C231 Refining Pill Fire
"As long as you look good. Then, Zhuohao, have you seen enough?" Nan Yudia still smiled faintly. She even placed a finger at the corner of her mouth and lightly bit it. That scene was simply seductive to the extreme. Qi Zhuohao's heart was burning with anger. It burned fiercely.
However, just as Qi Zhuohao was about to take action... Nan Yudia pulled Shen Ji and ran away, leaving only a mocking sentence echoing in the air, "Qi Zhuohao, I want you to die. Let's see if you dare to bully us again in the future."
Qi Zhuohao was very speechless. He wanted to chase after her, but in the end, he held it in. He did not want Nan Yudia and Shen Ji, so he chased after them now. It would only make him fall into the flames of the evil fire and let Nan Yudia's evil scheme succeed.
"Hmph! Play with me? Two fairies, I have plenty of time to deal with you in the future!"
After closing the door, Qi Zhuohao went to take a cold bath. The heat in his body had finally subsided. Just as he was about to continue trying to refine the Pill Fire, a knock on the door was heard once again. Helpless, Qi Zhuohao could only open the door.
Originally, Qi Zhuohao thought that Nan Yudia and Shen Ji had come back to play with him. He never thought that it was not. The person who came was Xing Yuyan. She held a storage bag in her hand. It seemed that the matter that Qi Zhuohao had instructed had already been settled by her.
Sure enough, Xing Yuyan respectfully cupped her fists at Qi Zhuohao and said, "Young Hero Qi, according to your instructions, I have purchased a thousand stalks of high-grade, middle-grade, and low-grade Mortal Rank herbs. If it is not enough, I will go and buy more for Young Hero Qi."
Qi Zhuohao was a little surprised. It had only been half a day, and Xing Yuyan's efficiency was really fast. Of course, Qi Zhuohao did not know that these medicinal herbs were not purchased by Xing Yuyan. It was she who reported the matter to the two sects. The two sects quickly arranged the medicinal herbs in their inventory and sent them to Qi Zhuohao in Great Sun County.
"One thousand stalks each is already quite a lot. If you still need them... I will go and find you. Elder Xing, you can go back now. Thank you for your hard work! " Receiving the storage bag, Qi Zhuohao closed the door and heard his words of gratitude. Xing Yuyan was a little happy. It seemed that running errands for Qi Zhuohao would also bring her quite a lot of benefits. At least, this way, she would be able to get in touch with Qi Zhuohao and get closer to him.
Furthermore, Xing Yuyan was accepted as the messenger of the two sects to contact Qi Zhuohao. At this time, she was greatly favoured by the higher ups of the two sects. Even the two sects' Great Elders had to be polite to her. Her status in the two sects had unknowingly risen a lot!
With a large amount of medicinal ingredients, as well as a pill furnace and alchemy technique, Qi Zhuohao only needed to condense a Pill Fire before he could start refining medicine.
However, condensing a Pill Fire was not easy. It was an alchemist with extraordinary talent. It also required a few days of time to condense his own Spiritual Force into a Pill Fire. And that was under the guidance of a master teacher. As for Qi Zhuohao, he didn't have a master alchemist. He relied solely on a single scripture. It was undoubtedly even more difficult for him to condense his Pill Fire.
However, what Qi Zhuohao feared the most was difficulty and trouble. According to the method described in the Pill Scripture, he started to carefully circulate the Spiritual Force within his body. At the same time that he transformed it into a pure fire type Spiritual Force, he also began to attempt to condense the Pill Fire.
The so-called condensing of a Pill Fire was to condense a fire type Spiritual Force into a real flame. Only a fire type Spiritual Force could be condensed into a Pill Fire. Other types of Spiritual Force could also be condensed into a flame. However, that was a virtual flame. Its temperature was not high, and it was difficult to adjust, so it could not be refined.
Boundless fire attribute Spiritual Force wrapped around Qi Zhuohao's fingertip. Under Qi Zhuohao's control... The temperature of the Spiritual Force suddenly rose. Following that, the Spiritual Force actually exploded and dissipated. Qi Zhuohao was shocked in his heart. This was the first time he tried to condense a Pill Fire, and he had undoubtedly failed. This situation made him realize that condensing the Pill Fire had a certain degree of danger.
The Spiritual Force would explode if the Pill Fire was not successfully condensed. This had exceeded Qi Zhuohao's expectations. Of course, Qi Zhuohao didn't use too many Spiritual Force, so the explosive force wasn't too strong. Adding the fact that the defense of his palm was very strong, the explosion didn't affect him at all.
"This time, it's because I'm too anxious to control the temperature of the Spiritual Force. Next time, calm down a little! Let's try again!" After summarizing the reason for his failure in his heart, Qi Zhuohao once again began to try. And this time, he very slowly increased the temperature of the Spiritual Force. However, because of his slow speed, he could not reach the point where the Spiritual Force would burn.
Qi Zhuohao was instantly trapped in a difficult situation. The temperature of the Spiritual Force was rising at an incredible speed. The Spiritual Force would explode, but if it was too slow, it would not be able to raise the temperature of the Spiritual Force. The Spiritual Force was like a piece of wood that could not reach a certain point of combustion. It could not be ignited at all. It seemed like he could only try continuously to condense the Pill Fire. There was no shortcut.
Thinking of this, Qi Zhuohao sighed and started crazily trying to condense the Pill Fire. Nan Yudia and Shen Ji did not disturb him. Shen Ji had already started to refine and absorb the Evil Nether Stone and the Frost Blood Crystal. Nan Yudia had no other choice but to continue refining the Wind Spirit Bead.
For an entire day, Qi Zhuohao still did not have much harvest as the Pill Fire was not successfully condensed. Of course, he was not discouraged as he could at least occasionally condense the Pill Fire now and then.
This was a good start. Once the Pill Fire could be occasionally condensed, as Qi Zhuohao continued to work hard, he would definitely be able to condense his Pill Fire at will. He would also be able to completely control the Pill Fire and use it to concoct pills...
The manor was very quiet. Time passed bit by bit. On the afternoon of the third day, Qi Zhuohao's eyes were filled with excitement as he stared at the ball of fiery red flame in his palm. He had finally succeeded in condensing the Pill Fire.
The flame of the Pill Fire was pulsating and emitting a terrifying temperature, just like the Profound Fire. The Pill Fire that Qi Zhuohao condensed didn't have any effect on him, but his Pill Fire could harm others.
Qi Zhuohao knew that there were some powerful alchemists who used the Pill Fire as their means of attack. It was very powerful!
Putting away the Spiritual Force and circulating the Pill Fire, Qi Zhuohao repeatedly practiced his control over the Pill Fire. After a few hours, he felt that he could control the Pill Fire as he pleased. Only then did he take out a pile of low-grade Mortal Rank herbs and Mortal Rank alchemy furnace.
Next, Qi Zhuohao was going to start concocting medicine. The steps of concocting medicine were divided into three steps. Which was to purify, fuse, and concoct medicine (into a pill), these three steps. It looked simple, but in fact, it was extremely difficult. Every step was a failure. One cauldron of pills or Medicinal Pill would be wasted.
Qi Zhuohao found a copper table and placed the Mortal Rank alchemy furnace on it. Then, he picked out three sets of ingredients for the Awakening Pill to be used as backup. He had to start from the most basic Mortal Rank low grade Medicinal Pill to gradually increase his alchemy strength.
The Awakening Pill was a Low-grade Mortal Rank Pill. The ingredients were the Withering Vine Leaf, the Clear Spirit Flower, and the Calm Spirit Grass. It was not complicated. It was almost the easiest to concoct a Low-grade Mortal Rank Pill.
Of course, with Qi Zhuohao, a beginner who knew nothing about alchemy, refining a pill required the degree of purity of the Pill Fire. Also, controlling the temperature of the Pill Fire was still the same thing. To become an alchemist, or even an alchemist, one needed time, energy, and a large amount of medicinal herbs as a foundation.
Opening the lid of the furnace, Qi Zhuohao carefully cleaned the inside and outside of the furnace. Only then did he begin the first step of refining medicine, purification!
The furnace actually did not belong to weapons, it was only divided into grades. In other words, a Mortal Rank furnace could refine all Mortal Rank pills. A Earth Rank alchemy furnace could refine all the Medicinal Pill of an Earth Rank, regardless of the upper, middle, or lower grade!0
Taking a deep breath, Qi Zhuohao placed a dried vine leaf into the alchemy furnace. Immediately after, he activated the Pill Fire, and raging flames poured into the furnace from the entrance. As the temperature of the furnace rose, a burnt smell entered Qi Zhuohao's nostrils.
Qi Zhuohao decisively retracted his Pill Fire. He knew that the dried vine leaf had been destroyed. The temperature of the Pill Fire was too high, and the dried vine leaf had been burnt to a crisp. It didn't achieve the effect of purifying, and the first time it had been purified, it had failed!
"Purifying it is so difficult. I want to concoct a batch of Awakening Pills. It really is... " Qi Zhuohao smiled bitterly and truly began refining pills, using the pill refining technique. The control of the temperature of the Pill Fire was very important. Also, an alchemist needed to use the Pill Fire to sense the situation within the furnace. Qi Zhuohao was unable to do this, so he couldn't even purify it.
"Forget it, I'll just use the Pill Fire to sense the situation within the alchemy furnace before starting refining!"
The first time he tried to purify the medicinal ingredients, he failed. Qi Zhuohao also realized that he was wrong. As expected, refining medicine could not be taken a shortcut. It had to be done step by step. He could not observe the situation inside the furnace at all times. He could not concoct pills at all. It would only destroy the herbs.
Although Qi Zhuohao had the Spiritual Sense, he had the strength to investigate the situation inside the furnace at any time. However, the strength of his heart and the release of the Spiritual Sense had both been consumed. Refining medicine and concocting pills required too much time, so he could use the Pill Fire to sense the situation inside the furnace. That was a must.
A warrior's Spiritual Force was like a part of a warrior's body. When the Spiritual Force transformed into a Pill Fire, it was not difficult for a warrior to use the Pill Fire to sense the situation inside the alchemy furnace. He only needed to spend some time practicing and he would be able to do it.
After another half a day, Qi Zhuohao could use the Pill Fire to constantly observe the situation inside the alchemy furnace. Next, he started to practice controlling the temperature of the Pill Fire. This practice took Qi Zhuohao two whole days.
In order to successfully refine the medicine, Qi Zhuohao had to prepare. Although he had enough herbs, he could not waste them. His current goal was to become an Earth Rank Low Grade alchemist and refine a Poison Avoiding Pill.
Qi Zhuohao had a certain degree of certainty. After recovering the Spiritual Force that he had consumed in his body, he once again placed a withered vine leaf into the alchemy furnace and ignited the Pill Fire. This time, Qi Zhuohao controlled the temperature of the Pill Fire to be very low. Slowly purifying the dried vine leaf.
In next to no time, Qi Zhuohao grasped the temperature of the Pill Fire that the Withering Vine Leaf could withstand. He carefully raised the temperature of the Pill Fire, and the dried rattan leaf was finally burned into a drop of medicinal liquid. Qi Zhuohao was filled with joy. The purification of the Withering Vine Leaf had succeeded.
Next, Qi Zhuohao followed the previous steps and purified the Clear Spirit Flower. However, the Pill Fire directly burned the Clear Spirit Flower into ashes. Without leaving any medicinal liquid behind, Qi Zhuohao's heart moved. The temperature of each medicinal herb's Pill Fire was different. The purification of each medicinal herb required adjusting the temperature of the Pill Fire. Using the Pill Fire temperature of the dried vine leaf to purify the Clear Spirit Flower would only destroy the Clear Spirit Flower. As for the purification of the Calm Spirit Grass, was the temperature of the Pill Fire high or low? Qi Zhuohao also needed to try before he knew.
"Refining medicine and refining pills is indeed difficult, it's too troublesome! "Qi Zhuohao sighed with emotion in his heart. He then placed another Clear Spirit Flower into the alchemy furnace. Every time he refined a medicinal pill, he must first understand the temperature of the Pill Fire that the medicinal ingredients could withstand. No wonder there were so few alchemists and alchemists. They did not have strong perseverance, time, and ingredients. Even for an alchemist who had reached the Earth Rank Low Grade, it was extremely difficult!
Qi Zhuohao kept trying and destroying the medicinal ingredients one by one. Finally, he successfully refined the Spirit Cleansing Flower and the God Soothing Grass. Next, he wanted to start the second step of refining medicine, refining...
