Chapter 159, the elixir of the spirit
Mu Qianqian's forehead also showed a slight bead of sweat, but she still delicately controlled the fusion of the Dan furnace as a medicinal paste. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is the most critical step, in the alchemy experience of Chen Qi, the best way to deal with this step is to guide the energy generated by the fusion of medicinal materials through constant shaking, stirring and other means.
This is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to do, fortunately, the alchemy of the Wind Thunder Sect has a lot of experience in this step, and Mu Qianqian has also written down a lot.
Now she uses the stirring method, that is, using a glass rod with a pointed spoon to continuously mash the raised bubbles in the paste, and then guide the paste that has been "settled" into the mold in the furnace next to it, so that the paste can condense - after condensation, it is the pill.
This practice is very tested, in short, it is quick to be quick and bold. Because if you are not careful, if you fool together several drugs that are breaking out in the process of guidance, then the chain reaction is likely to explode.
Chen Qi was blown out again and again......
But Mu Qianqian's hands are very steady, quick and neat. There was a "crackling" explosion sound in the Dan furnace, every time it exploded, it was the result of Mu Qianqian's successful guidance, a small glass rod in her hand seemed to have magic power, and every time it could accurately break the bubbles that had just been generated, and then with a clever stroke, it would guide this piece of medicinal paste into the mold on the side of the Dan furnace.
In this way, the faint explosion in the Dan furnace first became louder and louder, dense like firecrackers, and finally slowly decreased, and then finally fell silent.
At this time, Mu Qianqian put the Dan furnace into a basin of cold water floating with ice cubes floating on the side - the note said that the last step of the medicinal paste condensation, preferably in semi-dissolved cold water, can retain better medicinal effects and condense into Dan.
After doing all this, Mu Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
Mu Qingqing and Chen Qingyan on the side finally let out a suppressed cheer, Mu Qianqian screamed: "Sister, you have succeeded!" "Wow! Sister, you are amazing! Your first alchemy was a one-time success!"
Chen Qingyan also praised: "Awesome! It's really amazing! I was dazzled by so many bubbles just now, but I didn't expect Sister Qianqian's hand speed to be so fast, it's really steady, accurate and ruthless!"
After Mu Qianqian wiped the sweat from her forehead, she breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's really hard to do, this is just a low-level pill, I really can't imagine how difficult those high-grade pills will be." Let's wait a little longer, I read the note that the condensation of the last step takes half a stick of incense, which takes about half an hour. And I don't know how many Cheng Dan will be in the end, it's still too early to cheer. ”
The last step of Ning Dan seems to be free of anyone to do anything, but in fact, it is because it has been done before.
The result of Cheng Dan depends on the reaction of the medicine in the paste when the paste is put into the mold, to put it bluntly, it is the amount of bubbles caused by the energy generated when the reaction of these dozen or so medicinal materials - after all, those big bubbles can be broken quickly, but there are many small bubbles that cannot be broken one by one. The accumulation of these small bubbles will affect the final yield of the pill, and if it exceeds a certain amount, it will become a "waste pill".
Therefore, even if it is a high-level alchemist, it is impossible to succeed in all the pills in one furnace, and it is normal to have two or three percent of the waste pills.
Chen Qi was speechless, he blew up the furnace so many times, Mu Qianqian was able to condense the pill for the first time, no matter how many Cheng Dan came out in the end, Mu Qianqian must have pressed him to death in terms of practicing medicine.
This made him very depressed.
Seeing Chen Qi's face collapsed, Mu Qianqian smiled, walked over and took his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't pull your face, I said before that this is not your strong point." Especially the last step, it feels like embroidery, you compare embroidery with me, I think you can't compare to me even when you reach the grandmaster. ”
Chen Qi smiled and said: "Indeed, I am really not good at this kind of meticulous work, I am not as careful as you, and I am always a little anxious." It seems that I really don't have the talent of an alchemist. ”
Chen Qingyan said with a smile on the side: "I guessed it, when I took the critical step just now, even I was dazzled." If it's my brother, he must not care about thirty-seven twenty-one, just stir and stir in the paste, and it would be strange if he didn't fry the oven!"
The three girls laughed together, Chen Qi grabbed her hair depressedly, the so-called brother Mo Ruomei, although what Chen Qingyan said was exaggerated, it was indeed the essence.
Mu Qianqian smiled for a while and said, "It seems that I will have to study how to make alchemy more in the future, maybe I can become a real alchemist?"
"Sister, haven't you already refined a furnace of elixir?
Mu Qianqian smiled, "Where is this? The refining of the Spirit Pill is not complicated, and anyone who is a little more careful can do it, even if the refining is successful, it is only just entering the level of an alchemy apprentice." I read a lot of pills recorded in my notes, and later on, they all needed to be controlled by mental power. It's like a real alchemist, you don't need to use a glass rod to deal with those bubbles just now, you can directly use your spiritual power to turn into thousands of millimillimeters, and you can break all the big and small bubbles in them, which is the level of an alchemist. ”
Chen Qingyan suddenly said, "In other words, at least you have to awaken before you can become a real alchemist?"
Mu Qianqian nodded, and then said with a smile: "Actually, I think alchemy is indeed quite interesting, and if I can become a real alchemist, then I can be regarded as having a skill, and I should work hard in this direction." ”
Chen Qi frowned and said, "But if this happens, will it affect your cultivation progress?"
Mu Qianqian smiled slightly and said, "I have average talent, more than the upper and lower than the inferior, no matter how hard I try, the gap between me and you will only get bigger and bigger." But if I can become a real alchemist, at least I can help you in the future with alchemy, without making me feel like a waste. ”
Chen Qida was moved, and took her in his arms, "Qianqian......"
Mu Qianqian leaned her head on his chest, with a happy face.
But on the side, Chen Qingyan and Mu Qingqing glanced at each other, and they both shuddered, and Chen Qingyan said unhappily: "Brother, sister, can you two consider the feelings of me and Qingqing, the two single dogs?"
There is no one who does not quarrel between brothers and sisters, Chen Qi pouted and said: "Unhappy? Find one if you are unhappy! Actually, I think the old white man is quite good, why don't I match you up?"
"Huh, just him?" Chen Qingyan raised her head proudly, like a proud little hen, "My future boyfriend, that must be better than you!"
"Me too!" Mu Qingqing made the same move.
"Hey!" Chen Qi glanced at them with pity and sighed: "Then you two will definitely not be able to marry in this life." ”
"Megalomaniacs!"
Chen Qi ignored her and communicated with Mengbai in the sea of knowledge: "Do you think it is feasible for Qianqian to be an alchemist?"
"Although I don't know how she will grow in the future, judging from her performance just now, this girl does have the potential to become an alchemist. Mengbai said: "However, the most important thing for an alchemist is spiritual cultivation, the stronger the spiritual perception, the more detailed the perception of the changes in the medicine, this needs to be seen later." But I think she said it right, the distance between her and you will only get bigger and bigger, becoming an alchemist can at least help you, you know, if you want to quickly improve your strength, you will definitely need a lot of resources in the future, and pills are naturally one of them. ”
"No way, who made you a waste of wood on the alchemy?"
In the sea of knowledge, Chen Qi summoned the Tibetan Blade......
Half an hour passed quickly, and Mu Qianqian opened the Dan furnace, and a strange fragrance hit her nose, so that several girls couldn't help but let out a "wow".
The finished elixir is cyan, round and flawless, as if it were glass beads.
Even if Chen Qi did not have the tools to detect the quality of the pills, he could still judge the grade of these pills by the naked eye - the darker the color, preferably as blue as ink, the higher the quality of the pills.
Mu Qianqian's furnace had refined a total of sixty-four pills—because there were only sixty-four pill molds on the pill furnace.
Among them, there are four extremely dark ones, which can be classified as a first grade, and there are fifteen of them that are slightly inferior, which are considered to be two grades, and then there are even inferior third-grade pills, with twenty-one. The rest did not even have the shape of the pill, only a mass of paste-like residue, which means that the energy in the paste did not diverge cleanly, and there was too much residue, which became a waste residue.
There are a total of sixty-four pills, and forty of them have been successful, and the success rate of more than sixty percent is not high, but given that Mu Qianqian is the first time to alchemy, this ratio is already amazing!
Mu Qianqian also breathed a sigh of relief, obviously she was still quite satisfied with this result.
Chen Qi's favorite thing is Mu Qianqian's point, she is very clear and realistic about her goals, she will not overestimate or look down on herself too much.
The next step is to test the effect of the elixir.
Without saying a word, Chen Qi took the lead in taking a one-piece Fixing Pill and threw it into his mouth.
The moment the pill entered the abdomen, it felt like the world was quiet.
This feeling is too familiar, and this is at least the effect that can only appear when the mental stability reaches more than 160 points.
One hundred and sixty mental stability was not a problem for Chen Qi, but it was too terrifying for a single pill to cause such an effect. However, it is also recorded in the notes that the medicinal effect of the elixir varies from person to person, and the higher the spiritual cultivation, the better the effect will be. And this effect does not mean that from now on the cultivation will have to take drugs, but it can make it easier for people to enter this quiet feeling, as for which step to go next, it still needs to be worn by water drops and slowly polished.
Because it is a test, Chen Qi has a mental stability meter at the head of the bed.
When she saw that the value on the measuring instrument jumped directly to 163, although she had been prepared, the third girl still let out a low exclamation.
After all, Mu Qianqian's current mental stability is still a little short of 180.
Chen Qi began to visualize, the value on the meter was getting higher and higher, first easily breaking through 200 points, then exceeding 240, and twenty minutes later, breaking the previous record of 258, until reaching the final 267, then stopped.
All three girls were stupid. (To be continued.) )
