Chapter 43: The First Taste of Alchemy

Back at the West Mountain Peak, Lin Shan was not in a hurry to start alchemy, recalling that when he left the spiritual material room, he saw the eyes of Huang Xuan and the four of them, as well as Huang Xuan's fierce expression, Lin Shan couldn't help but sigh and went to buy some spiritual materials, but he was estimated to be hated by these four people for no reason.

Alchemy wants a quiet place, if someone disturbs it halfway, then this pill must be wasted, so it seems that it is impossible to make alchemy in the small hall, and you need to find a quiet place again.

Lin Shan came to the back mountain, turned around, looked for a hidden place, and began to dig up, the Huoyun Sword flew out of the aura bag, turned into a flash, and the brush was submerged in the mountain stone, until the hilt of the sword, and used the Huoyun Sword to draw a big "Tian" character, and dug out the mountain stone, but there was not much spiritual energy, more than ten swords went down, and the spiritual power was also consumed, so he could only pick up the spirit hoe and pottery the soil and mountain stones.

After meditating for a long time, when the aura was almost recovered, he danced the Fire Cloud Sword again, and continued to open up the cave.

After working so busy for a day, until the sun set, a cave that was more than two feet deep and two meters high was finally smashed out by him, and he found some dead leaves from the surrounding area to cover the entrance of the cave, until he confirmed that he could not see the abnormality from the outside, Lin Shan breathed a sigh of relief, and the future cultivation was carried out in this cave.

The night soon enveloped the West Mountain Peak, and suddenly there was a faint sound in front of the small hall in front of the mountain, it seemed that someone was talking, as if it was the voice of Huang Xuan and others, Lin Shan felt a chill in his heart, these two ancestors had really found him here.

He lightly came to a high ground, which was almost at the top of the mountain, a little far away from the small hall, Huang Xuan and the others' cultivation was as high as his, and his divine sense could not detect it here, he could vaguely see what was happening in the small hall.

Sure enough, the four of Huang Xuan who were seen in the spiritual material room during the day were there, Huang Xuan was still squirting foul words in his mouth, and the other three were also scolding, Xu was looking for Lin Shan, they smashed the doors and windows of the small hall, this was still not angry, the four of them came to the spiritual field planted by Lin Mountain, and destroyed most of the spiritual grass planted in Lin Mountain, and then they left.

Lin Shan secretly rejoiced, fortunately he saw the opportunity early, otherwise, a beating is estimated to be inevitable, doors and windows can be mended, and he still has a lot of seedlings of spirit grass, and he can plant them once during the day.

Although the four of them were gone, he didn't dare to slack off, and stayed in a high place until midnight, seeing that the four of them should not be coming, then he returned to the cave and sat down cross-legged, and when the whole body was relaxed, and the spiritual power had been completely recovered, he took out the black Dan furnace, as well as the three packets of medicinal materials, and he could try alchemy.

Placing the Dan furnace, he stretched out his right hand to operate the aura in the same way as the fire spirit bullet, because the use of the fire spirit bullet was really skillful, and soon a small fire spirit bullet appeared on his right hand, Lin Shan shook his head, the output of the spirit was too fast, so many times, there was no fire of the primordial god.

Meditation, concentration, according to what he saw in the academy, he sensed the fire aura between heaven and earth, and after a while, the red fire aura that was invisible to the naked eye around him continued to converge into his palm, sensing the fire aura of Lin Shan, and at the same time outputting the aura in his body to the palm of his hand, and maintaining a stable speed.

"Poof!", a small piece of fireworks suddenly erupted from the palm of his hand, but disappeared again in an instant.

Lin Shan was secretly happy in his heart, the fire of the primordial god was about to be generated, and after trying about a pillar of incense, his palm finally spewed out a piece of firelight, the firelight showed a red and white color, and continued to burn, this primordial fire was finally cultivated by him, according to such a release of the primordial fire that consumed spiritual power, he estimated that he could refine it for two hours at most.

Opening the control port of the furnace lid and throwing a spirit grass into it, seeing that the spirit grass fell on the black tray, Lin Shan put his palms into the two holes at the bottom of the furnace.

"Poof!poof!", two blazing flames of the Yuan Shen erupted from his palm and burned on the stove body, the bottom of the furnace absorbed heat quickly, a cup of tea, through the transparent mirror on the stove body, saw that the black tray was surrounded by a piece of fire red, and the most recessed part of the furnace was low, but there was no change, as if the heat was concentrated around the black tray.

"Squeak!" There was a soft sound in the furnace, and the spirit grass in the black tray turned into a small black piece, and Lin Shan's heart sank and failed.

Stopped the output of the fire of the primordial spirit, pressed the small bump on the Dan furnace, and saw the spirit grass that had turned into black pieces in the small black bowl, he gently picked up the black pieces with two fingers and looked at them carefully, thinking, it should be that the fire input is too strong, so that it is overheated, and the spirit grass can't withstand this temperature, and it is scorched!

"Come again!" Lin Shan secretly drank, threw a piece of spirit grass into the furnace again, and then transported the fire of the primordial gods, this time, the fire of the primordial gods controlled by Lin Shan was smaller, and the periphery of the black tray was just red, Lin Shan tried his best to maintain this temperature, but after running a small half pillar of incense, the spirit grass did not change at all.

"It looks like the temperature is too low. Lin Shan shook his head secretly, and then slowly increased the output of firepower.

"Squeak!", I didn't expect the spirit grass to burn into a small black piece again.

He stopped, judging from the refining of the spirit grass, each medicinal material needs a temperature to refine, after the three medicinal materials are refined, they are mixed according to the proportion, and they must be returned to the furnace again, and the temperature is controlled to refine again, so that a complete alchemy can be completed.

No wonder the price of the pill in the market is higher, so it seems that it is really not easy to refine a pill, some pills need dozens of medicinal materials to refine, so it is necessary to refine dozens of medicinal essences, as long as there is a mistake in refining a medicinal material in the middle, this pill will not be refined.

Alchemy is indeed a very difficult job, if some monks fail too many times in refining an elixir, and the cost of purchasing spiritual materials has exceeded the cost of directly buying this elixir, so why waste time refining it, this may be the reason why alchemists have not been many in the world of cultivating immortals.

"Cultivation is not an easy thing, alchemy is a small difficulty, if you are intimidated, then what is there to talk about cultivating immortals. Lin Shan muttered to himself.

He touched his pocket again, and a feeling of encouragement immediately came to his heart, and there were still twenty-one low-level spirit stones in his pocket, if the alchemy failed, he would not be able to move an inch, without the spirit stones, it was almost impossible to increase the speed of cultivation.

As soon as he thought of the spirit stone, Lin Shan immediately generated a powerful momentum, he held away his distracting thoughts, took a deep breath, threw another spirit grass into the Dan furnace, transported the fire of the primordial god, and continued refining.

"Squeak!" failed.

"Come again!"

"Squeak!" failed again.

"Come again!" ......

Throughout the night, after dozens of failures, the sky was getting brighter, Lin Shan stood up and sorted out the Dan furnace, and then walked out of the cave.

Early morning is the most intense moment of the day, he came to the highest point of the peak, the clouds and mist below, the colorful morning glow put a beautiful veil on the wind spirit valley, the mountain breeze on the peak was blowing, so that Lin Shan was in a comfortable mood, and soon entered a state of selflessness.

After a long time, Lin Shan woke up from his forgetfulness, and the tiredness and troubles of the night had long since disappeared, he secretly thought to himself, alchemy can't be too urgent, anyway, the spirit grass is cheap, and he is not afraid of failure, so he just used the spirit grass to summarize the experience of refining medicine.

He rolled up his sleeves, cut up the wood, repaired the doors and windows of the small hall that were smashed by Huang Xuan and the four of them last night, and reclaimed the spiritual field and applied the spiritual seedlings.

In the next few days, during the day, he watered the spiritual field, meditated and meditated in the small hall, the time passed quickly, and no disciples in charge came to check on him, a junior disciple who had just started, and the "second ancestors" that Lin Shan was particularly worried about did not come to disturb him, thinking that he was just a small beginner disciple, and was quickly forgotten by these people, but it made Lin Shan secretly happy.

In the evening, Lin Shan continued to refine the essence of the spirit grass, and one night a few days later, Lin Shan nervously stared at the inside of the Dan furnace through the mirror.

In the fiery red Dan furnace, the spirit grass gradually faded its skin, and several drops of crystal clear liquid droplets were exposed on it, and as time passed, the droplets gradually evaporated, turning into a small amount of silver-white medicinal powder, and fell to the bottom of the Dan furnace through the small net of the tray.

Lin Shan suppressed the excitement in his heart, he turned on the control switch, and saw a little silver-white powder at the bottom of the furnace, and at the same time, a faint medicinal fragrance entered his nose.

"Finally succeeded! It took three nights to finally control the temperature of the spirit grass refining. Smelling the scent of grass, Lin Shan's hands trembled a little, and then he kept reminding himself that this was just the beginning.

After clarifying the temperature of refining the spirit grass, Lin Shan was refining seven or eight plants together, and it took another three nights to finally refine all the spirit grass, looking at the small half bowl of silver-white powder, smelling the faint fragrance of spirit grass, Lin Shan was very satisfied.

"It's really not good, sell this small half bowl of spirit grass essence, and you can also earn some spirit stones." ”

After refining the spirit grass, the next side has to start refining the low-grade ground leaves and low-grade yellow leaf spirits, Lin Shan opened the small bag containing these two medicinal materials, and carefully checked it, the low-grade ground leaves are larger than the low-grade yellow leaf spirit, and slightly more, there are more than fifty low-grade ground leaves, and the low-grade yellow leaves are only about thirty.

He adjusted his mood, held his breath, folded a low-grade ground leaf into two parts, put the folded one into the Dan furnace, and began to refine it, so that a leaf could be refined twice, and without the support of spirit stones, the poor would have to save some flowers.

It took two days and more than twenty leaves to finally find the temperature at which to refine low-grade ground leaves and refine its essence.

In the end, it took a total of four days to successfully refine the last 20 or so low-grade ground leaves.

According to this method, Lin Shan spent another three days refining about ten low-grade yellow leaf essences.

Looking at the three small bowls placed beside him, Lin Shan's face showed a slight smile, the silver-white powder was the essence of the spirit grass, while the low-grade ground leaf was a pale green powder, and the low-grade ground leaf was a small amount of yellow liquid.

Now is the last step, mixing and refining, he carefully followed the "beginner pill formula" he saw in the Shimen Academy, mixed the essence of the three medicinal materials, and finally obtained thirty pills of normal size, the next step is to return to the furnace and refine, if the refining is successful, the general pill will emit a faint fragrance.

According to the old method, Lin Shan cut a pill into three sections, and carefully kneaded them into a ball, so that such a normal pill turned into three small pills.

He nodded with satisfaction and threw one of the small pills into the Dan furnace......

Finally, one night a few days later, after consuming the amount of ten normal pills, Lin Shan held a small white pill with a fragrance in his heart, and finally succeeded in refining, in order to verify whether it was a successful pill, Lin Shan made a small wound on his arm, rubbed the small pill and applied it to the wound, and found that the wound recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally there was no trace on his arm, but the kneaded pill became a yellow residue, and finally fell down.

Lin Shan clenched his fists, and there was an excited look on his face, he succeeded!

The last step of mixing and refining took the most time, and it took an hour to refine this small pill.

With the successful experience, the refining in the back was much simpler, because he controlled the temperature, he was not refining one by one, but refining several pills together.

Early in the morning, looking at the ten fragrant hemostatic pills in the small bowl, Lin Shan walked on the ground, although the aura around his body had been exhausted, he felt that the efforts of more than half a month were quite worthwhile.

At least in the alchemy part, it is already a very simple entry, although there is only a one-tenth success rate, but it was his first alchemy, no one taught, everything was done by himself, and Lin Shan was quite satisfied with this achievement.

The Hemostatic Pill is the simplest pill, because the injured monk, if the external injury is not serious, the operation of the aura can stop the bleeding, in the Ethereal City, the two Hemostatic Pills are only one low-level spirit stone, and these ten Hemostatic Pills are five low-level spirit stones, just back to the original.
