Yue will go far on this road now, after all, she is now 13 years old, of course, one more alchemist is useful to the Xu family even if the level is not high.

Therefore, although Xu Haozhe did not agree to teach Xu Yue, he gave her a basic book for learning alchemy, and she could go to the alchemy room to learn about medicinal herbs, even so Xu Yue was already very happy, she believed that she would soon become an alchemist.

Xu Yue practiced in the morning, went to the alchemy room in the afternoon to learn and understand herbs and see the process and techniques of Xu Haozhe's alchemy, and read basic alchemy books in the evening, so that after half a month, Xu Yue felt that he had a basic understanding of alchemy.

Xu Yue found Xu Haozhe and told him that he wanted to try refining a pill.

Xu Haozhe frowned and said, "Girl, you can't be radical in doing things, especially alchemy", the average student will spend 1~2 years to know the medicinal materials, be familiar with the medicinal properties, and observe the teacher's alchemy techniques and skills before starting alchemy. Although Xu Yue's memory may be faster and more accurate than that of a child, it will not be able to do it in half a month!

Xu Yue smiled at Xu Haozhe and said, "Grandpa Xie Zhe pointed out, I want to try it"

"Okay, since you insist, I won't be reluctant, there is a Dan furnace in the next room that I used to use, although the level is not high, but it is still okay to practice the grade below the 5th grade of the pill" Xu Haozhe took Xu Yue to the next room as he spoke. It's a basin-sized black Dan stove.

"Thank you, Grandpa Zhe," Xu Yue thanked him sincerely and bowed to him.

"Girl, there are not many high-grade herbs in the pharmacy, but there are a lot of first-level herbs, if you need them, you can go and get them" Xu Haozhe looked at Xu Yue and left the room.

Xu Yue took out the herbs in her Qiankun bag, and there were only all the herbs in it for refining a spiritual power pill, so she tried to refine the spiritual power pill for the first time.

After Xu Yue sorted the herbs into categories, he burned the Dan furnace with flint, and then put the herbs into the Dan furnace in order, and at the same time controlled the flames with spiritual power, alchemy was divided into 4 steps: medicine, dissolution, quenching, and Dancheng, quenching and Dancheng were the most complicated steps, and they would be scrapped if they were not careful.

Xu Yue focused on refining it at this time, she carefully controlled the fire, and saw that she was about to merge the Dan, and with a bang, black smoke came out of the Dan furnace. The first alchemy failed, Xu Yue was not discouraged, took out the remaining medicinal materials, and continued refining.

After an afternoon of refining, scrapped many times, and finally succeeded, taking out the 3 pills in the Dan furnace, Xu Yue was extremely excited, it seemed that he could really become an alchemist.

Xu Haozhe was shocked when he smelled the fragrance of medicine in the Dan room next door, and immediately ran to the Dan room next door, and when he saw the 3 pills that Xu Yue was still holding in his hand, he immediately snatched them over, looked at them again and again in surprise, and then asked, "Girl, this is what you refined?"

"Yes, Grandpa Zhe, a lot of medicinal materials have been scrapped!" Xu Yue said with pity.

Xu Haozhe looked at Xu Yue like a ghost, Xu Yue was a little embarrassed by her and asked, "What's wrong, Grandpa Zhe"

"You, you, you, you've actually succeeded in refining. Xu Haozhe never thought that Xu Yue would succeed in refining so quickly, and he didn't even have much hope for her.

"Hehe, thanks to Grandpa Zhe's teaching," Xu Yue touched her nose embarrassedly and smiled.
