Alchemy room.

Ling Jiuqiu sat cross-legged in front of the half-human-high alchemy furnace, silently recalling the basic process of alchemy recorded in the introductory book.

Quenching, fusion, condensation.

These are the three steps of alchemy.

Quenching refers to the quenching of elixir and spirit grass into a liquid through high temperature, which is the essence of elixir and spirit grass, also known as spirit liquid.

Therefore, the process of extracting spiritual liquid is usually called quenching by alchemists.

The second step, fusion, is to fuse several spiritual fluids together in a certain proportion and order.

This step can be said to be the most important and core step in the alchemy process.

The content of a Danfang is not simply a record of the various materials needed, and the quantity of each material, but also the core content, which is actually about how to integrate.

This is also why, when many senior alchemists collect materials, they don't need to worry about leaking them at all, because even if others deduce that every material they use in alchemy, even the detailed material ratio, there is no way to restore the Danfang.

It is because the core of any Dan recipe lies in the fusion step, and if outsiders do not master it, they will never be able to learn this Dan recipe.

Even if it is the same elixir, the top alchemist will improve the fusion steps to form their own unique secret, which can refine the elixir better and the effect is stronger.

This step of fusion is the soul of alchemy.

And the third step, Ning Dan, can be said to be the simplest, only need to slowly condense the fused spiritual liquid into a solid pill shape.

Of course, no matter how simple the steps of Ning Dan are, it does not mean that it can be taken lightly, otherwise, the quality of the pill will decline, and the whole furnace will be damaged, and all the previous efforts will be wasted.

After recalling the information in the book, Ling Jiuqiu suddenly opened his eyes and pressed his hands on the alchemy furnace in front of him.

"Boom!"

Large flames spread out from his palm, enveloping the base of the alchemy furnace.

After the temperature in the alchemy furnace increased slightly, Jiuqiu let go of his left hand, grabbed a spirit grass on the side and threw it into the Dan furnace.

The next moment.

The flames gushing out of his right hand swelled up, almost enveloping half of the alchemy furnace.

Under the terrifying heat, the air in the alchemy furnace suddenly twisted.

Through a long observation port, Jiuqiu saw that the spirit grass was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the verdant leaves became shriveled, and they lost their moisture all at once.

"The fire quickly dries, and then the simmer slowly extracts the spiritual liquid."

Ling Jiuqiu remembered the knowledge in the books, and decisively reined in some of the flames, so that the temperature in the alchemy furnace dropped a little.

The reason why alchemists need fire element martial soul awakeners, rather than ordinary martial artists using the flames of nature to alchemy, is mainly because in the process of alchemy, the firepower needs to be adjusted at any time, and only the fire of true qi that can be accurately controlled by martial souls can achieve such conditions.

When refining high-level elixirs, the various high-grade elixirs and spiritual herbs that need to be used cannot be dissolved by ordinary flames, and they need the true qi fire of high-level martial artists.

……

The fifth floor of the Alchemist Association.

One of the alchemy rooms.

Zhuang Manli sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, her palms stretched out.

A steady stream of scorching flames flew out of her palm, merging into a large mass of flames beneath the alchemy furnace.

The heat was rolling in the whole room, but she didn't realize it, just refining the elixir in the furnace with a calm face.

After a long time.

The flames unleashed by her hands died down.

When the Dan furnace was opened, a strange Dan fragrance wafted out, making people feel comfortable when they smelled it.

Zhuang Manli showed a faint smile.

"Another furnace of soul nourishing pills has been completed, and the progress of martial soul upgrading can be greatly improved."

"However, this furnace of soul nourishing pills has used up the money I have accumulated during this time, and it seems that I have to find a way to save money again."

"If it goes on like this, I don't know when I will be able to upgrade to a god-level martial soul."

Thinking of this, the smile on Zhuang Manli's face suddenly decreased a lot.

After putting away the dozen or so jet-black pills in the Dan furnace and putting them into a delicate porcelain bottle, she got up and left the alchemy room.

The people she met along the way looked at her with reverence on their faces.

Zhuang Manli is not only the vice president of the Yanlong Martial Arts Academy, but also a third-order senior alchemist, who has a very high status in the Alchemist Association, as long as she comes here often, no one knows her name.

Going down to the first floor, when passing by the hall, Zhuang Manli's eyes inadvertently turned and saw a somewhat familiar figure.

"Huh? Is that...... Ling Jiuqiu? ”

Zhuang Manli paused slightly.

"What is he doing here?"

"By the way, he has dual martial souls, one of which is the fire element, and his cultivation has also reached the Spirit Sea Realm, it seems that he is preparing to become an alchemist."

While she was thinking, Ling Jiuqiu just got up and left, and headed in the direction of the alchemy room under the leadership of the staff.

After thinking about it, Zhuang Manli walked to the counter and asked the beautiful girl behind the counter:

"What was that young man here for?"

These are not secrets, the beautiful girl respectfully told Zhuang Manli.

"You'll tell him later that I'm willing to be his teacher."

The delicate girl's face was full of surprise.

She never thought that a big man like Zhuang Manli would take the initiative to be a young teacher.

Could it be that there is something special about that young man? Or did the two know each other before?

The girl didn't dare to think about it, so she quickly nodded and agreed, and took out the information book that Ling Jiuqiu had just registered to record it.

"If he agrees, take him to my alchemy room."

After speaking, Zhuang Manli turned around and walked away, returning to her alchemy room.

After meeting Ling Jiuqiu just now, she suddenly thought that the other party was a good partner to work with.

Outstanding martial arts talent means that there is a great chance of becoming a high-level alchemist.

In addition, Jiuqiu showed super endurance in the entrance competition, which is an extremely magical ability for alchemy.

Accept such a top genius as an apprentice, and wait for the opponent's alchemy ability to reach a certain level, and then teach the improved Dan recipe that he is good at to the other party for refining, and take a cut of it himself.

This kind of cooperation is more common among alchemists.

Some high-level alchemists are willing to accept disciples and teach them patiently, just so that the disciples can bring benefits to themselves.

After all, a person's strength is limited after all, and even if he has a magical pill, it is impossible to refine too many pills.

And having an apprentice is different, after teaching the apprentice, the apprentice can also refine, and then take a cut of it, both parties can benefit.

If you use the words of Ling Jiuqiu's previous life, these high-level alchemists have gradually mastered their own patents in the long-term alchemy process, but their production capacity is insufficient.

Therefore, it is much more convenient to find apprentices to help with OEM production and collect patent fees from them.

Anyway, in this world, good pills are always in short supply
