Chapter 118 First Entering the Alchemy

Behind the black lacquered wooden door is a stone chamber. The four walls are paved with strange stones. The most conspicuous ones are the four corners of the stone chamber and the center of the top of the head, where a colorful stone is placed respectively.

At this moment, under the influence of the energy of the spirit stone, the five colorful stones released brilliant lights, intertwined with each other, like dreams and fantasy.

Because of his previous life experience, Qin Chuan is no stranger to the Void Refining Room.

When the alchemy room is at the first level, the virtual refining room can consume five lower-grade spirit stones to start once. Each time it starts, two alchemists can be supported to perform virtual refining in it for 30 days.

However, at this time, the virtual refining room can only perform virtual refining of low-grade elixirs. Before the alchemy room is upgraded, the medium-grade or above elixirs cannot be performed virtually.

Of course, such a function can fully meet the needs of the Yuhuamen at this time.

Qin Chuan took Cao Xiaolan into the stone room and said to him: "Xiaolan, this place is called the Void Refining Room, which is a place that can be refined virtually. You fantasize about the items needed to refine low-grade elixirs, such as spiritual medicine, cauldron, flame, etc., and the Void Refining Room will immediately transform into you. The materials are inexhaustible and useless. However, every five spiritual stones can only support you to refine in the Void Refining Room for 30 days. The cost is high, you must cherish your time, work hard to refine, and accumulate more experience!"

"Don't worry, with such a magical treasure land, Xiaolan would rather not eat or drink than waste time!" After hearing Qin Chuan's words, Cao Xiaolan was so excited that he could not express his emotions in words.

He grew up with his master. His master is an alchemist who tinkers with elixirs every day. Cao Xiaolan's eyes and eyes have become very interested in alchemy since he was very young.

However, the Xianling Sect is a small sect and has shortage of resources. Usually, Cao Xiaolan is willing to try to refine alchemy with ordinary herbs. Only in extremely special circumstances can he be willing to enter the alchemy room and use real spiritual medicine to refine alchemy. However, such an opportunity is rare once a year.

Since the death of his master, Cao Xiaolan has been inseparable from the alchemy room.

If you cannot accumulate experience through practice, no matter how good the qualification is, you will never be able to become a real alchemist. Therefore, although Cao Xiaolan has already recited a lot of low-grade alchemy recipes with his master, unfortunately he has not reached the qualification of a low-grade alchemist.

This is really an unbearable pain for someone who is interested in alchemy and has always hoped to achieve success in this field.

Now that we came to Yuhua Gate, Qin Chuan not only handed over the alchemy room to Cao Xiaolan, but also provided such a magical virtual room. The joy and excitement in Cao Xiaolan's heart can be imagined.

Even if he is really not allowed to eat or drink, he is absolutely willing!

Seeing Cao Xiaolan so excited, Qin Chuan patted his shoulder and said to him: "Come on, you can try virtual refining now!"

"Yes, senior brother of the sect!" Cao Xiaolan had already been eager to try it. After hearing Qin Chuan's words, he immediately chose the lower-grade elixir "Bone Strengthening Pill" as an attempt. Close his eyes and began to imagine the various materials needed to refine the Bone Strengthening Pill.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan also stepped aside, no longer disturbing Cao Xiaolan, and watched him refining elixirs quietly.

After Cao Xiaolan closed his eyes, the light in the void refining room flickered even more brilliantly. After a while, a double dragon-holding bead-shaped stove transformed into the void refining room. There was a slightly old cauldron on the stove, and under the cauldron was a burning fire.

Then, another long table transformed into Cao Xiaolan's side. Then, one special tool after another appeared on the table, and a bamboo basket next to the tool, which contained several spiritual medicines.

Whether it is the petals or leaves of herbs, there are traces of spiritual energy that are revealed.

These scenes are familiar scenes when Cao Xiaolan was studying with his master in the Immortal Spirit Sect. At this time, he was transformed into the Void Refining Room one by one, and Cao Xiaolan was in it, as if he had returned to his childhood when he was strictly taught by his master.

At this moment, there was nothing in his eyes except herbs and tools. He took out a spiritual medicine from the bamboo basket and began to use the tools next to him to process it.

His movements were fast, skilled, and meticulous. Qin Chuan nodded secretly as he looked at him. Cao Xiaolan was indeed a capable material in alchemy!

At this time, the virtual refining room could support two alchemists to refine it at the same time. Qin Chuan felt that being in it, just standing and watching seemed a bit of a waste of resources.

Anyway, the technique of alchemy is useful as long as it is a cultivator. Although Qin Chuan still cannot check his spiritual root attributes until now, even if it is not the best fire and wood spirit roots, they can still learn alchemy techniques, but they cannot have the same effect as fire and wood spirit roots.

Anyway, I am idle, so why not learn to refine alchemy with Cao Xiaolan!

After Qin Chuan thought about this, he immediately became interested. However, he did not want to interrupt Cao Xiaolan's state of devotion. He just stood aside and transformed into exactly the same thing according to what Cao Xiaolan transformed into. Then he followed the steps he saw just now and started to refine it step by step.

Bone-strengthening Pill is an ordinary low-grade pill. Its effect is to strengthen the muscles and body, and to increase the speed of the monk's body refining within the third level of the Qi training period.

The procedure to refine this kind of elixir is not much, and the materials are needed are very little. Only one elixir and three ordinary herbs are needed.

Qin Chuan followed Cao Xiaolan's appearance just now and crushed the spiritual medicine and three ordinary herbs into pieces with a grinding wheel, then put it into a small jar together and shake it hard.

After that, pour all the medicine powder into the cauldron, then activate the flame and start heating.

The heating steps on Qinchuan have just begun, and Cao Xiaolan next to him has already cheered: "It's done!"

It turned out that he had just used various steps and successfully refined the bone-building pill in just one time.

With a thought, a crystal-clear jade bottle transformed into Cao Xiaolan's hand. Although the bone-burning pill that had just been refined was just a virtual item, Cao Xiaolan carefully put it into the jade bottle.

After all, this is the crystallization of my own efforts!

After doing all this, Cao Xiaolan was about to continue to refine other things when he suddenly saw Qin Chuan activate the flames as if he was standing next to him, and he was very curious.

However, just after a glance, Cao Xiaolan realized that Qin Chuan was a completely novice in alchemy, and he was very unfamiliar with both techniques and strength. In this state, it was impossible to refine elixirs.

Sure enough, while he was thinking this way, he heard a "bang" sound from Qin Chuan's cauldron, and a stream of black smoke emerged. The first attempt to refine an alchemy was declared a failure.

"This...what is going on? I'm learning from you every step, why do you make a pill so easily, but I just make a ball of black smoke?" Qin Chuan asked in confusion.

Cao Xiaolan said with a smile: "Senior Brother, refining elixirs is a very tedious task. Every step has detailed requirements. You only look at the surface but don't know the inside, and it is impossible to refine elixirs. Take controlling the flame as an example. You cannot just burn with vigorous flames. You must slow, fast, left, and right. Let the flames constantly change the directions of the roasting cauldron, so that the powder inside is heated evenly and melted simultaneously, so that you can successfully melt into the medicine liquid and finally form a elixir. Moreover, in addition to controlling the flame, there are many considerations for the degree of crushing of the powder and the amount of the powder to be combined. If you don't know the combination of these portions, it is basically impossible to succeed."

Qin Chuan had long known that elixir refining was not simple. Therefore, when observing Cao Xiaolan's movements just now, he was very careful. However, these detailed weight requirements and heat changes cannot be seen by careful observation.

This failure is completely reasonable.

However, Qin Chuan was born with a character that was not easily surrendered. The failure of the first refining aroused his competitive spirit. So he asked Cao Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, do you have any books that teach alchemy knowledge?"

Cao Xiaolan shook his head and said, "When I was in the Xianling Sect, I was not qualified to contact the alchemy books in the sect. However, when I was learning alchemy with my master, I had made many detailed information and notes, and now they are all placed in my room. If the senior brother of the sect is interested in alchemy, he might as well go and take a look. If he has no foundation, he will refine it, and there is no hope of success."

Qin Chuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go find your information and not bother you anymore. You can concentrate on refining."

Cao Xiaolan nodded and stopped talking. He started to transform various required materials with the help of the function of the virtual refining room and continued to refine them.

Qin Chuan quietly withdrew, closed the room door, then walked out of the alchemy room and headed straight for Cao Xiaolan's room.

Cao Xiaolan's room was clean and tidy and simple to arrange. Soon Qin Chuan found Cao Xiaolan's note on the desk to record alchemy knowledge. He simply stopped changing the place and started reading in Cao Xiaolan's room.

In the past, I only learned some alchemy knowledge through other information. At this time, after reading Cao Xiaolan's information and noticing, Qin Chuan discovered that alchemy is worthy of being one of the most difficult techniques to master in the world of immortal cultivation. It is indeed complicated and profound.

Just a few low-grade elixir refining methods that are of little use at the beginning, Cao Xiaolan recorded dozens or hundreds of things to pay attention to.

The following valuable elixirs have a lot of things to pay attention to. From the selection and matching of raw materials, to processing, to the timing of entering the furnace, to the mastery of the heat, to the process of condensing the elixir, to the opening of the furnace to obtaining the elixir, all the requirements are meticulous and harsh.

Moreover, no matter which process, it must be treated strictly. Often, a very small mistake may lead to the failure of the entire alchemy process.

It is really not easy to become an alchemist! However, the more challenging things are, the more interested Qin Chuan is.

Anyway, after becoming an alchemist, it will be of great help to the entire Yuhua Sect and to improve one's own personal cultivation. Why not give it a try!

After making up his mind, Qin Chuan focused on picking out the introductory knowledge of alchemy recorded in Cao Xiaolan's note, read it repeatedly, and keep it in mind.

Then, he selected a piece of the elixir recipes he recorded, which was nothing else, but the bone-building pill that had just been refined into a ball of black smoke!

Wherever you fall, you must get up! Today, you will use a bone-building pill to announce that you have officially embarked on the road to alchemy!

Qin Chuan studied hard and almost forgot the day and night, and forgot to eat.

Fortunately, his cultivation has increased greatly and he is about to enter the upper level of Qi training stage where the spiritual consciousness is born. He is nourished by Ling Valley every day, and his physical fitness has long surpassed the past. Even if he doesn't eat for a few days, it will have no effect at all.

After repeatedly reading and remembering the basic knowledge of alchemy and various precautions for refining bone-building pills, Qin Chuan put down his note, walked out of Cao Xiaolan's residence, and walked out of the alchemy room again.

It was already late at night, with crescent moon in the sky, stars in the sky, and under the cold light, Feiyu Mountain was peaceful and peaceful.

At this time, everyone must have gone to bed. However, when Qin Chuan opened the door of the Void Refining Room, he suddenly found that Cao Xiaolan was still busy in it.

Seeing him like this, I guess he didn't even eat supper. It doesn't matter if he happens occasionally, but he must not do this for a long time. After all, Cao Xiaolan's cultivation is still shallow.

Qin Chuan then stood aside, quietly waiting for Cao Xiaolan to finish refining a pill, then walked forward, patted his shoulder and said, "Xiaolan, don't you even eat supper? Working hard is a good thing, but you can't work too hard. Your body is the capital for alchemy! Okay, let's stop here today and go back and rest."

Cao Xiaolan was in a state of excitement at this time, so he was reluctant to end it. He quickly said to Qin Chuan: "Senior Brother, I'm fine! Although I haven't eaten, I have elixirs to take!"

As he said that, he took the elixir he had just refined to Qin Chuan and showed it to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but smile and said, "The elixirs refined in the virtual refining room are all virtual. Even if you take ten thousand pills, it will have no effect at all!"

Cao Xiaolan said firmly: "It's useful! I felt a little hungry just now. After eating two Yuanqi pills, I immediately felt that my hunger had disappeared and my vitality increased greatly. I have continued to refine the alchemy until now, and I don't feel tired at all! I don't believe that the senior brother of the sect will also try to eat one!"

While speaking, he handed the elixir at hand to Qin Chuan.

The special building of the Alchemy House was created by Qin Chuan's hands. Qin Chuan knew its functions and uses well. Of course, he didn't believe that these virtual elixirs would have any effect after taking them.

However, seeing Cao Xiaolan's swearing, Qin Chuan felt it was quite fun, so he reached out to take the pill and tilted his head to swallow it.
