C18 Success

Looking at the fiery red liquid floating in front of him and feeling the burning hot Qi surging on it, Ouyang Yuye's breathing became much faster. After several hours of refining, the first step was finally completed.

He wiped the sweat on his forehead. It was similar to this kind of mind consuming task. Ouyang Yuye also felt a little tired. After a few hours, he felt even more tired than after a battle. Fortunately, his efforts were not in vain. Apart from making a mistake when he started to burn the green leaves, the other steps were relatively safe.

Looking at the glaring sunlight outside the house, it should be lunchtime. The crystal must be completed by the second day. This way, he would have some chances of winning in the entrance exam of the Royal Academy. Therefore, the second step was extremely important. After meditating for a while to recover, he continued to temper his body.

He poured the red liquid into the jade bottle and looked at the four jade bottles placed in front of him. The most important part of refining a crystal was the second step of merging. Because each material had its own characteristics, forcefully fusing it would inevitably result in rejection. Moreover, he had to condense it. Hence, he had to be careful and cautious.

The refinement of the alchemy not only required one to be able to control one's soul force flexibly, but also to be able to control it. More to familiarize yourself with the properties of every material. After learning the soul saber, Ouyang Yuye could barely attempt it. However, it was not easy to master the ingredients. He had been experimenting with all these ingredients. So, in the field of alchemy, destroying ingredients was a common occurrence. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that alchemy was a profession that burned money.

He carefully picked up the jade bottle containing the Emerald Grass and Blue Spirit Fruit. As for the Emerald Green Leaf, it had burned half of it. When he thought of this, he felt a wave of heartache. Even if he successfully refined all of them, he would only be able to refine seven crystals. He carefully shook out a drop of medicinal liquid from each of the two jade bottles. Wrap it up with soul force.

Taking out the summary, he spread it on the ground and found the page where the ingredients were refined. The summary was very detailed and listed all the ingredients. Blue Spiritual Fruit: Cold It was used to neutralize the manic aura within the Soul Beast's crystal core, making it more gentle and easy to control. Otherwise, with the manic nature of the crystal core, a moment of carelessness might cause it to explode and ruin everything.

The green leaf's temperature was a spirit medicine that removed impurities. It was best to use it to remove the impurities within the Soul Beast's crystal core. Therefore, these two materials were essential for refining crystals. However, as the grade of the crystals increased, The corresponding year of the material also has to be increased. For example, the material used to refine a tier 1 crystal is 10 years old. When refining Tier 3, it would be exchanged for a hundred years.

Ouyang Yuye smacked his lips and was endlessly shocked. If this continued, he would probably not even be able to afford medicinal herbs in the future. The alchemy was indeed the first choice to squander.

According to the method of extracting, the two drops of medicinal liquid were slowly placed together and placed on the flame. They began to burn. Under the roasting of the flame, the two drops of medicinal liquid slowly condensed. However, they did not merge with each other. Instead, they were like Yin Yang Dualfish, each taking up half of the medicinal liquid and rotating under the wrapping of soul force.

"Oh? Can't I?"

Ouyang Yuye's eyes focused. His soul power surged and contracted instantly. He forcefully squeezed it upwards. Immediately, the originally balanced medicinal liquid began to gradually compress. The calm medicinal liquid also began to shake violently.

Bang!

Under Ouyang Yuye's pained expression, it splashed out and dripped into the brazier, turning into a wisp of green smoke.

Ouyang Yuye was dumbfounded. It seemed that he was still too impatient. He rubbed his numb eyes and shook out two more drops. This time, he was not in a hurry to obtain success. Instead, he let it burn non-stop. Finally, a moment later, the two types of medicinal liquid began to slowly assimilate. Although the speed was very slow, it finally allowed him to see a trace of hope.

Another hour passed and the medicinal liquid finally merged half. This made him somewhat doubtful. Could it be that the speed of refining crystals was so slow? Even he himself did not believe such an explanation. A mere Tier 1 crystal was already so long. Could it be that a high level one would need to refine for a few months?

But he quickly discovered the problem. It was because of refining the container! Because the brazier's diameter was very large, it caused the flame's burning to be very uneven. When he was refining it, he had to continuously flip it over. Naturally, the speed would be greatly reduced. However, because his soul force needed to be constantly controlled, it made Ouyang Yuye's control over soul force even more easily by accident.

After figuring out the reason, he became even more determined to find a tempering furnace.

Another two hours later, the medicinal liquid was completely fused. The color was different from before. The medicinal liquid that was fused had a kind of emerald green color. The translucent appearance made Ouyang Yuye fonder of it.

After the first success, Ouyang Yuye's confidence doubled. He did the same thing and merged the remaining few drops of medicinal liquid together. Apart from the time when he lost a single drop due to his absent-minded state, there was nothing wrong with the rest of the medicinal liquid.

Looking at the eight drops of green medicinal liquid floating in front of him, he took a deep breath and shook out the fiery red liquid from the jade bottle. He divided it into six parts and felt the rich heat on it. He flipped to the crystal to condense one part.

This abstract was extremely useful. All the knowledge of the alchemy was available, including the steps of refinement and the amount of materials used. It could be called the encyclopedia of the alchemy. Under the imitation of the cat drawing a tiger, he could feel the essence of the crystal.

The summary introduced this step in detail, so Ouyang Yuye would not be unable to understand it. After reading it carefully a few times, he closed the abstract. He closed his eyes and thought about the refining process. There was basically no problem. There were only some things that he needed to pay attention to, other than adding Hundred-herb Vines when the crystal was condensing and rolling. As for the specifics, they could only be found during the experiment.

Although the summary was detailed, it could not take into account all of the sudden situations. There were many things that even the old man from the Ji Family could not take into account.

For example...

He did not think of Ouyang Yuye using a brazier, so...

Ouyang Yuye's body shook. He looked at the liquid that had turned into green smoke and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He tried again, but the result was the same. Under Ouyang Yuye's expectant gaze, he exploded into ashes.

After failing twice, Ouyang Yuye didn't dare to act rashly anymore. Now there were only four portions left, so he could only experiment very carefully. However, no matter how careful he was, once placed on the brazier, he would instantly burn to ashes. It made him feel very helpless despite his heartache. In a short while, there were only four lumps of medicinal liquid left.

His brain rapidly pondered over the problem, but he was unable to figure it out. There was no problem with the operation process. Then could it be...

Ouyang Yuye looked at the brazier and thought of this. Could it be because of the uneven burning? The flame in the brazier spread out, causing the bottom of the medicinal liquid to come into contact with the source of the fire. As a result, it was condensed quickly. The upper part was condensed slowly, causing the condensation to be uneven, causing the medicinal liquid to be scrapped.

After pondering for a long time, it seemed that this was the only reasonable explanation. Ouyang Yuye clenched his teeth and once again condensed his soul power to wrap around the medicinal liquid. He threw the fiery red liquid into his hand. As soon as it entered, it wrapped around the medicinal liquid. Ouyang Yuye's gaze was fixed on the ball of liquid.

According to his speculation, the soul power wrapped around the bottom of the liquid was thicker. The upper part of the soul power was slightly lighter. He nervously threw it into the flame. The flame instantly rose and swallowed the medicinal liquid. This time, the medicinal liquid was not destroyed as usual. Instead, it showed signs of condensing. Ouyang Yuye could not help but be overjoyed.

"As expected!"

He firmly watched the continuously rolling and condensing liquid. At this moment, the liquid was continuously rolling and being kneaded into various shapes. Suddenly, the liquid violently shook. It was like boiling water, rolling and emitting white gas.

"Now is the time!"

Ouyang Yuye's eyes focused. He grabbed the bottle containing the Hundred-herb Vine and flicked his finger, injecting it into the rolling liquid.

The moment the Hundred-herb Vine entered, the boiling liquid stopped rolling. Instead, it was rubbed together with the Hundred-herb Vine, and gradually broke away from the liquid state. It turned into a cuticle shape, and a diamond-shaped model appeared.

He slowly exhaled. According to his previous experience, he had also refined the other three medicinal liquids.

At this moment, Ouyang Yuye was sitting cross-legged. In the brazier in front of him, four diamond-shaped crystalline objects were rotating and floating. There was a continuous crackling sound.

Next, it was time to mold them. He flipped to the part where the crystals were drawn and started to consider what type of crystals should be made. He flipped to the fire element book. There were two types of level one fire crystals. They were offensive skills, Cannon, and auxiliary skills, Fire Soul.

Cannon fired fire elements through the sulfur cannon. It was a single individual attack skill. Fire Soul shot out fire elements from the sulfur cannon, causing the enemy's skin and body to be attacked by fire elements.

Looking at the four solids floating in front of him, he decided that two would be refined into cannons, and two would be refined into the Soul of Fire.

Refining cannons required two continuous tempering of the solids, forming the most basic crystallization state. As for the Soul of Fire, it only needed to sprinkle some fire sand.

He threw the two embryonic crystals into the brazier and continued to burn them. Then, he sprinkled some fire sand on the other two crystals and continued to temper them.

After the molding, it became solid. This was the last stage. This stage did not require any technique. It was fine as long as the flame did not stop halfway. However, this process was also the longest. Ouyang Yuye wasn't in a hurry. He quietly waited for the crystal to be refined. He didn't know how long he had waited. Other than Lin Xuan who came to call for dinner, no one else came.

He sat there for the entire night. The time of the crystal's refinement was far beyond his expectations. By the time he woke up from his training, the crystal had reached its final stage. The crystal was now in the shape of a rhombus. A gentle ripple slowly spread out.

"Smack! Smack!"

With a crisp sound, the four crystals were like a chain of crackling sounds. Ouyang Yuye's eyes focused. "Is it finally going to be completed?
