On the surface, there is only one word difference between alchemy and weapon refining, but in fact they are very different.
Weapon refining has extremely high requirements for the level of spiritual fire.
The higher the level of spiritual fire, the higher the efficiency and the better the effect of refining the impurities in the spiritual materials in the smelting step.
But alchemy is different.
Alchemy pays more attention to the control of spiritual fire.
Because spiritual herbs and trees are different from iron ore spiritual materials and have extremely low ignition points, even a first-level spiritual fire can refine most of the spiritual herbs and trees.
In alchemy, there are two refinements, which require an extremely precise grasp of the temperature of the spiritual fire.
If the temperature is too high, it is easy to burn the magical herbs directly to ashes.
If the temperature is too low, the essence of the magical herbs and trees cannot be extracted.
Although alchemy does not require gathering spirits, it does require an extremely in-depth understanding of thousands of spiritual herbs and trees.
The higher the grade of the elixir, the more complicated the elixir recipe is, and the more things need to be memorized. A truly top alchemy master even needs to memorize hundreds of millions of spiritual herbs and trees.
In the open space, the alchemist named He Xing from the True Fire Alchemy Pavilion has already cultivated the second-level spiritual fire and is quite skilled in controlling the flames.
Su Xiaoning only cultivated the first level of spiritual fire, but she was no weaker than her opponent in controlling the temperature.
What the two of them were refining was the most common elixir, the Spiritual Recovery Pill.
There are three types of Spirit Rejuvenation Pills, used to restore spiritual power, namely first-level, second-level, and third-level. The effects are naturally very different.
Both of them were refining second-level spiritual healing elixirs, and the number of spiritual herbs in the elixir reached twenty-eight types!
There must be no mistakes in refining each of these twenty-eight herbs, otherwise the elixir condensation will inevitably fail in the end.
He Xing's alchemy technique is obviously more advanced.
But this person's eyes were extremely evil, and from time to time they would drift to Su Xiaoning's body, looking up and down with bold eyes.
Su Zimo's eyes narrowed slightly, and the murderous intent in his eyes flashed away.
Nian Qi noticed something and glanced at Su Zimo in surprise, then looked at Su Xiaoning in the open space, thoughtfully.
"This He Xing's alchemy skills are good, but his methods are a bit despicable."
Among the crowd, a monk muttered.
The other person quickly covered the former's mouth: "Shh, keep your voice down, don't get in trouble!"
The beholder is clear.
Most of the monks could tell that He Xing looked at Su Xiaoning like this during the process of refining the elixir, with the obvious intention of disturbing Su Xiaoning's mind!
When refining alchemy, distraction is the most taboo thing.
Whether it is refining or condensing elixirs, any slight fluctuation in mind will result in failure.
But Su Xiaoning turned a blind eye to He Xing's provocation and interference, and concentrated on refining the medicinal materials in her hands, carefully and cautiously, and the concentration in her eyes was moving.
In the eyes of everyone, Su Xiaoning's alchemy techniques were obviously not as good as He Xing's.
But this concentration is countless times stronger than He Xing!
Su Zimo nodded secretly, feeling quite pleased.
"What grudges do these two have? Why are they fighting here?"
Su Zimo looked at a monk next to him and asked in a low voice.
The man said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. I heard that it seemed to be because of an alchemy furnace. The female cultivator from the Qingshuang Sect was interested in it first and had already delivered the spirit stones. However, He Xing caught him and had to pay double the amount. Bei Lingshi bought this alchemy furnace, but the female cultivator refused, and the two sides became enmity."
"Later, He Xing repeatedly made trouble for this female cultivator. The female cultivator was so annoyed that she fought against this person here."
Su Zimo frowned and said, "This woman is an alchemist from the Qingshuang Alchemy Pavilion. How can other monks allow their fellow disciples to be bullied by the True Fire Alchemy Pavilion?"
"I don't know."
The man shook his head and said: "But this He Xing has a good background. He is the most promising alchemist among the younger generation of the True Fire Sect. His brother He Jiang is extremely powerful and is said to be the first person in the True Fire Sect's foundation-building realm. , in this sect competition, you will definitely enter the top ten on the spiritual list!"
"The He brothers, one is good at alchemy and the other is terrifying in combat. They are the most popular among the True Fire Sect. I guess the director of Qingshuang Alchemy Pavilion is concerned about the relationship between the two sects and does not want to offend He Xing."
Su Zimo nodded, his face expressionless, showing no emotion or anger.
In this moment, both He Xing and Su Xiaoning have begun the fourth step of alchemy, the second refining.
He Xing saw that Su Xiaoning was indifferent, his eyes became bolder and bolder, and he let out a series of weird laughs.
Su Xiaoning seemed not to have heard anything, staring closely at the alchemy furnace in front of her, using the spiritual fire to control the temperature of the flame, and refining and purifying the impurities in the fused herbal essence bit by bit.
He Xing laughed ghostly on the spot and kept noisy.
Su Xiaoning didn't say a word, just focused on refining alchemy, concentrating her concentration, as if she had forgotten everything, ignored everyone around her, and was only immersed in her own alchemy.
Both sides make a decision!
Even in terms of alchemy techniques, He Xing is better than Su Xiaoning.
But at this moment, in the eyes of everyone, He Xing is like a clown.
The warm sunshine is scattered on the woman's body, and there seems to be light and colorful light behind her.
A layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from the tip of the woman's nose and forehead, shining brightly and flawlessly.
At this moment, a thought flashed through everyone's mind.
This is alchemy.
An alchemist should be like this.
Refining alchemy, in the hands of a woman, seems to have a soul and life.
The woman is not refining elixir, but more like giving birth to a new life.
Watching the woman's alchemy, everyone felt an inexplicable feeling in their hearts. They couldn't help but immerse themselves in the alchemist's world and witness the birth of a new life.
At this moment, Su Zimo smiled.
Smile a lot.
Xiao Ning finally found her own way.
Although Su Zimo also dabbled in alchemy, he even won the first place in the Alchemy Peak of Piaomiao Peak.
But at this moment, he had to admit that when it came to alchemy, he was no worse than his sister!
What he understands is just the beginning of the elixir.
But what Xiao Ning understands is the true meaning of elixirs!
Gradually, an invisible aura formed around Su Xiaoning, which became stronger and stronger.
This is the aura belonging to a top alchemist!
He Xing's expression changed.
Under the suppression of Su Xiaoning's aura, his heart was in chaos, the flames flickered, and almost incinerated all the herbal essence in the alchemy furnace!
He Xing took a deep breath, quickly gathered his thoughts, and turned back to concentrate on making alchemy.
But by this time, it was already too late.
Su Xiaoning finished the second refining first!
A strong scent of medicine wafted out from the alchemy furnace. Everyone around them felt refreshed after smelling it, and the spiritual power in their bodies was ready to move.
Su Xiaoning closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing for a while, then opened her eyes again with a firm gaze and began to condensate the elixir.
At this time, He Xing had just finished the second refinement.
In He Xing's alchemy furnace, although there was a scent of medicine wafting out, it was still there and no one felt anything about it.
If nothing unexpected happens, after the elixir condensation is over, the quality of Su Xiaoning's elixir will definitely be better than that of He Xing's elixir!
Through the scent of the medicine, the alchemists around them vaguely judged that Su Xiaoning's furnace of elixirs might even be able to refine a perfect elixir with five elixir patterns!
