Chapter 3 Scientific Methods for Refining Elixirs

He pondered carefully for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this thing was feasible, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Originally, what he thought of was whether he could apply some of the methods of poison control in his previous life to alchemy.

Alchemy, to put it bluntly, is to refine various herbs and other raw materials together according to a certain formula. And after these raw materials are mixed together and refined, why they will be refined into pills with different effects, the world does not know much about this phenomenon, and only knows how to follow the map and follow the wooden tablet.

Based on his own experience, Li Feng knew that alchemy would never be so simple, and there must be some truth in it.

It is possible that alchemy is a process of a series of reactions. This is not an imagination, this alchemy, mixing several raw materials together, putting them in the Dan furnace and heating them at high temperatures, the substances in various raw materials are released and react, and this becomes a Dan.

Li Feng lightly slapped his palm, a little excited in his heart.

He kept thinking. Assuming that your idea is right, the process of alchemy is a series of reactions between substances. Then, there must be one or several ingredients in the pill, which are the active ingredients of the pill.

If there are more active ingredients of this kind, then the grade of the pill will be very high, and this is a medium-grade or even high-grade pill.

If there are fewer active ingredients in the elixir, it can only be a low-grade elixir. Even, when the active ingredient is so small that it reaches a certain limit, then it is a waste pill, announcing the alchemist's alchemy failure.

Look, Li Feng can explain all this perfectly with his own theory.

Because Li Feng knew that in this world, even the best alchemist could not succeed in alchemy every time.

Ten times they have made alchemy, at least four or five times they have obtained a waste pill. That's because the reaction, especially the organic reaction, has very strict requirements for various conditions, such as temperature, pressure, concentration and other conditions.

Li Feng's eyes became brighter and brighter, and a voice in his heart shouted: "If the mystery of alchemy is really like this, I will definitely be able to achieve achievements on the way to the Dan Dao." In this world, I can still open up a world of my own to see who else dares to bully me again. ā€

Suddenly, Li Feng shook his head, and his eyes were firmly nailed to the Shengji Pill that he had placed on the table.

"Muscle-building pill...... Whether all this is a fact, or is it my imagination, the success or failure of the Muscle Pill is all up to you. ā€

Li Feng decided to give it a try.

If his conjecture was correct, then he would definitely be able to refine a very high-grade Muscle Pill.

If he tried his best and couldn't refine a high-grade muscle-building pill, then it could only show that all his speculations were a boundless dream.

Li Feng's fate in this world is all on this muscle-building pill.

Success, a smooth road. If you fail, you will never recover.

Therefore, success or failure is a matter of success.

......

Although Li Feng already had a guess about alchemy, even if his guess was correct, it would not be easy to refine a high-grade Muscle Pill.

This kind of concept, after all, was created by him, and there is no experience to learn from at all, and everything must be measured by himself.

Li Feng thought for a long time.

Just now it was refined into a muscle-building pill, which means that there should be no problem with the refining method just now. Through this method, the active ingredient of Muscle Pill can be obtained.

It's just that this refining method has very few active ingredients obtained, so the muscle-building pill just now is destined to be just a primary-level pill.

However, this also fully shows that in the process of alchemy just now, there is a reaction to generate active ingredients, but the amount is very small.

So, why is the amount of active ingredient so low? Is it because there is not enough amount of a certain herb?

Immediately after, Li Feng shook his head, it shouldn't be a matter of the amount of herbs. Since others can refine high-grade pills using this method, it is by no means a matter of the amount of herbs.

What's the problem with that?

Li Feng carefully recalled the entire alchemy process, mashed the herbs, put them in the Dan furnace, added water, lit the furnace fire, heated until the water boiled, and then evaporated most of the water.

What exactly is the problem?

Suddenly, Li Feng's eyes lit up, "The question, will it appear in the temperature?"

He wondered if this would be the case. As the fire heats up, the temperature in the furnace gradually rises, and when a certain temperature is reached, the reaction to produce the active ingredient begins.

But the fire was fierce, and soon the temperature rose to the maximum temperature of the reaction, and the reaction was aborted.

The temperature continued to rise until the Dan furnace boiled, and the temperature could not return to the temperature of that reaction.

Therefore, after refining a furnace of elixir, there are only a few active ingredients. With so few active ingredients, the grade of the natural elixir is low.

According to this idea, Li Feng speculated that the temperature of that reaction should not be very wide.

This can be inferred from the amount of active ingredients. The amount of active ingredient is very small, indicating that the reaction time is not long, it must be because under the heating of the furnace fire, the furnace temperature will be pushed up to the upper limit of the reaction temperature in an instant, and the time left for the reaction is that short moment.

In such a short period of time, it is impossible for the reaction to be sufficient, so there are so few active ingredients.

......

Li Feng wiped his palm, he wanted to try it according to his own ideas immediately.

Li Feng said that he would do it, and he had already thought of a way.

He first took several herbs for refining the Muscle-Growing Pill, and divided them into several portions according to the proportion of the various herbs on the Muscle-Growing Pill formula, and each of them here was not enough to refine a Muscle-Growing Pill. Li Feng's purpose this time was not to refine the Birth Muscle Pill at one time, but to use these herbs for experiments, and there was no need for sufficient amounts.

He put the seven parts of the herb into each of the seven jade bottles, then added water and shook it evenly.

The jade bottles are all transparent, and you can clearly see the color of the medicine in the jade bottle.

These seven jade bottles are now filled with primordial medicinal liquids, and the color is a uniform turbid cyan.

The reason why Li Feng used this method to test was that he wanted to judge whether there was a reaction in the liquid medicine through the change in the color of the liquid medicine in the jade bottle. In general, if a reaction occurs, the shape of the resulting substance will change, most likely in color.

It was with this idea in mind that Li Feng drew up this experiment.

Of course, this method is actually extremely inaccurate, and it is likely that there are some reactions that cannot be seen in color and character. But at this moment, Li Feng's conditions are limited, and he can only judge it with this most humble method.

If luck is in Li Feng's favor, this simple method may not be successful.

Li Feng placed the seven jade bottles on the table in turn, and a piece of paper was pasted on each jade bottle, on which were written with a pen from one to seven or seven Arabic numerals to mark it.

Afterwards, Li Feng went to a corner of the room and lit a piece of firewood there.

The flame on the firewood ignited, and a faint flame was suddenly released.

Experiments like this don't need to be fired. If the fire of the Danhuo is too strong, the temperature of the liquid medicine in the jade bottle will rise sharply, which will be harmful to the experiment. Therefore, Li Feng chose to burn firewood, a relatively mild flame.

He first picked up the No. 1 jade bottle and held it firmly with a made clip before placing it above the flame.

The flames rose and scorched right to the bottom of the jade bottle.

In Li Feng's hand, there is no thermometer now, so he can't accurately measure the temperature of the liquid medicine in the jade bottle. But based on the strength of the flame, he could roughly judge that this kind of flame heating, within a minute, should be able to raise the medicinal liquid in the jade bottle by five degrees.

As long as the time is mastered, the temperature of the Chinese medicine liquid in the jade bottle should be under control.

Moreover, Li Feng can also touch the jade bottle with his hands, and according to the feeling of his skin, he can also roughly judge the temperature of the medicinal liquid.

Li Feng held a thin wooden stick and kept stirring the liquid medicine in the jade bottle. The flames burned under the jade bottle, and the temperature of the liquid medicine continued to rise.

Li Feng observed the changes in the liquid medicine while silently remembering the time. There are several uses for being distracted like this, and Li Feng can deal with it calmly.

Time passed, and when the temperature reached about 50 degrees, the shape of the liquid medicine did not change, but the color of the liquid medicine changed. From the previous cyan color, it has become a slightly purple liquid.

Li Feng's expression froze, and he immediately raised the jade bottle to keep it away from the flames. Although it was far away from the flames, the temperature loss of the medicinal liquid in the jade bottle was not very fast, and it should be able to maintain it for a while.

Li Feng's left hand kept stirring in the liquid medicine. As he kept stirring, the purple became deeper and darker, until finally, the entire potion was completely purple.

At this time, Li Feng judged that the temperature should have lost a lot, so he put the jade bottle on the flame again, heated it for a while, and then moved it away again.

In order to make the liquid reaction more thorough, Li Feng repeated this several times. It wasn't until the end that the medicinal liquid completely turned dark purple, and Li Feng felt that it was almost enough, so he put this jade bottle aside. At the same time mark with a pen, fifty degrees Celsius.

Then, Li Feng picked up the No. 2 jade bottle again.

He heated it over a flame according to the former method. Soon, the temperature reached 50 degrees Celsius, and the liquid took on a purple color.

This time, Li Feng did not remove the jade bottle from the flames except for the stirring.

The temperature continued to rise, and the purple color of the liquid medicine was deepening, but its color was not as deep as the purple of the No. 1 jade bottle, indicating that the reaction was not as thorough as the No. 1 jade bottle.

When the temperature rises to 70 degrees, the color of the liquid in the jade bottle changes again. This time, a hint of blue appeared in the liquid medicine, indicating that a new reaction had occurred.

Only then did Li Feng remove the jade bottle from the flame, and like the first jade bottle, he kept stirring it to make this reaction complete.

It wasn't until the blue color of the medicinal liquid in this jade bottle was no longer deepened that Li Feng put the jade bottle aside and wrote on the paper with a pen: Seventy degrees Celsius.

Next is the third jade bottle.

This time, it wasn't until the liquid medicine in the jade bottle boiled that the color changed again, and it returned to the cyan color of the original solution.

Li Feng knew in his heart that the medicinal liquid in this jade bottle was the same as the Muscle-Generating Pill he had refined with the Dan Furnace, and it had no value. However, in order to verify, Li Feng still waited for a while, and only after the reaction was complete did he put the third jade bottle and wrote it with a pen: 100 degrees.

Li Feng looked at the three jade bottles placed side by side, which were the three reactions of the liquid medicine in the heating process.

However, how to judge which jade bottle has more active ingredients?

This question is inconclusive in terms of color, so how can we judge it?

Li Feng frowned, scratching his head a little at this question. He put his nose to the mouth of each jade bottle and sniffed them one by one.

The smell emanating from the three jade bottles was roughly the same, and they all had a faint scent of grass. I can't tell it from the smell.

At this time, Li Feng suddenly realized that the smell in the three jade bottles was different from the smell of the Muscle Pill. The smell of raw muscle pill is a fragrant fragrance.

Li Feng stretched out his hand, took the muscle-building pill he had just refined, and put it under his nostrils and sniffed it. Sure enough, the smell of the Muscle Pill was not the same as none of the three jade bottles.

Only then did Li Feng think about it, to prepare the Muscle Pill, he still needed to inject spiritual energy into it. The smell of the three jade bottles is different from the Muscle Pill, perhaps because it is not infused with aura.

Li Feng took the first jade bottle with purple liquid in it and injected spiritual energy into the mouth of the jade bottle.

Only then did he realize that the medicinal liquid in the jade bottle could absorb the aura in the slightest. Maybe there was too little liquid in the jade bottle, so the aura didn't absorb much. Li Feng only injected a little aura, and the medicinal liquid had already reached the limit of absorption, and he could no longer absorb a trace of aura.

After injecting the aura, Li Feng sniffed it at the mouth of the bottle with his nose.

A faint fragrant fragrance emanated from the jade bottle. In this jade bottle, there is already the smell of the Muscle Pill, but the smell is much lighter than the fragrant smell of the Muscle Pill.

Li Feng picked up the jade bottle containing the blue liquid again and shook it slightly.

The blue liquid medicine swirled slightly inside the jade bottle, and the blue color made Li Feng dazzle for a while.

After Li Feng took a look, he began to inject spiritual energy into the jade bottle.

As soon as he injected the aura, Li Feng noticed that this bottle of liquid medicine was very different from the previous bottle of purple liquid medicine.

The previous bottle of purple liquid only absorbed a little spiritual energy, and it could no longer be absorbed.

However, this bottle of blue liquid medicine was like he couldn't eat enough, and Li Feng urged the aura several times in a row, but all of them were absorbed by the liquid medicine. Obviously, the limit of the medicinal liquid's absorption of spiritual energy was far from reaching, so Li Feng had to continue to inject spiritual energy into it.

After Li Feng activated the aura five times in succession, the medicinal liquid finally absorbed the aura and no longer absorbed it.

Li Feng's heart was always full of nervousness. This bottle of liquid medicine is so different, the aura absorbed is a hundred times more than the aura absorbed by the first bottle of liquid medicine, and it is even several times more than the aura absorbed by Li Feng when he used the Dan furnace to refine the Muscle Generating Pill.

"Could it be that the medicinal liquid in this jade bottle is the active ingredient of the Muscle Pill? Otherwise, how could it absorb so much aura?"

Li Feng was apprehensive in his heart. If this bottle is really the active ingredient of the Muscle-Growing Pill, it means that he has finally refined a high-grade Muscle-Generating Pill.

And this matter is of greater significance, this success shows that the knowledge that Li Feng mastered in his previous life can be used for alchemy.

The alchemy of this world is so important, and Li Feng can refine a high-grade pill, which is simply more important to him in the future than the sky.

To what extent, Li Feng still does not have an accurate estimate, but it is conceivable that Li Feng can definitely become a powerhouse in this world with this unique alchemy method.
