Volume 8: Peak of the Star Domain Chapter 1079 Refining method!
After Cai Siyuan left the Star Lord's Palace, Li Xuanfeng opened all the formations of the palace, making it impossible for cultivators from outside to perceive the scene inside.
Then Li Xuanfeng closed his eyes again and began to deduce the refining process of the Return to Ancestor Pill based on the recipe in his mind.
This is also a habit of Li Xuanfeng. If he is refining a new elixir for the first time, he will deduce the possible problems that may arise in the refining process based on the elixir formula in his mind.
If this kind of elixir contains materials that he has used many times before, then the process of refining and fusing this material almost does not require any deduction, and Li Xuanfeng can be 90% sure based on his experience.
Only some materials that Li Xuanfeng has never used need to be deduced, possible problems may arise, and the possibility of failure when integrating with other materials.
This kind of ancestral pill contained five kinds of materials that Li Xuanfeng had never used before.
For a Duyuan Realm elixir that requires dozens of refining materials, five types are indeed very few. But Li Xuanfeng is an alchemist who has successfully refined hundreds of Duyuan Realm elixirs, some of which contain many types and have used a lot of materials.
These five kinds of refining materials are extremely rare materials, and they are also the main sources of the medicinal power of the Atavism Pill.
Because these five refining materials are extremely rare, even Li Xuanfeng has never used them, and the leader of the Tianxing Sect has only collected the materials for refining three times.
At this time, Li Xuanfeng was deducing the refining process, mainly targeting these five extremely rare refining materials, in order to minimize the possibility of refining failure.
The reason why Li Xuanfeng's success rate in alchemy is much higher than other alchemists of the same level is not only because of his talent in alchemy and the exquisite refining methods passed down by the Five Elements Venerable, but also because of his own rigorous character.
It is the deductive refining process before each refining of a new elixir, as well as the careful recollection of the possible reasons for failure when the refining fails, that has allowed Li Xuanfeng's refining success rate to steadily increase.
If he had refined the pill dozens of times, because he was too skilled, Li Xuanfeng could even achieve an 80% success rate even for a pill of the Duyuan realm of the same level as his own alchemy skills.
And now, if Li Xuanfeng were to refine the familiar Palm Source Realm elixir, he could even achieve a success rate close to 100%.
This is an extremely terrifying success rate among the third-level alchemists. If other cultivators knew about it, it would be enough to shock them completely.
Fortunately, although other cultivators and alchemists speculated that Li Xuanfeng's success rate in refining pills was higher than other alchemists based on the number of pills he sold, they were unable to make an accurate estimate and did not know that it would be so much higher.
If other cultivators and alchemists knew exactly how successful Li Xuanfeng was in refining pills, it would probably be enough to shock the entire Tianchen star region.
By then, Li Xuanfeng would probably be crazily fought over by the three top forces, who would enthusiastically invite him to join. A third-level alchemist with such a success rate would be like a huge source crystal mine, and it would be an inexhaustible one.
As long as the alchemists continue to refine pills, they can earn a large amount of source crystals continuously.
And if they fail to seize the power of Li Xuanfeng, they will probably try every means to get rid of him. Otherwise, with the blessing of countless source crystals, the power of Li Xuanfeng will continue to increase, and they will probably be able to leave them far behind within a thousand years.
By then, the Tianchen Star Region will probably no longer be a situation where three top forces are in a three-way competition , but will be unified by this force.
If other third-level alchemists knew about Li Xuanfeng's terrifying success rate in alchemy, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit three liters of blood and say that comparison is the culprit...
Because the third-level elixir requires more materials to be refined, and the materials are already extremely tough, it is extremely difficult for other alchemists to improve their success rate in refining.
For other Duyuan Realm alchemists, it is already very good if they can achieve a 30% success rate in refining Zhiyuan Realm pills. Even if they are refining Zhangyuan Realm pills, they can only achieve a 50% to 60% success rate.
It was not until two hours later that Li Xuanfeng opened his eyes, took out the alchemy furnace from the storage ring, and began refining.
However, all of this had been blocked by the formation of the Star Lord's Palace. Cai Siyuan and Tang Wu outside the Star Lord's Palace were completely unaware of it. They thought that Li Xuanfeng had already started refining.
Li Xuanfeng took out the materials prepared by the leader of Tianxing Sect and first refined five materials that had never been used.
Although refining materials by the alchemist is only a prelude to refining pills, it is equally important. If the materials are not refined pure enough, it is very likely to become the reason for the failure of refining.
Li Xuanfeng has great confidence in the other materials that have been used. The difficulty of this refining lies in these five materials that have never been used.
Although these five materials have never been used, the properties of these five materials are recorded in the classics collected by the Five Elements Venerable. Li Xuanfeng had carefully reviewed them again when he deduced the refining process just now.
At this point, Li Xuanfeng has made all the preparations. Next, he needs to put them into practice to discover and solve the problems that may arise when using these five materials.
Because a lot of deductions had already been done, when Li Xuanfeng started to refine the materials this time, it was completely different from the first time he used these five materials, and the refining process was still as smooth as ever.
However, Li Xuanfeng was also extremely cautious. After refining, he carefully sensed the essence of the five materials to see if there were any omissions.
After carefully checking to make sure there were no omissions, Li Xuanfeng began to refine other materials. The speed at this time was far beyond the five materials just now.
Li Xuanfeng has used these materials dozens of times, and he is very familiar with the refining process, and there will not be any omissions.
However, because dozens of materials need to be refined, and the materials of the third realm are already extremely good, Li Xuanfeng's refining also takes a lot of time.
When Li Xuanfeng finished refining all the materials, it was a day later, and only then did he start the fusion.
This step is the most critical step in refining the elixir , and all the materials refined before are in preparation for this step.
If the fusion can be completed successfully, it will be time for the pill to come out.
Li Xuanfeng raised his hand and a purple flame suddenly burned under the alchemy furnace, emitting an extremely high temperature, which created an extremely alarming pressure inside the alchemy furnace.
The purpose of using flame roasting is to allow the various materials to fuse together in the high temperature formed by the flame and spiritual power. This not only makes the fusion more stable, but also speeds up the process.
Then Li Xuanfeng began to put the essence extracted from the materials into the alchemy furnace one by one, fusing them one by one.
Of course, it is not necessary to put all the materials into the furnace at once for fusion. Refining in this way is tantamount to expecting failure.
If it is a low-level elixir with very few materials, it is not bad. It is also relatively easy to fuse only a few materials at the same time.
But for a Duyuan-level elixir that has dozens of ingredients, if all the ingredients were to be fused at the same time, the furnace would probably explode in just a few breaths, and no one would be able to succeed.
At this time, Li Xuanfeng only put three or five materials into the alchemy furnace at the same time for fusion. Moreover, these three or five materials were all ones he had refined dozens of times before, so he dared to be so bold.
Li Xuanfeng would not do this for the five materials used for the first time, otherwise the three refining opportunities would soon be wasted.
After all, this is the first time to refine the pill, and there are five materials that have never been used, and there are only three chances to refine it. Li Xuanfeng also needs to give enough respect.
The art of alchemy has been developed in the cultivation world for countless thousands of years, and the refining methods are similar, so it is difficult to have any breakthrough improvements.
Nowadays, if an alchemist in the cultivation world can make a little improvement in refining according to his own habits, it would be extremely extraordinary.
As for the fusion materials, the alchemist will either add all the materials gradually and fuse them one by one until all the materials are fused together.
There are also alchemists who choose to fuse materials with similar properties separately according to the properties of the materials, forming several fusion groups, and finally fuse the several fusion groups together one by one.
Both fusion methods have advantages and disadvantages, and are suitable for different refining materials. You can choose according to the refining of different pills.
However, after reaching the second level of elixirs, more than 80% of them choose the second fusion method. Because there are more refining materials, it is inevitable that there will be materials with conflicting properties.
Using the second fusion method can not only temporarily avoid conflicting materials, but also use the medicinal properties of other materials to neutralize them, making the final fusion more stable, which invisibly increases the success rate of refining.
What Li Xuanfeng used at this time was the second fusion method.
During the fusion process, Li Xuanfeng instantly released his spiritual consciousness and merged into the heaven and earth, causing a large amount of spiritual power to suddenly pour into the Star Lord's Palace and merge into the alchemy furnace.
Sensing a large amount of power from heaven and earth pouring into the Star Lord's Palace, Cai Siyuan and Tang Wu, who were in the Bai Tribe's main hall, immediately noticed it and looked up with gleaming eyes.
Cai Siyuan immediately realized that the leader of the Bai tribe had already begun the final step of refining and fusing the materials, and he couldn't help feeling quite nervous.
He had already seen that the sect master attached great importance to this ancestral pill, and he was afraid that this pill would be of great use.
And Tang Wu finally knew why the great elder of the Duyuan realm of the Tianxing Sect came to see his master.
The Grand Elder of the Tianxing Sect still stayed in the Bai Clan waiting, and the master had already started refining the elixir, which meant that the master was refining the elixir for the Grand Elder of the Tianxing Sect.
Tang Wu and the Bai cultivators were no longer surprised by the sight of the Star Lord's Palace absorbing large amounts of spiritual power, because refining the third-level elixir required a huge amount of spiritual power, and Li Xuanfeng mostly needed to absorb spiritual power from the outside world when refining the elixir, so this scene appeared frequently.
Fortunately, the spiritual power absorbed by Li Xuanfeng in refining the elixir was not too much. If it was the same as the tremendous spiritual power required by a third-level cultivator to break through his cultivation, this kind of scene would occur frequently and would greatly reduce the concentration of spiritual power in the vicinity, causing a significant impact on the cultivation speed of the Bai cultivators.
