Chapter 19: First Alchemy
Hearing the news, Zhou Xun was not surprised.
Wang Erniu has a high-grade spiritual root. It is absolutely impossible for the four major families to let him go.
Besides joining the four major families, he had no other choice.
The name of the man who married Wang Erniu was Lin Xue'e.
She is the niece of the head of the Lin family, the cousin of the eldest lady of the Lin family, and the legitimate daughter of the Lin family.
It’s just that the second lady of the Lin family is not very talented and has a low-grade water spirit root.
High status, poor qualifications, but just right to be paired with Wang Erniu.
For Wang Erniu, joining the Lin family, receiving the support of the Lin family, and with his qualifications for high-grade spiritual roots, it is a high probability that he will advance to the foundation building stage in the future.
Even in the true elixir realm, there is no chance.
The direct daughter of the Lin family is looking for a son-in-law, and no one in Hongyefang knows about it.
The two legitimate daughters of the Lin family have many fans in Hongyefang.
The eldest daughter of the Lin family is a talented person, and the young masters of Hongyefang simply don’t dare to hope for her.
The second daughter of the Lin family is different. She is equally beautiful, but her talent is just average. She is a good candidate for the eldest wife of the family.
Unexpectedly, the second daughter of the Lin family did not marry a young master from an aristocratic family, but instead recruited a farm boy as her son-in-law.
"Er Niu, congratulations!" Zhou Xun congratulated heartily.
Seven days later, Wang Erniu got married.
On the wedding day, the gongs and drums were beating together, it was so lively.
On that day, all Lin's stores were discounted at 10% to celebrate.
At the wedding banquet, hundreds of people from the Lin family, big and small, came.
On Wang Erniu's side, apart from his master, there are only a group of prospective apprentices from Danbao Pavilion.
Because Wang Erniu claimed the identity of his brother, Zhou Xun and his master were placed at the main table, sitting together with the senior officials of the Lin family.
During the banquet, Zhou Xun had an elegant temperament, good conversation, and was neither humble nor overbearing.
He was highly appreciated by the senior officials of the Lin family, and they all inquired about his origins.
After the wedding banquet, Zhou Xun went to Wang Erniu alone and presented him with a copy of "Fangzhongshu".
This made Wang Erniu blush.
Seeing this, Zhou Xun laughed loudly and returned.
After Wang Erniu got married, he moved out of Zhou Xun's alchemy room.
As the uncle of the Lin family, naturally I cannot be wronged.
A separate high-end alchemy room has been arranged, which only genuine alchemists are qualified to use.
Under the control of Manager Lin, no new people moved in here, so Zhou Xun was able to have an alchemy room by himself.
It made everyone else envious.
Time flies, and four months fly by.
During this period, they learned all the basic theories of refining basic elixirs.
The next step is the actual operation.
The person responsible for guiding them is the eldest lady of the Lin family.
What they want to refine this time is Bigu Pill.
The refining method of Bigu Pill is simple and the materials are cheap.
Lingmi and even Linggu bran can be used as the main material for refining.
Suitable for newbies to practice.
In the alchemy room, Zhou Xunduan was sitting in front of the bronze alchemy furnace.
Holding a token that controls earth fire.
Slowly pour spiritual power into the token, and a crimson flame rises. This is the first step in refining the elixir, warming the elixir furnace. The next step was to process the materials. He carefully took out a large bag of spiritual rice and slowly put it into the alchemy furnace one by one at a certain speed.
Lingmi is refined by flames, exuding a unique aroma that permeates the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Gradually, the flame in the furnace began to change, from red to light red, and from light red to golden yellow. Each color change represents a change in flame temperature, which is an extremely important step in the alchemy process.
The last step is to condense and collect the elixir.
Zhou Xun made secrets with his hands and muttered words.
This is the most common method of condensing elixirs and is suitable for refining basic elixirs.
A magic formula was hit on the alchemy furnace, and the medicinal liquid condensed from the spiritual rice in the alchemy furnace quickly took shape.
The medicinal liquid was divided into nine parts, condensed together, and gradually wrapped into a ball
Soon, the aroma of the elixir spread out, which was a sign that the elixir was about to become a pill. At this step, the success rate of the elixir It's already as high as ninety percent.
At the last moment of becoming Dan, Zhou Xun seemed to have thought of something.
Immediately interrupt the spiritual power transmission of the token.
Without the control of the token, the fire on the ground skyrocketed.
There was a puff in the alchemy furnace, and the elixir that was about to take shape instantly dispersed and turned into a stream of blue smoke.
Refining failed!
Zhou Xun walked out of the alchemy room, dejected and unhappy.
When he came out, there were already many people standing outside, with their heads hanging down. It was obvious that the refining had failed.
"It is normal for the first refining to fail. Brother Zhou, please relax!" At this time, Wei Shangyi came over to comfort Zhou Xun.
"I succeeded in refining it!" Suddenly a voice of surprise came.
I saw the door of an alchemy room being pushed open heavily, and a person walked out, holding a dusty elixir in his hand. It was Wang Erniu.
Lin Xueying glanced at it and said calmly:
"There are too many erysipelas, and it can barely be considered a bad elixir! But this is your first time refining it, so you can be considered talented!"
< br>The elixirs refined by alchemists are generally divided into waste elixirs, inferior elixirs, genuine elixirs, and fine elixirs according to their quality.
Waste elixir refers to an elixir that has been completely refined. Although it has the shape of an elixir, it has completely lost its effectiveness and can only be discarded as waste.
Bad elixirs are inferior elixirs that retain some of their effectiveness, but contain a large amount of erysipelas and are barely edible. This is what the casual cultivators outside Hongye Square take.
Genuine elixirs are the most common elixirs sold in major stores. They have complete medicinal properties and erysipelas is also controlled to a very low level.
Exquisite elixirs are refined by alchemists with extraordinary performance, and have effects beyond the original elixir.
Use the Spirit Gathering Pill, a pill that can help monks in the middle stage of Qi training achieve breakthroughs.
Genuine elixirs generally have a 30% breakthrough probability, while inferior elixirs have only 20%, or even 10%.
The high-quality elixir has a 40% or even 50% probability.
Wang Erniu was able to refine an inferior elixir for the first time, which is considered an extraordinary talent.
Even Lin Zhishan made alchemy for the first time, but all the elixirs were useless.
After everyone came out, Lin Xueying answered everyone’s questions and left.
"Okay, you guys will practice more next time. The ground fire in the alchemy room will always be open!"
"If you have any questions, ask me next class!" After that, he floated away.
"Brother, I've done it!" Wang Erniu still had a young mind, with an excited look on his face.
“I didn’t expect Er Niu’s talent in alchemy to be so outstanding!” Zhou Xun was sincerely happy for him.
"Yes, Erniu, you are so awesome!" The rest of the people gathered around and complimented them one after another.
They all know that in the future Wang Erniu will most likely become a foundation-building monk.
Wei Shangyi is also in this group of people.
Today, he is inconspicuous among the people in Danbao Pavilion.
His alchemy talent is really average.
After a brief chat, everyone dispersed and returned to the alchemy room to continue practicing.
