Four hundred and seventy-seventh - four hundred and seventy-eighth chapter Dan furnace
Chapter 477-478 Alchemy Furnace
Regarding the use of the alchemy furnace, it is naturally impossible not to mention it in this [General Guide to Alchemy]. Luo Yi doesn't know what the main body of this 'mysterious' top-grade alchemy furnace will look like after being restored, and how it should be used to make alchemy.
.But the methods used for each alchemy mouth are not much different from ordinary alchemy furnaces. And the use of alchemy furnaces in the [General Guide to Alchemy] is also very clearly recorded. You only need to figure it out a little.
It was hard for Luo Yi.
Luo Yi put down the medicine bag in his hand, then walked forward and observed it carefully.
This tripod-shaped black vessel is about as tall as a person, and it is completely covered by a large dragon head. The dragon head is covered with a series of extremely fine scales, which looks simple and mysterious, as if it has some kind of wonderful power.
It circulates generally on top.
"The arrangement of the scales seems to be some kind of formation?..."
After Luo Yi observed it for a while, he suddenly felt a little surprised.
Those scales seem to be arranged in disorder, but if you observe carefully, you can detect the law of the formation flowing among them. Although Luo Yi does not understand the formation, after all, his consciousness is placed in this
Place. If you pay a little attention, you won't be able to stop him.
"Well, this should be a formation used to lock in temperature..."
Luo Yi observed carefully and had some guesses in his mind.
This faucet-shaped thing should be a valve. The two dragon whiskers on the faucet tightly close the valve. On both sides of the dragon whiskers, there is a protrusion, about the size of a human head. Judging from the appearance, it should be
active.
Above the faucet, there are four air holes connected in a row. There is darkness inside the air holes, making it difficult to see clearly.
After Luo Yi observed for a moment, he reached out and pressed the two protrusions at the same time...
With a little effort, there was only a "click" sound, and the protruding object was immediately pressed down. Then, only a "crack" sound was heard, and the container, which was as tall as a person, was immediately opened!
Luo Yi's eyes lit up and he immediately saw what was going on inside...
What appeared behind the dragon-shaped valve was a red rippling formation. And inside, there was a very empty space with nothing. At the bottom of the vessel, there was darkness.
, and now, there is no flame at all.
After Luo Yi looked at it for a while, he nodded slightly.
"Well, judging from the power of the formation, the sealing and heat resistance of this alchemy furnace must be good. And judging from the direction of the formation, they are all concentrated around the four holes on it... It seems that this should
It’s used to control heat and refrigeration…”
The structure of the alchemy furnace is not complex, on the contrary, it is extremely simple.
To put it simply, it is a container, a formation used to seal the temperature, and four formation eyes used to control the fire...that's all.
Luo Yi nodded with satisfaction. He had written down the entire "General Guide to Alchemy" and he knew clearly that the structure of the alchemy furnace was never complicated. What was complicated was the process of alchemy. In this process, when should the furnace be put into the furnace?
What temperature should be used for refining after entering the furnace? When should the second medicinal material be added? To what extent must the two medicinal materials be separately refined before they can be fused? After fusion, how long should it take to cool down and become a pill?…
This is what really needs to be considered in the process of alchemy.
A good alchemy furnace only needs three points.
Good heat resistance, good sealing, and good heat control!...If you achieve these three points, you can call it a good alchemy furnace.
Good heat resistance, this does not seem to need to be explained too much. I don’t know how many alchemists once refined the elixir. Because the heat resistance of the elixir furnace was not good, the refined elixir did not melt, but instead
The elixir furnace itself melted because it could not withstand the high temperature, resulting in a failure... The elixir is not Chinese cabbage. Some of the cold or hot elixirs have better heat resistance than most refined iron.
Horrible!… One can imagine the importance of the heat resistance of a pill furnace.
Good sealing ensures the effectiveness of the medicine. In high temperatures, everything is extremely volatile. If there is even a slight flaw in this process, the elixir you have worked so hard to refine may become
Because the sealing is not good enough, it will evaporate directly, leaving you with a furnace of black carbon and fly ash...
The temperature control is to ensure that it is not overdone, but it is also not ineffective... Some elixirs must be refined at a certain temperature for a period of time. But this time should not be too long, but it should not be too short either... and
At this time, the importance of flame control is naturally reflected.
As for the last-minute preparation of the elixir, if the refined elixir cannot be refrigerated and formed instantly to block its medicinal properties... the quality of the elixir will inevitably be affected, or even fail...
Therefore, a good alchemy furnace can increase the success rate during the alchemy process, which is not pointless.
And now the alchemy furnace in front of Luo Yi obviously has nothing to say in this regard. It is not difficult to see from the material of the vessel and the formation of the scales on it... No matter from which angle you consider it, this alchemy furnace is
Top quality!…
"If this entire 'Xuan-level' top-quality pill furnace were turned into its original form for refining pills... I wonder what it would look like?"
Luo Yi was thinking curiously at this time.
However, this thought only passed away for a moment, and he shook his head and ignored it.
He turned around and opened the medicine bag placed aside. After pondering for a while, he took out two medicinal plants. While looking at the grass in his hand, he casually sat on the futon in front of the alchemy furnace.
superior…
Today, he asked Li Pengyuan for a total of three elixir materials. They were 'Lone Spirit Pill', 'Fuqi Powder', and 'Sanqing Pill'. The refining materials for each elixir were thirty parts.
A total of ninety copies.
Although these three elixirs have not entered the high-grade level, and their medicinal properties are not high...but because the refining methods of these three elixirs are extremely simple, their materials are not difficult to find, and their practicability is not low, so users, here
There are also many in the innate world.
And now Luo Yi's purpose for asking for these ninety materials is naturally not that he really lacks these three elixirs and wants to use them... His purpose is to practice it and feel how the real refining of elixirs is different from the theory.
, how big a difference is there.
Ninety materials, ninety opportunities.
Strictly speaking, for an alchemist, ninety practice opportunities are really not too many. Any alchemist who can guarantee the success rate has not been able to truly practice alchemy thousands of times.
to bring his success rate to a certain level?
However, compared to them, Luo Yi has his own advantages.
And this advantage is the [Forbidden Refining] technique and the [General Guide to Alchemy].
Most of the elixir prescriptions recorded in the "General Guide to Alchemy" are extremely detailed. Among them, there are even precise descriptions of how to do it in conjunction with the "Forbidden Alchemy" technique! The precise and detailed steps are simply breathtaking!
It can be said that... as long as you are not an idiot and follow these steps, you can ensure that the success rate of alchemy is as high as 50 to 60%!...
Strictly speaking, this method is close to cheating. If you make an elixir according to the above, even if the success rate is really as high as 150% or 60%, you cannot be considered a real elixir master.
However, becoming a true alchemy master is still a bit far away for Luo Yi now.
What he wants to do now is just to confirm the correctness of those elixir recipes, and then experience what it is like to really make alchemy, and then rely on this alchemy technique that is almost cheating to get what he wants...
That's all.
Ninety opportunities to practice his hands were, in fact, too many for him.
The agreement he made with Li Pengyuan was six days. But in fact, it didn't take that long at all. The reason why he did this was to leave some leeway for himself.
"'Clover', 'Blue Root Flower'... Well, the quality is good, it looks like it should be four or five years old..."
Sitting on the futon, Luo Yi looked at the two elixirs in his hands. After putting them to his nose and sniffing them, Luo Yi showed a smile and murmured slightly.
This is the material used to make "Sanqing Pills". Among them, "Clover" is the main ingredient and "Blue Root Flower" is the supplement. There is no introduction of medicine.
‘Clover’ is a plant that likes shade and coldness, and mostly blooms in cooler and dark places in the north. Its stems usually have leaves but no flowers, and the leaves only have three leaves, hence the name. Its medicinal properties are cold.
'Blue Root Flower' is a plant with a mild temperament. It is widely blooming in the south, but it is not too hot. Because its roots are usually dark blue, it is named 'Blue Root'. Its medicinal properties are neutral.
, neither cold nor dry.
If someone takes 'Clover' directly, the chill contained in its body is like a cold poison. A weaker person, such as an acquired warrior, might be frozen on the spot. And if someone takes 'Blue Root Flower' directly... Although
There is no cold or heat poison that can harm your life, but you are just eating a non-toxic bitter grass, which will not have much benefit to the human body.
However, when the two things in Hanyi came together...'Sanqing Pill' appeared.
This is a kind of effect on spiritual consciousness, which can help people clear their mind and break through confusion!
And this is the magic of alchemy. As an alchemist, what you have to do... is to refine these two plants into a liquid. Then fuse them together, cool them instantly, and then turn them into an elixir...
It sounds simple, but in fact it is not easy. Because if there is even the slightest mistake in the process, it will lead to failure...
"'Sanqing Pill', a non-grade elixir. Required items, ten grams of 'Clover', seven grams of 'Blue Root Grass'. Refining method, 'Clover', the medicine is cold and has low heat resistance. Refined on low fire
The preparation lasts for a quarter of an hour, and it can be melted into a liquid. 'Blue Root Grass' is a neutral medicine and has low heat resistance. It can be melted into a liquid in half a quarter of an hour after being refined over low fire... Therefore, 'Clover' is put into the furnace first, and half of it can be melted into a liquid.
A quarter of an hour later, the 'blue root grass' is put into the furnace. In another half an hour, the liquids are mixed and instantly frozen, and the elixir is completed."
Luo Yi, who was sitting on the futon, thought of the records in the "General Guide to Alchemy" in his mind.
