Ye Tianfan looked at this big guy, scratched his head, and then asked Master Zhichu in a daze, "What should I do next?"
"First familiarize yourself with the Alchemy Furnace. Do you see these two Bagua fire openings on the furnace? When you start, you need to place your hands on them, then inject a certain amount of fla into one opening and fire attribute Spiritual Power into the other opening as fuel!" Master Zhichu said, "This is the usage thod for a beginner's Alchemy Furnace!"
"Beginner's Alchemy Furnace? Are there interdiate and advanced ones?" Ye Tianfan asked in confusion upon hearing this!
"Of course there are interdiate and advanced Alchemy Furnaces. Once you practice well with this one, the furnace you obtain from Taiqi Peak will be an interdiate Alchemy Furnace, which allows you to inject flas directly across a distance and achieve burning effects by directly consuming your Spiritual Power!" Master Zhichu explained, "Moreover, the beginner's Alchemy Furnace has another effect, which is to help you adjust your sensitivity to fire and practice your fla control skills!"
Ye Tianfan nodded after hearing this, then directly placed his hands on the two Bagua fire openings, closed his eyes slightly, and the Spiritual Power within his body transford into flas, which he then injected into the left fire opening with his left hand, while the right fire opening received fire attribute Spiritual Power!
"Puff..."
With a muffled sound, flas instantly rose within the Alchemy Furnace, and they burned ever brighter. Ye Tianfan, startled by the sudden flas, quickly withdrew his hands.
"Not bad, but you need to always be sensing whether there's enough fire attribute Spiritual Power in the Alchemy Furnace and add more as needed. The fire attribute Spiritual Power should not be too little or too much; too little will decrease the fla's temperature, while too much will make the fla more ferocious!" Master Zhichu elaborated, "This is the technique of mastering the fla!"
Ye Tianfan nodded in understanding; so this was the technique of mastering the fla. It seed quite similar to the past life; the stronger the wind blows, the fiercer the fla becos.
"Next, let's add the herbs!" Master Zhichu instructed, and took out so scattered dicinal materials from his storage Magical Treasure!
Then Master Zhichu handed Ye Tianfan a piece of paper, saying, "This is the simplest formula for the White dicine Pill, used for treating external injuries. Try to refine it. I will remind you to control the fla's temperature and refine the dicinal ingredients as needed."
Ye Tianfan nodded and then carefully read this piece of paper!
After morizing the alchemy process and the sequence of dicinal ingredients, Ye Tianfan began to attempt his first alchemy!
Ye Tianfan picked up a slightly withered flower from the herb tray beside him, recognized it as Ning Xuehua, then opened the lid of the furnace and threw the Ning Xuehua inside!
Once Ning Xuehua entered the furnace, Ye Tianfan peered into the furnace through the mirrored surface and found that the Ning Xuehua had already turned to charcoal!
At this ti, Master Zhichu spoke, "This mirror surface is for beginners whose Divine Sense can't last long, but since your Divine Sense can last for three days and nights without issue, use your Divine Sense to sense the state of the pill inside the Alchemy Furnace. Your fla was too fierce just now; you need to lower it and withdraw so of your Spiritual Power!"
Ye Tianfan nodded, then once again added a Ning Xuehua into the furnace. Since Ye Tianfan had already lowered the fla's temperature a little, the Ning Xuehua did not imdiately turn into charcoal but started to dry up slowly!
"The temperature is still a bit high," Master Zhichu reminded!
Upon hearing this, Ye Tianfan hurriedly withdrew so Spiritual Power again!
"Hmm, this temperature is good!" Master Zhichu noted!
After hearing Master Zhichu say that this temperature was right, Ye Tianfan quickly maintained the fla at this temperature. Based on the speed at which the fla consud fire attribute Spiritual Power, Ye Tianfan slowly injected Spiritual Power into the furnace!
Using Divine Sense, Ye Tianfan observed the Ning Xuehua in the furnace; its petals fell off one by one, scorched and crushed into powder, and this powder was the pure essence of the Ning Xuehua!
Seeing this, Ye Tianfan knew he could proceed to the next step!
Next, the task was to use Spiritual Power to encapsulate the essence of Ning Xuehua and, before the essence of the subsequent herb was extracted, prevent it from being scorched by the flas, while ensuring the temperature remained unchanged!
Thinking of this, Ye Tianfan shook his head with a bitter smile; no wonder dical cultivators were so few. The step of refining pills alone could halt most people at this point; such ticulous operations practically cast those who are slovenly straight into hell!
However, this pill refining was a skill he needed to learn. Besides, he had seen other disciples from Taiyi Peak refine pills, without the difficulty he faced now. He had seen a senior brother just throw all the herbs into the furnace and sit cross-legged in front of the furnace.
Not knowing what he did, the pills ca out ready!
Thinking of this, Ye Tianfan looked at his own refining process at present, deeply sighed; truly, entering dical cultivation was indeed a challenge!
Next, after adding another herb, Ye Tianfan failed to maintain the temperature of the Ning Xuehua essence properly, panicked, and consequently spoiled both herbs!
Ye Tianfan could only sigh in frustration, then started extracting their essence again from the two herbs!
But with prior experience, Ye Tianfan operated much more smoothly this ti!
Continuing, Ye Tianfan successfully refined the third herb without failure, followed by the fourth and fifth herbs as well!
Since Ye Tianfan had by now mastered the technique of fla control, after several failures, things were now progressing very smoothly!
Yet Ye Tianfan was unaware that Master Zhichu by his side was already astonished; was there such a genius? At this rate, he'd soon be able to refine the White dicine Pill successfully.
Master Zhichu sensed the essence of those herbs already refined within the furnace and softly said, "The required essences have all been extracted. Now, fuse their essences together. This is the most critical step in alchemy."
Ye Tianfan, recalling the process outlined on the pill formula, took a deep breath and slowly rged all the independently extracted essences of the herbs in the furnace together, ensuring the underlying fla's temperature remained stable!
This was practically multitasking; at this mont, Ye Tianfan was drenched in sweat but dared not lose focus for a second. As a diversion of attention now would lead to failure!
