Chapter 148 One pot of ten pills, two patterns of pills
The alchemy furnace was filled with mist, and a wave of heat hit his face. Gongsun Yang looked calm, and with a flick of his finger, another medicinal material poured into it.
"Black crystal, tricolor flower, colorful dew...these auxiliary ingredients have relatively mild medicinal properties. If they are put in too early, they will cause the evaporation loss of the medicine. Only when the main medicines have been refined and fused, can they be put in now to maximize their effectiveness." It will bring out every ounce of the medicine's power and at the same time neutralize the differences, making it easier to condense the pill later."
While Gongsun Yang was refining the elixir, he was explaining the breakfast recipe to Yu Changsheng. His movements were smooth and flowing, his expression was free and unaffected, and he was quite like everyone else.
"Okay, I've written it down." Yu Changsheng watched carefully and took notes. When he encountered something he didn't understand, he would ask questions. Gongsun Yang was not shy about teaching him. He was very patient and deliberately slowed down the alchemy speed, just to make it easier for him. Yu Changsheng looked at it more carefully.
Yu Changsheng must also admit that as a master, Gongsun Yang is very dedicated.
"In alchemy, the further you want to go, the more you have to pursue the ultimate in details. A truly perfect elixir must have strict requirements in every place, not just the changes in temperature that need to be strictly controlled.
There is also the age of the medicinal materials, the dosage must be no more, no less, the order and time of use, the method of use, etc., and even environmental factors must be considered, whether the temperature is suitable. "
"And whether you can refine elixirs with elixir patterns depends on the handling of these details."
Gongsun Yang taught in a warm voice, and the aroma of the medicine in the alchemy furnace became stronger and stronger. Seeing that it was almost done, Gongsun Yang changed his technique again, his eyes focused, and he shouted in a low voice:
"Pay attention to the use of empty fire!"
The original quiet fire suddenly swayed. At the right time, Gongsun Yang's heart was as calm as water. The flame disappeared in an instant and reappeared. The color was light yellow mixed with silvery white that seemed to have enlightenment, revealing a trace of emptiness.
It's empty fire! As empty as spirit, the illusion is empty and disillusioned.
The moment the empty fire appeared, the alchemy furnace suddenly boiled and rolled. In the void of heaven and earth, the spiritual energy suddenly exploded. Under the tempering of the empty fire, it poured into the alchemy furnace in an orderly manner and blended into the medicinal materials. The temperature around the alchemy furnace Suddenly high and low, the firelight flickered, and waves of invisible aggregates struck from all directions.
A drop of sweat quietly flowed down Gongsun Yang's forehead, and his face became serious. He closed his eyes and felt it for a while, and his consciousness controlled the fire like crazy. At the same time, he did not forget to explain to Yu Changsheng:
"This is empty fire. Its use is not only to refine the medicinal materials, but more importantly, to refine the favorable factors in the external environment. It is elusive but crucial. The stronger the spiritual consciousness, the clearer the feeling and use of empty fire."
"The greatest use of empty fire is when it is used to form elixirs. After the elixir is tempered by empty fire, it can not only make the elixir more solid and the effect of the medicine more concentrated, but also have the opportunity to build on the original , improve the quality of the elixir, and increase the chance of the elixir having elixir patterns!"
Yu Changsheng listened quietly, his consciousness condensed into a ball, and he felt it in detail. For a moment, he suddenly felt thoughtful and had a deeper understanding of the empty fire. If he used it, he could become more comfortable.
"Elixir is complete!"
Gongsun Yang's eyes widened sharply, and he slapped the alchemy furnace hard with his hand. There was a muffled sound, and when the flame gradually weakened, light overflowed, and several pills jumped out of the alchemy furnace under the guidance of his spiritual consciousness, and rushed towards a Among the empty fire, wisps of faint black smoke floated out.
The empty fire dispersed, and ten green elixirs that were round like dragon eyes came into view. The outside was bright and surrounded by wisps of elixir energy. It was as real as an illusion. There was no trace of elixir fragrance, because all the medicinal effects were condensed on it. Not a single bit of loss.
What Yu Changsheng admired the most was that each of the ten pills had two faint lines surrounding them, like a swimming dragon, making it even more mysterious and extraordinary.
A furnace of ten pills, each one is of the quality of two pill patterns! It is enough to see Gongsun Yang's skill in alchemy.
Taking out a jade bottle, Gongsun Yang carefully put the elixir in, then handed it to Yu Changsheng, wiping the sweat from his forehead and looking slightly tired.
Obviously refining this furnace of elixir was not very easy for him. It mainly required him to refine it while patiently and meticulously dismantling the details one by one for Yu Changsheng, which greatly lengthened the elixir refining time. The consumption of the mind is also increasing day by day.
Without strong cultivation as support, this would be very torturous.
What's more, this was his first time refining the beast-accumulating pill, so his technique was inevitably a bit unfamiliar.
Yu Changsheng took the Yun Beast Pill, feeling a little moved in his heart, and bowed down to Gongsun Yang.
Gongsun Yang endured the fatigue in his mind and pretended to be calm and relaxed and said:
"This is empty fire. I believe you can feel it more deeply."
"This furnace of elixirs can all be of the quality of the second elixir pattern. The final step of tempering the elixirs with empty fire is crucial. It is the key to further improving the quality of the elixirs."
"Of course, it is also the most difficult step. It consumes a lot of mental energy. After all, empty fire is also fire, and naturally it also has the nature of violent flames.
When the elixir is completed, it is not completely stable, and there is no protection. It enters the air-fire tempering directly. If there is a fluctuation, it is likely to cause the elixir to be directly destroyed, and the previous work will become a waste elixir. The quality will be reduced at best, and it will be reduced at worst. Fly ash. "
"So you have to be careful and careful again and again. Only by practicing frequently can you master it well."
Despite the ease with which Gongsun Yang did it just now, he was actually the only one who understood how difficult it was. After refining the elixir, he almost collapsed.
Yu Changsheng nodded, he really felt it. In the last scene, Gongsun Yang directly sent the elixir into the empty fire, which even shocked him.
"What I have refined this time is only the small beast-preserving pill in the beast-preserving pill, which is used for daily warming and raising of beasts. As for the beast-preserving pill used to break the mirror, I will wait until you can fully master the empty fire. After that, try refining it, it won’t be difficult for you.”
Gongsun Yang slowly exhaled, calmly swallowed a recovery pill and said.
"Okay, thank you Master."
According to the recipe for Yun Beast Dan, there are actually two types of Yun Beast Dan. One is the Yun Beast Little Dan, which is used for daily warming and upgrading of beast control, and the Yun Beast Great Dan, which is specially used to break through the promotion levels. Most of the medicinal materials for refining are the same, but some are different, and the refining difficulty is also different.
What Gongsun Yang demonstrated this time was the Yun Beast Little Pill. He was also worried that the Yun Beast Great Pill would be too difficult for Yu Changsheng to refine, so he started with the simple one first.
After all, the main purpose of this alchemy is to teach, from simple to difficult, step by step.
"If you have nothing to do, go back first, think about Kong Huo carefully, and tell me what you don't understand."
