The elixir of immortality is, after all, a medicine that prolongs life, so the first elixir formula Qin Ran constructed contained all tonic substances, such as hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, thousand-year-old ginseng, and ten-thousand-year-old deer antler.
According to his idea, the medicinal power of these elixirs should be extracted and combined according to pharmacology to achieve the superposition of medicinal power, so as to break through the category of tonic medicine and achieve the purpose of prolonging life.
So, he prepared the herbs and went straight to the alchemy room, but not the earth fire room. Because the elixir of immortality was of great importance, he planned to use the water refining method he was best at, rather than the fire refining method.
Arriving at the alchemy quenching room, he took out the Jiuzhou Ding and placed it in the center of the room.
Walking to the Jiuzhou Ding, Qin Ran took out all the ingredients for the elixir of immortality that he had deduced and threw them all into the Jiuzhou Ding; then he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the Jiuzhou Ding, closed his eyes, and his magic power, elixir water, and soul power all came out at the same time.
He used his magic power to activate the Jiuzhou Ding, helping to extract the essence of the medicinal power and increase the success rate of alchemy; he used the elixir water to separate the materials, and each kind of medicinal material was wrapped in the elixir water separately, so that they were not connected to each other; he controlled these steps with the power of his soul, and at the same time carried out the first step of water-based alchemy, which was to extract the medicinal power.
The first step in fire-based alchemy is to refine the medicinal materials with alchemy fire (if there is no alchemy fire, earth fire can be used), burning away all impurities and leaving only the essence of the medicine; while the water-based alchemy is to use alchemy water to extract the essence of the medicine from the medicinal materials, leaving behind the impurities.
Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the steps of alchemy vary greatly depending on the method.
Qin Ran used the water method to refine the elixir, but his method was extremely rough. Thanks to his powerful spiritual power and his skillful alchemy skills, he could refine all the medicinal materials at once.
Look at Long Qiqi. Like her, she adds the herbs one by one carefully. The amount and timing of adding need to be considered very carefully. That is the normal step of an alchemist in making elixirs.
Because if you are not careful enough, big problems may arise in the second step of alchemy.
The second step of alchemy is to fuse the elixir to form a rough elixir. The fire refining method is to fuse the pure medicinal essence refined by the pharmacological structure of the elixir; while the water refining method is to combine the medicinal essence in the elixir water, which is to combine the various parts of the elixir water according to the pharmacological structure.
The operation of fusing the essence of medicinal power is extremely delicate, and any tiny difference may ruin the entire pill. If the medicinal materials are added one by one, then this step will be spread out over each step of the first step, and there will be opportunities for adjustment and stop loss.
However, with a rough refining method like Qin Ran's, the margin for error is much smaller...if the power of the soul is weaker, it will definitely fail.
After extracting all the pharmacological essence, Qin Ran hurriedly increased the input of his spiritual power to begin melting the pill.
For a beginner like Long Qiqi, extracting the medicinal power might be the most difficult step in the entire alchemy process; but for an old hand like Qin Ran, fusing the elixir is the most critical step.
The ability to extract medicinal power can be reached at a high level with more practice in a short time; however, it is different for fusing elixirs. Every time you refine an elixir, it will be a new experience because the extraction efficiency of medicinal materials is different.
Qin Ran’s spiritual power was strong enough, and after several adjustments, he obtained the rough embryos of three “Eternal Life Pills”.
The rough product of the fire refining method is a pharmacological combination of medicinal essence, so at this time you only need to increase the fire and bake it, and the pill can be out of the oven instantly; and the rough product of the water refining method is a ball of medicinal essence wrapped in pill water, at this time you need to extract the pill water and then you can get the pill.
Did you find that? Relatively speaking, the fire refining method is more difficult at the beginning, while the water refining method is more difficult at the end.
The fire refining method can easily burn the medicinal materials during refining, while the water refining method can easily damage the rough elixir during extraction.
The process of extracting the elixir water took up the most time, even though Qin Ran's soul power was strong enough and he had a good control over his power.
Finally, three blue-black pills appeared in the Jiuzhou Cauldron.
Qin Ran looked at the three spinning pills and couldn't help feeling excited... That excitement wasn't because of the excitement of refining the elixir of immortality, but because every time he refined a new pill, he couldn't help feeling excited, as if he was welcoming a new life.
He took two deep breaths, suppressed his excited heart, and took the pill in his right hand; he looked at the pills lying obediently in his palm, picked up one with his left hand, and put it into his mouth, wanting to try out the effect of this "elixir of life".
But he stopped before the pill touched his lips.
It was too dangerous and unsafe to test the elixir on myself, even though it was an "elixir of immortality" made from tonic herbs. ..
At this moment, Qin Ran once again thought about breeding "little white mice". However, he did not know how to tame beasts, so it was too difficult to breed little white mice suitable for cultivating immortals.
He thought about it, put away the pill, and turned to walk out of the research building.
It was already late at night and Danfeng was pitch dark.
Qin Ran walked around Danfeng and finally stopped by Xijian Lake. He looked into the lake, picked up a fish, pinched its mouth open, and stuffed a pill of immortality into it.
"You are lucky to have such a treasure." He shook his head.
As he spoke, he made a mark on the fish to make it easier to record how long the fish lived and whether it would exceed its lifespan limit.
After doing all this, it was already very late at night. Qin Ran felt tired after refining the elixir, so he went straight back to his room to sleep.
The next day, he was still sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by Zhuifeng's roar: "Dad, Dad! There are bad guys! Bad guys..."
Qin Ran got up with hazy eyes and angrily opened the door to the corridor.
Down the corridor, on the lawn, Zhuifeng ran over and was about to jump onto the corridor, but he stopped when he saw Qin Ran coming out. He stood on three legs, raised one paw, pointed to the Sword Washing Lake, and said, "Dad, over there, there are fish!"
Xijian Lake, fish?
Qin Ran woke up instantly, realized something, and quickly used his skills to come to the Sword Washing Lake.
Wow!
What a hell picture scroll! !
The original Xijian Lake had clear water, with clouds and mist on the surface, fish and shrimp in the lake, various aquatic animals bought by the Danfeng people, lotus and water plants, and the lakeside was also green with grass, flowers and trees. This was the scenery of Xijian Lake that the Danfeng people had managed for more than half a year.
The water of Xijian Lake is now pitch black, with green mist rising from the surface. All creatures in the lake are dead and floating on the surface. Fish are turning upside down. The trees on the shore, which were planted by Qin Ran one by one, are now a little withered.
Qin Ran looked at this horrific human tragedy and fell into deep thought...
Could it be that he was infected by Long Qiqi? !
"Dad, there are bad guys!" Zhuifeng came over and ran around the lake, looking for the culprit who invaded Danfeng.
Qin Ran scooped up a little lake water and examined it carefully. It was indeed the pill he had fed him yesterday.
He looked up at the sky in silence.
Long Qiqi's poison pill was made according to her specific conditions. It was poisonous to others, but she could eat it. But the "elixir of immortality" made by Qin Ran...
Qin Ran now had to suspect that it was actually him who influenced Long Qiqi.
While Zhui Feng was running away, Qin Ran hurriedly used the Jiuzhou Ding to collect the lake water, then took out a pill and pondered over it.
"No! Master! Don't!" Suddenly, a clear voice of a baby was heard. Qin Ran looked over and saw the Devouring Demonic Willow shaking its branches and leaves, begging for mercy.
It seemed that this tree knew everything. Qin Ran narrowed his eyes. For the sake of his reputation as the boss of Danfeng, did he need to kill the person to silence him?
In the end, no murder was carried out to silence the witness.
Kieran returned to the research building and refined a few more bottles of this medicine.
This kind of poison made from tonics and elixirs cannot be seen from the surface. It is simply the immortal version of the "colorless, tasteless, and fatal" poison!
…Qin Ran treasured the pill and named it “Death Pill”.
