Chapter 22 Alchemy is not easy, do it and cherish it!
After seeing Xiao Cui away, he took care of a big thing, immediately summoned Zhao Lao, and then began to follow the alchemy process according to what he had taught before.
"Set wood to make a fire"
"Prepare the herbs"
"Grinding into powder"
"With a little iloce"
"Put it in the Dan furnace"
"Cover the Dangai"
Let's live!
When the last step is completed, basically Lu Ming only needs to constantly stabilize the heat under the Dan furnace to ensure that it is good.
And how to maintain this heat, this involves the most important link! That is, Lu Ming needs to rely on the blessing of his own spiritual power, as well as the blessing of Dan power on a book of alchemy basic secrets that Zhao Lao handed over to him.
In this way, the two manas are attached to it in order to maintain the vigor of the Dan Fire and the final refining of the Dan Medicine, of course, it is definitely a very spirit-consuming thing in the long run.
Moreover, the further back you go, the more you look at perseverance and talent, because often a furnace of high-grade elixir not only requires you to not relax for a long time, but also when you add spiritual liquid and when you add the next medicinal herb is also very important.
Therefore, under many restrictions, it has also led to the fact that from the beginning of the Nine Feathers Continent to the present, alchemists have always been a scarce existence.
"Master, how long does it take to refine this furnace of elixir? Hey, hey,"
Lu Ming has been working hard here, feeling like a fool, so he asked embarrassedly.
Zhao Lao's voice suddenly came to his mind and said, "You kid, you are tired after only a long time of refining, you really can't bear hardship." ”
"As for the time of this alchemy, it also depends on what kind of pill you refine, if it is an elixir, then it will take at least ten days and half a month all the way, but if you are a fan pill, it will only take two hours at most!"
"I'll go, two hours, that is, four hours, and one night's time, I won't be able to refine much by tomorrow! How far is it from my dream of making a fortune!" Lu Ming suddenly became bitter after listening to Zhao Lao's explanation.
Zhao Lao suddenly sighed and said: "You scoundrel, if you hadn't already accepted you as a disciple or closed the door, the old man really wanted to expel you from the sect, which alchemist would be the same as you to go for this money!
Lu Ming hurriedly closed his mouth, knowing that his actual thoughts must be different from those of the master who talks about ideals and ambitions with a closed mouth, so he immediately smiled and said.
"Okay, I also know that your current situation is different, so I don't care, you just practice first, if you don't understand me, you must strictly follow the steps I taught you, and the rest will be fine!"
Lu Ming saw that Zhao Lao was about to rest again, so he immediately asked: "Fu, how many Qi Gathering Pills can I refine this night, and am I an alchemist now?"
Zhao Lao looked at this innocent child, and immediately said speechlessly: "How much you refine depends on your creation, and then you are still an alchemist? Is it a joke to really be a teacher, this kind of alchemist is a joke? You are already a very good apprentice at most, you know! Don't look for me if it's okay!"
After finishing speaking, Zhao Lao had no more voice, and Lu Ming was very sad when he was stunned, originally thinking that he had successfully entered the advanced profession of alchemist, and he could go to the peak of his life from then on.
But I didn't expect the dream to be so plump, but the reality is extremely skinny, and I am still a primary school apprentice for a long time!
But it doesn't matter, the junior apprentice is the junior apprentice, I am proud of refining, I am proud of refining! Every furnace is a silver pair of white flowers and a blue crystal stone!
In this way, Lu Ming began to strive towards his great dream of being an alchemist, which was indeed very hard at the beginning, and it was difficult for him to concentrate on his natural hyperactivity.
But slowly, he found that he was used to refining and refining, and while using the aura and the Dan Fire Furnace to refine the pill, it was also a process of accelerating his cultivation, and with the few bottles of Qi Gathering Pill that Ling'er gave him, it was much faster than his usual cultivation.
Lu Ming found that if he calculated at this rate, then by the time the major sects came here to hold the selection competition, he should be able to break through the foundation building period.
And even if you don't break through to the foundation building, according to your strength in the later stage of Qi training, when the time comes, just fighting a war of attrition will consume the two grandsons of Lu Yan and Lu Feng!
After all, the intensity of the aura in the middle and late stages of qi training is completely incomparable to yours, for a simple example, the body can store 2 aura in the middle stage of qi training.
But in the later stage, after the body further expands the meridians, it can store 4 spiritual energy, so won't it consume you to death!
But one night is not all good news, just like life, it will never be easy!
When Lu Ming finally survived two hours and opened the furnace with great anticipation, he was instantly blinded when he found that what he was in the Dan furnace was some black and unknown things.
"Master, master, what is this! What about my elixir? This thing shouldn't be called an elixir, right?"
After a while, Zhao Lao's spirit body floated out, and then glanced at the situation of the Dan furnace and said: "Of course this can't be regarded as an elixir, and it doesn't even look like a medicine residue!
"Garbage, garbage?" Lu Ming was blinded!: "Master, you play with me, right! I sat here two or two, like a mallet, and you told me that I made a furnace of garbage that is not even a medicine residue?"
Zhao Lao nodded lightly: "That's pretty much what it means, you understand it right." ”
Looking at Zhao Lao's calm expression, Lu Ming suddenly collapsed: "Master, don't be so calm, okay! This is the first time in your alchemy, and this is also a complete failure! Is there a problem with your teaching? It stands to reason that I am still very smart!"
"Presumptuous!" Seeing that someone questioned his alchemy strength, Zhao Lao's beard suddenly floated up in anger: "As a teacher, you are a dignified seven-grade alchemy master, can there still be problems teaching you this one-grade alchemy?"
"Obviously, you are not standardized in the alchemy procedure, and the time for adding the spiritual liquid is too late, so that the herbs cannot be condensed in time and become a failure, and you even come to question me?"
"Besides, it's normal for alchemists to have alchemy failures, otherwise, if they can succeed every time, won't this vast Jiuyun Continent be divided by those alchemy immortals?"
Zhao Lao felt much better after reprimanding Lu Ming, a stubborn man, and then told him again before leaving: "According to your current situation, even if the operations are all correct, you can have a chance of success in five out of five at most, so the road of alchemy is slow and long-term, and if you choose, you must stick to it, don't be impetuous!"
"I'll go, which means that my success rate in alchemy is at most a one-fifth! This is too unbelievable, isn't it?
"Master, why didn't you tell your apprentice earlier! You're too much of an apprentice! If you knew I wouldn't have learned alchemy! Oh my God!"
