The First Saint of Dan Dao

Chapter 336 If Mr. Tang can do it

"This Fengyuan Pill requires a total of eighty-seven kinds of medicinal materials, and it takes an hour to quench and extract them. Ming Shao Tea Core, extract four times. Ming Luo Fruit, extract four times. Huoyang Branch is the most in number, and Chen usually refines it five times." The gray-robed old man said proudly.

"If we refine it like this, the high-quality rate should not reach 30%. 20% is already the upper limit." Tang Yan frowned.

The old man in gray was shocked. What Tang Yan said was indeed true. The success rate of refining this pill by himself could reach 80%. However, the chance of refining the pill to top quality was indeed less than 20%. But, how did this kid know that?

As if seeing the confusion in the gray-clothed old man's eyes, Tang Yan explained: "If you want to refine this pill into a top-grade quality, the Ming Shao Tea Core should be quenched six times, the Ming Luo Fruit should be quenched six times, and the Huo Yang Branch should be quenched nine times. Only by refining it in this way can we ensure that the pills refined are all top-grade pills."

At this moment, not only the old man in gray, but everyone present showed a mocking look towards Tang Yan.

A slightly plump alchemist laughed and said, "Master Tang, since you don't know how to make an elixir, we won't laugh at you.

Fengyuan Dan requires many medicinal materials to be refined. Ming Shao Tea Core and Ming Luo Fruit can be refined four times, and Huo Yang Branch can be refined five times, which is already quite rare. If you want to refine more times, you can't finish it in one hour.

By then, the other medicinal materials that have been tempered will also lose their efficacy or even be damaged because they have been exposed to the fire for too long, and the entire furnace of elixirs will be wasted!"

"Yes, that's true. Moreover, this is only a third-level low-grade elixir. If it is a higher-grade elixir, it would be extremely difficult to reach the top quality!" Ming Lie added.

"If you plan your time right, refining top-grade elixirs is not that difficult. Of course, there is a prerequisite, which is that your basic skills must be solid. This is why I asked you to practice the basics of alchemy!" Tang Yan finally stated his purpose.

However, Tang Yan's words obviously added fuel to the fire, making everyone angry.

In everyone's eyes at this moment, Tang Yan is the kind of person who pretends to know everything and always gives orders.

"If Lord Tang can do it, I, Ning, will follow Lord Tang's lead in the future and have no objection to anything you ask me to do!" An old man with a long beard snorted coldly.

A lean middle-aged alchemist also laughed and said, "Pavilion Master Ming has a black crystal cauldron. You can borrow it. If you can do it, or think someone can do it, you can invite him to come and demonstrate it to everyone in person."

If I succeed, Master Tang will let me practice the basics of alchemy one million times, and I will have no complaints! "

……

Looking at the alchemists who were talking at the same time, Tang Yan did not interrupt them. Finally, the ridicule from the crowd weakened.

Tang Yan then took a step forward and asked, "As long as someone can do it, will you all listen to me?"

Seeing Tang Yan's confident look, the crowd did not feel too worried, but instead found it quite funny. One person said with a smile: "Master Tang, as long as you don't call Elder Ling, we have no objection."

"Master Ming, do you have any opinions?" Tang Yan asked Ming Lie.

Ming Lie also felt that Tang Yan was bragging, so he shook his head and said, "Ming has no objection either."

"Xuan Jing Ding." Tang Yan uttered three words.

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed slightly. This guy actually wanted the Mystic Crystal Cauldron, could he really want to make an elixir?

But who is going to make the elixir? Could it be the guy who came with Tang Yan?

This kid's soul power seems to be average, he is not an alchemist at all.

Ming Lie was stunned for a moment, but still released the Black Crystal Cauldron.

When Tang Yan saw the crystal clear alchemy cauldron, a trace of amazement flashed in his eyes, and he praised: "What a good cauldron, it is indeed extraordinary."

"Master Tang, what's good about it?" asked the gray-clothed alchemist.

Everyone thought that Tang Yan was pretending to know everything, and they were looking at him with interest, waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

Tang Yan patted the body of the tripod and said gently: "The Black Crystal Tripod is not made entirely of black crystal.

As we all know, black crystal is opaque, but it has one function, which is that it is very resistant to high temperatures, so it is also an excellent material for making alchemy furnaces.

The reason why the alchemy cauldron is transparent is that the main component of the material used to make the alchemy cauldron is silicon cloud ore. The silicon cloud ore is burned at high temperature until it becomes transparent, and then quickly fused with the black crystal to be directly cast into the alchemy cauldron.

This process needs to be done in one go, otherwise it will be a failure. There should be no such process in the whole incense industry."

“The Black Crystal Cauldron is easy to use and easier to observe. It can be used for teaching purposes.

However, the initial reason for the appearance of this alchemy cauldron was that some dandy young men wanted to show off, so they specially asked a master of casting to cast it. Eventually, it became a means for some wealthy children to compete with each other. Later, it was introduced by the alchemy forces for teaching purposes.

This tripod is of inestimable value. I didn't expect Pavilion Master Ming to have such a precious thing!" Tang Yan exclaimed.

And everyone was stunned at this moment.

How did this guy answer so professionally? He even knew the origin and forging method! Could it be that this guy made an alchemy furnace?

Even some alchemists were not clear about what he said.

"Master Ming, is there anything wrong with what I said?" Tang Yan turned his head and looked at Ming Lie.

Ming Lie smiled bitterly and sighed, "Your Excellency is very knowledgeable and impressive. I didn't expect that Your Excellency Tang has such a deep research on the alchemy furnace."

Hearing Ming Lie's compliment, everyone was shocked again. It seemed that everything Tang Yan said was correct.

Tang Yan did not waste any more words, and skillfully lit the furnace. A few words floated out of his mouth: "You think that practicing the basics of alchemy is a waste of time, but when Tang makes alchemy, he pays great attention to the basics.

Since I started learning alchemy, I have not dared to slack off in my practice. The longer I persist, the more important I feel the foundation.

Please also take a closer look at how people who are familiar with the basics of alchemy refine pills!"

As Tang Yan finished speaking, he threw herbs into the cauldron one after another like flowers scattered by a fairy.

Everyone was dumbfounded at this moment. Could this guy actually make the elixir?

If so many medicinal herbs are thrown in together, won’t they turn into a furnace of charcoal?

The Black Crystal Cauldron was transparent to begin with, and everyone was staring closely at the medicinal herbs.

Soon, everyone discovered that the situation they expected of the Chinese medicinal materials being burned into charcoal did not occur. After more than ten kinds of medicinal materials fell into the alchemy furnace, Tang Yan began to refine and extract them in an orderly manner.

The mouths of the alchemists gradually opened wide.

Originally, they were dismissive of Tang Yan's alchemy and just watched from afar, but at this moment, everyone gathered around him. The originally spacious place was immediately surrounded by more than a hundred people.

Dosing, quenching, and extraction.

There are eighty-seven kinds of medicinal herbs, and everyone is busy and flustered trying to refine them all.

But in Tang Yan's hands, the originally complicated procedure turned out to be so simple, clear and beautiful!
