Chapter 8 Alchemy


Alchemy is a technical job.

Why do some people with the same elixir recipe and the same medicinal materials have a very high probability of success and can make many 100% elixirs every time, while some people fail repeatedly and even explode?

In the final analysis, there are only three factors that determine the success or failure of alchemy: one is the dosage, the second is the alchemy furnace, and the third is the technique.

The dosage of medicinal materials seems easy to control, but the active ingredients in different medicinal materials from different origins are very different.

Even the same elixir has different active ingredients depending on the year, climate, place of origin, and growth.

All the same.

Ordinary alchemists can only rely on the stupidest methods of seeing, smelling, and tasting to know the dosage.

Through countless experiences, they can estimate the approximate content of the active ingredients in the elixir, but after all, this can only be a rough calculation. , the accuracy will not be too high.

And having a good alchemy furnace can get twice the result with half the effort.

A poor-quality alchemy furnace can sometimes destroy a whole furnace of elixirs.

This is something everyone knows.

However, good alchemy furnaces are not often available and the price is very expensive.

This is not the case for ordinary people.

What can be afforded.

Technique is also a very important factor.

Although there are detailed records in the recipe about when to put the medicine, when to use strong fire, and when to use slow fire, if the temperature control is just a little worse, the quality of the finished product will be greatly affected.

Difference, this is the biggest difference between alchemy masters and ordinary people.

In pursuit of temperature control, some alchemists even search for exotic flames all over the world, such as spiritual fire and nine-flavored true fire.

They have completely gone astray.

Although Qin Ming is just a beginner in alchemy, he has the Star Spirit, which can accurately measure the content of active ingredients down to milligrams, and the Mana Hong Furnace, a top-notch alchemy furnace that can accurately control the firepower.

All it takes is Practice makes perfect.

"So that's it.

The prescription of this Ning Yuan Dan is not complicated, and it relies more on experience and techniques.

No wonder many people use Ning Yuan Dan as a test to test the level of alchemists."

Qin Ming first took a look at the elixir recipe, and after keeping it in mind, he immediately scanned one of the medicinal materials with the Astral Key.

"Commander, scanning is in progress" With the intelligence of the Star Spirit, he completed the task quickly and calculated it based on the previous Ning Yuan Dan.

He helped Qin Ming weigh the medicinal materials and classify them together.

"Star Spirit, preheat the mana furnace to 1,400 degrees."

Qin Ming took a deep breath and began to warm up the magic furnace, preparing to start his first alchemy.

Theoretically, Qin Ming thinks there should be no problem, but in the end it is still unknown how effective it will be and how many ten-percent pills can be refined.

Success or failure can only be known by looking at the final result.

I saw the ion flame of the mana oven spraying in a sheet shape, evenly preheating the furnace wall to the specified temperature.

Then, Qin Ming started to put the medicinal materials into it one by one according to the prescription.

These medicinal materials have been weighed and put away by Xingling after accurate calculation of the active ingredients.

Qin Ming picked up one and threw it away, without the need to taste it at all.

After these medicinal materials were put into the mana oven, they were quickly refined into juice or powder by the ion flame inside, and were quietly suspended in the middle of the mana oven, forming drops of pale golden liquid.

Various data such as the melting point of the medicinal materials and the heating time are continuously recorded into the battleship's main computer through the mana oven's sensors.

These are precious data.

As long as a database is established and with the precise control of the mana oven, mass production is not a dream.

"Cinnabar and red-grained grass mica" Qin Ming put in the medicinal materials one by one with a serious expression on his face.

The elixir recipe records in detail the timing and order of putting the medicines into the furnace.

Once this is wrong, the effect will be much worse.

Under Qin Ming's operation, soon, all the twenty-one medicinal materials on the elixir recipe were put in one after another. .

Qin Ming's face was solemn, and he took out another red sun stone.

According to the record on the elixir prescription, he used the magic formula with both hands to drive a stream of true energy into the red sun stone, and then also put it into the alchemy furnace.

After the red sunstone was put into the mana oven, it was immediately refined into juice by the high-temperature ion flame, and turned into a red mist, which was evenly sprinkled on the medicinal materials in the mana oven.

This red sun stone is very famous, and is called the furnace stone.

It is one of the methods of alchemy.

The other method is more traditional, which is to directly enter the magic formula into the alchemy furnace.

Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. , which caused a lot of quarrels among alchemists.

Although Qin Ming prefers the traditional method, his mana furnace is far away in the Titan Star Realm Fortress and there is no way to break into the magic formula, so he uses the Hearthstone flow method.

Under the influence of this red light, these medicinal materials immediately underwent earth-shaking changes.

This red mist combined with the medicinal power of the medicinal materials being refined in the elixir furnace immediately underwent wonderful changes, gradually turning into individual elixirs.

The prototype of medicine.

"Warning: The pressure in the mana oven is constantly rising, ten atmospheres, twenty atmospheres, fifty atmospheres."

The star spirit immediately reminded them, and the entire mana oven began to tremble slightly, obviously bearing an extremely huge force.

However, Qin Ming is not afraid of encountering the most terrifying explosion.

The furnace wall of the mana furnace is made of super alloy.

It is extremely strong and can withstand far more than fifty standard atmospheres.

Unless it encounters an extremely violent explosion, power, otherwise it would not be damaged at all.

"Ready to open the stove" Qin Ming took a deep breath, and a solemn look appeared on his face.

Opening the furnace was the last step, and the success or failure of the alchemy depended on this moment.

The lid of the mana oven slowly opened, and the high-temperature air flow burst out, making a banging sound.

"It's now" Ten round, pale golden pills also flew out.

Qin Ming teleported these ten pills directly through the dimension and grabbed them in his hand.

"This medicine is 90% effective, this medicine is also 90% effective, and this one is worse, only 80%."

Qin Ming spread his palms and carefully observed these pills, only to find that only one of the ten pills was a ten-percent pill, and the remaining eight could only be classified into the category of Huayuan Pill.

As for the The potency of the last elixir is less than 50%.

The efficacy of this elixir is patchy and impure.

It will do more harm than good if taken.

It can only be regarded as a useless elixir.

One Yuan-Condensing Pill costs 300 Red Sunstones, plus eight Huayuan Dans worth fifty Red Sunstones, which is equivalent to Qin Ming’s furnace of medicinal materials worth 1,000 Red Sunstones only earning 700 Red Sunstones.

Yangshi's elixir.

Lost money Although, for ordinary people, it is considered good to earn back about 70% of the cost if the first alchemy does not explode, but for Qin Ming, this is already a complete failure.

But Qin Ming's face didn't show much frustration.

Instead, he laughed happily.

"I see, the refining temperature of the red-striped grass is a little higher, and the red sun stone should be put in a little later."

By analyzing the Star Spirit's database and calculating the final elixir, Qin Ming quickly discovered the crux of the problem.

After summarizing his experience, he restarted the elixir refining process and made some fine adjustments to the elixir refining process.

This time, when Qin Ming put in the main ingredient of red streak grass, he slightly lowered the temperature, and then appropriately delayed the time of putting in red sunstone, and finally it was the most critical moment to start the furnace.

Bang As the mana oven opened the door, ten golden, round pills suddenly spurted out, and Qin Ming grabbed them in his hand.

As soon as Qin Ming opened his palm, he saw that these pills seemed to be covered with a layer of flames, swaying like candles, bright and dazzling.

In fact, the flame on the elixir has vaguely taken on the shape of a human, dancing happily, as if it has its own life and is coming to life.

"It's actually a vision of the elixir forming with the candle shadow shaking red" A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Qin Ming's face and he said.

It is not easy for the phenomenon of elixirs to appear.

Only when the furnace is opened, the elixirs are in perfect condition, and all the elixirs are 100% elixirs, will the phenomenon of elixirs appear.

Although the candle shadow shaking red is the most common alchemy phenomenon, no matter which alchemist it is, as long as it can produce an elixir that can produce the elixir phenomenon, it will be the target of competition among major trading houses.

Although it is said that the higher the level of an alchemist, the more powerful it is, but this is not absolute, because if a low-level alchemist can specialize in one discipline, the chance of having an alchemy phenomenon is sometimes better than that of a high-level alchemist.

The biggest advantage of high-level alchemists is that they can refine high-level elixirs.

The success rate is higher than that of low-level alchemists.

However, for trading companies, the most important thing they value is the cost.

You may not see much from refining the elixir once or twice, but the salary and material costs saved by refining it ten, a hundred, or a thousand times are far more cost-effective than hiring a high-quality alchemist.

After a long while, the flame of the elixir finally burned out, and the vision of the elixir with the candle shadow shaking red gradually faded away.

Qin Ming let out a long sigh, pressed the black crystal at the door, and summoned the steward again.

"Excuse me, here are three more medicinal materials."

Qin Ming's voice was calm, without much joy.

After saying that, Qin Ming took out ten Yuan Ning Dan and handed them to the steward.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The steward looked at his words and felt that Qin Ming seemed to have failed in refining the elixir.

Unconvinced, he wanted to burn money again.

But it had nothing to do with him.

As long as Qin Ming bought the medicinal materials, he would get a commission, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After answering, he took back two more medicinal materials and resigned sensibly.

Qin Ming saw what he was thinking, but he wanted to keep a low profile, so he didn't say anything.

He started refining two more furnaces of Yuan Ning Dan.

This time he had a more detailed database, and there were no errors in the three furnaces of Yuan Ning Dan. , the furnace was opened three times, all of which were 100% elixir, and the elixir was refined into a vision of candle shadow shaking red.

"Thirty Yuan Condensing Pills should be enough."

Qin Ming breathed a long sigh of relief, stood up, and walked out of Bingxin Tower.

If you buy medicinal materials here again, I'm afraid it will arouse other people's ideas.

Even the alchemy master in Zhoutian Xing Palace cannot guarantee that the candle shadow will shake red four times in a row.

The chance of success is too scary.

He didn't want to shock the world, so he went to another medicine shop and exchanged thirty Yuan Ning Dan for nine portions of medicinal materials.

Qin Ming still refined the Yuan Condensing Pill according to the previous procedure.

This time, there were nine candle shadows shaking red in succession.

Each time the nine medicinal materials were produced, there were ten Yuan Condensing Pills.

If this spread, , I don’t know how many alchemists were scared to death.

But in Qin Ming's mind, he doesn't think this is anything.

He just regards this as assembly line production.

No matter how powerful it is, it is just the collective wisdom of designing the Titan Star Realm Fortress.

As long as there is precise quality control, it is not very difficult to produce Ning Yuan Dan on the assembly line.

After the alchemy was completed, Qin Ming was about to leave the quiet room and replace the Ning Yuan Dan with more medicinal materials when he suddenly heard a faint sound of arguing coming from the door.
