Chapter 127: Bigu Dan
"Ahhhh Ahem, ahem."
In a blink of an eye.
Hua Ying rolled on the ground, to hugged her head and screamed, and then to crying silently, until finally, she lay motionless on the ground.
Alchemy is too difficult.
Long.
Bai Mao, who was lying on the ground, finally moved his body, rubbed his face blackened by soot, and got up with a bitter face.
She looked at the firewood ashes and Linggu porridge scattered all over her body, and said with a sad face:
"This spiritual firewood is too unstable, you have to fix the stove, if you blow up the furnace a few more times, who can stand it!"
Straighten the crooked Ding furnace, clean the inner wall with water, and then find a few bricks to clamp the three furnace legs, and after they are completely stabilized, Hua Ying lit the spirit wood again and continued the previous steps.
This time she remembered that she did not add much firewood once, but only put a few small pieces of firewood at the bottom of the stove, so as not to catch fire later, and the previous situation was repeated again.
The so-called alchemy is nothing more than refining and refining various raw materials in the Dan furnace, removing impurities, retaining the essence, and finally condensing the essence part, which is the elixir.
Danfang played the most crucial role in this step. Many of the main drugs and auxiliary materials included in the recipe are extremely important and indispensable. Moreover, the ratio of various materials also needs to be grasped properly, if a certain raw material is put too much or too little, it may affect the final Cheng Dan rate.
Hua Ying once again re-equipped a furnace of Bigu Dan raw materials to grind into minced powder and juice according to the Bigu Dan recipe, and after the Ding furnace was hot, put them one by one, and after confirming that the furnace was stable, she carefully watched it.
Alchemy is an extremely time-consuming task, from the official opening of the furnace to the final completion of the pill, it can take several hours to more than a few days. During this period, the alchemists must be strictly guarded, and they must not be sloppy at all times, in case something goes wrong and leads to a failure, then their losses will be great.
It's okay to refine the common low-level elixir, the raw materials of the elixir are not difficult to find, if one furnace is wasted, it is a big deal to refine another furnace, and it will take a little time at most.
However, if it is to refine those rare high-level spirit pills, the raw materials often need to use the best elixir of hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old spirit grass, and the chance of becoming a pill is slim, and then because of carelessness, the raw materials will be scrapped, and no one can bear this kind of loss.
Therefore, generally speaking, those mature alchemists who have decades of experience in alchemy, when they are alchemizing, they will equip themselves with several alchemy boys who are responsible for taking care of the furnace fire, so as not to be careless and make mistakes.
For Hua Ying, it is impossible to invite a few alchemy boys, or in other words, her own alchemy level is only the level of an alchemy boy. Therefore, she could only take care of the Dan furnace herself, and she couldn't go away at any time, or even be distracted to meditate and cultivate.
But fortunately, as the lowest-grade elixir, Bigu Dan only needs to be equipped with a few raw materials to refine, so it doesn't need to be refined for too long.
The flame of the firewood under the furnace was burning, and the sound of gurgling and boiling could be faintly heard from the closed furnace.
Two hours later, Hua Ying pinched her fingers to calculate the time, and felt that it was almost time to open the furnace Ning Dan, so she stopped the supply of spiritual firewood, and after the fire at the bottom of the furnace turned from strong to weak, she continued to warm it with a small fire for a period of time, slowly preparing for Ning Dan.
"It's done!"
Finally, it's time for Dancheng. The fire was extinguished, Hua Ying rubbed her little hands, opened the lid of the stove with great excitement, and looked in little by little, looking forward to the arrival of that touch of golden light.
Legend has it that when the furnace is opened, the more golden light in the furnace is, the more it can represent the high quality of the elixir.
The impurities are removed, the essence is gathered, and the liquid medicine is condensed, which is for Dancheng.
Ooh!
Vaguely, Hua Ying seemed to see the arrival of a bright light, and as the lid of the furnace slid down, the situation inside the furnace came into her eyes.
"Ahem."
The expected golden light did not appear, but a pungent black smoke billowed out, and the strong smell of burnt paste instantly choked Hua Ying's tears and coughing.
"This smoke is poisonous"
After refining for several hours, only one furnace of waste pills was refined, no matter how good Hua Ying's heart was, she would inevitably feel a blow, squatting there and staring at the smoking furnace for a while before she regained her strength.
The waste pill is useless, it is a layer of charred and blackened paste, which is poisonous, and there is no other way but to discard it.
Speaking of spirit, not bothered by failure, Hua Ying picked up Xiao Ding and knocked it on the ground, making out a bunch of charred black impurities and throwing it aside.
Subsequently, she cleaned the Ding furnace again, equipped it with the raw materials of Bigu Dan, and prepared to strike while the iron was hot and refine it again.
"I didn't have a fryer this time, but it seems that the fire is still too big, so I have to add less firewood."
The reason why the first furnace of pills will be refined and wasted, after Hua Ying's review and summary afterwards, some conclusions have been drawn.
She believes that there is still too much firewood added in the early stage this time, resulting in too much fire, and most of the medicinal liquid in the furnace has been boiled dry in the middle of refining.
The follow-up fire is not reduced, and the liquid medicine is afraid that it has not yet condensed into a pill, so it will be scalded by the overheated furnace wall until it is coking, and then it will be too late when the fire weakens, and the liquid medicine has already been boiled and wasted, and it cannot be condensed if you want to.
Therefore, Hua Ying decided to refine again this time, and only added the least amount of firewood, even if the fire was too weak to condense the pill in the end, as long as it was not refined. You have to refine something that can be seen first, and you can't always refine a furnace of waste slag, right?
She firmly believes that as long as she perseveres and practices a few more times, she will definitely be able to master the most suitable heat.
So, in the next few days, Hua Ying kept refining the pill in the jade pendant space.
Turn the furnace on, turn off the furnace, and fry.
And so on and so forth.
One furnace after another, one furnace after another, I was so busy that I didn't rest, I didn't meditate and cultivate anymore, and I even forgot to feed the chickens.
Finally in three days.
Hua Ying held a handful of white pills in her hand, knelt on the ground excitedly, and said to herself repeatedly with a trembling mouth:
"It's done. became me. I became. I'm an alchemist, I'll refine it. It's been refined."
After several days and nights of unremitting efforts, she finally refined a white pill that was full of medicinal fragrance, with distinct grains, round and full. After counting, there were more than a dozen pills, each pill was the size of a soybean, and the appearance was very round, just a light sniff, and the aroma came to the nose.
“.”
In the past few days, Hua Yingshao has refined more than ten or twenty furnaces of Bigu Dan, most of which have only refined a pile of scrapped black furnace ash, and a small part of it is semi-finished powder that has not condensed into pills.
Only today's last furnace has successfully refined a pill that is indistinguishable from the Bigu Pill sold on the market.
Only those who have experienced it know a thing or two.
After being excited, holding the dozen or so Bigu Dan, Hua Ying picked up one and observed it carefully.
The more she looked at it, the more she felt that this pill was very beautiful, and she couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and swallow it in one gulp.
