Chapter 408: Refining the Pill for the First Time
Fang Tiannan didn't know what happened to Murong Xue and the others outside his room. When Fang Tiannan entered the room and prepared to refine the elixir, all of Fang Tiannan's mind was focused on the alchemy furnace that he had just exchanged from the Star Palace.
Although it was said that among Fang Tiannan's boundary cards, there was an alchemy furnace obtained from the inheritance cave, but if Fang Tiannan really wanted to use such an alchemy furnace to try to refine a martial artist-level elixir, Fang Tiannan was still full of a sense of disobedience.
Therefore, Fang Tiannan would exchange an ordinary alchemy furnace from the Star Hall to try to refine the elixir!
Of course, in the process of refining the elixir, not being disturbed by the outside world is one aspect, and it is also very crucial in the operation of integrating herbs in the first step. Many alchemists do not do enough to organize the herbs, which affects the success rate of the final chain elixir.
Fang Tiannan was in the room, and he didn't start at the beginning, he hurriedly took out the herbs as a whole, and used the true yuan in his body to catalyze the herbs and extract the most essence of them.
What Fang Tiannan is working on is how to be more accurate in the process of extracting the essence of herbs.
To put it bluntly, it is the essence of the extracted herbs, the ingredients suitable for refining the elixir, the purer the better.
And because of the existence of the "Alchemy True Scripture", Fang Tiannan undoubtedly knows a lot about the basic operations in this process. It is nothing more than a very rusty operation process in the specific operation process.
Fortunately, the herbs that Fang Tiannan was extracting were all at the level of a martial artist.
A martial arts level cultivator. He only needed to urge the strength of the fire attribute talent in his body to successfully decompose the impurities in the herbs, and condense the most essential part of them and introduce them into the alchemy furnace.
However, Fang Tiannan was in the room for the first three or five days. But they are all happy to do it. The work of breaking down and organizing the herbs is repeated.
On the contrary, there was not the slightest movement in the refining of specific pills......
Gradually, with Fang Tiannan's exchange from the Star Palace, most of the first- to third-order herbs. After all of them are sorted out one by one. Fang Tiannan felt his hands. Even the process of how to organize the herbs became very familiar, as if it had become my own instinct.
Almost every herb you see. In Fang Tiannan's mind, there would be an instant idea of how to sort out these herbs, and at the same time, Fang Tiannan's hands, as well as the true yuan in his body, would faithfully carry out these processes according to the ideas that emerged in his mind.
And Fang Tiannan turned around and went to look at the herbs he sorted out for the first time.
If it is said that from the very beginning, the herbal essence that Fang Tiannan decomposed and sorted out was unbearable to look at in terms of purity, then in the later stage, the herbal essence sorted out by Fang Tiannan reached the level of an ordinary alchemist.
"It seems that the harvest is quite good. Fang Tiannan couldn't help but nodded secretly.
It's not that Fang Tiannan didn't think that after having the existence of the "Alchemy True Sutra", he had directly refined the pill from the very beginning, but when he thought of the rest of the alchemists on the entire continent, every time he advanced, or in other words, every time he refined a new pill that he was unfamiliar with, he would continue to fail, and after constantly accumulating experience, he would be able to succeed, Fang Tiannan pondered, even if he mastered the recipe for refining the pill, and even the technique, if he did not have the ability to operate it skillfully, it would be in vain!
No, just from the sorting of herbs, Fang Tiannan has gained a lot.
Right now, all the herbs that Fang Tiannan has sorted out are still rudimentary herbs. If it was replaced by a high-level herb, such as the seventh-order Kui vine in Fang Tiannan's hand, there would only be one in total.
If Fang Tiannan was reckless, he would directly start to separate and sort out the Kui Teng first, and the essence ingredients in the Kui Teng herbs that he finally obtained that were suitable for refining the pill would probably be a mess, and he couldn't use it to refine the pill?......
Fang Tiannan let out a long breath, and then took out all the rest of the low-level herbs stored in the boundary card.
Under Fang Tiannan's deliberateness, all that could be left was third-order herbs.
The more low-level herbs are, the more Fang Tiannan will put them in front when he is preliminarily sorting. In this way, even if it is because of Fang Tiannan's unfamiliarity with the operation, the wasteful behavior will not make Fang Tiannan feel too distressed!
On the contrary, it was the part of the herbs from the fourth order to the sixth order, even if Fang Tiannan was prepared, he didn't have too many, basically, he was exchanging them with the Star Hall for the pills he needed to refine.
It can be said that Fang Tiannan's points in the Star Hall today definitely belong to the level of negative numbers. Fang Tiannan pondered, any disciple of the Star Hall might not be as "embarrassed" as him, right? For this reason, Gu Yanran, Mu Caiyi, even Murong Xue and the others, all had more or less lent their own points to Fang Tiannan for use.
Fang Tiannan can also be regarded as inheriting a lot of affection from these people.
Therefore, when Fang Tiannan treated the herbs from the fourth order to the sixth order, his mood was naturally more important.
Only after he was proficient in how to sort out the low-level herbs would Fang Tiannan start to decompose and organize this part of the herbs.
Thinking of this, Fang Tiannan went to sift through the essence parts of the low-level herbs that had been separated and sorted out one by one. Most herbs cannot be used to refine elixirs. First, the degree of decomposition and extraction of such herbs could not reach the standard of refining pills at all; second, when Fang Tiannan exchanged herbs from the Star Palace, he did not deliberately understand whether these herbs were suitable for the pills that Fang Tiannan was preparing to refine.
What's more, it's still Fang Tiannan himself who has plans to practice!
And as the essence of the herbs that Fang Tiannan decomposed, extracted, and sorted out in his hands increased, Fang Tiannan finally nodded with satisfaction.
Subconsciously, Fang Tiannan focused his attention on the alchemy furnace placed in the center of the room......
If the decomposition, extraction, and sorting of herbs can only be regarded as the basic skills of an alchemist, then once the alchemy furnace is used and the state of refining is entered, it is necessary to look at the talent of an alchemist on the way to refining pills.
And the "talent" of alchemy, compared to the cultivation path, is undoubtedly more natural!
Why didn't a cultivator like Murong Xue plan to go down on alchemy? It was really because after Murong Xue initially tried to refine the pill, he found that even if he focused on alchemy, he wouldn't achieve much!
To put it bluntly, compared to the cultivation path, Murong Xue's efforts and gains in refining pills could not meet the expectations in her heart.
It seems to be a first-order, suitable for the pill taken by a cultivator of the Ming Jin Realm, and almost any cultivator with fire attribute talent can refine it successfully, as long as he is provided with a large number of herbs and the correct method of refining the pill.
However, this does not mean that such a cultivator can really become an excellent alchemist.
Fang Tiannan had asked Murong Xue how to identify a cultivator, did he have any talent in refining pills?
Murong Xue's answer was very simple: before his own strength became a real person in the Human Yuan Realm, he would refine a third-order pill with a Dan pattern!
If you look at this sentence concretely, then being able to refine an elixir of this level comparable to your own strength realm is not considered to have an outstanding talent on the way to the Dan Dao. Only by refining an elixir with a Dan pattern that is comparable to his own strength realm can he truly reflect the talent of this Dan Medicine Master!
Of course, Murong Xue also explained that alchemists with this kind of talent are very rare, and even much rarer than the number of cultivators who can advance to the Grandmaster Realm!
Therefore, in general, as long as it can refine an elixir with a Dan pattern, no matter what level of elixir it is, any sect will vigorously cultivate this alchemist!
It is really the appearance of the Dan pattern, and the significance to the Dan pharmacist is far beyond the ordinary.
As for a sect like the Qingyun Sect where Fang Tiannan was before, it was very difficult to refine even a low-level pill with a Dan pattern. Perhaps, with the strength of the entire sect, Fang can occasionally find a low-level pill with a Dan pattern, but any of the Qingyun Sect's pill masters dare not guarantee that among the pills they refine in their next furnace, there will definitely be an elixir with a Dan pattern.
In many cases, including the top power of the Star Palace, if a pill master can refine an elixir comparable to his own strength realm, he can be regarded as an existence with a good talent on the way to the elixir.
More often than not, it is still a cultivator who has the realm of the Earth Yuan Realm, refining a third-order, or a fourth-order pill that a cultivator of the Human Yuan Realm can take!
And what about the elixir that Fang Tiannan was going to refine?
The corners of Fang Tiannan's mouth suddenly revealed a strange smile.
You must know that according to the records in the "Alchemy Sutra", those pills that do not produce Dan patterns are not qualified. The Heavenly Remnant Old Man who left behind the inheritance cave seems to have directly treated those pills that did not have a Dan pattern as a "waste pill". Whether it was the rewards allocated to the cultivators who entered the inheritance cave when they first entered it, or the medicine pool formed after the countless pills in the inheritance hall were discarded, it all illustrated this point.
