Chapter 42: Preliminary Medicine Refining
Looking at the two and a half meters high in front of me, a black medicine cauldron with a sense of age, a trace of flesh and sorrow flashed across the sky.
His actions naturally made Qinglin laugh constantly.
Today I went to the pharmacy shop to look for a medicine cauldron to start refining the pill. After searching, I only found the two medicine cauldrons in front of me were just two cauldrons.
Although the two medicine cauldrons look quite old, their texture is quite rough and their materials are extremely average, which is ranked among the inferior products.
Although the two-door tripods are already the lowest-level existence among the medicine tripods, they can also have different blessing effects on refining medicines depending on the materials.
The medicine cauldron with slightly better quality is made of Fire Essence. It not only has a certain amplification effect on the Dou Qi flame, but also can increase the elixir rate a lot.
The scarce and precious the materials are, the more advanced the medicine cauldron is.
If it is a medicine cauldron made of earth fire flame essence and spirit earth, even if it is just a two-door tripod, it is more than enough to refine some high-level elixirs, and the possibility of frying the furnace is slim.
The two medicine cauldrons in front of you have common materials, poor quality, and extremely rough techniques. This is the most inferior medicine cauldron.
The two fire mouths below the medicine cauldron are opposite each other, both appearing in the shape of snake mouth, which is also the most common shape of medicine cauldrons on the mainland.
The fire mouth winds inward, and the insides are connected to each other. As it continues to deepen, its diameter becomes smaller and continuous, which is quite mysterious.
The entire interior is dark red. If you look closely, you can see some rather tiny bulges appearing in the smooth inner wall.
If the soul sense is used to explore, these subtle flaws will be magnified several times, destroying the structure of the entire medicine cauldron.
This is also because Tianxing believes that it is a inferior product. If one is not operated properly, the possibility of the furnace will be greatly increased, which is also because he bought both medicine cauldrons.
But such a very inferior medicine cauldron is sold for 10,000 gold coins!
For the current Tianxing, ten thousand gold coins are already a considerable expense. Moreover, because he consumed all the gold coins when he was promoted to the Great Battle Master, he only had about two thousand gold coins left on his body.
As a last resort, he had to sell the elixirs left by Najie Nei Songli Douhuang and bought the two medicine cauldrons back with a bottle of second-grade elixirs. Of course, it also includes the medicinal materials needed to refine the first-grade elixir, a total of fifty parts!
...
"You little girl is gloating, but I was slaughtered hard. This broken medicine cauldron will buy it."
Tianxing said in a resentful glaring at Qinglin, who was still chuckling with his mouth.
On weekdays, he raised the price of the map and thought he was a qualified profiteer. He did not expect that the pharmacy was the most unscrupulous place.
"After my brother refines elixirs and becomes an alchemist, they will definitely not dare to cheat my brother anymore. They will treat him as a guest of honor and treat him well."
Tianxing looked at Qinglin in surprise: "You little girl still know how to tolerate it. Let your brother have a slap in the face in the future?"
"These are all things Qinglin heard on weekdays. When he was in Shimo City, he could always hear some mercenaries complain about the pharmacy, fantasizing about how to make the pharmacy cripple after becoming an alchemist to satisfy his vanity." Qinglin shook his little head and said truthfully.
This made Tianxing raise his eyebrows slightly, and it seemed that everyone wanted to have a perfect scene of pretending to be slapping in the face.
However, Tianxing is not so bored yet. It is very difficult to refine pills and become an alchemist, and he is not sure that he can become an alchemist. Besides, they will set off soon, and maybe it will take a long time to return to Mocheng next time.
After telling the green scales, he locked himself in the door, took out the medicine cauldron, and began to try to refine the alchemy.
The first step for beginners to refine elixirs is to be familiar with the medicine cauldron and to induce fire.
When he arrived at the medicine cauldron, Tianxing stretched out his hands and placed it at the fire mouth. His eyes narrowed slightly, and the Dou Qi crystals in the cyclone flashed slightly, and an orange Dou Qi gushed out from Tianxing's palm.
The soul power surged out instantly, carefully controlling the orange Dou Qi in his hand, pulling them to the fire mouth, and then suddenly stimulated it, and the Dou Qi turned into a ray of light, pouring into the fire mouth, and instantly entered the medicine cauldron.
As the Dou Qi entered the medicine cauldron from the fire mouth, the strands of Dou Qi were suddenly transformed into a flame that looked like a substance, rising and burning at the fire mouth, and spreading continuously into the medicine cauldron, causing the medicine cauldron to make a dull sound.
Looking at the records in the essay on refining medicine, it is not the flame used to refine medicine. If you want to sacrifice the real fire used for refining medicine, you also need to transport wood attributes into the fire attribute Dou Qi and instill it into it.
This is not a difficult task, but it is too simple for Tianxing. He has long been familiar with the power of attributes, and the five elements in his body are quite huge, so sensing is naturally no problem.
As the mind sank into the body, with the help of the huge soul sensing power, a stream of extremely essence of wood was pulled out from all over the body in a few breaths.
Through the traction of meridians, the wood power slowly gathered from the palm, and then the palm slowly approached the fire outlet, and a faint blue energy was slowly injected into it along the fire outlet.
The blue energy was slowly injected into the medicine cauldron, and the burning flame inside seemed to be intervened by some medium, producing a violent chemical reaction. The extremely manic and scorching yellow flame instantly evaporated in the corridor.
It was not until this step that Tianxing felt relieved. At this point, he had completed the familiarity with the medicine cauldron and the fire-induced ignition.
Through soul perception, Tianxing can sense the scorching flame in the medicine cauldron, which is completely different from the open flames that are familiar to you in daily life.
With the blessing of the power of wood attributes, the flames in the medicine cauldron are more controllable and durable. Through the control of soul perception, the manic flames in the medicine cauldron are like docile sheep, quite well-behaved and obedient.
Following the steps in the essay on medicine refining, he next performed the extraction of medicinal materials and medicinal power. However, Tianxing was not in a hurry, but instead used his soul perception to control the flames in the medicine cauldron, constantly changing shapes and temperatures.
The most critical step in refining medicinal power is to control the flame temperature. If the temperature is too high, the medicinal material will be baked by a hot high temperature and will most likely be burned into a piece of black charcoal. If the temperature is too low, the medicinal power in the medicinal material cannot be completely tempered, which is undoubtedly a waste.
When Tianxing could control it freely, he let out a gentle breath and was highly focused.
My fingers whirled the rings inlaid with dark gold and gems. A faint light flashed by, and the medicinal materials appeared in front of me out of thin air and were neatly placed on the ground.
Take out a light yellow pill recipe from the essay on the medicine, and follow the steps on the notes to start the first attempt.
First-grade elixir for nourishing Qi San.
It is a elixir with healing effect and can restore Dou Qi to a small extent. It is the most commonly used elixir in the Dou Gu realm. However, it is a elixir, but it does not need to be made into a elixir, but exists in the form of a viscous liquid medicine.
Yangqi San is made of eight kinds of medicinal materials, purple ungulate, green wood grass, and earth lotus seeds...
Tianxing grabbed a purple ungulate flower and bounced it, and the medicinal material flew into the medicine cauldron and entered it from the top of the medicine cauldron.
As the purple hive flower was thrown into the medicine cauldron, it was instantly wrapped in endless flames. The terrifying high temperature made the purple hive flower wither in an instant, and drops of medicinal liquid flowed out along the gradually dry surface.
Before I could be happy, the rising hot flames wrapped up, swallowing all the medicinal materials and liquids, making waves of "sizzling" sounds.
In less than a moment, the purple Xunhua and a few drops of medicinal liquid were burned by the flames and were excluded from the special structure in the medicinal cauldron.
“The temperature is a little high.”
Tianxing murmured to himself, but there was no discouragement on his face. He was ready for continuous failures.
He took out a purple hive flower again and threw it into the medicine cauldron. The flames rushed up again.
The results were all in failure without exception.
Even if you have the experience recorded in the essay on refining medicine, you still need to explore the temperature that each medicinal material can adapt to.
After several attempts, Tianxing gradually mastered the required temperature nodes. With the input of another purple hive flower, Tianxing's soul perception controls the rising flames in the medicine cauldron and wraps up towards the purple hive flower.
The hot high temperature quickly burned the outer coat of purple ungulate flowers and gradually shrank and withered. Drops of green liquid slowly oozed out from the constantly shrinking and withered branches, gathering into a ball of green liquid beads.
The liquid beads gradually boil with the continuous roasting of high temperatures. As time goes by, the water gradually evaporates completely, leaving only a ball of green powder, exuding a faint fragrance.
"Huh~"
With the appearance of the blue powder, Tianxing subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and the medicinal power of Zi Xunhua was extracted by him.
As a great fighter, the fighting spirit consumed by refining first-grade elixirs is almost negligible, and he, with a strong soul power, did not feel too much fatigue at all.
Take out all the green powder and put it in a small bottle that has been prepared. Then, he did the same thing and refined the remaining medicinal materials one by one.
...
Two hours later, a layer of meticulous beads of sweat appeared on Tianxing's forehead. Such high-intensity refinement made him unable to bear it.
But the result was quite gratifying. Dozens of small porcelain bottles were placed in front of Tianxing, containing the essence of medicinal powers tempered by different medicinal materials, and they were arranged neatly.
Next, these medicinal essences are put into the medicine cauldron in proportion and merged again to temper the final Qi-Healing Powder.
After resting for a while, Tianxing added different medicinal essences to the medicine cauldron one by one, using the power of his soul to control the flames in the medicine cauldron, and began to gradually roast them.
As the temperature slowly rises, the essence of the fused medicinal power gradually condenses together, forming a rather viscous liquid.
With the continuous blessing of hot and high temperatures, the essence of liquid medicinal power has become more viscous, and the color has become brighter and brighter, showing a thick milky white.
Until a certain moment, Tianxing finally withdrew its Dou Qi and gradually extinguished the flames. A wisp of fragrance came out of the medicine cauldron and slowly drifted into Tianxing's nose.
Taking out the medicine liquid and pouring it into a jade bottle, the corner of Tianxing's mouth finally rose slightly, and then he burst into laughter uncontrollably.
...
...
