First-grade elixir is not actually a elixir, because it is refined using common medicinal materials, and some first-grade elixirs are not even pills, but are directly ointments or powdered medicines.
Therefore, strictly speaking, a first-grade elixir is not considered a elixir, and a first-grade alchemist is not a real alchemist either. Only by learning how to refine the second-grade elixir can one be called an alchemist.
Due to Chu Nan's large amount of alchemy knowledge and accumulation of memory, Lin Yi skipped the previous things and directly started refining the second-grade elixir.
Whoosh! !
Plants of elixir were thrown into the alchemy furnace, and after a while, changes occurred. Some elixir began to melt, while others remained the same.
There is also skill in putting in the elixir. The elixir that is difficult to melt should be put into the pill furnace early, and the elixir that is easy to melt should be put in last, so that it can be perfectly integrated.
So strictly speaking, the delivery time of each elixir is different. If the time is missed, it is easy to make mistakes, resulting in the failure of alchemy.
"Huh~~~"
After putting in the elixir, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief. The process was relatively simple, and he didn't make a mistake.
It is relatively simple, but relatively speaking, without Chu Nan's alchemy knowledge and experience, it is absolutely impossible for him to succeed in one attempt.
Ordinary alchemists, when they start alchemy, it is difficult to grasp the timing of the elixir if they do not inject the elixir dozens of times, even if someone gives advice.
This is just a relatively simple injection of elixir, plus a series of complicated processes such as refining the elixir, and the more difficult condensing pill. If you don't go through thousands of times of tempering, it is difficult to refine the elixir.
This is also an important reason why alchemists are rare. Just imagine, a second-grade elixir will consume a thousand gold coins every time it fails.
Ten spirit stones will die a hundred times, how can an ordinary warrior withstand such consumption.
"Refine the elixir."
While controlling the temperature, Lin Yi carefully observed the fusion of the elixir in the alchemy furnace. This step is very critical. If there is a slight difference, there is no need to practice the next elixir.
Lin Yi's forehead was sweating, but he didn't know whether it was from the heat or from his high concentration. He looked at the alchemy furnace without blinking.
hiss hiss~~~
Under his control, the elixir began to melt completely.
suddenly.
Nourishing——
A puff of black smoke came out of the alchemy furnace, and one elixir had not yet melted, and it turned completely black. Immediately afterwards, there was a lot of black smoke, and the elixir in the entire alchemy furnace turned black.
A pungent smell permeated the entire alchemy room.
"Failed."
Lin Yi curled his lips. Alchemy was more complicated than he imagined. Even with Chu Nan's knowledge and experience in alchemy, he still couldn't do it.
"continue!"
After carefully thinking about the reasons for the failure, he continued to refine the elixir.
Clean up the alchemy furnace, put in the elixir, refine the elixir...
Zizizi——
There was a lot of black smoke, and the smell was pungent. The second batch of elixir failed again, and when the last elixir was about to completely melt, the temperature was still a little too high.
"continue!"
"Zizizi——"
In three batches of pills in a row, no elixir was refined, let alone a pill.
"It's almost there, continue."
Lin Yi closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, and then continued to make alchemy. Although he failed every time, he was not discouraged, and he did not make the same mistake a second time.
Fourth furnace.
"Melt me."
Lin Yi gave a soft drink, and the last elixir was completely melted, turning into an ointment of the elixir.
Hoo hoo~~~
He let out a long sigh of relief, and he smiled. After four alchemy rounds, all the elixirs were finally perfectly integrated. The next thing is to get rid of impurities. He carefully controlled the temperature of the pill fire, some dark brown substances were squeezed out from the ointment, and the essence of the elixir became lighter and gradually rose. The impurities are also eliminated bit by bit, sticking to the bottom of the furnace
At the bottom, a faint fragrance began to diffuse.
However, due to the strong smell of the previous pungent waste pill, the fragrance was completely covered by it.
"Successful!"
Lin Yi was a little relieved that he did not make mistakes in the process of refining the elixir. In this way, even if he can't refine the pill, he will have a little more confidence in tomorrow's assessment.
"Ningdan."
Shhhhhh~~~
Strange spells were shot out from Lin Yi's fingers and entered the alchemy furnace. The floating ointment began to condense, the water evaporated, and slowly turned into an irregular round pill.
With the last spell, a perfectly round pill was born, but there were some bumps on it, not round enough.
"Hey! Is alchemy quite easy?"
Lin Yi smiled triumphantly, but his smile didn't last for ten seconds, and he found that Dan Wan suddenly trembled violently.
"not good!"
Bang~~~
The formed elixir exploded suddenly, if Lin Yi hadn't been prepared, he had to spray the dregs of the medicine on his face, the pungent smell in the room was even stronger.
Nima! Extreme joy begets sorrow...
"Come again!" Lin Yi yelled, regrouped, and started the furnace again.
the fifth time.
Bang~~~
the sixth time.
Bang~~~
Seventh time.
call out!
A green elixir flew out of the elixir furnace and landed in Lin Yi's palm. After opening the furnace for seven floors, he finally refined the first elixir.
Glancing at Huiling Pill, I saw that it was verdant, round and lustrous, full of appetite.
Kacha~~~
Before Lin Yi had time to be happy, a crack appeared on the elixir, and the radiance of the verdant elixir dimmed a bit.
Inferior medicine? Lin Yi stared.
In half an afternoon, all ten sets of elixirs were practiced.
He successfully completed both the eighth alchemy and the ninth alchemy, and produced a high-quality Huiling Pill, and directly refined the top-quality elixir for the tenth time.
...
At dusk, Yang Qingwan stepped into the alchemy room, and she couldn't help frowning. Although the alchemy room was cleaned up, the pungent smell of waste pills inside could not dissipate no matter what.
"Cough cough cough! How many pills has this brat broken?"
Yang Qingwan shook her head. She saw a lot of disciples like Lin Yi, and she thought she had learned some alchemy knowledge, so she started alchemy secretly, and in the end not only could not make anything, but also wasted a lot of money.
After walking out of the alchemy room, Yang Qingwan showed a slight smile. She felt that when they met again, Lin Yi would definitely ask her about alchemy...
On the second day, Lin Yi spent five or six thousand gold coins, almost all the money on his body, and took all the elixir needed for five kinds of elixir, including Jinchuang Dan, Healing Pill, Dragon and Tiger Pill, Naling Pill, and Huiling Pill. Bought ten pairs.
But instead of going to the alchemy academy, he practiced "Leading Thunder Fist" at home for a whole day. After a day of practice, "Leading Thunder Fist" became more pure and pure, but he still didn't understand the basics of boxing.
No matter how much you practice, you can't make a thunder sound. Xuanjie's exercises are more difficult than he imagined. It may also be the reason why he didn't enter the Tong Xuan Realm, and the aura didn't transform into a gang.
Early on the third day.
Lin Yi came to the Alchemy Academy early, and when he entered the courtyard of the Alchemy Academy, there were already two people waiting there.
A man and a woman, both in their early twenties, the man is tall and thin, with a somewhat sinister demeanor.
The woman's appearance is average, but she has a fairy spirit that ordinary people don't have.
The cultivation bases of the two are both at the seventh level of the Transformation Realm.
Seeing Lin Yi's arrival, the man looked him up carefully, seeing that he was not very old, showing a bit of contempt.
"Are you Lin Yi who passed the first round of assessment the day before yesterday?"
The woman had a peaceful expression and greeted Lin Yi with a smile.
"Huh! Who are you?" Lin Yi nodded, and then asked.
The woman continued to laugh and said, "We passed the first round of assessment yesterday. My name is Jiang Xiaorou, and you can just call me Senior Sister Xiaorou. Junior Brother Lin Yi passed the first round of assessment at such a young age. It's really amazing!"
Her voice is similar to her name, and she speaks softly, which sounds very comfortable.
"Hello, Senior Sister Xiaorou!"
Lin Yi nodded, this Jiang Xiaorou, that shady young man, and yesterday's Qian Pingzhi are all disciples of alchemy and have not yet become an alchemist.
Ordinary alchemists look down on the work of refining elixir. It only costs a few hundred gold coins a month, which is a complete waste of time. They can make thousands of gold coins by refining a pot of elixir casually.
Only those who have not become alchemists are interested in refining elixir. Not only will you have the opportunity to refine the elixir, but you may also receive free guidance from your mentor. Lin Yi was different from them. He didn't want to become an alchemist admired by everyone, and he wasn't too interested in alchemy. The reason why he did alchemy was to earn cultivation resources through alchemy. Therefore, he did not want to become a disciple of the alchemy academy, and came to alchemy
The only purpose of the courtyard is to contact the alchemy furnace.
"Today we are going to be rivals, Junior Brother Lin please show mercy?" Jiang Xiaorou blinked playfully.
"Sister Xiaorou should be merciful."
Lin Yi and Jiang Xiaorou chatted one after another. He usually doesn't talk much, but the mature and intellectual Jiang Xiaorou he met today made him talk a lot.
The shady young man didn't say a word, and looked at Lin Yi contemptuously from time to time.
After waiting for a short time, Qian Pingzhi also arrived.
"Junior Brother Lin, Brother Yu is really surprised that you are here." Qian Pingzhi smiled with a hint of threat.
Lin Yi flicked the skirt of his shirt, and said calmly, "What? Is Senior Brother Qian afraid of me coming?"
"You're fine, I'm afraid you won't come."
A sharp light flashed in Qian Pingzhi's eyes, and then he stopped talking, but looked at Jiang Xiaorou, that sinister young man, and sized them up carefully.
At this moment, Yang Qingwan brought Gu Xuejiao into the Alchemy Academy, she glanced at the four of them, and said, "Everyone is here, come with me."
He kept walking while talking, and walked into the alchemy room the day before yesterday. Seeing this, the four saluted and followed into the alchemy room. "Today's assessment is very simple. It is to refine the elixir. I have forty pieces of elixir for the elixir. Each of you has ten pairs. Whoever extracts the elixir with the least impurities will pass today's assessment and refine the elixir. Failure is not allowed, if you fail once, you will be eliminated directly. Compared with the final elixir, there can only be two people left."
