Chapter 413: Midi Alchemy
Midi's environmental sensing is only a small success, and it is far from being able to penetrate the inside and outside.
However, if the sensing range is narrowed to a very small piece, it is possible to achieve a certain range of perspective.
He initially spread out the sensing range of a table-sized piece, then converged further, focusing his psionic energy on the material in his hand.
Finally, gradually, the vitality, magic, structure, and so on inside several materials began to appear in front of Midi's eyes one by one.
In this way, he can grasp the situation of the material at the first time, and then change it in time.
"It's time to start alchemy. Midi raised his hand, and between his palms, a cloud of golden-red sword light ignited.
"Actually using magical fire for alchemy?" Sherlock's eyes flickered.
You must know that in addition to the basic conditions of alchemist's experience and familiarity with the materials, the biggest key to alchemy, especially the refining of potions, is the heat.
Different flames can bring different effects.
And the same flame can also refine completely different potions at different temperatures.
How to grasp the heat, how to control the flames, and even collect different kinds of fires are problems that every alchemist must face.
But the human being in front of him actually directly used the sword in his body to refine gold.
In addition, the purity of this sword is extremely high, and judging from the color, it seems that there is more than one attribute, in other words, it is a high-purity flame with a compound attribute, so to speak, it can definitely be regarded as the flame that alchemists dream of.
What's more, this flame is formed by the magic power in Midi's body, it is unique, and the operation is completely in a single thought, so there is no need to be familiar with it at all!
It's no wonder that even an alchemist like Sherlock, who thinks highly of himself, feels moved at this moment.
However, although this flame is enviable, there is still a question mark over whether it can be used to refine potions.
As for Midi, after running the sword, he no longer cared about the surrounding situation, but concentrated and began to refine the potion.
Regarding some basic aspects of refining potions, processing dishes, processing materials, heating, refining, preparations, etc., Midi had tried to refine and synthesize Gloomy Yinghua by himself before.
However, none of that is formal, just for the sake of better absorption.
Nowadays, it is necessary to complete these many links in a formal way, and to make a potion that can be used not only by itself, but also by everyone, and can be stored for a long time, is also a big test for Midi.
But just as accidents always happen in battle, now that Midi has started alchemy, there is no chance to retreat, only to use all his strength to complete this alchemy.
The first step is to dispose of the dish.
One of the taboos of alchemy is impurities, so any utensils must be cleaned before and after each use.
For Midi, the clean-up method is extremely simple.
He controlled the golden-red sword mangs at a lower intensity, and with a single thought, he swept them gently, and the tweezers, pliers, crucibles, test tubes, flasks, and so on on on the table were directly purified at high temperatures.
There is no need for any other complicated means, just in the blink of an eye, it is all cleaned.
At this point, the first step "dish" is complete.
This hand came out, although there was no technical content, but the convenience and efficiency made Sherlock on the side suddenly blush.
This is followed by the second step, which is to process the footage.
The processing of materials is also very particular, and it can be said that it is a key to alchemy, and the quality of material processing directly determines the success rate of alchemy later.
Fortunately, the two main materials that Midi now needs to refine the blood clotting potion and magic potion, "Black Leaf Grass" and "Dark Vine", are not particularly precious materials, and they do not require any complicated processing processes, as long as they are ground and crushed.
Of course, grinding itself is a technical job, but it is no less common for Midi.
As soon as his mind moved, the color of the golden-red sword in his hand gradually changed, and the red representing the temperature faded, leaving only the gold representing the sharpness.
Then, the pale golden sword swept again, directly grinding both materials into fine powder!
After doing this, Midi carefully put the two materials into the crucible separately, and then spread them evenly to ensure that they can be evenly heated.
In this way, the second step of "processing the material" was also neatly completed in the surprised and shocked eyes of the dark elves.
The third step is to heat up.
This is the real beginning of the refining of the potion.
The first two steps can be done slowly, even if they are complicated, but once you start heating up, it means you can't stop halfway.
There must be no difference in the type, size, temperature, or even heating area of the fire used for heating.
Otherwise, it will lead to the direct destruction of alchemy materials.
Fortunately, coagulation potions and magic potions do not have high requirements for "tinder" and "heat".
In other words, as long as the temperature of the flame can be kept within a certain range, it is sufficient, and there is no difficulty.
However, this "no difficulty" is for those experienced alchemists, such as Sherlock, who doesn't even need to look at the crucible, just estimate the time, feel the temperature and smell, and it is enough to judge the state of the material.
But for Midi, this step is extremely difficult, because he does not know what level of heating is the most suitable refining temperature.
He didn't have any experience in that area.
So, the only way is to look closely.
Not with eyes, but with psionic powers.
When the sword in his hand turned from golden to golden red, and began to heat the crucible, Midi also turned on the environmental sensing with all his might, and saw the life force and magic changes in the black leaf powder clearly in a perspective way.
At the same time, he carefully manipulated the sword to ensure that the entire crucible could be heated evenly.
On the side, the eighth apostle Lotus will also remind him from time to time.
Over time, the powder in the crucible began to melt and emit a faint fragrance.
"The main material has been processed, and it's time for the potion to be refined. Lotus's voice rang out, a little hurried, instead of slow.
Midi didn't answer, but immediately began to pour other materials into the cauldron.
Finally entered the fourth step, refining!
This is the most crucial step in the whole of alchemy.
Fusing different materials together to form completely new substances and acquire new properties is the essence of alchemy.
In the whole refining process, it is necessary not only the power of fire, but even the power of magic.
What's more, if it is some relatively large-scale refining, it is necessary to use the magic circle that has been planned in advance, and even the demon vein.
Of course, this kind of refining is completely beyond the ability of Midi, a beginner, and he doesn't even dare to think about it.
However, the refining of blood coagulation potions and magic potions is much simpler.
To be precise, this is not alchemy, but only to maximize the effects of the herbs.
Therefore, it is not any other herb that is added, but a substance similar to a catalyst.
These things can further exert the characteristics of black leaf grass and dark vine, and at the same time, they have a certain tonic effect on the human body, and can also speed up absorption.
It is added to the melted paste in the crucible, and then filtered to remove impurities, and two low-grade drugs can be produced.
With the environmental sense to distinguish the situation of medicinal herbs anytime and anywhere, coupled with the guidance of Lotus on the side, Midi easily completed this step.
However, although Midi was easy to do and didn't think it was a big deal, Sherlock could see something strange in his movements.
Because Midi's movements are too precise.
For the control of the flame, it is accurate to the extreme.
When it comes to adding materials, it's as precise as possible.
Even the amount added is accurate to the extreme.
Sherlock was even surprised to find that the quality of the catalyst that Midi added every time was exactly the same!
At least, with his senses, he couldn't detect any difference at all.
This shows that the other party's perception of weight has greatly exceeded Sherlock's own limits.
How is this possible!
Sherlock was shocked.
This is no longer a matter of alchemy.
A person who can accurately control the quality to such a level, whether it is in the alchemy of medicines, or other aspects of manufacturing, will definitely emerge.
Even during his time studying in Morsoblay, Sherlock had never seen a master alchemist who could do this.
Only Midi has a powerful psychic ability, and has mastered high-level psychic abilities such as environmental induction, plus as a powerful ghost swordsman, he has a strong control over the physical body, which can achieve the unbelievable thing of "the amount of material invested is exactly the same every time".
If he could make this human an assistant, Sherlock was sure that the products of the Atelier would be upgraded by several notches.
Not to mention satisfying the requirements of the tarantula tribe, maybe you can also have a place in Mosoblay City!
Thinking of this, Sherlock's eyes suddenly burst into two rays of light.
The pair of "Punishment" twin swords had already been left behind by him at this moment.
At the same time, while Sherlock's mind was alive, Midi's alchemy finally came to an end.
Half an hour later, the catalyst and the main material had been completely fused together, and the original paste had now turned into a dark red elixir stock solution.
Midi withdrew the golden-red sword, and as the temperature dropped, a trace of medicinal fragrance emanated from the crucible, refreshing people's hearts.
Midi sniffed, and sure enough, it was the smell of the coagulation potion, because it was the original solution of the potion, which had not been diluted, so it was extremely strong at the moment.
After a short pause, Midi turned his wrist and poured the original liquid from the crucible into the potion bottle that had been prepared long ago, and diluted it with water.
This is exactly the last link, the preparation.
The stock solution needs to be diluted in a certain proportion before it can be thoroughly absorbed by the human body.
Among them, there is also a lot of knowledge to grasp.
If the concentration is too high, it may cause harm and become a poison.
If the concentration is too small, it may lead to a weakening of the medicinal properties and fail to achieve the desired effect.
Therefore, it is necessary to keep the dilution ratio within a defined range.
For Midi, of course, this is not difficult.
In the blink of an eye, the original liquid of a crucible had turned into six bottles of freshly baked blood clotting potions.
And Sherlock once again discovered that judging from the color and taste, the concentration of these six bottles of potion turned out to be exactly the same!
This kid is a little useful, I have to find a way to win it over!
After seeing these potions, the old alchemist, who was still a little hesitant, finally made up his mind.
