I use the entry-level skills to create longevity

Chapter 227: Alchemy Harvest, Holy Land Mission

The firewood in the alchemy furnace was taken out, and the hot alchemy furnace began to cool down slowly.

However, black gas was still coming out from above the alchemy furnace. This was not the smell of firewood, but the smell inside the alchemy furnace.

"I failed to make the tendon strengthening pills for the first time!"

Yang Xuan looked at the black gas coming out of the alchemy furnace and was not surprised by this result.

During the process of refining the Strengthening Muscle Pills, the temperature control process was not done properly, which caused the materials in the alchemy furnace to become mushy. This is also the difference between refining pills and refining medicine liquids.

Because in water, the highest temperature of the fire will not exceed the boiling point of water, and in the process of refining pills, there is no such temperature limit. If the temperature of the fire is not well controlled, it will burn directly in the alchemy furnace.

This is the situation Yang Xuan is facing now.

The entire refining process ended not long after it began.

All the materials have been burned, so there is no need to continue with the next steps. Without the previous materials, it is basically impossible to successfully refine the product.

In a sense, it also saves Yang Xuan materials for alchemy.

"First, let's summarize the reasons for the failure of this refining, and then try to refine the tendon strengthening pills."

The failure of refining was within Yang Xuan's expectations. After all, he had never refined pills before.

The difficulty of refining body-quenching liquid and refining muscle-strengthening pills are not on the same level, so it is very normal to encounter these problems in the early stages.

Although he had previously received feedback on the memories of the Secret Medicine Materia Medica, the Spiritual Medicine Hundred Materia Medica, and the Spiritual Plant Pill Sutra, which allowed him to know more about the alchemy process, memory and hands-on ability are not the same.

Some people can do it with their brains but not with their hands, which is very normal.

Theoretical knowledge and practical operation are never the same thing.

Therefore, Yang Xuan prepared so many spiritual materials in order to carry out practical operations based on theoretical knowledge, so as to refine the muscle-strengthening pills.

In this process, theoretical knowledge is naturally useful, allowing Yang Xuan to avoid some common sense mistakes and some minor troubles.

It can also save Yang Xuan a lot of time.

"First of all, I didn't control the fire temperature well. The fire temperature of the alchemy furnace was too high. I should use water to control the temperature, and I shouldn't add so much firewood."

"Then I was a little anxious when placing the Black Feather Flower and Bright Moon Spirit Grass. I shouldn't have been so fast. I should have waited for the fire temperature to drop first. These two spiritual materials are not resistant to high temperatures. When the liquid medicine is extracted, if the fire temperature is too high, they will be burned directly. So I need to control the time and the fire temperature."

"Also, you need to be careful when using the alchemy furnace."

Yang Xuan summarized the problems that occurred in the process of refining the tendon-strengthening pills.

The use of an alchemy furnace to refine medicine is very different from that of an iron pot, and the degree of heat conduction is also very different.

Therefore, the previous process of using an iron pot to refine the quenching liquid was actually misleading, as it was easy to cause problems when controlling the temperature.

However, once this kind of problem occurs, Yang Xuan will remember it. At the same time, he has been thinking about how to solve these problems and control the changes in the fire temperature of the alchemy furnace under the blessing of firewood.

This is how it works to refine pills. Solve the problems you encounter little by little, and when all of them are almost solved, you are not far from refining the pill.

Yang Xuan wrote down all these questions.

When trying to refine the Strengthening Tendon Pills again, Yang Xuan had already tried to improve all the problems he encountered before continuing to refine the Strengthening Tendon Pills.

All the spiritual materials he exchanged from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were used for him to trial and error, so that he could become familiar with the process of refining the tendon-strengthening pills.

After five consecutive attempts at refining, Yang Xuan failed to complete the refining of the Strengthening Tendon Pills every time. He encountered problems halfway through, which ultimately led to the failure of refining the Strengthening Tendon Pills.

Previously, Pharmacist Xu showed them how to make the Strengthening Muscle Pills and explained to them some of the problems they encountered. Now, he encountered more problems than what Pharmacist Xu had said.

It is no wonder that Pharmacist Xu reminded us that ultimately alchemy depends on the individual, because everyone encounters different problems, and some problems are even problems that others have never encountered.

There are many variables in the alchemy process, and if these variables change slightly, they will eventually become new problems.

Of course, the final refining success is the same.

Yang Xuan gained a lot from the five failed attempts at refining, but he did not continue because it was already dark and he still needed to practice martial arts as usual, and then rest and finish today's affairs.

As for time control, Yang Xuan is already prepared. He has a plan for his schedule and will not change it.

After all, if you exceed the time today, it will affect the next day, and even affect your study, practice, etc. the next day.

Although under normal circumstances this impact is not significant, Yang Xuan still wants to prevent it from happening.

After all, time management is very important to him during this period of time.

After remembering the problems encountered in the alchemy process and the reasons that led to these problems, Yang Xuan began to adjust his own state.

When his energy was almost recovered, he began to visualize the Netherworld Fire Visualization Diagram. He would do this every day without stopping. After all, it was very important for him to get started in the practice of the Netherworld Fire Visualization Diagram.

After finishing the practice of the Netherworld Fire Visualization Diagram, Yang Xuan began to practice the Gangqi Gangrou Sword, spending the time of recovering his mind on the Gangqi Gangrou Sword.

The process of practicing Gangqi Gangrou Dao does not consume spiritual energy, but it consumes energy, and at the same time requires the understanding of the meaning of hardness and softness.

This was not very difficult for Yang Xuan. After all, the upper limit of the difficulty of cultivation was there, and the progress was also the fastest.

When Yang Xuan finished his training for the day, it was completely dark.

"Today, I spent a lot of time going to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect resources. Tomorrow, I will have more time to refine pills and continue to familiarize myself with the process of refining tendon-strengthening pills."

Before going to sleep, Yang Xuan thought about today's arrangements in his mind. When he felt there was no problem, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

People can choose to involute themselves, but they must do so within a reasonable degree, depending on their personal upper limit.

Yang Xuan was very clear about this and arranged it accordingly.

The Internal Affairs Department of the Purple Mansion Holy Land.

This is the largest internal affairs department in the Purple Mansion Holy Land. It is also the place that Yang Xuan and others had visited when they had just joined the Purple Mansion Holy Land. At that time, they, the new disciples, received their identity tokens and resources here.

This Internal Affairs Bureau was built on a single mountain peak. If it were not for the Internal Affairs Bureau, it could have become an inner gate mountain on its own.

At this time, many people gathered in a hall of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They were all high-ranking figures with real power in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

After hearing the Third Elder's arrangement, these people gathered at the Internal Affairs Department. The Third Elder was in charge of the real power of the Internal Affairs Department in the Purple Mansion Holy Land. Under normal circumstances, he would not be in charge of the affairs of the Internal Affairs Department, and everything was carried out as normal.

The Third Elder appeared at the Ministry of Internal Affairs and summoned the senior officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Naturally, he had an important task to arrange.

Therefore, all the high-ranking officials who hold real power in the Ministry of Internal Affairs appeared in the hall.

"The evil thieves have been a bit arrogant recently. The Supreme Elder has found their whereabouts, so more tasks about hunting them down will be issued next."

"We will also give some tasks to the new disciples to help them grow quickly."

The third elder with white hair and a youthful face was in the main hall of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When he saw that everyone was present, he slowly spoke.

His issuing of these tasks was also related to the previous incident with Lord Hateful Demon and also to the Supreme Elder, so he needed to pay attention to it.

Previously, the sect's supreme elder wanted to find the residence of the Hateful Demon Lord and completely kill this demon to avenge his previous hatred.

It's just that the Demon Lord Hate the Sky was a bit cunning, and ultimately no trace of the Demon Lord Hate the Sky could be found. Instead, we found a temporary magic palace of the other party, and the one who was killed was also a clone of the Demon Lord Hate the Sky.

Although he failed in the end, the supreme elder did find traces of some evil villains, many of whom were in Nanyu Prefecture in the southern continent, which was within the sphere of influence of the Purple Mansion Holy Land.

That is why these missions to hunt down the evildoers are specially issued, which also shows their attitude towards the evildoers.

If you can't find the Demon Lord Hateful, then kill the other evil villains and let them know who is the ruler of Nanyu Province in the southern continent.

It also provides a chance for those disciples whose close relatives died at the hands of the Hateful Demon Lord to seek revenge, and at the same time, it allows the disciples in the Purple Mansion Holy Land to grow rapidly.

After all, those who choose to practice martial arts naturally have to focus on improving their combat power and need to engage in actual combat. These evil villains are naturally very good targets.

"It hasn't even been a year since the new disciples started, and most of them haven't even started practicing their main cultivation techniques yet. Isn't it too hasty to make arrangements now?"

An elder said with a frown.

It's not that he felt there was anything wrong with hunting down these evil villains, but he was a little anxious to directly arrange new disciples to hunt down the evil villains.

After all, new disciples basically don't have many abilities, their strength improvement is limited, and the combat power they can exert is not strong. If they are directly assigned such tasks, they may die in the mission.

"We are not forcing them to take on tasks, but letting them choose for themselves. Previously, Qinglu Tiandao Peak and Yinsan Huanjian Peak said that the external affairs tasks assigned to new disciples were too simple. Now we have announced them, and those who want to take on the tasks can go."

“In order to prevent Qinglu Tiandao Peak and Yinsan Huanjian Peak from saying that we don’t give their new disciples a chance to earn sect contribution points.”

The third elder heard this and explained.

Some warlike inner sect peaks arrange external affairs missions from the beginning, use the missions to practice, improve their cultivation, earn sect contribution points, and rise quickly.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Zifu Holy Land.

Most of the tasks at the Ministry of Internal Affairs are arranged by these senior officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They also formulate certain rules and act within the rules.

The Qinglu Tiandao Peak and Yinsan Huanjian Peak had some suggestions, and the task of hunting down the evil villains appeared here, so it was naturally arranged.

The mission has been given, and whether to accept it depends on Qinglu Tiandao Peak and Yinsan Huanjian Peak.

By then, Qinglu Tiandao Peak and Yinsan Huanjian Peak will no longer propose not to arrange tasks.

"Then I have no objection."

The elder who had just spoken heard this and replied.

It doesn't have to be a mandatory arrangement.

As for how the disciples in the Purple Mansion Holy Land choose, it naturally depends on the individual.

If one does not recognize his own strength and takes an extremely dangerous mission, no one can say anything if he dies in the end, after all, it is a personal choice.

The most that the Zifu Holy Land can do is arrange for new disciples to take on the task and avenge him.

"The tasks still need to be divided. We cannot give new disciples tasks that are too dangerous. After all, they have only been in school for a short time, and their combat power has not improved much."

At this time, another fat elder spoke up and expressed his thoughts.

Many elders are quite protective of the new inner disciples. After all, the new disciples are still in the growth stage, and those with outstanding talents have not grown up yet.

If this talented person is given time, he will grow up and become a mainstay of the Purple Mansion Holy Land in the future. There is naturally no need for him to die now in these dangerous missions of hunting down the evil villains.

At the same time, the elder also knew that some inner disciples had been doing well before, and perhaps they did not take those evil villains seriously, so they could easily become arrogant and might die in the task of hunting down the evil villains.

Previously, the external affairs missions that the new members of Qinglu Tiandao Peak and Yinsan Huanjian Peak had taken on were not very dangerous. Although there were casualties, the casualty rate was not that high.

Most of the people who died were those who were rather conceited and unprepared. Their main purpose was to warn other newcomers not to be too arrogant.

"Of course, but the specific arrangements still need your help. Confirm the strength of the evil thieves you want to hunt down before issuing the relevant tasks."

"I don't want the mission to be completed, but the Holy Land will suffer greater losses."

The third elder heard this and continued.

Speaking of the latter part, it seems like a joke, but it is actually very serious.

Previously, the Demon Lord Hateful had caused the Purple Mansion Holy Land to suffer a great loss. Now these missions are issued to strike against those evil sects rather than to continue to cause the Purple Mansion Holy Land to suffer losses.

Therefore, this kind of task requires more intelligence and knowing the situation of those evil villains before issuing relevant tasks.

Inside the main hall of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, other elders also started to discuss the specific matters concerning the issuance of tasks.

In fact, everyone who has real power in the hall has relevant responsibilities, so at this time, relevant tasks are assigned, and finally after integrating the information, relevant tasks are released.

Especially when it comes to missions like this one of hunting down evil villains, especially the mission of hunting down the evil villains on the side of Demon Lord Hatetian who was causing trouble in the Purple Mansion Holy Land, these people take it even more seriously.

Each one was discussed down to the details.

The task assignments are very detailed, and you can also see the attitudes of these people.

Many people were very angry about what Lord Hate the Sky had done before, but there was no way to retaliate because Lord Hate the Sky was stronger than everyone else. Even the Third Elder, the person with the greatest power in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was weaker than Lord Hate the Sky in martial arts.

Therefore, the Purple Mansion Holy Land arranged for the Supreme Elder to take action instead of the Third Elder. It was also because the matter of hunting down those evil villains was handled by the Third Elder, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was also asked to arrange it.
