The spiritual pill of clearing filth is a first-grade low-level elixir. Its main function is to remove blood filth in the body, build a spiritual foundation, and enhance physical qualifications. It is used by many monks entering the state of meditation to cut off their hair and cleanse their bodies when they first enter the path of mind cultivation.

It is not difficult to refine this elixir. You only need the main medicine, Qingfeng Soul Flower, as well as the three auxiliary medicines, Qingwu Grass, Blood Refining Grass, and bitter grass... Of course, the effect will not be very powerful.

Many disciples of aristocratic families and descendants who are to be trained in the academy, when they first entered the state of meditation, their bodies could not bear the medicinal power of too strong elixirs, so they would use this first-grade low-level Qingwu Building Spirit Pill to clean up the impurities of the body.

However, Xiao Mo's parents both died and there was nothing when he embarked on the road of cultivation. Even this first-grade low-level elixir family would not provide him with it, so he had never used it.

Unexpectedly, one day I had to refine the elixir that I had never used before, and my heart was very complicated.

However, no matter how complicated it was, Xiao Mo quickly calmed down and began to select medicinal materials.

The main material for refining Qingwu Spirit Building Pills, Qingfeng Soul Flower, is a gray-grade intermediate medicinal material, which takes between five and twenty years. The other three auxiliary medicines are only gray-grade low-grade medicinal materials, and the age is not limited, but it is appropriate to have about ten years.

Xiao Mo came to the front yard and quickly picked three portions of medicinal herbs, and then took them to the back yard together.

It is not to prepare one portion, but three portions, because even if Xiao Mo is arrogant, he doesn’t think that he can successfully refine it in one go just trying to refine the alchemy. Therefore, preparing three portions is to prepare three times for the test. If one fails, there will be a second time, and if the second time fails, there will be a third time.

If you fail three times in a row, it is obviously a problem with your alchemy ability, and it will be of no effect if you continue. You have to find out your own problem first and solve it before you can continue, otherwise it will be a waste of medicinal materials.

Although he became a master Zhongli's alchemy apprentice and some low-level medicinal materials for Xiao Mo to practice can be provided for free, there is also a limit. If Xiao Mo refines dozens or hundreds of medicinal materials for Master Zhongli a day, even if it is low-level, Master Zhongli will feel distressed.

Although even dozens or hundreds of gray-scale medicinal herbs are not worth much money, it is obvious that they failed so many times in a row, but they were exhausted but achieved nothing. Xiao Mo's status in Master Zhongli's mind is probably greatly reduced. He can tolerate him in a day or two, and if he goes on for a few days in a row, he will probably be expelled from the wall.

It’s not that he is reluctant to spend money, but that he only knows how to do things recklessly, does not know how to learn from experience and change his strategies, and is no longer worth his continued teaching.

He placed three portions of twelve medicinal herbs in front of him on the alchemy platform. Xiao Mo came to the alchemy cauldron, took a deep breath, and looked serious.

Finally, I am going to officially start elixir. To be honest, it is impossible not to be nervous. However, Xiao Mo can still control his mood well and does not cause too much fluctuation.

Master Zhongli looked at it with great relief and nodded: "Very good. The first element of an alchemist is that no matter what environment he faces, he must have a state of mind that is unchanging in his face and his face is unchanging. It is unwavering. It is very common for various changes to occur during the alchemy process. If you don't have a strong heart, no matter how smart the alchemy technique is, it will be useless."

"Yes, thanks to Master Zhong for his teachings, I remember it."

Xiao Mo nodded, moved his hands, and suddenly blurred on the alchemy platform in front of him, and his ten fingers flew.

As his fingers danced, twelve medicinal herbs appeared in his hands one by one. The unused tendons, the soil stuck on them, and some debris stuck during their growth were all cleaned up by him.

This is the first step in elixir refining, cleaning up the medicinal materials.

The medicinal materials that have just been picked are not directly used. Some may be stuck with feces of certain beasts, some may be covered with too much dust after being exposed to sun and rain for many years, and some may be covered with too much dust. Some may be used as leaves, and some may be used as roots, and the excess must be removed.

Whether it is wild animal feces, dust, or excess medicinal materials, it may change the medicinal properties and lead to failure of alchemy. Therefore, this first step must be done well.

Fortunately, in the first ten days, what Master Zhongli taught Xiao Mo was only these most basic things. Today, Xiao Mo was also perfect and did his best within his ability.

After a moment, all the twelve medicinal materials were sorted out. Xiao Mo put them again on the alchemy platform, then took a deep breath, and began the second step.

Turn on the furnace!

The so-called opening of the furnace is to check the alchemy furnace and ignite the earth's fire.

The so-called checking the alchemy furnace and ignite the earth's fire, first of all, we must thoroughly check the alchemy furnace. Before the elixir is officially started, there are any abnormalities and any impurities left by the last alchemy refining. If there is, it must be cleaned up.

In addition, whether the talisman array that ignites the earth fire is smooth and natural and intact will affect the success rate of the subsequent alchemy.

Xiao Mo did not use his Xuanhuo Cauldron to refine the alchemy this time, but a low-level alchemy furnace assigned to him by Master Zhongli. In the alchemy room in his backyard, there are dozens of such low-level alchemy furnaces, which are all for his disciples to practice normally, and of course the grade will not be very high.

When practicing, you can't use a very high alchemy furnace.

When Master Zhongli and others first chose the site of the Alchemy Hall, it was because there was a hidden earth fire under the alchemy hall. They invited a master formation master to come here to arrange it into a very huge earth fire talisman array. It is not displayed normally. As long as a button is turned on, the ground fire underground will gush out, and the alchemy furnace will be heated instantly according to the alchemist's control.

Of course, the strength of the earth fire emitted is different, and how to control these earth fires depends on a person's true strength.

If you can't even control the Fire Marquis, it's best not to refine the elixir directly, because doing so is a waste of time, energy, and medicinal materials.

Fortunately, Xiao Mo's soul has a strong sense of perception, and he has practiced an ancient low-level alchemy in advance, and the golden lotus of Fire has long had his own experience in controlling the flames, so there is no problem with this step.

Open the alchemy furnace, make sure it is correct, open the talisman array, control the earth fire to gush out from the bottom of the alchemy furnace, slowly wrap it up, and burn it into red in a short time, and the furnace is turned on!

Next, the most important step is to refine alchemy!

Xiao Mo's eyes were solemn, and his mental power was gathered to the peak. He did not dare to slack off at all. He stared at the alchemy furnace in front of him, feeling the temperature of the flames, and his soul's perception surged out without thinking, fully controlling the entire alchemy furnace to ensure that the alchemy furnace is heated evenly and everything is no different.

Then, he finally began to formally refine alchemy.

With a move of his finger, he refines the first auxiliary medicine for the Qingwu Spirit Building Pill. The Qingwu Grass turns into a ray of green light and throws it into the air above the elixir furnace.

As soon as the clear and dirty grass fell over the alchemy furnace, it instantly felt the change in the furnace temperature below. The light green herbs became a little darker in an instant. Then, in a thousandth of an instant, it completely faded away and turned into a ball of some blue-black juice.

However, this is only the initial refining. At this time, there are still impurities in the filthy grass. The step of removing impurities is to truly test the alchemist's ability to control fire.

Xiao Mo's soul perception tightly locked the blue and black juice above the elixir furnace. The talisman array below was dim and the firepower dropped rapidly. It finally maintained at a relatively balanced temperature. It could slightly burn the blue and black juice above, but it would not completely evaporate it in an instant.

As the flames were wrapped, the blue and black juice made a "wavy" sound, and a lot of white smoke came out of the surface. After a while, the dark colors inside disappeared, and the colors became light green and transparent.

This second step is to remove impurities and be considered complete.

Next to the alchemy furnace, Master Zhongli looked around without blinking, and nodded with satisfaction when he saw this. From the beginning to now, Xiao Mo has performed perfectly. Among the more than ten alchemy apprentice he taught, it is rare that he can achieve this level.

But at this time, he naturally did not make a sound to disturb Xiao Mo, but let him play.

The next step is the most difficult step. After refining the medicinal liquid, the other three medicinal herbs must be refined separately and then purified. At this time, the power of the heart and soul must be divided into four, and at the same time control the changes of the four groups of medicinal liquid to ensure that the flames are heated differently. Finally, melt the four groups of medicinal liquid together and refine the elixir!

If this step is done well, the probability of success in alchemy will increase greatly. If this step is not done, everything you have done before will be useless.

In the following time, Xiao Mo threw the second and third auxiliary medicines of Qingfei Spirit Building Pill, the Blood Refining Grass, and the bitter grass into it. They were also purified and turned into two crystal liquids, one red and one black, and they were suspended above the elixir furnace together with the original green one.

Xiao Mo felt excited, very good, there was nothing wrong with this step, and the next step was to refine the main medicine.

However, it was precisely because of this excitement that when he threw out the main material of Qingwu Spirit Building Pill, that is, the gray-grade intermediate medicinal material, Qingfeng Spirit Flower, an abnormal change appeared.

With the fluctuation of Xiao Mo's soul power, among the four flames controlled by his soul power, two groups of them immediately fluctuated with one array.

Xiao Mo was refining the main medicine, but two balls of auxiliary medicines suddenly heard two "puffs". The power of the flame increased, and the two balls of medicine evaporated at the same time, turning into two white light smoke.

As soon as there was a failure, Xiao Mo's heart skipped a beat, his mind became more and more focused. The main medicine was the last to assist. At the same time, the problem occurred. The power of the flame was chaotic. "Puff, puff..." and two more balls of blue smoke rose.

The first alchemy was refined, failed!

Xiao Mo was stunned, while Master Zhongli was standing aside, but he looked at him with a smile and did not speak out.

After a while, Xiao Mo shook his head and came back from his loss of consciousness. Master Zhongli looked at him and said, "Did you figure it out?"

Xiao Mo nodded and said with a somewhat ugly expression: "I figured it out. The disciple's mental cultivation is still not enough. When he saw that there was no problem before, he felt a joyful mind. Once the mind relaxed, there was a problem with the flame control. Once the flame control problem occurs, the medicinal materials will be directly refined into flying smoke!"

"very good."

Master Zhongli didn't expect Xiao Mo to succeed in his first alchemy. If this were the case, it wouldn't be so rare.

Although Xiao Mo has excellent mentality, perseverance, soul perception, and even understanding, how can he make progress without experiencing a few failures?

Even Master Zhongli would rather Xiao Mo fail several times. Only by calming his mind and nature, he can make steady progress instead of succeeding in refining all the alchemy in one step. Then he will be overstated and feel that alchemy is just like this.

So, he did not scold Xiao Mo, but instead said softly: "Just attract a lesson, let's start over!"

"yes."

Xiao Mo nodded and agreed, but did not start to refine the alchemy immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes and waited for a full quarter of an hour before opening it again. His eyes returned to its original clear and calmness. Then he walked forward, turned off the ground fire, cleaned the alchemy furnace, and then turned on the ground fire again, making a second retry attempt!
Chapter completed!
