Chapter 180: Not Popular
Li Shengnan's voice came from the small private room. When Dan Ruoruo heard this, she paused for a moment. She turned her head and looked at Li Shengnan in the private room: "Daoyou, I know you have learned my alchemy handprints, but that is just a method. To truly make an alchemy, you need to know a lot, such as the medicinal power, medicinal properties, the combination of various herbs, spiritual herbs, immortal herbs, spiritual liquids, etc., the heat of the alchemy fire in the alchemy furnace, etc. It is not something that can be fully understood overnight."
At this point, Dan Ruoruo looked at Ning Ruoshui who was following her: "Even Ruoshui only grew to her current level after I accepted her into the sect. She is not qualified to be an elder of Danding Sect..."
Dan Ruoruo's words were very impolite, making everyone else in the private room feel uncomfortable, especially Nannan, who was saved by a pill from Li Shengnan. At the same time, Sang Linglong was also a little unhappy. She knew Li Shengnan's knowledge of alchemy, and she didn't think that someone with that kind of knowledge would have a low level of alchemy. What's more, Li Shengnan had told her over and over again about the temperatures and changes required for the Dragon Blood Fiery Pill.
But Dan Ruoruo didn't know all this. Ning Ruoshui, who was beside Dan Ruoruo, was also embarrassed and said quickly, "Please don't mind, everyone. My master is quite outspoken and she won't believe it unless she sees it with her own eyes. So I'm not looking down on you. If this fellow Taoist really wants to prove it, why not go to the alchemy platform and refine a furnace of elixirs?"
"Okay, that's what I meant."
Li Shengnan stood up from her seat, opened the door of the small private room and walked out, then went downstairs along the attic stairs and headed towards the Dantai.
Seeing Li Shengnan step onto the alchemy stage, the people below the stage suddenly became agitated. Except for Ning Ruoshui a year ago, they had not seen anyone go on stage to refine pills in Dan Ruoruo's place for a long time. The casual cultivators immediately started to make a noise, while the people in the attic watched the fun. Before Dan Ruoruo on the stage gave her comments, they would not do anything rude like the casual cultivators. After all, last year there was indeed a Ning Ruoshui who was finally accepted as Dan Ruoruo's disciple.
Seeing that Li Shengnan really dared to go on stage, Dan Ruoruo's eyes lit up, and she immediately asked happily: "I wonder what kind of elixir this Taoist is going to refine? Do you need me to help you prepare the elixir furnace and elixir?"
"Don't worry, Deputy Sect Master. I have already prepared the necessary medicinal materials, and I have my own alchemy furnace."
Li Shengnan rejected Dan Ruoruo's kindness. She took out a small tripod from her storage ring. The small tripod was tattered and covered with rust. It had no luster and looked even worse than the most ordinary alchemy furnace.
After putting the small tripod on the alchemy table, Li Shengnan thought for a while and took out more than a dozen medicinal herbs from the storage ring. After taking out these dozen medicinal herbs, Dan Ruoruo knew what kind of elixir Li Shengnan was going to refine. She looked at Li Shengnan in surprise as she was preparing to refine the elixir. Aren’t the medicinal herbs she took out the same ones she used to refine the Sea of Consciousness Pill before? !
Of course, the medicinal herbs in Li Shengnan's hand were not as good as the ones Dan Ruoruo took out. Her medicinal herbs were all purchased on the market. No one would sell too precious medicinal herbs on the market, so the medicinal herbs Li Shengnan took out were only those with a medicinal strength of about 50 years. Moreover, the mind-concentrating liquid in her hand was almost entirely filled with impurities, which was a world of difference from the pure mind-concentrating liquid that Dan Ruoruo had taken out before.
Seeing the herbs in Li Shengnan's hand, Dan Ruoruo walked to Li Shengnan's side and said, "Do you need me to provide you with some better ones?"
Li Shengnan waved her hand and said, "No need. We alchemists are different from the alchemists of Danding Sect. Unless we really take the risk to collect them, this kind of medicinal material is what we can usually buy. Medicinal materials like yours are not widely available."
Dan Ruoruo was stunned when she heard this, and then she suddenly remembered the medicinal herbs that Ning Ruoshui took out from her storage ring after she came to power a year ago. Those medicinal herbs were the same as those taken out by Li Shengnan. They were not very old and had defects everywhere. It was just that she offered to help Ning Ruoshui replace the herbs at that time, and Ning Ruoshui agreed. It was the herbs she provided that made the pills refined by Ning Ruoshui much better.
"Okay, since you don't need them, I'll see how you're going to deal with these herbs."
The medicinal herbs chosen by Li Shengnan were actually not that bad. After all, she still had some spirit stones in her hand, and compared with elixirs, these young medicinal herbs were still very cheap. It’s just that most people cannot absorb all the medicinal power of these herbs, so they need to be refined into elixirs for consumption.
In fact, there were not many herbs in Li Shengnan's hands that needed to be processed. Basically, it was only necessary to remove the dead branches and rotten leaves on them, and then remove the spoiled parts of the herbs. The most troublesome thing was the spiritual liquid and the spirit-concentrating liquid. The purer the spirit-concentrating liquid was, the better the effect would be. However, the spirit-concentrating liquid that Li Shengnan took out was not pure at all. The spirit-concentrating liquid in her hand was very turbid, like a puddle of muddy water.
First, she took out a container from the storage ring and filtered the turbid mind-concentrating liquid over and over again. After the impurities in it were almost cleared out, Li Shengnan poured the filtered mind-concentrating liquid into the small cauldron in front of her. Then a trace of elixir fire appeared on her right hand. Unlike the elixir fire of others, the elixir fire in Li Shengnan's hand was white. Just that trace of elixir fire had already raised the temperature around it a lot.
Dan Ruoruo frowned as she looked at the trace of Dan Fire in Li Shengnan's hand: "What a high temperature! Won't this temperature destroy the medicinal materials?"
Li Shengnan did not answer Dan Ruoruo. She sent the trace of Dan fire in her hand into the small cauldron. The temperature that suddenly rose quickly dropped. All the temperature was in the small cauldron and no longer dissipated to the surroundings.
After the elixir fire entered the small cauldron, Li Shengnan immediately put the processed medicinal materials into the cauldron. Since the small cauldron did not have a lid, Dan Ruoruo could clearly see that the elixir fire quickly split in the small cauldron, and each medicinal material quickly dissipated under the high temperature, leaving only the pure medicinal power. At the same time, the still turbid spirit-concentrating liquid began to boil, and water mist began to condense in the small cauldron, and by the way, the pure golden medicinal power was integrated into the condensed water droplets.
Seeing this, Dan Ruoruo was a little confused. You know, with the temperature of the Dan Fire, the mist would evaporate quickly, but the mist condensed and did not disperse, turning into water droplets? So with Li Shengnan's tacit consent, she reached out to touch the small tripod, which was very cold. The high temperature of the Dan Fire did not affect the small tripod at all.
