Chapter 127 Alchemy Genius (1/2)
"You have been learning alchemy with me for almost two months. I have taught you all the basic theoretical knowledge and alchemy techniques."
"But theory is theory. If you don't practice it yourself, it will never become your own thing."
"Starting today, you will start alchemy."
In an alchemy room on the second floor of Guiyuan Sect's Alchemy Pavilion, Hu Meirou directed Li Yan and Lin Shihua to preheat and warm the alchemy furnace.
The alchemy furnaces in front of the two were all new alchemy furnaces that Hu Meirou applied to the sect two days ago.
At the same time, next to each of them, there were 100 processed medicinal materials for refining [Qi Xue Dan].
The medicinal materials were placed in a special alchemy wooden box. The wooden box was divided into five layers, with 21 grids on each layer. The grid in the lower right corner was round, and the other grids were rectangular.
In the rectangular grid, a portion of medicinal materials that can be used to refine [Qi Xue Dan] were neatly placed, which would be very convenient for the alchemist to use when refining the alchemy.
In the circular grid is a can of [Alchemy Protective Liquid]. All medicinal materials put into the alchemy furnace need to be soaked in [Alchemy Protective Liquid], so the place where the [Alchemy Protective Liquid] is placed is the most convenient place for the alchemist.
Of course, if you are left-handed, you need to make a custom-made wooden box for alchemy if you want a convenient alchemy box.
"After the alchemy furnace is warmed up, you should start putting the medicinal materials in."
"Remember what I taught you, before putting the medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace, you must soak them completely in the Alchemy Protective Liquid for a breath of time."
Under the guidance of Hu Meirou, Li Yan and Lin Shihua picked up the tweezers for picking up medicinal materials, picked up a piece of [Blood Maple Leaf] and soaked it in the [Alchemy Protective Liquid].
[Alchemy Protective Liquid] is a very magical liquid, which is milky white overall, but when the medicinal materials are soaked in it, when they are taken out, the surface of the medicinal materials is not dyed white, only a layer of transparent and clear film tightly covers the medicinal materials.
Li Yan and the other man moved their fingers, and the lid of the furnace was lifted by the thin wire above it. Then the two of them quickly put the medicinal materials into the furnace.
With the lid of the furnace closed, the alchemy officially began.
"This is your first time to make an elixir. You must have a good mentality. Even if you fail, it doesn't matter. You have a hundred chances."
Hu Meirou said comfortingly after the two began to make an elixir.
Of course, there is one thing she didn't say.
With a hundred chances, the faster the success of the elixir, the higher the success rate, and the attention and training you will get in the future will be different.
Alchemy is a job that requires talent, and talent is often intuitively displayed when a newcomer makes an elixir for the first time.
Those with good talent may fail more than a dozen times, or even a few times, and then master the trick of alchemy and succeed in one fell swoop.
And those with poor talent may need dozens of attempts.
As a force, you will choose to focus on training that person.
Is it a high-talented alchemist who can get rich rewards as long as he burns resources.
Or a low-talented alchemist who still makes little progress even if he burns a lot of resources.
This is a multiple-choice question that even a fool can answer.
Of course, talent is important for alchemists, and resources are also important.
In history, there are alchemists with low talent who eventually became world-famous alchemy masters.
However, looking through the resumes of these alchemists, it can be found that these counterattack alchemists either have a very powerful force behind them or have a destiny that defies the heavens.
"Failed."
Lin Shihua felt the burnt medicinal materials in the alchemy furnace and was discouraged.
This was her third failure, and she was stuck in extracting the essence of the fourth medicinal material.
After this failure, she did not continue to refine, but looked at Li Yan on the side.
At this time, Li Yan had extracted the essence of all the previous eight auxiliary medicines and began to extract the essence of the main medicine.
Once this step was completed, Li Yan's alchemy this time would be half successful.
"No way, Li Yan is so amazing, although he has learned the theory very well and is much better at [alchemy] than me, it can't be so exaggerated."
"He can successfully make a pill in his first try?"
Lin Shihua's eyes were full of disbelief.
Afterwards, she stopped making pills and just watched Li Yan making pills. She wanted to know if Li Yan was such a genius.
Even more shocked than her was the beautiful young woman Hu Meirou.
When Li Yan extracted the essence of the last main material, her rosy lips opened slightly.
"There are such geniuses in the world."
Unlike Lin Shihua, a rookie among alchemy apprentices, Hu Meirou is a senior alchemy apprentice and has trained many alchemy apprentices.
Her insights and knowledge of alchemy are not comparable to Lin Shihua.
It is precisely because of this that she can better understand how talented Li Yan is to achieve this step.
"Elder Xia Lingshuang, when he first tried to make an elixir, he failed six times before he succeeded."
"And the most talented person in the history of Guiyuan Sect only failed three times."
"Could it be that today, I can witness the birth of a history of Guiyuan Sect?"
Thinking of this, the shock in Hu Meirou's eyes gradually mixed with a hint of excitement.
Soon, a wisp of medicinal fragrance floated out from the alchemy furnace in front of Li Yan.
"This is, it succeeded in one try!"
Although the two women had been mentally prepared, they still couldn't believe it at this time.
Hu Meirou didn't wait for Li Yan to make a move, she immediately showed her energy and blood, wrapped her hands, and opened the lid of the hot alchemy furnace.
"It's really, really successful, and the elixir success rate has reached 30%."
Holding three still hot [Qi and Blood Pills], Hu Meirou could no longer contain the excitement in her eyes.
"Senior sister, have I succeeded?"
Li Yan asked in a Mengxin-like tone.
“It worked, and it was still very successful.”
"By the way, how did you successfully refine [Qi-Blood Pill] in one go? Tell me honestly, have you ever refined Qi-Blood Pill before?"
After the excitement, Hu Meirou's mind began to calm down, so she asked with some suspicion.
In fact, she had never seen this kind of talent displayed by Li Yan. She had only seen it in the life experiences of some alchemy masters and alchemy masters.
"How did you succeed in refining it? I don't know. I just practiced it as you taught me, senior sister. I practiced it and it became a success."
"It went so smoothly. It was not as difficult as you said, senior sister. I thought I did it wrong. But now it seems that it was your good intentions, senior sister."
"Deliberately exaggerating the difficulty of alchemy is to encourage us to study hard and prevent us from slacking off."
Li Yan looked at Hu Meirou seriously, and the gratitude in his eyes made Hu Meirou very confused.
"Did I ever think so?"
When Lin Shihua on the side mentioned this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at Li Yan.
"It's obvious that your talent is too good. What do you mean by deliberately exaggerating the difficulty? It's not good at all."
How difficult it is, doesn’t she, a person who has just failed three times, not understand?
She felt that it would be impossible to successfully refine the first potion of elixir in her life without more than twenty or thirty failures.
"As for your question, Senior Sister, whether I have refined Qi and Blood Pills before, I can assure you, Senior Sister, that my hands have never touched an alchemy furnace before today."
Li Yan answered very seriously and firmly.
In reality, as he said, it was indeed the first time today that his clone's hands came into contact with the alchemy furnace.
As for the other clones and the main body, they have been refining pills like crazy for more than a month.
Li Yan could only say, what does this have to do with my clone.
That's why he could be so confident when he said this.
"Okay, I believe you, Junior Brother Li Yan."
"However, one success does not mean that you have mastered the refining of Qi and Blood Pills. If you want to skillfully refine a large number of Qi and Blood Pills, you still need to have a stable success rate and an average number of pills."
Hu Meirou finally calmed down completely at this time and spoke to Li Yan in a serious voice.
"Senior sister, what is the success rate and the average number of elixirs that must be reached to master the Qi and Blood elixirs?"
"The success rate must reach 40%, and the average number of pills produced must reach four, in order to earn money."
"As long as you can earn money from the elixir you refine, you can truly master the refining of this elixir."
Hu Meirou answered Li Yan's questions seriously.
"Okay, senior sister, can I continue refining the elixir? I want to see if I have mastered the refining of this qi and blood elixir."
Li Yan was eager to try.
"Okay, these hundred medicinal materials are all prepared for you, feel free to use them."
Hu Meirou replied with a smile.
"By the way, Junior Sister Lin, you can continue to make alchemy."
At this moment, Hu Meirou seemed to notice the existence of Lin Shihua.
This made the resentment in Lin Shihua's eyes almost overflow.
"That's good, then I'll continue to make alchemy."
"Also, Lin Shihua, come on."
After encouraging Lin Shihua, Li Yan devoted all his energy to making alchemy.
Today, Li Yan's success rate in refining [Qi and Blood Pills] has reached an astonishing 80%, and the average number of pills produced is seven.
Of course, it is impossible for him to show such an exaggerated success rate and average number of pills.
He wants to be an alchemy genius, not a monster.
Talent is something if you are one step ahead of others, you are a genius, and you will receive attention and a lot of resources.
If you take more than two steps, it will cause other people to be jealous.
People will always have fear and fear of unknown things.
In the end, Li Yan spent five hours refining fifty medicinal materials.
The success rate is as high as 45%, and the average number of elixirs produced is slightly less than 40%.
To sum up, according to Guiyuan Sect's standards, he has mastered the refining of [Qi and Blood Pill].
"I'm going to inform Elder Xia Lingshuang, please wait here."
After saying that, Hu Meirou stood up and walked out of the alchemy room, leaving Li Yan and Lin Shihua staring with big eyes.
Hu Meirou watched the entire process of Li Yan's fifty times of refining elixirs, watching Li Yan go from being young and a little clumsy to now being more at ease.
In her eyes, it can be said that Li Yan will make some progress every time he makes alchemy.
After accumulating many times, the progress has exceeded her imagination.
She has completely confirmed that Li Yan is a genius, a genius in alchemy.
She is self-aware of such a genius and cannot be taught by him.
Soon, Elder Xia Lingshuang was invited by her.
Even though it was dark now, after hearing that such a genius appeared, Xia Lingshuang ended her training immediately and hurried over.
"You are Li Yan."
Xia Lingshuang's cool and sweet voice lingered in Li Yan's ears.
"Yes, disciple Li Yan has met Elder Xia."
"Disciple Lin Shihua, meet Elder Xia."
Seeing that Li Yan had already saluted, Lin Shihua quickly followed suit.
"No need to be polite. I heard that you have excellent talent in alchemy. Come to me tomorrow and I will test you. If you pass, you will be my disciple in the future."
After looking at Li Yan for a while, and then at the dozens of [Qi and Blood Pills] on the tray, Xia Lingshuang said so.
Then, she left the place directly.
"Congratulations, Junior Brother. If Junior Brother can pass Elder Xia's test and become Elder Xia's disciple, he can ascend to heaven in one step and become a core disciple of the sect."
"By then, I'm afraid I will have to call you Senior Brother Li."
Hu Meirou said jokingly.
"Senior Sister, you are joking. Even if Junior Brother really becomes a core disciple in the future, you are still my Senior Sister."
Li Yan said seriously.
"That's a deal, I can't go back on it."
"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond."
"Hehe, if my sisters knew that I had a core disciple as my junior brother, they would be so jealous."
The next day, Li Yan came to Xia Lingshuang's special alchemy room.
After a day of assessment by Xia Lingshuang, Li Yan successfully became Xia Lingshuang's first disciple.
