Chapter 23: Alchemy
Feeling that substantial gaze, Ye Qing couldn't help but glance at it, obviously it was the first time they met, why did they stare at me so much? Ye Qing had some doubts in his heart.
Seeing that Ye Qing found herself staring at him, the woman in white quickly looked away, still looking lukewarm. However, her heart was churning violently.
"What's wrong with me, it's the first time I've seen him, how can I have an indescribable feeling? It's really evil, but this guy doesn't seem to be simple! I can't see through him. The woman in white thought to herself.
"Hehe, since everyone is in place, let's prepare and start alchemy. ”
Fang Yu's voice just interrupted the doubts of the two, and then they each nodded to indicate that they had no opinion.
"Then let's go to the secret room inside, it's very quiet, and I'll tell my disciples not to let people disturb you. ”
So, the group followed them to the secret room.
It was an underground secret room located under a large hall, and Fang Yu skillfully opened the mechanism, which showed that he often came to this secret room to refine pills.
The underground chamber was not as dark and cramped as imagined, but was illuminated by the night pearls around it, and the entire area was close to a hundred square meters, which was more than enough to accommodate a few of them.
In the center of the basement there is a large medicine pod, three meters high, two meters in diameter at the largest point, and three feet at the bottom. Covered in golden yellow, it gives people an incomparably noble feeling.
"It's a good tripod and a five-grade emperor tripod, I didn't expect President Fang to have such a good tripod here, it's really disrespectful. ”
After the woman in white saw this Ding Da Ding, she said to Fang Yu, although she was praising this five-grade Emperor Ding, her tone did not reveal any envy, but it was like a tone of affirmation and praise.
"Hehe, the little five-grade medicine tripod, I'm afraid it is not in the eyes of the girl, which makes the girl smile. ”
Fang Yu also said politely when he heard this.
"Xiaotong, you are watching from the side, take a good look at the process of alchemy, this time the refining is a four-grade high-grade pill, and the teacher is not sure that he can refine it alone, so he asked the two of them to help. ”
"Yes, Master, Xiaotong will observe carefully. ”
Ling Ruotong responded obediently.
Fang Yu snorted, and then took out a large pile of things from his spatial ring and placed them on the side of the medicine tripod.
Ye Qing took a closer look and found that in addition to all kinds of precious medicinal herbs, there were also demonic beast crystal nuclei of various attributes, as well as some materials that he didn't recognize.
These materials are a headache just to sort them out, Fang Yu wants to put them together in the same way, it can be seen that he has spent a lot of energy, Fang Yu is worthy of being the president of the Lingcheng Pharmacist Guild, and his methods are indeed extraordinary.
"I will personally put these materials into the ding, and the two of you only need to take turns to control the heat according to my requirements, because the refining time may be relatively long, and one person will not be able to stick to it. ”
Fang Yu said to Ye Qing and the woman in white.
The two of them nodded to Fang Yu in agreement.
So, Fang Yu took a deep breath, the Yuan Force on his body began to surge, a crimson Yuan Force emanated from his palm, and suddenly, a red fire appeared in the Fifth Rank Emperor Ding.
Ye Qing remembered that Ling Ruotong had told him that every alchemist could use his own yuan power to make fire in the medicine tripod, this kind of fire was called Danhuo, the more advanced the alchemist's cultivation, the darker the color of the pill fire, the general alchemist was the fire attribute Yuan force, they could rely on their own Yuan power to make the medicine tripod produce Dan fire, if it was other attribute Yuan power, they needed to use special materials to ignite the fire first. It's just that only the Danhuo generated by relying on the Yuan Force can be controlled with the power of the soul, if it is ignited by a foreign object, it is more difficult to control, and it cannot accurately control the Danhuo, so all high-level alchemists are fire attribute Yuan Power.
A martial arts level master like Fang Yu, the color of the Dan Fire he casts will be so dark, and now Ye Qing can also cast the Dan Fire, but the color is much lighter, and it will be difficult to melt it and refine the Dan after encountering some special materials, so the more high-grade the Dan Pill, the stronger the Yuan Power required. In other words, a high-level alchemist himself is a master of advanced cultivation, and even if an ordinary person can refine medicine, he can only refine some low-level pills.
As soon as the Dan Huo in the Emperor Ding rose, Fang Yu wrapped some materials with Yuan Li and threw them into the pill tripod, when refining the pill, the order in which different materials were put in was different, and the refining method of each pill had a series of complicated procedures, so if there was no pill formula, it would be impossible to refine the pill.
Looking at Fang Yu's flowing skills, Ye Qing's eyes were opened, to be honest, the current Ye Qing can't do this step with Yuan Force, martial arts level people can only initially release Yuan Force, if you want to use Yuan Force to control things like Fang Yu, at least you have to break through to the martial artist level, after reaching the martial artist, the Yuan power in the body is much more than that of a martial artist, and the Yuan Force is even stronger, so that you can control things, it is said that some real masters can rely on their own Yuan Force to condense weapons, and their weapons are more powerful than ordinary magic weapons.
Fang Yu had arranged it before, he first started to control the fire, and after his soul power consumed a part, the woman in white took over the control, and finally Ye Qing, Ye Qing followed by Fang Yu, and so on, controlling the fire when everyone's soul power was sufficient, so as to ensure accurate control.
After a while, Fang Yu had already thrown half of the materials into the Emperor Ding, and as the Dan Fire burned, those materials gradually melted. Different materials have different requirements for heat, if the heat is not enough, the material cannot be melted, and even if it can be melted, it will consume more time, so that the quality of the refined elixir will be greatly reduced. On the contrary, if the heat is too large, the material will be directly burned to ashes, and then the alchemy will fail.
Looking at the materials wrapped in Yuan Li one by one in the Emperor Ding, Ye Qing finally understood why it would be so difficult to become an alchemist, he had to use his soul power to control different fires separately, and he couldn't go wrong at all, the requirements for soul power were too high, if he didn't practice the soul splitting technique, even Ye Qing's powerful soul power would not be sure.
Gradually, the materials in the Emperor Ding turned liquid one by one, and all the materials outside had been thrown in, Ye Qing knew that after all the materials in the medicine tripod were melted, it was the process of fusion, and this process was the most difficult step in the entire alchemy process, and many alchemists were prone to problems in this step, which was the main reason for the different success rates of alchemy.
The light clusters in the medicine pod began to slowly approach, some of the two began to merge, and some of the four or five kinds fused together.
It can be seen that even a alchemy master like Fang Yu did not dare to be distracted at this time, frowning slightly, his eyes did not blink, and his hands kept changing his technique. Because the speed was too fast, there were afterimages, Ling Ruotong couldn't help but open her small mouth when she saw such a scene, it could be seen that it was the first time she had seen such a complicated alchemy process.
"Condensation!"
Fang Yu let out a loud shout, only to see that those light clusters before began to gather, and all the materials began to fuse, this was the last step of fusion, as long as this step was successful, then the next step would be easy, just need to control the heat, and wait until Dan is ready.
At this time, there are still three large light clusters in the medicine pod, it can be seen that most of the previous materials have been fused, as long as the last three light clusters are fused, then all the materials will be fused.
The first is that the two smaller light clusters begin to contact, when they first come into contact, they seem to have a rejection of each other, if you want to fuse them, you have to control the heat to a precise point, only at that point can they be fused together, once the control of the fire is slightly deviated, then the light will not be able to complete the fusion, and the heavy material will be destroyed.
Fang Yu obviously wouldn't let this happen, and with his control, the two smaller light clusters finally slowly began to fuse, and after about five minutes, the two light clusters finally completely fused. At this time, there were only two large light clusters left in the Emperor Ding. As long as these last two light clusters are fused, then this alchemy will be mostly successful.
Of course, if the last two large light clusters want to fuse, the difficulty is not comparable to the previous ones, first of all, we must maintain their respective stability, only in that small range to control the heat, in order to ensure their stable existence, once the fire is slightly out of control, the consequence is a complete failure, everything before has to start all over again, and the materials will be destroyed.
Fang Yu took another breath, his face was already very pale at this time, it could be seen that his soul power had been consumed a lot, but he still didn't let the woman in white take over, he obviously planned to complete this fusion process by himself, and then let him take over.
The woman in white looked at Fang Yu's situation and didn't show the slightest hint of anxiety, maybe it was because she was helping others refine the pill, maybe it was because Fang Yu was confident, or it could be seen that Fang Yu still had some strength left.
At this time, Xiao Yi was in Ling Ruotong's arms, staring at its round little eyes, looking at everything in front of him curiously, and seemed to be learning alchemy.
But Ye Qing secretly sweated for Fang Yu, hoping that Fang Yu could persist until the fusion was completed.
With the adjustment of the heat, the two light clusters finally showed signs of merging again, and the edges of contact began to gradually connect, slowly, more and more places were connected, and finally, after about twenty minutes, there was only one light cluster left in the medicine pod. Fang Yu finally succeeded in fusing all the materials.
"Girl, it's up to you, just keep the current heat. ”
There was obvious weakness in Fang Yu's voice.
The woman in white nodded, only to see a burst of red light surging from her body, and quickly controlled the Dan Huo in the medicine tripod.
Seeing this scene, Ye Qing couldn't help but be surprised, and then looking at the color of her Yuan Force, he was even more taken aback, the color of the white-clothed girl's Yuan Force was darker than that of Fang Yu, wouldn't that mean that her cultivation was even higher than Fang Yu.
At this time, a low exclamation came from behind him, obviously, Ling Ruotong was shocked by the strength of the girl in white. That was at least a martial arts level cultivator, and although the girl in white was masked, it could be seen that she should be less than twenty years old.
