- #20 - Chapter 20 The first time to make alchemy
At this time, Long Xuan had no idea that he was being ridiculed. What was being ridiculed was the idea that he was most proud of.
Seeing how stubborn this little medicine boy was, he stopped trying to persuade him.
“You can exchange it for my Little Strong Gu, but my Little Strong Gu is no longer worth ten thousand spirit stones.”
“Let’s do this, give me ten of each type of waste elixir, and it will be considered as making up for the difference.”
The little medicine boy nodded, not to mention giving him a trivial useless elixir, he would still rush for it even if he was asked to pay for another hundred thousand spirit stones.
“It seems that you really don’t have the ability to turn waste elixirs into treasures, otherwise you would catch all my waste elixirs in one go, instead of just ten of each type.”
The little medicine boy smiled and picked up some of the waste elixirs, then took out a green three-legged alchemy furnace from the storage bag, threw all the waste elixirs into the alchemy furnace, and handed them to Long Xuan.
Long Xuan glanced at him sideways, then took out a vial containing a small powerful Gu from his breeding bag and threw it at the little medicine boy.
The little medicine boy happily took the vial. After checking the authenticity of the blood contract on the spot, he quickly started to close the stall.
The waste elixirs now are all treasures to him, and only a fool would sell them.
At this time, the scar-faced strong man who was arguing with the little medicine boy was dumbfounded. He didn’t expect that someone actually wanted this useless elixir. It’s such a big world and there are so many wonders. It’s damning.
Just as Long Xuan was about to leave, he immediately stopped in front and said hurriedly: “Little friend, stay here. I also want to trade Xiaoqiang Gu. I am willing to trade with the elixir.”
“I personally picked these from the mountains, you can choose whatever you want.”
He immediately threw a storage bag at Long Xuan with a flattering smile, fearing that he would run away.
Long Xuan looked at his appearance and knew that this person must be very fond of Xiaoqiang Gu.
With a body full of tendons and scars all over his face, he looks like a master who likes to fight with his body. Injuries have become a common occurrence and he is often on the verge of death. So the little powerful Gu will definitely become the favorite of this kind of people.
The cost of Little Strong Gu is too low, and he still has a lot of them in his breeding bag.
So he casually took the strong man’s storage bag and checked it out, and found that it was full of various types of elixirs.
Coincidentally, the three elixirs he was looking for were all among them, and there were quite a lot of them. This was really hard to find, and it took no effort to get them.
Long Xuan showed joy on his face, and then poured all the elixirs in the storage bag into his own storage bag. There was not a single elixir left. Then he threw the empty storage bag towards the strong man and followed him. At the end is a vial containing a small strong poison.
…
It was already late at night when Long Xuan came back from Fangshi. There were quite a few people who wanted to trade Little Strong Gu with him, and poor casual cultivators liked to bargain, so they were delayed.
However, the harvest was gratifying. He had used up his small treasury in refining the Eye of Heaven. This time he shot a batch of small powerful Gu, and finally got a lot of blood back.
He could finally see that the new project Ice Divine Flame was definitely a resource hog. If he really wanted to refine the Ice Divine Flame, the materials consumed would probably be astronomical. He had to save spiritual stones as soon as possible to prepare in advance.
Although it was already late at night, the materials for refining the Hundred Flowers Pill were ready. Everything was ready and all that was needed was the east wind. Now you can try to make the pill for the first time.
Now he is completely excited and his heart is itching. How can he fall asleep without practicing the elixir once?
So Long Xuan decisively took out the alchemy furnace and placed it on the ground, and began to try to make alchemy for the first time in his life.
Through constant observation of Mr. Long, he may not be able to practice other elixirs, but he has completely mastered the Baihua Dan.
Baihua Dan requires a hundred spiritual flowers as raw materials. With such a huge amount of materials, the elixir produced is naturally extraordinary, and the potency of the medicine is definitely first-rate without even thinking about it.
Long Xuan followed the method stolen from Mr. Long and mobilized the dual attributes of fire and wood. Wood was at the bottom and fire was at the top, and a wisp of flame was emitted from the palm of his hand.
To become an alchemist, you must meet three requirements. First, you must have the two attributes of fire and wood. Second, you must have a strong innate soul. Third, you must have precise enough control over the fire spiritual power.
These three restrictions are enough to block the vast majority of people in this world from the threshold of alchemy. There is absolutely no one who has the qualifications of an alchemist.
Such harsh conditions are also the reason why alchemists are extremely rare in this world, and also create their extremely noble status.
Long Xuan certainly meets these requirements, and goes far beyond them.
His cultivation aptitude is extremely poor, but his alchemy aptitude is definitely considered a genius.
When God closes a door, he often opens a window for you.
Of course, Long Xuan’s current soul is not strong enough to hold up the alchemy furnace, so he can only slowly place the alchemy furnace on the ground.
Then he controlled the flame in his palm to fly up, and under the control of his soul power, it landed at the bottom of the alchemy furnace and began to warm up.
The first step in refining elixirs is to use high temperatures to remove impurities from the elixir, extracting its essence and discarding its dross.
Most of the substances in the elixir are useless, and the alchemist needs to have extremely high control over the flame to burn away the impurities while leaving only the essence of the elixir.
It is extremely difficult to achieve this step. If the temperature is low, the impurities will liquefy and completely merge with the essence. If the temperature is high, the impurities and essence will be burned together. It is even more difficult to burn the impurities without burning the essence.
What’s even more exaggerated is that even if different elixirs require different temperatures, there will be slight differences in the same elixir. The same elixir also needs to constantly change the temperature in different time periods. This is simply fun. .
Just this first step stumps most alchemists, and there are very few people who can complete this step.
Even the experienced Elder Long would often burn the elixir when refining it, wasting a precious elixir in vain.
Therefore, Long Xuan was deeply aware of the difficulty of this step, and decided to be careful and cautious, focusing all his attention without any slack.
After he adjusted his condition, he saw that the alchemy furnace was already warm, so he casually grabbed an elixir and threw it into the alchemy furnace.
But just as he was about to turn up the heat, something shocking happened.
The purification progress is actually displayed on the alchemy furnace, and the progress at this time is 0%.
Long Xuan took a deep breath, a little unbelievable.
Only then did he realize that a similar situation had occurred when he was refining Gu for the first time.
The progress shown by the golden finger seems to be not only limited to dead and living things, but also includes something that is being done.
For example, if you are refining Gu, then the progress of refining Gu will be displayed. If you are purifying elixir, then the progress of purification will also be displayed, including the last step of alchemy refining later, which will probably also display the progress of alchemy.
As a result, the upper limit of Golden Finger was going to be raised again, and Long Xuan was extremely excited.
Therefore, the purification step that is extremely difficult to complete in the eyes of others has changed in Long Xuan’s case.
He can clearly see the progress of the purification. If the progress is rising steadily, it proves that his operation is correct and he can just work hard to maintain it.
Once the progress suddenly changes drastically or even disappears, it proves that his operation is wrong and the heat must be adjusted as soon as possible.
Since there is an error message, isn’t it easy for Longxuan to purify the elixir?
What happened next was without any surprises.
Things that are extremely difficult in the eyes of others are extremely simple in Long Xuan’s eyes.
As a novice, he refined elixir for the first time. Not only did he make no mistakes, but he succeeded easily. Can you believe this?
If other alchemy apprentices knew about it, they might not know how they would feel.
Looking at the elixir essence that he put into the medicine bottle, Long Xuan was in a daze, as if he was dreaming.
That’s it?
