Text Chapter 187: Refining Medicine
In the afternoon of the same day, at the end of the three-stage competition in the fifth stage of the thirty-two to the top sixteen, only Le Qi successfully advanced to the top 16, and he had no intention of abstaining directly as he said, while Fan Huan, after trying his best to fight a game, still lost the game.
It can be said that the Black Forest Empire has reached the terminal in the Northern Continent League, because the only remaining Le Qi will also abstain in the next game, after all, if it weren't for the fool of Yan Qin in this game, he would have abstained, he is not a person who likes to swagger.
............
The next day, in a closed stone room that was not too spacious. The stone chamber has no windows, only a heavy stone door, and the walls and roof are made of a single monolithic block of gray-brown rock, which is extremely strong. And on that stone door, there is also a mechanism formation, and after it is closed from the inside, it is difficult for the outside to enter.
Inside the stone room, because of the sealing, the light is not very good, if it were not for the soft white light emitted by the dark lamps placed around it and the fire in the center, I am afraid that it would be so dark that I could not see my fingers.
At this time, on several low stone benches in the stone room, there were three young people, shining on their faces by the flickering fire beside them, which were the three of Le Qi, Yan Wuyi and Fan Fan. And the stone chamber where they were was was prepared to make potions.
Don't underestimate this stone chamber, which is no more than seven or eight meters long and wide, it has no intention of renting it for fifty purple pulp a day!
Actually, the stone chamber has a more accurate name: Lian Pharmacy. From the name, it is not difficult to guess that its purpose is to refine medicine.
The vast majority of alchemists belong to a top force on the Xuanxu Continent, the Alchemist Alliance, an alliance composed of countless alchemists.
The Alchemist Alliance is not the same as the Five Super Forces, it is a functional neutral Super Force, it does not belong to a certain force, but it serves all forces. Among them, except for a few alliance leaders and some extremely high-level management, the rest of the people can belong to other forces at the same time. In other words, a person from the Ice Palace can also join the Alchemist Alliance, and there will be no conflict between the two identities.
Since its establishment, the Alchemist Alliance has remained neutral and has never been attached to any force, including the five superpowers. And no force dares to fight the idea of the Alchemist Alliance. Of course, there is another functional super force on the continent that is similar to the Alchemist Alliance, and that is the Alchemist Alliance, which is composed of countless forgers.
To get back to the point, why does such a simple stone room cost a high price of fifty purple pulp a day? Le Qi, who didn't understand anything at first, was very puzzled, could it be that the Alchemist Alliance was abducting and deceiving everywhere under the banner of the alchemist?
Later, he learned that this was not the case. There is a reason why the alchemy pharmacy is so expensive, and it has to start with alchemy.
Refining pills, especially refining pills, is a tedious and complicated matter, and it is not surprising that some high-level pills, counting from refining the essence, may take several days. During the period of alchemist's alchemy, there is a need for a quiet area that is undisturbed, so that he can focus on accurately controlling the soul power and doing the best of each step, so that there is a higher success rate, and the elixir refined can have a higher quality.
Therefore, in order to meet this requirement, the Alchemist Alliance used special materials to build this kind of refining pharmacy, its stone walls are not only strong and able to block the noise of the outside world, but more importantly, it can isolate the entry of external soul fluctuations, only
If the stone door is closed, it will be difficult for even a saint to penetrate his soul. Coupled with the strength of the Alchemist Alliance, no one dared to spread wild here, so the alchemy room should be the most suitable place for refining pills.
Yesterday, they had already taken back the elixir essence that had been handed over to the Void Pavilion for refinement. And early the day before yesterday, Yan unintentionally rented this alchemy pharmacy and began to use the essence of life to refine the essence of the flower on the other side.
In the center of the alchemy, there is a special furnace dedicated to refining potions, the height of the furnace can be adjusted, the highest can be up to one meter, the lowest, can be controlled at about one foot, and its size can also be adjusted.
The furnace for refining medicine is very different from the furnace in the ordinary kitchen, and the biggest difference is that there are several large semi-closed cylindrical containers around the furnace wall, which pass into the furnace.
So, what is the function of these cylindrical containers? It is said that this is the key point of the function of the alchemy furnace.
You must know that although refining elixirs is far less complicated than refining pills, as long as there are conditions, even non-alchemists like them can refine them.
But on the whole, refining pharmaceuticals is not an easy task, and the conditions are equally harsh. From the first step of refining the essence, it can be seen that either the alchemist is invited to refine it, or it is extracted by heat method in the most primitive method like they do.
In the next step, refining the elixir requires the alchemist to use flames to perfectly fuse the essence with the Xuanjing, and the elixir, although this step is omitted to the greatest extent, also requires a fairly high temperature to concentrate and fuse these essences.
So, how can a person who is not an alchemist at all get the high temperature obtained by using his own fire attribute Xuan Qi like an alchemist?
There is a common sense involved here, high temperature, in addition to the Xuan Qi from the fire attribute, the easiest way, of course, is combustion. From the very beginning of primitive times, humans have mastered the use of high temperatures produced by combustion to process food.
Many substances in nature can be burned, such as trees, dead grass and some minerals, and people have given them a common name, fuel.
Different fuels burn at different temperatures, which can be so low that even water can't boil, and the same can exceed the boiling lava.
In addition, the temperature of many of these substances during combustion will be limited to a certain range, neither high nor low. As a result, this knowledge was used to create fuels at various temperatures, solving the problem that non-alchemists could not provide high temperatures for refining medicines. The cylindrical container on the alchemy furnace is the container for filling fuel.
Of course, in the world of alchemy, those fuels that are specifically used for refining have more elegant names and excipients. Therefore, the cylindrical container on the alchemy furnace is also called the auxiliary furnace, also known as the temperature column.
There are many kinds of accessories, among which most of them are wood-based accessories, and the accessories are also good and bad. However, the criterion for judging its quality is not the temperature level, but the range of temperature, the narrower the range, the more accurate, the better the quality, and the more expensive the price.
Take the excipients used by Leqi and others this time, even if they are good excipients, the temperature range is extremely narrow. But good things are expensive, and this is the eternal truth of the world. Just such a section, an excipient with a diameter of two inches and a height of half a foot is worth five purple marrow!
People who may not understand it will think that it is not too expensive, but when he first heard this number, Le Qi also thought so, isn't it just five purple cedony?
The elixir of thousands of purple pith in the past, five purple pith is nothing.
It is true that five purple pulp is not too much, but it should be noted that a section of excipients is worth five purple marrow! and a section of excipients can be burned for an hour. And an auxiliary furnace can only control the three-inch-high range of the alchemy furnace. This time for refining medicine, a total of four auxiliary furnaces were activated!
That is to say, in one hour, four stages of auxiliary materials have to be burned, that is, twenty purple piding, and twelve hours a day, that is two hundred and forty purple pice! Now, just extracting the essence of the flower on the other side, they have burned for more than twenty hours in a row, in other words, they have burned hundreds of purple picedony!
Upon hearing this information, Le Qi's mouth was so wide that he could even stuff a duck egg, what the hell! The money for burning nearly two seventh-order elixirs in two days?! Is this excipient made of elixir!
In addition, a small period of excipients can be burned for an hour, that is because the container containing the excipients is also a low-grade space container, in fact, the real volume of the excipients inside is still not small. Moreover, if you return this container, you can exchange one for one purple pulp.
Of course, this is a first-class quality excipient, and the price is of course expensive, but some medium excipients are nearly an order of magnitude less expensive. But obviously, now that he only has the other side of the flower and doesn't care about the money, how can he risk affecting the quality of the medicine in order to save a few dollars!
Le Qi looked at the metallic cylindrical vessel in the alchemy furnace that was completely surrounded by pure beige flames, and there were two other flowers soaked in the essence of life that had been quenched seven times.
The cylindrical container is called Yaozun, which is mainly used for the boiling of medicines, which can be completely sealed, or it can be opened to volatile gases. At this time, it was said that it was not intended to be used as a container for extracting the essence of the flower on the other side.
After a period of waiting, Yan Yiyi, who was sitting on the stone bench, turned his head to look at the wall clock on the wall, nodded, and said to the two: "The time is up, a full twenty-five hours, and it is finally good." ”
With that, he turned off the stove, which was about to burn out. After waiting for a while, under Le Qi's surprised gaze, he touched the Medicine Venerable Mechanism, and gently opened a mouth, and in an instant, a large amount of gas with a thick and refreshing gas poured out, and then, he took out a jade bottle from the Void Ring, quickly opened the cork, and poured the jade-colored slurry liquid inside into it, and then, he quickly closed the Medicine Venerable.
Seeing this, Le Qi asked suspiciously, "What did you add to it?"
Hearing this, Yan said unintentionally: "The essence extracted by the Yin Yang Goblin is to completely lock the essence of the other side flower that is integrated into the essence of life in the liquid. After thinking about it, he took out a book that was not too thick from the Void Ring, handed it to Le Qi, and motioned for him to open it and take a look.
After taking the book, Le Qi was surprised to find that the touch of this book was different from the touch of ordinary paper, and it was warm and moist when I started, and I don't know what material it was made of.
On the cover, there are three big golden characters of "Divine Soul Medicine". Smiling slightly, Le Qi thought to himself, the name is domineering, but I don't know what the content is. Holding it in one hand, I opened it and looked at it, only to see that it was written:
"Super Eighth-Order Elixir: The Flower of the Other Side
Eighth-order elixir: Dragon Whisker Silver Ring Ginseng, Yin Yang Goblin, Xuanwu Demon Holy Vajra Shell, Qingyue White Pleated Silver Lotus Seed
