That night, Qin Ran was in the study. There was soft light inside the room, and it was pitch black outside.
The desk is filled with books, every one of them is open. The soft evening breeze blows in from the window, and the pages of the books move slightly.
He leaned over the table and wrote and drew. What he drew was the route of the exercise, and what he wrote was... the gold-based alchemy exercise.
What is the essence of alchemy? Ten thousand alchemists would give ten thousand answers. But for Qin Ran, its essence is to organically combine the medicinal parts of the herbs to achieve the desired effect.
To a certain extent, as long as you have the pill formula and medicinal materials, you only need to extract the part of the medicinal materials that has medicinal effect, and then use the amount required by the pill formula to make the pill.
So what is the key point? The key point is how to extract the part that has medicinal effect.
The quality of a pill is judged by this. The purer the part with medicinal effect, the higher the quality of the pill.
Similarly, the more impurities, or drug residue, remain, the worse the quality of the pill will be. When the drug residue reaches a certain level, the pill will lose its effect and is called a waste pill.
Therefore, the most basic ability of an alchemist is the ability to purify medicinal materials.
Monks with fire spiritual roots practice fire-attributed techniques, using fire to burn medicinal materials to burn away the residue (impurities) in the medicinal materials. This is called the fire refining method. Monks with water spiritual roots practice water-attributed techniques, using water to flush and soak the medicinal materials to extract the essence of the medicinal power. This is called the water refining method.
Qin Ran has water spiritual roots, so he uses the latter purification method, the water refining method.
As for whether there are people with other spiritual roots in this world who have created other refining methods, such as thunder refining, wind refining, earth refining, etc., we can only say that there may be. I dare not say that there is absolutely no such thing, after all, this world is too big.
But the small place where Qin Ran was located had never heard of it.
It's the same reason. Everyone knows that the nurse is important, but who doesn't want to be the handsome warrior in front? One who can fight and resist
Since you all have golden spiritual roots, why don’t you practice sword skills
Perhaps only a silly girl like Li Shiyin would want to learn alchemy with top-level golden spiritual roots.
The apprentice is stupid, there is nothing to be done about it. Having received such an apprentice, the master has to find a way to make amends.
Isn't it that there is no method to refine gold? Just create one.
The fire refining method uses fire to burn impurities, and the water refining method uses water to extract the essence. So how should the gold refining method be done
Perhaps the gold refining method could be a compromise, grinding the metal into a watery form, then refining it with fire to remove impurities.
Qin Ranbian
I think this method is feasible while writing.
If Li Shiyin practices a technique of controlling objects with the metal element, and uses the technique to control metal powder, she can use the metal powder to wear away impurities and obtain the essence of medicinal power...
Now that you have the idea and framework, you need to design a roadmap for implementation.
The gold-attributed exercises do not have the effect of refining and wearing out medicinal materials. To achieve this effect, one can follow the practice route of the fire-refining exercises.
In other words, you can practice two techniques. First, make the spiritual energy of heaven and earth circulate according to the gold-attribute technique, turning the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into your own gold-attribute magic power. Then, make this gold-attribute magic power circulate according to the fire-attribute technique, and you can obtain gold-attribute magic power with fire attributes.
However, this would cause many problems. The first problem to be faced is that practicing two techniques requires two kinds of spiritual roots, but Li Shiyin only has a gold spiritual root; the second thing to pay attention to is the conflict between practice efficiency and techniques.
After writing and drawing for most of the night, these problems were still not completely solved. Even the spiritual roots were only a small problem. The conflict of skills was a big problem that could not be solved. In the end, Qin Ran only got a preliminary idea.
He put away his pen. On the paper was a picture of controlling golden sands. The techniques for reference on the desk were mostly related to controlling swords. He raised his head and looked out the window. It was very late at night and the sounds of birds and beasts could be heard from the distant forest.
He narrowed his eyes and made other plans. Even if Li Shiyin was his disciple, she could learn swordsmanship. Maybe it would be better than Jianfeng, because there were too many people in Jianfeng and the resources could not be distributed.
However, Qin Ran was still hesitant, mainly because of the question of whether it was worth it. After all, he had only accepted this disciple for two days.
In the next two days, Qin Ran did not ask Li Shiyin to carry herbs, but taught her a basic sword technique and asked her to practice it by herself. He could see that this was a poor student who would fall asleep as soon as she read.
As expected, she was a fool. She would fall asleep in three minutes if asked to read a book or newspaper. She would skip meals if she was interested in sword practice. She only practiced the basic sword technique for two days before she was quite good at it.
If the time had not been too short and the cyclone had not been condensed, Qin Ran felt that she could cultivate sword energy in two days.
This morning, while having breakfast, Qin Ran looked up and saw Li Shiyin throwing candy beans into her mouth, looking very contented. He was a little speechless. This girl had cried and shouted that she wanted to come here to make pills, but she ended up practicing swordsmanship here every day and was having a lot of fun.
Well, so the question is still the same, why does he think this is a cold goddess
"I'm going to the main peak today. If you need anything, write it down on a piece of paper and I'll bring it to you." He said aloud, "By the way, can you make clothes?"
Li Shiyin stirs the glass with a spoon
, hesitantly said: "Daddy asked me to learn it."
In this case, it won't work. Qin Ran said expressionlessly, "Write down the size and I'll find someone to make it for you."
"Okay!" Li Shiyin agreed very readily, and then asked, "Master, can I go with you?"
"You're too slow. It will take too much time to go back and forth." Qin Ran replied.
"You still have to walk?" Li Shiyin asked, "I can keep up."
Qin Ran's eyebrows twitched slightly. Was his secret of being afraid of heights exposed? But he was still a master, so he remained calm and replied in a deep voice, "I will use the Divine Steps, so I will be very fast."
"Oh!" Li Shiyin nodded disappointedly.
“Once you condense the cyclone, you can practice magic. When the time comes, you can learn a flying magic or a magical movement magic, and you can travel between the main peak and Dan Peak at will.” Qin Ran said.
Li Shiyin was unhappy and lay on the table feeding herself candy beans.
"You are home alone today, so I will assign you a task." Seeing her expression, Qin Ran spoke out.
"What?" Li Shiyin wasn't very interested.
After breakfast, Qin Ran took her out and walked along the stream to the middle of the lawn in front of the door. He pointed at the surroundings and said to Li Shiyin, "I want to build an artificial lake here. I could have used magic, but in order to train you, you have to dig the lake."
"We are going to build an artificial lake here?" Li Shiyin was shocked. Besides, did she hear it wrong? She was digging it alone! !
"I've told you that cultivation is a process of becoming stronger. The reason why the foundation-building period is called foundation-building is that it is a stage of laying the foundation. During the foundation-building period, the more mana you accumulate and the purer it is, the better the golden elixir you condense. The stronger your physique, the faster you condense mana, the purer the mana you extract, and the easier it is to break through the realm barrier, which is also of great benefit to your future cultivation." Qin Ran said expressionlessly. He had absolutely no intention of revenge.
"So this lake is for you to dig. You can use spells and magical powers, but you cannot use magic tools or elixirs."
The master seems to be serious...
"Master?" Li Shiyin asked pitifully.
It's only been a few days and you're already acting cute?! We must not allow this unhealthy trend to grow!
Qin Ran was as hard as stone. He ignored Li Shiyin who was pretending to be pitiful. He raised his hand and pointed to the storage room. He said coldly: "The tools are in the storage room. Start now!"
After saying this, he secretly used his divine steps to quickly disappear into the forest trail, leaving himself no chance to regret.
Li Shiyin sighed to the sky, then accepted her fate.
