Extraordinary Cultivation Continent

After Zhang Chaofan finished pouring the crushing, grinding, stirring and other parts of the pretreatment device, he used his spiritual consciousness to open the furnace cover, and used his spiritual consciousness to wrap the few remaining alloy melts in the furnace, fly out of the furnace, and let them stay The temperature dropped in the air. Since there was no reheating, the molten alloy staying in the air quickly solidified. After the temperature dropped completely, he collected the remaining alloy into the Na Ring.

He took out some low-level alchemy materials, put them into the newly poured device, and injected mana into the formation to activate it. Zhang Chaofan looked directly at it with the Taixu Purple Immortal Eyes, and found that the device could operate normally, and processed The efficiency of the materials was in line with his expectations. He was overjoyed. He felt that it was his first time to refine a weapon, and he had achieved initial success by using a unique method, which showed that he was very talented in refining weapons. Zhang Chaofan was very satisfied with his talent in weapon refining and thought to himself: "It seems that smart people often get twice the result with half the effort."

After the previous physical treatment device is completed, the next chemical treatment device can then be refined. Zhang Chaofan withdrew the magic power in the control handle, and the fire went out. After the temperature of the furnace dropped, he carefully cleaned the furnace. This was a necessary task to ensure that the next refining process could be completed. Smoothness and success guaranteed. Because Zhang Chaofan has worked on earth and developed some good working habits. He knows that some tasks in work cannot be done easily. Only by carrying out the work strictly in accordance with the designed steps can we ensure that we will not make mistakes and ensure that Next work efficiency. A rigorous work attitude is also indispensable in weapon refining and is also a strong guarantee for the success of weapon refining.

After cleaning the furnace, Zhang Chaofan took out an appropriate amount of crystal ore from the Najie and threw them into the furnace. He also took out a small amount of mithril ore and threw it into the furnace. Then he covered the furnace lid, held the handle, and As before, Zhang Chaofan injected a trace of mana into the handle, started the furnace fire system, and quickly raised the temperature in the furnace to the appropriate temperature. Zhang Chaofan kept the furnace temperature constant and quickly smelted the two ores at a constant temperature.

It didn't take much, and both ores were melted. Zhang Chaofan continued to control the fire temperature and smelted the separated impurities individually, allowing these impurities to be directly vaporized and discharged from the exhaust hole out of the furnace. Zhang Chaofan mixed two useful melts together. The crystal melt was colorless and transparent, while the mithril melt was sparkling white. Due to the small amount of mithril, when the two were mixed together, a The new melt is still transparent and colorless, but it is just a little more transparent. This time, Zhang Chaofan originally wanted to open the furnace lid directly, but then he thought that if he opened the lid, the firepower under the furnace would need to be greater to keep the melt in a liquid state. Otherwise, the temperature in the furnace would drop, and the melt would It may re-condensate and have to be re-melted, which would be too troublesome. So he decided not to open the furnace cover first, although opening the furnace cover would be much more efficient for pouring. He still adopted the previous method, using his consciousness to control the melt to form filaments, and then poured it onto the designed mold. It only took him about two hours to complete the pouring of the dissolution, distillation, separation and other components. . Of course, the connections between the components were poured together when he poured the components.

After all the components are completed, the alchemy material preprocessing component that will be placed in the alchemy furnace has been successfully refined. Since there is no trial, Zhang Chaofan is not sure that this device will be successful, can be used, and achieve the expected results. Some parts that will be poured later have not been tested yet. After the poured part has completely cooled down, Zhang Chaofan first places the crushed, ground, and stirred material powder into the dissolving part, and then injects an appropriate amount of water into the dissolving part to allow the powder to be fully dissolved in the water. , and then these solutions automatically flow into the distillation component. During the distillation process, different useful components are controlled by the array to form vapor, which enter the separation component one after another, condense into different crystals, and come out from the outlet. Zhang Chaofan put them into different containers. This process takes very little time and can be said to be completed in an instant.

Needless to say, the purity of these crystals of different useful ingredients has reached 100%. It is conceivable that with such ultra-high purity component crystals, the efficacy of the elixirs refined from these crystals must be extraordinary.

Seeing that the pretreatment device was successfully refined, Zhang Chaofan remade the molds for each component according to his previous ideas, and made some optimizations to the formations carved on them. The purpose is to make this pretreatment component more convenient and faster to use, and use less time in material pretreatment. He repeated the refining process just now and refined a better pre-processing component. He installed the pre-processing component into a high-grade alchemy furnace with good functions, and the opening of the broken component was flush with the mouth of the alchemy furnace, and fixed the pre-processing component in the alchemy furnace with fixing materials. , such a new alchemy furnace that he transformed was successfully produced. Although the other pre-processing component was worse, Zhang Chaofan still installed it in another alchemy furnace for later use. Through this wave of operations, Zhang Chaofan also gained a certain understanding of weapon refining. He felt that if he wanted to become proficient in weapon refining, he had to practice more, so that practice makes perfect. However, Zhang Chaofan doesn't want to spend all his time on refining weapons now. Refining weapons is just a process for him to improve the alchemy furnace. If he wants to be proficient in weapon refining, he feels that it is not too late to practice the art of weapons when he has time in the future.

Zhang Chaofan has such an alchemy furnace, so the next step is to try to start refining elixirs. Only by refining special elixirs can the peripheral areas be solved. Because of the incompleteness of the way of heaven, everyone generally cannot break through the Nascent Soul. environmental dilemma.

Zhang Chaofan did not start refining elixir immediately. He attaches great importance to the accumulation of knowledge. Every time Zhang Chaofan does something, he will be fully prepared as long as time allows. Because he felt that blindly refining elixirs without any knowledge of alchemy would only waste time and materials and not get the results he wanted. Because of this, he took out the "General Guide to Alchemy" and read it carefully. Zhang Chaofan understands very well the principle of "sharpening the knife without chopping firewood".

The "General Guide to Alchemy" is divided into several parts. First of all, what caught Zhang Chaofan's eyes was the general principles of alchemy. This part mainly introduced the starting point and purpose of alchemy. The starting point of alchemy is to refine different medicinal materials and other materials through different techniques. After the useful ingredients in the materials are fully mixed, under the action of specific external forces, the refiner wants to obtain the medicine with specific effects. Pill. The purpose of alchemy is mostly to improve the realm of cultivation, change cultivation talents and qualifications, enhance physical fitness, cure diseases and injuries, detoxify and prevent epidemics, etc.

Then the "General Guide to Alchemy" focuses on introducing various schools of alchemy. One school is called Kusaki-ryu, which is a well-known school that uses plants such as herbs as the main medicinal materials and cooperates with alchemy furnaces to refine elixirs; there is also a school called Jinshi-ryu, which uses minerals. The school that uses medicinal materials such as bones, bones, fur, blood, etc. to make alchemy; but what is popular now is neither the herbal style nor the gold and stone style. Instead, the materials for alchemy include both herbs and minerals. Today’s alchemy is actually a A mixed genre. Zhang Chaofan didn't care about the alchemy school, as long as he could refine the elixir he wanted, so he just briefly browsed the content about the school and let it go.

Next, various alchemy techniques are introduced. Some of them put the materials into the alchemy furnace one after another in order; some of them put the materials into the alchemy furnace all at once; some of them classify the materials and put them in batches according to categories, etc. Not the same. In addition, the temperature control techniques and precautions in the elixir furnace were introduced in detail. Different materials require different temperatures to ensure the retention of useful ingredients and the removal of impurities, thereby improving the quality and quantity of the finished elixir.

It focuses on the many methods and techniques for integrating the effective components of materials with different properties. These methods and techniques are manifested in different application techniques, which are roughly two schools: mandatory techniques and gentle and guiding techniques. The forced style uses one's own powerful mana and consciousness (mental power) to force the effective ingredients of materials with different properties to fuse together. This method consumes one's own mana. It is difficult for alchemists who do not have enough self-cultivation to use this method. There is a method to refine elixirs that are higher than their own realm. Most alchemists can only refine elixirs that match and adapt to their own realm. This is why alchemists of different levels can generally only refine elixirs of corresponding levels. The main reason for the medicine; the Huairou guidance school uses guidance methods to smoothly fuse the active ingredients of materials with different properties. For example, using fusion formations during the fusion process, or using fusion agents, etc., this method is not only easy , and the consumption of one's own mana and mental power is relatively small. Using this fusion method, one can generally barely try to refine elixirs that are much higher than one's own realm. The success of elixir refining largely depends on the success of the fusion process. If you cannot even fuse different components, how can you proceed to the next step of seal carving formation and collect elixirs?

The final elixir collection is also very critical. Even if all the previous steps can be completed beyond the standard, as long as the elixir collection is not successful or is not perfect, then the alchemy can only be a failure, even if it is not a complete failure, the elixir obtained will also be a failure. If it is not perfect, or even has major flaws, even if people take it, it will not achieve the corresponding expected results, and it may even cause certain harm to the user. If the elixir is used to treat diseases and injuries, it will delay the treatment of diseases and save lives. Therefore, alchemy is a very rigorous matter, and there is no room for sloppiness.

This third part is the most important content of this "General Guide to Alchemy". Zhang Chaofan spent three days reading it carefully, striving to fully understand it, and not wanting to let go of any useful content. After he was sure that he had memorized and mastered this part of the content, he continued to read and understand.

Although the following content is not as important as the third part, it is still necessary to understand and master it. This part of the content teaches people how to identify, identify and preserve elixirs. There are many ways to identify and identify elixirs. Commonly used methods include looking, smelling, tasting and other methods. Seeing means observing the appearance of the elixir, and determining the type and grade of the elixir from various aspects such as appearance, elixir pattern, color, and logo; smelling means using the nose, a human organ, to identify the elixir by smelling its smell. Type and grade, this method can only be used frequently by people with relatively sensitive and developed olfactory organs. Most people only regard it as an auxiliary method; tasting means eating the whole pill or part of the pill that needs to be identified. Next, use the most direct way to identify the type and grade of the elixir and many other information. The preservation of elixirs is also very important. elixirs with different attributes should be stored in containers made of different materials. For example, ordinary elixirs only need to be stored in ordinary jade bottles. However, if they are elixirs with fire attributes, It is best to store it in a bottle made of warm jade, otherwise the fire attribute of the elixir may be completely or partially lost, resulting in the elixir being weakened or completely ineffective.

"The General Guide to Alchemy" is appended with many ancient elixir prescriptions at the end, which is a rare treasure! If you need money one day, you can select a few of them to auction, and you will get a lot of money. He saw that there were about thousands of these prescriptions in total, covering all aspects. There were prescriptions for improving qualifications, there were prescriptions for improving cultivation, there were prescriptions suitable for physical training, there were prescriptions for treating... There are elixirs for illness, there are elixirs for healing, and there are elixirs that are helpful for spiritual cultivation. Some are used to break through the bottleneck of cultivation realm, some are used to increase soul power cultivation, and so on. Zhang Chaofan searched purposefully. He wanted to find a prescription for breaking through the Nascent Soul Realm. This prescription should be able to help people successfully enter the Realm of Transformation.

After Zhang Chaofan searched for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up. He saw an ancient elixir called the Transformation Shen Dan. He read the elixir in detail and fell into deep thought. He wanted to figure it out. The principle contained in the elixir is what ingredients allow the practitioner's Nascent Soul to combine with the soul to form the Yuanshen. There are not many materials in this elixir, that is, only a few types. Why does it have such a powerful effect? He started by analyzing the respective effects of these materials, and finally he was full of infinite respect for the person who invented this elixir. It takes a lot of fantastic ideas and unconstrained thinking to come up with such a wonderful elixir. !

The ingredients used in this elixir are: ginseng fruit, soul-strengthening root, bright lotus leaf, and gelatin grass. However, he added another ingredient himself, which is rootless water. This recipe does not require many ingredients, and including rootless water, there are only five kinds. The reason why Zhang Chaofan thinks this elixir is magical is because of its conception. According to the introduction in the elixir, the great master who came up with this elixir in ancient times also broke through from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Divine Transformation Realm. He has never been able to find a way. After going through all kinds of hardships, he finally got an opportunity and stepped into the realm of divine transformation during an experience.

Because this powerful man was trapped in the Nascent Soul Realm for a long time, he did not want others to experience his same predicament. He analyzed that the key to crossing from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Divine Transformation Realm is to combine the Nascent Soul with the Soul to evolve the Soul. As long as the Nascent Soul and the Soul merge smoothly, it is not difficult to produce the Soul. He thought that since the key lies in the combination of the Nascent Soul and the Soul, then he would just find a substance to bond the Nascent Soul and the Soul together. Therefore, he chose a material with strong adhesion, the glue source grass. , this material is not a medicinal material, but a material that can produce strong adhesive force. It is produced in large quantities and is easy to find. It can be said that it is an easy-to-obtain material. There is a component in the ginseng fruit that easily combines with Yuanying and strengthens it. This component is easily attracted to the adhesive in the glue source grass. In addition, there are corresponding components in Soul-Strengthening Root and Bright Lotus Leaf. It is easy to combine with the soul, and is attracted to the adhesive in the glue source grass, so that the Nascent Soul and the soul can be easily fused together through these intermediate media.

After Zhang Chaofan understood the principle of the Divine Transformation Pill, he once again understood the formula carefully and kept in mind the refining methods and techniques listed in the formula, especially for those who were prone to refining. I want to pay more attention to the details of failure in making the elixir. I want to try my best to avoid the failure of elixir refining due to neglect of these details when I actually refine the elixir of transformation. Zhang Chaofan was preparing for a rainy day. He didn't want to make mistakes when refining the elixir, which would lower the success rate of the elixir, waste materials, and affect the efficiency of the elixir.

After making all the theoretical preparations, Zhang Chaofan decided to give alchemy a real try. Although he has never really been exposed to alchemy, logically speaking, he should not aim too high. He should start from the basics like an ordinary alchemist and practice and improve his alchemy skills step by step. However, Zhang Chaofan is very confident. He feels that he can surpass others. People can just start from the alchemy level corresponding to their current realm. There is no need to start from the basics. You can omit the step-by-step process. At most, you only need to fail once or twice. However, I haven't really tried to refine the elixir yet. Whether it can be done or not can be known only after starting the practice. He didn't want to just dream about it, he wanted to actually take action.

Zhang Chaofan took out ginseng fruit, bright lotus leaves, and gelatin grass from Najie. However, there were no ready-made soul-strengthening roots and rootless water in Najie. Although there is no ready-made soul-strengthening root in Najie, he has a safe world. After he communicated with Lvzhu, Lvzhu quickly gave it to him. As for rootless water, it is actually relatively pure water. The dissolving power of this water is much stronger than ordinary water. This is not a problem for him, because he has the distillation technology on earth and can easily obtain it. He only needs to use ordinary water and put it together with other materials into the pretreatment device of the alchemy furnace that he modified, because the pretreatment device has a distillation function.

He put the four materials including ginseng fruit, soul-strengthening root, bright lotus leaf, and gum source grass into the elixir furnace pretreatment device according to the amounts given in the elixir recipe. Zhang Chaofan injected mana to activate the array in the pretreatment device. Method, let the pretreatment device work. After a while, several materials have removed impurities and turned into useful crystals.

Then, he estimated the amount of rootless water needed to dissolve these crystals, took out an appropriate amount of ordinary water, and injected them individually into the pretreatment device. After distillation, sufficient rootless water (distilled water) was obtained. After these intermediate links are completed, all you need to do next is to organically fuse these ingredients together, and then inscribe the several formations given on the pill recipe. After the furnace is successfully opened, the God Transformation Pill will be ready. The refining was successful.

If you want to know what happened next, the next chapter will be more exciting.
