In two days, Ye Chen refined several batches of three-patterned Qingling Pills. In addition to the ordinary quality ones for Alita to use, there were also two-patterned and three-patterned ones for reserve.
During the refining process, Ye Chen also gained a deeper understanding of this elixir. Although it was only a fourth-grade elixir, if he wanted to successfully refine it into a perfect three-patterned quality elixir, in the entire Ye family, besides himself, only his grandfather Ye Chong and several elders could do it.
Honestly, wanting to be able to do three things at once, and also to control all three flames to perfection, this requirement is really too high...
After giving the pill to Alita who had been waiting eagerly for two days, and instructing Queen Medusa to keep an eye on her, Ye Chen entered the state of refining medicine again.
Even if they are both sixth-grade elixirs, the difficulty of refining them can be different.
Although the Soul-Clearing Pill and the Soul-Protecting Pill that were previously refined for Queen Medusa were also quite difficult to make, they were nothing compared to the Fighting Spirit Pill.
Among the sixth-grade elixirs, the difficulty of refining the Douling Pill, Huangji Pill, and Pozong Pill increases linearly. According to the detailed classification, the Douling Pill is a high-grade sixth-grade elixir, while the Huangji Pill and Pozong Pill are both at the peak of the sixth-grade...
"The refining of a sixth-grade elixir makes too much noise, so it's not suitable to stay in the city. So I will be away for a few days. Hu Tian will come with me, and Caidie will take care of this place."
Queen Medusa naturally would not refuse this and agreed immediately.
Afterwards, Ye Chen and the other person went directly to a barren mountain a hundred miles away from Yu Shui City, and then found a flat ground and landed directly there.
On the lush green mountain peaks, silver-white flames loomed in the green shade...
Countless stars fell on the huge Star Cauldron, illuminating the mysterious patterns on the cauldron, making them seem alive.
Warming the cauldron is the first step in refining medicine. The higher the quality of the cauldron, the longer it takes to warm up. As for the Starry Sky Cauldron, which ranks in the top five of the Heavenly Cauldron Rankings, warming it up takes a full five minutes.
You know, Ye Chen's spark now has a temperature comparable to that of strange fire!
Five minutes later, Ye Chen took a look at the many medicinal herbs he had placed on the ground early on, recalled the details recorded in the pill recipe, and waved his hand. The blood-red blood python branch that looked like a twisted little snake flew into the medicine cauldron.
As soon as the blood python branch entered the medicine cauldron, the originally quiet silver-white sparks in the cauldron swallowed it up like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey, and in the blink of an eye, began to wither rapidly.
Ye Chen's attention was focused on the medicine cauldron. Although the flames in the cauldron were burning fiercely, he suppressed them to a very low level. Therefore, the flames seemed fierce, but they did not burn the blood python branch to ashes.
As time passed, the blood python branch began to wither gradually. During this process, fine blood-colored water droplets seeped out from the surface of the blood python branch, and finally slid down along the surface, suspended above the flame, and kept rolling and dripping.
As the flames continued to burn and the blood-colored water droplets seeped in, the blood-red color on the surface of the blood python branch quickly faded. After a moment, the fire fungus completely turned into a withered gray...
At this time, the pure medicinal power contained in the blood python branch had been forced out by the flames, and therefore, its body had completely turned into a pile of useless waste.
With a light wave of his hand, the withered blood python branch flew out from the medicine cauldron and finally fell on the grass beside it. The moment it hit the ground, it turned into a pile of gray ashes and scattered in the wind.
Ye Chen performed this series of operations smoothly, which also demonstrated his current alchemy skills. He was already proficient in refining sixth-grade pills.
This is still due to the breakthrough in cultivation and the great improvement in the control over his own soul.
At this time, inside the Star Cauldron, a ball of blood-red liquid was spinning inside the medicine cauldron, like a blood-colored bead.
These blood-red liquids are the pure medicinal power extracted from the blood python branches. The energy contained in them is astonishingly huge.
After these blood-red liquids condensed, they did not quietly follow the refining process like Ye Chen did in the past. Instead, strands of blood spread out quietly. The blood contained extremely powerful energy. When each blood strand hit the inner wall of the cauldron, crisp sounds of metal colliding could be heard.
This was within Ye Chen's expectations.
As the level of the refined elixirs continues to increase, not only are great demands placed on the alchemist's alchemy skills, but the alchemist's medicine cauldron is also of paramount importance.
If the medicine cauldron wasn't of good quality, the impact of these blood threads alone would be enough to penetrate the cauldron, and then there would be no need to even think about refining the medicine...
Unfortunately, this level of attack had no effect on the Star Cauldron.
With a light wave of his hand, the sparks in the medicine cauldron suddenly burst out, and once the blood threads were touched by the flames, they retreated rapidly as if frightened.
In this way, under the large-scale encirclement of the sparks, the originally dense blood threads were once again suppressed back into the ball of blood-red liquid. Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding sparks, they no longer dared to break out at will.
"puff!"
A cluster of silver-white sparks broke away from the large group under Ye Chen's distracted control, and finally hovered under the blood-colored liquid. As the flames rose, an extremely hot temperature erupted. For a moment, the surface of the blood-colored liquid suddenly boiled, and tiny bubbles kept stirring.
As the bubbles agitated, suddenly, wisps of extremely thin gray smoke rose from them. These were the impurities contained in it. If one wanted to refine pills of good quality, these impurities had to be completely removed. Otherwise, it might be difficult to make the pills due to the mixing of impurities.
Just like that, after about half an hour, the refining and purification of the blood python branch was finally completed. Ye Chen poured the refined medicinal liquid along with the sparks into a jade bottle and sealed it. Then he continued to refine other medicinal ingredients...
This is a very special method of preserving liquid medicine, which is only circulated among many high-level alchemists.
The advantage of this method is that it can keep the liquid medicine at the same temperature and purity as when it was first made, and it will not be contaminated by impurities in the air...
However, to achieve this step, the alchemist's flame control level is also very high. The jade bottle is brittle. If the temperature is slightly higher, the jade bottle will be burned and exploded. If caught off guard, the refined medicine will be completely scrapped.
This was the control technique that Ye Chen's ancestor Ye Xun personally taught him when he was a child. He was able to use it successfully after returning to the Ye family after his first travels, and after practicing many times.
