"Huh? Let's start with processing the medicinal materials first?"
Seeing Meng Xingyuan's actions, Mr. Yan's eyebrows immediately wrinkled.
The processing of medicinal materials is not impossible, but it is not necessary.
The refining of medicinal pills is actually just a process of extraction, fusion, aggregation, and transformation of several medicinal herbs. There is no need to use specific medicinal material processing methods at all.
The processing of real medicinal materials is also an extremely profound knowledge. It involves a lot of professional knowledge and professional theories, and often only real alchemists can come into contact with and master it.
If you don't know how to pretend to understand, and learn and use it indiscriminately, it will only be counterproductive, and it will only increase the effectiveness of your efforts. Maybe in the end, the alchemy that could have turned into an elixir will fall short.
And like what Meng Xingyuan did last time, it doesn't deserve to be called 'medicinal material processing'. At most, it can only be regarded as artificial removal of the rough and the essence. If you are a little careless or careless, not only will you not be able to remove the roughness, you will not be able to extract the essence, you may also cause injuries.
The efficacy of the medicinal materials themselves is affected, resulting in a decrease in their potency and seriously affecting the refining of the elixir.
If it hadn't been for the help of [Appraisal Technique] last time, Meng Xingyuan would have never been able to succeed.
This time too, when he saw that Meng Xingyuan was planning to use the same trick to be clever, Mr. Yan immediately raised his eyebrows, and his feelings about him suddenly worsened.
"The sneaky kid."
Shaking his head, he soon lost interest in Meng Xingyuan and turned his head to the other candidates.
Meng Xingyuan was concentrating at this time and did not pay any attention to the gaze of Mr. Yan. He was recalling the alchemy knowledge deep in his mind and thinking about what he should do.
Based on his current knowledge, he knows that the success of [Rejuvenation Pill] actually depends on the two main materials named [Yu Vine] and [Resurrection Flower]. As long as these two main materials are dealt with,
By releasing its medicinal properties and maintaining its activity during the refining process, it is almost difficult to fail in refining [Rejuvenation Pill].
However, he did not start working on the main material right away.
After all, the knowledge in his memory is just theory. He has never practiced it or tried that special processing method, so naturally he does not dare to try it randomly.
He would first practice with ordinary and smaller auxiliary materials. After he became proficient, he planned to deal with the two main plants.
He did not touch the jade slip for refining the [Rejuvenation Pill] on the left hand side.
As the inherited memory of the Alchemy Sage, it is naturally impossible not to include the prescriptions of fifth-grade medicinal pills.
Meng Xingyuan didn't even need to look at the elixir in the jade slip to know that the prescription in it was definitely incomparable to the elixir in his mind.
He carefully counted the two medicinal materials in front of the case. Sure enough, with his eyes, he immediately discovered that the medicinal materials given in the assessment were more than double what was needed for the prescription in his mind.
!
This is interesting.
You must know that refining elixirs does not mean the more medicinal materials used, the better. Refining elixirs is an absolutely delicate job. The four words "just right" absolutely apply to the way of alchemy.
Unless you are a real alchemy master, no one would dare to change the ingredients listed on a medicinal elixir, even for the simplest first-grade medicinal elixir.
Because adding one point or missing one point will directly lead to the failure of elixir refining.
Meng Xingyuan knew that the recipe for [Rejuvenation Pill] in his mind was passed down from the hand of the only Alchemy Sage in the history of Medicine King Palace, so there could of course be no error.
And since Mr. Yan has provided them with so many medicinal materials, and the two copies are exactly the same, it means that these are all needed. Compared with the Alchemy Sage's recipe, the required medicinal materials are twice as many, but this recipe can still make the elixir.
, this has to be amazing.
Shaking his head, Meng Xingyuan was too lazy to think about it.
Anyway, it was impossible for him to make an elixir according to the elixir recipe recorded on the jade slip on the left hand side. After thinking about it, he started to separate the extra part from the two medicinal materials.
Then, he took the extra medicinal materials and started practicing...
The other candidates had already started to boil the medicine according to the instructions of the elixir recipe, and were preparing to make the elixir on fire. When Mr. Yan turned around, he found that Meng Xingyuan had not even started the elixir fire, and was still processing the medicinal materials!
"Alas," he shook his head helplessly, "rotten wood cannot be carved."
This time, he really gave up on Meng Xingyuan. He didn't bother to care about him. He just focused on a little girl he was quite fond of, nodding his head from time to time to show his appreciation.
On Meng Xingyuan's side, when the medicinal materials that came out were almost destroyed by him, he finally stopped, swept the waste materials aside, and with a "pop", a fire started.
In the main hall, it was quiet at this time. Everyone's attention was on the elixir fire under their own elixir furnace, and they were carefully controlling it. Suddenly they heard the sound of a fire, and some people's hands shook, and they almost lost their sleeves and robes.
Burned.
"Damn it, who is this! The elixir fire is rising now? Sun!"
Many people were secretly cursing in their hearts that there was fire, but this was not the time to get angry. If the elixir fire got out of control, all the elixirs would be useless.
There are only two medicinal materials provided for the assessment. If one is wasted, the chance of passing the test will be half lost. Who dares to do this?
Mr. Yan turned his gaze around and found that it was this boy again. His face suddenly became dissatisfied, and the look of disgust in his eyes was already very obvious.
Just when he was about to warn this boy, his eyes suddenly froze!
Meng Xingyuan... is still processing the medicinal materials!
It's just that the medicinal materials he is dealing with now are not like he used to do during the second-level assessment. He was clumsily tearing and dismembering them bit by bit with his hands.
At this moment, I saw that his five fingers were bent into claws, and the bones of his knuckles were bulging, as if there was a force contained in them, as if they were about to explode, and he felt full of power.
His entire palm now exuded a faint aura of spiritual power. This aura was very light but very pure, as if it was through a special method that the spiritual power could be suppressed like this.
Under the control of spiritual power, his five-fingered palm twitched rapidly like a phantom, together with his arms and elbows, like a cloud dragon traveling between the clouds, with a hidden rhythm.
In the meantime.
In his hands are individual medicinal plants. Since they are provided to disciples for assessment, the Medicine King Palace will never begrudge them. Although they dare not say that they are picked fresh, each flavor is fresh enough and the medicinal properties are maintained.
It's also quite perfect.
However, it can be seen at this time that every time Meng Xingyuan's convulsive hands touch the medicinal materials in front of the case, as if by magic, each medicinal plant changes its appearance instantly, and each medicinal plant that was originally a little sluggish suddenly becomes
It is as green as jade, as if it is still living in the fertile soil and has never been picked!
"This, this is... a technique?!" Mr. Yan's expression suddenly froze, "This kid... he is actually proficient in one technique? How is this possible!"
