Chapter 471: The Body of Chaos
Third update, red ticket, collect!
What is meant by refining the elixir, Xiao Chen had already refined it earlier, and next comes the formation of the elixir. The formation of the elixir is extremely important and also very difficult. In this process, the control of the fire must be done to an extremely precise degree. If the control of the fire is not good, it may cause the medicinal properties of the refined elixir to be greatly reduced, or even become a waste elixir.
He didn't start right away. Xiao Chen first took a deep breath and waited until his mind was completely calm before he began to move.
The Triple True Fire erupted again, and Xiao Chen clapped his hands together. In an instant, the azure flames ignited within the Dan furnace, after which Xiao Chen suppressed the Triple True Fire once more.
"Astragalus membranaceus extract."
Xiao Chen thought to himself, pouring the essence of Huang Qi Cao into the Dan furnace, the divine soul's power immediately surged up, wrapping the medicine powder around it.
Triple True Fire surges and churns, refining the medicinal powder. Gradually, under the burning of Triple True Fire, the light yellow powder begins to transform into a thick **, just like white sugar dissolving in a hot pot.
At this moment, Ye Liu Xing immediately said: "Enter the essence of Chi Wei Cao."
Xiao Chen heard the words and immediately put the essence of Chi Wei Cao into the Dan furnace, the power of the divine soul wrapped around it again, wrapping up that drop of essence in the azure flames to refine, emitting a wisp of white smoke, which was the impurities in the essence not yet refined clean, at this moment refining again.
When the essence of Chiwei was refined to a red gemstone, without any impurities, Ye Liu Xing spoke again: "Enter Gan Zhu Jinghua."
Xiao Chen exerted great effort to control the two flavors of medicine inside the dan furnace, while also controlling the flames, truly giving off a sense of being busy and flustered. At this moment, he once again poured the essence of Gan Zhu into the dan furnace.
In an instant, the three flavors of medicine inside the dan furnace were all ignited by the triple yuan fire, but the temperature was suppressed by Xiao Chen to a very low level, and did not burn these three flavors of medicine into ashes.
The powder of Gan Zhu is also refined by the triple fire and becomes a kind of thick **, slightly yellowish, like syrup.
Now, Xiao Chen was about to merge these three medicines together.
This was a difficult task, as Xiao Chen controlled the power of his divine soul to slowly move the three medicinal essences, causing them to collide slowly.
Hmph!
A scorching sound, Xiao Chen suddenly lost control of the flame's temperature, when the essence of Astragalus and the essence of Imperata cylindrica merged, the junction suddenly became scorched.
"The heat resistance of each medicine is different, the flame of Dan furnace is divided into thousands of lines because each medicine requires a different temperature, so you must learn to control the fire, some places need a higher temperature, you have to relax and suppress the temperature of the flame, some places need a lower temperature, you have to suppress the temperature of the flame."
"Fusion is the most exhausting of spiritual power, and also the most experience of grasping the fire timing. Don't rush, come slowly."
A shooting star appears at this moment to guide us with its words.
At this moment, Xiao Chen's forehead was already covered in sweat, his soul divided into three parts to control the fusion of the three medicinal materials. As one can imagine, the difficulty of this process is even more perilous. When the medicinal materials are fusing together, the fire temperature required will also deviate, and his soul must adjust the temperature.
But Xiao Chen was not a hesitant person. At this moment, Xiao Chen was calm and introspective, his eyes were closed, and his mind had never been so peaceful.
Then it is relying on the divine soul's perceptual power to observe the situation inside the alchemy furnace, thoroughly analyzing the temperature required for every inch of space.
A moment later, Xiao Chen opened his eyes again. This time, however, Xiao Chen's eyes were as bright and piercing as the stars in the sky, able to see through even the smallest details.
"Fusion!"
Xiao Chen opened his eyes, and the aura on his body became much more stable. After sensing the situation inside the cauldron, Xiao Chen's divine soul suddenly surged, and in an instant, the three medicinal materials inside the cauldron collided with each other under the driving force of Xiao Chen's divine soul.
It's not just a matter of compatibility between one medicine and another, but rather the simultaneous fusion of three medicines. At the same time, Xiao Chen's spiritual consciousness suddenly concentrated, controlling the flames inside the alchemy furnace, causing the three medicines to merge in an instant, and the flames inside the furnace suddenly spun around, forming a jet-like flame, strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
This makes the flame temperature near Sanwei medicine very weak, while the outside is strong, making the Dan furnace very hot, and then this heat flow circulates inside the Dan furnace, with a very even heat.
At this moment, the three medicinal materials merged into one, instantly becoming a white with a hint of yellow **, under the guidance of the circulating heat in the alchemical furnace, rapidly rotating inside the alchemical furnace.
Ye Liu Xing saw this scene, and his beautiful eyebrows rose, with a burst of bright light in his eyes. "Good kid, you can actually understand that using hot flow to collide and refine the elixir is better than using flames to dry it. This move may be a bit unorthodox, but compared to using flames to dry, it's more likely to make the medicinal properties of different herbs compatible."
"It took me three years to come up with this method, but this guy figured it out in less than a day. Could he be the reincarnation of a heavenly god? He's incredibly clever!"
Ye Liu Xing was surprised that Xiao Chen had used this move, but he didn't immediately come to praise him. To use this move, one must next use the True Yuan Fire to assist the medicinal materials in fusing together at that instant. If the heat wasn't enough, it would cause them to be unable to condense.
Tonight's shooting star is next to see if Xiao Chen can drink with one breath, using the Lei Hu Zhen Yuan in his Dantian to fill up the instant heat that is not enough.
But just as Ye Liu Xing had thought of this, Xiao Chen's shout had already rung out, "Lei Huo Zhen Yuan, Explode!"
As the cheers rose, Xiao Chen pointed at the crucible, and in an instant, the Lei Huo True Origin from his dantian burst out, shooting into the crucible through his fingertips.
Then he quickly circled around the unformed elixir inside the dan furnace and retreated back into Xiao Chen's body.
"Success!"
Finally, Xiao Chen shouted again, and the Triple True Fire inside the alchemy furnace suddenly surged up, the temperature rapidly rose and then abruptly dropped. After three rises and falls, Xiao Chen slapped the top of the alchemy furnace lid, and the elixir flew out from inside the furnace.
Xiao Chen took out the jade bottle and poured it into the jade bottle, collected the three yuan true fire, then turned around and handed the elixir to Ye Liu Xing's face, saying: "Sister, please take a look."
Ye Liu Xing couldn't help but secretly admire Xiao Chen's explosive alchemy at this moment, thinking that he didn't look like a novice alchemist at all, but rather like an old hand who often practiced alchemy.
"Well, the performance is quite good. Let's not discuss the grade of the elixir you refined for now. Just the fact that you thought of using hot flow impact and True Origin Fire to warm it up deserves a lot of encouragement." This time, Ye Liu Xing didn't pour cold water on Xiao Chen, but instead praised him lavishly.
Then, Ye Liu Xing took the jade bottle from Xiao Chen's hand, poured out the Dan medicine, and sniffed it at the tip of his nose. He said, "The fire is still not quite right, if you put this Dan medicine in the secular world, it can't be sold at all, and it may even be beaten by people."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen's face turned dark, but then Ye Liu Xing said: "However... the elixir you have contains the power of thunder and fire. If you can bring out its full potential, your elixirs will be far superior to those made by others."
"Why?" Xiao Chen asked in puzzlement.
"Your Lei Huo Zhen Yuan contains the power of pure Yang, and the power of pure Yang is best at healing wounds and grooming true energy. Therefore, the nourishing Qi pill you refined is much more effective than others."
"It's not just the nourishing pill, with the help of Lei Huo Zhen Yuan, you can refine any medicinal pill, as long as it's not a poisonous one, and it will have a very strong auxiliary effect. This is something that should be developed."
When he heard this, Xiao Chen was shocked. Ye Liu Xing's simple words made him realize that he had an advantage over others in alchemy.
Xiao Chen never thought that after accepting Ye Liu Xing's words, absorbing Lei Huo Zhen Yuan into his dantian and merging with it would have such a wonderful effect. This was simply the strongest auxiliary aid.
It is known that there are many alchemists who can refine the Nourishing Qi Pill, and the competition is naturally fierce. However, Xiao Chen's use of the Thunderfire True Origin has allowed the Nourishing Qi Pill to contain a hint of pure Yang energy, which naturally allows him to occupy more market share in the competition.
"You've grasped some of the tricks, but your control over the timing is still off. Keep trying," said Ye Liu Xing.
"Good." Xiao Chen became very excited, his own refined elixir was better than others, which naturally made him delighted and eager to refine a marketable elixir.
He also hoped that the refined elixir could be sold for money, but in order to purchase the Fa Xian and secret silver heavy water to repair the Eight Sides Heaven Boundary, Xiao Chen was very diligent.
While Ye Liu Xing quietly watched Xiao Chen refine the elixir, occasionally speaking to guide him and reminding him to pay attention to the fire timing.
Thus, until the sky brightened and a fish-belly white emerged in the eastern sky, Xiao Chen finally thoroughly grasped the firing time of the Nourishing Qi Pill. In one night's time, Xiao Chen had already become an entry-level alchemist.
If we say that Xiao Chen's achievements are just this much, it is not enough to prove that Xiao Chen has a strong and enviable wisdom. Xiao Chen not only successfully refined the Nourishing Qi Pill but also managed to refine the Huang Xuan Dan, a first-rate pill that serves as a universal currency among warriors and a fundamental pill that warriors must have.
Such a talent, even the Night Flowing Star was surprised, and it was confirmed that Xiao Chen was indeed a genius in alchemy, the strong intuition bestowed upon Xiao Chen by heaven was simply too abnormal.
"Refine for one night, you're too exhausted. Now is the moment when the red sun is about to rise, and the purple energy of the sun is at its thickest. You should now use the purple energy of the sun to temper your soul." Ye Liu Xing said after Xiao Chen successfully refined his first Yellow Profound Dan.
"Right, I've now upgraded to the Ling Jue Mirror, my soul has awakened and my spiritual soul is even stronger. Now I can use the solar purple energy to temper my spiritual soul." Xiao Chen was reminded by Ye Liu Xing and immediately remembered.
He opened the stone gate, flew to the top of the building, sat upright on the rooftop facing east, and began to operate the '99 Refining Soul Technique', starting to absorb the purple energy of the sun to refine his divine soul.
