Chapter 34: Grade One
According to the basics of medicine refining, the purity of the essence of the medicinal materials extracted during the refining process is divided into different levels. Generally, the apprentice of the Alchemist can only be qualified if the purity reaches 60%.
Because only when the purity of the medicinal essence reaches 60% or above can you guarantee that the elixir you refine barely reaches the efficacy of the grade elixir.
The various levels of purity of the three medicinal materials are described in detail in the recipe of the blood coagulation powder, with a minimum of 60% and a maximum of 90%.
Xiao Bai found that the description of the 90% purity of the purple sun fruit is also different from the lavender powder in his hand.
90% purity of the purple sun fruit: the overall powder is light purple, and the darker purple powder accounts for no more than 10%.
The lavender powder in Xiao Bai's hand is exactly the same color, and it does not contain darker parts as described in the description.
Moreover, the powder is crystal clear. If you look closely, there is also a faint green color in it, which is almost invisible.
"I don't know if this variant of the thing I made will have any effect on the final product, the blood coagulation powder. I think there shouldn't be any problems!"
Xiao Bai decided silently in his heart that after he made the elixir, he must find a few mice for clinical trials.
Otherwise, even if this thing was made by himself, he didn't dare to throw it into his mouth. Who knows if there will be any strange effects.
If he was cheated by the elixir he made, wouldn't it be a black history that he could never wash away in his lifetime.
Putting aside his thoughts, Xiao Bai looked at the cave entrance and found that it was already the next morning. He didn't expect time to pass so quickly. Ten hours had passed in a flash.
He didn't plan to leave. When he came here this time, he had plenty of water and food in his ring.
Within three months, he would never leave this cave without success.
After taking a rest and eating something, Xiao Bai started to prepare to extract the medicinal essence of blood coagulation grass and jasper flower.
However, in the following refining process, Xiao Bai found that the purification method of purple sun fruit could not be directly used on blood coagulation grass and jasper flower.
Each medicinal material has different medicinal properties, and the extraction method must be adjusted accordingly.
Purple sun fruit is hot, jasper flower is cold, and blood coagulation grass is mild. Each one must be tried again and again.
Xiao Bai also gained some insights into the medicinal properties and pharmacology in this process, especially in his special medicine refining method, to adapt little by little.
Because no one can directly instruct him in his way, other people's methods can only be used as a reference at most.
In the end, Xiao Bai finally extracted the medicinal essence of blood coagulation grass and jasper flower. Looking at the two powders in front of him that are also very different from the description on the pill recipe, Xiao Bai is a little speechless.
Will he become "Bai Xiaochun"?
Xiao Bai shook his head. The next step is to fuse the essence of the medicinal materials. According to the pill recipe, the medicinal essence of purple sun fruit and jasper flower must be fused first.
Then find the right moment of fusion to put the essence of blood coagulation grass into the cauldron, neutralize the two cold and hot medicinal properties and successfully condense into medicine.
Xiao Bai followed the process and put the two powders into the cauldron for fusion, but after a while, he felt that the resistance to the fusion of the medicinal essence was getting bigger and bigger.
Suddenly, Xiao Bai's face changed.
"Bang!"
A light sound was heard, and then black smoke floated out of the medicine cauldron.
Xiao Bai lifted the lid of the cauldron expressionlessly, and with a wave of his hand, he took away all the residue in the cauldron.
Fortunately, there was no magic core this time, otherwise the movement would not be like this, and he didn't know if this cauldron could withstand the explosion of the magic core. If not, he would have to wait for a few more days.
Xiao Bai was not frustrated about the failure. He had expected it. If he could make the elixir the first time, how would the Alchemists on the continent survive?
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai began to recall the failure.
It was fine at the beginning, but when the medicinal materials were fused, the resistance was getting bigger and bigger. It should be that the balance between the medicinal properties and the flame was not enough.
Xiao Bai took out the recipe, found several medicinal materials used in the recipe and began to read them carefully.
"Purple sun fruit, hot in nature, has higher activity after refining, jasper flower, cold in nature, has lower activity after refining, which makes it difficult to blend, and blood coagulation grass has a harmonizing effect."
It should not be a ratio problem.
Purple sun fruit has high activity, so the temperature should be lowered, while jasper flower has low activity, so the fire temperature should be increased, and the timing of blood coagulation grass harmonization should also be noted.
After finding out many reasons, Xiao Bai wrote them down with a pen.
Alchemy is a complicated process. This is a new method of alchemy, which is unique to Dou Qi Continent. Xiao Bai can only explore and summarize it bit by bit.
Xiao Bai never lacks patience for cultivation.
After summarizing, Xiao Bai started to refine medicinal materials again. This time he planned to extract a large amount of medicinal essence and be ready.
The sun rose and the moon set, and ten days had passed. At this time, Xiao Bai only had a few dozen medicinal materials around him, and the rest had all been refined into medicinal essences.
With the experience of the first success, Xiao Bai refined much faster this time.
This time, he refined 100 copies of each medicinal material. He didn't believe that this 100 medicinal materials could not have a success rate of even 1%.
After preparing these, Xiao Bai stood up and relaxed for a while. He now had the urge to vomit when looking at the three medicinal materials. In fact, the continuous refining for ten days had made him numb. He
directly transformed into a ruthless medicinal essence extraction machine. Now he can pat his chest and guarantee that he can purify these three medicinal materials with his eyes closed.
After relaxing, Xiao Bai sat cross-legged in front of the ebony tripod and took a deep breath. Success or failure depended on this one move.
After putting the essences of the two medicinal materials into the tripod, he soon came to the key link of fusion. Based on his own experience, Xiao Bai carefully controlled the flame of Ice Flame. Different medicinal materials require different temperatures. Fortunately, Xiao Bai's soul is strong and it is not difficult to control.
The first time, failed.
The second time, failed.
For the thirty-sixth time, after the previous experience, the medicinal essences of the purple sun fruit and the jasper flower finally began to show signs of fusion. Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Bai quickly put the essence of the blood coagulation grass into the medicine cauldron to catalyze the fusion of the other two medicinal materials.
As time passed, the three medicinal materials finally merged together, and there was no greater resistance like last time.
Xiao Bai knew that he was about to succeed, but the closer he got to the end, the more careful he had to be.
Finally, a small ball of purple-red viscous liquid appeared in the medicine cauldron. Xiao Bai knew that it was time to condense the pill. According to the method recorded in the pill recipe, he kept making seals in his hands. The ball of liquid in the medicine cauldron became round and rotated rapidly, gradually changing from liquid to solid.
Finally, there was only a round purple-red pill left in the medicine cauldron, floating in the flame of Ice Flame.
Xiao Bai waved his hand to open the top cover of the medicine cauldron, and a pill flew out and appeared in his hand. He looked at this pill that he had made for the first time—blood coagulation powder.
Although he didn't know who named it, it was clearly a pill, but it was called a powder, but who cares, Xiao Bai is now full of a sense of accomplishment.
He finally became an Alchemist, a first-class Alchemist.
After playing with it for a while, Xiao Bai put the blood coagulation powder into a jade bottle that he had prepared earlier. Although it was only a first-class pill, it was very memorable.
