Chapter 45: First experience in refining medicine

The prices of goods in this world, five or six hundred gold coins, can allow an ordinary family to live a worry-free life.

"Here are two simple recipes. Take a look at them first and then practice them yourself." After Frank said that, he patted Gu Fengchen on the shoulder and turned to leave.

After Frank left, Gu Fengchen took a deep breath.

Everything is moving in a good direction.

By now, Xiao Yan should not have had his Dou Qi devoured by Yao Lao, and the main storyline of Doupo has not yet begun, but he can already embark on the path of an alchemist. This is simply a perfect start.

He is now a four-star Dou Master, but his Dou Qi is as strong as iron. When the Dou Qi is refined by the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame, there is no depletion of Dou Qi caused by the rapid improvement.

At the fundamental level, there was no bad impact at all.

The second is the soul. Gu Fengchen feels that his soul perception is extremely terrifying. This should be the benefit brought to him by being a human in two lives.

In addition to these, the combination of Gu Fengchen's skills and fighting techniques is also quite dazzling. At least in the fighting master stage, he has no rivals at all.

Gathering his thoughts, he focused his attention on the two pill recipes.

He took out the pitch-black medicine cauldron from his storage ring.

After reviewing the recipe for the elixir as well as the amount and temperature required for refining the medicine, he slowly placed his palm on the medicine cauldron.

He carefully drew out a weak wisp of the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame.

The main reason was that the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame was too overbearing. Gu Fengchen was afraid that if he used it directly, not only would the medicinal materials be burned, but even the primary medicine cauldron would be burned into a pile of slag.

A wisp of golden flame, wrapped in fighting spirit, quickly passed through the meridians, then passed through the palm of the hand and shuttled into the medicine cauldron.

Soon, a wisp of the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame began to burn inside the pitch-black medicine cauldron.

The next moment, Gu Fengchen drew out a very thin green fighting spirit and injected it into the medicine cauldron.

After the green wood-attributed fighting spirit entered, it seemed as if a chemical reaction occurred.

The flame in the furnace, which had been a little restless, suddenly calmed down!
Gu Fengchen slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and after making sure that he had controlled the flames, he calmed his mind and began to refine the medicinal materials.

Gu Fengchen selected a medicinal herb and threw it into the medicine cauldron. However, the moment the herb came into contact with the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame, it withered and turned black. In just a few seconds, only a layer of ash was left.

Gu Fengchen was stunned for a moment. "The temperature of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame is more difficult to control than ordinary flames. We can only take it slowly."

He took a deep breath. He didn't pay for the herbs himself, so if they were ruined, they were ruined.

He continued to try.

However, the next ten attempts all ended in failure.

After swallowing his saliva, Gu Fengchen put in another medicinal herb.

However, this medicinal herb only lasted for a short while before turning into ashes.

After twenty failures, Gu Fengchen finally figured out the trick of extracting medicinal herbs.

Fortunately, Frank was generous enough, otherwise he would not have been able to withstand such treatment.

At this moment, Gu Fengchen's body seemed to be exhausted. He was gasping for breath, and his chest kept heaving.

The consumption of fighting spirit during alchemy is also extremely terrifying.

He adjusted himself and continued to refine the medicine.

Until the thirty-first time.

He threw another herb into the medicine cauldron. After the herb entered the cauldron, the flame controlled by Gu Fengchen, the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame, slowly burned the herb at a temperature that was neither hot nor cold.

This time, the medicinal herb did not turn into ashes directly, but a drop of red liquid seeped out from its surface. As more and more liquid seeped out, the medicinal herb withered quickly as if its essence was sucked away. Soon, the extraction was completed.

Gu Fengchen collected the red liquid in the medicine cauldron into a jade bottle and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

This medicine refining is indeed a very laborious task. If you are not careful, you will destroy a herb and have to start all over again. However, everything is difficult at the beginning. Gu Fengchen has gradually mastered how to control the temperature of the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame through practice. Since he succeeded in the first step, the remaining extraction will be much simpler.

However, Gu Fengchen must rest for a while now, because the fighting spirit in his body has been consumed too much. If he continues, the medicine refining will definitely fail due to the exhaustion of fighting spirit.

He lay on the bed somewhat weakly, his mind filled with the thought of having a good sleep.

After a while, after a struggle between laziness and diligence, he finally sat up, made the hand seal for cultivation, and then slowly closed his eyes.

After all, at this time, the fighting spirit in the body is on the verge of exhaustion, and the effect of cultivation is the best.

Gu Fengchen sat cross-legged to rest and recover his fighting spirit. An hour later, he opened his eyes again and continued to refine the elixir.

The essence has been extracted, and the next step is to melt the pill.

As the name suggests, the so-called elixir melting means blending the essences of various extracted medicinal materials together.

This is the most difficult step. After all, the medicinal properties of medicinal materials are different. If the flame is not controlled well, the medicinal materials extracted before will be wasted.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Fengchen put the herbs into the medicine cauldron one by one.

At this time, the importance of wood-attributed fighting spirit is reflected.

The process of melting the elixir requires the catalysis of wood energy. After all, most medicinal materials belong to the wood element. Wood energy can neutralize the medicinal properties and catalyze the fusion of the elixir.

As the fire continued to burn, the medicinal herbs of different colors began to gradually blend together.

In the golden flames, the outline of a pill slowly emerged.

Gu Fengchen calmed his mind and began to smoke the pill that was gradually taking shape at a gentle temperature.

This process lasted for nearly twenty minutes.

Only after Gu Fengchen confirmed that the pill was formed did he suddenly retract his soul power, and instantly, the golden flame completely enveloped the pill.

The Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame was released and then retracted, and was quickly suppressed to the lowest point by Gu Fengchen again. Then, as the golden flame dissipated, a pill emitting a faint fragrance appeared in the medicine cauldron.

The first-grade elixir, Rejuvenation Powder, is done!

The whole process took almost four hours, but Gu Fengchen didn't feel any fatigue at all. He was very excited.

After all, this was his first time to successfully refine medicine.

"Well, to become an alchemist, I still need a lot of medicinal materials and recipes. I can't always take advantage of Frank. I still need to collect some myself. I'll find some time to go to Mittel Auction House and auction off the elixirs that Gu Yuan gave me, and exchange them for some gold coins or something."

Moreover, refining medicine consumes a lot of mental energy and fighting spirit. During the four hours of refining, Gu Fengchen spent two hours adjusting and recovering his fighting spirit. Therefore, to become an excellent alchemist, one's own strength is also very important.

Ten minutes later, Gu Fengchen took Xiao Yixiang to a secluded corner. He had forgotten something.

Little Medical Fairy looked at Gu Fengchen with some confusion and asked, "Gu Feng, what's the matter?"

"I forgot before, I'll give this to you."

As he spoke, Gu Fengchen took out a set of dark black soft armor from his storage ring.

This set of soft armor was given to Gu Fengchen by Yao Ye before.

But now Gu Fengchen’s defense is already at its maximum. Although this soft armor is useful, it is not very useful. It is better to give it to Xiao Yixiang.

He looked at Xiao Yixian's expectant yet bewildered expression and explained, "This is a set of close-fitting soft armor, made from the skin of a fourth-tier magical beast, the Black Magic Bear. It fits perfectly to the skin and is very breathable. This can make up for your poor defense, and you won't be afraid of others getting close to you."

The Little Medical Fairy accepted the soft armor with great joy, her eyes slightly red as she said, "Thank you, thank you."

In fact, among so many female characters in Fights Break Sphere, the one with the worst background is Xiao Yixiang.

The second is Qinglin, the two are basically evenly matched.

Cai Lin is the queen of the snake people, Gu Xun'er has the blood of the Dou Emperor, and Nalan Yanran also has the Nalan family behind her.

The only difference is that if Xiao Yixian didn’t have a poisonous body, she would probably never leave Qingshan Town in her life!
