Chapter 16 Looking up to the scholar
"Junior Brother Xu, how many times have you turned on the furnace this month?"
After introducing Xu Yi into the house, Lu Fang asked carefully after serving tea.
Xu Yi thought for a while and said, "I haven't counted it carefully. I just took the time to start the furnace and refine the alchemy after practicing."
"Oh." Lu Fang nodded in contemplation.
The main energy is naturally correct in practicing. If you devote all the other time to alchemy, you can probably refine three or four furnaces. This talent is really shocking to complete the refining of medium-grade elixirs in such a short time.
"Junior Brother Xu, I have a elixir furnace at my home. Although the quality is average, it is more than enough to refine Zhuangqi pills." Lu Fang said with a smile.
"Brother Lu asked me to refine a furnace now?"
"good."
"Okay." Xu Yi did not refuse. The reason why he came here today was because he had already mastered Zhuangqi Pills, so he was confident.
There must be an alchemy room where the alchemist lives. Of course, this is just a super-small alchem room. It can only refine some of the most basic elixirs, and due to limited conditions, it is difficult to refine high-quality elixirs.
Generally speaking, the alchemy room here is only for preparation, and the real place for alchemists to work is still in the sect's alchemy room.
Xu Yi took out a portion of medicinal materials from the bag behind him, and it was a semi-finished product that had been pretreated in advance.
Lu Fang was slightly stunned and smiled and said, "Good junior brother, you have prepared for it." Although there is no shortage of elixir coal in his alchemy room, the medicine may not be complete. Since Xu Yi brought it with him, it would be great.
Xu Yi smiled. Although he had 1,500 experience in alchemy refining, he had only dozens of experience in pre-treating herbs. When facing exams, playing to one's strengths and avoiding one's weaknesses is a very important point of attention. Xu Yi, who came from Blue Star, would certainly not ignore it.
As the Dan coal is ignited, the Dan furnace gradually becomes hot.
Xu Yi felt the temperature and put the first herb into the stove.
Lu Fang, who was watching quietly next to him, nodded secretly. The time for choosing this fire was very reasonable. It seems that this kid has two brushes, and those elixirs may really be made by him.
When the alchemist teaches his disciples, he will tell you what medicinal materials to put when the fire reaches medium temperature and what medicinal materials to put when the fire reaches medium temperature.
But, what is medium temperature and high temperature?
There are also tricks to mastering the fire. No matter how rich the theoretical knowledge is, it still requires practice.
It was only after thousands of refining experience that Xu Yi vaguely grasped the temperature changes of the alchemy furnace and knew the difference between medium and medium temperatures and high temperatures.
The pretreated medicine contains a certain amount of water and quickly boils in the Dan Furnace.
Xu Yi calmly put in several subsequent medicinal materials step by step, and after stirring for a few times, he sealed the alchemy furnace.
Looking at these series of movements like flowing water, Lu Fang had deep self-doubt in his eyes.
Is this a novice in one month's performance? He is afraid that his mastery of Zhuangqi Pills is not much inferior to himself. This level is not an exaggeration to say that he has more than a hundred times of alchemy experience, even if it is ten times more.
However, he didn't know that Xu Yi had actually refined more than a thousand furnaces this month. Even he was beyond the reach of his experience in refining Zhuangqi Pills.
Soon, the herbs boiled in the alchemy furnace, and various medicinal effects began to exert their wonderful effects and slowly combined together.
This kind of alchemy furnace is not sealed, and it has a small and thin mouth that allows the water vapor to evaporate. Xu Yi sniffed it gently beside the alchemy furnace. After so many experiences, he was able to grasp the extremely subtle difference.
After a while, Xu Yi's eyes lit up slightly. He kicked him quickly, closed the air outlet directly, then shook his wrist and opened the lid of the alchemy furnace. Suddenly, the rich fragrance of medicine evaporated, and the entire alchemy room was filled with smoke and the fragrance spread.
"good."
Lu Fang shouted heavily, with an indescribable look of admiration in his eyes.
Just now, when the elixir incense changed, Lu Fang also smelled it. However, just as he was considering whether to remind Xu Yi, the kid had already completed the process of sealing the fire and opening the furnace in one go.
Xu Yi grasped the entire process of alchemy with great accuracy. Whether it was the timing of drugging, the control of the fire, or the moment of opening the furnace, he felt that it was just like this if I was just a change.
At this moment, Lu Fang's feeling in his heart was quite complicated.
Although he was able to become an alchemist, he was more talented than his talent.
I remember that there were thirty people who were selected as alchemy apprenticeships at the beginning, but in the end, due to various reasons, most people gave up this seemingly promising profession.
Although there are resources issues, more of this is due to time cost issues.
When a person spends a lot of time and uses a lot of resources, but cannot refine any finished elixirs, the frustration is absolutely indescribable.
It’s like a student who was one of the best in his class in junior high school, but after getting to high school, he turned into a crane every time he got into the exam.
With this mentality, there are only a handful of people who can survive it. Just like there were only two people who could eventually become junior alchemists with more than 30 apprentices in the past. In fact, if it weren't for the strong support of the family, he might have given up long ago.
But at this moment, looking at Xu Yi's alchemy process, he really felt a feeling of looking up.
That's a feeling of a poor student looking at a top student, quite a bit disgusting!
After three times, you can master the Zhuangqi Pills to such a skillful level in one month. Oh, this is the result of the other party's main energy focusing on practice. If you devote yourself wholeheartedly to the alchemy, what will happen?
Lu Fang shook his head vigorously. He was a little reluctant to think about it, or he didn't dare to think about it carefully. Otherwise, he would be afraid that he would have some bad thoughts.
Xu Yi took out the sticky medicine liquid and started to roll it into pills. Soon, thirteen pills were put into the medicine bottle.
In a furnace of elixirs, there are basically elixirs of the same quality, but sometimes they also have different qualities. This time, the elixirs refined by Xu Yi are all medium-grade Zhuangqi Pills.
Lu Fang carefully tasted it and finally believed that the pills were indeed refined by this kid himself.
"No, you... are very good."
Xu Yi smiled and said that the furnace was turned on for more than a thousand times, and if he still couldn't get such an evaluation, he could jump off the building.
"Brother Lu, I have something to ask for when I come here today."
"What's up?"
"I want to ask for a pill to break the realm and the method of refining this pill." Xu Yi said solemnly.
