Chapter 4490

Although the first step of alchemy is to debate and know medicine first, for most alchemists, they often only instill such ideas into those alchemy apprentices. As for themselves, how many people can really abide by this rule?

This is often the case... Many people maintain an attitude of awe and caution when they are unfamiliar with something. Once you get more in touch with something and become familiar with it... You will naturally lose your heart of awe and caution.

How else can a good swimmer drown? People who can't swim are mostly afraid to get close to rivers, lakes and seas, and even dare not go deep into them. People who can swim don't take it seriously, and even take the initiative to swim to the depth of water. In this way... The probability of accidents will naturally increase greatly.

This is because they have lost their awe and caution about water. They feel that water is their friend. The buoyancy of water can lift themselves up and it is impossible to drown. But I don't know... Even if it's a true friend, there are times when you turn your face ruthlessly!

Those alchemists, when they were apprentices and the first formal alchemy, must have been cautious and dared not miss a detail. But... When they really became official alchemists and personally refined hundreds of heats and thousands of heats of pills, their original caution and caution gradually disappeared.

Therefore, if these red rattan roots are used by alchemists who have lost their awe and caution, I'm afraid they will find it difficult to detect the abnormality of this thing at the first time and will use them as real red rattan roots. Then the trouble will not be small at that time.

Hall leader Yu, they naturally understand this truth, so... It's not surprising that Lushan can find the red vine root.

Soon, the elder changed a batch of chiteng roots and put them on the table for inspection by Lushan.

This time, the appearance of the red vine root is not as good as that just now, but it is the real red vine root. Lushan carefully checked it and confirmed the weight of each medicinal material. He divided each medicinal material into three parts in strict accordance with the weight marked on the danfang. I didn't expect that... There was even a surplus of each medicinal material!

This can't help but make Lushan doubt... The medicinal materials that the elder took for him can not be refined into three heats, but four heats!

However... He didn't go deep into this problem. He just thought it was the medicine taken by the elders according to the danfang formula, and he deliberately gave more to avoid accidental loss of some medicinal materials during purification. This is also possible.

So he simply divided another medicinal material, and finally only a little was left, which was gathered aside by him alone.

Seeing that Lushan even divided the herbs into four parts, hall leader Yu and the two elders couldn't help looking at each other, and their faces showed a look of ridicule and disdain.

From their experience, we can naturally see... Lu Shan is afraid that today is the first time to refine pills. It's estimated that he hasn't even touched a Dan furnace before! Moreover, even if this boy had studied alchemy, he mostly taught himself through alchemy classics. No alchemist had really taught him, or even dialed him a little.

This can be seen from Lushan's sorting of medicinal materials in strict accordance with the amount marked by Dan Fang

Yes, it is true that the Dan prescription clearly marks the weight of each medicinal material needed, but... An alchemy apprentice with a little experience will know that the weight recorded on the Dan prescription is only the best weight in theory, but it can only be played by a great alchemy master, or at least someone with the level of an alchemy master.

However, it is impossible for an ordinary alchemist to extract all the effective components in a medicinal material, and most of them will be wasted by 20 to 30%.

Every alchemist has a clear understanding of his own purification ability. Therefore, when sorting medicinal materials, he will weigh about 30% more medicinal materials according to the weight of Dan Fang. In this way... He can ensure that in the next process of alchemy, alchemy will not fail because of the lack of purified medicinal materials.

Basically, only those who have not been taught by the master, but have only seen some alchemy classics, and then naively think that they can refine pills as long as they draw gourds and ladles, and they will sort medicinal materials in strict accordance with the weight of the classics! Just a novice... If you can refine it into a pill, then there will be a ghost!

Hall leader Yu and the two elders shook their heads secretly. If it weren't for the face of the supreme elder and sect leader Xia, I'm afraid I'd have to stop Lushan now and let him stop embarrassing!

However... Since it has been said that Lushan will be given an hour before, it would be too shameful to stop in advance now! So although they were sure that Lu Shan could not even refine a furnace of pills, they didn't say anything... Of course, they didn't mean to remind Lu Shan at all, so they just waited quietly for him to fail!

Seeing the reaction of the three people, the supreme elder and Xia Yuanshan, who were watching from a distance, probably knew that Lushan must have made some major mistakes, but... Neither of them knew alchemy. They didn't know exactly what was wrong, so they had to worry there.

Lushan has been carefully sorting out medicinal materials, and did not see the reaction of the three people at all. And... After all, he has no real experience in alchemy. Even if he finds the abnormalities of the three, he probably doesn't know what his fault is. The only thing he can rely on is the alchemy classics remembered in his mind. Naturally, he can only do it in strict accordance with the contents recorded above!

How can he know... Those who are qualified to record the ancient books of God are generally at least alchemy masters. When refining pills, especially when refining this low-level pill, they can basically avoid wasting medicinal materials and purify most of the medicinal power. Therefore, they only need to sort the medicinal materials according to the amount recorded in the Dan prescription, But this method is not suitable for novices in alchemy!

However, even if Lu Shan knows this, he doesn't know how far he can purify the medicinal materials. It's also difficult to make correct adjustments. Therefore... For the first time, it's not a problem to sort the medicinal materials strictly according to the weight of the Dan prescription.

After selecting the medicinal materials of two different pills, a total of eight heats of pills were obtained. Lushan put these herbs in the order that they will be put into the pill stove in turn, and then officially prepared to open the stove for alchemy!
