Chapter Seventy-One: Becoming the First Alchemist
After thinking about it, Mu Feng picked up the aura amplification card again, and then looked at the nearly 80 points of aura experience points on his account, and wondered whether to use it or not? This is a problem, usually if it is so entangled, it will definitely explode the task, but unfortunately now the task is stuck, after weighing it again and again, he simply put it away, now is not the time, he turned his head and threw the target on the furnace workshop again.
"That's right, Reiki Pill!" Mu Feng's target this time was Reiki Pill, he planned to refine the elixir by himself, the main materials of Reiki Pill were Tianling Grass and Que Stone Stems and Leaves, although they were more expensive, but these could be bought with federal coins in pharmacies, Mu Feng calculated the money in hand, and could barely buy three materials, and then took out the study scroll and the teacher's alchemy notes.
"It's time to study hard!" "Before, he opened it casually, and he didn't really calm down to practice, let alone go bankrupt to buy materials to practice, but now it seems that people are not ruthless or not, Mu Feng has made up his mind, and decisively used the learning scroll to get an hour's IQ increase.
It's magical, the moment he used the scroll, the yellowed paper in his hand turned into a streamer and disappeared into his brain, his eyes suddenly became much clearer, and a thirst for knowledge surged into his heart, Mu Feng quickly flipped through the notebook, at this time he already had an extraordinary memory, just hurriedly turned a few pages, but when he closed it, he could remember it completely, and even not a word.
Taking advantage of the miraculous effect of learning the scroll, Mu Feng specialized in the subsection of the refining of the Spiritual Qi Pill, from the refining techniques of medicinal materials, the proportions, and then to the flame control, the eyes simulated it in his mind for the first time after seeing it, over and over again, although there was no actual material, Mu Feng was able to simulate the picture of trying to make alchemy in his mind, and through repeated drills, the techniques were gradually familiarized.
"No, I have to go out" Mu Feng muttered to himself, then pushed the door and walked out, he was too anxious just now, only to remember that this scroll has a time limit, in case the time passes and IQ goes back, then he will not do it in vain, he has to hurry up and prepare medicinal materials.
"Mu Feng!" made up his mind, Mu Feng was about to go out, and before Xiaohu could react, he saw that the door was open, and there was no more Mu Feng at the door.
"What's going on here?" Xiaohu got up and closed the door, returning to his boredom.
Besides, Mu Feng, all the way away, it is even more dual-minded, here is still repeatedly deliberating on the steps and techniques of the note, but the feet are not idle, he has been to the back street of the academy before, the shops there are all chain chains, even this academy alone in the barren mountains and plains also has shops stationed, but every time the goods are loaded is longer than those stores in the town, but the aura pill is the most common pill, and the reserve of materials can still be relatively sufficient.
Sure enough, as Mu Feng thought, he only bought three materials after the bankruptcy, which was still a discount for soft grinding and hard foaming, and put on the paper packaging bag, Mu Feng rushed back in a hurry.
"Mu Feng, why are you back again" Xiaohu saw Mu Feng who hurried back again, put down his cultivation, he was also strange about Mu Feng's behavior, he wanted to ask about the situation, but Mu Feng pushed the door out of the room.
"Xiaohu, I have something urgent, let me use the room by myself, and I'll look for you in a while" The place where he lives is just a single room, Mu Feng needs to concentrate on studying the skills of alchemy, naturally he can't leave Xiaohu here, and besides, he has to take out the things in his alchemy furnace from the space, explain in vain, or clear the field to avoid trouble.
"Hey!" Xiaohu looked at the closed door in despair, falling into deep thought, Xiaohu was at a loss, but he also respected Mu Feng, thinking that Mu Feng must have something to do, so he didn't bother much.
Besides, Mu Feng, this will be frantically flipping through the teacher's notes, just those two or three pages, turning over and over, and taking out a few blank papers, summarizing the refining of the Aura Pill, the treatment of medicinal herbs, crushing, removing impurities, condensing and so on.
While watching, convinced that he had a clear chest, he took out the alchemy furnace, and began the first step to extract the solution of the stems and leaves of the Que Shi, in principle, it is simply heating and squeezing the juice, in order to keep the stems and leaves of the Que Shi in a semi-liquid state, according to its characteristics, it needs to be converted into a liquid state at a certain range of temperatures, simply this solution does not melt with water, he can add an appropriate amount of water to control the temperature in the furnace, so the most important thing for this extraction of the original solution is the control of temperature, after all, he has not been able to accurately rely on the aura to affect the trend and temperature of the flame, and now he is simply relying on foreign objects, which is also the best way to achieve the recommended method in the teacher's notes。
He is still very proficient in the basic process of alchemy, adding water to the pot, using a separate kitchen in the room, and using gas to make alchemy.
The temperature is between fifty and eighty, and Mu Feng's goal is to be within the safe range of the temperature downstream area, as soon as the temperature exceeds fifty, he will start adding water.
This process is simple and cumbersome, to be ready to control the temperature at any time, slow heating, cautious, Mu Feng did not put all the input at one time, only put a portion of the amount, fortunately the final result is satisfactory, after more than half an hour of back-and-forth, Mu Feng finally fished out the small spoonful of green solution he needed from a large pot of water.
Other things like Tianling grass and some auxiliary materials are much easier to deal with, that is, the fire heating purification to remove impurities, the solution of the stems and leaves of the stone is the last process, and then added when the medicinal properties are condensed, and under the action of high temperature, it will be instantly vaporized from the liquid state into it, this process needs to be used to form a barrier with spiritual energy to prevent the loss of medicinal effect, in addition, it is necessary to completely integrate different medicinal materials through secondary refining, lock the medicinal effect, and finally make the pills round one by one like rubbing the pills.
The process of alchemy is also a practice of aura control, because the herbs are rich in a large amount of heaven and earth aura, which will be released during the refining process, and the pill pharmacist needs to control these aura to continue to keep it in the medicinal materials and will not volatilize.
After refining the raw materials, it is the official alchemy, maintaining the strength of the flame, evaporating the water, a blue-black viscous liquid is gradually divided into two parts under the control of Mu Feng, according to his current level, he can refine two pieces of material if he wants to have one material, and the excess ones are gradually lost in the various processes of raw material purification, which is also a matter of no way, and these two are still the current theoretical data, and it is still unknown whether they can become a pill in the end.
With the help of the learning scroll, Mu Feng has simulated it a few times before, and this brain is running at a high speed, waiting to deal with the accidents that will happen at any time.
"Bang!" still didn't obey the heavens, accidentally blew up the furnace, the liquid in the furnace fire was scattered, the aura volatilized, and there was no power to return to the sky.
"What's wrong?" Mu Feng was puzzled, it was going well just now, why did he suddenly fry the pot. He stared at the discarded ichor in the Dan furnace, recalling all sorts of details.
After a long time, Mu Feng sighed: "Oops!, I'll go!" After cleaning the Dan furnace, pouring out the residue, and starting a new round of attempts.
In view of having a little experience, this time he processed all the materials first, but when he actually refined, he still divided it into two parts, one at a time, and the previous steps were the same, that is, on the eve of Cheng Dan, he no longer divided the spiritual liquid into two parts.
According to his guess, the previous failure may be because he subconsciously felt that he was only enough for two, so he divided it into two parts, but because he was also wrong in the control link, coupled with the effect of the Dan furnace improving efficiency by 30% at that time, the actual result had exceeded his expectations, the proportion was wrong, and the energy contained was too much, and the balance was broken.
This time he was divided into four parts, his hands were together, and he controlled the formation of two each, this kind of close-range control aura was extremely energy-consuming, and he hadn't seen Cheng Dan for a long time, Mu Feng faintly couldn't support it, and suddenly saw four rough balls gradually forming, and put together a lot of strength, and finally four round balls that were not too regular, glowing with lustre, lying in the alchemy furnace.
Turning off the fire, Mu Feng planned to have another pot, and after a short rest, he completed the second pot, which was also successful without danger, but his appearance was still unbearable.
"Eight" Mu Feng has already gained a lot, and successfully refined the Aura Pill, so he can enter the ranks of the first-order pill pharmacist, this kind of aura pill is to mark the identity of the first-order pill pharmacist, but Mu Feng went to the examination, and if he got the qualification, he could open and do business.
Mu Feng looked at the results in his hand with satisfaction, put it in a small bottle, and use it when he was cultivating, but he hadn't used the Aura Pill for a long time, and he rarely missed the box of high-grade goods that the teacher gave him, and the multiplied effect, and he still lingered.
"It's a pity to pour it, Mu Feng is holding the residual liquid that has just failed, this will dissipate a lot of the rich aura, it stands to reason that there is no Cheng Dan's medicinal liquid, and it contains a lot of energy, but it has not been processed by Cheng Dan, and the medicinal liquid in it still has some impurities, and it cannot be taken directly, but the ghost made the god send it, Mu Feng hooked his fingers, dug a mouthful, and sent it into his mouth.
"It tastes good" There is a hint of sweetness in the taste of Tianling grass, because it is not completely removed, and there is also a sweetness in the residual liquid, after Mu Feng eats it, he only feels a warm flow in the dantian, and there is no other experience.
"It's really useless" disgusted, but Mu Feng ate the residual liquid in one bite, and suddenly his body was hot, and his internal organs were lively.
"I'll go, it turns out that I have a lot of stamina" Mu Feng put away his things, sat down cross-legged, and ran the cultivation method of Lingdu, transforming the warmth in his stomach.
A few minutes later, Mu Feng took a long breath, looking at the 2 points of aura experience points that had risen, he didn't expect that those failed remnants would also help him advance, he just felt a pity at the time, plus he wanted to eat it.
Blessed by misfortune, Mu Feng once again experienced the feeling of aura rising upward, this long-lost speed.
Without further ado, Mu Feng threw another aura pill into his mouth, renewing the warm fluid feeling, and the rich aura catharsis was vented between the taste buds, I don't know if it was the effect of the alchemy furnace, his pill seemed to be a bit like the teacher's enhanced version of the aura pill, although it was not so domineering, but it was also much stronger than the quality he would receive from Wenlan Academy.
"It seems that I still really have the potential to become an alchemist, or I will work hard in the future and increase my dream, then, I will become the first alchemist" Although it is a joke, Mu Feng at this time doesn't know how far he can go on the road of alchemy, maybe the first alchemist is not just a dream...
A few hours passed in a flash, Mu Feng looked at the night outside the window, absorbed the last wisp of aura, stopped and stood up, moved his body, and checked his level by the way, the pill was eaten more, and the effect would be shallower and shallower, but Mu Feng ate two in a row, and still grew rapidly, and because he had not used the aura pill for a period of time, the aura absorbed this time seemed to be much more than usual, since he reunited the aura core, not only the cultivation has grown fast, but the aura value increased with the aura pill is also a lot, and the aura value is only 17 points away from the two and then he checks the aura value, and he can enter the next realm, and the ability is just around the corner。
