Chapter 9: The Alchemy Apprentice
"Alchemy Proficiency +1"
"Alchemy Proficiency +1"
.........
In the cave, Ye Bai put the jade cylinder on his forehead, poured his mind into the jade cylinder, and carefully checked the contents of the jade cylinder.
However, if you want to finish reading a jade tube, it will take half an hour.
Ye Bai once wanted to be lazy, tried to stick the jade tube on his forehead, and casually glanced at the content of the jade tube, but he didn't hear the system's prompt, and there was no news about the content of the jade tube in his mind, indicating that the system had failed to judge.
Only when Ye Bai looked at the contents of the jade cylinder seriously for a period of time would the system prompt sound, and after the prompt of the system appeared, the memory of the jade cylinder was completely recorded in his mind.
One by one, the jade tubes were seen by Ye Bai, and his proficiency continued to improve.
I don't know how long it took.
The jade tube that Ye Bai bought back has been read all.
"Alchemy: LV1 (35/50)"
Glancing at the attributes of the sub-profession, although the alchemy level had not been improved, it seemed in Ye Bai's mind that he had already refined the pill.
"Although the level has not been raised, you can try refining the elixir!"
Ye Bai muttered. Although he had never refined pills, he was very familiar with the refining of pills in his memory, and he was no stranger to them at all.
Because the peak where Ye Bai is located does not have an underground fire vein, if you want to refine the elixir, then you need to go to the flame peak of the sect, where there is an underground fire vein, which is specially used by the alchemists and refiners of the sect after the blessing of the formation.
Of course, if you want to use these secret rooms, you need to pay a lot of spirit stones.
Half an hour later.
Ye Bai came to the Flame Peak, even though he had not yet entered the underground secret room, the fire aura here was a little thicker than that of other areas.
After paying a fee for the right to use it for seven days at the counter, Ye Bai got the token and the jade cylinder of the underground fire vein control technique.
"I need a prefecture-level secret room!"
When Ye Bai was just holding the key, a young man dressed in white came to the counter and said as a matter of course.
"Jade Master!"
Looking at the white-clothed young man, the disciple on the counter hurriedly said respectfully, "Okay!"
There is a world difference from the attitude towards Ye Bai.
"Alchemist!"
Ye Bai saw the badge on the young man's chest, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
It was a badge issued by the most authoritative Shendan Sect in the mainland, and as long as there was this badge, then he could become a guest of honor for all forces.
"Master Jade, this is a token, please put it away!"
The disciple at the counter respectfully handed the token to the young man.
"Yes!"
The young man took the token in his hand and headed towards the underground chamber.
After waiting for the young man to stay away, Ye Bai opened his mouth and asked the disciple at the counter, "Who was that young man just now?"
"You don't even know Master Jade?"
When the counter disciple heard Ye Bai's inquiry, he looked surprised, immediately glanced at Ye Bai, shook his head and said, "It seems that you haven't been alchemy for a long time!"
Before Ye Bai could speak, the sect disciple spoke, "Yu Heng, the youngest alchemist of the sect, is only thirty years old and has already been verified by the Divine Pill Sect and issued a badge, and even some deacons of the sect need him to help refine the pill!"
"I see!"
Hearing the explanation, Ye Bai showed a sudden expression.
Alchemy, training weapons, formations, and talisman making are all very rare professions, so it is not surprising that they are sought after.
After bidding farewell to the sect disciple, Ye Bai went underground.
The further he went underground, the more intense the fire aura became, and before he knew it, Ye Bai was already sweating.
"Whew!"
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, looking up at the secret room in front of him, Ye Bai put the token into the door slot.
"Boom!"
After half a ring, the closed door in front of me slowly opened.
Taking the token out of the door slot, Ye Bai stepped into the secret room.
The secret room was very simple, a stone bed, a Dan furnace, and other than that, there was nothing.
Ye Bai didn't mind, after all, he just came to refine the pill.
"But this is a good place for cultivators to practice fire-based exercises!"
Feeling the fire aura floating in the air, Ye Bai muttered.
"Let's start refining the elixir!"
He took out the jade cylinder he had obtained from the disciple at the counter and pasted it in his mind, and soon, a series of fire control techniques appeared in front of him.
A moment later.
After Ye Bai memorized the magic trick, he began to manipulate the underground fire veins.
"Up!"
Controlling the flames of the fire vein is also very simple, and after practicing it a few times at will, you will become familiar with it.
After mastering the fire control technique, Ye Bai took out the herbs from the storage bag.
Ye Bai planned to refine the Bigu Dan, which was a non-compliant elixir, and was specially designed for alchemy apprentices to practice.
Because it was the first time for Ye Bai to refine the pill, he was not in a hurry, starting from simple and slowly improving his proficiency.
Wrapped in herbs with mana, he headed for another crater.
"Up!"
As soon as the magic trick was pinched, flames erupted from the mouth of the fire, and Ye Bai hurriedly concentrated, not daring to be careless.
This is also the first step in alchemy, which extracts the spiritual liquid from the herbs.
Don't look simple, but it's very difficult to do, because this is very particular about the alchemist's grasp of the flame, the fire is big, so easy to even evaporate the extracted spiritual liquid, and if the fire is small, then the spiritual liquid can't be extracted.
It was just a short stick of incense, Ye Bai was already sweating, and his heart was in a trance.
"Oops!"
When Ye Bai came back to his senses, the fire was too big, and the herbs were already burned.
"Rustle!"
"Failed!"
Ye Bai showed a wry smile, and threw it out casually, and a burst of charred black as carbon sprinkled on the ground.
"Go on!"
Although the first time failed, Ye Bai was not discouraged, but started the second extraction.
After the first time, the second time was much better.
On Ye Bai's side, there were several utensils, which contained extracted medicinal liquids.
"It worked!"
After extracting the last herb, Ye Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled.
"Boom!"
Lift the lid of the Dan furnace and pour the extracted liquid into the Dan furnace.
"Up!"
As soon as the magic trick was pinched, the flames slowly came out, and the first refining began.
Compared with the extraction of herbs, the flame of refining the pill is more difficult to control, and the magic trick is constantly pinched out to control the temperature of the flame.
Although Ye Bai was engrossed, the first refining still failed, and a burning smell permeated from the Dan furnace.
"The flames are too big!"
Ye Bai muttered and cleaned up the medicinal residue in the Dan furnace, if it was not clean, it would even interfere with the second refining.
Summing up the failure of the first time, Ye Bai began the second refining, and the flames slowly rose again.
