After Yu Lie left the Yaofang Hall, he only took a stroll in the alchemy room and then returned to the quiet room of Dukou.
Back at Dukou, work had not yet ended, and all the Taoist boys in Dukou were very busy with complicated things.
Fortunately, Yu Lie is no longer a low-ranking Taoist boy. He no longer has to deal with chores every day, and there is an experienced old Hutou in charge. He can easily be a hands-off shopkeeper and feel very comfortable.
Yu Lie pretended to be wandering around in his mouth, and after encouraging a few poison-extracting Taoist boys, he returned to the quiet room.
As soon as you enter the quiet room, there is no need to wait in line to mix incense and light candles. Someone has cleaned the quiet room early and lit the incense burner, making the quiet and elegant room quiet and elegant, which is conducive to cultivation.
He sat in front of the desk and placed several prescriptions he had retrieved from the prescription hall one by one in front of his eyes.
There were five of them in total, and the extra two were what he asked for after getting close to Fang Wu Mutao.
Although Yu Lie did not get along well with the Fang family and his son, he was happy to get some benefits from it, and it also helped to ease the relationship with the other party.
After all, although Yu Lie has now been promoted to a middle-rank Taoist boy, his status and strength have greatly changed, but the old man is the hall master, a high-ranking Taoist boy, so Yu Lie still has to take it easy and avoid direct conflicts for the time being.
Looking at the five prescriptions on the table, Yu Lie knocked on the table, thinking endlessly.
These prescriptions include pills and powders, and involve a variety of drug categories. He carefully selected them after listening to Wu Mu's suggestions.
Among them, some use tiger meat to make medicine, some use Ganoderma lucidum to grind it, and the rest are additionally selected herbal elixir recipes, which are made from common ginseng and other herbal medicines.
However, the one that Yu Li valued the most was a prescription called "Yu Belly Peizhu Strong Blood Pills", which was the most suitable for his consideration and use.
The other four are just used by him to deceive others and serve as a reference for practicing.
Yu Lie glanced at the other four prescriptions, unfolded the newly printed Qianxue Pill prescription, and studied the specific contents carefully.
This pill is somewhat similar to the elixir called "Fish Foam Belly Essence Pill". It is based on live fish and implements the living animal elixir method.
To make this pill, you need to cut out the fish eggs from the belly of the fish, mix them with specific medicinal powder, soak and cook them, and soak the fish eggs in your own blood to get mung bean-sized fish eggs.
Finally, the fish roe is put back into the belly of the fish, and the fish roe is used as a roe, just like an old mussel pearl, so that the roe absorbs the flesh and blood essence of the living fish, and finally produces a few blood-colored pills the size of longan.
Just this one blood-strengthening pill, taken by a middle-level Taoist boy, can support at least three hours of practice, and can also nourish the body and fill the stomach. There is no upper limit to the amount that can be taken every day!
Its only drawback is that the materials it requires are of the finest quality and are expensive.
However, this shortcoming is not a shortcoming at all for Yu Lie. He has a bronze wine cup in his hand, so he can "pass it off as a good one"!
After reading through the prescription, Yu Lie's face was full of joy. With the help of Qianxue Pills, he would be able to maintain his previous progress and complete the transformation and digestion of the copper tendons and iron bones in just a few months!
This made Yu Lie excited: "Being an eighth-level Taoist disciple in three years is definitely not a luxury!"
Immediately, he began to think about how to purchase various alchemy tools.
There are three treasures in alchemy: altar, alchemy furnace, and fire.
The Dharma altar is a place where Taoists perform religious rituals, make fasting rituals, hold magical instruments, perform religious teachings, pray and perform Nuo dances, etc. It is not only used for alchemy, but also for Taoist daily life and cultivation.
The most basic one is a stone altar or earth altar, which is convenient for Taoists to place things; the better ones are made of various fragrant woods and jade stones, which are piled up and repaired. They have exquisite arrangements and can burn incense and place flags to help Taoists calm down; the more advanced ones are
, are drawn with runes, arranged with arrays, array flags, bells, futons and other objects, which are all magic weapons, which can increase the success rate of Taoist practice, alchemy, and weapon refining...
The alchemy furnace is naturally the furnace for alchemy. The flesh and blood elixir method actually also requires an alchemy furnace.
Fire is the driving force for cooking alchemy furnaces and refining medicinal materials, similar to the fire used to cook rice. However, Taoists making elixirs also have high requirements for fire, and it cannot be done by ordinary fire.
And the word "fire" in the word "fire" refers not only to the flame, but also to the heat.
In special alchemy methods, such as water washing, thunder refining and other methods, spiritual water, spiritual liquid, thunder, spiritual sand, special blood and other substances are used as "fire" to refine the medicinal materials and adjust the heat of the alchemy. It is just common.
The "fire" required for the elixir recipe still exists in the form of flame.
It is a pity that Yu Lie can only buy the "Dharma Altar" now, and he has no chance to obtain the latter two.
Because the latter two are not obtainable by just a Taoist boy.
The tool that can truly be regarded as an alchemy furnace must not be an ordinary pottery pot or iron pot, but must be an artifact with magical effects, and it must be at least an eighth-grade high-quality blood vessel.
Not to mention fire. The alchemy disciples in the alchemy room of Blackwater Town all use animal charcoal to make elixirs. At most, they add some special powder to increase the temperature and properties of the charcoal fire.
Yu Lie thought that perhaps only in the hands of the temple masters in the town could there be qualified alchemy fire.
As for himself, he would have to spend a lot of money to build an altar that was even remotely useful.
Yu Lie wondered whether he should spend a lot of money to set up a method altar in the quiet room to facilitate his alchemy.
For a moment, Yu Lie became entangled. After all, his time as the leader of the poisonous gang was still short, and he had not yet had time to enrich his own pockets, so he was still poor.
Yu Lie was confused while studying the prescription.
The next day, he finished struggling, packed up and went out, intending to buy some materials to build an altar. After all, an altar like an altar can be used not only for alchemy, but also for cultivation.
But a surprise came suddenly!
As soon as Yu Liefu opened the door, Luobotou heard the noise and came over. After the other party ran over, he shouted with joy:
"Brother Yu, it's good, it's good!"
Yu Lie was a little confused, so he was dragged by Carrot Head towards the door of the alchemy room.
As soon as they arrived at the door, there was a group of Taoist boys carrying burdens, bowing and saluting the rest of the group.
Someone among them was holding a red booklet and singing:
"Following Master Fang's instructions, I present to Master Yu: a square piece of Chinese ink jade, three piles of thousand-year-old bricks and tiles, a purple sand incense burner, a futon with gold and silver threads, five celadon candlesticks, three carved and hollow porcelain vases, and golden nanmu
Three incense sticks, one Yangzi jade slip, thirty flags, fifty smokeless incense candles...as a gift for promotion!"
In addition to the Taoist boy who delivered the gift, the middle Taoist boy from the nearby entrance also came over. The other person was talking about it and was looking at the cargo load and the remaining columns with envy.
Yu Lie was startled for a moment, and immediately understood, what was he missing?
The gifts that Old Man Fang gave him were of various types, and they sounded like a bunch of things. But they were exactly what was needed to decorate an exquisite altar, especially the square ones carried in the hands of a few strong men.
The Han ink jade stone, cut open, is the main body of the altar!
Although there are no blood vessels among these many things, if Yu Li were to buy them, it would not take a year and a half and a salary of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan to buy them. Because some goods are still rare, and you have to wait for the opportunity, such as the thousand-year-old
Bricks and tiles are antiques but not antiques, and they can enhance the heritage of the altar.
A look of joy suddenly appeared on Yu Lie's face. He raised his hands towards the person who gave the gift, and then nodded to several middle-level Taoist boys who were even more enthusiastic than yesterday.
He knew that the enthusiasm on the faces of these middle-ranking Taoists was mostly due to the realization that Mr. Fang was really the "backer" behind him.
Standing among the congratulations of everyone, Yu Lie recalled all the things that had happened in the past few days after he was promoted to the middle Taoist rank, and he was filled with emotion.
Just being promoted to a middle-rank Taoist boy, his current status is completely different from the scene when he first entered Blackwater Town and the alchemy room!
For a moment, Yu Lie thought again:
"If I were to be promoted to a high-ranking Taoist boy, or even an eighth-level Taoist disciple! I wonder what kind of faces and attitudes these people would have?"
Suddenly, Yu Lie wanted to refine elixirs in his heart, and he was even more motivated to practice!
Next, he didn't pretend to refuse the gift, he accepted it immediately, and without him having to do anything himself, the guys in Dukou took the gifts from Old Man Fang one by one and moved them into Dukou's quiet room.
Yu Lie only needed to stand at the door, talk to the visitor, and ask Mr. Hu to follow him back and bring his words of thanks, that was enough.
Once the work was completed, Yu Lie returned to the quiet room empty-handed but full of achievements.
