Gou on the road of longevity

Chapter 38 Two Years
At Ye Mingqi's residence,

The most eye-catching thing in the room is the alchemy stove in the middle, with three round legs and about half a person's height.And right in front of the alchemy stove, there was a futon.And behind the futon, there is a table.A set of ingredients for refining hunger pills was placed on the table.

As early as in the "Spirit Medicine Garden", Ye Mingqi showed the alchemy furnace that Dao Wei gave to the appraisal staff who sold the pill furnace. According to the appraisal staff, the pill furnace in his hand was a first-grade pill furnace, suitable for the period of Qi training And the monks in the foundation period.There is an array at the bottom of the pill furnace, called the "Fire Gathering Array", which allows the absorbed aura to be evenly distributed throughout the bottom of the furnace, so as to avoid the consequences of burning the pill due to excessive firepower.

At this time, Ye Mingqi threw three Pill Fire spars to the bottom of the furnace, preparing to preheat the Pill Furnace.

In fact, the number of Pill Flame Crystals also determines the temperature of the Pill Furnace.The more the quantity is placed at the bottom of the furnace, the higher the temperature of the furnace will be.The smaller the quantity, the lower the temperature of the alchemy furnace.Danhuo spar is not like the fire control method, which can control the size of the fire anytime and anywhere. As long as it is unsealed, it will output a fixed proportion of firepower.Therefore, some special elixirs require the cooperation of alchemists to control fire to refine elixirs.However, the only advantage of the alchemy spar is that it can make alchemy for a long time, helping alchemists save a lot of energy.

Ye Mingqi made a formula, and a spell hit the pill flint.The Danhuo spar was originally sealed by mana, preventing the firepower inside from leaking out.As the formation was unsealed, a flame ignited under the alchemy furnace.

As it is said in the alchemy book, alchemy can only be understood, not spoken.What is meant by understanding is to pass on the power but not the fire, because the fire is difficult to control, so according to the change of temperature, when to put what pills, only an approximate time is given by the unilateral prescription, and the alchemist needs to keep grinding, and change the specific formula according to the effect of the medicine. state.

As the temperature rose, Ye Mingqi threw in the herbs one by one.

Following the addition of the medicinal materials, Ye Mingqi threw three Pillfire spars into the bottom of the furnace.

An hour passed, and the medicinal materials in the furnace began to melt slowly.

It was only at this time that Ye Mingqi sighed, fortunately he had the Pill Fire spar, otherwise he would not have died of exhaustion with his fire control technique.

Another hour passed,

Ye Mingqi revisited the process of alchemy in his mind, the first step, refining, he had already heated up the furnace; the second step, forging.Heat the spirit grass put in at high temperature.

As the impurities of the medicinal materials slowly fade away, it turns into a liquid.At this time, Ye Mingqi knew that the third step was to raise.He took back a few pill flints, and slowly heated them at a low temperature, allowing the liquid to fuse into pills.

At this time, Ye Mingqi was determined, the alchemy has been completed more than half.Now it's time to roast, process the formed elixir, and locally heat the unfiltered impurities to make the elixir more perfect.

Another hour passed, and Ye Mingqi felt that he was about to finish his job, and was ready for the last step, Feng.

Ye Mingqi put the lid on the furnace and refined it on a low fire for an hour before he could only make a pill.

After sealing the alchemy furnace, Ye Mingqi had never felt such fatigue, as if he had been concentrating on fighting the enemy for a whole morning, and if he was not careful, all his efforts would be in vain.

Ye Mingqi sighed, alchemy is not easy to practice.

As an hour passed, Ye Mingqi turned on the pill furnace, and a white smoke came out. There were ten pills lying quietly in the pill stove, and there was no so-called pill light in the pill.

If a perfect elixir has the aura of heaven and earth, it will form a space of its own.From the perspective of outsiders, it exudes a strange light. This kind of light is also called Dan Guang by the world.

The brightness of the pill light is also the criterion for judging the quality of a pill.

Ye Mingqi didn't start the second furnace right away, because it's just taking shape, and the effect still needs to be verified.But from the current point of view, Ye Mingqi's direction is correct.

After Ye Mingqi took a hunger relief pill, half a day later, he started to feel hungry again.This premise shows that the hunger pills refined by Ye Mingqi are not finished products.

At this time, Ye Mingqi picked up the jade slip again and reviewed the refining process.

He reflected on the process of his alchemy just now. At this time, he realized that when he was forging in the second step, the high temperature heating was too slow, causing part of the medicinal effect to be volatilized as impurities, so the medicinal effect was only half. Effect.

Ye Mingqi sighed, ready to continue alchemy.

The second time, because the raising time was too short, the effect was not good.

The third time, there were too many seals, resulting in poor results.

Finally at the fourth time, Ye Mingqi finally succeeded.

Ye Mingqi saw the blue light shining in the pill furnace, each pill was like a gem.

He was holding a pearl-sized hunger relief pill, green and attractive, exuding an unknown elixir fragrance, which made people want to eat him.

Ye Mingqi thought about it for a while, and then continued to make alchemy.

With Ye Mingqi's practice, the proficiency of the Jiehun Pill is getting higher and higher, and it is less labor-intensive to refine it.

For a currency like hunger pills, there is a fixed price in the market.Generally speaking, the selling price of Jiehun Pills is half an inferior spar more than the raw material.

Hey, it's no wonder that the weak water sect has to increase the price in the outer sect, otherwise, after practicing for so long, it wouldn't count as a failure rate, basically it would be considered hard work.But it's normal to think about it. Every profession is more and more popular as it goes up, while people at the bottom can only be used as practice or to earn some coolie money.

Beginning disciples only have a monthly salary for the first three years.After three years, the disciples need to make money by themselves, and the sect does not support idlers.If the foundation building period is not reached, there is no corresponding monthly salary.

If beginners are short of money, they can find a job and get a little money every month.And Ye Mingqi was not interested in joining, and he didn't go to Gongshan Pavilion to receive the mission of the sect.

Now, with the income from alchemy, Ye Mingqi will not become a source of water, and he does not have to make ends meet, but also has his fixed income.

Two years passed by in a hurry,

Ye Mingqi's life was as usual, except for chatting with Che Qian regularly for two years, to learn about the overall situation of the sect.His life is alchemy, cultivation, and reading.

But for Ye Mingqi, there is a kind of happiness in the ordinary life.Because he has experienced the pain of being displaced, he knows that the ordinary years are the best days.

When Che Qian knew that Ye Mingqi had started alchemy, his eyes flashed, and he said sincerely: "Brother Ye, I will start to study formations in the future, so that I can better assist Brother Ye."

"Don't don't don't, let nature take its course. Practice whatever brother Che likes." Ye Mingqi quickly advised.

Ye Mingqi didn't know whether Che Qian had listened or not.

In the blink of an eye, two years have passed like this.

At this time, Ye Mingqi received a text message from Daowei asking him to come to his room tomorrow morning.
