Chapter 256 Everything is for cultivation, Xiaohong wants to improve too much
Chen Yushu read it carefully.
Even though I haven't officially started refining the elixir yet, I have a rough idea in my mind.
I have already gained some confidence in refining elixirs, especially the Yuanqi Pill. All I need now is to try it out.
"So, let's give it a try?"
Thinking of this, Chen Yushu couldn't help but say to himself.
Because he actually has all kinds of materials around him and has the conditions to make the elixir.
Long before, he had asked the Liu family pharmacy to collect materials for him. Now, he not only had more than ten packages of materials needed for the Yuanqi Pill, but also five packages of materials for the Zhuanggu Pill.
Of course, these materials are not much.
However, there are some medicinal herbs that the Liu family pharmacy does not have in stock.
If you want to purchase in large quantities, you must go to other counties or even Tianling County City to purchase.
Although he immediately instructed the Liu Family Pharmacy to continue ordering medicinal materials after getting these materials, this would take time.
"With ten portions of Yuan Qi Pill materials, I can start trying to refine them.
It would be best if the Yuanqi Pill could be successfully refined.
If you fail, it's just a way to gain experience."
Chen Yushu thought silently, and then without hesitation, he quickly came to a separate room in the front yard.
This is the room he prepared for himself long ago specifically for alchemy, which is also the alchemy room that belongs exclusively to him.
Although it is far inferior to the alchemy rooms prepared by professional alchemists, it is barely sufficient.
Whether Chen Yushu is making talismans, practicing spells, or even performing the method of setting up an altar, his main focus is casualness, and it will not change because of what other cultivators do.
certainly.
The main reason is that he knows that the biggest factor affecting alchemy is actually the environment.
Especially when concentrating on refining the elixir, the slightest sound will actually have an impact on the alchemist who is in the state of refining the elixir.
For example, in the Liu family pharmacy, there is a special alchemy room, and no one is allowed to approach within a hundred meters.
Moreover, the room has been specially soundproofed, making it an absolutely enclosed place that almost eliminates any external influences.
In addition, various auxiliary measures are arranged very well.
certainly.
This doesn't mean much to Chen Yushu.
Because, all these external influences, in the final analysis, are due to the lack of concentration.
Initial stability, small stability, large stability, constant stability, constant stability...
Every state of meditation is a huge test of the cultivator's character.
The alchemists in the Liu family pharmacy are actually doctors in essence, and there is no such thing as entering a state of meditation.
Even if calculated strictly, it is only at the level of small concentration. Although the mind is calm, it is not stable and will be affected by the ups and downs of thoughts, big and small.
But he is now constant.
The state of meditation is extremely high.
It will not be affected by the outside world at all.
Even if he was in a noisy street surrounded by crowds of people, it would not affect him at all, and he could calmly start refining the elixir.
The only thing that can influence him is alchemy itself.
Think of this.
Chen Yushu did not hesitate any longer. After arriving at the alchemy room, he stretched out his hand and an alchemy furnace appeared in front of him.
Then he waved his hand again.
The materials were also placed aside.
Although these materials are the medicinal herbs he needs.
But the specifications are different from what he needs for alchemy.
Therefore, he could not directly refine it at this time, but had to start processing them one by one.
Fortunately, the medicinal materials themselves are all finished products, and he just processed them according to the materials needed for alchemy.
For example, for white lotus seeds, the heart must be removed and some of the green sprouts on the top must be picked off.
Because this tender sprout will conflict with another kind of purple cloud grass among the medicinal materials. Once it is added into the refining process, it will produce a special kind of Yuan Qi particles, which will greatly reduce the quality of the final Yuan Qi pill.
And the core must be diced into slices to better blend with all the herbs...
These are not the points that require attention mentioned in the recipe.
Instead, it was Chen Yushu who made some adjustments based on his understanding of the pharmacology of medicinal materials.
After all, he had worked as an apprentice in the Liu family pharmacy for a period of time, and had read many books on medicinal materials and pharmacology, so he naturally knew the ratios between the medicinal materials.
Essentially, pill recipes are created by monks who are extremely proficient in medicinal materials and pharmacology.
He believed that he had some understanding of the combination and pharmacology of medicinal materials, so he could naturally see some differences.
And this, to a certain extent, is the alchemy 'experience'.
The risks that may affect the success of the pill are eliminated in advance.
Fortunately, he was very quick and was adept at handling these medicinal herbs. The key was that there were not many materials, only ten in total.
So it only took him half an hour to process all the herbs.
"Then, light the fire and put in the wood~!"
Chen Yushu's gaze then fell on a sunken hole under the alchemy furnace.
It was also a place he specially built for making fire.
That’s right, alchemy is not that advanced.
Especially when refining this kind of primary elixir.
Just being refined by ordinary fire is enough.
certainly.
If it were some high-quality elixirs, it would be different.
The medicinal materials themselves are very special and difficult to refine through methods such as steaming and boiling.
At that time, it will be necessary to use special flames such as Dan Fire and Ling Fire to burn it.
Of course, he doesn't have such means at the moment.
So, this is why he was so conscientious in making the elixir by burning the fire.
soon.
Flames rose.
Chen Yushu first cleaned the alchemy furnace with clean water, and then began to gradually wait for the temperature of the alchemy furnace to rise.
His mental power began to observe.
One hundred, two hundred, three hundred.
Only after the alchemy furnace gradually turned red in temperature was the first ingredient added.
boom!
As soon as the materials entered, hot steam began to rise, and strands of medicinal liquid quickly overflowed. These medicinal liquids were essentially a kind of spiritual energy attached to them, so they would not continue to evaporate as the hot steam rose.
Instead, it gradually condenses and forms a special medicinal liquid.
In fact.
Essentially, when a cultivator refines elixirs, he needs to force out these spiritual liquids so that they can be integrated with various spiritual liquids to form the corresponding spiritual elixirs he needs.
Although the corresponding spiritual medicine liquid of these medicinal materials is relatively small due to their materials and age, the spiritual medicine liquid only affects the quality and quantity of the finished pills.
As long as you have the corresponding spiritual medicine, you can naturally make the pill.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yushu's mental power moved slightly, and he quickly entered the alchemy furnace and began to pull and gather these strands of spiritual medicine liquid.
Pinch the elixir technique.
Correspondingly, the spiritual energy liquid was stimulated by mental power to rotate slightly, eliminating some tiny impurities in it.
"The spiritual energy liquid of the first medicinal ingredient has come out."
Chen Yushu's eyes lit up slightly.
Then the second spiritual material was added, and then the third.
Every time he put in any spiritual material, he would carefully guide it with his mental power, so that the spiritual medicinal liquids were slightly isolated from each other.
Only after the third kind of spiritual medicine liquid was separated did he try to slowly collide and contact the first kind of spiritual medicine liquid and the third kind.
This is the necessary contact with the medicinal liquid during the alchemy process.
It is a special step similar to a chemical reaction.
The collision between the two is fierce yet gentle.
The intensity was due to the fact that both spiritual medicinal liquids contained impurities, and these impurities were incompatible with the medicinal liquids themselves. It was just that before, they maintained a delicate balance, which was why there was no reaction.
Until it collided with another kind of medicinal liquid, the reaction immediately became intense.
The reason for its mildness is that the two medicinal liquids complement each other. Once they are close to each other, they naturally attract each other and can blend together perfectly.
"Fortunately, under my mental control, this rejection reaction has little impact."
Chen Yushu noticed that the two spiritual medicinal liquids merged smoothly together, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
Then he began to blend the third kind of spiritual medicine into it.
Although there was inevitably a rejection reaction and the spiritual medicine liquid would evaporate, everything went smoothly in the end.
So, he started to add the fourth and fifth medicinal herbs.
Then comes the sixth and seventh.
Sometimes you invest in all three at once.
Then start to blend the corresponding spiritual medicine liquids in a certain order and proportion.
This is a very delicate process.
The monks are required to have extremely high mental control abilities.
Even Chen Yushu felt a little tired when he occasionally practiced one or two alchemy techniques, and his mental strength was even a little lacking.
“This is the eleventh spiritual material.
And it’s one of the main ingredients.”
Chen Yushu took out something like a piece of wood.
This is earth spirit wood, very hard, but the spiritual medicine contained in it is of the purest quality.
Of course, the most difficult thing is to merge it with the previous spiritual medicine.
Chen Yushu carefully controlled the temperature and kept adding firewood to the alchemy furnace.
It is worth mentioning that the wood he used was not ordinary. It was a kind of wood called burning mountain wood. Once ignited, it could burn and melt mountains. It was not only fire-resistant, but also produced extremely high temperatures.
It is also the preferred wood used by ordinary low-level alchemists, whether they are ordinary people making pills or beginner alchemists among monks.
After Chen Yushu added the burning mountain wood, he noticed that the temperature in the alchemy furnace began to rise again. After reaching a certain level, the earth spirit wood in the alchemy furnace finally began to carbonize gradually, and then wisps of special spiritual energy were forced out one after another.
Chen Yushu carefully controlled the traction.
Mental power is illusory. Even if the temperature in the alchemy furnace has reached a terrifying level, it will not have the slightest effect on his mental power.
Mental strength cannot feel temperature.
In other words, the influence of external temperature can be directly shielded.
Therefore, Chen Yushu can freely control the spiritual medicine liquid and melt it into a furnace.
After being forced out, strands of spiritual medicinal liquid were immediately pulled together by him.
Ten strands, twenty strands, thirty strands... a hundred strands turned into drops. After three hundred strands, three drops were formed.
But that's about it.
Of course, there must be abundant spiritual energy in the earth spirit wood, but the grade of the alchemy furnace is not high, and the alchemy environment he is in is also limited. Being able to force out three drops successfully is already considered good.
Then, Chen Yushu did not insist and immediately controlled the three drops of spiritual medicine belonging to the Earth Spirit Wood and combined them with the materials condensed before.
boom!
bump!
moment.
A muffled sound came from the alchemy furnace.
Immediately afterwards, a thick black smoke rose up.
Failed!
Chen Yushu's face immediately showed astonishment.
This happened so suddenly that he was unable to react.
At that moment, he only felt that the two spiritual medicinal liquids quickly merged together the moment they came into contact.
But soon, a certain balance was broken, and immediately that drop of spiritual medicine began to collapse and shatter, and finally turned into black smoke and disappeared completely.
Even Chen Yushu had already prepared himself mentally.
I also know that refining elixirs, like practicing magic, is never achieved overnight. It requires constant attempts and repeated failures before it can be successfully refined.
It was just that it happened so suddenly that he couldn't react.
However, at this time, as he gradually recalled and thought, he soon made a discovery: "It is the spiritual medicine liquid contained in the earth spirit tree, there is too much of it.
Three drops of earth spirit wood medicinal liquid poured in at the same time. When the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, the ball of spiritual medicinal liquid naturally could not withstand it.
This was followed by the failure.
However, according to the steps of the recipe, he was right.
It's just that the spiritual energy content in the Earth Spirit Wood medicine is too abundant, so I shouldn't pour it all in at once, but only put in half a drop or a drop at the beginning, and then gradually increase it.
This is the most difficult part of refining the Yuan Qi Pill."
Chen Yushu pondered for a moment and carefully analyzed the problems he had encountered during the previous refining process.
Then, with the help of the constant state, the corresponding possible situations that may be encountered when refining the elixir are simulated, and the problems encountered when refining the elixir just now are optimized. Although the problems encountered have been solved, the handling is not perfect.
Of course, the most important thing is that he still needs to restore his mental strength to perfection.
After a session of refining the elixir, he consumed a lot of mental energy.
Even if it is not exhausted, most of it has been consumed.
He naturally needed to restore it to its peak before he could continue refining it.
In this way, after half an hour, Chen Yushu finally recovered completely.
He quickly cleaned the alchemy furnace, and then began to refine again.
Still the same steps as before.
It was just a matter of refining the elixir again, and Chen Yushu was obviously much more skilled, and his every move was more calm.
Thanks to the attribute panel, he would hardly encounter any difficulties before smelting the eleventh spiritual medicine liquid.
The tenth, the eleventh.
After he took out the Earth Spirit Wood again, he took a deep breath and quickly threw it into the alchemy furnace.
