"Yes, my sister's condition suddenly worsened after taking the elixir from Faxing Temple, and Mr. Liu and the others were helpless." Lu Xiangyi told the truth.
"When it comes to their ability to treat illnesses and save people, they are the masters of traditional Chinese medicine and are above me. I have nothing to do with the people they can't save. When Siying went up the mountain, I tested her birth date. She had a great disaster in her life.
It's a matter of life and death. I guess this is the time." Daochang Li sighed slightly.
"Then can my sister survive this disaster?" Lu Xiangyi asked hurriedly.
"Even the calamity of life and death is naturally extremely difficult to overcome and requires a lot of luck. I have been thinking about it these days and I still need the help of your friend for Siying's calamity."
"Wang An?"
Daochang Li nodded.
"Last time I observed that he had the appearance of a heavenly being and a human being. Such a person must have great opportunities and good fortune."
"Could it be that the Taoist Master wants to take away his fortune?"
"Seizing good fortune, haha, how is that possible! How can good fortune be so easy to take, let alone heavenly beings." Daochang Li smiled after hearing this.
"It's not about taking away, it's about borrowing. As the saying goes, "A person can achieve enlightenment, a chicken or a dog ascends to heaven." He has great fortune, and the people around him will also have great opportunities, just like you. As his cultivation improves, you will also receive benefits.
, but it’s only sooner or later, what you have to do now is to help him as much as possible.”
"Can he save my sister?"
"The abilities of heavenly beings are beyond your imagination, and the beauty of Qi is also beyond ordinary people's imagination." Daochang Li said.
"Back then, it took my master nearly a year to understand the secrets of Taoism. Your friend was only a few years old, and his cultivation has reached this point. What will happen next? Although your sister is destined to suffer a calamity, her appearance does not seem to be short-lived.
People, don’t be too anxious.”
Even though Daochang Li said this, Lu Xiangyi was still very anxious.
"My master used to like to sit here and watch the clouds and realize the Tao. It lasted for decades. I have been watching here for thirty years, but I still haven't realized my Tao. Xiangyi, what do these clouds and mist look like?
Yeah?" The old Taoist pointed at the clouds and mist floating in the mountains in front of him.
Lu Xiangyi looked at the clouds and mist in front of him. How could he be in the mood to look at the clouds and mist now?
"Just like life, things are impermanent, and the clouds are also impermanent."
"Yes, yes." Daochang Li nodded.
On Yuxiao Mountain, Wang An has packed up the cave and moved some tools for refining medicinal materials.
He set up a pot in the cave, lit a fire, and prepared to boil the medicine.
The refining of "Qi Yi Dan" does not require the kind of alchemy furnace described in the novel, but uses ancient methods to combine the power of various medicines to make pills.
Some medicinal materials need to be ground into fine powder, some medicinal materials need to be boiled into paste, some medicinal materials need to be boiled and only the soup is taken, and all the medicinal materials are blended together to make elixirs.
The water used to make the elixir must be from mountain spring water, which must not be contaminated. During the process of making the medicine, it must not be touched by gold or iron, that is, it must not touch metal.
The pot used for refining medicine can be a casserole pot or a clay pot made by ancient methods, because some Chinese medicinal materials may react with iron pots, aluminum pots and other utensils during the cooking process, affecting the efficacy of the medicine.
In addition, it would be better if jade utensils can be used for grinding, mixing or storing some medicinal materials. Wang An has asked Li Xinzhu to help him prepare some jade grinding tools.
Li Xinzhu was confused when he received Wang An's call, "I've heard of jade bracelets, jade pendants, jade Guanyin, and jade Buddha. This is the first time I've heard of this jade pot. What do you use it for?"
"Pharmaceuticals."
"Pharmaceutical? What kind of medicine? It has to be of such high standards. Please tell me the size."
Wang An agreed with Li Xinzhu about the size, and then started processing Polygonum multiflorum.
It wasn't the 120-year-old Polygonum multiflorum he bought, but the large-scale cultured Polygonum multiflorum bought from a general medicinal material dealer. He planned to practice using these medicinal materials first.
First wash it with clean water, then soak it for twelve hours, wash it again, remove the impurities, drain the water, cut it open, cut it into pieces, dry it and then boil it with licorice, dry it in the sun after cooking, and then steam it, nine steaming and nine
After drying, the Polygonum multiflorum is ready to be cooked.
During this process, Wang An took ordinary ginseng, put his palms together, and used his strength. After a while, he opened his palms and saw that the ginseng was broken into pieces, and some ginseng juice dripped into the bowl.
Poria cocos is boiled into a paste by adding mountain spring water in a casserole.
…
[After a period of study and practice, you have gained a lot.]
Beginner’s practice of alchemy: 9/999.
"New skills?" Wang An was slightly startled when he saw the prompt.
Five days later, Li Xinzhu came to the mountain with a wooden box and found Wang An who was refining medicinal materials in the cave.
"Are you making alchemy?" Li Xinzhu was very curious as he looked at some tools in the cave. "Hey, why didn't I see the alchemy furnace?"
"I haven't reached the stage of using an alchemy furnace yet, and not all elixirs require an alchemy furnace." Wang An said with a smile.
"I brought you what you asked for." Li Xinzhu picked up a large box. After opening it, there were two small pots made of sapphire. "
"two?"
"Good things come in pairs. You are in a hurry. If the time is shorter, if the time is longer, I can find better jade and make this pot more beautiful."
"This is already very good, thank you."
"Why are you being polite to me? There are also two jasper knives, given by the carving master."
Li Xinzhu looked at the pots and jars in Wang An's cave as he spoke.
"What's this?"
"Poria paste is edible."
"What does it do?"
"Strengthens the spleen and removes dampness."
Li Xinzhu reached out and picked a little and tasted it.
"This has no taste. You have to add some sugar, honey or something like that."
"This is medicine, not a dish. You can't season it at will, otherwise it will affect the efficacy of the medicine." Wang An said with a smile after hearing this.
"Are you still ready to practice swordsmanship?" Li Xinzhu looked at the ancient sword standing aside.
"I don't have any plans for this at the moment. I picked this up while I was outside." Wang And said.
"I picked it up, it looks very valuable." Li Xinzhu took a sword in his hand and danced it, and stabbed it towards a rock on the side. The tip of the thick ancient sword suddenly sank into the rock, and there was almost no impact.
Effortless.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hey, this, this is a sword!" Li Xinzhu said in surprise as he looked at the ancient sword in his hand.
Wang An responded and went not far outside the cave to wash these jade utensils with mountain spring water.
"The preparations are almost complete. Now we can start preparing the elixir."
"When you are refining the elixir, do you have to be in seclusion for seven to forty-nine days like Taishang Laojun, without anyone disturbing you?"
"It doesn't take that long. You really need to avoid being disturbed as much as possible." Wang Andao said. Refining the elixir requires concentration.
"How long do you estimate it will take?"
"It won't take too long, maybe ten days will be enough." Wang And said.
"Then you need to have a good meal before you go into seclusion to refine medicine."
"No need, just be normal." Wang An said with a smile.
Li Xinzhu didn't stay in the mountain for too long before he said goodbye and left.
Wang An continued to practice in the next few days. Through this period of practice, Wang An's skills in preparing medicinal materials and refining potions continued to improve, becoming more and more proficient.
He felt that he should try to make a real "Yi Qi Dan".
Before making the elixir, he first prepared firewood for the fire, dug a small pool next to the mountain spring next to the cave, and piled stones around it for easy access to water.
After getting ready, he went down the mountain to have a good meal, purchased some things, and rested for a day. Then he went to the mountain and started to refine the "Qi Yi Dan" according to the prescription.
The medicinal materials used this time were all bought at a high price, including wild ginseng that was a century old, Polygonum multiflorum that was a hundred and twenty years old, Poria cocos and Roucong rong.
He has been practicing how to handle these medicinal materials these days, and this time he handled them as carefully and conscientiously as if he had done them for the first time.
Not only because the combined value of these medicinal materials has exceeded two million, the principles of refining medicine and practicing martial arts are the same, you must be serious and sincere.
The purpose of practicing Qigong is to strengthen the body and to surpass oneself; the purpose of refining medicine is to cure diseases and save people, so there should be no carelessness.
The first thing to deal with is the 120-year-old wild Polygonum multiflorum. This medicine needs to be concocted, steamed and dried nine times, which takes the longest time.
It is better to wash it with spring water first, soak it for a period of time, then wash it, boil it with licorice, and then steam it in a pot. After steaming, it is dried, and then steamed again. It takes several days to process this medicine alone.
Fortunately, God is very kind today and the sun is shining brightly all day long.
After preparing the Polygonum multiflorum, he then processed the Poria cocos, cut the Poria cocos into small pieces, took the best part and slowly boiled it to make a paste. The heat should be controlled well, without bubbles or boiling, and simmered slowly over a slow fire.
, it also takes some effort and some concentration.
Fortunately, Wang An meditates on weekdays, and his mind has been tempered to be calm. It is not a problem to sit for several days, and there is no problem in brewing medicine.
The paste is temporarily stored in a jade box and will be mixed with other medicinal materials later.
Centennial ginseng was crushed into fine powder with both hands, the soup was collected, and the dry matter was ground into fine powder.
Processing of medicinal materials piece by piece,
After the Polygonum multiflorum is processed, the remaining medicinal materials should be processed within two days, and then refined into elixirs in the morning.
The final refining is mixing various medicines in certain proportions.
The emperor and his ministers left envoys,
Various medicinal powders are boiled in different proportions, mixed with concoctions and ointments, and slowly rolled into pills.
The sun rises and sets, day after day,
The firewood in the cave never went out, it was always burning with flames.
Twelve days later, in Wang An's jade box, there were two pills with circular patterns on them, which were the colors of different medicinal materials.
After a lot of medicinal materials and several days of hard work, I only got these two pills.
There are no strange phenomena such as pills appearing, dragons and tigers appearing, winds and clouds changing colors, but there is some unique medicinal fragrance that floats far away.
"More than two million dollars to make two?"
Wang An looked at the medicinal materials aside. Not all of these medicinal materials were used. Some only used the juice, and some only used the core.
"That's all, these two are enough."
Wang An sealed the elixir with a pre-prepared plastic wrap and stored it in a jade bottle. He packed up the tools and medicinal materials in the cave and went down the mountain.
He returned to the mountain village and rested for three days.
Eat well, drink well, sleep well, recharge your batteries, practice Tai Chi during the day, and read a few Taoist scriptures at night.
Three days later, he set out early and arrived at Yuxiao Mountain before the sun rose, and then took the first "Qi-Yi Pill".
After the elixir entered his abdomen, he didn't feel anything unusual at first. After about ten minutes, he felt a little bloated, as if there was a ball of air or water in his stomach with nowhere to go, and that ball of air had nowhere to go.
, the amount of water in that pool of water is still increasing.
Wang An hurriedly practiced the exercises, starting with Wu Qin Xi. After practicing for a while, the feeling weakened a bit, and then he felt that the zhenqi in the sea of qi seemed to have increased. After a while, the feeling of abdominal distension reappeared.
.
Then Wang An changed the exercise method to the Yi Jin Jing, and then he began to urge the true energy in the body to move upward along the human veins. The true energy went up, and after passing through the internal organs, it immediately strengthened a bit.
The pill he swallowed dispersed in his body, turned into a cloud, and then into raindrops. The original Qi was like a small river, not even a trickle.
, it rains non-stop now, and when there is more water, the creek turns into a small river, flowing happily.
Wang An took this opportunity to activate his true energy, starting from the lower Dantian, passing through the perineum, passing through the anus, along the crest of the spine, leading to the tail gate, through the three passes of the crest and the jade pillow, to the mud ball on the top of the head, all the way up.
Previously, I lacked true energy and didn't rush in enough to break through the barrier. This time, I went all the way up, passed several barriers, passed the back of the spine, came to the neck, passed the big vertebrae, and then rushed upward to open the Feng Mansion, like the top of my head.
Hui point,
Wang An decisively felt a stream of qi in his body, which started from the tail vertebrae and reached the top of his head. This qi was neither cold nor hot, neutral and peaceful.
When he passed Baihui, he felt his head buzzing for a moment, and he felt like he was in a daze. He hurriedly stabilized his mind and controlled his true energy. He passed the top of his head and then downward. Then he separated from the ears and cheeks and went down.
The tongue is a bridge, connecting with people, from top to bottom, and then into the sea of Qi. This is the Little Zhoutian.
Wang An trembled all over, feeling an indescribable feeling.
Before the medicine was used up, he activated the Qi movement again. Repeatedly, she became more proficient in the movement and had more Qi.
When he opened his eyes again, the sun had already set, and the mountains were still in front of him, but when he looked closer, they were somewhat different.
He saw the veins on the leaves dozens of meters away, and he heard the sound of insects moving through the soil.
He raised his palm and let his true energy move up the meridians, passing through the Taiyin and Lung meridian into his palm. He pressed his palm against the stone wall and his palm immediately sank into the rock.
He closed his eyes and made a silent calculation. According to his daily practice, it would probably take at least a year for him to cultivate so much infuriating energy.
[When you take Qi Yidan, the true energy in your body will be improved, your five senses will be improved, and your physical fitness will be improved.]
A series of system prompts,
"This elixir is a good thing!"
He didn't take the second pill while the iron was hot. He planned to wait for another two days to see.
