Chapter 51: Refining Tsukidan
After returning from Zhao Yangzhi, Zhang Xiaomai immediately returned to the cave to retreat and devote himself to refining Zhuji Dan.
The alchemy method of the Five Elements Gate is easy to learn and difficult to master, and every disciple will be taught at the beginning, almost everyone will, but the alchemy technique is secondary, mainly depending on the talent, among them, the disciples of the fire spirit root have a great advantage, and their alchemy, the success rate is much higher than that of the other four sects.
From the look on Zhao Yangzhi's face, Zhang Xiaomai could roughly guess his thoughts, he just looked down on his alchemy, thinking that it was just a waste of materials, and even what he wanted to refine, the other party didn't bother to ask.
But these Zhang Xiaomai didn't bother to pay attention, everyone else can lack raw materials, but he doesn't have to worry about this problem at all, what kind of medicinal materials, whether it is a living spirit grass or a dead dried medicinal material, put it in his own hands, as long as one is enough to grow it in large quantities, after all, we have space for the fairy garden.
Now, in Zhang Xiaomai's space, there are at least a thousand copies of each of the forty-seven materials for refining Zhuji Dan, and even if Zhang Xiaomai's alchemy efficiency is low, it is enough for him to become a Dan dozens of times.
Preparing a sufficient amount of waste spirit vines, Zhang Xiaomai lit a flame under the Qingfeng furnace, and clusters of flames suddenly rose under the Dan furnace, the scorching energy quickly dispersed, and the surrounding temperature immediately rose.
The fuel for alchemy is best with dried thorn vines, this kind of thing, Zhang Xiaomai grabbed a handful of them casually, what did we start with, isn't it this kind of thing, don't dare to say anything else, just say thorns, the inventory of the entire Five Elements Gate is not as much as Zhang Xiaomai's.
With a twist of his wrist, Zhang Xiaomai stretched out his palm and grabbed a flying dragon grass, and threw it into the flames with a very skillful movement.
As soon as the flying dragon grass came into contact with the flames, it immediately shrank together, turning into a small mass of crimson gelatin, emitting a faint fragrance.
The palm of his hand trembled slightly, Zhang Xiaomai used the magic technique to pour the power of the fight into it, and the crimson gelatin was immediately flattened into a flat piece, suspended above the flames, emitting a dazzling light.
Zhang Xiaomai is focused and meticulous......
The temperature above the flames was getting higher and higher, and the air around them was getting hotter and hotter, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Zhang Xiaomai's forehead.
At this time, suddenly the red gum suddenly turned brown from the center of the flame, and then, as if by magic, the brown spots on the entire gum immediately expanded, spread rapidly, and soon engulfed all the red.
Zhang Xiaomai's face became cautious, and experience told him that this was the critical moment of alchemy, and at this time, the success or failure of alchemy could be decided, and it was not a little sloppy.
It's just that at this time, there was a muffled sound in front of Zhang Xiaomai, and the Flying Dragon Grass immediately turned into a pile of black powder, emitting a burnt smell.
failed, Zhang Xiaomai couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Although he was mentally prepared enough, when this moment really came, Zhang Xiaomai still felt very regretful, but although Zhang Xiaomai was a little disappointed, he was not depressed.
After resting for a moment to calm his mind, Zhang Xiaomai began the second refining.
......
The whole gum turned brown, Zhang Xiaomai nodded slightly, and then flicked the index finger of his left hand, and the powder of the medicinal herbs was evenly sprinkled on it.
There was an immediate sneering sound in the flames, and the medicinal power of the herbs was quickly turned into a piece of gelatin, and the entire gum slowly began to change from brown to purple.
The red flames continued to burn, and a piece of gelatin, which was originally only the size of a palm, had now become only the size of a palm, and the magazine was burned to ashes little by little, falling to the ground.
The purple gum glows faintly in the white flames, making it look mysterious.
There was another scorching, and the purple gum became brighter and brighter, and when their brightness reached its peak, Zhang Xiaomai quickly grabbed a small demon ginseng, squeezed out the juice in it, and poured it on the purple gum.
......
Half an hour later, the result was unexpected, still a failure.
The third time, failed.
Fourth, failure.
Fifth, sixth, seventh...... For the thirtieth time, still failing!
The room had become scorching, the temperature had risen considerably, and the smell of burnt paste was everywhere.
Ordinary disciple alchemy, at this time, would have collapsed a long time ago, because the value of the elixir used was too expensive, and it was already far beyond the scope of a person's bearing, even if it was a giant sect in the cultivation realm, it could not tolerate such a waste of medicinal materials under the sect.
But Zhang Xiaomai is different, not just two medicinal materials, there are still in the master space.
With the increase in the number of failures, Zhang Xiaomai's alchemy techniques have also become a lot more proficient, but looking at the various sects, he is the only one who uses this method to improve the level of alchemy.
Thirty-first.
Zhang Xiaomai's control of the flame has reached the point of perfection, but the power of the flame has not reached the ideal strength due to the limitation of skill, but the medicinal power of the forty-seven medicinal materials has been continuously decomposed and fused, and the color embodied has been infinitely close to success.
Finally, boom!
There was an explosion like a firecracker in the Qingfeng furnace, and then Zhang Xiaomai's surroundings were full of flames, and white smoke enveloped his whole body, making it impossible to see his body clearly......
When the smoke cleared, a purple elixir appeared above Zhang Xiaomai's palm, and a pungent aroma came to his face.
Tsukidan, it's done!
The round Tsukidan shimmered with purple luster and sent out a psychic tremor in the air.
Although he has failed thirty times, Zhang Xiaomai still feels very excited.
At the same time, Zhang Xiaomai's aura control and understanding have also increased a few points compared to before, and the aura level that has reached the peak of qi refining coupled with superb aura control ability, Zhang Xiaomai's current strength is already a demon among the disciples in the qi refining period, and the opponent in the early stage of building the foundation is basically a steady victory, even against the opponent in the middle stage of the foundation building, it is not without the power of a battle.
Of course, a Zhuji Dan is far from enough for himself, with his own talent, if he wants to build a successful foundation, he must at least prepare a little, and after the excitement, Zhang Xiaomai continued to practice.
......
Three days later, in front of Zhang Xiaomai, there were already more than 30 Cheng Dan of Zhuji Dan, and beside him, there was already a pile of alchemy waste, but with the preciousness of Zhuji Dan, even the entire Five Elements Gate, there was not so much inventory, Zhang Xiaomai could already be called a rich and invincible faction in Zhuji Dan now.
After preparation, Zhang Xiaomai cleaned up the waste, then swallowed a Cheng Dan, and then sat cross-legged in place and began to absorb the medicinal power.
