Chapter 117: Candle Illuminating the Netherworld
"Deer blood, antlers, deer whip, mica, red stone..."
Gao Xian put various processed medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace one by one, and started baking them.
The spoutless kettle-shaped three-legged alchemy furnace can be divided into eight different areas through internal roulette wheels and manual partitions.
Some are used for baking, some are used for steaming, and some are used to extract and temper medicinal properties.
Below the alchemy furnace is a brick pedestal with a flue connected to the outside chimney.
Refining alchemy requires the use of a large amount of charcoal. Using this simple pedestal and the rotating alchemy furnace, the temperature can be controlled.
The yin-yang, water, and fire magic circle is engraved on the alchemy furnace. If necessary, the magic circle can also be activated with spirit stones.
The cost of using the magic circle is too high, and the demand for alchemists is also high.
The original owner used to be at the first level of Qi training, and it was very difficult to control the alchemy furnace array. He almost always used charcoal to make alchemy.
Anyway, the refining methods are all low-level elixirs, and charcoal fire is enough.
Gao Xian raised Lujiaosan to the master level and completely mastered various basic alchemy tips.
He also obtained all the memories of the owner's alchemy, and the two-phase confirmation transformed Gao Xian from a novice to an alchemy expert.
Taking out Fengyue Baojian, sure enough, the gray alchemy technique has returned to normal, and the proficiency in alchemy has been greatly improved, and it is about to reach the proficiency level.
In order to verify what he had learned, Gao Xian decided to try his hand with Lujiaosan.
This elixir is very simple and uses commonly used medicinal materials, which he can find in his own medicinal material library.
Select the medicinal materials and start a fire.
At this point, Gao Xian understood what slow fire and martial fire were, how to control the heat, how to extract medicinal properties, etc.
These details and know-how can never be learned by reading books. Only by practicing refining can one grasp the appropriateness of the heat.
Alchemy is a technical activity with thousands of links. If any link is wrong, the efficacy of the medicine will be greatly reduced, or even the alchemy will fail.
Gao Xian is at the level of a master in Lujiao San. Even though the world is big, there are few people who are better than him in terms of Lujiao San.
After half a day's work, the antlers were released from the furnace, and the aroma of the medicine filled the room.
As you can tell from the name of Lujiaosan, what is refined is a pile of medicinal powder, weighing more than two kilograms.
Looking at this pile of toner-like things, Gao Xian was very excited and felt filled with a sense of accomplishment.
It is equivalent to a chef completing a specialty dish. In fact, making alchemy is almost the same as cooking. It involves combining various ingredients, steaming, and roasting.
It’s just that alchemy is more particular and complicated.
A more high-end expression is to make energy more orderly through the re-proportion and combination of materials, which is a process of entropy reduction.
This successful alchemy greatly increased Gao Xian's confidence. It also solved the biggest problem at the moment!
After being excited for a while, Gao Xian remembered that the matter was not over yet.
He took the cinnabar and kneaded the powder into pills the size of peanuts.
The cinnabar wrapped in the outer layer can seal the medicinal properties and aroma, making it easier to preserve and convenient to eat.
Rolling pills is a very simple action, and the super fast hand speed of the electro-photovoltaic dragon hand can be fully utilized.
After a while, Gao Xian rolled out more than 200 pills.
The deer horn powder refined at the master level must have extraordinary effects.
Gao Xian didn't have an accurate estimate of this. He had never made Lujiao Powder before, let alone eaten it. He was not sure how good the Lujiao Powder he had made was.
In order to test the efficacy of the medicine, Gao Xian took one pill himself.
A stream of hot air rises from the Dantian, quickly dissolves into the limbs and bones, and finally reaches the Tianling Cap.
This heat is strong but not fierce, yang but not dry.
It makes people feel energetic to the point of overflowing, but the mind is very clear and does not become manic due to the powerful medicinal properties.
"Grandmaster-level elixirs are really powerful!" Gao Xian was quite satisfied with this.
Magical weapons, talismans, and spells are generally divided into nine levels and thirty-six grades. Pills are also divided into nine levels, but they are not divided into grades, but are divided from one to nine levels.
The same elixir can only barely exert its effect in one turn, but the nine-turn return elixir can maximize its effectiveness.
Lujiaosan is an unqualified aphrodisiac, and there is no way to restore the elixir and refine it again.
However, the master-level Lujiao Powder is enough to maximize the efficacy of the medicine and remove all the erysipelas in the medicine.
In order to test the efficacy of the medicine, Gao Xian reluctantly went to see Sister Lan.
Over and over again, the spirit never fails.
The wind and moon are boundless, and the joy in this is indescribable.
Although Da Ou Shen's method is good, it must be measured in a right manner. Excessive use will harm the body, hurt the mind, and weaken both the essence and energy. It will lead to self-destruction.
Of course Gao Xian understands this.
But after taking Lujiao Powder, the essence becomes strong, so it can be healed again and again.
After his consciousness withdrew from Fengyue Baojian, Gao Xian looked at Da Ou Divine Method again, and sure enough, he had gained three points of cultivation.
"With this magical medicine, you can crush the little blue pill at will. If you can travel back in time, you can immediately become the savior of middle-aged and elderly men!"
Gao Xian lamented that it was a pity that he had learned dragon-slaying skills but had no dragons.
Fortunately, Lujiao Powder is very powerful, so it is good for him to take it by himself, and it can speed up the practice of Da Ou Shen Dharma.
No, there are just as many middle-aged and elderly people in this world. Even their practitioners, their physical abilities are limited by the laws of nature.
Just like Lao Wang next door, he is mentally exhausted and has insufficient kidney water. This is the best user!
Don't worry about making money, the most urgent thing is to refine a batch of elixirs.
Gao Xian took out the Feng Yue Bao Jian, and sure enough, his alchemy skills had improved, and he had reached the proficiency level all at once.
Alchemy is the most difficult skill to upgrade among all his skills. He was surprised to have so many upgrades at once.
Including the three types of elixirs refined by the original owner, they have also been upgraded to the proficiency level.
The Grandmaster level is only for one type of medicine: Lujiao Powder. However, many methods for refining elixirs are common.
After this practical operation, the original master's alchemy techniques have been integrated and mastered, and the alchemy technique has been greatly improved. Gao Xian's alchemy technique is not too far away from the expert level.
Level 1 proficiency in alchemy (27/4000)
Rejuvenation Pill Proficiency (155/200)
Guyuan Dan proficiency (161/200)
Bailudan proficiency(177/200)
Looking at the data on Fengyue Baojian, Gao Xian was quite satisfied.
In just a few days, there has been huge progress. According to this growth rate, well...
Gao Xian did a simple calculation and found that it was too exaggerated, so it was better not to take it seriously.
While he was in good condition, Gao Xian cooked some meat and ate until he was full.
The little black cat ran out of nowhere smelling the fragrance and ate a lot too.
After eating, the little black cat was obviously sleepy, lying there with his eyes closed and taking a nap.
Gao Xian stroked it twice, and the little black cat shook its tail and then stopped responding.
This made Gao Xian a little envious. He ate, slept, played, played and ate... The little kitten was living a very comfortable life.
Maybe you should feed it a few less meals to let it know how difficult life is and how unfortunate its fate is.
Taking advantage of the spiritual energy in his body, Gao Xian performed the Five Elements Kung Fu for thirty-six weeks, which took him half an hour.
Without accurate timing tools, Gao Xian feels that his Five Elements Gong is now running more smoothly.
Mainly thanks to Sister Lan’s assistance.
I took out the Feng Yue Bao Jian and saw that the Five Elements Skill had steadily increased, which was very satisfying.
After adjusting his condition, Gao Xian went to the pharmacy next door.
The small courtyard where he lives has three main rooms, one is a bedroom, half a living room, and half a kitchen. The remaining one is a warehouse for storing medicinal materials.
The alchemy room is a small side room next to the main room, and there is an alchemy furnace in the room.
The Alchemy Furnace is considered a first-level magic weapon and is actually quite valuable. It is very heavy and is fixed on a brick platform, so it is not easy to move it away.
In addition, there are not many alchemists in Pegasus who can use the alchemy furnace. Even if someone steals the alchemy furnace, it will be difficult to dispose of it.
On the contrary, the medicinal materials were light and easy to carry, so Gao Xian could only put them in the main room.
After checking the medicinal materials, Gao Xian wanted to sigh. The original owner really wanted to commit suicide and used up all the medicinal materials of Bailu Dan.
His alchemy skills have made great progress, but he can't make up for such a big gap!
We can only refine a batch of elixirs and send them there first, and wait for a while. Find a way to replenish the consumed medicinal materials...
The medicinal materials are selected, steamed, dried, crushed and mixed, then put into the furnace again for refining.
It took Gao Xian three days to complete the potion of Qi-Reviving Pill.
I rolled the pills manually and got more than 200 pills.
After three busy days, Gao Xian decided to go out and recuperate. He took two antlers and went next door to visit Lao Wang.
Lao Wang's house is even more shabby. There are only two main rooms in the small courtyard. The walls are cracked and the tiles are broken. If it rains heavily, there will definitely be leaks.
A few bluestone slabs were used to pave the way in and out of the yard. There was an uncovered toilet in one corner, which looked very transparent.
Although Gao Xian was not mysophobic, he did not dare to look at it more.
Lao Wang was lying on the bed and taking a nap. He yawned and said angrily: "What are you doing here?"
Gao Xian encouraged himself in his heart: "It's not a shame, right? It's not fake medicine..."
