Chapter 148: One Furnace, Ten Pills, Two Patterns on Each Pill
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 can bring out every ounce of medicinal power and neutralize the differences at the same time, making it easier to condense pills 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 conscientious.
"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 heat 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, whether the temperature is suitable, must be considered. "
"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 fragrance 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 more concentrated, but also give 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 impressed Yu Changsheng the most was that each of the ten elixirs 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 refining 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, 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 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 yet completely stable, nor does it have any protection. It enters the air-fire tempering process directly. If there is a fluctuation, the elixir is likely to be directly destroyed, and the previous work becomes a waste elixir. The quality may be reduced at best, or it may be reduced to... Fly ash. "
“So you must 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, in fact, only he understood how difficult it was. After refining the elixir, he almost collapsed.
Yu Changsheng nodded. He did feel it. In the last scene, Gongsun Yang directly sent the pill into the empty fire, which even scared him.
"This time, I refined only the small beast pill in the beast pill, which is used for daily beast control and warming and improving. As for the big beast pill used for the broken mirror, wait until you have completely mastered the empty fire, then try to refine it. It won't be difficult for you."
Gongsun Yang slowly exhaled, swallowed a recovery pill calmly and said.
"Okay, thank you Master."
According to the recipe of the beast pill, there are actually two types of beast pills. One is the small beast pill used for daily warming and improving beast control, and the big beast pill is specially used for breakthrough and promotion. Most of the refining materials of the two are the same, with a small part of difference, and the difficulty of refining is also different.
This time, Gongsun Yang demonstrated the refining of the small beast pill, and was also worried that the big beast pill was too difficult for Yu Changsheng to refine, so he started with the simple one.
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 the empty fire, and tell me if you don't understand."
