The so-called melting pill seems to only require mixing all the medicinal liquids together.
But in fact, it's not that simple.
Each medicinal material has different medicinal properties. Some belong to yin, some belong to yang, and they can be divided into five elements: metal, wood, water, fire and earth.
The more detailed the division, the more yin five elements and yang five elements.
This makes the order and time of their fusion different, and the fusion elixir will naturally change according to its changes.
The medicinal liquids are combined in the correct order, and what is produced is a good elixir.
If you fuse in the wrong order, you'll usually end up having conflicting attributes.
Even if it is refined by luck, either the efficacy of the medicine will be weakened, or it will simply be a poison pill with the opposite effect.
If you continue to take it, not only will it not help, but you will probably die of poison on the spot.
At this time, the importance of Danfang was reflected.
Follow the order and time recorded on the prescription, so you don’t have to worry about making mistakes.
Of course, some masters of alchemy have reached a terrifying level of understanding of medicinal properties and can easily calculate the correct order and time.
Lu Ming was still a novice, so he could only add and blend the medicinal liquids according to the recipe, in an order and time.
And at the same time, he plays the corresponding elixir formula to make the medicine liquid blend with each other more perfectly.
As time passed by, Lu Ming actually completed the second step of melting the pill.
Lu Ming was overjoyed. For the first time, he actually successfully completed the first two steps. It was like cheating.
Just as he thought this, there was a sudden "boom" from the pot, and a muffled explosion came out.
The glass lid of the pot exploded into pieces and flew out, and the stainless steel soup pot also split into several large pieces, shooting around like a hidden weapon.
Lu Ming quickly waved his hand, and mana surged out, rolling back all the fragments.
Looking at the pile of debris in front of him, Lu Ming smiled bitterly.
He was too excited just now and failed to maintain the stability of the fused medicine, causing the furnace to explode.
An ordinary liquid explosive furnace would certainly not be so powerful.
But it is not surprising that such an explosion occurs due to the superposition of power exerted by so many elixirs.
Lu Ming looked at the induction cooker and found that it was also damaged.
"Fortunately, I was prepared."
Lu Ming waved his hand, and a set of identical induction cookers and pots appeared in front of him.
Lu Ming took a deep breath and started all over again.
Thanks to Wang Lang, he sent a lot of medicinal materials, enough for Lu Ming to experiment many times.
The second time, Lu Ming was much more stable than the first time.
Not long after, he completed the first two steps again.
This time, Lu Ming controlled his emotions and successfully survived the unstable state of the second step of melting the pill, leaving a large ball of medicinal liquid suspended in the pot.
Next, is the third step of condensing the pill.
Now in the pot, there is still a ball of medicinal liquid, not a solidified elixir at all.
Therefore, it is necessary to use mysterious elixir techniques to attract special power and let the medicine liquid turn into elixirs.
This step is already a transformation of physical form, which is difficult to explain scientifically.
Lu Ming opened the lid of the pot and threw in a special medicinal material called Phoenix Clothes.
The so-called phoenix coat is actually the thin film under the egg shell.
The purpose of this medicinal material is not to extract its medicinal properties, but to wrap the medicinal liquid and assist in condensing the elixir.
Almost all elixirs have this kind of medicine, and this is the reason.
Therefore, this herb is counted separately.
As soon as Phoenix Yi entered, under the control of Dan Jue, he wrapped the ball of medicine on his own and turned it into a big ball.
Then, Lu Ming's hands were like butterflies piercing flowers, and he continued to make secrets.
Those techniques are not only complicated, but also require extremely high flexibility of the fingers.
Even if ordinary people see it, they can't pinch it out.
Not to mention doing it quickly and accurately.
"puff……"
Lu Ming was playing the elixir when suddenly, there was another muffled sound in the pot.
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he had forgotten to control the heat of the induction cooker.
Fortunately, the power this time is not too great.
Although the pot and induction cooker were still blown up, they didn't fall apart.
"It's so hard."
With a sigh, Lu Ming put on a new pot and stove and started his third try.
This time, after Lu Ming was careful, played hundreds of pill formulas as required, and accurately controlled the heat, the ball of medicine finally solidified into a pill.
Lu Ming's expression suddenly became serious, and even his breathing became heavier.
Because this is the time when the power in the elixir is the most unstable, once the furnace explodes, the power will be much greater than the previous two times.
Only after dividing it into equal amounts of elixirs will the elixir's power be completely stable and there will be no danger of the furnace exploding.
Dividing pills is an extremely critical step. This step determines the number of pills in a batch.
Why, for the same medicinal materials, some people boil more quantities and some people boil less quantities, it's because of this step.
At the beginning, the amount of medicine remains the same. How much you can dispense depends on your ability.
During the process of dividing the elixir, the amount of medicine will inevitably be wasted, and the higher the grade of the elixir, the more so.
The more waste there is, the less elixirs will be separated out.
The less wasted, the more elixirs will be separated out.
But no matter how many, the number of pills in a furnace will not exceed 12.
Lu Ming used the elixir dividing technique and began to divide elixirs.
The Alchemy Dividing Technique drew Lu Ming's mental energy to the medicine ball in the pot, and then Lu Ming concentrated on dividing the elixir.
In this process, it is necessary not only to ensure the stability of the medicine group, but also to separate out the appropriate amount of elixir from the medicine group little by little so that it is not wasted.
It didn't take long for Lu Ming to be sweating profusely.
When he was sweating all over the back of his clothes and a pool of sweat formed in front of his body, he finally finished dispensing the pills.
I saw that the big medicine ball in the pot disappeared, but turned into four pills that were not much bigger than soybeans.
The elixir was green in color, suspended in the pot, and swaying slightly.
Yes, Lu Ming only got four pills out of this furnace, and most of them were wasted by him.
Lu Ming opened the lid of the pot and took the final step - collecting the pills.
You can't collect elixirs randomly, you have to use the elixir collection technique.
Otherwise, the elixir has just come out of the oven and still has fire properties. If you are not careful, the efficacy of the elixir will be weakened at best, or the elixir will explode in the worst case.
Although it was impossible to blow up the furnace again, it was the most heartbreaking thing to destroy a few of the elixirs that were finally made in the last step.
Lu Ming took out a jade bottle and placed it on the ground. He used the elixir collecting technique and pointed his finger into the pot.
The four green elixirs were pulled by some kind of force and flew out of the pot in an instant, sinking into the jade bottle one by one.
At this point, the alchemy is truly completed.
Lu Ming wiped the sweat from his head, turned off the induction cooker, picked up the jade bottle, poured out a green elixir in his palm, and couldn't help laughing loudly:
"I actually used the induction cooker to make the elixir. Squirrel Hangcheng didn't bully me, haha..."
