Chapter 153: Refining medicine

Views:

(This update is the third update yesterday and the third update today. You should understand...)

After paying 100 gold coins, Fatty found out about Liu Yuetong from Bai Xiaosheng 093. Sure enough, Liuyuetong is an extremely common tree that grows just outside Xuanwu City. The sap of Liuyuetong has little use and is not valuable, so no one auctions it.

According to what Bai Xiaosheng 093 said, Fatty came outside Nancheng. There is a forest here, and Liuyuetong grows in it.

Liuyuetong looks like a sycamore, but it is not very tall. It is said that every full moon night, little bits of silver will be sprinkled on Liuyuetong, as if crying to the moon, which has caused many players to wait until the full moon night to watch. This ** is one of the materials Fatty needs to synthesize the King-winged Ant Venom Potion.

It was not a full moon night, and of course Fatty was not in the mood to wait until a full moon night to pick, so he used a very common method, cutting a few wounds on the Liuyue Tung tree, and then used Collection technique.

About 10 bottles of sap can be collected from each tree, but no more can be collected. Fortunately, there were enough Liuyue Tung trees, and Fatty soon collected a sufficient amount of sap.

Now, all the materials for refining the Emperor-winged Ant Venom Potion, including the Emperor-winged Ant Venom, the Golden Marrow Beads, and the Liuyuetong juice, have been gathered, and Fatty can start refining it. However, after checking, Fatty discovered to his dismay that in order to refine this potion, one must have the title of intermediate alchemist, but he was still a rookie alchemist with zero junior experience.

There is no other way but to upgrade the alchemist level first. Fortunately, Fatty was quite frugal, and he was reluctant to throw away all the materials he had collected before, and piled them up in the warehouse.

Snake gallbladder, Imperata cognac roots, colorful butterfly venom sacs, and many other materials that can be used to make medicine are all available here. Fatty quickly ran to the auction hall and took some photos of the cheapest prescriptions. Fatty slapped his hand on the prescription and learned something. A method of refining medicine.

"Ah, I still need to buy a medicine cauldron." The fat man was going crazy, but he was just refining a poison, so there was so much trouble.

Fortunately, he hadn't left the auction hall yet. Fatty searched there again, and the information about the Red Flame Cauldron fell into his eyes.

[Red Flame Cauldron]: Medicine cauldron, which can refine low- to medium-level medicines. The starting price is 1,500 gold coins, and the one-time price is 3,000 gold coins. There are still 20 hours left until the end of the auction.

"It costs money again!" The fat man was almost angry. He gritted his teeth and looked at the King-winged Ant Venom Potion. In order to get this venom potion, I spent 60,000 to 70,000 gold coins to buy the medicine. If the refining effect is not as good as promised, "Fat Master, I will hang myself in front of the gate of Xinghuan Company." go."

The fat man howled and took the red flame cauldron with trembling hands. He exhaled in his heart and finally had enough.

Refining medicine is very particular. It not only requires various materials, but also has special environmental requirements. After seeing 1,000 gold coins deducted from him with a livid face, the fat man came to Xuanwu City, a room specially prepared for alchemists.

Alchemy rooms are also divided into levels, and this room belongs to the lowest level. There is nothing else in the room, only a stone table and a stone chair.

Place the Red Flame Cauldron on the stone table, light the flame below, and immediately feel a burning sensation. When the Hongyan Cauldron glowed slightly red, Fatty quickly poured the prepared medicinal materials into the cauldron and began to refine it.

What is being refined this time is a medicine that replenishes Qi and blood, called Yiqi Pill, and the required material happens to be Imperata Imperata. In order to complete the task, Fatty collected a large number of Imperata cogongrass roots. In addition to the two hundred roots used for the task, there were still more than 1,300 roots left, which was enough for squandering.

"I will practice." The fat man pointed at the red flame cauldron, and saw a flame suddenly appear in the cauldron, swallowing up the Imperata root. The Imperata roots tumbled inside the cauldron and quickly melted, forming a puddle of liquid.

"Isn't this too easy?" The fat man touched his chin and looked nervously at the rolling breasts.

boom. As if in response to the fat man, the gun inside suddenly made a banging sound, and countless balls splashed out like raindrops, containing high-temperature medicinal liquid, which made a sizzling sound when it fell to the ground.

The fat man's face was also splashed with a few drops, but fortunately, it was not hurt in the city, so the consequences of disfigurement were avoided.

"Ding-"

System prompt: Unfortunately, the refining of the medicine failed, 100 experience points were obtained, and 0 experience points were obtained for the refining technique.

"I wiped it. Even if I'm not satisfied with Fatty, I shouldn't be like this." Fatty wiped the liquid on his face and continued to add medicinal ingredients.

Following a system prompt, the second refining went quite smoothly. Ten Imperata cogongrass roots fell into the cauldron. It only took about ten minutes for them to turn into liquid medicine. Afterwards, they went through procedures such as impurity removal and solidification. Five or six pills with a faint fragrance fell into the fat man's hands.

Putting five or six pills into a glass bottle, the fat man poured one out and looked at it. The pill is white in color and about the size of a jelly bean, making it easy to pop into your mouth.

[Yi Qi Dan]: A low-level pill that restores 50 points of Qi and blood per second, with a duration of 5 seconds and a cooling time of 10 seconds.

Sure enough, it is a low-grade pill that only restores 50 points of Qi and blood per second. Even an anemic person like Fatty doesn't bother to use it.

If you successfully refine it once, you can gain 1 point of alchemy experience. If you fail, you will lose half of the experience. In other words, if you want to advance to the intermediate level in refining medicine, you have to refine it at least a hundred times, and you have to be successful every time.

With a grimace on his face, the fat man continued to add medicinal materials to the cauldron and began the arduous process of refining the medicine.

"Ding-"

System prompt: Congratulations, you have successfully refined it and obtained 8 [Yiqi Pills]. Gain 100 experience points and 1 alchemy experience point.

"boom."

"Ding-"

System prompt: Unfortunately, refining the medicine failed. Gain 100 experience points and 0 experience points for alchemy.

He was highly nervous, and he didn't know how long he had been refining. After consuming the roots of Imperata cogongrass, snake gallbladder, and some venom sacs of colorful butterflies, finally, with a pleasant system prompt, the fat man's alchemy skills rose to the level of At the intermediate level, he has become a glorious intermediate alchemist.

"Finally it can be refined."

He took out a bottle of emperor-winged ant venom and poured it into the cauldron, then put the golden marrow beads and Liuyuetong juice into the red flame cauldron in proportion, and the fat man carefully lit the flame.

The red flame cauldron slowly heated up, and the three medicinal materials tumbled inside the cauldron. The venom of the emperor-winged ant was the first to melt. The originally thin yellow-green liquid gradually became viscous, and finally the impurities inside seemed to be separated, leaving only the purest liquid containing medicinal properties. This stream of blood condensed into a ball, sinking and floating in the red flame cauldron.

The second thing to melt was the juice of Liuyue Tung. The same silver juice gradually reduced under high temperature burning, and finally turned into a ball of silver ball-like **, which slowly merged with the venom of the emperor-winged ant to form a silver medium. A green liquid.

The golden marrow beads were more difficult to melt. It was not until half an hour after both medicinal materials were melted that the golden marrow beads slowly softened, and finally turned into a pool of golden fluid and merged into the silver-green liquid.

Melting the medicinal materials is only the first step in refining the medicine. The second step is to evenly blend the properties of the three medicinal materials so that they are completely integrated together. This requires patience. The fat man kept performing the alchemy refining technique. Every time he used the alchemy refining technique, the medicinal liquid in the medicine cauldron was mixed a little. It was not until seventeen or eighteen times that the medicinal liquid was mixed evenly, and the next step of refining could be carried out.

This third step is purification. The same medicine refining technique is used. Every time the light of the medicine refining technique falls on the medicine cauldron, the medicinal liquid in the cauldron solidifies, and many impurities are removed. Slowly, all the medicinal liquids were mixed together, forming a thick liquid that was as thick as a solid.

The last step is to collect it. The fat man raised his fat hand lightly, and a refining technique fell into the medicine cauldron. He saw that the liquid in the medicine cauldron suddenly rotated, and all the liquid medicine flew up and fell into a bottle next to the medicine cauldron.

"Ding-"

System prompt: Congratulations on your successful refining. You have obtained a bottle of [Emperor-winged Ant Venom Potion], 1000 experience points, and 10 experience points in alchemy.

"It's finally done." The fat man wiped the sweat from his head and refined a bottle of Emperor Wing Ant Venom potion. It actually took an hour.

Picking up the bottle and looking at it, there was a yellow-green liquid inside. The originally viscous medicinal solution now became diluted like water.

[Emperor-winged Ant Venom Potion]: It has a paralyzing function. When applied on weapons, it can cause people or monsters to lose all ability to move. It will not be broken when attacked. The duration is 10 seconds.

Seeing the properties of the potion, the fat man nodded a little. It was the same as what was described in the prescription, so it should be fine. Just refining a bottle of potion actually took more than an hour, just for the 10 seconds of paralysis, it seemed a little not worth it.

This idea just crossed his mind and was immediately dismissed by Fatty. Don’t think that just because you can be resurrected in the game, you can die casually. Each level up consumes a lot of energy, and dying casually means that all that energy is wasted, which is a shameful behavior.

After taking a rest, Fatty continued to refine the venom potion. For each refining, the alchemy technique had to be used dozens of times, but after success, only 10 points of alchemy experience were added, which made the fat man very depressed.

I logged off the line for breakfast, went out to exercise, and came back to continue refining. I worked hard all day, failed several times, and finally successfully refined 15 bottles of [Emperor-winged Ant Venom Potion].

Looking at the 15 bottles of potions lined up on the table, the fat man hit his sore waist with lingering fear. Sure enough, this kind of work is not for a rough guy like me, so I will try to do it as little as possible from now on.

He was tired, but looking at these 15 bottles of medicine that could paralyze the opponent for 10 seconds, Fatty still felt a great sense of accomplishment. With these potions in hand, Fatty made up his mind to go to Suzaku City and get back the basic Five Elements Escape Technique Fire Escape.
