"Haha, young master, you are so humble. In recent days, almost all your actions have been well-targeted."
Hearing Ling Xiao's words, the old servant Uncle Fu said with a smile, and then set off towards the outside of Ling Xiao's mansion, preparing to buy a pill furnace for Ling Xiao himself.
Seeing this, Ling Xiao smiled slightly, and immediately stopped paying any attention to it. Instead, he entered the forbidden training room and began to sort out the various elixirs and herbs he had collected and classify them into categories.
After Uncle Defu has purchased the elixir furnace, he can begin to refine some more practical elixirs to prepare for the 'Young Genius Battle' between the four major families in half a month.
In the forbidden training room, half an hour later, when Uncle Fu led two strong men and returned with an alchemy furnace that was as tall as one person and weighed more than a thousand kilograms, Ling Xiao had already collected all the necessary materials for alchemy.
The preparation work was almost done. At this time, I saw that the pill furnace I needed had been purchased and returned, so I took action myself, stretched out a strong arm, and used pure physical strength to move the pill furnace that required two people.
A strong man came to carry the alchemy furnace, grabbed it, and easily moved it into the forbidden cultivation room.
"Master, you are so powerful!"
Seeing Ling Xiao's method, Uncle Fu and the three people present were a little shocked.
"Haha, this little trick is nothing at all."
Ling Xiao whispered, and then said to his old servant Ah Fu: "Uncle Fu, I plan to try to refine some elixirs in the next time."
"While refining the elixir, you must not be disturbed, so if there is nothing important, don't come to me."
After hearing Ling Xiao's instructions, Uncle Fu nodded solemnly and said: "Master, don't worry, I will keep an eye on you while you are refining the elixir, and I won't let trivial matters disturb you.
.”
Hearing this, Ling Xiao nodded, then turned around and entered the practice. He came to the alchemy furnace that was as tall as half a person. After a brief observation, he put firewood at the bottom of the alchemy furnace and started to light it.
"The refining of elixirs is extremely complicated, and the steps cannot be messed up in the slightest. Although I have refined them thousands of times in my previous life, this is my first time in this life. I don't know if I will make any mistakes.
.”
"But even if there are mistakes, it's not a big deal. At most, it's just a waste of some herbs. I still don't lack these things."
Ling Xiao lit the fire of the alchemy furnace, and then thought deeply: "I am refining the alchemy this time mainly to prepare for the 'Youth Genius Battle' in half a month. According to rumors, the young genius battle is no longer the traditional four major families.
Geniuses, instead of the old model of drawing lots and fighting each other, they have to enter a dangerous place and undergo an extremely bloody trial."
"During the trial, anything can happen, including poisoning, injury, even exhaustion of vitality...etc."
"Therefore, it is best for the elixir that needs to be refined this time to be able to solve the above problems when encountering them."
"From this direction, there are four or five types of elixirs that I need to refine next, including refining poison-repelling elixirs, healing powders, and Qi-restoring elixirs that can quickly replenish vitality."
"As long as I refine the above elixirs, I will be fully prepared for the bloody trial...and this is my first time refining elixirs, and these elixirs,
The grades are not very high, just enough for me to practice."
"Of course, among them, the 'Rejuvenation Pill' that can replenish vitality, and after taking one pill, can quickly restore the depleted warrior's vitality, does not fall into this category."
"Because the Qi Pill this time is of a very high grade, around the second grade. If I want to successfully refine it, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort."
Ling Xiao sorted out the purpose and depth of refining the elixir. After sorting it out clearly, he started to prepare for action.
At this time, the fire in the alchemy furnace was getting bigger and bigger, and it could be used for refining elixirs.
Under this condition, Ling Xiao no longer hesitated, and directly recalled the methods in his mind about refining poison-repelling pills, healing powder and other elixirs, and quickly started refining them.
As a result, Ling Xiao quickly became busy in the training room, which was only about ten square meters.
On the one hand, we need to control the heat, on the other hand, we need to grasp the right time to add the herbs, and on the other hand, we need to monitor the degree of condensation of the elixir...
In short, Ling Xiao, who was refining elixirs for the first time, was still in a hurry even though he had the experience of refining elixirs hundreds of times in his previous life.
This situation lasted for two or three hours, and it only improved after Ling Xiao refined seven or eight furnaces of elixirs.
…………
Time passed silently, and in the blink of an eye, Ling Xiao had locked himself in the training room for more than three days.
During these three days, Ling Xiao, except for the necessary eating, drinking, and diarrhea, spent almost all of his time in the training room, devoting himself wholeheartedly to refining alchemy.
After three days of such painstaking practice, Ling Xiao finally started to get the hang of it, and the number of pills that were refining to waste was quickly reduced.
Moreover, he successfully refined more than a dozen furnaces of poison-repelling pills and healing powders.
These detoxifying pills and healing powders have been tested by Ling Xiao and are very effective. They are more than twice as effective as those pills on the market.
However, the Poison Expelling Pill and the Healing Powder are only first-grade elixirs with low value. An ordinary alchemist can refine them if they are willing to spend time.
Therefore, after Ling Xiao refined the above two elixirs enough, he began to try to refine the second-grade 'Qi Recovery Pill'.
However, in the process of refining this elixir, Ling Xiao encountered many problems. Either the time of elixir generation was not controlled well, resulting in the elixir refining failure; or, the elixir had not yet been completed, or it was simply discarded.
This situation also shows from the side that refining high-grade elixirs is not an easy task.
However, despite repeated attempts and failures, Ling Xiao always persisted and had no intention of giving up even a little bit.
With this somewhat terrifying willpower, Ling Xiao finally gained something on the night of the third day and successfully refined a batch of 'Qi Rejuvenation Pill'.
"The elixir fire is controlled at 600 degrees Celsius, and the elixir release time is controlled at 18 breaths..."
In the simple training room, Ling Xiao's hair was disheveled. He had not taken care of himself for three days and three nights, so he became a bit like a savage.
But even so, Ling Xiao didn't care at all, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the alchemy, staring at the alchemy furnace filled with the fragrance of medicine, without even blinking: "Eleven breaths, twelve breaths
Breathe... seventeen breaths, eighteen breaths, it's done, this time is the best time for the Qi-Reviving Pill to come out."
Ling Xiao stared at the alchemy furnace, firmly grasping the top cover of the alchemy furnace with one hand, and waited until he silently counted eighteen breaths in his heart.
Immediately, all the strength in his body burst out, and he immediately opened the top cover of the more than 100 kilograms of alchemy furnace.
Immediately afterwards, a strong medicinal fragrance steamed out like a white mist.
Ling Xiao smelled the aroma of the medicine, and after taking a deep breath, he felt refreshed, and even if he couldn't wait to move his eyes away, he plunged into the alchemy furnace with the top cover opened.
Suddenly, following Ling Xiao's gaze, he cast his gaze into the alchemy furnace. Ling Xiao immediately saw that in the alchemy furnace that was more than a foot square, there were dozens of dragon eye-sized pieces lying quietly, crystal clear, and exuding.
The elixir has a tantalizing fragrance, and one look at it makes people want to swallow it in one gulp.
Obviously, these dozens of longan-sized, crystal clear elixirs are the second-grade elixir ‘Reviving Qi Pill’ that Ling Xiao spent several days refining!
"Huh... I finally succeeded in refining this second-grade elixir, the Qi Restoring Pill."
Looking at the dozens of pills lying quietly in the pill furnace, Ling Xiao let out a long breath, and a bright smile appeared on his face that had not closed his eyes for three days and three nights: "The second-grade pills are back to life."
Dan, the refining of this elixir is really not easy. In my previous life, due to my superb alchemy skills, I was able to make it almost casually."
"And in this life, refining elixir for the first time really cost me a lot of energy."
"However, with this successful experience, when you continue to refine this elixir in the future, you will have experience. According to the diagram, the success rate of elixir refining will be greatly increased."
What Ling Xiao said was a bit infuriating.
It should be noted that normal alchemists have to work hard for several years before they can enter the threshold and successfully refine a simple first-grade elixir.
If you want to master second-grade elixirs or above, without sufficient resources and the guidance of famous teachers, it will take four to five years at worst to slowly explore.
But Ling Xiao, in just three days, he went through a process that took others several years, and he said it was quite a waste of his own energy?
If these words were heard by those alchemists who were struggling to refine the elixir but could not succeed, they might even think of killing Ling Xiao.
It can be said that the rhythm of comparing people to each other is exasperating!
Ling Mansion in Black Rock City, in the courtyard where Ling Xiao belongs.
Ling Xiao successfully refined a furnace of second-grade elixir 'Qi Rejuvenation Pill', and finally stepped out of the forbidden training room that had been sealed for three days.
When he walked out of the forbidden room, he found that outside the forbidden room, the old servant Uncle Fu had been quietly guarding the door.
Even though he had not slept for several days, he still insisted on guarding, for fear that ignorant outsiders would break into the forbidden practice room and disturb Ling Xiao's alchemy.
Seeing this servant who was already in his forties and no longer young, Ling Xiao's eyes were slightly sore and he was very moved.
Because he has been a man for two generations, he deeply knows that this old servant is an extremely loyal person, more reliable than those so-called friends of life and death who show sincerity, just like a true relative.
And now, Ling Xiao has completely regarded this Ah Fu as one of his elders, instead of a servant who scolds him at will.
"Master, you finally came out of the forbidden training room."
Hearing the sound of Ling Xiao walking, the old servant Uncle Fu quickly looked over. Seeing that it was Ling Xiao himself, he asked with a sigh of relief: "Master, have you gained anything from your alchemy this time?"
"Uncle Fu, this elixir refining went very smoothly. I have already refined some elixirs, which are enough for my own use."
