Chen Sheng's foundation in alchemy has been greatly consolidated. He has learned the strengths of the three schools and integrated them into himself. His understanding of alchemy has surpassed all other alchemy apprentices.
"You can start the furnace to make elixirs now."
Xi Fu, Master Ding Dan and Master Fei Dan said at the same time.
Mr. Chen's foundation in Dandao has been laid very solidly, and it is time to enter the next stage.
"Is it really possible?"
Mr. Chen was a little nervous because his level was far behind Xi Fu and others.
With so many outstanding examples before him, he felt a gap and did not dare to compete or be proud.
"Opening the furnace to refine the elixir doesn't mean you can make the elixir, it just means that this kind of failure is inevitable."
Xi Fu is patient and instructive, showing the demeanor of an elder.
It is impossible to make elixirs with only theoretical knowledge of alchemy. There are too many unexpected situations during the alchemy process. If one point is wrong, it will fail.
Only by practicing can you avoid the trap.
Even experienced alchemists like them failed several times before they gradually grasped the rhythm and made progress step by step.
"Usually, people who are refining pills for the first time will choose to refine Qi Condensation Pills. This is the best way to verify the level of a first-level alchemist."
Master Fei Dan was not careless. He took out a storage bag and said, "Here are the raw materials."
In the storage bag, there are twenty sets of raw materials for Qi Condensation Pills, which are enough for Chen Sheng to fail and accumulate initial experience.
"Chi Xun, this is an alchemy furnace I used before. I'll give it to you."
What Master Ding gave was an alchemy furnace, which was bright red and full of spirituality. It was what he used to make elixirs in his early years.
There was a special meaning behind this passing down at this time, hoping that Chen Sheng would be like him and stand firmly on the path of becoming an alchemist.
"I have built an alchemy room for you. From now on, you will have your own alchemy room in Chenguang Palace."
The three elements of alchemy are the alchemy furnace, magical herbs, and alchemy fire.
The first two were given away. Xi Fu couldn't find any special spiritual fire. Besides, Chen Sheng was a person who had just stepped into the path of alchemy, so he didn't need such advanced things. He could just turn the gas into fire.
Therefore, he chose to build an alchemy room for Chen Sheng.
An alchemist needs a quiet environment to ensure that he will not be interrupted during the alchemy process.
"I will become an alchemist."
Mr. Chen felt a deep sense of love and care. Xi Fu and the other two were truly kind-hearted elders. They were like sparks, lighting the way forward for those who came after them.
He will remember this broad mind, and when he meets a younger generation with potential, he will pass it on.
…
The alchemy room is empty all around, with the only embellishment being the array patterns. When there is a furnace explosion or something like that, they will revive and absorb the surging spiritual energy.
“Buzz…”
Chen Sheng threw the Chixun furnace out, and the powerful magic power fell on the void. It grew bigger and turned into a meter-high object, fixed on the ground. The whole body was shining with brilliant red light, which was extremely magical.
"Good alchemy furnace, I'll depend on you to make the alchemy from now on."
He pressed his palm on the Chixun furnace, and magic power poured down. The runes on the fire mouth floated and condensed into a ball of raging flames.
The hot air and the light of the flames immediately illuminated the entire alchemy room.
Whoosh! Chen Sheng had already memorized the recipe for the Qi Condensation Pill. As he was refining the pill, his mind turned, and the order of the various spiritual herbs and the degree of refining all flowed through his mind.
It's simple to say and simple to think, but in the process of alchemy, a small mistake can cause a collapse.
"not good."
Sure enough, a small part of the spiritual herbs wilted immediately, and the balance in the alchemy furnace was broken. The huge medicinal power rushed around randomly, and even though he tried his best to suppress it, he still couldn't hold on.
Boom! The furnace exploded.
The Chi Xun furnace shook violently and jumped an inch high from the ground. The lid of the furnace was blown over and pitch-black smoke rolled up, filling the alchemy room with darkness.
Chen Sheng was covered in dust and dirt, and there was no trace of the demeanor of an immortal cultivator left.
"It's okay. If you don't blow up the furnace a few times, you're not called an alchemist."
Mr. Chen took a deep breath, calmed himself, and tried again.
Xi Fu said that when he was refining pills in his early years, his pills exploded several times, which was why he embarked on the path of becoming an alchemist.
"call……"
The Chixun furnace was heated up again, and all kinds of spiritual herbs were thrown into it. The blazing flames rushed up, melting the spiritual herbs and turning them into pure medicinal liquid. Fiery red smoke floated out from the holes in the furnace, mixed with wisps of gray-brown impurities.
After the purification step was completed, Mr. Chen began the pharmacological organization.
This is the hardest part.
The alchemy furnace can be seen as a world in fire, and pharmacology is the rule of heaven and earth. Only when the rules are set correctly can the elixir be produced.
The Qi Condensing Pill contains sixteen kinds of spiritual herbs, and the pharmacology of each is layered on top of each other. You have to be neither too fast nor too slow, and no mistakes can be made. Any mistake will result in all the previous efforts being wasted.
Boom! When the sixth spiritual herb was blended, the spiritual herbs in the previous sequence did not end perfectly, leaving a small tail. Immediately, the world in the furnace changed drastically, as if a thunderstorm had arrived, and all the spiritual herbs were shattered.
This time, the furnace explosion was more serious.
The brutal and violent medicinal power stimulated the expansion of the elixir fire, breaking through the furnace cover and scattering like a canopy of firework all around the sky.
The entire alchemy room suffered a catastrophe. Fire dragons raged through the room, leaving traces of smoke and fire on the walls.
Fortunately, the great formation protected and absorbed the fire energy, so it did not get out of control and not cause both the person and the alchemy furnace to be blown up.
“Come again!”
Mr. Chen's clothes were burnt yellow, but his eyes were still bright, flashing with an indomitable light, as if he would never be defeated.
With Xifu’s explosive remarks in the past, he can withstand even if he fails ten times.
Fryer.
Fryer.
Fryer.
Next, strange noises were heard from time to time in the Chenguan Hall, and fire rose to the sky from the top, with black smoke filling the air. This attracted several medicine house stewards to come and inquire, but they were all pushed back by Xi Fu.
"It's exploded so many times, will it work?"
Master Ding Dan felt uneasy. The noise caused by Chen Sheng exploding the furnace was too loud. For a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, it was a huge burden.
"You don't know Chen Xiaoyou's temperament yet. He is very stable."
Master Fei Dan was able to remain calm. He planted spiritual herbs with Chen Sheng and knew that this young man had a calm temperament and was aware of the warmth and cold. When he couldn't bear it anymore, he would definitely run away.
"You also need a healthy body to make pills, otherwise you won't be able to bear it."
Xifu's psychological trauma was all brought out. When the furnace exploded, he would quickly run out of the alchemy room, but he was still seriously injured.
In a sense, Mr. Chen is already very strong. At least his body is in good shape. He has experienced many setbacks, but he is still as steady as a rock and maintains a steady demeanor.
