Chapter Seventy-One: Trials of the Pill (Part II)
"Alchemy is not as simple as imagined, only one percent hope can succeed, the herbal medicine money plus the waste of time, you can almost buy a very good pill, these people really can't think of it, one by one they think how powerful they are, they don't understand anything and rush to alchemy. ”
"I've been here for almost nine years, and those who can refine the elixir are all rare water chestnuts, and these people who don't know the height of the sky are simply a waste of time. ”
Thinking of this, Deacon Li found a clean place to sit down, shook his head and took out a pot of old wine from his arms, took a few sips of "dong dong dong", leaned against a big tree, closed his eyes, and planned to take a nap.
After Mo Xuelian ran out of the alchemy cave, she squatted on the ground and kept coughing, snot and tears kept flowing down, her face was ugly and depressed, and she thought, "What kind of pill is this I practiced, how can it be like tear gas, and people can't stand it." ”
After she coughed for a while, she saw that the smoke in the alchemy cave was slowly dissipating, and Mo Xuelian dared to walk into the alchemy cave slowly, and walked to the copper tripod while fanning the smoke with her hand.
She covered her nose with her hands and endured the pungent smell, stepped her feet to look inside the big ding, only to see where there was the shadow of the pill inside, only a layer of pitch-black ash was left at the bottom of the copper tripod, and nothing else was seen.
Mo Xuelian was still mentally prepared at the beginning, although she hoped that the alchemy would succeed, but such a result was also expected by Mo Xuelian, she was a little disappointed, but she did not lose confidence, she planned to refine again.
Mo Xuelian plucked up her courage, she settled down, walked back to the flat open ground, picked up the same herbs as the last time she practiced the pill, and after closing the door of the alchemy cave again, she walked back to the side of Dading.
She cleaned up the discarded herbs in Dading again, and brushed the whole Dading, after Dading was cleaned, she put the herbs she had just taken into it, and after putting it away, Mo Xuelian pressed the close button on the wall of Dading again.
At this time, the lid of the big ding slowly re-covered the big ding, Mo Xuelian learned the lesson of the last alchemy, and didn't dare to use the fire, so she only pressed the switch to increase the fire.
She saw that there was only a little bit of blue flame in the earth fire, slowly scorching the big ding, and the copper ding also made a "crackling" sound from time to time, which was obviously the sound of the herbs calcining little by little in the big ding.
Mo Xuelian didn't dare to be half-hearted this time, she stared at the color change of Dading without blinking, Mo Xuelian recalled some descriptions of alchemy she saw in the library pavilion, she thought about it and finally thought of some more.
It says that if you want to refine a good potion of elixir, the control of the heat is very important, first you must refine it with a low fire for three days and three nights, then use medium heat to refine it for two days and two nights, and then use a high fire to refine it for one day and one night.
Mo Xuelian looked at the buttons on the wall, only to increase the firepower and decrease the firepower, Mo Xuelian walked back and forth in the alchemy cave, she kept thinking, she finally came to a conclusion, that is, the most important thing in alchemy is to master and control the fire, and there is also the time point to add additional herbs.
This is to rely on the experience of the alchemist, through the increase and decrease of the fire on the wall, to adjust the mastery and control of the middle fire, if the adjustment is not good, this pill is impossible to refine successfully, and there is the time point to add the herbs, it should be the best to add when the low fire turns to medium heat.
Mo Xuelian scratched her head, she had a headache and thought desperately, "This is my first alchemy, how can I master it so well?" “
She walked back and sat on the open ground, Mo Xuelian patiently waited for the three days and three nights of Dading's small fire refining to pass, during these three days, she only ate two meals a day, did not dare to slack off, staring at the flames of Dading.
After three days, just as she was about to turn to medium, she took the herbs again, walked to the wall of Dading, and pressed the button to open the lid nervously.
At this time, she smelled a very good aroma of herbs, which smelled better than any previous time after opening the lid, she was a little relieved, it was estimated that this small refining was successful, she carefully added the herbs in her hand, and pressed the lid button on the wall again, and the lid of Dading was closed again.
Then, the most important part came, she pressed the button to increase the fire a little nervously, and she stopped when she felt that it was almost in the middle of the fire, and she didn't continue to press it.
She let Dading roast for a long time, felt that the fire was a little fierce, and pressed the button to reduce the fire, just like that, she didn't eat anything in the past two days, and kept adjusting the fire control of the medium fire next to the Dading, and kept pressing to increase the fire and reduce the fire, and finally, she finally survived the two days and two nights of the medium fire.
After surviving these two days, she really put her mind at ease, and pressed the increased fire on the wall again, until the fire was very strong, she stopped, and then, just waiting for the day and night of the fire refining to pass, she could know the result of the alchemy.
At this time, she asked people to continue to bring her food, she felt that she had been hungry for the past two days, and when the door of the Alchemy Cave opened again, and when the disciple of the Hidden Immortal Sect brought her food, she immediately took the food box and devoured it, and the disciple of the Hidden Immortal Sect was almost frightened when she saw her appearance, and hurriedly retreated.
Mo Xuelian was like this, eating, observing the flames of Dading, repeatedly adjusting the firepower twice, after surviving a day and a night, finally on the sixth day, Mo Xuelian stood up exhausted and walked to the switch position of the wall, and pressed the switch to turn off the fire nervously, and she prayed in her heart to wait for the heat of Dading to slowly cool down.
Mo Xuelian waited for a long time, pacing back and forth, and when Dading finally cooled down, she immediately pressed the button to open the lid.
At this time, she saw more than a dozen pills condensed into a circle exuding a charming glow in the pitch-black Dading, Mo Xuelian excitedly took out the dozen pills, carefully observed them in her hand, she couldn't suppress her excitement, and shouted, "I finally succeeded, I finally succeeded." ”
After she was excited, she carefully put the dozen or so pills into a small bottle in the Qiankun bag sachet, and after putting them away, she carefully put them back into the Qiankun bag sachet and carefully preserved them.
Then, she walked out of the alchemy cave happily with a smile on her face, and walked briskly in front of Deacon Li, who was in charge of the grass furnace.
