Chapter 318: The Difficulty of Alchemy
The entire Dan furnace seemed to be stimulated with power, and a surging fiery aura permeated, which suddenly made the beautiful eyes of the Qingqiu Fairy glare: "Top-grade Heavenly Spirit Treasure?"
"It's a pity! The first time I refined the Dan Furnace, the technique was still a little better after all, and the process of smelting and shaping was okay, but the burning of the magic circle sigil was not too perfect. Otherwise, the quality of this Dan furnace will be better, and it can reach the top-grade level of the top-grade Houtian Spirit Treasure," looking at the Dan furnace with a restrained light and a slightly dark red body, Li Xiaofeng shook his head with a little regret.
The Qingqiu Fairy couldn't help but be a little speechless when she heard this, refining a top-grade acquired spirit treasure, but she still thought that the refining was not good enough? You know, in the same grade, the acquired spirit treasure may be slightly inferior to the power of the innate spirit treasure, but it can be regarded as the same level, otherwise it would not be called a spirit treasure. The value of a top-grade acquired spirit treasure does not need to be doubted at all.
Even the Qingqiu Fairy, the best spirit treasure in his hand is just a top-grade innate spirit treasure. Because the best innate spirit treasure is too rare, generally speaking, even if it is a relatively powerful Da Luo Jin Immortal, if you can have a few high-grade spirit treasures of good quality, even if you have a rich family background.
Comparatively speaking, what are the few pieces of innate ore of good quality that Li Xiaofeng consumed? Only when raw materials are turned into finished products can they create several times or even more than ten times or even higher value.
"Although this Dan furnace is slightly flawed, it is also a top-grade acquired spirit treasure level anyway, and it is enough for alchemy," Li Xiaofeng, who said with a smile, took out some Lingzhi Immortal Grass to prepare for alchemy.
Think about it, even if the disciples of those saints in later generations can have so many three or two high-grade spiritual treasures of good quality, they are generally not small, but it is conceivable that the alchemy furnace they use is not bad if they can be on the grade of the spiritual treasure, and the high-grade spiritual treasure pill furnace is definitely a rare thing.
Even if it is Lao Tzu Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace, the gossip furnace is estimated to be at the level of the best spiritual treasure at most. Therefore, a high-grade Lingbao Dan furnace is more than enough for Li Xiaofeng today.
In the future, refining top-grade elixirs or other things, with innate treasures such as Qiankun Ding, Li Xiaofeng is not worried at all that there will be no good Dan furnace available.
Alchemy is a meticulous job, unlike refining, which is relatively simple as only refine, cast rough embryos, and burn formation routines. As for alchemy, it also needs to be refined, and the key is how the essence energy of the refined Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass is fused with each other, so as to refine the elixir with magical effects.
This alchemy is by no means as simple as rubbing together some of the energy essence of Lingzhi Immortal Grass, if you really want to do that, you may have to fry it immediately. Because different energies are mutually exclusive, even conflicting. Just like the pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine, the ratio and amount of medicinal materials need to be just right in order to exert the best and most needed medicinal effect.
Therefore, we have to ponder, how can the energy essence of these Ganoderma lucidum fairy herbs be fused without rejecting conflicts? How can they be fused better? Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the monarch and the minister, and alchemy also has this truth. Medication requires a prescription, and alchemy also requires a prescription. What is the Dan Fang, it not only needs to explain the medicinal materials needed to refine the pill, but also needs to explain in detail the grasp of the heat in the refining process, the order of the Lingzhi Immortal Grass, the places that need to be paid attention to when fusing the Lingzhi Immortal Grass Energy Essence, and the order of fusion, and many other aspects. It can be said that it is a delicate process. Maybe if something goes wrong in one place, it will be refined, and the Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass will be wasted.
In other words, alchemy is a more delicate and complex art than alchemy. A real alchemist is all a master who doesn't know how much Lingzhi Immortal Grass has been refined in order to slowly cultivate exquisite alchemy techniques. The successful refining of an elixir requires a pill prescription. And the formation of a Dan Fang requires chance, luck, and trying, so to speak, a Dan Fang is a great miracle that has been created.
This is not an exaggeration at all! Don't look at the second generation of disciples of any saint in the later generations, all of them have healing elixirs, and they seem to be many gods, but how many kinds of elixirs have you seen them use? That is, healing wounds, healing poisons, all kinds of strange elixirs or something, there are absolutely none.
That is to say, they are all used in the big road, common among the immortals, and those healing elixirs are all a pill prescription that has been spread. The reason why it is so precious is probably because their alchemy level is limited, and it is not easy to refine a furnace of pills, so they use it.
Who doesn't know that the elixir produced by Taishang Laojun is all of the finest products, and the Nine Turns Golden Pill that can make mortals directly become immortal monks can be described as famous. However, Taishang Laojun wants to cultivate, so how much energy does he have to specialize in studying pills? He may have a lot of pills in his hand, but how many can he have? Just make some that is enough, how many people will not practice all day long to study this?
And more monks, they can do alchemy, that is, they have learned a pill formula, learn some basic methods and techniques of alchemy, and will not ponder in depth, unless they are very interested in alchemy, but there are definitely very few such people. Therefore, we have seen that many monks have spent a lot of time and effort refining a furnace of elixir, and the yield is pitifully low? Why?
So don't look at it, a monk basically refines some pills, but in fact, he is ruining the Lingzhi Immortal Grass!
In the midst of the desolation, there are very few real alchemy masters! This has also caused a phenomenon, there are few elixirs, which are scarce for some Da Luo Jin Immortals, and ordinary people can hardly see them. Therefore, this elixir has been spread more and more divinely, and it is rare that is expensive!
However, Li Xiaofeng is different from those so-called monks who have learned alchemy and know alchemy. Li Xiaofeng's alchemy, that is really to ponder deeply, to study the principle of alchemy, from the foundation, from the theory, from the root of the method of alchemy.
At the beginning, there was no Danfang, only a general concept, and no guidance from predecessors. I can only figure it out by myself, and I can't help it, I waste the Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass! A real alchemy master, that is, a large amount of Lingzhi fairy grass is consumed.
Seeing Li Xiaofeng wasting pills one by one, the Qingqiu Fairy, who was a little surprised, soon understood that Li Xiaofeng didn't have a pill at all, and he was thinking about it blindly!
"Ahem, I have two pills pondered by our Qingqiu Fox Clan's alchemy cultivators here, although they are relatively simple pills, and the pills they have refined are also very ordinary, but you can use them for reference," Qingqiu Fairy couldn't help but say.
Li Xiaofeng looked at the Qingqiu Fairy with a slight surprise when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that there was still someone in the little Qingqiu Fox Clan who could figure out the Dan Fang? However, Li Xiaofeng naturally would not refuse, he now has no foundation at all, and blind guessing is not a way, it is indeed something that needs to be learned.
After receiving the two jade slips that recorded the Danfang handed over by the Qingqiu Fairy, Li Xiaofeng quickly looked at them with his divine sense. Danfang is simple, the Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass used is relatively small, and the quality is average, but the refining process is really not simple, the key is that there are many details that need to be paid attention to.
Li Xiaofeng could completely imagine how much Lingzhi Immortal Grass the Qingqiu Fox Clan had invested in order to be able to study these two pills. Don't look at the two more ordinary pill pills, but they are the wisdom and brainchild of the Qingqiu Fox Clan's alchemy monks.
A glimpse of the whole leopard, with these two Dan recipes as a reference, Li Xiaofeng personally tried to refine it. Of the two pills, Li Xiaofeng failed eight times and six times respectively before refining them. Of course, with Li Xiaofeng's skillful fire control technique, the old way of refining energy spiritual liquid, and the quality of the Dan furnace, even if the alchemy technique is unfamiliar, the quality of the refined pill is also good. According to the Qingqiu Fairy, among the alchemy cultivators of the entire Qingqiu Fox Clan, there are only a handful of them who can refine such a quality elixir.
With experience, Li Xiaofeng then refined a few more furnaces of pills, and the increase in refining power surprised the Qingqiu Fairy, and the quality of the refined pills became better and better.
Li Xiaofeng, who touched some of the subtleties of alchemy, then abandoned these two pills and began to try to refine them by himself with some ordinary pills. And the result of the attempt, there is no doubt, failure, failure, failure and failure
Alchemy is not so easy! It is not easy to refine according to the Dan formula, let alone pondering and refining by oneself without a head or brain. And if you want to create a pill formula, the understanding of the herbs of Ganoderma lucidum immortals is indispensable, the experience of alchemy is indispensable, the understanding of alchemy and the trace of luck, all of which together have a very small possibility to create a miracle.
