Qingni returned to normal after a moment of shock. Looking at the golden liquid floating in the air, she murmured, "It would be great if there was an alchemist here."
The medicinal liquid at this moment is the essence of the medicinal properties after purification of the medicinal materials. Therefore, the medicine is so powerful that it cannot be taken directly by a mortal like Aunt Wang, not to mention that she has been paralyzed in bed for a year. Moreover, the storage conditions of medicinal liquids are extremely harsh. If they are not stored properly, impurities will be mixed in, causing the proportion to change. If the potency of the medicinal liquid is only reduced, it is fine. At worst, it may turn a life-saving medicine into a poison that is harmful to people's lives.
In fact, the best way is to refine the medicinal liquid into elixirs. On the one hand, the volume is reduced, which makes it easier to carry and store, and the storage conditions are not so harsh. On the other hand, certain auxiliary materials are added during the elixir refining process and then combined with spiritual energy. Reduce the potency while improving the medicinal effect of the drug
I heard Ye Feng say to Qing Ni, "Have you brought any auxiliary materials for alchemy?"
"Yes, but Mr. Ye, do you know how to make elixirs?" Qingni asked curiously.
"Maybe," Ye Feng said calmly.
"..." At this moment, Qingni, Tu Shanling and Ren Xiaojin were all speechless and didn't know what to say.
Yan Yi used his alchemy skills and experience and memory of alchemy as a reward to let Ye Feng take care of his sister Yan Ling. It has only taken less than half a day from then to now, and even Ye Feng cannot immediately integrate it and become a master of alchemy. Even a top genius like Yan Yi in alchemy has to practice hard for many years before he can achieve success. No matter how confident Ye Feng is, he is not so conceited that he cheats and crushes Yan Yi.
Ye Feng had a rough look at alchemy and compared it with Yan Yi's experience and memory. He only had an entry-level level in alchemy.
At that time, he understood one thing. Alchemy is a broad and profound system, and its complexity is not inferior to the cultivation system of immortality. It is impossible to achieve it quickly. He needs the hard work of the alchemist for countless days and months to achieve some success. Alchemy is another system independent of cultivating immortality. This is also why there was a separate alchemy sect in ancient times, and because of the particularity of this sect, it will be the object of many sects' thoughts day and night, no matter what era. Under such circumstances, one will either rise to great heights and become the darling of the times, or be brutally wiped out and become the tragedy of the times. Therefore, often in an era when cultivation of immortality is prosperous, among the largest sects of cultivation of immortality, there will be an alchemy sect among them.
According to the alchemy skills and experience memories left by Yan Yi, alchemy focuses on the right time, place, and harmony.
The so-called heavenly hour actually refers to the time when spiritual energy is most abundant. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth will change at different times of the day, and this change will be reflected in the celestial phenomena, so it is called heavenly time. That is to say, we must choose the time when the spiritual energy is most abundant. This is also the reason why alchemy cannot rise in today's modern era when spiritual energy is exhausted. And this spiritual energy must be real spiritual energy. Dragon energy is useless. Zulong The dragon energy is useless. This is why in ancient times, sects that made alchemy would choose places with abundant spiritual energy. Although Ye Feng had made so-called elixirs before, that was not a true elixir, but a condensation of Yuan Qi that contained Ye Feng's huge life force. It is completely different from the real elixir
The geographical location refers to the suitable environment for the medicinal materials in the alchemy process, such as temperature, humidity, sealing, etc. The most critical element is the alchemy furnace. A good alchemy furnace can better provide the alchemy furnace with Stable temperature, humidity and good confined space greatly improve the stability and success rate of alchemy.
In fact, alchemy furnaces are also divided into grades, which are low-grade, medium-grade, top-grade and top-grade. In the past, there was a ranking list of alchemy furnaces in the alchemy world, and even the top ten top alchemy furnaces were selected. For example, the Heaven and Earth Furnace, the Huntian Furnace, the Earth Kun Furnace, the Xuanyin Furnace, the Bagua Furnace, etc. Ye Feng had heard the name Bagua furnace before. Because the alchemy furnace of Taishang Zhenjun in Journey to the West is the Tai Chi Bagua furnace.
There are also related memory expressions in Yan Yi's memory, but Ye Feng doesn't recognize any of those alchemy furnaces. After all, there are still very few records on alchemy in reality. Moreover, Ye Feng knew that even a top alchemy genius like Yan Yi himself, the alchemy furnace he used was only a middle-grade alchemy furnace that was not even ranked in the top 100. You can imagine how rare the alchemy furnace is.
Humanity refers to the mastery of the alchemist's alchemy techniques, the appropriate control of the fire, the proficiency in the manipulation of strange fires, the order and timing of adding medicinal materials into the furnace, and the timing of the elixir, etc. All in all, this is where the true technical strength of an alchemist is reflected. Here, the alchemist needs to practice hard for countless days and months. Every effort is rewarded, and there are no shortcuts. The system in the novel often completes this work for the host, but Ye Feng does not. This is also the fundamental reason why Ye Feng cannot achieve alchemy overnight.
What is worth mentioning here is the manipulation of strange fire. Strange fire is the essence of all fires, and it is also the supreme pursuit that all alchemists dream of. It can provide a steady stream of flames and make it possible to maintain a stable temperature in the furnace, so the method of controlling abnormal fire is the key. At the same time, some flames with special attributes will have unexpected effects on the refined elixirs. For example, strange fires containing frost attributes can increase the efficacy of refined ice-attribute elixirs several times. And this is just one of the small magical uses of strange fire. To put it simply, an alchemist with strange fire and an alchemist without strange fire are completely different concepts.
Generally speaking, making an elixir involves selecting the main materials, putting them into the furnace, refining the essence, adding other auxiliary materials in a certain order, refining the auxiliary materials, fusing the main and auxiliary materials with spiritual energy to finally make the elixir, and finally opening the furnace to collect the elixir. During the entire process, we must not relax our control over the heat.
The refined elixirs are also divided into grades and grades.
Levels are usually divided based on the level of immortality suitable for using elixirs.
The grade here depends on the pill patterns generated on the surface of the elixir. One to two pill patterns are low grade, three or four pill patterns are medium grade, five or six pill patterns are top grade, seven or eight pill patterns are top grade, and nine pill patterns are considered top grade. It is the best elixir. The number of elixir patterns in elixirs can only be nine at most, because nine has been the representative of extremes since ancient times. The legendary elixir with nine elixir patterns can no longer be called an elixir, but should be called a spiritual elixir. Because at this moment the elixir has developed spiritual intelligence and will escape. After all, if you don't run away, you will be eaten. Of course, intelligent things are not stupid, but this is just a legend.
Generally, if the realm of monks exceeds the level of elixir by 2 major realms, it will be useless. For example, a middle-grade elixir at the foundation building level is barely useful at the golden elixir level, but it is useless at the Nascent Soul level.
