() It was already dark at this time, and Fang Ping went back to rest for a night. Early on the next day, he arrived at the reagent room. As soon as he entered the reagent room, Fang Ping couldn't help but laugh. This so-called reagent room was just a simple experiment.
It's just a room. The most important thing in the reagent room is a batch of containers used for quantification. And the scales on these containers are distinguished by 10%, 20%, 30%, etc.
For Fang Ping, a former Ph.D. in molecular biology, the use of these quantitative instruments is just the most basic scientific operation. Moreover, with a little design, he can make the craftsmen make better products.
Accurate and practical tools come.
Fang Ping skillfully used the utensils to prepare a basic potion. His skillful techniques and precise operation put the senior apprentices he was guiding here to shame.
After Fang Ping prepared the medicine, they unanimously agreed and awarded Fang Ping the medal of the reagent room. Apprentices who passed their level can enter the alchemy room for trials. Those who pass the trial can receive the master's true biography and start
Official attack on alchemists.
Fang Ping walked out of the reagent room and arrived at the refining pharmacy. As soon as he entered the refining pharmacy, Fang Ping felt a rush of heat rushing towards his face. There are different methods of refining medicine, including freezing, washing, wind blowing, squeezing, etc.
And enough. But the most common and most used one is the fire method.
In the refining pharmacy, there are ten medicine furnaces lined up. These medicine furnaces are all of the same standard. There is an oil basin at the bottom, with three legs on it as a bracket to support the furnace body above the oil basin. The furnace body is round.
, about one foot high and about three inches in diameter.
The material of the medicine furnace seems to be made of metal such as bronze. Some runes and patterns are engraved on the furnace body, emitting subtle energy fluctuations. There are three oil basins under the medicine furnace that have been ignited.
Fire. This kind of fire is full of energy, does not produce any smoke, and has a light fragrance of oil. The three apprentices are staring at their respective fires nervously, ready to add the medicinal materials on hand to the furnace at any time.
An old apprentice walked out of a room at the back of the alchemy pharmacy. When he saw Fang Ping and checked his reagent room medal, he said, "You have mastered the processing of medicinal materials and the configuration of reagents. I will not
Say more. Let me first introduce you to the knowledge of medicine furnaces."
The apprentice brought Fang Ping to a medicine furnace and said, "The core part of the medicine furnace is the formations burned on the furnace body. A general medicine furnace will have two basic formations on it, one
One is the energy absorption array, and the other is the elixir forming array."
With that said, the apprentice pointed out the formation runes on the medicine furnace to Fang Ping, "Look, this is an energy absorption array. The trapezoidal pattern in the formation is used to mark the temperature of the medicine furnace.
. Different gradients represent different temperatures. This is the elixir forming array. This area is for you to choose the shape of the elixir. You see, there are three options: liquid, paste and solid. In the solid state
You can also choose shapes such as ellipses, circles, squares, etc.”
Fang Ping listened on the sidelines and was secretly amazed. This medicine furnace looked quite advanced after the formations were burned into it.
"That's all the basic knowledge. When refining elixirs, the most important thing is to master the heat and cooperate with the techniques. On the table in front, there are some formulas and refining procedures for unqualified elixirs. You can do it now
You can refer to the prescription and conduct the trial. When your success rate in the trial reaches more than 90%, the master will pass on the official medicine furnace and elixir recipe to you." The apprentice said.
Fang Pingping bowed and respectfully sent the apprentice off. Then he went to the table in front to get a prescription. After preparing the corresponding medicinal materials, he turned on the furnace and started the trial.
Fang Ping let the oil basin below burn for a while, staring at the pattern on the medicine stove that marked the temperature. Guessing that the temperature was already suitable, he sprinkled a little cold jade water into the medicine stove. When the cold jade water touched the water in the stove,
When the high temperature turned into a cloud of white mist rising up, Fang Ping used tweezers to hold a lone star grass through the white mist, gently passed it under the furnace, and then took it out again.
The originally green Lone Star Grass has turned extremely black. The prescription states that the first step in treating the Lone Star Grass is to use cold jade water to dissolve the high-temperature white mist, combined with the heat from the furnace bottom, to remove the poisonous emerald green color from it.
The thing must be smoked into pure white color before it can be used in the next step. Obviously, Fang Ping failed in this step.
At this time, an apprentice next to him used a large pipe to pour about a third of a tube of black powder into the medicine furnace. Immediately, his hand began to rotate and rub rapidly on the shaped rune pattern. A stream of
A powerful force was guided through the formation and penetrated into the medicine furnace, causing the medicine furnace to tremble non-stop.
A burst of black smoke rose from his medicine furnace, and a pungent smell floated in the air. Then, a bang, like the sound of a firecracker exploding, came from the medicine furnace. This apprentice
Hearing this sound, he immediately closed the iron plate on the oil basin and extinguished the fire in the oil basin. After a while, he turned the medicine furnace upside down, and a fist-sized ball of black elixir rolled out of the medicine furnace.
The elixir hit the porcelain plate below, smashing the porcelain plate into pieces. Then the elixir fell to the ground again, making a metal impact sound, and a few sparks burst out. The elixir rolled on the ground a few times.
It rolled, with a crash, and scattered into a pile of broken copper-like fragments.
The apprentice put down the medicine stove, spread his hands, and showed an apologetic smile on his face, "I'm sorry, I failed and made everyone laugh."
At this moment, there was a "boom" sound, like a bomb exploding, and another medicine furnace exploded. A large number of broken medicinal materials shot up from the medicine furnace and scattered in the room, making a mess.
"What a shame, he failed again! I don't believe in evil, so I will increase the dose next time!" Another apprentice slapped the medicine stove in front of him hard and cursed.
Fang Ping shook his head to get rid of the broken medicinal materials that fell on his head, with a wry smile on his face. This trial of elixirs is really not an easy task, and it may be life-threatening.
Fang Ping worked in the alchemy shop all day without making much progress. Seeing that the sun was setting in the west and it was getting late, Fang Ping put out the fire, packed up the medicinal materials, and set off to go home.
Testing medicinal materials has extremely high requirements for heat, technique, eyesight, etc. After this day's experiment, Fang Ping probably has a good idea. It will be impossible to pass this level in less than ten days and a half.
.
After returning to the room and having dinner, Fang Ping came to the backyard. It was just dark at night, the weather was slightly cool, and a few stars were already twinkling in the sky. Fang Ping stood quietly in the yard, started the Tianxi system, and adjusted the white
