"It's done!"
In the attic, after ten days of refining, Xiao Ye finally refined an elixir. Judging from the quality of the elixir, 80% of the impurities in it had been removed, making it safe for consumption. The elixir is gone. For Xiao Ye, it was very fortunate that the first finished pill was of such good quality.
And what he refined was not any special elixir, but a Qi-inducing elixir. This kind of elixir is not particularly difficult for beginners to refine, but it is not easy to refine either. No one knew about Xiao Ye, and he didn't have any experience. He only had this experience once. And it only took ten days to refine such a Qi-inducing pill, which was countless times more powerful than the medicine disciples of the Medicine Refining Pavilion, or even the real medicine refining disciples.
Xiao Ye took such a Qi-inducing pill directly. Compared with the one he took initially, this Qi-inducing pill may be a little different, but it is similar.
Now he can finally experience the joy of being an alchemist. He makes the medicine himself and takes it himself, and he can also sell the medicine in exchange for spiritual stones. He is a proper technician.
Xiao Ye looked at the other medicinal materials in the space ring. He didn't just buy Qi-Entraining Pill, but a variety of medicinal materials. He basically bought 60% of the inferior medicinal materials in the Spiritual Grass Garden. Moreover, he did not want to be limited to what the sect already had, or the traditional prescriptions.
For an alchemist, the thing that can often save their job is not the alchemy skill, but a prescription.
For an alchemist, a unique prescription is a family heirloom. And often it is this unique prescription that can save an alchemist's job.
Xiao Ye, on the other hand, wants to master a prescription of his own. Only in this way can he be regarded as a truly outstanding alchemist.
However, it is not an easy task to master a unique prescription of your own. There are also many alchemists in the world, and there are even more prescriptions. He is just a beginner, and he just wants to Mastering a prescription is indeed not an easy task.
"But..." Xiao Ye seemed to be thinking about something.
Recalling the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, although he didn't understand much about it, he had some understanding of it. Doctor Fanchen can be said to be the prototype of the alchemist in the monk world. The doctor makes medicine to save the sick and save the world. The alchemist's refining of medicine is similar. Even when doctors prescribe medicines for patients, they are divided into different types, and each type only takes one or two cents, no more, no less, it can be said to be extremely subdivided.
"If... I also take medicine the way the mortal world does, and only take one-tenth or two-tenths of each medicinal material, or the most essential part, or the corner part, what kind of effect will it have?" Xiao Ye said to himself He said coquettishly, and it must be said that his bold method was something that the alchemist would never have thought of.
Let’s not talk about the difference between ordinary medicinal materials and monks’ medicinal materials. The mortal world is just ordinary medicinal materials without the slightest aura. However, the monks' medicinal materials not only contain aura, but it is also possible for high-level medicinal materials to produce spiritual wisdom. Usually, in order to ensure that the elixir can be completely refined and the medicinal power is extracted and concentrated together, the alchemist will use complete medicinal materials. The combination of multiple medicinal materials also has a complementary effect. No one will go in this direction at all. I think, and all of them think, this method is absolutely impossible.
Perhaps, someone had tried it before, but they all failed, and no such method has been passed down.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ye decided to be the first person.
So, Xiao Ye started refining the medicine again, and the rest was the same as at the beginning. The house is full of smog, the house is full of medicine residue, and the house is full of stench. Among them, he even almost exploded the cauldron a few times, and the medicinal materials were destroyed extremely quickly by him. Fortunately, he had a lot of spiritual stones, and he was never stingy in purchasing medicinal materials. But such consumption and harm, if the people of the Medicine Refining Pavilion and the elders of the medicine refining hall saw this, he would definitely be sentenced to death.
"Fire, fire, fire, put out the fire!"
"Cough cough cough... I feel so choked..."
"Uh...this thing...it's nothing more than that..."
Of course, there were quite a few bumps in the middle. The handyman who came to deliver meals every day almost knew what Xiao Ye was doing, but after experiencing this, he became confused again.
"Is this... setting the house on fire, or are they eating and drinking inside?" the handyman said to himself with a confused look on his face.
Three months later, for three whole months, Xiao Ye's attic was filled with smoke, stench, coking coal, bitterness, sourness... and many other smells were mixed together, and there were many times when he almost... The attic burned down. In three months, he had almost no rest. Even when he was resting, he was studying how to calm down the power in the alchemy furnace. However, these three months have really allowed him to grasp some tricks.
Xiao Ye discovered that medicinal materials also pay attention to the balance of yin and yang. There are thousands of medicinal materials in the world, and not all of them can be refined together. Medicinal plants and spiritual fruits that complement each other can be used to refine different elixirs, but those that are incompatible with each other will be difficult to blend or even explode, or evil elixirs may be produced.
Therefore, Xiao Ye took sixty-seven out of ten of one kind of medicinal materials, and one-tenth of two-tenths of the other kind, and even took only a little part of it, or even crushed it into powder.
Unexpectedly, this method really made him successful. The energy that could not be calmed down in the elixir furnace finally calmed down and it could be refining safely. The first time it was still a waste of medicine, and the second time it was still the same. Now that he had mastered the trick, he was not discouraged, but instead became more and more motivated. Adjust once after a failure, adjust again after another failure...
More than a month passed, and finally, on this day, an elixir was successfully produced. This was the first time that he had refined a finished elixir since his creation. The quality was only 60%. Even if nothing happened after taking it, the effect of the medicine would be greatly weakened, but this already made him very happy. If there is no real fire, it will be 60% fine. If he uses real fire, it will be 100% fine.
"Very good, continue!"
Time flies, and another month has passed.
On this day, the handyman disciple who delivered food passed by every day. As soon as the food was placed in front of the door, Xiao Ye opened the door. When the door opened, a large amount of black smoke instantly poured out of the room. The black smoke filled the air, just like a prairie fire. Xiao Ye's whole body had already become pitch black, and he had countless smells on his body. Smelly, bitter, sour, choking...these tastes are all mixed together, and they are almost indescribable.
The handyman subconsciously covered his nose and backed away, looking at Xiao Ye in astonishment. What are you doing inside? Is this really refining medicine? Are you sure you're not hurting yourself?
"Um...Senior Brother Xiao. What...is wrong with you?" asked the handyman anxiously.
"It's okay, I just came out for some air." Xiao Ye said with a smile, showing his white teeth.
He originally didn't plan to come out today, but unfortunately all the medicinal materials have been used up. In the past few months, he has bought many of the inferior elixirs in Lingcao Garden and used them up. Fortunately, a lot of elixirs have been released in this month, but the only drawback is... He doesn't know what kind of effects these elixirs have, which makes him a little depressed, so he just thinks about it. Come out and find someone to try the elixir.
According to ancient legend, Emperor Yan changed his name to Shennong and tasted all kinds of herbs to save the people of the world. He made countless meritorious deeds and was honored as Emperor Shennong in later generations.
Xiao Ye could have tried it on his own, but...he was not a fool, nor a saint, nor even that good. Although these are some great tonic and not harmful medicinal materials, he doesn't know what effect they will have if they are mixed together in such a miscellaneous manner. Then, he thought of his senior brothers. As their junior brothers, they would definitely take care of him.
When he saw the handyman in front of the door, his eyes narrowed instantly, and a charming smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, saying: "Junior brother, thank you for delivering meals these days. You are also lucky. Come here, senior brother." I have something good for you to try."
When the handyman saw Xiao Ye's expression, his hair suddenly stood up, and he had a very bad premonition in his heart. His instinctive reaction told him to run, run as fast as possible, and run as far as possible. However, Xiao Ye had already caught him, and it was too late for him to run away.
Xiao Ye directly took out an elixir, handed it to the servant three inches away from his mouth, and said: "Come on, come on, this is the elixir I developed with my heart, senior brother, help me try what kind of elixir it is, is there any What’s the effect? Don’t worry, everything I use is a great supplement and there is absolutely no harm in it.”
The handyman disciple looked at the elixir in Xiao Ye's hand, and then glanced at the situation inside the attic. The black air inside has still not completely dissipated. The ground is all covered with failed medicine dregs. The mixture of various flavors is self-evident. And with the appearance of your briquettes, are you sure this thing can't kill people? Also, you seem to have been born in a spiritual nursing home. Are you sure you are refining medicine and not cooking?
Helpless, the handyman still ate it. After all, the other party was his senior brother, and he couldn't afford to offend him. There seemed to be few good people who offended him.
After the handyman ate it, after a few breaths, Xiao Ye hurriedly asked: "How do you feel? How does your body feel?"
The handyman squinted his eyes and frowned, feeling the changes in himself, and said: "It seems... there is no change. It is just that I feel full."
"That's right, it seems that after adding a certain amount of spiritual beast meat, it becomes a food pill that can satisfy your hunger." Xiao Ye said to himself.
When the handyman heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and he thought, although I am an alchemist and don't know how to make medicine, I also know that only the core of a spiritual beast can be refined, right? What happens when you refine meat? Can elixirs still be refined like this?
"Come on, come on, there are some here, try again for me." Then, Xiao Ye took out a lot of pills, and each one was different.
When the handyman disciple saw this, he staggered and almost fainted. At this moment, he shouted in his heart, "Mother, save me, I don't practice anymore, I want to go home!"
