Chapter 10 Creating a Gold-based Alchemy Technique
That night, Qin Ran was in the study. There was a soft light inside the room, and it was pitch black outside.
The desk was full of books, each of which was open. The soft evening breeze blew in from the window, and the pages of the books moved lightly.
He leaned over the desk to write and draw. He drew the route of the technique, and wrote... the gold-based alchemy technique.
What is the essence of alchemy? Ten thousand alchemists would give ten thousand answers. But for Qin Ran, its essence is to organically combine the part of the medicinal materials that has medicinal effects to achieve the desired effect.
To a certain extent, as long as there is a pill formula and medicinal materials, you only need to extract the part of the medicinal materials that has medicinal effects, and then refine the pill according to the amount required by the pill formula.
So what is the key point? The key point is how to extract the part with medicinal effects.
And the quality of a pill is judged by this. The purer the part with medicinal effects, the higher the quality of the pill.
Similarly, the more impurities, or medicinal residues, are left, the worse the quality of the pill will be. When the amount of medicinal residues reaches a certain level, the pill will have no effect and will be called a waste pill.
Therefore, the most basic ability of an alchemist is the ability to purify medicinal materials.
Fire spiritual root cultivators practice fire attribute exercises and use fire to burn medicinal materials to burn the medicinal residues (impurities) in the medicinal materials, which is the fire refining method; water spiritual root cultivators practice water attribute exercises and use water to wash and soak to extract the essence of medicinal power, which is the water refining method.
Qin Ran has a water spiritual root and uses the latter purification method, the water refining method.
As for whether there are other spiritual roots in this world who have created other refining methods, such as thunder refining, wind refining, earth refining, etc., it can only be said that there may be. I dare not say that there is absolutely no, after all, this world is too big.
But the small place where Qin Ran is located has never heard of it.
It’s still the same reason. Everyone knows that the nanny is very important, but who doesn’t want to be the handsome warrior in front? It can fight and resist.
Since you have a gold spiritual root, why don't you practice sword?
I'm afraid only Li Shiyin, a silly girl, would want to learn alchemy with a top-level gold spiritual root.
The apprentice is silly, there is no way, receiving such an apprentice, but the master has to find a way to remedy it.
Isn't it that there is no gold refining method? Just create one.
The fire refining method uses fire to burn impurities, and the water refining method uses water to extract essence. So how should the gold refining method be done?
Perhaps the gold refining method can take a compromise method, grind the metal into water shape, and then refine it with the fire refining method to remove impurities.
Qin Ran thought and wrote, and felt that this method was feasible.
If Li Shiyin practiced a gold-attributed control method, she could control the metal powder with the control method, use the metal powder to wear away the impurities, and obtain the essence of medicinal power...
Now that the idea and framework are in place, it is necessary to design a practice route map.
The gold-attributed method does not have the effect of refining worn medicinal materials. To make it have such an effect, you can follow the route map of the fire-refining method.
In other words, you can practice two methods, first make the spiritual energy of heaven and earth operate according to the gold-attributed method, turn the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into your own gold-attributed mana, and then operate this gold-attributed mana according to the fire-attributed method, you can get gold-attributed mana with fire attributes.
But this will cause many problems. The first problem to be faced is that practicing two methods requires two kinds of spiritual roots, and Li Shiyin only has gold spiritual roots; the second thing to pay attention to is the problem of practice efficiency and conflict between methods.
Writing and drawing for most of the night, these problems are still not completely solved, even spiritual roots are still a small problem, and the conflict between methods is a big problem that cannot be solved. In the end, Qin Ran only got a preliminary idea.
He put away the pen. On the paper was a picture of controlling the golden sand. The methods on the table were mostly related to the sword. He raised his head and looked out the window. It was very dark at this time, and there were birds singing and beasts roaring in the distant forest.
He narrowed his eyes and made other plans. Even if she was his disciple, Li Shiyin could learn swordsmanship. Maybe it would be better than Jianfeng, because there were too many people in Jianfeng and the resources could not be allocated.
However, Qin Ran was still hesitant, mainly because it was worth it. After all, he had only accepted this disciple for two days.
In the next two days, Qin Ran did not ask Li Shiyin to carry medicinal materials, but gave her a basic sword technique and let her practice it by herself. Because he saw that this was a poor student who would fall asleep as soon as she read.
As expected, this was indeed a fool. She would fall asleep in three minutes if she was asked to read books and newspapers. She would not even eat when she was interested in practicing swordsmanship. She only practiced a basic sword technique for two days and she was already good at it.
If it were not for the short time and the lack of condensed cyclones, Qin Ran felt that she could cultivate sword energy in two days.
This morning, when Qin Ran was having breakfast, he looked up and saw Li Shiyin throwing sugar beans into her mouth, looking very contented. He was a little speechless. This girl cried and shouted that she wanted to come to make pills, but she practiced swords every day here and was so happy.
Well, so it’s still the same question, why does he think this is a cold goddess?
“I’m going to the main peak today. If you need anything, write it down on a piece of paper and I’ll bring it to you.” He said aloud, “By the way, can you make clothes?”
Li Shiyin stirred the glass with a spoon and said shyly, “Daddy asked me to learn it.”
This means she can’t do it. Qin Ran said expressionlessly, “Write down the size and I’ll find someone to make it for you.”
"Okay!" Li Shiyin agreed very readily, and then asked, "Master, can I go with you?"
"You are too slow, and it will take too much time to go back and forth." Qin Ran replied.
"You still have to walk?" Li Shiyin asked, "I can keep up."
Qin Ran's eyebrows twitched slightly. Did his secret of being afraid of heights get exposed? But after all, he was a master, and he remained calm and replied in a deep voice: "I will use the divine walking step, and the speed will be very fast."
"Oh!" Li Shiyin nodded disappointedly.
"When you condense the cyclone, you can practice magic. When you practice a flying magic or a divine walking magic, you can travel freely between the main peak and the Dan peak." Qin Ran said.
Li Shiyin was unhappy and lay on the table to feed herself sugar beans.
"You are alone at home today, so I will assign you a task." Seeing her look, Qin Ran said aloud.
"What?" Li Shiyin was not very interested.
After breakfast, Qin Ran took her out and walked along the stream to the middle of the lawn in front of the door. He pointed to the surroundings and said to Li Shiyin: "I want to build an artificial lake here. I could use magic, but in order to train you, you will dig this lake."
"Build an artificial lake here?" Li Shiyin was shocked. Moreover, did she hear it wrong? She dug it alone! ! ?
"I told you that cultivation is a process of becoming stronger. Why is the foundation-building period called foundation-building? It is a stage of laying the foundation. In the foundation-building period, the more mana is accumulated and the purer it is, the better the golden elixir condensed; and the stronger the physique, the faster the speed of condensing mana, the purer the mana extracted, the easier it is to break through the realm barrier, and it will also be of great benefit to future cultivation." Qin Ran said expressionlessly, he absolutely had no intention of revenge,
"So this lake is dug by you. Of course, you can use magic and mana blessing, but you cannot use magic tools or elixirs."
The master seemed serious...
"Master?" Li Shiyin said pitifully.
It's only been a few days and you're already acting cute? ! Evil spirits must not grow!
Qin Ran was as hard as a stone. He ignored Li Shiyin who was pretending to be pitiful. He raised his hand and pointed to the storage room, saying coldly: "The tools are in the storage room. Start now!"
After saying that, he secretly used the magic step and quickly disappeared into the forest path, not giving himself a chance to regret.
Li Shiyin sighed to the sky and accepted her fate.
