Chapter 24: Alchemy

The two herbs that were still energetic and exuding spiritual energy instantly lost their luster and dimmed, as if they had lost all their strength, slowly landed towards the bottom of the Burning Soul-Fired Furnace until they were shrouded in white smoke and could no longer be seen.

"The second step has been completed, the previous process is perfect, and the essence on the main material has been completely extracted." Lin Yongtai said seriously.

The purple-blue light flashing in Lin Chongtian's right hand is now invisible at all, replaced by a gradually bright purple-red light. The purple-red light in his right hand gradually becomes brighter and brighter, and in the blink of an eye, it exceeds the brightness of the purple-red light in his left hand. The purple-red light in his left hand seems to be unwilling to be surpassed, no longer stable at the same brightness, and has begun the process of gradually becoming brighter. The two lights are like two children racing, and neither is willing to show weakness or admit defeat.

"The third step: the second heating, the main purpose is two. On the one hand, it is to condense and gather the essence on the main material to remove impurities; on the other hand, it is to speed up the melting and fusion speed of the remaining secondary materials." Lin Yongtai said in admiration, "It's not a purple-level priest, the heating is so fast. The second heating is completed in less than 20 seconds."

Just as Lin Yongtai was speaking, the purple-red light on Lin Chongtian's hands had stabilized. The two lights seemed to be rushing through the children at the end at the same time. The brightness was stable at the same point, and no one was better than anyone else.

"The red-level medicine pill does not have high requirements for fire essence. An alchemist at the Yuan disciple level is often more competent. But first of all, his control over fire essence is not as meticulous as the clan leader and he can do whatever he wants; secondly, it may take dozens of times, or even hundreds of times that of the clan leader. Don't look at your clan leader's grandfather who looks very serious now, in fact, he hasn't even taken out 10% of his strength, so it's very relaxed." Lin Yongtai said with a smile.

Lin Nantian looked carefully into the Burning Soul Furnace. The white mist that was originally only at the bottom of the furnace had climbed to the center of the furnace; and the color that was not too thick had now turned into a thick white-blue color; the only thing that was the white-blue smoke was still so restless, still running at high speed in the Burning Soul Furnace, as if there was endless energy. When you came closer and smelled it, you could vaguely smell a faint fragrance of medicine.

"Look at the movements of the grandfather of the clan leader, son, is about to start the most critical step in the whole alchemy - the fourth step. During the entire alchemy process, this step is the most time-consuming and energy-consuming, and it is decided that there is no mistake. Pharmacists must not be able to distract themselves. One son is wrong, and the whole plate is full of faults. It can be said that half of the alchemy is in this step." After Lin Yongtai said, staring at the Burning Soul Burning Furnace intently.

Lin Chongtian breathed slowly, and his left hand was still steadily attached to the outer wall of the incinerator furnace and continuously output fire element power to control the temperature in the furnace. His right hand was like a thousand-handed Guanyin and kept putting various herbs into the incinerator furnace. Sometimes he put one raw material, and sometimes two or three raw materials were placed at the same time. Every time he put the raw material in, the purple-red light on Lin Chongtian's left hand would always change, either brighter or darker; his right hand was like a magic hand, flashing purple-green light for a while, and then flashing lilac light for a while, changing in different colors, so busy!

"The order of various raw materials, and when can they be placed, and how? The prescription will be explained in detail. This must not be mistaken. Even if the herbs are 1 second later, the entire furnace of medicine pills will be scrapped! High Yuanli attributes can only mean that you have a fast refining speed and high refining efficiency, but it does not mean that you will not make mistakes. In this regard, the alchemists are exactly the same. So even a red-level alchemist, the red-level medicine pills he refines may not be worse than the red-level medicine pills refined by the yellow-level medicine pills. The most important difference in the level is reflected in the medicine pills that can be refined." Lin Yongtai said to Lin Nantian earnestly.

Lin Nantian nodded seriously, indicating that he remembered it.

"The wood-based raw materials need to be extracted with wood-based elementary power. The extraction speed is determined by the proportion of wood-based elementary power of one's own body. Of course, if the wood-based elementary power accounts for less than 20% of the body, then it is impossible to extract any wood-based raw materials." Lin Yongtai continued to guide Lin Nantian's basic knowledge of refining.

"What is the raw material with wood properties?"

"You idiot, all the raw materials that grow on the earth are wood-based!" Lin Yongtai cursed.

"Shh! Sigh quietly, don't disturb the grandfather of the clan leader." Lin Nantian put his index finger to his mouth, "What is the lilac light on the right hand of the clan leader now?"

Lin Yongtai covered his mouth and said softly: "That is the water-attribute Yuanli! There are two functions. One is used as the raw material for extracting water-attributes." Lin Yongtai paused, as if he was afraid that his son would ask this stupid question again and replied: "It is the herbs growing in the water, such as jade coral, water horse grass, shark blood flowers, etc.."

"The second function is to cool down. Look, son, the herbs next to the clan leader's grandfather are almost completed. The fourth step of the key is almost completed. Looking at the clan leader's expression, he should not have made any mistakes."

Lin Yongtai seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "After all, this is just refining red-level medicine pills. Whether it is the quantity of raw materials or the extraction of raw materials, it is extremely simple for a yellow-level medicine pill. If you want to refine yellow-level medicine pills now, the amount of raw materials alone is several times that of red-level medicine pills, let alone the difficulty of extraction. Often, this stage will take 2 to 3 hours, not to have a few minutes of red-level medicine pills. If you accidentally neglect during these 2 to 3 hours, all your previous efforts will be wasted.

Lin Nantian watched Lin Chongtian put the last herb beside him into the Burning Soul Burning Furnace, and his right hand emitted a light purple light. The solemn expression on his face gradually soothed, and his movements became more and more skillful. In a moment, the last herb was extracted and the essence sank into the bottom of the furnace and disappeared in front of Lin Nantian. Lin Chongtian breathed a sigh of relief. At this point, the first four steps of alchemy were successfully completed.

Lin Nantian was standing next to the Burning Soul Burning Furnace. Although there was no wind in the house, a strong fragrance of medicine continued to pounce on his nose. It was a fragrance mixed with many different herbal smells. It was very special and comfortable, making people feel refreshed and happy.

In the Burning Soul Burning Furnace, the originally snow-white smoke has now turned into a bright light green. The smoke is getting denser, as if it is about to form blocks. It keeps wandering, spinning, and playing in the Burning Soul Burning Furnace, covering the entire Burning Soul Burning Furnace. But what is strange is that although the Burning Soul Burning Furnace does not cover the cover, the smoke seems to be spiritual but does not run out of the Burning Soul Burning Furnace range.

As if he knew what Lin Nantian was thinking, Lin Yongtai said, "These smokes are all the essence of grass and trees that have just been extracted, floating in the entire smoke. They are now within the control of the clan leader Yuanli. Unless the clan leader removes the clan power, the smoke will not dissipate."
