Tianyun Sect, Yiyue Peak Houyam Garden
Inside the house, Qiye let out a breath of turbid air.
At this point, the first step of extracting the medicinal solution was finally successful...
The next step is to remove impurities. Before this, Qiye had been simulating using the power of divine consciousness to remove impurities from the medicinal liquid.
However, there are many and trivial impurities in each drop of medicinal liquid. Using spiritual consciousness to remove them is not only very laborious, but also impossible to completely remove them.
Thinking about this, Qiye suddenly thought of the slender soul spider thread.
Wouldn’t it be great if spider silk could be used to remove impurities without any effort or effort?
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it became.
Just do it. After repeated practice in Qiye, you can basically communicate with souls while you are conscious.
Looking at the blazing fire in the alchemy cauldron, with a thought, hundreds of soul spider threads that were countless to the naked eye suddenly flew out from his fingertips.
The spider silk passed through the eye of the wind, penetrated into the alchemy cauldron like a waterfall, and flew towards the few drops of medicinal liquid.
Gently shake your fingers, feel the movement of the spider silk, and make constant adjustments.
The spider silk is divided into several veins, and impurities are removed from a few drops of medicinal solution at the same time. The meticulous spider threads are lined up in a row and inserted into the liquid to remove impurities the size of tiny particles. Just like a comb-like filter, it quickly "sweeps" out impurities...
The whole process was smooth and seamless, without any sloppiness, and its accuracy is staggering.
Seeing such a perfect operation, Qiye couldn't help but be surprised:
I didn't expect that this soul spider silk could be used to make elixirs, it would be a great weapon!
The more he looked at the soul spider silk, the more he liked it, and the more he looked at it, the more he looked forward to it: I wonder what other unknown uses this spider silk has?
I believe I will know more and more in the future...
Using soul spider silk, the task of removing impurities that used to be very laborious has now become very simple.
With such ease, the most important step in determining the quality of the elixir is solved.
It’s really weird and incredible...
In a matter of moments, the impurities in the liquid medicine were completely removed.
Next is the third step of alchemy: fusion.
In the virtual practice, Qiye could not imagine the various changes in the fusion of the medicinal liquid. Therefore, he had a blank slate and could not predict the reaction when the two medicinal liquids merged, so he needed to be more cautious.
With this mental preparation, Qiye slowly manipulated his spiritual consciousness, slowly brought the two drops of medicinal liquid closer, and continued to contact, penetrate, and fuse... He was meticulous and cautious in every tiny move.
Soon, the liquid medicine merged and produced incomprehensible smoke, which made his heart tighten and his heartbeat suddenly tightened:
"What exactly is going on?"
Countless possibilities regarding this issue flashed through Qiye's mind, and as the white smoke became thicker and thicker, most of the two drops of medicine soon evaporated...
"Is this... a temperature difference!?"
Soon, he realized that what he could not simulate during virtual practice was temperature and reaction changes. This requires you to make up for the lack of virtual practice through actual situations in real operations.
Because the density of each liquid medicine is different, just like water and oil will separate at room temperature. Only by adjusting the fusion temperature between the two can the two liquids with different densities be smoothly fused together.
Having once again learned the lessons of failure, Qiye made another "comeback" unwilling to be discouraged.
The areas that failed in each previous step were consolidated again: liquid extraction, impurity removal, fusion...
Qiye carefully manipulated the flame temperature, heating each liquid medicine to a different optimal temperature, and then began to fuse it again...
This time the liquid medicine blended together very smoothly, without rejection or separation, just like two crystal clear dewdrops on a lotus leaf, naturally coming together.
At this stage, Qiye has done the first three steps very skillfully and freely. After completing three steps in one go, we finally reached the last step: condensing the pill!
For this last step, during Qiye's virtual practice, I had a good grasp of the principle. Although this step does not consume as much spiritual consciousness as the previous step, the result of condensation determines the final success or failure of the elixir.
Looking at the five-color medicinal liquid fused together in the alchemy cauldron, Qiye secretly sweated in his heart.
Success or failure depends on this step!
Huh~, Qiye took a deep breath, without taking a moment's rest. While he was slowly getting better, he poured all his spiritual power into the alchemy cauldron. His spiritual power tightly wrapped the five-color medicine liquid like a cloud.
Put your palms together and control your consciousness to squeeze the spiritual energy. The spiritual power is affected by external forces, and the inside begins to shrink and compact, and the medicinal liquid also continues to compress its volume as the internal space of the spiritual power shrinks.
Seeing that the originally scattered medicinal liquid was gradually becoming rounder, Qiye felt happy in his heart. Just when he was about to add more force and crush the liquid completely in one go.
Suddenly, I became alert:
There have been several times before when I thought I would succeed by doing this, but I failed...
So, don't be careless.
People often fail based on feeling good about themselves. In fact, this completely idealistic approach without considering the actual situation is the root of failure.
"Don't be careless..."
Qiye muttered silently, trying his best to adjust his somewhat urgent and impetuous mood.
If you speed up the coagulation speed blindly, not only will it fail, but the liquid medicine that is constantly filling will be completely crushed due to excessive pressure.
Haste makes waste. The process of condensing the elixir is a process in which the medicinal solution is constantly changing and full. Only under appropriate external pressure will the medicinal solution slowly become mellow and solid.
If you blindly pursue speed and exceed the limit of pressure, the liquid medicine will completely break up.
Looking at the medicinal liquid that was slowly turning into a pill, Qiye felt a lot of emotion in his heart:
You will gain wisdom when you encounter difficulties. When making elixirs, you should not be impatient or impatient.
The actual alchemy this time was also quite fruitful. Not only did I correct my shortcomings and mistakes in the virtual practice, but I also discovered another use of the soul spider silk.
At the same time, my mood has also been improved.
After such a night of tireless elixir refining, Qiye finally succeeded and refined the finished elixir.
Although he still couldn't reach the level of elixir, he could actually refine the elixir in just one night. With this alone, he was far ahead of those Dantong disciples.
Looking at the round and smooth elixir in the palm of his hand, feeling the warm residual warmth in his palm, and gently smelling the rich elixir fragrance, Qiyexin felt a proud sense of accomplishment.
When a person completely relies on his own ability to accomplish something that is difficult and has a high failure rate, what he often gets in the end is not only ideological or material gains, but also spiritual recognition and this wonderful enjoyment. It is the source of continuous cultivation of self-confidence.
The elixir Qiye refined this time was just an ordinary elixir for curing common wind and cold diseases. Although spiritual practitioners are basically not prone to colds, this elixir is a rare medicine for ordinary people.
When all Dantong disciples first start refining elixirs, they often choose to refine elixirs for common diseases of ordinary people as a way to practice their skills.
Wait until you are technically proficient, and then start refining the high-grade elixirs for spiritual practice. This is basically a step-by-step method adopted by most Dantong disciples.
"Finally, it's done. Once I'm proficient, I'll go find some high-grade elixir recipes to practice..."
Qiye planned in his mind.
Put the elixir away and look at the sky outside the window. It is getting brighter now...
When he didn't know how to refine the elixir, it was the beginning of a new day. Feeling a little tired, he took out more than twenty spiritual stones, crushed them all, and then activated the Huntian Wheel to quickly absorb these spiritual energy to replenish the consumed physical strength...
After a while, Qiye walked out of bed in high spirits.
Remove the flame from the alchemy cauldron and put the alchemy cauldron away.
Then he walked out of the warm hut and started the day's work.
When he arrived at the alchemy room, he handed over the fresh medicinal materials he collected to the alchemy disciples, and then still stood silently in the corner of the door.
Now, I have mastered the alchemy steps by heart. If I practice diligently, I can reach the level of a junior alchemist in the alchemy room.
Therefore, now he has nothing to learn from when it comes to the experimental alchemy of those Dantong disciples.
What he has to do is to find ways to obtain the elixir and try to refine the product-grade elixir.
The elixir recipe is no better than the elixir that can be purchased on the market. It is equivalent to a secret recipe in cooking.
A secret formula can sell a store, and a prescription can sell a pill. The higher the grade of the prescription, the harder it is to obtain it.
While Qiye was boredly looking at the other people in the alchemy room, he suddenly glanced out of the corner of his eye and noticed a scroll spread out on a desk at the front of the alchemy room.
"That's... Danfang!"
Qiye looked at it carefully again and again and confirmed calmly.
The elder of the alchemy room was really generous and put the alchemy prescription on the table at will. Although it was too far away to see the text recorded on it, he could still tell from the appearance of the Danfang carrier that it was Danfang.
For more than a month, Qi Ye could often see the old alchemists taking out scroll-style pill recipes in the alchemy room and studying them in detail.
If you have never eaten pork, have you never seen a pig running?
At this moment, Qiye was filled with joy:
Really, whatever you think about comes to you. When you doze off and meet the pillow, true love is nothing more than that, right?
Hehe... He smiled excitedly and scanned the alchemy room carefully again. This time he didn't see the old alchemists. There were only two or three young alchemists guiding the Dantong disciples in alchemy.
What a great opportunity!
As long as the old alchemist is not around, no one will be able to discover his little tricks: he has already thought of a good way to spy on him, which is to use the soul spider silk.
It's just that due to the old alchemist's spiritual consciousness, he didn't dare to take action. Now that it was confirmed that there was no old alchemist present, he had no worries.
Qiye's arms naturally hung down on his back, and with a slight movement of his fingers, a soul spider thread floated out from his fingertips.
The hair-thin soul spider silk is difficult to see clearly with the naked eye, and is difficult to detect even with spiritual consciousness. But he can clearly feel the traveling route of the soul spider thread.
The soul spider thread spiraled up the pillar like a snake, then went around the beam, reached the innermost part of the alchemy room, and then hung down from the beam, landing vertically on the scroll.
Sensing that the bridge had been built, Qiye slightly released his consciousness and sped away along the soul spider thread...
The consciousness travels on the spider silk, just like the electric current transmitted on the optical cable. He reached the front end of the other end in an instant, and then his spiritual consciousness sank into the scroll and copied all the information.
After doing all this, his spiritual consciousness returned as quickly as electricity, and the soul spider silk was withdrawn.
"First-grade elixir: Heart-Strengthening Pill, which can forcibly stimulate life and save people from difficulties. Ingredients required: Gastrodia elata, fire ants, Sanqingcao, purple fruit...refining method..."
The information about the pill recipe came into my mind, and to my surprise, I happened to have all the medicinal ingredients for refining the heart-strengthening pill.
This time I went shopping and purchased a large amount of medicinal materials for refining first- and second-grade elixirs at one time.
After memorizing the pill formula, I felt that the effect of this heart-strengthening pill is very similar to a heart-stabilizing needle. It can forcibly stimulate the vitality of the injured person when his life is about to be exhausted.
However, this elixir is not always effective. It has no effect at all on the injured who are too seriously injured and whose spiritual power is completely exhausted.
