Chapter 103: It’s almost a death (7th update)
Xu Chen has already refined Xiaoyuan Dan several times, so he is already familiar with it.
In just a moment, all the eight medicinal herbs were refined.
Then combine the elixirs, divide the elixirs and nourish the elixirs in one go.
In less than two seconds, a furnace of twelve Xiaoyuan Dan was boiling hot.
The third elder sitting nearby looked surprised and excited. He raised his hand to take a handful of elixirs handed over by Xu Chen, looked at them carefully and nodded with great satisfaction:
"It seems that your alchemy talent is indeed very strong. You can fully support this furnace of elixir with only your own vitality, which shows that the control of spiritual consciousness is very good. Not only is there less waste of medicine, but the elixir yield rate is high, and the quality is also very good. It is fully achieved.
Reached the top level."
After speaking, the third elder waved his hand, and in front of Xu Chen were more than ten kinds of spiritual herbs and elixirs full of spiritual energy.
"Now that you are familiar with the Little Yuan Dan, let me make another batch of the Great Yuan Dan and show me!"
"Please ask the Third Elder to give you the elixir recipe!" Xu Chen said with some surprise.
"You haven't seen the Dayuan Dan recipe yet?" The third elder was surprised.
Xu Chen nodded honestly and said: "Yes, the disciple only got the Xiao Yuan Dan formula from the Ninth Senior Brother, but not the Great Yuan Dan."
The third elder twisted his beard and nodded and said: "Although Lu Yuan has an outgoing temperament, he is still not confused about important matters. That's fine. I will give you all the first- and second-grade elixir prescriptions in the Taiyuan Sect at the moment. You can take the time to study slowly!"
After speaking, the elder waved his hand, and a handful of colorful jade slips floated in front of Xu Chen. Xu Chen took out one of them with a sweep of his mind, and happily put the rest into the storage bag, and then put the jade slip between his eyebrows.
, and watched carefully.
Dayuan Dan is already a first-class elixir in the Eight Classics. Although it is the most common, its refining requires more than ten kinds of elixirs and herbs. The refining method is also much more complicated, and every alchemist in each sect, these
The mixing and refining methods and time of the elixirs and medicinal materials are more or less different, and they will never be exactly the same.
To put it bluntly, alchemy and cultivation are the same, even if they use the same exercises and teachers, in the end everyone's cultivation progress and process will be different, and the results will naturally be very different, which mainly has a lot to do with their own qualifications.
The elixir prescription details the medicinal properties of various medicinal materials, refining, combining elixirs, dividing elixirs, nourishing elixirs, extracting elixirs, purchasing and storing them, etc. The most complicated one is undoubtedly the refining stage, and this stage is also the most challenging stage of elixir refining.
Master’s consciousness and spiritual energy control ability.
The refining requirements of more than ten kinds of medicinal materials are different. Any mistake may lead to the destruction of all medicinal materials. Among them, the control of the five elements formation and the temperature of the spiritual fire is the most important. The more mistakes are made, the greater the loss of medicinal properties.
The larger it is, the lower the final elixir production rate and efficacy will be.
With the same medicinal materials and the same alchemy furnace, some people can produce 70, 80 or even 90% of the medicine in one furnace, but some can only produce 20 to 30% or even destroy them all.
Moreover, refining a furnace of elixir takes a very long time. The longer the time, the more difficult it is to test the strength of the alchemist's soul and the thickness of his vitality. Any negligence during this period may lead to failure.
Although Xu Chen had experience in refining Xiao Yuan Dan, it was his first time to come into contact with the Great Yuan Dan, so he did not dare to be careless. He spent a full moment reading the recipe, then closed his eyes and memorized it again and again.
During the tea time, I opened my eyes and started to distinguish the medicinal materials.
Zhao Xuan knelt down next to him and helped him organize everything and help him identify it.
After another half stick of incense passed, Xu Chen arranged all the medicinal materials neatly according to the order of refining, then took a deep breath, stuffed a spiritual stone into the furnace, and then pressed his hands on the energy channel of the alchemy furnace.
The spiritual consciousness was put into the alchemy furnace and began to ignite the spiritual fire and activate the formation.
Seeing Xu Chen's meticulous and serious attitude, the third elder twisted his beard and smiled, very satisfied and useful.
However, this was Xu Chen's first time refining the Great Yuan Dan, so he carefully reminded a few of the key points of elixir refining. After hearing this, Xu Chen felt that he had some enlightenment, and quickly made some adjustments according to the prompts.
The spiritual fire and formation soon became more harmonious.
"Well, that's good. Chen'er has a high level of understanding, sharp spiritual awareness, and strong control. It seems that learning alchemy is indeed a good choice for you, and it will be very beneficial to your future practice!"
Xu Chen smiled dryly and said nothing. After adjusting all the furnace fire formations, he began to put in the medicinal materials and start refining.
In fact, there is not much difference in the refining process of the Great Yuan Dan and the Little Yuan Dan. The difference is that the number of medicinal materials is almost doubled, which makes the elixir refining take longer. It also requires more precise energy storage and spiritual control.
But these are not problems for Xu Chen now.
His spiritual consciousness is now no worse than that of the Third Elder. With the blessing of spiritual stones, his energy consumption is not too large, and his state in the middle and late stages of the Kaiyuan Realm can fully support him.
Therefore, the elixir was quickly refined at the same speed as half a cup of tea, but it still took nearly an hour to refine all the medicinal materials.
Although Xu Chen did not feel very tired, sitting and concentrating for such a long time still caused a lot of sweat to slowly form on his forehead and flow down his cheeks.
Zhao Xuan took out a fragrant handkerchief and gently and carefully helped him dry his sweat.
The third elder was sitting like an old monk with a normal expression, but he felt a little emotional in his heart. He couldn't help but take a focused look at Zhao Xuan, and his snow-white eyebrows couldn't help but beat a few times.
He found that the aura on Zhao Xuan's body was much thicker, and even the damaged meridians seemed to be completely healed.
Could it be that the senior brother helped her repair it?
But this is unlikely. The three old guys were having tea a few days ago, and Zhenjun Xuanchen talked about this matter with some depression, saying that Zhao Xuan's injury was quite difficult and might cause lifelong damage that could not be repaired.
But soon the third elder put this matter aside temporarily.
Perhaps it is possible that during this spirit-transformation ceremony, True Lord Xuanchen obtained some elixir to repair his meridians.
Originally, he had considered using the Three-Element Golden Lotus to refine a furnace of third-grade elixir to help repair Zhao Xuan's injuries, but it seems that there is no need for it now.
Seeing that Xu Chen was about to start combining elixirs, the third elder carefully mentioned a few words about his experience and methods of combining elixirs. After Xu Chen listened, he began to combine the discussion of elixirs and make some subtle adjustments. Soon the internal elixir furnace was combined.
The alchemy formation was started, and more than ten refined medicinal materials were slowly merged into the vortex of the formation in order. Suddenly the light and shadow of the formation in the alchemy furnace flickered and rotated. Under the baking of the spiritual fire, there was a faint electric glow.
Flashing, the entire alchemy furnace began to make a crackling sound.
The Great Yuan Dan's combined elixir time is much longer than that of the Little Yuan Dan. It took two moments to finally reach the complete fusion state. Then, after the combined elixir formation stopped, Xu Chen carefully controlled the temperature of the spiritual fire and began to bake the Yun Dan.
This time lasted for another half an hour before the medicinal fragrance began to float out of the alchemy furnace.
After collecting the pills for half an hour, the entire elixir room was filled with a rich aroma that made people salivate. At the prompts of the third elder, Xu Chen activated the pill-dividing formation. Under the control of his powerful web-like consciousness, a ball of spirit the size of an egg was created.
The ointment was finally cut into ten pills the size of a finger, and then was involved in a rotation by the formation, forming ten pills of regular sizes.
After the final moment of baking the elixir again to finalize it, and when the fragrance of the elixir gradually subsided, Xu Chen gently tapped the elixir furnace with both hands, and the furnace lid shook open, and ten elixirs were wrapped in a stream of spiritual fire elixir and spewed out.
Chen raised his hand to grab it, and Yuan Qi took the elixir into his hand.
"Third Elder, what do you think?" Xu Chen respectfully presented the freshly baked elixir with both hands.
The third elder scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, then picked it up and looked at it carefully, and finally nodded with a smile on his face and said: "It's very good, almost the same as the one made by a poor Taoist. This shows that your talent for alchemy is indeed rare.
The Taiyuan Sect is fortunate to have a successor to the Alchemy Academy. Even if I die, I can rest in peace!"
Xu Chen quickly laughed and said: "How could it be possible? The third elder is getting stronger and stronger, and he might be able to form an elixir soon. This disciple is just trying to make elixirs for fun. This elixir academy is sitting idle day after day. The age of the disciple is not suitable. You sir
You'd better live well for hundreds or thousands of years and take good care of the Alchemy Court, don't count on me."
"Haha, you have become glib after you have gone out a few times. Well, although I have a slim chance of forming an elixir, but I got the Three-Element Golden Lotus this time. If I can refine a furnace of Tengyunhua Golden elixir to replenish my soul and stabilize my realm, I will still be able to
There are two or three chances, it just depends on luck. Let’s not mention this matter. Today you made two furnaces of elixirs in a row, both of which were very good. You must be tired now. Let’s go back to rest. Come to Laofu Danyuan tomorrow to officially start learning alchemy.
.”
"Yes, disciple, resign!" Xu Chen stood up and saluted.
"Well, I also have several atlases of elixirs and elixirs here. Take them back and study them carefully to familiarize yourself with and identify the properties of various commonly used elixirs. These are the most basic knowledge for an alchemist.
Don't swallow it in a hurry, be sure to memorize it proficiently, I will take a test in a few days!"
"Uh, disciple, I obey!"
With a grimace, Xu Chen grabbed the seven or eight jade slips thrown out by the third elder, collected Dan Lu and Zhao Xuan and left.
After walking out of the Alchemy Academy, I couldn't help but sigh: "I finally understand why Brother Ninth doesn't like alchemy. This study exam is killing me."
Zhao Xuan covered her mouth and said with a smile: "How old are you? You are just living your life day by day. Don't you even want to go down the mountain? You can just stay on the mountain every day to make alchemy. There is really no danger at all. The entire mountain gate will
I will treat you as a treasure."
Xu Chen said with a bitter face: "But I just want to live forever and don't want to be burdened. How should I live my daily life in the future? I have been refining one furnace for most of the day. In the future, I will be refining the second-grade and third-grade pills for ten days."
It’s been half a month and I’m still worrying myself to death.”
Zhao Xuan nodded when she heard this and said: "That is indeed very boring, but when the time comes, it will be much easier to get a good alchemy furnace that can automatically refine and roast the elixir according to the recipe. However, such alchemy furnaces are very expensive and cost a lot.
Only spiritual stones will do. I heard that there is an Earth Dragon Cloud Furnace in Yuqing Palace, which is a fourth-grade elixir furnace. Refining elixirs only requires simple care, and there is no need to sit there and guard it like this every day."
Xu Chen almost vomited blood and said depressedly: "I'm afraid that even if we sell all the senior brothers and sisters of Taiyuan Sect, we can't afford the fourth-grade alchemy furnace. Senior sister, please don't comfort me. I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it in this life."
, I can only work as a stove burner. Senior sister, if you have time in the future, come and talk to me more often. Alas, I really can’t live this life. Come, follow me to find Brother Ninth for some compensation."
"Hehe, I agree with this!"
Feeling sad and depressed, Xu Chen went to find Brother Ninth, and Zhao Xuan happily followed him to watch the fun.
