I have a magical tree

Xu Dao is not the kind of spendthrift. Even if he gets these herbs for free, he still feels bad.

In the Shangyi Bureau, taking and using them as you like is not really unlimited. If it is true, the Shangyi Bureau will go bankrupt in a few days. Alchemists can lose herbs due to failure in refining, but the herbs of the same elixir can only be taken for free five times a year. After five failures, the remaining herbs can still be taken, but each failure must be supplemented by their own money.

In addition, alchemists can only apply for higher-grade elixir herbs at most.

For example, Xu Dao is now a second-grade alchemist, so he can only apply for herbs for refining third-grade elixir at most. And he cannot go to the level to apply for fourth-grade precious elixir herbs.

Similarly, if you are a second-grade alchemist, you can only receive five third-grade herbs for free every year. If you succeed, you will naturally become a third-grade alchemist and can continue to use herbs in the future.

If you fail five times, then this level of medicinal materials can only be temporarily closed to you, or you have to pay for it yourself.

How could the makers of the above rules leave too obvious loopholes?

This regulation can greatly increase the utilization rate of medicinal materials and reduce waste.

If your medicine refining level is sufficient and you fail within five times a year, you can use medicinal materials without restrictions.

If it exceeds five times, you don’t have to pay for all the medicinal materials, but you have to pay for the materials wasted by your failed refining.

It can be said that this restriction is actually very good. For people who are really capable, there is not much difference between having this restriction and not having it.

For newcomers to refining medicine, you can get five free refining opportunities, and five times for each kind of elixir. It is also extremely precious. If you are asked to collect medicinal materials by yourself, it will cost both energy and a huge amount of money.

Therefore, even Xu Dao did not dare to waste medicinal materials at will. He took two portions of medicinal materials and put them together, and then started to refine them again.

Mao Chun on the side widened her eyes and wanted to ask, but immediately remembered what she had said when she begged Xu Dao before, just watch and listen without speaking, so she shut up immediately.

People should have dreams, but at the same time they must also abide by their duties.

Mao Chun could easily guess Xu Dao's thoughts and thoughts. In fact, anyone who is not stupid can guess it. This is because he dislikes one material at a time, and the speed is too slow.

So he wanted to use this trick to increase the speed and refine two or even several portions at a time. It is equivalent to turning several furnaces of pills into one furnace of pills.

But is it really that simple?

If it is really simple, how can this method not be used? Since ancient times, all alchemists are geniuses, even if not all of them, as long as there is a smart person. It is impossible not to discover this method, but why is it not spread now?

No other, just failed!

This method seems to only add one more medicinal material, but in fact it increases the requirements for the control of the amount of medicinal properties and increases the difficulty of the fusion of medicinal properties. With more medicinal materials, the flame must also change accordingly. How can boiling a ladle of water be the same as boiling a pot of water?

Therefore, the increase in materials also means an increase in difficulty.

At the beginning, Xu Daofu felt the difference between the two. With the increase in medicinal materials, the nature of the medicinal properties became more obvious, more violent and difficult to control, and the requirements for the flame temperature also rose accordingly.

But for Xu Dao, although these were somewhat difficult, they were not impossible to complete. So except for a little twists and turns at the beginning, it became smooth as he adjusted.

His powerful spiritual power made him adjust, precipitate, and fuse the medicinal properties like a butcher cutting an ox and observing the lines in his palm. In addition, he had the magic power to mediate and suppress, making the whole process extremely smooth.

The liquid was separated and the pill was condensed in one go.

Mao Chun and Mao Xia, who were standing by, saw Xu Dao finish his work, and immediately stepped forward to pull up the furnace cover and scoop up the pill in the furnace with a copper spoon.

Twenty-three pills were made, and each one was of top quality.

The two looked at each other, both in shock. It actually worked? Just like that?

How high is the attainment of this Lord Xu in refining medicine? How terrible is his talent?

And as bystanders, they can easily find that this is actually the first time Xu Dao tried to do this. Otherwise, he would not have temporarily changed the three portions of medicinal materials to two portions when taking the medicine. Obviously, Lord Xu did not know whether it would succeed in advance.

The two were still in shock. Xu Dao took the pill to check and found that it was slightly affected. It should be caused by some unfamiliarity for the first time. It should be much better later.

He naturally could not be satisfied with only combining two portions of medicinal materials into one, and had to continue trying.

This time Xu Dao took three portions of medicinal materials. He was a cautious person. After this success, he would decide whether to continue adding according to the difficulty of the refining process and the refining results. Step by step, don't be greedy.

Mao Chun and Mao Xia were stunned on the side. Three portions! Will it succeed this time? Although they all thought Xu Dao was probably crazy, they also hoped that he could succeed.

If he could succeed, it would mean that the previous furnace was not accidental, and that the Shangguan they followed was really extraordinary.

After the first and second times, Xu Dao felt very relaxed. Although the number of medicinal materials increased, it was not too outrageous.

When the third furnace of pills came out, Mao Chun and Mao Xia immediately lifted the furnace cover and took out the pills.

Thirty-three pills were made, and each one was of high quality.

Mao Chun's hands were already shaking. Even Mao Xia, who was not really interested in refining medicine, was inexplicably excited at this time.

He knew that they had witnessed history today!

Xu Dao looked at the remaining materials of the first-grade Zhuangxue Pill, which was exactly four portions.

Let's try it while it feels good now!

So the fourth furnace of pills began.

The two people next to him were all nervous, but Xu Dao was more relaxed and casual.

This was indeed the case. Although he didn't want to waste the medicinal materials for no reason, if he really failed, it didn't matter!

This time Xu Dao clearly felt the difficulty. The four portions of medicinal materials, the number of individual plants added up to more than 30, each medicinal material became four times, and its medicinal properties also became four times. This difficulty can be imagined.

Not long after, even Xu Dao's forehead began to sweat!

Mao Chun was sharp-eyed and immediately reached out from his arms to take out a handkerchief to wipe Xu Dao's sweat.

After half an hour, as Xu Dao separated the liquid and condensed the pill, the refining was finally completed.

Xu Dao breathed a sigh of relief. The difficulty this time was more than doubled compared to the three portions just now! It was really difficult to control. The medicinal properties of various medicinal materials were like wild horses that were unbridled. They were difficult to tame, which brought him great pressure.

It is still best to refine three portions at the same time, which consumes much less energy than four portions.

Perhaps when his strength is higher and his soul power is stronger, he can easily control four portions, or even five or six portions, but for now, three portions are still the most cost-effective.
