Fights Break Sphere: The Fire Rekindles

Chapter 38 Refining Blood Coagulation Powder

After Xiao Yan returned to the Xiao family, he walked straight to the back mountain. When he reached the top of the back mountain, he pulled out an iron chain from a hidden bush and climbed down along the chain. When he reached the end of the chain, he pushed hard against the mountain wall and fell to a platform.

After reaching the spacious platform, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was about to become an alchemist, and he was still quite excited. Alchemists were the national treasures of Douqi Continent, just like giant pandas, with a high status. If Xiao Yan stayed in Wutan City, he only needed to become an alchemist to easily bring down the Jialie Family and the Oba Family.

Xiao Yan looked at the two storage rings on his left hand, a smile appeared on his lips, now he was richer than the entire Xiao family. Although they were just low-level storage rings, only his father Xiao Zhan and the Great Elder had one, but he had two.

Xiao Yan stroked one of the storage rings and flicked his fingers. A red medicine cauldron nearly half a meter wide appeared in Xiao Yan's hand. Xiao Yan weighed it and found it was quite heavy.

The entire medicine cauldron is dark red in color, with two ferocious snake heads carved on it. There are also carvings of magical beasts painted on the surface of the cauldron, which look lifelike, as if they were a living creature.

Xiao Yan looked at the medicine cauldron from left to right and found that it was exactly the same as the one Xiao Yan had in the original novel. However, this was normal, after all, this kind of medicine cauldron was mass-produced and not unique.

At this time, Yao Lao transformed into a white light floating out of the ring, and then said lightly: "The two-mouthed cauldron is just right for a novice like you."

"Two-Mouth Cauldron?" Xiao Yan scratched his head, somewhat confused. Although he knew it was a two-mouthed cauldron, he was not quite sure about the ins and outs of it.

However, after Yao Lao's explanation, Xiao Yan still understood some knowledge about the medicine cauldron. At this time, he couldn't pretend to know something he didn't know. After all, refining medicine was not a simple matter. If there was a little mistake, it would fail directly.

After Xiao Yan understood how to use the medicine cauldron, he immediately asked, "What should we do now?"

"Haha, since you have the strange fire, you don't have to transform it through the fire mouth. You can directly summon the strange fire and put it into the medicine cauldron." Yao Lao said with a smile.

Xiao Yan obediently summoned the strange fire in his body and was about to send the black and white flame in his palm into the medicine cauldron when Yao Lao's voice rang out.

"Your Yin and Yang flames are composed of white and black flames. If you use them together, they are just ordinary strange fire. But if you use them separately..."

"Teacher, are you saying that we should use the two flames separately and use the white flame directly to refine the medicine?" Xiao Yan asked doubtfully.

"Haha, didn't you try it before? Using a single white flame to refine medicine can increase the healing effect of the refined medicine, improve the quality, and also have some unexpected effects." Yao Lao said with a smile.

Xiao Yan extinguished the flame in his hand and waved his hand again. A ball of white flame appeared in the palm of his hand. This ball of white flame exuded vitality and smelled refreshing.

Xiao Yan sent the white flame in his palm into the medicine cauldron, and asked Yao Lao with a smile: "Should I inject the wood power in my body into this flame next?"

"Hahaha! You know a lot. Other alchemists naturally need this, but you don't. This kind of strange fire of yours seems to be specially used for refining medicine. To be honest, if I were to make a choice, I would definitely choose the Yin and Yang Dual Flame instead of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire. Now you just need to put the herbs into the medicine cauldron for refining." Yao Lao Da said with a smile.

Listening to Yao Lao's envious voice, Xiao Yan smiled and recalled the recipe of Blood Coagulation Powder in his mind. "Blood Coagulation Powder: one Blood Coagulation Grass, one Vitality Fruit, and two Poppy Flowers."

Xiao Yan flicked his finger on the storage ring lightly, and a dark red blood coagulation grass appeared in his hand. He threw the blood coagulation grass into the mouth of the snake head on top of the medicine cauldron.

As soon as the blood coagulation grass came into contact with the strange fire, it instantly turned into ashes and was expelled from the medicine cauldron by a special device in the medicine cauldron.

Xiao Yan saw that he failed to refine the medicine the first time, and blinked his eyes, not surprised. Although he could control the temperature of the flame at will, and knew what temperature was needed to refine the blood coagulation grass, he didn't have a thermometer, so how could he know what the temperature of the flame was. So there was nothing he could do, he could only keep experimenting to gain experience.

Xiao Yan lowered the temperature of the flame in the medicine cauldron by a few degrees, took out another blood coagulation grass from the ring and threw it into the medicine cauldron. The blood coagulation grass turned into ashes again after it came into contact with the flame. Xiao Yan lowered the temperature of the flame again by a few degrees, and kept trying. After paying the price of dozens of blood coagulation grasses, the blood coagulation grass finally stayed quietly in the flame.

Through the ice mirror of the medicine cauldron, Xiao Yan carefully observed the blood coagulation grass in the medicine cauldron that was constantly rolling in the flames. However, Xiao Yan did not start to refine the blood coagulation grass directly at this time, but began to slightly increase the temperature of the flame. As the temperature of the flame increased, the blood coagulation grass turned directly into black ash after reaching a certain critical point.

Looking at the blood coagulation grass that turned directly into ashes, Xiao Yan smiled. He took out another blood coagulation grass from the ring and put it into the medicine cauldron. This time, the blood coagulation grass did not turn into ashes, but stayed quietly in the flames. Without waiting for the blood coagulation grass to be refined, Xiao Yan began to lower the temperature of the flame. When the temperature reached a certain critical point, the blood coagulation grass also turned into ashes.

Whether it is refining medicinal materials or melting elixirs, the flame temperature cannot be too high or too low, otherwise it will fail.

With the temperature of the blood coagulation grass as a reference, after paying the price of more than a dozen vitality fruits and a few poppy flowers, Xiao Yan quickly found the temperature range of these two medicinal herbs.

After everything was ready, Xiao Yan divided the flame in the medicine cauldron into three, and the three flames burned at different temperatures. He then took out a blood coagulation grass, a vitality fruit and two poppy flowers from his ring and threw them into the three burning flames.

Under the burning of the strange fire, the blood coagulation grass was extracted into a white powder, the vitality fruit was extracted into slightly black fine particles, and the poppy flower was extracted into a light red liquid.

Seeing that all three medicinal materials had been refined, Xiao Yan knew that the most important step had come, which was to fuse all the three different medicinal materials together. Because the three medicinal materials required different temperatures, the alchemist had to master the temperature of any flame color. Only alchemists with high enough soul perception could do this.

But this most difficult and important step was extremely simple for Xiao Yan, because Xiao Yan not only had a strong soul perception ability, but also had perfect control over the strange fire. He did not feel the slightest bit awkward, and did not look like someone who had just obtained the strange fire.

Xiao Yan first controlled the liquid extracted from poppy flowers to wrap the pure white powder, so that the two could merge and form a light red viscous liquid. He continued to warm the liquid until it turned into a dark red paste. After the two were completely fused, Xiao Yan began to increase the temperature of the flame around the black particles extracted from the vitality fruit.

Seeing this scene, Yao Lao nodded with satisfaction, thinking to himself, "My disciple's talent in alchemy is truly unprecedented! His control over fire is not like that of a novice, but rather as proficient as that of a veteran."

The black particles extracted from the vitality fruit finally exploded under the ever-increasing temperature. Handfuls of black powder slowly floated into the light red paste, making the latter's color a little darker.

After Xiao Yan had absorbed all the black powder, he extinguished the flame in the medicine cauldron. He opened the lid of the cauldron and took out the blood coagulation powder that he had just refined. Looking at the large ball of deep red paste in his hand, Xiao Yan smiled.
