Chapter 253 The Unexpected Harvest of Alchemy

It seems that I am still very talented in refining medicine!

Chen Dong found that the process of refining medicine is not very difficult. The main reason is that it takes mental power to control the refining furnace. Even refining a furnace with his own mental strength will feel a little exhausting. If he refines without sleep, no one will suffer. Got it.

It seems that the dream of refining a large amount of pharmaceuticals will not be realized in a short time.

Then Chen Dong began to study the materials for preparing the second potion.

【初级力量药剂：兽骨10/10、烈阳草2/2、植物根茎1/1、灵魂之火1/1（黑暗之息1/1）、动物血液1/1、变异息肉1/1、坚韧兽牙1/1、树脂2/2、硫磺1/1】

Compared with spirit potions, elementary strength potions have much lower material requirements.

Although there are more types of materials required, at least the main material animal bone is not as difficult to find as mandala, and mandala also has a year requirement.

The most important thing is that when refining the spiritual potion, you need to add the petals of Datura to squeeze the juice, and the branches and leaves have to be mashed into mud.

This means only fresh datura can be used.

Generally speaking, after a plant like datura is picked, it will wither in a very short period of time.

So unless you grow it yourself, it is difficult to buy fresh Datura in the trading market.

However, there are not so many requirements for refining the dosage of elementary strength potions, but the operation is more time-consuming.

After Chen Dong prepared all the materials, he familiarized himself with the refining process and steps again.

At this time, after waiting patiently for an hour, Chen Dong's first potion of spiritual potion was finally refined.

[Reminder: The refining of primary spirit potion is completed]

[Obtain: Elementary Spirit Potion +10]

[Hint: Mental Power +10]

Huh?
Chen Dong looked at the system prompt in front of him with some surprise, and it was no problem to get 10 bottles of spiritual medicine.

But why would my spiritual power increase by 10 points inexplicably?
Could it be said that refining medicine itself will also increase mental power?
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Dong also felt that this possibility was extremely high, because in the process of refining medicine, apart from the consumption of materials, the most consumed thing was mental power.

Chen Dong needs to constantly use mental power to process materials, stabilize reactions, and control the refining furnace
Refining a pot of medicine with his 4-figure mental power still feels a bit exhausting, so the process of refining medicine is equivalent to an exercise of mental power.

It seems that even some side hustles can have great benefits.

Thinking of this, Chengdu's eyes suddenly lit up!
Since refining medicine can improve one's mental strength, will blacksmithing improve one's own strength?
It's entirely possible!
Originally, Chen Dong felt that after obtaining the weapon production line, the so-called functions of forging and making weapons were not of much use.

Because at present, for Chengdu, the lethality of ordinary weapons produced is too low, and it is completely useless for itself.

If you build weapons and sell them to survivors, it's a waste of time, and the benefits you earn are not worth it at all.

But now it seems that it is necessary to experiment, whether forging weapons will improve their strength attributes!
And what Chen Dong didn't expect was that the refining process, which originally took three hours, was now completed in just one hour.

The reason why it was two hours earlier than the expected time was because Chen Dong's medicine refining room itself had a strengthening effect, which could shorten the medicine refining time.

In addition, his refining furnace has been strengthened twice at this time, it seems that the two furniture strengthening scrolls are not in vain!
Chen Dong looked happily at the spiritual potion in front of him that shone with a light blue luster, and it looked no different from the spiritual potion he usually took.

It seems that the batch of medicine newly refined by Uncle Dong is of high purity!
In this way, even if it is put on the market, it is not afraid of poor quality control.

Chen Dong couldn't wait to click to view the details.

[Elementary spiritual potion: the work of a novice alchemist. After use, it can slightly increase mental power, currently it can increase mental power by +5]

Although it's only a 5-point increase, it doesn't seem like much, but this thing can produce 10 bottles an hour.

In other words, one hour can increase mental power by 50 points!

If Chen Dong didn't do anything, but kept refining the spirit potion, he would be able to increase the spirit power attribute by hundreds of points in a day.

You must know that when Chen Dong himself is wearing the spirit ring, his spirit attributes are only more than 1000 points.

One can imagine how terrifying such an increase would be?
However, it is also impossible for Chen Dong to completely transform himself into a pure alchemist, who does not do anything every day, does not go out to explore, and refines medicine without sleep.

On the one hand, it was because this kind of refining process was too mentally exhausting, and it was difficult for him to hold on.

On the other hand, it was because it was too time-consuming to do so, and Chen Dong would have no time to go out on adventures, fight monsters, eat barbecue, and applaud for love.

What's more, in addition to the spiritual medicine, other medicines also need to be refined, even if they are not sold, it is good to take it by yourself.

For example, strength potions and life potions need to be refined in batches to improve Bai Xueling's basic attributes.

There is also a batch of elementary aphrodisiacs that need to be refined depending on the situation!

Because a friend of Chen Dong felt that it was very necessary.
Now that the spirit potion has been refined, Chen Dong decided to hurry up and start refining the strength potion.

The refining process of the strength potion is also very complicated. First, the animal bones must be ground into powder, and then the dust should be baked at high temperature.

The roasted dust is added to the animal blood and stirred into a semi-fluid state.

Then the resin is melted at high temperature into a jelly.

Then burn the sungrass into ashes, and mix the ashes of the sungrass with sulfur into the jelly.

Then grind the tough animal teeth into powder, put them into the crushed mutated polyps, add the previous semi-liquid, and then bury the plant roots in it to start low-temperature fermentation.

The fermentation process continues until the roots of the plants have completely rotted away.

At this time, the semi-fluid completely turned into a fluid-like object, and began to emit a strong pungent smell, and at this time, a jelly mixed with Lieyang grass ash and sulfur was added to it at the same time.

This process requires the use of mental power to control the reaction of the two substances, while injecting soul fire or dark breath to stabilize it.

The two substances merged together, emitting a strange red smoke.

Long-term inhalation of this kind of smoke has non-negligible harm to the human body. Fortunately, Chen Dong has a gas mask in his hand.

Otherwise, at this point, the pharmacist can only bear it by himself.

Then put the mixture of these two substances that have completed the reaction into the refining furnace to start the final refining stage.

This process also lasted for three hours, and it was necessary to control the refining furnace with mental power. According to the records of refining medicine, the temperature and operating power of the refining furnace were constantly changed.
