Chapter 72 Gu Yuandan
The century-old dragon beard grass, fire lotus heart, five elements flower, blood silk silkworm, and the four-level animal core of the flying eagle beast are all available, but the problem is that there is only one four-level beast core, and other materials are ten copies. Doesn't that there is only one chance of refining? If you fail, you won't have a second chance to come?
Zhuge Shang secretly said that this thing is really a troublesome thing. Without a large number of real stones, he can't afford to cultivate an alchemist. Just refining a small Guyuan elixir requires at least ten four-level animal cores, but he only has one. There is no choice but to refine it. He looked at the letter about refining in his mind. Fortunately, the fourth-level animal core is the last part.
According to the knowledge instilled by the master of Baicaozhai, the fire lotus heart is the introduction. It needs to be put into the fire lotus heart in the tripod furnace first, and then melt it with Zhenyuan fire. Because the melting resistance of the fire lotus heart is quite high, it must be melted first and become ** to exert its medicinal power.
There is a special introduction about the true element fire, which is written that it is to materialize the true element, that is to say, the release of the true element of its own attribute is just hit in one place and sprayed out in a diffuse form. The practitioners of fire attributes such as Zhuge Shang are even better at refining elixir. In addition, as mentioned above , such a real Yuanhuo is actually a pseudo-true Yuanhuo. The real Yuanhuo needs to be refined. There is no explanation about how to refine it. It is just that if there is a real Yuanhuo, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
After melting the heart of the fire lotus, the next step is a critical moment. It is necessary to immediately put down the hundred-year-old dragon beard grass and blood silk silkworm at the moment when the five elements of flowers are put down, saying that this step is completely due to the five elements of flowers.
The five elements flower and the fire lotus heart are exactly the opposite. They are extremely intolerant of high temperature. As long as they encounter high temperatures, they will quickly disappear, and even their own medicinal properties are useless. Therefore, the key is to immediately put down the hundred-year-old dragon beard grass and blood silk silkworm at the moment before the five elements flower melts. One of these two things is to increase mental stability, one It is to consolidate Zhenyuan, which is to take advantage of this moment to inhale all the energy from the five elements flower and completely volagate it into the tripod furnace. Among them, it is the most useful for the people of Huo Zhenyuan. If it is a true person with water attributes to refine it, it is necessary to replace the blood silk silkworm with other medicinal herbs with water attributes. Therefore, this step must be done well. If it is not done early, the effect of the medicine will not be completely absorbed. The function will be greatly reduced. If it is late, the effect of the medicine will disappear.
The next step is the four-level beast core.
If there is nothing wrong with the previous steps, then, well, it is not far from success. Use the huge energy in the four-level animal nucleus to gather all the medicinal effects together with the energy itself to form a pill, and then boil it in the furnace tripod for two hours before it can be baked. In this way, one grain is solid Yuandan is done!
In his mind, Zhuge Shang also found a necessary thing for alchemy, that is, the array used to separate the contact with the outside world when refining alchemy. Zhuge Shang looked at it and found that it was very simple. He only needed to use five medium true stones, put them in five positions, implying five elements, and then use the true elements to attract the energy inside. Introduce your own body, and then integrate these incoming Zhenyuan into one piece. Don't let Zhenyuan flow like this, but force it out of the body again to form a transparent protective film. On the one hand, it can isolate the general high temperature and noise, and secondly, it can prevent other low-strength people from disrupt their refining, such as that Some maidservants.
However, although it looks so easy, it is still not easy to do it well. After thinking about the whole process and confirming that there are no mistakes, Zhuge Shang finally began to refine his first elixir!
First of all, Zhuge Shang really got a protective film according to that method, so that he doesn't have to worry about shocking the people of the Beitang family.
Standing in front of the furnace tripod, Zhuge Shang ignited a small flame in his hand, so he controlled the flame and began to warm up the whole body of the furnace tripod. This is a very important prelude. If the furnace tripod is not preheated, it will suddenly burst because it can't withstand too high temperature. The quality of alchemy and the furnace tripod is quite important. An alchemist must learn how to love the furnace tripod.
Soon, the temperature of the furnace tripod will be relatively high, and it can start refining!
Zhu Ge Shang held his breath, but his heart was still relatively nervous. After all, this was the first time to refine the elixir, and he began to refine it after reading some other people's experience without guidance. It is absolutely impossible to completely calm down.
Taking out the first portion, Zhuge Shang moved his mind, and the lid of the furnace tripod was opened by the Zhenyuan outside. The heart of Huolian was thrown in and covered with the lid. Zhuge Shang increased the investment of Zhenyuan fire.
I have to say that the fire lotus heart is indeed quite resistant to high temperature. Zhuge Shang used three-point force to melt, but the fire lotus heart did not even move at all, not even show any sign of melting. Therefore, he had to use five-point force, so that the fire lotus heart began to slowly melt.
But this melting is really slow. Zhuge Shang's face is sweating. It's really enough for him to continue to output half of the real yuan. Fortunately, half an hour later, the heart of the fire lotus finally completely melted, forming a layer of fiery red flow in the space in the furnace tripod.
It's time. Zhuge Shang carefully opened the lid and threw the five elements of flowers in, but the temperature below was indeed too high. The five elements of flowers immediately began to melt when they touched the molten pulp below. Zhuge Shang quickly threw the hundred-year-old dragon beard grass and blood silk silkworm in, but it was too late. Before the five elements of flowers had melted. There is no ash left, and the hundred-year-old dragon beard grass and blood silk silkworms are also in vain, leaving only a red stream inside.
He sighed secretly. The first refining was indeed a failure, but Zhuge Shang was not discouraged. Originally, this alchemy was not a high probability thing.
The key step was still wrong. He was not sure about the time he had to invest, which led to the failure of refining. After thinking about it, Zhuge Shang found that it was the most difficult to grasp when the five elements were thrown down, because he had to be connected with the two medicinal herbs behind, and it would not have any effect if he put them together.
After thinking about it carefully, Zhuge Shang suddenly came up with an idea, so he thought about it and took out the second medicinal herbs, or melt it according to the melting method of the fire lotus, plus the remaining red current left before. Next is the second step, the most critical step!
However, this time Zhuge Shang did not use the method of throwing, but wrapped the five elements of flowers with Zhenyuan, so as to avoid the invasion of high temperature. He slowly controlled Zhenyuan with his soul thoughts, put the five elements of flowers above the red stream, and then threw them into the century-old dragon beard grass and blood silk silkworm when the two medicinal herbs were about to reach the bottom. Zhuge Shang immediately removed Zhenyuan, and the five elements of flowers immediately began to melt sharply, but at the moment before it was about to completely melt, the last two medicinal materials arrived and absorbed all the medicinal properties of the five elements of flowers.
Finally succeeded! Great! Zhuge Shang breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, nothing went wrong, but he still dared not be careless. After all, there is still the last level, the fourth-level beast core!
However, Zhuge Shang thought about it. Since there is only one four-level animal core, why not get some of the following medicinal properties? According to the energy in the four-level animal nucleus, it can contain a few more medicinal properties, so Zhuge Shang continued to maintain the true element amount inside, added two medicinal materials to it according to the previous method, and refined them according to the correct method. The furnace tripod was simply full of medicinal properties. Zhuge Shang saw that it was almost the same, so he put four The nucleus of the beast was pulled and thrown into the furnace tripod. Suddenly, the huge energy inside shocked the furnace tripod a little unstable. The Zhenyuan of Zhuge Shangma's whole body was unreservedly sent out. One part was used to suppress the furnace tripod, and the other part was to gather all the energy inside.
Slowly, all the energy is compressed to the core in the middle, with a thin layer of cover outside, leaning inside, and then getting thicker, and finally forming a substantial elixir.
Zhuge Shang suppressed the secret joy in his heart and continued to bake the furnace tripod with Zhenyuan to completely shape the elixir inside. However, this process was quite slow and took about two hours. Zhuge Shang tried his best to output Zhenyuan. He really couldn't stand it. Fortunately, Zhuge Shang gritted his teeth and persisted, and his whole body had been wet with sweat for a long time. I don't have time to use Zhenyuan to volatilize, so I have to let it flow down. Now a trace of Zhenyuan is extremely precious to Zhuge Shang.
With Zhenyuan's overdraft, Zhuge Shang finally finished these two hours, but he did not dare to withdraw Zhenyuan. The last step came!
The last point of Zhenyuan used all his strength and roasted the furnace tripod red, and all the energy penetrated through the bottom of the elixir. Finally, the lid of the furnace tripod opened with a "bang" and Guyuan Dan flew out. Zhuge Shang then withdrew Zhenyuan and took Guyuan Dan. However, at this time, Zhuge Shang was almost weak and thirsty in his body. The meridians slowly deriving a little bit of true elements, which are all very volatile. Zhuge Shang's continuous overdraft of true elements has brought the already unstable true elements to the critical point, and no matter how unstable it is, it will affect the cultivation.
With no time caring about the fragrance of traditional Chinese medicine, Zhuge Shang quickly sat down cross-legged and took this Guyuan elixir with residual heat.
Unexpectedly, Guyuan Dan melted at the entrance and turned into countless floods flowing into various meridians in the body. The huge energy immediately supported the dry meridians to transform a large number of Zhenyuan, but Zhenyuan was not so * under the suppression of a large amount of energy, but slowly calmed down and flowed in the body along the energy.
I don't know how long it took before the energy in the body completely calmed down. Zhenyuan also stayed honestly. Zhuge Shang was overjoyed. At last, his work was not in vain, and his realm was stabilized. He was able to refine elixirs. Now he is also an alchemist.
