I am doing meritorious deeds in Liaozhai

Chapter 255 Eight Diagrams Furnace

[Qiankun Bagua Furnace: Low-level magic weapon (can be upgraded), which can be used to forge low-level magic weapons and refine low-level elixirs. It has three forms: large, medium and small. It can slightly increase the success rate of weapon refining and elixir refining, and effectively prevent the furnace from exploding.It costs 6 merit points. 】

The Jade Seal Space was still as considerate as ever. As soon as Song Yushan was about to learn alchemy and weapon refining, a magic weapon furnace appeared for both alchemy and weapon refining.

Maybe it was because one had the same functions as the other, but the price was twice as expensive as the low-level magic weapon she had replaced before.

However, these six points of merit are nothing to Song Yushan now.

She exchanged it without hesitation and put it in the Qiankun bag first.

Then she opened the two magic books in her hand and began to learn the techniques and seals of fire control and wood splitting.

A month later, the fire control and wood splitting techniques were introduced.

It is now possible to control the intensity and temperature of mortal fire to a small extent, and to analyze the structure of first-grade spiritual grass and elixir.

It took another five months to learn almost the theoretical part of the first-grade alchemy master's inheritance.

The theoretical part of the alchemy master's inheritance is less than that of the formation master, but more than the talisman master's inheritance.

In the past five months, Song Yushan spent half of the time memorizing classics on elixirs and prescriptions for low-level elixirs.

Only at this time can we make a preliminary attempt at alchemy.

Song Yushan sold all the formation disks he had refined during this period to the Immortal Master Academy, and exchanged them for a Qiankun bag of Qi Gathering Pill, Peiyuan Pill, and Bigu Pill elixirs.

After saying something to Senior Sister and Uncle Jin, he went back to Qichi Courtyard for seclusion.

Refining alchemy carries the risk of furnace explosion. If the Qiankun Bagua furnace could not suppress the explosion and ensure the safety of alchemy, Song Yushan would not dare to try it in his own yard.

The Qiankun Bagua furnace has three forms: large, medium and small. The smallest form is only about the size of a palm and is easy to carry.

The medium-sized form is about the same size as a cooking cauldron and is used for refining in small quantities.

The largest form, taller than her people, is used for refining in large quantities.

When Song Yushan just started learning, he definitely couldn't control the large-scale refining, so he turned the Qiankun Bagua Furnace into a medium form.

Prepare a copy of the elixir of Qi Gathering Pill, observe it with wood analysis, and then break it down and cut it according to its structure. Different parts have different treatment methods.

Then put a small pile of firewood under the Qiankun Bagua stove and light it with a ignition charm.

Using fire control techniques to control the size and temperature of the flame, Song Yushan still felt a little disillusioned when he started to heat the stove.

Firewood is actually used to make elixirs!
The feeling of using the fire control technique to control fire is not much different from the feeling of lighting Uncle Jin's fire. It is really down-to-earth.

After the temperature of the furnace was about the same, Song Yushan put in the elixirs one by one according to the instructions in the inheritance, and performed preliminary treatment to remove impurities.

Flame temperature does not have an accurate unit of measurement or even a test method like in previous generations.

Determining whether the temperature is not up to standard depends entirely on observing the state of the elixir.

Some elixirs need to be burned into powder, some elixirs need to be extracted into liquid, and some need to be made into paste.

It must be meticulous, no matter how precise it is, a small deviation may cause the entire elixir to be scrapped.

The processed elixir must be maintained at a suitable temperature and separated by infuriating energy before processing the next elixir.

After all the elixirs have been initially processed, use a certain method to drive them to fuse.

Song Yushan's first failure in alchemy was at the fusion stage.

Fortunately, the alchemy furnace was good enough to withstand the power of the furnace explosion. She was able to calmly observe the reaction of the elixir, analyze her own problem, and try again.

When you can't find a problem, use your merits to improve your understanding. Anyway, you are always making progress little by little.

The refining process of low-level elixirs is not complicated. Once you are familiar with the theory and basic alchemy techniques, there are basically no problems.In ten days, she made the first batch of Qi Gathering Pills.

In one month, the success rate of Qi Gathering Pills has been stabilized at [-]%, but the quality is not high. Only one middle-grade pill can be produced in one furnace, and the rest are low-grade pills.

The success rate of alchemy is the same as that of making talismans, both related to talent.

However, refining elixirs has one more standard than making talismans, which is the quality of the elixir.

Improving the quality of elixirs is more difficult than increasing the success rate of elixir refining.

It takes not only talent, but also practice over time.

Song Yushan's talent in alchemy is obviously not as good as making talismans, but fortunately, these can be supplemented by understanding.

In the final analysis, talent is just the acceptance efficiency of a certain aspect of technical ability.

Except for divination and other mysteries, talents that I don’t know where to learn, all talents that require learning to master can be supplemented by understanding.

As long as he was willing to put in merit, Song Yushan could learn alchemy well even if his talent was not good.

Therefore, Song Yushan did not feel discouraged because the quality of the alchemy was not high.

The Qi Gathering Pill and the Spirit Gathering Array have similar effects and can increase the speed of cultivation.

However, the Spirit Gathering Array is an auxiliary practice, increasing the efficiency of spiritual energy attraction during practice, while the Spirit Gathering Pill directly provides non-attributed spiritual energy for the monks to absorb.

The latter is similar to ectoplasm in use and has a wider range of uses.

But as long as it is an elixir, there will be impurities, but some elixirs have impurities that are easy to remove and have little impact, while some elixirs have impurities that are not easy to remove and have a big impact.

The remaining impurities in elixirs such as Qi Gathering Pills, which are helpful for cultivation, are not easy to dissolve, so they should not be taken too frequently.

There are a lot of impurities in low-grade Qi Gathering Pills. It will take a year to completely eliminate the impurities after eating one pill.

Impurities in the body will affect the speed of one's own cultivation.

For monks with good talents and pursuits, low-quality Qi Gathering Pills have low cost performance and serious side effects, which is better than nothing.

The monks who are not talented enough and whose cultivation speed is not fast are definitely not strong either, and most of them are reluctant to spend a lot of money to buy Qi Gathering Pills to practice.

After all, low-grade Qi Gathering Pills just have a lot of impurities, which does not mean they are cheap.

The impurities of a middle-grade Qi Gathering Pill are much less, and it takes three months to digest one pill. The remaining impurities in a middle-grade Qi Gathering Pill will not affect daily practice.

There is quite a market among monks.

The highest quality top-grade Qi Gathering Pill has fewer impurities. It only takes a month to digest one pill. The impurities contained in one pill will not affect daily practice at all. It is a high-quality cultivation resource.

However, monsters' cultivation methods are different from those of monks, and their digestion capabilities are stronger. They can eat elixirs raw, so there is no need to worry about these. Low-grade Qi Gathering Pills are more cost-effective for them.

These elixirs are just right to be sold in the Treasure Pavilion of the Ghost Market. Low-grade monsters like them and mid-grade monks need them.

This is also the reason why Song Yushan chose to learn the Qi Gathering Pill first.

It's already August, less than a month before Monster Academy starts. I heard from Uncle Jin that the ghost market has been a lot more lively recently.

After being in seclusion for so long, it was time to go take a look.

Song Yushan put away the Qiankun Bagua furnace, took a good bath, and changed clothes.
After learning alchemy for several months, she always used cleaning techniques to solve cleaning problems.

Although the cleaning effect of the cleaning technique was good enough, Song Yushan still felt like he had been smelled by firewood, and it was not as comfortable as soaking in hot water.
