Chapter 70, Is this alchemy?
Hearing the county lord announce the start of the alchemist conference, everyone present cheered.
They have been waiting for this event for a long time!
Standing in the audience, Qi Guanyan looked at the young people on the high platform and smiled slightly, "Come on, send the medicine refining tools, and then let's start, let me see the level of medicine refining of the young generation in our county!"
As soon as Qi Guanyan's voice fell, a group of servants in dark cyan robes rushed up from the stage, each carrying a pair of metal shelves in their hands, and on these metal shelves, bottles of crystal containers hung on them, jingling as they walked.
When Chang Yunluo saw this scene, he was so stunned.
Shouldn't medicine refining be a tall thing like an alchemy furnace? What do you mean by giving me the whole chemical equipment?
Chang Yunluo tried his best to complain, but things didn't change because of his complaint, a pair of standard chemical equipment had come to him, and the light reflected on the crystal made his eyes a little painful, and even his skull was a little painful.
Turning around and looking around, learning from the person next to him to open the metal shelf, Chang Yunluo found that in this metal shelf, there were a lot of medicinal materials placed, such as Earth Spirit Grass, Xueling Flower, Hu Xuehua, and Mortal Beast Flesh and Blood... , From the first level to the fourth level, there are a little bit of herbs of all kinds, and on the other side of the medicinal materials, Chang Yunluo saw the bright stone that he called the 'Flame Stone'.
"How should these things be used? Is it the same as in high school, using the method of experimentation?" Chang Yunluo observed for a while, and was a little puzzled, what he learned on the alchemist skill scroll was to refine these things in the alchemy furnace, like using this thing, it was the first time!
Before Chang Yunluo could figure it out, Qi Guanyan's voice came out first: "In the first round of the competition, I tested your extraction of medicinal materials, on these metal shelves, I arranged a lot of medicinal materials, you can choose an extract at will, after the extraction, put the silver-white test rod on the platform into your extraction." ”
"Also, there is a small hourglass in my hand, if, after the sand of my hourglass is drained, you have not finished extracting, it also means that you have been eliminated!"
"Do you understand?" Qi Guanyan shook the small hourglass in his hand and asked.
"Understood!" shouted in unison, and the scene suddenly became lively.
"Alright, let's get started now!"
After hearing the 'start', a group of people hurriedly moved, and they all urged the bright stone in the metal platform to use blood qi, and one after another flames rose up, and the violent high temperature instantly raised the temperature above the high platform to a higher level.
Chang Yunluo saw that the flames around him were rising, so he squinted and peeked at the person next to him to see how he operated it, and then, according to the method he had just peeked into, he also ignited the bright stone, but the sudden flames frightened Chang Yunluo.
Chang Yunluo's series of operations have long made the melon-eating crowd in the audience laugh from ear to ear, and some people have watched the alchemist conference in the county four or five times, but there is really no such thing as Chang Yunluo.
"Is this kid here to be funny? he can't even use the Light Stone!"
"Is it an alchemist, is it a profligate man?"
And among those family heads, a hint of snickering also kept ringing out, obviously, it was the first time they had seen this kind of scene, after all, even if they found a 'stand-in' to participate in this conference, it would not be like this, even the light stone was set on fire to peep at other people, this contestant is not here to be funny.
Compared with these relaxed freehand, Fang Wangyi, who was among these family heads, was a little restless, he originally thought that Chang Yunluo was a very powerful character, but he didn't expect him to be a parallel import! Looking at the county lord's embarrassed and puzzled face in the face of the old man, Fang Wangyi felt that his family was going to bleed heavily this time.
"Boy, the alchemist in your county is not very good!" The old man obviously saw Chang Yunluo's performance, turned his head and sneered at Qi Guanyan, and said.
"Father-in-law, this~ cough" Qi Guanyan was also a little embarrassed when he heard the old man ask like this, but he was also puzzled in his heart, he still remembered the performance of this young man in the gambling treasure hall yesterday, he should not be the kind of self-deprecating and boring character.
"What are you coughing up, I'm going to show me this? Oh, girl, you are light, grandpa's old bones have been crushed by you!"
"Grandpa, don't say Daddy!" Qi Jiao'er saw that the old man still wanted to continue to scold Qi Guanyan, so she pinched the old man's shoulder hard and shouted.
"Okay, okay, can't grandpa stop talking?!" the old man patted the little hand on his shoulder, smiled bitterly, and said.
"Hmph, that's pretty much it!" Qi Jiao'er raised her head with a smile and winked at this Qi Guanyan.
"Father-in-law, it's not like there aren't any good players, look at the one over there. Qi Guanyan saw that the old man's anger was slightly extinguished by his own daughter, so he hurriedly pointed to the person he saw and said.
The old man looked at Qi Guanyan's fingers, a handsome man with red lips and white teeth, holding various crystal medicine bottles, dancing flexibly, the medicinal materials he selected were being extracted rapidly, and the essence of the medicinal herbs concentrated drop by drop was as crystal clear as a gem in his hands, and it seemed that the purity of the extraction was extremely high!
"Well, this is good, extracting this fourth-level spirit grass is so proficient, it seems to be a good seedling!" the old man stroked his beard and smiled, still quite satisfied.
Seeing that the old man's anger had completely subsided, Qi Guanyan was also relieved and refocused his gaze on the high platform.
As the competition progressed slowly, Chang Yunluo gradually figured out how to use these chemical equipment to extract medicinal materials by peeking at other people's extraction methods.
In the orthodox alchemy method, extraction is the simplest, most basic, and most important link, extracting the ingredients in the medicinal materials, is the most basic guarantee for refining the good and bad of the elixir, so to speak, the purer the extracted medicinal ingredients, then the Dan rate will be greatly improved, and at the same time, the quality of the elixir will also be greatly improved.
Therefore, there are many ways to extract the ingredients of the medicinal liquid, and generally the alchemist uses the three of the Dan furnace, the flame, and the alchemist's spiritual power (thoughts, spiritual thoughts, etc.) to extract the ingredients in the medicinal materials, and the ingredients extracted in this way are very pure.
However, with this alchemist conference, it is obviously not possible.
First of all, there is no Dan furnace here, secondly, the flame temperature provided by this bright stone is not very high, and finally, these so-called alchemists, the highest level is only a third-level warrior, where can there be a conscious existence. You must know that the idea is a thing that can only be possessed by a magician above the sixth level! There are very few people like Chang Yunluo who have an idea inexplicably.
As a result of these reasons, these people can only use these chemical equipment to extract medicinal materials and refine medicinal liquids.
But Chang Yunluo is different, he has obtained orthodox alchemist skills, which makes him feel very confused in the face of such an extraction method, just like a chef came to a desert island, where people cook with some strange things to stir-fry, for a chef who has never seen this kind of tool, how can he make delicious and delicious meals?
Fortunately, Chang Yunluo, the chef, knows how to learn, and after studying for a while, he also began to clumsily use various equipment, but, for the sake of insurance, Chang Yunluo did not dare to extract high-grade medicinal materials this time, and took a second-level medicinal material with his backhand and began to extract it.
Chang Yunluo held the crystal blade in his hand, carefully and forcefully, cutting the medicinal materials into strips according to a certain proportion, in order to achieve a better proportional effect, he did not hesitate to use the power of his mind to probe into it, and carefully observed before placing the knife.
After cutting, transfer the medicinal herbs to a crystal beaker, and use his mind to sense the heat released by the bright stone, at its most suitable temperature, Chang Yunluo quickly placed the beaker on the flame released by the bright stone, and then put a loophole-like thing on the top of the beaker, so that the steam generated by the heat of the medicinal materials was introduced into the condensing cup.
Gradually, drop by drop, the crystal clear liquid droplets dripped down and gradually converged in the condensing cup.
Chang Yunluo didn't dare to slack off, and followed the change of temperature closely with his mind, in case the production of extracted impurities due to temperature imbalance, after all, he had never refined medicine, let alone used this kind of chemical equipment to refine medicine, everything was learned secretly, and he couldn't rely on experience.
··· ···
As time passed, Chang Yunluo, who had focused all his attention on the medicinal herbs, woke up with a dazed face.
At this time, his face was covered with dust caused by the burning of the bright stone, which looked dirty, coupled with the blank expression on his face, the whole person showed a funny appearance, which caused the people on and off the stage to laugh.
"Brother Chang won't have never refined medicine. Fang Xuelan in the audience was a little worried about Chang Yunluo's performance from the beginning, but she never said it, and now seeing Chang Yunluo's appearance, she still couldn't help but say something.
"I haven't practiced it. Qing Ling's little face flushed, although she believed in her young master, but she really hadn't seen Chang Yunluo refining medicine, and now seeing Chang Yunluo's performance, she was also a little flustered in her heart.
"I hurt Brother Chang. Fang Xuelan felt a trace of guilt in her heart, if Chang Yunluo didn't even survive the first round, going to the battlefield would be a sure thing.
"It's okay, sister, I'm sure the young master will get good grades. Qing Ling shook Fang Xuelan's hand and said, I don't know if she was comforting Fang Xuelan or cheering herself up.
"Well, hopefully. Fang Xuelan sighed and didn't say anything more.
