Chapter 6 The Difficulty of Alchemy
In the red pot, silver-white flames reflected on the surrounding walls, fangs and claws like ghosts.
Ye Chen's face was serious, and he was still a little nervous in his heart......
There is no way, after all, it is the first time to test it by hand, even if he has mastered everything by heart, and there is an ancestor next to him to remind him at any time, but he will still be nervous when he should be nervous.
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time, familiarize yourself with this medicine tripod first......" Old Ancestor's gentle voice sounded in his ears, relieving the tension in Ye Chen's heart a lot.
Under Ye Chen's control, the flame rotated around the medicine tripod, evenly raising the temperature in the medicine tripod, and then suspended in the center of the medicine tripod, waiting for the medicinal materials to be put in.
For Ye Chen, who had a spark, this first step of refining medicine had a great advantage.
You must know that even at the level of a Dou Master, many people can't condense real fire out of thin air at all, and they need to rely on the special structure of the medicine tripod to generate flames with their own fighting energy......
Not to mention the temperature, this kind of fighting qi flame alone requires a large amount of fighting qi to be generated, and it is destined to consume a huge amount.
Seeing that Ye Chen had completed the preparations so easily, the Ye family ancestor nodded with satisfaction, and the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
"Control the flame so that its temperature does not change drastically, and gradually increase the temperature in the pod......"
Listening to the reminder, Ye Chen only nodded slightly, controlling the flame to remain constant.
This shows the key to the 2 points of fire control that he added......
You must know that for a novice alchemist, the first of the two major levels that he needs to face is to be able to control his flames stably.
After all, the flame temperature in the medicine pod is very high, and many medicinal materials have very strict requirements for temperature, and the slightest difference is likely to cause damage to the medicinal materials, and the refining will naturally fail at that time.
In addition, the remaining second level is naturally the control of soul power......
Seeing that Ye Chen's preparations were going very smoothly, the smile on the face of the Ye family ancestor became even stronger......
took out a gray scroll and said softly: "This is a prescription for a volume of healing medicine, with the names of the required medicinal materials, the heat of refining, and the ingredients of the medicinal materials that need to be refined, you try it first." ”
Ye Chen took the scroll and looked at it carefully......
It's just a healing medicine, which is the simplest category, so there are not many medicinal materials needed, only three.
"To disperse blood, you need one blood coagulation grass, two muscle-growing grasses, and one moon lotus."
Coagulation is a very common general term for healing drugs, which are named after the main drug coagulation herb.
However, because the prescriptions of each family are different, the auxiliary drugs required are also different, which causes the quality of the blood coagulation powder produced by different alchemists to be different.
The Ye family's blood coagulation powder is the top category, after all, the value of muscle-growing grass and moon lotus is not low, and the medicinal effect is also very strong.
In the same way, this will lead to an increase in the difficulty of refining medicinal materials.
Generally speaking, only those who have reached the peak of a first-grade alchemist, or a second-grade alchemist, can guarantee a success rate of more than seventy percent.
Of course, Ye Chen only needs to be able to successfully refine the medicinal materials now, and he doesn't need to think about the future medicinal effect fusion configuration work.
After carefully memorizing the requirements and key points on the prescription, Ye Chen took a deep breath and began his first medicinal material refinement.
Picking up a somewhat dark red blood condensation grass that had been placed beside him, he didn't hesitate to throw it directly from the mouth of the hideous beast on the top of the medicine tripod......
As soon as the Blood Condensation Grass entered the medicine tripod, before Ye Chen could react, the silver star flames fluttered and wanted to pounce.
This startled Ye Chen, and in a panic, he tried his best to calm his flames.
Looking at Xinghuo, who had calmed down, Ye Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief......
I thought this first time would be over in just a few seconds.
The ancestor of the Ye family next to him also nodded with satisfaction when he saw this, "Yes, the reaction is very fast, and the control of the flame is okay." ”
This situation was expected by him.
And the reason why Ye Chen was not reminded in advance was because he wanted him to experience it for himself and then deepen his memory......
It's just that he didn't expect Ye Chen's performance to be even better than he expected.
Listening to the ancestor's praise, Ye Chen was also slightly proud in his heart, but it was just this relaxation, and the temperature of the spark in the medicine tripod instantly went out of control for a second......
Although it was only for a second, looking at the medicine tripod again, a blood condensation grass had turned into pitch-black ashes, and was finally expelled from the tripod by the special settings in the medicine tripod.
Ye Chen's face turned dark, he was slapped in the face, right?
Sure enough, this thing can't be slackened at all.
Seeing this, the ancestor of the Ye family just smiled slightly, and did not have any other expression, but comforted: "It's okay, it's the first time, it will inevitably be an accident." Try again and it's ......"
Anyway, the medicinal materials prepared by the ancestor of the Ye family this time are very sufficient, in order to make this kid strong, and let you practice until you can successfully refine it with your eyes closed, and then start to combine medicines.
Ye Chen naturally didn't know about his ancestor's terrifying thoughts, otherwise he would have directly tried to run away at this time.
This first defeat only aroused his competitive spirit, but after calming down a little, he picked up a blood coagulation grass again and threw it into the medicine tripod.
Of course, refining medicine is really not an easy task......
Although Ye Chen had a natural flame and a strong soul power, these were only the prerequisites that could make him a high-level alchemist, and if he wanted to truly become a qualified alchemist, it was not enough to have these talents.
"When the temperature is high, don't be impetuous when refining medicinal materials, a little temperature difference can cause damage to medicinal materials......"
Looking at the blood condensation grass that had been burned again, the Ye family ancestor's face was still calm, and his tone was still gentle.
It's just that Ye Chen was a little anxious at this time.
After all, this has been refined more than ten times in succession, but only four or five of them have been successful, and most of the medicinal materials are either because the temperature is high or because the temperature is low, and the vast majority of them are damaged because the temperature is out of control.
Seeing that Ye Chen's mood had begun to become agitated, the ancestor of the Ye family did not persecute it anymore, but mentioned a few words and let Ye Chen go out to rest.
After all, the current Ye Chen is not even a fighter, although he has the help of Xinghuo, but every time he refines it four or five times, he will consume almost the same amount of fighting qi, and then he needs to rely on the pill to recover before continuing.
This kind of high-intensity refining is indeed a bit difficult for a child who is only five or six years old.
After Ye Chen left, Ye Zhong walked out of the shadows.
Obviously, when Ye Chen was refining medicinal materials before, he was not only the head of the Ye family, but also Ye Chen's grandfather, so he couldn't help but want to come and see.
