Chapter 424: The failure of the first alchemy, continuous attempts and improvements
Lin Feng and his companions worked hard on the path of alchemy and gradually mastered some techniques. However, their first attempt at alchemy was not smooth sailing.
In the alchemy room, the fire was burning fiercely. Lin Feng and others gathered around the alchemy furnace, looking nervous and focused.
"Is everyone ready? This is our first attempt at refining a difficult elixir, and there must be no mistakes." Lin Feng looked at everyone with a firm gaze.
Wang Meng wiped the sweat from his forehead and held the herbs tightly in his hand. "Brother Lin, I'm ready. I won't make any mistakes!"
Zhao Xue took a deep breath and said, "I have no problem with that either. I will do my best to assist you all."
Li San pushed his glasses up. "I've already calculated the ratio of herbs and the timing of the spiritual energy injection over and over again. There shouldn't be much deviation."
Lin Feng nodded, "Okay, let's get started!"
Wang Meng was the first to put the first herb into the alchemy furnace, and a burst of smoke instantly rose from the furnace.
"Oh no, the fire is too fierce!" Zhao Xue exclaimed.
Lin Feng hurriedly adjusted the heat, "Don't be anxious, hold steady!"
Li Sanze was concentrating on calculating the time to inject spiritual power.
"Now is the time to inject spiritual power!" Li San shouted loudly.
The four of them injected their spiritual power into the alchemy furnace at the same time, and light flickered inside the furnace.
However, as time went on, the alchemy furnace began to shake violently and make ominous noises.
"Oh no, it's getting out of control!" Lin Feng's face changed drastically.
"What should we do? Brother Lin!" Wang Meng panicked.
"Don't panic, everyone, control it with all your strength!" Lin Feng shouted.
Although they tried desperately to stabilize the alchemy furnace, they were ultimately unable to prevent it from exploding.
"Boom!" With a loud noise, the alchemy furnace shattered into pieces and smoke filled the entire alchemy room.
"Cough cough cough..." Everyone was choking with smoke and coughing.
"This...how could this fail?" Wang Meng looked frustrated.
Zhao Xue looked at the messy alchemy room, her eyes filled with disappointment. "We were obviously very careful."
Lin Feng dusted himself off and comforted everyone, "Don't be discouraged. This is just the first attempt. We'll figure out the problem and we'll definitely succeed next time."
Li San squatted on the ground, carefully examining the remaining herbs and the fragments of the alchemy furnace. "I think there's something wrong with the rhythm of the spiritual power injection, which has caused the power in the alchemy furnace to be unbalanced."
Lin Feng thought for a moment, "That makes sense. The order of adding herbs may also need to be adjusted."
Wang Meng stood up and said, "Then let's start over again. I don't believe that we can't figure out this alchemy!"
Zhao Xue also cheered up, "Yes, failure is the mother of success, we can't give up."
Lin Feng looked at everyone's determined eyes and said, "Okay, then let's clean up the alchemy room first, prepare the herbs again, and try again!"
Everyone started to get busy, cleaning the alchemy room and selecting new herbs.
"I must succeed this time!" Wang Meng secretly encouraged himself.
Lin Feng once again checked the steps and precautions for refining the elixir, "Everyone remember your respective tasks, and don't make any mistakes."
"Don't worry!" everyone answered in unison.
However, what they didn't know was that this failure had attracted the attention of some people within the Immortal Sect...
Lin Feng and others failed in their first attempt to refine the elixir, but they were not discouraged. Instead, they became more determined to succeed.
After the alchemy room was cleaned and re-prepared, Lin Feng and others stood in front of the alchemy furnace again.
"This time, we must succeed." Lin Feng's eyes were full of determination.
Wang Meng clenched his fists and said, "That's right, I don't believe it!"
Zhao Xue nodded gently, "Come on, everyone."
Li San pushed up his glasses. "After the last failure, we have done sufficient analysis and adjustments. It should be fine."
The alchemy began again. Wang Meng carefully put the herbs in the new order, being extremely cautious with every step.
"The temperature is well controlled this time." Lin Feng kept an eye on the alchemy furnace.
Zhao Xue cast a spell to precisely regulate the temperature, and beads of sweat covered her forehead.
"The time for injecting spiritual power is approaching, everyone get ready." Li San reminded.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the crucial moment.
"Now!" Li Sanda shouted.
The four of them injected their spiritual power into the alchemy furnace at the same time. The light inside the alchemy furnace flickered, but this time there was no violent shaking as before.
"That's great, it seems to be stable." Wang Meng said excitedly.
However, just when they thought everything was going well, a pungent smell suddenly came from the alchemy furnace.
"Oh no, this taste is wrong!" Lin Feng frowned.
Zhao Xue's expression changed. "Is it going to fail again?"
"Don't panic, hold on a little longer." Lin Feng said.
Despite their efforts, the elixir was not finally refined.
"Oh, why did I fail again?" Wang Meng sat down on the ground, his face full of frustration.
Lin Feng was also a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up, "Don't be discouraged, let's analyze where the problem lies."
Li San carefully recalled the entire process, "I think there might be some issues with the quality of the herbs, which affected the formation of the pill."
Zhao Xue said, "It's also possible that the fusion of our spiritual powers isn't perfect."
Lin Feng thought for a moment, "No matter what, we can't give up, keep trying."
In the days that followed, Lin Feng and his companions continued to try to improve their alchemy methods. They searched for higher-quality herbs, consulted other alchemists for advice, and even sneaked into the immortal sect's Sutra Library to search for ancient alchemy manuals.
Once, in order to search for a rare spiritual herb, they went deep into the forbidden area behind the immortal gate.
"Everyone be careful, there is said to be a powerful guardian beast here." Lin Feng reminded.
"What are you afraid of? With Brother Lin here, we will definitely be able to get the spiritual herbs." Wang Meng said.
Sure enough, a huge one-horned dragon appeared in front of them.
"Oh no, it's a one-horned dragon!" Zhao Xue exclaimed.
Lin Feng stepped forward and said, "Don't panic, I'll attract its attention. You can take this opportunity to pick the spiritual herbs."
"Brother Lin, be careful!" Wang Meng shouted.
Lin Feng fought a fierce battle with the one-horned dragon and suffered multiple injuries.
"Brother Lin, we have picked the spiritual herbs, let's go!" Wang Meng shouted.
Lin Feng fought and retreated, and finally everyone successfully escaped from the forbidden area.
With the precious spiritual herbs, they began to try to make elixirs.
After countless failures and improvements, their alchemy skills gradually improved.
"This time, I have a feeling that I will succeed!" Lin Feng said.
Everyone gathered in front of the alchemy furnace again, and began to refine the elixir with great anticipation...
