When he mentioned Ningxue Powder, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel nostalgic. This was the first elixir he refined. At that time, when he was extracting the medicinal power from the medicinal materials, he was in a hurry and even destroyed many medicinal materials.
.Finally succeeded.
This is because he is born with strong soul power. If it were another alchemist, I don’t know how much it would cost to get started.
If Lan Nuo wants to truly refine his first elixir, he will probably need to waste a lot of medicinal materials. Fortunately, the medicinal materials required for first-class elixirs are quite common, and many of them can even be obtained through planting.
Yes, even if it is wasted, I won’t feel particularly distressed.
Since it has been decided to learn how to make medicine through traditional methods first, and then find a way to industrialize and mass-produce the medicine, Lan Nuo also purchased the medicine cauldron like a normal alchemist. According to Xiao Yan, although the medicine cauldron is good for refining
The pharmacist has a lot of bonuses, but the most important thing is the skill of the pharmacist himself. If the strange fire he used was not too violent, it would always burn out his medicine cauldron, and he would not have to replace it with a higher grade one.
The medicine cauldron is ready.
Therefore, the medicinal cauldron Lan Nuo chose was not a top-notch existence. It was just a medicinal cauldron commonly used by novice alchemists. With the completion of the preparation work, his first medicinal practice has begun. The medicinal refining can be roughly divided into
Three steps. One step is to burn the medicinal materials and then extract their essence from the medicinal materials. The second step is to fuse these essences together. The potencies of different medicines will repel each other and fuse them together.
, not only requires strong mental power to squeeze them together, but also needs to maintain stability during the squeezing process. This is the most difficult step in the process of refining medicine.
This process is like holding two champagne towers, moving them closer and to the correct position. The soul power is equivalent to the hand holding the two champagne towers. Once the strength is not enough and trembling occurs, the champagne towers will
If it collapses, the refining of medicine will fail.
Relatively speaking, the last step is much simpler, which is to make the elixir. It only needs to maintain the burning of the flame stably, just like the fire in the last step of cooking to collect the juice, so that the prototype of the elixir can be condensed into the real elixir.
That’s it.
However, when refining medicine reaches this point, the pharmacist is often exhausted, and this step consumes a lot of stamina, so the failure rate is also quite high.
When refining low-level elixirs, failure is still tolerable. After all, the materials are relatively easy to obtain. But when refining some extremely high-level elixirs, many precious materials are simply unique.
Failure means that all the materials have been wasted. Naturally, it is impossible to tolerate failure. The higher the level of the alchemist, the higher the success rate in the refining process. This is why they are so popular.
s reason.
Lan Nuo knew a lot about these things. The only thing he didn't know was what kind of talent he had in refining medicine. At this time, following Xiao Yan's instructions, he began to wrap the medicinal materials with fighting energy. The pill furnace for refining medicine could
Convert his Dou Qi into flames that can burn medicinal materials, allowing him to release flames similar to real fire before reaching the Dou Ling level. Only after reaching Dou Ling level can he use Dou Qi to condense substantial flames without relying on the alchemy furnace.
.
At this moment, he placed his hand on the alchemy furnace, and poured medicinal materials into it one after another. Each one was quickly wrapped in flames, and then he extracted the essence contained in it with incomparable precision.
Lan Nuo feels that this process is like playing Tetris, and it is not very fast. He only needs to operate step by step, have enough patience, and make no mistakes, and he can perfectly extract every dose of the medicine.
Xiao Yan, who was watching from the side, was secretly frightened. The first time he made the medicine, he was not so fast. Even if he was careful and took the simplest step of extracting the essence, he would often fail.
He wasted a lot of medicinal materials. Only after he becomes proficient can he ensure the success rate of refining medicine. And his performance at the beginning was considered a genius in the eyes of Yao Lao.
But Lan Nuo's performance was much more incredible. Not only was the refining speed very fast, but there was not a single mistake. The essence of all the medicinal materials was extracted perfectly, without even a trace of waste.
He doesn't look like a newbie at all, but like a master who has been in the medicine refining industry for many years.
After Lan Nuo easily extracted the essence of all the medicinal materials, he began the second most difficult step, which was to integrate the medicinal powers with each other. In this process, he had to ensure the extraordinary structure of each medicinal essence.
Wrapped in the power of his soul, they remained stable, and the process of getting closer to each other was like stacking blocks.
It's just that what he is holding is not a single building block, but a pile of already assembled building blocks, put together with another pile of already assembled building blocks. During the collision between the two parties, once something happens,
If it is not stable, it will be like knocking over dominoes, causing the entire structure that was finally built to collapse.
The alchemist needs to wrap them with the power of his soul to buffer them from the collisions caused by contact with each other to ensure that they will not collapse. As for the prescription, what is recorded above is the splicing sequence of these structures. On a certain level, it seems that
To become an alchemist, one must have a certain foundation in geometry in order to be able to understand the complex requirements of prescriptions.
Although it is impossible for Lan Nuo to make mistakes on these issues that seem to be extremely basic to him, it is not difficult for him to control the power of his soul, wrap these extraordinary structures and splice them with each other.
Extraordinary structures that looked extremely fragile to others seemed to be quite strong in his eyes. As long as he did not suffer from cerebral thrombosis, he would not damage these extraordinary structures. This was because he had long been accustomed to dealing with all kinds of structures.
He controlled these sophisticated structures. Although these extraordinary structures were fragile, they were nothing to him who once regarded splicing atoms and molecules as a daily routine.
It only took a moment for a few drops of the pure medicinal liquid to be completely fused. As he slowly continued to heat it, the liquid gradually became viscous and turned into a ball. A moment later, a perfectly round pill appeared.
, fell into his hands again, and there was no flaw at all from the appearance.
Xiao Yan opened his mouth next to him and shook his head helplessly: "It seems that I have nothing to teach you about refining first-grade elixirs. Even in my heyday, when I was refining first-grade elixirs, I probably had nothing to teach you.
There’s no way I can do better than you.”
Lan Nuo thought for a while and said: "Just refining it is indeed not difficult for me. Now I want to know more pharmacological knowledge and learn how to compile the prescription of a first-class elixir. If other prescriptions are provided,
If the prescription for a first-class elixir requires extra money, I can also spend money to buy it or exchange it with some precious items."
Xiao Yan shook his head: "That's not necessary. This prescription of first-grade elixir is actually not particularly valuable. If you have to make an analogy, the value may be equivalent to a book of low-level fighting skills of Xuan level. The market price may be less than 10,000 gold coins.
The price of the second-grade elixirs will be slightly higher. I can give you all the prescriptions for the first-grade elixirs in my collection. It seems that you are the type who is better at summarizing statistics. I will teach you pharmacology as much as possible.
, maybe you can summarize some rules that I haven't discovered yet."
As Xiao Yan spoke, he wrote down prescriptions one after another. Normally, prescriptions need to be condensed with soul power, so that the experience of the previous alchemist in refining the medicines can also be recorded.
in it.
In this way, when the next alchemist reads the prescription, he can further improve the success rate of refining. However, considering that Lan Nuo is an understatement when refining a first-grade elixir, the success rate is almost 100%, even if he does not use his soul.
The prescription written by his strength was recorded on paper, and it had no impact on the success rate of his refining.
Lan Nuo weighed the elixir in his hand, looked at the prescription in front of him, and shook his head sadly.
The price of the elixir in his hand on the market is close to one thousand gold coins, which exceeds the annual income of most ordinary people. The price of medicinal materials is insignificant compared to this elixir.
The level is less than one-tenth of the price of the elixir.
It can be imagined how lucrative a profession the alchemist is. If Lan Nuo's current soul strength is only to refine a first-grade elixir, he can keep refining it for a day. At the end of the day, refining a hundred elixirs will not be a big problem.
, it’s one hundred thousand gold coins in one day. If you don’t consider whether it can be sold, you can stably buy a local low-level fighting skill in three months. This is only the lowest-valued first-grade elixir.
Of course, the soul power of a normal alchemist cannot be as tenacious as his, and it is impossible to refine elixirs like this continuously. Even for first-grade elixirs, refining more than a dozen pills a day is quite extreme.
But Lan Nuo obviously will not be satisfied with this. Even if he develops his efficiency to the limit, one hundred first-grade elixirs a day is still a negligible output for the entire Dou Qi Continent. Only true industrial mass production can achieve this.
A yield that satisfied him.
In the following period, Lan Nuo was not in a hurry to refine the second-grade elixir. Instead, he had long-term discussions and studies with Xiao Yan on pharmacology, and improved the prescription of the first-grade elixir again and again.
.
Just like this, a month passed. Xiao Yan looked at the prescription in front of him that had been reduced to less than one third of the original, and blurted out: "Sometimes I really wonder if your brain is a computer. I
Just come up with an improvement idea, and you can instantly give an improved prescription."
Just after he finished speaking, he saw Lan Nuo showing him a meaningful smile, and then he realized that he had subconsciously said something that did not exist in this world.
However, Lan Nuo seemed not to be entangled in this matter at all. Instead, he arranged the prescriptions for the first-grade elixirs that had been streamlined a lot. Under them, there were various medicinal materials and the medicinal properties of these medicinal materials that had been summarized before.
.
Xiao Yan feels that his brain is like a computer, but it does not mean that he has developed his brain to this extent. If physical conditions do not allow it, the current computing power of his brain will not be much stronger than that of a calculator.
, this kind of instantaneous calculation results occurs naturally because the calculations are all carried out in the rehearsal. Although the signal will be poor in the rehearsal, Lan Nuo himself can exist as a bystander, and the time spent is not
will become less. During this period of time, he can still think and calculate. If the original time is extended fifty thousand times, there will naturally be enough time to calculate, and the results can be obtained in the blink of an eye in reality.
Now he has simplified all the first-grade prescriptions, removing all unnecessary steps and steps that may increase the difficulty. Some even the formulas have been changed beyond recognition, transforming the original complex prescriptions into
This is the simplest state now.
But even in this simplest state, without the talent of an alchemist, there is still no way to successfully refine it.
But thankfully, during this process, Lanno has also summarized the pharmacological properties of each drug, that is, what kind of extraordinary structure is contained in each drug.
The extraordinary structure contained in these most basic medicinal materials is like one basic rune after another. No matter how complex the medicine is, it is built up bit by bit from these basic runes.
"I have a little idea. I wonder if you have any impression of Tang Zhen, the master of the Burning Flame Valley?" Facing these medicinal materials, Lan Nuo gradually clarified his thoughts. At this stage, his knowledge and skills are far from enough.
It is still a bit ambitious to completely separate the alchemists from refining elixirs, but if the efficiency of alchemists in refining elixirs is greatly improved, and they are included in a brand new elixir refining system, mass production of elixirs can also be achieved to a certain extent.
The purpose of the medicine.
"Master Tang Zhen Valley?" Xiao Yan showed a trace of nostalgia on his face and nodded: "Of course I remember. If he hadn't secretly taken action when I was wandering around, you might not have been able to see me. Why did you mention him suddenly?"
"Tang Zhen Valley Master is not an alchemist, but he can rely on the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire to help the alchemist refine the essence of medicinal materials. According to my own experience in the refining process, even if the step of refining the essence of medicinal materials does not have the wood attribute,
It can also be done. If this step is stripped out, it is theoretically possible to achieve industrialized mass production of medicinal essences.
In this way, the efficiency of alchemists can be greatly improved when refining medicines. We can even standardize the essence of medicinal materials to make the formula for integrating various medicinal powers simpler, further improving the efficiency of medicine refining." Lan.
As Nuo spoke, he wrote down his ideas and formulas on paper.
