In the wing room in the backyard of Sanxian Mountain Hall, together with the Sun and Moon Furnace, a total of ten alchemy furnaces formed a circle, surrounding Hu Mingxian in the middle.
Hu Mingxian controlled the virtual and real true flame in his left hand and the jade lotus fire in his right hand with the power of his soul. He separated the two flames and began to warm the ten pill furnaces. At the same time, he was familiar with the muscle-building and bone-building pills over and over again in the sea of consciousness. of Danfang.
The flame temperature required to extract each medicinal liquid, the sequence of refining and refining each medicinal material, when each medicinal material is fused together, etc.
Having had the experience of refining the Golden Yang Po Er Dan once, and the experience of thirty failed attempts to refine the muscle-building and bone-building pills before, Hu Mingxian was actually no stranger to refining third-level pills, not to mention having an epiphany. With the blessing of experience, the success rate is not a problem.
The key is that there is only one month, and the demand for elixirs is huge. If you just refine it one furnace after another, you won't be able to refine many elixirs at all.
Therefore, now he wants ten furnaces of elixirs to be refined at the same time.
The proficiency in mastering the alchemy fire, the proficiency in the elixir recipe... these are the foundation of alchemy for the alchemist. Refining one batch of elixirs requires the alchemist's full concentration, let alone refining ten batches of elixirs at the same time. The energy consumed can be imagined.
After the furnace was successfully heated, Hu Mingxian took a deep breath and ran the "real dragon" with all his strength. Suddenly, two flames evolved into flaming dragons, circling and flying in the void. With a thought, they all rushed towards the neatly arranged Among medicinal materials.
These flame dragons were divided into ten teams, and seventy-eight of them were divided into each team. Each one was wrapped with a medicinal plant, and the melting point of each medicinal plant was different.
In other words, Hu Mingxian first divided the power of the soul into ten parts, each part controlled a team of flame dragons, and then divided it into seventy-eight parts, controlling each flame dragon to refine each medicinal plant, In this way, the power of the soul was divided into seven hundred and eighty parts.
Of course, it is not as simple as the numbers seem, because the melting point of each medicinal plant is different, and the degree of control of the seventy-eight divided powers of the soul in each piece of soul power is different.
Some medicinal materials have a relatively low melting point, and other medicinal materials may have just started to be refined and have already been refined here. It is necessary to maintain the refining process of medicinal materials with high melting points while not over-refining medicinal materials with low melting points, resulting in the loss of medicinal materials. It was directly incinerated.
This is just the manipulation of two medicinal materials with different melting points. One vitality bone-building pill requires seventy-eight parts of medicinal materials, and the degree of use of the soul is unimaginable.
More importantly, there is an essential difference between the two types of elixir fire he used. The same medicinal material has the same melting point, but with different flames, there will be huge differences...
If any other alchemist had witnessed all this with his own eyes, he would definitely have spoken out to stop Hu Mingxian as soon as possible, because doing so would not yield any other results except a waste of medicinal materials.
However, for Hu Mingxian, it is not impossible!
The experience of repeatedly breaking Dantian and spiritual veins for himself and others, and protecting every fragment of Dantian and meridians with the power of the soul, has subtly strengthened Hu Mingxian's use of the power of the soul time and time again.
Each time the Dantian and spiritual veins are broken, the fragments are not exactly the same in size. When tempered with virtual and real true flames, the tempering time of each fragment is naturally different. This is not the same as the current ten-furnace elixir being refined at the same time. The production process has many similarities.
The only difference is that he needs to control two kinds of elixir fire.
It's just this difference, and the difference derived from it is by no means as simple and straightforward as 1+1=2.
It was precisely because of this experience that he had enough confidence this time to dare to refine ten furnaces of elixirs at the same time.
Of course, if Xia Yunhe had not been in seclusion, she would have given Hu Mingxian a great boost with the power of her soul, whether it was helping Hu Mingxian recover the energy spent in alchemy, or helping Hu Mingxian carry out so many and complicated alchemy processes.
Fortunately, although there were some twists and turns in this process, he resolved them all.
The main reason is that the refining of medicinal materials is too tedious and time-consuming. If you are not careful, a medicinal material with a low melting point may be directly incinerated, or a medicinal material with a high melting point may not be fully refined.
…
This is also part of Hu Mingxian's intention to order the mountain closure.
If someone disturbed him at this time, even if he made just a little noise, at least 80% of the ten medicinal materials would be scrapped.
An hour and a half later, Hu Mingxian finally managed to refine all ten medicinal materials into liquid medicine, which was now fused together in the ten pill furnaces.
The next step is to control the elixir fire of the ten elixir furnaces until the elixir is finally formed.
The ten alchemy furnaces all refine the same elixir, and the supply of elixir fire required to make the final elixir is naturally the same. This step is relatively the easiest.
"Condensation!"
Half a quarter of an hour later, with a low drink from Hu Mingxian, all the medicinal liquid in the ten-top elixir furnace solidified. In the final tempering of the elixir fire, it condensed into thumb-sized turquoise elixirs with crystal luster. .
call……
After taking a long breath, Hu Mingxian took out an elixir and examined it carefully. He found that the elixir had been successfully refined, but it was just the most common, low-grade elixir.
Looking around, the final number of pills in each furnace is more than six, and some have reached eight. In total, these sixty-seven furnaces have refined a vitality bone-building pill.
For the same medicinal materials, the difference in the number of pills is also affected by the alchemy furnace. If the grade of the pill furnace is not enough, the medicinal power of the medicinal materials will not be fully utilized. When the medicinal power is lost, the number of natural pills will be less.
Based on the grade of the Sun and Moon Tiantian furnace, the number of completed pills has reached eight, and the medicinal power of the medicinal materials has basically not been lost. The other spiritual weapon-level pill furnaces have lost more medicinal materials, and only a few furnaces have been refined. Seven pills were prepared.
Of course, this difference does not mean that these spiritual weapon-level pill furnaces can be compared with the Sun and Moon Yaotian furnace. It is just that the power of one pill can only be converted into eight pills at most. That is, the Sun and Moon No matter how powerful the Huantian Furnace is, it is impossible to refine the ninth one out of thin air.
The difference is that the Sun Moon Hou Tian Furnace has the ability to improve the quality of the elixir on the basis of maximizing the elixir, which is something that the Nine-Top Pill Furnace does not have.
However, this time, alchemy took a lot of energy and was complex, so Hu Mingxian did not go alone to improve the level of the elixirs refined by the Sun and Moon Huantian Furnace.
This also makes the sixty-seven vitality bone-building pills all of ungraded grade, but they are enough for those disciples with broken limbs under the Soul Realm.
After collecting the sixty-seven pills, Hu Mingxian took a short rest and then started the second round of refining.
Although the amount of alchemy required this time was huge and it took a long time, it was also a good thing for him. When he was self-cultivating in the Sunset Mountains, he had fallen behind in alchemy due to the virtual reality and true flames. This time it was just right. To make up for it.
Maybe there is still a chance to break through to the fourth level Alchemy Master.
Of course, this is just a good wish.
An alchemist's breakthrough is more difficult and more mysterious than a warrior's practice.
Just because it doesn't have a specific advanced mode.
As a warrior, if you reach the ninth level of perfection in the Qi training realm, and successfully overcome the tribulation, you can enter the blood coagulation realm. This is a very clear way to advance.
But alchemists are different. It does not mean that someone who can refine third-level elixirs must be a third-level alchemy king. It can only be said to be a rough criterion. Although some alchemists can refine third-level elixirs, , the alchemist's success rate is extremely low, but it cannot be denied that he is a third-level alchemist.
Some alchemy masters have extremely high success in refining, and will naturally be recognized as third-level alchemy masters. However, there is also a probability of failure. It is not like the practice of warriors. If you fail to overcome the tribulation, it must not be blood coagulation. Realm, so simple and clear.
It is precisely this that creates the difference in alchemy level and status among the alchemists of each level.
Naturally, if Hu Mingxian wants to advance to the fourth-level elixir, he must be able to refine the fourth-level elixir. This is the most direct identification standard. Whether he can be recognized by others depends on his refining of the fourth-level elixir. The production efficiency and the degree of mastery of various fourth-level medicinal materials.
In the days that followed, Hu Mingxian truly turned a deaf ear to the outside world and concentrated on refining the elixir. Whether it was his control over refining ten furnaces of elixirs at the same time or his ability to use the power of the soul, It is also growing day by day.
It took nearly two hours to complete from the beginning
It gradually takes only one and a half hours to make the rounds of refining. From the beginning, the number of vitality bone-building pills can only be refined for four rounds a day, excluding the rest time, and the finished pills are stable at around 250. , and later it was possible to refine six rounds a day, and the number of completed pills increased to about 360.
During this period, Hu Mingxian's rest time was very short. Basically, if he recovered, he would use the power of the liquid of creation and the spiritual crystal.
However, this was not enough. After half a month, Hu Mingxian had only refined about 5,300 vitality bone-building pills.
On the seventh day, Hu Mingxian found Luo Yingxiong and asked him to return to Xiaoyao Sect with 2,000 pills.
Luo Yingxiong originally brought a thousand medicinal materials. According to the success rate of an ordinary alchemist, even if it does not fail, one medicinal material can only refine one elixir. If you are lucky, you can refine more than 1,200 pills. It is not a problem. , give him 2,000 pills to take back, I believe it can help him make a contribution to the Xiaoyao Sect.
Although Chu Tingting brought him the medicinal materials from the sect, the additional expenses of finding an alchemist to refine the pills were all Luo Yingxiong's own.
Of course, this is what it looks like to outsiders!
Hu Mingxian also sent someone to notify Fan Qingcang to pick up the remaining 2,300 pills half a month later.
When he saw so many elixirs, Fan Qingcang looked dissatisfied, thinking that the quantity was too small. As a result, he was scolded by Hu Mingxian, and then he realized that it was not easy for Hu Mingxian to make elixirs, and finally ran away.
Taking advantage of seeing off Fan Qingcang, a shameless guy, Hu Mingxian also had a good day's rest. However, when he was preparing to continue refining alchemy in the evening, a message came from Nie Lan down the mountain...
Someone came to see him.
