Alchemy room.

The flames in Jiuqiu's hand continued to erupt, wrapped around the base of the alchemy furnace.

The first spirit grass had successfully extracted the spiritual liquid, dripping and trembling in the Dan furnace.

Ling Jiuqiu hurriedly grabbed the second spirit grass prepared in advance, threw it into the Dan furnace, and continued to quench it.

What he was trying to refine now was an entry-level pill qi and blood pill, which was a weakened version of the first-order pill qi and blood pill, and it was not even a formal pill.

The materials required are relatively single, and there are only three main materials plus auxiliary materials, so the refining process is quite simple, and the most important thing is that the price of these three materials is not expensive, which is very suitable for novice practice, even if the refining fails, the loss is not large.

Soon.

The spiritual liquid of the second spirit grass was also successfully extracted, like an emerald green jelly, in the extremely high temperature of the Dan furnace, it was slightly shaken by the impact of the surging air.

Ling Jiuqiu hurriedly grabbed the third ingredient and threw it into the Dan furnace.

But at this moment.

The first drop of the liquid suddenly changed, and a hint of milky white appeared in the center, and then this milky white quickly spread to the entire drop.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the originally verdant spiritual fluid turned completely milky white.

Seeing all this through the observation port, Ling Jiuqiu's face did not change.

"According to the instruction manual, the milky white color is due to the loss of medicinal properties, it seems that the first drop of spiritual liquid has been stored for too long, and under the continuous high temperature in the furnace, the medicinal properties have volatilized, so it has quickly deteriorated."

"Even the quenching of the first step is not as easy as imagined."

Although he knew that he had failed, Ling Jiuqiu continued to refine and decided to complete the entire process.

It didn't take long.

The third drop of spiritual liquid was successfully extracted.

At this time, Ling Jiuqiu held a small oval protrusion on the alchemy furnace, which was the lever used to connect the inside of the Dan furnace.

The other side of the joystick is inside the Dan furnace, like a small spatula, which can operate the spiritual liquid in the Dan furnace.

The second step of alchemy, fusion, is to test eyesight and control skills.

Next, what Ling Jiuqiu had to do was to separate a part of the three spiritual fluids through the joystick, and fuse the separated parts.

The reason why it is necessary to separate a part of it, rather than directly fuse it all, is because the fusion of the spiritual fluid has a specific proportion and order.

Even the officially advanced elixir still needs to be divided into multiple fusions.

It is possible that a drop of spiritual liquid needs to be divided into more than a dozen parts one after another, and the amount and order are different each time.

Even if there is a detailed Dan prescription, you must have enough eyesight to judge the proportion of several spiritual fluids through the naked eye, through the observation port, and accurately divide them, and then fuse them.

Therefore, in the process of alchemy, both mind and dexterity are indispensable.

Of course, Ling Jiuqiu was only trying to refine the Qi and Blood Pill now, but it wasn't that complicated, he only needed to divide the three spiritual liquids proportionally and fuse them.

In fact, there are regulations on the proportion of each material in the Danfang, so the spiritual liquid extracted from the three materials is generally in line with the proportion, and only needs to be fine-tuned.

Ling Jiuqiu's eyes were tightly locked on the three drops of spiritual liquid, comparing the three.

"The Azure Grass Spiritual Liquid is four into three, the Crab Claw Grass Spiritual Liquid is two into six, and the Large-leaved Grass Spiritual Liquid is three into one."

"Even if you are a martial arts powerhouse, it is really difficult to distinguish such a proportion with the naked eye."

After struggling for a while, Ling Jiuqiu was still unsure, so he roughly divided it, symbolically removing a very small part of the two spiritual fluids, and mixing the rest in order.

As for the small amount of spiritual liquid that was removed, he used the lever to sweep it to the corner of the Dan furnace, so as not to interfere with the subsequent refining and affect the final ratio.

The mixing of the Ichor represented the completion of most of the most difficult fusion step, causing Jiuqiu to release the lever and concentrate on controlling the flames, using the high temperature to fuse the three Ichor into deep fusion.

And then it went very well.

After the fusion, Ling Jiuqiu gradually reduced the output of the flame, and the temperature in the alchemy furnace slowly decreased.

The fused spiritual fluid also slowly cooled.

Eventually, the flames stopped.

Ling Jiuqiu opened the alchemy furnace.

A pungent smell of burnt paste poured out, which was so irritating that Jiuqiu couldn't help frowning.

He looked at one of the black medicinal residues, and although he knew that the alchemy had failed this time, he still kneaded all the medicinal residues into the shape of a thumb-sized pill.

"Alright, the first alchemy is complete!"

Ling Jiuqiu smiled, threw the pill in his hand into the waste bucket not far away, and after thinking for a while, he started the second alchemy.

He bought a total of three materials, and the material cost alone cost more than a dozen taels of silver, but he couldn't just waste it.

With the first experience, Ling Jiuqiu's movements seemed to be familiar with the road, although he still did not succeed in refining, but he had somewhat mastered some tricks.

It wasn't until the third time that the Qi and Blood Pill was finally successfully refined.

Looking at the more than a dozen fragrant gray-brown pills in his hand, Jiuqiu activated the Martial Spirit Devouring Python and tried to swallow one.

In the blink of an eye, the Qi and Blood Pill was refined into pure energy and flowed into his body.

"It doesn't seem to be bad."

Ling Jiuqiu nodded secretly.

However, he also knew that the Qi and Blood Pill was an entry-level pill, and it was not difficult in the first place, it was just to help him master the steps of alchemy.

Moreover, Qi and Blood Pills are resource-based pills, just like meals, no matter whether they are good or not, their nutritional value is not much different.

On the contrary, if it is a healing pill like the Vitality Pill, whether it is refined well or not will have a great impact on the effect.

After swallowing all the more than a dozen pills in one bite, Ling Jiuqiu got up and left the alchemy room.

When he opened the door, a waiter approached not far away.

"Hello, Ling Gongzi, your apprenticeship application, a senior alchemist has already expressed his intention, please go to the counter to verify."

Ling Jiuqiu was surprised and said, "So fast? ”

The waiter just smiled and nodded, but he didn't say anything, because he was only responsible for informing, and he didn't even know Ling Jiuqiu's specific identity, let alone that the senior alchemist in his mouth was Zhuang Manli, the vice president of the Yanlong Martial Arts Academy.

"Alright then, thank you."

Ling Jiuqiu walked in the direction of the counter.

There was no one in front of the girl, and her eyes turned to the direction of the alchemy room from time to time, so she suddenly saw Ling Jiuqiu's figure, and immediately showed an excited smile.

Originally, she didn't know Ling Jiuqiu's name and identity, after all, Ling Jiuqiu was only registered in the book, and she didn't introduce herself.

But when Zhuang Manli offered to be Ling Jiuqiu's teacher, she took out the registration book to record, and only then did she see the words 'Ling Jiuqiu'.

You must know that in recent times, this name has been quite popular in Tongyuan City, and the discussion among the people is extremely hot, second only to Sheng Xuanang, a god-level martial spirit.

As a resident of Tongyuan City, this girl also participated in discussions in her spare time, but she didn't expect to meet Ling Jiuqiu himself today.
