Chapter 99 In the blink of an eye, a first-order low-grade alchemist!
"Why make elixirs?"
Lin Qi smiled slightly: "There are many reasons. Because when refining the medicinal liquid into elixir, the rules of heaven and earth bless the medicinal properties, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth assists the medicinal power, the alchemist's spiritual thoughts improve the properties of the medicinal elixir, etc.
wait."
"But after all, these reasons are just striving for perfection, which affects the quality of the elixir. The improvement of the method of alchemy is not the reason for refining the elixir."
"As for why you make elixirs, there are only two reasons: shelf life and convenience."
"The medicinal properties of the elixir are not easily lost, the storage conditions are not demanding, and it is easy to carry."
"Brother Bu, do you think what I said is right?"
Bu Jinshui was stunned and speechless for a long time.
More than right.
Simply perfect.
Even though the number of words in the answer is small, every sentence is the truth. It is a refined and accurate answer, which is more sufficient to prove Lynch's understanding of alchemy than a lengthy pile of reasons.
Even I can't give a better answer than this.
But I have been immersed in alchemy for many years and have gone through countless alchemy tests, but the person in front of me has only read the book for one day.
And it was only the most basic books that gave him such an understanding.
Is this a sentence that can be described by genius?
Bu Jinshui was ecstatic, knowing that he had found a treasure!
He previously said that Lin Qi would be promoted to a second-level alchemist in half a year, but he felt that what he said was a bit exaggerated, so he had to use some small talk in order to deceive Lin Qi into alchemy.
But now it seems that what I said was a bit conservative.
Why half a year? Lynch can improve in less than three months.
The difference between a first-level alchemist and a second-level alchemist is not the difference in alchemy techniques, but mainly the difference in understanding.
With Lin Qi's understanding, as long as he is familiar with the alchemy techniques, his level of alchemy will naturally improve rapidly.
Bu Jinshui had almost seen the scene of him being commended as an elder, and immediately jumped up and shouted: "I will prepare the medicinal materials for you now, please wait a moment, I will be back soon!"
"Okay, thank you very much, Brother Bu."
Lin Qi cupped his hands, and after Bu Jinshui ran out, he sat down cross-legged.
Anyway, being idle is idle, so why not continue to study "Elixir Prescriptions".
With his eyes slightly closed, Lin Qi kept chewing and absorbing the various alchemy techniques, insights and prescriptions in the alchemy formula in his mind.
Try to imprint everything in this book into your mind.
A moment passed in the blink of an eye.
Bu Jinshui pushed the door open and called out: "Xue Long, the medicinal materials are here. What I brought are all the medicinal materials for refining the Huoxue Pills, a full hundred copies. I will refine them first, and you can watch carefully.
Pay attention to the steps.”
"good."
Lin Qi stood aside quietly and watched carefully without blinking.
Although there are various explanations in "Alchemy Strategy", most of them talk about using medicinal cauldrons and self-contained flames to make alchemy, which is a high-level alchemy.
These low-level explanations of using alchemy furnaces to make alchemy are almost just a brief introduction.
Moreover, each sect draws different underground fires from the ground, with different firepower and different flame characteristics. It cannot be introduced uniformly in one article.
You must experience it yourself, coupled with the teachings of your predecessors, and accumulate experience, then you can become better familiar with the earth fire and alchemy furnace here.
This is a lesson that must be learned. There is no room for laziness and no shortcuts.
"The first step is to sort the medicinal materials and put medicinal materials of similar quality together."
"The second step is to start the fire and heat the furnace. The switch is here. You can adjust the heat by twisting the switch. When the furnace is almost hot, start the third step."
"The third step is to refine the medicinal liquid and remove the impurities in the medicinal materials through burning, leaving the pure medicinal liquid in a small bottle aside."
"The fourth step is to condense it into an elixir. Mix the liquid medicine, remove the water through burning, and finally condense it into an elixir."
Bu Jinshui introduced each step while refining the elixir. Each step was explained concisely, but the execution was quite complicated.
If the mental power is not strong enough, it will be impossible to control the heat accurately, let alone extract the liquid.
And the last step of condensing it into elixir requires even greater mental power.
Although Huoxue Pill is the most common and low-end elixir, if you are not proficient in the steps of elixir refining, it is not that easy to successfully refine it.
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. Your goal now is to master the steps and control the heat. Even if you can only extract a bottle of liquid medicine, it is progress."
Bu Jinshui did not put pressure on Lynch and asked him to take his time and not to rush.
Lin Qi nodded and started sorting the medicinal materials.
Bu Jinshui folded his arms and looked at it, nodding repeatedly, thinking that Xue Long's mental perception was really keen, and the quality of the medicinal materials he selected was almost the same, and they were all medicinal materials that had lost more than 20% of their medicinal properties.
Practice using these low-quality medicinal materials first, and then use better medicinal materials to make elixirs after you become proficient.
"Fire up the furnace."
Lynch started the second step.
Because the Bu Jin Shui had been used to refine elixirs before, the stove was still hot, so the heat standard was quickly reached.
Lynch started the third step: refining the medicinal solution.
He picked up a blood-activating grass and placed it in the alchemy furnace. After a dozen breaths, his mental power combined with his true energy led the medicinal liquid into the medicine bottle.
Then take out a piece of Panax notoginseng and refine it.
Next are safflower, salvia, alpinia...
While Lin Qi was refining the medicinal solution, Bu Jinshui watched intently, his eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that Xue Long before him was making alchemy for the first time.
With such a calm attitude, such precise steps, and the speed of refining without any hesitation, he was simply born to make alchemy!
You must know that when I made elixirs for the first time, I was so nervous that I broke the medicine bottles in my haste.
Even so, the elder who taught me still said that I was good.
If the elder saw Xue Long making elixirs now, he would probably be so shocked that he would immediately kneel down and beg to accept him as his disciple.
What does it mean to learn from a disciple?
As long as you accept Xue Long, a genius alchemy disciple, even a pig will be respected by thousands of people in the future and become one of the most noble figures in the Tianhuo Sect.
"I found a treasure, I found a treasure!"
Bu Jinshui roared in his heart. If he wasn't afraid of disturbing Lin Qi's alchemy, he would have roared with excitement.
"Step 4: Condensate it into a pill."
Lin Qi silently recited the steps in his mind and sent his mind power into the elixir furnace to control the formation of this furnace of blood-activating elixir.
"If you perform the elixir technique at this time, send in your own spiritual power, and then induce the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to pour into the elixir, and the rules of the air flow between heaven and earth are formed in conjunction with the elixir, this elixir will definitely become a special grade."
Lin Qi thought to himself.
But now that Bu Jinshui was here, he suppressed the urge to use the elixir.
After all, this is my first time refining an elixir, so I should keep a low profile, as long as I can make the elixir take shape. I don't want to be special. If everything is low-level, it will be considered a success.
boom!
The furnace lid jumps up, which means that the water in the medicinal liquid in the alchemy furnace has evaporated.
Lin Qi channeled his true energy in his right hand and sent the pot of elixir to the porcelain plate in his left hand.
I saw eleven round pills falling down and rolling on the porcelain plate.
"Seven are low-grade, three are medium-grade, and one is top-grade, my God!"
Bu Jinshui's eyes bulged and he screamed.
He picked up the high-quality elixir, looked at it carefully, smelled it and gnawed it, and finally swallowed it in one gulp.
He closed his eyes slightly to feel the power of the medicine, and then praised: "It is indeed top-notch! You refined the top-grade elixir for the first time, even the simplest blood-activating pill, which proves your talent. Why did you come here?"
Make alchemy!"
Bu Jinshui had a look of regret on his face, he only regretted that Xue Long came too late, otherwise he would have become a famous alchemist of Tianhuo Sect long ago.
Lin Qi smiled and said: "It's not too late now. Brother Bu, I think this alchemy is quite simple. Can I challenge more advanced elixirs?"
Bu Jinshui nodded and said: "Okay, we have refined the high-quality elixir, so it is definitely possible! Next, I will get you the ingredients for the blood-tonifying elixir. This is a first-class middle-grade elixir. This time I will mix it with
As for other medicinal materials, you need to learn to identify them. Do you know the recipe for blood-tonifying pills?"
"Know."
"Okay, then you continue to refine the blood-activating pills to familiarize yourself with the steps of alchemy. I'll come as soon as I go."
Bu Jinshui gave instructions and left here immediately. He was acting vigorously and vigorously, even more excited than Lin Qi.
Lin Qi saw that he had left and there was no monitoring formation in the alchemy room, so he used all his skills and used all kinds of fancy alchemy techniques.
Anyway, he has strong mental power, is assisted by the Fire Forging Technique, and is refining the most common elixir, such as the Blood-activating Pill, so it's really effortless.
Taking advantage of the absence of Bu Jinshui, all the remaining medicinal materials were used to practice and make alchemy as fast as possible.
In less than a moment, the whole room was filled with the scent of medicine.
The potions of elixirs are like dropping beans, filling one bottle after another.
Before Bu Jinshui returned, Lin Qi had already refined all the remaining ninety-nine medicinal materials and obtained more than a thousand blood-activating pills.
Under normal circumstances, putting ten pills in one bottle is equivalent to having one hundred bottles.
Although it is the most common blood-activating pill, even if ten bottles are exchanged for one contribution point, it is still ten contribution points and cannot be wasted.
Calculating how long it took, I actually earned at least ten contribution points.
Alchemist is indeed a money-making profession.
The most ordinary and the worst alchemist who can refine blood-activating pills, no matter how slow the refining process is, he should have no problem earning a little contribution a day.
And his speed is much faster than them.
When you break through to a second-level alchemy master, won't your contribution points keep rolling in?
Lin Qi couldn't help but look forward to Bu Jinshui, and felt like the seconds were counting.
Finally, Bu Jinshui came running with the sack on his shoulders. He opened the door and saw Lin Qi sitting upright to relax. He couldn't help but be surprised: "Why don't you make elixirs? Hey, the medicinal materials are all gone."
Lin Qi said: "I have collected all the medicinal materials. I have completely mastered this blood-activating pill after refining it for a few times. I feel that it has not improved no matter how much I refine it, so I just close my eyes and rest, waiting to refine a more advanced elixir.
.”
"Put it away?"
Bu Jinshui was surprised and envious. There was nothing special about the other party, not even a cloth bag. The reason why he put away the medicinal materials must be because he had a magic weapon for storage.
As expected of a talented disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall, he has a lot of money and water. This storage magic weapon was most likely obtained from some disciples who committed crimes.
Bu Jinshui, as the deacon of Danding Peak, has lived for so many years without having a magic weapon to store. It can be said that he has spent his old age like a dog.
There really is no comparison between people.
Fortunately, I picked up the treasure Xue Long. After his alchemy level improves, I can get rewards from the sect. Not only can I be promoted to the elder position, but I may also be given a magical treasure as a gift.
Just thinking about it makes me a little excited!
So he didn't care what Lin Qi did with the medicinal materials, and went straight to the point. He put the sack on the ground and said: "Xue Long, you can refine the first-class blood-activating pills. You are already a first-level low-grade alchemist. Now proceed.
The second stage is to refine the blood-enhancing pill!"
