Oh yes!
Why didn’t I think of that?!
After being reminded by Qin Shoujiang, Qin Xuan slapped his head.
I only thought that mental power was needed during alchemy only when the pill was condensed, and I never thought of turning mental power into "monitoring" to check the details of alchemy anytime and anywhere.
It's such a simple application of mental power and I actually need my grandfather's reminder. My brain is really slow to come up with this idea!
After thanking Qin Shoujiang, Qin Xuan quickly began to refine the next batch of pills.
This time he didn't dare to slack off at all.
From the time the herbs are put into the pot to the temperature control, he always uses his mental power to observe carefully.
As a result, he actually discovered the possible reason for his failure in refining the elixir last time.
It turns out that due to the working principle of the electric pressure cooker, the heat is provided by the metal plate under the entire pot body, and then the heat is conducted by the pot inner body to complete the heating.
This causes the heat at the bottom of the pot to rise faster than other places.
Although the heat transfer of the pot itself is very fast, heat transfer is different from direct contact after all.
However, drugs are extremely sensitive to temperature requirements at high temperatures.
This is why the situation like before occurred where the herbs on the top haven't turned into liquid medicine yet, while the ones on the bottom have already become a mess.
Fortunately, Qin Xuan was in control of the whole process this time. If the temperature of the herbs in a certain place was not high enough, he would put them below.
If any herbs were overcooked, he would bring them up again.
Repeated and even heating.
Only then were all the dozens of medicinal herbs finally transformed into a rich medicinal liquid.
"It looks good. At least it has the potential to become a pill!"
Qin Xuan couldn't help but shout excitedly after using his mental power to divide the medicine into nine parts.
After the voice fell, he began to carefully dehydrate and dry the nine portions of medicinal liquid, and slowly "rubbed" them into pills.
Yes, the reason why the pills are so round is that the alchemist rubs them out bit by bit.
It’s just that cultivators have mental power, so they don’t need to do it directly.
The elixir is ready, and the furnace is opened...
Open the pot!
As Qin Xuan took the round pill out of the pressure cooker, a strong scent of the pill immediately filled the entire room.
When Qin Xuan smelled it, he was greatly encouraged. When Qin Shoujiang smelled it, he felt that his bottleneck of reaching the perfect grandmaster level was somewhat loosened!
It seems that this time, refining the elixir in the pressure cooker was successful.
However, they think it is useless, and it depends on what the recipe of Peiyuan Dan says.
So Qin Xuan placed the Peiyuan Pill he had refined in front of Dan Fang, and Dan Fang's voice also came over.
Peiyuan Pill Recipe: It works, but the medicinal effect is limited. If you take it now, it will still be 80% as effective as the genuine pill. If you leave it for a while, it will probably become useless.
"Will eating this affect the upper limit I can reach?"
Qin Xuan couldn't help but feel a little worried when he heard that the efficacy of Peiyuan Dan was discounted.
After all, the more Peiyuan Dan you take, the worse the effect will be.
If you take the inferior pills that you made yourself, it will affect the effect of taking regular pills in the future.
Then I might as well open another furnace and try to refine a pill with better effect.
Fortunately, the answer to the Peiyuan Dan recipe did not disappoint Qin Xuan.
Although the efficacy of the pills he refined was not perfect, they were still elixirs for nourishing the essence.
There is no erysipelas, and the upper limit will not have any impact.
It's just that if he wants to get the best effect from the inferior Peiyuan Pills he refined, he needs to accumulate a sufficient amount of them.
If the quantity is not enough, it may not reach the upper limit recorded in the world of immortal cultivation for Peiyuan Dan.
"If that's the case, then it shouldn't be a big problem!"
Qin Xuan took out the jade medicine bottle that contained the Soul-Nourishing Pill and directly put the nine inferior Yuan-Nourishing Pills into it.
Anyway, according to the recipe, I also need to use enough medicine to stack.
It would be better to make the last batch of Peiyuan Dan first and use it all at once.
This saves you from taking half of the medicine and finding it is not effective enough, and having to interrupt your practice to refine it again.
With previous experience, Qin Xuan was obviously familiar with the process this time.
And through the last refining process, he also gained some new insights into alchemy.
For example, instead of waiting until the temperature is completely stable before opening the lid and putting the herbs in, it is obviously more reasonable to use your own spiritual power to wrap the herbs and then release them when the temperature is right.
For example, the time and order in which the drugs are heated, which one comes first and which one comes later, which one needs instant heating and which one needs slow heating, etc.
So in just over ten minutes, he had completed the extraction of all the medicinal liquids.
Dehydration and pill condensation are done in one go.
When he opened the lid of the pot again, the fragrance of the elixir was obviously much less than before.
Pei Yuan Dan Recipe: The pill effect is 95%, basically reaching the level of a first-class alchemist. The pill can be stored for a long time, and in the world of cultivation, it is considered a qualified Pei Yuan Dan.
This is only the third time refining it, and the effect is already 95% of that of a regular pill?
It seems that I have a good talent for alchemy?
Hearing the evaluation of the Peiyuan Dan recipe, Qin Xuan couldn't help but brag a little.
After all, he had read novels where he learned that failure was the norm for alchemists and pharmacists.
And he only tried it once and successfully made the elixir.
No matter which world this person is in, he should be considered a genius, right?
After being a little narcissistic for a while, Qin Xuan could finally start his own training plan.
After saying something to Qin Shoujiang, he directly took the inferior pill and started practicing.
The recipe for Peiyuan Pills says that inferior pills cannot be kept for too long.
Therefore, he should first try to use inferior pills to improve it. If the effect is not enough, he will use the better Peiyuan Pill.
After taking the first inferior Peiyuan Pill, Qin Xuan felt a powerful spiritual power instantly spreading from his abdomen and spreading throughout his body.
Although it was a low-quality pill, the effect it showed was still stronger than he had imagined.
Without having time to be happy, Qin Xuan immediately concentrated on guiding the spiritual power from every corner of the body to the meridians, and then circulated it through the meridians according to the exercises, turning it into his own use.
The majestic spiritual power was like a turbulent stream, constantly impacting Qin Xuan's meridians that had just been opened.
And every time this stream of spiritual power flows through an inch of the meridian, the meridian itself will become stronger.
After an unknown amount of time, the spiritual power of the first Peiyuan Pill had been completely refined by Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan didn't hesitate at all. He raised his hand and put the second pill into his mouth.
As Chen Xuan said, the effect provided by the second one is not as good as the first one.
But after all, Qin Xuan's pills were of relatively inferior quality, and the medicinal power that his body could absorb was far from reaching its limit.
So after taking the second pill, his cultivation continued to grow at an extremely fast rate.
In just a few moments, he broke through the bottleneck of the fifth level of Qi Refining and reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.
The jade bottle opened.
The third pill, continue.
