Chapter 123: Soup-Making and Alchemy!

It has to be said that mastery passive skills are really like cheating. The knowledge they forcefully instill in you can save a lot of practice time.

This is the case with the fire control in "Cooking Mastery". The proficiency that should have been accumulated through sweat now feels like it has been immersed in it for many years.

Xu Xiaoshou lit a compressed fire seed under the alchemy cauldron, and the virtual flame burned. The herbs on it sizzled and quickly burned into ashes.

However, a drop of condensed medicinal liquid was successfully left behind!

He was overjoyed. It was only once and it was successful?

According to Mr. Sang's experience, after refining the mountains of elixir in his ring, it would be good to be able to successfully produce a drop of medicinal liquid.

How many resources have I saved!

Xu Xiaoshou was excited.

He tried a few more times, constantly switching between various heat levels, and never failed even once!

"Perfect state!"

Xu Xiaoshou wrapped the medicinal liquid with spiritual essence, dragged it into the alchemy cauldron, and took out the "elic condensation technique" that Mr. Sang had just given him.

What was recorded in it was the very crude "Jinzhao Condensing Pill Technique". It was the same as the two alchemy techniques Xu Xiaoshou had seen Sang Lao make, which involved directly condensing the medicinal liquid and finally baking it into an elixir.

It doesn’t require the help of ordinary alchemists’ seals, spiritual formations, or other techniques. There are no special skills at all, just one word, roast!

"How domineering, this flame..."

In addition to the "Jinzhao Condensation Pill Technique", there are two pill prescriptions in it, the Red Gold Pill and the Spirit Refining Pill, both of which Xu Xiaoshou has taken.

One is the tenth grade, and the other is the ninth grade.

Xu Xiaoshou scanned the tenth-grade red gold elixir. The elixir contained in it was in his ring, so he could use it for practice.

It was only a matter of time before he could refine the medicinal solution. He tried to do it twice and found that he succeeded.

I tried refining three elixirs at the same time, but it was a bit too much.

After reluctantly taking it down, there was no need to try to use it all at once, and he just walked at the rate of three medicines at a time.

Only then did he realize how powerful Mr. Sang was. He could blend hundreds of elixirs together and be able to refine and even classify them all without fail.

"Well, don't rush, take your time, it's just the beginning..."

He calmed down, and as time went by, all sixty-four acquired elixirs needed for the Red Gold Pill were refined.

The total amount of medicinal liquid is only about the size of a fist, which is naturally incomparable to the size of a human head extracted by Mr. Sang. He was refining multiple elixirs at the same time.

"Jinzhao Condensing Pill Technique" emphasizes killing with one strike. Through the instantaneous increase in temperature, the surface is charred and the inside is condensed, thus forming a pill!

But one is not quite...

"Chi~"

Xu Xiaoshou looked at the empty alchemy cauldron. The medicinal liquid that took a lot of effort to refine had all evaporated at this time...

"Damn it, it really doesn't work. I thought it would succeed all of a sudden!"

Don't be discouraged. It should be a process where practice makes perfect. Xu Xiaoshou felt that he had taken a big shortcut.

"continue!"

…

Under the setting sun, after more than ten attempts, Xu Xiaoshou was able to condense a pill the size of a soybean.

"This should be considered half a tenth-grade alchemist!"

The progress was unexpectedly fast, but Xu Xiaoshou was still not satisfied.

Although this thing can be eaten and has some minor uses, the process of condensing the elixir wastes too much liquid, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Another way?"

"Instead of the 'Jinzhao Condensing Pill Technique', use...'Culinary Proficiency'?"

Xu Xiaoshou looked strange, not because this method didn't work, but on the contrary, when the inspiration flashed, his brain felt like being pricked by a needle, and many thoughts poured out in an instant.

Why are they so weird?

He felt a bit toothache, but he would not give up until he gave it a try. Maybe it would have a miraculous effect?

Just do it!

The steps for refining the liquid medicine were still the same. After the time-consuming and laborious completion, Xu Xiaoshou did not use the "Ember Light Condensing Pill Technique", but chose the most reliable solution in his mind, which was to "boil the flame with a slow fire" state.

Soup making, alchemy!

I don’t know if my idea can be successful...

Xu Xiaoshou felt a little excited in his heart. If this could really happen, wouldn't he have made history? Will it lead a new alchemy trend in the future?

"GuluGulu~"

The medicinal liquid rolled in waves, and the thick spiritual mist was evaporated, and became dense on the surface of the alchemy cauldron.

Although the top of the alchemy cauldron is empty, it is covered by a formation to ensure that the medicinal properties are not lost. This is why Xu Xiaoshou dared to adopt the "Soup Making Flow".

The spiritual mist flows back and is continuously absorbed into the original medicinal solution. As time goes by, the medicinal solution becomes less and less.

"Collect juice..."

The sight of this golden and red viscous medicinal liquid made Xu Xiaoshou a little hungry. He looked out the window. Night had fallen. This pot of soup...

Ahem, this cauldron of medicinal liquid has been brewing for several hours.

When all the medicinal properties have been recovered, a drop of red-gold liquid appears in the cauldron... No, this can no longer be regarded as a liquid. It is between a semi-solid and semi-liquid form, and is very flexible.

There is no exciting moment to condense the elixir, everything is a natural "soup flow".

Xu Xiaoshou pulled out this drop of "red gold liquid" and held it in the palm of his hand. He felt that its medicinal properties were much more mellow than the ordinary red gold elixir!

With excitement in his heart, he took out the hidden pain and stabbed the sword into his palm.

Blood flowed out, and "Endless Life" took effect crazily, but Xu Xiaoshou waited until he had absorbed the "Red Gold Liquid" into his stomach before pulling out the black sword.

A breath later.

The young man clamped his elbows between his ribs, his knees touched each other, his shoulders were high, and he collapsed to the ground with his head tilted.

"Giggle, giggle..."

The medicinal properties of this Red Gold Liquid were several times more terrifying than the Red Gold Pill.

He originally thought that his drug resistance was strong enough, but he still couldn't take on this wave of pleasure.

After several breaths, Xu Xiaoshou gradually recovered, but found that the wound on the palm had disappeared, and there was still a lot of drug power remaining in his body.

He stabbed it again, and the drug power swarmed to the wound, instantly repairing it without leaving any scars.

"It's amazing, this drop of Red Gold Liquid is probably equivalent to more than ten Red Gold Pills!"

He had eaten Red Gold Pills, so he knew the value of Red Gold Liquid even more. It seems that his research was not only successful, but also greatly broke through the upper limit of Red Gold Pills?

"This is just the Red Gold Pill. If the future Spiritual Pill and Yuanting Pill can use the 'Aotangliu' to make similar pills..."

Xu Xiaoshou opened his mouth wide, and the light of money flashed in his eyes.

"I'm rich, I'm rich!"

He suddenly thought that the "Aotangliu" alchemy not only did not have the last step of condensing the pill, but its effect after the drop was formed was likely to depend on the amount of spiritual medicine at the time of boiling.

Thinking in this way, it seems that I can cause qualitative change through quantitative change?

For example, if I put in a few more portions of medicinal materials, but only condensed one drop of liquid medicine, then the effect of this drop must be higher than the one I just swallowed!

"Very likely!"

"However, the alchemy has been developed for so long, there should be someone who has thought of the 'Aotangliu' method, but failed to carry it forward?"

Xu Xiaoshou pondered, he didn't believe that he was the only one who thought of this method, there must be other geniuses who would have similar ideas in a flash of inspiration.

"Could it be difficult to preserve?"

Several judgments flashed through his mind, and he finally decided to wait until the "Jinzhao Dan Condensation Technique" was completed before asking Elder Sang.

If he thought about it blindly, he might not be able to figure it out, and he might even think in the wrong direction, and it would be more trouble than it would take to go astray.

"Only the 'Jinzhao Dan Condensation Technique' is left..."

Xu Xiaoshou must learn this thing, even if he has to fight to the death.

Although he can continue to think about the "Aotangliu", he cannot lose the essential techniques of alchemy, after all, the outside world only recognizes elixirs.

If he takes out a drop of liquid medicine, no one will buy it!

Xu Xiaoshou's face showed determination.

"Learn it in three days!"
