Bab 5: Chapter 5 : First Time Alchemy
Looking at this medicine cauldron, Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction.
Although this medicine cauldron obtained from Liu Xi is only the lowest-level two-pot medicine cauldron.
But for a novice like him, it is the most suitable.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Feng picked up the introductory book on alchemy obtained from Liu Xi and looked at the techniques for using the medicine cauldron again.
Then, according to the instructions, put your hand on the fire mouth of the medicine cauldron and circulate the Dou Qi to the palm.
As soon as the Dou Qi reached the palm, the medicine cauldron instantly emitted a stream of suction, sucking the Dou Qi in Lin Feng's palm through the fire mouth. With a muffled
"puff"
, the Dou Qi airflow was suddenly transformed into a red substance flame after passing through the fire mouth.
Inside the medicine cauldron, it kept churning and burning.
The palm suddenly spewed fire, which startled Lin Feng's heart and almost pulled his hand back reflexively.
Fortunately, he remembered what the book taught, so he suppressed his panic.
Looking at the churning flames in the medicine cauldron, he closed his eyes and slowly concentrated his mind.
The powerful soul perception constantly scanned the thin trace of wood power in the body.
After nearly ten minutes, Lin Feng finally found the thin trace of wood power in his body.
He stretched out a finger and tapped on another fire port.
A very thin green airflow was slowly poured in. As
soon as the green airflow entered the medicine cauldron, the red flame inside suddenly calmed down as if a chemical reaction had occurred.
At this time, even if Lin Feng had not yet controlled the flame,
he could still feel that the violent factor in the flame had been neutralized by the wood power.
And because of the principle of wood generating fire,
the flame at this time was obviously more durable and controllable than before.
He left the medicine cauldron and picked up a prescription called "Rejuvenation Powder" and read it again.
Rejuvenation Powder is a low-end prescription. Sprinkling it on the wound can stop bleeding and prevent infection, but it can only be used for external injuries. The required materials are: Biqinghua, Huichuncao, and Baibao Teng.
As for the medicinal materials needed for refining medicine, he had spent 20,000 gold coins to buy 100 copies at the Miter Auction House, which was enough for him to practice.
After reading it, he lit the fire again and flicked his fingers on the ring.
A faint light flashed, and a green medicinal material appeared in Lin Feng's hand, and then he threw it into the medicine cauldron. As soon
as the green flower entered the medicine cauldron, Lin Feng had no time to control it, and the flames fluttered up.
In an instant, it turned into a handful of black ash, and was finally expelled from the cauldron by the special setting in the medicine cauldron.
"Uh"
Lin Feng looked at the black ash in the medicine cauldron, scratched his head awkwardly, and picked up another green flower and threw it in.
This time, the green flower persisted in the flame for a while longer, and still turned into black ash.
"The temperature seems to be a little higher"
After going back and forth for more than a dozen times, Lin Feng carefully controlled the flame, and his soul perception firmly compressed the temperature of the flame.
His eyes stared at the green flower suspended on the flame through the ice mirror.
After churning in the medicine cauldron for a while, the blue flower gradually began to shed its skin.
The juice contained in the grass leaves was gradually smoked into a green powder.
After a while, Lin Feng got a green powder with sporadic black spots.
Looking at the finished product in his hand, Lin Feng showed a smile on his face.
Although the temperature control was still a little lacking this time, it was also a success.
An hour later, Lin Feng looked at the more than 20 portions of blue flower powder beside him and nodded with satisfaction. He
then picked up a rejuvenating grass and threw it into the medicine cauldron to start refining.
After refining more than 20 portions, he began to refine the treasure vine.
After refining 20 portions of the treasure vine, Lin Feng's face turned slightly pale. He could no longer hold on, stopped refining the medicine, and sat on the ground helplessly.
Although his skills were at the intermediate level of the mysterious level, controlling two medicine cauldrons for nearly four hours was already his limit.
"It seems that refining medicine is not an easy job!"
Lin Feng sighed, feeling that the fighting spirit in his body was almost exhausted.
He quickly sat cross-legged beside the medicine cauldron, practiced the technique, and began to practice.
The effect of practicing at this time is the best.
After closing his eyes and cultivating for a while, the cyclone in Lin Feng's body, which had become dim due to the exhaustion of fighting spirit, once again emitted
a bright luster. And this time, the halo seemed to be a little brighter than a few hours ago.
He slowly opened his eyes, and the sore and numb feeling of weakness all over his body also dissipated by more than half.
He twisted his neck, and the sound of bones colliding made Lin Feng breathe a sigh of relief.
Then he began to work on the most difficult and most critical step of refining medicine, drug fusion!
The reason why it is the most difficult is that the firepower required for each medicinal material is different.
And to fuse medicine, you need to put in multiple medicinal materials at once, and you need to accurately control the firepower of each medicinal material. He
took a deep breath, lit the fire skillfully, and threw the Baibao vine juice into the medicine cauldron.
A few minutes later, he picked up the essence of the rejuvenation grass next to him and threw it in again.
After the two were fused, he quickly threw in the blue flower powder.
Lin Feng stared at the medicine cauldron intently, and began to fuse the green and white liquid, controlling the flame to start heating up.
"Bang!"
Just as the fusion was about to succeed, Lin Feng accidentally raised the temperature of the flame a little higher, and the medicinal materials inside instantly turned into black ash.
He exhaled a breath of foul air and put in the materials again.
Fusion begins.
"Bang!"
The fire is too high, and it fails.
Put in the materials again.
...
After several consecutive failures, Lin Feng feels that he has almost found the right fire.
Put in the materials again, and in an instant, the surging flames once again envelope the various materials and begin to fuse.
When the last wisp of blue-gray color successfully merged, Lin Feng immediately reduced the gunpowder.
When the time is right, he waved his palm fiercely, and a ball of green liquid medicine fell accurately into the jade bottle that had been prepared long ago.
"Hehe, from now on, I am also an alchemist."
Looking at the liquid medicine in the jade bottle, Lin Feng's heart suddenly surged with pride.
Although because the fire was put out too quickly, there were some mottled colors mixed in it.
But anyway, this is already a bottle of liquid medicine that can be sold normally.
"Boom."
Lin Feng pushed open the stone door of the alchemy room and took a look at the date table updated every day by the Alchemist Guild on the opposite wall.
"It turns out that seven days have passed."
Lin Feng scratched his messy hair that had not been washed for a week.
He has been refining medicine crazily these days, and he didn't expect that seven days have passed.
After returning to the inn, he renewed his room for another month at the front desk.
After washing up in the room and putting on his alchemist apprentice badge, he went to the trading market of the Alchemist Guild.
Buying medicinal materials there is not only a rich variety, but also more secure than other places.
After all, those who can set up stalls there must be extremely wealthy.
Unless you have something very rare, who would be free to be a robber?
After entering the Alchemist Guild, Lin Feng went straight to the east area, which was the trading area specially designated by the guild.
When he came to the trading area, the vendors here were very different from those outside.
Not only did they not shout loudly to attract customers, but they sat leisurely on the soft chairs, and some even started to make tea.
If someone asked the price, he would stand up and talk to them.
Transactions worth hundreds of thousands often occurred in a few simple conversations.
After searching for a while in the market, Lin Feng came to a stall that seemed to have a relatively rich supply of medicinal materials. He asked the stall owner, who was in his sixties, "Senior, I want 30 portions of medicinal materials for hemostatic pills. Do you have any?"
"Haha."
The old man stroked his goatee and smiled, "It's just the medicinal materials for a first-grade pill. If you add so many, I can have it!"
"What's the price for 30 portions?" Hearing the old man's affirmative tone, Lin Feng asked again.
"Fifty thousand gold coins, or a pill of equal value."
"Senior, this is a second-grade peak pill, Qi-recovering pill. It should be enough."
Hearing this, Lin Feng touched his storage ring, took out a wooden box and handed it over.
The old man took the wooden box, opened it and looked at it, and nodded slightly: "Yes, it is indeed Qi-recovering pills. Take it."
As he said this, the old man also touched his storage ring, and the originally empty stall was instantly filled with various medicinal materials.
Lin Feng's eyes swept over it and did not find anything wrong.
He put it into his ring, then bowed to the old man and said, "Since the transaction is completed, I will take my leave."
After that, he walked towards the alchemy room he rented.
"Huh, thanks to Liu Xi's rich collection, otherwise I might not be able to buy these thirty medicinal materials after refining the rejuvenation liquid for a month."
Lin Feng returned to the alchemy room and placed the medicinal materials beside him. He couldn't help but thank Liu Xi again.
If it weren't for this first-class alchemist who brought him so many things, he would probably still be worried about his skills. After
adjusting his state, Lin Feng immediately released the medicine cauldron. Today, he wanted to try to refine a proper first-class elixir.
Although he was able to refine some liquid medicine, he could only be considered a first-class alchemist if he could refine pill-shaped elixir. He
skillfully made a fire, waved his hand, and threw a blood-clotting grass beside him into the medicine cauldron.
"Is this the hemostatic pill? The prescription says it's blood red, right? This pill seems to be too poisonous. Can it be considered a success?"
Lin Feng thought uncertainly as he looked at the dark red pill in his hand.
Then he shook his head and finally understood why it was said that only those who could make pills could be considered a first-class alchemist.
He originally thought that if he could make liquid medicine, it wouldn't be too difficult to make pills.
As a result, after working hard for half a day and using up thirty portions of medicinal materials, this thing came out.
Thinking of those medicinal materials, Lin Feng couldn't help but flash a trace of heartache in his eyes.
He only got three Qi-recovering pills from Liu Xina's ring.
And in this half-day's effort, the medicinal materials exchanged for one of them have been wasted.
Lin Feng thought secretly in his heart: "Should I take a pharmacist as my teacher?"
Immediately, Lin Feng put an end to this idea.
If he took a disciple now, if there were no special circumstances, he could only stay by the teacher's side to learn until he became a master.
This is nothing for ordinary people, but for Lin Feng, it is a disaster.
After all, by that time, many of the adventures he knew about would have been taken away by Xiao Yan.
Moreover, he was going to Canaan College in two years. If he became his disciple, then he would go to the college to study. Wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the teacher?
