The catastrophe was not caused, mainly because Xiang Que finally figured out how to control the Nine Directions Sky Fire.
However, the fact that the catastrophe did not happen really frightened the two of them, mainly because the various herbs in Shen Gongxiang's cave were too precious. In the outside world, ordinary people might not be able to get them even after thousands of years, so
It scared both of them into a cold sweat.
Shen Gongxiang was jumping to his feet and cursing, thinking of eating Xiang Que. He never thought that the other party had sky fire, but had no ability to control it, and he was almost in danger of falling into doom.
"I have some medicinal herbs here. They are all cheap and worthless. You should give me some practice first. When you can start practicing, we will take the next step." Shen Gongxiang said with a slumped face.
Xiang Que nodded honestly and said, "Yes, I will do my best. Don't worry about that. My learning ability is quite strong."
Shen Gongxiang snorted angrily and said, "Just fix it!"
The first step before refining the elixir is to dry the water in the herbs to ensure that all that is left in them is the essence. Otherwise, if there are impurities, the elixir will not be pure. Drying the water can only
With the help of heat, this is mainly done quickly, otherwise the essence of the medicinal herbs will be lost.
Following Shen Gongxiang's instructions and instructions, Xiang Que tried to control the nine-direction sky fire to fall under the medicinal herbs, but as soon as the flames came closer, the medicinal herbs turned into ashes.
"Slow down, you are so close that the gold will melt..."
"What are you doing so far away? Are you burning your hair?"
"Brother, the fire is too urgent. Slow down, slow down."
"Stop it, just light it up with a small fire."
"With your IQ, if you were my apprentice, I could beat you eight times a day..."
It is no exaggeration to say that Xiang Que has never been scolded like this in thousands of years. Shen Gongxiang scolded him as if he were scolding his grandson. He scolded him when he opened his mouth, and then almost went up and kicked him, but he was a little bit harsher.
He didn't even have a temper, and Xiang Que also knew that if he could learn the art of alchemy, he wouldn't be able to use it in the future.
A few days passed by, and Xiang Que gradually became more proficient in refining medicinal herbs. Although Shen Gongxiang was still cursing at times, in his heart he was also very surprised by Xiang Que's talent, which was mainly controlled by Xiang Que.
This Skyfire is indeed too overbearing, and if you are not careful, it will be a mistake.
It took Shen Gongxiang almost three months to use the sky fire to take this step. Xiang Que could be said to be much ahead of him.
Half a month later, there were six kinds of herbs placed in front of Shen Gongxiang and Xiang Que. These were the six herbs used to refine Liuwei Emperor Pills. Xiang Que's method was quite authentic, so the two planned to leave.
.
"You'd better be more alert. This is a medicinal herb that I have obtained over hundreds of years. If it is damaged, it will be difficult to get it again, so you have to cherish it."
Xiang Que also nodded cautiously and said, "I know what I know, don't worry."
"This is a total of three furnaces. Each furnace can produce about twelve pills. I don't ask you to succeed in every furnace. In the end, as long as you can produce one furnace..." Shen Gongxiang's expectation was not
It was too high, because this was Xiang Que's first time controlling fire and refining elixirs, and he had even prepared to draw water from a bamboo basket and get nothing.
Xiang Que took a deep breath and said cautiously: "I'll do my best!"
The six herbs were put into the alchemy furnace starting from the first one. Xiang Que held his breath and sent the nine-direction sky fire over. The sky fire only had a tiny spark, but after it landed under the alchemy furnace, it quickly ignited the path.
, and then the herbs inside were drying up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and all the moisture in them was dried.
Xiang Que breathed a sigh of relief, the first one was quite successful, and then Shen Gongxiang threw in the second herb. He threw in the herbs several times in a row. Xiang Que was quite comfortable with it, and no one appeared.
What a mistake.
Shen Gongxiang wanted to laugh and pat his dog's head and praise him a few words, but Xiang Que turned around and said: "If nothing else, as far as learning is concerned, I'm pretty good at it. I was the third person in the school's scripture building back then.
I can memorize Qiandaozang backwards, and I can also learn the techniques with ease. This alchemy is just like that..."
"Look at it, brother, do you think this is cooking, using high heat to absorb the juice? It's burnt, it's burnt!"
I prayed for eighteen times, but at the last moment I was shuddering and got carried away. Xiang Que made the fire a little bigger, and the medicinal herbs were burned to waste.
Xiang Que looked at the other party awkwardly and said, "Look, you insist on interrupting me when I'm concentrating. Isn't it ruined?"
Shen Gongxiang bit his lip, and he really had the urge to strangle him to death. How could this guy really be a slut?
"Come on, I said I can accept it if we can make one out of three furnaces. Can we have some snacks?" Shen Gongxiang said with tears in his eyes.
Xiang Que said seriously: "Okay, if I make another mistake this time, I will practice it myself..."
For the second batch of herbs, Xiang Que also knew that he would never miss again. He immediately entered a state of concentration, without any distractions, and did not dare to slack off at all. This time, the drying went smoothly after the first failure.
After a lot of cooking, all six herbs were finally used.
Shen Gongxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a lot more at ease in his heart. He cautiously said to Xiang Que: "The first step you just took was good, and now you have entered the stage of real alchemy. You must remember one thing, that is, follow the instructions
My instructions are that the heat cannot be too high or too low. We must fuse the essence of the medicinal herbs together until it finally becomes a pill, so that all the medicinal power is combined in one pill..."
Xiang Que stopped boasting loudly, and nervously followed Shen Gongxiang's instructions and began to slowly hand out the Nine Directions Heavenly Fire under the alchemy furnace.
Refining elixirs is not only a technical job, it relies on techniques, and it is also quite time-consuming. Some elixirs may only take a few days or even weeks to become elixirs, while some heaven-defying elixirs may reach a certain level during the refining process.
Month to month or year to year.
Shen Gongxiang had told Xiang Que before that the refining of the Liuwei Emperor Pill would take at least three months, and during these three months, both Xiang Que and he would have to be almost motionless, all the time.
Staring at the alchemy furnace, he couldn't even look away. At the same time, he had to ensure that the sky fire was always burning under the alchemy furnace.
A few days later, Xiang Que sat cross-legged on the ground and stared at the alchemy furnace. The nine-direction sky fire below was burning blazingly, and the six herbs in the alchemy furnace had been mixed into a ball of juice.
One month later, this mass of juice was gradually separated and divided into prototypes of the elixir, approximately thirteen in number.
