Chapter 20: Making alchemy for the first time

At this time, Long Xuan had no idea that he was being ridiculed. What was being ridiculed was the idea that he was most proud of.

 Seeing how stubborn the little medicine boy was, he stopped persuading him.

“You can exchange it for my Little Strong Gu, but my Little Strong Gu is no longer worth ten thousand spirit stones.”

“Let’s do this, give me ten of each type of waste elixir, and it will be considered as making up for the difference.”

The little medicine boy nodded, not to mention giving him a trivial waste elixir, now even if he was asked to dig out another hundred thousand spirit stones, he would still rush for it.

“It seems like you really don’t have the ability to turn waste elixirs into treasures, otherwise you would catch all my waste elixirs in one go, instead of just ten of each type.”

The little medicine boy smiled and picked up some of the waste elixirs, then took out a green three-legged alchemy furnace from the storage bag, threw all the waste elixirs into the alchemy furnace, and handed them to Long Xuan.

Long Xuan glanced at him sideways, and then took out a vial containing a small powerful poison from his breeding bag and threw it at the little medicine boy.

The little medicine boy happily took the vial. After checking the authenticity on the spot, he quickly started to close the stall.

 The waste elixirs nowadays are all treasures to him, and only fools sell them.

At this time, the scarred-faced man who was arguing with the little medicine boy was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that someone actually wanted this useless elixir. It's such a big world and there are all kinds of wonders. It's damning.

Just as Long Xuan was about to leave, he immediately stopped in front and said hurriedly: "My friend, stay here. I also want to trade the little powerful Gu. I am willing to trade with the elixir."

　　“I personally picked these from the mountains, you can choose whatever you want.”

 He immediately threw a storage bag at Long Xuan with a flattering smile, fearing that he would run away.

Long Xuan looked at his appearance and knew that this person must be very fond of Xiaoqiang Gu.

The body is covered in tendons and the face is covered with scars. At first glance, it seems that he likes to fight with his body. Injuries have become a common occurrence and he is often on the verge of death. So the little strong Gu will definitely become the favorite of this kind of people.

The cost of Little Strong Gu is too low, and he still has a lot of them in his breeding bag.

So he casually took the strong man's storage bag and checked it out, and found that it was full of various types of elixirs.

Coincidentally, the three elixirs he was looking for were all among them, and there were quite a lot of them. This was really hard to find, and it took no effort to get them.

Long Xuan showed joy on his face, and then poured all the elixirs in the storage bag into his own storage bag. There was not a single elixir left. Then he threw the empty storage bag towards the strong man and followed him. At the end is a vial containing a small strong poison.

 …

It was already late at night when Long Xuan came back from Fangshi. There were a lot of people who wanted to trade Little Strong Gu with him, and poor casual cultivators liked to bargain, so they wasted time.

However, the harvest was gratifying. He had exhausted his small treasury by refining the Eye of Heaven. This time, he shot a batch of small powerful Gu, and finally got a lot of blood back.

He finally figured out that the new project Ice Divine Flame was definitely a huge resource hog. If he really wanted to refine the Ice Divine Flame, the amount of materials consumed would probably be astronomical. He had to save spiritual stones as soon as possible to prepare in advance.

Although it is already late at night, the materials for refining the Hundred Flowers Pill have been prepared. Everything is ready and only the east wind is needed. Now you can try to make the pill for the first time.

He is completely excited now and his heart is itching. How can he fall asleep without practicing the elixir once?

So Long Xuan decisively took out the alchemy furnace and placed it on the ground, and began to try to make alchemy for the first time in his life.

Through continuous observation of Mr. Long, he may not be able to practice other elixirs, but he has thoroughly learned Baihua Dan.

 Hundred Flower Pill requires a hundred spirit flowers as raw materials. With such a huge amount of materials, the elixir produced is naturally extraordinary, and the potency of the medicine is definitely first-class without even thinking about it.

Long Xuan followed the method he secretly learned from Mr. Long and mobilized the dual attributes of fire and wood. Wood was at the bottom and fire was at the top, and a wisp of flame was emitted from the palm of his hand.

Becoming an alchemist must meet three requirements. First, it must have two attributes: fire and wood. Second, it must have a strong innate soul. Third, it must have precise enough control over the fire spiritual power.

These three restrictions are enough to block the vast majority of people in this world from the threshold of alchemy, and there is absolutely no one who has the qualifications of an alchemist.

 Such harsh conditions are also the reason why alchemists are extremely rare in this world, and also create their extremely noble status. Long Xuan certainly meets these requirements, and goes far beyond them.

His cultivation qualifications are extremely poor, but his alchemy qualifications are definitely considered a genius.

 When God closes a door, he often opens a window for you.

Long Xuan's current soul is of course not strong enough to hold up the alchemy furnace, so he can only slowly place the alchemy furnace on the ground.

 Then he controlled the flame in his palm to fly up, and under the control of his soul power, it landed at the bottom of the alchemy furnace and began to warm up.

 The first step in making alchemy is to use high temperature to remove impurities from the elixir, extracting its essence and discarding its dross.

Most of the substances in the elixir are useless, requiring the alchemist to have extremely high control over the flame to burn away the impurities while leaving only the essence of the elixir.

It is extremely difficult to achieve this step. If the temperature is low, the impurities will liquefy and completely merge with the essence. If the temperature is high, the impurities and essence will be burned together. It is even more difficult to burn the impurities without burning the essence.

What’s even more exaggerated is that even if different elixirs require different temperatures, there will be slight differences in the same elixir. The same elixir also needs to constantly change the temperature in different time periods. This is simply fun. .

This first step alone stumps most alchemists, and there are very few people who can complete this step.

Even experienced Elder Long would often burn the elixir when refining it, wasting a precious elixir.

 Therefore, Long Xuan was deeply aware of the difficulty of this step, and decided to be careful and cautious, focusing all his attention without any slack.

 After he adjusted his condition, he saw that the alchemy furnace was already warm, so he casually picked up an elixir and threw it into the alchemy furnace.

However, just as he was about to turn up the heat, something shocking happened to him.

 The elixir furnace actually shows the purification progress, which is 0% at this time.

Long Xuan took a deep breath, a little unbelievable.

It was only then that he thought that a similar situation had occurred when he was refining Gu for the first time.

 The progress shown by the golden finger seems to be not only limited to dead and living things, but also includes something that is being done.

For example, if you are refining Gu, then the progress of refining Gu will be displayed. If you are purifying elixir, then the progress of refining elixir will also be displayed. Including the last step of alchemy refining later, the progress of alchemy will also be displayed.

As a result, the upper limit of the golden finger will be raised again, and Long Xuan is extremely excited.

Hence, the purification step that is extremely difficult to complete in the eyes of others has changed in Long Xuan's case.

 He can clearly see the progress of the purification. If the progress is rising steadily, it proves that his operation is correct and he can just work hard to maintain it.

Once the progress suddenly changes drastically or even disappears, it proves that his operation is wrong and the heat must be adjusted as soon as possible.

Since there is an error message, isn’t it easy for Long Xuan to purify the elixir?

 The next development of things happened without any surprises.

 Things that may seem extremely difficult to others are extremely simple in Long Xuan's eyes.

He was a novice who refined elixir for the first time. Not only did he make no mistakes, but he succeeded easily. Can you believe this?

If other alchemy apprentices knew about it, I'm afraid they wouldn't know how they would feel.

Looking at the elixir essence that he put into the medicine bottle, Long Xuan was in a daze, as if he was dreaming.

That's it?
