Chapter 7 Accidents
In this book called "The Alchemist's Primer's Handbook", the various levels of medicine refining in this world are introduced at the beginning, which is what Qin Fan is interested in.
According to the description in the book, in the Wutian Continent, not all alchemy can be called Dan, but are divided into one to five grades from high to low: the fifth grade is the spiritual liquid, the fourth class is the spirit dew, the third class is the spirit powder, the second class is the spirit pill, and the first class is the spirit pill!
Liquid, dew, powder, pill, dan.
These are the five forms of refining medicine, the spiritual liquid is naturally the easiest to refine, and the spiritual elixir is naturally the most difficult.
The spiritual liquid is actually to refine the liquid from various elixirs, which is also the basic requirement for becoming an alchemist, but the experience and ability of the alchemist will also affect the purity of the spiritual liquid, which is also an important indicator for judging the alchemist's alchemist refining technique.
The spiritual dew is the spiritual liquid that automatically condenses into a colloidal body with stronger medicinal power after reaching a certain purity. Generally speaking, if the purity of the spiritual fluid does not reach more than 70%, it cannot be condensed into dew. Being able to refine the spirit dew means that the alchemist's skills have reached a higher level.
Lingsan is a refiner who has mastered the "condensation" technique after the purity of the spiritual dew reaches 80%, and its medicinal power is much higher than that of the spiritual liquid spiritual dew, and it is also easier to fit with the human body than the spiritual liquid spiritual dew.
As for the spirit pill, it is to make the spirit powder "solid" and concentrate the medicinal power to the limit, which requires the control of the heat to reach an extremely high level! Not only must the refined medicinal liquid be more than 90% pure, but also the medicinal power in the spirit pill must be refined to a great extent, and there is no room for any waste, so the medicinal effect of such a spirit pill is comparable to three parts of the spirit powder, or even more!
The most difficult thing to refine is naturally the elixir! The elixir is generally round in appearance like the spirit pill, but it has a special luster than the spirit pill. However, in the process of alchemy, it is more than ten times more difficult than refining the spirit pill! The most basic condition is that the purity of the spirit liquid reaches 100 percent! This can only be done by precisely controlling every step!
In addition, what is more important is that we must know how to "inject the spirit"! Incorporate the aura of heaven and earth into the dan! With the help of the aura of heaven and earth to carry out the final condensation, it will become a pill, and if it is not successful, it will become a pill! This last step is extremely important, as long as there is the slightest mistake, it will fall short!
Vaguely, even many alchemists have classified alchemy as "obeying the will of heaven".
In addition to the introduction to the important classification of this alchemist, the "Alchemist's Primer's Manual" also mentions some introductions to the noble profession of alchemist.
Although ordinary people refer to the people who can refine elixir as alchemists, there is a set of divisions among alchemists, and the level of alchemy technology is determined according to the alchemy they can refine, which are spiritual liquid-level alchemists, Linglu-level alchemists, Lingsan-level alchemists, Lingpill-level alchemists, and alchemists!
In the Wutian Continent, although the alchemist is a noble profession, there are actually quite a few alchemists at the spiritual liquid level, but the alchemist is a real rarity! If there is one alchemist in ten thousand ordinary people, then there is only one alchemist in ten thousand alchemists!
Most of the alchemy in the form of spiritual liquid and spiritual dew are only suitable for use below the martial artist realm, while the alchemy suitable for innate martial artists is almost all above the quality of spiritual powder, and the spirit martial artist realm requires the quality of spirit pills or above, as for the alchemy suitable for the level of martial arts and saints, all of them exist in the form of elixir! Of course, the alchemy of the elixir form is suitable for the use of martial artists of any realm.
Therefore, the status of an alchemist is ten thousand times higher than that of an ordinary alchemist!
In the process of refining medicine, the control of the heat is extremely important, which requires extreme sensitivity to temperature, so, as an alchemist, good perception ability, that is the basic condition!
And perception is actually soul induction, which is what ordinary people call intuition! Because Qin Fan is a soul crossing, the excellent perception in his previous life still exists, so he is still very confident in the control of refining medicine.
"I didn't expect that the status of the alchemist in the Wutian Continent was so respected. Keeping looking at it, the corners of Qin Fan's mouth couldn't help but show a hint of a smile. As the only descendant of the Hidden World Dan Sect, there were also a lot of elixirs refined in his previous life, so he was naturally an alchemist.
In his previous life, his status as a disciple of the Invisible Dan Sect was already good, but because of the scarcity of cultivators on the earth, it was not too obvious, but on this Martial Heaven Continent, all the people practiced martial arts! Which martial artist did not need to refine medicine? Even if he cultivated to the realm of Martial Venerable Martial Saint, he would not dare to offend the alchemist too much!
Thinking of this, he had a little more confidence in his future path.
His goal is to be on top of the world!
And this Qin Jin is just a small stone on the road, not even a steep slope!
Why worry?
"Brother, you wait, in three months, I will definitely impress all the clansmen, and the name Qin Fan will definitely become the glory of the Nanfeng Qin family!
In the next moment, I really felt that the clouds were light and the wind was much lighter.
......
After basically flipping through this "Alchemist Primer's Manual", he put it aside, adjusted his mentality, calmed down, and began to prepare for alchemy.
The medicinal materials placed on the side of the medicine tripod were all the Yangyuan Dan materials that he asked Qin Li to prepare. Tian Sizi, Nourishing Heart Lotus, Black Festival Wisteria, Dream Lingzi...... There were nearly ten kinds of medicinal materials in total, and because the Qin family had an elite elixir business, the amount of preparation was relatively sufficient, enough for him to refine more than ten times.
The main function of Yangyuan Dan is to nourish the body, and now Qin Fan's body is still a little weak because of serious injuries, and it is the most suitable to take this Yangyuan Dan.
The palm of his hand rubbed gently on the medicine tripod, feeling the faint bursts of heat coming from the surface, Qin Fan closed his breath and felt it, as if he was having a special communication with the medicine tripod.
"Man, we will work together in the future, I will definitely refine more and more high-grade pills, and I will never bury you. After a long while, Qin Fan opened his eyes, and then patted twice on the wall of the medicine tripod with a reverent expression and said.
This behavior looks like a madman to ordinary people, but in the alchemy world, it is very famous, and even almost all alchemists have had such an experience, and the alchemists call it "Heding". It can be said that it is an indispensable ritual for the alchemist to use the new medicine tripod, and it is said that this can allow the alchemist to run in with the medicine tripod as soon as possible, and have the same mind, so as to improve the purity of the refined spiritual liquid when refining the medicine.
Everything is ready, and the alchemy begins!
Qin Fan first put the Heart Nourishing Lotus in Dingkou, which was the main medicine of the Heart Nourishing Pill, and he had to refine half of it before he could continue to invest in other elixirs. The medicine has entered the Ding, I saw Qin Fan raise his right hand, the martial energy was running, and a touch of white Danhuo jumped on the palm of his hand, and then slapped his palm on the wall of the medicine Ding, so that the Danhuo entered the Ding at the entrance of the dragon's head to refine the heart lotus.
Soon, half of this heart cultivation lotus was successfully refined, Qin Fan Dan kept burning, and with his other hand, he picked up a few other medicinal materials, and slowly threw them into the dingzhong, refining them one by one.
The aroma of the medicine slowly spreads through the room, refreshing everyone who smells it. Qin Fan didn't have a trace of fluctuation, he concentrated and silently sensed the changes in the Ding, every once in a while, he would switch into the fire mouth, so that the elixirs in the Ding could be mixed together more evenly, and the rich experience of refining medicine in his previous life had been extremely applied at this time.
Time was slowly passing, and Qin Fan still had a meticulous expression, showing his extremely professional qualities as an alchemist. After about a quarter of an hour, under the fierce refining of the Danhuo, the medicinal materials in the Ding have been refined into spiritual liquid, and the elixir residue has also been filtered to a specific place in the Ding, and at this point, the first step of the elixir refining has been completed without any danger.
Although it had not been tested yet, Qin Fan could be sure that the purity of this spiritual liquid was definitely above ninety percent, and in the blink of an eye, under Qin Fan's skillful urging, the spiritual liquid had begun to slowly condense into dew, and the medicine box in the room had become more and more dense.
Condensation is over!
With such skillful and precise control, other alchemists would be amazed if they saw it!
At this stage, it seems to be easy, but in fact, it is very particular about techniques, and if you don't master many details well, you will never be able to refine such a high-purity spiritual liquid! That is what the Hidden World Dan Sect can only do with thousands of years of inheritance and Qin Fan's years of experience.
Although the condensation had already been completed, Qin Fan did not stop at this time, but continued to condense the steps. What he wanted to refine was not the spirit dew, but the spirit pill! With the strict control of the temperature of the Dan Fire and the perfect switch of the fire inlet, in the induction, the spirit dew in the medicine pod began to slowly form crystals, which was the condensation step.
If this is the end, what is refined is Lingsan!
In the Wutian Continent, there are extremely few people who can do it here, and it is known as a big threshold for alchemists, how many people have gone to great lengths to reach this stage! If there is no previous professor, no matter how high the perception is, as long as a certain detail is wrong, it will not be able to do it!
Of course, Qin Fan, who has thousands of years of inheritance from the Hidden Dan Sect, will not be among them, and his refining this time did not end like this, only to see that at this time, all the crystals began to slowly move closer together, condensing again and again!
The temperature of the Dan Huo began to slowly decrease, and then gradually became even, until the Dan Fire was temporarily withdrawn, and a black pill formed in the Ding!
Solid finish!
Reimaru Cheng!
In this step, if the temperature is not well controlled, or if there is no solid technique, it will not be able to condense into a spirit pill, but will become a spirit powder with much lower medicinal effect. With Qin Fan's experience and technique, he naturally did not make a mistake in this step, so he successfully formed a spirit pill.
There is only the last step of "injecting spirits", Qin Fan can't help but be a little more cautious, in the process of injecting spirits, even alchemists with rich experience and superb skills dare not relax a little, whether they become a pill or not, it depends on this last moment, and there is only one chance!
At this time, Qin Fan's other hand was also placed on the medicine tripod, and then he began to use the secret method of "gathering spirits" from the Hidden World Danmen to gather the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual qi into the medicine tripod to make final preparations for the "spirit injection". Because this Yang Yuan Pill is not too high-grade elixir, the heaven and earth aura required is not much, and it will be gathered after a while.
"Infusion!"
Everything was over, Qin Fan's eyes froze, and the Dan Fire in his hand was fully fed into the medicine tripod, this time the alchemy had entered the final stage!
Infusion complete!
Reiki has been transformed into Dan Qi!
Dan Qi began to warm the spirit pill, and the spirit pill began to shine!
It's going to be successful!
Qin Fan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, generally speaking, if there were no special accidents here, this time the alchemy would have been completed.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, a strange sound came from the medicine pod! Immediately after, something incredible happened! The spirit pill that was about to completely transform into a spirit pill began to disappear rapidly at this time, and in the end, all the hard-earned pill qi was completely gone!
What's going on!
Encountering this unprecedented situation, Qin Fan couldn't help but be stunned for a while!
