In the first ten days, Master Zhongli didn't teach Xiao Mo anything, but when he needed to open the furnace for alchemy, he asked Zuo Xiutong to call him over and watch together.

Then, Master Zhongli continued to instruct Xiao Mo to get some things, for example, when he was refining the Soul Pill, he asked Xiao Mo to take the various materials of the Soul Determination Pill, such as the Wind Determination Grass, the Heart Soul Grass, the Ming Shuo Flower, and the Xingyue Qinlan, etc......

And when refining the Heavenly King Baoxin Pill, he asked Xiao Mo to take the three flavors of the main materials for refining the Heavenly King Baoxin Pill, Wuxin Fruit, Jiusheng King Grass, Baizi Root, etc......

The refining of different Soul Fixing Pills, the Dingfeng Grass, the Heart Soul Grass, etc., are different in medicinal age, and the refining of the Heavenly King Soul Preservation Pill is also different in the Heartless Fruit, Nine Lives King Grass, Baizi Root, etc.

For example, the second-grade primary elixir, the Little Soul Setting Pill, requires between five and ten years of Dingfeng Grass, while the Heart Soul Grass requires more than ten years, while the second-grade medium pill Dingsoul Pill requires the same medicinal materials, but the age has increased, and the Dingfeng Grass needs between ten and thirty years, while the Heart Soul Grass needs more than twenty years......

As for the second-grade high-grade elixir, the Great Soul Setting Pill, not to mention, the Fixing Wind Grass takes between thirty and fifty years, and the Heart Soul Grass takes more than fifty years......

Each kind of medicinal material, with different ages, will show different medicinal properties, and the appearance has also changed, Master Zhongli wants Xiao Mo to learn the ability to debate the medicine and deal with the medicinal materials in the process of constantly taking and handing the grass.

Memorizing the whole 'psychic medicine book' does not mean that everything is fine, and there is a clear difference between talking on paper and getting started in actual combat.

Just like Xiao Mo, before this, he memorized the medicinal properties and pharmacology of Dingfeng Grass and Heart Soul Grass word for word, but when Master Zhongli really started alchemy and asked him to go to the front yard to choose a few suitable Dingfeng Grass and Heart Soul Grass, he stood in the pile of herbs in the front yard for half an hour.

First of all, there is a clear difference between the picture and the real thing, how to choose which one is the Dingfeng Grass in a bunch of herbs just sent, the Heart Soul Grass, the light is familiar with the psychic medicine on the Dingfeng, the image of the Heart Soul Grass is useless, only when you have really seen it with your own eyes, and slowly overlap it with the book, you can really understand the appearance of the herbs.

In addition, knowing the appearance of the herb, how to quickly distinguish it from many herbs, and find out its medicinal age, medicinal properties, and origin, is a very challenging kung fu, without a long period of immersion, it is difficult to achieve that state.

In the end, it is necessary to quickly remove some parts of its body that cannot be used for medicine, clean it up, and finally send it to Master Zhongli, which is also a unique skill.

At this point, Xiao Mo realized that even the alchemy miscellaneous servants who had always thought that they were relatively simple and lowly were not simple, they were usually selected, screened, and then classified, and the processed herbs were sent to the backyard and handed over to Master Zhongli for alchemy.

Among them, the light is discerning, classifying, processing, and preserving...... and other processes, which are very complicated and difficult, and also contain a wealth of pharmacological knowledge.

It took two days for Xiao Mo to finally succeed in quickly distinguishing the appearance of the Wind Grass and the Heart Soul Grass, and roughly discerning the age of the medicine from their appearance and smell, and then cleaned it up and delivered it to Master Zhongli.

Seeing this, Master Zhongli smiled with satisfaction and began to teach Xiao Mo the next step.

Take control of the fire!

For refining pills, it is not enough to know which herbs to use to refine pills.

The so-called alchemy is to pass many herbs through the monarch and ministers, after the separation of the main and secondary, to purify their impurities with furnace fire, retain their essence, and finally neutralize them into pills, which can play a special effect, either to increase cultivation, or to break through the bottleneck, or to nourish the muscles and generate blood, or to remove poison and clear the valley, or to prolong life......

Different pills require different herbs, but if the furnace fire is not well controlled, no matter how good and precious the herbs are, they will be destroyed in an instant, even if you understand the principles of the Dan Dao, you will not be able to refine even a single pill.

Therefore, it is very important to control the fire so that it is stable, neither intense nor soft.

First of all, Master Zhongli used a small Dan furnace to test it casually for Xiao Mo, he first put in a few low-grade herbs, and then asked Xiao Mo to turn them into medicinal liquids.

For the first time, Xiao Mo made a "bang", lest the flame would not be big, and directly let the herbs in the Dan furnace burn into flying ashes in an instant, and a puff of black smoke came out......

Xiao Mo: "......"

Master Zhongli looked at his expression and smiled slightly: "The first time you control the furnace fire, it's either too high or too low, it's normal, try again!"

Hearing this, Xiao Mo nodded, not discouraged, first waited for the Dan furnace to cool down, cleaned it up, and then put in a few low-grade herbs and tried it.

This time he didn't dare to burn the flame too much, so he was careful and added heat point by point, but as a result, half an hour passed, and the entire furnace temperature did not heat up, and he was directly knocked a chestnut by Master Zhongli: "Stupid, what year and month can you melt it into a medicinal liquid, and you haven't even melted the medicinal liquid, let alone the follow-up alchemy steps!"

Xiao Mo was in a hurry, the flames rose, and there was a "pop", and unsurprisingly, the herbs in the Dan furnace burned into ashes again.

Seeing this, Zhong Lishan smiled, and did not blame, but encouraged: "Actually, from the first day you came, I found that your soul perception is extremely powerful, you try to wrap the Dan furnace with your soul perception and feel the changes in the herbs inside, perhaps, you will easily grasp the secret of controlling the furnace fire." ”

"Good. ”

Xiao Mo nodded, cleaned the medicine furnace again, put the pill back in, and then did not rush to increase the furnace fire, but first spread the soul perception outward, and finally wrapped the entire Dan furnace in it like a cocoon.

Only then did he start to light the fire, and in an instant, with a "boom", in the soul perception, a wave of heat suddenly rose, licking the Dan furnace, and the herbs in the Dan furnace were slightly soft, but obviously did not reach the melting point.

Seeing this, Xiao Mo already knew in his heart, this time he was cautious, and with a bit of firepower, in an instant, the Dan furnace turned red, and then several herbs in the Dan furnace softened at the same time, and then turned into a clear and transparent medicinal liquid, flowing everywhere in the Dan furnace.

Seeing this, Xiao Mo hurriedly lowered the Dan temperature, and slowly fused together with the medicinal liquid, but in the end, he had to really refine the Dan, fuse the medicinal liquid, and refine it into a Dan, and the step of refining it into a Dan made a mistake again, the furnace temperature was too high, and the medicinal liquid inside evaporated in an instant, and the furnace temperature was too generational, and the medicinal liquid could not be fused, and finally the alchemy failed.

However, seeing this scene, Master Zhongli was already relieved to smile, if others want to master the furnace fire proficiently, it is absolutely difficult to do it without three or five years of study, but Xiao Mo's soul perception is naturally strong, as long as he can use his soul to perceive all the situations in the Dan furnace at any time, it is not difficult for him to control the furnace fire.

Three days later, Xiao Mo was finally able to initially control the furnace fire, and then, Master Zhongli really taught Xiao Mo all kinds of knowledge of Dandao.

First of all, there are herbs, pills, and the classification of alchemists.

In the Heart Saint Continent, if you want to become an alchemist, you must not be unfamiliar with the classification of herbs, pills, and alchemists, this is the most basic knowledge, and only by mastering the basics can you learn others.

The various herbs in the Heart Saint Continent are divided into eleven levels, such as ordinary herbs, gray level, green level, yellow level, green level, blue level, purple level, red level, orange level, immortal medicine, and divine medicine, and each level is divided into four levels: low, medium, high, and top.

For example, the green-level low-level spirit grass is set by the wind grass, and the green-level middle-level spirit grass heart soul grass.

Ordinary herbs correspond to thousands of mortals, and are herbs used by ordinary people in the world, such as hemostatic herbs, lovage, angelica, etc...... These can't be called spirit grasses yet, and the corresponding ones are just ordinary diseases.

And the herbs start from the gray level, which can be regarded as a real spiritual grass, the gray level corresponds to the concentration realm in the mental cultivation world, the green level corresponds to the free realm, the yellow level corresponds to the Qi Matter realm, the green level corresponds to the health preservation realm, and so on......

The higher the grade of the elixir, the more precious and difficult it is to collect, correspondingly, the higher the grade of the elixir, the higher the quality of the refined elixir, the same more expensive, the higher the quality, and the higher the level of the alchemist.

Corresponding to the herbal medicine, it is the grade of the pill, from one to the ninth grade, each product is divided into four orders: primary, middle, high, and extreme, such as the second-grade primary pill Xiaoding Soul Pill, the third-grade medium pill Tianwang Baoxin Pill, the fifth-grade primary pill Hongchen Refining Heart Pill, and so on......

The higher the level of the pill, the longer the main drug is needed, the higher the grade, there is rarely a saying that the gray level herbs are used to refine the second grade pill, even if there is, it is also an auxiliary drug, and the effect is not great, the main drug of the second grade pill is generally at least the green level.

The main medicine of the Sanpin Pill is the Yellow Order.

Each elixir, because of the different medicinal materials used, the difference in refining difficulty, the price is also very different, some are not worth at all, and some are a thousand gold, and there is no market.

As for alchemists, they are generally counted according to the highest grade pills that can be refined normally.

Those who have just entered the field of alchemy and have never successfully refined any first-grade pills are alchemy apprentices like Xiao Mo; above the alchemy apprentices, those who can successfully refine the first-grade pills after the assessment of the alchemist are called low-level alchemists, also known as first-grade alchemists.

And those who can successfully refine the second-grade alchemist are the intermediate alchemists, also known as the second-grade alchemists, the third-grade alchemists, and the fourth-grade alchemists, also known as the fourth-grade alchemists, that is, the level of Master Zhongli.

Five-rank alchemy master, sixth-rank alchemy master, seventh-rank Dan King, eighth-rank Dan Saint, and ninth-rank Dan Immortal.

In the entire Zhidao Palace, there are only three alchemy masters, and they can refine the four-grade pill at the highest, while there is only one alchemy master, who is high, that is, the current hall master of the alchemy hall, Qiu Baimei and Qiu Alchemy Grandmaster.

All the pills above the fifth grade in the Daoxue Palace came from him, except for refining the medicine for the mountain lord and several deputy mountain masters, the other pills he refined were pitiful, and even fewer could be circulated outside.

Therefore, if the four-pinned pill is expensive, the fifth-pinned pill is often sky-high, and you can't buy it with money.

Of course, for the current Xiao Mo, he is not even an alchemist, let alone the level of refining the fourth rank and the fifth rank pill.
