Chapter 33: The First Alchemy
Alchemy is not a simple matter, so Zhou Mu has been waiting for himself to be more proficient and said, now these knowledge have not yet been mastered.
The year of the herb.
The size of the spiritual fire.
The quality of the Dan furnace.
All kinds of things have to be learned, and it's not simple, unless he can suddenly get the memory of an alchemy master, but unfortunately there is no such thing.
During this time, Zhou Mu was immersed in alchemy, like an ocean of knowledge, which made him addicted.
However, Zhou Mu also calculated it, Ye Ling was also about to get out of the customs during this time, and the Qi Refining Realm was the spiritual power that appeared in the dantian, and the Foundation Building Realm was the cyclone that exchanged these spiritual powers for a ball.
It seems easy, but it is really hard.
Today, Zhou Mu is finally going to try alchemy for the first time.
He plans to refine it is Xiao Huandan.
This elixir is the most basic elixir, and the alchemy apprentice is also one of the several pills that can be refined.
It belongs to the lower grade elixir.
However, before refining, Zhou Mu first entered a state of closing his eyes for a quarter of an hour, and he had to calm down completely, so as to ensure the success of alchemy.
Zhou Mu took out the Dan furnace that he had purchased at the Zhou Chamber of Commerce before, and there were many patterns carved on the outside, one-third of which was as high as one, but it was very heavy, and the whole was cyan.
Suitable for people with wood spirit roots, Zhou Mu specially purchased this one, using the principle of the five elements of wood to make fire, which directly made the spiritual fire more powerful.
Zhou Mu put the medicinal materials needed for the pill into it in turn, the same and the same, not repeated, and the amount was also particular.
Generally, there are nine in one furnace, and nineteen in turn...... In the end, it was ninety-nine.
If this amount is exceeded, it is generally something that the alchemy master can achieve.
Now Zhou Mu just wants to refine nine.
The one he bought at the Chamber of Commerce before was at least nine pills, and of course there were many special pills, and in the end, there were only one or two like this, but those were relatively special pills.
When he put all the medicinal materials into it, in the end, he added a special spirit tree spiritual liquid, which was very viscous.
Zhou Mu put his hands on the cyan alchemy furnace, and the spiritual power in the dantian was continuously input into it.
In the cyan alchemy furnace, bursts of cyan flames began to appear, and they began to refine the medicinal materials of this furnace.
Zhou Mu began to constantly use his spiritual sense to control the cyan flames, and constantly refine some medicinal materials that needed to be dissolved first.
I saw that these elixirs continued to turn into bursts of brown-black liquid, constantly diverting to the spiritual liquid of the spirit tree, and the transparent spiritual liquid was also constantly incorporated into these brown-black liquids.
"First this, then that."
Zhou Mu was very strict in the refining order of Xiao Huandan, constantly turning the elixir into various liquids, and then condensing them together.
Half an hour later.
"Success?" Zhou Mu's hands left the cyan alchemy furnace.
His whole person looked a little tired, not because of lack of spiritual power, but mentally, and at the same time, he had to operate the cyan spiritual fire, as well as medicinal materials, and he wanted to use it for several purposes, no wonder it was the original test, that is, to manipulate the spiritual fire at the same time to divide it into ninety-nine parts.
Zhou Mu picked up the bronze pattern lid of the alchemy furnace expectantly, and first a burst of fragrant white smoke floated out, without waiting for the joy on his face to appear.
Then another burst of black smoke appeared.
"Failed!" Zhou Mu smiled bitterly.
In the cyan alchemy furnace, he saw that there were three half-finished pills, and the others were all a mass of viscous things, and he couldn't see the pills at all, but like ointment.
"Let's wait a while!" Zhou Mu knew that he might be in a hurry just now.
He closed his eyes and began to recall each step, constantly remembering which step he had made wrong.
"The control of the spiritual fire is too poor."
"After the medicinal herbs are turned into liquids, they can't enter the spiritual liquid of the spirit tree in time."
Zhou Mu kept summarizing his problems, just to find out the mistakes and then correct them.
Half an hour later, Zhou Mu continued to open another pot of Xiao Huandan's pill.
This half an hour, on the one hand, is to find out the problem, and on the other hand, to calm down.
It was similar to the previous process, but Zhou Mu began to pay attention to many details and correct them one by one.
After a quarter of an hour, he withdrew his hands, Zhou Mu's mood at this time was a little apprehensive, he didn't know whether he succeeded or failed.
Still unveiled the lid of the furnace with a bronze pattern, Zhou Mu smelled some fragrant smells as before, and there were no other smells behind him.
"It should work out this time, right?" Zhou Mu thought in his heart and looked inside.
The four small pills were lying quietly inside, round and moving, exuding fragrance.
However, this kind of refining elixir, after some time, the aroma will dissipate, so there is no need to worry.
"It's a pity that the others, this kind of barely has the same value as the elixir, and I don't have to make any money!" Zhou Mu thought, in fact, he was also very satisfied, after all, he had successfully refined the second furnace, although it was not very much.
Because it is impossible for an ordinary alchemy apprentice to have nine pills, all of them will be successfully refined at once, if you refine several furnaces of pills in a row, all of them are nine, then you are an alchemist.
You can really start earning spirit crystals.
The time for alchemy seems to have passed by a rapid pace.
For a day and a night, Zhou Mu refined the elixir, and in his addiction, he refined all twenty parts of the elixir, but the ending was unexpected.
Of the twenty elixir materials, only one-third succeeded, that is, seven, and each elixir only had the number of four or five.
That is, it is a loss to go home.
"Among the immortal cultivators, those who refine weapons and alchemy are all losers!" Zhou Mu remembered this sentence and felt that it made a lot of sense.
It's just an alchemy apprentice, but it needs to consume so many elixir materials.
There are also alchemists, alchemy masters, and alchemy grandmasters in the back.
There are a lot of resources, Zhou Mu shook his head, he only needs to reach the alchemist.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Knock knock!"
"Come in!" Zhou Mu said, it should be Gongsun Bo, he didn't show up in the past two days, and even the Alchemy Academy didn't go to the class.
Because the Alchemy Academy is not mandatory, but you need to listen to the alchemist's lectures again.
As for if you want to learn alchemy, you either bring your own materials, or you have to sign a contract with the academy, which will take up to twenty years, and it will definitely train you to become an alchemist.
But you also become an alchemy machine, emotionless.
"Zhou Mu, are you alchemy?" Gongsun Bo saw the cyan alchemy furnace, and the room was full of the fragrance of pills.
"Well, yes, itchy hands, practice!" Zhou Mu said with a smile, and then took the cyan alchemy furnace back.
In fact, Gongsun Bo chose the talisman, and he is also a big consumer, but he doesn't have much refining alchemy, but it also requires a long time of practice.
"Just now I met someone I know well, I think it's a distant relative, and he said that there might be a war!" Gongsun Bo said with a solemn expression.
"Over there?" Zhou Mu had already guessed that this evil attack directly ambushed the academies of the two cities, and Qimu Academy also lost face.
"Yes, two immortal cultivators were admitted to the hospital in Haining City this year, and the others were either seriously injured or disabled, and they couldn't cultivate at all, and even the rest of the Qi Refining Realm immortal cultivators were also taken prisoner by the Blood Butterfly."
"Moreover, because the foundation building genius of the Spirit Corpse Sect, that is, Wang Jian, was killed by us, they suspected that it was our teacher from the Ning Dan Realm who made a move."
"So they've announced that they've joined forces with the Blood Butterfly Faction and intend to wage a hunting war against us." Gongsun Bo was a little worried.
"How so?" Zhou Mu was also speechless, he couldn't imagine that killing a Wang Jian would cause such a serious matter.
"I'm also strange, maybe it's some high-level things, we don't know!" Gongsun Bo sighed.
"The battle of the hunt!" Zhou Mu said softly.
In fact, it was the first graduation ceremony he attended that time, and it was almost the same, that is, an area was demarcated, but it was full of foundation building realm immortal cultivators, and the number of people on both sides was basically the same.
Then continue to hunt, but only hunt the other party's life, not the jade plate, all of them are a battle of life and death.
There is also a time limit, and when the time comes, it will depend on whose disciple has lived more.
If there are more, it is the winner, and the hunting battle, before the two forces were under pressure.
Moreover, in the hunting area, there are not only opponents, but also spirit beasts in the Ning Dan Realm, all of which are full of crises.
"Did you say how old you are in the Foundation Realm this time?" Zhou Mu asked, he knew that this was equivalent to being in a playground, playing tricks for others to see.
But after joining Qimu Academy, people blessed you, and even if you disappeared, it still took a lot of manpower and material resources to find you, which is not without a price.
"I don't know!" Gongsun Bo spread out his hands, he was just an ordinary foundation building realm early stage cultivator, where did he know so many things.
"Your door is not closed!" Ye Ling's voice came in.
Zhou Mu and Gongsun Bo looked at Ye Ling directly, a little stunned.
"What's wrong? I have flowers on my face, but I'm just like you now, and I've entered the special hospital! Ye Ling said a little shyly, his cheeks became a little rosy, after all, Zhou Mu was the person he liked.
"It's over!" Gongsun Bo sighed.
"When did you break through the Foundation Realm?" Zhou Mu also said with a wry smile.
"Just last night, I stabilized the realm until now, and I have already gone to the special hospital to report." Ye Ling said with a smile.
However, Ye Ling saw that the expressions of Zhou Mu and the others seemed to be very strange, as if she had broken through to the foundation building realm, which was not good news.
"Why do you look unhappy, isn't it good for me to catch up with you?" Ye Ling asked puzzled.
"You're breaking through too fast, it's not a good thing right now!" Gongsun Bo said solemnly.
