Chapter 479-480 The Difficulty of Refining Alchemy!
Qinghui gave Luo Yi a copy of the refining methods of these three elixirs. However, they are also recorded in the [General Guide to Alchemy].
The above-mentioned alchemy method is recorded in the [General Guide to Alchemy]. Among the elixir prescriptions given by Qinghui, there are actually only "Sanqing Pills, a non-grade elixir. Items required are ten grams of 'Clover', 'Blue
"Seven grams of root flower." There is no subsequent explanation of the pharmacological properties and refining steps!
Just from this simple elixir recipe, you can clearly see how big the difference is between the elixirs of [Luo Jian Sect] and [Qi Huang Sect], right?
And this is just a recipe for a non-grade elixir.
The refining complexity of truly high-level elixirs is countless times higher than that of the 'Sanqing Pill'! Their pharmacological properties are even more complicated, and the heat resistance of various elixirs is different, and sometimes even
It requires a sudden explosion of fire, a sudden refining of small fire, and it also needs to peel off impurities and drive out poisonous substances...the complexity is so complex that it gives people a headache just to imagine it.
Relying on a simple 'prescription', just telling you what you need, and then exploring on your own... How difficult is it to truly succeed?
In [General Guide to Alchemy], the entire process of alchemy is completely recorded in the most concise words. The medicinal properties, heat resistance, refining time, order of putting into the furnace, stripping off impurities, and even
Including the [Forbidden Refining] technique and when to use which seals... everything is recorded!
Why can the "General Guide to Alchemy" combined with the "Forbidden Alchemy" technique increase the success rate to a terrifying fifty to sixty percent?...This is not without reason.
Luo Yi shook his head with emotion, and then stopped thinking about it. His eyes focused on the alchemy furnace again.
"But how to start a fire, control it, and cool it down, you have to be familiar with it first..."
Thinking about it, Luo Yi's brows jumped slightly, and a trace of consciousness slowly came out, towards the alchemy furnace...
In fact, the structure of the 'Alchemy Furnace' is extremely simple, and its manipulation method is naturally not that difficult. The most difficult thing is to grasp the time and the control of the fire. After all, these two things need people to control. Even if
Even if there are detailed step-by-step instructions, it still needs to be experienced over and over again.
When Luo Yi's consciousness touched the first small hole from the left above the alchemy furnace, he heard a buzzing sound, and then, an extremely hot breath suddenly swarmed from the bottom of the alchemy furnace.
And come out! In just an instant, the entire inside of the alchemy furnace was suddenly filled with a flame, and it even wanted to rush out of the alchemy furnace.
At this time, the red barrier that originally existed and covered the entire portal of the alchemy furnace suddenly brightened up. All the flames were blocked back without leaking! ... The outside of the entire alchemy furnace also lit up.
Red awn!
"Start the stove..."
Luo Yi's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly understood what was happening in front of him.
In fact, there is a certain way to "start the furnace". If you use other alchemy furnaces and there is no fire source, you must first introduce the fire source into the alchemy furnace, and then you must "close the furnace" and "warm the furnace"
, only then can the real "fire" begin.
‘Sealing the furnace’, as the name suggests, is to completely seal the flame inside the alchemy furnace. The main purpose is to check whether the sealing of the alchemy furnace meets the requirements for alchemy.
The purpose of the 'warming furnace' is to ensure that there is sufficient temperature in the alchemy furnace and that it can be maintained at a relatively stable stage...
However, what Luo Yi is using now is the 'Xuan level' top-grade alchemy furnace from [Luo Jian Sect]. This alchemy furnace is directly connected to the fire in the core of the earth that is unknown how deep underground. The steps of introducing the fire source can be saved. And in
On top of this alchemy furnace, there is a ready-made formation protection, which can also save the process of sealing the furnace.
It just seems that the alchemy furnace where Luo Yi is currently is not often used, so although the fire is started, the appearance of the alchemy furnace is still slightly black. Therefore, the alchemy furnace needs to be warmed for a while...
Luo Yi quietly looked at the flames in the alchemy furnace. Gradually, he noticed that the temperature of the surrounding space was gradually getting higher. The red glow of the originally dark alchemy furnace with only a hint of red became more and more intense.
It's getting brighter...
"The other three holes should be used to control the fire intensity of small fire, medium fire and high fire respectively..."
Luo Yi thought to himself and continued to try to manipulate.
His consciousness is very powerful. Speaking of this, I have to mention...
The divine consciousness in Luo Yi's sea of consciousness is as vast as the sea. Although the one-time usage is restricted by some kind of power, it cannot exceed the maximum usage of his current level. However, his durability,
But it is definitely extremely tyrannical.
What is most needed for alchemy is the stability of spiritual consciousness. Because whether it is the manipulation of flames, controlling the fusion of several elixirs, and stripping away impurities... all require spiritual consciousness to complete. And in this process, as long as any trace of it appears,
Fluctuations may lead to the failure of the entire alchemy. Many alchemists have a low success rate, and this is actually where they fail.
Therefore, many times, those high-level alchemists only refine the elixir once a day, or even for more than ten days, or a month. This is because the process of elixir refining is extremely consuming of mental energy and consciousness. Ordinary people simply cannot bear it.
This kind of consumption.
As for Luo Yi, he doesn't have to worry about this happening. As long as he accumulates enough experience, it is not impossible to increase the success rate of alchemy to more than **10%...
Of course, this premise is that the total number of elixirs he refined is still within the control range of his divine consciousness...
Now, I could see that the flames inside the alchemy furnace were jumping suddenly and suddenly with Luo Yi's spiritual consciousness deliberately fluctuating. When the flames were large, the entire alchemy furnace suddenly became brighter.
When I was young, I could only see a small flame beating slowly at the bottom...it felt very handy.
This process actually lasted for a very long time.
"It's almost done... let's try it first..."
Luo Yi thought in his mind, and then lowered his head and looked at the 'Clover' and 'Blue Root Flower' on the side. After a moment, he took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly became calm and focused...
His heart moved slightly, and he saw that the 'Clover' beside him was automatically suspended. Then, it slowly moved to the red barrier on the alchemy furnace, and then...
A sudden stab!...In an instant without any hindrance, he penetrated into the red barrier and entered the alchemy furnace!
At the same time, Luo Yi's thoughts moved again, and the flame inside the alchemy furnace suddenly turned into a handful of small flames...
Under the control of Luo Yi's consciousness, the 'shamrock' was suspended entirely inside the alchemy furnace, slowly baking on top of the small handful of flames...
If it is an ordinary leaf, if it is baked on a flame, it will dry up immediately. It is naturally impossible to turn into any water or liquid...
However, spiritual herbs that can be used as alchemy are naturally different from ordinary plants.
I saw that as time went by, drops of crystal liquid gradually appeared on the 'clover'... hanging on the leaves gave people a feeling of emerald green...
Time passed by half a quarter of an hour later...
“‘Blue Root Flower’!…”
Luo Yi frowned, and another spiritual consciousness suddenly emerged from the center of his eyebrows. In an instant, he took the 'Blue Root Flower' beside him and directly got into the alchemy furnace!
The moment the 'Blue Root Flower' penetrated, another small flame appeared next to the small flame that was baking the 'Clover'. The 'Blue Root Flower' was suddenly suspended in the air under the wrap of spiritual consciousness.
On top of the small flame, it was rotated and refined.
However, at this moment, the temperature of the alchemy furnace suddenly increased a bit...
'hiss'!…
Only a tiny sound was heard, and the 'Clover' that was already dripping liquid and the 'Blue Root Flower' that had just been baked turned into fly ash in an instant...
"Um?"
Luo Yi was stunned for a moment...
"This is…"
He didn't come back to his senses.
After a full moment, he suddenly realized: "Could it be... that the small fire that appeared later caused the temperature of the alchemy furnace to increase momentarily, exceeding the burning point of these two things in an instant, causing them to be destroyed?"
Luo Yi suddenly had such a realization in his heart, and then he took a breath...
"The slightest change in temperature can cause the entire alchemy to fail?... Isn't this alchemy too delicate?..."
The first time he made alchemy ended in failure. After Luo Yi summed up his experience, he came to a result that made him sigh with emotion...
This alchemy is so delicate...
After a long time, he just exhaled, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It seems that I was right to fight for six days..."
Luo Yi shook his head. Then he took a deep breath and stared slightly.
"Come again!"
The medicine bag next to Luo Yi opened automatically, and all the materials inside were poured out...
In this way, Luo Yi began his alchemy experience...
Time passed quietly...
One day later…
"Finally it worked!"
Luo Yi lowered his head and looked at a pill in his hand that was still a little warm, with an emotional smile in his eyes...
"Alchemy is indeed a delicate job...the sudden drop in temperature, the slight difference in time, the faster or slower fusion, the timing of refrigeration...if there is even the slightest mistake, it will immediately fail!...No wonder those alchemists are successful.
The rate can only reach 112%. It turns out that it is not without reason."
Luo Yi shook his head.
Theory is theory, and for the first time in real practice, Luo Yi really felt the difficulty of alchemy.
On this day, he used a total of twenty-three ingredients to truly refine a 'Sanqing Pill'!... If we talk about the success rate, I'm afraid it's just over a few percent... Its difficulty is,
