Chapter 191 Alchemy Rookie is not a "vegetable"
"No way!"
Zhao Sheng thought about it and immediately gave up this idea.
His identity is very sensitive, and he needs to be low-key, and his reputation as an "alchemy genius" is too eye-catching, and it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble.
Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng's hand moved slowly, and he watched as the other eight pill liquids slowly turned into dregs.
Bang bang bang!
A series of dull popping sounds came from inside the alchemy furnace.
When Jin Mingzheng thought that the alchemy had failed, Zhao Sheng stretched out his hand and made a move, and the furnace lid suddenly opened.
As wisps of black smoke and bitter smell drifted out of the Dan furnace, a white elixir suddenly jumped out of the lid of the furnace, drew a white light and flew in, and fell into the Dan bottle that had been prepared long ago.
"Hey, you... You did it the first time! Jin Ming's shocked eyes were about to pop out, and he stammered in surprise.
Zhao Sheng shook the pill bottle, listened to the sound of the spirit pill Dongdong colliding inside, and said modestly: "This is all taught well by Master Jin!" Of course, there is a hint of luck. ”
Jin Mingmeng shook his head, looked at Zhao Sheng with extremely complicated eyes, and said very seriously: "It's not counted once, try it again."
He believed that there were geniuses in the world who succeeded in the first alchemy, but he didn't believe that Zhao Sheng was such a person.
Jin Ming would rather believe that Zhao Sheng had many alchemy experiences before, so he would have today's performance.
Zhao Sheng did not hesitate, and replied briskly: "Okay!"
This time, Zhao Sheng thought badly.
He thought that Jin Ming said this in order for him to consolidate and improve the success rate of refining the Fish Marrow Pill, but he didn't realize that people were unwilling to admit that he was an alchemy genius.
That's right!
The definition of "genius" in Zhao Sheng's mind is not the same thing as "genius" in Jin Ming's eyes.
Zhao Sheng thought that he was low-key enough, but he didn't know that his performance was still too outstanding.
You must know that there are countless types of elixirs in the world, which are roughly divided into detoxification, healing, replenishing vitality and nourishing qi, improving cultivation, increasing spiritual power, avoiding misfortune, prolonging life, etc., and the difficulty of refining each type of elixir is also different.
It is recognized in the alchemy world that in addition to a limited number of special elixirs that go against the sky, such as prolonging life and avoiding calamity, it is the elixir that is the most difficult to refine to improve cultivation and increase spirit.
Don't look at the fish marrow pill is only the most basic first-order elixir, there is only one main medicine, and there are only twelve kinds of auxiliary medicines, but it belongs to the elixir that increases spiritual power, and the difficulty of refining is much more difficult than that of the same level elixir.
The reason why Jin Ming chose the Fish Marrow Pill was to give Zhao Sheng a dismount and establish the majesty of a "teacher". Second, the Fish Marrow Pill is one of the several elixirs he is good at, and the difficulty of refining is neither high nor low.
Behold... Someone played cards out of common sense, which made Jin Ming's old face a little unbearable.
Recalling the tragic experience of being scolded by the master for dozens of days when he was learning to refine the fish marrow pill, Jin Ming still remembers it vividly.
This time, Jin Ming concentrated and observed Zhao Sheng's every move in refining the pill extremely carefully.
The second time he refined the Dragon Whisker Fish Marrow Pill, Zhao Sheng was obviously much more proficient than the first time, the Dan Jue and the Dharma Jue were very smooth, and the control accuracy was three points finer than the last time.
There was no doubt that the first three steps of alchemy were fast and steady, and it was completely impossible to tell that he had only tried alchemy for the second time.
"Ning, Dancheng!"
With a low shout, when billowing black smoke came out of the alchemy furnace, a white and mellow fish marrow pill flew over and fell into the pill bottle.
There was a soft sound, but it was like a huge thunder, which exploded in Jin Ming's mind.
Jin Ming couldn't help but moan: "... It was a success again! ”
When Zhao Sheng saw this, he was suddenly shocked.
At this time, he realized that his behavior just now was a bit Meng Lang.
An alchemy rookie has just started learning alchemy, but he has succeeded in alchemy twice in a row. This is not rare, but very rare.
Zhao Sheng's mind flashed, and he quipped: "Jin Daoyou, what's so surprising about this, after all, I am also a foundation building monk, with the help of divine sense, plus the foundation of the Dan Dao that has been laid for decades. Isn't it normal to refine a few furnaces of first-order elixir when you get started! ”
"That's right! Zhao Daoyou is in the foundation building realm, refining the first-order elixir of this difficulty is nothing to Daoyou. The old man almost thought about the left just now! Jin Ming suddenly realized, and finally showed a relieved smile on his face.
"Haha! I'm not a 'vegetable' alchemy! Zhao Sheng laughed and teased himself again.
When Jin Ming thought about it like this, he felt a lot better.
But after this change, he obviously paid more attention to Zhao Sheng.
"Daoist friends seem to have preliminarily mastered the essence of refining the Fish Marrow Pill. However, in order to increase the number of pills and the success rate, Daoists still have to practice as much as possible.
There are still six alchemy herbs left here, and you can refine them all today, okay? ”
Jin Ming's words were well-intentioned, but Zhao Sheng also had his own plans.
He smiled slightly and said tentatively: "Jin Daoyou, you have plenty of time today. You might as well teach me another method of refining the elixir? ”
When Jin Ming heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning.
Alchemy is a skill that is difficult to learn and difficult to master.
Zhao Sheng's words inevitably mean that he wants to run as soon as he learns to climb, which seems too anxious.
After thinking about it, Jin Ming sighed: "That's it! Since you want to learn, I'll teach you how to refine the Water Spirit Pill. ”
Is Zhao Sheng anxious? Not.
Through the experience of refining the Fish Marrow Pill just now, he had realized that refining other elixirs could also use his own talent to speed up the progress, which was like "copying".
In alchemy, having a master to teach and exploring by yourself are completely two concepts, and the difficulty of the two is not at all on the same order of magnitude.
Obviously, you can find a master to teach, but you have to explore it yourself.
This kind of behavior that wastes time, energy, and financial resources is simply very stupid in Zhao Sheng's opinion.
Just do what you say.
As soon as Jin Ming made up his mind, he took out the elixir for refining the water elixir from the storage bag.
The water elixir is also a first-order elixir, which belongs to the elixir of growth and cultivation, the main medicine is a hundred-year-old sea basket silk, and the auxiliary medicine has fifteen kinds of elixirs such as emerald heart powder and hook tamarin, and the difficulty of refining is more difficult than the fish marrow pill.
The steps of refining the Water Spirit Pill are almost the same as those of the Fish Marrow Pill, but the refining time is much longer, and the third step of refining the medicinal properties also takes at least an hour.
Refining any elixir, all the steps from the beginning to the end of the elixir require the refiner's full attention, and often one negligence will lead to the failure of the alchemy.
And this is just one of the difficulties of alchemy, and there are many more difficult places, such as the conflict and fusion of medicinal properties, the complexity of the Danhua reaction, the number of turns of Dan, Dan Tribulation and so on.
Book of Hundred Leagues
An hour and a half later, a furnace of water elixir was successfully baked, and the pill became five, which was of high quality.
Jin Ming gasped a little tiredly, and said with a smile: "Did Zhao Daoyou see it?" Alchemy is not so easy. ”
Zhao Sheng touched his chin and said coldly, "Jin Daoyou, why don't you refine two more furnaces?"
Jin Ming was stunned when he heard this, uh uh twice, and after seeing the other party's expectant gaze, he hesitated: "Let's refine another furnace!" There is only one medicinal herb left for the water elixir.
When you finish refining this furnace, you can go and refine the Fish Marrow Pill! You must know that alchemy is not expensive, and it is not too much to chew! ”
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng did not debunk the other party's lies, but nodded yes with a smile on his face.
Because it was the last time, Jin Ming was obviously more attentive to alchemy this time, not to mention Zhao Sheng.
After another hour and a half, a new furnace of water spirit pill was refined again!
This time, there are four pills, and the quality is still good.
Jin Ming was not satisfied with this result, and he had just reached the passing line.
However, Zhao Sheng was very satisfied and felt that he had gained a lot.
