Two days later, Lin Fei returned to Changping Town.
The inn room he rented last time had not been returned yet, so Lin Fei returned directly to the room.
At this time, there were about two days left before the date the elixir shop owner and Lin Fei agreed to pick up the goods.
In the past two days, Lin Fei planned to try to refine the elixir.
After all, I have already refined fire, so I can try to refine some low-level elixirs.
Lin Fei sat down cross-legged in the room.
In the corner of the dantian where thoughts were communicated, a golden flame was swaying. It was the fire that Lin Fei refined last time.
After communicating with the flame, Lin Fei used his mind to control the golden flame, slowly transmitting it along his arm to his palm.
There was a soft snap.
The golden flame suddenly appeared above the palm of the hand. With the appearance of the golden flame, the temperature in the room instantly increased a lot, and the nearby air also sizzled with heat.
Lin Feiping calmed down and followed the method of warming and cultivating fire introduced by the basics of alchemy, silently channeling his vitality, slowly flowing his own vitality into the palm of his hand, and using the vitality of his vitality to warm the golden flame.
And with the continuous transfer of Lin Fei's vitality, the golden flame seemed to be nourished, becoming more and more blazing and hot, and the size of the flame also grew a lot.
After warming up for an hour, Lin Fei stopped.
…………
Next, let’s try refining a basic elixir.
Lin Fei took out a batch of low-grade elixirs from the space ring, which he purchased from the elixir shop last time.
After placing the low-level elixir in front of him, Lin Fei took out two medicine cauldrons from the space ring.
A small dark medicine cauldron was originally sent by the King of Medicine to Deacon Meng. After Lin Fei killed Deacon Meng, he naturally refused to let it go and took it back.
The other medicine cauldron is not very big in size. It is purple-brown in color, simple and steady. The body of the cauldron is made of unknown materials. It is neither stone nor iron. There are also many strange-looking birds and animals engraved on the body of the cauldron, some of which are engraved on it.
In addition to birds and beasts, the tripod was also engraved with many mysterious symbols and inscriptions, each exuding an extraordinary aura.
This medicinal cauldron was found in the elixir shop of Great Sage Qiyun.
Originally, Lin Fei planned to go to the weapon refining shop to buy a medicinal cauldron. Unexpectedly, during this trip to Qiyun Cave Mansion, he actually got two medicinal cauldrons and saved a fortune in Yuan Jingshi.
Of the two medicine cauldrons, which one is better?
Lin Fei took the two medicine cauldrons into his hands and looked at them carefully.
The statue of Deacon Meng is very small and can be held in the palm of your hand.
However, Lin Fei had seen with his own eyes that Deacon Meng's medicine cauldron could rise in the wind during battle, and it was extremely powerful and imposing.
It seems that if you thoroughly study how to use it in the future and use it in battle, it will indeed add a lot to your combat power.
As for the medicine cauldron of Great Sage Qiyun, there is an ancient flavor contained in its aura, and bursts of medicinal fragrance ooze out from time to time. Obviously, this medicine cauldron has been used to refine elixirs for many years.
It has been a long time since the tripod was tainted with a very strong medicinal smell.
But Deacon Meng's small medicine cauldron has no medicinal smell. It is estimated that Deacon Meng mainly uses it as a fighting weapon and rarely uses it to refine elixirs.
In this case, then choose the medicine cauldron of Great Sage Qiyun to refine the elixir.
Lin Fei put away Deacon Meng's medicine cauldron and placed the purple-brown medicine cauldron of Great Sage Qiyun in front of him.
Well, the first step, according to the introduction of the basics of alchemy, is that any alchemy apprentice must have a thorough understanding of the structure and function of his own medicine cauldron before making alchemy.
Okay, let’s first get familiar with the structure and functions of this medicine cauldron.
I saw that the medicine cauldron was purple-brown in color, with a little bit of light on it. At the bottom of the medicine cauldron, there were carved two ferocious monsters with two mouths full of fangs, forming a
There are two fire-filled hollows connected to each other. The hollows are curved and continuous. The deeper they go inside, the smaller the diameter becomes. Looking faintly into them, it seems that there is something mysterious inside.
At the top of the medicine cauldron, there is a dark red cauldron cover. There is also a special hole on the cauldron cover, which is a place where medicinal materials are put in.
There are some fine holes made of ice silver scattered on the lid of the tripod, which have the effect of dissipating heat and preventing the furnace from exploding due to high temperatures.
In the middle part of the medicine cauldron, there is a transparent mirror made of ice essence. From here, you can clearly see everything going on inside when refining the medicine.
The surface of the medicine cauldron is painted with beautiful carvings of birds and animals, which look lifelike, like living creatures.
Lin Fei took out the basics of alchemy and turned to the chapter dedicated to introducing the medicine cauldron. Based on the above introduction, he checked the functions of various parts of the medicine cauldron in front of him.
Well, the two animal mouths below should be the fire entrances.
The fire inlet is the most important part of a medicine cauldron. It is the essence of the medicine cauldron. It needs to be polished with high precision. During the construction period, if there is even a slight error, the entire medicine cauldron will become a failure. Therefore,
The more sophisticated the fire mouth is, the stronger its auxiliary effect on refining medicine will be, which means the higher the value of this medicine cauldron.
A good medicinal cauldron is as important to an alchemist as a sword in the hands of a warrior. As the saying goes, if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. A good medicinal cauldron is of great significance to an alchemist.
significant.
Let’s try the fire inlet first.
Lin Fei put a hand on the fire mouth, touched the fire mouth, closed his eyes slightly, and with a thought, the golden flame ignited in the palm of his hand. Then, the golden flame appeared behind the palm and became slightly silent.
Then, suddenly, as if under a fierce suction force, it jumped out of the palm, then passed through the fire mouth and got into the medicine cauldron.
Then, Lin Fei was pleasantly surprised to feel that after the golden flame entered the belly of the medicine cauldron, it turned into a fierce burning fire with a bang.
Miraculously, the fire I refined was just a small flame when ignited in the palm of my hand, but once it entered the medicine cauldron, it turned into a raging fire.
It turns out that the medicinal cauldron actually has a blessing effect on flames.
Lin Fei guessed that the weapon refiners must have carved many formations and symbols inside the medicine cauldron when they were refining the medicine cauldron, forming a blessing effect on the fire.
Within the medicine cauldron, the blazing flames were constantly churning and burning.
The first step, getting familiar with the medicine cauldron, was completed. Lin Fei exhaled. It seemed that it went quite smoothly.
The next step is to refine the liquid medicine.
Lin Fei found the simplest prescription from the basics of alchemy, which was a healing medicine. He planned to try refining it first and practice controlling the temperature of the flame and refining the ingredients of the medicine.
Shengji Powder: One Myogenic Grass, one Energizing Fruit, two Blood-Benefiting Flowers, one Five-tailed Grass...
Because he had prepared in advance, Lin Fei had purchased all the medicinal materials for Shengji Powder. Moreover, because he was trying it out, Lin Fei purchased more than a dozen servings of the medicinal materials for Shengji Powder alone.
Preparation failed many times.
In the medicine cauldron, the golden blazing flames were still burning, and in this process, Lin Fei needed to continuously transfer his own vitality from the air inlet at the bottom of the medicine cauldron, and the flame inside the medicine cauldron provided energy.
Lin Fei picked up a dark red herb from the batch of elixirs in front of him, flicked it, and threw it into the mouth of the medicine cauldron at the top.
Lin Fei was naturally a little nervous when he did it for the first time.
Sure enough, something went wrong while busy!
As soon as the myogenic grass entered the medicine cauldron, before Lin Fei had time to control it, the golden flames flew up. In an instant, the myogenic grass turned into dark ashes, and was finally expelled by the special settings in the medicinal cauldron.
Out of the cauldron.
A burning smell came from the medicine cauldron.
Looking at his first mistake, Lin Fei smiled awkwardly.
"continue."
After swallowing his saliva, Lin Fei once again threw in a myogenic grass. This time, the myogenic grass persisted in the flames for a while, but it still turned into pitch black ashes.
"Oh, the temperature is too high."
After wiping a cold sweat, Lin Fei took it upon himself to refine the elixir for the first time. Lin Fei finally realized that this job was not something that anyone could handle easily.
An alchemist really does have some skills.
After persevering and burning more than 20 Myogenic Grass plants, Lin Fei finally managed to touch the adaptability point of Myogenic Grass to temperature.
Throwing in another myogenic plant, Lin Fei's face was solemn, and he tried hard to control the degree of vitality he transferred into the medicine cauldron. His eyes stared at the myogenic plant suspended on the flame through the ice mirror.
Grass.
After tumbling in the flames for a while, the myogenic grass finally began to peel off the turf gradually. The juice contained in the grass blades was also smoked and roasted into a little bit of pale white powder. The essence of the blood-coagulating grass was finally absorbed by Lin Fei.
Rookie, successfully refined.
In the room of the inn, Lin Fei paid full attention to the medicine cauldron in front of him. The flames in the medicine cauldron were reflected on Lin Fei's delicate face, and they were beating with open teeth and claws.
Lin Fei looked through the ice mirror on the top of the medicine cauldron and stared at the churning flames in the medicine cauldron. His slightly pale face was covered with beads of sweat. Refining medicine for a long time was an extremely draining activity, mind and energy.
work.
At this time, Lin Fei had been refining medicine in front of the medicine cauldron for nearly two hours. Not only was his energy greatly consumed, but he was also exhausted physically and mentally.
Finally, Lin Fei squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the white powder refined from myogenic grass on the ground in front of him. He felt that his body and spirit had reached a limit, and he said softly: "Okay, let's take a rest first.
.I really can’t stand it anymore!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fei's shoulders that he had been trying to keep balanced suddenly dropped. His body seemed to have lost all strength, and he lay softly on the ground of the inn room, panting heavily, and his chest kept rising and falling.
His whole body was sore and numb, and now he couldn't even bother to move a finger.
Damn, this alchemy work is really exhausting, especially controlling the flame just right is such a difficult task.
No wonder, the elixirs refined by alchemists are all ridiculously expensive. Now that Lin Fei has tried this alchemy job himself, he finally understands that an alchemist must pay a lot to refine a pill.
