54 Open Dan
After obtaining the formula and alchemy method of dew elixir from Nan Tianba's hand, Ye Qin immediately began to prepare alchemy to improve the speed of cultivation.
For the sake of caution, he did not intend to make alchemy in the medicine collection hall, which was very easy to be seen by his fellow disciples. If someone knows that he is making drugs privately, it will cause a lot of trouble.
Of course, he did not plan to go to the wild to find a place, which is easy to be accidentally bumped into and also unsafe. In the past, I went to the wild to refine medicine because I didn't have money in my hand, so I had to go to the wild to refine Qingxin pills. Now he has Qingxinwan in his hand to exchange dozens of golden leaves from Elder Huang of the Treasure Gang. He can choose a place in the county and buy it as a place to settle down.
Ye Qin wore a black hat. In a remote place in the southeast urban area of the county, he spent more than ten golden leaves and bought a small yard from a depressed squire as his temporary residence and alchemy place.
This small yard is not big, surrounded by a ten-foot-high earth wall on all sides, and the innermost part of the small yard is a separate green brick and tile room. Because the little sage usually does not live in the city, he neglects the small courtyard, and all the courtyards are overgrown and a little messy.
Next door to the courtyard are the houses of some civilians. These civilians have little knowledge and will not disturb his alchemy.
Ye Qin is quite satisfied with this small courtyard. Such a single-house courtyard is very common in the southeast of the county. People in the rivers and lakes hold their own identity and will not come to such a small place. The more ordinary and ordinary it is, the more no one will pay attention to it. After all, I often need alchemy in the future. In the small courtyard of the civilian area, it is better to hide, which is not easy to be found.
After having this small courtyard, Ye Qin began to prepare the items needed for alchemy: main medicine, side medicine, alchemy furnace, and fire.
Refining deodorant elixir requires a main medicine, up to more than ten flavors of side medicine. Although he already has the main medicine in his hand, it still needs time to collect side effects. Although these side effects are not spiritual herbs, they are also valuable herbs.
However, Ye Qin did not worry about these side drugs, because there are a wide variety of precious herbs for sale in the large pharmacy opened by the medicine collection hall in Zhuqi County. As long as he spends a lot of silver leaves, he can buy the side medicine he needs directly in the pharmacy. Even if he doesn't go to the pharmacy of the medicine hall, he can still go to the trade market, where there are many scattered medicinal materials for sale, which are usually collected by people in the world.
If it was in the past, Ye Qin would probably be at a loss to buy the silver leaves for this large amount of side medicine. Now, in addition to buying a small yard, he still has more than 20 gold leaves in his hand, which is enough for him to spend a short period of time.
Neither the main drug nor the side medicine is a problem. The most troublesome thing is to find an alchemy furnace.
The method of cultivating immortals and alchemy. It is completely different from the pharmaceutical method in Jianghu. Jianghu Zhongdi pharmaceutical methods use slicing, pot cooking, medicinal soup, and making pills. To make powders and pills.
and refine the elixir. A sealed alchemy furnace must be used. Suffocate in the furnace.
This thing is usually not used by others. It can hardly be found in the store. Naturally, it is a little difficult to find.
Ye Qin Mancheng is looking for it. I have searched almost all the shops in Zhuqi County. I ended up in a grocery store. I found an iron alchemy furnace.
This iron alchemy furnace is based on the triangular seat. The body of the subway stove. The hearth is only the size of a gourd. There is an iron lid on it. The belly can be sealed. The outer shell of the furnace is full of subway rust. The weight is heavy. It weighs thirty or forty catties.
Looking at the heavy and ugly appearance of this alchemy furnace, Ye Qin doubted whether it could be used for alchemy.
The owner of the grocery store patted his chest to ensure that it was absolutely useful, saying that this iron alchemy furnace is a furnace in a broken Taoist temple outside the county, which is specially used for alchemy. Later, the Taoist priest died, and the Taoist priest in the Taoist temple sold it to the grocery store.
Ye Qin is suspicious.
He opened the lid and sniffed. There was a strong smell of medicinal stone inside, which smelled bad, and he didn't know what elixir the stove had made before. He couldn't find any other stove, so he had to take it first and use it.
After paying ten silver leaves, Ye Qin returned to his private yard with an iron alchemy furnace.
After buying back all the side medicines, everything was ready. Only then did Ye Qin begin to refine his first elixirs.
A piece of medicinal material is made of a dew plant and several side effects, which can be used to refine a dew elixir.
When making alchemy, you can refine a separate medicinal herb in the stove to produce a elixirs. You can also refine several medicinal herbs at the same time and produce several elixirs at the same time. The requirements for refining this lowest-level elixir are actually not high. Except for the main medicine, which is a precious spiritual herb, the rest of the side drugs used, as well as fire and utensils, are all things.
You just need to grind all kinds of medicinal materials, add pure water from the stream, mash it into medicinal liquid, pour it into the belly of the stove, add a cover, start a fire to boil, and slowly burn the stove.
At the beginning of alchemy, the most important thing is to watch the fire.
Ye Qin sat by the stove, slowly added dead branches and firewood, carefully stared at the size of the fire, and stayed for a long time.
The size of this flame is extremely strict. At first, a slightly larger fire must be used to keep suffering for up to half an hour. The fire must be even, not from big to small, otherwise the potion of the furnace can not be integrated. Use the small fire elixir for another hour to condense the elixir.
Only by making alchemy with your own hands can you realize the difficulty of this kind of alchemy.
The furnace lasts for one or two hours, and it needs to add firewood and reduce ash. It is inevitable that the flames will be of different sizes. How can we maintain the same fire, which makes Ye Qin very nerve-wracking.
In order to make the firewood burn evenly enough, he simply split a large pile of firewood into small pieces of several inches and threw them into the fire little by little to make the fire as balanced as possible, which solved the problem of the fire.
And the last step, which is also the most critical, is to seize the opportunity to open the Dan, which is even more difficult.
In the process of alchemy, the liquid in the alchemy furnace will automatically gradually condense the elixir.
If the furnace is opened early, the potion of the liquid has not been fully stimulated, and the elixir has not been fully condensed. It is a semi-finished elixir. At this time, the elixir has only four or five points of medicinal power, or even two or three points of medicinal power, and the effect of the medicine is seriously insufficient, causing waste.
If the furnace is opened late, the elixir is more likely to coke in the furnace and directly become a waste elixir, containing a lot of impurities and poisons. This kind of waste elixir can't be eaten. If you eat it, it will not only not help your cultivation, but also cause great damage to your body. Usually, you can only bear the pain and throw it away.
In order to master the heat of the curd elixir, you must go through a long-term alchemy operation.
Not to mention that it is difficult for a novice like Ye Qin to master the fire, even if Nan Tianba, the patriarch of the Nan family, has refined hundreds of elixirs and experienced veterans, he can't guarantee that his elixir rate can reach more than 30% to 40%.
In the first few days, Ye Qin refined more than ten furnaces of elixirs in a row, either because the fire could not be controlled, or the time of opening the elixirs could not be grasped. As a result, a large number of semi-finished products and waste elixirs were refined. As soon as the waste elixir opened the alchemy furnace, a strong burning smell came out, choking Ye Qin to tears, and he could hardly sit in the room.
It was not until a few days later that he accidentally succeeded in refining a panacea. When the stove was opened, a warm and refreshing elixir fragrance permeated the whole room, which made people intoxicated and could hardly extricate themselves.
Ye Qin was so ecstatic that he almost couldn't help jumping up. He scattered the aura in the iron alchemy furnace, and poured out the round and full yellow elixir. Regardless of the hot hand, he took it in his hand.
The hard work in the past few days has not been in vain. Finally, a drop elixir has been refined to see how effective it is.
The method of taking the low-level elixir is very simple. Swallow it directly, then meditate for about half a day, slowly refine the elixir in the abdomen, absorb all its medicinal power, and transform it into the vitality of the immortal family.
Ye Qin sat cross-legged on the grass mat in front of the alchemy furnace. After the elixir cooled down, he swallowed the whole elixir directly and began to absorb the power of the medicine.
