Qingyang also has some opinions on the alchemy. Although he has not officially refined the alchemy, he is not inferior to some low-level alchemy apprentices in knowledge and techniques.
There are some common danfang in the Gongfa Pavilion. Last time, Qingyang bought a few basic books in the Gongfa Pavilion, which recorded a lot. He can also learn some advanced danfang by going to the danfang lecture room of the Chuangong academy occasionally, so Qingyang doesn't lack danfang.
Among the hundreds of miraculous medicines promoted by Zui Xianhu to ripen, more than 200 are the miraculous medicines for refining Juqi pill, and the remaining half are the materials for refining the Yangqi pill taken by the monks of Kaimai territory. Learning alchemy must be from easy to difficult. Qingyang is going to try to refine Yangqi pill first.
There are small alchemy rooms in the yard where Qingyang lives. It is enough for Qingyang, a beginner, but there are not many spiritual materials left in it, which won't take long. Spiritual material is not an ordinary material supplied by the sect. It needs to be purchased by disciples with spiritual stone. There is a supply in the outer courtyard hall. You can buy a lot of spiritual stone.
When everything was ready, Qingyang began the life of closed alchemy. When he adjusted his state, he first read the prescription of Yangqi pill, and then closed his eyes and went through all the steps of refining Yangqi pill in his heart. Only then did he open the furnace in front of him.
Ignite the holy material and stack it below to bake the pill oven. When the temperature of the pill oven reaches a certain level, Qingyang reaches out and takes out one of the holy drugs. First, he observes its efficacy characteristics and estimates the year's power. Then he skillfully removes the roots and branches above, cuts off the next section and puts it into the pill oven.
It's too late to observe the reaction of medicinal materials in the Dan furnace. Qingyang has taken out the second material. It's a yellow thing like earth, called Minghuang powder. It's one of the auxiliary materials for refining Yangqi pill. Although the dosage is small, it's indispensable.
Qingyang gently twists his finger on it, and some yellow powder falls on the palm of his hand. Qingyang can judge it without weighing tools. The amount of this powder is just right.
While doing these things, Qingyang always paid attention to the Dante stove in front of him. I don't know how long it took. He felt that the fire was almost the same. As soon as he raised his hand, the yellow powder fell into the Dante stove. Then he heard a loud noise, and I don't know what reaction happened in the Dante stove.
At this time, Qingyang has started the next step. He picked up a small porcelain vase from the side and opened the lid on it. A faint fragrance came to my face. This is a liquid containing a small amount of aura, called Yangyuan liquid. It is used to neutralize various attribute medicinal materials in Yangyuan pill. The dosage is not large, but it is very important for Yangyuan pill.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Qingyang judged that the reaction in the Dan furnace should be almost the same. He pointed the porcelain bottle at the Dan furnace and flicked it three times with his little finger. Three drops of light blue liquid flew up from the porcelain bottle and fell into the Dan furnace.
When the liquid was put into the furnace, the medicine that had reacted violently in the Dan furnace calmed down instantly, just like the burning fire was suddenly extinguished. Although there was no movement inside, Qingyang could guess that there must be some unknown changes going on inside.
The previous steps went smoothly, but Qingyang didn't dare to be careless at all, because there are still many such steps, and any small mistake may ruin his previous achievements.
Then Qingyang took out another medicinal material and cleaned the roots and branches on it. He felt that the medicinal power of this medicinal material was slightly greater than the requirements of the Dan prescription, which might affect the final success of the Dan. Therefore, Qingyang pinched a small part of his root. As soon as the fire in the Dan furnace arrived, he put the pinched part of the medicinal material into the Dan furnace.
It may be that the step just now was not done in place, which affected the reaction in the Dante furnace. Just after the medicinal plant was put into the Dante furnace, I suddenly heard a dull noise from the Dante furnace, and then everything fell into silence.
There was a bad feeling in Qingyang's heart. He quickly looked into the Dan stove and found that the reaction had already stopped, and all the medicinal materials that had been put into it had turned into a furnace of black ash.
Alchemy was really not such a simple thing. Although Qingyang was ready, he was still lost when he really failed. It took him a long time to adjust his mind, clean up the furnace and prepare for the second time.
However, he didn't start immediately. Instead, he went through all the steps just now, analyzed the possible problems of the last failure, summarized the experience and lessons of the last time, and considered the handling methods when he encountered the last problem again.
He took out another medicinal material, treated it with a special method, cut off a section and put it into the Dan furnace. Maybe the last failure affected Qingyang. This time, he was more cautious. He thought twice before doing each action and felt that there was no problem before he took the next step.
However, this time he did not succeed because he was more cautious than before. When more than half of all his procedures were carried out, there was another dull noise from the Dan furnace, all the medicinal materials put into the Dan furnace turned into black ash, and the second alchemy failed again.
Qingyang was not discouraged, but adjusted his mind and began his third attempt.
I don't know whether it was so difficult to contact alchemy for the first time, or whether Qingyang didn't have this talent. After seven or eight days, he tried twenty or thirty times in a row, wasting hundreds of various elixir materials. He didn't succeed even once, which made people anxious.
Continuous failure is not only a waste of medicine, but also a great test for Qingyang's own patience and perseverance, and it is also a kind of suffering for spirit and mind. Qingyang is extremely tired. The consumed Qi can be supplemented with pills, but the mental fatigue can not be recovered in a short time.
Before he started, Qingyang had mastered all the steps of alchemy and was familiar with various techniques and processes. He felt that the art of alchemy was just like this, and everything was under his own control. But when he really started, he knew that everything was not as simple as he thought, and it was not so easy. Only by doing it himself could he have the most real experience.
Among these countless failures, Qingyang certainly didn't get nothing. At least two or three of them were close to success. All the steps of alchemy were almost carried out. Only some things appeared at the final gathering of spirits, carving arrays and painting patterns, which eventually led to the failure.
Moreover, Qingyang also benefited a lot from these countless failures. He had many different experiences in refining pills and summarized countless experiences and lessons. Qingyang's pill art was also advancing by leaps and bounds unconsciously.
