Chapter 3 Alchemy
Thank you book friends ~ diesel cakes ~ for tipping.
......
There is a saying in the alchemy world that if you are fifteen years old, you can't become a first-level Dan master, and you will definitely have no future.
And Lin Qiao has been practicing alchemy for nearly thirty years, and it wasn't until he was twenty-five years old that he had already succeeded in building a foundation, and he successfully refined a first-level pill and became a real first-level alchemist.
A person like Lin Qiao, although he is an elder in the foundation building period, but in the inner gate, no one looks down on him. If you want others to look down on you, you need to have superhuman skills, otherwise, you will be ridiculed. Lin Qiao was exactly like this, he only succeeded in refining the first-level pill when he was fifty years old, and now he is fifty-five years old, I am afraid that in this life, it is impossible to become a second-level alchemist.
Lin Qiao knew about this situation, but what was very puzzling was that Lin Qiao never gave up and insisted on alchemy. Everyone was puzzled, not knowing what Lin Qiao insisted on. But the more he did that, the more ridicule he drew from it.
Ordinary alchemists, the sect has assigned disciples who fan the flames, although Lin Qiao is the worst of these Dan masters in the sect, but the sect also assigned him a disciple. Just the month before, that disciple had successfully refined a first-grade elixir, thus breaking away from Lin Qiao, and the sect had assigned him a separate residence. The Hundred Refining Sect has this rule, as long as you become a first-level Dan Master, you can have your own alchemy.
Lin Qiao's disciple who fanned the flames was gone, but the sect had not assigned him one for a long time. Nie Fei went to look for it several times, and the elder who was in charge of assigning disciples said helplessly: "As soon as I say that I will go to you, no one wants to go, and I can't force others to go, right?"
Lin Qiao had to sigh helplessly, yes, his reputation is known to almost everyone in the sect, of course it is not a good reputation, which aspiring disciple will be willing to come and serve him? In addition, the alchemy materials allocated to him by the sect were the least, and he himself was not enough, so he couldn't divide the disciples at all. With so many circumstances, it's no wonder that when they heard that they came to him, they all shook their heads.
Lin Qiao understood that as long as he was a disciple in the sect, it was impossible for anyone willing to be his fanning disciple. But for this matter, he was very anxious, he wanted to alchemy, he couldn't do it without such a disciple, this kind of thing, he couldn't do it alone. Besides, even if he wants to, he can't do it, he has to always pay attention to the changes in the pills in the Dan furnace, how can he have time to watch the fire?
Some time ago, he planned to go to Fengwu Mountain to look for some medicinal materials, but he met Nie Fei, who was lost. At that time, there was a burst of joy in his heart, a disciple who fanned the flames, didn't he have it? Sure enough, under his flickering, Nie Fei came with him without any doubt. As for saying that Nie Fei's whereabouts were unknown, Lin Qiao also thought about it for a while. But the way of origin is unknown, and it is not worthy of the temptation of a disciple.
This is the reason why Nie Fei was accepted as a disciple by Lin Qiao.
......
It was the first time for Nie Fei to enter the alchemy room, and he couldn't help but take a few looks. I saw that this alchemy room was very large and cleaned very neatly, except for a three-legged alchemy furnace in the middle of the alchemy room, there was basically nothing else, so it seemed that this alchemy room was very empty.
Lin Qiao sat cross-legged on a futon behind the Dan furnace, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was meditating. Nie Fei didn't bother him, walked to another futon, and sat down cross-legged.
After a while, Lin Qiao slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Nie Fei, and said in a solemn tone: "Nie Fei, refining this detoxification powder this time is very important for being a teacher. Probably you don't know that the first-level alchemist of this sect is only qualified to refine the second-level pill after successfully refining three first-level pills. As a teacher, he has successfully refined a pill, and there are only two missing, so he can refine a second-level pill, and once he succeeds, he will be a second-level alchemist. ”
Nie Fei secretly smacked his tongue, this master, but he is capable enough, he has actually successfully refined one.
Lin Qiao continued: "Therefore, when you wait for a while to refine the pill, you must take care of the fire, I call you a big fire, you will fan it urgently, I call you a small fire, you will not fan." ”
Nie Fei said: "Master rest assured, the disciple must be attentive." ”
"Very good, if this alchemy is successful, there will definitely be a reward for the teacher, and your benefits are indispensable. ”
Lin Qiao didn't say much, slowly stood up, and took out several medicinal herbs from the storage bag. Nie Fei looked at Lin Qiao with interest, and saw that Lin Qiao took out two of these herbs, lifted the lid of the Dan furnace, put them in, and took out two more of those herbs and threw them into the Dan furnace again. Before and after, Lin Qiao took a total of four herbs, one of which was one herb, he first took two, and then probably felt that it was too much, so he pulled off half of it and threw the other half into the Dan furnace.
Nie Fei nodded secretly, it seems that this alchemy also has to pay attention to the dosage of various medicinal herbs.
Then, I saw Lin Qiao close the lid of the Dan furnace tightly, and then opened the side mouth of the Dan furnace and continuously injected wood spiritual energy into it. While injecting, he explained to Nie Fei: "This is called compressed qi, and only when the herbs and spiritual qi are fused can it be successfully refined. During the alchemy process, it is necessary to press the air several times. This pressure is very important, it can be said to be the key to the success of alchemy, you have to remember. ”
Nie Fei nodded, he had seen this pressure in those jade slips, but he didn't understand it very much.
Lin Qiao continued: "This pressure is very particular, it can't be too little, otherwise it won't melt in, and it can't be too much, then the Dan furnace will not be able to stand it, and it will be very easy to burst." ”
As he spoke, he finally closed his palms and stopped pressing. "Okay, ignition. ”
Nie Fei immediately walked to the stove, took out the flint and other things, and lit the firewood under the stove. Of course, the firewood required for alchemy is not ordinary firewood, it depends on what kind of pill is refined, like this first-class pill, it is generally enough to leave the flame of Aoki. If it is above the second level, it is not possible to use firewood fire, but to earth fire.
Flames burst out of the wood, and within a moment, the entire pyre was engulfed in flames.
"Fan the wind, intensify the fire. Lin Qiao snapped. Nie Fei immediately picked up a pu fan beside him and fanned it into the fire. This pu fan is not an ordinary fan, but is made of a kind of immortal wood called Burning Sky Wood, which is made by a refiner. Strictly speaking, this fan is also a treasure, but it has only one effect, that is, after injecting spiritual energy into it, there will be a surge of wind, and the more spiritual energy is injected, the stronger the wind.
Therefore, this fan is not a surprising treasure, but it is made by the alchemist for the alchemist's alchemy fan, and there is no other use. Nie Fei waved the pu fan, but he didn't need much strength, the strength of the wind was all controlled by the aura, and it was very leisurely.
