Chapter two hundred and twenty-ninth, the magic of Wanhuahuanjue
There is no problem with medicinal materials. After all, although there are examples of bitter grass like this that just grow on a piece of metal ore, they cannot be encountered twice in a row.
So after confirming that the medicinal materials are fine, Xiao Mo cleaned the alchemy furnace again, turned on the ground fire, and melted the alchemy liquid...
This time, the four herbs successfully melted into a ball of crystal clear medicine and slowly began to aggregate to the center, which reached the critical moment of becoming a elixir.
Until this time, because of insufficient experience in alchemy, the four kinds of alchemy liquids were unable to control them well when they fused, and a small explosion of furnace exploded. As a stream of black smoke rose, a burnt smell came. This time, the real alchemy failed.
The previous two times cannot be called alchemy at all, but just melting alchemy liquid. This time, it failed in the process of forming alchemy. When Xiao Mo raised his head, the teacher and student of Zhongli Dan were afraid that he would be hit and immediately said, "Okay, let's go here first today. Don't be under too much pressure. If I teach you for a few days, you can directly refine the first-grade alchemy and become a first-grade alchemist, then this alchemist is too worthless."
He paused and then continued: "In fact, starting from the first-grade pill, you went wrong from the beginning. You should start from the ordinary pill. Although ordinary pills are not valuable and are easily overlooked, they are the real start of an alchemist."
Speaking of this, Master Zhongli looked at Xiao Mo and said earnestly: "It is a good thing to have ambition, but no one can become fat in one bite. You have to walk step by step. Start by refining the ordinary alchemy. After refining the ordinary alchemy, mastering the techniques, having confidence, and then refining the first-grade alchemy, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
After patting Xiao Mo's shoulder, Zhongli's alchemist smiled and encouraged, "Okay, go back and think carefully. Within half a month, you can successfully refine a furnace of pills. Even if you succeed, it's only the first day. Failure is nothing. Which alchemist has not grown up slowly in thousands of failures. It is almost impossible to think that you can become pills in just three times, unless you are a real alchemy genius, the kind of person who is born to know, but unfortunately, you are not such a person, and I am not."
"yes."
I knew that Master Zhongli was relaxing his heart, and Xiao Mo also understood that the other party was right, no one could succeed at the first time. If that were the case, there would be no need to learn. It seems that today can only end here and practice it yourself again.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo was about to say goodbye to Master Zhongli.
However, before leaving, he first closed the Earth Fire Talisman array, and then cleaned up the elixir residue in the elixir he had refined to ensure that there would be no remains. After affecting the refining of later generations, he said goodbye to the alchemist Zhongli.
However, when he said goodbye, Xiao Mo's heart moved and remembered that he had never used the Fire-Rushing Golden Lotus Technique and the Xuanhuo Cauldron. I wonder what would happen if they were used to refine the elixir?
But today, Master Zhongli has warned him to the end. If he still wants to refine it forcibly, it is probably a matter of dislike of Master Zhongli.
After all, he still knows the truth that too much is not enough, and to be honest, it is not suitable to use the Xuanhuo Cauldron to refine elixirs in such public places. It is better to go back to your room and try again.
Thinking of this, he spoke, "Master Zhong, I want to get three portions of medicinal materials. When I go back, I will try it myself and think about it. If it really doesn't work, I will start from the ordinary alchemy, don't you know?"
When Master Zhongli's alchemist heard this, his expression looked a little ugly, and he looked at Xiao Mo with some disappointment.
To be honest, he accepted disciples and not only did he get any benefits, but he also had to provide them with the medicinal materials for their early refining hands, which was already a loss.
However, this is still acceptable for the prospect of cultivating a genius disciple. However, it is fine to refine elixirs in front of him, but he also has to get the medicinal materials to go back to refine...
First, after returning, do you really know how to refine or use these medicinal materials for other purposes? As long as he doesn’t really make a pill, who knows?
Second, he had already warned Xiao Mo that too much is not enough. Just now, Xiao Mo asked for words to go back to the house to refine it. Without him on the side, he would be able to see how many problems a disciple who had just entered the alchemy path would not tell you. Who can tell me about it?
It is equivalent to Xiao Mo's refining like this, and not to mention the waste of medicinal materials. But the waste of these medicinal materials is not Xiao Mo himself, but his Zhongli alchemist...
Although a medicinal material for the Qingwu Spirit Building Pill is not worth much, it will be worth a lot. If every disciple often does this in the future, even if he is a powerful fourth-grade alchemist, he will not be able to bear it.
After all, he has not had enough in his life and wants to hit the bottleneck of the fifth-grade alchemist. The Academy of Materials will not reimburse him for all of them. He needs to spend money to buy them all. Every time he collects a fifth-grade alchemist, he will suffer a lot of losses if he fails.
So he himself is not rich, and he is even more disliked by Xiao Mo's actions.
However, thinking that this was the first time Xiao Mo asked him, and noticed that he would take the initiative to close the talisman array and clean the alchemy furnace before leaving, the alchemy master Zhongli couldn't help but feel soft again. He nodded: "Okay, you go to the front yard to collect it...but, this is only once, if there is another time..."
Speaking of this, he paused, then flicked his sleeves and said calmly: "You should do it yourself!"
After saying that, he took the girl in blue Zuo Xiutong and left first.
But Xiao Mo was stunned, not understanding why Master Zhongli suddenly became so bad about him. After thinking about it, he finally realized: "So that's it. It seems that this is indeed impossible in the future. Even in the future, he must try to buy and collect the medicinal materials he has to practice with himself."
If you use one more point to the Zhongli alchemist, you will owe more favors. If the other party doesn’t like him, it’s best not to owe too many favors, otherwise you won’t be able to pay them back in the future.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo was determined, but since he agreed and the disgust had already caused it, there was no need to be pretentious about this little thing. If he could refine the pill, he would probably forget about this matter soon and be too happy. If he kept failing, he would not be able to speak up again.
So Xiao Mo did not hesitate and then left the backyard and went straight to the front yard. He selected three medicinal materials to refine the "Clearing and Defiling Spiritual Pill", turned around and left, and returned to his cottage in the middle yard again.
At this time, Xiao Mo already knew that in the Qingfeng Courtyard owned by Master Zhongli, the intermediate courtyard is the residence of all alchemy apprentices and four middle and low-level alchemists, with a total of twenty rooms.
Because Zhongli Alchemist already has twelve alchemist apprentices and four personal disciple-level alchemists, sixteen of them already have masters, and Xiao Mo lives in one of the four empty rooms, but it is just a remote one.
However, Xiao Mo didn't like to disturb him, and the Xuanhuo Cauldron was a bit special, Xiao Mo was quite grateful to the girl in blue for the arrangement. At least in this way, if something abnormal happened when he used the Xuanhuo Cauldron to refine the alchemy, it would not be easy to be discovered.
After returning to the room, Xiao Mo closed the door, thought for a while, and hung a sign outside the door for seclusion, then returned to the center of the house and sat down, took out the Xuanhuo Cauldron from the storage bag, and placed it on the open space in the center.
Afterwards, Xiao Mo sat in front of the Xuanhuo Cauldron, thought quietly, and did not take action immediately.
Time passed by minute by minute, and when it was night, the entire Qingfeng Courtyard became quiet. The corner of Xiao Mo's house was even more silent and no one would visit.
In such a dark night, Xiao Mo finally opened his eyes from entering into meditation and stood up suddenly.
"call!"
As his left hand lifted, a large amount of heart energy turned into red flames gushing out, wrapping the Xuanhuo Cauldron. The Xuanhuo Cauldron flashed wildly in an instant, and then his body grew sharply, and finally became like a normal alchemy furnace. Xiao Mo stopped inputting the Heart Energy.
Then, Xiao Mo followed the steps of refining the Qingwu Spirit Building Pill during the day, first dealing with the medicinal materials to ensure that the three portions of medicinal materials are free of problems. Then he cleaned the alchemy to ensure that the alchemy was also free of problems, and then officially started to refine the alchemy.
The first thing is to attract earthly fire.
Speaking of which, because this is Qingfengyuan, the house needs were considered when it was built, so there is a small earth fire talisman array underground in the center of each hut, which can cause the earth fire to surge out as long as it is opened.
Xiao Mo had not refined elixirs before, so he naturally did not show it. But at this time, as he pinched the magic trick and waved it to the ground, he suddenly "splashed" sound, like a door opened, and countless orange-red flames jumped out, wrapping the Xuanhuo Cauldron in an instant.
After confirming that the furnace temperature was appropriate and everything was under control, Xiao Mo waved his hand and the first auxiliary medicine stored in the storage bag, the clear filthy grass shot out directly and flew into the center of the alchemy furnace.
The red flame wrapped it up. After the previous three failures, Xiao Mo was already familiar with the journey. In an instant, the high temperature released by the orange-red flames refined the filthy grass. A ball of light green and transparent medicine floated over the alchemy furnace.
The second plant, the blood-refining herb, was refined and the light red medicine liquid appeared.
The third plant, bitter grass, the fourth plant, Qingfeng Shuo Linghua, all had no problems. Four balls of medicine were suspended, like four pearls, shining over the alchemy furnace.
“Fusion!”
Xiao Mo's palm changed, and suddenly the magic trick changed. The earth fires wrapped in the Xuanhuo Cauldron suddenly jumped sharply, and then turned into phantoms of golden lotus flowers, stuck into the Xuanhuo Cauldron, and disappeared.
The Xuanhuo Cauldron suddenly shone brightly, and a mysterious aura suddenly emitted.
Four balls of medicine liquid suddenly intersected over the elixir furnace, and then a trace of white smoke rose. This was a necessary process when the medicines were blended together, and Xiao Mo didn't care. As time passed, the four balls of medicine liquid finally slowly merged into a ball, turning into a ball of dark green pill liquid, which continued to rise and fall over the Xuanhuo Cauldron.
The next step is the process of becoming a elixir.
Xiao Mo's heartbeats the eyes of Nozi, and controls the flame to slowly wrap it. Gradually, the elixir liquid gradually solidifies and turns into a rough elixir.
Next, as long as the flame is kept burning and it is completely formed, the furnace of elixir will be completed.
However, reality is not that good after all, and extreme happiness leads to sorrow. The process of finally forming a pill is the most important, but undoubtedly the most difficult.
As the pill liquid rolled, suddenly, the light red pill liquid representing the blood-refining grass suddenly lit up. Obviously, the fusion was not successful. The next moment, with a "puff", a burnt smell came, and the fourth pill refining failed again.
"How could it be?"
Xiao Mo stayed there and couldn't speak for a long time.
This time, he actually had enough confidence. Whether it was the Xuanhuo Cauldron or the Fire-Ring Golden Lotus technique, he had successfully reached the last step of refining alchemy, but he would still fail in the process of finally forming an alchemy?
"What is the reason? Is it because I cannot fully control the properties of the medicine and make it fail to integrate?"
“By the way…”
Suddenly, Xiao Mo thought of something and his eyes lit up: "Maybe, there is a way to avoid all this and make it forcefully merge successfully without any accidents..."
"That is, use the method of returning all things to absorb a lot of vitality and inject it into the pills, so that it can be combined with various medicinal properties, avoid conflicts, and forcefully merge!"
After all, qi is the source of all things in the world. If you have qi, the medicine liquid will instantly become peaceful and harmless. With the buffer between the two, there will be no conflict again. As long as Xiao Mo's soul perception is strong enough, he can forcibly control them to merge.
But, Xiao Mo's soul perception is far beyond ordinary people, and this difficulty is not a problem for him.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt it was feasible. Xiao Mo did it as soon as he thought of it, immediately calmed down, closed the earth fire, cleaned the Xuanhuo Cauldron, and then started a new round of alchemy.
Anyway, there is no loss when trying it. If his idea is really feasible, then wouldn't it mean that as long as Xiao Mo does not have problems in the early stage of alchemy in the future, he will never fail in the last and most critical part.
Where are the failures of others? Why is the rate of elixir production so low? No matter how you prepare, various problems will arise during the elixir production stage.
If Xiao Mo can overcome this problem, then his elixir yield rate will not be normal 30% or 40%, or even 50% or 60%, but at least 80% or 90% of it...
The last 10% will occur in the early stage of treating medicinal materials and refining medicinal liquids that will not have any problems. However, in this 10% period, as long as Xiao Mo is careful, the probability of problems will continue to be narrowed.
Finally, if it really works, Xiao Mo can almost reach a elixir rate of more than 90%, which is much more terrifying than 60% that can make people get rich overnight.
Even if an alchemist is a master, he can generally maintain a elixir rate of 70% or 80% of the elixir yield at most. Not to mention a elixir of the same level, it is good to have 30% or 40% or 50% or 50% of the same level, and Xiao Mo is a master, and 90% of the same level is definitely a horrifying number.
The first medicinal herb, clear filthy grass, was successfully refined, and the light green medicinal liquid appeared.
The second medicinal herb, blood refining herb, was successfully refined, and the light red medicine liquid appeared.
The third taste, the fourth taste...
Very good, there were no problems in the early stage, the key moment has arrived.
Xiao Mo directly pinched the fingers and used the fire golden lotus technique, and a large amount of flames turned into golden lotus and merged into the Xuanhuo Cauldron. The Xuanhuo Cauldron shone brightly for a moment, and the "buzz..." vibrated, and four balls of medicine began to merge.
But this time, Xiao Mo waved his hand and suddenly a strong suction force appeared in his body. In the surrounding yard, a large amount of stored medicines became angry, and even some trees, green grass, potted plants, etc. all turned yellow.
The vitality merged into a vast green dragon, which was directly sucked into Xiao Mo's body. Then, with a flash of his finger, a small snake-like blue vitality was injected into the sky above the alchemy cauldron, constantly expanding and changing. It seemed that there was another danger of "exploding the pill". The four pill liquid suddenly trembled and then calmed down in an instant.
Xiao Mo's powerful soul perception constantly controlled the flames and heated them up.
One quarter of an hour passed, two quarters of an hour passed...
Suddenly, a strange medicinal fragrance suddenly spread out in the Xuanhuo Cauldron, and four elixirs were completely integrated. The four medicinal properties intersected and merged with each other, and some incredible changes occurred. A dark green, round elixir as big as a thumb, slowly formed.
"It's this moment!"
Suddenly, Xiao Mo waved his hand, and the earth fire talisman array below the Xuanhuo Cauldron closed, and the flames wrapped around the Xuanhuo Cauldron slowly retreated until they were completely extinguished. With Xiao Mo waved his hand, a miniature wind whirlpool brought the completely solidified dark green pill in the alchemy to Xiao Mo.
"It's done!"
At this moment, looking at the dark green in front of me, a first-grade low-level spiritual pill with a faint fluctuation of medicine could clearly feel the light fluctuation of medicine. The Qingwu Spiritual Pill, an uncontrollable ecstasy color appeared in Xiao Mo's eyes.
He was not only happy that he failed four times in a row, but finally succeeded in refining the fifth time. All his efforts were rewarded, and he was even more happy that his guess was confirmed.
The energy of heaven and earth that came from the Wanpean Return Art can indeed help suppress the conflict caused by the fusion of the last elixir liquid. Moreover, it seems that this elixir that should be just an ordinary quality has caused some incredible changes.
Staring at Dan, a dark green luster flashed slightly, Xiao Mo narrowed his eyes.
"This seems to be not an ordinary quality pill, but at least a good product..."
