Chapter 6: Studying Alchemy

That evening, Liu Xi, who returned home, told his parents the happy news that he had been promoted to a fighter.

Returning to his room, he began to check the gifts that Hyun Hao had prepared for him.

His eyes were shining as he looked at the ring on his hand, and he put it on his hand first. Then, soul power flowed out from the center of his eyebrows and entered the vows.

The space inside the ring is about five cubes, and inside there are several neatly stacked books and a pile of gold coins.

Regardless of the gold coins, Liu Xi paid more attention to the exercises and combat skills in these books. With all his thoughts, he took them out and looked at them one by one.

Intermediate Xuan-level technique "Heavenly Fire Refining", Xuan-level core combat skill "Fire Sword Duel", intermediate Xuan-level body combat technique "Feihong Step".

Liu Xi looked at these Xuan-level martial skills, licked his lips excitedly and said, "These are all good." There are a few thicker ones, so let's see what they have."

"Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine for Beginner Alchemists," "Healing Properties of Herbal Medicine," "Initial Solution to Introduction to Alchemy," ...

Liu Xi looked at these books, stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master prepared this for me, it's really comprehensive!" "

Liu Xi first put down the alchemy book, specially took out the "Refining Heavenly Fire," opened it and began to read carefully.

After writing down the running meridians and exercise seals, close the book and think about it again. Then he sat on the bed with his legs crossed, pinched the seal duel, and mobilized his fighting spirit to begin practicing the exercises.

The next day

Liu Xi came to Teacher Xuan Hao's mansion, and when he saw Xuan Hao, he first saluted and said, "Meet Teacher."

When Xuan Hao saw Liu Xi approaching, he stroked his beard, smiled on his arrogant face and said, "A good man here, come sit down first." Today, we are starting to learn alchemy.

"Let me first tell you the common sense of alchemy, if you want to refine medicine, you first need to have a medicine stand. An alchemist's medicine stand is as indispensable as a samurai's weapon. And the better the quality, the higher the quality of the medicine stand will help us, and the higher the quality of the refined pill. "

"In addition to the ding medicine, the flame of our refining medicine is usually a flame catalyzed by our Dou Qi, so if you want to cultivate high-quality pills, you need deep Dou Qi cultivation, and your Dou Qi cultivation must not fall."

"Of course, in fact, for us alchemists, the best flame is of course the divine alien fire that naturally breeds between heaven and earth. They were all born in the most treacherous places in the world, so they can be encountered, but not sought. Speaking of this, Xuan Hao's eyes also expressed a desire for another fire. Seeing Liu Xi's fiery gaze, he immediately shook his head again.

"And in the process of refining medicines, the tolerance of different medicinal materials to flames is also different. If you want to extract all the essence in it, it is very important to control the temperature. "

"In addition, in the process of becoming a pill, if the medicinal properties are compatible, it can successfully become a pill. If the medicinal properties are compatible, then refining is either a fryer or an elixir problem."

"Say a thousand things and ten thousand, it's better to feel it yourself, let's go, I'll show you." Hyun Hao stood up and said to Liu Xi.

"Alchemy is a quiet process, and in the process of alchemy, if you are disturbed by the outside world. If you fail to refine the medicine, you will suffer a negative reaction. In the future, when you become an alchemist, be sure to find a quiet place." Xuan Hao asked Xi as he walked.

When he entered the alchemy room, Liu Xi saw a three-legged tripod that was one meter tall. The entire body was red, the shape was exquisite, and there were birds, beasts, fish, and insects painted on it.

Then Liu Xi saw the process of refining medicine by an alchemist for the first time. The flame catalyzed by Dou Qi entered the medicine capsule, and one by one, the herbs were swallowed by the flame in the pod, and finally left behind the medicinal essence in the form of powder or paste. In the end, they merged into a cloud of emerald green liquid, which was wrapped in Xuan Hao's jade bottle of martial spirit.

"Master, this is..." Liu Xi saw that Master had finished practicing the medicine, stepped forward to look at the bottle of emerald green liquid, and asked suspiciously.

"This is called Buxue San, a pint of pills that is used externally. It is very effective in healing wounds from sword or monster bites. Hearing Liu Xi's puzzled voice, Xuan Hao took the initiative to explain.

Then Xuan Hao took out a pill and some medicinal materials from his ring, handed them to Liu Xi and said, "This is its one-way purpose, the value of the medicinal materials is not high, it is suitable for you to practice." "

"Thank you, Master." Liu Xi took the prescription and medicinal materials and thanked Xuan Hao first. Then he began to study Danfang carefully.

Then he began to refine the medicine for the first time, and then saw the medicinal herbs being turned into ashes by his own flames, and his expression was a little confused.

"Different medicinal materials have different resistance to flames, so we must control the fire." After another failure, Hyun Ho began to fix Yu He's problem.

After many failures, Liu Xi finally practiced with a ball of blood tonic powder that contained a little impurity.

"Yes, I got the key so quickly." Xuan Hao looked at Liu Xi's blood tonic with relief. 

...

After that, Liu Xi's life became more and more regular. He trained at night, and during the day he practiced martial skills and studied alchemy.
