Ten thousand I am across the heavens

When he mentioned Ningxue Powder, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel nostalgic. This was the first elixir he refined. At that time, he was in a hurry when extracting the medicinal power from the medicinal materials. Many medicinal materials were even destroyed. Finally succeeded.

This is because he is born with strong soul power. If it were another alchemist, he doesn't know how much it would cost to get started.

If Lan Nuo wants to truly refine his first elixir, he will probably need to waste a lot of medicinal materials. Fortunately, the medicinal materials required for first-class elixirs are quite common, and many of them can even be obtained through planting. Yes, even if it is wasted, I won’t feel particularly distressed.

Now that he had decided to learn how to make medicine through traditional methods first, and then find a way to industrialize the medicine, Lan Nuo also purchased the medicine cauldron like a normal alchemist. According to Xiao Yan, although the medicine cauldron is good for refining The pharmacist has a lot of bonuses, but the most important thing is the skill of the pharmacist himself. If the strange fire he used was not too violent, it would always burn out his medicine cauldron, and he would not have to change to a higher grade. of medicine cauldron.

Therefore, the medicine cauldron Lan Nuo chose was not a top-notch existence. It was just a medicine cauldron commonly used by novice alchemists. With the completion of the preparations, his first medicine practice had begun. Medicine refining can be roughly divided into Three steps. One step is to burn the medicinal materials and then extract their essence from the medicinal materials. The second step is to fuse these essences together. The potencies of different medicines will repel each other and fuse them together. , not only requires strong mental power to squeeze them together, but also needs to remain stable during the squeezing process. This is the most difficult step in the process of refining medicine.

This process is like holding two champagne towers, moving them closer and to the correct position. The soul power is equivalent to the hand holding the two champagne towers. Once the strength is not enough and trembling occurs, the champagne towers will If it collapses, the refining of the medicine will fail.

Relatively speaking, the last step is much simpler, which is to form the elixir. It only needs to maintain the burning of the flame stably, just like the fire in the last step of cooking to collect the juice, so that the prototype of the elixir can condense into the real elixir. That's it.

However, when refining medicine reaches this point, the pharmacist is often exhausted, and this step consumes a lot of stamina, so the failure rate is also quite high.

When refining low-level elixirs, failure is still tolerable. After all, the materials are relatively easy to obtain. But when refining some extremely high-level elixirs, many precious materials are simply unique. Failure means that all the materials have been wasted. Naturally, it is impossible to tolerate failure. The higher the level of the alchemist, the higher the success rate in the refining process. This is why they are so popular.

Lan Nuo knew a lot about these things. The only thing he didn't know was what kind of talent he had in refining medicine. At this time, following Xiao Yan's instructions, he began to wrap the medicinal materials with fighting energy. The pill furnace for refining medicine could Convert his fighting spirit into flames that can burn medicinal materials, allowing him to release flames similar to real fire before reaching the fighting spirit level. Only after reaching the fighting spirit level can he use his fighting spirit to condense substantial flames without relying on the alchemy furnace. .

At this moment, he placed his hand on the alchemy furnace, and one medicinal material after another was put into it. Each one was quickly wrapped in flames, and then the essence contained in it was extracted with incomparable precision.

Lan Nuo feels that this process is like playing Tetris, and it is not very fast. He only needs to operate step by step, have enough patience, and make no mistakes, and he can perfectly extract every dose of the medicine.

Xiao Yan, who was watching from the side, was secretly frightened. The first time he refined the medicine, he was not so fast. Even if he was careful and the simplest step of extracting the essence, he would often fail.

A lot of medicinal materials are wasted. Only after you become proficient can you ensure the success rate of refining medicine. And his performance back then was considered a genius in Yao Lao's opinion.

But Lan Nuo's performance was much more incredible. Not only was the refining speed very fast, but there was not even a single mistake. The essence of all the medicinal materials was extracted perfectly, without even a trace of waste. He doesn't look like a newbie at all, but like a master who has been in the medicine refining industry for many years.

After Lan Nuo easily extracted the essence of all the medicinal materials, he began the second most difficult step, which was to integrate the medicinal powers with each other. In this process, he had to ensure the extraordinary structure of each medicinal essence. Remaining stable under the power of his soul, the process of getting closer to each other was like stacking blocks.

It's just that what he is holding is not a single building block, but a pile of already assembled building blocks, put together with another pile of already assembled building blocks. During the collision between the two parties, once something happens, If it is not stable, it will be like knocking down dominoes, causing the entire structure that was finally built to collapse.

The alchemist needs to wrap them with the power of his soul to cushion the collision caused by contact with each other to ensure that they will not collapse. As for the prescription, what is recorded above is the splicing sequence of these structures. To a certain extent, if you want to become an alchemist, you must have a certain foundation in geometry to be able to understand the complex requirements of the prescription.

Although it is impossible for Lan Nuo to make mistakes on these issues that seem to be extremely basic to him, it is not difficult for him to control the power of his soul and wrap these extraordinary structures to splice together. Extraordinary structures that looked extremely fragile to others seemed to be quite strong in his eyes. As long as he did not suffer from cerebral thrombosis, he would not damage these extraordinary structures. This was because he had long been accustomed to dealing with all kinds of structures. He controlled these sophisticated structures. Although these extraordinary structures were fragile, they were nothing to him who once regarded splicing atoms and molecules as a daily routine.

It only took a moment for a few drops of pure medicinal liquid to completely merge. As he slowly continued to heat it, the liquid gradually became viscous and turned into a ball. A moment later, a perfectly round pill appeared. , fell into his hands again, and there was no flaw at all from the appearance.

Xiao Yan opened his mouth next to him and shook his head helplessly: "It seems that I have nothing to teach you about refining first-grade elixirs. Even in my heyday, when I was refining first-grade elixirs, I probably There’s no way I can do better than you.”

Lan Nuo thought for a while and said: "Just refining it is indeed not difficult for me. Now I want to know more pharmacological knowledge and learn how to compile the prescription of a first-class elixir. If other medicines are provided, If the prescription for a first-grade elixir requires extra money, I can also spend money to buy it or exchange it with some precious items."

Xiao Yan shook his head: "That's not necessary. The first-grade elixir prescription is actually not particularly valuable. If you have to make an analogy, the value may be equivalent to a book of low-level fighting skills of the Xuan level. The market price may be less than 10,000 gold coins. The price will be slightly higher until you get second-grade elixirs. I can give you all the prescriptions for these first-grade elixirs in my collection. It seems that you are the type who is better at summarizing statistics. I will teach you pharmacology as much as possible. , maybe you can summarize some rules that I haven't discovered yet."

As Xiao Yan spoke, he wrote down prescriptions one after another. Normally, prescriptions need to be condensed with soul power, so that the experience of the previous alchemist refining the medicines can also be recorded. in it. In this way, when the next alchemist reads the prescription, he can further improve the success rate of refining. However, considering that Lan Nuo is an understatement when refining a first-grade elixir, the success rate is almost 100%, even if he does not use his soul. The prescription written by the power was recorded on paper, and it had no impact on the success rate of his refining.

Lan Nuo weighed the elixir in his hand, looked at the prescription in front of him, and shook his head sadly.

The price of the elixir in his hand is close to one thousand gold coins in the market, which is more than the annual income of most ordinary people. The price of medicinal materials is negligible compared to this elixir, less than one-tenth of the elixir's price.

You can imagine what a lucrative profession a pharmacist is. With Lan Nuo's current soul power, if he can only refine a first-grade elixir, he can keep refining it for a day. At the end of the day, refining a hundred elixirs will not be a big problem. , which is one hundred thousand gold coins in one day. If you don't consider whether it can be sold, you can stably buy a local low-level fighting skill in three months. This is only the lowest value first-grade elixir.

Of course, a normal alchemist's soul power cannot be as tenacious as his, and it is impossible to refine elixirs like this continuously. Even for first-grade elixirs, refining more than a dozen pills a day is quite extreme.

But Lan Nuo obviously will not be satisfied with this. Even if he develops his efficiency to the limit, one hundred first-grade elixirs a day is still a negligible output for the entire Dou Qi Continent. Only true industrial mass production can achieve this. A yield that satisfies him.

In the following period, Lan Nuo was not in a hurry to refine the second-grade elixir. Instead, he had long-term discussions and studies with Xiao Yan on pharmacology, and improved the prescription of the first-grade elixir again and again. .

Just like this, a month passed. Xiao Yan looked at the prescription in front of him that had been reduced to less than one-third of the original, and blurted out: "Sometimes I really wonder if your brain is a computer. I As soon as you come up with an improvement idea, you can instantly give an improved prescription."

Just after he finished speaking, he saw Lan Nuo showing him a meaningful smile, and then he realized that he had subconsciously said something that did not exist in this world.

However, Lan Nuo didn't seem to be bothered with this matter at all. Instead, he arranged the simplified first-grade elixir prescriptions in front of him. Under them, there were various medicinal materials and the medicinal properties of these medicinal materials that had been summarized before. .

Xiao Yan would think that his brain was like a computer, but it wasn't that he had developed his brain to this extent. When physical conditions do not allow it, the current computing power of his brain is not much stronger than that of a calculator. The reason why he can calculate results instantly is because the calculations are all done in rehearsal. Although There will be situations where the signal is not good during the rehearsal, but Lan Nuo himself can exist as a bystander and the time spent will not be reduced. During this period of time, he can still think and calculate, stretching out the original time. If it is 50,000 times longer, there will naturally be enough time for calculations, and the results can be obtained in a blink of an eye in reality.

Now he has simplified all the first-grade prescriptions, removing all unnecessary steps and steps that may increase the difficulty. Some even the formulas have been changed beyond recognition, transforming the original complex prescriptions into This is the simplest state now.

But even in this simplest state, without the talent of an alchemist, there is still no way to successfully refine it.

But thankfully, during this process, Lanno has also summarized the pharmacological properties of each drug, that is, what kind of extraordinary structure is contained in each drug.

The extraordinary structure contained in these most basic medicinal materials is like one basic rune after another. No matter how complex the medicine is, it is built up bit by bit from these basic runes.

"I have a little idea. I wonder if you have any impression of Tang Zhen, the master of Burning Flame Valley?" Facing these medicinal materials, Lan Nuo gradually clarified his thoughts. At this stage, his knowledge and skills are far from enough. It is still a bit ambitious to completely separate the alchemists from refining elixirs, but if the efficiency of alchemists in refining elixirs is greatly improved, and they are included in a brand new elixir refining system, mass production of elixirs can also be achieved to a certain extent. purpose of medicine.

"Master Tang Zhen Valley?" Xiao Yan showed a trace of nostalgia on his face and nodded: "Of course I remember. If he hadn't secretly taken action when I was wandering around, you might not have been able to see me. Why did you mention him suddenly?"

"Tang Zhen Valley Master is not an alchemist, but he can rely on the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire to help the alchemist refine the essence of medicinal materials. According to my own experience in the refining process, even if the step of refining the essence of medicinal materials does not have the wood attribute, It can also be done. If this step is stripped out, it is theoretically possible to achieve industrialized mass production of medicinal essences.

In this way, the efficiency of alchemists can be greatly improved when refining medicines. We can even standardize the essence of medicinal materials to make the formula for integrating various medicinal powers simpler, further improving the efficiency of medicine refining. " Lan Nuo said while writing his ideas and formulas on the paper.
