Chapter 65: Alchemy Begins

"In alchemy, it is difficult for a conformist alchemist to make greater progress, and their achievements are at most similar to their own teachers, and if you want to become an accomplished alchemist, you must have a sense of innovation. Sometimes, it is often a seemingly trivial change that can make the elixir exert a greater effect. However, innovation also requires learners to be familiar with the special surnames of various raw materials, because only by being familiar can you have a certain degree of foreknowledge, otherwise you will inevitably be like a fly without a head, and in the end it will be useless. ”

Although such a sentence was added with double quotation marks, Xue Han just swept it away, you must know that he doesn't even understand anything about the basics now, and he is still a new fart.

However, due to his excellent memory, the general meaning of this sentence was firmly imprinted in his mind.

After that, the flame was introduced, but it was only a passing touch, and there was not much introduction. Although it was not introduced in the book, Xue Han knew that ordinary alchemists used the flame emitted by a fiery red stone called fire alum to refine the elixir.

As for the flames outside of this alum, Xue Han didn't know much, he just knew that when the alchemist had a certain amount of financial resources, he would choose a more refined flame.

Xue Han was naturally curious about the flames outside of the fire alum, but since he hadn't started at all yet, he was just curious, and he didn't take any actual action.

The price of alum is not very expensive, and it is also sold in the market, so Xue Han is not worried about not being able to get alum.

After the alum, it is time to introduce how to control the flames.

Next, let's go straight to the introduction of how to refine simple healing medicines.

However, Xue Han, who looked down, was immediately dumbfounded, because there were more than a dozen kinds of healing medicines listed in the book, and these healing medicines did not have specific names, they were all distinguished by numbers.

Xue Han went to Guofang City to buy healing medicine, and he also had a certain understanding of healing medicine, but where did he think that there were more than a dozen kinds of healing medicine in this column.

Although these names are followed by the refining materials and methods of various healing medicines, they do not explain how effective these healing potions are and whether there is any difference between them.

Although a little depressed, Xue Han felt that the compiler of this book probably had his own thoughts, and perhaps he wanted to use this method to give beginners a wide range of raw materials in order to enrich their knowledge.

But no matter what, for a beginner like Xue Han, even if there is a pit in front of him, he has to jump down now.

Now that there are refining methods and everything, Xue Han naturally plans to refine the elixir with great interest.

And now that his strength has reached the third order of a warrior, and there are not many days left in the clan comparison, no matter how much he sharpens the spear at this time, it won't have much effect, so Xue Han feels that it is naturally okay to take some time to learn to refine the pill.

Just do it, and early the next morning, Xue Han walked in the direction of Fang City.

In Chuxi Town, a person who has the opportunity to learn alchemy is the envy of others, so in order to keep himself from becoming the focus of others' eyes, when he was about to go to the Fang Market, Xue Han covered himself tightly like he did when he first went to the Fang Market to sell things.

Although the materials for refining healing medicine are not cheap, this is also relatively speaking, and with Xue Han's current financial resources, he naturally doesn't care about this.

Before buying these raw materials, Xue Han first sold the three demon cores of the pangolin in his hand.

Then I walked into a shop that mainly sold raw materials, but this shop seemed to be doing very badly, and there was only a middle-aged man with a sad face standing at the counter.

Thinking that this man is the owner of this shop, Xue Han said in his heart.

Seeing that a customer came to the door, although the customer covered himself tightly, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him, squeezed out a smile from his sad face and said, "This gentleman, I don't know what raw materials you want to buy." ”

The owner is a middle-aged man with a round face with a clean face, who looks quite honest.

Because there were too many things to buy, Xue Han listed these things on a piece of paper in advance, and even the quantity was written down, of course, since he bought it for the first time, he didn't know how much to buy, so he only bought twenty copies of each one.

He took the paper out of his body and said, "Just buy it according to the paper." ”

The shopkeeper who took Xue Han's note suddenly lit up when he saw that there was actually fire alum on the list, but when he saw the amount of these raw materials clearly, his originally bright eyes immediately darkened, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed in his heart, and said secretly, "I thought I was an alchemist, but I thought it was just a beginner." ”

Judging from the number on the other party's purchase list, he could see at a glance that the other party was a beginner, of course, beginners were also welcome, but what he needed most now was to be able to get an alchemist, you must know that the reason why he was cold here was fundamentally because the other two pharmacies had invited the only three alchemists in Chuxi Town at a high price, resulting in no alchemists who could refine pills in his shop.

Therefore, there are not many people who will come to him to buy things at all, because even if ordinary people buy raw materials, they will go to places where there are pills for sale.

In **, not only alchemists will buy raw materials, although ordinary people can't use raw materials to refine pills, but they can use ordinary raw materials to configure some simple drugs with much worse efficacy than pills.

And the shopkeeper in front of Xue Han lacked an income without an alchemist refining pills for sale, and if even ordinary people didn't come to buy raw materials, he would naturally be even worse.

The reason why the shopkeeper could see that Xue Han was a beginner at a glance was because the raw materials purchased by Xue Han were too average, almost every one was a quantity of twenty copies, but as everyone knows, in the process of refining the elixir, the consumption of fire alum can be said to be the largest, and the fire alum purchased by Xue Han is simply not enough to refine so many raw materials.

Moreover, among the ten raw materials listed by Xue Han, there is one ingredient that can be reused many times, so there is no need to buy so many quantities at all.

Although the shopkeeper was in a bad mood, although he would definitely make more money if he sold it to Xue Han like this, he had a good heart, and he didn't plan to let Xue Han spend such money in vain, so he said, "This gentleman, your alum is not enough to refine so many raw materials, you have to buy at least twenty more." ”

"Twenty?" Xue Han couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, he had spent half of the money more at once, and he didn't feel that the other party was cheating him, because this kind of knowledge was simply common sense for ordinary alchemists.

He was naturally a little depressed when he was surprised, but knowing that he would sooner or later show his novice's feet, he naturally quickly put such depression behind.

"Well, and you have this orchid grass, you only need to buy six servings, and it will be wasted if you buy too much. ”

"And this star-shaped grass, you only need fifteen servings. ”

......

In the end, the money Xue Han had to pay was actually 10,000 Fengyue coins less than the original, and from this point of view, Xue Han naturally would not suspect that the other party was cheating on himself.

What's more, when Xue Han brought up something he didn't understand, the shopkeeper of the place he knew also patiently explained to him.

And when it came to the final payment, Xue Han spent a total of 80,000 yuan, which surprised him again.

In his heart, he never thought that he would spend so much money, but when he thought about it, he was relieved, because what he estimated before was just the unit price of various raw materials, and he didn't pay attention to the problem of quantity at all, and once the amount of these raw materials increased, the total amount of money naturally followed.

Obediently, if it weren't for those pangolin rabbits that were always delivered to the door by themselves, he wouldn't have the capital to learn to refine pills at all, after leaving the store, Xue Han couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It seems that the reason why there are few alchemists is that the refining cost is too expensive, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford to learn.

After returning home, Xue Han was making a drum in the courtyard.

Since Xue Han usually boiled some medicine for Liu Feng, Liu Feng naturally didn't expect that what Xue Han wanted to refine was actually an elixir.

Xue Han first took the furnace tripod out of the space ring, this is a very ordinary dark red furnace tripod, smaller, but equivalent to one-third of an ordinary basin, the height is only more than thirty less than forty centimeters, the tripod mouth is round, there is a top cover that is also round, the top cover is the tripod body, and finally there are three tripod feet, but between the tripod feet and the tripod body, there is a center concave platform connected with three tripod feet.

Xue Han knew that this was the place where the fire alum was placed.

At that moment, he took out the alum, which was only half the size of a fist, and it was also an ore, and the whole body was red, but the whole was transparent, like a fiery crystal, but it was not as crystal as crystal.

Xue Han had not been in contact with the fire alum before, so it was naturally a little unfamiliar, and at the moment he was also drawing a gourd in the same way, trying to light the fire alum according to the method in the book.

I saw that he placed the fire alum between his two hands, and then let some energy be transported between his hands, and when the energy formed a thin layer of substance on the palm of his hand, Xue Han held the fire alum hard, and at the same time gently pinched it with both hands.

I only heard a "snort", and a red flame suddenly emerged from the alum.

Xue Han hurriedly placed the alum on the concave platform of Xiao Ding.

Since the layer of energy in his hand quickly dissipated, he didn't dare to continue to grasp the alum in his hand.

After placing the alum in the recess, Xue Han still put one hand on the body of the furnace ding, which has a special substance, so that Xue Han can use the induction power in his body to control the flames of the alum without touching the alum.

The induction force on Xue Han's body immediately began to contact the fire alum through his body, because he was very unfamiliar with the fire alum for the first time, so the induction force input was too strong, and the flames that were originally not high actually swished up.

Xue Han was taken aback.

And after the flames flew like this, Xue Han felt that the sensing power in his body seemed to decrease a little.

It seems that this alchemy is clearly to consume his own induction power, Xue Han said in his heart.
