Chapter 117: The Forgetful Alchemist

What he didn't expect was that Mu Zilei's first class in the new semester turned out to be a new course called "Introductory Guide to Beginner Alchemy". At first, he was full of anticipation, but after taking the first class, he found that the alchemy class turned out to be a nightmare. The host of this course is Mr. Sun Simiao Sun. He was a very forgetful teacher, which made Mu Zilei suffer from his first class.

As soon as he entered the class, he began to burn a fire on the alchemy pod that had been set up in advance, and then he flipped through his textbook and muttered, "What a forgetfulness, I brought the wrong textbook again." Then he began to talk about his lesson:

"Why do you want to learn the subject of alchemy? Alchemist is one of the six main industries on the Atlas continent, and it is widely popular because it can refine a variety of pills with different medicinal effects, and it is one of the most appealing professions. The grade of the alchemist is certified and assessed by the Pharmaceutical Association, from low to high, divided into one product to nine products, each product is divided into two levels, the genuine product is high, and the corresponding refined pill grade from low to high is: Lower Dan, Middle Dan, Shang Dan, Jin Dan, Bao Dan, Xuan Dan, Void Dan, Holy Dan and Shen Dan, each level is divided into mortal and spiritual levels, and the spiritual level is high. ”

He walked around the pod and walked up to the students and continued:

"Since most of these pills are used to assist in improving spiritual power, we also call it a spirit pill, and because they are all swallowed, we also call it an inner pill, which is relatively known as the 'outer pill', and the soul craftsman needs to refine the 'soul bead' outside the body. Suppose an alchemist successfully refines the Spirit Rank Middle Pill, then his alchemist level is a second-grade alchemist, and if another alchemist can refine a mortal-rank Golden Pill, then he is a fourth-grade alchemist, just like me. He pointed to the pattern of a pill and a medicine pod embroidered on the chest of his clothes, and there was a horizontal line under the pattern, "This is the logo of the alchemist from the four grades, each product is represented by the elixir pattern, and every third product is represented by the pattern of the medicine pod, if it is a subordinate product, there is a horizontal line under the pattern, and vice versa." ”

He gushed endlessly, completely forgetting the empty tripod that had burned just now, and a few classmates looked at the gradually warming medicine tripod and swallowed nervously.

"On the Atlas Continent, there are countless raw materials that can be used to refine pills, as far as the herbs, which are one of the main materials of the pills, are concerned, according to the "Compendium of Pills", which is regarded as a holy text by the refining world, there are no less than 3,000 kinds of herbs that can be used to refine pills. There are all kinds of strange ingredients such as cold water stones, and if you want to configure pills with different effects, you must correctly screen them out from these countless materials, otherwise, if you put them together randomly, it is a trivial matter to destroy the pills, and if the explosion furnace explodes, then you may even lose your life at any time. In addition, in the process of alchemy, as little as the cut of the material or the size of the grinding powder, as much as the proportion of the material, the order of addition and release, the control of the flame, etc., all of these require countless experimental practices before it can be successful, so as to become an effective prescription......"

The medicine pod behind the teacher was now burned red, and through the heat wave emitted by the pod, it seemed to shake slightly unrealistically. The whole class began to sneak back in fear. Mu Zilei, who was sitting in the front row, nervously looked at the medicine pod behind him, which was already burning to the point of exploding, and hurriedly gestured to remind him.

The teacher finally reacted, hurriedly turned around and waved his hand with a glow, and the fire was extinguished. He smiled slightly:

"Fortunately, this classmate reminded me, otherwise it would have been 'fried in the oven'. This classmate is so clever, so come up to help me complete the demonstration of refining the elixir. ”

Mu Zilei walked up a little frightened, and the other classmates were snickering behind him, among which Shi Chisha laughed the most.

"That chubby classmate, seeing that you are smiling so happily, you should also come up and help be my assistant. ”

Shi Chisha couldn't laugh when he heard it, and he moved up slowly and unhappily.

"What's your name?" he asked Mu Zilei on his right hand and Shi Chisha on his left

"Mu Zilei"

"Stone Akasha"

"Okay, the pill we are refining now is a ready-made prescription recorded in the "Compendium of Pills", which is a very common lower pill, called Jujing Pill, which has a trace effect on restoring physical strength and refreshing the mind. He paused, then said to his two assistants, "Tell me your respective names?"

"Mu Zilei. Mu Zilei was stunned and said.

"Stone Akasha. Shi Chisha looked stunned.

"Okay, let's get started. He put a few strains of Yindan grass that exuded a refreshing aroma into the medicine pod, and said, "Although the concentrated essence pill refined this time is not difficult, the steps are cumbersome, and the most important thing is to remember the surname, and remember the steps of the ingredients to be placed, otherwise it may cause a 'fryer'!"

"Teacher, you just said that the most important thing is to remember the surname and the steps?" Mu Zilei has already begun to have ominous signs.

"yes, you can't go wrong. He said solemnly," Due to the alchemy process, often because of the wrong step gathering, or the wrong materials, or the firepower is not good, or the prescription is wrong, or other unexpected circumstances, it is easy to lead to the failure of alchemy, and even cause a blast or a larger explosion, the explosion generally occurs in the final stage of the condensation, fortunately, this stage generally does not need more work by the alchemist, the alchemist can leave the medicine tripod, let the elixir condense on its own, at this time, we in order to prevent the explosion caused by the failure of the condensation pill and hurt ourselves, but in order to be able to observe the latest situation of the elixir in order to be able to do it in time, we need to use this small three-mile mirror。 ”

He raised the three-mile mirror in his hand to show it to everyone, the more Mu Zilei listened, the more frightened he became, and Shi Chisha on the other side couldn't help but move his feet outward a little.

"The reason why our alchemy laboratory is the largest and longest in the whole academy is that it is very important to leave a safe distance for alchemy in order to reduce the damage. However, this distance is only effective for pills under the Bao Dan level, like Xuandan or even higher grade pills, if the refining fails, the explosion range caused will be far less than this distance. The largest explosion incident that has ever occurred in history is the experimental formula of a nine-rank alchemist refining the spirit level divine pill, the scope of the divine pill refining failure explosion is centered on the medicine tripod, forming a radius of more than 1,100 meters, that is, a circle with a diameter of more than 2,200 meters, which is enough to destroy half of the town, and the outstanding alchemist directly exploded to ashes even if he had a spiritual energy protection body. It can be seen that before the refiner invented the three-mile mirror, the alchemist can be said to be one of the riskiest professions, from the perspective of a lifetime, two out of ten alchemists were killed and four were disabled, and the casualty rate can be described as shocking. ”

Hearing this, Mu Zilei began to break out in a cold sweat, and Shi Chisha's legs were a little weak.

Therefore, for alchemists, the prescription of successful experiments is their lifeblood, and some rare prescriptions with miraculous effects make many alchemists cherish them, and they would rather take the prescription with them and bury them in the ground for a long time, rather than easily make it public. Okay, now let's take out the three-mile mirror. The three-mile mirror, as the name suggests, uses it to see objects clearly within three miles, that is, 1,500 meters, which means that even if you refine the Divine Pill, you can observe it from 1,500 meters away with the three-mile mirror. Even if you fail to explode, because you are outside the explosion range, you can keep yourself safe. Now, for everyone's safety, and at the same time to familiarize yourself with the use of the three-mile mirror, please retreat to a place fifty meters behind the class and use the three-mile mirror to watch the process of our alchemy. ”

After everyone did what he said, he said to Mu Zilei on his right:

"Classmate, what's your name? ”

"Mu Zilei. Mu Zilei was stunned again, he already had a helpless expression of resignation.

"Good!" he threw a piece of black charcoal into the red-hot potter after finishing the herbs, and said to Shi Chisha on his left:

"Classmate Mu Zilei, let's start now, please pour the yellowish, smelly powder over there into the medicine pod. ”

The real Mu Zilei on the right hand side had already begun to be a little scared and unsteady, and Shi Chisha poured the powder into it with his trembling hand.

After pouring the light yellow powder into it, the teacher asked Mu Zilei to pour the white crystal-like powder into it in one go. (To be continued.) )
