Chapter 268: Falling Short of Success

Extracting a sufficient amount of tiger palm herbal liquid is only the first small step in refining Bigu Dan, and the next step is to condense three different medicinal liquids.

After a short rest, Xiao Chen took out a saffron and held it in his hand, trying to use his spiritual sense to make a spiritual connection with the saffron.

As soon as the mind moved, the green dot hidden in the mind formed a long green line like a small stream, which flowed out of the body through the meridians on the arm in an instant, and a green line invisible to the naked eye was connected to the bright saffron.

Immediately, a bright red space appeared in Xiao Chen's mind, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, close in front of his eyes, this time Xiao Chen had a deeper understanding of the inner space of the medicinal materials.

Those flowing red lines should be the medicinal properties contained in saffron. The node where they will eventually flow is the place where the medicinal properties of saffron are the most. Other places can be ignored during calcination.

After a while, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and relieved this strange state. After establishing a spiritual connection with the medicinal materials again, Xiao Chen had a vague understanding of the green dot in his mind.

This green dot may be the substantial spiritual core formed after the awakening of spiritual awakening, but I don't know what qualifications the mung bean-sized spiritual core in my mind is considered to be among alchemists.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Xiao Chen once again got lucky with Zilei Jue, summoned Zilei True Fire, and began to condense the medicinal liquid in saffron, condensing fifty drops of red medicinal liquid, and then condensed the medicinal liquids of star anise lotus and spearmint respectively , also fifty drops.

Looking at the four small porcelain bottles on the table, Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. The first step of refining Bigu Dan was finally completed, and half of the vitality in his body had been consumed.

The second step of congealing pills requires a lot of vitality support. If the vitality is insufficient at that time, all previous efforts will be wasted. Xiao Chen had to temporarily give up the second step, and began to slowly recover the exhausted vitality.

vitality! vitality!

At this moment, Xiao Chen's desire for vitality has become extremely realistic. If the vitality is sufficient, such troubles will not appear at all. This is just refining the most basic elixir. If the refining level is higher, there is no aura. Support, I am afraid that the first step will not last.

Half an hour later, Xiao Chen stopped practicing, and the vitality in his body had reached its peak state, which was enough for the second step of refining medicine.

Picking up the Qinglong Medicine Cauldron, Xiao Chen summoned the Zilei True Fire, and sent the flame burning on the palm of his hand into the fire inlet of the Qinglong Medicine Cauldron. The Purple Fire was burning violently in the cauldron. .

viscous liquid,

Under the calcination of Zilei's real fire, it kept churning, making non-stop sounds, and a faint fragrance came out from the cauldron, silently counting the time in his heart, one minute later, Xiao Chen sent the second The medicine was poured in.

Four minutes later, all the liquid medicine in the four porcelain bottles had been poured in, Xiao Chen put the lid on the cauldron, and tried his best to burn the Zilei True Fire in the cauldron.

The invisible line is connected to the Zilei True Fire in the cauldron, and the vitality in Xiao Chen's body is continuously transmitted through this line to the Zilei True Fire in the cauldron.

This is the shortcoming of not having spiritual consciousness. If Xiao Chen can practice Zilei Jue to the second level and cultivate spiritual consciousness, he can directly control the burning power of Zilei's real fire through his spiritual consciousness, far from consuming so much as it is now vitality.

In the Qinglong Medicine Cauldron, the four-color medicinal liquid kept tumbling, and finally slowly merged and entangled together, forming a chaotic viscous liquid that was constantly swirling. At this time, the medicinal fragrance in the room also began to become more intense.

Xiao Chen, who had no consciousness, could not see what was going on in the cauldron. He could only tell from the aroma from the cauldron that the four medicinal liquids in the cauldron had been fused together.

At this time, it is not possible to use fierce fire to calcine. It is necessary to follow the rotation direction of the liquid medicine, control the Zilei real fire to surround the liquid medicine far away, and slowly rotate around it, and the temperature of the flame will also drop.

The sweat on Xiao Chen's forehead kept coming out. This step consumes more vitality than the previous step of burning the medicinal liquid with fierce fire. Every time the flame rotates once, Xiao Chen feels that the vitality in his body has lost a lot. If you want to eat, if you accidentally run out of vitality, all previous efforts will be wasted.

When the fragrance of medicine in the house changed again, Xiao Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. There was still about one layer of vitality left in his body. The exhaustion of vitality that he was most worried about did not appear. This amount of vitality was enough to carry out the final stage of alchemy. One step away.

The chaotic medicinal liquid in the cauldron, under the slow calcination of the warm fire, has condensed into a rough ball-shaped pill embryo, and the faint fragrance is transmitted through the cauldron cover. As long as the last step of plasticity is completed, This bigu pill is done.

Xiao Chen untied the lid of the cauldron, and a more intense fragrance came out. Looking at the rough pill embryo in the cauldron, Xiao Chen was extremely relieved. For the first time refining medicine, he could reach this point completely, and there was no big one in the middle. Mistakes are already very gratifying.

If the last step can be perfectly successful, it will be even more satisfying. Xiao Chen's eyes became hot, but his mind was extremely calm. This last step is also the most important step, and no mistakes can be tolerated.

Controlling the Zilei real fire to rise slowly, the rough pill rose into the air along with the purple fire. Xiao Chen stretched out his right hand and the pill slowly descended to the palm of his hand along with the purple fire.

Time to get in shape!

Concentrating and holding his breath, Xiao Chen's two brows were furrowed together, which only happens when the spirit is in a state of high concentration.

Whoosh!

The pill was spinning rapidly in the flames, Xiao Chen didn't dare to let out a breath, the sweat on his forehead kept pouring down, the uneven pill began to become dizzy slowly, a trace of luster began to appear in the elixir. superior.

Until this time, the Bigu Pill could be regarded as a real pill. Xiao Chen pressed down with his palm fiercely, put the pill back into the medicine cauldron, closed the cauldron and started the final heating.

At this moment, Xiao Chen's mind still did not dare to relax in any way. It would not be considered a success until the moment the elixir was released, but there was no great risk at this time. Fan, this bigu pill is considered to be made.

"Second young master, supper is ready, do you want to eat?"

boom!

At this moment, Bao'er's voice suddenly came, causing Xiao Chen's concentration to become a little disordered. At the moment of distraction, the flame in the cauldron was not controlled well, and the pill that was about to be completed was shattered into pieces.

Another faucet of the Qinglong Medicine Cauldron slowly flows out the residue of a pill...

"Damn it, what are you doing here at this time!" Xiao Chen roared angrily at Bao'er who appeared outside the door.

After a lot of hard work, it finally came to the last moment when the pill was formed, and it was destroyed like this. Xiao Chen's mood was extremely bad. The sweat on his head and the expression of resentment made Xiao Chen's expression extremely terrifying. .

Bao'er, who was outside the door, looked at Xiao Chen who was yelling at her, and then glanced at the situation on the table, knowing that she had caused a catastrophe, her small face was pale with fright, her hands trembling while holding the supper stop.

Tears flowed out of his eyes, and he said in fear: "Second Young Master, I... I didn't mean to..."

Xiao Chen, whose vitality was exhausted and his mind was extremely weak, waved his hand impatiently, "Go out, you have nothing to do here."

...

After a long time, Xiao Chen, who had regained some physical strength, felt regretful in his heart. What happened to me? I lost my temper with a little girl after failing to refine a elixir. Do I really think I am a young master?

With such little strength and status, the temper is so big, so what is the difference between me and those dudes of the Zhang family? The refining of a elixir just failed. It's nothing to be angry with a little girl.

The more Xiao Chen thought about it, the more he felt that he had done something wrong. He got up and walked towards the room where Bao'er was. The light in Bao'er's room was still on. Standing in front of the door, Xiao Chen could hear the slight sobbing sound coming from inside.

squeak!

He pushed the door lightly, maybe because he came back in a hurry, the door of Bao'er's room was not bolted, so he just pushed it open gently.

Bao'er, who was sitting by the bed, looked at Xiao Chen who pushed the door and entered, quickly wiped the tears from his eyes a few times, and said tremblingly: "Second young master...why are you here, just now I...I really Not intentional."

Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, such a simple little wolf, you are really not a thing to scare others like this, Xiao Chen scolded himself in his heart.

On the way to apologize, when it came to his lips, he was too embarrassed to say it. Xiao Chen looked at the supper on the table, a bowl of squid porridge, and said: "Um, I'm here for supper Yes, let's take a look at you."

After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he picked up the squid porridge on the table, drank and ate it, and it tasted good. Normally, the kitchen would not serve supper at this time, and it should be made by Bao'er himself.

"It's delicious, did you make it yourself?"

"Well, my craft is very good. I learned it from my mother when I was a child." Bao'er replied in a low voice.

Looking at Xiao Chen, who seemed to be drinking porridge quite happily, Bao'er asked cautiously: "Second young master, are you still angry with me?"

"born!"

Xiao Chen put the bowl heavily on the table, with an extremely serious expression on his face, Bao'er started to jump up and down again with his heart hanging.

"Just kidding you, I'm mad at you for making too little squid porridge tonight, and I'll punish you for making an extra bowl tomorrow." Xiao Chen smiled suddenly.

Baoer Lihua showed a joyful smile on her rainy face, and said in disbelief, "Really?"

Xiao Chen got up and walked towards Bao'er, wiped away the remaining tears on her face, and said sincerely: "Really, the squid porridge you made is delicious, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you just now, don't worry too much Think about it, sleep well." ()
