Compared to other weapon refiners, formation masters, and talisman makers.
If you want to become an alchemist, you must not only be familiar with the medicinal properties of thousands of medicinal materials, but also know how different medicinal materials will react when paired together, neutralize medicinal properties, etc., and these are just prerequisites!
Very lively!
Refining alchemy is not just about putting medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace. Adding a handful of firewood can make the elixir. The heat must be moderate. If it is too high, the furnace will explode, and if it is too low, it will fail.
Then there are the impurities in the medicinal materials that need to be removed by the alchemist. How can they be removed?
There is no high-tech equipment here that can separate unnecessary microorganisms from the medicinal materials. Therefore, the alchemist needs something called Dan Fire.
Danhuo has good and bad qualities.
Whether an alchemist can possess elixir fire depends entirely on his understanding.
And this is not over yet, with the elixir fire, the alchemist must be as skilled as an arm in using the elixir fire, so that he can effectively remove impurities and accurately control the temperature of the fire.
The quality of Danhuo will also affect the effect of the finished product.
Shen Yi didn't know these things.
He only knew that to make alchemy, you need medicinal materials, an alchemy furnace, and fire, and then it was over...
After all, he only practices one type of elixir, and he doesn't really want to get into the industry.
There are too few alchemists. There are only two alchemists in Yunqiu City, which is why they are so popular.
But it doesn't mean that this is a good thing, just because there are too few. Almost every dynasty has such a law, which prohibits any family or force from harboring alchemists.
Although it wouldn't be enough to kill everyone, a fine of 10,000 taels would be enough to break his bones.
Each dynasty has a department called "Jiyuan Division", which records relevant information about all alchemists, regardless of whether they are in the mainstream or not. Those alchemists’ names, genders, where they live, how many children they have, how many wives they have, how much property they have, and their eighteen generations of ancestors, I’ll write them down clearly for you!
In other words, all alchemists are under the control of the royal family and are directly in their hands.
Some alchemists with rich experience and high elixir success rates will even be restricted from traveling.
As for the alchemists in Qingyuan Sect, they should be sent down to maintain the rules.
The restrictions are too harsh, and the royal family is afraid that too many people will have different intentions.
Therefore, Shen Yi will never enter the industry. It's OK to secretly practice Yun Beast Dan to reward himself. If he really wants to enter the industry, he will have to become the ancestral dragon queen.
People say how difficult it is to make alchemy, how it tests one's understanding, and shuts out countless geniuses.
But Shen Yi didn't have an accurate understanding of this. He had a mysterious confidence in his own understanding.
Isn't alchemy a must for time travellers?
Making alchemy is as easy as eating and drinking water, why can't I?
What a joke!
Just like in ancient China, people's skills here are passed on from within to outsiders, and anyone who steals their skills will be beaten to death!
He didn't know if anyone in the alchemy hall would stop him, cause trouble, and anger the alchemist inside, so he wouldn't be able to learn secretly.
After hesitating in place for a while, Shen Yi pretended to be wandering and walked into it.
"I'm not a human being, how could Longlong steal his master..."
There are not many disciples in the alchemy hall, most of them are handyman disciples running errands. The outer disciples cannot see them, and there are only a few inner disciples.
Empty.
Some of the nervousness slowly relaxed. Some people were surprised by his appearance and whispered to each other, but they did not stop him.
"You're famous..." His eyes flashed, and Shen Yi didn't know what he was thinking.
What those handyman disciples talked about was how amazingly powerful the dragon's breath they breathed out was a mixed bag of good and bad.
People will be afraid of themselves and will not easily provoke them.
But at the same time, it will make others fear the old witch. Her situation will be very dangerous, and Shen Yi doesn't want to be buried with her.
This is a nuisance.
After checking the invisible but intangible but indeed existing connection anchors in the body, he called the mysterious energy in his body "vital energy".
Anyway, just call it.
The vitality has been consuming the contact anchor point, but the progress is too slow. It will be a long time until the contact anchor point is completely consumed.
"Alas, you can't even be considered a white-eyed wolf."
I'm a little depressed, I always feel a sense of confinement, but I can't figure out where it comes from.
Infected by the world of mortals?
probably……
Smelling the smell, Shen Yi walked around a screen wall and soon arrived at the depths of the alchemy hall.
The sunlight coming through the roof was a little weak, but more of a beating firelight. The dazzling and soft light were actually mixed together, which was very strange.
Under the alchemy furnace that was as tall as a person, silk-like flames tried to completely wrap it, but it could never cross that line.
Next to the alchemy furnace, an old man was fanning a cattail leaf fan. From time to time, he would throw the dried ingredients into his mouth and chew them. The white smoke on the alchemy furnace was as thin as a thread.
"Is this the alchemist?" The old man was wearing a dark blue robe. The moment he saw him, Shen Yi's originally relaxed muscles immediately tensed up.
If anything goes wrong, he will run away immediately!
He didn't stop completely, but his movements became more cautious, and he tentatively moved closer to the alchemy furnace, wanting to see how it worked inside.
And when Shen Yi was about twenty or thirty meters away from the old man, the other party seemed to notice something.
Without turning around, a slightly older voice came over.
"Yi Fu, why don't you go sort out the ingredients for Pei Yuan Dan now that you're here?"
After he finished speaking, he shook the cattail leaf fan in his hand.
Shen Yi glanced back and saw that there was no one behind him, and his name was not Yifu.
He didn't move, but he wanted to be courteous, but how could he know that the ingredients of Peiyuan Dan were some stuff?
After a few breaths passed like this, the old man finally realized that "Yi Fu" had not moved. He turned around and was stunned when he saw that it was such a weird beast like Shen Yi.
"It's not Yifu. It's really strange...whose destiny god are you? Why are you here?"
Some of the worries were relieved. This was indeed an alchemist. He seemed to have no ill intentions. After he turned around, Shen Yi's entire gaze shifted to his face.
As a contract beast, Shen Yi came to the alchemy hall privately, which surprised him.
Similarly, Shen Yi was particularly surprised by his unique appearance.
"Good guy, it's really strange. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known that someone would look like this."
This alchemist does look very... that...
It’s not good-looking, but I can’t say it’s ugly, it’s a bit disrespectful.
How should I put it? The flesh on the other person's face stretched out in long stretches, stacked on top of each other, and as the expression changed, the facial features were squeezed out of sight.
Moreover, his skin color is a deep red that normal people should not have, but the loose flesh on his face gives people a very delicate feeling.
Extremely weird.
"Is it because he often refines alchemy?" Shen Yi thought. If this is the case, the alchemist will have to pay a heavy price.
Although Shen Yi is not someone who has too many requirements for his appearance, if he looked like this in his previous life, he would definitely not be able to accept it.
