Chapter 112: Alchemy Room

Just the matter of preheating the Dan Furnace took two days for the dialect, and this is still the alchemy inheritance of the Qingyang Sect that the dialect has obtained, and the divine sense is stronger than that of ordinary monks, otherwise even the basic alchemy of preheating the Dan Furnace cannot be completed. Fang Yan couldn't help but sigh secretly, no wonder the scattered cultivators and small families couldn't produce alchemists, even if they bought a spiritual fire, it would be in vain if no one was willing to teach it.

After completing the first step, Fang Yan began to be eager to try again, ready to find an elixir to refine and see how his alchemy talent was in the actual refining. As for what kind of pill to refine, the dialect has already been considered, so he chose the Qi Refining Pill most commonly used by monks in the Qi refining period, this kind of pill has a large sales volume, and it can be bought and sold in almost every market, if the refining is successful, there is no need to consider the market.

In addition, the refining method of Qi Cultivation Pill is also the simplest, and it belongs to an introductory variety of alchemy. The types of spirit grasses required to refine this elixir are also the least, only four low-level spirit grasses are needed, which is suitable for beginners who are not familiar with refining techniques. The price of several kinds of spirit grass is also very cheap, it is widely distributed in the cultivation world, and it can be bought in almost every market, the most expensive is a low-level spirit grass called Qingshou Wu, which matures in three years, two spirit stones and one plant, and the other three are all big road goods with two or three spirit stones in one piece, and the spirit grass of a qi training pill is only three or four spirit stones, which is also the first choice for beginners in terms of price.

After choosing the elixir to be refined, the next step is to set up an alchemy room. Alchemy is not a simple matter, the whole procedure is very complicated, and there are many tools that need to be used, just the formation setting in the alchemy room requires a lot of thought in dialects. There are also the utensils needed to refine the spirit grass, the bracket for placing the Dan furnace, the wind furnace sink used for quenching and annealing during alchemy, and the place to collect and store the elixir pill, and so on, all of which must be considered in detail and fully prepared, once the refining begins, there will be no time to add them.

Fortunately, Fang Yan received a set of alchemy utensils in the Shuitan Cave Mansion, although it is not complete, a small number of things have been damaged or the aura has been lost and cannot be used, but most of them can still be used, and a small number of items can be searched in the market.

Then Fang Yan began to choose the location of the alchemy room, alchemy is not like making talismans, only a table can be used, but a large space is needed to place a set of utensils, but this one room is too small. Fang Yan simply opened the current room and the next door, and then blocked the original doors and windows with stones, and then sealed them with spells, leaving only a small door to communicate with the next room, so that the current room is used for alchemy, and the other room is placed for elixir and refined elixir.

After some arrangement, it only took a few hours for the dialect to be mastered, and the monk's methods were really fast to do these things. In front of the wall behind the Dan furnace, a row of wooden shelves were placed, on which many bottles and jars were placed, all of which were used to purify elixirs.

On the side of the Dan furnace, the dialect put the wind furnace and other things brought out in the Shuitan Cave Mansion neatly according to the original position, and it is also convenient to take in the formal alchemy. On the other side of the Dan furnace, the dialect opened a water tank, which was filled with spiritual spring water, in fact, this water was only used for quenching and cleaning the Dan furnace, ordinary spring water was sufficient, but the dialect still felt that it was better to use spiritual spring water, as for why he couldn't figure it out.

In front of the other wall, there were two large cupboards, and in the cabinets were placed two spare magic weapon pill furnaces, both of which were only medium-grade, and all the other places were empty jade bottles and jade boxes, which were used to hold the refined pills. Fang Yan put the empty bottles and jade boxes that he didn't need in the cupboard, but they still looked a little empty.

In the next room, there are only two rows of wooden shelves placed on both sides against the wall, one row of wooden shelves is specially used to store spare spirit grass, and there are also their own formations on the wooden shelves. The other row of wooden shelves is smaller, and is used to store the whole bottle of alchemy that has been refined, as well as some alchemy items that are not commonly used.

Fang Yan was ready to arrive at the fortress stone fort in a few days, so he went to Fang City to search to see if he could find a suitable magic circle, and then set up the alchemy room. If you have the opportunity, you have to buy another set of closed magic circles, some unexpected things may happen during alchemy, and Fang Yan doesn't want to alarm others, and he doesn't want others to disturb him when he says alchemy, so it's impossible to let Qingluan and Li Fang stay at the door all the time.

As for the remaining few empty rooms, Fang Yan also made arrangements at this time, one was used as a wine-making room, and then let Li dig a wine cellar under the room, it is already August, and the spirit valley and spirit grass in the spirit field will soon mature, and when the time comes, you can make part of the harvest into spirit wine and sell it in your own shop, which also supports the business of the shop.

There are also a few dialects ready to be used as storage rooms and secret rooms, the scale of the spirit plants on the mountain peaks is getting bigger and bigger, whether it is the items needed or the harvest in the spirit field, the number will be far more than in Luoxia Ridge, there are many harvested spirit grasses that cannot be processed all at once, and there are also some spirit seedlings and seeds on the mountain to be stored, which all need to be built a special storage room, not just stacked in a room.

Then Fang Yan found Qingluan and Li Fang, told them about their plans, and also informed them about the alchemy room, and the two of them were a little numb to his practice of constantly trying some new things, so they didn't say anything to toss him, and after looking at each other, they went to work separately.

Although the alchemy room still lacks some things at this time, it is basically used to refine the low-level pill of Qi Refining Pill, and what is lacking is nothing more than some control arrays, which have a great impact on the quality of the refined pill and the rate of becoming a pill. However, Fang Yan didn't seek to refine many high-quality pills anyway, just to learn alchemy, and he was satisfied if he could successfully refine a furnace.

There are a lot of spiritual herbs for refining qi refining pills, and there are a lot of dialects prepared, all of which are planted in the medicine garden, and there are many elixirs that meet the conditions for alchemy. Fang Yan had been preparing for several years to learn alchemy, and the reserve of elixir had never been interrupted, even when he didn't know anything about the acquisition of spiritual fire, he began to prepare.

In a corner of the medicine garden, Fang Yan squatted down and used his picking technique to pick up the number of ten Qi Cultivation Pills in the garden, then took out ten jade boxes and put them all into it. Fang Yan returned to the alchemy room, took out a piece of spirit grass, first processed all the spirit grasses, and according to the requirements of the Dan Fang, refined a few spirit grasses into medicinal liquid and powder, and then put them into the Dan furnace to refine them into Dan.

Speaking of which, the process of alchemy is so simple, it is just refining some spirit herbs and elixirs into pills, but in fact, the process inside is very complicated. One is that the purpose of alchemy is to allow cultivators to improve their cultivation for use, so the medicinal properties in the elixir must be preserved as much as possible, and these elixirs of different forms and different medicinal properties will not be honestly combined, and the alchemist needs to have special skills.

In addition, alchemy generally requires fire refining, and it is said that there are other different refining methods, the Dan Sutra and several alchemy experiences, and the dialect has also seen some records, there are the so-called water refining method, the heavenly refining method, the heart refining method, the body refining method, etc., most of which are in the ancient resource-rich era, alchemists can squander the elixir at will, in order to expand their thinking and improve their skills, some whimsical ideas at any cost.

As for the effect, the dialect has not been recorded, and it is difficult to say whether there is a inheritance, and who in the current immortal cultivation world will be willing to spend a lot of elixir to verify one of their ideas, and only the ancient monks would do such a crazy thing.

As far as the dialect knows, almost all of the immortal cultivation world now uses spiritual fire to refine the pill, so there will be some loss of the elixir in the refining process, and how to remove the chaff from the essence is the key to testing the level of an alchemist. It is inconceivable to think about the fact that it is necessary to find ways to preserve most of the medicinal properties of the elixir and remove a large number of impurities in it, all of which is done by the alchemists with a flame in their hands.

There is also the fact that the process of alchemy is generally relatively long, and it takes nearly an hour to refine a furnace of pills, and it is possible to refine some complex high-level pills for several days, and it is impossible for an alchemist to refine only one furnace of pills a day, which requires the alchemist's divine consciousness and mana, as well as energy and physical strength, to keep up.

Therefore, alchemists are not so easy to be, regardless of the rarity of the magic fire, it is a big difficulty to really get started, and the improvement of alchemy after the introduction has hit countless monks who are interested in alchemy. No one wants to learn the alchemy technique with great difficulty, and in the end they will only be able to refine the Qi Refining Pill, so what's the point of spending so much effort to practice alchemy.

The dialect that had just come into contact with the matter of alchemy, and had not thought much about it at this time, picked up the jade box containing the medicinal liquid and powder, and began to skillfully preheat the Dan furnace, this step has been practiced many times recently, and now it finally looks quite proficient. After a while, a thin layer of white smoke rose from the mouth of the furnace, and the Dan furnace the size of a wine vat slowly left the ground under the control of the dialect and rose to a position three feet above the ground before coming to a steady stop.

The Xuanling flames outside the furnace all returned to the bottom of the furnace, spitting tongues of fire under the Dan furnace, and Fang Yan carefully controlled the flames, slowly lowering the fire, and only then poured in a small ball of medicinal powder. As soon as he carefully controlled the medicinal powder to slide into the Dan furnace, the flame at the bottom of the furnace shook a few times without paying attention, and a flame jumped up, and the medicinal powder that fell into the Dan furnace turned into green smoke with a "bang".

Looking at the smoke rising from the furnace, Fang Yan shook his head helplessly, originally he thought that although he couldn't refine the pill for the first time, he could at least experience the feeling of alchemy, and combined with the experience of the alchemist he saw in the jade slip, he could improve it slowly, and he could become proficient and improve his level step by step, who would have thought that he would fail before he could start.

These seemingly simple actions just now are actually hidden mysteries, not only testing the proficiency of dialect fire control techniques, but also multi-purpose while controlling the Dan furnace and flames, and every action must be accurate and in place. Such basic knowledge, if the dialect is an alchemist cultivated by a major sect, will be required to start practicing and mastering it as early as a few years ago, and will never wait until the time of alchemy to start learning, and such common sense jade slips are usually not recorded, in their opinion, this is basic common sense, and there is no need to record it at all.

And the dialect is a complete wild road, and I don't know any of these requirements now. After retracting the flame into his body and slowly lowering the Dan furnace, Fang Yan sat quietly on a futon and began to think. Of course, there are reasons for this failure to be unskilled in fire control, but the most important thing is that I can't do two things, and I usually cultivate to develop the habit of having no distractions, and suddenly I have to be distracted to do several things at the same time, which is very uncomfortable psychologically.

There is no way, the matter of alchemy should be put on hold for a while, Fang Yan decided to start by controlling the spiritual fire and the Dan furnace at the same time, practice with two uses, and wait until he is slowly proficient before re-alchemizing, otherwise forcibly starting the refining, it is impossible to succeed for the time being, not to mention for the time being, it will greatly dampen his self-confidence.

In the next two days, Fang Yan came to the alchemy room first, practiced controlling the spiritual fire and the Dan furnace at the same time, and when he was tired, he would go to the spiritual field, while performing the spiritual planting technique, he was still playing with a flame in his hand, in short, he kept doing two things at the same time, and more dialects couldn't do it at all now.

But in the eyes of Qingluan and Li Fang, the dialect seems to be a magic barrier again, and he is doing a good job, why is he playing with a fire in his hand, although I don't know what new things he is tinkering with, but this looks really weird. The next night, after cultivating with the dialect, Qingluan couldn't help it, so he asked in a whisper, who knew that the dialect laughed, but Yunshan Wushu said: "You'll know when you eat my things in the future." ”
