Chapter 73: Fourth Grade Alchemist (please give me monthly votes for further reading)
Although Dugu Bo’s strength is not very strong among Titled Douluo, and his character is both good and evil, he is a man who keeps his promises and appreciates his kindness. The person who repays the favor.
This is also one of the reasons why Gu Yi would let him go.
Gu Yi will travel to various worlds in the future and cannot stay in Douluo Continent forever.
So he needs some subordinates to help him do things in Douluo World, and protect the Ice and Fire Eyes and Maple Leaf Village when Gu Yi is away.
Dugu Bo is a good candidate.
And Gu Yi also wanted to see if he could gain a large amount of power if he established a force that would shock the Continent, or even unify the entire Douluo Continent.
If it is feasible, then Gu Yi has another way to obtain source power.
Dugu Bo was filled with joy after getting the antidote, and immediately left Sunset Forest and headed to Tiandou Imperial City to find his granddaughter Dugu Yan.
He couldn't wait to solve the problem of his and his granddaughter's martial arts.
...
The first thing Gu Yi did when he took over the Ice and Fire Eyes was to carefully distinguish the medicinal properties and pharmacology of various medicinal materials around him.
As an alchemist, Gu Yi would naturally not act like a waste of natural resources by directly swallowing medicinal materials.
He wants to maximize the medicinal properties of these medicinal materials and refine them into pills.
The most precious medicinal materials in the eyes of Binghuo Liangyi are undoubtedly those fairy grasses.
They contain majestic energy and medicinal properties. If placed in Dou Qi Continent, they would be enough to be used as the main medicine for refining fourth-grade elixirs.
A small number can even be used to refine fifth-grade elixirs, such as the King of Immortals' Lovesickness Heartbroken Red' and the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal.
Other medicinal materials can also be used to refine first to third grade elixirs.
After several years, Gu Yi's alchemy refining skills have reached the peak of the third level under normal circumstances, and the success rate of refining third-level high-level elixirs is basically 100%.
The success rate of fourth-grade primary elixirs is only one to two percent.
However, if [Enlightenment] is used, Gu Yi's success rate in refining fourth-grade elixirs can be increased to 80% to 90%, and even fourth-grade intermediate and high-level elixirs have a success rate of 20% to 30%.
It’s just that [Enlightenment] will not be activated for a long time and will only be used at critical moments, so Gu Yi only regards himself as a third-grade peak alchemist.
Of course, after Gu Yi broke through to the Lingwu realm, the energy in his body was transformed into true energy, and the two martial spirits successively underwent the second awakening and the awakening of their destiny.
Gu Yi's soul power has also been improved, and his soul perception and control have also increased.
After all, martial arts are part of the human soul.
Gu Yi felt that under normal circumstances, he could already try to refine the fourth-grade primary elixir.
It just so happens that there are a lot of medicinal materials here, and coupled with the inventory of medicinal materials that Gu Yi has collected in Najie over the years, he can gather the materials needed for dozens of fourth-grade elixirs.
Gu Yi had thoughts flowing through his mind and decided to refine a batch of fourth-grade low-level ‘Qingxin Pill’ first.
First of all, the Qingxin Pill is not very difficult to refine among the fourth-grade elixirs, and it is suitable for attacking the fourth-grade alchemist.
Secondly, this elixir has a significant effect on removing fire poison.
After being refined, it is just right for Xiao Wu and Qing Lin to take it, so that they can withstand the extremely hot energy emitted by the Ice and Fire Eyes, and can practice safely nearby.
As for Gu Yiziran, with his current physical strength, it is no problem that he can withstand extreme heat and cold for ten days and a half.
But with the Qingxin Pill, he can stay longer, allowing him to keep refining the pill here.
Buzz!
After picking more than a dozen medicinal herbs, Gu Yi waved his hand, and a red cauldron with countless cloud patterns on its surface fell, shaking all directions. Gu Yi sat cross-legged in front of the Red Cloud Cauldron with a solemn look on his face. He poured his true energy into the alchemy cauldron, and an extremely hot purple fire suddenly spewed out from the cauldron.
This Red Cloud Cauldron was given by Fa Ma, the master of alchemy in Gu Yi. It was the alchemy cauldron that Fa Ma once used. It is a fifth-level alchemy cauldron, enough for Gu Yi to use it for five years. A junior alchemist.
In the world of alchemy, a good alchemy cauldron is of great help to alchemists. It can significantly increase the success rate when refining elixirs.
In Dou Qi Continent, alchemy cauldrons are divided into fine levels. From low to high, they are divided into levels one to eight. Above level eight, there are top alchemy cauldrons ranked on the 'Heavenly Cauldron List'. There are only thirteen of them in the world.
The recipe information of Qingxin Dan flowed through Gu Yi's mind, recalling the properties, pharmacology, and refining methods of the medicinal materials.
This time Gu Yi refined the elixir, and most of the medicinal materials used were from Douluo Continent. Their types and names were completely different from those in Douqi Continent. The only similarity was their medicinal properties, so they could be used as replacement materials.
This also makes it more difficult to refine the Qingxin Pill in Gu Yi's heart, which is a test of Gu Yi's alchemy skills.
Gu Yi's eyes were calm, and he methodically threw the medicinal materials prepared beside him into the Red Cloud Cauldron one by one. He controlled the purple fire to release the optimal temperature, refined them into drops of crystal clear medicinal liquid, and burned them. Remove the impurities and store it in a jade bottle for later use.
After refining, it is ‘Rongdan’.
This step is much more difficult than refining. It requires merging medicinal liquids with different medicinal properties into one.
This process requires Gu Yi to use his soul power to accurately grasp the subtle changes in the fusion of medicinal properties.
If the soul's perception is not up to par, it is very likely that due to a little conflict of medicinal properties, all previous efforts will be wasted and the refining of the elixir will fail.
Time passed little by little, and the medicinal liquid extracted from dozens of medicinal materials was perfectly blended together under the control of Gu Yi, and a faint fragrance of red pill spread from the Red Cloud Cauldron.
Qing Lin, who had been paying attention to the process of refining the medicine, smelled the fragrance of the elixir and a smile appeared on his face.
“Master Yi is almost successful!”
The fourth-grade elixirs in Dou Qi Continent will produce elixir fragrance before they are formed. The stronger the elixir fragrance, the higher the elixir grade.
When the fifth-grade elixir is formed, it will produce substantial energy ripples around it because it contains majestic energy.
As for the higher level six and seven elixirs, they will cause changes in the world and even attract elixirs.
Through these visions, outsiders can judge whether the alchemy is going smoothly.
Sure enough, not long after the elixir fragrance overflowed, Gu Yi flicked his finger, and the lid of the Red Cloud Cauldron flew up instantly, and four round elixirs also fell into the jade bottle in Gu Yi's hand.
——Gu Yi, who combines the two alchemy techniques of Jiuxiao and Dou Qi, is not like those alchemists in Dou Qi Continent. No matter what grade of elixir he is, he can only refine one pill with one set of materials.
For low-level elixirs, he can make at least seven to nine pills from a single amount of materials, while for higher-level pills, he can make less, one to five pills.
"It's done." A smile appeared on Gu Yi's lips.
He could feel that the difficulty of refining the alchemy this time was not very high. Without using [Enlightenment], his success rate was over 70%.
Under normal circumstances, Gu Yi has reached the level of a fourth-grade junior alchemist!
"Qing Lin, Xiao Wu, take the Qingxin Pill." Gu Yi handed the jade bottle to the two girls.
After taking the Qingxin Pill, Xiaowu and her two girls clearly felt a refreshing sensation flowing from their throats into their stomachs, and then to their limbs and bones, eliminating the extremely hot air emanating from the Ice and Fire Eyes.
As for the extremely cold air, as long as they are located near the hot springs, the impact of the extreme cold air on them will naturally be minimal.
After seeing that the two girls could move the Ice and Fire Eyes normally, Gu Yi felt relieved and continued to refine fourth-grade elixirs and accumulate relevant experience.
After all, Gu Yi’s real target is the many immortal grasses of the Ice and Fire Eyes.
Only when he accumulates more experience and uses the fairy grass to refine higher elixirs, the success rate will not be too low and he can refine the elixirs he needs.
