In the alchemy room, time passed by every minute.
Gu Ding put various medicinal materials in a calm manner. Sometimes when encountering puzzles, several elders would ask questions, and Gu Ding would give detailed answers. The whole process is completely like a teacher teaching his disciples how to make alchemy.
With the refining of the elixir, the five elders admired Gu Ding more and more. His explanations were not exaggerated nonsense, but genuine talents and learning.
The refining of the first batch of elixir came to an end in the non-stop question and answer. At this time, the five elders finally calmed down. In fact, they didn't have too much expectation for this batch of elixir, because the five of them interfered with Gu Ding too many times, and Gu Ding had been focusing on two purposes throughout the refining process, and it was not normal until the refining was successful.
Closing the furnace is a relatively critical step. On the one hand, the elixir must be bred naturally, and the heat should not be too high, otherwise the elixir will explode. The heat cannot be insufficient, and the elixir cannot be conceived and formed if it is not enough. Moreover, the time when the elixir is released is also critical. If the elixir is released too early, it will be exposed to the outside air too early, and the elixir will be fried due to uneven heat and cold. If it is released too late, the potency of the elixir will dissipate and its properties will be greatly reduced.
And Gu Ding, at the final stage of closing the furnace, made another puzzling move. Not only did he not reduce the output of the flame, he even increased the output of the flame.
Under normal circumstances, during the closing stage, the flame is either reduced or completely turned off, so that the elixir can complete the final incubation, but I have never seen a fire added at the last moment.
The second elder was just about to ask, but was stared back by the great elder. At this critical moment, disturbing Gu Ding may lead to the failure of the refining. No matter what reason Gu Ding suddenly increased the flames, it would be too late to ask after the refining of the elixir was completed.
And Guding, after increasing the flame for twenty-five seconds, turned off the flame directly.
In the entire alchemy room, a strong medicinal fragrance began to disperse. When this medicinal fragrance is the strongest, it is the time for the elixir to conceive.
With his hands on his back, Gu Ding stared at the pill furnace motionlessly, as if turning into a statue.
The five elders also stared at the alchemy furnace, not even daring to take a breath.
About fifteen minutes later, Gu Ding's figure was suspended in mid-air, and he reached out to lift the lid of the furnace, but frowned slightly when he saw the pill in the furnace.
"Failed?!"
The five of them were in a low place, they couldn't see the scene inside the pill furnace, they could only see Gu Ding's expression. But looking at Gu Ding's expression, he didn't seem happy.
"After all, it's the first time refining, so it's normal to fail." The grand elder didn't know why, but felt relieved. "This elixir formula, our refining success rate can reach up to 20%."
"That's right, it would be too heaven-defying if the first furnace is done." Elder Er also nodded.
The Sanyuan elder was about to say something, but he saw Gu Ding stretch out his hand, and several golden spheres sank into Gu Ding's palm.
"Successful?!" Sanyuan Lao exclaimed, his voice made others look at Gu Ding's hand.
In Gu Ding's palm, there are five golden finished pills.
"It really succeeded? But why does little friend Gu Ding seem to be unhappy?" Er Yuan was puzzled.
"It stands to reason that the amount of medicinal materials you configure should be able to refine nine pills at most, but this time only five pills were produced. Moreover, the quality of the pills is not high, only good quality. I must be right There is a problem with the handling of those medicinal materials that I am not familiar with." Gu Ding still frowned slightly, as if recalling the refining process just now.
The five elders came together and began to observe the elixir in Gu Ding's hand up close.
The grading of elixir is simpler than medicine. The quality from low to high is: bad, ordinary, good, high quality, perfect, a total of five grades. Of course, in addition to these five levels, there is also a special level called Pill King. However, few people can refine this level of elixir. Even though there are many talented alchemists in the entire chaotic universe, there are only a handful of alchemists who can refine alchemy kings. Moreover, even if someone can refine the Alchemy King, it may only happen once or twice in a lifetime.
The first time Gu Ding refined the Dragon God Pill, he refined it to a good quality, and he made five pills at a time, which is actually quite a shocking achievement. It is not easy for someone to be able to refine a qualified product for the first time for this kind of new prescription.
"Take it for research. This quality is far from enough." Gu Ding hopes to refine the perfect quality Dragon God Pill for Mi Ke to take. He is worried that if it is not of perfect quality, the effect will not be good enough.
There were exactly five Dragon God Pills, one for each of the five elders. After getting the pills, the five of them retreated to the wall again to observe the pills.
Gu Ding turned on the fire again, heated the pill furnace, and started the refining of the second batch of pills.
For this refinement, the five elders did not bother them any more. They put away the Dragon God Pill in their hands and watched Guding's entire refinement process quietly.
The refining process was extremely smooth. Gu Ding readjusted the investment time for those few unfamiliar medicinal materials, but this time the refining effect was even worse than the first time. There are only three pills, and they are all of ordinary quality.
Gu Ding was very dissatisfied with this result, and then started the refining of the third batch of elixir.
Afterwards, Guding made adjustments one by one, and the quality and quantity of the pills finally began to improve.
When the thirty-first furnace was refined, nine pills were produced, and all of them were of high quality.
Seeing such a batch of pills, the eyes of the five elders lit up.
It took a total of two days to watch Gu Ding refine thirty-one batches of pills. During this period, Gu Ding only refined a defective product once, and all the others successfully refined finished pills.
For this success rate, the five elders were dumbfounded.
After the thirty-first batch of elixir, Gu Ding stopped refining the elixir for a while, and stared at the nine high-quality elixir with mental power for a long time before he put away the elixir and started a new round of elixir. Refining.
In the thirty-second batch of pills, Gu Ding made fine-tuning again. This time, among the pills, there were eight high-quality pills, and one was perfect quality!
On the golden pill of perfect quality, there are small stars, like decorations embedded in the pill.
Seeing the perfect quality of the elixir, the five elders were completely dumbfounded...
"Is this guy really a human?" The grand elder couldn't help but sigh.
"For a new elixir formula, the 32nd time it has been refined, it has a perfect quality... If it were us, it would be great if we could successfully refine a normal-quality finished elixir for the 32nd time."
"Looking at him, I feel like I've lived my life like a dog..." Elder Sanyuan couldn't help but scolded himself.
But Gu Ding still didn't have the slightest happy expression on his face, but continued to open the furnace to refine the next batch of elixir...
