The difficulty of refining a third-grade elixir is not only reflected in the subsequent fusion, but also starts to escalate from the first step of extraction.
The spiritual plants used to refine third-grade elixirs are better in grade and age than the first-grade and second-grade elixirs she usually refines, and the fire aura required for condensation is also much higher.
She turned on the earth fire in the alchemy room to the maximum, and used her own fire aura to temper it.
Her fire aura was of high quality, but even so, just the step of extracting the medicinal power had already consumed more than half of her aura.
Qin Shu had already had experience refining bone-retaining pills before. If the pills were taken during the subsequent fusion process, it would inevitably be impossible to ensure the stable output of spiritual energy. At this time, it was time to replenish spiritual energy.
Qin Shu took a spirit-boosting pill and felt that the spiritual energy in her Dantian became full again, and then she began to try to fuse these spiritual fluids.
She had already had the experience of successfully refining bone-retaining pills before. Now that her cultivation level is higher, she is indeed more comfortable than before.
She carefully controlled her spiritual energy to blend all the spiritual fluids together, and finally... the prototype of an elixir appeared in the alchemy furnace.
Qin Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The refining of the Bone-Resisting Pill was much smoother this time. It seemed that there was hope for the successful refining of the Qingyuan Pill.
She performed a pill-forming formula, and the bone-retaining pill glowed brightly. As she formed the seals faster and faster, the surface of the pill gradually became smooth...
Finally, the movements in her hands stopped, and the alchemy furnace in front of her gradually returned to calm.
Qin Shu's tender cheeks were stained with a smile. She raised her hand and performed a cleaning technique to get rid of the sweat, then stepped forward and opened the alchemy furnace.
The fragrance of the third-grade elixir wafted out, condensing but not dissipating, which showed that the quality of this batch of elixir was good.
Qin Shu moved her hand, and eight pills flew out of the pill furnace. Judging from the color and smell of the pills, they should undoubtedly be top-grade pills.
Qin Shu was overjoyed. With this experience, she would probably start refining the Qingyuan Pill again, and it would probably be much smoother.
Before coming, she prepared a total of ten materials for refining the Qing Yuan Dan, and she did not expect to be able to successfully refine it in one go. The ten materials also gave her more trial and error costs.
She cleaned the alchemy furnace, took another spirit-boosting pill and sat down cross-legged to restore herself to her best condition before standing up to try refining the Qingyuan Pill.
The previous step of extracting the spiritual liquid went very smoothly. After completing this step, Qin Shu took the elixir again to keep the spiritual energy in her body full.
The next step is to fuse the spiritual liquid. The refining of Qingyuan Dan is indeed more difficult. These spiritual liquids seem to have their own ideas.
Press this end and the other end pops out.
Press that end and this one pops out again.
A thin layer of sweat gradually appeared on Qin Shu's forehead, and her spiritual energy began to run out, so she had to distract herself and get another spiritual pill.
The spiritual energy wrapped in the spiritual liquid was also successfully broken through by it, and there was a crisp collision sound in the entire alchemy furnace.
Qin Shu was startled, quickly swallowed the spirit-boosting pill in her mouth, got up and looked at the purple gold alchemy furnace in front of her.
After careful inspection, I found that the alchemy furnace was still intact, and no cracks were seen.
She breathed a sigh of relief, luckily it wasn't broken, otherwise she would have had to go to Xie Shiyuan to compensate for her losses!
She hit the lid of the alchemy furnace with a burst of spiritual power, and the lid flew up, revealing the mess inside.
Qin Shu sighed, feeling a little sorry for her spirit plant and also a little sorry for her stove.
He raised his hand and performed two cleaning techniques to clean the alchemy furnace without leaving any impurities, and then started the second attempt.
Human experience is amazing. Many things will be much better the second time you do them than the first time.
This time she successfully removed all the impurities from the spiritual plant, but she was still stuck on the fusion just like the first time.
She has tried various fusion techniques. She knows that in such a tug-of-war, her spiritual energy will eventually be exhausted.
Aura can be replenished by taking spirit-boosting pills, but physical strength cannot be replenished.
There were no surprises in the fusion this time, and it still failed.
Qin Shu swallowed a spirit-boosting pill and collapsed on the floor of the alchemy room, smashed into a "big" character.
What is actually happening? Does it have to be violent fusion with spiritual power?
Qin Shu thought for a long time before getting up and trying for the third, fourth, and fifth time.
Still a failure.
When it was the sixth time, Qin Shu made a bold attempt to completely remove the fire aura that originally wrapped the elixir, and only relied on earth fire to maintain the heat of the elixir furnace.
And all her spiritual energy was converted into wood spiritual energy according to her thoughts. She raised her hand to form seals and poured them into the alchemy furnace one by one.
And with these wood spiritual energy as a medium, those thorny spiritual fluids can be regarded as gradually having a tendency to merge.
This action lasted for an hour before the spiritual liquid was completely integrated. In the red alchemy furnace, a dark shadow could be faintly seen hanging up.
Qin Shu felt happy and tried the last step.
Forming an elixir is also the most important part of alchemy, and it is also the stage that consumes the most spiritual energy.
Qin Shu was mentally prepared, but her spiritual energy was almost drained by the potion of pills. She thought of the fact that her spiritual energy was exhausted and she was poisoned, so she quickly retracted her hand.
Even though this batch of elixirs was useless, it was still considered to be a complete elixir, and it still had some medicinal properties. After thinking about it, she packed up the useless elixirs.
This time Qin Shu fell into deep thought again. After this try, she also understood.
Even though she has now broken through to the sixth level of Qi training, if she wants to try pills that are above the tenth level of Qi training, she will still lack spiritual energy.
If you swallow the elixir while refining it, you will inevitably be distracted.
It would be nice if someone could feed her the elixir...
The idea just came into Qin Shu's mind. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she had an idea.
He cleaned the alchemy furnace again, took out another spiritual plant, and then took out a bottle of spirit-boosting pills and held it in his mouth.
When the spiritual energy is not enough, she can swallow one by herself without spending much energy.
It wasn't until the sky got dark that Qin Shu dragged her tired body back to the top of her mountain. She even lost the strength to move under her feet.
She pushed open the stone door with all her strength and stumbled in. Her legs went weak and she knelt directly on the ground.
Xie Shiyuan was startled by her movement and immediately opened his eyes. His sharp gaze turned from her body to confusion.
What's wrong with her?
"Why do you suddenly give such a big gift?" Xie Shiyuan asked in a calm tone.
Qin Shu simply stopped struggling and turned over, lying flat on the floor.
"It's boring." She said quietly.
Xie Shiyuan looked at her embarrassment and was about to ask her what she was doing when he saw her take out a bottle of elixir from the storage ring and throw it towards him.
"Now, the elixir you want."
Xie Shiyuan took it, took off the cap of the bottle and sniffed it, a look of satisfaction gradually appeared on his handsome face.
"You actually made it so quickly?" His hand slowly grasped the porcelain bottle, and the porcelain bottle disappeared out of thin air.
I heard his voice of praise, "It seems that I still underestimate you."
Qin Shu didn't say anything when she heard Xie Shiyuan ask: "You have made a bottle of elixir. Although the quality is still a bit lacking, I have a large quantity and our contract is still valid. How about it? Do you want me to give it to you now?" Go to your treasured land?”
Qin Shu: "?"
She was so tired, why did you send her to that treasured land? ! This guy's skin-peeling attributes are so obvious!
