Chapter 146: Alchemy Competition
No matter where they are, people with ability and strength can always easily gain people's awe. Even in the world of elixirs, there is no change at all.
Du Bin also nodded and agreed.
Also coming with Gao Zheng were a group of alchemists from the Miancheng Alchemy Supervision Bureau, including Gao Zheng, a total of eight people. It can be seen from the badges on the chest that most of them are quasi-masters, and there are two others and Du Bin
They are all master level, only Gao Zheng wears the Grand Master level badge.
Shinan called a few workers and moved eight chairs so that the eight people from the Dan Supervision Bureau could sit on the podium and watch.
After sitting down, Gao Zheng looked at his watch and shouted: "Let's start!"
The moment Gao Zheng gave the order, he breathed out the turbid air that was hovering in his chest. With a flick of his hand, the red flame was thrown into the alchemy cauldron.
Du Bin was not to be outdone. With a move of his hand, a slightly primitive green-red cauldron with a hint of deep aura appeared on the operating table.
Hearing the sound of the cauldron falling on the operating table, Heather tilted her head and looked at it, frowning slightly. The quality of the cauldron used by Du Bin obviously exceeded that of the Danxin Cauldron used by Heather.
"Tsk, tsk, Du Bin, a stingy old guy, can actually take out the Green Lotus Cauldron. This is a fifth-level alchemy cauldron. I remember that there were several master-level alchemists who fought for it. I didn't expect that it would end up in the end.
It's in the hands of Du Bin." Looking at the blue-red cauldron summoned by Du Bin, Gao Zheng smiled in surprise.
A master-level alchemist pointed in the direction of Heather and said with a smile: "This Heather's moves are also extraordinary. That Alchemy Cauldron is the treasure of Alchemy God Ye Hai. Although it is only a fourth-level Alchemy Cauldron, its origin is extraordinary.
Know how he got it from that cunning guy Ye Hai."
In the world of elixir refining, a good alchemy cauldron is of great help to the alchemist. It can also significantly increase the success rate when refining elixirs. Moreover, some low-quality alchemy cauldrons cannot withstand heat.
If it is very high, the furnace may suddenly explode when refining the elixir...
Therefore, alchemy cauldrons are also divided into quite fine levels, from the first to the ninth level, from low to high. The ninth-level alchemy cauldron is also called the 'Heavenly Cauldron'. There are no alchemy cauldrons of this level that exist in the world.
There are only thirteen. From this we can see how precious its value is, and the purple flame cauldron that Heather obtained from the system has only just reached the sixth level.
There are differences between the alchemy cauldron and the large alchemy furnace. The first is the material problem. The alchemy cauldron is compact and the materials used can be stronger. However, if a large alchemy furnace needs to be made with a large amount of high-strength materials, the materials required are a bit scary.
.
Each gram of fourth-level materials is worth 500 Chinese coins. The Danxin Cauldron currently used by Heather is one kilogram. The value of the materials alone is 500,000 Chinese coins, not counting the cost of making the Danxin cauldron.
Suppose a large alchemy furnace with a height of three meters and a diameter of two meters weighs one ton and is made of fourth-level materials...
In fact, the automatic alchemy furnace that Di Lanqi made for Heather was also one of the most expensive instruments. The whole thing was modified from an ordinary large-scale alchemy furnace. As for the materials, it was an ordinary alchemy furnace with a layer of coating added.
The high-temperature furnaces in steel plants can also withstand high temperatures of 2,000 degrees. However, this can easily meet the needs of daily alchemy.
Then there are the differences in the refining techniques.
Because the alchemy cauldron is small, the amount of medicinal materials put into it is small, the flame is easy to control, and the pressure inside the alchemy cauldron is relatively high. Therefore, it is more convenient to operate when refining alchemy. As long as the method is correct, it is easier to refine high-quality elixirs.
A large alchemy furnace can refine multiple elixirs at one time, so the flame control needs to be stronger, and the pressure in the furnace is not easy to control. Therefore, the operation of elixir refining is complicated and suitable for mass production, but the quality of the elixirs is low.
However, these problems have been solved by Heather when designing the automatic alchemy furnace. As long as it is run according to the program, it will be able to successfully refine the best elixir. If it is controlled manually, even if it is refined according to the Heather recipe, as long as there is a slight error, then this
The furnace pill is useless.
"Well, it is indeed the "Alchemy Cauldron..." Gao Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "Ye Hai used it to win the World Youth Alchemy Championship in one fell swoop. I heard that Ye Hai had already given this Alchemy Cauldron to him.
I gave birth to my own daughter Ye Bier, and I didn’t expect to see such a treasure here.”
Shinan always thought that the Danxinding was given to him by Yin Kang, but in fact it was Ye Bier who secretly gave it to Yin Kang and asked him to transfer it to Shinan. She also specifically told Yin Kang not to reveal the matter.
Heather was warming up the Danxin Cauldron. At this moment, a light brown flame rose from Du Bin's hand. If you look closely, you will find that there are strange bubbles on the flame, which looks extremely magical.
"Eh? This flame... is it the beast fire of the Brimstone Wolf?" Looking at the light brown flame summoned by Du Bin, a master alchemist asked curiously.
Hearing this, Gao Zheng seemed to have remembered something, and turned around and said in surprise: "I didn't expect that this Du Bin is really not that simple. He can conquer the beast fire of the fifth-level demon beast Flame Wolf. I have never seen him use it before.
It’s related to the fact that he recently followed the hunting team to the area where monsters are concentrated.”
Shinan suddenly chuckled, slowly raised his palm, flicked his fingers, and a red flame suddenly flashed up. In an instant, the temperature of the alchemy room suddenly increased. At this time, Du Bin's hands were filled with various joyful and jumping objects.
The flame, for some unknown reason, quietly withered a lot...
What’s even more surprising is that the outer flame of the sulfur wolf’s animal fire points to the location of the red flame, as if it is worshiping the king...
"Suppression by law?" Everyone watching on the podium was stunned, and some even exclaimed.
The unknown flame of the heather was obviously of a much higher grade than the beast fire of the sulfur wolf.
"Hmph, what's the use of having a light flame? If you can't control it, you will end up playing with fire and burning yourself." Du Bin sneered in a low voice as he poured the light brown flame in his hand into the alchemy cauldron.
Heather stared closely at the alchemy cauldron, and occasionally waved her palms to throw one or two medicinal herbs on the operating table into the alchemy cauldron. Then she controlled the temperature of the flame and followed the method recorded in the Hundred Solutions to Alchemy.
Slowly refining the essence needed for refining the elixir.
Although he had an extremely precise prescription in his mind, Heather did not dare to be careless at all. Although he had the ability to control red flames, he still did not dare to throw out all the medicinal materials in a swarm. Instead, he chose to refine two medicinal materials at a time.
This is safer.
At this moment, Du Bin also had a solemn expression, carefully controlling the heat and carefully refining each medicinal ingredient.
Both of them knew that at this moment, any mistake would have to start all over again. Everyone in the alchemy room remained silent, and only the soft crackling sound of the flames refining the medicinal materials echoed in the alchemy room.
.
Under the influence of this quiet atmosphere, the originally noisy podium gradually became quieter. All eyes were fixed on the two people in front of the operating table below.
Heather looked at the alchemy cauldron intently, occasionally throwing in a medicinal plant with her left hand, but her right hand quickly controlled her spiritual power to wrap the refined material in the alchemy cauldron with her spiritual power and move it aside for later use.
As he was so busy, a little sweat gradually appeared on Heather's forehead. Without wiping it off, he put the last medicinal plant on the operating table into the alchemy cauldron. A minute later, he carefully poured out the last one.
The extracted materials are wrapped in spiritual power.
Seeing how smoothly the refining process went, Heather finally breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and looked around, and was a little surprised to find that Du Bin hadn't finished refining yet.
Shaking his head slightly, Shi Nan rested for a while, then started the next step of melting the elixir with a solemn expression.
Red flames rose slowly in the alchemy cauldron. Heather's eyes stared closely at the rising flames. After a moment, his hands suddenly started to dance. He had previously refined the spare essence materials and fused them together in an orderly manner.
The flames suddenly surged up and swallowed up the materials instantly...
His eyes were slightly closed, and the surging mental power spread out from the center of Heather's eyebrows. At this moment, the mental power was almost pouring out, and every subtle reaction of the material fusion in the alchemy cauldron was instantly returned to his mind.
Then use it to quickly compare with the methods in "Elixirs of Medicine" to judge the direction of elixir refining. Once there is a difference in response, immediately control the spiritual power to adjust it bit by bit.
When Heather started to melt the elixir, Du Bin also finished refining the materials. Without any rest or nonsense, he immediately put the refined materials into the elixir.
"Can you tell which of the elixirs they refined is of higher quality?" A master alchemist sitting next to Gao Zheng looked at the two of them and asked in a low voice.
"Not yet..." Shaking his head, Gao Zheng mused: "But before the elixir is about to be taken, we can still see some clues. The higher the quality of the elixir, the stronger the fragrance of the elixir before it is formed.
It means that the elixir he refined is of higher quality. When the top-quality elixir is formed, it will produce substantial energy ripples out of thin air because it contains too much energy..."
About half an hour later, Gao Zheng's color suddenly changed, and a touch of joy appeared on his face. He looked in the direction of Heather. In the red-burned cauldron, a faint fragrance of red pepper was slowly spreading out.
.
"This little guy is going to become an elixir so soon? His flames are really extraordinary!"
The faint medicinal fragrance that penetrated the heather elixir cauldron was also noticed by Du Bin, who was not far away from him. After taking a few sips of the elixir fragrance, Du Bin sneered disdainfully.
According to the concentration of this elixir, it is indeed not as good as the quality of the elixir refined by Du Bin this time. It can be considered as a third-level high-quality elixir at most, which is still far away from the best.
