Volume 1 Plum Blossom Fragrance Chapter 21 Alchemy
"Good sword, good sword!" The unscrupulous old man couldn't help but narcissize when he looked at the flowing sword body. People are narcissistic and powerful. Ye Daotian couldn't help but praise the unscrupulous old man's sword training skills, this was completely at the level of a grandmaster! But this was also destined for the unscrupulous old man to become a master of refining.
"Boy, look at the sword, let's give it a name!" the unscrupulous old man said and threw the sword to Ye Daotian. Ye Daotian naturally pulled it, and a fiery red sword flower appeared in the air.
"Well, the sword is good, but it's a pity that the grade is a little low. Ye Daotian looked at the sword that seemed to be part of his body, but it had some fly in the ointment, and he felt a little pity.
"Hahaha, boy, you still read too few books, do you know why Feng Jin is a legendary-level refining material? It is because of its characteristics, what you hold in your hand now is only its first-order state. The unscrupulous old man smiled.
"Oh, please ask the seniors for advice. Ye Daotian was puzzled and asked the unscrupulous old man for advice.
"Well, the reason why Feng Jin is called Feng Jin is because it has some characteristics of the phoenix, Phoenix Nirvana, you should know, Feng Jin can be advanced with the help of flame tempering, each stage needs to be upgraded with the same flame, for example, at this time, the phoenix metal is in the low-level spirit weapon, you need to use the flame of the spirit level to upgrade it. Whether it's a spiritual fire or a different fire, in short, as long as it's the equivalent flame, and the function of this phoenix gold is not only that. The unscrupulous old man explained carefully to Ye Daotian.
"The boy has been taught, but where can I get this flame, although I have seen some information about spiritual fire and strange fire in books, but I don't know where to get it. "Ye Daotian has a headache, although the grade of this phoenix gold can be upgraded with the help of flames, but the preciousness of these flames is no less than that of phoenix gold.
"Well, look at my lava pool, it's actually a kind of alien fire, but it's just the highest level of mortal fire, and the shape of the flame is not fixed, it's like a liquid flame, but to put it bluntly, it's just a melted rock. There are various forms of spiritual fire and different fire, but without exception they are all above the spirit level, and the flames above the spirit level are not so easy to obtain, and the flames above the spirit level have a little consciousness. To put it bluntly, the flame has become a fine. The unscrupulous old man did not answer Ye Daotian's question directly, but continued to talk about the nature of the flames.
"Well, senior, the kid wants to ask where I can find it. Ye Daotian asked again.
"Hehe, don't worry, kid, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, there are various forms of spiritual fire and different fires, some of them can be hidden in wood, some can be hidden in water, but without exception, the places where they exist are full of aura but full of danger. ”
"For example?"
"It's like the dragon pool, there is a spiritual fire in the dragon pool, and its grade is not very high, it belongs to the spirit level, which is just right for you. ”
"Well, the seniors laughed, I still know my catties and taels relatively well. Ye Daotian replied euphemistically, but he was very excited in his heart, it seemed that this time he was going to the Dragon Pool no matter what.
"Heh, you kid is still modest in front of me, and what you want to do for me is in the Dragon Pool, wait a while, I will draw a pattern for you what I want, and then write down the method of weapon upgrade for you, and I will give you a reward in advance." The unscrupulous old man pursed his lips and gave the task.
"Well, well, it's just that the kid still has a concern, that is, the kid is worried that his appearance will be recorded by someone with a heart. ”
"Well, you don't have to worry about that, I have a mask here, just for those of you who come here to refine the weapon. As he spoke, the unscrupulous old man took out a silver-white mask from the storage ring, and a sword-shaped pattern was carved on the forehead of the mask.
Oh, this old man really has a heart. Ye Daotian took the mask and mocked fiercely in his heart.
"By the way, you haven't named the sword yet. The unscrupulous old man had a triumphant expression on his face, and he really wanted to be beaten hard.
"Well, let's call it Fengming. ”
"Well, you kid, I also gave you some domineering names for you, I didn't expect to take this name, but it's so ordinary. The unscrupulous old man was a little surprised, but he was expected, through his words and demeanor, the unscrupulous old man probably understood what kind of character Ye Daotian was.
"Well, boy, thank you again for the grace of sword training from your seniors, then we will leave it at that, and I will take out what you want from the dragon pool to see you. Ye Daotian arched his hand and thanked him.
"Well, alright, let's go. The unscrupulous old man waved his hand and motioned for Ye Daotian to go by himself.
On the way, Ye Daotian found a few more equipment stores, and found a good alchemy furnace in one store. Ye Daotian began to work on alchemy.
At this time, the sky was slightly white, and Ye Daotian, who returned home, completed the daily compulsory classes and began to practice the techniques of alchemy, although Ye Daotian practiced many times in his heart, but in practice it was another matter. An hour later, Ye Daotian had completely mastered the technique of alchemy. The fingers were nimble with one obscure handprint after another, these handprints were frozen in the air, and when Ye Daotian completed the last handprint, these handprints seemed to be alive, flying in the air.
Seeing this, Ye Daotian knew that it was done, so he placed the Dan furnace on the stove that had already been lit. After a short time, the Dan furnace was already green and smoky, and from this we knew that the temperature in the Dan furnace was extremely high. Seeing this, Ye Daotian put the Yunling Grass in, and the Yunling Grass did not make a stinging sound like ordinary vegetables in the Dan Furnace, but remained in its original state. This is the unique characteristic of these spirit grasses, these spirit grasses have been nurtured by the aura for a long time, and the hardness and strength of the cell tissues on their surface far exceed those ordinary herbs and vegetables. These epidermal cells will also retain the water and nutritional value of the herb for a long time.
But no matter how hard the surface is, there is no way to be with the steel, and slowly the surface of the tissue began to soften, and over time, this spiritual grass slowly turned into liquid, which shows how condensed it is, we all know that if ordinary herbs and vegetables are scorched in minutes in this high-temperature Dan furnace. However, not only was the Yunling Grass not roasted and turned into a puddle of medicinal juice, which shows that its quality is far beyond that of ordinary herbs. This also leads to differences in the cultivation progress of the monks, just like those teenagers in the countryside, it is not that their talents are not good, but the things they use in their cultivation are just ordinary herbs, and most of the time they rely on their own absorption of spiritual energy to cultivate, and most of the exercises they use are just stalls.
Ye Daotian saw through the small hole of the Dan furnace that the Yunling Grass had completely melted into liquid, so he began to make one handprint after another into the Dan furnace on his hand, and the handprints full of spiritual energy were integrated into the medicinal juice of the Yunling Grass through the Dan furnace. With a "poof", with the end of the last handprint, Ye Daotian completed the refining of the Yunling Grass. Of course, this is only the work of purifying the spirit grass with water, and the purification of the spirit grass that has lost water and dried up is even more complicated, and Ye Daotian only uses a purification method in the book.
Then Ye Daotian gathered the aura in his palm, and with a "bang", the medicinal juice in the Dan furnace was taken out, Ye Daotian put it away and put it into the jade bottle, and then took out another flavor of the Melting Spirit Pill, the Melting Spirit Grass is a flavor of the Spirit Grass that most of the pills use in the Ning Dan, its appearance is very ordinary, and many of them are like weeds in the mountains, so its value is not high, but it is of great help to the condensation of the pill. Therefore, there are many people who make a fortune by relying on the melting spirit grass.
In fact, people are like this, like a dime thrown on the ground, will you pick it up when you pass by? Surely you won't pick it up. What's more, there are many weeds like weeds, but some people see the business opportunities, they go to the countryside to collect the melting grass, the children of the poor families in the countryside often go to the mountains to pick herbs to subsidize the family, and when they see the melting spirit grass, they will pick it easily, although the meat is less, but it is also meat for the children of those poor families.
After Ye Daotian finished processing the Melting Spirit Grass like dealing with the Yunling Grass, he poured the medicinal juice of the Yunling Grass into it, and there were handprints of the Ning Dan on his hands, although there were thousands of techniques used for purification, but there were only a few dozen of the techniques of the Ning Dan. Just like stir-frying, the same vegetable can be processed in a variety of ways, but when cooking, it is nothing more than steaming, stir-frying, boiling, stewing, etc.
After a few clicks, the handprint was injected into the medicinal juice. At this time, the fire was already very weak, after all, it was just a matter of smelting the processed medicinal juice together, and it didn't need too much fire, just a little simmering.
Ye Daotian opened the lid of the furnace, "exhale" a faint fragrance floated out from the Dan furnace, this faint fragrance made people refreshed, when the fog in the Dan furnace dissipated, three crystal green and mellow pills lying quietly in the center of the Dan furnace. Ye Daotian knew that his first alchemy was successful, and a single Yunling Grass could condense up to three pills, which was an extreme number, and even the best technique could not change its law. This is true even for the Yun Ling Grass, which is no matter how old it is, but its medicinal power is much greater than that of those with a lower medicinal age.
Ye Daotian was very satisfied with this, he refined three of them for the first time in alchemy, and each of them was a top-grade elixir, although it did not reach the perfect level, it also made Ye Daotian excited for a long time. The first alchemy of ordinary monks often ends in failure, and some talented monks can condense pills, and the first time they practice with high talents, they are only low-level.
Therefore, alchemists are very popular in the world of monks, and the same is true for refiners, and of course array mages are even more respected. Of course, it is not easy to become a formation mage, and the difficulty of becoming a formation mage is far more than ten times that of becoming an alchemist or refiner, so formation mages often know how to refine pills and refine weapons.
Of course, whether it is an elixir master, a refiner, or a formation mage, not only does it need superior talent, but the sweat it sheds is a hundred or a thousand times that of other monks. And there are some monks with mediocre talents, who also succeeded in the end, how much sweat did they shed?
People often see their shiny surfaces without ever understanding the sweat behind them.
