Before he obtained the Tusita Pill Jue, Xiao Zhen's talent and potential in alchemy could only be considered average. However, after he patiently studied the alchemy book, his knowledge and understanding of alchemy had been improved by several levels, and along with it he
The aura exuded when refining alchemy is no less than those of alchemists who have been studying for decades.
If not for this, Xiao Zhen would not be able to completely intimidate Su Zifeng, a genius in alchemy, with just one opening move.
Of course, Xiao Zhen just followed his usual habit of refining alchemy and completely forgot that there were three living people standing next to him.
After he had completely settled his thoughts, he was still getting familiar with the alchemy furnace and fire eye in front of him in a leisurely manner. It was the first time for him to use these instruments and they were very unfamiliar.
Only by fully controlling them can they exert their greatest effect. Otherwise, as long as there is a small mistake in the middle, all previous efforts may be wasted.
The three onlookers on the side, who were used to all kinds of big scenes, were waiting quietly. Unlike the two fancy girls, Grandma Fu was obviously watching more carefully.
From the moment she first saw Xiao Zhen, her attention has never left this person. She vaguely heard some rumors, as if the old man intended to marry him, so she had to observe him from multiple angles.
Xiao Zhen knew nothing about this. At this time, he had already been immersed in alchemy.
The Lingyuan Pill refined today sounds simple, but it actually tests the alchemist's basic skills, especially in the initial stage of tempering the medicine, which is related to the final pill.
Because Lingyuan Grass is only a first-level spiritual grass, it contains very little spiritual energy. You can only get up to twelve strands at most. If you accidentally waste too much of the spiritual energy inside when quenching the medicine, the final amount of the elixir will be certain.
It's not enough.
During normal refining, the alchemist would definitely not care about this. However, since it was a test, Xiao Zhen had to be more cautious.
To be honest, he was still suffocating in his heart. Who made the reputation of Slow Fire Alchemy not obvious and being looked down upon by others? As a qualified alchemist, he must rectify the name of Slow Fire Alchemy and not let others continue to despise it.
Already.
Perhaps this mentality played a role. When quenching the medicine, Xiao Zhen worked steadily and did not rush forward. It only took half an hour to peel off nine strands of spiritual energy.
Such a start was completely beyond Xiao Zhen's expectations. Although he had not refined the Lingyuan Pill for a long time, he remembered that his most successful time was only to peel off seven strands of spiritual energy.
The alchemy master's rate of elixir formation is generally the same. Unless the alchemy skills have been greatly improved, such a big leap would be possible.
Not only Xiao Zhen was frightened, but Su Zifeng on the side was also extremely shocked. In her opinion, no matter how good the alchemy with gentle fire is, it is not as good as the alchemy with martial fire. Otherwise, why has the former declined so much and can't compare with the latter no matter how hard it is?
She estimated in her mind that only her master's level could use martial fire alchemy to equal Xiao Zhen's level.
It can be seen that Xiao Zhen does not care about the opinions of others. He controls the flames more carefully, constantly letting them lick the impurities attached to the spiritual energy. Only when all their impurities are refined can it be considered complete.
The following time became monotonous and boring again. However, Xiao Zhen still carried out meticulously and did not dare to let down his guard at all. He had to keep these hard-won pills.
However, his accumulation was still a bit insufficient. As the impurities on the pills became less and less, Xiao Zhen felt more and more exhausted. At his current level, he could only take care of five pills at most. If he had more, he would be exhausted.
It's beyond his ability.
Sure enough, he just ignored it for a moment, and the two pills disappeared into ashes.
At this time, in front of Xiao Zhen, he could either give up two more pills and guarantee five pills; or he could continue to persevere, but the final number of pills could not be guaranteed, it might be six, it might be seven.
There may be four pieces, or there may be only three pieces left.
It can be said that suddenly, life hangs by a thread.
At this critical moment, Xiao Zhen gritted his teeth and fought hard. He directly used the method of tempering the alchemy base obtained from the Tusita Alchemy Jue.
Different from the last time, this time the elixir was just a wisp of spiritual energy and was extremely fragile. If it were an accident, there would be no way to remedy it.
Perhaps it was Xiao Zhen's lucky day, or perhaps the elixir formula was unique in the world, but the seven elixirs in the elixir furnace were unscathed and slowly condensed into the shape of elixirs.
At this moment, Xiao Zhen felt completely relieved.
Another incense-burning time passed, and as Xiao Zhen slapped the furnace lid open, seven Lingyuan Pills the size of soybeans flew out along with a burst of pill energy.
Xiao Zhen picked up the plate next to him and took them all.
I saw seven nearly transparent round beads scattered on the plate, with a floating smoke lingering in the center of the beads.
These are genuine first-order Lingyuan Pills. Looking at them, Xiao Zhen felt quite complicated. Such a result clearly exceeded his usual level of alchemy.
"Congratulations, Master Xiao." At this time, Grandma Fu smiled broadly and seemed to be in a happy mood.
"Brother Taoist is a wizard in alchemy, which is an eye-opener for this little girl." Looking carefully, Su Zifeng's eyes were shining with some light.
If someone who knew her well saw it, they would definitely be surprised. Despite her always pleasant appearance, she is notoriously strict about alchemy. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to get a compliment from her.
.
"Xiao Zhen, you are very good." Chen Yinwei stared at it with wide eyes, curiously picked up a Lingyuan Pill with her hands, and put it directly into her mouth, just like chewing jelly beans.
"This elixir is good, you can hardly feel the smoke." After eating, she objectively gave some opinions.
Generally speaking, any elixir obtained by using fire refining method will inevitably contain a trace of smoke and smoke. Only a highly skilled alchemy master can turn them into intangibles.
Can it be avoided by using slow fire to make elixirs? Chen Yinwei couldn't help but fell into deep thought. If this is the case, then she can definitely put this idea into her water method for elixirs!
Thinking of this, Chen Yinwei jumped up and down with excitement as if she had discovered something extraordinary.
It turned out that Chen Yinwei, who was born in a family of alchemists, did not have the fire spirit root, and could not use the fire control technique as finely as her father and brothers. However, she had been exposed to this alchemy technique since she was a child, and she preferred this alchemy technique. Therefore, she searched through the collection of books at home.
I unexpectedly learned that besides fire refining, there is also water refining method.
It is a pity that the water refining method she inherited is incomplete and far from meeting the requirements for alchemy. Therefore, in the past five or six years, she has searched for all the alchemists in Yaowang Valley and looked at various
Various fire methods for alchemy, but still cannot be completely reproduced.
This has almost become a worry for her.
Unexpectedly, when she was at her wits' end, she saw a new idea in front of this young man.
