Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 34 First Grade

According to the basics of alchemy, the purity of the essence extracted from medicinal materials during the refining process is divided into different levels. Generally, an apprentice alchemist is considered qualified only 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 can barely reach the efficacy of a high-grade elixir.

The formula for the Blood Coagulation Powder contains detailed descriptions of the various purity levels of the three medicinal ingredients, with a minimum of 60% and a maximum of 90%.

Xiao Bai discovered that the description of the 90% purity of the Purple Yang Fruit was somewhat different from the lavender powder in his hand.

Ziyang fruit is 90% pure: 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 was exactly the same color, and did not contain a darker part as described.

Moreover, the powder is crystal clear, and if you look closely, you can see a faint green color in it, which is almost invisible.

"I don't know if this variant of the stuff I refined will have any effect on the final product, the blood coagulation powder. I don't think there should be any problems!"

Xiao Bai silently decided in his heart that after he made the elixir, he would find a few mice to conduct clinical trials.

Otherwise, even if this thing was made by himself, he would not dare to put it into his mouth. Who knows if it would have some strange medicinal effects.

If you are cheated by the elixir you made, it would be a complete black history that you can never wash away in your 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 had no intention of leaving, and this time he brought plenty of water and food in his ring.

Within three months, I will never leave this cave unless I succeed.

After taking a rest and eating something, Xiao Bai immediately started to prepare to extract the medicinal essence of the hemoclotting grass and jade flower.

However, in the subsequent refining process, Xiao Bai discovered that the purification method of Zi Yang Fruit could not be directly used on Hemoclotting Grass and Jade Flower.

Each medicinal material has different medicinal properties, so the extraction method must be adjusted accordingly.

Ziyang fruit is hot in nature, jade flower is cold in nature, and blood-clotting herbs are mild in nature. Each one should be tried again and again.

During this process, Xiao Bai also gained some insights into the medicinal properties and pharmacology of medicines, especially in his own special method of refining medicines, as he adapted to it bit by bit.

Because no one can directly guide him in his own way, other people's ways can only be used as a reference at best.

Finally, Xiao Bai finally extracted the medicinal essence of the hemoclotting grass and the jade flower. Looking at the two kinds of powders in front of him which were very different from the descriptions on the pill recipe, Xiao Bai was a little speechless.

I won’t become “Bai Xiaochun”, right?

Xiao Bai shook his head. The next step was to fuse the essence of the medicinal materials. According to the recipe, the medicinal essence of the purple yang fruit and the jade flower had to be fused first.

Then find the right moment for fusion and put the essence of blood coagulation grass into the cauldron, neutralize the two cold and hot medicinal properties and successfully condense them into medicine.

Xiao Bai followed the process and first put the two powders into the cauldron to fuse them, but after a while, he felt that the resistance to the fusion of the medicinal essences was getting stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, Xiao Bai's expression changed.

"Oh!"

A slight 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 furnace.

Fortunately, there is no magic core this time, otherwise the noise would not be like this. Also, I don’t know if this cauldron can withstand the explosion of the magic core. If not, I will have to wait for a few more days.

Xiao Bai was not frustrated by the failure. He had expected it. If he could make the elixir the first time, how would the alchemists on the mainland survive? Thinking of this, Xiao Bai began to recall the failure.

It was fine at the beginning, but when the herbs were being fused, I felt the resistance getting greater and greater. It should be that the balance between the medicinal properties and the flames was not enough.

Xiao Bai took out the pill recipe, found the several medicinal herbs used in the recipe and began to read them carefully.

"Purple Sun Fruit is hot in nature, and its activity increases after extraction. Jade Flower is cold in nature, and its activity decreases after extraction, making it difficult for them to blend. Blood Clotting Grass has a harmonizing effect."

It shouldn't be a ratio issue.

Ziyang fruit has high activity, so the temperature should be lowered, while jade flower has low activity, so the temperature should be raised. The timing of harmonizing with hemoclotting grass should also be noted.

After finding out many reasons, Xiao Bai wrote them down with a pen.

Alchemy is a complicated process, and this is a new method of alchemy, unique to the Douqi Continent. Xiao Bai can only explore and summarize it bit by bit.

Xiao Bai never lacks patience when it comes to cultivation.

After summarizing, Xiao Bai started to refine the medicinal materials again. This time he planned to extract a large amount of the essence of the medicinal materials and be prepared.

The sun rose and the moon set, and ten days passed. At this time, Xiao Bai only had dozens of medicinal herbs around him, and the rest had all been refined into medicinal essences.

With the experience of the first success, Xiao Bai refined it much faster this time.

This time, one hundred portions of each medicinal ingredient were extracted, and he didn't believe that it was impossible for these one hundred medicinal ingredients to have less than one percent success rate.

After preparing these, Xiao Bai stood up and relaxed. He now felt like vomiting when looking at the three medicinal herbs. In fact, the continuous refining for the past ten days had made him numb.

He directly transformed himself into a ruthless machine for extracting medicinal essences. Now he could guarantee with confidence that he could purify these three medicinal ingredients 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 essence of the two medicinal materials into the cauldron, they soon came to the critical link of fusion. Xiao Bai carefully controlled the flame of Binghuo based on his own experience. Different medicinal materials required different temperatures. Fortunately, Xiao Bai's soul was strong and it was not difficult to control it.

The first time, failed.

The second time, failed.

For the thirty-sixth time, after previous experience, the medicinal essences of the purple sun fruit and the jade flower finally began to show signs of fusion. Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Bai hurriedly put the blood coagulation grass essence into the medicine cauldron, allowing it to catalyze the fusion of the other two medicinal materials.

As time passed, the three medicinal herbs 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 medicine 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 with his hands. The ball of liquid medicine in the medicine cauldron became round and spun rapidly, gradually changing from liquid to solid.

Finally, there was only a round purple-red pill left in the medicine cauldron, floating in the flames of Binghuo.

Xiao Bai waved his hand to open the lid of the medicine cauldron, and a pill flew out and appeared in his hand. He looked at this pill, the first one he made - the Blood Coagulation Powder.

Although he didn't know who named it, it was clearly a pill but was said to be a powder. But who cares? Xiao Bai now felt a great sense of accomplishment.

He finally became an alchemist, a first-grade alchemist.

After playing with it for a while, Xiao Bai put the blood clotting powder into a jade bottle that he had prepared earlier. Although it was only a first-grade pill, it was very commemorative.
