Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 10: Alchemy

Views:

The recipe of Zhao Zhengyuan records a kind of elixir called Chuyuan Dan, which can greatly help improve the cultivation of cultivators in the Qi training stage.

Of course, this refers to the effect of the original recipe.

Now one of the main ingredients, the 'Yunsheng Fruit', has been replaced by the more common 'Shixiang Fruit'. Even if the pill can be refined, it is hard to say whether it will still have the original efficacy.

First, I simply processed the raw materials and divided them into ten portions according to the quantities on the recipe.

Then pick up the simple alchemy furnace.

It is called an alchemy furnace, but in fact it is just an iron pot with a unique shape, and it is not a magical tool, and it has no effect on the success rate of alchemy.

Using such an instrument, not only can one refine only the lowest-end elixirs, but the success rate is also said to be quite impressive.

However, a truly graded alchemy furnace is a high-end product. Not to mention whether he could buy it, even if it was really for sale, the price was too high for him to afford.

With only ten portions of alchemy materials, he had consumed nearly half of the spirit stones that he had risked his life to obtain.

Place the alchemy furnace on flat ground, then put the special fuel for alchemy into it and light it.

More advanced elixirs require the alchemist's Samadhi Fire, or Earth Fire and any other innate flames.

If this pill recipe had not been modified, due to the characteristics of the Yunsheng Fruit, it could not be refined with ordinary fuel. However, after it was changed to the Ten Fragrance Fruit, this problem no longer existed.

With the help of the hand-cranked fan, the fuel burned more and more vigorously, and soon turned red.

Chen Lin took a deep breath, lit the half stick of meditation incense that he had saved from refining the Soul-Binding Talisman, and began to put the materials into the alchemy furnace in order.

It stands to reason that a beginner like him should first refine all the materials into semi-finished products one by one, and then fuse them at the end.

Brutal methods like this are only used by senior alchemists when they are refining elixirs that they are very familiar with.

But his situation is different. All he wants is a reasonable refining method.

The alchemy furnace was slowly moved and rotated.

The flame also fluctuates depending on the speed of the fan's rotation.

After nearly half an hour and several additions of fuel, the ingredients in the pot began to melt and slowly turned into a paste.

Chen Lin didn't know whether this was correct or not. Anyway, it was similar to what was recorded in the recipe, so he started to take the next step - adding the main ingredient, the Ten Fragrance Fruit.

"Bang!"

As soon as the Ten-Spice Fruit was thrown in, it was like throwing an open flame into dynamite. It exploded with a bang, shaking the entire iron pot away, and the explosive paste inside burst everywhere.

Chen Lin let out a strange cry and retreated a long distance, hurriedly wiping off the medicine residue on his face.

Without caring about the blisters on his face, he quickly put out the fire, then walked to the table and checked the remaining ingredients.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that all the materials were intact.

"I didn't expect alchemy to be so dangerous. No wonder there are so few alchemists."

Muttering something, Chen Lin began to clean up the mess and then set up the alchemy furnace again.

Continue to make the elixir.

Other beginners might delve into the cause of the problem at this time, but he only wants to brush the number of times quickly.

But he learned his lesson this time. He put on several more layers of clothes and wrapped his head and hands tightly to prevent getting burned again.

The steps are still the same.

When it was time to throw in the Ten Fragrance Fruit again, it exploded with a bang.

Chen Lin, who had been well prepared, was not injured this time. After a simple treatment, he started the third refining.

Time passes by little by little.

It's already dark outside.

Finally, it came to the tenth refining.

Because he didn't need to use too much mana, Chen Lin didn't feel very tired except for the miserable moment when the explosion occurred.

Immortal cultivators, even the lowest level ones, have physical and mental strengths that are not comparable to those of ordinary people.

Looking at the last ingredient left on the table, Chen Lin took a deep breath and walked to the iron pot.

After several times of refining, he has become proficient in it.

But refining elixirs is not like making talismans. No matter how skilled you are, you have to get the temperature just right.

After half an hour, the auxiliary materials began to melt.

Chen Lin picked up the Ten-Spice Fruit and shook the fan vigorously to increase the flame temperature.

The entire nine refining processes were stuck at this stage. To be honest, Chen Lin felt a little nervous.

Although he had confirmed his natural abilities through numerous experiments, this was the first time he used them in alchemy.

After waiting for a while, the medicinal juice in the pot began to boil.

While Chen Lin was taking precautions, he quickly threw the Ten Fragrance Fruit in.

"Bang!"

There was a loud bang.

The previous scene appeared again, and the medicinal juice in the pot exploded instantly.

Just when Chen Lin's face changed drastically and he thought that his innate ability had lost effectiveness, a familiar energy fluctuation suddenly appeared.

An invisible giant hand gently rolled up and gathered all the splashing medicine juice into one place, and then returned it to the iron pot.

Then, the medicine juice began to solidify at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally formed ten milky white, quail egg-sized pills.

Hahaha!

Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

He quickly took out the pill, extinguished the flame, and began to check it impatiently.

There are ten pills, each of which exudes a refreshing medicinal fragrance, is round and flawless, and it is obvious at first glance that they are not ordinary objects.

After looking at it with joy for a while, Chen Lin took out a porcelain bottle and carefully put the pill into it.

The innate ability is as overbearing as ever. Although it can only succeed once in ten times, as long as it succeeds it is a perfect result. Theoretically, this pill recipe can produce up to ten pills per furnace, so I will refine ten pills for you.

Even a master of alchemy would probably not be able to achieve this success rate.

Of course, it is impossible for a master alchemist to succeed in only one out of ten furnaces.

After cleaning up the mess, Chen Lin hurriedly left the room.

He came back after a while, holding a cage in his hand, with a little white rabbit in it.

Although the pill was made according to the recipe given by Zhao Zhengyuan, he knew nothing about alchemy and could not tell whether the pill was real or poisonous, so he needed to test it.

He took out a Chu Yuan Dan and stuffed it into the little white rabbit's mouth, then observed quietly.

Soon, the rabbit started to become manic and kept ramming into the cage.

In addition, the rabbit's body began to swell, growing bigger and bigger like a balloon that had been deflated, and it looked like it might burst at any time.

Seeing this scene, Chen Lin's face turned a little ugly.

However, as time went by, the expected scene did not occur. The rabbit's body began to slowly return to its original state. It was no longer manic, and its fur became much shinier.

Chen Lin thought about it and understood something.

The situation just now was probably not caused by any problem with the elixir, but rather the rabbit being unable to withstand the essential energy in the elixir. After all, it was just an ordinary rabbit, not a monster.

With this thought in mind, Chen Lin's expression relaxed and he continued to observe the changes in the rabbit.

I waited until the next morning and was relieved when I saw that the rabbit was not dead but was even more energetic.

I couldn't wait to hang a sign outside the door saying "I'm in seclusion, please don't disturb" and sat on the cushion, assuming a meditation posture, and began to calm my mind.

Half an hour later, Chen Lin suddenly opened his eyes, took out a small bottle of Chu Yuan Dan from his arms, poured out the pill, and swallowed it in one gulp.

As soon as the pill entered the stomach, a ball of energy immediately exploded in the stomach and then extended to the limbs and bones.

It made him feel a tingling sensation in his meridians.

This situation made him happy rather than surprised, because the fact that this energy could be drawn out by the exercises showed that the elixir was real, and the stronger the efficacy of the elixir, the better the effect.

This gave him hope for a breakthrough.

The original owner's cultivation had already reached the peak of the second level of Qi training, but no matter how hard he tried he could not break through to the third level of Qi training. He had taken some cheap pills before, but they had no effect.

This time, I think the opportunity has arrived.

After being surprised, Chen Lin immediately calmed his mind and tried his best to guide the medicinal power to circulate according to the technique.
