In fact, Hu Peng also knew that asking this question was indeed a bit abrupt.
What if this is someone's unique alchemy skill? How could they possibly pass it on to others?
However, Lu Minxing was willing to give advice at this time. After all, he knew that if he didn't show some real ability, how could he gain others' recognition?
Lu Minxing smiled and said, "First, let's talk about these five pills. I don't understand why you're so surprised. You can weigh them. Aside from some impurities and losses, they're basically the same."
“But, but…”
Hu Peng and Wei Tao were both confused and didn't know what to say.
Is this a weight issue?
How can it be possible that when refining an elixir, the amount of medicinal materials put in will equal the amount of elixir that comes out? This is common sense among all alchemists!
Seeing their expressions, Lu Minxing understood and continued, "Actually, alchemy is a chemical reaction process. If the mass is not conserved, it means that the reaction is definitely not complete, so some of it becomes what you call slag."
“The extra herb I added was actually a catalyst, and shaking the furnace later was also to make the reaction more complete.
“As for the question of whether I added the herbs at the wrong time… actually, it should be proven now that my timing was right.
"Our alchemy methods have been passed down from generation to generation and are considered to be the accumulation of experience of our predecessors, so they are error-free. Furthermore, medicinal materials are precious and we cannot bear to waste them. Therefore, alchemists nowadays rarely create their own elixirs, and they dare not try to correct past mistakes.
"As for the methods of teaching alchemy, they're always vague, mostly just saying you can control the temperature yourself, relying on experience and intuition. Actually, alchemy is a very rigorous scientific experiment, and the temperature is very strictly calculated. As long as you strictly follow the formula, you won't fail..."
Hu Peng and Wei Tao were actually completely confused. Unable to understand, their ears became just a buzzing sound, and they could only hear Lu Minxing's mouth moving.
What "chemical reaction", what "conservation of mass", what "catalyst", what "complete reaction", what "scientific experiment"...
What the hell is this?
I don’t understand, but never mind. Anyway, I know they have found a treasure. This is a master of alchemy!
Hu Peng knew that he had to keep this great god! This might be the key to his promotion within the sect!
In the following days, Lu Minxing and Nan Jinping lived much more comfortably.
Lu Minxing refines pills every day, and the rewards can be spirit stones or spiritual medicines.
This was also what Hu Peng was most satisfied with. Other alchemists would take a cut of the pills. For example, if three pills were made, the alchemist would take one.
Compared to spirit stones and spiritual medicine, this refined elixir is a more precious thing! It's great that this alchemist doesn't want the elixir.
There was just one thing that made Hu Peng feel very strange. If there were no spiritual stones or spiritual medicines, this alchemist would also collect some materials that could be used to refine weapons.
Since ancient times, alchemists and weapon refiners have been incompatible. Moreover, everyone has their own specialties and people do not have enough energy to be proficient in everything. Therefore, those who can make alchemy cannot make weapons, and those who can make weapons cannot make alchemy.
Is this Lu Xing still thinking about refining weapons?
Of course Lu Minxing was still thinking about refining equipment, after all, he was still thinking about his induction cooker!
However, while enjoying the delicious food and drinks in Yuxuan Shop, the couple couldn't help but think of their two children.
Are they still in the deep mountains and forests, starving?
During this period, they used sound transmission notes to contact Lu Xianyun and Lu Muyun several times, but they were unable to get through. They didn't know whether it was because they were too far away, or whether the two had entered a place where the signal could not reach them.
What Lu Minxing and Nan Jinping didn’t know was that when they were trying to contact their son and daughter, Lu Xianyun and Lu Muyun were in the ruins of Lingxiao Sect, so naturally they couldn’t get in touch with them.
But it just so happened that when they came out of Lingxiao Sect, their parents stopped contacting them.
At this moment, Lu Xianyun was attracted by what the system said.
"Refine a weapon out of thin air? System, how is this possible!"
Because he didn't have a refining furnace, even though Lu Xianyun had such good materials as flowing iron, he couldn't make a pot.
Just when Lu Xianyun was worrying about where to find the refining furnace, the system gave him a suggestion.
"In fact, the host does not need to worry. Even if there is no refining furnace, you can still refine the weapon."
In his previous life, he had read quite a few novels by Lu Xianyun, but none of them had ever written about refining weapons out of thin air without a furnace.
"Host, the purpose of refining in a furnace is to allow various materials to fully react in a sealed environment, and to prevent changes in the materials from affecting the outside world. Therefore, the material of the furnace must be strong and durable, and also able to insulate heat.
"In fact, the host can also use spiritual power to do this. Use spiritual power to simulate the furnace and throw the refining materials into it.
"And there's another advantage to using spiritual energy to form a cauldron. With a regular refining furnace, you have to worry about whether the materials are heated evenly. But with a spiritual energy cauldron wrapping the materials, the heating temperature can be more easily controlled."
It’s so easy to say!
Lu Xianyun sighed in his heart.
This required even higher levels of control over spiritual energy! Using spiritual energy to create a sealed environment while also heating it was no easier than controlling the fire and wind while practicing boiling water!
Inexplicably, Lu Xianyun heard a hint of encouragement in the system's tone.
This system seems to want her to refine the weapon with her bare hands!
"In that case, system, you have to let me practice for a while! I can't just start refining with this flowing iron!" Lu Xianyun said meaningfully.
"The virtual refining room can continue to be used." The system said.
This is exactly what Lu Xianyun was waiting for!
If the virtual refining room cannot be used, she will not have a constant supply of flowing iron.
So, Lu Xianyun began this unprecedented action in the world of cultivation - refining weapons with his bare hands.
Lu Xianyun even wondered, if he could really refine weapons with his bare hands, could he also refine pills with his bare hands? He wondered if his father's system would teach him even that much.
Previously, using the refining furnace to refine the pot allowed Lu Xianyun to learn some theoretical basics, and now this is a more advanced training course.
Lu Xianyun became a novice again, and wasted piece after piece of flowing iron.
However, these days have not been without any gains. At least my brother's swordsmanship has become more and more proficient, and his power has become more and more amazing.
It's also easier to grab something in this desert.
For example, this.
"Sister, look at this! Is this edible? Do you want to raise it?"
At first glance, Lu Xianyun thought her brother had returned riding an ostrich.
