Watching the ugly man leave, Elder Huang affixed the black key to the stone door. Only Lu Ming and Elder Huang were left in the room.
Elder Huang had already told Lu Ming in advance what he should pay attention to when refining alchemy, and asked him to remember that during the alchemy process, the alchemist is very focused. However, this time Elder Huang asked Lu Ming to do very few things.
Let’s take a look at the alchemy environment, the steps of alchemy, and how to control the heat. As for the selection of materials and the control of medicinal properties, Lu Ming can basically pass the test.
Lu Ming watched Elder Huang skillfully adjust various instruments to the best condition, especially the adjustment and application of fire. He was very attentive and did not miss even a single detail.
After all the preparations were completed, Elder Huang took out a four-eared square tripod. Lu Ming knew at a glance that this was by no means an ordinary thing. Even Uncle Qian didn't have one that could match it. After all, how could the Qingyun Sect be such an alchemist?
Master, no matter what, I will make every best alchemy furnace for Elder Huang.
Lu Ming observed the alchemy cauldron carefully. It was dark red in color with a little yellow light on it. There were two ferocious snake heads carved on the lower part of the alchemy cauldron. The large snake mouth formed two interconnected fire holes.
The deeper it goes into the curved shape, the smaller the diameter becomes. It seems that there is something hidden inside.
At the top of the alchemy cauldron, a giant snake coils into a dark red cauldron cover. There is also a special hole in the cauldron cover, which is a place where medicinal materials are specially put.
There are some fine holes made of ice silver scattered on the lid of the cauldron, which have the effect of dissipating heat to prevent the high temperature from causing the furnace to explode. A transparent mirror made of ice essence is placed in the middle of the cauldron. From here, you can refining.
While taking the medicine, I could clearly see everything going on inside.
The surface of the alchemy is painted with beautiful monsters, and the carvings are lifelike like living creatures, some with angry eyes and ferocious eyes, and some with magnificent wings like a roc.
Looking at this gorgeous-looking alchemy cauldron, Lu Ming's eyes naturally showed a hint of envy. The grade of this alchemy cauldron is probably not lower than the fourth level. Although alchemy furnaces can be found everywhere, as long as there are spiritual stones,
You can buy it, but it is extremely difficult to buy the alchemy furnace when it reaches level 3 or above. Even if you can buy it, it is still very expensive!
The reason is very simple. The alchemy furnace is also a kind of existence equivalent to a magic weapon. The higher the level, the more rare it is!
"This is the fourth-grade snake cauldron. The sect spent 100,000 mid-grade spiritual stones to buy it!" Elder Huang glanced at Lu Ming's envious expression, looked at the four snake mouths on the dark red pill cauldron, and said lightly
road.
"Fourth Grade Snake Cauldron?" Lu Ming blinked in confusion upon hearing this unfamiliar name.
"Alchemy cauldrons also have levels. The more fire openings in the cauldron, the higher the level of the alchemy cauldron and the rarer it is. Don't think that this kind of fire port can be created by just drilling a few holes. In fact, the secrets inside are unknown to laymen.
It’s hard for people to notice!
The fire mouth is the essence of the alchemy cauldron, which requires high-precision polishing. If there is even a slight mistake during the process, the entire alchemy cauldron will become a failure. Therefore, the more fire mouths, the stronger the auxiliary effect of the alchemy cauldron in refining medicine. Of course,
If you want to control multiple fire vents, you need strong soul perception. If you can control two fire vents now, that's your limit."
"Originally, I could only master a three-port alchemy furnace at most, but since I have been addicted to refining pills for many years, I have reached the level of proficiency in the use of the alchemy furnace. Therefore, I can also use the fourth-grade alchemy furnace, but my
My cultivation level is a little low, otherwise I can practice fourth-grade elixirs!" Elder Huang has become more easygoing to Lu Ming since he accepted him as a disciple of the Spiritual Medicine Garden, and said with a smile.
"A good alchemy cauldron is as important to an alchemist as a sword in the hands of a warrior!" Lu Ming nodded slightly, looking at Elder Huang to see what to do next.
"First of all, you must be familiar with the alchemy cauldron. Press one of your hands on the fire mouth and then use the spiritual energy in your body to input it to sense it." Elder Huang said while showing him the operation.
Seeing Elder Huang's spiritual energy entering the fire of the alchemy furnace, Lu Ming closed his eyes slightly, as if he was communicating with the alchemy furnace.
The spiritual energy emitted by Elder Huang formed a cyclone that fluctuated slightly, and streams of golden spiritual energy spurted out, finally turning the palm of his hand slightly yellow.
After the golden spiritual energy reached the palm, it fell silent for a while and then, as if it was being violently suctioned, it burst out of the palm and then penetrated into the alchemy cauldron through the mouth of the fire.
"puff…"
There was a muffled sound, and the golden spiritual energy was suddenly transformed into a light yellow substance after passing through the fire mouth, and the flames continued to boil and burn in the elixir. Lu Ming was amazed when he saw this kind of perception. This kind of perception definitely requires long-term training.
Otherwise, it may not be able to ignite the flame at once, and either the spiritual power will be too large or too small.
"This is how flames are generated, but you may not be able to ignite the fire the first time!" Elder Huang said as he lit the flame.
Looking at the flames churning in the alchemy cauldron, Elder Huang said solemnly: "Even if the flame summoned at this time is not the fire of refining medicine, you still have to concentrate on controlling the wood attribute in your body and infuse it into the elixir.
You have to see clearly inside the cauldron!"
Lu Ming watched Elder Huang's every move carefully without blinking, not daring to be careless for fear of missing a key step.
Elder Huang's eyes were slightly closed, and he pondered for a moment, as if he was searching for something in his body, "This requires soul perception to find!"
After a while, Elder Huang opened his eyes. If anything, he stretched out a finger and tapped on the other fire port, and a very thin stream of green air was slowly poured in.
As soon as the green spiritual energy entered the alchemy cauldron, the pale yellow flame suddenly became quiet as if a chemical reaction had occurred. At this time, even if Lu Ming had not yet controlled the flame, he could still detect the kind of fire in the flame.
The violent factor has been neutralized by the power of wood, and due to the principle of wood making fire, the flames at this time are obviously more durable and controllable than before.
"This is the spiritual power of the wood attribute. It can increase the durability and stability of the flame, and make it easier to control by you!" Elder Huang said to Lu Ming.
"This is the elixir material I need to practice the elixir this time. When I ask you to put the materials listed in it into the elixir furnace, you must put it in in time, and the time cannot exceed one breath!" Elder Huang
Pointing at Lu Ming, the names of some elixirs and the order in which they should be put into the elixir furnace suddenly appeared in Lu Ming's mind.
Squinting his eyes slightly to sense the information in his mind, Lu Ming nodded slightly. There was no doubt about Elder Huang's words. The short time difference did not allow him to be negligent in the slightest.
"Rehmannia glutinosa, one snow ganoderma, one vitality fruit, two poppy flowers..." After memorizing the quantity and order of the medicinal materials in his mind, he began to concentrate on watching Elder Huang operating the alchemy furnace.
Now that some main medicines have been refined in the alchemy furnace, what Lu Ming needs to do is add auxiliary elixirs.
"Rehmannia glutinosa essence!" After ten breaths, Elder Huang shouted to Lu Ming while operating the alchemy furnace.
Lu Ming did not dare to hesitate. With a flick of his fingers, a somewhat pure Rehmannia glutinosa appeared in his palm, and he threw it from the snake head entrenched on the top of the alchemy cauldron.
As soon as the Rehmannia glutinosa essence entered the alchemy cauldron, Lu Ming jumped up before he could control the flames. In an instant, the Rehmannia glutinosa essence turned into dark ashes and was finally expelled from the cauldron by the special settings in the alchemy cauldron.
"No, put it again!" Elder Huang said to Lu Ming. Looking at his first mistake, Lu Ming did not dare to be careless again, and popped out a Rehmannia glutinosa plant again. After swallowing, Lu Ming cast a Rehmannia glutinosa plant again this time.
The Rehmannia glutinosa persisted in the flames for a while and still turned into pitch black ashes.
"If you fail, you only have three chances, otherwise the pills will be gone!" Elder Huang said with some sullenness.
After wiping a cold sweat, it was his turn to assist in refining the medicine. Lu Ming finally knew that this job was not something that anyone could handle easily, not to mention that it was just an assistance.
For the last time, Lu Ming grasped the speed and threw in another Rehmannia glutinosa plant. Lu Ming's face was solemn, and he gradually used his ignorant soul perception to stare at the Rehmannia glutinosa plant suspended on the flame through the ice mirror.
.
After tumbling in the flames for a while, the rehmannia root finally began to gradually peel off the turf. The juice contained in the grass leaves was also smoked and roasted into a little bit of pale white powder. The essence of the rehmannia root fell into the elixir furnace and merged with other main herbs.
