Chapter 10 Alchemy
The elixir recipe recorded by Zhao Zhengyuan is a kind of elixir called Chuyuan Dan, which can greatly improve the cultivation level of monks in the Qi training period.
Of course, this refers to the effect of the original recipe.
Now that one of the main ingredients, 'Yunshengguo', has been replaced by the common 'Tenthus Fruit', even if the elixir can be refined, it is hard to say whether it will still have the original effect.
Chen Lin first briefly processed the raw materials and divided them into ten portions according to the weight on the recipe.
Then pick up the simple alchemy furnace.
It is said to be an alchemy furnace, but it is actually an iron pot with a unique shape, and it is not a magic weapon. It does not increase the success rate of alchemy.
Using such equipment, not only can only the lowest-end elixirs be refined, but the success rate is said to be very impressive.
However, a truly high-grade alchemy furnace is a high-end product. Let alone whether it can be purchased, even if it is actually for sale, he cannot afford it.
Only ten ingredients for alchemy consumed less than half of the spiritual stones he risked his life to get.
Putting the alchemy furnace on the ground, Chen Lin took out the fuel specially used for alchemy, placed it in and ignited it.
For more advanced elixirs, you need to use the alchemist's Samadhi True Fire, or special fire sources such as earth fire and spiritual fire.
If this elixir recipe had not been modified, given the characteristics of Yunshengguo, it cannot be refined with ordinary fuel. However, after changing it to Shixiangguo, this problem does not exist.
Under the blowing of the hand-cranked fan, the fuel burned more and more vigorously, and soon it turned red.
Chen Lin took a breath, lit half of the Jingxin Incense that he had saved when refining the soul-binding talisman, and began to put the materials into the alchemy furnace in order.
Logically speaking, a beginner like him should first refine all the materials into semi-finished products one by one, and then fuse them together.
Such crude methods are only used by senior alchemists when they are refining elixirs that they are already very familiar with.
But his situation is different. All he wants is that the refining method is reasonable.
The alchemy furnace was slowly moved and rotated.
The flame also waxes and wanes with the rotation speed of the fan.
After half an hour and adding fuel several times, the ingredients in the pot began to melt and slowly boiled into a paste.
Chen Lin didn't know if this situation was correct. Anyway, it was similar to what was recorded in the prescription, so he started to take the next step, adding the main ingredient, Shixiangguo.
“Bang!”
The spiced fruit had just been thrown in, like throwing an open flame into dynamite. It exploded with a bang, shaking the entire iron pot. Fly, the medicine paste inside collapsed everywhere.
Chen Lin walked away and hurriedly wiped off the medicine residue on his face.
Ignoring the big blisters on my face, I quickly put out the fire, then came to the table and checked the remaining materials.
After seeing that all the materials were not damaged, I breathed a sigh of relief.
“I didn’t expect alchemy to be so dangerous, no wonder there are so few alchemists.”
Muttered, Chen Lin started to clean up the mess, and then set up the alchemy furnace again.
Then I went outside and checked every room. When I saw that no one was there, I felt relieved and returned to the house to continue refining alchemy.
Other beginners may want to delve into the cause of the problem at this time, but he only thinks about the number of quick brushes.
But he learned the lesson this time and added several pieces of clothing to himself, and wrapped his head and hands tightly to prevent being burned again.
The steps are still the same.
When it was time to put in the spiced fruit again, it exploded with a bang.
Chen Lin, who had been prepared for a long time, was not injured this time. After a brief treatment, he started refining for the third time.
Time passed little by little.
Finally the tenth refining has come.
Because he did not need to use too much mana, Chen Lin was not too tired except for the tragic explosion.
The physical and mental strength of immortal cultivators, even the lowest level ones, cannot be compared to that of ordinary people.
Looking at the last ingredient left on the table, Chen Lin took a deep breath and came to the iron pot.
After refining it several times, he was already familiar with it.
But refining alchemy is not like making talismans. No matter how skilled you are, the heat has to be reached.
After half an hour, the auxiliary materials began to melt.
Chen Lin picked up the ten spice fruit and shook the fan violently to increase the temperature of the flame.
He was stuck at this level for the entire nine times of refining. To be honest, he was a little uneasy. Although he has proven his innate ability through countless experiments, this is the first time he has used it in alchemy.
After waiting for a while, the concoction in the pot began to boil.
Chen Lin quickly threw the ten spice fruit in while taking precautions.
“Bang!”
A loud noise.
The previous scene appeared again, and the concoction in the pot exploded instantly.
Just when Chen Lin's expression changed drastically and he thought his natural ability had failed, familiar energy fluctuations suddenly appeared.
With a gentle roll of an invisible big hand, all the splashing concoction was collected into one place, and then returned to the iron pot.
Then, the concoction began to solidify at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally formed ten milky white pills about the size of quail eggs.
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.
He quickly took out the elixir, extinguished the flame, and couldn't wait to check it out.
Ten elixirs, each one exudes a refreshing medicinal fragrance, round and flawless, and is not ordinary at first glance.
After looking at it happily for a while, he took out a porcelain bottle and carefully put the elixir in it.
Then he got up and went to the window, opened the window and looked out to make sure no one had come back before he felt relieved.
Back in front of the iron pot and elixir furnace, Chen Lin couldn't hold himself back anymore. He took out the elixir and looked at it. The more he looked at it, the happier he became.
In his eyes, these ten round pills are more attractive than ten stunning beauties!
Talent and ability are as domineering as ever.
Although it takes ten times to win, as long as it succeeds, it will be a perfect result. This elixir recipe can theoretically turn into up to ten elixirs per furnace, and I will refine ten elixirs for you.
Even a master of alchemy may not be able to achieve this rate of elixir production.
Of course, it is impossible for a master of alchemy to succeed only once out of ten.
After cleaning up the mess, Chen Lin hurriedly left the room.
I came back after a while, carrying a cage in my hand, and in the cage was a little white rabbit.
Although the elixir was refined based on the recipe given by Zhao Zhengyuan, he did not know anything about alchemy and could not identify whether the elixir was real or poisonous, so he needed to test it.
Took out a Chuyuan Dan and stuffed it into the little white rabbit's mouth, and then observed it quietly.
Soon, the rabbit began to become manic and rushed into the cage.
In addition, the rabbit's body also began to expand, like an inflated balloon, getting bigger and bigger, and it looked like it might burst at any time.
Seeing this scene, Chen Lin's face became a little ugly.
However, as time passed, the expected scene did not appear. The rabbit's body began to slowly return to its original shape, and it was no longer manic. Instead, its fur became much shiny.
Chen Lin thought for a while and came to some understanding.
The situation just now is probably not caused by something wrong with the elixir, but rather by the rabbit being unable to withstand the essence energy in the elixir. After all, this is just an ordinary rabbit, not a monster.
With this thought, Chen Lin's expression softened and he continued to observe the rabbit's changes.
I didn’t feel relieved until the next morning when I saw that the rabbit was not dead, but more energetic.
I couldn’t wait to hang a sign outside the door saying “retreat in seclusion.” I sat on the futon in a practicing posture and began to calm down.
Half an hour later, Chen Lin suddenly opened his eyes, took out the small bottle containing Chu Yuan Dan from his arms, poured out the elixir, and swallowed it in one gulp.
As soon as the pill enters the stomach, an energy ball immediately explodes in the stomach, and then extends to the limbs and bones.
It made him feel a little tingling in his meridians.
This situation made him not surprised but happy, because this energy can be guided by the technique, which means that the elixir is real, and the more powerful the elixir is, the better the effect.
This gave him hope of a breakthrough.
The original owner's cultivation had already reached the peak of the second level of Qi training, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not break through to the third level of Qi training. He had taken some cheap medicine before, but it had no effect.
I am afraid this time the opportunity has arrived.
After the surprise, Chen Lin immediately calmed down and tried his best to guide the power of the medicine to operate according to the technique.
