Taoist world

Although everyone has a different understanding of medicine, the steps for refining medicine are generally the same, and can be divided into three steps.

The first step is burning.

Various medicinal materials are burnt into medicinal liquid at high temperature according to their properties in a certain order, and the impurities contained in them are slowly removed, leaving only the required medicinal properties.

The second step is fusion.

Blend all the medicinal liquid together.

The third step is to become a pill.

Slowly lower the temperature of the flame so that the fused liquid medicine gradually condenses into the desired shape, such as elixir, powder, ointment, dew, etc.

The whole process sounds simple but is extremely complicated to do.

For example, the first step is to use high temperature to melt medicinal materials. It seems that everyone can do it, but different medicinal materials have different melting points.

Some medicinal materials require low temperatures to melt, while other medicinal materials may require extremely high temperatures to melt.

This requires precise control of the temperature of the flame.

If the temperature is too high, the medicinal materials will be burned directly into gas, while if the temperature is too low, the medicinal materials will not be completely burned into liquid medicine.

What's more, during the burning process, the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials must be stimulated as much as possible.

A slight difference is a thousand miles away!

Even if it is just a single medicinal material, if the medicinal properties are stimulated a little less or a little more, it will affect the effect of the final medicine.

There is even a great possibility that the life-saving elixir will turn into a murderous poison.

Not to mention that a variety of medicinal materials are mixed together, and the distribution of medicinal properties is extremely particular.

In short, the combination of these complicated steps makes it extremely difficult to successfully refine the elixir.

Guan Yiming and others started the process more than half an hour earlier than Jiang Yun. When Jiang Yun started refining, the fastest among them had already completed the burning step.

But not long after Jiang Yun threw the first medicinal material into the flower-spreading furnace, there was a sudden loud noise not far from him.

The alchemy furnace of a third-grade pharmacist exploded!

The pharmacist's complexion suddenly turned extremely pale, because this meant that everything he had done for more than an hour earlier was in vain and he had to start all over again.

In this fifth round of competition, although the ten people maintained a certain distance between them, there was no isolation formation around each person.

Therefore, the other nine people could clearly hear such an explosion.

This is naturally done on purpose.

As a pharmacist, although he usually refines medicine in a special alchemy room, he is rarely affected by external forces or objects.

However, a true pharmacist must have a strong psychological quality that will not move even if the mountain collapses.

All nine people heard the sound of the furnace explosion, but seven people did not react at all.

But then, there were two loud noises, and the pill furnaces of two third-grade pharmacists exploded.

It was obvious that he was affected by the sound, his mind was shaken, and something went wrong.

Although the two pharmacists who blew up the furnace wanted to eat the first pharmacist alive, they did not have the time.

One by one, they hurriedly took out a cauldron and started refining again.

Oven explosion is actually the most common situation for pharmacists.

If any pharmacist has never been a pharmacist, he would be embarrassed to say that he is a pharmacist.

Therefore, for a wealthy sect like the Yaoshen Sect, the pharmacists under the sect basically always have several pill furnaces on hand, just in case of emergencies.

Jiang Yun paid no attention to everything around him, and his mind was completely immersed in the medicinal materials in front of him.

The number of medicinal materials required for this Heaven-Building Pill has reached twenty-one, which is not too much, but definitely not too little.

Fortunately, Jiang Yun was familiar with these twenty-one medicinal materials, so he instantly selected several medicinal materials with similar melting points and began to burn them with flames.

Although Jiang Yun was the last to start, he had the longest preparation time and the most solid foundation.

In addition, his spiritual consciousness and control of spiritual energy are extremely powerful, so the time to complete this first step is still much faster than others.

Half an hour later, Jiang Yun carefully burned all the medicinal materials into liquid medicine, and the medicinal properties of each were stimulated.

Next, it’s fusion!

And this process is the most likely to cause furnace explosion!

Just like in the third round, Jiang Yun came to the same conclusion based on the analysis of the medicine.

The properties of various medicinal materials will be mutually reinforcing and incompatible. Once fused, the mutual incompatibility is greater than the mutual incompatibility, and it will explode. Therefore, when merging, there must be order and propriety.

While Jiang Yun was fusing the medicinal liquid, dull sounds, like firecrackers, kept ringing in his ears.

Except for the three people who exploded the furnace earlier, the other six people, including Guan Yiming and Xiao Zheng, all appeared to explode the furnace!

Ten people, nine furnaces!

This naturally made the onlookers stunned, but it made Jiang Yun suddenly feel a trace of doubt in his heart.

Although blasting furnaces is extremely common, the nine people except myself all regularly refine third-grade elixirs and have extremely rich experience. Logically speaking, it should be impossible for all of them to blast the furnaces.

"Is there something weird about this fusion process?"

The emergence of this idea made Jiang Yun want to see the expression of the current Elder Han. If the prescription had been given by someone else, Jiang Yun might not have had this idea.

But this Elder Han may not be sure!

In this regard, it is not difficult to see that the other party's character is quite "casual" from the fact that the other party used the alchemy furnace as a kind of medicinal material to let himself judge the heat of the elixir.

In any case, with the explosion of the nine pharmacists in front of him, Jiang Yun did not dare to relax at all. He worked hard and mixed the medicinal liquid bit by bit.

Although Jiang Yun had minimized the possibility of frying the furnace with this approach, the time spent was naturally prolonged accordingly.

While the other nine people had completed the burning step of the second refining, Jiang Yun had not yet completed the fusion of the medicinal materials.

But the time for the competition is almost two hours.

Even Elder Han is secretly worried for Jiang Yun. Unless Jiang Yun can succeed once, otherwise, if he fails, the remaining time will not be enough for him to complete the second refining.

However, at this time, Jiang Yun, instead of being anxious, had a look of joy in his eyes.

"I understand, it's the Cangbang Beast Pill!"

P)

"There are male and female Cangman beasts, but the attributes of the two beast elixirs are exactly opposite."

"It's just that the female elixir is too rare, so according to the custom of pharmacists, whenever they see the Cangwu Beast elixir, they will think it is a male elixir, so the furnace will explode after fusion."

After figuring this out, Jiang Yun hurriedly changed the fusion process of this vast beast pill, and as expected, the furnace did not explode.

However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the flower stove suddenly began to shake violently.

Jiang Yun's expression suddenly condensed, and the flames controlled by his spiritual energy turned into snowflakes in an instant, freezing the entire scattering furnace, thus avoiding the fate of exploding the furnace.

But even so, the medicinal liquid in the furnace was completely in vain.

The first attempt failed!

Ten people made alchemy for the first time, and all failed!

"Although I thought that the Cangbang Beast Pill was female, I didn't expect that the medicinal properties of the female Cangbang Beast Pill are 10% less than the male pill!"

"Come again!"

Jiang Yun turned the snowflakes into flames again and continued the second round of refining.

But at this time, the time left for him was already less than an hour!
