The First Saint of Alchemy

"We are all brothers, so I will speak directly if I have anything to say. Regardless of the grade of these pills, the order of merit is Qin Yue'er first, Ge Jiao second, You BuTong third, and Wu Xian fourth ”

Hearing Tang Yan's comments, several people couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Wu Xian's face turned red and he said unconvinced: "I can only rank fourth?"

"Yes, it can only be fourth." Tang Yan nodded seriously:

"Judging from the quality, the elixir refined by Qin Yue'er is delicate, round and smooth, the elixir fragrance overflows relatively slowly, and the spiritual energy is preserved for a longer period of time.

Ge Jiao's elixir is more delicate, but not round enough.

Although You BuTong is only a first-level alchemist, he has achieved good results.

As for Wu Xian, your elixir is round and smooth, but not delicate enough.

If it is not delicate enough, it means that the surface layer has many pores, and the elixir will be stored for a short time. "

After hearing Tang Yan's evaluation, Wu Xian, who was still dissatisfied at first, had to admit that Tang Yan was right.

"There is a failure rate in alchemy. If Wu Xian can successfully refine it, it's pretty good." Qin Yue'er came to Wu Xian's rescue.

Tang Yan looked at Qin Yue'er with a smile in his eyes: "Not only Wu Xian, but also the pills you refined are not satisfactory to me."

"Huh?" Several people looked at Tang Yan with a somewhat unkind look.

Tang Yan picked up the elixir refined by Qin Yue'er, put it on the tip of his nose, sniffed it gently, and said calmly: "The most extracted medicinal material from the elixir refined by Qin Yue'er is Baise Flower, which has been extracted seven times. For other medicinal materials, it ranges from two to five times.

There was a breath lag when the medicine started to blend. Therefore, your elixir can only be considered to be of average quality among similar elixirs. "

Following Tang Yan's analysis, Qin Yue'er's eyes were widened.

"You...how did you know?" Qin Yue'er asked in surprise.

"You can see it." Tang Yan smiled slightly and continued to comment: "The most extracted elixir from Ge Jiao is Baise flower, five times. Although this elixir is extracted less often, other medicinal materials are extracted more often, so None of the elixirs failed, but the main ingredients contained many impurities and were of average quality.”

"..." After Tang Yan evaluated the pros and cons of the four people's alchemy steps one by one, the unconvinced mentality of several people gradually became extremely shocked.

What kind of monster is this guy? He can even accurately tell the number of times the medicinal materials have been extracted?

Tang Yan walked to Wu Xian, patted the alchemy cauldron, and cleaned up the slag: "Borrow the alchemy cauldron for use."

A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the last four people. Tang Yan is also an alchemist?

"A good alchemy furnace can indeed improve the efficacy of the elixir. But those alchemists with the highest level of cultivation can make elixirs below the fifth grade without the need for an alchemy cauldron.

The quality of an elixir depends largely on the method of refining it.

Take this purifying elixir as an example. To maximize its efficacy, the main drug Baisehua must be refined at least eleven times, while the five-grain flower must be refined nine times, and the green pheasant must be refined six times to neutralize the poison. It needs to be tempered six times..."

As Tang Yan explained, he threw all these elixirs into the alchemy cauldron.

Baise flower, grain flower, green pheasant, flat poison, Nalan, autumn red leaves...

As Tang Yan continued to throw medicinal materials into the alchemy cauldron, the eyes of several people widened again. This guy threw in all the medicinal ingredients at once? Aren’t you afraid of the seventeen medicinal herbs getting burnt?

"If you refine several medicinal materials at the same time, you need to use several mental powers to detect the refining status of the medicinal materials. Once the medicinal materials are refined, you need to quickly place the tempered elixirs in the dark compartment. If the timing is not correct, the medicinal materials will As it is dried by the elixir fire, the effect of the elixir will be affected due to uneven proportions."

In a little more than a quarter of an hour, Tang Yan had refined all the medicinal materials and started melting the pills.

“The process of melting the elixir must also be done step by step, but it is not impossible to do it simultaneously.

For example, the main ingredient Baisehua can be poured together with Nalan and Pingdu at the same time. Halfway through, add Qiuhongling leaves. In this way, several medicinal materials are poured in layers, which can make the elixir more integrated..."

Time passed by minute by minute, and an hour gradually passed by. However, Qin Yue'er and the others did not feel bored. Instead, they were fascinated by Tang Yan's gradually in-depth explanation, as if the door to a new world had been opened.

It turns out that more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials can be refined and extracted at the same time? There are so many tips for extraction? Is there such a thing to pay attention to when fusing elixirs?

After fusion, can the elixir be fused more evenly using the method of qi vibration?

It turns out that the last step of forming the elixir is not started at the end, but when the elixir is melted, the process of shaping the elixir can be prepared?

They thought that Tang Yan was just a new student, so they were more or less dissatisfied and planned to pick on Tang Yan while he was refining his elixir.

But now after hearing Tang Yan's explanation, they were left with a kind of admiration.

"Bang!" Tang Yan shouted softly, slapped the alchemy cauldron, and four pills flew out of the alchemy cauldron.

Quickly taking out the porcelain bottle to catch the elixirs, Tang Yan put the four elixirs into the hands of four people respectively.

"Take a look at this elixir. Is it of better quality?" Tang Yan looked at the four of them with a smile.

Although they have long been convinced by Tang Yan, every alchemist is very proud in their hearts. They carefully explore Tang Yan's elixirs, hoping to find some loopholes.

The elixir body is green, with a gleaming luster, as if it were covered with a film. It's round and delicate, and feels quite textured when held in the hand. The fragrance of elixir is condensed but not strong, but refreshing, giving people a feeling that it contains a lot of spiritual energy.

No matter in terms of appearance or quality, the four of them were deeply impressed!

Perfect, impeccable.

"Tang Yan, I, Wu Xian, admire you!" Wu Xian looked at Tang Yan seriously and said sincerely: "Just now you pointed out the shortcomings of my elixir. To be honest, I really feel uncomfortable. Now I accept your correction."

"I admire you too!" Ge Jiao looked at Tang Yan with admiration, her cheeks slightly flushed. This freshman is also very handsome if you look closely.

"I admire you too. I hope Brother Yan can give me more guidance in the future." You Bu Tong bowed modestly.

"I remember a few people said before that they only admire me in this life. It's only been an hour, and they have changed their minds?" Qin Yue'er on the side complained faintly, causing several people to laugh.

After playing for a while, Qin Yue'er's attitude became serious: "Brother Yan, I admire you too. What should we do next? Just tell us directly."

Ge Jiao and others also looked at Tang Yan, waiting for Tang Yan's instructions.

Tang Yan pondered for a moment and asked: "When you refine elixirs, the quality of different batches is often different, right?"

Several people nodded.

"Why is that?" Ge Jiao was a little confused. This question has troubled her for a long time.

"Because you are not proficient in quenching, extracting, melting pills, etc. The foundation is not solid, the level of each link is unstable, and the quality of the pills refined is also different." Tang Yan answered.

"I'm afraid I can't refine to the level of Brother Yan." Ge Jiao said with a bitter face.

Tang Yan didn't respond, but smiled and said: "Let me tell you a story."
