Volume 1: Rebirth of Luoxia Chapter 31: Su Ruxue's Alchemy Technique
Lin Dongjiu urged impatiently: "How about it, Miss? Do you dare to bet?"
"Just bet! Don't dare! If you lose, you will... you will leave the Luoxia Sect forever, and I will never see you again!"
Su Ruxue shouted angrily, she didn't know where Lin Dongjiu had the confidence to dare to make another bet with her, but why didn't she make a bet that was sure to win?
"So heartless...Okay, okay, that's settled, let's start the competition now."
Lin Dongjiu agreed readily. He would not lose anyway, so it didn't matter what conditions Su Ruxue put forward.
There is no suspense in this game, or in other words, it is simply a crushing game.
One is a spiritual-level alchemist, and the other is a mysterious-level alchemist. The level gap is like a gap in the sky, and Su Ruxue will lose completely.
Lin Dongjiu knew that he would definitely win, but he still deliberately made a fool of himself and asked Su Ruxue to set a new bet with him.
There is no way, he is really short of manpower, he alone cannot refine so many elixirs in a short time, but if you include Ling'er, He Qing, and Su Ruxue, the progress will be greatly accelerated. In a few days
It would take time to finish refining his mountain of herbs.
Not to be outdone, Su Ruxue chose the elixirs of Qingyang Grass and Wu Nianhua, and planned to refine a furnace of Foundation Building Pills.
Lin Dongjiu and Su Ruxue signaled to Fang Lei that everything was ready. Fang Lei nodded and asked He Qing to light a piece of thick incense and start timing.
Lin Dongjiu did not rush to start refining the elixir, but first observed how Su Ruxue made the elixir.
His alchemy technique is different from the traditional alchemy technique. A proper look at Su Ruxue's alchemy method will also benefit his understanding of alchemy a lot.
After Su Ruxue sorted out the elixirs here, her expression became focused and she instantly entered the state.
She activated the fire spirit power in her body, and blazing flames spurted out from her hands, igniting the alchemy furnace in front of her. The red fire light immediately illuminated the furnace wall, and the formations in the furnace to assist alchemy were also burned one by one under the high temperature.
activation.
It has to be said that this heaven and earth strange fire is really a rare thing. Even the eldest lady of the Luoxia Sect cannot get a kind of heaven and earth strange fire and can only rely on her own fire spirit root to activate the spiritual fire.
Lin Dongjiu discovered that the two alchemy furnaces in front of him were not ordinary things, because as soon as Su Ruxue lit the fire, he could smell a refreshing fragrance of medicine coming from the furnace. Only the alchemy furnace has been refining medicinal materials for more than a hundred years, and the medicine is so powerful.
Only to such a degree can it have such a fragrant aroma.
A powerful elixir furnace can enhance the medicinal properties of the elixir, which is far beyond what a new elixir furnace can match. Therefore, some great masters will even use various precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures to cultivate their own elixir furnaces for thousands of years, so as to improve them.
The medicinal power of the alchemy furnace.
He didn't expect Fang Lei to be so generous and willing to give them such a precious alchemy furnace for competition.
Looking at Su Ruxue again, I saw her carefully using her spiritual power to roll up the first medicinal ingredient and put it into the alchemy furnace.
The elixir fire swooped up and directly wrapped the medicinal materials. The medicinal materials were not ignited in the fire as expected, but instead seemed to be soaked in a basin of clear water, swimming up and down. It was truly magical.
She controlled the heat and began to purify, first extracting the impurities in the medicinal materials to ensure the purity of the elixir.
This is the first step in alchemy and the most important step related to the quality of the elixir.
The control of fire is the most challenging part of the alchemist's skills. The alchemist must have a good understanding of the characteristics of each medicinal material, otherwise it will often happen that the medicinal materials will be reduced to ashes by a fire.
Moreover, the alchemy process sometimes requires high temperatures and sometimes low temperatures, which requires the alchemist to be very proficient in controlling the alchemy fire, making the process very difficult.
Therefore, every time the alchemist refines a batch of elixir, it will consume a huge amount of the alchemist's mind, and some very high-grade elixirs may even require the alchemist to refine for more than ten years, or even a hundred years.
Although alchemists make money quickly and have abundant resources, ordinary monks would not have such great perseverance, so this is one of the reasons why alchemists are very rare.
Su Ruxue was sweating profusely from exhaustion, and the elixir fire was continuously fed into the alchemy furnace. Her control of the heat was very skillful, and could even be said to be perfect.
Lin Dongjiu knew very well that this was the result of her years of hard work. At the same time, she also lamented that the rise of the Luoxia Sect was promising. In a few years, the Luoxia Sect would probably have another new star of alchemy rise.
Under the gaze of his spiritual consciousness, the medicinal materials in the alchemy furnace were directly melted by the elixir fire into two groups of black and white liquids, with the black solution being the impurities in the medicinal materials.
Su Ruxue performed a magic spell, and all the impurities were discharged from the end of the furnace. At this time, there was only a ball of pure white liquid left in the furnace. This liquid was the liquid remaining after the medicinal materials were purified.
Under the control of her spiritual power, this group of medicinal liquid slowly moved to the card slot in the furnace where they were temporarily stored, waiting for the next medicinal liquid purified from medicinal materials to be fused with them.
The next process sped up a lot. Su Ruxue purified the remaining medicinal materials as before, and she quickly completed the purification.
The next thing to do is to fuse these medicinal solutions together. This step is also the most critical step.
Not only must there not be any mistakes in the time of fusion, but the heat of each mass of liquid must be precisely controlled. If you are not careful, all your efforts will be wasted and it will become a furnace of waste, and in serious cases, it may even cause the furnace to explode.
Su Ruxue's expression became nervous. Her skills were flying, and she poured more than ten spells into the alchemy furnace in an instant. The speed was so fast that afterimages appeared. This should be the alchemy technique taught by Fang Lei himself. It was completely calculated.
Learn advanced alchemy.
This mass of medicinal liquid sometimes dispersed and sometimes merged under the influence of her alchemy techniques, which was a precursor to the formation of the elixir.
But at this moment, an accident suddenly happened. The liquid medicine continued to disperse and fuse, but did not turn into elixirs.
The so-called elixir means that the solution will slowly divide into several small groups of liquid medicine, and finally turn into elixirs. The number of elixirs also represents how many elixirs can be refined.
Seeing this situation, Su Ruxue panicked, and a thin layer of sweat began to form on her forehead.
She didn't dare to be distracted in the slightest, and continued to control the liquefied medicine with all her energy.
Time passed by, and the liquid in the furnace still didn't turn into elixir. She racked her brains and couldn't figure out the problem. Her hands began to tremble a little, but the more nervous she was, the less the temperature of the elixir fire became.
It began to surge under control, and nearly one-third of a large mass of medicinal liquid was evaporated in an instant.
"Are you going to fail..."
She was like snow, her face was ashen, she couldn't turn into elixir, and everything she had done before would be in vain. How could she be willing to do this?
Just when she was frozen there and at a loss, an accident happened again.
Su Ruxue suddenly felt that she had lost contact with the furnace fire, which meant that she could no longer control the temperature of the furnace fire. If the furnace fire lost control, the refining of the furnace elixir would have completely failed, and there would be no possibility of recovery.
.
Su Ruxue's eye circles turned red, and her mood hit rock bottom. This outcome was obviously unacceptable to her.
"Oh, I can only blame myself for not practicing my skills well enough..."
Su Ruxue was a little frustrated. She was about to tell Fang Lei that she had failed in refining the elixir, but God seemed to be playing tricks on her. Her connection with the elixir fire came back! And the medicine liquid actually started to turn into elixirs, like a miracle!
This batch of liquid medicine gradually divided into three equal parts. If no more accidents occur, this furnace can produce three foundation-building pills.
Su Ruxue had no time to think about the reason, and once again devoted herself to it, the rest of the operation was simple. After the medicine was liquefied and the elixir was transformed, the alchemist only needed to use the elixir fire to cultivate it for half an hour, and then it was ready.
After the alchemy furnace stabilized, she recalled all the weird things just now and felt even more incredible.
Su Ruxue believed that there was only one truth, and that was that someone had helped her, otherwise she would never have been able to turn the medicine into a pill smoothly.
The most likely reason for this is that her master helped her secretly. Su Ruxue turned her attention to Fang Lei, but Fang Lei looked at her with a look of relief, as if he was happy because she was able to successfully convert the elixir in the end.
"My master is definitely not the kind of person who plays tricks in secret! So what is going on?"
Su Ruxue was even more confused. She turned her eyes to He Qing, only to find that He Qing was squatting on the ground and drawing circles in boredom, not caring at all.
"Could it be...it's him?!"
Su Ruxue reluctantly turned her eyes to Lin Dongjiu. She would rather believe that this was a miracle from God than believe that the gangster next to her helped her.
Also, how could he help him turn elixirs with his strength? This is simply a fantasy!
When Su Ruxue looked at Lin Dongjiu, Lin Dongjiu was also looking at her. She found that Lin Dongjiu hadn't started refining the pill yet.
Su Ruxue cast a questioning look, but Lin Dongjiu responded with a baffled look, and then started playing with the herbs again.
In fact, Lin Dongjiu did help her, but he was too lazy to admit it.
Su Ruxue's foundation is indeed very solid, but pills like Foundation Establishment Pills, for her, a fifth-level spiritual alchemist, are the kind of pills that can be refined, but require a lot of effort and energy.
She probably rarely refines this kind of tricky elixir, so she was a little inexperienced when she finally made the elixir. As a result, the temperature of the spiritual fire deviated by a few degrees, and she was unable to successfully make the elixir.
At that time, Lin Dongjiu used his spiritual consciousness to directly cut off her connection with the elixir fire, and took over for a while until he helped her complete the elixir transformation.
It is really convenient to make alchemy if you have spiritual consciousness. All the information in the alchemy furnace can be intuitively fed back. Therefore, most alchemists who have reached the level of Alchemy King are majoring in the sea expansion realm.
Of course, there are a small number of alchemy geniuses who can become alchemy kings without the need for spiritual consciousness, but they are only a minority.
Lin Dongjiu guessed that the main reason why Fang Lei had been stuck as a Xuan-level alchemist for many years was because his cultivation was not in place and he could not be promoted to Alchemy King.
"How dare you ignore me, this damn Lin Dongjiu!...Ahhh! I'm so angry!!"
Su Ruxue was so angry that her chest was heaving, and she pouted like a child and ignored him.
Half an hour later, a stream of elixir fragrance floated out from her elixir furnace. Su Ruxue's face turned a little pale and her steps staggered a little. It was obvious that refining the foundation-building elixir consumed too much of her spiritual power, making her somewhat powerless.
She withdrew the elixir fire and opened the elixir-taking mouth, and three plump and round foundation-building elixirs rolled out.
Fang Lei made a casual move, and these pills flew into his hand. He was very satisfied with these pills, and kept nodding and praising: "Three low-grade foundation-building pills... Not bad, worthy of it."
He is my apprentice!"
Fang Lei looked up and saw that Lin Dongjiu was still stunned, and couldn't help but ask:
"Lin Dongjiu, why haven't you started refining the alchemy yet? The competition is about to end in half an hour. Do you want to admit defeat directly?"
In fact, he had been observing Lin Dongjiu for a while, but Lin Dongjiu had been watching Su Ruxue making elixirs, which made Fang Lei have an absurd idea in his mind:
Could it be that Lin Dongjiu, a little kid, wants to learn and sell now?
