Chapter 48: First Alchemy
The next morning, Li Xuan got up early and led his horse to eat grass nearby for a while.
Douluo Continent is vast and sparsely populated, and most of the land has not been cultivated, so there are a lot of weeds growing here. After walking for a while, the horses will be full. Li Xuan of the province specially Cut the grass and feed them.
After walking around, it was time for Li Xuan to have breakfast. He took out a piece of bread and took a bite.
After eating, Li Xuan returned to the carriage, once again used a small green bottle to cultivate a Kongming Pearl and put it into his belt.
In the next period of time, Li Xuan does not have any big requirements for heavenly materials and earthly treasures, so Li Xuan decided to devote all his efforts to cultivating Kong Ming Grass in the next period of time to enrich his storage space.
The belt designed by Li Yu has 36 sections and can store 108 Kongming beads, but Li Xuan now wears 24 sections, so it can store 72 Kongming beads.
That is 216 cubic meters of storage space, and when gathering 108 Kongming Pearls, ten Kongming Crystals can be produced. The capacity of the Kongming Crystal is one hundred cubic meters. , ten pieces equals one thousand cubic meters of storage space.
In this case, the storage space is definitely enough for Li Xuan. Next time he goes to the city, Li Xuan can purchase some more supplies.
"Don't think about this anymore, it's time to set off." Li Xuan smiled nonchalantly, then hitched the carriage, raised his whip, and continued driving towards Tiandou City.
...
As the sun set, Li Xuan stopped in a valley.
After a day's journey, Li Xuan was also very tired.
"If I had known it, I would have bought a slave! Then I wouldn't have to drive the car myself." Li Xuan jumped out of the carriage and said with great annoyance.
After stopping the carriage, Li Xuan led the horse and began to eat weeds in the valley.
When Ma was full, Li Xuan also took out two hot dishes, accompanied by a bowl of rice, and ate them deliciously.
After eating and drinking, Li Xuan lay down in the carriage and began to close his eyes and rest.
Although Li Xuan is a little tired today, he is not sleepy.
"I'm in good condition today, why not try refining the elixir?" Li Xuan said unexpectedly.
Just do it, Li Xuan immediately jumped off the carriage and took out a lot of various grinding and crushing tools from the Kongming Pearl.
Finally, he took out the medicinal materials needed to refine the elixir.
Alchemy is not a simple matter. It does not mean turning on the stove, throwing the medicinal materials in, and burning them continuously. That is only suitable for top alchemists.
Li Xuan is just getting started, so he is not suitable for such a large-scale refining method.
Alchemy requires a very good understanding of the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials and the ability to accurately control the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials. Only in this way can the medicinal properties in the elixirs promote each other and achieve significant medicinal effects.
Otherwise, useless elixirs will easily appear, which will not only be of no benefit to cultivation, but will even be highly toxic.
What Li Xuan planned to refine this time was the Yunling Pill, because the Yunling Pill was the least difficult to refine among the three elixirs.
Li Xuan also wanted to know whether he had the talent to become an alchemist.
By checking the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials, Li Xuan determined the dosage of the medicinal materials, and then ground all the medicinal materials into powder.
It was the first time for Li Xuan to refine the elixir, so he prepared five portions of the medicinal materials, which was enough for Li Xuan to make five mistakes.
After doing this, Li Xuan took out the most important thing in the alchemy process.
A copper pot!
Hmm...
Of course, Li Xuan has no other way. Douluo Continent does not have soul masters who can refine elixirs, so there is no way to find qualified elixir cauldrons. As for customization Li Xuan didn't have time to wait for the blacksmith to forge the tripod.
After careful consideration, Li Xuan bought a particularly heavy copper pot.
This is a pure copper soup pot. It is round in shape and about the size of a pumpkin. The wall of the pot is very thick, three to four centimeters thick.
Li Xuan placed the copper pot on the ground, then placed the medicinal materials around the copper pot. He sat cross-legged on the ground, holding his breath and adjusting his condition.
After a while, Li Xuan felt that his condition had been adjusted very well, so he stretched out his hand and started to activate his soul power.
As the cyan soul mark on the back of Li Xuan's hand gradually turned red, a cyan lotus flower appeared in Li Xuan's hand. But at this time, one of the petals on the blue lotus shadow has turned into golden red.
“Go!”
Following Li Xuan's soft drink, the next second, the green lotus slowly flew into the copper pot.
“Here!”
Li Xuan drank softly again, and a ball of burning heart-burning divine flame instantly rose from the heart of the green lotus, filling the entire copper pot in an instant, burning the copper pot Roasted very hot.
However, as the master of the Burning Heart Flame, Li Xuan is naturally immune to the scorching heat of the Burning Heart Flame, so there is no big problem in getting closer.
Feeling that the flame temperature had stabilized, Li Xuan poured a portion of the powdered medicinal materials into the copper pot.
But the next second, a sudden change occurred.
“Poof!”
Li Xuan did not control the temperature of the flame. When he poured the medicinal materials, the flame briefly lost control due to his movements and burned a portion of the medicinal powder into charcoal. This medicinal material can no longer be used.
"I'll go! I just relaxed and the temperature of the flame has increased so much!" Li Xuan looked at the copper pot in front of him in shock, with disbelief written all over his face.
However, Li Xuan was not one to give up easily. He thought about the reason for this mistake, then regained control of the flame and picked up the second portion of medicinal materials.
Holding his breath and concentrating, Li Xuan carefully poured the medicinal powder into the copper pot while controlling the temperature of the flame.
Li Xuan absorbed the lessons learned from the last time and strengthened the control of the flame, so there was no sudden increase in temperature.
Li Xuan controlled the flame to burn the medicinal powder in the copper pot, quickly burning away the impurities in the medicinal powder, leaving a little blue powder.
"The main medicine is finished, quite smoothly." Li Xuan looked at the blue powder in the copper pot and nodded with satisfaction. This contains the essence of the main medicine of Lingdan after removing impurities.
Feeling that the time was almost up, Li Xuan threw in the second and third medicinal herbs.
As Li Xuan controlled the flame and removed the impurities from the medicinal materials, only the white and red essences of the two medicinal plants were left.
Then the fourth and fifth plants...
Put them into the copper pot one by one.
After extracting all the essence, Li Xuan clasped his hands together and poured the soul power in his body crazily into the copper pot. The temperature of the Burning Heart Flame in the copper pot suddenly increased.
These powders melted slowly under the high temperature.
Li Xuan then used the power of flame to push these medicinal materials together, and used high temperature to fuse these medicinal materials together.
Ten minutes later, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Li Xuan's forehead.
Li Xuan ignored the sweat, pushed his hands forward again, and the flames heated up again.
The essence extracted from various medicinal materials has been completely blended together, but at this time Li Xuan still did not relax in any way.
The last step of producing the elixir is the most critical step. Li Xuan closed his eyes and while controlling the temperature of the flame, he used his soul power to sort out the properties of the elixir to improve its effect.
After another half hour, Li Xuan felt that the various medicinal properties in the elixir had almost been integrated.
"Elixir!" Li Xuan stretched out his hand and slapped the copper pot fiercely.
The next second, two black elixirs flew out from the copper pot. Li Xuan quickly grabbed the elixirs in his hand, took out the porcelain bottle that he had prepared a long time ago, and put the elixirs in his hand. The elixir was put into a porcelain bottle.
Dear readers, it’s Friday now, and there are less than twenty hours left before rest. Come on, rest early.
The small speed is really not good, but I will try my best.
Good night
