Dou Po: The Alchemist from the Ye Family

In the red medicine cauldron, the silver-white flames reflected on the surrounding walls, splaying their teeth and claws like a ghost.

Ye Chen looked serious and felt a little nervous...

There was no way around it. After all, it was his first time to experiment with his own hands. Even though he had mastered everything and had his ancestor beside him to remind him at any time, he would still be nervous when he should be nervous.

"Don't be anxious, take your time, get familiar with this medicine cauldron first..." The ancestor's gentle voice sounded in his ears, which relieved Ye Chen's tension a lot.

Under Ye Chen's control, the flame circled around the medicine cauldron, evenly increasing the temperature inside the medicine cauldron, and then suspended in the center of the medicine cauldron, waiting for the medicinal materials to be put in.

For Ye Chen, who has Spark, this first step of refining medicine gives him a great advantage.

You know, even at the Dou Master level, many people cannot condense real fire out of thin air. They need to rely on the special structure of the medicine cauldron to generate flames with their own fighting spirit...

Not to mention the temperature of such a fighting spirit flame, just because it requires a large amount of fighting spirit to generate, it is destined to consume a lot of money.

Seeing how easily Ye Chen completed the preparations, the ancestor of the Ye family nodded with satisfaction, unable to hide the smile in his eyes.

"Control the flame so that its temperature does not change drastically, and gradually increase the temperature in the medicine cauldron..."

After hearing the reminder, Ye Chen just nodded slightly and controlled the flame to remain constant.

This shows the key to the 2 points of fire control he added...

You know, for a novice alchemist, the first two major hurdles that he needs to face is to be able to stably control his own flames.

After all, the flame temperature in the medicinal cauldron is very high, and many medicinal materials have very strict temperature requirements. A slight difference may cause damage to the medicinal materials, and the refining of the medicine will naturally fail.

In addition, the remaining second level is naturally the control of soul power...

Seeing that Ye Chen's preparation steps were going very smoothly, the smile on the Ye family ancestor's face became even stronger...

He took out a gray scroll and said softly: "This is a recipe for a first-grade healing medicine. It contains the names of the required medicinal materials, the heat for refining them, and the ingredients of the medicinal materials that need to be refined. You should try it first."

Ye Chen took the scroll and read it carefully...

It is just a first-grade healing medicine, which is the simplest type, so it does not require many medicinal materials, only three types.

"Ningxue Powder requires one coagulation grass, two myogenic grasses, and one moon lotus."

Ningxue San is a general name for a very common general healing medicine, which is named after the main drug Ningxuecao.

However, because each family has different prescriptions and requires different auxiliary drugs, the quality of the coagulation powder produced by different pharmacists is also different.

The Ye family's coagulation powder is considered to be the top-notch type. After all, myogenic grass and moon lotus are of high value and are very effective.

Similarly, this will increase the difficulty of refining medicinal materials.

Generally speaking, only those who have reached the peak level of a first-grade alchemist or a second-grade alchemist can guarantee a pill-forming rate of more than 70%.

Of course, Ye Chen only needs to be able to successfully extract the medicinal materials now, and does not need to consider the subsequent integration and configuration of medicinal effects.

After carefully memorizing the requirements and key points of the prescription, Ye Chen took a deep breath and started refining the medicinal materials for the first time.

Picking up a dark red coagulation grass that had been placed beside him, he threw it directly from the mouth of the ferocious beast on the top of the medicine cauldron...

As soon as the blood coagulation grass entered the medicine cauldron, before Ye Chen could react, the silver star flames were fluttering and trying to pounce on it.

This startled Ye Chen, and in panic, he tried his best to calm his flames.

Looking at Xinghuo who had calmed down, Ye Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief...

I thought this first time would be over in just a few seconds.

The ancestor of the Ye family next to him also nodded with satisfaction when he saw this, "Not bad, the reaction is very fast, and the control of the flame is also okay."

This situation was originally expected by him.

The reason why Ye Chen was not reminded in advance was because he wanted to let him experience it personally and deepen his memory...

But he didn't expect Ye Chen's performance to be even better than he expected.

After hearing the ancestor's praise, Ye Chen felt a little proud, but just because of this relaxation, the temperature of the spark in the medicine cauldron instantly went out of control for a second...

Although it only lasted a second, when I looked inside the medicine cauldron, I saw that a blood-coagulating grass had turned into pitch-black ashes, and was finally expelled from the cauldron by the special settings in the medicine cauldron.

Ye Chen's face darkened. Was he being slapped in the face?

Sure enough, this thing cannot tolerate slacking off at all.

Seeing this, the ancestor of the Ye family just smiled slightly, without any other expression, but comforted: "It's okay, it's the first time, accidents will inevitably happen. Just try again..."

Anyway, the ancestor of the Ye family has prepared a lot of medicinal materials this time, just so that this kid can work hard to make it until you can successfully refine it even if you close your eyes, and then you can start combining the medicine.

Naturally, Ye Chen didn't know his ancestor's terrifying thoughts, otherwise he would have just found a way to run away at this time.

This first failure actually aroused his competitive spirit. After calming down a little, he picked up a blood clotting grass again and threw it into the medicine cauldron.

Of course, refining medicine is really not an easy task...

Although Ye Chen has natural flames and powerful soul power, these are only the prerequisites for him to become a high-level alchemist. If you want to truly become a qualified alchemist, having these talents alone is not enough.

"The temperature is high. Don't be impatient when refining medicinal materials. A slight difference in temperature can cause damage to the medicinal materials..."

Looking at the blood coagulation grass that was burned again, the Ye family ancestor's face remained calm and his tone remained gentle.

But Ye Chen was a little anxious at this time.

After all, it was refined more than ten times in succession, but only four or five times were successful. Most of the medicinal materials were either damaged because the temperature was too high or too low, and the vast majority were damaged because the temperature was out of control.

Seeing that Ye Chen's mood was beginning to become agitated, the ancestor of the Ye family did not press any more, but made a few words and asked Ye Chen to go out and take a rest.

After all, Ye Chen is not even a fighter now. Although he has the help of Spark, the fighting energy will be almost consumed after refining it four or five times each time. Next, he needs to rely on elixirs to restore it before continuing.

This kind of high-intensity refining is indeed a bit difficult for a child who is only five or six years old.

After Ye Chen left, Ye Chong walked out of the darkness.

Apparently when Ye Chen was refining medicinal materials before, his identity as both the head of the Ye family and Ye Chen's grandfather made him couldn't help but want to take a look.
