Chapter 116 Learning Alchemy

The first key to alchemy is to learn to control fire.

Before alchemy, Ling Xiao's first warm-up exercise was to practice fire control.

I saw a small fire rising from his hands, the small fire was red and scorching hot, big and small, very agile like a spirit snake.

"Alchemy is very particular about the heat. If it is too big or too small, it will lead to the failure of alchemy, so you must master it as you like before you can start alchemy." Ling Xiao looked at the two small fires in his palm and muttered to himself .

It took Ling Xiao two days to practice fire control alone. He felt that he could really master the fire before entering the real state of alchemy.

Ling Xiao took out the medicine cauldron from the space ring, and took out an emerald green spiritual grass. The stems and leaves of this spiritual grass are very delicate, and it seems that it will be damaged with a little force.

This is the morning dew grass, the main medicinal material for refining Huiludan, which has an excellent recovery effect on the body's muscle energy.

Ling Xiao took a breath, threw the morning dew grass into the medicine cauldron, and then the flame in his hand quickly burned towards the medicine cauldron.

Ling Xiao has long memorized the "Alchemy Jue" in his heart, and knows that refining medicine must control the heat very well. The first step is to extract the essence of the medicinal power of the spirit grass.

In the beginning, Ling Xiao was still heating up slowly, and the morning dew grass was gradually wilting and concentrating.

"It's almost there." Seeing this situation, Ling Xiao couldn't help but fluctuate a little, and the flames couldn't help but intensify.

hereby...

In just an instant, the morning dew grass that was about to extract its essence from the medicine cauldron was immediately scorched.

Ling Xiao looked at his palms with drooping face and said to himself, "Don't get excited, don't get excited, keep your heart as clear as ice, and don't be shocked by the sky...".

Ling Xiao calmed down again, adjusted his mentality, and threw another morning dew grass into the medicine cauldron, and slowly heated the medicine cauldron according to the points mentioned in "Alchemy Art".

I saw the morning dew grass, just like before, slowly extracting its essence, gradually turning into a milky white shape.

Ling Xiao was concentrating on it without any fluctuation in his expression.

Just after the morning dew grass turned into a small ball of milky white.

Ling Xiao's palm trembled, and the flame was a little hotter than before.

Peng!

The essence of the morning dew grass has been completely extracted, and the floating white shape is crystal clear, pure and white.

Ling Xiao didn't dare to be careless, and isolated the essence, and then threw in another auxiliary spirit grass, and the flame rose again.

After condensing the essence of four spirit grasses in a row, Ling Xiao's forehead was covered with fine sweat, which shows that alchemy is not an easy task.

Sure enough, when it was time for the fifth spiritual herb, Ling Xiao didn't hold the fire properly and burned another spiritual herb.

Facing the damaged spiritual grass, Ling Xiao no longer had any fluctuations, and put in the same spiritual grass to start condensing.

He extracted the essence of each spirit grass, but he also destroyed six spirit grasses before he could extract all the spirit grass needed to return to Ludan.

But don't be too happy, this is just the first basic step of alchemy.

"Damn, this work is really tiring." Ling Xiao not only felt that his profound strength was wasted, but also felt very tired mentally.

Although he complained, he would not give up easily in anything he did. This was the first element for him to become a strong man.

Next, came the step of separating and combining the essence of each spirit herb. This step is the most difficult step, and it is also the key step for success.

Ling Xiao followed the order stated in the "Alchemy Jue", first put the essence of the morning dew grass in the middle, centered on it, and then concentrated the essence of other spirit grasses one by one.

Ling Xiao provided the source of fire while exercising energy.

At this time, it is time to increase the heat, and the essence of each spirit grass must be melted and kneaded together.

Unexpectedly, just as Ling Xiao increased his firepower, an explosion sounded.

Peng!

A cloud of thick gray smoke rose from the medicine cauldron.

"Cough cough!" Even Ling Xiao couldn't react in time. His face was blasted by the thick smoke, and his pale and handsome face turned into black charcoal. When he coughed, smoke came from his mouth, and he looked very ugly Funny embarrassment.

"It's all right now, this young master has turned into a black carbon head. I don't believe that this small first-order pill can be so rare to defeat this young master." Ling Xiao laughed at himself, then encouraged himself, and started to extract again Spirit grass essence.

With the experience he extracted just now, Ling Xiao only lost two stalks of spiritual grass, and he condensed all the spiritual herbs.

Next comes the integration step.

Ling Xiao took a few deep breaths, calmed his mind, and concentrated the spirit grass essence again.

Now Ling Xiaoyan didn't dare to add too much at once.

However, it failed again, because the heat was not enough, and the essence dissipated without fusion, but it was not as miserable as the last explosion, this time it was considered good luck.

Ling Xiao had to start all over again.

Immediately afterwards, a third failure soon followed, and it continued.

Failed for the fourth time.

Fifth failure.

...

It wasn't until the eighth time that Ling Xiao fused the spirit grass together.

The second step is finally passed.

But don't think that this is considered as the alchemy, there is a third step, which is the most difficult step "condensing the alchemy".

Ling Xiao was engrossed and concentrated to the extreme. Sweat kept rolling down his face, but he still didn't notice it. He kept the key in mind, first increase the flame and increase the temperature, and then cut off the fire source to cool the condensed pill.

One more second will not work in this process, nor will it be less than one second. You must hold on to the time.

Ling Xiao's emotions fluctuated slightly, and he sipped softly, "Condensate me", withdrew the flame with one hand, and pressed it with profound strength with the other hand.

call out!

The spirit grass essence that had already been fused together instantly fused together and turned into three pills.

"It's done!" Ling Xiao was overjoyed, and immediately took out the elixir.

I saw that the color of the elixir was much different from the elixir he usually took, and it seemed to have a burnt smell, and it was not as round and natural as the real elixir, so it didn't look like an elixir.

Ling Xiao comforted himself and said, "It's not bad, it's not too bad for Ningdan to achieve this result for the first time."

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, the three pills fell down and turned into a powdery mass.

"No way, I... the result of my hard work for a long time has become like this?" Ling Xiao's face drooped, his eyes were about to cry, and the pill was ruined after a little complacency. Hit people.

"Damn it, could it be that this young man, Tianbin, can't do it? I don't believe in this evil anymore. I can't make alchemy." Ling scolded with a smile, and didn't continue to make alchemy, but sat down cross-legged to recover.

At the same time, he recalled the tips and tricks mentioned in "Alchemy Jue", which said that some exclusive techniques are extremely beneficial to alchemy, not only can increase the speed, but also increase the success rate, but this technique is somewhat difficult to use.

After Ling Xiao recovered, he was not in a hurry to make alchemy, but recalled the "Yao Zong" exclusive alchemy method "flame shadow hand" mentioned in "Alchemy Art".

The flame shadow hand is divided into seven, seven, four and nine phantoms. The hand is red like a cloud of fire. The fast phantom is mainly used to manipulate the flame. Each shadow is controlling a different size of the flame, that is, controlling the temperature of the fire. .

As long as you practice the flame shadow hand well, you can control the heat as you like, and it can also greatly increase the speed of alchemy. This is the exclusive secret of "Yaozong" alchemy.

Ling Xiao attentively comprehended the formulas and tricks of Yanyingshou, and immediately entered the realm of forgetting both things and me.

I saw him with his eyes closed, his expression solemn, his hands gradually spreading out, and slowly moving them.

The movements of the hands changed from slow to fast, and gradually countless shadows of hands were flying around following certain trajectories.

If someone sees it at this moment, they will only feel dazzled, and they will not be able to tell which one of these is the real palm.

Ling Xiao didn't know how long he would keep this state. He knew that the Flame Shadow Hand seemed to be some kind of superior palm technique, which was similar to the Paiyun Palm, but its use was completely different.

The power of Paiyun Palm explodes astonishingly, while the Flame Shadow Hand lasts forever, unstoppable and unpredictable.

Ling Xiao opened his eyes, with a look of enlightenment in the tiger's eyes, and muttered to himself, "Seventy-seven forty-nine phantom hands do have their own way, as long as they are familiar with the use, it is very convenient and quick for extracting the essence of medicinal power." There are many, and it also has a significant effect on condensing pills."

Ling Xiao learned the Flame Shadow Hand in just one night. In addition to his extremely high comprehension, the main reason is that he had learned Paiyun Palm before and used it very skillfully. Very easy to use.

Ling Xiao couldn't wait to verify whether the Flame Shadow Hand was really so easy to use.

He threw a stalk of Morning Dew Grass into the medicine cauldron, and the flame shadow technique immediately came out, and a ball of flame fuel that was suppressed just right was around the medicine cauldron.

Afterwards, Ling Xiao changed repeatedly according to the palm technique of Yanying's hand, and the heat was also changed from big to small, and he controlled it as he wanted.

Sure enough, the essence of a morning dew grass was extracted quickly.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Xiao continued to refine other spirit herbs.

With the help of Flame Shadow Hand, the speed has more than doubled compared to before.

However, Ling Xiao thinks that this is not the fastest speed. As long as the flame shadow hand is practiced to the extreme and can create seven to forty-nine phantoms at the same time, the speed of alchemy will be at least ten times faster than it is now.

After the essence is extracted, it's fusion again.

With previous experience, the integration is also quite smooth.

Finally, it came to the moment of congealing the pill.

Ling Xiao hit twenty-four palms in a row, and the flame burned extremely violently on the medicine cauldron, and then cut off the flame.

"Ning!" Ling Xiao yelled and suppressed his profound strength.

After a while, the essence of the spirit grass was divided into five parts, and finally synthesized, the pill was completed!

Ling Xiao picked it up carefully, looking at the five round and smooth pills, a fragrant medicinal smell came to his nostrils.

"Haha, it's a success this time!" Ling Xiao laughed loudly, and immediately took out the medicine pill bottle and filled the five back pills.

Generally, for low-level pills, ten pills can be made out of one batch. For example, Ling Xiao can make five pills this time, which means that half of the medicine's properties are still wasted.

However, this number is slightly better than that of ordinary alchemists.

If other pharmacists saw that this guy had only learned alchemy for a few days, successfully congealed alchemy for the first time, and was able to refine five elixirs, they would immediately exclaim that he was a genius.
