Chapter 138: Medicine
Bidding farewell to the enthusiastic You Ling, Xu Mu continued to walk through the spirit city.
This time, of course, he clearly had a purpose.
I bought a Ding furnace for refining pills, which was the worst quality, but it was more than enough for the medicine boy to use it.
There are also some low-level elixir materials. Scattered nearly a hundred spirit stones were spent.
Touching the storage bag, which had obviously shrunk a lot, Xu Mu's expression showed a hint of bitterness.
This Spirit Market is indeed a good place, as long as you have enough spirit stones, you can buy anything you need.
However, the spirit stone is also like flowing water to use.
This is half a day's effort, and his value has shrunk by a small half, and Xu Mu's more than 300 spirit stones are gone.
"Although alchemist is a lucrative profession, it also burns money, and I only buy some low-level materials. Standing in the middle of the bustling crowd, Xu Mu took a deep breath and then spit out.
"No wonder, as an alchemist, You Ling still has to come out to set up a stall to sell medicine,"
Looking around between the surrounding monks and stall owners, Xu Mu's eyes showed a look of determination.
"I have a multicolored spirit tree, a wood-level spiritual root, which is already affinity for elixir, and the medicinal properties of the refined elixir will not be weak. ”
"There are also nine ghost fires, and the fire line Xuan-level spiritual root, you don't have to seek earth fire refining medicine like other alchemists. ”
"My biggest advantage is the Nine Characters of Burning Heaven. The top fire path inheritance in the Cangrui Domain. Manipulate the fire of alchemy, like an arm and a finger. ”
"With so many advantages, if I can't become an alchemist, then I can really find a crack to drill into. ”
After talking to himself, Xu Mu's body moved, and he was going to find a place to study the first solution of the Dan Dao.
It is a full three days before the Spirit City Auction Festival, and Wu Xiaoyue will not be out of the customs for the time being, so she is holding this gap and just studying the art of alchemy.
to kill the whole three days.
......
Beyond the fog array in Lingshi, the dry and cracked riverbed stretched for dozens of miles.
The thickest crack was large enough to place a fast horse and run through the cracks of the rift.
It's in the midst of these many cracks. Xu Mu's figure was hidden under one of them.
In Ling City, Xu Mu didn't dare to blatantly refine the pill.
If something goes wrong, it leads to the explosion oven or something, and it attracts the attention of the forces behind Lingshi, but it's not good.
Therefore, outside of Lingshi is definitely the best choice.
And the terrain here is also very hidden.
I don't have to worry that someone will disturb me when I am studying alchemy.
"Whew!" After reading Dan Dao Chu Xie three times in one breath, Xu Mu finally put down the jade slip in his hand.
Then his eyes closed, until every word recorded in the jade slip was clearly counted in his mind and comprehended.
As You Ling said, the first understanding of the Dan Dao is a must-read for monks who are suitable for alchemy.
It clearly records some of the basic techniques of alchemy.
Taking the process of an elixir to an elixir as an example, it can be roughly divided into four stages.
The elixir is placed in the medicine pod, and the fire of refining is controlled to rise as the first stage, and the medicine is entered.
Then it is tempered by spiritual fire and brewed for its medicinal properties as the second stage, fermentation.
The third stage is to remove the coarse essence. Removes impurities from the medicine and leaves the essence of the medicine.
The last step is the most important stage. Cheng Dan!
At every stage, the slightest carelessness will lead to the destruction of the medicinal properties of the elixir in the medicine pod.
Take the first stage of drug administration as an example.
Elixir is not something that can be casually placed in a medicine pod for refining.
There is a prerequisite, that is, the spiritual fire under the medicine pod must be controlled at an appropriate temperature.
If it is too violent, it will cause the elixir to be directly destroyed by the high temperature at the moment of entering the medicine.
It is too weak, and it cannot achieve the effect of stimulating the medicinal properties of the elixir.
If the moment the medicine is entered, the medicinal properties cannot be stimulated, then even if the furnace of elixir is refined, the medicinal properties will be greatly reduced.
The first stage is so difficult, a qualified alchemist must initially master the four stages.
Fang Cai was promoted from a medicine boy to an alchemist.
A qualified alchemist must ensure that after the elixir becomes a pill, it can still preserve the essence of seventy percent of the elixir.
And the medicine boy, as long as he can exert three percent of the medicinal properties, it is enough.
Moreover, the more precious the elixir, the more difficult it is to refine, and the more difficult it is to preserve its medicinal properties.
Therefore, alchemists almost always learn from failures again and again, so as to grow.
To put it bluntly, it's to pile up with elixir!
If you want to create an alchemist, you have to use spirit stones to pile it up.
Of course, an elixir does not have to be an alchemy to take it.
It's just that in the case of not becoming a pill, the medicinal properties that can be absorbed are less than two or three percent, and the remaining seven or eight percent of the medicinal properties will be wasted because they cannot be absorbed.
It is precisely because of this that the alchemist has such a transcendent status.
"This time, I bought a full 500 Bigu Spiritual Rice and 300 Petrified Grass. Bigu Dan and Shifu Grass are both the most basic alchemy materials. ”
"Even though it was the most rudimentary material, it cost me a full eighty spirit stones. I don't know how many pieces of these materials will be able to become Dan after they are exhausted. ”
The medicine pod purchased in the Spirit City was taken out of the storage bag by Xu Mu, who was holding a Bigu Spirit Rice and muttering to himself.
"Poof!" A cluster of faint blue flames rose from under the medicine pod under Xu Mu's control, emitting two completely different temperatures: hot and cold.
His eyes, unblinking, looked at this cluster of light, extremely focused.
A moment later, the medicine pod was already under the scorching heat of the Nine Shadows Fire, and the bottom was burned red, spreading out a high temperature that burned the skin.
Xu Mu, who saw the opportunity, immediately spread out his palm, and the Bigu Lingdao in his palm was gently thrown, ready to fall into the Ding furnace.
"Boom!" The fire flashed, and the Bigu Spirit Rice was directly burned to ashes by the terrifying high temperature.
The smell of burnt medicine spreads out from the medicine pod.
Twitching his nose, Xu Mu looked extremely embarrassed.
"It seems too fierce!"
He didn't think that he could do it just right the first time he took the medicine.
Therefore, not discouraged.
With a slap of his palm, the storage bag was held, and another Bigu Spirit Rice was held in his hand.
In the silent cracks, firelight flashed frequently, and one after another Bigu Spirit Rice was burned to ashes under the control of Xu Mu's mistake.
Until more than forty primary elixirs were destroyed.
Xu Mu was a real success, and the first Bigu Ling Rice was put into medicine.
Looking at the Bigu Spirit Rice in the medicine tripod, which was roasted by the high temperature and emitted a stream of medicinal fragrance, Xu Mu's expression flashed with excitement.
The next moment, Xu Mu, who was emotionally excited, was careless and did not restrain the terrifying high temperature of the Nine Shadows Fire.
"Boom!"
The Bigu Spirit Rice that he successfully entered the medicine for the first time has followed in the footsteps of the previous elixirs.
"I'm so anxious!" Xu Mu sighed deeply as he looked at the ashes that had been piled up next to the medicine tripod with a blank expression.
Sure enough, if you specialize in Dan Dao, you still have to have the guidance of a famous teacher, and you can avoid many detours.
It's too powerless to grope alone.
With a depressed mood, Xu Mu slowly closed his eyes and went through the intensity of the Nine Shadows Fire fire when he had just entered the medicine.
His eyes had just reopened, this time with a strong sense of confidence.
