Chapter 1,119 The Changes in Sister Naolan (Part 1)
In the process of refining the elixir, the difficulty will almost double with each refinement step. The fire control and fine adjustment required for refining, as well as the amount of energy expended, are far from comparable to the previous time. When this difficulty accumulates to a certain level, the alchemist will be unable to continue and will be unable to continue.
Therefore, ordinary monks can simply judge the level of alchemist based on the number of times the alchemist can refine it. Specific to the elixir, it is reflected in the number of elixir patterns on the elixir. With each additional refining round, one more pill pattern will be added.
It doesn't mean that the cultivation level is high enough to support this kind of consumption, this is just a prerequisite. The higher the refining speed, the more difficult it is to control the heat. If you are distracted or the heat is wrong, you will only get a furnace of slag.
Yang Chen's alchemy refining is no longer the previous kind of refining in order to increase the number of refining times. For Yang Chen, every refining is a small breakthrough in the alchemy path and a small accumulation of experience in the alchemy path. .
With different realms, we look at the nature of things differently, and we get closer to the essence. Yang Chen has basically reached this state now. Every time he refines the elixir, he rushes to build another layer of soil at the feet of a more advanced alchemist. When these foundations are strong and thick enough, , Yang Chen can naturally reach another level.
This was a realization that Yang Chen had never had when he was refining alchemy in his previous life. It also clearly marked that Yang Chen's level of alchemy in this life had completely surpassed that of his previous life.
The improvement in the level of control also means that the time for refining the elixir is reduced. When Yang Chen played the magic formula to collect the elixir and stood up. Nao Lan, who had been paying attention, was immediately startled: "Failed?"
"How is that possible?" Yang Chen put away all the merit body refining pills. Without looking at it, he put it into the jade bottle and delivered it directly to Nao Lan's hands.
Nao Lan quickly opened it and took it out one by one to check. Yang Chen refined about thirty body refining pills this time, all of which were prepared for the fire dragon. The fire dragon is huge, so it will definitely need a lot of pills, and one more thing, the fire dragon wants all five elements. It will inevitably consume more elixirs.
Thirty body refining pills cost Yang Chen almost as much merit as the sand of the Ganges River (ten to the fifty-second power). Even though it is just a simple body refining pill, there are only a handful of alchemists in the immortal world who can refine such elixirs. Those who have strength do not have Yang Chen's merits, and those who have merits may not be able to make elixirs. You know, this is much simpler than using Yi Laomo's magic power to improve the acquired five elements attributes.
There are eight neat pill patterns on each pill, but this time the pill patterns are no longer dragon-shaped pill patterns. Nao Lan didn't mind, so Yang Chen passed the Yunling Furnace to his disciples and used Mo Chunmei's alchemy furnace. There shouldn't be dragon-shaped pill patterns in the first place. It's just that the speed is a bit too fast, right?
Nao Lan checked the pills one by one, counted the pill patterns one by one, and then carefully put away all the body refining pills. It's not that she doesn't believe Yang Chen, it's actually that these pills are for her true love, and there is no room for her to be careless, lest it cause irreparable consequences.
Concern leads to chaos. It doesn't just happen to human monks. The same is true even for the royal family of the Dragon Clan. This was evident from the action of Nao Lan just checking the elixir.
Yang Chen did not blame Nao Lan for being so serious. As he said, the existence of pill patterns was to increase the confidence of those who take it. First, Ao Lan carefully counted the elixir patterns. Isn't this the best interpretation of his theory?
The Hetai Pill is a pill specially used by the Dragon Clan. According to Nao Lan's instructions, Yang Chen should start refining it right away. However, Yang Chen rejected this request, and instead planned to refine several batches of seven-turn and eight-turn Ganoderma Jade Dew Pills first.
"It's so difficult to refine elixirs right from the beginning. I don't know many high-speed refining techniques and heats, so I'd better practice with low-grade elixirs first. Get familiar with the feeling, and then go all out to refine them." Yang Chenyou Yang Chen's reasoning, but at this time he had to explain clearly to Nao Lan, lest Nao Lan misunderstand that he was unwilling to make elixirs or manipulate her.
Nao Lan accepted Yang Chen's explanation because what he said made sense. Yang Chen also considered for Ao Lan. He did not prepare many raw materials for the Hetai Pill. If it failed several times, he might have to collect it again.
Yang Chen also had his own considerations. After all, the eighth-level refining was beyond the level of his previous life memory. Yang Chen himself had almost no experience in this area. This is not like the sixth-turn and seventh-turn refining. I have a lot of experience in my previous life. Whether it is for your own reputation or for the sake of the fire dragon taking the elixir, you should be cautious.
Ganoderma Jade Dew Pill is the most refined elixir that Yang Chen has refined. Yang Chen can now complete the refining from one to seven levels with his eyes closed and his consciousness turned off. However, Yang Chen still refines it meticulously and carefully, comprehending every step. There are subtle differences in the heat during a refining process, and sometimes the heat is deliberately adjusted very slightly within the range allowed by the refining in order to obtain different elixirs to compare the effects.
When it came to the eighth round of refining, Yang Chen was even more cautious, concentrating on it and not daring to relax at all. This time he did not use merit chapter protection, nor did he use an alchemy furnace with a bonus effect like the Yunling Furnace. It was completely based on his own pure elixir refining level. Only through such refining can problems be discovered and solved.
As expected, without the support of the Merit Chapter, the success rate of alchemy would be much lower. This was the first time that Yang Chen actually refined the eighth-level elixir, the raw materials for one hundred Ganoderma lucidum pills. When he finally collected the pills, Yang Chen got more than a dozen complete Ganoderma lucidum pills. Everything else turned to slag.
Nao Lan didn't know the reason. Seeing that Yang Chen's success rate in refining the Ganoderma Yulu Pill was so low, he didn't dare to urge him to refine the Hetai Pill. He had to let Yang Chen become proficient in refining the Ganoderma Yulu Pill.
When refining it again, the success rate increased a lot. With more than thirty pieces, it almost doubled. But Yang Chen was still very dissatisfied with the success rate of just over 30%, and immediately prepared the materials to refine it again.
Yang Chen discovered a long time ago that these simple basic elixirs are actually not simple. Each of them is the most streamlined, easiest to refine and most cost-effective elixir formula that has been determined by seniors over the years.
But the things behind the elixir are worthy of careful scrutiny. Why are these medicinal materials used and why are they used in this ratio? When you truly understand what is happening and why, then you have truly learned something.
Even though Nao Lan was not very satisfied with Yang Chen's success rate in refining the elixir, Yang Chen himself was indeed quite happy. The two refinings made him understand a lot of things better. This was a gain that he could not get when refining even the most difficult marrow elixir in the past. (To be continued ~^~)
