Dou Po: The Alchemist from the Ye Family

In the red medicine cauldron, the silver-white flames reflected on the surrounding walls, baring their teeth and claws like ghosts.

Ye Chen's face was serious, and he was still a little nervous...

There is no way, after all, it is the first time to experiment with his own hands. Even though he has already mastered everything by heart, and there is an ancestor reminding him at any time, he still gets nervous when he should be nervous.

"Don't worry, take your time, get acquainted with this medicine cauldron first..." The ancestor's gentle voice rang in his ears, which eased the tension in Ye Chen's heart a lot.

Under Ye Chen's control, the flame turned around in the medicine cauldron, raising the temperature in the medicine cauldron evenly, and then suspended in the center of the medicine cauldron, waiting for medicinal materials to be put in.

For Ye Chen who owns the spark, this first step of refining medicine has a great advantage.

One must know that even at the level of a fighting master, many people simply cannot condense real fire out of thin air. They need to rely on the special structure of the medicine cauldron to generate flames with their own fighting spirit...

Not to mention the temperature of such fighting qi flames, just because it requires a lot of fighting qi to spawn, it is doomed to consume a lot.

Seeing Ye Chen finish the preparations so easily, the patriarch of the Ye family nodded in satisfaction, the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden no matter what.

"Control the flame so that its temperature does not change drastically, and gradually increase the temperature in the medicine cauldron..."

After hearing the reminder, Ye Chen just nodded slightly, controlling the flame to keep it constant.

This shows the key point of the 2 points of fire control he added...

You know, for a novice pharmacist, among the two major hurdles he needs to face, the first is to be able to stably control his own flame.

After all, the temperature of the flame in the medicinal cauldron is very high, and many medicinal materials have very strict requirements on the temperature. A slight difference may cause damage to the medicinal materials, and the refining will naturally fail.

In addition, the remaining second level is naturally the control of soul power...

Seeing that Ye Chen's preparation steps are going very smoothly, the smile on the face of the ancestor of the Ye family is even stronger...

He took out a gray scroll and said softly: "This is a prescription for a first-grade healing medicine. On it are the names of the required medicinal materials, the degree of refining, and the ingredients of the medicinal materials that need to be refined. You should try it first."

Ye Chen took the scroll and looked carefully...

It's just a first-grade healing medicine, which is the simplest type, so there are not many medicinal materials needed, only three kinds.

"Congealing blood powder requires one blood coagulation grass, two muscle growth grasses, and one moon lotus flower."

Coagulation powder is a general term for a very common general-purpose healing medicine, and they are all named after the main drug Coagulation Herb.

But because the prescriptions of each family are different, the auxiliary medicines required are also different, which leads to the different quality of coagulation powder produced by different pharmacists.

Ye Family's Congealing Blood Powder is considered to be of the top class. After all, the Raw Muscle Grass and Moon Lotus Flower are not low in value, and their medicinal effects are also very strong.

Similarly, this will increase the difficulty of refining medicinal materials.

Generally speaking, only those who have reached the peak level of a first-rank pharmacist, or a second-rank pharmacist can guarantee a [-]% or more alchemy rate.

Of course, Ye Chen only needs to be able to successfully extract the medicinal materials now, and does not need to consider the subsequent work of medicinal fusion and configuration.

After carefully memorizing the requirements and key points of the prescription, Ye Chen took a deep breath and started his first extraction of medicinal materials.

Picking up a somewhat dark red Blood Coagulation Grass that was placed beside him, without hesitation, he threw it into the mouth of the ferocious beast on the top of the medicine cauldron...

As soon as the Blood Coagulation Grass entered the medicine cauldron, before Ye Chen could react, the silver star flames thumped and wanted to pounce on it.

Ye Chen was taken aback by this, and in a panic, he tried his best to calm his own flames.

Seeing Xinghuo who had calmed down, Ye Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief...

I thought this first time would end in just a few seconds.

Seeing this, the ancestor of the Ye family nodded in satisfaction, "Yes, the reaction is fast, and the control of the flame is not bad."

This situation was originally in his expectation.

And the reason why I didn't remind Ye Chen in advance is because I want him to experience it personally, and then deepen his memory...

It's just that Ye Chen's performance was even better than he expected.

Hearing the ancestor's praise, Ye Chen felt a little proud, but just because of this slack, the temperature of the spark in the medicine cauldron instantly went out of control for a second...

Although it was only for a second, looking inside the medicine cauldron, a blood coagulation grass had turned into pitch-black ashes, and was finally expelled from the cauldron by the special settings in the medicine cauldron.

Ye Chen's face darkened, he was slapped in the face, right?

Sure enough, there is no room for slack in this thing.

Seeing this, the ancestor of the Ye family just smiled slightly, without any other expressions, but comforted: "It's okay, it's the first time, there will inevitably be accidents. Try again and it will be..."

Anyway, the ancestor of the Ye family prepared a lot of medicinal materials this time, so that this kid can make it vigorously, and let you practice until you can successfully refine it with your eyes closed, and then start to combine medicines at that time.

Ye Chen naturally didn't know about his ancestor's terrifying thoughts, otherwise he would just find a way to run away at this time.

This first failure actually aroused his competitive spirit. After calming down a little, he picked up a blood coagulation grass again and threw it into the medicine cauldron.

Of course, refining medicine is really not an easy task...

Although Ye Chen has natural flames and powerful soul power, these are only the prerequisites for him to become a high-level alchemist. To truly become a qualified alchemist, these talents alone are not enough.

"The temperature is high, so don't be impatient when refining the medicinal materials. A slight temperature difference can cause damage to the medicinal materials..."

Looking at the blood clotting grass that was burned again, the ancestor of the Ye family still had a calm face and a gentle tone of voice.

It's just that Ye Chen became a little anxious at this time.

After all, it has been refined more than ten times in a row, but only four or five times were successful. Most of the medicinal materials were either because of high temperature or low temperature, and most of them were damaged due to temperature out of control.

Seeing that Ye Chen's mood had begun to become agitated, the patriarch of the Ye family didn't force him anymore, but asked Ye Chen to go out to rest for a while with a few words.

After all, the current Ye Chen is not even a fighter. Although he has the help of Xinghuo, every time he refines it four or five times, his fighting spirit is almost consumed. Next, he needs to rely on pills to recover before continuing.

This kind of high-intensity refining is indeed a bit embarrassing for a child who is only five or six years old.

After Ye Chen left, Ye Zhong came out from the dark.

Obviously, when Ye Chen was refining medicinal materials, he was both the head of the Ye family and the grandfather of Ye Chen, so he couldn't help but want to take a look.
