Chapter 32: Xiao Bing
In the quiet cave behind the Xiao family mountain.
After sending Xiao Yan away, Xiao Bai came here alone. As for the auction, he was not interested.
In the original book, the most valuable item in this auction seemed to be a high-level Xuan-level exercise "Wind Scroll Art", which was bought by the Jia Lie family.
There was also the "fake" second-grade elixir made by Yao Lao - the foundation-building spirit liquid.
He didn't need these things, so why would he go there? He might as well make some medicine to accumulate some experience.
After Xiao Bai sat down on the boulder where he usually practiced, he felt a little excited. He took out the ebony tripod and put it on the ground, and then took out the medicinal materials and sorted them one by one.
Refining medicine is a delicate job, and you can't rush it. Xiao Bai's mood also slowly calmed down during the time he sorted out the medicinal materials, and his heart was as calm as water. After sorting out the medicinal materials, he carefully read the refining foundation and elixir formula given by Yao Lao again, and kept thinking about where to start.
After all, he didn't use a proper way to refine medicine.
However, after thinking for a while, Xiao Bai found that with his current knowledge of alchemy, he could not come up with anything no matter how hard he tried, so he had to put his thoughts aside and planned to use the dumbest method.
—— Reckless!
There is a saying in the previous life that what is learned from books is shallow, and you must practice it to know it! Only in practice can you find out what problems will arise.
If there are problems, try to solve them little by little in the process, otherwise he, a novice in alchemy, will not be able to see the point no matter how hard he tries.
Xiao Bai does what he says. He does things vigorously and vigorously. Although he likes to plan before acting, once he makes up his mind, he will start to act.
The first step in alchemy is to extract the essence of the medicinal properties in the medicinal materials.
Xiao Bai mobilized a trace of Ice Flame Thunder in his body and put it into the ebony tripod to maintain it. The soul power picked up a purple sun fruit, carefully put it into the tripod, and slowly approached the Ice Flame Thunder jumping in the tripod.
"Crack!"
The purple sun fruit in the cauldron was charred as soon as it came into contact with the Ice Flame Thunder. Xiao Bai took it out of the cauldron, held it in his hand, and gently squeezed it. The charred purple sun fruit turned into powder and fell from his fingertips.
This is not a purple sun fruit, it is clearly a piece of charcoal!
Xiao Bai's face was a little dark. This was already the minimum amount of Ice Flame Thunder he could control, but the purple sun fruit couldn't bear even a little Ice Flame Thunder. What kind of pill was he still refining?
Thinking of the fire attribute Dou Qi mentioned in the basics of refining medicine, after inputting it into the medicine refining cauldron to produce flames, it is necessary to mobilize the wood attribute in the body to neutralize the Dou Qi flames so that it can last longer.
Xiao Bai planned to try a second time, and threw another purple sun fruit into the cauldron, first mobilizing a trace of Ice Flame Thunder, and then mobilizing a trace of Wood Thunder to melt it in.
However, as soon as Ice Flame Thunder came into contact with Wood Thunder, the power doubled, double the thunder attribute, among which wood can produce fire, causing Ice Flame Qi to be more violent.
Xiao Bai took a look and dispersed the thunderbolt directly without putting it into the cauldron.
This is even more powerful than before. You don't need to try to know the result of putting it into the cauldron. You will definitely get more charcoal than before, not the essence of the medicine.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Bai touched his chin with a bit of confusion and fell into deep thought. It's reasonable to say that the flame transformed from Dou Qi is not powerful and will not burn the medicinal materials, but the power of the Heavenly Flame is not small!
The Heavenly Flame can refine the medicine so that the medicinal materials will not turn into charcoal, why is this the result here?
"Is it because I don't have enough control over the thunderbolt?"
Xiao Bai mobilized a trace of Ice Flame Thunder to wrap around his fingertips, silently looking at the jumping thunderbolt, muttering.
Xiao Bai was not in a hurry to try to refine medicine at the moment. He thought he should adjust the way to control thunder first.
The previous way to control the thunder in his body was to make them as powerful as possible. The Ice Flame Thunder in his body had not been fully refined, and he had not studied this thunder carefully.
But it was obviously not possible to refine medicine in this way now. Simply put, the method was too rough.
The soul power of the late mortal realm burst out and probed into the Ice Flame Thunder on his fingertips. His soul power was not damaged.
The part of the soul power released felt a tingling and hot feeling, which was very comfortable.
Xiao Bai carefully sensed this Ice Flame Thunder, wondering if he could separate the Ice Flame Qi and thunder that were combined. If they could be separated, refining medicine would be much simpler.
But after several attempts, Xiao Bai found that it didn't work. The origins of these two things were now combined, and there was only one origin. It was impossible for him to succeed in that step with his current strength.
"Since it cannot be separated, then try to suppress the thunder in the center and keep the Ice Flame Qi to the outside!" Xiao Bai thought silently.
He tried to use part of his soul power to control the thunder attribute to go to the center. He also used part of his soul power to try to control the Ice Flame Qi to gather to the periphery, so that he did not need to separate the Ice Flame Thunder, and he could use the Ice Flame in the periphery to refine medicine.
At first, Xiao Bai was a little clumsy. After all, this required a very high level of soul power application. He had to do three things at once, controlling both the thunder attribute and the fire attribute, and also using part of his mind to maintain the overall balance.
However, as time passed, he felt more and more proficient.
The Ice Flame Thunder on his fingertips now looked like a swaying red flame on the surface. When he got closer, he found that there was a small red thunder ball floating in the center of the flame, which was very beautiful.
Occasionally, a flash of thunder and lightning would flash on the red flame, which was not because Xiao Bai's soul control was not good.
Instead, the two are of the same origin. The lightning in the outer flame cannot completely disappear, just like the lightning ball in the center cannot turn into silver-white lightning. It is already the limit to reach this point.
Although he successfully achieved his expectations, Xiao Bai was not happy at this time, but a little bit confused.
To maintain this state of Ice Flame Thunder, he must maintain one mind and three functions, which consumes a lot of mind. He feels that he can't maintain this state for too long.
Next, he will use soul perception to refine medicine. This requires one mind and four functions. Who can bear it!
Besides, refining medicine is not something that can be done overnight, but it takes a long time to control the temperature of the flame and sense the state of the medicinal materials, which consumes a lot of mind.
"What should I do?"
Xiao Bai's mind turned rapidly at this time, thinking about how to solve this problem.
But after thinking for a long time, Xiao Bai felt a little bit at a loss.
"If Ice Flame Thunder can maintain this state by itself, it will be great?" Xiao Bai murmured after a long time without any clue.
Suddenly, he sensed a little movement in his body, and Xiao Bai hurriedly looked inside himself.
He found that the Ice Flame Thunder in his heart seemed to sense his thoughts, and also seemed to sense the state of the Ice Flame Thunder on his fingertips, and began to change spontaneously.
Could this guy be able to change into the state of the Ice Flame Thunder on his fingertips?
Xiao Bai was a little surprised, and looked at it with a little expectation, maintaining the state of the fingertips thunder, and silently said:
"Xiao Bing, good boy, come on!"
