Chapter 16 Refining Medicine
It seems that the accumulation of fighting spirit is quite strong. Not only did it directly reach the first star of Dou Zhe last time, but it also took a big step on the road to the second star. Talent.
It will take more than half a month to reach Douzhe 2 Star. Now that I have achieved a breakthrough, let’s go to the medicine training hall and start refining medicine today.
After walking into the medicine training hall, Lin Ming went straight to the fifth floor. When he arrived outside Master Toso's room, Lin Ming knocked on the door and said: "Master Toso, boy Lin Ming, are here to report."
"Boy Lin Ming, come in quickly." Master Toso said. Lin Ming walked into the room, and Master Toso said eagerly: "You're finally here. If you don't come in these two days, I'm going to invite you."
"
Lin Ming had no choice but to reply quickly: "When the boy was preparing to come after practicing the exercises, he felt that his fighting spirit was about to break through at any time, so he delayed for two more days and came back after he had broken through."
"You've made another breakthrough in your cultivation. It's only been a month since you broke through to become a fighter, and now you're a two-star fighter? Sure enough, the world of geniuses is different from that of ordinary people." Master Toso said with a sigh. Then he added:
"It's better if you break through. You can have more fighting spirit to refine medicine. Come on, follow me to the alchemy room. I'll teach you how to make alchemy." After saying that, he pulled Lin Ming and walked quickly towards the alchemy room.
Lin Ming looked at this person who was more eager than himself and felt a little speechless. I guess this was the eagerness of the alchemist when he saw a good inheritor.
Arriving at the alchemy room, Master Tuosuo flashed his ring and took out a bronze medicine cauldron. Master Tuosuo said: "Lin Ming, you have been studying pharmacology in the medicine training hall and watching others make alchemy for three years.
I won’t tell you the basic knowledge anymore. You have just started practicing now, and you are almost ready to use these two mouthfuls. If you use more, it will not be so easy to control."
Lin Ming knew that Master Toso was not talking nonsense. He had also read books for several years and knew that a beginner's cauldron with two mouths would be almost at its limit. No matter how many mouths there were, it would not be so easy to control. So Lin Ming replied: "Yes.
, Master Toso, these two cauldrons are very good."
"Well, let's get started. Do you know what the first step is?" Master Toso asked Lin Ming.
"I know, after the alchemist gets a new medicine cauldron, he first needs to attribute the medicine cauldron, so that he can better control the heat in the subsequent medicine refining." Lin Ming replied.
"Well, that's right. You haven't learned in vain all these years. Then let's start! I'll show you." Master Toso said.
Lin Ming walked up to the medicine cauldron and pressed his right hand on one of the flames of the medicine cauldron. He then circulated the dual attribute fighting energy of fire and wood, gathered it towards his right hand, and then poured it into the medicine cauldron towards the fire port.
"puff..."
There was a muffled sound, and a flame rose up in the medicine cauldron, rolling continuously.
"That's right. That's right. I have learned so much all these years in vain. Not only can I summon a substantial flame in one go, but it can also be used to refine elixirs." Master Toso said with praise.
Not all flames can be used to refine elixirs. The flames that can be used to refine elixirs are mild flames that must use the wood attribute to neutralize the violent burning factors in the flame. In addition to using the wood attribute to sense the Chinese medicinal materials in the medicine cauldron
In addition to vitality, to ensure that the medicinal materials can be refined into the raw materials you want. Neutralizing the violent factor in the fire attribute is also one of the reasons why the alchemist must have dual attributes of fire and wood.
"Just practice this elixir. The medicinal materials are over there. After reading the elixir, go get it yourself. See how well you understand the medicinal herbs." Master Toso took out a roll of elixir from Najie and handed it to Lin Ming.
.
Lin Ming took the prescription and opened it to take a look.
"Power Storage Pill". A first-class elixir that can increase a person's strength by about one level. The medicinal materials required are: one Luo Han Guo, one Vitality Fruit, two Jin Ming Cao......
"
After reading and remembering the medicinal materials, Lin Ming went to the nearby medicinal area to look for medicinal materials. After searching for about half an hour, Lin Ming took the medicinal materials that could be used to refine ten power-accumulating pills and came back.
"After taking it, let's start refining it." Master Toso said when he saw me coming back.
Lin Ming came to the medicine cauldron again. This time he put his left hand on the fire mouth and started to use the fire and wood dual attribute fighting spirit. The flames rose again in the medicine cauldron. Let the flames burn in the medicine cauldron first, and heat the medicine cauldron first.
In order to achieve the best performance. Feeling that it was almost done, Lin Ming took out Luo Han Guo. Looking at the fist-sized fruit, which was wrapped in many scale-like skins. Lin Ming recalled the introduction on the elixir recipe and felt that the current flames were similar to
When the description was almost complete, he threw the Luo Han Guo from the mouth of the entangled snake on the top of the medicine cauldron.
As soon as the Luo Han Guo entered the medicine cauldron, Lin Ming used his mental power to control the flame to refine the Luo Han Guo. After a while, there was a "bang" sound, and the Luo Han Guo exploded. Lin Ming knew that the refining of the Luo Han Guo had failed.
"The temperature of the flame is high at the back. The mangosteen in the front is protected by a solid shell, so your temperature is fine. But when the shell is almost melted, the temperature of the flame will be lowered. You need to use your mental power to override the wood attribute Dou Qi and sense the medicinal materials at any time.
to react." Master Toso was explaining to Lin Ming the reason for his failure just now.
After listening to Master Toso's explanation, Lin Ming started to rekindle the fire again.
"Bah". This time there was another sound coming from some medicinal cauldrons at the back. Lin Ming had another problem at the back of the refining process.
"This time it's..." Master Toso explained the problem again.
Lin Ming lit a fire again and started a new refining process. This time he finally extracted the essence of Luo Han Guo, then took out the jade bottle and put the extracted essence into it. As for the remaining waste of Luo Han Guo, it was burned into black powder by the flames.
, passed the ban in the medicine cauldron, and gathered in the waste pavilion under the medicine cauldron. After refining the Luo Han Guo essence, Lin Ming realized how important it is to have a senior to teach him. If he had just tried to figure it out on his own, he would never have thought of Luo Han Guo all day long.
Refining is complete.
"Yes, the third time, the Luo Han Guo essence has been refined to the point where it meets the requirements for alchemy. However, if you increase the flame temperature just a little bit when converting the flame temperature, the Luo Han Guo essence will be more pure. The elixir refined thereby
The effect of the medicine is better. If each medicinal material is refined to almost perfection, the elixir produced will have less erysipelas. And the elixir pattern is the embodiment of this almost perfect elixir. It takes a long time to practice, and it will be effective for all medicines.
The characteristics of the refined medicinal materials must be well understood. The same herbal medicine will have differences in different years and growing places... These differences need to be controlled by the pharmacist himself when refining the medicine.
It takes a lot of refining to accumulate experience." Master Toso told Lin Ming about the shortcomings of refining the medicine just now and what he should pay attention to when refining the medicinal materials.
Lin Ming listened carefully to Master Toso's explanation, and seriously reflected on his shortcomings in the refining just now.
After a cup of tea, Lin Ming took out another Luo Han Guo and started a new round of refining. Master Tuosuo saw that Lin Ming thought for a while before starting to refining. He nodded with satisfaction. He thought about me at that time.
When refining this power-accumulating elixir, people who had already refined other elixirs had failed four times before extracting the essence of Luo Han Guo. It was not as pure as Lin Ming's now. But Lin Ming had only been exposed to it three times.
The refining is complete. This talent is really terrifying! The key is not to be arrogant or impetuous, and to know how to reflect after the refining is completed. Fortunately, such a person is a member of my family.
In this way, all the medicinal materials were refined through Lin Ming's refining and Master Toso's explanation. The purity of each medicinal material after several refinements amazed Master Toso. He called him
Refining it yourself is not much better.
After the essence of the medicinal materials had been extracted, Lin Ming adjusted his breathing for half an hour.
After Master Tuosuo saw that Lin Ming had completed his breath adjustment, he began to explain: "The next step is to fuse these extracted essences so that their different medicinal effects can be perfectly blended together and then compressed into elixirs. This is the most critical point.
Yes, after all, if there is only one mistake, all the essences will be broken. And the fusion of each essence requires different temperatures, pressures and the order of essence fusion. This is a big problem for every alchemist.
The test requires mental power to control the flame and the timing just right. Therefore, people with stronger mental power will have an easier time refining it."
After Master Toso explained to Lin Ming, he also gave Lin Ming a demonstration in person. Lin Ming carefully observed Master Toso's operations, feeling the order of fusion of essences, the timing of fusion, the temperature during fusion, etc.
Waiting for the operation. Looking at the complete elixir, Lin Ming recalled Master Toso's operation just now, and then started his own refining.
The mangosteen essence was controlled by mental power and put into the medicine cauldron, wrapped in flames, and then the vitality fruit essence was also controlled to enter. The two essences were wrapped with flames of different temperatures. After warming for a while, the two essences were brought close to each other.
, then after mixing the two essences, the firepower was increased, and at the same time, mental power also exerted pressure. After a while, Lin Ming also put in the essence of Jin Mingcao...
"Boom". There was a roar inside the medicinal cauldron. Lin Ming improperly controlled the placement of medicinal materials and applied them on the cauldron, causing the cauldron to explode.
After tidying up, we started the next fusion.
"Hereby". The essence of the medicinal liquid was burned. Failure!
"Boom". Explode the tripod. Failure!
............
Start a new fusion. Put in the Luo Han Guo essence and the Vitality Fruit essence. The fusion is successful! Put in the Golden Grass and the fusion is successful... Until the last essence is put in and the fusion is successful!
"Huh", Lin Ming breathed a sigh of relief. After failing so many times, he finally almost succeeded.
"Don't be distracted. Reduce the firepower and increase the pressure. The elixir is almost ready." Master Toso's words rang out at this time.
Lin Ming did not dare to be distracted anymore and operated according to Master Toso's words.
"No matter how small the firepower is." Master Toso's words came to mind again.
Lin Ming reduced his firepower again.
After a while, Master Toso's words came again: "It's almost done. Lin Ming, you have to sense the condition of the elixir at all times. At the moment when all the medicinal properties are fully integrated, increase the mental pressure by one-third and increase the flame temperature.
To the extent of refining Luo Han Guo, it can form an elixir."
Lin Ming's mental power surged in, ready to do what Master Toso said after the medicinal properties were fully integrated. After a moment, Lin Ming felt that the time had come. The flames were raised at once, and his mental power was also increased by one-third.
The medicinal essence in the cauldron was compressed into the size of a thumb under Lin Ming's operation.
Master Toso looked at it and nodded, saying: "Although it's a little early, it's almost done. Just warm it up a little more to make it more mellow."
Seeing that the elixir in the medicine cauldron had become rounded, Lin Ming stopped transmitting fighting energy. With a flash of mental energy, a round and plump elixir appeared in his hand. Looking at the elixir in his hand, Lin Ming laughed.
"Lin Ming, congratulations. You have officially refined your first elixir. This indicates that you are already a true alchemist." Master Toso congratulated Lin Ming.
"Thank you Master Tuosuo for knowing. Without your knowledge, Lin Ming would not know when it would take to refine the elixir. Please accept Lin Ming's courtesy." After Lin Ming finished speaking, he bowed ninety degrees to Master Tuosuo.
"Okay, I accept this gift. There are still two materials left, you can refine them too," Master Toso said after receiving Lin Ming's salute.
"Okay, Lin Ming will refine it after adjusting his breath." After Lin Ming finished speaking, he started to adjust his breath.
"Boom", refining failed.
"Collect the elixir". Success!
Chapter completed!
