If you want to make alchemy, you must first solve the problem of furnace and fire.

On the Tianshu Continent, some alchemy schools have unique alchemy methods that don't use alchemy furnaces and fire at all.Ge Dalu's condensed state flow is the artistic conception of alchemy, no furnace and no fire.But for Wu Maxi, a novice in alchemy, there was no furnace or fire, so he could only stare blankly at the medicinal materials.

The stove was not a problem, there were several high-grade alchemy stoves stored in the elephant ring of the ancient dagger, which was enough for Wu Maxi, a novice in alchemy.

The next fire is a problem.

To make alchemy, it is definitely not possible to use firewood. Except for some high-quality fuels, ordinary firewood is too polluted, the temperature is not high enough, and it is not easy to control. Alchemy is definitely not possible, and Wumaxi has no firewood to burn.

The alchemists on the Tianshu Continent usually use the fire of talismans.What Ju Hansong used was the Nanli talisman commonly used by mainland alchemists.

After all, Lu Huo is still a man-made fire, and it is relatively easy to get, but Talisman Fire is rare.Talismans are naturally formed, and they are extremely rare in nature, but water and fire are invisible things, and it is even more rare to make talismans.Any water and fire talisman is a rare treasure with a sky-high price.

Master Lihuo, Guishuangdeng, once left the White Elephant Realm Academy for a top-quality fire talisman, Huoyun.There is also a celestial master named Sun Xi who thinks that Ningsi is a kind of water talisman. He tossed and tossed beside the Huaihua well for decades, got nothing, and died without looking at his eyes.

In Lou Yuyi's note "Hunting Strangeness", there are several top-level fire talismans recorded, such as Xinyan, Huoyun, Wayi, Chongyang, etc., but most of them are just rumors, and they are short-lived in the history of artistic conception cultivation for thousands of years. , without a trace.

Wu Maxi had no idea about these legendary talisman fires.In the "Ge Shi Dan Jing", it is recorded that there is an artistic conception of flame and fragrance, which is the fire of alchemy commonly used by alchemists in the early stage of condensing the realm.It's a pity that this artistic conception needs to be divided into sixteen branches, and Wu Maxi can only stare blankly.

Therefore, the only thing Wu Maxi can use now is the talisman fire.It's a pity that he doesn't have a ready-made fire talisman, only a blueprint for making Nanli talisman.

In other words, the problem of alchemy has been successfully transformed into the problem of making talismans.

The history of making lu will not be much shorter than the history of artistic conception weaving.In terms of the maturity of the discipline, it will not be much worse than the study of artistic conception. It is a complicated and extremely large subject. It may not be possible to exhaust all of them.

Fortunately, Wumaxi's blueprint for making the Nanli talisman is very detailed, and it can be regarded as the fool's production plan.Thanks to the Gu Dagger, Wumaxi had a lot of materials, so she started to practice without any regrets.

The base material of Nanlilu is Ziou stone, which is a kind of purple ore with golden star dots on it.The production of Nanlilu is extremely simple, and it is called a simple copy of a craftsman.First of all, the Ziou stone is ground into a disc shape, and then engraved with patterns on both sides of the bottom of the disc, embedded with curved gold in the pattern, consecrated with Taiyan juice, and then embellished with misu solid pattern, red Liquid quenching, and you're done.

The grinding of the disc in the first step can be regarded as a labor of strength and time. Wu Maxi has excellent patience, knowledge of the structure is extremely precise, and the polished disc is extremely standard.Then came the engraving of the talisman pattern.

Generally speaking, in the production process of lu, engraving lu patterns is the most delicate and complicated process.There are five or six kinds of holding gestures of the sleeves, all of which are extremely demanding. Usually, to achieve the standard holding gestures, you have to practice for many years. If the basic skills of the gestures are not achieved, it will cause grip If the knife is unstable, the details of the engraved pattern cannot be guaranteed.

The Lulu pattern has extremely high requirements on the precision of the pattern shape, and a slight scratch or deformation will greatly affect the performance of the entire piece of Lulu, and even scrap the base material.Nanli's talisman patterns are relatively simple, but the requirements for accuracy are no less than some large talismans.

Wu Maxi has a deep knowledge of structure, and quickly understood the shape of the Lu pattern, and began to try to carve it.

Wu Maxi used the method of holding the slanted pen, pinching the blade with three fingers obliquely, the blade fell on the stone plate, and the little lines gradually appeared deep under the knife.Accidentally slipped the blade and pulled out a thin wire at the turning point, and the base material was scrapped immediately.

Re-grind a piece of base material, engrave it to one-third of the place, and the knife at the corner is not soft enough, and a small arc is carved out of the corner, so the base material is scrapped again.

The two mistakes were due to the unstable grip of the knife.

The orthodox gripping technique with mixed fingers is extremely awkward for newcomers. Wu Maxi didn't intend to study it in depth. Now, looking at the two scrapped base materials in front of her, she stopped and thought for a while, and finally decided to learn it again. This is the basic skill.

The holding technique that Wu Maxi chooses to practice is called Shuqingsi. It is said that this technique can beautify the shape of the hand, so many girls will practice this holding technique, especially in gyms. The compulsory homework for the girls, the word counting love silk, also came from the jijiu.

The advantage of Shu Qingsi is that it is gentle with the knife and deft in turning, and it can handle some complicated and delicate structures with ease.The disadvantage is that the strength is insufficient. For some patterns with strong turning points, it is often impossible to achieve the strength of a knife, ax and chisel. Moreover, for some simple and profound patterns, it usually needs to be carved repeatedly, which takes a long time.

The reason why Wu Maxi chose this holding technique is mainly because this holding technique can be practiced while sleeping. Although it is more painful, the progress is very good.

The method of counting love threads requires the cooperation of the left and right hands. The gestures of the two hands are different, but they are also distorted and uncomfortable.During that day's sleep, Wu Maxi wrapped the two blade-sealing sleeves between her hands and five fingers, and when she opened her eyes the next day, her hands were almost completely numb.

For several hours, Wu Maxi rubbed her hands, feeling really terrified of this kind of counting method.But he doesn't have much time. In order to achieve faster learning progress, the practice must be harder than others.

Fortunately, he was determined, and after his hands relaxed a little, he immediately held the sleeve and started to practice carving with two scrapped base materials.Riding on the rune pattern leopard all the way, practicing while advancing, about two days later, Wu Maxi had initially adapted to this holding technique, and she knew Nanli's talisman pattern in her heart, so she re-polished a piece European stone disc, began to try to carve.

This time, Wu Maxi was extremely careful in carving, slowing down the speed to the point where she was almost grinding forward bit by bit.This time the carving took Wumaxi intermittently three or four days. Fortunately, there were no mistakes and the work was successfully completed.

After the last engraving, Wumaxi let out a sigh of relief, carefully put away the front cover, took out the bent gold, polished it into powder, and embedded it in the engraving. The next three steps of consecration, solidification, and quenching are not too complicated Wu Maxi handled it carefully, and after a few hours, this set of procedures was completed, and a complete and fresh Nanli talisman appeared in front of her eyes.

Because the knife technique is not strong enough, the workmanship of this Nanli lu is a bit rough.Wu Maxi input spiritual power to test it, and the firepower spewed out, the color was pure green, flaming but not dry, it was an extremely pure flame.Under the change of spiritual power, although the control of firepower and heat distribution lags behind, it is still accurate.

Judging from the test results, the production of this Nanlilu is quite successful, and its xing can be called qualified, but not most of it is due to the luxurious materials used.The materials used to make Nanli lu are all top quality, and in terms of value, they are already higher than a Nanli lu.

Wu Maxi put away the talisman, learned a little theory of artistic conception, and then began to rest.

After opening her eyes the next day, she began to prepare for the first time in her life to practice alchemy. For the first time in her life, Wu Maxi chose Qingdan.

This is a kind of elixir that is very popular in the cultivation world, the medicinal materials used are ordinary, and the refining method is not difficult.In the past few days, Wu Maxi had already read this pill formula many times, and there was already a gully in her chest, so she carefully recalled it again in her heart while she was full of energy.After confirming that it is correct, the medicine preparation will begin, and the medicinal materials that need to be used will be classified and placed in advance.

This time for alchemy, I used a small purple alchemy furnace named Zijie. It was a limited edition top-quality alchemy furnace launched by Fuyao Zhai more than ten years ago. The price at that time was [-] gold coins, and it has been rising over the years , has risen to a high price of nearly [-].

For the first time in alchemy, it is a luxury to practice with such a top-grade alchemy furnace.

Ju Hansong's Nanli talisman is specially made, using righteous beads for spirit offerings. The advantage is that it is stable and labor-saving, but the disadvantage is that it is not flexible enough, and charging the righteous beads is also a cost.Wu Maxi, on the other hand, was going to use self-infused spiritual power, put the Nanli talisman in the fire room, input spiritual power, and began to preheat the furnace with a low fire.

When the hearth is slightly warm, take [-] grams of fierce mantis blood and inject it into the alchemy chamber, and then suddenly burn it with fierce fire. At the moment when the blood of fierce mantis boils, quickly put in seven kinds of medicinal materials, such as blood leech flower, memorial festival, kudzu root, etc., and continue to use fierce fire Burn wildly, let all the medicinal materials melt in the blood of the fierce mantis, then turn the heat to mild, cook slowly, about half an hour later, wait until the essence of the medicinal materials is exhausted, and the blood of the fierce mantis turns from green to purple, and then put it into marmoset lake , Start to condense the pill with a slight fire.

All these steps were clearly explained in the pill formula, Wu Maxi followed the instructions and operated, although she was a little flustered, at least there was no accident, and the pill was successfully condensed for the first time.

Rows of small green pills, like growing out of the bottom of a furnace, are gradually getting bigger and bigger, while the blue and purple juice in the pill room is getting less and less, and finally all disappear, leaving only eight people in the pill room. More than a dozen round green pills.

Wu Maxi put away the alchemy furnace, and took a green pill for a little test. This kind of green pill can increase the cultivation efficiency by about 40.00%, which is much worse than Ju Hansong's.

Wu Maxi tidied up the place, rode on the rune leopard and continued on the road, thinking about the gains and losses of this alchemy while walking.

Eighty percent of alchemy, increase the efficiency of cultivation by 40.00%.This kind of result should be extremely good for a novice in alchemy, but this structure obviously cannot satisfy Wumaxi. He doesn't care about the number of alchemy, but what he wants is an efficiency of 60.00% or above.

The whole process of alchemy was done according to the instructions of the alchemy recipe, but there were still some shortcomings in the details.

The rhythm and interval of adding medicinal materials, the gathering and scattering of medicinal materials, the temperature and humidity before entering the furnace, and the precise control of the duration of the fire, all these details need to be improved.Maybe these are not all the problems that I have, but only when I have done all of these well can I further discover my own deficiencies.

Wu Maxi walked and thought, and quickly thought through this refinement thoroughly, and made a plan for the next refinement of Qingdan.Then he temporarily emptied his alchemy thinking, sat on the back of the rune leopard, opened the "Explanation of Artistic Conception", and began to study the principle of artistic conception.

For a realm cultivator, alchemy and inscriptions are only auxiliary, and the artistic conception is his foundation.Wu Maxi is very aware of this, no matter when and where, the study of artistic conception is the first priority.In the past few days, the greatest achievement brought to him by making lu is learning to sit on the rune leopard and study while driving.

This kind of learning seems to be distracting and dual-purpose. Not only can it not achieve the maximum learning efficiency, but it will also drop a lot of attention to the surrounding environment. In this unpredictable underground, you may encounter some unpredictable dangers.But Wu Maxi couldn't take care of them all. He started too late, and the task of studying was too heavy, so he had to race against time.

Besides, in the face of this boundless darkness, if you can't use your studies to distract your mind, the past will come to your mind, which will make you crazy.
