After Ye Qin obtained the formula of Dew Reduction Pill and the method of refining the alchemy from Nan Tianba, he immediately started preparing the alchemy to increase the speed of cultivation.

To be cautious, he did not intend to refine alchemy in the medicinal hall, as it would be very easy for his fellow disciples to see the clues. If someone knew that he had refined medicines privately, it would cause a lot of trouble.

Of course, he did not intend to find a place in the wild, as it would be easy to be accidentally caught and was also unsafe. In the past, he went to the wild to refine medicine because he had no money and had to go to the wild to refine Qingxin Pills. Now he has dozens of golden leaves exchanged from Zhenbao to Elder Huang with Qingxin Pills. He could choose a place in the county and buy it as a place to settle down.

Ye Qin wore a black hat and spent more than ten gold leaves in a remote alley in the southeastern urban area of ​​the county town to buy a small courtyard from a down-and-out little squire as his temporary residence and alchemy place.

This small courtyard is not big, surrounded by mud walls one meter high, and the innermost part of the courtyard is a separate blue brick house. Because the little gentry did not usually live in the city and neglected to take care of the courtyard, all the courtyards were overgrown and a little messy.

Next door to the courtyard are homes of some civilian families. These civilians have little knowledge and will not disturb him from refining alchemy.

Ye Qin was quite satisfied with this small courtyard. Such a single-house courtyard is very common in the southeast of the county town. People in the rivers and lakes hold their own identities and will not come to such small places. The more ordinary and ordinary it appears, the less anyone pays attention to it. After all, he often needs to refine alchemy in the future. In the small earth courtyard in civilian areas, it is best to hide and not easily be discovered.

After having this small courtyard, Ye Qin began to prepare the items needed for alchemy: main medicine, secondary medicine, alchemy furnace, and fire.

Refining the Lu Zhuan Pill requires a main medicine, with as many as ten side medicines. Although he already has the main medicine Shu Zhuan grass in his hand, he still needs to spend time collecting the side medicines. Although these side medicines are not spiritual herbs, they are also valuable herbs.

However, Ye Qin was not worried about these side medicines, because there were a wide variety of precious herbs for sale in the large pharmacy opened in the Zhuqi County Cooking Hall. As long as you spend a lot of silver leaves, you can directly buy the side medicines he needed in the pharmacy. Even if you don’t go to the pharmacy’s pharmacy, he can still go to the trade market. There are also a lot of scattered medicinal materials for sale in the market, which are collected by people in the martial arts world.

If it were the past, Ye Qin would probably have no choice but to buy the silver leaves of the large amount of medicine. Now, besides buying a small courtyard, he still has twenty gold leaves in his hand, which is enough for him to spend a short period of time.

Both the main medicine and the secondary medicine are not a problem. The most troublesome thing is to find an alchemy furnace.

The method of cultivating immortals and refining alchemy is completely different from the pharmaceutical methods in the Jianghu. The pharmaceutical methods in the Jianghu are all made of slices, pot cooking, medicinal soup, and pills to make powders and pills.

To refine spiritual elixirs, you must use a sealed alchemy furnace to refine them in the furnace.

This thing is usually not available for use by others, and it is almost impossible to find in shops, so it is naturally a bit difficult to find.

Ye Qin searched all over the city, and almost searched through all the shops in Zhuqi County, and finally found an iron alchemy furnace in a grocery store.

This iron alchemy furnace is based on a triangular seat. The body of the fat dundoing iron furnace is only the size of a gourd, and it is an iron lid on it, which can seal the furnace belly. The shell of the furnace cauldron is full of rust, and the portion is heavy, weighing thirty or forty kilograms.

Seeing the clumsy and ugly appearance of the alchemy furnace, Ye Qin was very suspicious whether it could be used to refine alchemy.

The owner of the grocery store patted his chest and promised that it was absolutely useful, saying that this iron alchemy furnace was a furnace in a broken Taoist temple outside the county town, specially used for alchemy. Later, when the old Taoist priest died, the Taoist boy in the Taoist temple sold it to the grocery store.

Ye Qin is skeptical.

He opened the lid and sniffed it. There was indeed a strong smell of medicine stone inside, which was very unpleasant. He didn't know what pills the stove had ever refined before. He couldn't find other stoves, so he had to use it first.

After paying ten silver leaves, Ye Qin carried the iron alchemy furnace back to his private courtyard.

After buying all the side medicines, everything was ready, Ye Qin began to refine his first furnace of pills.

A portion of medicinal herb is made of a dew-reducing grass and several side medicines, and you can refine a dew-reducing pill.

When refining elixirs, you can refine a portion of medicinal materials in the stove and produce a elixir. You can also refine several portions of medicinal materials at the same time and produce several elixirs at the same time. The requirements for refining this lowest-level elixir is actually not high. Except for the main medicine, which is extremely precious spiritual herb, the other side medicines used, as well as fire and utensils, are all ordinary things.

Just grind various medicinal materials into powder, add pure water from the stream, pound it into the medicine liquid, pour it into the stove, add a cover, cause a fire and suck it, and then slowly burn the stove.

At the beginning of the alchemy, the most important thing is to keep abreast of the fire.

Ye Qin sat by the stove, slowly adding dead branches of firewood, staring carefully at the size of the flame, and stayed for a long time.

The size of the flame is extremely strict. At first, it must be used to use a slightly larger and fierce fire to maintain it for half an hour. The fire must be even and cannot be too big or small, otherwise the medicinal power of the furnace and cauldron cannot be integrated. Use a small fire to nourish the pill for one hour to condense the pill.

Only by practicing elixirs with your own hands can you realize the difficulty of this kind of elixir.

The furnace will last for one or two hours, and it will be difficult for Ye Qin to add firewood and reduce ash. The flames will inevitably vary in size. How can the same fire be maintained? This makes Ye Qin very nervous.

In order to make the firewood evenly burn enough, he simply split the pile of firewood into small pieces of inches and threw it into the fire little by little, so that the fire could be balanced and lasted as long as possible, which solved the problem of fire.

The last step, and the most critical one, is to seize the opportunity to open the furnace and release the elixir, which is even more difficult.

During the process of alchemy, the medicinal liquid in the alchemy furnace will automatically gradually condense the pill.

If the furnace is opened early, the medicinal power of the medicine liquid has not been fully activated, and the spiritual pill has not been completely condensed, it is a semi-finished spiritual pill. At this time, the elixir only has four or five points of the medicine power, or even two or three points of the medicine power, and the medicinal power is seriously insufficient, causing waste.

If the furnace is opened late, the spiritual pill is more likely to be coking in the furnace and directly become a waste pill, containing a lot of impurities and poisons. This waste pill cannot be eaten. If eaten, it will not only not help the cultivation, but will cause huge damage to the body. Usually, it can only be thrown away by pain.

To master the heat of the elixir, you must go through long-term alchemy operations.

Not to mention that it is difficult for novices like Ye Qin to master the temperature, even Nan Tianba, the patriarch of the Nan family, who has refined hundreds of furnaces of various elixirs and has experienced "very rich" experience, he cannot guarantee that his elixir yield rate can reach more than 30% or 40%.

In the first few days, Ye Qin refined more than ten furnaces of elixirs in a row. Either because the fire could not be controlled, or the time to open the furnace and produce the elixirs was not grasped, and a large number of semi-finished products and waste elixirs were refined. As soon as the waste elixir was opened, a strong smell of burnt smell came out, causing Ye Qin to choke and tears flowed down his face, and he could hardly sit still in the room.

It was not until a few days later that he accidentally successfully refined a furnace of spiritual pills. When the furnace was opened, a warm and refreshing fragrance of spiritual pills filled the entire room, making people intoxicated and almost unable to extricate themselves.

Ye Qin was so ecstatic that he could hardly hold back and jumped up, poured out the yellow pill with round and full body in the iron alchemy furnace, regardless of the heat, and took it in his hand.

The hard work these days has not been in vain. Finally, I have refined a dew-reducing pill to see how effective it is.

The method of taking low-level spiritual pills is very simple. Swallow it directly, then meditate for about half a day, slowly refine the spiritual pills in the abdomen, absorb all its medicinal power, and convert them into the vital energy of the immortals.
