The Rise of the Cultivation Family

Chapter 193 Refining Gathering Spirit Pill

After Yun Yongzhu purchased the elixir materials, he returned to Luoyun Palace and entered the alchemy room.

He took out all the 230 three elixir materials for refining the Spirit Gathering Pill and placed them on the alchemy stone platform.

Then he took out his tools and began to process these elixirs one by one.

First, the main drug Julingcao, then the auxiliary drugs Lingli thistle, Jilingcao, Tongue Ganoderma, Polygonatum...

This was Yun Yongzhu's tenth time refining the Spirit Gathering Pill. Although he had failed seven times before, everything he did after starting the furnace was done smoothly and in an orderly manner.

However, because there were too many ingredients for the Spirit Gathering Pill, nearly half an hour had passed by the time he had prepared all the elixirs.

Yun Yongzhu placed all the processed elixirs neatly in the order they were put into the alchemy furnace.

Then he placed the palm of his hand on his abdomen, turned his hand, and took out the purple gold furnace that he had just practiced recently from his dantian.

This alchemy furnace was used by Huang Changsheng during the foundation building period. Its grade is not low, reaching the second level of top grade.

Although the Purple Gold Furnace does not have the bonus effect of the medicine cauldron on the rate of elixir formation, the Purple Gold Furnace is embedded with a second-order Fire Sun Array, which can save nearly half of the alchemist's spiritual power and shorten the refining time by one-third.

The last time Yun Yongzhu refined the Spirit Gathering Pill in Xianyuan City, he used his own medicine cauldron, the Nine Dragon Cauldron.

Because the Nine Dragon Cauldron is only a first-level high-grade magic weapon, it cannot be stored in the dantian. Moreover, although the Nine Dragon Cauldron can be used to refine second-level elixirs, the rate of making elixirs is not high.

Yun Yongzhu levitated the Purple Gold Furnace with his spiritual consciousness, and it instantly transformed from a palm-sized mini cauldron into a small alchemy furnace with an inner diameter of six inches and a height of eight inches.

Yun Yongzhu placed the alchemy furnace at the outlet of the ground fire. According to the habit he had developed in alchemy, he poured a few small water balls into it and cleaned it carefully.

Then he poured his true fire into the purple gold furnace and started the first step of refining the elixir, preheating the alchemy furnace.

After the purple gold furnace was warmed up, Yun Yongzhu followed the recipe of the Spirit Gathering Pill and began to pour in the first part of the prepared elixir.

Then he concentrated on using his true fire to smelt the elixir materials into elixir juice.

What was different from the previous alchemy refining was that Yun Yongzhu did not inject spiritual rain or spiritual spring water into the alchemy furnace before putting in the elixir materials.

This is because Yun Yongzhu is now using his own real fire elixir.

There are many reasons why the alchemist pours clean water or spiritual water into the alchemy furnace before refining the elixir.

First, it is to prevent low-level elixir materials from being instantly vaporized or scorched by the high temperature in the alchemy furnace.

The second is to use this water as a smelting medium to extract all the medicinal properties from the elixir.

The third purpose is to facilitate the alchemist to refine the elixir liquid, remove as much impurities as possible, and retain the essence as much as possible.

The fourth step is to better integrate the medicinal properties of the medicinal liquid, condense it into a pill, and increase the rate of pill formation.

I came here because...

But when you use real fire to make elixirs, you don't have to think so much.

Using real fire to warm the furnace will not make the temperature in the alchemy furnace too high.

Moreover, during the smelting process, Yun Yongzhu could adjust the size of the real fire at any time according to the heat resistance of the elixir, and finely control the temperature in the alchemy furnace.

However, because the melting point of each elixir is different, Yun Yongzhu can only use his own consciousness to separate the elixirs.

He controlled the elixir to float above the real fire in the alchemy furnace, and then used his mind to control his real fire to calcine and smelt each elixir material.

After a while, the elixir began to slowly melt under the burning of real fire.

Then Yun Yongzhu put the next materials on the stone table next to him into the alchemy furnace one by one.By the time the second batch of elixirs was released, the elixirs released earlier had been melted into liquid medicine by the calcining of real fire.

At this time, Yun Yongzhu will remove the spiritual barrier between the elixirs and mix the elixirs.

Yun Yongzhu placed the real fire between the two batches of elixirs, and saw dozens of red or green elixirs burning above a light green spiritual flame in the purple gold furnace, while the bottom of the furnace had turned into elixirs. Liquid purple-black elixir juice.

This step actually tests the alchemist's control over the heat. Of course, it is also a test of the alchemist's soul strength.

The temperature of the inner wall of the alchemy furnace must be close to the temperature of the real fire, otherwise the first batch of smelted liquid medicine will become waste water, and there may even be a risk of the furnace exploding.

This is also one of the reasons why the alchemy furnace must be preheated before refining all elixirs. Moreover, when smelting elixirs and tempering liquid medicine, you must always pay attention to maintaining the temperature of the alchemy furnace walls.

Under the calcination of real fire, the second batch of elixir slowly melted into liquid and dripped into the liquid at the bottom of the Zijin Furnace.

In this way, Yun Yongzhu put the elixir materials into the alchemy furnace batch by batch, and then calcined them with real fire to melt them into liquid medicine.

It wasn't until an hour and a half later that he finished smelting all the elixir ingredients and turned them into liquid medicine.

Although the process of calcining the elixir is very simple, it is actually the most difficult step in refining the elixir.

You must know that every elixir has its own effects and medicinal properties.

Although some elixirs have similar effects, their medicinal properties are completely different.

Although some elixirs have similar properties, their effects are completely different.

The first one or two batches of elixirs were okay. They were all elixirs with similar efficacy and properties. It didn't require much attention when the two melted medicinal liquids merged.

But the further you get to the back, the greater the difference in properties of the elixir becomes, so you have to be more careful when mixing the smelted medicinal liquid with the previous medicinal liquid.

Even if you have the elixir recipe, it does not mean that you can easily combine all the elixirs.

Moreover, the order of elixirs is also crucial, as it will almost reduce the success rate of elixir refining.

In the process of smelting elixir materials, Yun Yongzhu made good use of several elixirs in the elixir to blend the medicinal properties, and successfully smelted all 230 three elixir materials into liquid medicine.

More than 200 elixir materials were smelted, but this small purple gold furnace was not filled, and it was impossible to fill it.

Although there are two steps in the process of refining the elixir: smelting the elixir and tempering the elixir, in fact, half of the impurities have been quenched out during the smelting of the elixir.

In an elixir, the essence is often only one percent or even one thousandth of the entire plant.

After quenching the impurities in the medicinal solution, the less remaining medicinal solution, which proves that the higher the degree of quenching, the better the quality of the elixir.

Therefore, even if there are tens of thousands of elixir ingredients, it is impossible to completely fill the alchemy furnace with the smelted liquid.

After all the elixir was smelted, Yun Yongzhu used the unique "Nine-turn Tempering Technique" in the "Nine-turn Alchemy Technique" to temper all the medicine liquid again.

When [-]% of his spiritual power was used up, he could no longer find the impurities in the medicine.

Yun Yongzhu then increased the firepower to dry out the excess water in the liquid medicine, and pinched a "Nine Transformations of Melting Pill Jue" into the purple gold furnace.

Under the action of the Melting Pill Jue, the medicinal liquid in the furnace became more and more viscous, and the aroma of the medicine spread out through the pores on the furnace cover.

When the medicinal liquid was about to materialize, Yun Yongzhu adjusted the flame to the minimum and played the "Nine Transformations of Pill Condensation Technique" at the right time.

However, the elixir had just taken shape when a "Nine Revolutions Broken Pill Jue" was entered into the purple gold furnace, turning the newly formed elixir into medicinal powder again.

At this time, Yun Yongzhu more carefully re-smelted the medicinal powder in the purple gold furnace into liquid medicine, and then slowly re-cast the Melting Pill Technique.
