Chapter 36: First Alchemy
"Dan furnace? Could it be that the little brother Cang will not be able to refine the pill?"
Without a trace, he said, "A little research." ”
"No one usually buys this kind of thing like Dan furnace, so my Liu family firm really doesn't sell it in this Busan Town, and I'm afraid there will be no other business in this Busan Town that sells Dan furnace. ”
Cang Mang was a little disappointed when he heard this, could it be that his alchemy plan was to be yellow?
I heard Liu Erye continue: "If you need alchemy, go to Busan Danfang, where you can rent a Dan furnace." ”
"Oh?
Second Master Liu looked at Cang blanket strangely and said, "Isn't this a normal thing? This kind of thing is so bulky, even if it is a Dan master, it is impossible to carry a Dan furnace everywhere." ”
Suddenly, the smallest Dan furnace weighs hundreds of catties, and it is indeed very inconvenient to carry.
Cangman's current demand for elixir comes from two aspects, on the one hand, the cultivation of the "Shennong Sutra", and on the other hand, the alchemy itself.
So Cang Mang said, "Second Master Liu, I want to buy some elixir from you." ”
Second Master Liu put down the tea bowl and ordered: "Shopkeeper Hu, you take the little brother Cang to pick the elixir." ”
"Little brother, please. ”
Cang Mang followed the shopkeeper Hu to the backyard, where there were a lot of elixirs to dry, and Cang Mang took a general look, with the majority of first-order elixirs, and some second-order elixirs, and even third-order elixirs.
Shopkeeper Hu introduced to Cangmang: "These elixirs are all collected by us in Busan Town, and they are ready to be shipped back to Green Water City for sale. ”
According to the Dan prescription that Xiao Ginseng gave him before, refining the first-order rejuvenation pill required three elixirs: phoenix grass, Tianxinzi, and wind turning grass.
These three elixirs, the quotation given by Shopkeeper Hu to Cangman, only cost a total of 6,000 spirit coins.
Remembering the price at which the Peng family sold the elixir to themselves in Qushui Town, it was also a first-order elixir, but the price was not so bad, right? In the end, there was only one conclusion, the Peng family was really black.
Cang Mang bought some elixirs according to the rejuvenation pill, rejuvenation pill, and detoxification pill that Xiao Shen taught him.
Cang Mang sighed, this alchemy is really expensive, and this kind of thing is really a luxury.
"Shopkeeper Hu, do you have ice bouquets and lichen vines here?"
"Icebouquets and lichen vines have been received before, but have been shipped back to Greenwater. If you need it, little brother, I can help you keep an eye on it, or transfer the goods from Green Water City. ”
"Thank you, shopkeeper Hu, I don't know what the price of these two elixirs is? ”
"The ice bouquet flower should cost 200,000 spirit coins, and as for the lichen vine, it should cost about 170,000. ”
Cang nodded and wrote down, he didn't expect that the price of the third-order elixir would be so different from the first-order elixir. According to Xiao Shen, among the Sanyang Red Fire Pills, the most valuable is the Sanyang Zhuguo, but he still needs to spend so much money on the premise that he already has the Sanyang Zhuguo.
This is still the premise of successfully refining the elixir, if the refining fails, it will be a loss.
Shopkeeper Hu sent Cang Mang back to the front hall, and Cang Mang paid the money, spending the 220,000 spirit coins on his body, and there were still 20,000 left.
Second Master Liu didn't expect that he would do a business with himself for 200,000 spirit coins in a hurry.
Although there are many cultivators in Busan Town, it is rare to encounter such a generous guest.
After inviting Cangmang to drink tea for a while, Liu Erye asked the shopkeeper Hu to return 10,000 spirit coins to Cangmang, saying that it was a discount for Cangmang. With such a good thing, of course, Cang Mang will not refuse.
"Little Brother Cang, I'm going to escort the goods back to Green Water City today, as for the ice bouquet flowers and lichen vines you want, I will arrange for someone to send them to Busan Town, and the price will be 350,000 spirit coins. ”
"Thank you Second Master Liu, if you can, I want two plants each. ”
When Second Master Liu heard this, he nodded: "If the little brother has a chance, he will definitely come to Green Water City to take a walk, and I will definitely sweep the couch to greet him when he pours." ”
Cang Mang took the elixir and left.
If he wants to stay in Busan for a while, he will have to find a place to live for himself.
First walked in the direction of Busan Danfang pointed out by Shopkeeper Hu, and finally not far from Danfang, I saw a signboard, Busan Horse Shop.
This horse shop does not refer to a place where horses are sold, but a place where horses rest, in fact, a place where they stay.
Cang Mang opened a room here casually, took a hot bath comfortably, and changed into clean clothes. Only then did he sort out the elixir needed for alchemy, and together with Xiao Ginseng and Xiao Huang, he went to Busan Danfang.
In the entire Busan Danfang, there are only three alchemy rooms, which are divided into three levels.
Cang Mang looked at the price list, the price of the No. 3 Dan room was 301 days, the price of the No. 2 Dan room was 501 days, and the price of the No. 1 Dan room was 801 days.
Just as he was hesitating to choose which Dan room to choose, Xiao Ginseng's voice came from his ears: "Go to the best one." ”
Eight hundred and one days, Cang Mang felt a little painful, but he still chose the No. 1 alchemy room according to Xiao Ginseng's words.
Entering the Dan room and closing the door, Cang Mo asked, "Xiao Shen, why did you choose such an expensive Dan room?"
"Of the three pill rooms, only this one is alchemy with fire, and the other two are all made with charcoal fire, not only is the speed slow, but the lack of firepower may also affect the quality of the pill, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”
After placing the medicinal herbs on a low table next to the Dan furnace, Cang Mang began to inspect the Dan furnace.
He had deduced the methods and steps of refining the first-order rejuvenation pill many times, but before alchemy, he still had to check all the tools and medicinal materials, which was a necessary preparation before alchemy.
Everything was ready, and he sat down in front of the Dan furnace and pressed the switch of the ground fire next to him.
The ground below the Dan furnace cracked, and a flame burst out, and the temperature of the Dan furnace slowly rose.
First, rootless water was added, and then the three elixirs of phoenix tail grass, Tianxinzi, and wind turn grass were added to the Dan furnace in different orders.
Protect your eyes with aura, and observe the changes in the elixir in the Dan furnace through the small holes in the Dan furnace. This is also the method for people like Cangmang, who are new to alchemy, and whose cultivation is not high, to observe the elixir.
Xiao Ginseng sat on the side and was silent, completely free to play.
The medicinal properties in the elixir were continuously extracted and fused into the rootless water to form the spiritual fluid.
As the volume of the spiritual fluid continued to shrink, soon a strange fragrance came to the nostrils, and the earth fire was quickly turned off.
The spiritual liquid is taken out and placed in a special mold, and when the spiritual liquid cools naturally, it can form an elixir.
For alchemists, it is not only necessary to see the quality of the pill, but also to see the same amount of medicinal materials, who can produce more pills. A good Dan Master, one elixir can produce five pills, although this has a certain relationship with the quality of the spirit herb, but the selection of the spirit herb is also one of the basic skills of the Dan master.
Although Cang Mang succeeded this time, the medicinal properties refined from the elixir were only enough to make two first-order rejuvenation pills, barely reaching the ordinary level.
After summing up the experience, the refined pills were put into the prepared porcelain bottles, and the remaining medicinal residues in the Dan furnace were cleaned up, and the second alchemy began.
