Refining Dao Dan is not simply about stewing the medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace. It is like stewing a big pot of rice. It is like a top chef treating various ingredients, using a complex method to extract the medicinal properties bit by bit, and then mix them into one.

Therefore, it is very difficult to refine Taoist elixirs, and often a slight difference will lead to the refining of all the elixirs, or the expected requirements will not be met.

In other words, a top Dao Alchemist, just like the top chef's mastery of ingredients, processes all kinds of medicinal materials the most perfectly and refines the top Dao Alchemist.

The secret of the New Dan School being so prosperous is that the suppressed Ancient Dan School cannot raise its head lies in the treatment of medicinal materials.

In ancient methods of alchemy, the spiritual medicine was first proportioned to a certain ratio, then included in the alchemy furnace, baked and refined with innate Taoist flames. The meticulousness of the mastery depends entirely on the strength of the spiritual consciousness and the familiarity with each spiritual medicine, removing the drought and retaining the essence, and then refining it into pills with various techniques.

The new method of alchemy successfully simplifies this process, performs pre-processing of medicinal materials, extracts the essence of various spiritual medicines in a special way, adds a catalyst and stabilizer, and finally refines the alchemy. Since the medicinal materials have been successfully refined in advance and the assistance of catalyst and stabilizer, the Dao Dan can be formed in one go, greatly improving the safety.

This is the advantage of the new alchemy school, which greatly improves the success rate of alchemy, and can be refined with a little cultivation.

Even, I heard that there have been places and alchemists who have specially refined spiritual essences and specialized refining spiritual essences on the market. At that time, just buy an ordinary Daoyuan Dan Fire, an ordinary alchemy furnace, some spiritual essences, catalysts, and stabilizers. You can refine your own elixirs after a little study, which can greatly reduce your dependence on alchemists, reduce costs, and be flexible and changeable.

But don’t underestimate the impact of such an action on the market. Cultivators usually take hard work to obtain spiritual medicine, and then sell it to alchemists, or exchange it for a certain amount of elixir.

However, there are now places and alchemists that specialize in selling refined elixir essences, as well as places that specifically refine spiritual essences, which directly compress the living space of alchemists, especially the ancient elixir lineage, which will be difficult.

In addition, in the eyes of many ordinary monks, the spiritual medicine they risked to exchange for their lives, but they could not refine the alchemy, so they could only sell it to the alchemist at a low price, and then had to buy the alchemist at a high price. This was simply intolerable, so that alchemists have been called the darkest profession since ancient times.

Therefore, now that with the impact on the ancient alchemist and the degree of dependence on the alchemist is greatly reduced, when everyone can refine the alchemist, the new alchemist who can extract the essence of the elixir and make catalysts and stabilizers becomes very popular, and the ancient alchemist becomes meaningless directly.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. It is for this reason that the conflict between the two generations of alchemists is getting bigger and bigger. At present, the new alchemist is like a flood and beast, and its impact on the market has gradually formed a certain scale. The ancient alchemist can only survive by reducing prices and the treasured ancient and ancient pill recipes in his hands, but it is also in danger as time goes by.

...

Su Yang was distracted by two uses. While refining the elixir by himself, he did not forget to observe how Ye Qiming, the new alchemist, refining the elixir.

After all, he is an eighth-grade alchemist. Can he not eat pork even if he has never seen a pig run?

After a brief observation, Su Yang immediately realized the advantages of the new alchemist. With the use of various additives and the successful refining of the essence of the elixir, this new method of alchemy aroused Su Yang's great alertness.

Indeed, compared with the ancient alchemy, the advantages of the new alchemy are too great, or this is simply the mainstream trend in the future development of alchemy, which can definitely be called a brand new change.

Su Yang has always been very sensitive to change. He could realize that if an alchemist cannot seize the opportunity, he will be eliminated by the new alchemy method one day in the future.

But for some reason, Su Yang clearly felt that the new alchemy practice was indeed good, but he always felt very inconsistent, and he felt that something was wrong, as if he was stepping into some kind of wrong path.

When Ye Qiming and Wen Haodan Furnace officially opened the furnace to refine the alchemy, Su Yang immediately discovered the problem.

Baking... Ye Qiming's method of opening the furnace and refining alchemy is quite gorgeous. As soon as the furnace is opened, eight milky white fire clouds rolling, stacking them up, looking spectacular.

Under the nourishment of these eight milky white fire clouds, the alchemy furnace was just right, and the fragrance of pills began to spread, and the pills were filled with mist, giving people a hazy feeling of watching flowers in the fog, mysterious and powerful.

The essence of the refined elixir was sent to the elixir by Ye Qiming once, and it began to roll and flow like spiritual liquid, like a group of spiritual fish swimming in the milky white sea of ​​clouds, full of lively spirituality.

"Refining!" Ye Qiming looked full of confidence. After closing the alchemy furnace again, he began to use one of the exquisite alchemy techniques.

In an instant, eight milky white fire clouds changed in a wonderful way, sometimes riding on the dragon, sometimes dancing on the phoenix, sometimes turning into rain and dew, sometimes rising into flames that soar to the sky. Each change is full of various mysteries, and repeated eight times is a time.

This is obviously a sophisticated fire control technique, which can be used in combination with the alchemy technique to extract the elixir to a great extent.

For a moment, watching Ye Qiming's spirited efforts to control it, as the strange phenomena appeared more colorfully, bursts of screams could no longer be controlled around him. Even Qi Yuncao, a master of the ninth-grade ancient pill, couldn't help but nod secretly.

Yes, although he hates and does not accept the new alchemy method in his heart, he is not good at dealing with people and things. This Ye Qiming is indeed a rising star in the alchemy art, especially the use of the Eight-Terms Fire Cloud Art. He seems to have already understood the essence. In time, he will definitely be able to reach the realm of a ninth-grade alchemy master.

Compared with Ye Qiming's excellent performance, Su Yang's performance is remarkable.

Because Su Yang deliberately kept his weakness, he also had to distract himself from the two uses. While observing Ye Qiming's new elixir method, he also had to refine Dao Dan by himself. Naturally, he could not be as handsome as Ye Qiming, and he looked very mediocre.

However, Su Yang was obsessed with the Tao of Alchemy for a long time. Even though the process of alchemy was not very outstanding, every move was very concise and straightforward. He applied step by step, and it looked quite pleasing to the eye, like a flowing water. It seemed that one more point would pass, and one less point would be insufficient.

Therefore, Qi Yuncao's comment on Su Yang's evaluation is that his basic skills are quite solid, that's all.

Qi Yuncao believes that Ye Baichuan, whose strength and status are almost the same as him, naturally, he believes that Ye Baichuan also appreciates Su Yang's alchemy when he is not good at anything and people. His solid basic skills are obviously hard work, which is something that an alchemist should experience.

Especially Su Yang's basic skills are even better than Ye Qiming, which makes Ye Baichuan clearly judge that if Ye Baichuan had not practiced the Eight-Standard Fire Cloud Art to the level of great success, he would even be Su Yang's opponent.

In other words, looking at all of his disciples, except Ye Baichuan, the other disciples who go on stage to fight the elixir are likely to be defeated by Su Yang. Maybe they will really cause a disgusting thing to capsize in the gutter.

In short, at this moment, Ye Baichuan thought that sending his strongest disciple to the field to fight the elixir was the wisest decision.

In this way, as time went by, Ye Qiming's technique became more and more gorgeous. Eight milky white fire clouds almost dominated the audience, creating strong high temperatures from time to time, causing bursts of exclamations.

Finally, when this fire power reached an unprecedented extreme, eight milky white fire clouds turned into eight fire streams, poured into the alchemy furnace, and controlled the pill liquid to merge into one, quickly refining it into pills of different sizes.

"Start!" As Ye Qiming's last skill fell, he finally completed all the steps of alchemy. The alchemy furnace opened with a loud bang, and pills leaped out spiritually. With Ye Qiming's skill guide, they all fell into the jade plate, rotating drippingly at high speed, exuding an attractive charm.

The elixir was completed in total, all of which were eighth grade pills, one purple, two blue and six white. This was definitely a pretty good result. Ye Qiming smiled quite satisfiedly, nodded slightly, put it in the pill bottle, and looked at Su Yang, who was still refining the pill at a slow pace. He couldn't help but look proud.

Ye Baichuan naturally smiled immediately, while Qi Yuncao shook his head helplessly, as if he had also determined the outcome.

No wonder everyone thinks so. After all, the entire process of Su Yang's alchemy refining can be regarded as outstanding, but not outstanding.

Moreover, Ye Qiming's grades are really excellent. A pill of eighth grade second-class pill is enough to win. After all, the higher the grade, the harder it is to refine high-quality pills. This is a recognized fact. Even if Qi Yuncao, the ninth grade pill master, takes the stage to refine, his grades will not be much better than Ye Qiming.

In addition, Ye Qiming has completed the refining of the elixir, and Su Yang is still busy. It seems that he will not be able to complete the work in a short time, and it seems that he will be better off invisibly.

Yes, Dou Dan compares the quality of the pill, not the time, but being able to complete the alchemy quickly means that it is better in terms of proficiency in the alchemy. Su Yang obviously makes another move in this regard.

One mistake, one step is wrong. Not only can an expert understand it, but even the outsider Song Shan also noticed something and asked Jiulu Zhenjun tentatively: "Is Senior Su at a disadvantage?"

Jiulu Zhenjun smiled without saying a word, Diya sighed, "Everything is worse than others, I will definitely lose."

Song Shan frowned, and after pondering for a while, he seemed not to agree with Diya's words. He continued to ask Jiulu Zhenjun: "Zhengjun, what do you think? Are you really going to lose?"

Jiulu Zhenjun asked back without answering: "Oh, little guy, do you seem to be very confident in Su Yang?"

Song Shan replied: "Although I don't want to admit it, Senior Su is really strong. I always feel that he has not done his best and seems to be planning something. Otherwise, with his personality, he would have cut the mess quickly and would not be so tepid."

Jiulu Zhenjun still didn't answer, just said, "I can't play with this thing in Dan Dao, but what you analyzed makes sense. Keep this idea so that only in this way can you live better. As for the outcome of this battle of Dan, winning or losing is not important, just look at it."

Win or lose is not important?

Song Shan frowned and carefully savored what Jiulu Zhenjun said.
Chapter completed!
