Chapter 250: Success
Inside the alchemy hall fire room, Qin Tian sat cross-legged beside a ground fire furnace.
In front of him, there were more than ten exquisite jade boxes containing spiritual medicines and a half-human-high spiritual furnace.
Originally, after a cultivator reached the foundation-building stage, he could use the "innate true fire" formed in his body to make alchemy and refine instruments.
However, since Qin Tian was refining alchemy for the first time, he was not particularly proficient in fire control, so he could only use the stable ground fire in the alchemy hall.
As for the more than ten jade boxes, they were low-year spiritual medicines needed to refine the primary elixir "Juqi Dan". The price was not high, so it was suitable for practice!
In order to ensure the success rate, all the spiritual medicines had been refined and purified by Qin Tian. Now the remaining things were almost all the essence of the spiritual medicines!
And before coming here, Qin Tian had already read all kinds of basic ancient books on alchemy, and specially consulted Bai Haoyuan for a long time.
Therefore, now he has mastered the basic knowledge of alchemy and various tedious steps in his mind, and what he lacks is only practical experience!
After sitting quietly and adjusting his breath for a while, Qin Tian suddenly raised his hand and pinched his fingers, and saw that the dragon head on the earth fire furnace quickly sprayed out a dark red flame, wrapping the spiritual furnace inside.
This is the first step of alchemy, burning the furnace with flames to make the internal temperature reach a certain level, commonly known as warming the furnace!
After a while, when the inner wall of the furnace was burned and faintly red, Qin Tian waved his sleeves without hesitation and opened the lid of the furnace. At the same time, he began to put all kinds of spiritual medicines in the jade box in front of him into it in a certain order.
And when putting in the spiritual medicine, the interval time was long and short, which was obviously carried out according to a certain rule.
However, in less than an incense stick of time, when the fourth spiritual medicine was put in, because Qin Tian failed to control the temperature of the earth fire in time, a burnt temperature came from the furnace shortly after the spiritual medicine was put in!
Obviously, under this influence, the first time to open the furnace to refine the elixir was completely scrapped!
Seeing this, Qin Tian was not discouraged. Instead, he condensed a ball of clear water to clean the furnace, and then began to close his eyes and meditate, reviewing the various problems that occurred in the process of refining the elixir just now, as well as some details that were not handled well.
After a full cup of tea, Qin Tian's brows were relaxed, and then he opened the furnace to refine the elixir again.
But unfortunately, even though Qin Tian had prepared this time, when placing the sixth spiritual fruit, the temperature of the ground fire was too low, causing the spiritual fruit to fail to completely melt into juice. When it was finally fused with other spiritual medicines, the medicinal properties changed!
So, a pungent smell suddenly came from the inside of the elixir furnace.
Seeing this scene, Qin Tian frowned tightly, and did not continue to try to refine the elixir. Instead, he began to reflect calmly.
After all, the two consecutive mistakes were due to the lack of proficiency in the art of controlling fire. Even if the ground fire in the alchemy room was regulated by the formation, the "fire control technique" was not required, but that was relatively speaking.
If the "fire control technique" is too unfamiliar and even affects the process of alchemy, this obviously won't work!
As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood, this is the truth!
With this in mind, Qin Tian no longer hesitated, and directly put away the many alchemy materials on the ground, and began to practice the "fire control technique"!
He raised his hand and pinched the seal, and the dark red flames spewed out from the dragon head of the earth fire furnace, as if under some kind of control, and the fire began to grow and shrink.
Later, the flames slowly left the earth fire furnace and began to try to change their forms in mid-air, or birds, or beasts, or cicadas and insects, which were strange and unpredictable.
At the beginning, the flames were still a little unskilled under Qin Tian's control, and it was often difficult to accurately control the temperature of the flames when changing the fire.
Even when condensing and transforming, it was quite clumsy and slow. The various beasts and birds that were transformed only had their shapes, but the outlines of their bodies were extremely vague, and there was no trace of charm left!
But as time went by, Qin Tian's "fire control technique" became more and more proficient, and the situation gradually improved.
Until a month later, when the flame-shaped object had become extremely agile, Qin Tian's fire control technique finally reached a small success.
At this point, Qin Tian started to refine the elixir again and tried to refine the primary elixir "Qi Gathering Pill".
Soon, driven by his proficient "fire control technique", the originally unruly ground fire continued to burn very stably under the elixir furnace.
About a cup of tea later, Qin Tian raised his hand and waved, and more than ten jade boxes appeared on the ground again. The spiritual medicines that had been quenched and purified in them began to be put into the elixir furnace in an orderly manner.
The whole process was extremely smooth, without any delay.
Obviously, after a month of repeated deliberation and practice, Qin Tian has mastered the steps of refining "Qi Gathering Pill".
About half an hour later, as the last spiritual herb was thrown into the furnace, Qin Tian quickly closed the furnace lid with a wave of his sleeves.
Then he extended his powerful spiritual power and stared at the inside of the furnace, where a pool of green juice was formed by the melting of various spiritual herbs.
Suddenly, Qin Tian cast a series of complex seals towards the inside of the furnace, and at the same time activated the earth fire furnace under the furnace, and the fire suddenly increased.
The next moment, the pool of green juice in the furnace began to solidify slowly and gradually turned into round objects.
However, this process was extremely slow, and under the fierce high temperature of the earth fire, wisps of green smoke began to emerge from the pool of green juice, which was obviously removing the impurities produced after the fusion of the spiritual herbs.
This step is also the last step before the final pill condensation.
But Qin Tian did not dare to slack off. He still paid close attention to the inside of the pill furnace with his spiritual power, and constantly controlled the fire of the ground fire to stabilize it within a balanced range.
Time passed slowly without him noticing!
Until three days later, there was a burst of intensive explosions in the pill furnace, and then a thick green smoke rose from the top of the pill furnace!
And inside the spirit furnace, the original green juice had all turned into pills the size of longan.
It was just a pity that at the moment of the final pill condensation, due to Qin Tian's lack of experience in alchemy, he failed to slow down the fire in time, causing most of the pills to burst and turn into powder under high temperature calcination!
In this way, only seven pills were successfully condensed into pills!
But the strange thing is that at this moment, although the pill has been successfully condensed and all the processes of refining the "Qi Gathering Pill" have been completed, there is no trace of medicinal fragrance.
Seeing this, Qin Tian's face suddenly turned pale...
