Chapter 182: Yunzi

There is no record in the ancient method that these two materials can be alchemy, Wang Hao likes to try to refine different things into Dan, although there are many failures, and even refining amber kind of freak, but he is still happy to do it, but he does not know that tireless exploration is the most precious quality of alchemists.

After getting the snow lotus, Wang Hao claimed that he would retreat for a period of time, and hurriedly returned to Caolu with Xingyu.

The Ice Origin released Bai Sensen's light, and a trace of terrifying cold air emerged, last time it was only a layer of white frost, but now it has frozen the entire Dan Furnace, and the fat bullet finger summoned an inky flame, devouring the Dan Furnace in an instant.

"Chaos Fire!" Xingyu screamed, but startled the attentive fat man. There are very few times when the fat man is alchemy, and she is allowed to watch and learn, but when the fat man was learning art, he didn't have this treatment, and the fat man still doesn't know what the origin of the Dan King is.

"What are you doing in a fright? The only way to refine the Ice Origin is to use the Fire of Chaos, otherwise the energy of fire and water will consume each other, go out and make me a cup of tea. Also, in the future, you are not allowed to wear red clothes to come out at night, and in the middle of the night, I thought that the ghost came out to ask for his life. "Just like Xingyu is used to taking care of fat people, fat people are also used to being taken care of by Xingyu.

Chaos Fire, Alchemy, how to see Xingyu let go of the opportunity, Suo took out the tea set from the bracelet, and boiled tea on the spot.

The process of unfreezing was unusually slow, and in the early morning of the next day, the ice was slightly loosened, from a single piece of ice to countless tiny stubbles, white and shiny like snowflakes, which were a sign of melting.

Xingyu hurriedly woke up the sleeping master.

Wang Hao glanced at it with sleepy eyes, and said: "This is called fast melting, early, there is no time of three or five days, don't expect the Dan furnace to be unfrozen." When teaching his apprentice, the fat man was also secretly frightened, and he couldn't imagine that the energy of the Ice Origin was so terrifying.

"Three, five days?" Xingyu couldn't believe it, it seemed that it could be done in a matter of moments with cremation ice, not to mention that the master still used the fire of chaos.

Wang Hao glared at her. "Is three, five days a long time? The crystals in the Dan furnace are the origin accumulated by the King of Ice after six thousand years, and now it is only for the Dan furnace to thaw, and I don't know how long it will take to refine the origin, maybe it will not be enough for three years, you don't even have this patience How to learn alchemy? ”

"It takes a long time to refine the origin of the ice, can the master teach me to learn alchemy first?" Xingyu obediently handed the tea to the fat man.

Wang Hao tasted it and said, "Last time, you ruined so many other people's materials, don't you think it's enjoyable?" I don't have any treasure for you to squander, so I'll wait until the next time someone comes to ask Dan. ”

Xingyu blushed a little and explained, "Can the master teach me some tricks first, I can practice with cheap things first, and besides, other people's materials can't be wasted casually." Do you say yes? ”

Wang Hao nodded. "You're teaching me a lesson, saying that I'm wasting other people's materials, and if you succeed in refining, you won't waste it, my master hasn't taught me the trick, and I don't have the trick to teach you, but you have to find cheap materials, there are some agate stones, amber or something in my room, you can see what can be refined, I hope you didn't throw it away when you cleaned up the room."

The material was packed in a yellow paper bag and thrown at the back of the Dan furnace, and Xingyu, who was already knowledgeable and an authentic Yunnan person, immediately recognized that it was the material for refining Yunzi.

Wang Hao glanced at the yellow paper bag and said affirmatively: "That's right." It's the material for refining Yunzi, but there is not much left, I suggest you refine them one by one. ”

"Can I stay here and refine Yunzi?" Xingyu set his eyes on the Dan furnace in the corner.

"Well, where do you want to go?" Wang Hao pretended to be absent-minded. Xingyu stayed here to refine Yunzi, just enough to facilitate him to observe and find problems, but he didn't want to correct it, it seems that the fat man is not so kind, even if he corrects it, he will have to wait until she touches her nose and swollen eyes, so that the impression will be deep.

The refining process of Yunzi is not complicated, and it is not as particular as Danyin, but it is worth noting the amount of ingredients, the order in which the ingredients are put in, and the grasp of the heat, in addition, the temperature control of the idea should also be carefully controlled. If anything goes wrong, it will fall short. Khan, it's not complicated.

Appreciating the starry language's flawed work, Wang Hao could hardly imagine what freaks she would refine, but it didn't matter, when the fat man was refining Yunzi, he couldn't wait to swallow all those waste products.

However, Xingyu's movements are elegant, only one chess piece is refined at a time, and the few materials put in are pitiful, and under the urging of the Xuanyin fire, it dissolves into a small drop of liquid in an instant, and rolls in the Dan furnace non-stop.

After a while, waiting for the material to be fully dissolved evenly, Xingyu carefully picked up the liquid with the true element, and tapped it onto the iron plate prepared in advance.

When Yunzi cooled down, Xingyu showed it to Master for inspection.

"Master."

Staring at the rolling liquid, Wang Hao's thoughts had long since drifted back to the past, but at this moment, he was suddenly called by her, and couldn't help but be startled, and said angrily: "What are you doing with me?" You don't have long eyes yourself, the Go pieces are only black and white, you refine a yellow one, and prepare three people to play, right? ”

"I know." Xingyu silently returned to the corner of the house, this time she did not rush to do it, but considered what the problem was.

Then there is repeated experiments, constantly adjust the proportion of materials, but the results are not satisfactory, a small pile of waste soon appeared on the ground, the fat man's eyes showed a smile, the method is to find the right, but unfortunately to accurately control the proportion of various materials, do not think about three years of hard work.

Controlling the proportion and amount of materials is the most basic kung fu in alchemy, just like practicing medicine, the same kind of herb, the amount is less, it cannot cure the disease, and the weight is heavy and can eat the dead. Compared with the grasping medicine of traditional Chinese medicine, the requirements of alchemy are more stringent, and in the eyes of an excellent alchemist, there are no two identical ginseng trees in the world, and no two crystals with equal energy. There must be a lot of materials brought by the people who seek pills, and the common method is to discard the excess materials, if the alchemist is skillful, it will be easy to make some savings from them. However, if you don't grasp the amount well, the result will be the same as Xingyu's now, not only don't you want to get oil and water, but you will also mess up other people's Dan.

Refining Yunzi is only a foundation, in order to cultivate a feeling, the quality and composition of each material are different, there is no way to quantify it specifically, only through continuous experimentation can we know it in our hearts. At that time, it was not agate and amber that were smashed in, but natural treasures.

After three days of continuous exploration, Xingyu finally refined a crystal white cloud, warm as mutton fat, with a touch of tender green in the soft white, which gave people a pleasing feeling at a glance.

Finally got a little bit of meaning, Wang Hao tried hard to keep his face stiff, and said coldly: "Take it to me." ”

The clouds still have a faint temperature, because they have not yet been polished and delighted, and they are a little dazzling, but they are more delicate and soft.

Wang Hao first sighed to Yunzi, rubbed his clothes a few times, and then shone on the fire of the Dan furnace, and finally said, "Come and take a look yourself." ”

Xingyu leaned over as he spoke, and in the light of the fire, he could clearly see that the inside of the cloud was cloudy, and it was not transparent enough. "It doesn't look bad on the outside, but it's a muddy mess on the inside, do you know what it means to be golden and jade, and it's ruined? It's just right to describe the clouds you've refined. As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Hao threw Yunzi into the fire and never looked at it again.

"The internal turbidity is not sufficiently dissolved, but if the smelting time is too long, the material will deteriorate, and the clouds will be even more ugly." Xingyu obviously went through countless attempts to discover this dilemma, in fact, if Wang Haoken had demonstrated it with his own hands, as he had done in the Nanhai faction, all the secrets would not exist. It's a pity that Wang Hao will never do that, the technique and weight of refining Yunzi can be demonstrated, but what about other materials, alchemists must master their own ability to solve problems.

The fat man just looked at the furnace fire indifferently, after three nights of smelting, the ice on the surface of the Dan furnace has basically faded, but the ice origin has no signs of melting, the small ice origin is like a grain of sand precipitated at the bottom of the Dan furnace, still releasing a breathtaking cold, the strange thing is that the fat man did not urge the chaotic fire, but did not hurry to refine it with a simmer, the flame is smooth and soft, it is just right to praise the soup, is he not in a hurry at all?

Following his gaze, Xingyu also stared at the inky flames in a daze, and after a moment, a smile suddenly bloomed on her charming pretty face. "Thank you, Master, for the prompt, I know what to do."

It didn't take long to melt the Ice Origin, and the fat man deliberately controlled the fire of the Chaos Fire, just to let the Ice Origin be evenly heated, so as to ensure that the Ice Origin would not be damaged during the refining process, and the same was true for refining Yunzi.

Depend on! When did I prompt you. Wang Hao originally planned to let her touch the nail a few more times, but he scratched his head depressedly at the moment.

The truth is simple, but it is not easy to implement, controlling the fire is a test of kung fu, not to mention how far to control the flame? These are through repeated practice, groping can gradually form an understanding, qualified alchemists have cognition and feeling of materials, take the current fat man as an example, just bring him a material, he can also deduce what kind of heat to use by feeling, and the relative proportion of another material, but this feeling has no way to teach, can only be smashed out with countless materials.

Half a month later, the Ice Origin spit out a cloud of cold mist, shrouded around the Dan furnace, refused to dissipate for a long time, and looked white, and the furnace wall was once again covered with fine Xiaoice crystals.

Wang Hao smiled, but it was a bitter smile, the origin of six thousand years of savings is really stubborn enough, according to the current progress, don't think about marrying Dan in three years or two years. The fat man still hasn't adjusted the flame, and many things are in a hurry, and it's fate.

In addition to continuing to refine Yunzi, Xingyu also has to find time to practice every day, Rao is like this, most of the agate and amber in the yellow paper bag are also used, and the refined Yunzi is almost perfect, but she no longer takes it to the fat man to check, but filters it herself first, unless it is perfect, she will never take it out to show ugliness, she will not give the fat man a chance to scold again.

Looking at the apprentices who were busy on the side, not knowing the so-called apprentices, Wang Hao finally lost his patience. After all, the alchemist is not a craftsman of Dianyunzi, and he is almost fine. Even if you can refine the best Yunzi, it doesn't mean that you have learned alchemy, Dianyunzi is just a means of cultivation, not an end, Xingyu is obviously addicted to it, putting the cart before the horse. What is frustrating is that Xingyu's talent in fire resistance and alchemy is obviously not as good as that of his master, and it seems that the fat man graduated in only one week.

It happened that Xingyu turned into a cloud, Wang Hao frowned and said, "Take it and show it to me!" ”

Xingyu sighed, and then presented the lit cloud to the master.

Warm and moist as mutton fat jade, the light reveals a slight yellow, while watching, a trace of warmth seeps into the fingertips, it is already a superior cloud. Wang Hao nodded and said that he had passed, in fact, the Yunzi he had refined at the beginning had not yet reached this level.

Xingyu finally showed a knowing smile, because of her talent, she learned everything faster than others, especially the comprehension of the formation, even Chen Xuan was amazed, however, she had never been praised by the fat man. Stupid, inferior, idiot, has almost become the master's mantra, seeing the fat man scolding so cool, her heart is inevitably aggrieved, you know, the fat man is not only her master, but also the man she likes, so she did her best to try to refine the little Yunzi to perfection, she wants to prove to the fat man that she is not stupid, obviously, her efforts have paid off, but if the master is a little dissatisfied, he will definitely not leave his mouth, and now the master didn't say anything, so he put Yunzi on the coffee table.

But why did the fat man keep silent, as an apprentice, Xingyu could only ask in a low voice: "Master, I passed the test, right?" ”

Wang Hao picked up the teacup and took a sip, and asked rhetorically, "What pass?" How to play refining a cloud? You played Go so well, Chen Xuan was won by you, you should know how many moves you have. Right? ”

Xingyu was a little disappointed and said, "I know what to do, but the materials don't seem to be enough, otherwise I'll go down the mountain to buy some first?" ”

"No, it's enough to tear them down." Wang Hao pointed to the waste products all over the ground. "That's more than three hundred and sixty. Wouldn't it be funny if you couldn't dismantle the Dan you had refined? ”

Xingyu confessed, returned to the corner, and lit one in a moment, and was about to refine the next one, but was stopped by the fat man.

"Show it to me again."

It is also moisturized with clotted fat, revealing light yellow in the soft white, which is even better than the previous one, but the fat man shook his head and comforted him earnestly: "It seems that you still have a long way to go before you pass the test." ”

"What's wrong with this cloud?" Xingyu asked puzzled, it was softer than the previous one, because the craftsmanship was constantly becoming more and more sophisticated.

Wang Hao didn't answer her, but put the clouds in his hand on the coffee table, the color and luster of the two clouds were slightly different.

"Have you ever seen a colorful set of chess pieces?" The fat man smiled evilly, looking like a devil, it turned out that he had already calculated it.

"How is it possible to refine all three hundred and sixty chess pieces into the same color?" The color and luster of the cloud depend on the proportion of the material, the control of the heat, including the temperature of the pip. Therefore, it is almost impossible to order two identical chess pieces, let alone three hundred and sixty, unless they are refined in the same furnace, but Wang Hao obviously does not allow her to do that.

"Have you ever seen a deck of Go, with three hundred and sixty pieces, each of which is a different color?" In the blink of an eye, Wang Hao returned to a serious face, grabbed the first cloud and held it in his hand, and a terrifying ink-colored flame came out between his fingers.

Oh, my God! Wang Hao can refine it in the palm of his hand. With this hand alone, Xingyu can be convinced.

"Boom!" The hot liquid dripped on the coffee table, no matter the color, luster, and shape, it was no different from the cloud next to it. It is true that there are no two identical clouds in the world, but if these two chess pieces are mixed together, Xingyu will definitely not be able to distinguish which one is refined by himself and which is refined by the master.

A small cloud can see that the attainments of the two are very different.

"Only five kinds of materials are used to refine a Yunzi, and the quality of the materials is the same, if you can't even control the proportion like this, if I give you a thousand-year-old ginseng and a thousand-year-old spare, do you think you have the ability to refine Guiyuan Dan?" The same thousand-year-old ginseng, there is also a difference between the early 1,000-year-old and the 1,800-year-old ginseng, how big is the difference between them, do you know it? The layman only knows that the spar is divided into single color and colorful, and the single color is divided into upper, middle, lower, and three grades. But as an alchemist, you should know the energy contained in each crystal, so that you can deduce the age of the crystal's formation. Think about it, if I put on a different agate, would you still be able to refine the same quality of clouds? Alchemy certainly has a magical place, and it also follows the principle that practice makes perfect, to what extent it is called cooked, and how many materials to smash in to be cooked, it depends on the individual's comprehension ability, so no matter how much material we waste, it is not excessive. However, even if we don't care about the efforts of the seekers, we should cherish the treasures of heaven and earth, and you also want to graduate early, right? After teaching the apprentice, Wang Hao once again set his sights on the fire.

Xingyu realized, but she didn't dare to imagine the realm that the fat man said, and she didn't dare to think about what the fat man meant by waste, just the last time she smashed other people's materials, she still felt guilty.

Knowing these amazing insiders, even if someone is willing to contribute materials and let her smash them, she will be soft and dare not accept it.

Thankfully, so far she doesn't need to smash other people's materials. The refined Yunzi can also be dismantled and reused, and before the technique is skilled, she will not use the hard-won natural treasures to squander.

In the next few days, she worked harder to refine Yunzi, and also quietly bought back different agate and amber, just like the fat man said, after replacing a material, she needed a period of exploration to refine Yunzi with the same texture.

Xingyu's idea is naΓ―ve, no matter how well Yunzi is refined, if you don't smash into a few thousand-year-old ginseng plants, you can't know what the weight of thousand-year-old ginseng is, and if you don't burn a few high-grade spars, don't want to know what the concepts of different grades of crystals are.

At the beginning, Wang Hao was reluctant to waste materials, it was precisely the people who asked for the pill that gave him the courage, and those people didn't ask whether it was the master or the apprentice who did the alchemy, and left after dropping the materials. Because the alchemists in the world only had the master and apprentice of the Cold Noodles Dan King, they had no choice.

Gradually, the fat man began to be fascinated by the feeling of a thousand gold, and he couldn't stop it, and when it came to it, he made more than a thousand gold.

Suddenly there was a sound of flames bursting outside the grass reed, and someone touched the formation set up by Xingyu, Wang Hao couldn't help frowning, although the training Xingyu urgently needed materials, but at this moment, Wang Hao had no intention of helping others with alchemy.
