Chapter 1030: Taking Risks and Being Smart in Responding!

Today's third update: Chapter 1030! 3/4!

...

In order to verify his inner guess, Xu Kun reached out and touched the inside of the furnace.

"Mr. Shu, I know the problem!" Xu Kun looked at him.

Mr. Shu's voice came: "Oh? Tell me!"

Xu Kun patted the furnace beside him and replied: "It's the problem with this furnace!"

"The Jade Cinnamon Cardamom Pill is not a high-level elixir, and it is not a very difficult one among the B-level elixirs!"

"My steps are all right, but the wrong thing is that the situation I am facing is different from the default situation in the textbook!"

"This furnace is just the most ordinary furnace. It is naturally no problem to refine some low-level elixirs, but it is too difficult to refine B-level elixirs. In common sense, if a pharmacist who has reached the C-level of alchemy has only an ordinary furnace, then he is too miserable!"

"Keep talking!" Mr. Shu chatted with interest.

Xu Kun took a deep breath: "The requirements of the furnace and flame for the Jade Cinnamon Cardamom Pill are not high, so the author of the book has forgotten one thing by default. They can't use ordinary furnaces to make pills. Inferior furnaces can be found everywhere on the market. If you change to a better furnace, you won't encounter the problem I experienced!"

"What problem?"

"Thermal insulation!" Xu Kun gave this answer seriously.

"A good furnace can not only withstand high temperatures, but also absorb and conduct flames better. It can maintain high temperatures when it is needed and keep low temperatures when it is needed. This is something that this ordinary furnace cannot do!"

"The time to refine the cinnamon cardamom pill is not short or long. The ordinary furnace has been placed on the fire for too long, causing the temperature of the entire furnace to rise rapidly, and it is unable to cool down quickly after leaving the fire. As a result, after the alchemy is completed, the temperature of the furnace exceeds the temperature that the cinnamon cardamom pill can withstand. Even at the moment of pill formation, the temperature of the furnace still affects the delicate cinnamon cardamom pill!"

"There is no clue in the furnace, but once it is out of the furnace, the problem will immediately appear!"

"I don't know if I am right?"

Summary: The fire temperature is too high, and the dish is fried. To be precise, when the pill is served, the temperature of the pill is still high, so it will turn yellow!

"Good, good, you can find this problem, which proves that you have deviated from the generalizations in the book!"

"Alchemy, especially high-level elixirs, have higher requirements in all aspects, because changes in some prerequisites will cause the correct steps originally recorded in the book to change in time. This is also the adaptability that a qualified alchemist must master!"

"You can't go far if you just follow the book!"

Mr. Shu affirmed Xu Kun's conjecture.

The problem has been found, so how to solve it?

"However, although you have found the problem, all the conditions in the virtual space cannot be changed. You can only use this ordinary furnace and ordinary fire to refine the cinnamon cardamom pill!"

"At the beginning, Li Dongbi also found that the residual heat of the furnace had not dissipated, which caused the pill to wither at too high a temperature. His solution was to use an alchemy technique called blowing fire palm before the pill was formed, which instantly lowered the temperature of the furnace. Although it was a trick, it was indeed successful. What about you?"

Some people may say, isn't it enough to lower the fire temperature!

If that were the case, it would be impossible to condense the medicinal power of various medicinal materials into pills, and the alchemy could be declared a failure without waiting for the pill-making step!

And the ordinary furnace with poor heat insulation could not lower its temperature as it wished after being roasted by flames for a long time!

What needs to be solved is the problem of the pill furnace itself.

Or it can be cooled instantly like Li Dongbi!

After being asked by Mr. Shu, Xu Kun calmed down and thought about how to deal with it!

"It seems that I can only take risks!" Xu Kun's eyes became extremely firm.

He is not Li Dongbi, and he does not have the unique skills of the alchemy sect as an auxiliary means!

The only thing that can be changed is the original conventional alchemy process!

Not to mention him, even a normal B-level alchemist would not dare to change the alchemy process at will!

Holding the alchemy furnace with one hand, until the temperature above completely dropped, Xu Kun began his third and last alchemy!

Having made a mistake once, Xu Kun would not make it again. In the key step of placing the two medicinal materials, Xu Kun did not make any mistakes!

Smelling the rich fragrance of the elixir in the quiet room, Xu Kun keenly noticed that the fragrance began to be restrained, and this time, he also made a crazy move!

Increase the firepower!

If there was a B-level alchemist next to him at this time, he would definitely shout: You are going to destroy this furnace of elixir!

But Xu Kun had no choice. This was the only solution he could think of. He would survive in the face of death!

The high fire baking did not last long. When the medicinal fragrance in the quiet room was almost gone, Xu Kun picked up the ear of the elixir furnace, pulled it away from the fire, and then put it on the ground.

Another quiet and silent wait, Xu Kun's eyes quietly looked at the elixir furnace that left the fire.

"It's time!"

Xu Kun slapped the lid of the furnace with a palm. This time, he did not pour out the elixir inside, but left it in the furnace!

A stream of hot air came out as the lid of the furnace was opened!

Through the hot air, one can see the crystal beads at the bottom of the furnace, and this time there are ten pills!

The temperature of the alchemy furnace gradually dropped, and the brilliance on the ten elixirs gradually became restrained, until... the faint fragrance of elixirs wafted out from the inside of the alchemy furnace!

"It's done!"

Xu Kun's hands turned white because of his excitement!

With a slap on the furnace body, ten cinnamon and cardamom pills exuding the fragrance of pills were thrown out. Xu Kun took them. In terms of quality and quantity, this furnace of B-level pills was considered a great success!

The virtual space collapsed, and Xu Kun's hands were empty!

It was as if everything he had experienced was fake!

However, the first question on the assessment paper in front of me already showed two words "full score"!

This proves that he solved this first question perfectly with his own ability!

Mr. Lian Shu couldn't help but admired: "What a crazy boy. I thought of many ways to solve the problem, but I didn't expect your method of seeking death. Did you know that you were almost there just now? Huo Wen The critical point of this elixir has been reached. If it is one point more, the elixir will be completely useless. If it is one point less, the residual temperature will not be enough to support the completion of the elixir! "

"Should I praise you for your perfect control of the temperature, or should I praise you for your luck?"

Xu Kun smiled and said modestly: "It's both!"

Everything is difficult at the beginning. The first question of this A-level assessment almost made Xu Kun stumble. Xu Kun no longer has any contempt for it!

The knowledge you learn is, in the final analysis, a dead thing, just like even if it is an open-book exam and you are asked to copy it, you may not be able to copy it correctly!

For such a difficult assessment, in addition to laying a solid foundation, thinking and on-the-spot performance are also indispensable!
