Volume 1 Dreaming of Tianyang Chapter 56 Refining the Elixir

After entering the cultivation room, Liu Ming was not in a hurry to start refining the quenching liquid, although he had obtained the true solution of the Dan Dao and the fire on the Flame Tiger, but for now, he didn't know anything about alchemy, what he needed to do now was to learn.

Liu Ming sat cross-legged on the futon in the center of the cultivation room, closed his eyes at the same time, and began to carefully read the Dan Dao True Explanation recorded in his mind.

The first thing he looked at was the content of the introductory part of alchemy in the Dan Dao True Explanation.

I saw that at the beginning of this part, there was a sentence written like this:

The so-called Dan Dao, refining its form, containing its spirit, condensing its spirit, and the technique is close to the Tao, which is the way of nature.

Liu Ming had little understanding of the meaning of this sentence, so he went to ask Tiantian, but the latter did not tell him, but only said that he needed to understand it himself.

Liu Ming saw that he didn't say it every day, and there was no way, and after thinking about it again and again, he didn't really understand the meaning, so Liu Ming could only ignore it and turn to learn those relatively easy-to-understand introductory knowledge of alchemy.

With Liu Ming's current mental power, it is naturally easy to memorize these contents. Therefore, after a while, Liu Ming memorized all this knowledge.

According to the records of the Dan Dao True Explanation, the most important thing about alchemy is that it requires extremely strong spiritual power.

Whether it is the control of the flames or the grasp of the medicinal properties, it requires strong spiritual power to complete.

Therefore, it is impossible for a person who is not strong enough to become an excellent Dan Master.

And this point is naturally not a problem here in Liu Ming.

After familiarizing himself with the various steps of alchemy in detail, Liu Ming finally began his first experiment.

I saw him take out the Danding he asked for from his grandfather and put it on the ground.

This Danding is just the most ordinary one-grade Danding, and it is the most suitable for Liu Ming to learn alchemy.

Alchemy is simply a process of extracting the essence of the elixir and condensing it into a pill. Therefore, the first thing Liu Ming had to do was to extract the essence of these elixirs.

And refining the quenching body fluid is this process, so Liu Ming personally refining the quenching body fluid is also learning alchemy.

However, he didn't dare to start refining the quenching fluid directly, those elixirs were very precious, especially the octagonal Xuanzhi, which was extremely difficult to find, and Liu Ming was reluctant to use these things to spoil it.

I saw that he took out some ordinary elixirs from the spatial ring without hurry, and he planned to use these things to try his hand first.

Putting these elixirs aside, Liu Ming began to use his vitality to hook the fire in the Yuan Palace, and a moment later, a rose-red flame appeared in Liu Ming's hand.

I saw him slowly bring the flame to the fire entrance in the Danding, and then carefully control the flame to burn the entire Danding, this step is called refining the Ding. To put it bluntly, it is to warm up, so that the Danding can better ensure the balance of temperature in all parts of the Danding in the next alchemy process.

After fully completing the refining of the Dingding, you can start refining the medicinal herbs.

Because Liu Ming just wanted to practice his hands, Liu Ming took a three-star grass at random.

Tristar grass is a very common elixir that is not expensive, but it is very versatile, and it is most suitable for novices to practice.

I saw Liu Ming carefully put this three-star grass into the danding, and then began to control the flame to quench this three-star grass.

Who knew that as soon as Liu Ming's flame touched this three-star grass, there was a "poof" sound, and in an instant, the three-star grass turned into ashes.

Seeing this scene, Liu Ming suddenly felt a little embarrassed, he knew that he would most likely be unfavorable, so much so that he didn't expect him to fail so quickly.

However, Liu Ming didn't care too much about this, and instead took out another three-star grass and put it into the Danding.

This time, Liu Ming lowered the temperature of the flame a little, but this three-star grass still didn't survive for three seconds.

So, Liu Ming lowered the temperature of the flame again and tried again.

Burst!

Or failed.

Liu Ming was not discouraged and continued to try.

......

In the following time, Liu Ming can be said to have deeply realized the difficulty of becoming a Danshi.

Just refining a very ordinary three-star grass, Liu Ming failed dozens of times, either the temperature was high and the medicinal materials were directly incinerate, or the temperature was low and the refining was not in place, in short, it did not succeed even once.

Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and after nearly 100 failures, Liu Ming finally succeeded in refining a three-star grass.

I saw that the pale green medicinal liquid was suspended in the Danding, and the residue of the three-star grass had already been burned by the flames.

Looking at this pale green liquid with only a few drops, Liu Ming's heart was extremely excited, and he finally took the first step!

Immediately, Liu Ming showed off to every day:

"Every day, how about it, I'm amazing, I succeeded so quickly!"

However, when he heard the words every day, he replied lightly:

"I don't know if you're powerful or not, because I've never met a Dan master who has just learned alchemy. ”

When Liu Ming heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile:

"I'll just think you're complimenting me. ”

In fact, Tian Tian didn't tell the truth to Liu Ming, he had existed for endless years, what had he never seen?

As far as he knew, those extremely powerful Dan masters had failed at least hundreds of times when refining medicinal materials for the first time, before they ushered in their first success, and they were all top Dan Dao geniuses, in contrast, Liu Ming only failed nearly a hundred times to achieve success, which was already a shocking talent, although he had a more powerful spiritual power blessing, but it was extremely rare to be able to do this.

But of course, he won't praise Liu Ming every day, otherwise the latter may not know what to become.

Liu Ming didn't say much to Tiantian, and then put his eyes on Danding, he didn't waste it, after putting the essence of these few drops of three-star grass into a jade bottle, Liu Ming took out some three-star grass again.

He knew that his successful completion of the tempering this time did not mean that he had mastered it, after all, there was a lot of luck in it, so he naturally had to practice more.

Putting a three-star grass into the Danding, Liu Ming began to refine it again.

However, Liu Ming's luck was not very good this time, in the middle of the quenching, Liu Ming was not careful, which made the temperature of the flame slightly higher, which led to the failure of the quenching and the burning of the medicinal materials.

Seeing this scene, Liu Ming couldn't help but sigh that the success just now was really due to luck.

And in the next few tempering, Liu Ming ended in failure, but he was not in a hurry, and he still calmly tempered the three-star grass.

Finally, after several failures, Liu Ming once again succeeded.

After that, Liu Ming began to practice tirelessly and frantically refining the three-star grass.

From the initial failure of several times to succeed once, to the later half of the success rate, and then to the subsequent success of several times to fail once, Liu Mingqu's proficiency in refining medicinal materials is rapidly improving, and at the same time, his ability to control spiritual power has also improved a lot.

For half a day, Liu Ming was practicing and refining the three-star grass, and its success rate was almost close to one hundred percent, before Liu Ming finally stopped.

It's not that he doesn't want to practice anymore, it's that Liu Ming's spiritual power has reached its limit.

If you use your spiritual power for half a day without interruption, if you are a novice who has just reached the Breaking Void Realm, I am afraid that your spiritual power will be exhausted just by refining a dozen medicinal herbs. That is, Liu Ming, a pervert whose spiritual power is comparable to that of a powerhouse in the Imperial Qi Realm, can last so long.

When he was resting and recovering his spiritual power, Liu Ming was not idle, he was running the exercises to refine the Yuan Stone to restore his vitality, and at the same time recalling the experience of sorting out the half-day refining medicinal materials, it can be said that he did not let go of the slightest free time.

Perhaps because of the existence of the Heaven Devouring Holy Soul, Liu Ming's speed of recovering his spiritual power was very fast every time, and only two hours had passed, and Liu Ming's spiritual power had been completely recovered, so he began to refine the medicinal materials again.

However, this time, Liu Ming did not continue to refine the three-star grass, but changed to a more common elixir to refine it.

At the beginning, Liu Ming failed unexpectedly for the first time.

However, in the second tempering, although Liu Ming also failed, he was only one step away from success.

In the third attempt, Liu Ming's tempering was successful.

This is the benefit that the previous experience of refining three-star grass brought to Liu Ming.

Next, Liu Ming tried to refine a few strains of this elixir again, and all of them succeeded without exception.

Seeing this scene, Liu Ming couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
