Chapter 605
The summary of the alchemy process in the mortal world is nothing more than the following steps:
First is the decomposition and purification of medicinal materials; second is mixing the components of different medicinal materials in stages; then, refining the different components to obtain a new structure (medicinal properties); finally, stabilizing the structure (forming the elixir).
However, this summary of the mortal world has a prerequisite, which is that it excludes the factors of immortal spiritual energy and Qi luck. If these two factors are added, everything becomes unpredictable.
In the history of the Creation Temple, there is no lack of people who were suddenly blessed with great luck, forming an elixir as soon as the furnace was lit, and every single one looked as if it had been tattooed.
The difficulty in refining the Great Sun Morning Glory Elixir lies in the large size of the medicinal materials and the large size of the furnace. Within the alchemical fire, a cultivator's spiritual sense cannot persist for long, yet its refining time is quite long.
This is refining with fierce fire, where spiritual sense is difficult to replenish. The requirement for seven days of alchemy is even higher than three months of gentle fire. Methods like water refining or cold refining, even if they last three to five years, do not have such high requirements for spiritual sense.
After being pointed out by Xu Henshui, Wei Yuan had corrected all the errors he indicated and, based on this, discovered seven or eight other errors that Xu Henshui had not pointed out.
At this moment, the alchemical fire in the furnace was rising fiercely, and the leaves of the Radiant Grass inside the furnace were gradually melting like ice. When it was half-melted, Wei Yuan added the first batch of auxiliary medicinal materials, followed by the second and third batches.
After all the medicinal materials had entered the furnace in turn and the main ingredients had also melted, Wei Yuan used Dao power to close the furnace lid and boost the alchemical fire.
The difficulty at this time lies in how to precisely grasp the situation inside the furnace. Even with Wei Yuan's current spiritual sense, it is difficult to do, and Xu Henshui is even less capable.
Xu Henshui mainly relies on practical refining experience, combined with the alchemical book data left by predecessors, to make fuzzy judgments and improve the precision of control as much as possible.
Although Wei Yuan's main body's spiritual sense is not quite enough, his spiritual sense is not limited to his main body.
Thus, three more figures appeared in the alchemy room. The two civil and martial guards sat at the east and west positions of the alchemy furnace, while Wei Yuan himself sat facing south from the north. Long Ying bowed to Wei Yuan and said with a smile, "This is my first time refining elixirs; I will try my best not to disappoint you, fellow Daoist."
Wei Yuan returned the salute: "Everything has a first time. Please sit, fellow Daoist."
"Very good." Long Ying flicked his sleeves and took his seat in the south.
Subsequently, four strands of spiritual sense crisscrossed and shuttled, constantly scanning inside the alchemy furnace, and all changes within the furnace were under control.
A huge transparent alchemy furnace was manifested in the mortal world, and the various changes inside could be clearly seen. Every time the four strands of spiritual sense scanned, the situation inside the furnace would be updated once.
Thousands of mortals were already sitting around the alchemy furnace. They were all people with extraordinary talent and a keen interest in alchemy, and at this moment, they were analyzing and learning at the same time.
A prompt sounded in Wei Yuan's ear: "The alchemical fire in the furnace has not reached the optimal temperature, and some auxiliary materials are melting too slowly. You can increase external true fire or spiritual fire to improve it."
With a thought from Wei Yuan, three Dao Foundation warriors appeared in the alchemy room. They sat cross-legged and began to blow Dao fire at the bottom of the alchemy furnace.
Half an hour later, the three men's Dao power was exhausted, and Wei Yuan replaced them with three other Dao Foundation warriors. In any case, there were many Dao Foundation warriors, enough to keep replacing them.
A moment later, a reminder sounded again: "The particle size of the main ingredients is too high, and there are large fragments present. You need to add Metal-element immortal energy."
Wei Yuan immediately took out a wisp of the aura of the Langya Divine Wood, and immediately after, the reminder came again: "The quantity is too much."
Wei Yuan then returned half of it and put it into the alchemy furnace.
The entire alchemy process was just like this, with various fine-tuning. Sometimes there were strict requirements for the timing of Wei Yuan's actions, and even Wei Yuan felt it was a bit cumbersome.
Just like this, busy and bustling, completely lacking Xu Henshui's ease and elegance.
In the blink of an eye, it was the seventh day. Three long laughs came from the alchemy room next door, followed by faint heavenly sounds. The fragrance of elixirs overflowed, and a ray of light even pierced through the roof.
The alchemists in the entire alchemy courtyard were alarmed and rushed to the door of the alchemy room, waiting to offer congratulations.
A moment later, the door of the alchemy room opened, and Xu Henshui walked out smiling amidst the lingering fragrance of elixirs. Twelve elixirs danced around his body, five of which had faint silver patterns flickering on them.
Ordinary Morning Glory Elixirs can increase the breakthrough probability by half a percent, while those with elixir patterns can increase the probability by one percent, and the price also jumped directly from 50,000 immortal silver to 150,000.
Xu Henshui's furnace of elixirs not only had two more pills, but also two more with elixir patterns, and the whole furnace was worth 1.1 million immortal silver. And because Xu Henshui has a reputation abroad, as a famous alchemist, the elixirs he produces have to add another ten percent to the price, which is 1.2 million immortal silver.
The value of this furnace of elixirs has slightly exceeded twenty times the input cost, which is Xu Henshui's peak work in recent years. No wonder his complexion is so good.
There were some strange movements in the alchemy room next door. Xu Henshui glanced at it and said, "Wei Yuan still needs some time, don't disturb him yet. I suppose this furnace of his might produce six pills. Refining spiritual medicine of the level of the Great Sun Morning Glory Elixir for the first time, not blowing up the furnace can already be said to be exceptionally talented."
The alchemists nodded one after another. Their cultivation was insufficient, and they had not yet refined the Morning Glory Elixir, so naturally they were not qualified to comment on Wei Yuan. And refining with fierce fire is the easiest to blow up the furnace; it can be said that every alchemist must have had a few experiences of blowing up the furnace. Just as they were laughing and talking, there was a sudden boom in Wei Yuan's alchemy room, the roof was blown away, and a column of black smoke went straight up ten zhang! In the smoke column, the furnace lid was thrown far away and landed several dozen zhang away.
Xu Henshui wished he could slap himself. Why did he have to say something about blowing up the furnace? As a result, the crow's mouth really hit the mark. It's just that Wei Yuan's furnace seemed to have blown up a bit too fiercely?
The alchemists rushed over and pushed down the wall of the alchemy room directly to save people. In an alchemy furnace explosion of this level, those with slightly weaker Dharma bodies could be shaken into serious injury just by the shock.
The alchemy room was filled with smoke and fire, the huge alchemy furnace was overturned on the ground, Wei Yuan was covered in dust, his Dharma robe was tattered, and the ground was piled with miscellaneous items. The miscellaneous items were filled with precious light, and there were quite a few good things.
Obviously, the Dharma robe and storage magic treasure on Wei Yuan could not withstand the destruction and were scrapped again. As for his physical body, the strength far exceeded that of the Dharma robe, and it was just covered with a little dust.
Seeing that Wei Yuan was fine, the big stone in Xu Henshui's heart finally landed, but he rubbed his eyes, as if he saw a red figure rummaging through the pile of miscellaneous items, but it seemed he didn't see it. In the time it took to rub his eyes, the figure had already disappeared.
Seeing many alchemists watching, Wei Yuan was a bit embarrassed and said, "Master Uncle Xu, your alchemy furnace is a bit small and can't hold so many elixirs."
When elixirs are formed, many elixirs will repel each other, so the size of the alchemy furnace must be appropriate. If it is too small, it is easy to blow up the furnace, except for alchemy furnaces with the attribute of Mustard Seed Sumeru.
But many alchemists showed strange expressions, thinking, how many elixirs did you produce in this furnace, and you still think such a large alchemy furnace is small?
While cleaning up the miscellaneous items all over the floor, Wei Yuan picked out black elixirs one by one from the miscellaneous items. Xu Henshui scanned with his spiritual sense and knew that what Wei Yuan picked up were all fully refined elixirs, which counted as finished products, and nodded secretly.
However, as he watched, Xu Henshui's complexion changed. Why is he still picking them up endlessly?
!
In the end, under the surprised gazes of the alchemists, Wei Yuan picked out a total of twenty-eight elixirs, secretly matching the number of constellations.
Subsequently, Wei Yuan took out an elixir that was obviously a circle larger, wiped the elixir dust off it with his sleeve, and a ray of light suddenly soared into the sky! There were actually three purple elixir patterns on this elixir!
Xu Henshui could hardly believe his eyes. Three patterns can already be called mysterious elixirs, which can increase the breakthrough probability by thirty percent. This one alone is worth one million immortal silver!
Wei Yuan continued to wipe the dust off the elixirs. This kind of dust is also elixir dust, which can block spiritual sense and spiritual energy. If it is not wiped clean, the quality of the elixirs inside cannot be seen. As the elixirs bloomed with light again one by one, even Xu Henshui became numb in the end.
Wei Yuan refined the number of constellations in one furnace, produced one with three patterns, secretly matching the Purple Micro, and three with two patterns, secretly matching the Seven Killings, Broken Army, and Greedy Wolf, in addition to seven with one pattern, and the rest were ordinary elixirs.
This furnace is worth more than three million immortal silver, exceeding sixty times the input cost, directly chasing the Master Dan Ming True Lord of the past.
At this time, Xu Henshui knew that Wei Yuan was not wrong. A full twenty-eight pills, this furnace really couldn't hold them.
Actually, before the furnace blew up, Wei Yuan's alchemy room was particularly lively.
Wei Yuan's main body and the three Dharma forms each guarded one side, seven Dao Foundations below were setting fires, and six Dao Foundations above were blowing cold wind. Immortal spiritual energy was added seven times in three types, and Qi luck had to be invested at each elixir formation node, a total of three times, totaling more than a thousand strands of green Qi, and then the alchemy furnace blew up.
At this time, there was also a chicken-flying-dog-jumping situation in the mortal world. Based on the faint malice towards the Creation Immortal Venerable of unknown origin, the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick criticized this alchemy process as being full of mistakes, committing more than thirty major and minor errors in total. If there were no mistakes and a larger alchemy furnace was used, it would have been possible to collect the number of Heavenly Gangs.
The Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick also pointed out that the elixir recipe itself had problems and seemed to have room for optimization.
Wei Yuan originally paid special attention to it, but after checking the background of these Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chicks, he found that they had no alchemy experience at all, yet they opened their mouths to say that the elixir recipe had problems. Thus, Wei Yuan marked these Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chicks for key monitoring.
Although this furnace of elixirs had many problems, the harvest was huge, which was exactly what Wei Yuan urgently needed.
That evening, Bao Yun looked at the three-pattern mysterious elixir on the table, her face both worried and happy.
At midnight, Feng Tingyu returned from the mountain, and as soon as she entered the room, she saw the two-pattern Morning Glory Elixir placed on the table.
Her nose twitched, and before she could think, the elixir had already gone down her stomach. Then there was some doubt on her small face: what did this medicine taste like?
The next moment, the Azure Void wind and clouds changed suddenly, the tribulation clouds suddenly formed, and rolling pure thunder tribulation descended from the sky, leveling Feng Tingyu's residence to the ground.
In the thunder and fire, a young girl was reborn, her skin like snow.
It's just that the thunder tribulation was fierce, she was not prepared, and her Dharma robe had long since turned into flying ash. Fortunately, the disciples of the King Hall have physical bodies comparable to magic treasures, and things like Dharma robes are just decorations. Feng Tingyu refined her body with thunder and fire, and while enjoying it, she was still wondering, how did the heavenly tribulation come so suddenly?
It's just that at this time Wei Yuan had already started refining the second furnace of Great Sun Morning Glory Elixir, forgetting both things and himself, and did not know about this matter. If he knew, he would have come over to protect the Dharma at close range no matter what.
Xu Henshui left Azure Void before dark, saying he was returning to the main mountain to get something. From this, Wei Yuan knew that this Master Uncle's Dao heart had indeed gone wrong again and still needed to be tempered.
