Chapter 9 Bigu Pill
"Stop it." Li Ditu did not let Li Qianqing continue, "You have learned to flatter people at a young age. Can I not guess your little thoughts, Grandpa?"
Li Ditu stood up and came to Li Qianqing's side.
“You are interested in alchemy, right?”
Li Qianqing nodded, excitement revealed in his eyes.
In fact, Li Ditu didn't really want Li Qianqing to make elixirs, because his planting skills were very good, which could be seen from the harvest of white corn. It would be good to become a spiritual planter in the future, but the look in Li Qianqing's eyes made him change immediately. Thoughts.
I think he was like this back then, full of love for alchemy, and relying on his decent alchemy talent, he became the family's alchemist.
When Li Qianqing was refining alchemy in his heart, if Li Qianqing's alchemy talent was not as good as cultivation, Li Ditu would definitely not agree with him becoming an alchemist. His alchemy talent is not as good as cultivation. As long as it is not too far behind, he will support Li Qianqing to continue to refine alchemy.
"Yes! Second Grandpa." Li Qianqing nodded vigorously.
“Then the question is, how much do you know about alchemy.”
"I read some of the most basic alchemy books when I was in Changqing Mountain." Li Qianqing answered truthfully.
"Okay, I will give you a simple test."
"Second Grandpa, please ask."
Li Ditu began a simple test on Li Qianqing.
The question-and-answer process was similar to what Li Ditu expected. Li Qianqing gave the answers to his questions very easily without any pause.
This was completely within his expectation. How could the young man's sincere eyes be deceiving?
"Very good." Li Ditu nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that you have put a lot of effort into refining the elixir."
While speaking, Li Ditu took out the blue-grey elixir. stove and a yellowed book.
“This cauldron alchemy furnace is a low-grade magic weapon, very suitable for novices to make alchemy. Second Grandpa, I will lend you this alchemy furnace temporarily. If you have good alchemy talent, I will give this cauldron alchemy furnace to you. . ”
The magic weapon is divided into lower, middle and upper grades from low to high, and it is also one of the main attack and defense methods for monks in the Qi Refining Period.
Hearing this, Li Qianqing quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Grandpa Second!"
"Don't thank me in time. Didn't you hear what I just said? This alchemy furnace is yours only if you have good alchemy talent. If your talent is not good, I will take it back, and then you can just be a spiritual cultivator. At least you have good talent in this area."
In Li Ditu's opinion, Xiu Zhen Bai Yi is not. There are distinctions between high and low, and every professional master is respected by others. You must know that in the beginning, white corn was not harvested once a year, and the yield was not as impressive as it is now, often weighing thousands of kilograms per acre. This is all due to the spiritual cultivation of our ancestors. of credit.
“My fourth uncle taught me that no matter what I do, I must have confidence in myself, otherwise I will lose from the beginning.”
“Well, it’s more like what the fourth son would say. "Li Ditu expressed his approval. He first handed the yellowed book to Li Qianqing, "This is some of my experience when refining elixirs when I was young. It should be very helpful to novices. You can take a look when you go back. .”
Li Qianqing excitedly took the yellowed book and nodded repeatedly, and then accepted Li Ditu's alchemy furnace.
"Finally, this is one hundred kilograms of white corn. You can refine Bigu Dan with ten kilograms. Come back to me when the white corn is used up."
"Okay. ”
As the most basic elixir, Bigu Pill is the best choice for novices to refine elixirs.
Some basic alchemy books will contain methods for refining Bigu Pills, which are also highly recommended by the authors of the books for novices to refine elixirs.
After Li Ditu recorded it again, he asked Li Qianqing to go back.
One hundred kilograms of white corn was not given to Li Qianqing by Li Diitu, but was given by his family to test Li Qianqing's initial talent. Li Tuitu is one of the elders of the family, and he must have some power.
Back to the residence.
Li Qianqing first needs to refine the low-grade magic weapon in the alchemy furnace before he can start refining Bigu Pill.
Bigu Pill is the most special elixir, because there is only one refining material for all Bigu Pills, and different levels of Bigu Pills use different spiritual rice.
The bigu elixir refined from white corn is the most common, not even the first-order low-grade elixir.
Because white corn is ripe once a year, the maximum number of years for the main material is one year, and the maximum number of years for the first-order low-grade elixir to refine the main material is more than two years.
The most special elixir has the most special refining process. There is no fusion of medicinal properties in the elixir liquid in the middle. The most important thing is to complete the compression step, and the intermediate process will basically not fail.
A small elixir contains huge energy. The step of energy compression is an essential step in refining the elixir.
Ten pounds of white corn can be used to refine the most common Bigu Pill.
For novices, it is best to refine Bigu Pills one by one. Although the efficiency is pitifully low, it can greatly reduce costs.
When a novice starts, the main thing is to control costs rather than pursue efficiency.
Li Qianqing naturally would not be able to actually refine a batch of Bigu Pills, and he was not a novice.
One hundred pounds of white corn can be cooked in one furnace.
For an alchemist of Li Titu's level, it is best to use eighty kilograms of white corn in one furnace. This can be efficient for him in refining elixirs. The bigu pills that come out of the furnace are either eight or seven, and there are basically no six. situation.
"The alchemy furnace feels like it has not been used for a long time."
It has been more than three years since he was reborn. With the current level of life, the perception of time is still quite long.
Li Qianqing sighed briefly and began to refine the low-grade magic weapon in the alchemy furnace.
A monk at the fourth level of Qi Refining can refine a low-grade magic weapon in less than half a day, and then he can use the magic weapon skillfully.
He started to use the alchemy furnace after refining the low-grade magic weapon.
First bring in the stalks of the white corn plants outside, which are used to make the fire.
As a practitioner of "The Art of Grass and Trees Producing Flames", he possesses flame grass and wood inflammation. In fact, he can directly refine elixirs using grass and wood inflammation without using white corn plant stems, but this consumes more spiritual power. He also needs to be distracted and controlled, so it is best to use ready-made materials.
The alchemy furnace is on top, and the white corn plant stalks are on the bottom.
After Li Qianqing inserted a flame, the stalks began to burn and the temperature of the furnace began to rise linearly.
When the time came, he put a hundred pounds of white corn into the alchemy furnace.
This low-grade alchemy furnace can be used to refine up to two hundred kilograms of white corn.
The refining of Bigu Pill is to allow novice alchemists to master the steps of alchemy and compression. This is the foundation and the most important thing.
If the compression energy is not in place, the elixir cannot be formed.
When the Bigu Pill is refined to one-third of the way, the furnace must be sealed to prevent energy from leaking out.
The energy leakage of white corn is relatively small. If some elixirs are not careful at this step, the energy will leak out completely in one breath, and the elixir will naturally fail to be refined.
