The Fragrance Falls Ninefold

Chapter 8 A chance

Just then I learned that the Xianyun Sect’s previous assessments were divided into two parts, one of which was knowledge of herbs, and there was no problem with Xiangluo in this step. But another alchemy task put her in trouble.

 She did know how to make pills in her previous life, but pills and elixirs are two different things. Although she often read fantasy novels in the past, she didn't know how to make elixirs.

If you don't know how to make elixirs, the ones left behind may not be very big, and you can only be a handyman disciple who grows medicinal materials and does some chores.

She came to Xianyun Sect because she wanted to learn alchemy, but she didn’t want to be a handyman disciple. What should she do? So much so that she couldn't sleep well at night.

 She got up early to work the next day, but she couldn't sleep.

When the shopkeepers and others came, they saw that she had picked out a lot of medicinal materials, and they were even more satisfied with her. She is really a diligent boy. Who knew she started working so early because she was too worried to sleep.

 All the medicinal materials were selected in one morning. The shopkeeper was very generous and did not let her do any other work. Dinner and accommodation remained the same.

Last night and all morning, she couldn't figure out a way, so she wanted to try to see if she could make the elixir before the alchemy test.

 But making alchemy requires an alchemy furnace, medicinal materials, and prescriptions, and she has none of them.

After lunch, Xiangluo told the shopkeeper that she wanted to buy an alchemy furnace. The shopkeeper said enthusiastically: "Young master, go to the shop and take a look. If you like the alchemy furnace, I will give you the lowest price."

The shopkeeper has actually had a very good impression of Yan Xiangluo in the past two days. Seeing that she came to take the assessment at such a young age, he felt even more pity for her.

Yu Xiangluo didn't have to aim too high. She chose a medium alchemy furnace and spent ten yuan of low-grade spiritual stones. This was a friendly price, but it was really not cheap.

It's not that she doesn't want to buy a low-grade alchemy furnace. The shopkeeper said that the low-grade alchemy furnace can't control the heat well and the alchemy furnace will break down easily when the alchemy furnace is exploded.

Although she has no shortage of spiritual stones for the time being, as the original owner’s parents left them for her as well as the rewards given by the royal family selected by the Qingyun Sect, she will have to buy all the medicinal materials for alchemy in the future. There are so many spiritual stones that she doesn’t need to spend them.

 Besides, spiritual stones can not only be used as money, but are also the main cultivation resources. The spiritual energy in them can be directly absorbed for cultivation.

  If you buy two low-level alchemy furnaces, they are equivalent to the price of one medium-level alchemy furnace. It is better to buy a stronger one in one step.

 Now she does not expect to have a precious alchemy furnace like in fantasy novels, as long as she can make elixirs without going bad.

Who can say for sure in the future? Maybe I will have a chance to get a treasure quilt pill furnace.

Seeing that the medicine shop also sold some books on the needs of alchemists, her eyes lit up. She browsed for a while and selected a most basic alchemy book. The key is that there are no good books, otherwise these people would be thousands of miles away. Why do you come all the way to Xianyun Sect to study?

She chose another encyclopedia of medicinal herbs. She wanted to use it to see if there were any herbs she didn't know. She had to be familiar with them all. Who knew which one to take the test on.

She didn’t expect to fall in the eyes of the alchemy master of the Xianyun Sect, as long as she could get into the exam and work as a handyman to give her a chance to learn.

The alchemy book contains three of the most commonly used elementary elixir recipes, as well as refining methods, which is already very good for her who knows nothing about them.

 This recipe should be something an alchemist knows, otherwise it cannot be sold just like this.

 She asked for three copies of each of the medicinal materials needed for the three primary elixirs. Tomorrow was the test time. She immediately returned to the house where she lived, opened the book and read, preparing to try to refine the elixir herself. It doesn't matter if there is no one to guide her. In her last life, she just read books and practiced by herself. She developed good medical skills at a young age. The pills she made are also the most effective among her family members. OK

 She didn’t believe that it wouldn’t work now.

Half an hour later, she finished reading the Baicao Book. She was glad in her heart. Fortunately, she bought this book to read. Otherwise, she would have been in doubt. There were many herbs here that she had never seen in her previous life, and the original owner didn't know about them. After all, the original owner didn't know either. Learn to make alchemy.

 Fortunately, even though he was reborn, his super memory is still there, and he has almost a photographic memory.

Then she picked up the alchemy book and started reading it. Soon, she understood the book and the method of alchemy, but she didn't know how it would be in practice.

 There are three steps in making alchemy. The first step is to refine the medicinal materials; the second step is to purify the medicinal liquid; the third step is to condense the elixir.

 It seems very simple, but she knows that every step is not that easy. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people who wouldn’t achieve much throughout their lives.

Took out the ingredients for the primary blood-replenishing pill, placed them in three parts, and took out the pill furnace. She decided to try to use her own fire power to make the pill first. Therefore, she did not buy the fire stone for making the pill. She thinks her fire power makes it easier to control fire.

Although there are only three steps in making alchemy, each step is related to the temperature of the fire, so controlling the fire is very important.

With her spiritual power moving, a small flame fell under the alchemy furnace. She observed the heat of the alchemy furnace, and then tried to throw in a medicinal plant.

 The primary blood-tonifying elixir has only thirteen medicinal materials, which is the smallest number of medicinal materials among the primary elixir recipes. It is also the elixir that beginners will refine.

 After the first medicinal plant was thrown in, it was quickly melted by the alchemy furnace. Fortunately, she had experience in making pills in her previous life, so she did not make the medicinal herbs into paste.

She hurriedly threw in the second medicinal herb and stared at the alchemy furnace with great nervousness. She was mainly distracted by using her spiritual power to control the fire. Her multitasking showed how focused she was.

After throwing in all thirteen medicinal herbs, she looked at the turbid liquid in the alchemy furnace. She knew that the first step was successful, and now she had to proceed to the second step, purification.

Purification is to remove the impurities from the medicinal solution, leaving only the medicinal part.

This level is actually similar to how she made pills before, only more precise. After all, purification directly determines the color of the pill you refine.

 How to determine the quality of an elixir? The first thing to look at is the color, then the roundness, and then how much medicinal properties are retained.

Although this book did not mention it, based on her previous experience of reading fantasy novels, high-quality elixirs will also have elixir patterns, and golden elixir patterns are a symbol of perfect quality elixirs.

Now it seems that the fantasy novels she used to read out of boredom were not in vain, and now they are put to use. At least making alchemy for the first time does not feel so strange to her.

However, she will not aim too high and just pray that she can refine the elixir before the alchemy test. Even outer disciples are better than handymen, at least they have the opportunity to learn.

In fact, she will stay even if she is a handyman. Most sects recruit disciples every three years, and the maximum age is fifteen. She is thirteen this year, which is already considered older among the new disciples. The next time she recruits disciples She was already sixteen years old, too old, so she only had this chance.
