Chapter 140 Ten Days Later
A blazing flame burned under the furnace. Xu Yi looked at the furnace intently, constantly calculating the situation inside in his mind.
Now he is no longer a novice who knows nothing about the alchemy. He has experience in refining Zhuangqi Pills and Breaking Realm Pills. In addition, he has read some basic books on the alchemy. His control over the pills is far better than before.
Of course, every time he studies a new pill recipe, he still needs to go through a process. From unfamiliar to familiar, until he knows it clearly. The most important thing is to control the details. Only when all the details are perfect can he refine high-quality finished pills.
This is the tenth day since he retreated and devoted himself to alchemy. On the third day of alchemy, he successfully refined the inferior Qi Gathering Pill.
In three days, he can take out the finished pill according to the description of a pill recipe. Although there is a certain amount of luck in it, it is undeniable that his alchemy skills have indeed improved qualitatively. I dare not say that I have entered the hall, but at least I have reached the point of glimpsing the door.
The pharmacological changes between more than 20 kinds of medicinal materials, as well as details such as how to process medicinal materials, all echoed in his mind.
It is precisely because of his continuous research that he has made great progress in alchemy.
On the fifth day, the middle-grade Qi-gathering Pill appeared.
On the seventh day, a furnace of top-grade Qi-gathering Pills was accidentally refined.
And today, he has a strong premonition that he will achieve his set goal and can refine the best Qi-gathering Pill.
"Huh..."
The fire in the furnace suddenly broke out, as if it was going to engulf the entire furnace.
But Xu Yi next to him didn't care about it. He turned on the blast to the maximum extent, just to pursue the extreme heat of this moment.
The fire lasted for several breaths, and Xu Yi's forehead was already covered with sweat.
This is not just hot, but also because of too much effort and nervousness.
When the fire disappeared, the heat of the furnace began to decrease little by little. After losing the continuous heating of the coal, the furnace finally came to the time to open.
But Xu Yi still silently felt the changes in the furnace. He did not open the lid, but continued to wait. After ten breaths, his eyes lit up slightly, and then he reached out to open the lid.
And at this moment, the strong medicinal fragrance seemed to have an abrupt outlet, and it was released from the furnace impatiently.
In the furnace, twelve pills lay quietly.
Xu Yi picked up one of them and examined it carefully. After a moment, his face showed a very happy expression.
Qi Gathering Pill.
Excellent Qi Gathering Pill!
His premonition was right. After ten days of hard work, he finally completed the refining of the excellent Qi Gathering Pill.
Ten days, the efforts and hard work of these ten days of retreat were not in vain.
During these ten days, he basically spent time in this room, even eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.
Although Zhang Xinxin was only twelve years old and had a big background. But he cooked good dishes, at least he never treated him badly in terms of food. Moreover, after knowing that Xu Yi planned to retreat to make pills, she volunteered to act as the door god. No one else could enter this courtyard except her.
This is also one of the biggest reasons why Xu Yi was able to abandon many distractions, concentrate on making pills and succeed.
However, if other alchemists knew that in just ten days, he could complete the research process from zero to one, from low-grade to high-grade, and even to the best, they would be surprised to the point of dropping their jaws.
In fact, even Xu Yi never thought that he could do this.
In his plan, the time to make the best pills was actually one month later. However, during this alchemy, Xu Yi made an extremely surprising discovery.
That is, every time when dealing with the key points of alchemy... For example, the specific time for pre-processing the main materials, the specific time for putting various medicinal materials into the pill furnace, the size of the fire at certain times, etc.
Although these things seem insignificant, the success or failure of a furnace of pills is composed of many of these details bit by bit.
Whenever this happens, Xu Yi will have a vague premonition.
It seems that there is a voice in the dark, telling him to do this to achieve the best results.
Of course, he does not have any golden fingers like "grandfather". The reason why he has such a strange feeling is the upper dantian.
Whenever he wants to improve the alchemy process to some extent, the upper dantian will produce some extremely weak reactions.
According to the intensity of the reaction, after several attempts, Xu Yi vaguely grasped the law. When he studied the elixir according to this law, he was surprised to find that his progress in alchemy was like taking off with wings.
Such changes exceeded Xu Yi's expectations, but it was precisely because of this magical variable that he could achieve such a shocking effect.
The upper dantian actually has an effect similar to avoiding danger and seeking good fortune. This discovery surprised Xu Yi greatly.
He even doubted whether this was a new magical power.
When the lower dantian was opened up and the great circle of heaven was moved, he obtained a Dharma-phase magical power, which could change anything as big or small as he wished.
So, after the upper dantian is opened up, can one also gain a supernatural power?
However, the magical power of the Dharma is explicit, so he can sense it clearly. The magical power of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil obtained by the upper dantian is implicit, which requires him to constantly ponder and try.
Well, all this is just his guess. Whether it is true or not, it still needs to be slowly discussed and consulted in the future.
Of course, to match it, Xu Yi also wasted many medicinal materials in these ten days. Among them, the two relatively rare materials as the main ingredients were wasted countless times, reaching the point that any alchemist could not help but call him a prodigal son.
The two medicinal materials that Cui Tao brought to him had been consumed on the first day. Fortunately, he had the magical power of the Dharma, and it was a mutated Dharma, which could change the size of things as desired. Otherwise, even if he had the magical premonition of the upper dantian, it would be difficult for a good cook to cook without rice.
After collecting the twelve top-grade Qi-gathering Pills, Xu Yi had an unconcealed smile on his face.
His actions were not careful, because for him, as long as he succeeded once, he would be sure to succeed countless times.
Although it still needs to be polished and studied to consolidate this result thoroughly, the rest is just a matter of time and effort, not worth mentioning.
After a long breath, Xu Yi looked around and dealt with all the details that might reveal the secret.
Then, he opened the door and strode out.
After holding it in for ten days, I felt a little stuffy, and I should go out for some fresh air.
