Chapter 418 Automatic alchemy machine

  The monks in the Qi training period started the competition first. While watching the competition, Lord Jian chatted with Jiang Li: "Sovereign Bai Hongtu seems to like to divide the ranks very much. I heard that he once advocated dividing the pills into ranks one to nine, with nine ranks, among which the first rank is the highest and the ninth rank is the lowest. But for some reason, there was no news about it afterwards."

   "The reason is very simple. The grading of pills is based on efficacy, and some pills are not easy to determine. For example, the Yangyang Pill produced by Hehuanzong can be taken from the Yuanying to the Qi training. Do you think the Yangyang Pill is the ninth grade or the fifth grade?"

   "Yangyang Pill?" Jianjun was unfamiliar with the name of the pill.

   "Oh yes, it was called Hehuan Dan in your time."

   "Another example is the detoxification elixir. Poisons below the golden elixir stage can be detoxified, and it is not easy to determine the grade."

   "Another example is the Jiuzhuan elixir, which is of the highest grade and the most poisonous. Whoever eats it will die."

  Jiangjun asked again: "Then how about dividing the grades according to the difficulty of refining?"

   "Good question, presumably in the era of the Sword Lord, the effect of the pill was directly proportional to the difficulty of refining it. Now it's different."

  Jiang Li pointed to Su Wei: "Did you see that Su Wei? He started it. He created a pill called Fuqi Pill. It needs to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one days of sacrificial refining. There are more than ten kinds of precious main medicines and thousands of auxiliary medicines. When the pill is completed, there will be pill thunder."

   "Such an amazing pill, how effective is it?"

   "Increase the success rate by 20% when monks in the Qi training period build their foundations."

   "What?" Jian Jun thought he had heard it wrong, and based on this complicated process, he believed that it was for the monks in the transformation stage to break through the integration stage.

  In the end, you told me that this is for the Qi training period?

   "He created Fuqi Pill not for eating, but for showing off skills, and the efficacy of medicine is second."

   "Later, Huang Chengdan, the patriarch of the Spirit Medicine Sect, not to be outdone, also created a elixir that is complicated to refine, but its effect is not as good as drinking plain water."

   "The two fought and created a lot of similar recipes."

   "Later, the alchemy world created a vocabulary to describe the behavior of these two people."

   "What is it?"

   "Shui Dan Fang."

   "..."

  In the arena, many young alchemists during the qi training period showed their skills, and they wanted to show their creative alchemy techniques in front of the elders in the alchemy world to win attention.

  The conference was presided over by the Spiritual Medicine Sect. They provided each contestant with a pill furnace without wisdom for the competition, but some people found another way and didn't want to use the pill furnace provided by the Spiritual Medicine Sect.

  For example, Jiang Li noticed that a small alchemist took out a nuclear induction cooker to make alchemy.

  The nuclear induction cooker is imported from the world of ringing bells.

   "Ten grams of leafy flowers, 16.8 grams of dried sandworms... Put it into the wall breaking machine, start it, and pour the powder into the pot..." The little alchemist babbled about the steps, following a step-by-step plan, and carried out alchemy in an orderly manner. It seemed rigid, but the effect was unexpectedly good.

  Jiang Li nodded lightly: "The cultivation level of a monk during the Qi training period is too low, and he is not good at controlling the flame temperature. This induction cooker is much more convenient."

   "And the alchemist has to focus on two tasks, while controlling the temperature of the flame, while adding medicinal materials, which is still too difficult for the Qi training period. Using an induction cooker can also avoid this problem."

   "Innovative mind, good."

  In addition to using the induction cooker to make alchemy, there are also a series of kitchen utensils imported from the world of ringing bells such as rice cookers and nuclear heat cookers to make alchemy, and the results are very good.

  Using these things to make alchemy looks different from the overall style of Kyushu World, but the effect is just as analyzed by Jiang Li, quite brilliant.

  In the end, the alchemy furnace won the first place, and a talented orthodox little alchemist won the second place, but the third place was the person who used the induction cooker.

  You must know that the alchemy talent ranked third is far from being excellent, but just average.

  The head of the Spiritual Medicine Sect nodded in satisfaction. The third place was a disciple of the Spiritual Medicine Sect. This disciple proved that lack of talent can be made up for by external force.

  The pursuit of their elixir sect has never been number one, but sales volume and price.

  Using induction cooker and rice cooker to make alchemy means that the cost of training low-level alchemists will be greatly reduced, and the production of elixir will increase. In the low-end market, it is impossible for alchemy peak to compete with them.

   When it came to the foundation building competition, a certain alchemist took out something he had never seen before.

   "Everyone, please look, this is an automatic alchemy machine jointly developed by Lu Banzong and a pharmaceutical group in the world of ringing bells. You only need to put the raw materials of the elixirs in, and the elixirs can be produced automatically."

   As the alchemist said, he put the pills in, and as the machine shook slightly, grains of black pills spit out.

  The alchemy speed is faster than all the alchemists and alchemy furnaces present.

   "Look, in this way, Peiyuan Pill can be refined, and the utilization rate of medicinal materials is more than 40%. If we continue to research and develop, we can continue to improve the utilization rate of medicinal materials."

  The elders in the alchemy world were very surprised. The utilization rate of 40% of the medicinal materials was not low for alchemists in the foundation building period.

   "Oh, pure machine production, no soul." There are also old people who disdain this production method, thinking that it deviates from the original intention of alchemy.

  However, considering that the alchemist on the field is originally from Lu Banzong, he has no original intention of alchemy.

   They just want to make money.

  A veteran in the alchemy world stepped forward to check: "The very common Peiyuan Pill, the advantage is that the pill is produced quickly and saves manpower."

  This automatic alchemy machine might be able to be promoted in Kyushu, and some elders in the alchemy world came up with this idea.

  Su Wei looked at the suzerain of the elixir sect with great interest: "Old Huang, why didn't your elixir sect invent this thing, but was preempted by Lu Banzong?"

   "Do you think I haven't thought of this method? Lu Banzong's efficiency is fast, but how can it cultivate a real alchemist?"

   "This thing has a lot of limitations, and it can't make complex pills. If everyone uses Lu Banzong's stuff, the number of alchemists will be reduced. If things go on like this, the overall number of alchemists will decrease, and the number of high-level alchemists will also decrease. Who will be responsible for refining high-level pills?"

   "I let the monks in the Qi training period use the induction cooker because there is no need to control the firepower during the Qi training period. In the foundation building period, the firepower problem can be solved naturally. In the Jindan period, they don't need the help of technology at all, and return to the original alchemist training route."

  Although the Spiritual Medicine Sect likes to win by price, they are also alchemists, and they also pursue higher levels of alchemy. They think that relying too much on automatics is restricting themselves.

   Speaking of this, the suzerain of the elixir sect frowned slightly. It is a good thing that he persisted, but Lu Banzong's stuff did seriously threaten their market, and he has not thought of a good solution yet.

   "Let's take one step at a time and see one step at a time." The master of the elixir sect sighed. Connecting to other worlds and encountering new technologies is both an opportunity and a challenge. At the same time, it is too difficult to stick to one's heart.

  His remarks made Su Weigao glance at him.
