Beast Blood Rush

Chapter 49 The Purity of Medicinal Pills

No matter what kind of elixir, even the lowest level elixir, all the ingredients must be melted at the same time.Otherwise, once the melted medicinal materials are put aside and cannot be mixed with other medicinal materials in time, a large number of impurities will be born immediately.The purpose of refining medicinal materials is to remove impurities.If after refining, there are a lot of impurities, it is purely busy work.

Therefore, any alchemist must be able to refine at least five kinds of medicinal materials at the same time.This is the most basic requirement that a beast soul can fulfill.However, it is very difficult for a beast soul to simultaneously control five fire attribute qi with different functions.It is still not easy for ordinary practitioners who are just getting started.

Why do the alchemy halls of Qiu Risi and Xia's family give some medicinal materials and prescriptions, so that practitioners can go back and practice by themselves?I just want to see how understanding these cultivators are.Let's see if they can skillfully control five fire-attribute zhenqi with different functions.

If they can do it, they will have the possibility to become alchemists.If you can't do it, then I'm sorry, the door of alchemy is always open to you.It's just that you may never have the chance to come in.Unless, you suddenly made great progress.

Most practitioners, in order to pass the examination smoothly, will go to consult experienced people after getting the medicinal materials and prescriptions, so as to make their elixir samples as perfect as possible.Zhang Ling has no relatives, so of course it is impossible to ask other people for advice.In fact, he has no desire to ask others for advice.He is used to being self-reliant and well-fed.

It must be known that he has a full ten beast souls, and it is extremely easy to process five kinds of medicinal materials at the same time.He can do what it is difficult for others to do.Even without anyone's guidance, it is not difficult to melt five kinds of medicinal materials at the same time.Anyway, there are a total of five medicinal materials for Qiu Risi, and he doesn't worry about consuming them.

"Red dates..."

"Shanlihong..."

"Bago..."

"Pentagonal lotus leaf..."

"Hell Lingzhi..."

Sure enough, with the help of his powerful qi, Zhang Ling gradually melted the five herbs.

The juices of these five kinds of medicinal materials flowed down the crystal tube into the alchemy furnace one after another, and slowly gathered together.

After the medicinal materials are melted, it is necessary to remove as much impurities as possible.This step is very particular.How much the final purity of the elixir can go is very critical in this link.

Why is it required that the wood attribute index must reach four or three stars when recruiting alchemist apprentices?The main purpose is to be able to remove the impurities in the medicinal materials.Infuriating wood attribute is the most effective in expeling impurities.Metal, wood, earth, water and fire, judging from the cycle of the five elements restraining each other, wood restrains earth.The impurities in the medicinal materials are mainly of earth attribute.

Basically, the stronger the zhenqi of the wood attribute, the more impurities in the medicinal materials can be removed.Therefore, many brilliant alchemists have a relatively high wood attribute qi index.As a result, among the alchemists, whether the wood attribute index can surpass five stars has become an obvious watershed.Those with more than five stars can generally become master-level alchemists.Those who don't exceed five stars probably won't be qualified to become master-level alchemists in this life.

It seems that in the alchemy hall of the Xia family, no one has a wood attribute index that exceeds five stars.The wood attribute indexes of Xia Yue'e and Xia Chendong's beast souls are only four stars.Otherwise, Xia Yue'e would have become a master alchemist long ago.Nor would he waste so much of his life at the level of a high-level alchemist.

However, it is not enough just to have wood attribute zhenqi.

Impurities in medicinal materials are ever-changing. If there is only one type of zhenqi, it will definitely not be able to get rid of them all.

After all, most of the impurities in medicinal materials cannot be of the soil type only.Therefore, it is impossible to remove all the impurities by simply using the wood attribute true energy.It must be combined with other attributes of zhenqi to keep the medicinal materials as pure as possible.The question is, how can ordinary cultivators have so many attributes of zhenqi to use?
The only exception is probably a weirdo like Zhang Ling.His beast soul possesses all thirteen attributes of zhenqi, and all of them are large enough to be squandered unscrupulously.Therefore, he has absolutely no difficulty in expelling impurities.As long as it is an impurity discovered by him, it is impossible to escape his poisonous hands.No matter what kind of impurity it is, he can always find the corresponding true energy to kill the opponent.

Sure enough, Zhang Ling repeatedly used thirteen different kinds of qi to wash away the impurities of the medicinal materials, and the effect was quite good.Basically, as long as the impurities he could find were all removed.As for those things that he couldn't see, smell, or feel, he couldn't do anything for the time being.That requires the precipitation of experience.

After the impurities in the medicinal materials have been carefully cleaned up, it is the fusion pill.

The key to fusing the elixirs is not to condense the elixirs together, but to remove all the excess impurities.

It turns out that when the medicinal materials were cleaned up, individual medicinal materials were removed one by one.Generally speaking, most of the impurities of individual medicinal materials will be removed.However, when different medicinal materials are fused together, a large amount of impurities will be produced.

If we use the terminology of the earth to explain, the fusion of medicinal materials requires a chemical reaction.Sometimes, the chemical reaction is very intense.After the chemical reaction of medicinal materials, many new substances will be produced.Some of these substances are impurities.Even, some of them are toxic impurities.These toxic impurities are the erysipelas mentioned earlier.

For example, the two most common medicinal materials, star anise lotus leaf and water yellow lotus, will produce slight toxicity if mixed together.Obviously, this toxicity must be eliminated.Otherwise, the toxicity will remain in the elixir in the future, and this is not an elixir but a poison.

Five different medicinal materials are mixed with each other, and the toxicity produced is naturally more.Anyone with a little bit of mathematical concepts knows how many possibilities there are.The more medicinal materials mixed at the same time, the more types and quantities of impurities will be produced.And an alchemist, is to understand all the possibilities.For any impurities produced by it, we must think of ways to deal with it.Otherwise, the quality of the final elixir must be terrible.

Why does the quality of pills need to be measured by purity?Just look at the useful ingredients in it.A elixir with a purity of [-]% means that the useful part is only half.The other half are useless.Even harmful.The effect of such a pill is naturally very bad.If you are not careful, you will kill someone.

In fact, even a elixir with a purity of [-]% is difficult to refine.

After all, no matter which step in alchemy, the amount of impurities to be removed is too much.Just what can be seen, smelled, and felt may not be able to completely clean up.And those impurities that cannot be seen, smelled, or felt are even more impossible to remove.Therefore, the purity of [-]% is generally unattainable without three to five years of training.

If the refined elixir is more than [-]% pure, it can be regarded as a junior alchemist.And junior alchemists can embroider a clover on their clothes to show their identity as alchemists.

And as long as you become an alchemist, you can enjoy a certain amount of state subsidies in gold coins.Every empire in the Beast Martial Continent attaches great importance to alchemists and attaches great importance to the construction of alchemist teams.And in the process of fighting against the Yaozu, alchemists did indeed play a vital role.No one dares to ignore their existence.

"Sure enough, there are some connections!"

During the alchemy process, Zhang Ling said to himself.

There are too many impurities when different medicinal materials are mixed together.

These impurities are varied and all-encompassing.There are all attributes and characteristics.

If he didn't have ten beast souls and rich true energy with thirteen attributes, he wouldn't be able to deal with these impurities at all.

No wonder it is so difficult for ordinary cultivators to become junior alchemists.Even a family of alchemy like Qiu Risi has a large number of brilliant alchemists with rich experience in alchemy. It takes at least two years to train an alchemy apprentice into a qualified junior alchemist.As for what level one can advance to after becoming a junior alchemist, it depends on one's hard work and talent.

Frankly speaking, if there is only one beast soul, and only two or three infuriating attributes that are not very powerful, it is simply impossible to remove all these impurities.Your zhenqi is not enough to distribute!It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and without enough true energy, it's impossible to talk about anything.Even after three to five years of repeated refining, he is very familiar with the medicinal properties and various steps, but there are still a lot of impurities that will be missed.

What's more terrible is that the process of elixir fusion is also affected by the surrounding environment.The surrounding environment may also add a lot of impurities to the pill.If the surrounding vitality of a certain attribute is too strong, it will 100% affect the purity of the elixir.The more complex and changeable the environment is, the more serious the impact on the quality of the pill will be.

There is no doubt that alchemy in the wild is the most difficult.Ordinary alchemists do alchemy in the alchemy room as much as possible.The construction quality of the alchemy room itself also seriously affects the quality of the elixir.Those brilliant alchemists all have high-quality alchemy rooms.Some even have more than one.They will choose different alchemy rooms according to different alchemy requirements.
