Chapter 416: Wood Element Condensing Gold Elixir Formed
Under the baking of charcoal fire, the Lingxu Cauldron continuously exudes a burst of heat that lingers around the camp. This is the unique thing about Lingxu Cauldron. The baking charcoal fire will not condense in one place of the cauldron, but the heat will be evenly dispersed. This prevents the herbs in the cauldron from being destroyed due to excessive heat in one place.
It’s just that with such a good alchemy furnace, we still failed so many times, we can’t cover it up with bad luck. There should be something wrong with some part of you.
Lu Xiaotian thought for a moment, and in addition to the main soul, he also transferred the second and third souls who were deducing the formation and studying the "Soul Swallowing Technique", and focused all their attention on it. Spent on refining the golden elixir.
As usual, first throw several auxiliary spiritual objects into the cauldron.
Not long after, bursts of strange fragrance began to emit from the cauldron. Lu Xiaotian took out another wood-based golden fruit, also named the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Fruit, and threw it into the Lingxu Cauldron.
Spiritual energy emanates from the seven orifices of the Ningjin Fruit, and the spiritual power emitted from each orifice is uniform in size. These seven spiritual powers quickly merged with the juice formed by the auxiliary spiritual objects in the cauldron. The spiritual liquid in the Lingxu Cauldron quickly merged into a ball and rolled repeatedly. However, during the rolling process, Lu Xiaotian found that the spiritual liquid group seemed to be splitting. He could not detect it when he used the main soul alone. After all, he still had to take care of the fire. When he refined most of the elixirs in the past, due to the improvement of his alchemy level, he had become accustomed to using only the main spirit. Now that I have experienced too many failures, I made a conscious effort to use both the second and third souls, and then unexpectedly discovered this strange thing when the elixir was formed.
Each kind of spiritual object contains different spiritual energy due to different growth years. The older the spiritual object is, the more spiritual energy it contains. Usually after a certain number of years, they stop growing.
For each furnace of elixirs, you can also choose the appropriate number of elixirs based on the spiritual power contained in the spiritual object. The higher the level of alchemy, some alchemists can refine two elixirs in one furnace. One, or even three, or more. (Thanks to book friend Fengfeng Feifei for his suggestion. The previous setting of producing one elixir from one material was indeed somewhat inappropriate. Here is another explanation, hoping to make things right.)
But the level is poor. Some, especially a very precious elixir, are hard to come by, so they will choose to be on the safe side and successfully refine one first. In the process of saving Ladan, because of greed, the whole batch of elixirs failed. As for the extra spiritual energy, it was naturally wasted.
Through his years of experience in alchemy, Lu Xiaotian has achieved a very high elixir-making rate on the extremely skillful Huitian Pill, Red Bamboo Pill, and Ziyang Pill required for the later stages of foundation building. The spiritual objects are ripened to the extreme age, so that several pills can be refined in one furnace.
As for this kind of golden elixir that has not yet been refined, he will only mature it within the barrier to a certain age, so that a lot of spiritual stones can be wasted.
I didn’t expect that after the Ningjin Fruit is refined into elixir, it will produce seven streams of spiritual liquid of the same size. When they are merged and reassembled, there will be such extremely subtle splits. Every small During the changes, a small amount of spiritual energy seemed to have quietly escaped.
Lu Xiaotian stared intently at the liquid mass in the Lingxu Cauldron. When it finally solidified into a pill, it still turned into a gold-condensing pill with only 50% to 60% potency. It's still not of much use, but fortunately it can convert a considerable amount of spiritual energy into the barrier.
But at this time, Lu Xiaotian's eyes were full of joy. He unexpectedly used three souls to refine the elixir, and discovered that the reason why the previous refining failed was that the spiritual object he provided was insufficient in spiritual power. Although he prevented the slight splitting effects of the Golden Condensation Pill during the solidification process, he would lose part of his spiritual energy every time. Although he had no problem controlling the fire, the spiritual energy consumed would once If there is too much, the refined Gold Condensing Pill will naturally lose its aura and fail to achieve the desired effect of the Gold Condensing Pill. Lu Xiaotian is not afraid of failure, but he is extremely angry about the kind of failure that cannot find the reason. In the final analysis, in order to reduce the loss of spiritual stones, when he ripened the Ningjin Fruit in the barrier, he only ripened it to a certain age. Although he left a certain amount of room, the room was not enough compared to the loss of spiritual energy. This was the crux of his failure in alchemy in the past few years.
After figuring out the reason, Lu Xiaotian did not start refining the pill immediately. Instead, after calming down the excitement in his heart, he cleaned the pill furnace in an orderly manner. The spiritual objects in the barrier were ripened again, and this time the spiritual power contained in them was increased by about twenty years.
The fire started to rise again.
The process is exactly the same as what I experienced before. A lot of spiritual energy was lost during the splitting process. The refining still failed this time, because in addition to the lost spiritual energy, the refining material condensed the entire There is still a certain amount of surplus spiritual power in the condensed gold pill. When Lu Xiaotian tried to knead these spiritual powers together, the refining of the condensed gold fruit failed again because of the excess spiritual power.
Not only the Golden Condensation Pill, but all elixirs are like this. It will definitely not work if there is less spiritual power, and it will not work if there is too much spiritual power. A finished elixir has a perfect balance of spiritual power within it, with not one bit too much and not one bit too little.
This was repeated until the early morning of the third day, when the morning sun began to rise.
A clear laughter sounded from the backyard, shaking throughout Maple Leaf Valley.
Several foundation-building monks in Maple Leaf Valley looked in the direction of the backyard with great amazement. They had never been in contact with the strange silver-haired young man, and they had been a little displeased before, but since they witnessed the silver-haired young man and After the Black Abyss Elephant battle left a mess, he no longer dared to have any contempt for it. I don’t know what kind of happy event the other party has encountered, but he is smiling so happily. Could it be that he has achieved a breakthrough in practicing some powerful technique? Just feeling the powerful aura fluctuations from a distance, no matter how slow their reactions were, they knew that the silver-haired young man turned out to be a late-stage foundation-building monk. His cultivation level was so high that he was probably not inferior to the family master.
Lu Xiaotian stopped laughing and played with a green and transparent elixir with amazing aura in his hand. Suddenly it was the first wood-type gold-condensing elixir he had refined. , finally let him refine it. The successful refining of the wood-type gold-condensing elixir also marked his official becoming a senior alchemist. The entire Wangyue Cultivation World, or in other words, Tianqiong, Nanhuang, and other Cultivation Worlds. Within any sect, the value and status of a senior alchemist are greater than that of an ordinary golden elixir monk.
Lu Xiaotian held his chin, put away the wood-type gold-condensing elixir, closed his eyes and recalled the process of refining the elixir just now. After a while, the wheelchair rumbled around, and the person was already outside the yard. Refining alchemy does not mean practicing all the time. Understanding the process of refining alchemy is also a form of alchemy. At ordinary times, Lu Xiaotian can quickly adjust his mood to calm. But the great joy caused by the success of the Condensing Gold Pill cannot be forcibly calmed down for a while. If he attempts to refine elixirs in an unstable state of mind, with his current level, he will most likely fail. Now that the first Gold Condensing Pill has been refined, there is no need to be too anxious about the rest.
