Chapter 1922
"Master, Angelica dahurica is not the key to the success rate of elixirs, but water!"
Ling Yu answered patiently: "When I was identifying the ingredients of the pills, I discovered that there was lead in the Zhuyan Pill!"
"This lead cannot actually be used in cosmetics. Although it can promote the absorption of other medicinal materials by the skin, it also has its own toxicity!"
Ling Yu told Ye Shifan what she knew about lead, and Ye Shifan nodded frequently.
The alchemy world has always only understood the absorption-promoting effect of lead, but has only a partial understanding of its harmful effects.
The selected medicinal materials and lead restrain each other, so the rate of elixir formation is naturally low.
Ling Yu only used white water and discarded the lead. In this way, the white water could not counteract the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials, and the rate of elixir formation was high.
"Then why did you add lime water to the healing pill?"
Ye Shifan didn't realize that his and Ling Yu's identities had been reversed at this moment. His tone was as if he was the apprentice and Ling Yu was his master.
"The reason for adding lime water is because lime itself has sterilizing and anti-inflammatory effects. What you added before was sulfur, and there are specific steps for adding lime water. Adding it early and late will affect the effect of lime water!"

"Master, you know that quicklime will heat up when it comes into contact with water. You should know that lime will react differently at different temperatures!"
Ye Shifan was dumbfounded. How did he react? What temperature is suitable for adding it?
This must be grasped accurately, otherwise even if you watch the entire process of Ling Yu's elixir refining, if you are a little negligent, it is impossible to improve the elixir success rate, let alone refine the best elixir like Ling Yu.
Ling Yu's proficiency in controlling medicinal materials was beyond Ye Shifan's reach.
After Ye Shifan figured out the trick, he had to go out and experiment countless times. He saw that Ling Yu didn't hide anything from him, and he liked this apprentice even more.
"Xiao Qi, learning alchemy is not only about mastering the properties and efficacy of medicinal materials, but to be a great alchemist you also need to learn cultivation!"
"Master sees that you have no cultivation at all. Have you never learned to practice before?"
Ye Shifan asked with a frown.
Ling Yu is very talented in medicinal materials, but as he said, to become a great alchemist, you cannot just rely on identifying medicinal materials.
Ling Yu was able to refine the best elixirs in the formation because the formation did not require her to use spiritual power to refine the elixirs.
If Ling Yu had no cultivation, he could only refine elementary elixirs in reality. No matter how talented he was, he would not be able to refine intermediate medicinal materials.
As for high-grade or even top-grade elixirs, the medicinal materials have spiritual energy and cannot be refined using ordinary methods.
The higher your cultivation level, the more likely you are to refine the best elixirs.
If she didn't hear the conversation between the Ye family's ancestors and grandsons, Ling Yu told Ye Shifan that she was banned, and then sought Ye Shifan's help.
But because she was afraid that the Ye family was her enemy, how could Ling Yu dare to tell the truth to Ye Shifan, she said sarcastically.
"Master, I didn't think so far before. I just wanted to learn how to make alchemy so that I and my brother can live a good life!"
Ye Shifan looked at Ling Yu and sighed in his heart.
He has already seen Ling Yu's family situation. This girl can learn so many things despite being so poor, which shows that she has worked hard enough.
How could he ask her to learn to practice too!
"It's okay, it's too late to start learning now!"
Ye Shifan found a few bottles of foundation-building pills and gave them to Ling Yu, and also told Ling Yu how to practice.
Finally, he took a few books on spiritual practice to Ling Yu and said, "You go back to practice first. Master will check you out in ten days. He will look at your situation and find ways to help you improve!"
Ye Shifan finally received a very talented apprentice, so he didn't hesitate to invest.
If medicine can do something, he will not be stingy with money, and he will also help Ling Yu improve her cultivation as soon as possible...
