Chapter 175 First taste of alchemy!
Ye Jian was speechless, but fortunately he didn't drink much, so he took out a big wine bag from the space ring and filled the wine pot in the eighth master's hand, and then threw it to the other party.
"Save some drinks. I don't want to leave here yet, and there is no extra wine in my hand." Ye Jian sighed lightly, and then he thought: "It seems that after I go out, I have to go to Linggu."
Taking a bath and changing clothes, Ye Jian sat upright in the secret room, adjusting his spirit to the best state, and then took out the two pill recipes he had collected before, gathering the energy and resusciting it.
Before this, Ye Jian had carefully studied the two pill recipes and took them out again. He just wanted to review them before refining the pill.
After reviewing two pill recipes, Ye Jian then raised his right hand slightly, and the space ring immediately flashed white light again, but he saw a blue three-legged and two-eared bronze tripod, which was located on the ground with a "clang" sound.
The three-legged bronze tripod is an alchemy furnace specially used by alchemists. It is made of purple bronze and secret gold, so that its maximum withstand temperature can reach 500 degrees. The bronze tripod is more than one meter high, ten inches thick, and weighs more than a hundred kilograms. The tripod is full, which seems to be imitating the ancient style, and has been carved by craftsmen.
Ye Jian took a deep breath, and immediately the white light of the space ring flashed again, and ten small piles of medicinal materials that had been sorted out flew out and landed on the open space in the room.
"The first step in refining alchemy is to palm fire."
Ye Jian said, a black flame rose in the palm of his hand, jumping and flashing, and in an instant, the temperature around him suddenly rose, reaching more than a hundred degrees.
"Part 2, refinement."
The so-called refining refers to refining the useful medicinal properties in medicinal materials and using palm fire to burn some toxic and useless ingredients in medicinal materials. This step is crucial because once the heat cannot be controlled, all the medicinal materials in the alchemist's hand will be burned into ashes. Therefore, the fire control technique requires the alchemist to control the alchemist to reach a state of slight importance.
Ye Jian successfully subdued the Glazed Black Flame, and his heart had already reached a state of intimacy with the palm fire. At this moment, his soul power penetrated a trace, rolled up a first-level seven-star grass on the ground, suspended in the air, and at the same time, his mind overwhelmed the black flames and rushed towards the seven-star grass.
In the early stage, Ye Jian controlled the temperature of the black flame to the lowest level, and then slowly increased. As the temperature of the black flame increased, the seven-star grass suspended in the air gradually began to liquefy, until finally, the seven-star grass completely transformed into a small ball of light green liquid.
Through the soul power, Ye Jian suddenly observed that there were tiny and undetectable black solids in the light green liquid mass. Ye Jian knew that this was what he wanted to remove.
Immediately, the soul power became extremely slender, slowly cutting the light green liquid ball, constantly peeling the impurities hidden in the liquid ball. After a quarter of an hour passed, sweat began to seep out of Ye Jian's forehead. Fortunately, the will of heaven was fulfilling, and finally extracted the spiritual liquid of the Seven Star Grass.
Put the refined spiritual liquid in a small glass bottle, Ye Jian then started the second operation. With the first experience, Ye Jian was obviously much easier for the second time. The black flame of the glass liquefied the spirit grass first, and then burned some external impurities. The soul power quickly reduced the spiritual liquid, peeled off the fine impurities in the spiritual liquid, and burned it with the black flame.
After this cycle, Ye Jian's time to refine the second spiritual herb was reduced by half compared to the first time, and sweat dripping from his forehead. Ye Jian then began to refine the third spiritual herb.
Perhaps Ye Jian was very talented in alchemy, so after only refining two medicinal materials, Ye Jian mastered a little bit of the rules. When he refined the third medicinal material again, the time was significantly shortened by half compared to the second time.
Such amazing progress would definitely be amazing if there was an alchemist here. You should know that, generally, alchemists who have just entered the alchemy path would not be able to get down without five or six days if they wanted to thoroughly master the rules of refining medicinal materials.
The soul power continued to absorb medicinal materials, and Ye Jian's refining speed became faster and faster until the end, every time he extracted a medicinal material, it took only one minute.
Huh~!
An hour later, Ye Jian finally refined all the medicinal materials and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, his back was already soaked with sweat.
"The second step - complete the refining, and then restore the soul power."
After such a long period of refining, if Ye Jian had not been ten times more soul power than ordinary people, he would have been exhausted. Ye Jian immediately sat cross-legged and entered an ethereal state.
An hour passed quietly, and when Ye Jian opened his eyes again, two divine lights were shot out.
"It's finally recovered," Ye Jian breathed deeply, felt the fullness of his spirit, and immediately said to himself: "The next step is the third step, Condensing the Pill."
Ye Jian said, his soul power shot out directly, turning into an invisible big hand, grabbing the copper cover on the bronze cauldron, and at the same time, he distributed a wisp of soul power, pouring the spiritual liquid needed to refine the gathering of energy into the alchemy cauldron. At the same time, the black flames in the palm of his hand were sent forward, directly controlling it to levitate under the bronze cauldron.
Flip ~!
The black flames were jumping, and the temperature around them suddenly rose rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the outer wall of the bronze tripod became red. Ye Jian immediately stopped hesitating and directly lowered the bronze tripod and covered it tightly.
At the same time, the soul power penetrated into the bronze tripod and turned into an invisible big hand. The five spiritual groups suspended in the bronze tripod were peeled off and slowly kneaded together according to a specific proportion.
The temperature around was still the same, but the temperature in the cauldron had risen to more than 200 degrees. At this temperature, all the spiritual groups suspended in the cauldron were boiling, and a trace of mist was evaporated.
The bronze tripod kept waving, but Ye Jian's expression was extremely serious, without any distraction. Ye Jian's soul hand directly absorbed the stripped spirit group, and then slowly merged into a larger blue spirit group.
The five medicinal properties that form the gathering and dispersion of Qi were much smoother than imagined. Put this group of already fused spirit groups aside, and Ye Jian then separated the five spirit groups at a certain proportion again, and finally merged two green spirit groups. At this time, the five medicine spirit groups that were originally suspended in the bronze tripod were exhausted.
Ye Jian was already sweating profusely, but he didn't dare to pause at all at this moment, thinking that the alchemy had entered the critical moment of condensing the alchemy.
Ye Jian carefully controlled the decrease in the temperature of the black flame, and at the same time, the soul-powered hand kept kneading and forging three green spirit balls in the bronze tripod. As the temperature decreased, the three green spirit balls finally slowly calmed down from their original boiling shape.
Then the three green spirit balls seemed to shrink in half, and their body size continued to shrink. Under the control of Ye Jian's soul power, they finally formed the shape of three large finger mothers, semi-solid and semi-liquid.
"Huh~!" Ye Jian breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately the temperature of the black flame was controlled at this moment. "The third step of alchemy refining--condensing pills is completed, and the next step is the fourth step - Gangdan."
The so-called solid pill, as the name suggests, is to completely condense the semi-liquid and semi-solid elixir embryo into solid. This process is very important because it is related to whether the elixir can be produced.
There are many records in the history of alchemy. The most important thing in the way of alchemy is to be calm and avoid being anxious or dry, otherwise you will fail. This is what this sentence is about.
The process of solidifying the elixir must be extremely careful. If there is a slight negligence in this process, it is very likely that the explosion of the elixir or directly become a waste elixir. You must know that the elixir must solidify into a solid elixir to exert its medicinal effect.
Ye Jian controlled the fire and remained unchanged. At the same time, the soul power slowly squeezed against the three elixir embryos in the bronze tripod. Ye Jian's soul power squeezed very lightly, but the three elixir embryos quickly solidified.
"No, the squeeze is too fast." Ye Jian noticed something was wrong, and immediately retreated quickly like a tide, but it was half a beat slower.
Slap~!
Two of the three green pills burst out directly, and two misty green energy surged out from the cracks in the skin of the pills, and then drifted out from the outside along the through hole of the bronze tripod.
Two of the three pills immediately burst. Ye Jian took a deep breath, his eyes flashed, but then his soul power slowly attached the last pill.
The soul power squeezed slightly at the last pill, and then immediately retreated. Everything happened within one cent. With Ye Jian's soul power squeezed, the last pill quickly solidified and condensed. However, this time, Ye Jian's luck seemed to be very good. As soon as the soul power retreated, the pill just condensed into solid.
"It's done!" Ye Jian was immediately delighted. The soul power was squeezed for only one cent just now. If it was a little longer, I'm afraid that the last pill would not be able to escape the fate of the explosion of the pill. When Ye Jian recalled it now, he felt a little scared in his heart.
However, although there are still fears, Ye Jian's alchemy refining this time was just for the alchemy path. If he didn't even have the courage to try this, then what would Ye Jian choose to refine the alchemy? Of course, it was precisely because of this attempt that Ye Jian could have a deep understanding and his pill refining will be more pleasing to the future.
Chichi~!
The last pill became a pill, and a trace of heat from the bronze tripod was like a dragon, pouring in from the surface of the pill and pouring into the inside of the pill. At the same time, an extremely rich medicinal fragrance spread out from the pill quickly, and the bronze tripod was scattered out of the pill.
"Finally, hard work pays off." Ye Jian's clothes were wet at this moment. Obviously, this time, the alchemy was a huge consumption for his soul and physical strength.
Ye Jian's soul power turned into an invisible big hand again, and then grabbed the bronze tripod cover and captured the gathering and dispersion of the bronze tripod that was wrapped in misty spiritual energy.
It was a little hot when I first bought it, but after a while, the Gathering Qi Dispersion became cooler. Ye Jian carefully looked at the Gathering Qi Dispersion as big as a little finger in his palm, and the green elixir skin always exuded a strong fragrance.
Ye Jian's eyes wandered around, but he suddenly stopped. After a moment, his face showed ecstasy, but he saw three small patterns bulging on the green elixir that gathered energy and scattered. He looked like a little dragon wandering around.
"The three lines gather and disperse the qi, which is the three lines gather and disperse the qi!"
Ye Jian suddenly became ecstatic, and the so-called three-line gathering and dispersion of Qi is just a level of gathering and dispersion. As we all know, gathering and dispersion of Qi is just a first-grade elixir. However, among the first-grade elixir, there are also good and bad.
Generally speaking, alchemists divide elixirs of the same grade into five levels, namely, no pattern, one pattern, two pattern, three pattern, and four pattern. The more patterns contained in the same grade, the better the efficacy of this elixir, and the corresponding level is also higher in the mid-grade elixirs of the same grade.
Ye Jian really didn't expect that the first time he refined the three-line gathering and dispersion of Qi. Although gathering and dispersion of Qi is useless to Ye Jian now, this is a good start.
Chapter completed!
