Chapter 154 Collecting Herbs Into the Furnace
Dongfang Sheng's alchemy and medicine blending began in March. /
Thanks to the help of the wood pill, Sun Hao gained the natural intimacy between the real qi of wood and the spiritual qi of the grass. The speed of practice was so fast that he surpassed Dongfang Sheng's eight streets. In three days, the medicine Sun Hao prepared basically reached the level of The standard required for refining Qi Dao Pill.
In fact, since ancient times, when monks made alchemy, they first focused on the fire spirit root. However, the real alchemy masters are often monks with dual attributes of fire and wood. The reason is very simple. Natural advantages.
But at this time, Sun Hao did not start the next step of refining, but continued to practice his method of mixing medicine.
In another two days, Sun Hao's proficiency in dispensing medicine has greatly improved, temporarily reaching a bottleneck. That's when I started to organize my thoughts. Start the next step of refining Qi Dao Pill.
In five days, Sun Hao realized the familiar spirit of concocting medicine. If this news is sent back to the Alchemy Hall of the Cyanwood School, the alchemists in the alchemy hall will be stunned. Alchemy genius. All of a sudden, a five-day medicine dispenser will come out, and it won't scare a bunch of people to death.
Of course, if they knew about the spiritual herbs that Sun Hao had spent in five days, they would scold the prodigal again. These five days, if not counting Mu Dan's recovery ability, just talking about the thousands of honeysuckle that Sun Hao wasted in a few breaths, probably thousands of plants. Since the history of Cyanwood Sect, no monk has ever wasted so much in order to practice mixing medicine.
Sun Hao's five-day dispensing of medicine is actually equivalent to the accumulation of countless spiritual herbs. Of course, because of Mu Dan's relationship, so far, Sun Hao has not wasted a single spiritual herb.
Dispensing met the requirements.
Sun Hao started the second step of alchemy, collecting herbs.
Collecting medicine, in alchemy, many alchemists also call it medicine.
There is a cloud in the alchemy book, "When the medicine is blended, the scene of medicine production will arrive. It is like the light passing through the curtain, and the fireball is flying. This is the time when the medicine is collected and returned to the furnace. It is the time to kill it with the gods, so that it does not go out; capture it with the air, so that it returns. In the furnace". Zai is to detect its moving place with a god, not to be dizzy or scattered, to dominate it, and the dynamic energy rotates and depends on each other; to take medicine is to use true energy to take medicine in the alchemy furnace, and to collect it with real fire...
Different prescriptions, the order in which they are used, and the environment in which they are used are different.
For example, Sun Hao's refining Daoqi Pill, the order of using the medicine is also the process of collecting the medicine. It should be "warm the stove with a fire, heat it slightly, and pick the rootless water; use the fire to store the water, the water will boil, and pick the ebony." Charcoal is put into the furnace; the carbon powder is melted into water, opened three times, and taken into the army; the pills are turned into pulp, and two thousand-year-old honeysuckle are first picked, until the furnace is sealed..."
Collecting herbs is also one of the important basic skills of an alchemist. It is also one of the difficulties to test an alchemist. The process of collecting herbs has many difficulties, and the most difficult part lies in the word "fire".
The heat refers to the firepower and time used in the process of collecting herbs, according to the age, tenderness, hardness, thickness, size and size of the alchemy materials and the production requirements of the panacea. Heat is the key link in alchemy. There are good spiritual materials and good preparations. If the heat is not enough, the properties of the medicine cannot be refined, and the elixir cannot be formed; What's more, it's poison pill.
According to the ancient alchemy scriptures, "Mercury, lead and red stoves can be calmed and eliminated, but the heat is the most difficult to adjust."
Many apprentices of alchemy fell at the level of the fire. The ancient monk wrote a poem "Gift to Du Lushi under the Temple of Heaven". Apprentices need to practice for three or two years before the word "huo" catches the eye.
Dongfang Sheng was very talented in alchemy back then, and his alchemy experience was recorded. He also practiced for more than two years in the level of collecting medicine and heating. As for Yukunlong, he practiced in the level of heating for three and a half years. As for Ma Yiming, Sun Hao In his notes on the basic alchemy technique, it was found that this unlucky disciple had completely mastered the heat. It took five years.
When Sun Hao was at home in the secular world, he used to learn how to cook medicine with his mother Wu Yuhe for five years. This also requires mastering the heat. Although the fire in this world is very different from the fire used by monks to make alchemy, the reason is the same. If Sun Hao masters the heat, it will take three years. , then becoming a second-level alchemist in two years is a joke at all.
For an alchemist, the key to mastering the fire is to control the real fire, the intensity of the real fire, the burning time and so on. Because qi refining monks don't have real fire, they can only use fire-type real qi to stimulate flames instead of real fire, which is undoubtedly much more difficult. Ordinary qi refining monks only have divine sense, which cannot feel the intensity of the flame outside the body, which undoubtedly makes it much more difficult to control the fire.
Sun Haoxiang is an ordinary qi refiner, and he still has a big advantage in learning alchemy.
According to the records in "Basic Alchemy", Sun Hao started to heat up the stove. At this time, Sun Hao discovered that the true energy of "Three-fold Method of Yanlong" really had an advantage in alchemy. Yanlong's three stacks of qi, one stack is more powerful, other qi refiners, when heating the furnace, tend to make the mistake of overheating, because it is easy to increase the intensity of the flame stimulated by the true qi, but it is really difficult to control the intensity, but Sun Hao can't, the flame heater fueled by a stack of Yanlong Qi is just right.
A stack of Yanlong gas goes away, and the stove is ready!
For other monks, for the step of heating the stove, it will take three to five days to get familiar with it.
After finishing the furnace, Sun Hao didn't think much, and went directly to the second step of collecting medicine for the Qi Dao Pill, accumulating water. It is also to boil the rootless water to the point that it will not open.
Yanlong Erfold Qi increases the firepower and starts to boil water. The reason why this process is called Yunshui instead of boiling water is because of the word Yun, Yun, Accumulation, Hanye, Zangye, Gathering, Huohou The certainty is that it is not lukewarm, and the size of the Permian Dragon Qi is just right. Sun Hao urged the Permian Dragon Qi to quickly complete the second step of accumulating water.
Sun Hao did not encounter any difficulties after walking two steps in a row to collect herbs.
On the one hand, it is naturally because the flames activated by the three stacks of Yanlong qi happen to be automatically graded by true qi, and the effect is extraordinary. The two words have already penetrated into the bone marrow, and with the addition of spiritual consciousness, one can feel the situation in the alchemy furnace with spiritual consciousness, so naturally these two steps are not going smoothly.
With a move of consciousness, the ebony charcoal was thrown into the alchemy furnace under the stimulation of true energy.
At this time, Sun Hao's "A Thousand Heads and Ten Thousand Thoughts Cutting off the Refinement of Gods and Imperial Objects" practiced in alchemy showed a magical effect. Generally, in the process of collecting medicine, there are often times when alchemists lose sight of others. That is, When gathering herbs, the flames activated by true qi were very unstable, either too fierce or simply extinguished. At this time, it was difficult to guarantee the fire.
This one requires other qi refining monks to practice for months or even years to master the fire. Back then, Ma Yiming practiced here for more than a year. With Sun Hao, he completed it naturally. If anyone saw it, he would be so angry that he would vomit three liters of blood.
Sun Hao is different, Sun Hao has two senses of consciousness, he controls the heat in the furnace while using medicine, it is natural and not chaotic, it is logical.
Put the toner into the water. At this time, increase the firepower and turn on the boiling water.
Sun Hao activated Yanlong's true qi, stacked it three times, turned on the firepower fully, and turned the ebony toner in the alchemy furnace.
It's not difficult at all.
At this moment, Sun Hao thought with some doubts that the process of collecting herbs, he had read three books on alchemy experience, and they all said it was quite difficult, but why is it not difficult at all for him?
Could it be that my mastery of the heat is because I feel good about myself, but I haven't actually met the requirements?
Puzzled for a while, Sun Hao felt that it might be difficult to know when he was in the middle of the fire, and it was very possible that his grasp of the fire was not as good as he imagined. However, at this point, Sun Hao didn't have time to hesitate, and his heart was swayed. Step by step, as long as you don't find any problems, go forward boldly, and if there are problems, look back.
The toner is opened three points, and the marching pill is put in.
Xingjun Pills are secular pills, which are refined from common common medicines. If their medicinal effects and properties are to be preserved in the alchemy furnace, the heat is very important. If the fire is weak, the Xingjun Pill is difficult to dissolve, and if the fire is strong, the efficacy of the medicine will be destroyed. At this time, Sun Hao discovered that simply using the second stack of Yanlong Qi to activate the flame, the flame strength is slightly insufficient, but the third stack of Yanlong The flame driven by Qi is too strong.
Sun Hao encountered difficulties for the first time after entering herb collection.
Because of lack of preparation, Sun Hao activated the Yanlong Trifold Qi, and in the end directly destroyed the Xingjun Pill in an instant.
Sun Hao's first attempt at collecting herbs failed. The medicine collection failed, and the alchemy materials invested earlier were wasted. This is also an inevitable consumption of alchemists. Sun Hao had already prepared for it.
Sitting in front of the alchemy furnace, Sun Hao thought carefully about the reasons for his failure this time, and examined himself against the process.
I found that it was precisely because I was too dependent on the strength of the flames driven by the Yanlong Trifold Qi that such a mistake occurred. Practice has proved that although the Yanlong Trifold Qi has three levels of true energy strength, it can roughly adjust the strength of the true Qi. Flame, however, this kind of flame is not omnipotent, and I still need to fine-tune the intensity of these three flames according to my needs.
Judging from this failure, Sun Hao should finally use the second stack of Yanlong's true energy to stimulate the flames, but the intensity and input speed of the second stack of Yanlong's true energy must be increased to make the flames more intense.
After summarizing, Sun Hao began to try to collect herbs for the second time.
This time, the intensity of the flames stimulated by Yanlong's Erdie Zhenqi was not enough, the Xingjun pills were not well transformed, and it failed.
Come again, fail, come again, fail...
Alchemy really doesn't happen in a day, no matter how good your conditions are and how talented you are, without unremitting efforts, it is difficult to achieve success.
In this way, although most alchemy apprentices have to learn quickly, Sun Hao finally experienced the boring and helpless feeling of repeated practice for alchemy apprentices.
Compared with other monks, Sun Hao, who has spiritual consciousness, three layers of true energy of Yanlong, and worldly experience, still has a unique advantage in mastering the fire. In just five days, Sun Hao fine-tuned the second layer of energy of Yanlong. After the difficulty was overcome, the Xingjun Pills basically met the medicinal effect requirements for refining Daoqi Pill.
It stands to reason that Sun Hao can go down, but Sun Hao, who is accustomed to excellence, refuses to give up, and continues to practice fine-tuning, and he is bound to achieve the best.
Moreover, unintentionally, after an attempt, Sun Hao made a major discovery. In the depths of his mind, he actually hid a great killer for alchemy. <
