Chapter 112: Dan Ning Jiuji bids farewell to the old year, and the foundation is built to shine in the green world [Please read it later]

After igniting the warm furnace.

Tang Hao waved his hand and spread out a bunch of medicinal herbs in front of him. He drew his palms left and right repeatedly, dividing the various spiritual medicines into four small piles.

Then sort the four piles of medicinal materials according to the order of refining.

The medicinal materials used in [Foundation-Building Pill] include thirty-six kinds of main and auxiliary medicines. Naturally, they cannot be thrown in all at once like refining ordinary first-level pills.

It is true that there is isolation in the alchemy furnace, but with so many kinds of medicinal materials, the difficulty of refining the pill is high. After refining begins, it is inevitable that mistakes will occur due to confusion.

These are naturally the experiences taught by Mei Zhen.

Comparing the medicinal materials, the recipe, and the video, Tang Hao suddenly had a flash of enlightenment: "The herbs used in this recipe are in line with the principles of Chinese medicine, that is, monarch, minister, assistant, and envoy."

After carefully studying the medicinal properties of the thirty-six herbs, he immediately noticed the difference when he applied them according to Mei Zhen's experience.

There are three piles of medicinal materials led by [Dipsacus asper], [Crying Blood Ganoderma Lucidum], and [Shock God Herb]. The three main medicines are the monarch medicines, and the rest are the minister medicines, auxiliary medicines, and messenger medicines.

The remaining small pile is composed of the ministers, assistants and messengers of the above three sets of main medicines.

"It's really interesting and clever!" Tang Hao couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh.

After thinking about it, he finally took a pen and paper and marked clearly on the paper the order of refining each medicinal ingredient, the role it played in the recipe, and the control changes of the fire temperature.

"A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. No matter how strong a monk's memory is, it is inevitable that mistakes will occur when multitasking. Writing it down like this, whether it is used or not, will give you a bit more confidence."

He patted the paper with satisfaction and put it aside so that he could check it at any time.

Everything was ready. Tang Hao opened the furnace lid and placed the herbs slightly staggered into the furnace: "Let's try one first."

He naturally knew that he shouldn't take seriously the strange premonition that the furnace would succeed.

"It's just an impulse after I figured out the key points. I need to keep a calm mind." Tang Hao warned himself.

Then, without hesitation, he extinguished the spiritual light, and the fire in the furnace became brighter.

As the seals are pinched, the medicinal materials are crushed and impurities are removed.

He was fully focused, adding elixirs to the mix from time to time, and every time he did so, he would also control the changes in the temperature.

More than half an hour later, under the induction of his "Dan Xiang Hua Yuan Jue", three balls of Dan Qi of different colors appeared in the furnace.

In order to be in the best condition, he relied entirely on his own magic power to power the alchemy this time. He knew the changes of the alchemy energy in the alchemy furnace very well, if not as clearly as seeing through fire.

Tang Hao took a deep breath: "The next step is the difficulty of refining the [Foundation Building Pill] - the combination of the three elements of essence, energy and spirit."

In fact, the previous steps are only about the same difficulty as those of ordinary first-level elixirs.

Experienced alchemists can get through it smoothly, but most of them fail in the process of refining three completely different main medicines into one.

At this stage, the three balls of medicine paste are combined into one, and the remaining auxiliary medicines, adjuvant medicines, and guiding medicines can no longer be added in batches, as there will be no time to guide the changes in the medicinal properties.

The only option is to add the remaining medicinal powder all at once, which is a great test of the alchemist's control over the temperature.

"Success or failure depends on this!" Tang Hao changed the seal in his hand, and the three balls of medicine paste immediately merged, and the remaining medicine powder was also mixed in.

The fire in the furnace roared loudly, rapidly accelerating the fusion of the medicinal properties.

The Dan Qi in the induction suddenly vibrated violently. The next moment, a muffled "boom" sound came from the Dan furnace, and black smoke came out of the exhaust holes around the furnace body.

He frowned, waved away the black smoke, and summarized his experience: "The powder was mixed in a moment too early, and the fire was a little more intense. The premonition that the next batch will be successful is indeed unreliable."

He shook his head, put out the fire, opened the stove lid, and an indescribable burnt smell emanated.

With a push of his magic power, dozens of black, solid pieces like charcoal were rolled out of the furnace. They were the waste materials and waste pills that had not even reached the stage of condensing into pills.

If it were someone else, this thing could only be sold to a waste pill recycling point at a bargain price. The sect would then go through complicated steps to remove harmful substances before making it into feed or fertilizer.

Tang Hao naturally didn't need it, he had his own dedicated recycling point: "Recycle!"

"Successfully recovered [Foundation Building Pill Waste]"

"No [Energy Essence] was obtained in this recycling."

……'Recycle!'

"Successfully recovered [Foundation Building Pill Waste]"

"Obtain [Energy Essence]*1"

……

'Recycle!'

"Successfully recovered [Foundation Building Pill Waste]"

"No [Energy Essence] was obtained in this recycling."

After recycling a dozen pieces of scrap, only one [Energy Essence] was obtained.

If converted into the number of spiritual medicines, it would be even more exaggerated.

He had long been accustomed to this extremely small probability and had not held out much hope.

"I refine them all with replica spiritual medicines. I can recycle them after failure, which really makes me feel better." With some gains, Tang Hao's depression suddenly dissipated. "But Guangzi can't see the elixirs I refine, so it can be considered a gain and a loss."

He did not replace the alchemy furnace with a new one, but waited for it to cool down while regulating his breathing to recover his magic power.

After the furnace had completely cooled down and returned to its best condition, he started refining the elixir again.

The same alchemy furnace, the same batch of elixirs, the same technique, but failure at the same location.

After refining two furnaces in a row, Tang Hao didn't get too attached. He cleaned up and went to bed.

[Foundation Building Pill] takes a long time to make. One batch takes about an hour.

Even if he didn't succeed, it would still take more than half an hour.

Calculating this way, in a day, excluding sleeping, eating, resting, recovery, and dealing with various chores, one can only refine six or seven furnaces at most.

After all, quantitative change leads to qualitative change. On the third day after the furnace was officially opened, after nearly twenty furnaces of waste pills, the first furnace of [Foundation Building Pills] was finally successfully refined.

"Finally it succeeded, but the quality is a little bit worse, barely better than Lucius's furnace." Tang Hao released the [Medicine Testing Technique] in his hand and breathed a long sigh of relief.

It was naturally impossible for him to build his foundation with the low-grade [Foundation-Building Pill], so he recycled it as usual. He exchanged seven pills for a portion of [Energy Essence], which made him somewhat satisfied.

After a brief recovery, strike while the iron is hot and continue refining in the furnace.

After the first success, perhaps with the blessing of exactly the same elixir, the success rate was surprisingly high afterwards, with eight out of ten furnaces being successful, but the quality of all of them was of low quality.

"This is not surprising. After all, the [Dust Purification Technique] is not a panacea. If you want to refine high-quality pills, the previous steps must be as perfect as possible." Tang Hao lay on the bed and summed up his experience.

He pondered, "Those three balls of paste also have a fusion of medicinal properties. If I want to improve further, I have to work on this. And I can't use the [Dust Purification Technique], otherwise, if I'm not careful, the medicinal properties will be unbalanced and the pill will be useless."

On the fifth day, after continuous attempts, the mid-grade [Foundation Building Pill] was produced.

On the tenth day, after continuous efforts, he finally refined the top-grade [Foundation-Building Pill].

In a blink of an eye, Tang Hao had been in seclusion for more than a month.

It was already the end of the year, and fireworks occasionally shot up into the sky in the Qinghua Sect.

"Swoosh~"

"boom!"

On Yaofeng Mountain, a huge firework exploded, brilliant, beautiful, and fleeting.

At the same time, in the cave, Tang Hao opened his eyes and used the [Dan Collecting Technique].

One after another, round and plump pills flew into the pill bottle in his hand.

"One, two, three... eight, nine!"

After counting the number of pills in the pill bottle, Tang Hao's face instantly broke into a bright smile.
