Chapter 461 Method

"What exactly went wrong?"

Li Zhirui frowned as he looked at the failed furnace of Jin-Jin Dan in front of him.

The monarch and his ministers assist each other, and the medicinal properties are harmonious. Everything is obviously in line with the principles of alchemy, and logically speaking, there is no possibility of conflict.

And during the process of refining the elixir, he did activate Jinzhi and Tianqingguo, which have special medicinal effects that increase the probability of elixir formation.

But when the essence of the elixir was fused, a violent explosion suddenly broke out!

"Is it because the medicine is too powerful?" Li Zhirui said whimsically.

But in fact, Li Zhirui's Jinjie elixir, which was made with Tianqing fruit and Jinzhi as its main ingredients, was only slightly more effective than the ordinary Jinjie elixir.

If the ordinary gold-forming elixir can increase the probability of forming a pill by 30%, then the one Li Zhirui refined is only 35%, and it cannot be the failure caused by this ridiculous reason.

As for Li Zhirui's alchemy level, after training with the Blue Sky Treasure Pill and the Chiyang Treasure Pill, he has become a true fourth-level alchemy master.

Moreover, the Golden Formation Pill is only a third-level elixir. Even if it is a little more difficult to refine, it is still far behind compared to the fourth-level elixir.

It's not that Li Zhirui is arrogant, but he can definitely say that the key point of failure does not lie with him.

"Then there is only one possibility." Thinking of this, Li Zhirui frowned even deeper.

All other elixirs were determined after many tests, except for the two main medicines Jinzhi and Tianqingguo!

Because they are relatively rare, Li Zhirui doesn't have much inventory on hand, so there is no actual testing between them!

Because whether it is Jinzhi or Tianqing fruit, tens of thousands of spiritual stones are needed to ripen it once.

But the spiritual stones in Li Zhirui's hands now simply cannot withstand such a heavy consumption.

Therefore, Li Zhirui just judged that there would be no conflict between the two spiritual substances based on the medicinal properties of the two elixirs and his own knowledge and records, and then began to refine the elixir.

But now it seems that is not the case.

In order to find out the reason, Li Zhirui could only take out Tianqingguo and Jinzhi and start testing.

First refine the two spiritual objects, then use spiritual consciousness to penetrate them, and then slowly fuse them to make it easier to observe where the conflict is.

"boom!"

Although Li Zhirui deliberately controlled the fusion speed of the two spiritual fluids, within a quarter of an hour, they could no longer hold back and exploded!

Fortunately, Li Zhirui found the reason for the failure in this little time.

The key medicinal effect of Jin Zhi, which can increase the probability of pill formation, is very 'sharp' and 'strong', which is beyond his expectation.

As a result, the Tianqing Fruit could not contain it and was 'pierced' instead, thus causing the alchemy to fail.

The solution is actually not difficult, just weaken the Jinzhi or enhance the medicinal effect of Tianqingguo.

But if you do this, it will undoubtedly lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of the Jinjie Dan.

By then, let alone increasing the chance of forming a pill by 35%, there is no way to determine whether it can be 30% or not, because that is the core medicinal property of Jinzhi.

And if this is the case, then the Jinjin elixir created by Li Zhirui this time can be said to be a failed elixir.

After all, the most basic concept of alchemy is to use the minimum cost to refine the elixir with the maximum profit.

If we use that simple and crude solution, although it is very simple and convenient, is there any big difference between it and taking two elixirs directly?

After thinking hard, Li Zhirui couldn't think of a good way, so he could only put the matter aside for the time being and slowly think of a solution.

After walking out of the alchemy room, the entire cave was very quiet. Jiang Fengwu was working hard for the secret realm in the future. Li Chengshuo had not returned from his training outside, and Li Chengsheng was in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, taking care of the group of young Chaoyangcrows.

Li Zhirui has become accustomed to this, because loneliness is the main theme of monks.

And for the secret realm in the near future, the Li family is now becoming busy.

A large number of tribesmen contributed their own efforts to this end.

Li Zhirui, who had nothing to do, went to visit Li Shiqing, hoping to find out from his mouth how the family was preparing.

"Why do you have time to come to see me, a bad old man?" Li Shiqing joked in surprise when he saw that the person coming was Li Zhirui.

Although he didn't know what Li Zhirui had been busy with recently, he hadn't appeared for a long time. He must have had something important to do. How could he have time to see him now?

"I encountered a problem that couldn't be solved for the time being in alchemy, so I thought of going out to relax." Li Zhirui sighed softly.

Li Shiqing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I'm actually still stumped. What's the recipe for you, a fourth-level alchemy master?"

"Doesn't the family have two elixir-forming elixirs, Tianqingguo and Jinzhi? I just want to use them as the main medicine to refine a new elixir."

"But I thought the problem was too simple." Li Zhirui shook his head and said: "The medicinal properties of Jinzhi and Tianqingguo conflict too much. Although it can be solved simply and crudely, this approach is different from direct Taking two elixirs is almost the same, there is no need to waste other elixirs."

Li Shiqing listened quietly and did not express an opinion. After all, he did not know much about alchemy, and he also knew that Li Zhirui just wanted to find someone to vent to.

"It doesn't matter, just take your time. If you succeed, it will be a great thing for the family!"

Li Shiqing expressed relief and changed the subject, "Come, try a way of eating that I accidentally discovered."

With that said, he took out two second-level spiritual fruits, one red and one blue, from the storage ring.

"If these two spiritual fruits are eaten alone, there is nothing outstanding, but if they are eaten together, they will magically burst into a very delicious taste in the mouth!"

Li Zhirui was stunned when he heard these words.

"Zhirui? What's wrong with you?"

Li Shiqing didn't hear Li Zhirui's answer for a long time, so he raised his head and glanced at him, only to find that he seemed to be stupid.

"Yes! Why didn't I think of this?!"

Li Zhirui said something incoherently, and then stood up suddenly.

"Hahahahahaha, thank you Grandpa Er for the reminder!"

"Huh?" At this moment, Li Shiqing was confused.

"It's the spiritual fruit you mentioned taking at the same time!"

Li Zhirui said excitedly: "Since the two elixirs conflict too much and cannot be fused, and I don't want to weaken the effect of the golden elixir, I can refine them separately into elixirs!"

"When the time comes, if we take them together, or take them one after another, they should have the same effect as the Golden Pill!"

Of course, this method cannot be as simple as Li Zhirui said.

But at least it gave him a clear and better direction.

In fact, what Li Zhirui didn't know was that this method of dividing one elixir into two, or even three, or even more elixirs due to conflicting medicinal properties had already existed!

It's just that it's too niche and rarely spread to the outside world.
