Driven by the alchemy furnace formation, the medicinal materials thrown into the alchemy furnace began to tumble in the air. The billowing heat waves emitted from the alchemy furnace, which was burned through by the steady earth fire, combined with the heat waves and vapor emitted by the cold water of the earth veins, were thrown into the alchemy furnace.
The two medicinal materials were slowly refined into a ball of yellow medicinal liquid.
However, through the transparent crystal piece in the center of the furnace lid, Ling Dong not only saw the yellow medicinal liquid, but also saw small black spots one after another in the medicinal liquid, which were among the medicinal materials.
of impurities.
The so-called medicine has three parts of poison. These medicinal materials are naturally long-lasting, and there will inevitably be some impurities when they grow. The first step in making alchemy is to refine the essence of the medicinal materials according to their different medicinal properties.
Ling Dong slightly turned his right hand that was holding the handle of the Rong Gang Stone. Under his precise control, a trace of Gang Qi penetrated into the alchemy formation, and he manipulated the formation slightly. It was as if a demon was formed in the alchemy furnace.
The invisible big hand picked out the black spots of impurities one by one, threw them directly into the bottom of the alchemy furnace, and then turned into ashes.
After picking out most of the impurity black spots, Ling Dong's right hand holding the handle of the Fusion Stone suddenly shook, and a layer of cold sweat quickly broke out on his forehead, but the weak Gang Qi in his body was exhausted.
Ling Dong's current acquired cultivation level of the third level is still too weak. If he had the acquired fifth level cultivation level, Ling Dong would be able to remove 90% of the impurities in this medicine, reaching an almost perfect level.
If Master Shui, the alchemist enshrined by the Ling family, saw Ling Dong's alchemy scene here, he would probably be so frightened that his teeth would fall out, and he would cry and call Ling Dong his ancestor.
One of the important requirements for low-grade alchemists and middle-grade alchemists is that the middle-grade alchemists must be able to remove 50% of the impurities and toxins in medicinal materials!
Gritting his teeth, Ling Dong opened his eyes angrily, and used a technique that he accidentally obtained in his previous life to force out the Gang Qi. He squeezed out the last trace of Gang Qi in his Dantian and sent it into the Fusion Gang that controlled the formation.
The stone handle starts the last step of extracting the medicinal liquid - dispensing the medicine!
The red-hot bronze alchemy furnace suddenly seemed to have become spiritual. The lid of the furnace slid open on its own. A burst of white gas emerged, and at the same time, a ball of medicinal liquid was lifted out of the furnace lid by an inexplicable force.
Seeing that the medicinal liquid was lifted out by the Gang Qi control formation, Ling Dong's left hand almost subconsciously grabbed the long-handled jade spoon on the side. It seemed to be slow but actually fast, but it was very steady and stable.
Catching the liquid, he held his breath and gently poured the liquid into a jade box.
The temperature at the lid of the alchemy furnace is very high, and this jade spoon and jade box is specially used to receive medicine. This is also a set of equipment specially made by Ling Dong at a large price for alchemists these days.
Don't underestimate this outfit. The jade is a relatively rare condensation jade. It is already the best thing that can be found in Nanshan County. It can protect the medicinal properties from dissipating very well!
Two long-handled jade spoons, one large and one small, as well as ten jade boxes and five jade vases, including materials and handwork, cost Ling Dong fifty thousand taels of silver. This alchemist is really not something that ordinary people can afford.
.
After doing all this, the jade spoon in Ling's hand almost fell to the ground because of the softness of his hand, and his whole body also fell to the ground. While his chest was rising and falling rapidly, he was breathing heavily, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
The feeling of having all the strength drained from the body was really painful. At this time, Ling Dong felt pain even if he moved his fingers.
Even Gao Yuan, a cultivator, stood up slowly and asked in a low voice: "Master, are you okay? Can I help you up?"
Ling Dong nodded feebly and let Gao Yuan help him up, and even motioned to Gao Yuan to help him into a training position. Ling Dong's experience in his previous life told him that after the Gang Qi has been consumed to the limit, if he practices quickly, he will get twice the result with half the effort.
effect.
Although the Tiangang Beidou Jue he was about to master was miraculous, Ling Dong was not willing to let go of the slightest opportunity to become stronger. This is the principle of water droplets piercing a stone! He endured the pain and discomfort all over his body and took the innate Wooden Gang Bead handed to him by Gao Yuan.
, start practicing cross-legged.
The next time you refine the medicinal essence, you need to wait until the Gang Qi in Ling Dong's body is completely restored before you can start the furnace again. This is why alchemy is such a waste of time now.
When Ling Dong's cultivation advances to the Xiantian realm, or even the Earthly Evil realm, the time to refine these low-level elixirs will become shorter and shorter, and more and more medicinal materials can be refined at one time.
There was no sun or moon in the alchemy room, and Ling Dong only knew from Gao Yuan's mouth that he had been hungry seven or eight times for about three days.
In three days, Ling Dong had finished refining the eight medicinal materials for refining Xiao Ju Gang Dan, including the three main herbs. Since Ling Dong had made countless pills in his previous life, he was extremely familiar with the medicinal properties of most herbs, so he was able to
Combine several of the medicines together to extract them to reduce the number of extracts.
If these eight medicinal materials were obtained by the water master, they would not be able to complete them at all eight times, and they may not be as successful as Ling Dong. This is the importance of experience.
The experience of an alchemist is often gained through repeated failures. Of course, if there is a wise teacher to guide you, you can get twice the result with half the effort and avoid many detours.
Opening his eyes, Ling Dong woke up from practice, his eyes were shining with light, his whole person glowed with a different kind of look, and his eyes were full of confidence.
This is inseparable from an unexpected surprise that Ling Dong got in the past few days.
In the past few days, I used the Gang Qi control pill furnace to extract the essence of the medicinal liquid every day. Every time I moved, I deliberately tried to remove more impurities. While vigorously pushing the Gang Qi in my body, I tired myself like a dead dog.
After refining the medicinal liquid, he gritted his teeth and stood up, holding the Innate Wood Gang Bead to practice Gang Qi. The effect was naturally amazing. Ling Dong originally estimated that it would take half a month to break through the acquired fourth level, but he actually broke through it in just three days.
Already.
You know, Ling Dong in his previous life broke through to the fourth level of acquired life after he was 22 years old. It was a full five years later. This was already a good start!
Looking at the five jade boxes filled with medicinal liquids or medicinal powders beside him, Ling Dong looked solemn. After carefully cleaning the impurities and residues in the alchemy furnace, he replaced the earth fire formation and the alchemy formation again.
After acquiring four brand new low-grade crystal stones, the next step is the last and most important step in alchemy!
With a serious look on his face, Ling Dong solemnly activated the Earth Fire Formation and triggered the Earth Fire...
In an exquisite small courtyard located in the middle of the Ling family courtyard in Nanshan County, an old man wearing a green alchemist's gown was stamping anxiously in the courtyard, his eyes full of dissatisfaction and anger! Deep in the courtyard, several people
The young and charming concubine was looking at the angry old man uneasily.
This person was none other than Master Shui, the alchemist worshiped by the Ling family who was ignored by Ling Dong three days ago and killed and dismembered in front of him.
It’s been three days, it’s been three days since the incident happened! Three days since he was insulted and frightened!
As he had expected, the Ling family tied up Ling Dong in front of him and begged him to deal with it strictly to calm him down, but it didn't happen.
Not only did it not happen, there was not even a shred of news or comfort. Even the beautiful maids who were usually sent to comfort him were not seen.
The top management of the Ling family seemed to have disappeared en masse, and they all ignored him. This made Master Shui very angry, making him feel that he was not taken seriously and that he was extremely embarrassed.
In the past three days, I don't know how many tea bowls were broken, and his concubine, who he usually loved very much, also received a lot of scolding from him.
Today, Master Shui could no longer suppress the anger that filled his body, but he couldn't let go and asked in person.
So I wrote a letter that was very stern and slightly threatening.
There is a lot in the letter that if you don’t give me an explanation, I won’t make elixirs, and there is even a vague intention to find another employer! I assigned a trusted servant to send this letter, hoping to get a satisfactory explanation that would relieve his anger.
!
At this time, Master Shui was anxiously waiting for his trusted servant to come back. Master Shui felt that if he didn't give him an explanation, he would almost go crazy.
Just when Master Shui was waiting so hard that he was about to come to question him in person, the door of this exquisite courtyard suddenly squeaked, and a smart little boy in gray robes flashed in!
"Why, can we see the Great Elder?" Master Shui asked hurriedly.
The young man shook his head: "Master, I didn't see the first elder. I heard that the first elder seemed to be ill! However, after learning about my purpose, the second elder met me and read the letter. It seemed that he was still ill.
After discussing it with several other elders, I finally replied to the letter!"
"Reply to the letter?" Master Shui was overjoyed when he heard this, "Where's the letter? Bring it quickly!"
The boy carefully took out a letter that still smelled faintly of ink from his arms and handed it to Master Shui with both hands!
Master Shui, who was impatient to wait, did not enter the study, but hissed in the courtyard, tore open the envelope, and began to read anxiously on the spot, hoping to find a satisfying sense of revenge from the reply!
But after just reading one line of words, Master Shui's face became extremely ugly. While his face turned livid, cold sweat began to roll down his forehead!
