Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

Liquid mercury is actually the most important element that gives the so-called high-quality elixir its shiny appearance.

Of course, liquid mercury alone is not enough, after all, mercury is too volatile.

And the method to keep it in this state is actually not difficult.

Mercury also has a very special property - it can form amalgams with metals.

The reaction conditions are very simple. Just throw metals such as gold and silver into it, and they will be absorbed by mercury under normal temperature and pressure, forming a coexistence state of single elements such as gold amalgam and silver amalgam.

So Zhu Yunhuan then separated out a portion of the liquid mercury, and then randomly threw the gold and silver foils that had been prepared long ago into the liquid mercury.

In just a few breaths, these gold and silver foils were absorbed by the pure and freely moving mercury. The mercury could absorb as much as it was thrown in.

of course.

As the gold and silver foils are continuously absorbed.

This ball of mercury began to become more and more viscous from water, until it became like moist clay, which could be kneaded and shaped at will. The difference from clay was that the surface of this "mud" still had a shiny silver luster.

Regardless of its effectiveness.

Rub it a little and it will turn into a perfect elixir in appearance!

at the same time.

The many Taoists, alchemists, and famous masters standing in this "laboratory" were stunned, staring at Zhu Yunhuan's hand movements with wide eyes.

There were a thousand horses galloping through my heart.

"When I was refining pills in the later stages, it was almost like this, but this thing in his hand is of extremely high purity!"

"What is he...doing?"

"It seems like he's refining an elixir, but it seems... not quite refining an elixir..."

People like Liu Yuanran, Ma Rui, Zhang Yuqing, Liu Ziqian... They had seen many kinds of elixir recipes, tried them and practiced them, and they were also capable of refining elixirs with shiny and round appearance. Of course, they felt a sense of déjà vu about the thing Zhu Yunhuan made.

However, Zhu Yunhuan’s actions were not exactly the same as theirs.

They usually add materials, heat, cool, and lower the temperature at the appropriate time according to the recipes they know. The materials for alchemy are also richer, and the alchemy process is longer and more complicated.

The finished product contains more ingredients than what Zhu Yunhuan made.

In other words, this tyrant seemed to have completed an alchemy process with simple materials in a short period of time - it can be simply called the fast version of alchemy.

And the finished product looks much more beautiful than theirs.

Other alchemists who were less skilled and experienced were stunned.

"Shit! I've been working my ass off for days and still can't achieve the same results, and he's managed to make his Kung Fu look better than those from the Zhengyi and Quanzhen sects in just a short while?"

"No... Then I'm leaving? You're so good at refining pills, why did you ask us to come? Just make them, who can surpass you, Daddy!"

"Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?"

"..."

For a moment, several people were stunned and confused in astonishment.

Without waiting for these Taoists and alchemists to say anything.

Zhu Yunhuan looked around on his experimental bench and selected some materials commonly used in alchemy - gallstones, green alum, yellow alum, etc.

These things come in different colors and have certain medicinal value, so they are naturally frequently used by these "alchemy masters".

After some heating operation.

When heated, yellow alum decomposes into a reddish-brown powder, which is called red alum. From a modern chemical perspective, it is called iron oxide. As for the other products, they are water and sulfur trioxide. Zhu Yunhuan also poured them into water to form a solution.

Copper sulfate, also known as blue sulfate, produces a white powder after heating. From a chemical point of view, it is anhydrous copper sulfate formed by the dehydration of copper sulfate pentahydrate.
