Chapter 97: The Worst Dali Dan(1/3)
"Are you sure this will work?"
A fire was burning under the seven-mouth casserole, and some of the medicinal materials in the pot were boiled into a paste, while part of them remained as they were.
Yu Ningyue looked at this scene and already doubted whether it would work.
"It should be okay."
Water refining is to extract the essence, and the essence part should be in the water.
But now some medicines have been boiled into a paste, and the essence is mixed in again.
this….
Mu Tiantu was confused when he saw this situation and had no idea what to do next.
"This isn't the first time you've done this."
Now Yu Ningyue seems to understand.
The uncertain words and the confused expression on his face showed that it was obviously the first time Mu Tiantu had done this.
The medicinal materials used this time cost a few taels of silver. If it fails, it will be a blood loss. The key is to continue investing if you want to succeed.
Alchemy is inherently a bottomless pit, otherwise why would sects train alchemists with good talent?
"I heard my dad say it, but I've never done it myself."
Being seen through, Mu Tiantu was a little embarrassed and scratched his head.
He has indeed never done this, because he doesn't have to touch it at all, all the work is done by the servants.
"You~."
Although Yu Ningyue guessed a little, she didn't expect it to be true.
She only has one idea now, which is to beat this prodigal son to death.
Of course she would be reluctant to let him go, not to mention that there was a master behind Mu Tiantu.
"Let me see if Master has left anything useful."
After reading for a long time without any clue, I suddenly remembered the classics left by Feng Wuyi, and one of them seemed to be about alchemy.
Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and entered the Temple of Death. Coincidentally, the book was in the most conspicuous position.
"I'll tell you where the question came from."
After reading for a long time, I finally found the method of refining water.
The cooking stage is correct, but pay attention to the cooking time of fruits. For example, the fruits can be taken out after they turn yellow.
Of course there are some that are more special.
For example, red dragon fruit is naturally yellow, so the only way to identify it is to see if it is ripe. The pulp can be removed and filtered when it turns into powder.
And he didn't filter the juice when he cooked it, resulting in a pot of paste in the end.
Of course, it can still be done now. After all, although it took half a day to cook, it is impossible to completely dry it.
"Cotton filter."
After opening his eyes, Mu Tiantu immediately filtered the soup, and soon a few drops of turbid soup dripped out of the soup.
Although there are only a few drops, at least not too much is wasted and it can still be used.
"That's it?"
Soon all the soup was filtered.
A small bowl came out of a large pot after a few mouthfuls. Now that they are mixed together, the taste is really extraordinary.
The strong medicinal smell made Yu Ningyue gag, but Mu Tiantu's eyes filled with joy.
Because after eating Dali Pill, apart from the sweetness of honey in it, the rest is this taste.
The stronger the medicine, the more powerful it is.
"Successful."
It doesn't matter how much, as long as the essence can be extracted, mixed and refined again.
When all the water is boiled away, the remaining part is the elixir ingredient. Just add honey and knead it into pills.
"Are you sure this is really Dali Dan?"
Pills are also divided into three or six categories, and even the same pills are all rated for quality.
Even if Mu Tiantu's bowl of soup is a powerful elixir, it is probably a failure, not even as good as the worst ninth grade.
"Not yet."
"There's still one last step left."
The whole process took four hours, boiled in several large pots to make a small bowl, and finally dried into a pill.
If it were an alchemy master, the elixir would have been completed, and it would be absolutely crystal clear.
Looking back at him now, although the turbid soup seems refreshing when asked, its appearance is really not flattering.
Of course, elixirs focus on their efficacy. No matter how unpalatable they are, no one will refuse them as long as they are effective.
"It's done."
An hour passed.
After slowly simmering over low heat and evaporating, a bowl of soup is left with only some white powder at the bottom of the bowl, which has begun to take on the form of an elixir.
Take out the prepared honey and put it into it, then use a pestle to blend the honey and medicinal powder, and finally knead the two into shape with your hands.
After spending five hours just for a pill, and it was not as good as a ninth-grade pill, she was already on the verge of collapse.
"How many taels of silver are you paying for one of these things?"
"If one day goes by like this, how much can you sell this elixir for?"
Money doesn't matter, there's no way she's going to be short of it.
But it took Mu Tiantu half a day to get this thing.
An elixir that is not considered an elixir would be appreciated by no one except some casual cultivators.
Of course, she was not attacking Mu Tiantu. After all, it was the first time he made an elixir and it was made using a special method.
It’s just that it takes too long and the benefits are really low.
If he really wanted to refine the elixir to suppress the sky thunder, it would probably be impossible in three months at his speed.
"Who said we have to sell it for money?"
"This is my first pill, and I can't bear to take it."
"That guy really didn't lie to me. This water extraction can indeed make elixirs."
He won't sell this elixir, and it doesn't meet the sales requirements.
Let’s not talk about the efficacy of the medicine, even the stability of the elixir is not sure.
And this is his first pill, which is the biggest breakthrough for him and the first step in his life.
Whether it is for himself or for Yu Ningyue, this elixir has great commemorative significance.
"You should know a lot of casual cultivators."
"If the price of this thing is lower, they should be able to accept it if the effect is not so good."
Earning spiritual stones is his first goal.
Although he didn't know the price of this elixir, as a family of medicine sellers, he could more or less guess.
It would be okay if you buy it with silver taels, but elixirs have always been purchased with spiritual stones, and silver taels are nothing in the eyes of immortal cultivators.
"What, you want to refine the Qi Gathering Pill?"
She finally understood what Mu Tiantu meant.
The elixir just now was purely for testing the water. Its main purpose was to test whether the water could be refined.
And the effect is obvious.
Although there was a little accident, at least the elixir was indeed refined, but the elixir success rate was too low.
But that was caused by accident.
If Mu Tiantu controls it well and gets more proficient and pondering over and over again, the rate of elixir production will definitely increase.
Refining elixir cannot be accomplished in one or two days.
Water refining does not require high fire control, and of course the extracted essence is not pure, but at least it meets the minimum requirements for elixirs.
The cost of a Qi Gathering Pill is one spirit stone, provided that the pill formation rate reaches five pills per furnace.
The price of five Qi Gathering Pills is ten spirit stones, which means double the profit.
Pills are divided into three, six or nine grades. Qi Gathering Pills of grade six and above cost three spirit stones, and pills of grade three and above cost five spirit stones.
