Chapter 139 Refining Qi Replenishing Pills
Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo immediately realized that Elder Zhang had just put in two portions of herbs and she planned to refine two pills.
The two white jade dew drops evaporated immediately due to the heat, the blazing fire spread wildly, and then the white jade dew turned into hazy white steam in the embrace of the fire.
"The function of the white gyokuro is to make the herbs added later be heated evenly."
Zhang Yunxue explained as she put in the remaining herbs: "Then add Danqi grass and honeysuckle."
As the herbs were added, the flames in the alchemy furnace gradually became hotter, and the slowly rising hot air was filled with bursts of fragrance.
As the Danqi grass and honeysuckle were heated, they absorbed the white gas formed by the White Jade Dew, becoming more and more transparent until they almost disappeared.
"The order of alchemy is very important. Once you have absolute strength, you don't have to worry about the order in which the herbs are added."
She did not speed up the process of refining the elixir. If it were in the past, the Qi-replenishing Pill would have been ready soon.
But in order to let Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo see more clearly, she deliberately slowed down.
"Finally, add the sour jujube kernels and ginkgo leaves and increase the heat. The reason why we put the secondary medicine last is that these two herbs are more susceptible to heat and can melt together with the main medicine."
After Zhang Yunxue added all the herbs, she slightly stimulated her true Qi to increase the intensity of the flame.
"The threshold for the entry-level alchemist certification exam is very low and easy to pass. The quality of the pills is divided into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade."
She controlled the spiritual fire and continued, "Beginners may see phantoms formed by their true qi when refining pills for the first time."
Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo saw the phantom that Elder Zhang mentioned.
Several blue butterflies danced above the alchemy furnace, each time their wings flapped gently, they brought with them a fragrant aroma.
They were flashing a faint blue light, and finally they fell on the alchemy furnace, then turned their heads and looked at Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo.
"These butterflies are the phantoms of true qi. Some people will see these phantoms when they make pills for the first time. This is a kind of talent that will make it easier for you to get started in making pills." Elder Zhang explained patiently.
"Of course, there are many who have awakened after birth. All the disciples in Sunset Sect who can materialize their true energy have joined Elder Duan's Alchemy Peak."
The materialization of alchemy qi is a talent of the alchemist.
Generally speaking, he can refine higher-grade pills than alchemists of the same level.
Zhang Yunxue continued, "Candidates who can materialize their true qi in the alchemy exam will have an extra five-pointed star on their alchemist certificates."
"Chengdan."
After she finished speaking, the butterflies left the alchemy furnace, landed on her shoulders, and then disappeared.
She used her true Qi to take out two Qi-replenishing pills from the furnace. The pills looked like crystal clear gems, emitting a faint blue color.
There is a dan pattern on the Qi-replenishing pill.
Zhang Yunxue is a fourth-grade alchemist, and the qi-replenishing pills she refines naturally have pill patterns.
She handed the two top-grade Qi-replenishing pills to the two men.
"This is a gift for you. An ordinary Qi-boosting pill can help you slowly recover your Qi."
"This top-grade Qi-boosting pill can slowly restore your Qi while allowing you to instantly recover some of your Qi."
She smiled and continued, "Don't tell the other elders that I secretly gave you the elixir."
Otherwise, the other elders would accuse her of being biased.
Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo took the Qi-replenishing pills and examined them carefully. It was the first time they had seen such a top-grade pill.
"Thank you, elder!"
"Thank you, Elder Zhang."
"Did you remember the process just now?" Zhang Yunxue asked.
She has taught dozens of disciples who wanted to learn alchemy, and after watching her make the alchemy, those disciples would ask some questions.
"remember."
The two said in unison.
Zhang Yunxue took out a spare alchemy furnace and placed it on the table, and prepared four sets of materials for them.
The reason why each person prepares two portions of herbs is because beginners usually fail the first time.
There was a reason why more herbs were not prepared. After refining the pills twice, the cultivators with lower realms had very little true Qi left.
The disciples who came to her to learn alchemy would fail the first time, and most of them would also fail the second time.
"Xia Xiaomo, you try it first."
She was looking forward to seeing whether these two disciples had any talent in alchemy.
Xia Xiaomo came to the alchemy furnace and recalled the process of Elder Zhang's alchemy just now. She placed the herbs on the table in order.
She raised her hand and formed a seal with one hand.
There was an excitement and nervous look in her eyes, and a bright flame was dancing in the furnace.
There was a slight frown on Zhang Yunxue's brows, and she was secretly amazed in her heart. She didn't expect Xia Xiaomo to be able to make seals with one hand.
In Sunset Sect, she had never seen a disciple at the third level who could form seals with one hand.
It only proves one thing, Xia Xiaomo has a high level of understanding and talent.
She thought to herself, he is worthy of being a disciple that even the deputy sect leader cares about.
Zhang Yunxue reminded: "Failure is the mother of success, don't worry about the result. Alchemy is like spiritual practice, you can't be impatient when cultivating your mind, let alone alchemy."
"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Feel the changes of the herbs and the temperature of the fire carefully."
Xia Xiaomo nodded slightly, carefully controlling the flame and watching the changes in the furnace.
When the fire was burning, Zhang Yunxue reminded: "The fire should be just right. Remember to control the temperature and never let it be too strong."
"You can add herbs to it now."
Xia Xiaomo placed a white jade dew into the alchemy furnace according to the method she had just seen from Elder Zhang.
She felt every detail, carefully blending the herbs and flames.
At this time, the fire was like a docile beast, and the white jade dew turned into light smoke.
Xia Xiaomo added Danqi grass and honeysuckle. As the fire rose, the herbs gradually turned into balls of hot gas, emitting a lingering aroma.
She calmed herself down and tried to feel every change.
Sometimes the fire was increased, sometimes it was decreased.
Xia Xiaomo tried to master the combination of each herb and the temperature of the fire. She was so focused that it seemed that the only sound in her ears was the sound of the burning fire.
"Yes, that's it."
Zhang Yunxue was very satisfied with Xia Xiaomo's performance, which was just the right amount.
As time went on, the changes in the furnace gradually stabilized.
"You can add the auxiliary medicine now." Zhang Yunxue said.
Xia Xiaomo added sour jujube kernels and ginkgo leaves, making the medicinal aroma in the furnace more intense.
Zhang Yunxue nodded. If nothing goes wrong, this Qi-replenishing pill will work. She has become more and more satisfied with these two disciples in the past two days.
There is still some time before the pill is completed, so she plans to give Xia Xiaomo some inspiration. She also wants to see if this disciple can materialize his true qi.
"Imagine being in a meadow, with no one around, only flowers and trees, and a blue sky and white clouds. Then imagine that suddenly a creature walks into your world."
After hearing what Zhang Yunxue said, Xia Xiaomo closed her eyes and created a small world in her mind as the elder said.
