168 Three Days Have Passed, Prepare For The Future (4/4)
The process of refining alchemy is extremely boring.
Generally speaking, it is the following processes.
First of all, as Mr. Shen's disciple, Su Xiaoxiao needs to provide enough strength for a long time to ensure that the flames generated by the fairy water's spiritual power maintain a stable temperature.
Shi Kang could see countless spiritual energy steaming on the flames, burning the alchemy furnace above.
Obviously, this means that even if ordinary flames reach the same level, it is difficult to achieve the same effect.
Su Xiaoxiao needs to pay attention to lighting the fire, but Mr. Shen is much more important. He pays attention to the temperature and conditions in the stove, and keeps opening his mouth, saying the names of herbs. One servant quickly opens the lid, and another servant Then quickly pour the herbs into it, and then immediately close the lid tightly. The whole process does not take more than ten seconds.
The whole process is like this.
Su Xiaoxiao kept lighting the fire, and Mr. Shen spoke from time to time, asking someone to drop some herbs and take good care of the situation inside.
The alchemy furnace rolled, smashing the flames below into countless sparks.
At this time, there was another servant who was dedicated to extinguishing the sparks so that they could not affect the progress of the alchemy.
Shi Kang looked at the scenes at the scene and had an admiring attitude towards alchemy.
The alchemy furnace has been calcining for three or four hours, and the gas in the furnace seems to be compacted to the extreme.
Mr. Shen took a look, then coughed and stopped everyone's work.
He stood up, walked to the alchemy furnace, closed his eyes and felt it for a while, then nodded slightly: "Open the lid."
So two servants rushed over and lifted the lid.
A violent burst of steam spurted out instantly, and the scorching hot wind made Shi Kang in the distance feel as if his whole body was on fire.
But for other people at the scene, it was just like a breeze blowing on their faces, nothing strange.
At this moment, Mr. Shen suddenly took out a jade knife and cut a gash on his wrist. Immediately, a line of blood quickly disappeared into the alchemy furnace.
Seeing this scene, Shi Kang was immediately shocked.
He finally understood where the extremely subtle smell of blood in the pill he had checked before came from.
It's not the beast he guessed, but a Qi practitioner who works as an alchemist!
"Does this alchemy still require your own blood?"
Shi Kang didn't speak. The alchemy had not been completed yet, so speaking out now would not bring any good results.
Mr. Shen in front waved his long sleeves again, and the lid of the alchemy furnace in the servant's hand was placed on top again.
A ball of blazing fire burst out from Mr. Shen's hand, wrapping the entire alchemy furnace violently and ferociously, followed by another raging flame that lasted for dozens of minutes.
Finally, Mr. Shen opened his eyes, opened the lid of the alchemy furnace with a wave of his hand, then held his handprints and whispered something softly.
Suddenly the inside of the alchemy furnace was filled with glowing light, and pills jumped out one after another and fell into the jade bottle that had been prepared.
Shi Kang counted them beside him, and there were roughly fifty of them, each about the size of an adult's little finger.
"The rate of success this time is less than 70%."
Mr. Shen took a look at the approximate quantity and shook his head, "And the quality is mostly middle-grade. This is a number that only comes from my blood."
“The ingredients are too bad.”
Su Xiaoxiao, who was standing next to her, said softly, "Most of the herbs collected these days are of low quality, and the ones that can be taken out are already the best ones."
"Find a way to get more high-quality products. If you keep using these products, you will be in trouble in the future."
Mr. Shen waved his sleeves, glanced at Shi Kang and said to him: "You should go back to bed and leave here early tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, Mr. Shen." Shi Kang thanked him with a bow, and then returned to his room under the leadership of a servant.
Seeing Shi Kang leaving, Mr. Shen turned to Su Xiaoxiao: "Don't forget what you promised."
"Yes, teacher." Su Xiaoxiao also lowered his head. When he raised his head again, he was the only one left in the room.
Shi Kang, who returned to his room, recalled everything he had seen while refining the alchemy, and made a wish so that his memory would not fade away, and he could once again take control of everything in his hands.
Although it is not possible for him to make alchemy now, after understanding these contents, he can try it himself in the future.
At least he now knows that alchemy requires a large amount of spiritual power to assist, and long-term calcination requires continuous and peaceful input. Otherwise, if the fire is too large or too small, it will cause fatal damage to the elixir in the furnace.
After the blood, Shi Kang also understood that when the blood of Qi practitioners was used in alchemy, generally speaking, there was a chance to improve the quality of the alchemy - he could hear this from Mr. Shen's regretful tone.
This also shows that it should be possible to use other blood.
Shi Kang estimated that the blood of alien beasts might be more suitable.
But, does the blood of alien beasts conflict with the herbs, or does a certain elixir require a certain alien beast?
Shi Kang felt that he had to continue experimenting.
After that, he fell asleep peacefully.
Although he knew that Su Xiaoxiao was malicious towards him, and he didn't know why he wanted to deal with him, he thought that it might have something to do with Uncle Shi San.
If he really wanted to take action desperately, he wouldn't stop after the first action.
It was obvious that someone had stopped him.
As for the one who could stop him, besides Mr. Shen, Shi Kang didn't know who else could do it.
No matter what the reason is, he is absolutely safe in this Shen mansion, with Mr. Shen as his protection.
However, Mr. Shen cannot always protect him. After he leaves the Shen Mansion, Su Xiaoxiao will take action against him. At that time, he will have to deal with that guy on his own.
Shi Kang gradually fell into a deep sleep. At least now, he was safe.
After sleeping until dawn, Shi Kang woke up to the gentle call of his servant.
After washing and eating breakfast, he was ready to say goodbye to Mr. Shen.
However, Mr. Shen did not see him again and had people send him out of Shen's house directly.
"Bye." Shi Kang sighed softly in his heart. He understood something from it, and then strode towards the inn where Uncle Shi was staying.
He already knew that Su Xiaoxiao would definitely take action against him in the future.
Even this Mr. Shen may be his enemy in the future.
"Interesting, interesting."
As Shi Kang walked, he laughed in his heart, "Perhaps such danger can allow me to develop better."
Qi Practitioner, he will soon become a real Qi Practitioner.
Using the gift of making wishes, he will surely be able to reach higher.
