But soon, she was attracted by what the old man said.
"Alchemy is not a difficult knowledge. As long as you can refine the elixir, you will be successful. However, alchemists of the same level are also divided into strengths and weaknesses. Do you know how to judge this?"
"Judging based on the quality and quantity of the elixir being refined." Gu Niansheng responded.
"Then do you know how many pills I can refine to make the best pill?"
Gu Niansheng looked at the elixir in the alchemy furnace. This was a common recovery elixir used to restore vitality.
"Ten?"
According to the information she has received so far, this is a second-grade Huiyuan Pill, not a first-grade one. Usually, you can refine ten of the first-grade Huiyuan Pills at one time, but you can usually only refine seven of the second-grade Huiyuan Pills.
Eight is already pretty good.
She knew that the elixirs refined by the old man were often more than those of ordinary people, so she added some more.
However, the old man glanced at her and said: "Twelve."
"Twelve?"
Gu Niansheng's pretty face was full of surprise. She had never heard of anyone being able to refine twelve second-grade Yuan Yuan Pills in one batch of pills. Even if she had watched this senior refine it before, it had never been achieved.
Exceed this amount!
"These medicinal materials can be used to refine up to fourteen recovery pills. If so many pills are actually refined, the efficacy of the medicine will be weakened and it will not reach the best level.
So give up two pills and keep the potency. Twelve pills are the best."
Listening to this explanation, Gu Niansheng couldn't help but sigh. This meant that she understood how powerful this alchemy master was. Otherwise, if she said this outside, she would most likely be beaten to death.
Others can refine up to seven pills in one furnace, but he was good at it and could directly refine fourteen pills. However, he felt that the effect was not good, so he gave up two pills and only refined twelve pills...
"As an alchemist, you don't just need to refine the elixir, this is the lowest standard.
As a competent and excellent alchemist, you must clearly understand the medicinal power of these medicinal materials and retain the essence of these elixirs to the greatest extent when refining them.
Many alchemists waste their essence when refining medicinal materials, which is why the number of elixirs they refine cannot compare with mine."
If Gu Niansheng thought at first that the old man would easily get beaten up if she spoke out his words, then after hearing what followed, her surprise turned into exclamation.
Because everything the old man said made sense and was completely different from the alchemists she usually interacted with, he seemed to have opened a new door for her, giving her a completely different understanding of alchemy.
"What is the most important point in alchemy?"
"It's accurate!"
"Precisely control the heat, accurately grasp the potency of the medicinal materials, and accurately determine the amount of elixirs.
As a qualified alchemist, you must do these things accurately. Just by refining it, you cannot even guarantee the quantity and quality, and you are just the inferior alchemist."
"You have to understand that the requirements for yourself are never refined. You have to understand every refining and never make mistakes!
As long as you grasp the key, you can’t go wrong!”
The old man's voice was very stern, and his attitude when refining alchemy was very rigorous. Gu Niansheng seemed to truly understand the power of the alchemy master.
Different from ordinary alchemy masters, he is an alchemy master!
