Mortal Seeking Immortal

As the spiritual herbs in the small furnace were refined into powder, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out of the small furnace.

Ye Zhou was very excited.

"I really have a talent for alchemy. I will try to eat Huangyundan as candy in the future!"

Just when everything was going very smoothly, the small furnace suddenly began to "buzz" and tremble. With a "hiss", a puff of black smoke came out of the small furnace!

Then the alchemy room was filled with a burnt stench.

Ye Zhou was slightly stunned.

"Ah, this... it's really impossible to make an alchemy!"

Ye Zhou thought he had memorized all the details of Shu Lao's operation, but he still failed in the first alchemy.

Ye Zhou frowned slightly.

"The steps of putting in the spiritual herbs are correct. They are completely in accordance with the steps of Shu Lao's alchemy at that time. Could it be because of the fire?"

Ye Zhou murmured in a low voice, and his eyes were on the stone platform in front of him, but this was the central area of ​​the alchemy pavilion, and the fire supply was very stable.

"What went wrong?" Ye Zhou stared at the small furnace in front of him and thought hard.

Without thinking this through, he couldn't make the elixir again, otherwise the first time he made the elixir would not have brought him any lessons.

Ye Zhou sat on the futon, his brain started to work frantically, recalling the whole process of Shu Lao's elixir making over and over again.

"Could it be that the elixir is not old enough?"

"That's not right. If the age is not enough, the Huangyun Dan made from it will be less effective at best..."

"The fire..."

"Yes! It's the fire!"

Ye Zhou's eyes lit up, and he finally figured out the key to the problem.

"When Shu Lao made the elixir, he made the fire himself. The fire seemed stable throughout the whole process, but in fact it was of different sizes. It seemed stable on the surface, but it was not as stable as the fire in the alchemy room!"

In other words, Shu Lao's "stability" is not equal to the "stability" of the alchemy room!

Because the fire is different, the temperature in the furnace is naturally different.

So you can't just memorize and follow Shu Lao's whole process of making the elixir.

"So that's how it is. Because the temperature changes differently, the time to put in the spiritual herbs will also be different."

"It seems that the more important thing in the process of alchemy is to sense the temperature in the furnace, rather than memorizing and learning the alchemy techniques of masters by rote!"

After figuring out the problem, Ye Zhou quickly cleaned up the black ash in the small furnace, and he continued to add spiritual herbs.

......

Soon the second batch of spiritual herbs had been put in, and he had no extra spiritual herbs to experiment with, only three furnaces of 500-year-old medicinal materials were left.

The loss of low-year medicinal materials is nothing, but if the 500-year-old medicinal materials are all ruined, Ye Zhou will really feel pain for a long time.

After all, the small gourd can only make one medicinal material grow for 500 years a day at a time, and these medicinal materials are what he has accumulated with great difficulty over so many years.

If they are scrapped, it will take a long time to accumulate again.

This time, Ye Zhou was careful in every move, and carefully recalled what temperature Shu Lao placed what medicinal materials.

As time passed, a faint fragrance of elixir emanated from the small furnace, and Ye Zhou's spirits were lifted.

Crack, crack, crack...

The small furnace began to shake, and three yellow pills that had already formed kept hitting the lid of the furnace, as if they wanted to fly out of the furnace.

Ye Zhou waited for another five hours, and suddenly a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes!

"The time is just right!"

Then he waved his hand, and the furnace lid opened instantly. Three small pills flew out of the small furnace and slowly fell into Ye Zhou's palm.

Opening his palm, Ye Zhou saw three pearl-sized pills with a faint fragrance lying quietly in his hand, and he was immediately overjoyed.

"Huang Yundan, the Huang Yundan that I have been thinking about for a long time, was finally refined by me. Although the quality of the pill is still a little worse, I can learn from this experience next time and control the timing of adding medicinal materials more accurately. The quality of the pill will also improve as I become more proficient in the operation!"

Ye Zhou took out a bottle of medicine to restore spiritual power and took it, and began to meditate, ready to restore all the spiritual power he had consumed and refine the pill in the best state.

"The next step is to refine the super Huangyun Pill made of 500-year-old medicinal materials."

It's really strange.

The medicinal materials in Ye Zhou's hand to refine Huangyun Pill are either too old and insufficient in efficacy, or too old and explosive in efficacy. Ye Zhou is a little worried that the Huangyun Pill made of 500-year-old medicinal materials will be too potent and cause him to explode and die.

"Take half a pill and try it!"

...

Four days passed in a flash.

Ye Zhou looked at the two jade bottles on the stone platform with joy. One of the jade bottles contained three Huangyun Pills made of low-year-old medicinal materials, and the other small bottle contained nine high-year-old Huangyun Pills.

Putting the jade bottle into the storage bag, Ye Zhou couldn't wait to leave the stone room and wanted to go back to try the efficacy of the high-year-old Huangyun Pill.

Arriving at the hall of the Alchemy Pavilion, the white-bearded old man saw Ye Zhou at a glance, smiled at Ye Zhou and asked curiously: "Little kid, four days have passed, have you refined the Yellow Cloud Pill?"

Ye Zhou said with a little pride: "Of course, I have said that even Mr. Shu said that I have a talent for alchemy, so I naturally slapped Mr. Shu in the face and disappointed him!"

Ye Zhou took out three low-year Yellow Cloud Pills from the storage bag: "It's embarrassing to say that I prepared ten furnaces of medicinal materials for practice, but only refined one furnace in ten days, which is far less than Mr. Shu who can refine more than a hundred high-quality pills at one time."

The moment the old man saw the three Huangyun Pills, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Is this still human language?

He succeeded once in ten times for the first time in refining pills!

This is enough to make many inner disciples who are learning to refine pills ashamed.

You know, the most difficult part of refining pills is to succeed in the first furnace.

After the first successful experience, the rest will be a natural and much easier.

Although the old man is very skilled in refining pill furnaces, refining pills is his weakness.

He remembered that he had to scrap more than a hundred furnaces to succeed in refining Huangyun Pills.

A handful of bitter tears.

At that time, he was nearly thirty years old, and this little kid was only nine or ten years old.

The shock in his heart can be imagined.

"Good boy! Although the efficacy of these three pills is far inferior to that of ordinary Huangyun Pills, and the quality is also a bit inferior, at least they have been made into pills!"

"Could it be that this boy is really a genius in alchemy as Mr. Shu said? In time, his achievements in alchemy may surpass Mr. Shu!"

"It's a pity that his spiritual roots are too poor. I'm afraid he will have to go through thousands of difficulties and dangers to successfully build a foundation in this life."

"Since you have such a unique talent in alchemy, I can sell you my Three Dragons Spit Pearl Furnace for 300 spirit stones. However, when you succeed in alchemy in the future, you must refine 100 high-quality Huangyun Pills for me, and I can provide the herbs!" The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile.

One hundred Huangyun Pills are worth at least one thousand low-grade spirit stones.

If this business is successful, he can make a lot of money and find a home for his beloved Three Dragons Spit Pearl Furnace!
