The four most basic steps of alchemy are liquid, extraction, melting, and becoming dan.

Although the Ascension Pill is one of the most basic elixirs, these four steps are also indispensable.

Ye Chen first took out the jade slip and confirmed the alchemy steps of the Spirit Pill again, and then began the formal alchemy.

The Ascension Pill only needs three flavors of spirit grass in total, and the Ascension Spirit Grass is the main medicine, which is worth two lower-grade spirit stones, and the two auxiliary drugs under the body are not worth more than one lower-grade spirit stone.

Run the ignition and control the fire to adjust to the right temperature.

Only then did he use the Spirit Eye Technique, and at the same time, he took out a Spirit Ascension Grass and used the primer technique to control it to fly into the Dan Furnace.

Next is the first step of alchemy, turning liquid!

The so-called liquid is to turn the spirit grass into a liquid state, and at the same time remove some unnecessary impurities such as soil, so as to prepare for the next step of extraction.

There is a spirit eye technique attached, even if the spirit ascension grass is in the Dan furnace, Ye Chen can still observe the state of the spirit ascension grass through the Dan furnace.

The process seems to have gone very smoothly at first.

With the blessing of the various magic circles in the Dan Furnace, as soon as the Ascension Grass entered the Dan Furnace, it immediately began to show signs of melting and precipitating liquid.

This is a good sign, indicating that the preliminary temperature in the Dan furnace has reached the refining needs!

Ye Chen was overjoyed in his heart, but he quickly concentrated and didn't dare to be distracted.

There are too many emotional fluctuations during alchemy, which can easily lead to mistakes in the process of alchemy.

If he was not careful at this time, he might directly scrap the Ascending Spirit Grass inside.

He continued to urge the earth fire, wanting to increase the temperature to help the Ascending Spirit Grass continue to melt.

But he didn't expect that for some reason, the fire did not heat up as slowly as he thought.

Instead, it soared suddenly, and directly raised the flames that shrouded half of the Dan furnace!

"Oops!"

Ye Chen knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly played a few magic decisions and directly closed the fire plate in that place.

But it was too late.

The Ascension Grass in the Dan Furnace had turned into a puddle of charred ash in the instant when the earth fire was rising just now.

The first Ascension Grass, reimbursement!

The first alchemy, failure!

Turning into liquid was already a very dangerous step, and adding a little more to the temperature of the elixir precipitated by the spirit grass might be able to burn it, so he was very careful just now.

But I didn't expect it or failed?

Ye Chen's face was pale, and he looked at Uncle Wang next to him, only to see the other party nodding slightly.

"Don't be discouraged, the temperature you started to control is still good."

"It's just that although this earth fire has been suppressed by the array, it is still more irritable than you think."

"No one can succeed in alchemy for the first time, I think the old man practiced a hundred furnaces before refining the first furnace of pills!"

"Don't be discouraged, keep going!"

Even the steward of Waidantang said this, and Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought that his performance just now was unimpressive, but he didn't expect that it seemed to be okay.

If Uncle Wang, the manager of the Dan Hall, had only succeeded in alchemy with a hundred furnaces at the beginning, then it seemed that it really didn't matter if he failed once or twice.

After regrouping, Ye Chen took out a spiritual ascension grass again and tried alchemy again.

This time it was even worse, the Ascending Spirit Grass didn't even precipitate much spiritual liquid, and it suddenly caught fire.

Ye Chen's heart trembled, and the fire was even more uncontrollable, and he rose directly into the sky, completely turning the Ascension Grass into ashes.

The second alchemy was also declared a failure!

"Go on!" Uncle Wang next to him looked calm.

Ye Chen gritted his teeth and tried again.

This time it was better, the Ascending Spirit Grass successfully precipitated most of the spiritual liquid, but it seemed that because the temperature was not enough, the medicinal properties on those spiritual liquids began to lose suddenly.

Ye Chen hurried to save it, but it was still too late, and another Ascending Spirit Grass was scrapped.

The third alchemy, failure!

"Go on!"

……

The fourth alchemy, failed!

"Go on!"

……

The tenth alchemy, failure!

After many failed experiences, the eleventh alchemy, Ye Chen finally completely separated the spiritual liquid this time.

At this point, he had two options.

The first is to carry out the second step of extracting the spiritual liquid of this mass of spiritual ascension grass.

The second is to put this ball of spiritual liquid aside first, and the remaining two spiritual grass liquids will be turned into liquid.

There is no difference between these two and whichever you choose, it all depends on the alchemist's respective preferences.

And the consequences of failure are the same, the whole furnace of pills is scrapped, and all over again.

With a certain thought, Ye Chen naturally chose the first option, and he decided to directly try to extract this spiritual liquid to see if he could complete the second step.

The law was duel, and the fire of the earth rose and heated.

As Ye Chen played one law after another, time passed, and various impurities began to gradually separate out from the spiritual fluid, as if they were peeling off a cocoon, which was extremely beautiful.

If this step can be successful, he will be able to obtain a ball of pure spiritual ascension grass spiritual liquid, even if he stops alchemy and takes out this spiritual liquid, he can get a thing with a much better effect than the shoddy spiritual liquid he made before.

Ye Chen originally thought that this extraction step would be easier than the liquid, but he didn't expect that after he played a few magic decisions, the spiritual liquid suddenly became unstable, and after another magic decision was played, it directly boiled and exploded, turning into dots of burnt droplets.

The tenth alchemy, again failed!

"It's already good."

Uncle Wang, who had been watching from the sidelines, mentioned again, "But at this time, what you need to pay attention to is the position and timing of your legal decision......

"Don't look at the fact that there is no record in the Danfang, but it is these small details that are the biggest difference between a novice and a skilled alchemist."

After chattering for a long time, he continued to sigh, "The old man thought that your alchemy qualifications were good, but I didn't expect it to be even better than I thought. ”

"It's only ten times of refining to almost complete the first two steps, and the mistakes made in the past are almost never repeated...... You are a rare qualification in Dantang. ”

Is this called a rare qualification?

Ye Chen was really shocked.

He has always been Uncle Wang to comfort himself by saying things in the scene, but he didn't expect it to be like this?

It seems that the novice alchemists in this world are all the same as him now, "spoiling" the raw materials like this......

"The old man has something to go out, and this Danfang will be handed over to you to practice alchemy."

"You have to finish refining these twenty materials today before you can leave!"

Uncle Wang got up and shook the ash on his clothes, Ye Chen didn't know what the other party had to do, so he could only nod obediently.

"The disciple knows."

Being able to stay here and practice a few more furnaces of elixir, he can be said to be unwanted.

Before leaving, Uncle Wang glanced at Ye Chen's back and sighed in his heart.

"I don't know why Uncle Shi refused to let go of the opportunity for the disciples of the Outer Dan Hall to enter the inner gate...... Not even a recommendation. ”

"This son not only has good qualifications, but he is even more diligent in cultivation and study, and he also has this alchemy qualification, it is really a waste not to enter my Dan Hall."

He is in love.

But it's a pity that he is just a foundation building monk, and he still has no right to speak in the sect.

……

If Ye Chen knew that he was almost recommended by Uncle Wang to enter the inner gate, I don't know what kind of mental journey he would have.

But now, he was just seriously pondering his alchemy plan.
