Chapter 218 Dao Fire Alchemy

Because his soul was almost blown away by the wind, Gu Xia, who had walked on the edge of death, slept until noon before waking up.

His mind was also groggy for a long time, and it was not until the afternoon that he regained a little clarity.

Gu Xia went out to buy some things before it got dark.

He wanted to refine the Qingxin Pill that could absorb some of the blood demon's evil spirit in the body.

Gu Xia had already prepared various medicinal materials, and what he lacked now was another thing.

An hour later.

As the sky gradually darkened, Gu Xia came back carrying a half-person-high, more than a thousand pounds of alchemy furnace.

Qingxin Pill is different from the previous Qi and Blood Pill. Take a pot and throw all the medicinal materials into it to boil it into ointment, and then rub the ointment into pills.

Qingxin Pill is a real elixir, and it must be refined by a real alchemist.

And the alchemist is a very rare profession, and Xingxuanmen only supports one.

With Gu Xia's identity, he naturally couldn't see him. Besides, he didn't dare to take out the prescription. If it was seen as a prescription for dispelling the evil spirit of the blood demon, it would be bad.

So, Gu Xia planned to learn by himself.

Before he went to Qianshui County, he read a lot of books about Taoists burning mercury to make elixirs in the library.

He had some superficial knowledge of the process of alchemy.

Of course, with this understanding, Gu Xia would not have the idea of ​​self-learning alchemy.

In fact, it was because the prescription information of the Origin Religion not only had the detailed ratio of medicinal materials, but also how to prepare, the order of medicinal materials, and the control of the fire of the elixir.

It was very detailed.

Gu Xia was moved.

He put the alchemy room in the backyard and started his first alchemy in his life.

First, some medicinal materials that needed to be processed in advance were powdered, crushed, and prepared.

Next, it was still not a formal refining.

Gu Xia was not a reckless person. He had no experience in alchemy and could not do it recklessly.

Although the temperature was clearly marked on the recipe, he had no idea about the various temperatures.

He had to first figure out what was a low fire, a medium fire, a high fire, and a wild fire.

Gu Xia snapped his fingers on his right hand, and a ball of Taoist flame the size of a basketball was generated at his fingertips.

This was the first important condition for alchemy - the alchemy fire.

The Taoist flame of soul cultivators can be precisely controlled in temperature and temperature, and is the best alchemy fire.

However, Taoist flames require at least soul cultivators in the Night Traveling Realm to use, which is also a major reason why alchemists are rare.

If you are not strong enough, you can't even light the alchemy fire.

In fact, this alchemy fire was the most troubling to Gu Xia. He originally wanted to use firewood instead, but firewood was difficult to control and would most likely burn a pot of precious medicinal materials.

Fortunately, Yun Diaozhen and his party, he passed the heavenly tribulation and entered the Night Traveling Realm, and the problem of alchemy fire was solved.

Then, Gu Xia looked at the recipe and tried to bake or burn the small portion of medicinal materials in his hand, and the flames in his hand were large and small.

He observed how the medicinal materials would produce the changes marked on the recipe. Once there were corresponding changes, he immediately asked Xingchen to record the information of the pill fire and try to reproduce it.

After the reproduction was successful, Gu Xia would try to process the next medicinal material.

Until dawn.

Gu Xia finally figured out how to process more than 20 kinds of medicinal materials, and had a preliminary understanding of the temperature and size of the pill fire.

Of course, it didn't matter if he didn't understand.

Because Xingchen had recorded all the data, Gu Xia planned to hand over the control of the fire and temperature to Xingchen when he really made the pill.

After another half-day rest and recovery.

Gu Xia officially started to make the pill.

He lit a ball of Taoist flame at the bottom of the pill furnace, waited for the furnace to heat up, and put in the first medicinal material.

The medicinal materials were not simply put into the furnace to heat, but Gu Xia also needed to use his soul power to penetrate into the furnace and constantly turn the medicinal materials to make them evenly heated.

For some strict medicinal materials, the time of turning even had to be accurate to a moment.

And after different medicinal materials are put in, they need to be separated by soul power, and the order of fusion of different medicinal materials needs to be controlled.

These data are not what can be obtained by processing small portions of medicinal materials separately before.

So, Gu Xia became flustered in an instant.

An hour later.

Gu Xia opened the alchemy furnace, and suddenly a thick black smoke came out.

There is no doubt that the alchemy failed. In fact, Gu Xia knew it halfway because he made a mistake in his hurry and got the order of fusion of one medicinal material wrong.

And he realized that heating medicinal materials in the alchemy furnace is different from heating them directly in his hands.

The previous data was all wrong and the parameters needed to be adjusted.

However, Gu Xia still insisted on completing the whole process to let Xingchen obtain more data, at the cost of wasting medicinal materials worth thousands of taels.

"No wonder alchemists are so rare. The process of training alchemists is simply burning money!"

Fortunately, Gu Xia is different from those alchemists who rely purely on experience. He has AI, which can record data, quickly correct wrong operations, and perform operations accurately and perfectly.

Soon the second alchemy began.

This time, Xingchen was responsible for almost all the work, and Guxia was only responsible for lighting the fire.

The temperature and heat were all precisely controlled by Xingchen, and it was also connected to Guxia's soul power interface.

The AI ​​used soul power to form dozens of precise invisible tentacles, like Dr. Octopus, to separate each medicinal material, heat it evenly, and fuse them one by one in order.

There was no rush like Guxia before.

Soon it was time to add the last medicinal material, and under Xingchen's control, there was no mistake.

Finally, Guxia opened the furnace.

A strange smell came out, and it still failed.

Guxia didn't understand what went wrong, but he didn't expect to succeed in refining the elixir twice.

So in the previous two times of alchemy, he did not put in the main medicine Yueling Qingxin Flower, and the loss was some ordinary medicinal materials.

After Xingchen processed the data, he optimized the alchemy process again.

Gu Xia tried to make the alchemy again, but it still ended in failure.

Although Xingchen was operating, it consumed his mind and soul.

Gu Xia felt very tired and stopped.

"This alchemist's job is really not something that everyone can do! I have Xingchen to perform high-precision operations, but I still burned 4,000 taels of silver and got nothing.

Even the reason for the failure is not clear."

Fortunately, he had expected it psychologically, and spent a total of more than 10,000 taels to prepare for ten times of alchemy.

In the next two days.

Gu Xia fought and failed again and again, and fought again and again.

He tried seven times in succession, but all failed, making him lose more than 10,000 taels of silver.

Gu Xia had no choice but to take out another 10,000 taels of silver to buy medicinal materials. Even if he was wealthy, it was painful to burn so much.

The only good news is that Xingchen has accumulated more and more data, and is getting closer and closer to success.

…

That evening.

After burning another furnace of medicinal materials, Gu Xia lay on the ground exhausted. He wondered if he had not really learned to make pills, which was why he kept failing.

However, Xingchen was very confident, indicating that the success rate of the next pill refining would reach more than 50%.

"Try again tomorrow."

Gu Xia was so tired that he was sleepy.

Just when he was about to go back to the bedroom to sleep.

There was a knock on the door outside.

Dong Dong Dong! ! !

Gu Xia came to the yard: "Who is visiting?"

"It's me, Gu Xia!"

A familiar voice came from outside the door.

Gu Xia perked up: "What does Manager Yuan want from me?"

He opened the door and looked.

Yuan Yi was standing outside the door, and there was a handsome boy beside him that Gu Xia did not know.
