Chapter 25: Falling Short

Extracting a sufficient amount of Tiger Paw Herbal Liquid was only the first small step in refining Bigu Dan, and the next step was to condense the medicinal liquid of three different herbs.

After a short rest, Xiao Chen took out a saffron flower and held it in his hand, trying to use his spiritual sense to make a spiritual connection with the saffron.

As soon as his mind moved, the green dot hidden in his mind, like a small stream, formed a long turquoise line, which flowed out of the body through the meridians on his arm in an instant, and a green line was connected to the bright saffron that was invisible to the naked eye.

Suddenly, a bright red space appeared in Xiao Chen's mind, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, close in front of him, this time Xiao Chen had a deeper understanding of the internal space of medicinal materials.

Those flowing red lines should be the medicinal properties contained in saffron, and the nodes where they will eventually flow, that is, the place where saffron has the most medicinal properties, and other places can be ignored when calcination.

After a moment, Xiao Chen opened his eyes, relieved of this strange state, and once again established a spiritual connection with the medicinal herbs, Xiao Chen had a vague understanding of the green dot in his mind.

This green dot may be the substantial spiritual core formed after the spiritual awakening, but I don't know what kind of qualification the mung bean-sized spiritual core in my mind is among the alchemists.

Retracting his thoughts, Xiao Chen once again lucked the purple thunder, summoned the purple thunder true fire, and began to condense the medicinal liquid in the saffron, condensing fifty drops of the red medicinal liquid, and then condensed the medicinal liquids of star anise and spearmint respectively, which were also fifty drops.

Looking at the four small porcelain bottles on the table, Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, the first step of refining Bigu Dan was finally completed, and half of the vitality in his body had been consumed.

The second step, Ning Dan, requires a lot of vitality support, and if the vitality is insufficient, everything will be wasted, Xiao Chen had to temporarily give up the second step, and the cross-legged exercise began to slowly recover the consumed vitality.

Vitality!

At this moment, Xiao Chen's desire for vitality has become extremely realistic, if the vitality is sufficient, such trouble will not appear at all, this is only refining the most basic level elixir, if refining a high-grade elixir, without the support of spiritual energy, I am afraid that the first step will not be able to persist.

Half an hour later, Xiao Chen stopped cultivating, and the vitality in his body had reached its peak, which was enough to carry out the second step of this alchemy.

Picking up the Qinglong Medicine Ding, Xiao Chen summoned the Purple Thunder True Fire, and sent the flame burning on the palm of his hand into the fire entrance of the Qinglong Medicine Ding, the purple fire burned violently in the Ding, and Xiao Chen first put the Tiger Palm Herbal Liquid into it.

The viscous liquid medicine, under the calcination of the purple thunder true fire, kept churning, making a non-stop sound, a faint fragrance came out of the ding, and the time was silently calculated in his heart, and a minute later, Xiao Chen poured the second medicinal liquid into it.

Four minutes later, all the medicinal liquid in the four porcelain bottles had been poured in, Xiao Chen covered the lid of the tripod, and worked hard to burn the purple thunder true fire in the tripod.

The invisible line connected the purple thunder true fire in the ding, and the vitality in Xiao Chen's body continued to pass through this line and was transmitted to the purple thunder true fire in the ding.

This is the disadvantage of not having divine sense, if Xiao Chen cultivates the Purple Thunder Decisive to the second level and cultivates the divine sense, he can directly control the burning strength of the purple thunder true fire through the divine sense, and it is far from consuming so much vitality like now.

In the Qinglong Medicine Ding, the four-colored medicinal liquid kept tumbling, and finally slowly fused and entangled, forming a chaotic viscous liquid that kept spinning, and at this time, the medicinal fragrance in the room began to become more intense.

Xiao Chen, who had no divine sense, could not see the situation in the ding, and could only judge that the four medicinal liquids in the ding had been fused together through the aroma coming from the ding.

At this time, you can't calcinate it with a fierce fire, you have to follow the direction of the rotation of the medicinal liquid, control the purple thunder true fire to surround the medicinal liquid far away, rotate slowly around it, and the temperature of the flame will also drop.

The sweat on Xiao Chen's forehead kept coming out, this step consumed more vitality than the previous calcination liquid with fierce fire, and every time the flame rotated, Xiao Chen felt that the vitality in his body was greatly reduced. If you want to eat it, you will accidentally deplete your vitality, and everything will be wasted.

When the medicinal fragrance in the room changed again, Xiao Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, there was still about one layer of vitality left in his body, and the exhaustion of the vitality he was most worried about did not appear, this bit of vitality was enough to carry out the last step of this alchemy.

The chaotic medicinal liquid in the ding, at this time, under the slow calcination of the warm fire, has condensed into a rough ball-shaped danger, and the faint fragrance comes out through the dinglid, as long as the last step of plasticity is completed, this Bigu Dan is also completed.

Xiao Chen untied the lid of the tripod, a more intense aroma came to his nose, looking at the rough dan embryo in the ding, Xiao Chen was extremely relieved, the first time he refined the medicine, he could reach this point completely, and there was no big mistake in the middle, which was already very gratifying.

If the last step can also be perfectly successful, it will be even more satisfying, Xiao Chen's eyes became hot, but his mind was extremely calm, this last step is also the most important step, and there is no room for mistakes.

Controlling the purple thunder true fire to rise slowly, the rough pill embryo also rose into the air with the purple fire, Xiao Chen stretched out his right hand and the pill embryo slowly descended to the palm of his hand with the purple fire.

It's time to get in shape!

Concentrating on his qi, Xiao Chen's two brows furrowed fiercely, this is a situation that can only occur when the spirit is in a state of high concentration.

Whew!

The Dan embryo rotated rapidly in the flames, Xiao Chen's atmosphere did not dare to come out, the sweat on his forehead kept rising, the uneven Dan embryo began to slowly halo, and a trace of luster began to appear on the pill.

Until this time, this Bigu Pill could be regarded as a real pill, Xiao Chen's palm pressed down violently, put the pill back into the pill pod, and closed the lid to start the final heating.

At this moment, Xiao Chen's mind still didn't dare to relax, until the moment the pill was baked, it could not be regarded as a success, but there was no big risk at this time, as long as it was half a ring, a little warmer, this Bigu Dan would be completed.

"Second young master, the supper is ready, do you want to eat?"

Bang!

At this moment, Bao'er's sudden voice made Xiao Chen's concentration a little disordered, and at the moment of distraction, the flames in the ding were not well controlled, and the pill that was about to be completed was broken into pieces.

The other dragon head of the Qinglong Medicine Ding slowly flowed out a residue of the elixir......

"I'm rubbing, what are you doing at this time!" Xiao Chen shouted angrily at Bao'er who appeared outside the door.

After a lot of hard work, it finally came to the last moment of the formation of this elixir, and it was ruined like this, Xiao Chen's mood was extremely bad, and the sweat and resentful expression on his head made Xiao Chen's expression look extremely terrifying.

Bao'er outside the door, looking at Xiao Chen who was yelling at her, glanced at the situation on the table again, and knew that she had caused a big disaster, her little face was extremely pale with fright, and her hands trembled with supper.

The tears in his eyes flowed out of anger, and he said in fear: "Second young master, I'm ...... I didn't mean to......"

Xiao Chen, whose vitality in his body was exhausted and his mind was extremely weak, waved his hand a little impatiently, "You go out, there's nothing for you here." ”

......

After a long time, Xiao Chen, who had recovered some physical strength, regretted in his heart, what happened to me, the refining of an elixir failed, and he lost his temper with a little girl so much, did he really think he was a young master?

With such a little strength and status, my temper is so big, so what's the difference between me and those gentlemen of the Zhang family, it's just a failure to refine an elixir, the first time it is not successful, it can be carried out the second time, what is it to sprinkle the qi on a little girl.

The more Xiao Chen thought about it, the more he felt that he had done something wrong, and got up and walked towards the room where Bao'er was, the light in Bao'er's room had not been extinguished, and Xiao Chen, who was standing in front of the door, could hear the faint sobbing sound coming from inside.

Chirping!

Gently pushed the door, maybe it was in a hurry to come back, the door of Bao'er's room was not bolted, so it was gently pushed open.

Bao'er, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, looked at Xiao Chen, who pushed the door in, quickly wiped the tears in her eyes a few times, and said with some trembling: "Second young master...... Why are you here, just now I ...... I really didn't mean to. ”

Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, such a simple little wolf, you scared others like this, it's really not a thing, Xiao Chen scolded himself in his heart.

On the way, I thought about apologizing, but I was embarrassed to say it at this time, Xiao Chen looked at the supper on the table, a bowl of squid porridge, and said, "Eh, I'm here to eat supper, by the way, take a look at you." ”

After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he picked up the squid porridge on the table, drank and ate it, it tasted good, usually the kitchen will not serve supper at this time, it should be made by Bao'er herself.

"It's delicious, did you make it yourself?"

"Well, I'm very good at my craft, I learned it from my mother when I was a child. Boa whispered back.

Looking at Xiao Chen, who seemed to be drinking porridge quite happily, Bao'er asked cautiously, "Second Young Master, are you still angry with me?"

"Raw!"

Xiao Chen put the bowl heavily on the table, the expression on his face was extremely serious, and Bao'er began to pound and jump again.

"Hehe, hehe, I'm angry that you made too little squid porridge tonight, and punish you for making an extra bowl tomorrow. Xiao Chen suddenly smiled.

On Bao'er Pear Blossom's rainy face, she smiled happily and said in disbelief: "Really?"

Xiao Chen got up and walked over to Bao'er, wiped away the tears left on her face, and said very sincerely: "Really, the squid porridge you made is delicious, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you just now, don't think about it, sleep well." ”
