The First Saint of Dan Dao

Chapter 198: Submission!

"We are all brothers, so I will speak frankly. If we do not consider the rank of these pills, the order of merit is Qin Yue'er first, Ge Jiao second, You Bu Tong third, and Wu Xian fourth."

After hearing Tang Yan's comments, several people couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Wu Xian's face flushed red, and he said unconvincedly: "I can only rank fourth?"

"Yes, I can only be fourth." Tang Yan nodded seriously:

“From the perspective of quality, the pills refined by Qin Yue’er are delicate, round, and smooth. The fragrance of the pills leaks out relatively slowly, and the spiritual energy is preserved for a longer time.

Ge Jiao's pills are more delicate, but not round enough.

Although You Bu Tong was only a first-level alchemist, he also achieved good results.

But the pill you make, Wu Xian, is round and smooth, but not delicate enough.

If it is not fine enough, it means that there are many pores on the surface, and the elixir will be preserved for a short time. "

After hearing Tang Yan's evaluation, Wu Xian, who was originally dissatisfied, had to admit that what Tang Yan said made sense.

"There is a failure rate in alchemy. It's not bad that Wu Xian can succeed." Qin Yue'er came to Wu Xian's rescue.

Tang Yan looked at Qin Yue'er with a smile in his eyes: "It's not just Wu Xian, I'm not satisfied with the pills you guys made."

"Hmm?" Several people looked at Tang Yan with some unfriendly eyes.

Tang Yan picked up the pill made by Qin Yue'er, put it to his nose and sniffed it gently, and said calmly: "The most extracted medicinal ingredient in the pill made by Qin Yue'er is the Baise Flower, which was extracted seven times. The other medicinal ingredients range from two to five times.

There is a delay of one breath when the medicine starts to fuse. So your pill is only of medium quality among similar pills."

Following Tang Yan's explanation, Qin Yue'er's already large eyes widened.

"You...how did you know?" Qin Yue'er asked in surprise.

"I can see that." Tang Yan smiled slightly and continued to evaluate: "Among Ge Jiao's pills, the most extracted one is the Baise flower, five times. Although this pill has been extracted less times, the other herbs have been extracted more times, so there is no failure in the pill. However, the main drug has many impurities and the quality is just average."

"..." After Tang Yan evaluated the pros and cons of the four people's alchemy steps one by one, the mentality of the few people, who were originally unconvinced, gradually became extremely shocked.

Who on earth is this guy? He can even accurately tell the number of times the medicinal materials have been extracted?

Tang Yan walked to Wu Xian's side, patted the alchemy furnace, and cleaned up the slag: "Can I borrow the alchemy furnace for a while?"

There was a flash of surprise in the eyes of the last four people. Tang Yan is also an alchemist?

"A good alchemy furnace can indeed improve the efficacy of the elixir. However, those alchemists who have reached the pinnacle of cultivation can refine elixirs below the fifth grade without using an alchemy furnace.

The quality of a pill depends largely on the method of refining it.

Take this Pure Spirit Pill for example. If you want to maximize its efficacy, the main ingredient, the Baise Flower, must be tempered at least eleven times, the Grain Flower must be tempered nine times, the Aokiji must be tempered six times, and the Pingdu must be tempered six times..."

As Tang Yan explained, he threw all the pills into the alchemy cauldron.

Baisehua, Wuguhua, Qingji, Pingdu, Nalan, Qiuhong Lingye...

As Tang Yan continued to throw herbs into the alchemy cauldron, the eyes of several people widened again. This guy threw all the herbs in at once? Isn't he afraid that the seventeen herbs will get burnt?

"If you are refining several herbs at the same time, you need to use several mental powers to detect the refining status of the herbs. Once the herbs are refined, you need to quickly put the refined pills in the secret compartment. If you don't grasp the timing correctly, the herbs will be dried up by the pill fire, and the uneven proportions when fusing the pills will affect the efficacy."

After a little over a quarter of an hour, Tang Yan had finished refining all the medicinal materials and began to melt the pills.

“The process of melting the elixir must also be gradual, but it does not mean it cannot be done simultaneously.

For example, the main ingredient, Baisehua, can be poured in together with Nalan Pingdu, and when half of it is poured in, it can be mixed with Qiuhong Lingye. Pouring several kinds of medicinal materials in layers can make the elixir more integrated..."

Time passed by minute by minute, and an hour gradually went by, but Qin Yue'er and the other three did not feel bored. Instead, they were fascinated by Tang Yan's increasingly in-depth explanation, as if the door to a new world had been opened.

It turns out that more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials can be refined and extracted together? There are so many tricks to extraction? There are such requirements for fusing elixirs?

After fusion, can you use the method of true Qi vibration to fuse the pills more evenly?

It turns out that the final step of making the pill is not started at the end, but the process of shaping the pill can be prepared when the pill is being melted?

They thought Tang Yan was just a freshman, and they were more or less dissatisfied in their hearts. They planned to find fault with Tang Yan when he was refining the elixir.

But after hearing Tang Yan's explanation, they were left with only admiration.

"Bang!" Tang Yan shouted softly and slapped the alchemy cauldron. Four pills flew out of the cauldron.

Tang Yan quickly took out the porcelain bottle to catch the pills, and then put the four pills into the hands of the four people.

"Take a look at this pill. Is it of better quality?" Tang Yan looked at the four people with a smile.

Although they had already been convinced by Tang Yan, every alchemist was still very proud in their hearts. They carefully examined Tang Yan's elixirs, hoping to find some loopholes.

The body of the pill is emerald green, with a radiant luster, as if covered with a film. It is round and delicate, and feels quite textured when pinched in the hand. The fragrance of the pill is condensed and not dissipated, not strong, but refreshing, giving people a feeling that it contains a lot of spiritual energy.

Regardless of the color or quality, the four of them were deeply impressed!

Perfect, impeccable.

"Tang Yan, I, Wu Xian, admire you!" Wu Xian looked at Tang Yan seriously and said sincerely, "Just now you pointed out the shortcomings of my elixir. To be honest, I really feel uncomfortable. Now I accept your correction."

"I'm convinced too!" Ge Jiao looked at Tang Yan with admiration, her cheeks slightly flushed. This freshman was very handsome if you looked closely.

"I admire you too. I hope Brother Yan can give me more guidance in the future." You Bu Tong bowed modestly.

"I remember a few people said before that they would only obey me in this life, but it's only been an hour and they have changed their minds?" Qin Yue'er complained quietly, causing several people to laugh.

After playing around for a while, Qin Yue'er became serious: "Brother Yan, I also respect you. Just tell us what we should do next."

Ge Jiao and others also looked at Tang Yan, waiting for his instructions.

Tang Yan pondered for a moment and asked, "When you refine pills, the quality of different batches is often different, right?"

Several people nodded.

"Why is this?" Ge Jiao was a little confused. This question had been bothering her for a long time.

"Because you are not proficient in quenching, extraction, and pill melting. The foundation is not solid, the level of each link is unstable, and the quality of the pills refined is also different." Tang Yan replied.

"I'm afraid I can't reach Brother Yan's level." Ge Jiao said with a bitter face.

Tang Yan didn't respond, but smiled and said, "Let me tell you a story."
