Chapter 1029: Failed Twice, Suffered a Heavy Blow!

Today’s second update: Chapter 1029! 2/4!

…

The branches swayed, and Xu Kun felt like the world was spinning. He opened his eyes again and appeared in a familiar yet unfamiliar place!

"It seems to be the same place as in the video!"

"Haha, you are right!" Mr. Shu's voice came from the outside world: "The object in this question is a typical case of generations in Qufu Academy trying to cross-level medicine refining. So far, except for him, In addition, when latecomers observed his alchemy techniques, they could not find the real problem! "

Xu Kun was surprised: "Is it so difficult?"

"Of course, after two consecutive failed attempts, he used some special techniques for the third time. It should be a family secret, and he completed the refining of the Cinnamon Cardamom Pill!"

"Almost...it was ten years ago!" Mr. Shu thought briefly.

Those who can enter Qufu Academy are naturally members of the human race, and they are basically Chinese.

Xu Kun was very curious as to who the subject of this typical question was.

"Mr. Shu, do you know the other party's name?"

"It seems to be called... Li Dongbi!"

Xu Kun suddenly realized that he was the leader of the Danyuan Academy who was ranked 19th on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking of the Imperial Academy!

If it were him, it would not be surprising at all. He is the direct disciple of his nephew Hongjing. At a young age and before he entered the War King Realm, he was considered to be expected to succeed Tao Hongjing and become the fourth generation chief disciple of the Dan Sect. Got it!

According to Mr. Shu's words, the family secret technique used by Li Dongbi when he made alchemy for the third time is more likely to be the same alchemy method as Liu Fuyi's casting method!

This illustrates a problem from the side. Perhaps Li Dongbi himself did not discover the problem of the second alchemy, or he discovered it, but could not solve it, so he was forced to change his thinking and reduce the dimensionality. This is equivalent to using the skills of a college student. Formulas to solve high school questions!

Then I didn’t inherit any secret knowledge of alchemy!

Thinking of this, Xu Kun took a deep breath and walked to the table where the medicinal materials were placed.

"On the table, there are only three materials for refining the Cinnamon Cardamom Pill. After using them, you will lose more than half of your points on this first question!"

Xu Kun nodded clearly, stepped forward, and first arranged the various elixirs that were placed randomly into three parts.

After reorganizing the refining process of the Cinnamon and Cardamom Pill in my mind, I placed the dark pill furnace on top of the fire with a little heaviness!

Ordinary furnace, ordinary fire, alchemy apprentice!

Although a ray of light fell and gave Xu Kun a temporary C-level casting technique, even an alchemist who normally advanced to C-level had a very low success rate in refining the B-level elixir Jade Cinnamon Cardamom Pill!

Xu Kun was not rash, but tried his best to make sure there were no mistakes and threw the medicinal ingredients into the stove one by one as he took the time.

“In addition to the fragility of the elixir when refining the cinnamon and cardamom pill, the most difficult part is the melting of the heavenly cinnamon and white jade cardamom in the middle. As the main medicine, the two major medicinal materials must be put in one after another. Add the white jade cardamom at the first moment when the fragrance of Tianxiang Yugui reaches its peak. If you step too early, the two will not be able to blend together. If you step too late, the Tianxiang Yugui will be roasted..."

Xu Kun muttered silently, holding two main medicines in each hand. Sweat broke out on his forehead because of his nervousness.

Calculate the time, and when the time comes, throw the Tianxiang Yugui into the stove, and at the same time increase the temperature of the fire below, so that the Tianxiang Yugui can emit its fragrance in a very short time!

After a while, a faint fragrance emerged from the alchemy furnace.

"Not even close..." Xu Kun held the white jade cardamom tightly, waiting for the fragrance to reach a fragrant level!

"It's time!" Xu Kun opened the stove lid and threw the white jade cardamom in. But what he was waiting for was not the blending smell of cinnamon and cardamom, but a burning smell!

Xu Kun's face turned pale, and he quickly opened the furnace cover and saw that, sure enough, the jade cinnamon had turned into charcoal, and then the white jade cardamom also lost its brilliance!

"How could..."

Obviously he had already pinched some and thrown in the medicinal materials!

Mr. Shu's voice came: "The first refining failed!"

Xu Kun took the alchemy furnace aside and poured out all the dregs. He thought about his operation over and over again and stared at the fire in a daze.

"Hey, my head!" Looking at the fire, Xu Kun suddenly remembered.

Melting Tianxiang Yugui requires a high-temperature flame. This is why Xu Kun increased the intensity of the flame when throwing in Tianxiang Yugui. However, when adding white jade cardamom, the characteristics of white jade cardamom and the medicinal effect of Tianxiang Yugui have been completely eliminated. When it is stimulated, it needs to be baked slowly!

He failed to cool down, which led to the failure of the first refining.

After knowing the mistake, Xu Kun calmed down and summarized the other operations again. After confirming that they were correct, he started the second refining!

With the experience of the first failure, Xu Kun controlled the flame very well this time when placing the two main ingredients in the refining process!

Soon, the fragrance of cinnamon mixed with the fragrance of cardamom filled the entire quiet room, making Xu Kun couldn't help but take a few greedy breaths.

"There is nothing difficult about the next steps, just wait quietly for the elixir to be completed!"

The fragrance gradually fades away, which also means that the power of all the medicinal materials has been condensed into the elixir. Only when the elixir is formed, will the elixir fragrance come out!

"Time is enough!"

According to the knowledge he learned, Xu Kun stretched out his hand and patted the alchemy furnace. The mouth of the furnace hung upside down, and pills as crystal as beans rolled down. Xu Kun took out a jade plate to catch it!

There are eight pills, which proves that not much medicinal power was wasted during the refining process!

So, will it succeed?

The round pills rolled on the jade plate, attracting all of Xu Kun's attention!

But full of hope, but full of disappointment!

Because the eight originally crystal pills, after rolling twice on the jade plate, gradually dimmed in color, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into a withered yellow color, and there was no fragrance at all!

Failed!

Just like Li Dongbi's second pill refining in the video, the pills were still intact when they came out of the furnace, but they still became a furnace of waste pills!

Xu Kun was puzzled and asked in his heart why?

He was operating according to the records in the book in terms of flame temperature, refining process, and time control. It was not to say that it was exactly the same, but it was definitely a steady and solid move!

If the quality of the pills was a little unsatisfactory, Xu Kun could still accept it, but who could accept this unprovoked pill turning into a waste pill?

Sitting on the ground, Xu Kun felt unprecedented confusion!

Which step went wrong?

He pondered hard, but still couldn't find the problem!

"Is it luck?" Xu Kun couldn't find his own problem, so he could only attribute it to luck.

He didn't know whether the current backlash of luck would affect his success rate in refining pills. If so, even if he refined thousands of times, it would be the same!

Although Xu Kun didn't want to admit failure, he didn't want to die on one path. His confidence in facing difficulties was hit hard by this first question!

Fortunately, he had earned enough extra points in the previous learning process. Even if he didn't get any points for all the questions, it would not affect his completion of the A-level assessment!

He could only comfort himself in this way, because compared to wasting time here, he had more important things to do.

"There must be no problem with my refining process. If it's just luck, then it's meaningless for me to struggle. Let's just refine this last furnace!"

"If I get it, I'm lucky. If I lose it, I'm dead!"

Xu Kun staggered towards the alchemy furnace placed aside, intending to refine the elixir for the third time.

But when he grabbed the ear of the alchemy furnace, his expression was slightly stunned.

His eyes changed from confusion to doubt, and then... suddenly enlightened!
