Although he hadn't made Xuan-level elixirs for a long time, some common recipes were still imprinted in his mind.
This is a recipe for a five-star Xuan-level elixir made with the fruit of the Banyan tree as the main ingredient, along with Magic Rock Mineral Crystal and Su Rong Flower. It's called the Qing Xin Dan, and it has the effect of holding the breath and detoxifying, making it very useful in adventures.
The banyan tree is poisonous, but its fruit is an excellent antidote.
There are many poisonous spiritual plants in the wild. Sometimes they gather together to form poisonous miasma. If you are not careful, you will be poisoned. If you have it, it can form a barrier in the body to help the spiritualist hold his breath. The effect lasts for about an hour. It can also be taken after being poisoned. It is specifically used to treat miasma and prevent poisonous gas from entering the body.
Mu Jiu remembered that there were many poisonous miasma in the ruins of Hui, which made the exploration more difficult. However, there were often good things in places protected by poisonous miasma, which led to the fact that some elixirs were in short supply in the market not long ago.
Now they have left behind a few relics that specialize in the research of this type of elixir, which is indeed very meaningful and very practical for spiritualists.
But this time, Lin Qinghen's pill recipe changed drastically.
The previous pill recipe was very simple, just a few words. The three materials were in a ratio of 2:1:1. First put in the magic rock ore crystal and refine it until it melted. Then add the joy fruit and Sulong flower, and finally refine it until the pill is solidified.
Pill recipes have never been very complicated. After the alchemist memorizes them, the right way is to practice them repeatedly through his own efforts. However, Lin Qinghen has changed his mind now.
The recipe he handed to Mu Jiu was still just a few ingredients, but it was a long, densely packed sheet of paper. It took Mu Jiu a long time just to read it through.
First of all, the proportions are different. The proportion of Su Ronghua is slightly increased, and the proportion of Demon Rock Mineral Crystal is reduced. The biggest change is the step of refining medicine. If a higher-level alchemist comes to refine it, like Mu Jiu, he doesn't care about the order of refining medicine. It's just a Xuan-level pill. He just throws it in and shakes it casually to produce a finished product.
But the pill recipe Lin Qinghen gave was complicated, and the steps of refining the medicine were much more detailed.
First, add a certain amount of magic rock crystals, refine until it is half melted, then add half of the joy fruit, wait until the joy fruit is stimulated to peel off, then add three petals of Su Rong flower...
He was extremely meticulous and precise, down to the exact time and amount. He divided the refining process of the Qingxin Pill into ten steps, and finally handed Mu Jiu a small bottle of potion.
Mu Jiu opened it and took a look, then smelled it.
He couldn't feel anything, only a faint spiritual energy, just like the secret medicine before. He thought that Lin Qinghen probably added something confusing in it so that others could not detect it.
"Put these two together with the last Joy Fruit into the medicine cauldron. There's not much, just two drops," Lin Qinghen said, "Please, President Mu, refine it according to these two instructions for me to see."
Mu Jiu is a Heaven-level alchemist, so refining Xuan-level pills is easy for him. He is much faster than the Xuan-level alchemists.
But because the steps were complicated, he was somewhat flustered. He felt that he seemed to have performed abnormally and took a little longer. In the end, he got one batch out, so he did not fail.
Lin Yunsi and Li Yan had already gathered. Each of them took out one and looked at it. Mu Jiu's level was very good. Although he was a little flustered, his level was still there.
The pills refined in one furnace are very stable, and basically every pill is of the same quality.
When Mu Jiu saw the finished pill, his first reaction was naturally surprise. His eyebrows raised at once, and he even forgot what he had planned to do when he came here.
He knew that Lin Qinghen would not do it in vain!
Just looking at the results of the spiritual power detection, it is about 20% better than the ordinary Qingxin Pill, with a higher concentration of spiritual power. Maybe there will be other more obvious effects after taking it.
It was probably because Mu Jiu was in a hurry and unfamiliar with the technique, and some steps were not completed completely. If he were more proficient, the technique would naturally improve more.
Lin Qinghen: What is that small bottle of potion
With this thing, the yellow-grade medicinal base is really no longer something to worry about, and it doesn’t matter if you share it with Haihun City!
Could it be that Lin Qinghen has already developed a medicinal base suitable for the Xuan level
But he was just happy, when he turned around and looked at Lin Qinghen's face, he frowned, as if he looked very dissatisfied, and exchanged glances with Lin Yunsi Liyan, but the other two people seemed to have expected it, and their faces were not surprised.
This made Mu Jiu, who was happy, seem a little out of place, so he couldn't help but restrain himself a little and become serious along with them.
Based on Lin Qinghen's real experience over the past few days, improving the pill formula is not a difficult task, as long as the degree of improvement is that high.
The difficulty of the system task lies in the fact that it requires a significant improvement in the quality of the finished pills. Improving the Xuan level by 50% and improving the Huang level by 50% have completely different levels of difficulty, especially when the materials are the same. You will understand once you really start doing it.
I don't know which direction the system is going, Lin Qinghen did remind me.
Many of the existing pill recipes are relatively crude. Just as the system said, even if the actual ability of the pharmacist is not taken into account, some simple pill recipes themselves do not bring out the best of the materials. Lin Qinghen can find some problems in almost every pill recipe.
The shortcomings of yellow-grade pills are not that obvious. After all, the materials are simple, and they are assisted by the medicinal base improved by Lin Qinghen, so there are generally no obvious deficiencies.
But once the Xuan-level materials become complicated, problems will arise.
When Lin Qinghen called Lin Yunsi and Li Yan to refine medicine, he watched carefully from the side. After his physical strength was improved to the Xuan level, he could withstand some spiritual power shocks. When the alchemist did not reject him, he could get close to Yao Dinghen and observe the alchemy process directly.
The spiritual energy sensing ability of the two people helped a lot at that time. Compared with ordinary alchemists, they were able to maximize the effectiveness of the materials, and the alchemy process was much more detailed, which was more conducive to Lin Qinghen's observation.
It is very intuitive and clear to see how the materials put into the medicine cauldron exert their effects and what changes they undergo over time.
Moreover, he was the one who brought up Lin Yunsi, who had improved a lot compared to before. There were some things that Lin Qinghen had not discovered. As an alchemist, he wanted to add a few words. Li Yan said that when the three of them worked together, with Lin Qinghen as the leader, their efficiency was much higher.
Lin Yunsi and Li Yan had never expected that there was actually a way to refine the elixir.
Every step is adjusted to the perfect position, so there is no sense of blockage in the medicine refining process and the spiritual power can be exerted much more smoothly.
In the past, the spiritual world was too obsessed with "talent" and didn't care much about other things. Moreover, there was really no one who had Lin Qinghen's meticulous observation ability enhanced by his affinity for nature to help alchemists exert their strengths in the formulation of pill recipes.
Take the Qingxin Pill as an example. According to the original recipe, some steps were carried out too hastily. It was obvious that the previous ingredients were not digested before they were added in, causing some spiritual power that could have been utilized to be lost in vain.
By constantly adjusting the steps, each material can be used to its best advantage, and the materials will melt and combine at the right time, and the finished pill will naturally be better. Of course, in addition to adjusting the steps, Lin Qinghen also added some other things, which can be regarded as a small discovery in the process, which helps to improve his own pill recipe.
"That small bottle in the back is not a medicine base," Lin Qinghen said, "How can there be a universal medicine base for Xuan-level? They all need to be adjusted according to the conditions of each type of elixir. That bottle of stuff is only suitable for elixirs that contain Joy Fruit."
After spending a long time with the Happy Banyan tree, Lin Qinghen not only gained from being treated as a cat by the tree, but to some extent, they could even communicate with each other. When the Happy Banyan tree was happy, it would tell him some special news that no one else knew.
The old leaves can be used as medicine. You don't need a lot, just a little bit will do. When the proportion is well controlled, the effectiveness of the joy fruit can be stimulated to a greater extent.
The old leaves of the banyan tree do not have any spiritual power level. A large number of them fell under the tree. You can pick them up at random. Usually no one wants them. After picking them up, there is only a faint spiritual energy on them, and a little bit of undetectable toxins.
Lin Qinghen was most skilled at controlling the proportion. He first refined it, and then conducted repeated experiments several times before finally finding the appropriate position for it in the formula.
Mu Jiu couldn't sense how the potion was made, and whether any disguise was added to Lin Qinghen. In fact, nothing was added. It was the same after the old leaves of the banyan tree were refined. Some spiritual crystals were added to facilitate catalysis. There was nothing else. However, anyone who looked at it could not find where the raw materials were.
But Lin Qinghen still felt a little disappointed. He held the pill in his hand, feeling a little listless.
Previously, Lin Yunsi and Li Yan worked together to refine medicine. With the bonus of the Shen family's special spiritual marrow, the improvement of the Qingxin Pill barely reached 40%. If an ordinary alchemist came, with skill, the improvement should be more than half, about 25%.
Just now, Mu Jiu, a heaven-level alchemist, has proved one thing. Although he was a little slow and confused, Mu Jiu was a heaven-level alchemist, and the concentration of his spiritual power was far beyond the reach of ordinary earth-level alchemists.
No matter what, it is still far from the 50% required by the system, so the system has been silent for several days.
This task is indeed not so easy to complete.
Lin Qinghen squatted in a small room in the medicine garden and modified more than one pill formula. He revised all the recipes with Lin Yunsi according to the concept of meticulousness and precision. The efficiency was very high, but the results were similar.
Many pill recipes don't have extra leaves as an incentive like the Happy Banyan Tree. Just relying on that little bit, the degree of improvement is no less than 10%. In comparison, the Qingxin Pill is already the best one.
Mu Jiu didn't understand why Lin Qinghen had such a serious expression, especially since the other party later took out a pill recipe. The Joy Fruit was one of the common auxiliary ingredients for Xuan-level detoxification pills. There were a lot of pills made with it, and it was the biggest change in the pile.
Although it is useless to the system, it is still somewhat useful for the current situation. In order to establish a unified Alchemist Association, Lin Qinghen has to come up with something if he wants to become the president.
There are medicine stores in Lingyi, Haihun City, and Lei City. According to Lin Qinghen's ambition, after the integration, no matter where or what forces they originally belonged to, they will have to listen to him.
But for now, I still have to appease them. After all, they followed me when they had nothing. It is really different if they come in later. Lin Qinghen will not let them suffer any loss.
"Although it was a bit of a failure, it can be used temporarily for now. The ruins have been closed for some time. Jiuxiao is discussing that it will be opened again sooner or later. The soldiers and horses have not arrived yet, so we need to prepare some food and grass first. We need to prepare some detoxification pills first," Lin Qinghen said to Mu Jiu, "I have other preparations for Zhou Xian. He will come to talk to me in the afternoon. There is no rush for the Alchemist Association."
Mu Jiu:…
Lin Qinghen's focus was to tell him not to worry too much about the fusion and lose his composure, but Mu Jiu's focus was different.
He finally understood why Lin Qinghen was unhappy when he saw the pill.
So, he calls this a bit of a failure
I don’t understand this world anymore.
Mu Jiu was speechless.
