The Shennongtang elixir furnace burns nine elements of fire and ignites spontaneously in the furnace.
But space temperature also plays a crucial role in the formation of pills.
This is why each cauldron alchemy furnace in Shennongtang has its own alchemy room, and the alchemist will also control the temperature of the alchemy room when refining elixirs in order to perfect the elixir.
But right now, with heaven and earth as a cover and wind leaking from all sides, there is no place for this alchemy furnace to be placed.
Looking at the cliff to the side, Ruan Li said feebly: "Master, could it be that you want me to carve out an alchemy room out of this mountain wall?"
"The mountain man is an immortal who travels to the top of Qingyun. He is refined in the Yin and Yang furnace, and the great road is in his heart." Fangze said quietly, "Heaven and earth come together. This place is wonderful. I think your alchemy furnace should be established here!"
Ruan Li: "..."
Seeing her speechless, Fangze smiled: "Your master, this old man, has put a lot of thought into you. How could he not know that there is no alchemy room in this secret realm? So he did it deliberately, just to let you overcome the constant temperature in this environment. The method of making an elixir.”
"It's good to have an alchemy room, but you have a 100% chance of forming an elixir under the constant temperature of the alchemy room. Before the alchemy veins advance and break through, there is no room for improvement no matter how hard you practice."
"But if you lose constant temperature, it will undoubtedly be a different kind of difficulty. If you reduce your elixir formation rate to 70 to 80%, you will have 20 to 30% room for improvement. Are you right?"
Fangze's explanation made Ruan Li suddenly enlightened.
She also thought just now that the master would not do any useless work. Since he did it, there must be a reason.
Unexpectedly, while he was still thinking about it, Fangze saw through it at a glance.
Nodding, the alchemy furnace stopped moving. The master had good intentions, and she lived up to it!
Tonight, she will refine elixirs in this furnace and begin her one-year confinement practice in this secret realm.
——
The autumn wind blows and white clouds fly, the grass and trees turn yellow and the wild geese return south.
Outside the Xuantian Gate, there are two figures sitting on the steps leading to the sky, with a broom beside them.
The coolness of autumn has arrived, and yellow leaves are flying all over the sky. In the blink of an eye, some leaves have fallen from the already cleaned stairs behind me.
Mu Jinyang sighed impatiently and said: "I scan this staircase to the sky every day, and I even wrote down the texture of the stone slabs on each step."
"Uncle Master, you are not allowed to use mental techniques. Otherwise, if the wind blows, why don't you blow the stone steps spotlessly?"
Ruan Heng on the side was not as anxious as Mu Jinyang, and only responded calmly: "If it is so simple, how can it be considered a punishment?"
"There are only seven days left, and the patience is gone!"
Mu Jinyang pouted, fiddled with his calloused fingers, and whispered: "There are only seven days left, but it has already been more than ninety days."
"I don't know how A Li is doing now."
He had gone around asking his senior brothers and sisters where the secret Lingya Cave was, and wanted to sneak away to see A Li.
As a result, not a single disciple knew about this place.
This made Mu Jinyang feel uneasy, fearing that Ruan Li would be sent to some dangerous place.
In addition, life is boring. In addition to practicing every day, he has to clear the ladder to heaven, or carry water and firewood, which makes his temperament even more impetuous.
Ruan Heng turned to look at him and said comforting words: "Don't worry, Master will definitely not harm A Li. I guarantee that she is currently cultivating in the secret realm."
"You should also be more diligent. Maybe when Ah Li comes out, his cultivation level will have surpassed yours!"
Mu Jinyang nodded. He didn't know that he couldn't see Ruan Li. He was just anxious, and all this was of no benefit to him.
He patted his head to wake himself up, stood up and picked up the broom: "There's half left, let's keep sweeping!"
A group of geese flew in the sky, migrating south.
"boom--"
There was a loud noise, and the walls of the alchemy furnace vibrated, making a buzzing sound.
Ruan Li was dressed in a gray loose Taoist robe. His black hair was casually spread down his back and down to his waist. Half of his translucent white arms were exposed, and the lower part of his neck was half open, revealing a slight trace of his fair skin.
There is no one else in the secret realm, and as time passes, the image becomes blurred.
"oops!"
The broken pill floated out of the pill furnace, and Ruan Li stomped his feet angrily: "It's broken again!"
This was the second of her ten elixirs that was useless.
If it succeeds, she will have a 90% success rate. If it breaks, it will still be 80%!
"Gu Gu Da——Gu Gu Da——"
When King Ming saw that it was Broken Pill, he flapped his wings and circled Ruan Li.
Ruan Li curled his lips and threw the broken pill directly to it, and King Ming ate it happily.
Although it is a waste elixir, Ruan Li is now a second-level elixir, and the elixirs he refines have spiritual energy, which is more valuable than the spiritual rice that King Ming usually eats.
"Without an elixir room, there is an 80% elixir success rate, which is much better than your senior brother with superior talent." Fangze was lying on his side among the spiritual plants, looking at Ruan with one hand on his chin. Li said: "Besides, you have just advanced to the level of elixir, and you are still clumsy and unfamiliar. If you rush for quick success, it will only be counterproductive. Calm down and slowly realize that it is only a matter of time for you to get a low-grade elixir at your fingertips."
Ruan Li exhaled slightly.
When she had the alchemy room, she had a 100% success rate. Without the alchemy room, it dropped directly to 70%. After nearly a hundred days of hard work, she finally achieved a 10% improvement. She felt that there was a gap in her mind.
But Fangze was right. She didn't have an alchemy room, so it was much more difficult to practice.
That’s it, let’s continue tomorrow!
"In seven more days, I can feed Bai Fei the second divine plant." Ruan Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to look into the cave.
Nourished by divine power, Bai Fei's spirit improved a lot. Although he still didn't like to move, he would turn his head from time to time.
After finishing his words, he turned to look at Fangze again: "Don't you say that spiritual beasts eat once every few decades? Is it really enough for a hundred days?"
She was still worried about the problem of absorbing divine power, fearing that Bai Fei wouldn't be able to withstand Fangze's divine power.
Fangze snorted softly and said: "It's not eating at all, at most it's feeding medicine."
"Besides, it's just that a spiritual beast can eat once every few decades, but that doesn't mean it can't eat in between."
"The trace of my divine power is already weak, and a hundred days is enough for it. If you are reluctant, you can feed one plant a year!"
Ruan Li blurted out: "How can you not give up? I want it to live well until the day I send it back to the spirit world!"
Fangze raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded: "Then it's okay to feed it one now. It only lasts a few days, so there's no need to be rigid."
"Really?" Ruan Li was doubtful, thinking that Fangze was teasing her.
"Natural." Fangze said.
Ruan Li pulled out another handful of sacred plants from the space ring, walked up to Fangze and asked: "Which one should I feed?"
"Crystal Red Chixia uh..."
Before Fangze finished speaking, he had already read three words from Ruan Li's eyes: speak human language!
"The one that's all deep red is good."
"Thank you!" Ruan Li said, turned around and entered the cave again.
Bai Fei seemed to have been familiar with Ruan Li's scent for a long time. It was a very spiritual beast, so he could feel Ruan Li's kindness towards it. He couldn't help but raise his chin slightly and looked at her with clear eyes.
