Chapter 116: Learning Alchemy
Chapter 116 Learn to refine alchemy
The first key to alchemy is to learn to control fire.[]
Before refining the alchemy, Ling Xiao's first warm-up exercise was to practice fire control.
A small fire rose from his hands. The fire was red and burning, sometimes big and sometimes small, as if it were extremely agile like a spirit snake.
"Alchemy is extremely important to the heat. If the larger the fire is too much, the smaller the shortfall will lead to the failure of the alchemy, so you must master it as you wish before you can start to refine the alchemy." Ling Xiao looked at the two small fires in his palm and murmured to himself.
It took Ling Xiao two days to practice fire control alone. He felt that he could really master the heat before he began to enter the real alchemy state.
Ling Xiao took out the medicine cauldron from the space ring and took out another spiritual herb that was emitting emerald green. The stems and leaves of the spiritual herb were very delicate, as if they were given a little force, they would be damaged.
This is the main medicinal herb that refines Huilu Dan, which has excellent recovery effects on the body's muscles.
Ling Xiao took a breath and threw the Chenlu grass into the medicine cauldron. Then the flames in his hands and mouth quickly burned towards the medicine cauldron.
Ling Xiao had long remembered the "Alchemy Art" in his heart and knew that refining medicine must be very good at controlling the heat. The first step is to extract the essence of the medicinal herbs.
At first, Ling Xiao still heated it slowly, and the morning dew grass gradually became irritated and concentrated.
"It's almost done." Ling Xiao's emotions fluctuated a little when he saw this situation, and the flames couldn't help but increase their strength a little.
Here...
In just a moment, the morning dew grass, which was about to extract the essence from the medicine cauldron, was immediately burned.
Ling Xiao looked at his palm with a drooping face and said, "You can't be excited, you can't be excited, you must be as clear as your heart will be clear, and you won't be surprised..."
Ling Xiao calmed down again and adjusted his mentality. Another morning dew grass was thrown into the medicine cauldron. According to the key points mentioned in "Alchemy Art", he slowly heated the medicine cauldron.
I saw the morning dew grass, like before, slowly extracting into essence, gradually turning into milky white.
Ling Xiao was fully focused, and his expression was not fluctuating at all.
Just after the morning dew grass all turned into a small milky white ball.
Ling Xiao's palm trembled, and the flames heated up a little more than they had just now.
Pang!
The essence of the morning dew grass was completely extracted, and the white appearance looked delicate and transparent, pure and unpretentious.
Ling Xiao didn't dare to be careless, so he isolated the essence, and then threw in another auxiliary spirit herb, and the flames rose again.
The essence of four spiritual herbs was condensed in a row, and Ling Xiao's forehead was covered with fine sweat, which shows that elixir refining was not an easy task.
Sure enough, when it was the fifth spiritual herb, Ling Xiao burned another spiritual herb without holding on to the heat.
Faced with the damaged spiritual herb, Ling Xiao no longer had any fluctuations, and he invested the same spiritual herb to start condensing.
He extracted the essence of spiritual herbs, but he also damaged a total of six spiritual herbs before he extracted all the spiritual herbs needed for Huilu Dan.
But don’t be happy too early, this is just the first basic step in alchemy.
"Damn it, this job is really tiring." Ling Xiao not only felt that Xuanli was exhausted, but also felt very tired.
Although he complained, he would not give up easily in anything he did. This is the first element of his ability to become a strong man.
Next, we have reached the step of isolating the essence of each spiritual herb. This step is the most difficult step, which is the key step to whether it can become a pill.
According to the order mentioned in "Alchemy Art", Ling Xiao first placed the essence of the morning dew grass in the middle and centered it, and then concentrated the essence of other spiritual herbs one by one.
Ling Xiao provided fire source while exercising his strength.
This is when the heat needs to be increased, so that the essence of each spiritual herb must be melted and kneaded together.
Unexpectedly, just as Ling Xiao increased his firepower, an explosion sounded.
Pang!
A thick cloud of ash smoke emerged from the medicine cauldron.
"Cough cough!" Even Ling Xiao couldn't react in time. He was banged by the thick smoke. His handsome face turned into black charcoal. When he coughed, he smoked from his mouth, looking very funny and embarrassed.
"Now, I have become a black carbon head. I don't believe that this small first-level pill can be rare to defeat me." Ling Xiao laughed at himself, then encouraged himself and started to extract the essence of the spirit herb again.
With the experience extracted just now, Ling Xiao lost only two spiritual herbs and condensed all the spiritual herbs.
Next comes the step of integration.
Ling Xiao took a few deep breaths, calmed down his mind, and the essence of the spirit herb was concentrated together again.
Now Ling Xiao’s flames dare not add too much to one go.
However, it failed again, just because the heat was not enough, the essence was dissipated without fusion. However, it was not as bad as the last explosion, and this time it was considered good luck.
Ling Xiao has to do it again.
Immediately afterwards, it soon failed for the third time, and then continued.
The fourth failure.
The fifth failure.
...
It was not until the eighth time that Ling Xiao merged the spirit herbs together.
The second step finally passed.
But don’t think that this is the result of the elixir. There is a third step, which is the most difficult step, “condensing the elixir”.
Ling Xiao was fully focused and focused to the extreme. Sweat kept slipping from his face. He still didn't realize it. He kept the key points in his heart, first increasing the flames, increasing the temperature, and then cutting off the source of the fire to cool the condensed pill.
This process cannot be done with one more second, or less. You must hold on to the time.
Ling Xiao's emotions slightly wavered, and he shouted "Give me a condensation" and removed the flame with one hand, and pushed it over with another mysterious force.
call out!
The essence of spiritual herbs that had been integrated together was instantly combined and turned into three elixirs.
"It's done!" Ling Xiao was happy and immediately took out the pill.
I saw that the color of the elixir was much different from the one he usually took. It seemed to have a little burnt smell, and it was not as round and natural as the real elixir. No matter how you look at it, it didn't look like a elixir.
Ling Xiao comforted himself and said, "It's not bad, it's not bad if you can achieve this for the first time in Ningdan."
Unexpectedly, as soon as his words came, all three pills were crossed and turned into a ball of powder.
"No, I... the result of my hard work for a long time has become like this?" Ling Xiao drooped his face, and his eyes were almost crying. He was ruined after a little proud of his pill. This is too much of a blow to people.
"Damn, can I not be able to do this? I don't believe in this evil. I can't refine the elixir." Ling laughed and cursed, instead of continuing to refine the elixir, he sat cross-legged and recovered.
At the same time, he recalled the tips mentioned in "Alchemy Art", which mentioned that some exclusive techniques are extremely beneficial for alchemy. They can not only increase speed, but also increase success rate. However, this technique is a bit difficult to use.
After Ling Xiao recovered from his state, he was not in a hurry to refine the alchemy, but recalled the exclusive alchemy technique of the "Pharmaceutical Sect" mentioned in the "Alchemy Art".
The flame shadow hand is divided into seventy-seventy-four nine phantoms. The move is as red as a fire cloud and the rapid phantom is a technique that mainly controls flames. Each shadow controls a different flame size, that is, controls the fire.
As long as you refine the Flame Shadow Hand, you can control the fire as you wish, and it can greatly increase the speed of alchemy. It is the exclusive secret of "Pharmaceutical Sect" to refine alchemy.
Ling Xiao carefully understood the mantras and tricks of Yanying Hand, and for a moment he entered the state of forgetting both things and self.
I saw him closing his eyes, looking solemn, and his hands gradually spread out, slowly turning around.
The movements in the hand changed from slow to fast, and gradually countless hand shadows flew around on some kind of trajectory.
If someone sees it at this moment, he will only feel dazzled and cannot tell which of these is the real palm.
Ling Xiao didn't know how long he had been in this state. He knew that the Flame Shadow Hand seemed to be a kind of superior palm technique, which was similar to the Paiyun Palm, but it was completely different in its use.
The power of the Paiyun Palm is amazing, while the Flame Shadow Hand is long-lasting, with constant virtuality and reality, and unpredictable.
Ling Xiao opened his eyes, and a look of enlightenment was revealed in the tiger's eyes, muttering to himself, "The Phantom Hands of Seventy-Seventy-Nine are indeed unique. As long as you use them familiarly, it will be much more convenient and quick to extract medicinal essence, and it also has a significant effect on the elixir."
Ling Xiao only learned the Yanying Hand overnight. In addition to his high understanding, it was mainly because he had learned the Paiyun Palm before and was very skillful in using it. Now that he learns other palm techniques, it is naturally very easy to get started.
Ling Xiao couldn't wait to verify whether the Flame Shadow Hand was really so good.
He threw a morning dew grass into the medicine cauldron, and the flame shadows immediately shot out, and a ball of flame fuel that had just been suppressed was around the medicine cauldron.
Then, Ling Xiao changed repeatedly according to the palm technique of Yanying Hand, and the fire was also very large and small, and he controlled it as he pleased.
Sure enough, the essence of a morning dew grass was quickly extracted.
Immediately afterwards, Ling Xiao continued to refine other spiritual herbs.
With the help of the Flame Shadow Hand, the speed was more than twice as fast as before.
However, Ling Xiao believed that this was not the fastest speed. As long as you practice the Flame Shadow Hand to the extreme and you can shoot out forty-nine phantoms, the speed of the alchemy will be at least ten times faster than now.
After the essence is extracted, it is time to fusion again.
With previous experience, the integration went smoothly.
Finally, it was the moment of the elixir.
Ling Xiao shot out twenty-four palms in a row, and the flames burned on the medicine cauldron very suddenly, and then cut off the flames.
"Chang!" Ling Xiao shouted and suppressed the mysterious force.
After a while, the essence of the spiritual herb was divided into five, and finally it was synthesized and the pill was completed!
Ling Xiao carefully took it up and looked at the five round and smooth elixirs, a fragrant smell of medicine came to his nose.
"Haha, this time it's successful!" Ling Xiao laughed and immediately took out the pill bottle to fill the five Huilu pills.
Generally, low-level pills can be refined into ten pills with one serving of medicine. For example, Ling Xiao can produce five pills this time, which means that he still wasted half of the medicinal properties.
However, this number is slightly better than that of ordinary alchemists.
If other alchemists saw that this guy had only learned to refine alchemy for a few days, and the first time he successfully condensed the pill, he would be able to refine five pills, he would be shocked immediately.
Chapter completed!
