Ye Jiuyou also didn't expect that she would be able to skillfully control fire and deal with more than a dozen spiritual plants when she made alchemy for the first time.
After thinking about it for a moment, it was probably because Suzaku was her contracted beast, so Nanming Lihuo was particularly in tune with her.
After the spiritual plants are processed, they are refined.
This step is similar to refining spiritual liquid.
Ye Jiuyou simultaneously extracted the essence from a dozen spiritual plants in the alchemy furnace, and then used fire to fuse them all together.
At this point it's time to rely solely on mental power to control the fire.
Only then did Ye Jiuyou realize how difficult it was to make alchemy.
No wonder many people fail to become alchemists in their lifetimes. It should be because their mental strength is not strong enough and they cannot master the fire, which leads to the failure of alchemy.
Ye Jiuyou calmed down, and directed his spiritual power towards Nanming Lihuo, gradually controlling the size of the flames completely in his own hands.
A quarter of an hour later, round bead shapes appeared faintly in the orange-red flames.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and a bright light flashed in Ye Jiuyou's eyes. There was a porcelain bottle in her hand, and she suddenly flew up.
At the same time, the lid of the alchemy furnace opened, and several pills flew out from it.
Ye Jiuyou's spiritual power surged in his hand, and he gathered all ten pills into the porcelain bottle.
The elixir fell into the porcelain bottle, and she slowly flew to the ground. She frowned slightly and looked at the ten elixirs in the porcelain bottle, "Why only ten?"
On the other side, Mr. Qian also refined a furnace of clear and turbid pills. When he heard Ye Jiuyou's words, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
He quickly came to Ye Jiuyou's side, "Ten pieces are still too few for you?"
Ye Jiuyou shook the porcelain bottle in his hand and said with some regret: "I thought there would be twenty."
"Ouch, ouch, my heart hurts!" Mr. Qian covered his heart in an exaggerated manner, "I am a fourth-level alchemist now, and I can only refine ten pills. You made ten pills for the first time. Are you still too young? I simply have no shame in living!"
Ye Jiuyou pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she looked at Mr. Qian who was showing heartache with an innocent face, "Mr. Qian, do you think the quality of the elixir I refined is like?"
Mr. Qian took the porcelain bottle from her, poured out an elixir and examined it. The more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, "You, you actually refined a low-grade elixir into a high-grade one!!!"
He shook his head in shock as he spoke, "I have been an alchemist for so many years, this is simply unheard of! Pills without grades will not have grades at all! Just like Bigu Pills, they will only be ordinary pills !”
Ye Jiuyou raised his hand and touched his chin, recalling Huanyun Continent's knowledge about alchemy, "It seems like this..."
"It's against the heavens! It's too heaven-defying!" Mr. Qian put the elixir back into the porcelain bottle, "Miss Ye, please practice the elixir again quickly and let me see!"
Ye Jiuyou nodded and sat back in front of the alchemy furnace.
This time she went to get double spiritual plants at once. When she controlled the fire just now, she felt that a dozen plants were a bit too few. If there were a dozen more plants, it would be more than enough for her spiritual power.
When Mr. Qian saw this scene, his eyes widened and he almost fell out.
But he didn't dare to stop it. Thinking that Ye Jiuyou had just refined it in this way, he must take a closer look at how she did it.
Ye Jiuyou sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, his eyes fixed on the flames in the alchemy furnace. He skillfully classified and arranged all the spiritual plants, then wrapped each spiritual plant with flames and began to roast them.
When Mr. Qian saw this, he was already sweating on his forehead.
This was a bit profound for him. He couldn't even understand it, nor could he understand how Ye Jiuyou did it.
Even his master has never refined elixirs like this!
Having had his first experience in making alchemy, Ye Jiuyou handled the spiritual plants with ease, roasting, refining, and fusing them, doing every step with ease.
Behind her, Mr. Qian's face was already covered with sweat. His eyes were constantly staring at the changes in the alchemy furnace, for fear that he would miss any detail.
However, the mystery and profundity of it all made Mr. Qian unable to understand it. His eagerness to understand the mystery caused his brain to work rapidly and sweat frequently.
"It's done!" Ye Jiuyou said, flying up on his toes, and the moment the lid of the alchemy furnace was opened, he put the elixir into the porcelain bottle.
This time, there were thirty pills!
There was surprise in Ye Jiuyou's eyes. It seemed that the number of pills was related to the number of spiritual plants put in.
"Quick, help me!" Mr. Qian looked at the scene of Ye Jiuyou collecting the pills, and his steps were shaky and he could not stand steadily.
Shui Ying and Xing Chen immediately stepped forward to support him, while Yue Luo took a cup of warm tea from the side and said, "Drink the tea and feel relieved."
Qian Lao drank all the tea in his cup and looked at Ye Jiuyou who was walking over, "Miss Ye, from now on, you must be the number one alchemist in Xi Yan Kingdom!"
"I am still a low-level alchemist." Ye Jiuyou smiled and handed the elixir to him, "Can you help me take a look again?"
Qian Lao waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't read it. If I continue to read it, I'm afraid my Taoist heart will be unstable!"
He walked slowly towards his alchemy furnace, and then said: "Let's make alchemy without disturbing each other until dawn."
Ye Jiuyou nodded, "Okay, maybe these pills will come in handy tomorrow."
...
At dawn the next day, thirty porcelain bottles were placed around Ye Jiuyou, but there were fewer porcelain bottles around Qian Lao, only a dozen bottles.
However, most of Ye Jiuyou's porcelain vases have more than thirty pieces, while Qian Lao's porcelain bottles all have ten pieces.
The two of them put away their alchemy furnaces and began to regulate their breathing.
Unlike staying up all night, refining alchemy consumes mental energy, so the two of them did not have much effect and could only barely stay awake.
Ye Jiuyou thought for a while and took out two bowls of lake water from the space. "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Qian. I have some sweet spring water here, drink some."
After the two drank the lake water, they felt a lot more comfortable.
Mr. Qian said in surprise: "This water is sweet. I wonder what kind of water it is?"
Ye Jiuyou said with a smile: "It's the mountain spring water I got by accident. It's nothing special."
Mr. Qian didn't ask any more questions and turned to look out the window. "It's already getting bright. Today is the day of His Majesty's enthronement. Let's go to the front hall as soon as possible!"
The group of people hurriedly arrived at the front hall.
There are already many people in the square of the main hall, and they are all busy preparing for the start of the enthronement ceremony.
Xiaorou saw Ye Jiuyou appear and hurried over, "Miss, come with me quickly. Today is your big day, so you must dress up well."
Ye Jiuyou nodded and said to Yue Luo: "Yue Luo, come with me. Shui Ying and Xing Chen will follow grandpa."
