Alchemy is a skill that every cultivator needs to master.
It’s not meant to be profound, but when you need to use it, you won’t be blinded by it.
The difficulty of refining elixir lies in the difficulty of controlling the temperature of the fire and the output of one's own true energy.
Today is also Ye Xuan's first time refining elixirs.
Whether it can succeed this time is of great significance to Ping An Ju. If it succeeds, it means that Ping An Ju will have another output that can be sold in the future.
Regardless of Longhu Tiaoyuan Dan or Fuzheng Guiyuan Dan, they are based on elixirs such as 'Bigu Dan' that replenish the body's needs, with the added function of regulating oneself and strengthening the muscles and bones.
Their value is far higher than Bigu Pill and slightly higher than Jingyuan Pill.
Moreover, the herbs needed are not expensive. Ye Xuan has medicinal seeds in his hands. Now that the fields can grow these herbs, there is no need to worry about the raw materials.
Meng Jiang, Yun Zhai, and Zhu Gangxi all gathered behind Ye Xuan, firstly to see if he could complete the alchemy, and secondly, if Ye Xuan was not strong enough, they could come over and help him at any time.
Zhu Gangxi was specially called by Ye Xuan to observe. Ye Xuan had already determined the direction of his training, and he would develop into an alchemy master in the future.
The Fuzheng Guiyuan Pill is a seventh-grade elixir. The Longhu Tiaoyuan Pill is unknown, but judging from the materials used, it is inferior to the Fuzheng Guiyuan Pill. Presumably the elixir cannot be compared to the Fuzheng Guiyuan Pill.
Therefore, Ye Xuan planned to refine a furnace of Dragon Tiger Pill first, and then refine the latter after accumulating some experience.
Turn on the fire and heat up the alchemy furnace.
During this process, Ye Xuan gradually became familiar with the contrast between the strength of the Qi output and the size of the firepower, and then began to refine the medicinal materials.
Various medicinal materials are lined up on the table next to the alchemy furnace according to the order of refining.
Each medicinal material has different requirements for heat, and refining them must follow a fixed sequence, so you have to switch back and forth between slow fire, strong fire, and medium fire.
The true energy spewed from Ye Xuan's mouth was sometimes strong and sometimes weak. The alchemy furnace was spinning upside down as the true energy was poured into it, causing the medicinal properties of many medicinal materials inside to mix and gradually mix.
Afterwards, there was continuous output of true energy for nearly an hour, with civil and military fire alternating to form elixirs.
He did not dare to relax for a moment, he was highly concentrated, and large beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
Refining ordinary elixirs actually consumes less infuriating energy. It mainly tests the mind's fine control of infuriating energy, which consumes a lot of the mind.
However, Ye Xuan is a very patient person. Although this step is quite difficult for him as a beginner, fortunately he can persevere.
An hour later, the flames gradually extinguished and he took back his true energy.
With a thought in mind, the transparent furnace cover opened, and a medicinal aroma mixed with a burnt smell emanated from the alchemy furnace.
The alchemy furnace was still scalding hot, and everyone couldn't reach in directly to take out the elixir, so they had to suppress their uneasiness and wait at the alchemy furnace.
Ye Xuan didn't feel much uneasy in his heart.
When he was preparing the elixir, he already had a rough judgment on the situation inside the furnace.
This is just like cooking. When a dish comes out of the pot, the person already knows how it will turn out.
In a furnace of medicinal materials, about 70% can be turned into elixirs, and the other 30% will be turned into waste.
The alchemy furnace cooled down completely, and the contents were revealed to everyone.
Sure enough, as Ye Xuan expected, there were more than thirty pills, and more than ten pills were burnt black and inedible, so they could only be used as fertilizer and sprinkled into the ground.
"This is the first time I have made an elixir, and the number of elixirs it has produced is so high, which is pretty good." Meng Jiang smiled and praised Ye Xuan.
Yue Yunzhai gathered all the elixirs into a magic bag and handed them to Ye Xuan: "Just by controlling the temperature of the alchemy, my lord's methods are already impressive."
Ye Xuan was very impressed by Meng Jiang's praise. When he heard what Yue Yunzhai said, he glared at him. He was so careless in flattering that he might as well not say anything.
According to the quantity and proportion of the medicinal materials contained in each elixir recipe, a whole batch of elixirs can be made.
It's just that the number of elixirs produced in each batch of elixirs is different.
For example, if a batch of Dragon and Tiger Pills has a 100% success rate, there will be 7,749 pills.
When refining a furnace of Fuzheng Guiyuan Pills, the number is thirty-five.
Ye Xuan accepted the sixteen Dragon and Tiger Pills as spares. The remaining twenty pills were divided into ten pills for Yue Yunzhai and six pills for Meng Jiang. He also gave the other four pills to Zhu Ganghe and let them mix with the others.
Beast distribution.
Then, he began to refine the Fuzheng Guiyuan Pill.
With his previous experience, Ye Xuan went smoothly in refining the Fuzheng Guiyuan Pill, a relatively high-grade elixir. An hour later, the number of completed pills was twenty-nine.
He still distributed the elixirs to everyone, and took a Fuzheng Guiyuan elixir himself to recover his own losses and replenish his true energy.
When refining elixirs like this, the output will always be small.
In the future, we must find a way to find a large refining formation, and then use a sixth-grade alchemy furnace as the center of the formation to teach a few medicine boys to make alchemy every day, so that the output can be continuous.
However, the refining array is generally only available at some medium and large power gates, and it should not be available in Yunshang Market.
You can only pay attention slowly.
As dusk approached, Ye Xuan, Meng Jiang, and Yue Yunzhai arrived at the field together.
Meng Jiang speculated that this was the time when the twin elves were reincarnated. He was dubious about this. After all, in ancient times, when human beings were injected with Qi, they looked the same as before. How could they be able to transform at dusk?
The kappas were assigned to build houses, and only three of them stood silently in the fields.
After two days of continuous reclamation, the number of acres of land in Ping'an Ju has increased to more than 300 acres. The nearly 200 acres of land close to the formation are already rich in soil fertility. This morning, Ye Xuan arranged for the kappa to plant a wave of medicinal herbs and grains.
kind.
White Dragon Spirit Tree saplings are also planted on those barren acres where the soil has not yet been activated by the formation.
The whirling spirit tree is already rich in earth power, and the new white dragon spirit tree is undoubtedly stronger than the previous generation in this aspect.
With the four ginseng, human dolls, thunder-breathing soil gate, and white dragon spirit tree constantly operating, this area will turn into fertile soil sooner or later.
Most areas of the Kuland are barren and barren, or no grass can grow. Most people do not even have the ability to transform the land. Only some Kuland people with cultivation skills may gather in tens of thousands to form a powerful force and choose dangerous and strategic places.
Build a mountain gate and try to cultivate the fields of your own power.
But the cultivated fields that are actually cultivated are only a few dozen acres.
There is no one like Ye Xuan who owns hundreds of acres of arable land.
Likewise, he was able to cultivate hundreds of acres of arable land. Chance, luck, hard work, and resources alone would not have contributed to the current situation.
On the field where the ginseng and soil dolls are buried, the ginseng leaves grow lushly and vigorously, catalyzing this acre of land, strengthening its fertility, endowing it with spirituality, and slowly transforming it into a spiritual field.
"Brother Taoist, in a hundred days, this acre of land will be completely turned into a spiritual field." Meng Jiang walked gently in the field, bent down and picked up a handful of soil, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed, and saw a man not far away.
Ye Xuandao, who was looking at the ginseng leaves, said, "Brother Taoist, you can transport more black mud from the Styx River, refine it and sprinkle it on these fields. The fertility will be stronger and the soil fertility will be improved."
Ye Xuan personally tested the effectiveness of black mud and knew that what Meng Jiang said was true.
However, the black mud required for a hundred acres of land cannot be contained even in his magic bag, so he has to go to the market to buy a new magic bag with a larger capacity and then make further plans.
He waved to Meng Jiang, asked her to come to him, dug out a young ginseng, and asked her to help check: "These ginsengs are not ginseng..."
The origin of this acre of ginseng is very troublesome to explain.
Facing Meng Jiang's confused gaze, Ye Xuan spent a lot of effort to finally let her understand that these ginseng were once grain seedlings, but after the centuries-old ginseng twinned, they mutated and turned into ginseng.
Today’s ginseng.
"From the appearance of these ginseng, I can see that they are indeed real ginseng. I can't see any similarities or differences with ordinary ginseng." Meng Jiang looked at the ginseng carefully and suddenly smiled and said, "Why don't we eat a ginseng at night to see?
How are they different from ordinary ginseng, what do you think? Brother Dao."
Yue Yunzhai also cast a keen look at Ye Xuan, obviously coveting the ginseng in this field for a long time.
Ye Xuan hesitated: "If something goes wrong with eating..."
"I'll eat first. After I finish eating, if there's no problem, I'll invite Brother Tao to eat." Meng Jiang looked like he was daring to be the first in the world.
There are very few things in the world that can poison her to death.
In this case, Ye Xuan was not the kind of person who waited for nothing, so he nodded in agreement.
At this time, a strong earthy smell mixed with sweet fragrance entered Ye Xuan's nostrils. He was slightly startled, and then looked at Meng Jiang, who nodded to him and whispered: "They are about to transform."
His mood suddenly became tense, and he, Meng Jiang, and Yue Yunzhai each surrounded the piece of land where the humanoid dolls were buried, looking at it eagerly.
At first, there was no change in the land, and the ginseng leaves on it were lush and green.
When the earthy smell mixed with sweetness became stronger and stronger, the ginseng leaves dried up and turned yellow, the leaves curled up little by little, and a gap opened in the soil.
The human figures and puppets are tightly connected, forming a large gray-white cocoon that floats into the air.
There are formations here that gather qi and transform dirt, and formations that generate all kinds of qi. After the large gray-white cocoon rose into the air, it struggled to absorb a lot of pure energy coming from around it, and the soil attached to the cocoon gradually faded away.
Furthermore, the color of the cocoon itself also changes from gray-white to translucent milky white.
There are ginseng-like tendrils and blood-like veins inside, entwined with two light spots, one red and one yellow.
Just like the whole process of baby's pregnancy.
At this point, the speed of the twin elves absorbing vitality suddenly accelerated, and a large amount of vitality rushed into the cocoon, and was absorbed by it.
The cocoon became more and more transparent, and even glowed faintly.
Ye Xuan frowned. He had just sensed it slightly and realized that whether it was the thunder shock soil gate or the energy gathering and pollution formation, the vitality provided was not enough to support the transformation process of the twin elves.
The transformation speed of the formation is particularly slow at this time.
Watching the two light spots in the cocoon gradually grow up, they are about to evolve into a physical form. If there is no supply of vitality at this time, you can imagine what will happen - they will inevitably be stillborn!
