Dou Po: My days as a mentor at Canaan College

Chapter 103 Battle Qi Strength
According to the common sense of pharmacists, there are three most important conditions for refining elixir.

That is: material, fire, and soul perception.

Materials naturally refer to the ingredients that make up the elixir.

And the kindling refers to the flame needed for refining medicine. It is impossible to use ordinary firewood to refine medicine, and you must use the fighting energy flame catalyzed by the fire attribute fighting energy, or the heaven and earth different fire that has been refined by yourself. , Only in this way can the flame be driven like an arm, and it is relatively easy to refine some difficult-to-dissolve materials into the elixir you need.

The last condition, the perception of the soul, is used in the refining of elixir, which is to control the severity of the heat. It is necessary to fully control every detail in the medicine cauldron and the progress of refining the medicine.

Otherwise, if there is a slight deviation in the middle, no matter how good your first two conditions are, it is just doing useless work.

……

Let's say that Liu Xi poured the flames of battle energy into the medicine cauldron, but suddenly closed his eyes and sank down.

He knew that the battle qi flame he condensed at this moment was not the fire of refining medicine, but also lacked a ignorant element, which was a trace of wood attribute battle qi in his body.

A moment later, when he turned the shallow wood-attribute fighting energy in his body into a green air current and poured it into the medicine cauldron.

His soul perception felt that the rampant orange-colored golden flame in the medicine cauldron was neutralized, and it seemed to be much easier to control.

Moreover, among the five elements, according to the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint of attributes, wood generates fire, and the strength of the domineering flame in the medicine cauldron did not weaken after becoming docile. On the contrary, the toughness and calcination durability increased a lot, and it was easier to control.

While maintaining the output of the flame, Liu Xi recalled the ingredients of the medicinal materials needed for "Congealing Blood Powder" and the sequence of dissolving and refining the medicinal materials.

"A clotting grass..."

"One qi fruit..."

"Poppy one... eh? What the hell is the name Poppy?"

"..."

Of course, complaints are complaints, although Liu Xi doesn't know why people in this world magically name this medicinal herb that is usually used to relieve pain as "poppy", but since everyone calls it that, he naturally can't be it. Heterogeneous.

However, just after he finished complaining, a blood coagulation grass that was put into the medicine cauldron through the hole, under the flames in the medicine cauldron, something went wrong!
In just one breath, in his perception, the blood coagulation grass turned into pitch-black ashes in an instant.

"Damn it! What's going on here? The steps and techniques are obviously correct. Could it be that I was distracted just now?"

Frowning slightly, it took some time to adjust his mind, Liu Xi let out a light breath, and started a new round of refining.

But things don't go according to people's wishes.

When he threw in a new blood clotting grass again, it only took a breath, and the blood clotting grass turned into ashes again.

At this time, Liu Xi's brows were locked, and the fire and wood attribute fighting energy that was imported into the medicine cauldron temporarily died down, and did not continue.

He stared cross-legged at the side of the medicinal materials, carefully recalling the situation just now.

If the first time, it might be because he was distracted, then this time, under his repeated attention, how could he make a mistake in the same place again?
Is he just pulling his hips like this?

To know.

This is only the first step of refining medicine, which is to dissolve the medicinal materials and extract the useful ingredients. This step tests the basic skills of a pharmacist. If you are poor at this step and cannot complete it, let alone There is still a chain of steps, it is impossible to refine a real pill.

But after Liu Xisi thought about it, this is actually a situation that should not have happened.

After all, even if the original alchemist's alchemy skills were not good enough, he was also a genuine alchemist with a first-grade alchemist badge issued by the Jiama Empire Alchemist Association. Something went wrong.

"So, where is the problem?"

After racking his brains and thinking for a while, the root of the problem still hadn't been figured out. Unable to bear it, Liu Xi gritted his teeth and planned to try a few more times. He really didn't believe this evil!
Dou Qi flames mixed with meager wood-attributed Dou Qi were poured into the medicine cauldron, and then, Liu Xi put the first medicinal ingredient required for refining "Congealing Blood Powder" into the medicine cauldron through the hole.

This time, his soul consciousness was firmly perceiving this process, concentrating on it, and the level of consciousness was unprecedentedly concentrated.

rustling~
According to his perception, the blood coagulation grass, after being thrown into the medicine cauldron, was reduced to... ashes in just one breath.

numbness.

Three consecutive failures made Liu Xi really numb.

"Mom, what a pity... Fortunately, Xiao's family sent a lot of medicinal materials, otherwise the blood coagulation grass will be gone after two tries..."

Depressed, Liu Xi had fun, teasing himself.

"No! This time I'll try another kind of medicinal material. If 'Ningxue San' can't be refined, I'll try 'Rejuvenation Pill'!"

Thinking of this, Liu Xi immediately acted.

However, under the perception of his soul perception, he found that the first ignorant medicinal material "Spring Returning Leaf" for refining "Rejuvenation Pill", after being put into the medicine cauldron, had the same "end" as the Blood Coagulation Grass.

He felt that his whole body was about to collapse...

Could it be that during the process of refining medicine, he just stretched his hips and looked so weak?
Even the scum of the original body, the first link in refining medicine has always been unimpeded.

Frustrated, he smashed the pot and threw it out of order, and then threw a bunch of herbs into the medicine cauldron.

And as if there was no accident, this ignorant medicinal material was also burnt by the flames of battle energy in the medicine cauldron, and it couldn't hold on for a while. Before he could dissolve and purify useful ingredients from it, it was directly reduced to ashes.

"Impossible, the temperature in the medicine cauldron is obviously in the appropriate range, how could it be so? I have also maintained the fighting energy that maintains the flames at an appropriate frequency... eh? Wait, fighting energy... the intensity of fighting energy"

A flash of light flashed across his mind, he realized something, he no longer looked at the situation inside the medicine cauldron, but turned to control the frequency of battle qi transmission, weakening and doubling the frequency.

Then, he casually threw in the medicine cauldron with one ignorant medicinal material.

Breathe...

two breaths...

This time, under the flames, the medicinal materials persisted for three breaths before they were turned into ashes.

"Finally, I found the reason..."

Withdrew his hands from the position of the crater channel, Liu Xi's eyes lit up.

The root of the problem has always been not in his refining techniques, steps and technical details, but in himself.

Ever since he completed the transfer and transformation of his skills in Qingshan Town, and practiced "Sheng Huang Yan Jue", the intensity, frequency, quality, tenacity, and power of his battle qi have undergone earth-shaking changes in all aspects.

A wisp of fighting energy that is also output is equal to several or even dozens of wisps before.

On the surface, the condensed dou qi flames did not seem to have changed much, but in fact they were no longer the same. He controlled the temperature and heat in the medicine cauldron to be exactly the same as when the original body was refining medicine. This is true. .

But the flame itself transformed from battle qi, the quality and intensity of the restrained and tyrannical battle qi are very different, when the flame touches the medicinal materials and burns, it will be truly reflected.

If we really want to say that the medicinal materials were burnt to ashes by the fighting qi flames, it would be better to say that they were crushed by the concentrated strength of the fighting qi flames.

The temperature and frequency of the battle qi flame condensed from the previous strands of battle qi are the same on the surface as the flames that are actually condensed from unknown strands of battle qi before, but can the intensity be the same?

The internal frequency of one burning fever is equal to several burning burnings in the past.

In fact, it means that he has never thought about it in this direction, otherwise he should have discovered this when he failed in refining medicine for the first time.

"It's time to change the transmission frequency of the condensed flame's battle qi, and we can no longer use the original method..." Liu Xi looked at his palm and muttered.
