Chapter 31 Open the furnace and make alchemy

Back from the medicine shop to his residence, Mo Ran couldn't wait to take out the "Xi Chuang Pill" pill recipe and the alchemy furnace he just bought, make all preparations, and start implementing his alchemy plan.

Put the alchemy furnace on the table, gently flipped through the primary alchemy, looked carefully again, and thought: "It seems that the first thing is to learn to control the flame."

Recalling the content of the Dan Sutra, Mo Ran slowly raised his palm and pressed it on the Dan Furnace. His eyes narrowed slightly and silently circulated his internal energy. A purple air flow surged out from the Dantian, and quickly appeared on the Dan Furnace along the meridians of his arm, and then passed through the part where the Dan Furnace contacted his palm and entered the Dan Furnace.

Mo Ran's eyes suddenly opened, his spiritual perception was released, and he also entered the inside of the alchemy furnace. He saw a purple flame that seemed a little riotous rose inside the alchemy furnace.

"No." Feeling that the purple flame inside the alchemy furnace was a little rioted, Mo Ran took back some of the internal energy, and then slightly adjusted the release speed of the flame. Slowly, the flame inside the alchemy furnace was no longer as difficult to control as before, and calmed down little by little.

With his eyes closed, Mo Ran focused all his mind inside the alchemy furnace. His powerful spiritual perception felt the changes of the purple flame inside the alchemy furnace. He was now like a food expert savoring a delicacy, experiencing the fun in it carefully. At this time, Mo Ran had already entered a state of meditation.

Feeling that the flame had reached a stable level, Mo Ran slowly opened his eyes, took out a piece of "Xi Chuang Pill" material, and threw one of the blood coagulation grass directly into the alchemy furnace. As soon as the blood coagulation grass was entered into the alchemy furnace, it was instantly wrapped by the purple flame in the alchemy furnace.

"Hu", because it was the first time I refining elixirs, Mo Ran had no experience at all, and the result was that the blood coagulation herb turned into ashes as soon as it entered the elixir furnace.

"It seems that alchemy is not as simple as imagined!" Mo Ran sighed in a low voice.

The refining process just now made Mo Ran a little tired. This is different from his use of martial arts alone. When refining alchemy, you must not only try your best to control the balance of the flame, but also distract yourself from using your mental perception to feel the essence of the medicinal materials. This made Mo Ran sigh that it is indeed not a simple thing to be an alchemist. No wonder the real high-level alchemist on the mainland is even rarer than the martial arts powerhouse. This is the most basic healing pill, and the materials used are also the lowest level, so it is not easy to succeed. If you want to refine advanced pills, such materials will probably be more difficult to refine.

He shook his head vigorously and tried his best to calm down. Mo Ran's chin was carefully recalling the alchemy method recorded in the alchemy scriptures and the process of refining herbs just now, trying to find out what was wrong.

"It should be the flames too fierce." Frowning and thinking about it, Mo Ran finally affirmed his thoughts and activated the purple flames again.

This time, Mo Ran put almost half of the herbs he bought on the table. His right hand slowly outputted internal energy and slowly turned into flames. He threw a blood coagulation grass into his left hand.

"Hu~" As soon as it was entered into the alchemy furnace, the blood coagulation herb was burned to ashes again.

Feeling that another blood coagulation grass turned into flying ashes, Mo Ran did not stop, adjusted the flame concentration slightly, and then threw it into the next blood coagulation grass.

In this way, the blood coagulation herb was constantly thrown into the alchemy furnace by Mo Ran. After every failure, he carefully felt the balance of the flames in the alchemy furnace and adjusted the flame concentration in time.

In a blink of an eye, no less than twenty blood coagulation herbs were consumed completely. After a long period of time, Mo Ran's physical and mental power was consumed at a rapid speed. Sweat gradually oozed out of Mo Ran's forehead, and it became increasingly difficult to control the flames.

When Mo Ran picked up the 20th blood coagulation grass, there was already a gentle sound of c-flowering and n-breathing.

"Try again." With her teeth in her medicine, Mo Ran threw the blood coagulation grass into the alchemy furnace again. The purple flame quickly surrounded the blood coagulation grass. However, this time, the blood coagulation grass did not immediately turn into ashes, but stayed for a while. Then, Mo Ran clearly felt that the blood coagulation grass slowly melted, and the flame in the center of the alchemy furnace had a small, undetectable granular substance floating in it.

This phenomenon surprised Mo Ran, who had been paying attention to the inside of the alchemy furnace. According to the introduction of the alchemy scripture, this phenomenon shows that he has successfully refined the essence of the herbs, and also shows that he has initially found the balance point of the flame.

"Success." The mental perception carefully observed the herbal essence floating in the furnace. Mo Ran felt his spirit shocked, and his frown had finally unfolded. The feeling of fatigue caused by persisting in refining for a long time also reduced a lot.

However, the herbal essence did not remain for too long. When Mo Ran lost his mind, the balance point of the flame was immediately destroyed, and the herbal essence just extracted was melted by the flame and disappeared.

Mo Ran was slightly stunned and then smiled bitterly. It seemed that his unexpected success just now made him walk the number, but he did not control the flames for a while, burning the essence of the herbs again. However, the success just now gave Mo Ran a hint of enlightenment. He vaguely grasped the balance point of the flames.

"It's really a waste. After a while, so many materials were consumed. It seems that the alchemist is not that easy to be a good alchemist." Looking at the remaining materials on the table, there were no other things, but twenty blood coagulation plants were missing. Mo Ran sighed again. This is just the lowest-level elixir, so it's so difficult. If you continue like this, the gold coins in your hand will definitely not be enough. It seems that he has to find another way. Money is easy to use anywhere.

After a gentle breath, Mo Ran sat down, looked at the alchemy stove and herbs on the table, and fell into deep thought.

"At present, my gold coins are enough to spend a while. During this period, I should focus on refining low-level elixirs. I will work hard to improve my strength, master alchemy skills proficiently, and wait until the weight-bearing equipment is built, so I will go to the Rimu Forest to practice for a while. The alchemy scriptures have also introduced that there are not only various herbs, but also many spiritual beasts. With my current strength, I will deal with ordinary low-level spirit beasts. Although it is a little harder to deal with ordinary low-level spirit beasts, it is better if I can get one or two spiritual crystals. Now I should calm down and study the alchemy well." Mo Ran thought carefully in his mind, and it could be considered as a plan for himself to practice.

Awakened from contemplation, Mo Ran simply adjusted his breath for a while, stood up again, pressed his palm on the alchemy furnace, and activated the flames to burn. This time Mo Ran did not continue to use the blood coagulation grass, but instead replaced it with another Ningshen flower.

After several experiments, Mo Ran easily extracted the essence of the herbs, but Mo Ran was still worried. After refining the three herbs several times, the success rate increased significantly.

Seeing his gradual increase in success rate, a smile appeared on Mo Ran's face. He silently counted the remaining herbs on the table, and finally decided to start refining real pills.

Don’t think that Mo Ran can extract the essence of herbs so quickly, which means that he has a high talent in refining medicine. In fact, the most difficult part in refining alchemy is not to refine it, but how to combine the materials needed for refining alchemy, and then find the degree of fit in it to fuse them together to condense them into pills.

It is very difficult to combine multiple herbs together, and the more advanced the elixir, the more precious the materials required, which leads to the scarcity of advanced alchemists.

After controlling the flames, Mo Ran calmed down and picked up three herbs and threw them into the alchemy furnace. As soon as he entered the alchemy furnace, the strong purple flame swept up wildly, wrapping the herbs. At this moment, Mo Ran released almost all his spiritual perception and observed with all his concentration.

"Hu" as expected, the herbs were melted clean by the flames, and Mo Ran was not affected by this failure. He knew that it would be strange if he could succeed easily. He believed that as long as he kept trying, he would succeed.

He kept urging the flames and constantly poured herbs into the alchemy furnace. The failures again and again could not shake Mo Ran's firm confidence. Gradually, Mo Ran's physical strength had just recovered was exhausted, and the feeling of fatigue surged throughout his body. Even so, Mo Ran had no intention of rest because he knew that it was the critical moment. After many experiments, he was very close to success. He could not stop now, otherwise the feeling would be fleeting.

At this time, Mo Ran showed all his possible maximum limit without reservation. The temperature in the room rose a lot, and the breath of flames was everywhere. Mo Ran's left hand was also constantly pouring herbs like a mechanical one.

Suddenly, the herbs that turned into ashes into ashes did not melt as soon as they entered the alchemy furnace. Instead, the essence of the three herbs appeared in the center of the alchemy furnace and were slowly condensed into the middle. Feeling the changes inside the alchemy furnace, Mo Ran knew that this time it might be successful. At that moment, Mo Ran focused his attention and looked at the essence condensate that could not be said to be liquid or gas.

"There should be baking and waiting to be turned into a pill." Thinking in my mind, Mo Ran began to increase the flame concentration steadily, and saw that some tiny impurities in the essence condensate were gradually being removed, slowly becoming a pill-shaped one.

"It's still a little bit." It was about to become a pill. Mo Ran felt a little excited in his heart, and he focused on the purple flame rising in the pill furnace. At this time, Mo Ran would never allow any mistakes.

"It's done." After feeling that the last bit of impurities had been removed, Mo Ran suddenly flipped his palm and slapped the elixir furnace with a "pop". As Mo Ran slapped down, the furnace cover of the elixir also flew upwards, and then a circular object popped up from the mouth of the elixir.

"Pa" Mo Ran quickly reached out and grabbed the object that popped up. He slowly opened his palm and saw a pill that was about to flash with a faint red light lying quietly on Mo Ran's palm.
