I recalled some of the essentials of the fire control method Xuanhuo Technique over and over again in my mind, and worked hard to control the fire spirit, trying to lower its terrifying high temperature.
Otherwise, the snake plant is just a slightly higher-grade herb than ordinary herbs. If it is burned directly like this, it will turn into ashes in an instant, let alone extracting the essence from the snake plant rhizome.
As soon as the snake grass entered the medicine cauldron, Ye Cheng's heart suddenly tightened. He quickly controlled the flames and was about to wrap it up, but he still couldn't control the heat. The flames transformed by the fire spirit were like jackals.
Sweeping up, it directly burned the snakehead and the stem into a ball of pitch-black ashes, which was discharged from the special port at the lower end of the medicine cauldron.
"It's too difficult to control."
Looking at the dark ash under the medicinal cauldron, Ye Cheng couldn't help but frown.
He had obviously controlled the temperature of the fire spirit just now, but he was not able to accurately grasp the specific temperature of the fire. In the end, mistakes were inevitable.
"Spiritual consciousness controls the temperature of the flame. This is a necessary course in refining medicine. You are the only one who lacks this experience now. Don't be discouraged and continue." Elder Mu's encouraging voice came slowly.
"kindness!"
Ye Cheng naturally also understands that everything is difficult at the beginning. Now he is considered a very lucky person. He has a top pharmacist who has left all the profound pharmacology in his mind and turned it into a part of his memory.
, are already ahead of countless people on the path of refining medicine.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Cheng concentrated his mind again, probed his spiritual sense into the medicine cauldron, and directly lowered the temperature of the flame transformed by the fire spirit to the level of an ordinary flame.
"This shouldn't burn out the snake plant all at once, right?" Ye Cheng thought to himself, without stopping, he grabbed another snake plant and threw it into the potion.
In the middle of the tripod.
His spiritual consciousness was paying close attention to the snake wrapped in flames in the medicine cauldron. Seeing that it was not directly burned to ashes like the first time, Ye Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Okay, that's it for now, slowly increase the temperature, slowly increase it." Ye Cheng controlled the flame and increased the temperature bit by bit. This method was indeed effective. After a while, the rhizome of the snake plant also
It gradually turned into a green liquid, but it was not as bright as the formula described, but a little dull.
"It seems that slowly heating up like this has both advantages and disadvantages. Some of the essence of the snakewort has been lost." Ye Cheng observed every change in the medicine cauldron, compared with the introduction of the formula, and soon discovered this method.
shortcomings.
However, Ye Cheng did not stop this practice. He had his own plan in mind. He was not trying out medicines now. As long as he was familiar with the heat resistance of various medicines, this problem would be solved soon.
Moreover, every alchemist cannot produce a finished product only after consuming countless medicinal materials. No matter how talented a person is, it is impossible for him to achieve it overnight.
After waiting for half a quarter of an hour, the essence of the ophelica rhizome was completely extracted. Although Ye Cheng lost a lot of essence due to his lack of experience, he still successfully extracted the medicinal material.
"This kid is quite clever. He even thought of using such a method. Although it consumes some medicinal power, it is still a good way for beginners to make medicine." Mr. Mu leaned on the rock, seemingly indifferent to the former's refining of medicine.
, but his spiritual consciousness was constantly watching Ye Cheng's process of refining the medicine. Seeing Ye Cheng using such a crude method, a smile appeared on his old face.
The spiritual consciousness controlled the flame and moved the extracted green liquid to a place in the medicine cauldron. Ye Cheng immediately threw Huang Lian into the medicine cauldron and extracted the medicinal liquid again.
Ye Cheng once again applied the old method and became familiar with the heat resistance of Huang Lian. Not long after Huang Lian entered the cauldron, it began to dissolve, the skin peeled off, and the essence of the lotus was burned into medicinal liquid again.
Ye Cheng used this method to extract the essence of the remaining medicinal materials and left them in the medicine cauldron. Although a lot of medicinal power was consumed, in the end, the medicinal power was extracted
, Ye Cheng could barely be considered a success.
"Here comes the highlight. The easiest thing about this potion is to extract the potency of the medicine. The most difficult thing is the fusion and preparation of the potency." Ye Cheng used his spiritual sense to feel the various medicinal essences that were divided into different parts of the cauldron.
He couldn't help but feel a little solemn in his heart. Although he had barely passed the stage of extracting the potion, the most difficult stage of the potion was also in this step. He did not expect to be able to smoothly integrate the essence of various potions at once and refine it.
Potion.
Although Zhixue Powder is only a first-grade medicine, no first-grade pharmacist dares to guarantee that his success rate can reach more than 50%. After all, their experience is still immature, and it is difficult to successfully integrate the potency of the medicine with a high probability. Even the second-grade pharmacists can't guarantee it.
Pharmacists can fail if they are not careful.
With his eyes closed tightly, his spiritual consciousness has been controlling the fire spirit like this, and he has begun to feel weak. Fortunately, Ye Cheng has the ancient soul jade to nourish his spiritual consciousness, and from time to time, a strange energy is introduced to help Ye Cheng recover.
As Ye Cheng's strength continues to increase, his spiritual consciousness will also continue to become stronger, and the time for refining potions can be greatly extended in the future, so that he will no longer feel the slightest pain when burned by the fire spirit.
Therefore, the current phenomenon of insufficient stamina is ultimately due to the fact that Ye Cheng's realm is not enough and his spiritual consciousness is not strong enough. And this state of restoring spiritual consciousness cannot last for too long. Ye Cheng understands that once time passes, the potency of the medicine in the medicine cauldron will not be enough.
Even the special device of the medicinal cauldron is not enough to delay the evaporation of the medicinal power.
"Melt!"
Ye Cheng used his strength again, and all his spiritual consciousness was absorbed into the medicine cauldron. He controlled the fire spirit to fuse the essence of the medicinal power that was originally scattered little by little. Relying on the unique temperature of the fire spirit, the medicinal power of various medicinal properties was diluted.
Fusion.
Only with such actions did Ye Cheng truly feel the difficulty of refining the medicine. The power of various medicines merged together, like several mad cows running rampant, constantly tumbling in the flames.
"Boom!" "Oops, the temperature is too high!" Suddenly, Ye Cheng's expression changed. The conflict of the medicine's power was beyond his expectation, and it collapsed and spread directly in the medicine cauldron. The medicine cauldron shook a few times.
.
Seeing that after working hard for a long time, Ye Cheng still failed to refine the potion, a bitter smile appeared on Ye Cheng's lips.
No wonder there are so few people who can achieve success on the path of potion. This is just a first-grade potion, so it is so difficult to practice, let alone the second-grade and third-grade potions that follow.
However, the more difficult the thing, the unyielding energy in his bones surged up again. Ye Cheng was not worried about failure. If it didn't work once, then he would do it ten times or a hundred times. He didn't believe that he couldn't refine the potion.
The sky had already darkened, and when Ye Cheng was about to continue refining, Mr. Mu could only say helplessly when he saw the sky: "It's already getting late, go back first, and we'll continue tomorrow!"
Hearing this, Ye Cheng had no choice but to stop his movements, put away the medicine cauldron, and hurried back to Ye's house.
