For the old man, he has no hope of getting stronger. But Zhong Jingyi is different. She is still young. If she can become stronger, it might not be a good thing.
That's why the old man excluded himself and left the opportunity to Zhong Jingyi.
"Well, let's make the elixir first, and I will teach Xiaoyi how to operate it later..."
Li Ziqing nodded, his hands were not idle, and he immediately removed all three legs of Ding.
Then, the next question comes, because the bottom of the tripod is curved, which can better receive heat when heated with firewood.
But the induction cooker is flat, so if you put such a tripod on it, it would definitely not be stable, and the heat would not be even.
So without any hesitation, Li Ziqing turned his fist into a palm and struck it with a fierce palm.
"Dang, Dang, Dang..."
The sound of metal collisions continued to be heard, and in the eyes of everyone's astonishment, the round-bottomed alchemy furnace was forcibly turned into a flat bottom by Li Ziqing.
"Gudong..."
Everyone couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and couldn't help but think about what would happen if the tripod was replaced by a human being.
What is absolutely certain is that if it were a human being, he would probably be beaten to death by Li Ziqing with just two palms, and his internal organs would also be broken into pieces.
"Finally the transformation is complete." Li Ziqing wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the completely transformed furnace body in front of him. Li Ziqing nodded with great satisfaction.
After putting it on the induction cooker and checking it, Li Ziqing smiled and said, "Okay, we can finally start refining the elixir."
The corners of Mr. Zhong's mouth twitched. Li Ziqing really went too far. He spent a lot of effort to find a reclusive blacksmith to build this alchemy furnace.
Now that it has been dismantled like this, if he says he doesn't feel distressed, it must be a lie.
But then I thought about it, I no longer need to refine the elixir here anyway. If Li Ziqing wants to refine it, let him do it. If it really succeeds, it can be regarded as fulfilling the old man's wish.
Why does Li Ziqing use an induction cooker to refine elixirs instead of traditional firewood refining?
In fact, the reason is very simple, because the refining method recorded in the primary elixir refining encyclopedia produced by the system is to use an induction cooker for refining.
At first, Li Ziqing felt a little stunned. After all, alchemy has been made with firewood since ancient times, and it felt awkward to use an induction cooker.
But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this thing really made some sense. Using an induction cooker to refine it not only would not cause any danger, but the refining process would also be easier.
After all, the most troublesome thing about refining alchemy, and what is most likely to lead to failure, is temperature control. If you use firewood, you cannot perfectly control the temperature. If the temperature is too high, the medicine will be burned directly, causing the alchemy to fail. If the temperature is too low, it will cause the elixir to fail.
It is easy to cause the elixir condensation to fail and fall short of success.
But the induction cooker is different. As long as the temperature is set, it can maintain a constant temperature. As long as the induction cooker is not broken and the temperature does not have too much error, refining the elixir is just a process.
The process of refining an elixir is actually not complicated. You only need to extract the essence of the medicine first, then use it in batches, and finally condense it into an elixir.
Of course, it sounds simple but is still very complicated to do. First of all, in terms of extraction, Li Ziqing had already spent a lot of time and used countless methods to extract the medicinal liquid to the point where it could be used as medicine.
But now that the extraction has been completed, the next step is much simpler. The induction cooker Li Ziqing bought is not the kind used at home. The temperature raised by the kind used at home cannot reach the kind used for alchemy.
So he used a high-power industrial furnace, which not only can raise the temperature to very high levels, but is also extremely efficient.
…
After turning on the furnace and setting the temperature and time according to the Alchemy Encyclopedia, Li Ziqing and others waited quietly for the temperature of the furnace to increase.
After confirming that the furnace temperature had reached his expectations, Li Ziqing no longer hesitated. After taking a deep breath, he poured the first medicinal liquid into the measuring cup and started his first refining.
Although this is indeed Li Ziqing's first time refining medicine, in his mind, this kind of thing has already been like an animation and he has experienced it countless times.
When the first medicinal material had condensed to a certain extent, Li Ziqing added the second medicinal material, then the third, fourth...
I don't know how long it took, but after the last medicinal ingredients were put into the furnace, Li Ziqing finally closed the furnace and quietly waited for the elixir to condense.
A few minutes later, Li Ziqing took a deep breath and turned on the furnace. His hands instantly turned into an afterimage. Using a special technique, he used a special technique to pull out six evenly distributed pills.
, and put it into the porcelain bottle that had been prepared.
"It's done, it's done? Is it done?"
Standing there with a dull expression on his face, the alchemy process that Li Ziqing showed was truly beyond Mr. Zhong's imagination.
You know, his process of refining the elixir is countless times more complicated than this, not to mention you, and the chance of success is also appallingly low.
"It's done," Li Ziqing chuckled and nodded, "otherwise, what do you think?"
Mr. Zhong found that he was a little autistic. After thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "This is very different from what I imagined. How did something as complicated as alchemy come into your hands? It's so simple.
Already?"
"It's very simple," Li Ziqing spread his hands and explained, "You have walked into a misunderstanding."
"What misunderstanding?" Mr. Zhong looked at Li Ziqing blankly, wondering what misunderstanding he had walked into.
"If it belongs to the ancestors, it must be better than now. They have completely lost their creative ability." Li Ziqing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, pointing out the biggest problem that Mr. Zhong has now.
His heart skipped a beat, and Li Ziqing's words were like the sound of thunder, going straight into the old man's heart.
Yes, I have been looking for the classics left by my ancestors over the years. Isn't what I do is to learn from the experience of my ancestors?
Although this behavior was correct, he was obsessed with the past and completely forgot about innovation. The result was that he would never be able to surpass his ancestors in his entire life and could only live in their shadow.
But Li Ziqing is different. He knows how to use the things left by his ancestors and think about and improve them.
Just like now, we can use the high-tech items we already have to simplify the process of alchemy and easily refine the elixir.
