Returning to Tianqing City, Jiang Han entered the room, activated the divine array, and then took out the two booklets and flipped through them.
The first introductory book on alchemy, it clearly describes the various steps of alchemy in detail.
Alchemy is actually very simple, but it is also very complicated.
The principle of alchemy is to extract the essence from various elixirs and let the medicinal powers inside merge with each other to become a brand new medicine and condense it into an elixir.
When the essences of various elixirs are blended together, they will form a brand-new medicine with various unique effects.
It is said to be complicated because the essences of various elixirs cannot be blended simply by boiling them together.
There can be no mistakes in the dosage of medicine, heat, steps, etc. If you make a little mistake in any place, the final product may be completely different.
This is also the reason why the yield rate of alchemy is not high. Even if the yield rate of master alchemy is only 70-80%, the yield rate of ordinary alchemists is only half.
Refining alchemy requires skills, mastery of heat, and experience.
Without the guidance of a famous teacher, if you rely on your own exploration, you will not be able to learn many subtle skills. Even if you can learn them, it will take many years of accumulation.
That would consume countless raw materials and waste countless immortal stones. How can ordinary immortals have so much time and immortal stones to waste?
After reading the two booklets several times, Jiang Han frowned.
He told Shopkeeper Diao that he was a master of alchemy in the lower world and was very talented in alchemy. That was just bragging. He had never refined alchemy at all...
This alchemy is very complicated, and the addition of various elixir crystals needs to be precise. If he follows the instructions in this introductory book on alchemy, he may not be able to get started even if he fumbles for a year and a half.
He took out the cauldron for alchemy, which was a black cauldron. He also took out a lot of materials, and then entered the secret room with the name of the cauldron.
He looked at the small Heavenly Beast Cauldron inside the cauldron, pondered for a while, and decided to use an ordinary black cauldron to refine it first, to master the skills first, and then use the Heavenly Beast Cauldron to refine it.
He took out a fiery red spar, which could ignite and release flames.
After lighting the crystal, he began to pour the elixir into it, and then added the elixir ingredients bit by bit according to the steps on the elixir recipe.
"Uh, what did I refine?"
Half an hour later, Jiang Han was dumbfounded. He opened the lid of the cauldron, and a black liquid appeared in the black cauldron.
There is also a burning smell. This is not an elixir, it is venom...
Jiang Han was a little frustrated. He took out the book and looked through it again, and started to refine the second elixir half an hour later.
After working hard for a while and tossing and turning, Jiang Han was so exhausted that he was sweating profusely.
When he opened the lid of the cauldron half an hour later, it was still dark inside, and this time there was a foul smell.
"What's wrong with this?"
Jiang Han sat down on the ground. Isn't it too difficult to refine the elixir? He didn't say that he had made the elixir, but the elixir didn't even look like it was formed.
He strictly followed the steps on the prescription and made it step by step. He felt there was no problem. Why did it become like this?
"continue!"
He gritted his teeth and started refining the alchemy for the third time. Half an hour later, he got another black paste...
The fourth time, the fifth time...the thirtieth time!
After struggling for more than two days, Jiang Han gave up.
After wasting so much material, not only did he fail to refine a single fairy elixir, he didn't even see what the elixir looked like, it was just a ball of black paste.
He was exhausted and fell asleep.
After waking up, he set his sights on the Little Heavenly Beast Cauldron. He decided to try the Little Heavenly Beast Cauldron?
He took out the fiery red crystal and placed it on the small heavenly beast cauldron. When he lit the fire crystal, an old voice sounded: "What are you doing? This cauldron is a rare treasure. Do you need fire crystals to make elixirs?"
"ah?"
Jiang Han was a little confused and asked, "How can you make an elixir without using fire crystals?"
The weapon spirit sent a message: "Idiot, can this cauldron be the same as an ordinary alchemy cauldron? If you just throw all the materials into it according to the elixir recipe, the elixir will automatically form in the cauldron, and the elixir-forming rate is 100%!"
"really?"
Jiang Han's eyes suddenly widened, is this cauldron so powerful?
He quickly took out a portion of the immortal materials and poured them all into the small heavenly beast cauldron. The cauldron did not have a lid. Jiang Han stared at the cauldron with wide eyes, waiting.
"Buzz~"
The small heavenly beast cauldron lit up, the runes on it shone, and purple mist filled the cauldron. Soon, the cauldron was filled with mist and nothing could be seen. Jiang Han sensed it and found that it was isolated by the mist.
The runes on the cauldron flashed and flashed, and after just a stick of incense, the cauldron suddenly shook slightly, then emitted a faint golden light, the runes gradually disappeared, and the purple mist inside the cauldron also slowly dissipated.
"Well..."
When the fog dissipated, Jiang Han found a snow-white pill inside.
This elixir is filled with a faint fragrance, and after just sniffing it, I feel comfortable all over, and the medicinal power is amazing.
"So simple?"
Jiang Han blinked, this cauldron must be too perverted.
Not only does it not need to be heated by fire crystals, but there is no need to follow the steps on the elixir recipe and gradually add elixirs and elixirs. Just throw in a stick of incense and it will become an elixir?
You don’t need an alchemist to do this. Anyone can use this cauldron to refine elixirs, right?
Jiang Han poured out the elixir and observed it for a moment. He didn't know the grade of the elixir. He ignored it and took out the jade box to put the elixir away to prevent the elixir from evaporating.
With an excited face on his face, he quickly took out the materials and poured them in. The Heavenly Beast Cauldron lit up again, the runes shone, the purple mist steamed, and after a stick of incense, another elixir appeared.
"Cool!"
Jiang Han was overjoyed and continued to pour in the elixir ingredients. After waiting for a stick of incense, another elixir appeared. The elixir yield rate was indeed up to 100%.
Four coins, five coins, ten coins... seventy coins!
After working hard for a day, Jiang Han used up all the remaining fairy materials and got seventy pills.
Moreover, these seventy elixirs were exactly the same, and none of them failed to be refined. Each time, the elixir was formed automatically after burning a stick of incense.
"Walk!"
Jiang Han came out of the secret room with the name "ding", put away the heavenly beast cauldron, opened the divine array and walked out of the room.
He couldn't wait to evaluate the condition of this elixir. If it was really an elixir and the medicine was powerful, then he would really make it.
The hall outside was empty. Everyone had received a lot of fairy stones, and they probably bought a lot of resources to increase their combat power.
Jiang Han ignored them, left the city and used Xiaoyaoyou, and appeared on the hill where Tianyin Pavilion was located. He entered Tianyin Pavilion.
"Huh?"
Just as he entered and walked to the shop selling elixirs, Jiang Han found a familiar figure inside, it was Yin Ruoxi.
"Brother Jiang!"
Yin Ruoxi was very happy to see Jiang Han and said hello happily: "Are you coming to buy elixirs too?"
Yin Ruoxi should have come to buy the elixir. Jiang Han responded with a smile, but the Diao shopkeeper inside smiled and said, "Dear guest, how is your elixir refining going? Can you refine an elixir?"
When Jiang Han saw there were other customers in the shop, he said, "Shopkeeper Diao, can you come into the inner hall to talk?"
Shopkeeper Diao nodded slightly and led Jiang Han inside.
Yin Ruoxi heard that Jiang Han was refining elixirs, and she was curious and wanted to follow him.
Jiang Han thought for a while but did not refuse. Sooner or later, he would have to hide his alchemy matter.
Yin Ruoxi's character seems to be okay, and it doesn't matter if she knows about it. And he doesn't know the power of his elixir. Maybe it's just an ordinary elixir?
