Chapter 119 The Standards of a First-Class Alchemist
The first batch of first-class elixir that Kong Ji chose to refine was Guyuan Dan, a healing medicine.
First of all, its refining cost is very low among first-grade elixirs, about one hundred and fifty spiritual crystals, so you won’t feel bad if it is useless after refining it.
Secondly, its medicinal effect is also felt to be very necessary at the moment.
If you are injured, you can quickly regain your fighting strength with this Gu Yuan Dan.
The materials are readily available. Kong Jiang collected the elixir of Guyuan Dan on the battlefield and prepared it for Shangguan Yuzhou to drink.
Later, he was protected by sword energy and kept away from strangers, so he put it aside.
Now it’s just a good time to practice.
The medicinal materials of Guyuan Dan were all taken out from Qiankun Pouch by Kong Ji, just enough to refine two copies.
“Open the furnace!”
Kong Xian did not hesitate and followed the refining sequence of Guyuan Dan, first throwing the Guyuan fruit as the main medicine into the Jinluan furnace.
Put your palms against the furnace wall, converting your spiritual power into the blue furnace fire for refining the elixir.
Start to extract the medicinal essence of Guyuan Guo.
His movements were skillful and smooth, as if he had done them thousands of times.
The difficulty of refining high-grade elixirs is indeed much more difficult than that of Qi-nourishing pills.
It took Kong Jiang a stick of incense to extract all the medicinal essence of the Guyuan fruit from the elixir.
He was not in a hurry, with a calm expression. After draining out the residue in a leisurely manner, he threw in the second medicine and repeated the process.
All the elixirs needed for Guyuan Dan have been turned into the purest medicinal essence.
Although it was a little slow during this process, it was still very stable and there were no mistakes.
Start the second step.
Cast elixir.
Deprive the coldness from the spiritual power through the transformation array of the Jinluan Furnace, then enter the furnace, and start to proceed towards the medicinal essence that has been slowly fused together under the firepower of the furnace. impact.
Let their medicinal properties be completely blended together.
The process of preparing the elixir is a little more difficult than refining the Qi-nourishing elixir.
Because the medicinal properties are too strong, Kong Geng did not dare to use too much force and could only test it slowly and slowly.
When the first impact of spiritual energy rushed into the mixed essence of the mottled spiritual energy, there was an illusion of sinking into the mud.
But he did not dare to attack too recklessly with all his strength, fearing that the mass of essence would riot.
I had to slowly increase my strength and constantly adjust the spiritual power fed into the alchemy furnace.
This also resulted in a longer period of time, and a lot of the essence of the medicinal power was evaporated by the constant burning of the elixir fire in the elixir furnace.
“I’m afraid the quality of this batch of elixirs is not high anymore.” Kong Jiang knew what this meant, and his expression did not change after he murmured.
Even an experienced alchemist like Ge Xia would make a mistake when refining an elixir that he has never been used to for the first time.
Therefore, Kong Jiang still maintained his own rhythm and behaved calmly, just like an old alchemist.
The process of casting the elixir took half an hour.
When the mottled medicinal power gradually turned orange-yellow and exuded a slight medicinal fragrance, Kong Xian knew that it was time to take the next step.
Cheng Dan.
Relying on the precise control of spiritual power, the orange-yellow medicinal power was shaken, causing them to condense into pills.
The success or failure of this furnace of elixir depends on this step.
Bang!
As the spiritual power in the alchemy furnace vibrates, the alchemy fire burns.
Three orange-yellow elixirs were slowly formed in the furnace, and slightly roasted by the elixir fire, so that the medicinal effects were firmly locked in the elixirs.
Kong Ji just now slowly unveiled his first batch of high-grade elixir.
The medicinal fragrance, as sweet as peach, floats out from the golden furnace.
Kong Jin reached out and took out the three Guyuan Pills that were still warm from the furnace.
Put it in the palm of your hand and check the effect.
As expected by Kong Xian, the quality of this furnace of Guyuan Dan is not high, with only a thin layer of pill coating.
It proves that its efficacy is about 60%, and it can only be regarded as a finished product. "It's a good start. It's a success at least. As long as there is no waste in the refining and you gain experience in the second furnace, the quality will naturally improve." Not only was Kong not discouraged, but he smiled.
Proved that this time, my exploration of alchemy experience in Gexia's memory was still effective.
As long as ten furnaces can be converted into six furnaces, one can be considered a first-grade alchemist.
After putting away the first batch of Guyuan Dan, Kong Xian immediately started refining the second batch.
With the experience of the first furnace, the refining time of the second furnace was shortened by almost one-third.
And in the step of casting the elixir, I found the suitable strength of Kongji, and the situation did not happen in the first furnace.
So as the second batch of elixirs came out, when Kong Jiang placed three Guyuan elixirs in his palm, he could clearly see the bright layer of elixir on the orange elixirs.
"70% efficacy, this furnace is of good quality."
Nodding with satisfaction, Kong Xian did not explode for two consecutive furnaces, which doubled his confidence.
There are only two ingredients for the Guyuan Dan. After refining them all, Kong Geng will naturally have to change to another type of elixir.
That is, the elixir that is the main target of his alchemy this time, Sanling Paste.
The refining of Guyuan Dan can only be regarded as a practice to find the feel for refining a first-grade elixir.
Confucius, who is now feeling strong, can't wait to take out the ingredients for the Sanling Ointment that he purchased from the casual cultivators in Luoxia City in the past few days.
Luoxia Chengfang City is close to the Xiling Mountains. There are thousands of elixirs in the mountains. For alchemists, it is a rare place to collect elixirs.
It was more convenient for Kong Ji.
Open the furnace and make alchemy.
Sanling Paste is different from all the elixirs refined by Kongji before.
Whether it is the Qi-nourishing pill or the Yuan-solidifying pill that he refined, it either improves his cultivation level.
Either healing.
The Sanling Paste is an outright poison pill.
He can make it difficult for the poisoned person to mobilize his spiritual power, making him unable to exert his full strength in battle.
The refining techniques of poison pills will also be slightly different.
But the pharmacology is the same.
For Kong Ji, who has nearly 60 years of experience in alchemy in Gexia, it is not a difficult task.
When he opened the furnace with confidence and threw in the elixir, the first step of refining the potency went smoothly.
When the second step was to flush out the potion, the furnace exploded directly. The potion rioted, like gunpowder being ignited.
That was the first time Kong Ji experienced the feeling of a furnace explosion.
Boom!
A roar.
The lid of the Jinluan furnace was directly blown open by the rioting medicine.
The force of the explosion was so strong that Kong Ji, who was standing by the stove, was the first to bear the brunt.
He only felt that his vision was dark, his ears were stuffy, and he didn't even have time to defend himself.
My face was directly covered by the black smoke erupted from the furnace.
The force of the explosion blew his entire body away and hit the wall of the room hard.
"Ahem!" Kung Fu, who was dressed in jet black, got up from the ground and coughed twice, spitting out the smoke powder inhaled in his throat, with a look of discomfort on his face.
Fortunately, this room is guarded, otherwise the power of the explosion of this furnace of elixir would probably open up the whole room.
It seems that he felt the movement in Kong Ji's room.
At this moment, outside the room, the dissatisfied shouts of the neighbors next door came: "Damn it, what are they doing inside, are you going to blow up this place?"
Most casual cultivators have bad tempers, especially in the Xiling area. There are many people who get into fights over disagreements.
“It’s none of your business, did it blow up your house?” Kong Zhi, who has a variety of ‘body protection’, is not afraid of trouble. He was already in a bad mood because of the explosion of the furnace and immediately put on his black face Face, he shouted back.
"If you have the ability, come in and challenge."
Outside the door, the bearded man heard Kong Ji's angry response and felt that the person inside was not a good person. Not wanting to make things worse, he spat and left cursing.
