Chapter 11 The First Alchemy
The explosion of the alchemy furnace was not powerful, but it only made Xu Fan look gray.
Xu Fan thought about the reason for a long time, and finally discovered that it was because the speed of the last operation of the elixir shaping and elixir condensation skills was too fast, which caused the furnace to explode.
Just when he was thinking about how to improve, Xu Fan suddenly rushed towards the alchemy furnace quickly.
"Don't let anything happen to my alchemy furnace."
After carefully looking around the alchemy furnace, I finally found a small crack near the fire tank.
This is what the disciple said to Xu Fan when he remembered selling the alchemy furnace.
"Alchemy furnaces of this level can generally only withstand ten explosions at most. I hope senior brother will take care of it."
In the end, the disciple gave him a meaningful look.
Now Xu Fan understood the meaning of that look.
"Sure enough, alchemy has nothing to do with poverty."
People with average qualifications don't know how many pill furnaces they need to explode.
There is a saying in the world of alchemy, twenty furnaces will produce an elixir, fifty furnaces will produce an elixir, a hundred furnaces will produce a master, and a thousand furnaces will produce a master.
This not only tells the world how difficult it is to make alchemy, but also tells the world that without spiritual stones, you can’t even afford a furnace for practicing.
"Am I not qualified to make alchemy?" Xu Fan looked at the crack with distress and said.
Xu Fan cleaned up and started a new one. What he is practicing now is the most basic Bigu Pill in the world of immortality.
A good Bigu Pill can even help monks improve their cultivation.
Half an hour later.
'boom!'
Xu Fan completed the second furnace explosion in his life.
"Damn it, I can't believe I blew up the furnace for the third time."
Xu Fan's eyes turned red, he quickly cleaned the alchemy room and started refining the alchemy for the third time.
Another half hour passed.
'boom!'
The alchemy furnace exploded for the third time.
This time Xu Fan calmed down.
After removing the defensive spells from his body, Xu Fan began to think calmly.
An hour later, Xu Fan first carefully observed the essence of the elixir that had been refined in advance to sense the medicinal power and spiritual power contained in the elixir.
Half an hour later, Xu Fan put down the elixir in his hand, put his hand on the alchemy instrument, released his senses and began to carefully perceive every detail of the alchemy furnace.
"When I was refining the elixir just now, my mood was really ups and downs. I just thought about practicing the top Bigu elixir all the way."
Xu Fan let out a long sigh of relief. No matter what he did, being in an unstable mood was a taboo.
Close your eyes and go through all the details of alchemy again in your mind.
Starting the furnace, creating spiritual fire, releasing the essence of the elixir, molding the elixir, tempering and restructuring...
Until the end of collecting the elixir, Xu Fan remained in a highly concentrated state.
"Cheng Dan!"
When the elixir was finally finished, Xu Fan took out the jade bottle that he had prepared.
The top cover of the elixir furnace opened automatically, and Xu Fan used the medicine introduction technique to introduce ten bigu pills the size of glass balls into the jade bottle.
It wasn't until the last moment in the Alchemy King's City that Xu Fan showed a smile.
"That's right, the first time I succeeded in refining alchemy, I got a grand slam, which is a good sign."
Xu Fan picked up the jade bottle and released a Bigu Pill.
"It has a spiritual light on the surface and a strong aroma of the elixir. This is a middle-grade Bigu elixir."
"If you want to buy it, this middle-grade Bigu Pill can be sold for 2 spirit stones."
"Not counting the loss of the elixir furnace, the spiritual fire used four spirit stones, and the four portions of the elixir used to refine the Bigu Pill are worth 10 spirit stones."
"So, it took me a long time to earn 6 spiritual stones."
As he spoke, Xu Fan began to frown slightly, feeling that the interest rate was much different from what he had imagined.
He forgot that a month ago, he was a humble outer disciple earning 700 spiritual stones a year.
"But if one furnace is successful, 1 spiritual stone is consumed and 2.5 spiritual stones are elixired, then this furnace can earn 17.5 spiritual stones."
"With a profit of nearly 600%, is this business a promising business?" Xu Fan touched his chin again and said with a smile.
"Okay, wait until you feel better and try a few more times."
At the same time, the same scene happened to the other nine disciples in the same class as Xu Fan. They all held the fragments of the alchemy furnace and began to cry without tears.
The next day, Xu Fan appeared in class in high spirits.
Sha Yan was already waiting in the classroom with a middle-aged monk.
This middle-aged monk is Xu Fan's main teacher, an alchemist with peak foundation cultivation, named Sha Jingtian, who is also Sha Yan's father.
After all the disciples in the class arrived, the middle-aged monk on the stage slowly said: "Did you succeed in refining the Bigu Pill yesterday?"
Xu Fan remained silent in line with the principle of keeping a low profile. He looked around and found that all the disciples had grimaces on their faces.
At this time, Sha Jingtian laughed, as if he remembered the time when he first learned alchemy.
"The feeling of exploding the furnace must be unpleasant. If nothing else happens, those disciples who were eager to succeed yesterday may have destroyed the alchemy furnace."
"Teacher, how do you know?"
"Haha, teacher, you guessed wrong. I blew up two alchemy furnaces."
"I almost lost my life yesterday when I was refining the elixir."
Xu Fan looked at the complaining disciple and mentally murmured: Is it so difficult to make alchemy?
After everyone had expressed their opinions, Sha Jingcai continued: "Don't doubt yourself. It is normal for you to blow up the furnace now."
"There is a saying you must have heard: Twenty furnaces will produce an elixir, fifty furnaces will produce an elixir, a hundred furnaces will produce a master, and a thousand furnaces will produce a master."
"I tell you these, these are the standards for genius. If you want to become a basic alchemist, it is normal to blow up more than 100 alchemy furnaces."
"By the way, the standard for a basic alchemist is to be able to refine 10 types of lower-grade elixirs and one first-level elixir."
"Only in this way can you be qualified to become a basic alchemist."
"If you have the resources to support you, you can learn slowly."
"If not, I'll give you a piece of advice. If you still can't master three elixir recipes before exploding ten elixir furnaces, give up as soon as possible."
"Without resources, the road to alchemy is too difficult."
As he spoke, he glanced at the three people below, including Xu Fan. These three were all people without family support or a lot of resources.
But when Sha Jingtian looked at Xu Fan, something strange flashed in his eyes, so faint that he couldn't even notice it.
"Okay, without further ado, let me tell you why you failed when refining the Bigu Pill."
The whole morning was spent correcting mistakes. After Sha Jingtian's class was over and all the disciples left, Sha Jingtian looked at his daughter.
"Do you know about the disciple named Xu Fan?" Sha Jingtian asked.
"He is just an ordinary outer disciple with some spiritual talent."
"A very ordinary, very low-key disciple." Sha Yan said.
"Pay more attention to him in the future. This disciple may not be simple." Sha Jingtian said. As an alchemist, he is particularly sensitive to the smell of elixirs. As soon as Xu Fan entered the classroom, he smelled a faint smell of Bigu on Xu Fan's body.
The taste of Dan is relatively pure.
"Why?"
