The old beggar explained to Zhang Xiaozu one by one in detail the medicinal properties of the thirteen medicinal materials and two spiritual materials used to refine the Star Pill, as well as the matters that need to be paid attention to when refining the pill.
Zhang Xiaozu gradually became fascinated by what he heard.
In fact, he somewhat understood some of the basic knowledge about alchemy that the old beggar talked about.
Although there were no alchemy masters in the memories he ingested, there were a few people who were somewhat involved in alchemy. He learned a lot of alchemy knowledge through the memories of these people.
But there are many tiny details in the old beggar's story.
These small details seemed insignificant, but when Zhang Xiaozu associated them with the process of alchemy, he found that these small details are important factors that cannot be ignored, because they are related to whether the elixir can be made, and whether the elixir is good or bad. kind of points.
"You need medicinal materials to make elixirs, and you also need an alchemy furnace..."
The old beggar looked at Zhang Xiaopou and paused.
"???????????????No, I didn't."
Zhang Xiaozu shook his head repeatedly, his vigilance unabated.
"Ha ha…"
The old beggar couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw the expression on Zhang Xiaopou's face that said, "I won't be fooled."
After laughing, he took out a golden pill furnace from the void space.
More than half a foot tall.
The belly is big and the mouth is thin, like a gourd.
There are many ancient inscriptions carved on the alchemy furnace.
Zhang Xiaozu looked carefully and found that the ancient inscriptions on the alchemy furnace looked a bit like the Taoist Bagua patterns, but they were a hundred times more complex than the Bagua patterns he knew.
"There is medicine, there is a stove, and there must be fire."
"Fire can be wood, ordinary fire, or it can be spiritual fire from heaven and earth."
"But the temperature of ordinary fire is limited. If you encounter elixirs and spiritual materials that are not afraid of high temperatures, you will be helpless. Therefore, ordinary fire can generally only be used to refine some ordinary elixirs."
"That is to say, if you want to be a qualified alchemist, you must have your own alchemy fire."
"If the alchemist can reach a state of mind-connection with the alchemy fire, then he can control the fire as he pleases."
"In addition to medicine, furnaces, and fire, there are many related factors, such as spiritual energy, five elements, climate environment, and even mountains, terrain, stars, and celestial phenomena, etc. You will slowly experience these in the future."
"I will simply refine a batch of star elixirs for you to observe and learn from."
After saying that, the old beggar raised his hand towards the mountain and grabbed some dry firewood.
Start a fire and burn the furnace.
First pour some spiritual liquid into the furnace, and then add the elixir and spiritual materials one by one.
His left hand is like a cattail leaf fan, gently shaking towards the firewood flame, sometimes fanning the fire bigger, sometimes suppressing the fire smaller, sometimes letting the flame move forward, sometimes letting the flame move backward...
And his right hand was always attached to the furnace wall, just like a doctor taking a patient's pulse, feeling the surge of medicinal power in the alchemy furnace.
Zhang Xiaozhu unfolded his mind in detail and did not want to miss every detail.
When the alchemy fragrance began to float out of the alchemy furnace and the process entered the second half, the old beggar suddenly tapped the alchemy furnace with his fingers attached to it.
With the vibration of this knock, the air flow in the alchemy furnace suddenly turned sharply.
"That's okay!"
Zhang Xiaozu's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had discovered a new world.
call!
At the critical moment of condensing the elixir, the old beggar suddenly slapped his left hand, and the flame instantly rose up and enveloped the entire elixir furnace.
Lasting for about two breaths, his right hand suddenly made a secret and shot a spell at the alchemy furnace.
This spell wrapped in flames instantly disappeared into the alchemy furnace.
Zhang Xiaozu's eyes lit up again.
Then the old beggar pressed his left hand to put out the firewood under the stove.
Just listen to a series of tiny clicking sounds coming from the alchemy furnace.
Zhang Xiaozu knew that this was the sound of the Star Pill condensing.
Then the alluring fragrance of the Star Pill floated out of the pill furnace.
Just by smelling the fragrance of the elixir, Zhang Xiaozu knew that the refining of the furnace elixir was very successful.
Sure enough, after the furnace temperature dropped, the old man opened the furnace lid and took out twenty star pills from the furnace.
The pills are round, full in color, the stars are dazzling, and the elixir is fragrant. The quality is much better than the star elixirs on the market.
"Elixir recipes and methods of refining are all developed by people. Everyone has their own ideas. Different ideas will naturally lead to different elixir refining techniques, so there is no need to stick to rules and regulations, and you must have your own ideas."
"Learn and apply, observe more and think more, explore more and experiment more, only in this way can you achieve great achievements."
"Here, let's try the elixir I refined. What's the difference between the elixirs I refined and the rubbish elixirs on the market?"
The old beggar raised his hand and threw a star pill to Zhang Xiaopou.
Zhang Xiaozu stretched out his hand to catch it. He felt that he had seen countless star pills, none of which could match the quality of this one. He admired the old beggar's alchemy skills in his heart.
He put the elixir into his mouth with great expectation and cracked it gently with his teeth.
Then his face suddenly changed and he opened his mouth to spit out the elixir, but it was too late.
boom!
A violent force exploded in Zhang Xiaozu's mouth, flying him out and falling into the forest below with a bang.
"ah!"
Ye Mingyue was so frightened that her face turned pale.
"Ahaha..." "Little thing, you dare to curse me to be struck by lightning."
"I'm giving you a big firecracker to see if you dare to be venomous in the future?"
"Cool!"
The old beggar stood in the air and pinched his waist, laughing so hard that his beard flew up. He felt refreshed and happy.
"ah--"
"Old guy, I'm going to kill you!"
Zhang Xiaozu flew out of the mountain forest with disheveled hair, his face covered in black gray, and black smoke was emitting from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose.
It's like my brain is on fire.
His mind was indeed on fire, but it was rage.
He couldn't imagine what a tragic end he would have had if he hadn't noticed it and failed to defend himself in time.
"Little thing, go ahead and eat your shit!"
The old beggar patted Zhang Xiaopou's butt happily, then disappeared into the void and left, leaving only Zhang Xiaopou's back.
"Your uncle!"
"If I don't take revenge for this, I swear I won't be a human being!"
Zhang Xiaozu looked up to the sky and roared angrily.
Smoke rings floated out of his mouth as he roared.
This situation made Ye Mingyue, who was originally very worried about him, laugh.
Wow!
A scroll suddenly fell from the sky.
Ye Mingyue stepped forward and took it in her hand, opened it and took a look. She couldn't help showing a look of surprise on her face. She looked at Zhang Xiaozu and shouted: "Xiaozu, the old man left you a book, which seems to be a pharmacopoeia and pharmacology."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Xiaozu was overjoyed when he heard this.
But just as the smile spread halfway on his face, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. After all, he was the Saint Ancestor of the Star Saint Realm. How could he be enslaved by such a clumsy method of giving a candy to a stick? He should continue to be angry, so he smiled half-heartedly. A half-smile froze on his face.
"snort!"
"Bring it to me for inspection."
"Maybe it's something harmful again."
Zhang Xiaozu said with a straight face.
Ye Mingyue smiled and handed the book into his hand.
The book is very thick…
No, it's extremely thick.
It is about one foot long and wide, and almost two feet thick.
Zhang Xiaozu flipped through the pages, a happy smile showing on his face stained with black dust.
Facts have proved that whether the trick of hitting a stick and giving a candy works or not depends not on who the target is, but whether the candy is sweet enough.
He rummaged quickly and found several medicinal and spiritual materials for refining the Broken Star Pill. After remembering their medicinal properties and effects, he simulated the refining process several times in his mind, then took out the pill furnace and couldn't wait to refine it. Control it.
