chapter 4 Gathering Fengfu Stars

Jiuyin grass has been refined.

Earth Dragon Root, refined.

Yanweizi, refined.

…

It took Drake Dragon several hours to refine more than thirty kinds of forage materials one by one, and he was so exhausted that he was sweating profusely.

Refining elixirs is different from boiling medicine. It requires extracting the essence of each herb, removing impurities, and making it into powder.

But the fire in Drake Dragon's hand was too rubbish, and the refined powder had too many impurities, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

First, Drake Dragon's cultivation level is not enough and he does not have the continuous energy to stimulate the elixir fire, so the power of the flame is not strong.

Second, Drake Dragon now has no chance or ability to tame other flames, so he can only make do with it.

Fengfu Dan is a first-level elixir. Usually only alchemy disciple-level alchemists can refine first-level elixirs.

However, if you want to practice the art of alchemy, in addition to having powerful elixir fire, you also need to have powerful spiritual energy, and most importantly, you need extremely powerful soul power.

The other two are not difficult. As long as Danhuo has the conditions, he can capture fire monsters, tame them as pets, and use the fire of monsters to cultivate his own fire. It is also very powerful.

More than ninety-nine percent of alchemists use animal fire. Only some alchemists with extremely ancient inheritance and strong strength can control a kind of extremely mysterious and ethereal spiritual fire in the world.

Spirit fire is a kind of flame with a soul. In Drake Dragon's memory, it seems that he once mastered an extremely powerful heaven and earth spirit fire.

It's a pity that no matter how awesome he is, he still has to use the rubbish fire of hard work to continue refining elixirs, and he can't get out the things in his memory.

It was almost time to rest, and Drake Dragon took a deep breath.

"call"

A half-foot-long wax-yellow flame jumped out from the palm of his hand, and a surge of heat surged in.

"It's okay. After the refining just now, the power of the flames has grown a little bit. Forget it, it's better than nothing."

After continuously throwing the seven medicinal essences into the furnace, the power of the soul unfolded, and the flame in Drake Dragon's hand suddenly jumped, becoming several times stronger than before.

"Using the power of the soul to activate the flames, if other alchemists see it, will they be scared to death?"Drake Dragon smiled bitterly.

The most precious thing for an alchemist is the power of the soul. The power of a person's soul is basically innate and increases passively as one's cultivation level improves.

The power of the soul is the foundation of alchemy. When refining an elixir, a large amount of soul power is needed to control the heat. If there is a slight mistake, all previous efforts will be wasted and the elixir will become a pile of ashes. If the elixir is powerful, the furnace will explode.

Usually, alchemists will not invest the power of the soul at the beginning. Basically, in the middle and late stages, when the elixir is about to form, they will use the power of the soul to carefully control the output of firepower.

After all, that time is the key to making the elixir. The temperature of the flame needs to constantly change, sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes fierce and sometimes slow, which consumes a lot of soul power.

If the soul power was exhausted at that time, then the furnace of pills would basically be considered scrapped, but Drake Dragon actually used the soul power from the beginning.

And the extremely precious soul power is just to increase the power of the fire. If it is burned as firewood, any alchemist will definitely curse him. Even if he is a prodigal, he is not so prodigal.

But Drake Dragon is not afraid. According to his memory, his current soul power is no worse than an ordinary alchemist.

The levels of alchemy practitioners are, in order, alchemy disciple, alchemy master, alchemy master, alchemy king, alchemy emperor, alchemy sect, alchemy master, alchemy sage, and alchemy emperor.

In Drake Dragon memory, there is the memory of a powerful Alchemy Emperor, so he is very clear about his own energy.

When Drake Dragon woke up this time, his soul power had mutated and was extremely powerful, so Drake Dragon was qualified to do this.

"Buzz"

The pill furnace in front of Drake Dragon shook slightly and made a soft sound.

"Hey, adding fuel to the fire will make the speed a lot faster."

He hurriedly threw three more herbs into the furnace, but at this time, Drake Dragon had sweat on his forehead.

He quickly took out a two-foot-long grass stalk, put one end into the medicine jar, where there was a jar full of Qi-Returning Liquid, put the other end into his mouth, and took a deep breath.

After the Qi-Reviving Liquid entered his abdomen, the pores all over his body opened rapidly and began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth crazily. The spiritual energy that was about to be exhausted was rapidly recovering.

This is what Drake Dragon has prepared long ago, and it is also a necessary task for refining the Fengfu Pill. Otherwise, with his current spiritual power, trying to refine the pill would only be a joke.

Holding a grass stalk in his mouth, he would take a sip of Qi-Returning Liquid from time to time to supply the spiritual energy output in his body.

Compared with Drake Dragon's spiritual energy, his soul power was too strong. It was not until two days later that Drake Dragon felt a trace of fatigue, which was a sign of huge consumption of soul power.

But at this time, all the medicinal materials in the alchemy furnace have been put in, and only the finishing work is left. The scent of the medicine has begun to spread everywhere.

Although in Drake Dragon's impression, such a first-level elixir could be practiced with his eyes closed, but it was different now. This was something that changed his destiny. To say he wasn't nervous would be a lie.

"Buzz"

Suddenly, there was a beating and buzzing sound in the alchemy furnace, and the atmosphere in the alchemy furnace began to become violent.

Drake Dragon didn't panic at all, but instead had a smile on his face. This was the precursor to the elixir, and it was also the most critical moment for elixir refining.

The power of the soul was fully activated without any reservation. The flame in his hand suddenly surged, and an invisible force tightly locked the entire alchemy furnace.

This technique is called "Sealing the Heaven and Locking the Earth". It is a trick created by Drake Dragon in his memory. It is used to prevent the explosion of the pill and the explosion of the furnace.

Moreover, this trick is very practical. It can lock all the medicinal power in the furnace in the shortest possible time without losing too much.

Normally, alchemists would use it as the last step. Because the elixir is violent, they would use gentle methods to stabilize it.

Although the risk is much less if you do this, the essence of the medicine will be lost very much, so the effect of the elixir is very average.

"boom"

With the full suppression of Drake Dragon soul power, the entire alchemy furnace made a muffled sound and then became silent.

Drake Dragon looked at the calm alchemy furnace in front of him and couldn't help but gasp wildly. His whole body was soaked with sweat, and his whole body felt like it was spinning.

After a while, Drake Dragon recovered slightly. With excitement, he opened the stove cover, even his hands were shaking a little.

Five round projectiles were reflected in Drake Dragon's eyes, and the strong medicinal fragrance filled the entire room.

"Two low-grade pills, three useless pills, well, if you tell me, you will be killed."Drake Dragon's face was filled with excitement, but he sighed in his mouth.

Drake Dragon was stunned and couldn't help laughing. He had merged the memory of a generation of Alchemy Emperor. It seemed that that Alchemy Emperor was too arrogant.

He didn't care whether it was embarrassing or not, so he hurriedly put the five pills in his hands and looked at them carefully.

The two low-grade elixirs are round and fragrant, refreshing and invigorating when smelling them.

Drake Dragon couldn't help feeling ecstatic. A finished pill could be sold for at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins in the imperial capital.

The three waste elixirs in his hand were much better than the pills my mother had begged for. At least the essence of the medicine, 30% of the potency, was locked inside the elixirs.

If the medicinal essence accounts for 50% of the elixir, it is called a low-grade elixir, and low-grade elixirs account for more than 80% of the entire elixir world.

Sixty percent of the medicinal essence is called middle-grade elixirs, 70% is called top-grade elixirs, 80% is called top-grade elixirs, 90% is called top-grade elixirs, and 100% is called top-grade elixirs. Hehe.

Drake Dragon doesn't want to think about it now. It's too far away. Some people may think that what's the difference between 50% and 60% efficacy?

Isn't it much better to take two low-grade elixirs than one medium-grade elixir? If anyone asked this, they would be spitted to death.

In addition to the essence, there are impurities in the elixir. The so-called impurities are things that cannot be absorbed by the body. The most important thing is that those impurities will offset part of the absorption of the essence.

The so-called "three parts of medicine are poisons" is not a common saying, but a truth. When the elixir is condensed, it will inevitably produce erysipelas. This kind of poison will not cause much discomfort if it is not taken for a long time.

But as a practitioner, elixirs are often life-saving things. You don't know how much you have to take in your life. When the erysipelas in your body condenses to a certain level, it becomes a fatal poison.

Erysipelas is the most difficult poison to remove, penetrating deep into the flesh, bone marrow and even the soul. The more advanced the elixir, the smaller the side effects.

Therefore, the effect difference between low-grade elixirs and mid-grade elixirs is more than ten times, but the price difference is more than a hundred times.

Drake Dragon put away the five pills, the pill furnace and everything else. He couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.

He didn't know how long he had slept, but Drake Dragon felt a pair of warm hands caressing his cheek, and heard some faint murmurs, but he was too tired to wake up.

When Drake Dragon woke up again, it was already three days later. He was so hungry that he wolfed down a meal and started to retreat again.

After swallowing a waste elixir, he used the power of his soul to activate the power of the elixir and entered the Yongquan point at his feet, where the first star of the Nine-Star Hegemonic Body Technique, the Fengfu Star, was concentrated.

"boom"

Drake Dragon right foot shook, and the ground beneath his feet made an explosion, and cracks appeared on the ground, covering the entire room.

"Very good, we have found the meridian route and accurate location. Next, we can start the real impact."

Drake Dragon smiled slightly and took out a low-grade Fengfu Dan in his hand. He threw it directly into his mouth. An extremely pure energy burst out. Under the tug of Drake Dragon, it went straight to the Yongquan Point at Drake Dragon feet.

The spring point on the sole of the foot moved, as if the dry river bed was being nourished. With the influx of medicinal power, it was like a dragon wreaking havoc there.

"boom"

There was an explosion, and terrifying energy overflowed. Drake Dragon's body was windless, and a terrifying aura exploded. The entire room was shattered, smoke and dust filled the air, and air waves billowed.

The smoke slowly dispersed, revealing Drake Dragon handsome face. His eyes were full of excitement. He felt a small bean-shaped body at the sole of his foot. Endless energy poured into his body along the foot. Drake Dragon I wish I could look up to the sky and scream.

The movement on Drake Dragon's side suddenly attracted the attention of the entire Hou Mansion, and everyone rushed over.

Seeing his mother coming over, Drake Dragon hurriedly said: "Mom, today is the day when the prince will study in Taixue Palace, I will go there as soon as possible."

After saying that, he left a group of stunned people and a pile of tattered ruins behind, changed into clean clothes, and went straight to the Taixue Palace.
