Early the next morning.
Yun Shu didn't care what he thought yesterday. He simply packed up and walked out.
Today was the day he was going to learn alchemy.
When he came to Qi Dan Hall, he was still the same disciple.
Seeing Yun Shu walking in at this moment, he also smiled and said, "Little brother, I haven't been here for a while. Can you still read the medicinal scriptures smoothly?"
"I just took over a mission from the inner sect, so I was delayed. Now I have memorized the medicinal scripture." Yun Shu replied with a smile.
To him, these things were commonplace.
But it sounds a little unusual in the eyes of others.
Memorized it?
Isn’t it enough to read the Medicinal Classic?
The real question is also extremely simple, as long as you can tell some simple medicinal properties, it is enough.
As for identifying medicinal materials, it is even simpler. Don’t you know snake orchid yet?
It looks like an orchid with a shape like a two-headed snake. This is too simple. Although it is not representative, it is enough to illustrate the difficulty of this assessment.
As long as you simply read the medicinal book, you can completely identify it.
As for those things that are somewhat surprising, they will not be assessed.
Nine Nether Orchid, Dragon Bone Flower, these medicinal properties with extremely complex properties will not be included in the assessment.
The assessment was originally just to select disciples who could make alchemy. As long as they could produce low-level elixirs like Yangyuan Dan, it would be enough.
As for the assessment of the medicinal classics, it is just a formality.
Do you expect these disciples who have not seen many elixirs to be able to recognize all these flowers and plants in a short time?
But not to mention, there are actually people who come here just to learn the secret of this magical medicine. They also think it is extremely important to identify flowers and plants.
This is too curly.
"Junior brother is here, please wait for me first, I will go to the back to hand over the task." Zhao Heng's figure also walked towards this side.
Yun Shu just nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you here."
"Do you know each other?" The disciple in front of me looked surprised, "This is my disciple of Xuanjian Peak and also the deacon of Coach Dan."
"Didn't I just say that I went to take on a mission, and Senior Brother Zhao Heng was also included." Yun Shu said with a smile.
"So that's it. I heard that he went to the dynasty below to recruit disciples. In the future, you will be traveling together. This makes it easier to explain. Okay, just wait for him here. He will take over when he comes back. Just complete the mission and I’ll teach you how to practice alchemy later.”
Yun Shu naturally thanked him slightly and waited here.
In fact, for him, it doesn't matter who teaches alchemy. He just wants to see what his alchemy talent is. If the talent is weaker, he can identify more of the various medicinal properties of herbs.
In this way, there is no need to run here every day. It is enough to just take out a few books from the Sutra Pavilion.
Zhao Heng quickly came out from behind.
"Junior Brother Yun, follow me." Yun Shu followed him and walked into an alchemy room.
There were two disciples who were busy inside. Zhao Heng introduced, "They are the outer disciples and they are also apprentices here. However, these apprentices can only do some miscellaneous things. After they enter the inner gate, they can officially Take the assessment.”
Yun Shu naturally understood that he had also passed the assessment, which required at least the fourth level of Qi training.
Although the outer disciples are coolies, they can also receive some tasks here.
You can earn some training resources.
"The most important thing in alchemy is fire control. How is your junior brother practicing the fire control technique?" Zhao Heng asked.
After all, most people know that Yun Shu only has three spiritual roots, and some good people can even find out that Yun Shu's three spiritual roots do not have the fire spiritual root.
In this way, the pressure to practice the Fire Art will be even greater.
"It's okay." Yun Shu was silent for a moment, then pinched the spell with his hands.
Soon, a red fire phoenix with three tails flew out of his hand. The feathers were lifelike, as if carved. The fire phoenix hovered in the air for a long time before it completely dissipated.
"This strength..." Zhao Heng turned his eyes, his eyes flashing with deep shock.
This strength is basically no longer in the middle stage of Qi training, right?
Yun Shu shook his head gently, "It's just the fourth level of Qi training. It's just that I know a lot of spiritual techniques, so it seems that the spiritual energy is a bit stronger."
Zhao Heng glanced at the fire phoenix that had just dissipated, where even the tail feathers could be clearly seen falling down.
This is completely activating the control of spiritual objects. What kind of means is needed?
"Have you at least achieved some success in the Fire Control Technique?"
"Absolutely." Yun Shu said ambiguously.
In fact, even if he didn't say it, Zhao Heng, as a genius with fire spirit roots, would still be able to detect something.
If this fire control technique were only a small success, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so terrifying, but as for a big success, he didn't dare to think so.
The Fire Control Technique is just a basic skill. If you can practice it to a small degree, it is enough to reach the peak of Qi refining.
Even those geniuses who are immersed in alchemy and have perfected the Fire Control Technique are unheard of.
"How did junior brother do it?" Zhao Heng then turned around and asked.
"I see they sent me pictures, didn't they? I followed them and learned only four kinds of animals now." Yun Shu replied in a straightforward manner.
"Is there anything else?" Zhao Heng asked quickly. "Give me a look."
Yun Shu nodded, and the fire spirit energy surged out from his hand. He waved the magic formula one after another, and the fire spirit energy slowly formed in the air. Finally, it formed a red fire dragon, which was extremely powerful.
Even the dragon horns, dragon scales and dragon whiskers are clearly visible, and each scale is even a little different.
The red fire dragon hovered in the air for a week, until the fire spirit could no longer support it, and then slowly dissipated.
"Junior brother's spiritual energy transformation is the mastery of the Fire Control Technique. I didn't even dare to confirm it before, but I understood it the moment the red fire dragon was formed." Zhao Heng said, "The Fire Control Technique Is there any elixir that Dacheng can’t practice well?”
Zhao Heng took a deep breath, with excitement in his expression, "Maybe junior brother will become the greatest alchemist in the sect?"
"So simple?" Yun Shu was surprised for a moment.
"Do you know what is the most important thing about alchemy?" Zhao Heng asked casually.
"Identify the elixir?" Yun Shu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"You can only identify the usefulness of the elixir. In addition, even if you don't know how to identify it, there can still be other people to help you. Just like these outer disciples, you only need to tell the elixir and its weight, and they will help you. Obtaining it will save you from leaving the alchemy furnace."
Zhao Heng then said, "The most important thing is to control the fire. Any more or less fire will have a great impact on the efficacy of the medicine."
Yun Shu understood somewhat. He didn't need to care too much about the medicinal materials and prescriptions now. In short, the sect would provide them and supply them.
The most important thing now is to keep the stove safe.
It's like brewing Chinese medicine in the mortal world.
This is something a little deeper, but essentially there is not much difference.
It's just that yours is a medicinal soup, and this one is made into pills.
But he nodded with some understanding. It turned out that the most important thing was to control the fire.
"There is also the process of forming an elixir, which requires some simple techniques, more like martial arts. Junior brother is a physical practitioner, so I believe he can better understand its meaning. To form an elixir is to draw all these medicines into elixirs one by one with the guidance of his spiritual consciousness. , In our Qi training period, if we don’t have spiritual consciousness, we can only use the general perception of spiritual power, and then use spiritual energy to form elixirs.”
"As for how much the elixir can be turned into in the end, it also depends on the technique."
"If your mental power is not strong enough, you can only sense a rough idea. The pill may only become one pill. Although you can control the number of pills, the number of pills is not under your control in the end. It has a huge relationship with fire control, because Sometimes the furnace body cannot be heated evenly, and the edges will be burnt."
Yun Shu listened for a while and roughly understood.
This is like kneading mud. Knead these refined elixirs into small pills and bake them on the fire. It is best not to burn them and the fire should not be too light. This is not similar to the principle of cooking. ?
Now Yun Shu somewhat understands the principles of using a pressure cooker to make elixirs that he had seen before.
The principles are the same, it's just a question of how effective the medicine is.
Zhao Heng introduced him systematically again, and only then did Yun Shu understand the entire process.
If you put it in a book, he might understand it quickly, but now that someone is teaching it, there is no need for a book. There are indeed many steps to remember.
From the very beginning, refining the elixir requires wood-attributed spiritual energy. Of course, it is not a problem if you don’t have it. You only need to use your own spiritual energy.
However, Yun Shu has wood-attribute aura!
Although his spiritual roots are of low grade, he still has a wood spiritual root among them.
Mobilizing the wood-attribute spiritual energy in his body, Yun Shu refined the elixirs in front of him one by one.
"Just take your time and don't be in a hurry. I have never heard of anyone successfully refining the Yangyuan Pill in one go. Just go ahead and refine it with confidence." Zhao Heng said, "Follow me Teach you how to do it.”
Yun Shu naturally kept nodding, and the two outer disciples beside him were busy taking the elixir from the side.
In fact, the refining of the Yangyuan Pill does not require the use of any high-end elixir, it is just the most basic elixir during the Qi training period.
During the Qi training period, few people would use the Yangyuan Pill to strengthen their foundation and cultivate their energy. Even the outer disciples, most of them only used the Yangyuan Pill as a kind of currency.
It should be used more during the body refining period, and some extravagant disciples will use it to increase the efficiency of breaking through the qi training period.
For the body refining period, this is a very good elixir.
Therefore, the medicinal materials required are not as exaggerated as imagined, only five main medicines and a dozen auxiliary medicines.
There is only one elixir among them, called Baimaicao. This is an elixir that can widen the meridians, and can also warm and nourish the meridians.
Since mental power is really limited, it can only be controlled with spiritual energy.
Zhao Heng said that generally extremely powerful alchemists have extremely strong mental powers. Their mental powers are like the vast ocean, and they can sense subtle changes within the furnace.
The method of forming a pill does not require the assistance of spiritual energy. It is enough to master the fire control technique. This is one of the reasons why the fire control technique is extremely important at this stage.
The fire-controlling art is the foundation of all fire-attribute spiritual art in the world.
When used, even the most brilliant fire control spirit technique may be derived from this.
Yun Shu patiently refined the elixir above the furnace.
Zhao Heng didn't even do it himself. He just wanted Yun Shu to find the feeling and then demonstrate it himself. All in all, it was just a set of medicinal materials for the Yuan Yang Dan. It was not precious to inner disciples like them.
If it is a complete furnace of Yang Yuan Dan, it may be about twenty-four, which is two spiritual stones.
What is burned in alchemy is not medicinal materials, but money.
After Yun Shu learned this, he became more careful.
If it was a waste of money, Yun Shuke would never dare to do it.
These are two spiritual stones. What can two spiritual stones do? They are enough to buy a medium-sized talisman!
The best talisman seals are only two or three spirit stones!
Alchemist is the most profitable profession, but if you don't have any talent, it is indeed the most expensive profession. There is almost no doubt about this.
But in fact, even the top alchemy master in the sect cannot make twenty-four pills in one furnace.
There are about ten of them, which is pretty good.
As for the raw materials, they were only worth three Yuan Yang Pills, so it was enough to make a huge profit.
After refining an elixir, Yun Shu poured the smelted elixir into the furnace. Yun Shu still concentrated on condensing the next elixir as Zhao Heng said.
The two outer disciples beside him were running around, holding the elixir according to the prescription of Yangyuan Dan, but their steps were light and did not affect anything.
The techniques are similar. These elixirs are filled with wood-attribute aura. You only need to use your own wood-attribute aura to draw out the medicinal properties, refine the impurities, and then refine them into the purest elixir. enough.
Below, the fire control technique is used to control the flame.
These flames come from the aura of the fire attribute. Yun Shu is familiar with both fire and wood attributes, so he can do two things at once without making any mistakes.
In fact, when the furnace is preheating in the early stage and the elixir is being refined above, there is little need to use fire control techniques to organize the flames.
In this way, there is a sequence and you won't be in a hurry.
"The more fire there is, the faster the elixir will be refined." Zhao Heng commanded from the side.
After all the elixirs had been refined, under Zhao Heng's command, a disciple closed the lid of the furnace.
The flames below are constantly adjusted under the use of fire control techniques.
Zhao Heng's eyes became brighter and brighter, "It seems like it's going to happen?"
This made him extremely excited.
Although alchemy is a relatively boring and simple thing, if there is a mistake in the sequence of techniques, then you will not be able to play anymore.
A successful one is extremely rare!
