Emperor of Nine Suns

In fact, Chu Chen has seen these steps countless times as Qingyue said. She just followed the instructions of the elder Lingxin and demonstrated these steps again in front of Chu Chen. After "Dan" was released, a day passed.

The two made an appointment and the next day, Chu Chen officially started refining the elixir with his own hands. Chu Chen originally proposed the idea of ​​refining the "Spirit Gathering Pill", but Qingyue told him that the method of refining elixirs is to proceed step by step. .

In the pharmacist apprenticeship stage, they mainly use body tempering pills, or some auxiliary and beauty elixirs. Only at the junior pharmacist stage can they refine "spirit-gathering pills", so Chu Chen should not be impatient.

"This is your first time refining medicine. As long as you can make one pill, it will be considered a success. I chose the Qingxin Pill for you. You can go to Elder Lingxin's study to check the information."

Elder Lingxin's study has a large collection of books, mainly books on various elixirs, refining medicines, and pharmacology. Chu Chen has been there several times before to help Elder Lingxin find books.

Qingxin Dan is a first-class low-grade elixir, and it is recorded in many books, so Chu Chen found it without any difficulty.

"Qingxin Dan is a first-level low-grade auxiliary elixir. It can brighten eyes, refresh the mind, refresh the mind, and help monks maintain their integrity and enter concentration quickly. The main ingredient is the first-level elixir 'Qingxincao'. This herb has a pleasant property It is shady and cool, but the medicinal properties are warm and cold, so you need to use a copper blade as a knife and quartz as an anvil..."

When he opened "The Preliminary Interpretation of the Alchemy Classic", other people read the content which was extremely confusing, but Chu Chen read it with great interest and fell asleep in the study without knowing it.

When Chu Chen started refining the medicine the next day, he found that Qingyue was even more nervous than he was. He kept comforting himself, repeatedly saying that it was extremely difficult for novices to succeed and not to take the initial success or failure too seriously.

When Chu Chen came to the medicine cabinet, he paused slightly and took a deep breath. By the time he exhaled, his hands were already moving very quickly.

After laying down the stone anvil and covering it with a bamboo mat, he held the copper blade in his hand and moved his hands slightly, imagining the blade shadows and moving very quickly. During this period of following Elder Lingxin, Chu Chen mainly learned the three steps of dividing medicine, washing medicine, and adjusting medicine, so he was already extremely familiar with this set of steps. Cut it with one knife, and you can get as many taels or cents as you want. There is no mistake at all.

Qingyue, who was extremely nervous at the side, felt her eyes light up. Chu Chen was much more professional than she imagined, and his skills were so skillful that he didn't look like a newcomer.

Seeing the light of Chu Chen's knife flashing, the dark golden copper knife transformed into a misty shadow of the knife in Chu Chen's hand. When the shadow of the knife dissipated, all the medicinal materials had been sorted according to strict weights. Senior Sister Qingyue She opened her lips slightly and wanted to exclaim involuntarily, but she was afraid of disturbing Chu Chen, so she hurriedly pressed her lips.

Chu Chen had only been following Elder Lingxin for less than a month.

His method of dividing medicine is already better than that of many pharmacists he has seen. No wonder the spiritual heart elders favor him so much.

After dividing the medicine, it is time to wash the medicine. The most troublesome part of this step is probably making the medicine-washing soup.

What Chu Chen did most with Elder Lingxin was to cleanse medicine, which was almost at the master level. In less than two hours, a pot of fragrant medicine-washing soup was ready.

This misfortune soup was as green as a pool, and the aroma it overflowed made Senior Sister Qingyue feel hungry.

"Gu Gu."

Senior Sister Qingyue wanted to hold it back, but her stomach growled twice, causing her face to turn red immediately. Being able to make a pot of Xi Yao Ling Soup extremely delicious was definitely unique to Chu Chen. ability.

"Senior Sister Qingyue seems to have not eaten much because of me. I will make a pot of snow chicken and ginseng soup for Senior Sister another day. It will definitely be nourishing." Chu Chen chuckled.

"Don't worry about me, you do your work." The embarrassed senior sister Qingyue quickly straightened her face.

Chu Chen was very familiar with the process of washing and mixing the medicine without making any mistakes. When he covered a fiery red medicine furnace with his hands, he couldn't help but feel excited.

It’s finally time to make alchemy for the first time!

After calming down slightly, Chu Chen clapped his hands, and the vast spiritual energy blasted into the fire gathering formation at the base of the medicine furnace. In an instant, a green flame began to burn blazingly. Chu Chen could clearly feel that depending on the strength of his input spiritual power, the temperature in the flame could be adjusted as he pleased, which was extremely convenient and flexible.

So, here we go!

With a slight breath, Chu Chen moved his fingers, and the "Qingxincao" elixir that had been prepared turned into a flash of blue light, submerged into the medicine furnace, and was instantly engulfed by a layer of soft blue flames.

Green flames filled the air, churning endlessly, bringing a trace of blazing heat to the entire ancient palace. Under Chu Chen's precise spiritual control, an entire Qingxincao withered quickly under the burning flames. The surface, branches and leaves quickly turned into flying ash and disappeared into smoke. A large group of green medicinal liquid was gradually left in place, rolling and transferring under the impact of the fire spiritual power.

In the process of refining medicine, the control of fire is crucial.

The temperature of the flame changes continuously with the change of the liquid medicine. The blazing green flame must ensure that the impurities in the liquid medicine can be burned cleanly, but it cannot damage the properties of the medicine. If you are not careful, there will be a slight mistake, and the temperature will suddenly drop. If it is increased, it is very likely that the entire ball of liquid will be completely incinerated.

Chu Chen concentrated wholeheartedly. In his body, the mighty spiritual power circulated back and forth, and was divided into dozens of channels at his fingertips and injected into the medicine furnace. This was his first real refining of medicine, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and beads of sweat the size of peas appeared on his forehead.

As the beads of sweat began to fall, Chu Chen changed his control from ten fingers to five, and raised his left hand to wipe away the sweat. However, Qing Yue, who was extremely nervous at the side, suddenly let out an exclamation, which stunned Chu Chen for a moment and affected his spiritual power. Output.

He saw the liquid medicine that was constantly rolling and scorching in the void paused for a moment, turned into liquid medicine that filled the sky with a splash, and fell down, and was instantly evaporated by the billowing green flames.

Well……

Chu Chen frowned and shook his head helplessly. Just one omission caused a slight stagnation in the movement of spiritual energy and destroyed a medicinal material. The requirements for this process of refining medicine are really too strict.

"I'm sorry, I influenced you."

Senior Sister Qingyue's face turned slightly red, looking extremely regretful.

"Senior sister, you are also concerned about me, and I wasn't sure this time. I'll try again." Chu Chen smiled.

"I'll wipe your sweat for you."

The apologetic Senior Sister Qingyue came over, picked up a towel and gently wiped the sweat on Chu Chen's forehead, "You don't have to insist on success next time. Any alchemist gradually learns from countless failures. The early stage alchemists who have grown up cannot even hope to refine a single elixir without destroying all the medicinal materials. It is no exaggeration to say that the profession of apothecary itself is created by countless elixirs. of."

"Yes, senior sister, I understand." Chu Chen nodded. He also knew that this was the main reason why the profession of pharmacists was rare. This business is really expensive.

But this time, the materials were kindly sponsored by Elder Lingxin, so Chu Chen didn't have any worries.
