Chapter 101: Fooling around without common sense
At the end of the next day, Master Yan Rong had just finished his official business and took a break to Zao Forget Peak.
Liangchen was an idle person, and he had nothing else to do, so he borrowed a set of ready-made utensils from Elder Meng to refine the pill and pass the time. Since he learned some alchemy techniques from the ghost doctor of Yanmen, Liangchen has only refined some low-grade elixirs, and has never had the opportunity to try refining high-grade elixirs.
Every time the elixir is upgraded by one level, its medicinal power will be increased by almost three times, and the difficulty of refining it will also be many times higher. Alchemy requires courage and carefulness, and the refining of each herb requires different conditions and methods, which require the alchemist's divine sense to accurately control. The higher the level of the pill, the more herbs need to be refined, and there can be no mistakes, all the timing needs to be controlled. After all the details are done, whether you can become a Dan or not, and what is the grade of Cheng Dan, it depends on the skill and mental strength of Ning Dan.
The medicinal power of the lower grade pills is completely produced by its own herb components, and the requirements for condensing the pill are not high. The medicinal power of high-grade pills is partly determined by the quality of the herbs, and the other part depends on the amount of heaven and earth energy absorbed during the condensation of the pill. The higher the grade, the greater the proportion of heaven and earth energy absorbed during the condensation, and the greater the effectiveness of the pill.
It is precisely because the pill will plunder the heavens and absorb the energy of the earth, so starting from the seventh grade, when the pill becomes a pill, there will be heavenly punishment. The higher the level of the pill, the more heaven and earth energy absorbed, and the heavier the heavenly punishment will be. The ghost doctor of Yanmen did not mention these to Liangchen, because he himself could barely refine the five-turn grade pill, and he couldn't arouse the jealousy of the Heavenly Dao, and he didn't think that Liangchen could refine the seven-turn pill in a short time.
Elder Meng was a high-level alchemist of Xianrui, and he could refine a sixth-rank pill at the highest, and he had never incurred heavenly punishment, and similarly, he didn't think that Liangchen had the ability to refine a seventh-rank pill. Elder Meng liked to drink tea, he lay leisurely in the recliner, sipping the tea in the pot from time to time, watching with great interest as Liangchen tinkering with alchemy, and from time to time pointing his fingers to express his opinions. Xue Ji also stared at a pair of big eyes, curiously watching Liangchen sweating profusely.
Ordinary people are content with their old habits, and scholars are indulged in what they have heard, but Liangchen, a wild alchemist who has not been systematically studied and cultivated since childhood, has his own characteristics. Every now and then, some outlandish ideas come up and I like to try my hand at tinkering and putting ideas to the test.
Sometimes inspiration comes and you can't stop it, and now is that time.
High-grade elixirs don't need to care about the five elements of the person taking them, because they themselves are the medicinal power that gathers all the attributes of the five elements. Liangchen's idea was to refine as many medicinal herbs as possible, condense them into pills, and make them derive and change themselves, so as to obtain high-grade pills. At this time, there was absolutely no shortage of medicinal materials on his body, and according to the five elements, dozens of rare medicinal herbs were selected as materials for quenching, and all his brains were put into the Dan furnace, anyway, Elder Meng's furnace was big and could fit it.
"Boy, the herbs that the old man can refine at the same time are only the number of hands. You kid put these dozens of kinds into it together, and the five elements belong to the other, beware of fried Dan. Elder Meng narrowed his small eyes and said jokingly. When the fire is not well controlled during alchemy, causing all the herbs to burn, it is the fried pill, which is the most common failure in alchemy.
Liangchen smiled and ignored it, he naturally knew this kind of common sense. After scorching for a while, Liangchen once again put dozens of cherished herbs into the Ding furnace, plus the previous ones, at this time, the scorched and refined herbs have reached more than a hundred kinds.
"Tyrannical things, tyrannical things, boy, you can give me so many treasures if you don't want them, don't be so ruined, it's a sin!" Elder Meng said with a look of regret.
"Master, something is wrong, it seems that he is not using the furnace fire to refine the medicinal power, but to decompose the medicinal herbs. Xue Ji felt it for a while, and said with some surprise.
"Oh?" After listening to the apprentice's words, Elder Meng also cast his divine sense and entered the Ding Furnace. Xue Ji was right, Liangchen only used the furnace fire to roughly process the herbs, and did not purify them, so he made more than 100 kinds of herbs into them at one time. "I'll just say, how can you kid refine so many herbs at once. Seeing this, Elder Meng looked suddenly enlightened and said with a smile.
"Master, it's still not right, since he doesn't refine, why does he want to decompose the herbs? There's no point in doing this?" Xue Ji tilted her head, unable to figure it out.
"Let's take a look first, who knows which tendon this kid is wrong and can't say, anyway, what he's wasting isn't our herbs. Elder Meng said playfully.
"Alas, it's a pity, it's all good stuff here, and it seems that this guy still has a lot of hidden goods. Xue Ji sighed and shook her head a little and said, following Elder Meng, an old money fan, Xue Ji's heart is naturally not much bigger, and he is also a small money fan.
After a few hours of burning, more than a hundred kinds of medicinal herbs in the Ding Furnace have almost decomposed, and Liangchen removed all the furnace fires, replaced his own origin spiritual power and continued to refine and refine the herbs. No matter how well the alchemist controls the furnace fire, it can't compare to the control of his own spiritual power, this is Liangchen's biggest advantage, everything is under control, like an arm, do whatever he wants.
Seeing this, Elder Meng and Xue Ji's master and apprentice were a little uneasy, and both of them had a look of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"Damn, isn't this kid cheating? Alchemy doesn't use a fire, it's too annoying. Elder Meng complained angrily.
"That's it, this kind of elixir that doesn't need to be refined by furnace fire, the medicinal power will definitely not work!" Xue Ji was also extremely psychologically unbalanced.
"Senior brother, don't lead my precious granddaughter astray, as a noble alchemist, how can you not have a broad belly!" Master Yanrong's voice suddenly came, Xue Ji retracted her senses, and happily threw herself into her grandmother's arms.
"Senior sister, when did you arrive, I was about to go to meet you!" Elder Meng said with a smile.
"It's been a while, this young man is extremely talented, such a new way of alchemy is a must, this person is definitely a good seedling of an alchemist!" Master Yan Rong praised Liangchen very much. "It is rumored that there is a new genius in your sect, who will not fall behind in the battle against the true realm with a mere spirit realm, and thwarted the conspiracy of the Demon Sect and saved the sect, and recently I heard that he assisted Feng Pavilion to survive the catastrophe, could it be that this is the person?"
"Grandma, that's him, his name is Liangchen. Xue Ji hurriedly said.
"Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, yes, it's really good. Master Yan Rong exclaimed to himself.
"This kid is good, it's almost time to catch up with my old Meng when he was young. Senior sister, you came from afar, it's very hard, let's go in and sit down first, I estimate that this kid won't be able to make up for long, and he will be fried soon. Elder Meng complimented with a smirk.
"Alas, brother, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still this cynical appearance. As an alchemist, it is a great blessing to be able to enjoy this kind of genius performance in my life, how can I miss it? If you want to go into the house by yourself, I will take Xue Ji here to watch. Master Yan Rong bluntly declined Elder Meng's invitation and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Yes, yes, my sister is right, I will stay with you. Elder Meng was extremely thick-skinned, and he did not show the slightest shame after being criticized, and still had a smile like a spring breeze.
"Alright, let's all be quiet, this kid is about to reach a critical moment, and Hugh is going to disturb him. "Master Yan Rong obviously knew Elder Meng very well, and he had long been accustomed to his dead-skinned temperament. After Master Yan Rong finished speaking, several people didn't say anything more, and quietly watched the alchemy of Liangchen.
It is extremely difficult for anyone's consciousness to be distracted, and what we often call distraction is actually only a diversion of attention, not a division. Drawing a circle with the right hand and a square with the left hand cannot be divided into two, and the division of consciousness is more difficult than the division of thought and mind. Those who may have cultivated their divine consciousness are often extremely talented, and it is difficult to return, but for them, it is not impossible. How many kinds of medicinal herbs can be refined, this is the simplest truth.
The origin spiritual power is of course miraculous, and it can replace the furnace fire, which is easy to control. However, if Liangchen's divine consciousness is scattered in insufficient quantities, it is still impossible to refine more than a hundred kinds of medicinal herbs at the same time. The limit of Liangchen at this time is to divide the divine consciousness into more than a hundred, which is quite terrifying.
Liangchen's control of the origin spiritual power is extremely accurate, and the refining efficiency is extremely high, and soon, more than a hundred kinds of medicinal herbs have been purified out of medicinal power, wandering freely in the Ding Furnace, and the rest is the last step of the Ning Dan.
Ning Dan is the end of alchemy, and it is also the most critical and difficult step, which is the concentrated embodiment of alchemy skills, the order of integration, the attributes of the five elements, and the amount of energy absorbed by heaven and earth, all depends on this step. It is also the most likely step in alchemy. Ning Dan is like a snowball, and the two flavors that are initially fused are the most difficult. Once the first two medicinal powers are successfully condensed, then the follow-up will be to test the alchemist's mental power.
From the previous fusion and condensation of the Five Elements Divine Light, Liangchen was inspired. The mutual growth and restraint of the five elements is produced on the basis of a certain amount, just like a glass of water that cannot save a car, no matter how big a fire is put into the sea, it cannot be burned. And to grasp the microsecond balance between this energy, in order to form symbiosis, symbiosis is the premise of change, endless mysteries are all from change, one life two, two to three, three life to infinity.
The first ones chosen by Liangchen are the water genus Pyrrhiza and the fire genus Tung Aoi. These are two herbs with completely opposite attributes, and the difficulty of their fusion is naturally extremely high. Similarly, the greater the difficulty of the initial fusion, the easier the subsequent integration can be, and the higher the starting point, the easier the subsequent road will be.
After purification, the medicinal power of the sherb and the red flower sunflower are all condensed into a ball of energy. When the two masses of energy approached, there was a huge repulsion, and Liangchen in turn increased the strength of the divine consciousness, oppressing its fusion, and after several attempts, they all ended in failure.
"Boy, this is impossible to do, how can two medicinal powers with completely opposite attributes be fused together, you kid doesn't even have this bit of common sense. Alchemy has a recipe, and you kid doesn't even have a recipe, so it's a waste of energy to mess around. Elder Meng said with a smile, Master Yan Rong also shook his head suspiciously, Liangchen was simply doing an impossible thing, which was completely contrary to normal cognition.
"Common sense?" Elder Meng's words reminded Liangchen that common sense is the law, and since the normal law does not allow it, then change this law. Thinking of this, Liangchen opened the Dao realm.
Seeing this, Elder Meng's small eyes widened to a new record this time.
