I'm a cannon fodder, and it makes sense to know XNUMX million points of skills, right?

Chapter 68 The first alchemy, success!

Zhong Lingge moved Jiang Xingming's huge alchemy cauldron, took out the first-order super-grade small alchemy cauldron he got from Wu Gao, and forced a drop of blood from his fingertips into the furnace.

With a flash of red light, she had a mental connection with the white and translucent alchemy furnace.

Most alchemy furnaces do not have the Five Elements attribute, and this one is no exception. Zhong Lingge patiently sensed the formation runes in the furnace, and manipulated them with his spiritual power and consciousness for a while, and they became familiar with each other.

There are very few elixirs that can be refined in a first-level alchemy furnace, even if the material on hand is not bad. This is because the spiritual flames used to make alchemy are powerful. No matter how good a first-level alchemy furnace is, the materials cannot withstand long-term use. Time roasts.

However, the spiritual power and consciousness of the monks in the Qi refining stage is not strong enough, and they cannot refine several pills.

Zhong Lingge didn't have the ambition to reach the sky in one step, so she planned to start with the simplest Bigu Pill.

Bigu Pill is a non-grade elixir. The spiritual energy and medicinal properties contained in it are very mild. Even a strong mortal can break it and eat it. It is a basic elixir that is necessary for Qi Refining monks to go out.

The price of a bottle of Bigu Dan on the market ranges from [-] to [-]. The more expensive the product, the better the appearance and efficacy, and the longer it will last.

Xingming Dan Pharmacy is a well-known store in the nearby city. Naturally, the most basic Bigu Dan ingredients are indispensable. Zhong Lingge rummaged through the medicine cabinet and quickly found wild grass.

Yaxiu is one of the most common monsters in the lower realm. They do not need to eat when they are born, and can survive by relying on spiritual energy. A kind of blue and white four-leaf clover will grow where they live. Long, long ago, ancient times Xiujiu discovered that this substance could be used to refine the Bigu Pill.

Zhong Lingge used his spiritual consciousness to take out twenty pieces of wild grass, and according to the guidance of the alchemy mantra, he first used the wood spirit power to remove the impurities.This process is very time-consuming and labor-intensive. It requires dividing the spiritual consciousness into extremely fine strands, drawing the wood spiritual power into the spiritual plants to search for impurities, and then removing them one by one.

Most spiritual plants are more fragile than monks and can be injured accidentally. Once damaged, they can no longer be used to make elixirs.

If a novice starts, the loss rate is extremely high, and even ordinary clan disciples cannot afford such a large consumption.

Coupled with the fact that the resources in the lower realm are becoming increasingly scarce, contemporary alchemists have abandoned this step and directly use the spirit flame to refine the spirit plant liquid, and then remove impurities during refining.As long as the technique of opening the seals is exquisite enough, a pill of excellent quality can be produced.

Zhong Lingge didn't intend to save trouble.

She believes that every step of the Four Arts Mantra is not nonsense. According to her understanding, if it is refined once during the spiritual planting stage, the starting point will be higher when the furnace is opened, and the refined medicinal liquid will already win at the starting line.

The alchemy mantra also says that damaged spiritual plants can be used to refine inferior elixirs, which cannot reach the grade and quality of super-grade elixirs, but it is not difficult to refine them well to produce top-grade elixirs.

"Hiss, it's quite difficult." Zhong Lingge failed the first time she tried. Her consciousness was not divided finely enough. She used too much force as soon as she found the impurities, and the wood spiritual power induced was too strong, destroying the veins of the wild grass. One was broken by the shock.

She quickly threw the broken wild grass into the medicine cabinet and sealed it. The medicine cabinets in the elixir shop were specially made, and the inside had the same sealing effect as the storage bag. The medicinal materials would not lose their aura and medicinal properties for hundreds of years after being put in them.

The second time, Zhong Lingge gained experience, and her consciousness was differentiated to the limit she could control. When she activated her spiritual power again, she became much gentler.But in this way, the impurities hidden in the wild grass were not easy to find. She finally found the first impurity until her scalp went numb.

Removing impurities is even more difficult.

She devoted herself wholeheartedly to it, using her consciousness and spiritual power to wrap up the tiny impurities in the floating dust, and try to avoid taking away the juice of the plant itself.

Once Zhong Lingge immersed himself in the four arts, he had endless patience and showed no sign of his usual laziness.She had no shortage of opportunity, talent, and hard work, so she successfully forced out the impurities on her second try.Wild grass has a lot of impurities, so Zhong Lingge spent more than an hour and finally got twenty pure grass leaves in good condition.

"Wow, Lingge, why do I feel that these grasses suddenly become fragrant." Lin Xiaojiu sensed through his soul consciousness that the Lingcao was completely different from just now. There was no external change, and the medicinal fragrance was twice as strong.

"I also discovered it! It's better to purify it first!" Zhong Lingge relaxed after being excited, and then realized that [-]% of his spiritual power and [-]% of his spiritual consciousness were consumed. "It just consumes too much. No wonder no one wants to do this step."

Fortunately, refining Bigu Pill itself is not difficult, and there are ready-made spirit flame talismans here. There is no need to turn on the furnace. Zhong Lingge decided to take a break and start refining.

She took out the spiritual tea and fruit wine given by the third senior sister to replenish her mind and spirit without leaving any hidden dangers, and her recovery was no slower than the elixir.

When the spiritual power was sufficient and the sea of ​​consciousness had recovered by [-]% or [-]%, Zhong Lingge took out a spiritual flame talisman specially used for alchemy and placed it in the ground fire ditch to activate it.

The orange-red flame is very stable and the temperature is extremely high. It is very hot and comfortable on the face.

Zhong Lingge put the small white stove on and used his spiritual consciousness to control the heat evenly.

When the small white stove emitted just the right amount of heat, Zhong Lingge felt something in her heart and put the pure grass blades with impurities removed into the stove. In just an instant, the grass blades changed from solid to liquid.

The blue-white grass blades turn into a very light blue once melted, and the liquid is translucent, making it easy to see the dark gray debris refined by the flames.

This was the discarded part of the grass that could not withstand refining. Zhong Lingge had experience with it, and he easily picked out the impurities, leaving only the increasingly opaque liquid swaying in the furnace.

When the liquid became viscous and almost gray in color, Zhong Lingge cut the liquid into ten even parts with his spiritual consciousness, and began to form seals with his hands to refine the elixir.

The most critical step in alchemy is the technique. Fortunately, it has been passed down exquisitely, and even a monk with zero understanding can make a few elixirs.Once a person with understanding learns the subtle inheritance, there are infinite possibilities in the path of alchemy.

The principles of the four arts are interlinked. Zhong Lingge was lucky enough to receive the guidance of the mantra, and he was born with the understanding, interest, and sufficient resources to practice. He felt that he was very handy the first time he refined it.

As he turned his hands, fingernail-sized aura runes jumped out continuously and sank lightly into the small white furnace, making a buzzing sound when struck.

The aura runes are the key to condensing the elixir. Zhong Lingge concentrated on making the last elixir condensation hand seal. The hand-sized runes flashed into the furnace, causing the elixir furnace to shake and roar.

Zhong Lingge used all his spiritual power to control Xiaobai Lu and stabilize the rioting pills inside.

A sharp chirping sound sounded, and streams of white smoke rushed out from the holes of the alchemy furnace, which meant that the elixir was ready!

"Success!"

Zhong Lingge was so happy that he jumped up on the spot, extinguished the nearly burned-out spirit flame talisman, ran over, opened the furnace lid, and looked inside.

Ten round, gray-white elixirs were standing in the furnace. They looked in good condition to the naked eye. The white hot steam was blowing towards the face, which was the familiar smell of bigu elixirs.
