"Huh!" Lu Ming breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that the essence of Dihuang Jing was finally extracted. It was considered a success.
"Snow Ganoderma!" Lu Ming just breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his tired eyes caused by being too nervous, but he heard Elder Huang's urgent call again.
Lu Ming shuddered and hurriedly popped the snow ganoderma into the alchemy cauldron. "Poof!" It turned into ashes again!
"Failure, please focus on me, now is the critical moment!" Elder Huang said with dissatisfaction.
Lu Ming didn't dare to relax anymore this time, and put the Snow Ganoderma into it again, but this time it was successful. He didn't dare to relax anymore, he could only look at the pill furnace with wide eyes, and his ears were always focused.
Always waiting for Elder Huang's orders.
This time, after about half a stick of incense had passed, he saw that the alchemy furnace had been burned purple-red by Xuanyang's fire, which showed how high the temperature was, but he did not dare to think too much about it.
"Vital Energy Fruit!" As soon as Elder Huang finished speaking, Lu Ming threw the Vital Energy Fruit into it, and his movements were already very skillful.
"Two poppies." As soon as Lu Ming retracted his hand, Elder Huang's words immediately rang out again, and he immediately put two more poppies into it.
This is not over yet. Lu Ming still has more than a dozen materials in his hand that need to be put in. He looks very nervous.
Elder Huang's movements were getting faster and faster, the alchemy furnace was constantly changing positions, and the scent of the medicine inside was getting stronger and stronger. The room was filled with a strong scent of medicine, and he could clearly see the medicine on Elder Huang's forehead.
Beads of sweat.
Refining elixirs cannot be completed in a short while. It requires constant adjustment of the heat to produce top-quality elixirs.
In the narrow cave, the flames in the medicine cauldron reflected on the mountain wall, beating with fangs and claws.
Lu Ming focused his attention on the churning flames in the medicine cauldron. This flame was controlled by Grandma Huang. His face was already slightly pale due to too much concentration and the higher temperature inside, and was covered with sweat beads.
.
In fact, the work of ordinary medicine boys is not so hard, but if you want to become an alchemist, you must work a hundred times harder than others. General medicine boys only need to be able to identify the characteristics and effects of various elixirs.
That's fine, but if you want a medicine boy to become an alchemist, then you have to learn how to grasp the actual situation, how to grasp the temperature, and you also need to develop strong soul perception, etc.
Lu Ming naturally wanted to choose the second option, so he would seriously study all of Elder Huang's alchemy knowledge in a place like this. What he was practicing now was just grasping the timing and cultivating his soul perception.
It is already very good that Lu Ming was able to work as a medicine boy for the first time, continue to focus for such a long time, and quickly master the best time to put the medicine into the furnace. This shows that he has a high understanding of medicine refining. In addition,
His cleverness makes him a very good alchemy material.
Squinting his eyes slightly, he watched Lu Ming successfully put the elixir into the elixir furnace again and again. Knowing that he had reached the limit, Elder Huang nodded slightly and said softly: "Okay, let's rest for a while."
Hearing this, Lu Ming's shoulders, which were trying to maintain balance, suddenly dropped. His body seemed to have lost all strength, and he lay softly on the cold ground. He gasped for air, his chest kept rising and falling, and his whole body was sore and numb.
He was too lazy to move a finger now. He didn't expect that he was even more tired than refining the medicine before he made it.
"At this time, the effect of your cultivation will be twice the result with half the effort!" Elder Huang said lightly as he glanced at Lu Ming, who was lying on the ground like soft mud.
After a moment of fighting between willing and unwillingness in his heart, Lu Ming could only sit up and wail with extreme reluctance, put his trembling hands into the hand seals of cultivation, and then slowly closed his eyes.
While operating the alchemy furnace, Elder Huang looked at the elixir essence in the alchemy furnace. Looking at this extremely obvious progress, Elder Huang nodded in amazement, and once again praised Lu Ming's outstanding soul perception in his heart.
Perception is the most direct expression of talent.
…
After closing his eyes and practicing for nearly half a stick of incense, the exhausted spiritual energy in Lu Ming's body finally emitted a bright light again, and this time the halo seemed to be brighter than a few hours ago.
Little by little.
He needed to use spiritual energy to send the elixir into the alchemy furnace. This was the reason why her spiritual energy was consumed, and she kept repeating it, and it was indeed almost exhausted. At this time, she slowly opened her eyes, and her whole body was full of energy.
The weak feeling of numbness in his buttocks had mostly dissipated. He twisted his neck, and the sound of bones colliding made Lu Ming let out a sigh of relief.
"Have you cultivated yourself? Then continue." Elder Huang, who was operating the alchemy furnace, looked at Lu Ming who became lively again and said with a smile.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head. After the painful process before, Lu Ming finally understood that he had been deceived by Elder Huang. In the past, when Elder Huang made medicine, he just stretched out his palm and burned it casually a few times, which made countless people crazy about the medicine.
It's hot out of the oven.
But such a simple process has now been slowed down countless times, and every step is practiced very slowly. This is why Lu Ming clearly sees every step of alchemy and remembers it clearly in his heart.
Only then do I have time to slowly deduce it.
Now that I understood it, it seemed a little late, so Lu Ming had no choice but to sigh depressedly, sit in front of the medicine cauldron again, and start preparing the next batch of materials to be put in.
With his previous experience, Lu Ming has become more comfortable, and the consumption of spiritual energy is no longer as great as before. In fact, if he masters the method, it will not consume too much spiritual energy. However, when Lu Ming did not know the method before,
Most of the spiritual power that Ming emitted was wasted, which was the reason why his spiritual power was exhausted.
What is extracted from the vitality fruit is a kind of slightly black fine particles. These fine particles have the effect of removing congestion and activating blood circulation. In the wild, some experienced injured monks often use it if they do not have enough healing medicine.
The vitality fruit is crushed into minced meat and used to relieve injuries.
Extracted from poppy flowers, it is a light red liquid. This liquid has the effect of paralyzing nerves and can be used for pain relief.
Looking at the three medicines neatly placed in front of Lu Ming, Lu Ming finally smiled at the little achievements. At least he saw some reward for his efforts. This kind of report may not seem big, but the experience of this kind of alchemy is
What other monks cannot get in their lifetime!
Taking a deep breath, Lu Ming nodded solemnly.
"The next step is to fuse the essences of several elixirs together. This is the most critical thing. You have to pay attention carefully and don't be careless. I will only demonstrate it once!" Elder Huang said in a deep voice.
As soon as the liquid he had prepared entered the medicine cauldron, it was wrapped in pure white powder and rolled slightly in the flames. The two gradually merged into a light red viscous liquid.
The soul's perception worked hard to control the temperature of the flame, slowly roasting the light red viscous liquid. Elder Huang explained to him while operating the alchemy furnace.
Under the continuous burning of the flames, the viscous liquid gradually turned into a dark red paste shape.
Staring at the dark red paste in the medicine cauldron from the transparent mirror, "Put the small black particles of the Vitality Fruit into it!" Elder Huang said, and the essence extracted from some materials just now was still in Lu Ming's hands.
The small black particles entered the medicine cauldron, but there was no change. The large group of small particles bounced back and forth in the flames, but they refused to merge into the dark red paste as expected.
"Various materials have different resistance to temperature, so you must learn to control the flame temperature anywhere in the tripod at will. Where low temperature is needed, you have to suppress the flame. Where high temperature is needed, you have to suppress the flame.
Let go of the suppression and increase the flame temperature..." Elder Huang said lightly. It seemed easy to him, but Lu Ming knew from listening that it was definitely not easy!
Licking his dry lips, Lu Ming nodded, and quickly used his soul perception to sense Elder Huang's manipulation of spiritual power. It is impossible for an ordinary alchemist to let you do this, unless the relationship is very close, or even half of the relationship.
The master-disciple relationship may not necessarily allow you to have such a close relationship. Lu Ming was very grateful to Elder Huang in his heart. This was not an ordinary friendship.
Lu Ming discovered that Elder Huang's soul perception had to maintain the flame temperature on one side and increase the flame temperature on the other side. This dual-purpose requirement really surprised Lu Ming.
However, after several serious perceptions, Lu Ming slowly found the key point and understood the principle. Lu Ming was very excited.
Within the medicine cauldron, the tiny black particles finally exploded under the increasing temperature, and handfuls of black powder slowly floated into the ball of light red paste.
The color of the person is dyed darker...
When the last handful of black powder floated into the paste, the flames in the medicine cauldron gradually extinguished. Elder Huang's perception gradually twitched, and Lu Ming also pulled out.
Glancing at the crimson paste that exuded a strong medicinal smell, Elder Huang cut it out of thin air with his palm. As he waved his palm, the continuously flowing crimson paste was divided into at least hundreds of tiny pieces.
liquid.
Elder Huang patted the storage bag and flicked his fingers, and hundreds of small jade bottles filled the narrow cave.
After placing the jade bottle in place, Elder Huang waved his hand casually, and the paste liquid in mid-air fell accurately into the jade bottle.
Taking a jade bottle casually, Elder Huang handed it to Lu Ming with a smile, and said with a joking smile: "This is your compensation!"
Lu Ming eagerly took the jade bottle, looked at the not very pure crimson liquid inside, but couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and pride in his heart.
What you are holding in your hand is a third-grade elixir, a blood-activating pill. Each pill requires at least dozens of mid-grade spiritual stones!
