Chapter 684 - Identifying Medicinal Materials
There was no specific end time for this round of palace examinations, but as long as the first hundred people completed the refining of the five kinds of pills, no matter how good the others were, it would be in vain, so no one dared to waste a single bit of time, and they all probed their spiritual power into the storage bag and began to analyze the medicinal materials.
After all, if you want to use all the medicinal materials in one plant, you must first have a comprehensive understanding of the medicinal materials, and then the next step is to match them according to the Dan prescription that everyone knows.
Even the disciples who were a little over-consumed in the first round of spiritual power were recovering their spiritual power at this time while analyzing the medicinal materials in their hands.
At this time, they also understood that although the first round of the palace test and the second round of the palace test were conducted separately, they were actually integrated, although many of them were strong in the first round, but the second round of alchemy also required spiritual power, if they could not complete the alchemy in the top 100 because of the excessive consumption of spiritual power in the first round, or if there was an accident in the process of alchemy because of insufficient mental power, they would also be eliminated.
For a moment, all the disciples in the entire hall test area fell silent, and while recovering their spiritual power, they were looking for a suitable alchemy method by comparing the medicinal materials in their hands with the pills they had learned.
At this time, Li Yichen also began to slowly take out those medicinal materials one by one.
Although his spiritual power was not consumed too much in the first round, his knowledge of Dan Dao came more from the classics provided by Han Xiaoleng and some of the medicinal materials he had seen in the medicine field, but his range of activities in the medicine field was limited, and the medicinal materials he had seen were not at all one thousandth of what was recorded in the classics, so he naturally did not dare to directly use his spiritual power to sweep away like other disciples at this time.
Moreover, in the countless attempts in the Xingchen Tianhe Diagram, Li Yichen also found that even the same medicinal material of the same year may be different due to the different environment in which it grows and the different climate of the growing period.
Of course, this difference will not have much impact on alchemy within a certain range, even if Cheng Dan will have some flaws, but it will not be wasted in refining Dan, but if this different amplitude deviation exceeds a certain range, then it may lead to the failure of alchemy, and if there is more than a certain amount of such medicinal materials in a furnace of Dan, it is not impossible to fry the furnace.
This is also why some alchemists feel that they have clearly completed the whole process of refining the pill in one step according to the record of the Danfang, but the color of the pill is extremely poor, and it is even possible to directly refine the waste fryer, and at the same time, some people use the same method to refine the best pill.
There is indeed an element of luck in this, and this luck is very likely to be the proportion of medicinal power contained in the selected medicinal materials, of course, this subtle proportion is extremely difficult for alchemists to find, even the top-level alchemists use techniques to adjust according to the changes in medicinal power in the process of alchemy with their own experience.
But Li Yichen, who has tried countless times in the Xingchen Tianhe Diagram regardless of the cost, has a deep understanding of this, although there may be some luck factors in the process of alchemy, but Li Yichen has slowly been able to control this controllable luck factor, so at this time, he is also extremely careful with each medicinal herb research.
"No, you have to test the medicinal herbs one by one, this is really the style of being a medicine boy!"
"I thought he had a strong mental strength, and he had run out of oil to survive the first round, otherwise he wouldn't have tested the medicinal materials like this!"
Looking at Li Yichen's actions, many disciples who were brushed down in the first round disdained, as if Li Yichen was not much better than them, and the fact that he was only a little worse than Li Yichen suddenly made them feel that it was not so difficult to accept.
On the stands, Mo Gaofeng looked at Li Yichen's movements and shook his head slightly, he could naturally see that the first round of palace tests had almost negligible consumption of Li Yichen's spiritual power, but Li Yichen's current method of identifying medicinal materials was definitely a more amateurish method than amateurish.
"It seems that after the palace examination, we still have to pull him back to the right path of martial arts!" an elder beside Mo Gaofeng also whispered.
Mo Gaofeng nodded, obviously they felt that Li Yichen participated in the Dan Dao Hall Exam in addition to the reason why he felt that the Martial Dao Hall Exam had no challenge for him, it was estimated that there was also a reason that he was a little curious about Dan Dao, but Dan Dao could not achieve something because of curiosity.
If that's the case, then there is no need for the Dan Temple to exist.
Just when Li Yichen was halfway through the inspection of the medicinal materials, many disciples had already sacrificed Danding and began to refine it, and Mu He was naturally one of them.
Although it is a little difficult to match more than 200 kinds of medicinal materials with five kinds of pills, it is difficult for him, and even after reading the medicinal materials, Mu He's heart has deduced more than ten formulas that meet the requirements of the palace test, but the difficulty of these formulas is different.
After thinking about it for a while, Mu He gritted his teeth but chose the most difficult formula.
Although in this way, he may have some risks, but Mu He is not only willing to be mediocre, even if there are thirty places to advance to the next round in the end, even if he just chooses a moderately difficult formula with his current alchemy attainment, he can easily pass the test, but Mu He is not willing to such a result.
Li Yichen can be a blockbuster, he can't be mediocre either, he has to break into the finals and win the championship with a rolling attitude, just like Li Yichen's chief competition back then, just like the shock that Li Yichen brought to everyone just now.
Danding Muhe glanced at Li Yichen, and found that he was still identifying medicinal materials, and couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of his mouth, especially when he saw that Li Yichen had been holding one of the medicinal materials for a quarter of an hour and still didn't move at all, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"Maybe he can't even recognize more than two hundred kinds of medicinal materials!"
Not only Mu He, but even the disciples who watched Yu around looked at this scene, and they all had such thoughts, after all, at this moment, everyone was rushing for time, but Li Yichen was holding a medicinal herb and holding it for a long time, what kind of explanation is there besides not knowing the medicinal herb?
But Long Cheng couldn't help but be secretly shocked when he looked at this scene.
Since it is a test, it is natural to increase some difficulty, the soul destroying grass that Li Yichen is holding has been manipulated, and before the palace test, several elders in the hall have slightly adjusted the medicinal properties of several medicinal materials, of course, this adjustment is very weak, even if it is found in the process of alchemy, as long as the opportunity is seen early, the technique is suitable, and it can be adjusted.
It is precisely because of this that such an adjustment is very obscure, even if it is detected with spiritual power, it is difficult to detect, and only the changes in the medicinal power can be perceived during the process of alchemy.
But Li Yichen was holding this soul destroying grass at this time and didn't let go for a long time, could it be that he discovered the mystery in it?
However, soon Long Cheng put this idea behind him, not to mention Li Yichen for such a change, even if he didn't know it in advance, it is estimated that he would only feel the imbalance of medicinal power when he discovered it in the process of alchemy.
After a while, Li Yichen put away the Soul Destroying Herb and continued to identify the medicinal materials, as if he had not been affected by the slightest bit of his mood due to the fact that others had already begun to refine the pill, and returned to his normal speed.
However, after about ten plants, Li Yichen's speed suddenly slowed down again, and at this time, what he was holding in his hand was a flying immortal branch.
Looking at Li Yishi's pause again, Long Cheng couldn't help but take a deep breath, "Coincidence...... It must be a coincidence......"
Although this Flying Immortal Branch, like the Soul Destroying Grass, had also been manipulated, Long Cheng still couldn't believe that Li Yichen could really see the clues.
At this time, even some disciples who had consumed too much spiritual power also sacrificed the pill and began to refine the pill, after all, more than two hundred medicinal materials were used to prepare five kinds of pills, and there were naturally some pills that had a simple refining process and would not consume too much spiritual power.
Therefore, recovering the spiritual power in the process of alchemy is naturally also a good way, and in a moment, the entire hall test area is blazing, and everyone is starting to get busy, and that technique is even more dazzling.
Even if many disciples know that they can't get too good rankings, but they still try their best to show off their own skills, after all, at this time, all the elders in the hall are watching, what if they see that they are perfect in the use of some extremely difficult techniques and feel that they have a good talent, and pay more attention to them in the future?
For the disciples who participated in the temple examination, some went to the championship, some went to the top ten, and of course, some were to show their abilities in front of the elders, otherwise if they knew that they would not participate in the battle if they knew that they would not have the opportunity, then it was estimated that more than ten people would be able to compete in the entire temple examination.
Under such a driving force, at this time, all kinds of alchemy techniques are even more novel, and even some lost techniques have appeared frequently, as if it is not important whether the Dan is good or not, but the techniques must be beautiful and difficult.
Participating in the palace exam at this level, let alone using basic techniques, even if you use ordinary techniques, it seems that you are embarrassed to greet people.
"Take a look...... Hundred Immortal Alchemy, that is the technique of Hundred Immortal Alchemy......"
"Whoever is cremated, my God...... I can't imagine that someone would practice such a technique......"
And the disciples around him seemed to be quite cooperative, and they couldn't help but scream one by one when they looked at those strange techniques.
And such a voice reached the ears of those disciples who were playing tricks, and it became their supreme motivation.
However, alchemy should have been something to concentrate on, and now it is naturally not possible to be so distracted.
Burst...... Burst...... Rumble...... Rumble......
In the midst of the muffled and roaring, black smoke rose, and many of the disciples who were extremely proud before looked at the Danding in front of them with bitter faces.
The failure of alchemy naturally means that their road to the palace test is over, although they are unwilling in their hearts, but at this time, they have to obediently put away the Danding and withdraw from the palace test area.
"Huh...... Li Yichen hasn't started yet, he doesn't plan to wait for everyone to fail in alchemy and then he will be promoted to the top thirty, right?"
Seeing that many disciples had already been out of the game because of failure, Li Yichen was still identifying the medicinal materials in his hand at this time, and many people whispered.
