Let’s take the Xuanqi Pill as an example. A Xuanqi Pill requires three plants of Juling Grass and some other medicinal materials. The total cost is about 300 Tianhe coins, but once it is refined into a Xuanqi Pill, it can be sold for at least Thousands of days and coins, this is definitely a huge profit.
One of the main reasons why Yu Shengxiao was so keen on refining medicine was to make money.
Only after she has a huge wealth can she form her own power and provide more resources for her future cultivation.
Money is not everything, but nothing is impossible without money.
"At the beginning, we must succeed this time." Looking at the materials that were only enough for two refinements, Yu Shengxiao took a deep breath, and started refining with a serious expression.
Warm up the medicine cauldron!
A seemingly simple step, but it is the most important part of refining medicine. It is necessary to master the fire of the soul, and to let the medicine cauldron be heated evenly, and the temperature must be controlled within a certain range, so as to ensure that the ingredients are filled in. At this time, the material will not be burnt due to too high temperature, and the medicinal materials will not be completely dissolved due to uneven heating.
With a focused expression, her eyes were fixed on the medicine cauldron, and her palms trembled due to tension, but soon she gritted her teeth and controlled the trembling of her arms, and dense sweat began to ooze from her white forehead.
Seeing that the timing was almost up, Yu Shengxiao picked up the materials on one side and carefully put them into the medicine cauldron bit by bit. Since the temperature of the medicine cauldron was high, you must pay attention to the timing when putting the materials in. All melt, and can not appear coking phenomenon.
chi chi...
The moment the material was put in, a cloud of white smoke appeared on the surface of the medicine cauldron, causing Yu Shengxiao's whole heart to lift up suddenly, his brows were furrowed, and the sweat on his forehead became even more, "It won't fail again."
Since the white smoke covered the entire medicine cauldron, the condition of the materials inside could not be seen at all. So Yu Shengxiao couldn't be sure what the outcome would be.
Continue to heat up, urging the power of the soul to output continuously, not daring to breathe, staring at it without blinking, afraid of missing every detail.
As time passed by, the white mist in the medicine cauldron began to gradually fade, and a fresh fragrance began to permeate, which made Yu Shengxiao feel a little joy in his heart.
Did it work
This refinement seems to be much better than the previous ones, even the fragrance is more pure.
The white mist subsided, Yushengxiao looked down and looked at her eyes with a helpless expression, the corners of her lips twitched slightly, and sighed: "This is too difficult, I'm so careful, but it still doesn't work."
I saw two lumps of mud-like objects lying quietly in the medicine cauldron. They looked so dark that they had no appetite no matter how they looked at them. However, there was a strong fragrance permeating the not so dark things. This kind of fragrance The smell is more fragrant than the scent of the medicinal materials before refining, and it smells better.
Looking at this stuff that didn't look like a pill, Yu Shengxiao wanted to cry but had no tears, so she shook her head helplessly, stretched out her hand and took out two objects that she couldn't bear to look at directly, and said unconvinced: "I can't, I can't succeed once. "
After five failures, she still refused to give up, but she was always a little bit disappointed. After all, it was mentioned in the "Basic Medicine Alchemy Manual" that some practitioners who possessed the fire of the soul could not control the power of the soul. , nor can he become a junior pharmacist.
That is to say, Yu Shengxiao has not entered the ranks of pharmacists yet, and maybe she will not be able to become a pharmacist in this life, unless she can successfully refine the elixir.
After taking a few deep breaths, Yu Shengxiao half-closed her eyes, her face was a little dignified, her brows were tightly frowned, and with the materials in her hand that were only enough for one refinement, all the nerves in her body began to tense up, and her little heart began to Jumping uncontrollably.
"It must be successful. There is only one last chance left." Yu Shengxiao didn't want to waste any more time on refining medicine. If she didn't succeed this time, she had no choice but to give up. After all, she couldn't be greedy. Existence and legend.
"Hoo hoo..." Take a few deep breaths again, urging the soul power in her body, this time she specially changed the way the soul power is output, this time it is not purely using the soul power to condense into flames, but also input a little bit of it A trace of mystery.
Perhaps it is because the soul power in her body is relatively pure, even if there is a trace of profound energy mixed in, the condensed soul fire still maintains a burning state. What surprised Yu Shengxiao even more was that the two streams of energy converged After being together, there is no trace of rejection, and they will live in harmony like two good friends.
"Hey, it's getting darker." Yu Shengxiao, who was slowly pumping out two streams of energy in her body, suddenly had a look of shock in her eyes, and then let out a low voice. The pale white turned into white, and the color change proved that the level of the flame had actually increased.
A low-level first-rank flame turned into a low-level second-rank flame
Yu Shengxiao, who was astonished in his heart, was so excited that an unconcealable ecstasy appeared on his little face. The reason why the refining failed at first was because the flame of the soul power was not pure enough, which led to the inability to control the temperature of the medicine cauldron. Some degree of coking occurs during melting.
Now that the quality of the flame has improved, the temperature of the medicine cauldron will be better controlled, which means that the probability of successful refining is also higher.
"If I add a little more profound energy, I don't know if this will make the flame more stable." Thinking this way in her heart, Yu Shengxiao didn't rush to start refining, but started researching on the soul fire.
sizzle...
With the infusion of profound energy, the originally stable soul fire began to stir a little, and the surrounding air also became distorted by the heat of the soul fire.
Frowning, after feeling the restlessness of the flames, Yu Shengxiao gave up the plan to inject profound energy again.
"It seems that the ratio of soul power to profound energy injection should not be too high."
Muttering to herself in a low voice, after Yu Shengxiao tried a few more times, she finally managed to basically grasp the ratio of the two, so that the fire of the soul would not appear as restless as before.
After repeated trials several times, Yu Shengxiao took a deep breath of turbid air, crossed her knees to restore the profound energy in her body, and then began to concentrate on refining the elixir.
After many experiments, the color of the soul fire in the palm has changed from normal white to darker, and it is close to the quality of the low-level third grade.
Heating, adding materials, refining...
All movements are smooth and flowing, and there is no trace of a novice at all. If someone sees this scene at this time, they will definitely mistake Yu Shengxiao in front of him for a pharmacist. Such movements and speed, as well as that control For a stable flame, even an ordinary alchemist cannot do it.
It has to be said that Yu Shengxiao, who has the experience of two lifetimes, definitely has the advantage of surpassing everyone in terms of mind and comprehension. Coupled with the tempered physique of the Fengyuan Demon Orb, her body can be said to have stepped into a A new realm.
With a photographic memory and extraordinary talent.
Although only Yu Shengxiao knows this, in the eyes of others, she is still a mediocre cultivator, and she has no intention of changing other people's views, after all, when her own strength has not yet reached a certain height , it's better to keep a low profile.
The trees are beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy them. There is some truth to this old adage.
The refining process this time was unexpectedly smooth. Even Yu Shengxiao himself did not expect that there was no problem in the refining process. When the materials were put into the medicine cauldron, there was no white smoke this time. , but only a thin layer of steam rises.
"Condensed into a pill." Staring at the melting material in the medicine cauldron with burning eyes, Yu Shengxiao was very nervous, but still controlled it very well, fearing that the control of the soul fire would be affected due to emotional fluctuations.
One second, two seconds, three seconds... Time passed by little by little. Although it was only a few minutes, Yu Shengxiao seemed to have spent a hundred years, and a sense of anxiety spread from the bottom of her heart.
chi chi...
Slight movements, accompanied by a strong fragrance, began to spread in the space, Yu Shengxiao began to gradually put away the soul fire in the palm of his hand, took a deep breath, closed his eyes and took a rest.
In the refining process just now, although the output of soul power was not a lot, due to the need to control the amount of output, this made Yu Shengxiao feel more exhausted than a battle under full concentration.
The clothes on his body were already soaked, and he reached out to wipe the fine sweat from his forehead, his face was slightly pale, and the originally tense nerves began to relax slightly.
"This refining medicine is really a laborious task." I thought that refining medicine was just a light and easy process, but I almost lost my strength just now.
Just as she was closing her eyes and resting her mind, a strong fragrance hit her nostrils. Compared with the first fragrance, this time the fragrance was more refreshing, which made Yu Shengxiao secretly happy.
Hope it works out this time.
A little pleasantly surprised, a little apprehensive, a little tangled, a little worried, Yu Shengxiao began to open her eyes slightly, and looked into the medicine cauldron, with deep joy in her eyes.
Inside the medicine cauldron, there were three pills shining with yellow light, lying quietly. Each pill exuded a strong profound energy fluctuation, which seemed to be a little different from what was described in the book.
While being pleasantly surprised, Yu Shengxiao began to feel a little puzzled. According to the description in the "Basic Alchemy Refining Manual", the refined Xuanqi pill should not look like this, it should be white, and the profound energy fluctuations on it should be the same. Very light, after all, this Xuanqi pill is only the lowest level of pill, although it can help practitioners to some extent, it is not a high-quality pill like Qi Condensing Pill.
"Why did it turn golden? Could something be wrong?" Yu Shengxiao frowned, and couldn't help but think in her heart. After contemplating for a while, she stretched out her hand and picked up one of them, and looked at it carefully.
The Xuanqi fluctuations on the Xuanqi pill were so strong that they seemed to break out of the pill, which made Yu Shengxiao even more puzzled.
"Never mind, let's talk about it later." After all, it was refined with normal materials, even if something went wrong, it shouldn't be poisonous, so Yu Shengxiao swallowed the pill without hesitation.
chi chi...
The elixir she swallowed had a reaction immediately, Yu Shengxiao only felt a trace of dryness and heat in her lower abdomen, and a strong energy began to emerge, this effect was even stronger than other elixirs she had taken.
After feeling the heat in her body, Yu Shengxiao immediately sat down cross-legged, and began to concentrate, trying to absorb the profound energy emerging from the elixir.
Time passed by second by second, and after about an hour or so, a blush gradually appeared on Yu Shengxiao's face, and the pores all over her body began to open, and the impurities in her body began to seep out from the pores, and her whole body began to emit a tinge of blush. It stinks.
"It smells so bad." After recovering from meditation, Yu Shengxiao frowned, the stench from her breath made her stomach churn, her eyes opened slightly, but when her eyes saw the stench on the clothes At that time, he was surprised: "Did it fall into the stinky ditch just now?"
Yu Shengxiao shook her head helplessly, ignoring the effect of refining the elixir, stood up, glanced at Xiao Baibai who was still in the process of evolution, and with a thought, the whole person flashed out from the space.
Coming out of the space, Yu Shengxiao saw that Lian Ruyi was still meditating and did not pay attention to her situation, so she didn't dare to delay any longer, and went directly to the bathroom beside her with a change of clothes .
