Chapter 48: Teach everything you know!
Medicine Valley, Alchemy Pavilion.
Ye Ling studied alchemy under the alchemy master Elder Cui. After several observations, Ye Ling began to try to refine the first-class rejuvenating elixir.
The leader of the sect, Zhao Yuanzhen, knew that it was not easy to learn alchemy for the first time, so he ordered the medicine boy in the alchemy pavilion to go to the sect's medicine warehouse to fetch a mountain of first- and second-level spiritual herbs of various qualities for Ye Ling to learn alchemy. At the same time, he also Let the alchemy pavilion allocate ten medium-grade bronze furnaces to Ye Ling. Even if the alchemy furnace explodes and the alchemy furnace is destroyed, it doesn't matter.
Under the guidance of Elder Cui, Ye Ling added fire spirit stones into the bronze furnace.
With Sect Master Zhao supervising beside him, Elder Cui looked conscientious and introduced eloquently: "The weight and quality of the fire spirit stones added to the furnace must match the alchemy furnace. The more top-quality alchemy furnace, The higher the requirements for the fire spirit stone, the better the quality of the refined elixir will be and the higher the elixir yield rate will be."
"Next, to control the furnace fire, you need to consume a certain amount of mana to calm the fire spirit in the alchemy furnace and make the furnace fire stable. At this time, you should study the jade slips of the fire control technique carefully first, and do not rush to use medicine to refine the elixir."
Ye Ling took it, scanned it with his consciousness, and started studying it carefully.
At this time, Sect Master Zhao greatly appreciated Elder Cui's patience and meticulousness, and ordered Elder Cui to continue teaching, and he returned to the Yaogu Sect's main hall.
As soon as Sect Master Zhao left, Elder Cui, the alchemy master, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and began to squint his eyes to rest, ignoring Ye Ling.
After Ye Ling studied the fire control technique, he tried to control the furnace fire. After several trials, he gradually became proficient.
"Elder Cui, can we use the first-grade Hui Shen Cao, the main medicinal ingredient, next?"
Elder Cui threw him a few jade slips and said lazily: "These jade slips are an introduction to alchemy. You can study it yourself and don't disturb my retreat."
Ye Ling was slightly startled, then looked at Elder Cui's nonchalant look, and suddenly realized that as soon as the sect master left, the old guy seemed to be a new person, and he was too lazy to teach him the art of alchemy.
Ye Ling cursed secretly, but had no choice but to study the jade slips of alchemy one by one. He simply stopped asking Elder Cui for advice and started to pour medicine into the bronze furnace by himself.
Everything went very smoothly at first. When it came time to condense the elixir, Ye Ling put in the auxiliary ingredient honeysuckle to allow the elixir to take shape.
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound and the bronze furnace exploded!
Ye Ling looked at the pieces of the bronze furnace spinning on the ground and was stunned for a long time.
Looking back at Elder Cui, who had his eyes closed to rest, he saw that the old guy had no reaction at all. He seemed not surprised at all when Ye Ling's first alchemy exploded.
Ye Ling was not discouraged. With a wave of his sleeves, the strong wind swept away the fragments of the alchemy furnace and replaced it with a new medium-grade bronze furnace. Now he finally understood the sect master's intention. Why did he prepare ten bronze furnaces for him? It turns out that when you are new to alchemy, it is common for your pills to explode!
The second furnace, when the elixir is condensing, explode! In the third furnace, after the Ningdan Dingdan was formed, it exploded before the furnace could be opened!
Ye Ling didn't take it seriously at all. He definitely didn't feel distressed, let alone frown. Instead, he was very pleased with his gradual proficiency in alchemy techniques.
When Ye Ling placed the fourth bronze furnace, Elder Cui finally couldn't sit still and stopped him and said: "Slow down! If you continue to refine like this, all ten bronze furnaces will be lost, and you may not be able to refine a single pill. ! The first-grade spiritual grass you consumed is not worth much, not to mention that it was taken from the sect’s medicine warehouse and has nothing to do with me. But the middle-grade bronze furnace in my Alchemy Pavilion is much more valuable! It’s worth two hundred spirit stones. If you lose three of them so quickly, that’s six hundred spirit stones!”
Elder Cui looked distressed, obviously very distressed.
Ye Ling was secretly amused and said calmly: "In that case, please give Elder Cui more advice. Wouldn't it be great if the disciple could learn to master the alchemy technique thoroughly, refine the elixir, and at the same time reduce the loss of the bronze furnace?"
Elder Cui rolled his eyes angrily and snorted coldly: "Look at how you are refining alchemy for the first time. You don't understand the method of alchemy at all! Do you think everyone can learn alchemy? Without any talent for alchemy, you can only rely on It takes countless attempts to achieve success in alchemy cultivation. Hey, if you are not from a great cultivating family and do not have huge resources to support you, what will happen if you learn to refine alchemy? See, you only need to know a little bit about alchemy. You can just deal with the sect master. There is no need to waste spiritual herbs and alchemy furnaces."
Ye Ling frowned secretly. It turned out that this old guy was worried about the spiritual grass and the alchemy furnace. He expected that he would not have the financial resources to refine alchemy and would not achieve great success in the alchemy path in the future, so he lazily taught it.
But Ye Ling then thought again. Apart from consulting this stingy alchemy master, he really couldn't find a suitable candidate. He simply gave in to him and took out ten middle-grade spiritual stones from the storage bag. Pass it to Elder Cui.
"Recently, this junior has been practicing in natural caves and taking charge of ice caves. He has obtained a lot of spiritual stones and spiritual herbs, so he returned to Medicine Valley to learn alchemy. These spiritual stones are to compensate for the loss of the alchemy furnace. If Elder Cui is willing to do his best, I’ll teach you how to make alchemy and make the elixir, and I’ll give you ten middle-grade spiritual stones!”
This trick really works!
Elder Cui's eyes brightened when he saw that he had thousands of spirit stones in his hand, as if he had become dozens of years younger in an instant! He quickly accepted it with a smile and nodded repeatedly: "Haha, it's easy to talk! It turns out that my nephew has gained a lot in the ice cave! Come, I will tell you in detail what you should pay attention to when putting in medicinal herbs and condensed pills. The key is to pay attention to them correctly. I will show you the heat again!"
Elder Cui showed a hundredfold enthusiasm and taught Ye Ling the alchemy skills carefully again. He wished that he could refine the elixir immediately. He was even more anxious than Ye Ling so that he could collect his ten middle-grade spiritual stones.
Ye Ling secretly sighed and couldn't compliment the character of this qi training master, but he still admired his skillful alchemy techniques and paid extra attention to him.
In this way, Elder Cui taught tirelessly, and Ye Ling took the trouble to practice again and again, and finally refined a batch of first-class first-class rejuvenating pills!
When Ye Ling turned on the furnace, he smelled a faint medicinal fragrance and saw that among the twelve pills, only two were round and the remaining ten were all shapeless waste pills. Even so, Ye Ling was still excited and happily gave Elder Cui ten middle-grade spiritual stones.
Elder Cui naturally smiled from ear to ear, praising Ye Ling's amazing talent in alchemy, and rushed to say: "I wonder if my nephew still has spirit stones? I will teach my nephew how to refine other elixirs." ! Although the methods of alchemy are similar, there are still many differences."
Ye Ling saw that he was eager to teach the refining method of other elixirs, so he nodded and asked: "May I ask the elders, how to increase the elixir production rate? Is it based on long-term elixir refining? With the improvement of elixir refining techniques, Being proficient, you have naturally improved?”
Elder Cui rolled his eyes and said conspiratorially: "It's true as you said, but I can guarantee that I will teach you my alchemy experience, so that you can avoid many detours and save a lot of spiritual herbs and alchemy furnaces. Hehe, it can definitely be done. You can save a lot of spiritual stones and be promoted to an alchemist as soon as possible! You only need to spend a few middle-grade spiritual stones to get so many benefits, so why not do it?"
Elder Cui was insinuating at first, but later he simply asked Ye Ling for the spirit stone.
Later, Ye Ling simply negotiated with Elder Cui. If he really imparted his experience in alchemy to Ye Ling's satisfaction, Ye Ling would add a middle-grade spiritual stone and ask Elder Cui to answer all questions.
Ye Ling learned the art of alchemy from him, and it turned into a pure transaction. Driven by the spirit stone, Elder Cui worked extra hard, even more conscientiously than the sect leader Zhao Yuanzhen when he was there.
With in-depth study, Ye Ling became familiar with almost all the refining methods of first- and second-level spiritual pills, including the brewing of second-level spiritual wine, etc., and even learned from Elder Cui that using his Qi training methods In the middle stage of cultivation, only after being promoted from an alchemy disciple to an alchemist can one be able to refine elixirs that are one level higher than one's own, such as the third-level god-returning elixir.
Seeing that I have almost learned the art of alchemy, no matter what kind of elixir is refined, as long as you follow the instructions on the elixir, the alchemy techniques will be similar. Ye Ling knew that the only thing he lacked was his proficiency and experience in alchemy. Only when the elixir yield rate of refining top-quality elixirs of the same level reached more than 70%, could he be promoted to an alchemist and refine third-level elixirs. Dan.
In the end, Ye Ling couldn't get any valuable information from Elder Cui and finally stood up to leave.
Elder Cui hurriedly picked up the spirit stone on the ground, reluctantly gave it away, and said with a smile on his face: "If nephew Ye Xian encounters any problems in the process of refining the elixir in the future, just ask me! I will definitely tell you everything you know!" "
Ye Ling casually cupped his hands and walked away, directly to the sect's alchemy room. In the name of his master, Sect Master Zhao, who ordered him to learn alchemy, he ordered the disciples in the alchemy room to print all the prescriptions of low-level elixirs for him. Ye Ling passed through the sect teleportation array in Yaogu and arrived at Fengqiao Town.
In the market, Ye Ling did not hesitate to buy a large number of top-quality bronze furnaces for the price of one thousand spirit stones for elixir making. He even bought many types of low-level spiritual grass or spiritual grass seeds. Regardless of whether they are valuable or not, as long as they can grow the best ones in Jade Perry, which can be used to refine elixirs and improve their experience in elixir refining, Ye Ling will earn all of them. In the bag.
After everything was purchased, Ye Ling returned to the Medicine Valley and passed through the teleportation array on the side of the Medicine Valley Sect's main hall to the Songyang Jungle. Finally, Ye Ling entered the ice cave on the second floor of the cave and gave direct instructions to Li Bao and Sun Erhu, saying that they were going into seclusion and no one was allowed to disturb them.
Ye Ling returned to the ice cave, while sitting cross-legged and meditating, taking the Ruyi Zhuanshen Dan for daily practice of strengthening the body, cultivating the body, and tempering the body with the elixir; at the same time, he immersed the soul body in the jade pendant of the Immortal Mansion with his mind, and caught stars in the Immortal Mansion. Beside the spiritual field in Ya, an array flag was set up, a top-quality bronze furnace was set up, and frantic alchemy began!
