Tiandao Library

Fingers slid across the alchemy furnace, Zhang Xuan continued: "If you don't believe me, I will tell you now."

"This elixir furnace is seven feet three inches high and three feet two inches wide. It was refined seven years and three months ago by the craftsman Sanmo of Shijingfang. A total of 140 seven elixirs have been refined, including 88 times for the first-grade elixir, which is less than Yipin’s pills were 59 times! In the process of carrying them, they suffered three impacts, and there were thirteen fine marks on the top and bottom of the whole tripod. When refining ordinary pills, it is harmless. When it becomes a pill, the potency of the medicine is insufficient, and the level is lowered!"

"The thickness of this tripod is more than an inch. To fully penetrate the heat, it takes a stick of incense and 34 breaths. The thickness of the walls on the left and right sides of the tripod is slightly different, with a difference of three hair strands. Don't underestimate the thickness. , there will be a 5.00% difference in the heat on both sides, therefore, putting medicinal materials in the left and right positions will make the medicinal effects of the flowers and herbs in the Runxue Pill completely different!"

"real or fake?"

"There are so many sayings in one furnace?"

……

Hearing Zhang Xuan's eloquent talk in the middle, many alchemists below opened their mouths and were about to go crazy.

Although they also knew that pill furnaces were different, and the grades of the pills refined were different, but they never dreamed that there were so many sayings about one pill furnace.

and……

This is the cauldron that the Alchemist Guild just moved in for this alchemy debate. How did he know such details?Even where it was refined, the thickness and size of the cauldron, how many times the pill has been refined... are all clear?

Nima, this is too heaven-defying!

You can see this at a glance, are you... a monster?

"After talking about the furnace cauldron, let me talk about the furnace fire!"

Ignoring everyone's surprise, Zhang Xuan pointed to the flames under the cauldron: "This is the [Tiandu Coal] burning out, the hottest place can melt steel into juice, combined with the true energy of the martial artist, it can easily Control the size of the fire, so you can control the temperature."

"However... the flame and the medicine are not in direct contact. The medicine we refine is formed inside the furnace, and the flames outside pass through the wall of the furnace. We must grasp how much remains in the furnace."

"Tiandu coal is the best coal for alchemy. Not to mention the high flame temperature, it also has strong penetrating power. Ordinary coal only retains 30.00% of the heat through an inch or so of the tripod wall. This kind of coal can Keep 40.00% six! Only by knowing this rule can you confirm the medicinal materials inside, how high the temperature can withstand, and how long it will take for the best fusion of medicinal effects to achieve the highest quality medicinal pill!"

"Of course, these are just the most basic things for alchemists, and they are not considered shortcomings. I just introduce them casually!"

Zhang Xuan smiled and looked to one side: "However, I still want to ask Alchemist Bai Ming, before refining the elixir, these... have you noticed?"

Alchemist Bai Ming only felt his scalp go numb, and he almost fainted.

Pay attention, pay attention to your sister!

I just make a pill casually, these things are so complicated, how do I know?

Moreover, even if you want to pay attention, there is no way. Could it be possible to find a ruler to measure the furnace first, and then test the temperature of the furnace little by little?

If it really wants to be like this, after two or three days, you still have to make a wool pill?

Chapter 1 The Collapsed Alchemist Bai Ming [Addition 2 to the daily life of the lord, Xiaoguai]

Depressed in his heart, Bai Ming knew it and couldn't answer.

Before alchemy, check the cauldron and furnace fire. This is the most basic thing. Even if an apprentice can memorize it fluently, it is obviously a big mistake to make alchemy by yourself.

In the words of Zhang Xuan's previous life, if you don't wear your seat belt before driving, don't look at the tires and the surrounding environment of the car body, and just put it in gear, even if there is an accident, there is no reason to argue.

The current Bai Ming is in this state. Being taught by an apprentice in public, he can't step down from the stage, but he can't refute it. One can imagine the depression in his heart.

"I talked about the cauldron and fire, let's take a look at the fusion medicinal materials!"

Knowing that the other party had no way to answer, Zhang Xuan didn't bother to continue asking, and came to the shelf where the medicinal materials were placed: "Acupoint-moistening pills require a total of 47 kinds of medicines. Among so many medicines, some medicines have similar properties, and some have conflicting properties. conflicts, it is easy for the pill to be scrapped!"

"Let me talk about the order of alchemists Bai Ming first!"

"He was the first to put Macaroni into it! Macaroni is smooth to the heart, resistant to high temperatures, and its medicinal power needs to be tempered in a big fire to extract it. The first one is put into the furnace, which can be exposed to heat earlier and stimulate the medicinal properties. , This is right. But... the mistake is that he put in macaroni, and after seven breaths, he put in the second medicinal material, palm split flower!"

"The macaroni he took, if I read correctly, it should be only half a year old, and the medicinal power is not strong, it is basically concentrated on the leaves, and has not penetrated into the meridian. If it is released, under normal circumstances, four breaths should be put into the palm split flower, but he has postponed it until the seventh, which makes the medicinal effect lose 13.00% in vain, a failure!"

"The palm split flower is five years old, and the medicinal power is relatively strong. When refining, it should be slowly lowered against the left side of the furnace. The falling process takes about one and a half breaths. During this time, the hot furnace can make the medicinal effect come into play. , to better integrate with Macaroni. As for alchemist Bai Ming, he directly threw the medicinal materials in, which made him lose the opportunity to contact the furnace in advance, and the medicinal effect was not fully exerted, and he lost 14.00%, which is a failure!"

"The medicinal properties of these two medicinal materials are slightly conflicting, and the neutralizing flocculus should be put in right after, but he put the berserk attribute unique drug, so that the medicinal properties of the two conflicted again, losing 11.00% again, a failure! "

"Du**** has a yang attribute, and is naturally hot and dry. After entering the hot furnace, it is the right way to neutralize it with cooling herbs immediately. However, alchemist Bai Ming put Zhimucao, the medicine of Zhimucao and any medicines. All are compatible, it is the best choice to neutralize all medicines, but because of this, the yang attribute of the unique medicine is completely resolved, resulting in the effect of the moistening point pill is greatly reduced, and it failed!"

"……fail!"

"……fail!"

"……fail!"

……

Zhang Xuan spoke faster and faster, like a machine gun, every sentence was well-founded and rooted, every failure, he wanted to hit alchemist Bai Ming's face with a sledgehammer, making his face whiter and body whiter. It was an involuntary trembling.

Alchemy is not a child's play. The same medicinal material has different effects in different years. It involves various collocations and the fusion of furnaces, etc., which is cumbersome and complicated. It is just a acupuncture point pill. If you want to elaborate, it will take less than three days. Can't say enough!

Because of this, the profession of alchemist can be ranked high among the top nine professions.

"He... is right!"

"With just one glance at alchemy, can you remember the order in which Bai Ming's 47 alchemists put in the medicinal ingredients? What kind of memory is this?"

"It's not a big deal to remember the order, the key is... you can see the year of each medicinal plant at a glance, how to match them to better exert the medicinal effect...or is it human?"

"Hearing what he said, there are too many things that need to be combined in alchemy. No wonder my elixir has never been perfect or even the elixir pattern. It turns out that..."

……

Hearing Zhang Xuan's words, everyone was dumbfounded, each of them was stunned as if they had been hit in the head with a club.

Nima!

This is called alchemy!

We were wasting medicinal materials and insulting the profession of alchemy before!

It can be foreseen that if he really uses his method to make alchemy, the elixir will definitely be upgraded to a higher level. Perfection and alchemy are not dreams!

This is no longer a theory that a first-rank alchemist can touch, but something that a higher alchemist can grasp.

Everyone was surprised, alchemist Bai Ming on one side wanted to die.

Hearing what the other party said, he was all failures. He wasn't making alchemy, he was just making shit!

The key is... at least there is no waste in refining shit, but after he finished refining the pill, it is equivalent to wasting all the medicinal materials...

puff!

The chest became more and more depressed, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

All along, he thought that he was very talented in alchemy, and he was a veritable and brilliant alchemist. After hearing the other party's words, he realized that this level is not even as good as a child's!

He was very confident before, but he lost his confidence when he heard the other party continue talking. Now, he probably doesn't even dare to approach the pill furnace anymore.

The body trembled, and alchemist Bai Ming, who was still high-spirited just now, wanted to trouble Zhang Xuan, his face became more and more ugly, as if he had gone mad.

After a while, he gritted his teeth.

"Yeah, at my level, how can I make pills? It's a waste of resources and a waste of medicinal materials! Starting today, I understand that if I don't refine a single pill, if I violate this oath, I will be punished by heaven and earth!"

An oath sounded.

"what?"

"No more alchemy?"

"Alchemist Bai Ming..."

……

Hearing the oath he made, everyone was stunned, each of them trembled involuntarily, with a feeling of sadness in their hearts.

A dignified alchemist, vowing not to make alchemy again is tantamount to saying goodbye to the world of alchemy, and all the hard work of his life will be in vain.

And the reason for this kind of thing was that an alchemy apprentice pointed out his shortcomings in alchemy!

"Is he too reckless..."

An alchemist couldn't help but said.

"What if you were the first to be blamed, what would happen?" Another alchemist couldn't help but ask.

"I..." The first alchemist paused, unable to say a word.

What the other party said was right, if it wasn't Bai Ming alchemist just now, but him, and after refining the elixir, he realized that his techniques and actions were useless, and all his efforts were useless, I am afraid that the confidence that has persisted for many years will collapse in an instant!

Once this kind of confidence is lost, even if you want to make alchemy in the future, you will have no choice. Instead of doing that, you might as well just swear that you will never make alchemy again!

Alchemy is not fried beans, not a child's play, state of mind, technique, self-confidence... all are indispensable, if self-confidence is lost, what is the alchemist?

"Simply pointing out the shortcomings made a veteran alchemist lose confidence, and he never dared to make alchemy..."

This idea popped up in everyone's mind at the same time, and they looked at Zhang Xuan again, their hearts twitching non-stop.

No wonder he expressed his attitude from the beginning, he didn't want to talk about the flaws in alchemy, he thought it was because he couldn't see it, and deliberately made use of his strengths to make up for his weaknesses. You feel ashamed for coming out to attack!

Brother, we just want to ask, are you an alchemy apprentice, or are we?

Chapter 1: True Alchemy Debate

"I surrender!"

After saying no more alchemy, Bai Ming alchemist bowed to the end.

The alchemy debate started, plus the alchemy time, it was only a little more than an hour, and four alchemists had voluntarily surrendered.

This result was beyond everyone's expectation, even Ouyang Cheng on one side was trembling all over, unable to believe it.

He had never been optimistic about Zhang Xuan before, and he never dreamed that this result would happen!

Simply crushing!

No wonder he was able to get full marks in the apprenticeship assessment, and even recognize medicinal ingredients that even he had misunderstood. This ability is too powerful!

Wen Xue on one side was also full of panic, her delicate body trembling constantly.

I actually laughed at this person who made the alchemist speechless... Is there something wrong with his brain or he is too courageous?

Fortunately, the other party didn't care about it, otherwise, the alchemist guild might not be able to stay any longer!

"Let me do it!"

Seeing that Bai Ming conceded, Du Man, who had said before that he was going to stand out, walked out when no one spoke.

"I hope you will be merciful!"

With a wry smile on his face, Du Man came to the alchemy furnace.

What is refined is the first-grade [Enhancing Qi Pill], which is slightly inferior to the Runxue Pill and Jingxin Pill.

His techniques are proficient and fast, and he successfully refined them in a short time, all of which are full-bodied.

The attitude of the other party is friendly, and they met yesterday, so Zhang Xuan didn't say too much, only pointed out a few most obvious shortcomings, and the latter directly admitted defeat.

So far, out of ten alchemists, five have conceded defeat.

The alchemy debate is also halfway through.

"Continue, who is next?"

Zhang Xuan put his hands behind his back, looked around lightly, and everyone fell silent for a while.

When others argue about alchemy, they are those who participate in the assessment because they are afraid that the other party will ask difficult questions. This guy is good. The rest of the alchemists shrink their necks for fear of being mentioned. If they didn't see it with their own eyes, no one would believe it. .

"I come!"

After a dull moment, an old man stood up.

Alchemist, Lin Mu!

Alchemist Cheng Jiang once used the excuse of discussing skills to secretly learn his unique alchemy technique, Bingsi Ningshou.

"Master Lin Dan, wait! I want to be with you this time!"

Just as Lin Mu stood up, a middle-aged man also stood up.

Alchemist Jin Chen!

"Together?" Lin Mu frowned.

Alchemy makes the other party point out the shortcomings, how can the two be together?

"He can tell his shortcomings, which means that his eyesight is indeed very good, he has received a good education, and it is very likely that he has a famous teacher behind him. However, I don't believe that he is so young and has a strong reserve of knowledge! So... the two of us are not Alchemy, ask questions directly, don't let him fool you!"
