Chapter 052 Alchemy and Peach Stealing
"Senior brother, can you believe Wang Shan's words? Nie Tianxing is only in the period of fasting. How dare he come to the Qitian Mountains alone? Isn't this looking for death?" A group of people appeared on the outskirts of the Qitian Mountains, and one of them asked doubtfully.
"Why can't you believe it? We had guessed that he would come to the Qitian Mountains before, but we didn't know how he escaped in the first place. He was obviously seriously injured, but he was able to escape under our noses. Didn't you hear it just now?
Really? Who else could the white-haired boy be besides Nie Tianxing?" Tang Qian sneered, these people were the disciples of the Luo Hun Sect.
"We must not let Nie Tianxing go this time. He ran away last time! Our crystal stones for three years were confiscated by the elders! Humph!" a disciple said angrily, with murderous intent.
"Junior Brother Sun, please go and inform Senior Brother Wang Ke immediately that we have determined that Nie Tianxing is in the Qitian Mountains. Also, go back and send more people over. It happens that the poor senior brother is also in the Qitian Mountains. Nie Tianxing cannot escape this time.
" Tang Qian sneered, his eyes flashing with viciousness and malice.
"Yes! Senior brother, I will go and notify Senior Brother Wang to come over right away!"
"Senior Brother Tang, didn't Senior Brother Hankui find the scroll and send us to escort it back to the sect? Now Senior Brother Hankui doesn't know that Nie Tianxing stole the scroll. If he knew, Senior Brother Hankui would definitely come back to help. When the time comes, Senior Brother Hankui
Are you still worried about not being able to catch Nie Tianxing when you and the poor senior brother take action?" A disciple suggested.
"That makes sense! You should notify the two senior brothers immediately and ask them to help!" Tang Qian sneered, feeling relieved at last.
...
"Slowly increase the heat." Nie Tianxing thought to himself, very seriously, the real fire slowly increased, and his spiritual consciousness was also observing all changes in the alchemy furnace.
"That brat is quite smart! He actually knows how to use this method to sense the size of the fire. I never thought of such a method back then!" Tian Yunzi secretly praised in his heart. Although his eyes were not looking here, his consciousness was always observing.
With.
After a while, the intensity of the heat was very small, so the herbs were not easily burned. While Nie Tianxing increased the intensity of the heat, he also carefully observed the changes in the intensity of the heat and the herbs.
Soon, Nie Tianxing smelled a faint fragrance, and he was ecstatic. He immediately remembered the intensity of the heat at this time, and stopped increasing the intensity of the heat, because Nie Tianxing knew that this fragrance must be the essence of the herb.
After passing the spiritual observation, Nie Tianxing also saw that the impurities of the medicinal herbs were separated. Although they were very few, they were still observed by him.
"This little guy seems to have discovered something, haha." Tian Yunzi smiled and then walked towards Nie Tianxing.
After sensing it for a moment, Nie Tianxing finally determined the strength of the fire. He was secretly excited and finally figured out the trick.
"Bad boy, did you find something?" Tian Yunzi asked with a smile.
"Hey, senior, isn't the heat just right now?" Nie Tianxing chuckled, looking proud.
Then he asked: "Tell me, how to extract the essence next, and how high the heat is?"
"The quality of the elixir depends on the alchemist's strength, so extracting the essence also depends on the alchemist's strength. The heat must be controlled to allow the essence to be calcined without losing the essence. This meets the requirements for extracting the essence.
.”
"It is possible to refine the essence without losing the essence? Isn't the current heat capable of calcining the essence? How can the essence be lost in the alchemy furnace?" Nie Tianxing asked with a frown, not understanding what it meant.
"Haha, brat, the question you asked is the same as the question I asked back then. I didn't understand what it meant back then. Then my master asked me how a monkey can steal the most peaches and still be full.
Belly?" Tian Yunzi said with a slight smile.
"Isn't this simple? Of course I stole it while eating. The peaches stolen plus the peaches eaten are of course the most!" Nie Tianxing said. Of course, there is no need to think about such a simple problem.
"That's it! Stealing and eating at the same time is the way to steal the most peaches, because the peaches you eat are also stolen. It took me several months to figure this out. The truth is the same.
Yes, you can understand it yourself." Tian Yunzi said with a meaningful smile, and then walked aside without explaining the truth, deliberately letting Nie Tianxing think about it.
Looking at Tian Yunzi's back, Nie Tianxing frowned and said, "Does stealing peaches have anything to do with refining elixirs? Seniors say the truth is the same, but I don't think it has anything to do with it. This stinky old man is still playing riddles with me.
,Really."
"How can we refine the essence without losing it? Senior also said before that if the heat is too low, the essence will be slowly lost, but if it is too high, the herbs will be burnt. It can't be too big or too small.
Isn't this very contradictory? Even if I have controlled the heat, it seems that a lot of essence has been lost just now! Is it because the heat is not enough? It shouldn't be. If it is the heat, the senior should have said that it is.
Ah." Nie Tianxing said in confusion, falling into thinking for a while.
"Monkeys steal peaches. Only by eating and stealing can they steal the most peaches. Is it possible to extract the essence while burning out the elixir? But the essence is in the alchemy furnace. How to extract it? Are there any other tools?
?Probably not, if there is, senior has already said it." Nie Tianxing couldn't figure out the reason no matter how hard he thought about it, he was very confused.
"It's strange, what does stealing peaches have to do with alchemy?" Another two days passed, and Nie Tianxing sat quietly on the big rock on the top of the mountain and thought about it for two days, but still had no clue.
"How's it going? Haven't you figured it out yet?" Tian Yunzi walked over slowly and asked with a smile.
Nie Tianxing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Senior, the principles between the two are the same, but what's the relationship? Stealing peaches and refining elixirs should be two different things."
"If you think so, you are wrong!"
"Wrong? What should you think?"
"It's up to you what you want to think about."
"Senior, can't you reveal a little bit?"
"No! I've said everything, you don't need to use your brain! There are three steps to making an elixir, controlling fire, extracting essence, and condensing the elixir. You can think of it yourself."
"There are three steps: controlling fire, extracting essence, and condensing elixir. It's useless to just think about it. You should think about it while refining the elixir. Maybe you can figure it out." Nie Tianxing did it as he said and started refining the elixir again.
