Seeing Lin Chen turning over and over for observation, Sun Zhengyang didn't expect him to see anything. After all, identifying pills also requires a certain amount of skills: "Don't look at it, top grade. Identifying the quality of pills is also an ability that alchemists must master.
Keep practicing."
It can be seen that Sun Zhengyang is still not satisfied with the quality of this elixir, but Lin Chen is already extremely envious, and he easily made a top-grade elixir. Although it is only the lowest-level yellow-level elixir, in Lin Chen's opinion
It's already great.
Pills are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang. Yellow-level pills are considered the lowest level. There are legendary immortal and divine pills above the Heaven-level, but no one has ever seen such pills.
, it’s just a theory. Immortal products can be simply understood as elixirs, and then divine products are magical elixirs.
The lowest-level yellow-level elixirs, such as the Qi Gathering Pill, are relatively simple to refine, and the refining time is also very short. Some of the high-level elixirs currently being refined by Sun Zhengyang basically take several days to refine.
Lin Chen continued to try, putting his mental power into the alchemy furnace as Sun Zhengyang said, and carefully observed the reactions of the materials at each stage.
The third time, failed.
Lin Chen was not discouraged, and finally succeeded for the fourth time. The elixir was released and a strong medicinal fragrance spread out.
Sun Zhengyang was attracted by the aroma of the medicine. He stretched out his hand and took the medicine prepared by Lin Chen into his hand and took a look.
"Good boy, I have made a high-grade elixir for the first time. It looks like the quality is close to perfect."
Sun Zhengyang was also a little surprised.
"real?"
Lin Chen was stunned at first, and then his expression was overjoyed. The quality was close to perfect, which meant that the quality of the Qi Gathering Pill he had refined was even better than that of Sun Zhengyang's.
"Don't be complacent. Just a pill can't prove anything. It might just be luck. Continue."
Sun Zhengyang struck mercilessly.
Lin Chen was not depressed at all because of Sun Zhengyang's blow. After all, this was the first time he had succeeded in refining an alchemy and got a top-grade one. Even if it was just luck, he was already satisfied.
Continue to make alchemy.
After having a successful experience, Lin Chen successfully refined several Qi Gathering Pills. Calculated, the success rate after his first success in refining the pills has reached about 70%.
Even Sun Zhengyang couldn't help but be a little surprised that the success rate of alchemy on the first day was so high.
Then Sun Zhengyang briefly appraised the quality, and was surprised to find that they were basically top grade, and there was one of perfect quality.
"Senior, am I very lucky?"
Lin Chen asked weakly.
The first time he produced a high-quality elixir, Sun Zhengyang said it was luck. This instilled in Lin Chen the concept that the quality of elixirs depends on luck.
"You brat, once in a while you can say it's luck, but if you do it several times in a row, it's not a matter of luck."
Sun Zhengyang said angrily.
If this brat can refine so many high-grade elixirs, there must be nothing wrong with his brain, so he is asking on purpose.
However, the success rate and quality of Lin Chen's alchemy really surprised him.
"Is it a real fire problem?"
Sun Zhengyang said to himself.
Isn't it a matter of luck? It's a technical issue. Lin Chen burst out laughing: "I am indeed a genius in alchemy."
Seeing that Lin Chen looked like he wanted to be beaten, Sun Zhengyang unexpectedly did not hit him again, and laughed and said: "I really did not misjudge the person. Yes, keep working hard and strive to get first place in the alchemist conference."
"ha?"
When he mentioned this, Lin Chen suddenly fainted again.
Judging from Sun Zhengyang's attitude, it doesn't look like he is joking. He really wants to compete for first place in the alchemist conference. This is too much for me.
"Why are you so stunned? Keep practicing."
Under Sun Zhengyang's strict supervision, Lin Chen continued to refine the Qi Gathering Pill.
He is becoming more and more proficient in alchemy skills. The success rate reached 80% on the first day, and the time for each batch of elixirs has also been shortened. Sun Zhengyang is still very satisfied with this rate of progress, and on the first day
Two perfect quality Qi Gathering Pills were produced.
In the same way, if you occasionally produce a perfect quality item, it can be said to be luck, but if you refine two perfect quality items in one day, it cannot be said to be luck. If you insist on saying so, it can be said to be probability.
When Sun Zhengyang first learned alchemy, it would have been good to produce a high-grade elixir once in a while. He was still recognized as a genius in alchemy. If it were anyone else, he would have been considered a very talented person if he could produce a middle-grade elixir at the beginning.
Could it be that this brat is really an alchemy wizard?
Sun Zhengyang claimed that he was as good as anyone else in alchemy. If compared with him, a genius in alchemy, Lin Chen could indeed be called an alchemy wizard.
This made Sun Zhengyang even more interested in Lin Chen's True Fire. In his opinion, the reason why Lin Chen's success rate is so high and his quality is generally high must have a lot to do with True Fire.
Because true fire is also a key factor in improving the success rate and quality of alchemy.
In addition to some innate true fire and acquired true fire, there is also a theory of mutated true fire.
Lin Chen's true fire was made by absorbing animal fire. Strictly speaking, it is not considered the innate true fire. It also belongs to the category of the acquired true fire. The color of the acquired true fire is roughly the same, but it is not as golden as Lin Chen's.
Really hot.
There are indeed records about mutated true fire in ancient books, but there are no detailed records on the specific differences between mutated true fire and ordinary true fire.
Therefore, Sun Zhengyang only suspected that Lin Chen's true fire might be mutated true fire, because he had never seen what the mutated true fire looked like.
It was precisely because of the real fire that Sun Zhengyang came up with the idea of teaching Lin Chen how to make alchemy, without even testing whether Lin Chen had any talent in alchemy.
Although it was only doubtful before, now Sun Zhengyang is very sure in his heart.
Because only this explanation is reasonable. Even if there are many geniuses in alchemy in the Alchemy Sect, there is no such high success rate and quality as Lin Chen who is new to alchemy. Even most of the disciples who are considered to have good talents think when they first come into contact with alchemy.
It is very difficult to successfully produce the elixir in one or two days, but Lin Chen succeeded after only four attempts.
Although innate true fire is rare, people with mutated true fire are also extremely rare. If the old guys from the Alchemy Sect knew about it, they might even arrest Lin Chen for research. After all, true fire is extremely important to alchemists.
The next day, Sun Zhengyang still asked Lin Chen to refine the Qi Gathering Pill, but asked him to increase the amount of ingredients he put in.
How much elixir can be produced in a furnace is mainly determined by two factors. First, the amount of materials input, and second, the elixir production rate.
Alchemy does not require only one input of materials at a time. The amount of materials input is determined by the needs of the alchemy and the ability of the alchemist.
Like some low-level elixirs, the alchemist will increase the amount of input materials in order to save time, but the more input is not always better. If the alchemist is not strong enough and adds a large amount of elixirs, the entire batch of elixirs may fail.
So the specific amount of materials to invest depends on the situation.
The lowest level yellow-level elixir, such as Qi Gathering Pill, can only produce one elixir at most from one set of materials. If you want to refine two Qi Gathering Pills in one furnace, you must invest at least two portions.
