"But, you didn't even teach me the technique of condensing medicine." Yun Shu controlled the size of the flame according to Zhao Heng's instructions. This is the final stage and there is no need for carelessness.
Yun Shu spoke helplessly.
"It's very simple. I'll call you now." Zhao Heng said.
He didn't expect that Yun Shu could do it so perfectly the first time, and even just explained the process to Yun Shu at that time.
Zhao Heng then walked to the side of Yun Shu and the medicine furnace. This angle would not disturb Yun Shu's alchemy and allowed him to see clearly, "Watch it."
A giant net formed by spiritual energy instantly sank into the interior of another cauldron on the side, and then slowly wrapped the medicine visible to the naked eye.
Finally, one by one is formed.
"Junior Brother Yun has wood-attribute aura. Wood-attribute aura is perfect for warming and nourishing elixirs. Junior Brother Yun can give it a try." Zhao Heng then said.
Yun Shu nodded slightly.
It is indeed very simple, and it is just a superficial way to use Reiki.
However, it should only be used for low-level elixirs such as Yangyuan Dan. Higher-level elixirs must have alchemy techniques to form magic formulas.
"It's time to condense the elixir." Zhao Heng said.
Yun Shu nodded slightly, and his mind sank. The fire control technique below was being used continuously, and the wood-attribute spiritual energy above was directly submerged into the cauldron.
Like a big green net, it isolates the elixir inside and slowly wraps it up.
Concentrated, concentrated again, and heated by flames, it slowly took shape quickly.
The bottom of Yun Shu tried to control the heating evenly, and the top of Yun Shu also had to control the condition of the elixir, which almost meant he had to do two things at once.
However, since it is still relatively simple, even if it is distracted, it is just the difference between one is lighting the fire and the other is constantly pulling the meat in the pot.
This is not difficult at all.
After this alchemy, Yun Shu came to the conclusion that alchemy = cooking.
It is not impossible to make elixirs in a pressure cooker.
But these thoughts just passed by.
He still had to concentrate on condensing the elixir.
"Increase the fire and remove all the impurities in the elixir. It will take a stick of incense to open it," Zhao Heng said.
At this moment, Zhao Heng didn't dare to breathe, and stared at the stove tightly.
Yun Shu did as he was told and increased the amount of fire.
But it is also a slow improvement. The most important thing is to be heated evenly, Yun Shu understands.
After half a stick of incense.
"Condensate the elixir, and concentrate it a little more."
"good."
Soon, half a stick of incense passed by, "The fire can be extinguished directly, but the wood attribute aura must continue to warm the elixir."
"Um."
The fire attribute aura dissipated directly, while the wood attribute aura still wrapped the pill.
Yun Shu felt that the number of pills that could be made from this furnace should not be too small.
"Okay, let's turn on the furnace." Zhao Heng said.
An apprentice went to use a special iron tool to open the furnace.
In an instant, a medicinal aroma mixed with the smell of a paste pot filled the air.
Yun Shu and Zhao Heng looked at each other, confused?
"I'll go take a look." Zhao Heng stood up.
He glanced into the pot and was slightly surprised, "The elixir is ready? Is there a lot of it?"
Yun Shu did not continue to control the spiritual energy, because the furnace cauldron had already cooled down, so he could just look at the elixir.
Yun Shu looked inside and saw that the edges were all blurred. There was nothing that could be done about it. Although the temperature had been controlled, the temperature had to be increased enough to remove the impurities.
A batch of twenty-four pills is too much for one alchemy.
Yun Shu thought that sixteen would be enough.
There are four rows and four columns, so there won’t be so much mess.
"Count how many pills there are in here." Zhao Heng pointed to the pills inside.
Yun Shu, there are only a few "." in total. You still can't understand it.
The apprentice immediately took out a jade plate from the side and put all the elixirs into the plate.
"It's different." Zhao Heng seemed to see Yun Shu's doubts and said with a smile, "Some medicines only have five or six levels of potency, so they cannot be considered qualified elixirs."
"You have to reach at least the eighth level of medicinal power to barely pass. Refining medicine is so rigorous."
Yun Shu nodded, he had heard this statement before.
After all, alchemy is meant to be used by the sick or injured. If the efficacy of the medicine is reduced by half, it may harm a life.
"Senior Brother Zhao, there are twelve elixirs here. Some of the others are weaker, and some are muddy." The apprentice said.
"Okay." Zhao Heng took the jade plate over, with excitement in his expression, "You are definitely the most talented alchemist I have ever seen."
"It is definitely rare to be able to succeed in one go. The last time I saw it, I saw it in the sect's classics." Zhao Heng's eyes were full of surprise.
Sect classics.
Yun Shu was no stranger to this word, as it was recorded in the sect's classics.
"Tomorrow's sect briefing will be the headline. It's the first time that twelve pills have been produced. This is something that has not happened in the sect for a hundred years." Even after a long time, Zhao Heng was still staring at the pills in the jade plate. Appreciated.
"I don't want to cause any more sensation." Yun Shu smiled.
"This is not a sensation, it's just a talk for some boring disciples who are cultivating immortals. Is there anything wrong with being talented in alchemy?" Zhao Heng said with a smile.
Yun Shu shook his head, feeling nothing.
If you become more proficient, you may be able to obtain more elixirs.
However, the limitations of the technique are there, and so are the limitations of the cauldron and flames. A dozen or so is the limit.
If you want to make twenty pills, or even more than twenty pills, you will need more skilled pill refining methods, more subtle flame control, and a larger furnace.
These are the gaps and limitations.
Yun Shu realized this, but he was just an alchemy apprentice who had not passed the examination and had limited conditions.
"This month's assessment will probably be the day after tomorrow. You prepare to make a blockbuster. You can use the elixir here as you like. I will stay here with you for a while. When it is almost over, I will go and get busy." Zhao Heng said.
"Okay." Yun Shu nodded slightly.
Cherishing the opportunity, Yun Shu refined it again.
This time, Zhao Heng almost didn't interfere in the overall situation, and Yun Shu was completely able to operate on his own.
There are fifteen pills.
"A genius in alchemy." Zhao Heng was silent for a long time and then said, "I'm leaving and I won't be with you anymore. It's a huge blow."
"I was going to teach you some tricks to pass the test, but you can't use them now, hey."
Yun Shu smiled and said nothing.
At this moment, he understood the meaning of the sentence that the most important thing in alchemy is to control fire.
Dacheng's fire control technique allowed him to do it with ease.
