Chapter 219 Death Pill
The elixir of immortality is a medicine that prolongs life, so the first elixir formula Qin Ran constructed was full of tonics, such as hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, thousand-year-old ginseng, and ten-thousand-year-old deer antler.
According to his idea, the medicinal power of these spiritual medicines should be extracted, combined according to pharmacology, and the medicinal power should be superimposed, so as to break through the scope of tonics and achieve the purpose of increasing life.
So, he prepared the medicinal materials and went straight to the quenching room, but not the earth fire room. Because the elixir of immortality is of great importance, he planned to use the water refining method he is best at, rather than the fire refining method.
In the quenching room, he took out the Jiuzhou Ding and placed it in the center of the quenching room.
Walking to the Jiuzhou Ding, Qin Ran took out all the elixir of immortality he deduced and threw them all into the Jiuzhou Ding; then he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the Jiuzhou Ding, closed his eyes, and the three of magic power, elixir water, and soul power came out together.
He activated the Jiuzhou Ding with his magic power to help extract the essence of the medicinal power and increase the success rate of the pill. He separated the materials with the pill water, and each kind of medicinal material was wrapped in the pill water separately, so that they could not communicate with each other. He controlled these steps with the power of the Yuanshen, and at the same time carried out the first step of the water method of alchemy, which was to extract the medicinal power.
The first step of the fire method of alchemy is to refine the medicinal materials with the pill fire (if there is no pill fire, the ground fire can be used), burn all the impurities, and leave only the essence of the medicinal power; while the water method of alchemy is to use the pill water to extract the essence of the medicinal power from the medicinal materials, leaving only the impurities.
The two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and their alchemy steps are very different due to different methods.
Qin Ran used the water method to refine the pill, but his method was extremely rough. This is due to his powerful Yuanshen power and sufficiently skilled alchemy ability. He can refine all the medicinal materials at once.
Look at Long Qiqi, like her, carefully adding one medicinal material at a time, and the amount and timing of adding need to be carefully considered. That is the normal alchemist's alchemy steps.
Because if you are not careful enough, there may be a big problem in the second step of alchemy.
The second step of alchemy is to fuse the pills to form a rough pill. The fire refining method is to fuse the pure medicinal essence refined with the pharmacological structure of the refined pill; while the medicinal essence of the water refining method is in the pill water, which is to combine the various parts of the pill water, also according to the pharmacological structure.
The operation of fusing the medicinal essence is extremely delicate. Any small difference may destroy the entire pill. If the medicinal materials are added one by one, then this step will be scattered in each step of the first step, and there will be opportunities for adjustment and stop loss.
And the rough refining method like Qin Ran has much less room for error... If the power of the soul is weak, it will definitely fail.
After extracting all the pharmacological essence, Qin Ran hurriedly increased the input of the soul power to start melting the pill.
For beginners like Long Qiqi, perhaps extracting the medicinal power will be the most difficult step in the entire alchemy process; but for veterans like Qin Ran, fusing the pill is the most critical step.
The ability to extract medicinal power, with more practice, will soon reach a peak; but it is not the same for fusion pills. Every time you refine pills, it will be a new experience because the extraction efficiency of medicinal materials is different.
Qin Ran's soul power is strong enough. After many adjustments, he got three rough embryos of "Eternal Life Pills".
The rough embryo of the fire refining method is the pharmacological combination of the essence of medicinal power, so at this time, you only need to increase the fire to bake, and the pill can be instantly produced; and the rough embryo of the water refining method is a ball of medicinal power essence wrapped in the pill water. At this time, you need to extract the pill water before you can get the pill.
Have you discovered? Relatively speaking, the fire refining method is more difficult at the beginning, and the water refining method is more difficult at the end.
The fire refining method is easy to burn the medicinal materials when refining, and the water refining method is easy to damage the rough embryo of the pill when extracting.
In the process of extracting the pill water, even if Qin Ran's soul power is strong enough and his control over his power is fine enough, he still has to be cautious. It takes the most time.
Finally, three blue-black pills appeared in the Jiuzhou Ding.
Qin Ran looked at the three pills spinning and couldn't help being excited... That kind of excitement was not because of the excitement of refining the elixir of immortality, but every time he refined a new pill, he couldn't help being excited, as if welcoming a new life.
He took two deep breaths, suppressed his excited heart, and took the pill in his right hand; he looked at the pills in his palm, picked up one with his left hand, and stuffed it into his mouth, wanting to try the effect of this "elixir of immortality".
But he stopped before the pill touched his lips.
It was too dangerous and too unsafe to test the pill on himself, even though it was an "elixir of immortality" made with tonic.
At this moment, Qin Ran once again thought about cultivating "little white mice". But he didn't know how to tame beasts after all, and it was too difficult to cultivate little white mice suitable for cultivating immortals.
He thought about it, put away the pills, and turned to walk out of the research building.
It was already late at night, and the Danfeng was pitch dark.
Qin Ran strolled around Danfeng and finally stopped by Xijian Lake. He looked into the lake, picked up a fish, pinched its mouth open, and stuffed a "longevity pill" into it.
"You are lucky to have such a treasure." He shook his head.
As he said that, he marked the fish to record how long it lived and whether it would exceed its life limit.
After doing all this, it was already late at night. Qin Ran felt tired after refining the pill and went straight back to his room to sleep.
The next day, he was still sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by Zhuifeng's roar: "Dad, Dad! There are bad guys! Bad guys..."
Qin Ran got up with hazy eyes and an angry mood, and opened the door angrily to the corridor.
Under the corridor, on the lawn, Zhui Feng ran over and was about to jump onto the corridor, but he stopped when he saw Qin Ran coming out. He stood on three legs, raised one paw, pointed to the Xijian Lake, and said: "Dad, over there, fish!"
Xijian Lake, fish?
Qin Ran woke up instantly, realized something, and hurriedly used his body skills to come to the Xijian Lake.
Wow!
What a hell scroll! !
The original Xijian Lake had clear water, clouds and mist on the lake surface, fish and shrimp in the lake, various aquatic animals bought by the Danfeng people, lotus and water plants, and the lakeside was also green, with grass, flowers and trees. It was the Xijian Lake scenery that the Danfeng people had managed for more than half a year;
But now the Xijian Lake has dark water, and the lake surface is emitting green mist. All the creatures in the lake are dead and floating on the lake surface. The fish are turning their white bellies. The trees on the shore were planted by Qin Ran one by one, and now they are a little withered.
Qin Ran looked at this tragic human tragedy and fell into deep thought...
Could it be that he was infected by Long Qiqi? !
"Dad, there are bad guys, there are bad guys!" Zhuifeng chased over and ran around the lakeside, looking for the culprit who invaded Danfeng.
Qin Ran lit up a little lake water and carefully tested it. Sure enough, it was the elixir he fed yesterday.
He looked up at the sky in silence.
Long Qiqi's poison pill was made according to her specific conditions. It was poisonous to others, but she could eat it. But the "elixir of immortality" made by Qin Ran...
Qin Ran now had to suspect that he had influenced Long Qiqi.
While Zhuifeng ran away, Qin Ran hurriedly collected the lake water with Jiuzhou Ding, and then took out another pill and pondered.
"Don't! Master! Don't!" Suddenly, a baby's crisp voice came. Qin Ran looked over and saw that it was the Devouring Demon Willow shaking its branches and leaves to beg for mercy.
It seemed that this tree knew everything. Qin Ran narrowed his eyes. For the sake of his reputation as the boss of Danfeng, did he need to kill people to silence them?
In the end, he didn't kill people to silence them.
Qin Ran returned to the research building and refined a few more bottles of this pill.
This kind of poison made from tonics and spiritual medicines cannot be seen from the surface. It is simply the immortal version of the "colorless and tasteless, blood-killing" poison!
…Qin Ran treasured the pill and named it “Death Pill”.
