Chapter 18 Spirit Fire
"Hundred Flower Pills, no wonder Elder Long's medicine garden is full of flowers, so that's why."
Long Xuan's eyes turned, full of excitement.
Alchemist, he found that he seemed to be able to become an alchemist.
With his clairvoyance and slight perspective, he could see Elder Long's alchemy process at a glance. He could definitely learn the alchemy technique secretly, and occasionally get a few recipes.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
In this world, alchemists are a rarer and more noble profession than Gu cultivators.
And they have to cherish their own possessions even more, and the method cannot be passed on lightly. You can basically not buy alchemy recipes anywhere.
This also leads to each alchemist basically mastering several unique recipes, each alchemist forming his own school, and the sectarianism is extremely strong.
Now that he has the opportunity to learn the alchemy technique secretly, how can he not be excited? He was excited too many times today.
It is also because of this that alchemists are extremely rare in this world. Their rarity also leads to their extremely noble status and a very transcendent position.
You should know that elixirs can increase the breakthrough rate of Gu cultivators, and can refine life-saving elixirs that heal Gu cultivators' injuries. Some elixirs can even make Gu insects reborn and complete a metamorphosis.
Therefore, the elixirs refined by alchemists have a fatal attraction to every Gu cultivator, which also leads to every Gu cultivator trying their best to please the alchemists, and even working for them and serving them.
Therefore, every alchemist in this world has extremely terrifying connections and a wide range of friends. It is possible to make friends with any big shot.
Offending an alchemist may stir up a hornet's nest and attract countless powerful enemies.
It is also because alchemists are too rare that elixirs are equally rare, and they are far less common than in other worlds.
Long Xuan has never seen elixirs in street stalls, or it may be that this place is too barren. I am afraid that elixirs can only be seen at auctions.
If I become an alchemist, I can refine this Hundred Flowers Pill, and practice by taking drugs every day, and my practice speed may increase tenfold.
Long Xuan was excited just thinking about it, he was fed up with that damn practice speed.
Since the qualifications are not enough, then practice resources to make up for it.
If I can't buy the elixir, then I will create it myself. When the Hundred Flowers Pill is useless, I will create the Thousand Flowers Pill and the Ten Thousand Flowers Pill. Long Xuan quickly made plans for his future practice.
After making a decision in his heart, Long Xuan was fully focused and continued to observe the process of Long Lao's alchemy, even magnifying it and carefully observing its details, trying to steal the alchemy technique as soon as possible.
Soon a day passed, and Long Lao was exhausted. Finally, he finished a day's work and fell to the ground and fell asleep. The snoring was so loud that even Long Xuan could hear it from a distance.
At this time, he finally put away the Eye of Heaven. Although he looked tired, his little face was full of excitement.
This day's peeping brought him a lot of benefits.
He quickly sat down at the table and chair, took out a pen and paper and started working again.
Soon the paper was full of words, and finally he wrote the three big words "Purple Demon Flame" on the top of the paper, then he put down his pen and looked at it with satisfaction.
Flame is the secret of every alchemist, and its importance is even higher than the recipe.
Naturally, you can't use the flame produced by firewood to make alchemy.
In the Gathering Spirit Stage, you can use the flame produced by the fire spirit to make a first-grade elixir.
But if you want to make an elixir of the second grade or above, you must have a special flame. This is a hard rule. Without a special flame, you can only make the lowest grade first-grade elixir for your whole life.
Not to mention the legendary natural fire, the flames of most alchemists come from only three places.
Either find a magma land and use the earth fire to make an elixir. Or kill a fire-attributed spirit beast and use the beast fire to make an elixir.
The last one is the artificial spirit fire.
Spirit fire is a strange flame made by the alchemist through various magical means, consuming various rare materials, and the formula is extremely precious.
Spiritual fire formulas have strengths and weaknesses, and a sophisticated spiritual fire formula may not be inferior to the legendary heavenly fire.
At this time, Long Xuan recorded a spiritual fire formula called Purple Demon Flame, which is the unique secret of Old Long and the untold treasure of the Long family.
However, now Long Xuan easily got it. It was also because Old Long was careless. Why did he take such an important spiritual fire formula out of the storage bag? It was too careless.
Holding this spiritual fire formula that he had memorized, Long Xuan was so excited that he couldn't restrain himself.
With this spiritual fire formula, he can refine Purple Demon Flame and use special flames to refine pills, which can improve the medicinal power of spiritual pills and further promote his cultivation speed. He was ecstatic.
However, his smile soon stopped, his eyes were full of hesitation, and his heart became calmer.
In this world, stealing other people's untold secrets is a taboo. Once discovered, you will be beaten to death.
Although it can be used secretly without being discovered by others, all those who were caught stealing the secret thought so at the time.
Why is it so difficult to learn the unique Gu recipe secretly? Can't you kill people, seize the treasure, and torture them to extract a confession? It really can't.
The same kind of Gu worms can sense each other from a long distance. If you dare to refine the unique Gu recipe of a big clan, then wait for the whole clan to hunt you down.
Since the same kind of Gu worms can sense each other and are extremely sensitive to their own kind, will the spiritual fire also have this characteristic?
Once he refines the purple devil flame, will it be sensed by Old Long immediately, and then rush in angrily to kill him.
Long Xuan immediately shrank his neck and felt a chill on his back.
There is really such a possibility, but the problem is that he really dare not gamble. Even if there is only a 1% chance of being sensed, he will never dare to gamble.
Even if the probability is low, it is stupid to gamble with your life.
Long Xuan took a deep breath. There is no other way. Since he dare not use it, he can only create it by himself. What if he creates a spiritual fire by himself?
Long Xuan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his eyes revealed excitement.
If he hadn't obtained this spiritual fire formula, he would never have created a spiritual fire formula by himself.
Because he knew nothing about the process of making spiritual fire, even if he wanted to create his own, he would have no idea where to start.
But now that he had the formula for the Purple Demon Flame, he had a template, a format, and knew what kind of materials to use and what method to use to refine it.
As long as he followed the rules of the formula and imitated it, it might not be a difficult task for him to create a spiritual fire.
It was just a matter of how long he would work on it.
Long Xuan was excited again, and he took out a blank sheet of paper again, full of energy.
The first step to creating a spiritual fire was to think about what kind of flame he should create, what characteristics it had, and what abilities it had.
And the first thing Long Xuan thought of was the kind of flame that often appeared in novels in his previous life that emitted cold air.
But this world is not a novel, it is a real world, how could there be such a flame that violates common sense.
There has never been a cold fire that can release cold air in this world.
Burning requires the release of heat, and it is impossible to burn without releasing heat. Burning without releasing heat is completely contradictory, and it is completely impossible to achieve from a scientific point of view, and it belongs to pseudoscience.
But Long Xuan still wanted to try it once.
Anyway, it never cost anything for him to create something by himself. At most, it would waste some time. What's the harm in trying it once? What if it succeeded?
Long Xuan first created a name for this spiritual fire and wrote the four characters "Ice God Flame" on the paper.
This was already a proposition. If the spiritual fire he created next had nothing to do with the word "cold", then the remnant square would not show any progress at all, because it was inconsistent with the title and contradictory.
Propositional creation will undoubtedly increase the difficulty and waste more time.
After Long Xuan wrote down the topic, the first thing he thought of was the principle of saltpeter ice making in his previous life.
Saltpeter also exists in this world, and it is rich in spiritual power. The ice making effect may be even stronger than in his previous life.
So he didn't think about it and wrote saltpeter directly under the topic, and specially noted a large amount.
When he finished writing, he found that the progress of [0.1%] suddenly appeared on the paper, and Long Xuan was overjoyed.
He understood that he had succeeded. The fire imagined in the novel could actually be realized in the real world...
