Chapter 533: A Little Touch

It's so complicated, when Yuan Tian began to learn to refine the third-level elixir, he found that it was not as easy as before. It's no longer just a matter of recording it, because the refining of a third-level pill is not just a matter of mixing a few things together and starting to burn them in the furnace.

First of all, several kinds of medicinal materials are ground into powder and mixed in, and then several other medicinal materials are cut into small pieces, mixed together, blanched with hot water and set aside, and several other medicinal materials are cut into strips and baked in the stove for a period of time before taking them out. These processes seem simple, but in fact, there are so many details that need to be observed and recorded, and some are difficult to count.

It is good to say that several medicinal materials that are ground into powder can be small and stirred evenly, so there will not be too many errors. However, how big should the several medicinal herbs cut into small pieces? If the pieces are a little bigger or a little smaller, will it have any impact on the final success rate and quality? In addition, it is not easy to grasp the opportunity when blanching, not only the temperature of the hot water, but also the time to enter and exit the water. Even the depth of entering the water, the technique when entering the water, and even the indoor air temperature at the time of exiting the water may affect the success or failure of the final alchemy and the level of quality.

The last few strip-shaped herbs need to be baked in an advanced furnace. In addition to mastering the oven temperature, it is also necessary to learn how to bake and grasp the opportunity to flip. In addition, the medicinal herbs are baked until they are hot and ripe, and it is not just a matter of looking at the time. Yuan Tian had to follow the old alchemy master and learn to observe the color of the roasting herbs. Of course, he will still take into account the roasting time, and also carefully observe the bar-shaped herbs that are roasted each time. What is the length, what is the width, what is the thickness and then how long is the baking time. This volume of bar-shaped herbs, at a certain temperature, how long has been roasted to reach a certain maturity, what kind of color will it embody.

There are too many details to observe and record, and Yuan Tian has been busy dealing with these factors during this time, and he has not carefully refined the third-level pill. These combined factors are intertwined, and it is really very different from the previous record of a few simple data.

When the old alchemist cuts the medicinal materials, he basically relies on the feel, and when he roasts it, he also feels the feeling and observes the color. They will be baked when they are almost baked, and they will not control the temperature of the oven and the volume of the herbs too strictly. This is difficult to reach the source of the sky, although the final amount of each medicinal material is regulated, but the weight of each article is not regulated.

If Yuan Tian wants to bake the standard doneness, he has to record all the data generated by the old alchemist during the roasting process. However, these data are changing, because the master uses a temperature this time, the volume of the herbs is like this, and the baking time is like that. Then the volume of the other herb will change, and then the furnace temperature will also change slightly, the baking time will be different, and the frequency of turning will also be different.

Fortunately, Yuan Tian has been trained by the Killer Heart Sutra, and his observation and endurance are strong enough, and his eyes hurt when he looks at these details these days. However, in order to learn to refine higher-grade pills, Yuan Tian still had enough patience.

"The source team leader hasn't started alchemy yet, and it seems that he is still observing. ”

A middle-aged alchemist who was slightly chubby and wearing a navy blue gown was the first to express his opinion. In fact, since Yuan Tian began to learn to refine the third-level elixir, everyone in the manufacturing group has been teaching him very seriously, and at the same time, they are also observing his every move.

"The third-level pill is not that simple, you studied it for three years before you succeeded in a furnace. ”

"Yes, Xiao Chen, half of your first furnace was a waste pill at that time, and the source team leader had just started learning alchemy. ”

The two older alchemy masters talked about their views. Because Gentian really learned too fast before, and the success rate was extremely high. They also had illusions about the refining of the third-level elixir this time, hoping that the source team leader would be able to quickly learn to succeed at one time. But when you think about it, it's not that easy in the world. Even if you are a genius, you have to have a learning process. You can't wait until you've finished learning, then it's not a matter of genius, it's not something that people can do at all.

"I found that the source team leader has a lot of observations about the roasting of the medicine, should I write a message to him? ”

The last person to speak was not very old, younger than the middle-aged man who was called Xiao Chen just now. However, his brain is very bright, and his observation is also good, and he has already discovered that Yuan Tian has put the most effort into the process of roasting strip-shaped medicinal herbs.

"That's true, and I think it's necessary. ”

The older old alchemy master who spoke before stroked his chin and nodded slightly. He had a serious demonstration of the alchemy process for Yuan Tian to see, trying to make him see it clearly. However, he really didn't pay much attention to the question raised by the young alchemist. Now that it has been raised, he also feels that there is indeed a problem.

Since the source team leader is most interested in the roasting of strip-shaped medicinal herbs, he can demonstrate this process several more times. In addition, you can also write your own experience in cutting, baking, etc., and give it to the source team leader.

"Here, let's try this!"

On this day, everyone in the manufacturing group had just come to the outer hall of the alchemy room to sit down, and they had not yet entered the alchemy room to start working. After Yuan Tian came in, he suddenly took out a large jar and enthusiastically let everyone taste it. When the yellow mud at the mouth of the altar is knocked off, and then the lid is opened, there is an intoxicating aroma that fills everyone's sense of smell.

Wow! Everyone was shocked, they had never smelled anything so fragrant after staying in the Nanzhou Martial Arts Continent for so many years. In particular, the aroma of the sake has the aroma of seafood, what is this delicacy that is so tempting.

What the hell is this, of course, it's a drunken crab that was pickled by the deputy leader of the source and captain of the source himself. The time of 7749 days is up, and the drunken crab can already come out of the altar. Everyone ate a drunken crab in their hands, and they were so moved that they almost didn't shed old tears. In order to organize the assigned mission, he came to the Nanzhou Martial Arts Continent, although he also heard the prosperity here, but he would never be able to eat such a drunken crab. Eating drunk crabs like this really makes people miss their hometown a little.

"Team Leader, we have something to give you. ”

The youngest alchemist in the manufacturing group was the first to finish eating the drunken crab and then speak. He took out a booklet and handed it to Gentian mysteriously. At this time, the alchemists who were still eating drunken crabs also stopped and looked at Yuan Tian.

What's the situation, why everyone looks very mysterious. Yuan Tian opened the yellow booklet and saw that it was so good, it was exactly what he needed most at the moment.
