When he felt that he was almost ready, Ye Yun released all his soul. After confirming that there was no abnormality around him, he sat down cross-legged and began to take out medicinal herbs one by one.
Getting started with alchemy means trying your hand, or burning money.
Even if what is being refined is just some medicinal herbs, the quantity will definitely be terrifying.
And here, there is a clear difference between medicinal herbs and spiritual herbs.
Medicinal herbs are turned into powder, and spiritual herbs are condensed into elixirs.
No matter how the medicinal herbs are refined, they will ultimately be powder and cannot be turned into particles. After adding appropriate spiritual herbs, if they can be condensed into elixirs, then they will be promoted to the first-level alchemy master.
…
Although Ye Yun has a huge amount of medicinal materials, he does not intend to try his hand at directly refining the Vitality Pill.
This elixir is a pseudo-first-grade elixir, and is one of the key elixir recipes that test an alchemist's ability to truly advance to the first-grade alchemy level.
Moreover, increasing martial energy has unimaginable benefits for warriors. Many warriors, for this elixir, can be said to be selling iron.
Because refining this elixir requires the incorporation of two first-level spiritual grasses.
First-level spiritual grass is used by martial arts masters in the first stage of martial arts. Even if it is first-level, it is much more precious than medicinal herbs. The refined elixirs will naturally become more valuable.
Ordinary warriors really can't afford it.
…
Ye Yun quickly prepared ten ingredients for the Vitality Pill according to the pill recipe and placed them in front of him.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Yun calmed down his somewhat nervous mood. After once again confirming that the medicinal ingredients were correct, his eyes flashed with a glint of light, and with a wave of his hand, the Ten Thousand Methods Cauldron emerged.
The hand skill quickly hit the Wanfa Cauldron. When it buzzed, the Wanfa Cauldron shook and emitted bursts of light, floating strangely in the air.
With his heart moving, Ye Yun flicked his fingers, and pale white animal fire roared out, beating on his fingers.
As soon as the fire came out, the surrounding air suddenly became filled with high temperature.
Ye Yun frowned and quickly controlled the fire before starting to heat it. With his other hand, he quickly and sequentially put the spiritual herbs into the Wanfa Cauldron one by one.
The powerful soul constantly observed the condition of the medicinal materials in the alchemy furnace. Ye Yun's Wuyuan began to surge, and the fire gradually grew larger and warmer from the size of a fist.
…
The first stage of alchemy is obviously refining, or purification. The purer the medicinal materials are refined, the higher the grade of the final elixir will be.
Of course, this requires the alchemist's strict fire control ability and super soul sensing ability to dare to purify it at a deeper level.
As long as the average alchemist obtains the standard for purification, he will almost start the next step.
As for Ye Yun, who has just started refining elixirs and his hands are not even warm yet, it would be great if he can successfully purify them.
However, this was a bit of an extravagant hope. The next moment, a puff of black smoke came out of the alchemy furnace, and the burning smell also hit his face.
Ye Yun frowned. The fire was a little bigger just now. Although his strong soul had noticed it, in that moment, it was already too late and the medicinal materials were burnt!
fail!……
It didn't seem to be a good sign to fail at the beginning, but Ye Yun was not in a hurry, and even felt calm. After all, it was normal to fail when refining alchemy for the first time, but it would be really strange if it succeeded.
Feeling stale, Ye Yun summarized the steps he had just gone through and the reasons for the failure, kept them in his mind, and continued to heat and add the medicinal materials.
Failure, failure, failure!
An hour later, nine of the ten prepared medicinal materials had failed.
Either the purification was not in place, or the tempering of hand skills was a step too late. Once, he even made a mistake in the hand skills of condensing pills, causing them all to fail.
Now there is only the last medicinal ingredient left.
Let’s not mention medicinal herbs for the moment. Nearly twenty first-class spiritual herbs are gone. Even if those martial arts masters knew about it, they would probably feel a great pity and secretly scolded Ye Yun for being a fool. He didn’t know how to make pills but directly made vitality pills. This was not obvious.
Prodigal?
"Damn, what's going on?"
Ye Yun also had a look of ugliness on his face. Xuan Shangqing said that the higher the soul, the more powerful he would be in refining alchemy. With his Zixu soul, which is higher than that of a third-grade alchemist, he couldn't even refine the Vitality Pill.
Not only that, he also felt that 90% of his soul had been consumed, and he obviously could not continue. Without soul discussion, he might be in danger at any time.
But out of ten portions of the medicinal materials, nine were consumed, and the last portion was really not pleasing to the eye.
Feeling hot in his heart, Ye Yun grabbed the last of the medicinal ingredients and threw them all into the alchemy furnace. He didn't care about the order and started heating them.
Originally, he wanted to wait for it to be scrapped, think about it carefully, and start refining the elixir again, but Ye Yun discovered that black smoke did not come out of the elixir furnace. This surprised him. When he searched his soul, he immediately opened his mouth.
"The purification was successful so quickly?"
While shocked, Ye Yun did not forget to change his skills and started tempering in the fire.
At this time, Ye Yun did not expect the elixir to be successful at all. While recalling the alchemy skills in his mind, he was quickly firing out a series of magic tricks in his hands.
The pill condensation technique and the pill collection technique were all changed at will in Ye Yun's hands, all done in one go. Finally, he slapped the pill furnace with his big hand, and some weird-looking pills about the size of three fingers flew out.
Ye Yun subconsciously caught it, with an expression of disbelief. He immediately lowered his head and glanced a few times, then raised his confused eyes, "You can refine it casually, but you actually succeeded in producing a pill?"
Ye Yun was speechless, then smiled in surprise.
Although these three pills were inferior elixirs, they were successful anyway. The unhappiness and irritation I felt just now seemed to be gone, and instead I felt refreshed.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Yun calmed down, quickly closed his eyes, and recalled the successful alchemy process just now!
…
After eating something, he began to rest with his eyes closed. With the presence of the mysterious seed, Ye Yun's soul recovered quickly. Two hours later, he opened his eyes again and finally took out twenty raw materials of the Vitality Pill.
Looking at the last twenty medicinal materials, Ye Yun's eyes flashed with solemnity. Although he had a lot of medicinal materials in his hand, there were really not many of the same first-level spiritual grass. If he couldn't refine it, he would not
The only option is to change to other elixirs, or settle for the next best thing and refine the introductory elixirs.
With the lucky success just now, Ye Yun threw the medicinal materials in, his soul and the fire in his hands both started to act, and he had gained a touch of proficiency in his cooperation.
The medicinal materials were stirred by Ye Yun's soul in the hot alchemy furnace, slowly began to melt, and finally turned into pure powder. It was obviously a successful success.
Ye Yun felt happy. Could it be that throwing them together would really have an effect?
With a flash of thought, the skill in Ye Yun's hand changed and began to be tempered!
…
For a moment, Ye Yun's hand flashed and flames flew, and he soon began to condense the elixir. But at the last moment, a small mistake led to failure.
It doesn’t matter if you fail, try again!
After repeated failures and accumulation of experience, Ye Yun has greatly improved. Both the speed of his hands and the process of refining alchemy have begun to speed up.
It was not until the sixth batch of medicinal materials that Ye Yun finally succeeded again, which made him very happy, "Five vitality pills, including one of medium grade, not bad! Haha."
Looking at the fragrant elixir in his hand, Ye Yun felt a sense of emotion in his heart. The hard work paid off. After consuming a lot of medicinal materials, he finally relied on his own continuous accumulation to refine a batch of elixir!
No fluke!
…
A furnace of twelve pills is called a full furnace. However, if you want to make a furnace full, it requires very high attainments, and most alchemists cannot do it. The grade of pills is divided into low-grade and medium-grade.
, first class and special class.
Ye Yun was able to refine five elixirs, and even one was barely a medium elixir. This was a complete miracle for someone who had just started practicing elixirs.
If there were other alchemists present, they would definitely open their mouths in shock and curse Ye Yun for not being a human being.
Refining alchemy is not as simple as Ye Yun made it seem. An average person may refine it dozens or hundreds of times before they can barely succeed once. Some people may even figure out some skills after hundreds or thousands of times.
.
Ye Yun was refining an elixir for the first time, and it was a vitality elixir. Not only was it a success, it was actually average. If word of this spread, it would definitely create a huge wave among alchemists.
However, Ye Yun didn't know this. Instead, he felt that he wasted a lot of medicinal materials and only succeeded once or twice, and was very dissatisfied.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Yun began to summarize the experience just now, and even continued to refine elixirs when he was in the most perfect state.
This time, Ye Yun did not open his eyes, but his techniques and movements were better than before. He purified, tempered, and even collected the pills in one go. Then he opened his eyes and slapped the pill furnace fiercely.
A smooth pill flew out.
Holding it in his hand, Ye Yun showed a satisfied smile on his lips, "I should be considered a first-class alchemist now. Alchemist Hu, what kind of expression would you have if you knew that a piece of trash like me could make alchemy?"
Woolen cloth?"
With a sneer, Ye Yun packed up the elixir and continued to refine the elixir. Although there were still many failures, now, he could at least succeed in at least one of the four ingredients.
Later, after the Vitality Pill was refined by Ye Yun, Ye Yun began to refine other pills, either to restore martial energy or to recover from injuries. As long as there were complete medicinal materials, Ye Yun would start refining them.
As his elixirs continued to increase, his alchemy skills also continued to improve. Now, Ye Yun can achieve the success rate of the fifth level, but Ye Yun is still not satisfied...
There is no time in the mountains. In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed. In addition to refining elixirs, Ye Yun is recovering his soul, swallowing vitality elixirs, and practicing crazily.
At this time, Ye Yun didn't even know how many ingredients he had refined, let alone how many pills he had.
But he knew that he was immersed in the world of alchemy. The alchemy skills were constantly improving, and his cultivation level was constantly increasing. He was now at the second level of peak cultivation and could be promoted at any time, and his soul was constantly being consumed and restored.
Next, he made progress again and reached the peak of the early stage of Zixu.
Ye Yun was able to achieve these achievements because he had a mysterious seed. Otherwise, his soul would have dried up and died.
