Chapter 127: Beginner Alchemy
"How about it, have you thought about it!" Lin Yuxin still refused to give up the idea of letting Ling Yifeng apprentice, she had already made a small calculation in her heart, with Ling Yifeng's talent for the art of pills, she would never be below her, and she was likely to be surpassed by him in the future, it was better to be his senior sister first, wouldn't it be beautiful?
"You are taking in apprentices for your master like this, aren't you afraid that he will blame you when he finds out?" Ling Yifeng couldn't cry or laugh, she seemed to be determined to let herself be her little junior brother!
"That's absolutely not, my master loves me the most, and besides, I found her an apprentice with excellent talent like you, it's too late for her to be happy, how can she blame me?" Lin Yuxin grinned.
"Then let's do it, if I have the opportunity to meet his old man in the future, I will personally beg him to take me as an apprentice, so it's okay!" Ling Yifeng said helplessly, if he listened to Lin Yuxin's advice and became someone else's apprentice so inexplicably, it would be extremely disrespectful to that peerless master!
Turning her big round eyes, Lin Yuxin carefully considered Ling Yifeng's suggestion, and muttered in a low voice: "Well, yes, it should be up to you to personally apprentice and worship the master, although my master is not willing to accept more disciples, but for my sake, I will definitely agree to you!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you, but you have to promise me that before that, you will never worship other people as teachers!" Lin Yuxin raised his little pink fist at him and said, "You can only be my junior brother alone!"
Ling Yifeng couldn't stand her soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he nodded again and again: "Okay, good, except for your master, I will never worship anyone else as a teacher!"
After receiving Ling Yifeng's repeated assurances, Lin Yuxin let him go, and nodded with satisfaction: "You obediently call Senior Sister to listen, I will teach you to refine this blood condensation!"
"I'll try it!" Ling Yifeng stared at the medicine pod and licked his dry lips, his face full of eager expression.
"Hey, have you listened to me!" Seeing Ling Yifeng staring at the medicine stove in the middle of the room with a stupid expression, Lin Yuxin was so angry that she stomped her feet!
"I heard it, but it's not that I haven't entered your master's sect yet, it's a little too early to call it now, is your master willing to accept me and say it! Besides, I see that you have practiced so much, I have seen all the basic steps!"
"Hmph, although I admit that you have a high talent for alchemy, it doesn't mean that you can master the secret so quickly with your own strength! You see that I was quite easy when I refined, but do you know that I was trying to control the temperature of the flame and observe the refining degree of the herbs the whole time?" Lin Yuxin felt a little annoyed by Ling Yifeng's arrogance.
"Let me try, good senior sister!" Ling Yifeng shouted with a grin.
This sentence of senior sister is really useful, Lin Yuxin immediately became happy, she waved her hand and said: "Little junior brother, even if you let go and practice, if there is a problem, senior sister will help you solve it!"
Ling Yifeng put away his hippie smile, and he began to carefully recall Lin Yuxin's process of refining medicine.
"Put this herb into it first!" Ling Yifeng thought in his heart, turning his gaze to a strange-looking herb, it was a bit ridiculous, he couldn't even recognize all these medicinal herbs, and he was going to start refining it now.
It was a nepeta grass that had a good hemostatic effect, and Ling Yifeng grabbed it and stuffed it into the hole in the lid.
As the medicinal herbs entered the medicine pod, it was no longer possible to distinguish the state of the medicinal herbs through their eyes, and everything depended on the powerful spiritual perception of the pill pharmacist.
Ling Yifeng felt that this grass fell into the Ding Furnace and was immediately swept away by the high-temperature flames, and was soon burned into a pile of pitch-black ashes.
"Hehe, your fire is too big! You have to find the most suitable temperature for each medicinal herb based on your feelings, and let it be refined slowly instead of burning it directly!" Lin Yuxin chuckled lightly on the side, and then casually mentioned something.
Ling Yifeng didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and casually grabbed another nepeta grass and threw it into the medicine pod.
This time, he tried to keep the fire to a minimum, and the herb tumbled over the flames as if dancing in warm water, seemingly unaffected by the heat. Immediately, Ling Yifeng slowly urged the spiritual power, causing the flames in the medicine tripod to gradually heat up.
"Okay! Don't add more! This heat is the best, no matter how high the temperature is, you shouldn't be able to control it!" Lin Yuxin suddenly interjected.
Hearing her words, Ling Yifeng immediately stopped continuing to transmit spiritual power, allowing this fire to slowly melt the medicinal herbs!
"It turned out that I wanted to find this critical point!" Ling Yifeng was overjoyed in his heart, he seemed to have found a way.
Soon, this herb was burned into a pile of white powder, this is the correct operation of refining the elixir, not only to refine it, to ensure that its medicinal components are not lost and purified, but also to remove the excess part, which is easy to say, but not easy to do!
"Huh!" Lin Yuxin sighed lightly, raised his eyes slightly, and didn't expect that he would really succeed in refining the first medicinal herb.
"See the transparent steps inside, you can temporarily store the training materials there first, so as to facilitate the final fusion!"
Sure enough, Ling Yifeng observed that the transparent round platform surrounded the entire tripod alone, and the flame temperature in the center of the tripod was completely isolated here, no wonder the materials could be placed there with confidence.
"Next, it seems to be this!" Ling Yifeng thought for a moment, picked up a snake vine and threw it into the medicine tripod.
Slowly raising the temperature, Ling Yifeng soon found the temperature critical point of this herb. This time, he succeeded in refining this snake vine into a mass of pink liquid in one go!
Next, Ling Yifeng's speed became faster and faster, and after burning a few more medicinal herbs, he finally completely refined the eight materials.
However, he didn't know that for a beginner, just burning so many medicinal herbs was already a very good achievement!
At this time, Lin Yuxin couldn't be surprised, she was already immune to the shock that Ling Yifeng brought her, no matter what he did, she felt normal.
"The next most critical step is to bring all the materials together, and then you need to control the temperature in the whole furnace. You also felt just now that each medicinal herb has different degrees of sensitivity to temperature, so when you want to integrate them together, you must control the temperature of each flame at the same time, some high, some low, and some moderate, but you must not make a difference of half a point, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted!" Lin Yuxin also put away her playful smile at this moment and said seriously.
It can be seen that Ling Yifeng's body trembled slightly, and he didn't expect to control so many different temperatures at the same time!
For an ordinary beginner, one of the most basic skills is to learn to master the control of flames, it is not that Lin Yuxin did not teach him or did not remind him first, but he himself was too anxious and couldn't wait to try!
"It's okay to make you suffer a little, so that you won't be so blind and arrogant anymore!" Lin Yuxin snickered in her heart.
She had never seen a beginner be able to do such an extreme distraction to control the flames, not only to divide the mind into seven or eight, but also to maintain the spiritual power not to be broken, which was by no means easy for ordinary people to do!
However, Ling Yifeng was not an ordinary person, his other identity was the most terrifying profession on this continent - the Array Magician! The Array Magician's requirements for manipulating spiritual power and burning and manipulating the formation pattern were far more demanding than those of the Pill Medicine Master. In addition to cultivating spiritual power and spiritual skills every day, he also practiced formations, and now, he was able to easily control the nine formations, and he was one step away from being able to touch the threshold of the Dao Level 2 Formation Magician!
This kind of control power is beyond the reach of very people!
"Eight different temperatures?" Ling Yifeng took a deep breath, memorized all the different temperatures that all the materials were adapted to, and after feeling a rough idea in his heart, he began to take this final step!
The temperature of the flame is reduced to a minimum, and all eight materials, including powder, paste, or droplets, are removed from the transparent steps and placed into the flame, and the flame is slowly heated.
The temperature of the snake vine is low, and the temperature immediately stops when it reaches a point, and the temperature resistance of the blood coagulation grass is higher, which can be increased a little......
Finally, after a series of efforts, Ling Yifeng succeeded in keeping each material in the flame at the most suitable temperature.
Licking his dry lips, Ling Yifeng once again separated a spiritual thought, and now all he had to do was to fuse them all together!
The eight materials were gradually moving closer to the middle, and the flame temperatures between them began to affect each other, and Ling Yifeng, who noticed this, hurriedly continued to adjust the temperature.
"Yo, that's good, the reaction is fast enough! Almost, the nepeta grass is about to be scrapped due to the high temperature! Although it is a little blackened, the medicinal power is still there!" Lin Yuxin nodded slightly.
Sure enough, this last step is the most test of the pill pharmacist, the previous step, to put it mildly, only a person with fire attribute spiritual power can do it with hard work, but this last step can only be completed by a pill pharmacist who can sense the medicinal power of medicinal materials!
Ling Yifeng, who had almost lost his efforts because of the momentary loss of control just now, was already soaked in cold sweat on his back at this time! As the materials approached each other, the influence between them became more and more frequent and intense!
Ling Yifeng's nerves were highly tense, and he only realized the difficulty of the Pill Medicine Master at this time, but this was also of great help in training his distractions!
Under the thrilling operation again and again, the eight ingredients were finally perfectly fused, and all the medicinal power was mixed together in the scorching flames!
Extinguishing the flames, Ling Yifeng finally let out a long breath, and without caring about wiping his sweat, he immediately took out a small porcelain bottle to collect the fruits of his labor.
As a cloud of reddish liquid dripped into the porcelain vase, a smile finally appeared on his face!
