Today’s third update: Chapter 1030! 3/4!
…
In order to verify his inner conjecture, Xu Kun stretched out his hand and touched around the inside of the alchemy furnace.
"Mr. Shu, I know what the problem is!" Xu Kun's eyes were clear.
Mr. Shu's voice came: "Oh? Tell me!"
Xu Kun patted the alchemy furnace next to him and replied: "It's the problem with the alchemy furnace!"
"Although the Cinnamon Cardamom Pill is not a high-level pill, and among the B-level pills, it is not very difficult!"
"My steps are not wrong. What is wrong is that the situation I face is different from the default situation in the textbook!"
"This alchemy furnace is just the most ordinary mortal furnace. It is no problem to refine some low-level elixirs, but it is too difficult to refine B-level elixirs. Generally speaking, a person with alchemy skills reaching C-level If an alchemist only has a mortal furnace, he will be miserable!"
"Keep talking!" Mr. Shu said with interest.
Xu Kun took a deep breath: "The Jade Cinnamon Cardamom Pill itself does not have high requirements for the alchemy furnace and flames, so people including those who wrote the book have forgotten a problem by default. It is impossible for them to use a mortal furnace to refine the elixir. It is inferior. Alchemy furnaces can be found everywhere on the market, but if you change to a better one, you won’t encounter the problems I experienced!”
"what is the problem?"
"Thermal insulation!" Xu Kun said this answer seriously.
"A good alchemy furnace, in addition to being able to withstand high-temperature baking, has better absorption and conduction of flames. When it is high, it can maintain high temperature, and when it is low, it can maintain low temperature. And this is what this mortal furnace is used for." It can’t be done!”
"The time required to refine the Cinnamon and Cardamom Pills is neither short nor long. A simple furnace was left on the fire for too long, causing the temperature of the entire furnace to rise rapidly, and it was unable to cool down quickly after being removed from the fire. Therefore, after the alchemy is completed, the temperature of the alchemy furnace exceeds the temperature that the Cinnamon Cardamom Pill can withstand. Even at the moment when the elixir is made, the temperature of the alchemy furnace is still affecting the delicate Cinnamon Cardamom Pill!"
"You can't see any clues in the furnace, but once it comes out of the furnace, the problem will immediately appear!"
"I don't know if I'm right?"
Summary: The fire temperature is too high and the vegetables will be fried. To be precise, when the temperature of the elixir is still high when it is served, it will turn into a withered yellow color!
"Yes, yes, you can find this problem, which proves that you have broken away from the generalizations in the book!"
"Alchemy, especially high-level elixirs, has higher requirements in all aspects, because changes in some prerequisites will cause the correct steps originally recorded in the book to be changed in a timely manner. This is also what a qualified alchemist needs to do. Master the ability to adapt to changes in circumstances!”
"You won't get far if you just follow the script and follow the instructions!"
Mr. Shu confirmed Xu Kun’s conjecture.
The problem is found, so how to solve it?
"However, even though you have found the problem, certain conditions in the virtual space cannot be changed. You can still only use this mortal furnace and mortal fire to refine the Cinnamon Cardamom Pill!"
"At the beginning, Li Dongbi also discovered the problem that the remaining temperature of the alchemy furnace was not dissipated, causing the elixir to become too hot and wither. His solution was to use an alchemy technique called Blowing Fire Palm to instantly reduce the temperature of the elixir before it was completed. Although it was a trick to control the temperature of the alchemy furnace, it was indeed successful. What about you?"
Some people may say, just lower the fire temperature!
If that were the case, it would be impossible to condense the power of various medicinal materials into an elixir, and the elixir refining could be declared a failure without waiting for the elixir-making step!
However, the furnace with poor thermal insulation cannot lower its temperature as desired after a long period of flame roasting!
What needs to be solved is the problem of the alchemy furnace itself.
Or, like Li Dongbi, you can instantly cool the alchemy furnace!
When asked by Mr. Shu, Xu Kun calmed down and thought about how to deal with it!
"It seems that we have no choice but to take risks!" Xu Kun's eyes became extremely determined.
He is not Li Dongbi, and he does not have the secret skills of Dan sect as an auxiliary means!
The only thing that can be changed is the original regular alchemy process!
Let alone him, even a normal B-level alchemist would not dare to change the alchemy process at will!
Holding the alchemy furnace with one hand, Xu Kun didn't start his third and final alchemy until the temperature above it completely dropped!
Having made a mistake once, Xu Kun would not make it a second time. In the key step of placing the two major medicinal materials, Xu Kun did not make any mistakes again!
Smelling the fragrant elixir fragrance in the quiet room, Xu Kun keenly noticed that the fragrance was beginning to subside, and this time, he also made a crazy move!
Turn up the firepower!
If there was a B-level alchemist nearby at this time, he would definitely shout out: You are going to destroy this furnace pill!
But Xu Kun had no choice. This was the only solution he came up with, to risk his life and survive!
The fire did not last long. When the aroma of the medicine in the quiet room was almost gone, Xu Kun picked up the ear of the alchemy furnace, pulled it away from the fire, and placed it on the ground.
After another silent wait, Xu Kun's eyes quietly looked at the alchemy furnace leaving the fire.
"it's time!"
Xu Kun slapped open the furnace lid with one palm. This time he did not pour out the elixir inside, but kept it inside the furnace!
A burst of hot steam came out as the stove lid was lifted!
Through the hot air, you can see the crystal small pill beads at the bottom of the pill furnace, and the number of pills produced this time is ten!
The temperature of the alchemy furnace gradually dropped, and the brilliance on the ten elixirs gradually became restrained, until... the faint fragrance of elixirs wafted out from the inside of the alchemy furnace!
"It's done!"
Xu Kun's hands turned white because of his excitement!
With a slap on the furnace body, ten cinnamon and cardamom pills exuding the fragrance of pills were thrown out. Xu Kun took them. In terms of quality and quantity, this furnace of B-level pills was considered a great success!
The virtual space collapsed, and Xu Kun's hands were empty!
It was as if everything he had experienced was fake!
However, the first question on the assessment paper in front of me already showed two words "full score"!
This proves that he solved this first question perfectly with his own ability!
Mr. Lian Shu couldn't help but admired: "What a crazy boy. I thought of many ways to solve the problem, but I didn't expect your method of seeking death. Did you know that you were almost there just now? Huo Wen The critical point of this elixir has been reached. If it is one point more, the elixir will be completely useless. If it is one point less, the residual temperature will not be enough to support the completion of the elixir!"
"Should I praise you for your perfect control of the temperature, or should I praise you for your luck?"
Xu Kun smiled and said modestly: "It's both!"
Everything is difficult at the beginning. The first question of this A-level assessment almost made Xu Kun stumble. Xu Kun no longer has any contempt for it!
The knowledge you learn is, in the final analysis, a dead thing, just like even if it is an open-book exam and you are asked to copy it, you may not be able to copy it correctly!
For such a difficult assessment, in addition to laying a solid foundation, thinking and on-the-spot performance are also indispensable!
