"Woof woof!!"

Just as Fan Ming was preparing the ingredients for alchemy, a dog barked suddenly outside the door.

Fan Ming listened with confusion on his face. His "animal language" ability was still there, but he didn't understand the meaning of this cry.

So Shanming curiously opened the door. Before he could see clearly what was going on outside, a white figure ran in from his feet.

"Snow mountain?" Fan Ming said in surprise.

According to Xiao Li, Xueshan suddenly became a little restless yesterday after he left home for a while. She didn't pay much attention to it at first. She calmed her down a little and went to do other things. But then when she wanted to find Xueshan again

, you can’t find it anywhere in your home.

Before it got dark yesterday, Fan Ming also searched around the village and its vicinity, but found no trace of the snow-capped mountains. He thought they were wild and untamable and had returned to nature, which made him feel a little sad.

Unexpectedly, it came back on its own now.

Fan Ming suddenly felt a sense of surprise that he had found it. He turned around, grabbed it, and rubbed its head hard.

"Where have you been? How come you have learned a foreign language?"

However, just when he grabbed the snow mountain, something behind him suddenly hit his calf.

Fan Ming turned around and found that there was a little tiger behind him!

But what’s different from the snow-capped mountains is that this is a little tiger with normal fur.

I saw the little tiger staring closely at Fan Ming, and making a warning sound of "woo woo woo" in his mouth.

Of course, let alone such a small tiger, Fan Ming would not be too scared even if its parents came.

Fan Ming ignored the threat and grabbed the little tiger with his free hand.

As soon as the two little tigers approached, Xueshan stretched out his tongue and licked the little head next to him.

The little tiger, which was still struggling and resisting, soon calmed down.

Seeing this scene, Fan Ming understood instantly. He took a closer look and found that the other little tiger was indeed a female!

"I'm sorry you ran away from home to pick up girls?"

Putting the two tigers down, Fan Ming used his animal language ability to understand what happened with great difficulty.

It turns out that this little tigress got separated from her mother because of the commotion that happened in Beishan yesterday.

Xueshan felt a dangerous aura (probably the Black River Jiao), so he ran away from home to find his master.

In the end, he didn’t find anyone, but he found a “little girlfriend” for himself.

Fan Ming was dumbfounded. This was the first time he knew that this little guy who ate and slept cared so much about him.

His mentality had undergone some subtle changes. Originally, he was hesitating whether to keep the snow mountain with him or wait until it grew up to find an uninhabited remote mountain forest and let it go. But now it seemed that this was no longer necessary.

Fan Ming patted Xueshan's head, "If I become an immortal in the future, then you will be an immortal tiger!"

As for Xueshan's "little girlfriend", Fan Ming has no intention of driving her away, he can only say let nature take its course...

◇◇◇

After a small episode.

Fan Ming returned to preparations for alchemy.

This Bigu Pill is clearly stated in the recipe as a first-grade elixir. As for the highest grade of the elixir, it is not stated. In addition, the recipe states that as long as a special pattern naturally appears on the surface of the elixir when it is released.

, it means that it has been refined, otherwise it means that it has failed. The elixir that fails to be refined will produce erysipelas, which is harmful and useless when eaten.

This line is also called red pattern.

Moreover, the number of elixir patterns will be affected by factors such as the skill of the alchemist, the quality of the medicinal materials, the flame used in the alchemy, the level of the alchemy furnace, and even the concentration of spiritual energy around the alchemy, and there may be more than one.

But this situation is not due to a refining failure. On the contrary, this situation occurs because the refining is too good.

The number of pill patterns is a symbol of the quality of the pill. The more pill patterns there are, the better the quality of the pill. For each additional pill pattern, the efficacy of the pill will be increased by 10 to 20%, and a maximum of six can occur.

No matter what grade of elixir it is, it is extremely rare for six elixir patterns to appear.

And Fan Ming doesn't dare to expect too much. If a pill pattern appears, it will be considered a great success!

After mixing the medicinal materials according to the amounts on the recipe, Fan Ming cut the long medicinal materials into short pieces, then put all the medicinal materials into a medicine bowl and ground them into powder, then added water and kneaded them into something like dough.

Finally, cut out "dumplings" of similar size and put them into a ball rolling board to form a round shape.

At this point it can only be regarded as a semi-finished product, and it still needs the most critical and difficult step - putting it into the alchemy furnace for refining.

Anyone with a normal mind and sound hands will generally not make mistakes in the previous steps.

Whether you can accurately control the temperature of the alchemy furnace and grasp the opening time are the standards for testing the level of an alchemist.

However, this most critical step is only briefly mentioned in the recipe.

Fan Ming was still a little confused at first, but he soon figured it out. Because the conditions and situations faced by every alchemist are not uniform, the alchemist naturally cannot give a standard answer.<

/p>

The alchemist can only rely on himself to explore and adapt to changes.

Fan Ming didn't have much confidence in his heart, and he didn't expect to succeed in refining it for the first time.

But when he actually started to operate, he found that he felt inexplicably comfortable, as if he had repeated these operations thousands of times.

Suddenly, his eyes froze, and there seemed to be a voice in his mind reminding him.

"Open the furnace!"

Fan Ming chose to follow his intuition and quickly reached out to open the alchemy furnace!

Although it didn't emit a strange light like the Chinese Little Master, the moment the alchemy furnace was turned on, the whole kitchen was filled with a clear medicinal fragrance.

Smelling the smell, Fan Ming felt that his hunger had eased a bit.

I...did I successfully refine it?

Fan Ming tilted the alchemy furnace uneasily and poured it into a bowl.

As the first "Bigu Pill" rolled out, his hands were shaking with excitement.

He saw the Dan pattern!

And what’s even more outrageous is that it’s not one, but two!

Who would dare to believe this?

A complete alchemy novice, relying on very simple conditions, not only succeeded in making alchemy for the first time, but also refined the second pattern elixir!

Fan Ming couldn't help but think: "Is it possible that I am a genius?"

But he soon denied this, because the comfortable feeling just now reminded him of an "old friend"...

Fan Ming poured out all the dozen or so "Bigu Pills" left in the alchemy furnace.
Chapter completed!
