Chapter 279: Fire Control Technique, Refining Bone Strengthening Pills
“Look at it this way.
Even if I specialize in one recipe, I might be able to improve my alchemy skills to a mastery level?"
Chen Yushu calculated silently and soon shook his head.
If the pill formula is perfect and the corresponding alchemy skills are also improved to perfection, then naturally, his alchemy skills can also be cut into more than 100 experience points and improved to the proficient level.
But the time required is quite a lot.
And it is impossible for him to really spend all his time on Yuanqi Pills.
However, he did not change the pill formula immediately.
But he continued to refine the Yuanqi Pill.
In addition to the fact that he had enough materials on hand, he had also improved the pill recipe to a small level of success.
Naturally, I want to experience the effect of the Yuanqi Pill recipe for the Minor Success Realm.
So quickly, he cleaned the alchemy furnace again, and then took out one... two corresponding spiritual materials for the Yuanqi Pill.
This time, he suddenly had an idea and realized that he didn't have to follow the principle of using only one material to make the elixir.
It is entirely possible to use two, three, or even five parts of ten materials to make pills.
That's exactly the case at this moment.
Before, with his alchemy skills, it would have been difficult for him to master such a large amount of materials for refining.
But now, it just takes a little effort.
So, he followed the steps, and when the flame temperature reached a certain level, he threw out the first material.
Two servings!
Sizzle...
Soon, strands of spiritual medicinal liquid were forced out and then gathered together by him.
Following the trend is a technique of throwing pills.
The spiritual medicine liquid that has just been made is often not pure enough and contains a lot of medicinal residues. He needs to throw away those medicinal residues first to improve the spiritual purity of the medicine liquid.
If it was before, when the pill-throwing technique was only at the proficient level, when he used the pill-throwing technique, in addition to the impurities, a lot of spiritual medicine liquid would also be thrown out.
Now, as he has become more proficient in the art of alchemy, most of what he throws out are impurities and dregs.
It can greatly preserve the purity of the spiritual medicine liquid.
Then comes the second and third types.
For each type, he put in two materials at the same time.
This is also a great test for the cultivator's ability to control alchemy.
After all, two materials cannot be calcined as quickly as one material.
At the same time, the flame temperature needs to be maintained so that it reaches a fluctuating threshold. Whether it is too high or too low, it will affect the quality of the pill.
"pity.
I haven't mastered the art of controlling fire yet, otherwise refining pills would be much smoother.
Fire control is also a kind of alchemy skill, and it is not difficult to practice.
You just have to nurture the spark within your body.
In other words, one must practice a true fire spell, or refine the fire of heaven and earth, so that one can truly use the art of controlling fire.
As for conventional fire control techniques?
In fact, it is just a wind-attribute spell that can only affect the shape of the flame, but it cannot accurately control the shape and temperature of the flame when refining the elixir.
There is a difference between the two.
The art of fire control in alchemy requires skill, which is the ability to forcibly raise or lower the flame temperature by hundreds or thousands of degrees in a short period of time.
However, general fire control techniques can only extinguish or intensify the fire, but the specific temperature cannot be precisely controlled.
However, whether it is the true fire spell or the fire of heaven and earth, they are not so easy to obtain.
Feeling emotional in his heart, Chen Yushu began to refine the elixir step by step.
Until finally, it condensed into a fist-sized, oval-shaped spiritual medicine liquid.
Without hesitation, he used the pill-condensing technique.
Next, it was the art of dividing the elixir and throwing the elixir...
The last one is the art of collecting pills.
As the elixirs flew out one after another, a smile appeared on Chen Yushu's face.
Six pills were made.
One medium-grade Yuanqi Pill and five low-grade Yuanqi Pills.
He was not surprised by this result.
I just really felt that the quality of the pills improved as my alchemy skills improved.
You know, the outcome of this mid-grade elixir is not something he can control.
But success is achieved naturally.
The key point is that in addition to this mid-grade elixir, he could clearly feel that the quality of the other five low-grade elixirs was also better than the previous ones.
Although it still hasn't reached the level of being able to make a mid-grade elixir, it's already much better than the barely finished elixir that was condensed at the beginning.
Yuanqi Pill Recipe +6
"really.
My idea is correct.
With the improvement of alchemy skills, refining only one elixir is not only inefficient, but the quality of the elixir is also relatively limited.
After all, the amount of spiritual medicine in a piece of material is limited.
Even if one wants to refine the corresponding mid-grade or high-grade elixir, it is almost impossible.
It's just a mid-grade elixir, and the amount of spiritual liquid required takes up most of the ingredients.
Top-grade elixirs are naturally even more terrifying.
The spiritual energy contained in just one piece of material naturally cannot be supplied.
Only when multiple materials are combined together can a top-grade, or even top-grade, elixir be truly forged.
Not to mention, by refining double the materials, my experience points will also increase by double.
In this way, I can quickly improve my alchemy skills and save a lot of time."
After realizing this, Chen Yushu felt relieved and immediately gained more insights into alchemy.
Yuanqi Pill Recipe +9
I actually gained more experience in making pills.
So he started refining the elixir again.
And this time, he directly took three portions of materials for refining.
Then four more, and five more.
However, after melting the five materials, Chen Yushu immediately felt the strain.
There was a slight error in the control of the ratio between the materials.
boom!
A ball of fire suddenly burst out.
Most of the spiritual medicine liquid was directly refined into a charred color.
Even if he managed to complete the alchemy with the help of the remaining materials, he could only produce a low-grade Yuanqi Pill in the end.
“Five servings, is that the limit?
However, this is probably my current limit.
After all, I am still a novice in alchemy.
There will inevitably be many things that are not considered.
Only by practicing more and mastering more convenient alchemy techniques can you make more progress and thus smelt more materials at once to make more pills."
Chen Yushu was quite sober.
With his constant level of meditation and his fairly strong mental strength, it was not a problem for him to consciously master the five ingredients to make the elixir.
The real reason for the mistake, after all, is the lack of alchemy skills.
The limitations of alchemy methods.
“Fortunately.
I can quickly improve my alchemy skills by refining other elixirs."
After not feeling any progress on one elixir, at least not seeing much effect in the short term, Chen Yushu naturally thought of another elixir.
Bone strengthening pill!
Long before, Chen Yushu had memorized the recipe of the bone strengthening pill and pondered it many times.
Mainly because of his current state of meditation, plus he already has a certain foundation in alchemy, it is actually much easier for him to become familiar with and master other alchemy recipes.
It's not as confusing as before.
Therefore, at this time, there will be no stagnation when starting to refine the bone strengthening pill.
He then took out a corresponding spiritual material.
First, use the soul-sealing technique to clean the alchemy furnace.
Then add more wood to increase the flame temperature.
Compared with the Yuanqi Pill, the flame temperature required to refine the Zhuanggu Pill is even higher.
In order to maintain the corresponding temperature, Chen Yushu specially filled it with wood.
When the temperature rises and reaches a certain limit.
Then he threw in the first ingredient needed for the bone strengthening pill.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
After five full breaths, a trace of spiritual medicine liquid was forced out.
"really.
The requirements for refining the flame for the Bone Strengthening Pill are much higher than those for the Vitality Pill.
Fortunately, it is only a first-grade elixir, so the temperature requirement is limited no matter how high it is.
Only elixirs of the second grade and above require the use of spiritual fire, pill fire, and true fire..."
Chen Yushu breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did he begin to continue refining.
Compared with Yuanqi Dan, Zhuanggu Dan has more complex requirements in terms of the fusion of spiritual energy and medicinal liquid.
In the Yuanqi Pill, the fusion of the spiritual medicinal liquid between the materials is often a fusion between single portions.
However, the bone strengthening pill requires three ingredients to be fused together.
The required alchemy skills will naturally be greatly improved, and the alchemist needs to have an extremely high level of control over his own mental strength and the state of the spiritual medicine.
Fortunately.
After Chen Yushu's previous training with the Yuanqi Pill, his various alchemy skills have also improved greatly.
At this time, refining was surprisingly smooth.
A few mistakes only resulted in a certain amount of spiritual energy and medicine being wasted, but there were no irreparable errors.
So, smoothly, he reached the last step.
He used the Dan Condensation Technique, Dan Separation Technique, and Dan Throwing Technique...
After some time.
The elixir-collecting technique is used.
Two shiny elixirs flew out from it.
Compared to the silver-white color of the Yuanqi Pill, this Zhuanggu Pill is gray-black in color.
But the appearance does not affect its effect at all.
“The pills are ready, two.
They are all low-grade elixirs."
Looking at the elixir in his hand, a smile appeared on Chen Yushu's face.
The first time I refined it, I succeeded.
In addition to his extremely high level of meditation and profound mental strength, the foundation laid by refining the Yuanqi Pill before is also of paramount importance.
If it weren't for the refinement of the Yuanqi Pill, which improved his alchemy skills and brought the corresponding pill-dividing and pill-shaking techniques to a small level of success, he would not have been able to refine the Bone Strengthening Pill so smoothly.
Feeling satisfied, his eyes fell on the attribute panel.
Sure enough, I found the entry-level word for the Bone Strengthening Pill I picked up.
Introduction to the Zhuanggu Pill Recipe (1/100)
And correspondingly, the art of alchemy has also improved a little.
A little bit though not much.
But it also made him more certain that he only needed to master enough elixir recipes, and naturally, he would be able to improve his corresponding alchemy skills.
After getting started with the Bone Strengthening Pill, the rest becomes easy.
He quickly began to repeatedly refine the elixir.
After two or three times of proficiency.
He immediately started refining by adding two or three portions of materials together.
Correspondingly, his experience in alchemy also increased rapidly.
Bone Strengthening Pill +8
Bone Strengthening Pill +9
Bone Strengthening Pill +11
…
It only takes about ten times of refining.
He improved the recipe of the Bone Strengthening Pill to the level of mastery.
It was also the first time that a mid-grade bone-strengthening pill was refined.
“The mid-grade bone strengthening pill contains quite a lot of spiritual energy.
Perhaps it can also enhance the strength of my bones?"
Chen Yushu looked at the elixir in front of him and couldn't help but feel excited.
He didn’t care too much about the previous Yuanqi Pill even if he could refine it to the top grade.
Because the spiritual energy content of the top-grade Yuanqi Pill is actually not as much as what he absorbs by practicing his skills, and he also has to prevent the harm of pill poison.
Even the elixir of the highest quality contains very little elixir poison. As long as you don't take it like a sugar pill, there will generally be no problem of elixir poison left over.
Naturally, it can be adjusted and eliminated.
But his state of meditation was too high.
Even a powerful person like Huangshan Patriarch, when he enters the state of meditation, is estimated to be at this level.
The vital energy of heaven and earth absorbed and transformed every time it moves is naturally extremely terrifying.
Shallow stability, small stability, large stability, constant stability, constant stability...
In addition, he has now cultivated the Huangshan visualization method to a small degree of success and is about to achieve great success.
Indeed, every time the exercises are performed, the heaven and earth vital energy that can be provided is no less than that of a top-grade vital energy pill.
Naturally, there is no need for such a elixir.
Only the second-grade Dao Yuan Dan can improve and increase his Dao Yuan strength to a certain extent.
But the Bone Strengthening Pill is different.
Even though he had previously practiced martial arts and strengthened his body, both externally and internally, he had already improved his skeleton to the extreme.
There are also techniques such as Medicine King Posture, Medicine King Locking Strength, Medicine King Swallowing Thunder Sound, Tiger Roaring Dragon Roaring, etc., which are constantly improving.
However, the bone strengthening pill is equivalent to the Yin body refining method, which improves the bone strength of the cultivator.
It is a kind of expansion of another practice system.
What grows stronger is the strength of the skeleton's core.
It can indeed improve his physical constitution and bones to a certain extent.
Thinking of this, Chen Yushu couldn't help but swallow the bone-strengthening pill.
Instantly, I felt a warm current flowing through my body.
And there were strands of vital energy flowing into his limbs and bones all over his body.
Continuously bless and strengthen your own bone strength, and flush and strengthen the inside of your bones.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
After one stick of incense.
Chen Yushu slowly opened his eyes.
“It seems like there has been some improvement, but it also seems like there hasn’t been much change.
Sure enough, after the strength of the skeleton reaches a certain level, it is difficult to increase it further with ordinary external force.
The power contained in the mid-grade bone strengthening pill is still a little lacking.
Perhaps, only a top-grade bone strengthening pill can make a noticeable difference."
After experiencing it, Chen Yushu couldn't help but sigh.
