Chapter 117 Learning Alchemy (Part 1)

It was already bright, the yard was empty, and the weather was slightly cool.

Xu Feng packed everything up, then came to the door of the east wing and stopped, saying softly:

"Liang...Master, I'm here."

In the room was the very old Mr. Liang, sitting on the futon at the moment.

Today, the old man is not as slovenly as usual, but is wearing a brand new set of dark gray robes. His almost white hair is all pulled up to the top of his head and tied into a bun.

"Come in!"

"yes!"

After receiving permission, Xu Feng stepped into the house.

"Disciple pays homage to master."

"Well, get up!"

After completing the rules, Xu Feng had the opportunity to look at the layout of the entire house.

In front of Mr. Liang, there was a light yellow alchemy furnace, which was more than three feet tall, with three legs and two ears. Various lifelike patterns of elixirs and elixirs were carved on the top and bottom of the furnace.

In addition, on the left side of the alchemy furnace, there is a red cabinet that is more than one person tall and made of spiritual wood. There are many drawers on it, which store various elixirs.

Not only that, on the wooden table on the right side of the alchemy furnace, there are seven or eight kinds of spiritual herbs of different colors, surrounded by spiritual energy and emitting spiritual light.

"Not bad, quite on time."

Mr. Liang looked him over, then pointed to a futon in front of him and said:

"Sit down!"

Xu Feng bowed and saluted, then sat upright on the futon.

"Today I will teach you some basic knowledge of alchemy. If you don't understand anything, you can ask questions."

When Mr. Liang saw him nodding to indicate understanding, he began to explain.

"To make elixirs, you first need to have elixir recipes, elixirs, and alchemy furnaces. These are all indispensable. The higher the level of elixirs, the more difficult the refining process is.

In addition to the requirements for these necessary consumables, alchemy also has stricter requirements for the monks' spiritual consciousness.

The stronger the spiritual consciousness, the better it can help the alchemist accurately purify and separate the essence of the elixir, and at the same time, it can grasp the best time to condense the elixir, thereby increasing the elixir-forming rate. "

First, there was the popularization of theoretical knowledge. Although Xu Feng knew these things clearly in private, he was still listening attentively at this time.

Next, Mr. Liang took a elixir from the table, held it in his hand and asked:

"Do you know what kind of elixir this is?"

"Replying to Master, this is the first-grade low-grade white jade ginseng. It greatly replenishes vitality. It is often used to refine the first-grade low-grade Qi Nourishing Pill and Bigu Pill."

"What about this strain? What are its effects?"

"This is a perilla spiritual rice. After peeling off its shell, you can get the spiritual rice we use daily. In addition to satisfying hunger, it is also the main medicine for refining the Bigu Pill."

Then Mr. Liang tested his mastery of elixirs again. Seeing that he answered fluently without thinking and without making any mistakes, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, it seems that you have mastered the encyclopedia of elixirs I gave you.

Then next, I will teach you how to officially start making alchemy. Are you ready? "

When Xu Feng heard that he was finally about to start studying, he suppressed his excitement and replied respectfully:

"Master, my disciple is ready."

Then Mr. Liang introduced him to the Bigu Pill, which is also the most common first-level elixir. Taking one Bigu Pill can prevent you from eating for ten days.

Although Bigu Pill can replace spiritual rice and monster meat to provide nutrients to monks, its taste is very bland and tastes like chewing gum, so monks living in the city rarely buy these.

Only those monks who go into the mountains to hunt monsters or collect elixirs will carry some with them for emergencies.

The last time Xu Feng and Luo Xinran went into the mountains to participate in a monster hunting operation, Xu Tinglan thoughtfully prepared a few for them.

"To refine the Bigu Pill, you need a total of three raw materials, which are the white jade ginseng, perilla rice, and polygonatum that I asked you about just now.

These three elixirs must first be concocted before being put into the alchemy furnace.

For example, this Suiling rice must be peeled off before it can be used..."

Mr. Liang explained every step in great detail. Whenever Xu Feng showed a little doubt, he would explain it back and forth patiently until he understood it completely.

Just like that, two hours passed in the blink of an eye. Not only did Xu Feng not feel bored at all, but he listened attentively.

He kept these basic knowledge firmly in his mind and was full of interest in alchemy.

"I will personally refine a furnace of Bigu Pills next. You can take care of it."

I saw Mr. Liang taking out a few pieces of spiritual charcoal from the storage bag and placing them in the small pot under the alchemy furnace.

Then he used his magic power to activate the fireball technique to light the spiritual charcoal. Several flames slowly emerged from the spiritual charcoal, and the temperature of the room suddenly increased a lot.

When doing this step, Mr. Liang did not forget to turn his head and explain to him.

"Feng'er, remember!

In fact, it is best to use earth fire to refine elixirs, but earth fire is rare. Earth fire can only exist above the second-level spiritual veins.

Therefore, when we low-level alchemists refine elixirs, we usually use spiritual charcoal instead.

Although there are shortcomings such as insufficient firepower and instability, as long as the alchemy time is long and the skills are mastered, the impact of these factors will not be significant.

Another thing to note is that when making alchemy, you must first preheat the alchemy furnace. This is very important. Otherwise, the alchemy will fail at best, or the furnace will explode at worst. "

After the preheating of the alchemy furnace was completed, Mr. Liang threw the processed elixirs into the alchemy furnace one after another.

He kept scanning the interior of the furnace with his spiritual sense, adjusting the size of the fire, constantly extracting the medicinal power of the spiritual medicine, and then blending the essence of these spiritual medicines.

This lasted for nearly two quarters of an hour. Suddenly, Liang Lao kept changing the spells with his hands, and then shouted:

"Condensation!"

The room was suddenly filled with fragrance, and the steaming fasting pills came out of the furnace.

Liang Lao opened the lid of the furnace and saw eight light brown pills lying inside. Each one was the size of a thumb, round and round, and the surface was still emitting heat.

At the bottom of the furnace, there were some black and charred residues.

Elder Liang took a look at the refined pills, his face was neither sad nor happy, and he said very calmly:

"A furnace of pills can produce at most ten pills, which is the legendary full pill, but the possibility of this happening is very small.

Even if a high-level alchemist refines low-level pills, it is difficult to achieve full pill achievement.

For ordinary alchemists, three pills are considered to be within the threshold of alchemy, four pills are considered to be qualified, and only five or more pills can be considered excellent."

After saying this, Elder Liang put away the eight bigu pills and put them back into the storage bag.

He took out three portions of alchemy materials for refining bigu pills and ordered:

"Feng'er, now you try it."

Hearing the order, although Xu Feng was a little nervous, he still responded loudly:

"Yes, Master."
