I have nightmares to get stronger

Chapter 34 Failure
The key to cooking the holy light potion is the heat and the timing of adding the talisman of pregnancy. If the heat is too high or too low, the cooking process will fail, and the timing of adding the talisman of gestation will also fail. It must be golden in the potion. color, it will succeed only if it is immediately invested in the talisman of pregnancy.

As time went by, the liquid in the cooking pot quickly became viscous. While stirring to prevent sticking to the pot, Han Dong sketched the talisman of the pregnant spirit in his mind.

After a while, the liquid at the bottom of the pot began to change, and a faint yellow color emerged. Han Dong hurriedly poured the Pregnant Spirit Talisman into the pot. The liquid with small bubbles suddenly boiled, and a stream of Hot air wafted out of the pot, and after a while, a layer of water mist formed on the ceiling of the kitchen.

"Ahem, this smell is a bit choking!" Han Dong covered his mouth and nose, and frowned. A dusty and muddy smell slowly radiated from the kitchen, as if there were tiny particles. The breath enters the lungs, making the lungs a little dull.

Han Dong quickly opened the window, his heart sank, and he felt that this refining was probably going to fail.

Sure enough, after a short while, all the water vapor dissipated, leaving a layer of gray viscous liquid at the bottom of the pot, which looked like a puddle of sticky phlegm stained with dust, which was a bit disgusting.

Han Dong poured out the failed liquid with a blank face, and then vigorously washed the cooking pot. If the cooking pot was ruined because of refining the Holy Light Potion, Han Dong would feel bad even if his mother didn't scold him. .

After rinsing for more than 20 minutes, the unpleasant smell in the cooking pot disappeared. Han Dong sighed, rubbed his slightly swollen temples, returned to the bedroom, and began to enter a state of meditation to recover the exhausted mental power.

Han Dong, who was mentally exhausted, felt dizzy for a while, wishing he could lie on the bed and sleep immediately, but he still endured the pain and sat cross-legged on the bed to meditate.

More than two hours later, Han Dong's mental strength fully recovered.

"Hey, I feel that my mental power seems to be a little more than before. Could it be that it has improved again?" Han Dong suddenly felt that the "quantity" of his mental power seemed to have increased a little, as if his spiritual attributes had improved again a little.

However, in the real world, there is no way to digitize his spiritual power so that he can see it at a glance. Only when he enters the nightmare world can he know exactly how much mental power he has.

"Deplete your mental power, and then use meditation to restore it, can you quickly break through the upper limit?" Han Dong's mind flashed: "Is this the so-called extreme cultivation method? In this way, I don't have to be afraid of exhaustion of mental power. damage to the body!"

This method of consuming all mental power and then recovering with meditation to increase the upper limit of mental power can only be used in the real world. In the nightmare world, once the mental power is exhausted, it will directly wake up from sleep. There is no way to use this extreme cultivation method.

"Haha, I finally found a way to practice quickly in the real world!" Han Dong smiled slightly and let out a sigh of relief, which was a surprise.

In the real world, once he practiced meditation, it was easy to enter a "full of energy" state. In this state, Han Dong didn't feel sleepy at all, so he couldn't enter the nightmare world at night.

Moreover, the effect of practicing meditation in the real world is no longer obvious. It is far less effective than practicing meditation in the nightmare world. Therefore, Han Dong seldom practices meditation in the real world. At most, it consumes too much mental power. , use meditation to recover.

"Since the mental power has recovered, do you want to refine it again?" Han Dong thought in his heart: "But before refining, let's summarize the previous failure experience."

After getting out of bed, Han Dong came to the desk, spread out a piece of white paper, and began to summarize the whole process of refining the Holy Light Potion for the first time on it.

"Although the first refinement failed, it also proved the feasibility of using kitchen utensils to refine the Holy Light Potion. The effect may be worse than that of alchemy equipment, but the overall impact is not great, and many details can be improved..."

"The time of steaming the herbs is too long, which makes the herbs too pulpy and loses some of their essence. In addition, when using the spirit-absorbing talisman, the amount of herbal essence absorbed is less than the requirement in the formula. It should be caused by cooking and grinding. In order to reduce the loss, the next refining needs to increase some doses..."

"When drawing the talisman of the pregnant spirit, it should be done in advance. When refining for the first time, the input time of the talisman of the pregnant spirit was a little slower, and the timing was late. This is probably the main reason for the failure of the refining. It is said in the recipe, The timing of casting the Pregnancy Talisman is very important..."

……

Han Dong wrote three whole sheets of paper. After finishing writing, he realized that there were so many problems in his first refining. He couldn't help but sigh. It seems that alchemy is much more difficult than he imagined.

"Pharmaceutical refining is only the most basic knowledge in alchemy. Afterwards, there are refining spirit patterns, refining spiritual weapons, and refining spiritual soldiers and puppets. Everything is a hundred times, a thousand times more difficult than refining pharmaceuticals..." Han Dong thought in his heart secretly.

This knowledge is recorded in the essays of the alchemist Peinqui, but it is only mentioned in passing, and there is no corresponding refining method.

A dozen pieces of sticky notes under the experimental table not only recorded the process of refining the holy light potion, but also revealed the greatness of alchemy between the lines. With Peinqui as an official alchemist, it is only Being able to refine medicine, he didn't even dare to try the content behind alchemy. One can imagine how vast and complex the content of alchemy is.

Han Dong went through the whole process of refining the Holy Light Potion in his mind again, before preparing for the second refining.

At this moment, Han Dong suddenly heard the sound of the key opening the door. He checked the time and found that it was already twelve o'clock in the evening. It should be that his mother came back from get off work.

"Do you want to enter the nightmare world to refine?" Han Dong hesitated, but at this time he was in a state of "rejuvenation", and he couldn't enter the nightmare game in this state.

"Refine it again, no matter if you fail or succeed, you will be able to drain your mental power, and it will be easier to fall asleep!" Han Dong thought to himself, put a portion of the Holy Light Potion's ingredients in his pocket, and walked out of the house.

"It's so late, haven't you slept yet?" Mother seemed a little surprised when she saw Han Dong come out.

"Well, I'm a little hungry, go to the kitchen to find something to eat." Han Dong said.

The mother smiled at Han Dong, and said, "Don't study too late, this time the mock test is good, and the progress is great!"

In the past two days, my mother left early and returned late, and almost never met Han Dong, but after the mock test results, Han Dong put it on the coffee table in the living room, and my mother should have seen it after get off work at night.

"Well, the next mock exam, try to get into the top ten, or even the top five!" Han Dong laughed.

"Okay!" Mother laughed, with a look of relief on her face: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, it's good to be in the top ten!"

Mother also knows that the higher the ranking, the more difficult it is to improve, and sometimes it takes a lot of effort to get into the first place.

"Understood, mother should go to bed earlier." Looking at his mother's old face, Han Dong felt inexplicably sour.My mother is only in her 30s, but now she looks like she is in her 50s. The heavy labor has overdrawn her health.

"Well, you should go to bed early too." With a tired look on her face, the mother walked slowly towards the bathroom.
