Volume 1 Prelude Chapter 29: Reasons for Failure
Chapter Twenty-Nine: Reasons for Failure
"Why did you still fail?!"
Xiang Yunsheng sat on the ground with a disgraced face, looking puzzled, obviously the pill was about to be successfully refined just now, why did it suddenly burst open?
He shook his head, looked at the smoke that was about to dissipate, and walked towards the furnace ding, at this time the furnace ding had fallen to the ground, the rotten pill rolled to the ground, and the tarnished pill also lost its medicinal power, just like an ordinary mud pill, it had no effect!
Xiang Yunsheng helped the furnace Ding up, picked up the pill, and looked at the crimson pill, he wondered in his heart which step he had made a mistake.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and the woman from before walked in, looking at Xiang Yunsheng's embarrassed appearance, she was very surprised, and asked, "Childe, are you injured?" Xiang Yunsheng shook his head and said, "I'm fine." The woman nodded, she glanced at the furnace, and after making sure that the furnace was okay, she exited the room.
Xiang Yunsheng looked at the pill, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he finally knew which step he had gone wrong, in the knowledge imparted by Dan Lao, there were questions about the size of spiritual power and fire infusion during refining, but he ignored this!
Alchemy is actually like cooking, you need to master the heat, and the heat needs to be appropriate, so that the dish can be done well, so as not to make the dish mushy, and the pasted dish is like a waste Dan, which loses its fragrance and tastes very poor, so it is the same as the waste Dan, without any value!
In the process of alchemy just now, he has been violently instilling spiritual power and flames into the furnace ding, and he didn't care about this step at all, in the process of pill condensation, spiritual power and flames should be moderately adjusted, not just instilled violently all the time, so that violent infusion will only lead to refining failure in the end, or even explosion!
And Xiang Yunsheng was very lucky just now, the furnace didn't explode, but there was a wave of qi because of the disorder of spiritual power, otherwise he would have been directly injured!
Shaking his head, Xiang Yunsheng said helplessly: "I'm really too careless." Looking at the furnace ding, Xiang Yunsheng threw away the waste pill in his hand and picked up a medicinal herb again, he needed to try to adjust his spiritual power and flame size, only with precise control could he refine a good pill!
Put all the medicinal materials into the furnace ding, Xiang Yunsheng exhaled lightly, and once again ran the spiritual power and flame to instill into the furnace ding, the furnace ding vibrated slightly, in which the spiritual power lingered, wrapped the medicinal materials, the flame burned, the temperature was raised, and the medicinal materials were slowly condensed, and the spiritual power was integrated into the medicinal materials, and these medicinal materials were slowly fused.
This time, Xiang Yunsheng watched intently, and from time to time he would adjust his infusion intensity and reduce the input of spiritual power and flames, in order to be able to refine the elixir smoothly.
Xiang Yunsheng's eyes stared closely at the medicinal materials in the furnace, watching the medicinal materials slowly merge, he took a deep breath, looking forward to it, hoping that he would be able to refine it successfully this time.
However, just when the pill was fused, the furnace shook, the pill still broke, the spiritual power scattered, and another shock wave rushed out, letting out a roar, causing Xiang Yunsheng to take a few steps back.
This time, because Xiang Yunsheng deliberately controlled it, the shock wave was not very big, and it just shook the furnace ding.
Looking at the pill that failed to be refined again in the furnace, Xiang Yunsheng shook his head and took out the pill in it, he looked at the pill and said: "Before, I violently instilled spiritual power and flames, and the pill not only condensed and formed, but also showed signs of success, this time I deliberately controlled and lowered the strength, but even the pill form was not completely condensed, it seems that I have to try again." ”
After speaking, he threw away the pill, put another medicinal herb in, and began to condense.
In this way, over and over again, after a long time, Xiang Yunsheng used up all the eight medicinal materials, but all the pills refined from these eight medicinal materials were waste pills, and there was a lot of movement, during which the woman came to see them twice!
The door was pushed open again, and the woman looked helplessly at Xiang Yunsheng, who looked pensive, and said, "Childe, you have already complained twice next door." Xiang Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." "He didn't mean it, but because he really couldn't control the strength, he exploded several times.
The woman shook her head helplessly and said, "I have already persuaded the old gentleman next door twice, if you make any more noise, I am afraid that he will come over and scold you directly!" The woman looked at Xiang Yunsheng and said, "The old gentleman next door is an alchemist at the peak level of Yunling, and he is also famous in the trading house, why don't I change a room for you?" ”
Xiang Yunsheng coughed, a little embarrassed, obviously, the woman knew that if he continued refining, there would definitely be an explosion, but she couldn't directly drive away the guests, so she had to propose to change the room.
Just when Xiang Yunsheng was thinking, a figure appeared outside the door, it was an old man in brown clothes, the old man had a solemn face, he looked like an old-fashioned old teacher, he looked at Xiang Yunsheng, and said lightly: "Boy, if you don't know how to do alchemy, you can observe it first, it's not good for you to get started directly!" ”
Xiang Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, arched his hand and asked, "How does the old gentleman know that I am the first time?" The old man snorted coldly and said, "What do you say? I'm next door to you, I've heard the ringing eight times, I'm here to quiet alchemy, not to hear the explosion! Xiang Yunsheng laughed dryly and said, "I don't plan to try it myself." ”
The old man snorted, looked at the woman and said, "You should retreat first." The woman bowed slightly, and exited the room.
The old man looked at Xiang Yunsheng and said, "Tell me about your steps in alchemy." Xiang Yunsheng nodded, and told the old man his steps, after hearing Xiang Yunsheng's words, the old man's face changed for a while, and he looked at Xiang Yunsheng as if he was mentally retarded and said, "Are you stupid?" ”
Xiang Yunsheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why did the old gentleman say this?" ”
The old man snorted coldly, pointed at him and said angrily: "Put all the medicinal materials in one go, you are also a talent, you refine the pill like this, how can you not refine the pill?!" "Xiang Yunsheng will be completely stunned, can't he put the medicinal materials in together? There is no explanation of this in the knowledge imparted by Danlao, right?
The old man said angrily: "Alchemy is like cooking, there is also a sequence of cooking, which one is fried first, which one is put later, and finally the seasoning, only in this way can you make delicious dishes; And if you put the medicinal herbs in one go, isn't it equivalent to mixing all the steps into one step and directly stewing it in a mess?! ”
"You are like this, how can you refine the elixir?!"
The old man looked like he hated iron but not steel, and snorted coldly: "It's really a loser, and he wasted eight medicinal herbs one after another!" ”
Xiang Yunsheng coughed and sneered, "I'm sorry." The old man said coldly: "It's not me who you're sorry for, it's these medicinal materials, it's a waste!" He looked at the waste pills on the ground, and a heartache flashed in his eyes, it was obvious that this old man was a persistent and obsessed person with alchemy!
Xiang Yunsheng thought for a while, and arched his hand towards the old man: "If the old gentleman doesn't mind, please also point out the juniors." The old man snorted coldly and said, "If I don't want to guide you, I'll leave directly, and will I come here?" He picked up the medicinal herbs on the table, and then his pupils shook, and he looked at Xiang Yunsheng and asked, "What kind of pill are you refining?" ”
Xiang Yunsheng said: "Chiyun Dan." "This kind of elixir, the old man naturally doesn't know.
"Chiyun Dan?" The old man was very puzzled, what kind of elixir was this, why had he never heard of it?
Xiang Yunsheng explained: "Chiyun Pill is an amplification pill that can temporarily improve the strength of a martial artist with minimal side effects, and compared to those amplification pills on the market now, it is extremely valuable!" After listening to Xiang Yunsheng's words, the old man was very shocked, looked at the medicinal materials in his hand, and immediately asked, "Really?" ”
Xiang Yunsheng nodded and said, "Naturally." The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at Xiang Yunsheng and said, "I will guide you to refine, if this elixir is really as magical as you say, I am willing to spend any price to obtain it!" Xiang Yunsheng smiled and said, "The old gentleman said that it is not available in the entire Shangyang Kingdom at present, I am afraid you can't afford to pay this price!" ”
The old man ignored Xiang Yunsheng's words, and he said, "Put the medicinal materials in, I will guide you to refine them first, and after verifying the elixir, I will talk about the price!" After speaking, he threw the medicinal herbs to Xiang Yunsheng.
"Put the first herb first."
"Oh, good."
