Take out the various medicinal plants, gold and stones harvested previously from the Taoist temple and place them in front of you.
Chen Yu weighed and identified them one by one. Combining the descriptions of pharmacological and medicinal materials in the medical elixir volume and the modest accumulation of his predecessor, he barely recognized them all.
Picking up a prismatic crystal, he found it in a forest of rocks thousands of miles away after crossing the Baiqi Mountains, and unearthed the best-looking part from the depressions that looked like natural mines.
"In my memory, this thing is called mountain crystal. It is not very rare and precious. It has the function of promoting blood circulation and curative effect after neutralizing some medicinal materials."
Shanjing is the name of the locals. In fact, Chen Yu had seen this kind of steel-gray crystal in his previous life. It is an unknown raw material for medicinal materials, a kind of pyrolusite.
It is also used as an ingredient to remove blood stasis and stop bleeding, reduce swelling and relieve pain.
In addition to mountain crystals, he also has several types of stones on hand, some of which look plain and simple, while others have a somewhat metallic color, but are actually still earth and stone.
"Mountain crystal, stone marrow, sheep's golden eye..."
Most of the gold and stones have vague impressions, and they may have been seen in the previous life, but the names are different, and the specific usage may change due to the difference in the elixir recipe.
Holding the reddish-brown stone marrow in his palm, Chen Yu pondered for a moment, and finally took two different prescriptions from "Fengpu Sandan".
This time, he was not going to follow the rules and refine the pills in the elixir book step by step. Instead, he planned to mix some gold and stone into it and try the famous pill cauldron method.
"The refining methods are mostly the same. There are only a few of them. The gold and stone you have may need to be fried a bit, but the rest of the steps are pretty much the same."
Just pay attention to removing the poison.
Gold and stone are toxic, Taoist people know this very well, but for the sake of becoming an elixir and for the sake of the Dao, it is impossible to be timid and have to choose to eliminate some violent poisons.
This is also the core of the Alchemy Method.
Chen Yu had never been deeply involved in this sect, and had only studied a few works of San Jia in Fangtai Pavilion, but could not enter the elegant hall.
But when I think about it, this kind of refining method can only be transcended by four words: separation and neutralization.
No matter how many alchemy methods there are, and no matter how complicated the rules are, they will probably tend to focus on these two aspects.
People in the Danding lineage like to refine pills, but they are not the kind of fools who seek death at every turn.
For a real elixir master, regardless of the potency of the elixir, the quality of the elixir must be good, and the side effects must be mild enough.
Zhonghe has the medicinal materials itself, so he doesn't need to worry about it. There may be some Taoist sects who have accumulated corresponding secret methods. If Chen Yu can't access it, he won't think too much about it.
As for precipitation... he has the extraction technique, and under the influence of his soul, he can even refine the medicinal materials to sufficient purity in advance before starting the furnace.
This is undoubtedly far superior to others.
Then the next step is to try the fusion sequence one by one. Chen Yu picked the alchemy furnace and placed it in the center of the courtyard.
After cleaning, I first tried to test the pharmacological effects of several medicinal materials. After some comparison and exploration, I finally found out the details of the medicinal materials on hand.
.
"Sheep's golden eye has some conflicts with stone marrow. It seems that they cannot be neutralized. Instead, they will affect the efficacy of other medicinal materials."
With mental power to protect him, Chen Yu's grasp of these materials is obviously not just relying on the naked eye, but has reached a higher level and is meticulous.
After thinking about it, he finally made a choice. He didn't really recognize the medicine Sheep's Golden Eye. It seemed to be a local specialty of this area and was of high value. However, if he couldn't match it, he would have to give up.
The spiritual text suddenly appeared, and the extraction technique was running in his hands. The remaining parts of the remaining medicinal materials were gradually decomposed, and the required parts were extracted according to his mind and consciousness.
Soon, a dozen or so medicine powders were completed.
In addition to gold and stone, there were also many powders refined from medicinal plants in front of him, such as Scrophulariaceae, Fritillaria, Lu Ginseng, Angelica Sinensis, etc., as well as a few old wild ginseng roots that he accidentally encountered in the deep mountains and old forests. At this moment, they all turned into powder.
, lying quietly on the stone table waiting for the pot to be served.
Turn on the stove! Make a fire!
The next moment, dozens of spiritual texts flew out one after another, and under the control of mana, they formed combinations one after another, and instantly turned into seven or eight formed green flame techniques.
The fire flickered, flickering on and off for a moment, and then strings of rich blue flames burned blazingly under the cauldron.
The temperature was very high, and he kept focusing on the bottom of the copper cauldron. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the alchemy cauldron was not burned through.
Refining alchemy is a technical job, but for Chen Yu, since he has developed mental strength, he can be worth dozens of people regardless of the fine level or operations such as elixir frying.
Alchemy can be said to be very fast.
Normally, it takes a lot of time to refine elixirs, especially to lock in the potency and neutralize the toxicity. The control here is beyond the capabilities of an ordinary alchemist, but Chen Yu doesn't have this trouble, Qing.
The flames were so bright that the alchemy furnace kept humming.
In the middle of the process, he divided his mind into two things, and after leaving his body, he assisted the main body in controlling the mana in detail.
He even put a few drops of spiritual liquid in it - he originally wanted to cut out the spirit stone and put it into the elixir furnace, but no spiritual stone had been refined by fire before, so in order to avoid adding unnecessary unnecessary trouble and ruining a pot of elixir, Chen Yu gave up.
This thought.
Normally, a pot of elixir refined with the alchemy cauldron method may take several days without stopping, but it is different here in Chenyu. Many links are omitted, such as the preparation, chanting, and praying for spirits... At the same time,
, and some steps were simplified, such as the initial extraction of the medicinal essence, which he took a shortcut with the extraction technique.
In just one hour, the concoction in the cauldron began to slowly gather and condensed into irregular dumplings with pits on the surface.
Streams of blue light emerged from the body and flew into the cauldron.
He also has a way to form the elixir, he can directly use mana to complete it quickly.
Knead it into a round pill shape and reduce the firepower slightly. Only the last two steps of Qingyan Technique are still maintained, and the rest have dissipated.
After simmering for a while, the last few medicinal powders were added, and a burst of smoke seeped out from the gap in the cauldron cover. Chen Yu's nose twitched twice, but he did not feel the firewood smoke or the burnt smell. Only a slight fragrance spread on the tip of his nose.
“Looks like it’s in good condition.”
Chen Yu was still somewhat confident in the elixir he had made. When extracting it, he specially removed some harmful substances in the gold stone that could not be neutralized. Naturally, he was not afraid of the presence of toxins.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, the final effect cannot be known until you take it.
Clang!
Another half-quarter of an hour passed, and the Danding Neidan Pill was completely solid and dry, with no trace of infiltration. The powdered medicine that had been sprinkled before was also integrated into it, and the medicinal power was combined together.
So he opened the lid of the cauldron, picked and touched, and six finger-sized elixirs flew out. They were grey-brown in color, the elixir coat was smooth and smooth, and the pits when the elixirs were first formed were smoothed out.
There was a little bit of heat.
Chen Yu held it in his hand and felt that the newly baked one was indeed a bit hot. Fortunately, he had thick skin and thick flesh, so he was not afraid of the temperature.
After taking the pill, he did not stop. He once again raised a ladle of spiritual liquid, covered the cauldron, and continued to refine the cauldron in front of him.
The fire did not go out and lasted for a full quarter of an hour.
Through the mental power released in the cauldron, it can be seen that the medicinal residue seems to have undergone some new changes due to the combination of spiritual liquid and medicinal materials.
It is turning into pills the size of soybeans.
…
It was the eighth day of February and it was sunny.
Chen Yu was flying in the sky, appreciating the subtleties of the technique as a basis for future improvements, while swallowing the rays of light falling from a high place.
At your feet, the fields are full of chirping birds, the ancient and uninhabited trees are thick and lush, and the mountains and forests are extremely remote, dozens of miles away from Yunhe Temple.
"Winter is coming to an end, and spring is coming."
People's thoughts are gradually becoming more complicated, and many villages near Qingtai Mountain have organized villagers to open up acres of fields and dig ditches and waterways in preparation for farming after the beginning of spring.
Chen Yu put some thought into the extra 10% of aura and chose a location that was not too far or too close.
It's not necessary if it's too far away. It also takes time to fly back and forth with the technique of riding the wind and turning into a rainbow. If it's too close, it won't be effective enough.
After finishing the meal, he did not fall to the ground and directly used the magic to fly away in the direction of the Taoist temple.
At noon, a ray of skylight flickered on the top of a distant mountain. A moment later, Chen Yu drove the green light through the hole.
"I flew once in the morning, again at noon, once in the evening, and again before going to bed."
Four times a day. In fact, if he didn't bother to get up from the bed at night, he could still have a meal under the midnight moonlight and stars.
In this way, there are five times a day.
But five times of feasting cannot equal the amount of a short wick of a long-lasting lamp.
"If the long-lasting lamp could be a little more refined, I might be able to put down my time on dining and study other things."
The spiritual purity released by the wick is not pure enough. Taking too much in a short period of time will pollute yourself. Therefore, Chen Yu has always been reserved about this and has not taken it freely.
The same principle applies to the spirituality that spreads between heaven and earth, and its purity is even lower. He has never eaten it since discovering this.
Lunch was quite sumptuous, enough for a table. Most of them were experimental dishes.
There were many spiritual plants maturing in the medicinal field during this period, and he spent some time on them, hoping to make some medicinal plants that were not very palatable on weekdays more palatable through processing.
After tasting it, Chen Yu looked at the 'Dip Sauce Cold Lingshi' on the plate and silently stopped using his chopsticks.
The 'dried radish' from which clean spiritual energy has been absorbed can be eaten, but the taste is not very good.
“I’ll try unused ones next time. Maybe they will taste more tender and crispy.”
After a simple lunch, the food was not too hard to swallow, and he went down with his eyes closed and opened. Chen Yu used the water to wash the dishes and chopsticks, and then went to the pool beside the courtyard.
He dug around left and right, and then took out a round pill from his arms.
Auburn color, wrapped in red clothes that look like bloodstains.
Immediately, he threw it into the water as if he didn't feel any pain at all.
When the pills entered the water, the surface of the pool suddenly gurgled and turbulent, and some fine water droplets trembled and flew up, creating a small curtain of rain.
“The response was quite big.”
However, the commotion soon subsided, because an ink-colored tail shuttled under the water, sliding across the field of vision. After an instant, not even a trace of soup or medicine was left.
After waiting for a while, a ray of silver light penetrated into a corner of the water, and happened to find the Mo Lingyu curled up at the bottom of the pool to digest the medicine.
As the pills dissolved, the fish's scales became tighter and its lines became smoother. Although its expression remained dull, its size grew by a small circle in just a few moments under his gaze.
Seeing this, Chen Yu withdrew his mental power, took out another reddish-brown pill from his arms, and repeated the last action. Soon after, another uneaten Mo Lingji was attracted by the aroma of the pill and swallowed it in one gulp. .
He smiled. He thought it was just some medicinal residue, but the result was that the effect of the pill was not bad.
Qi and Blood Pill, Chen Yu calls this pill. As the name suggests, the purpose of Qi and Blood Pill is to boost qi and blood, activate meridians, and also has some effects on regulating muscles and bones and promoting the development of blood and flesh.
It is mixed with medicinal materials such as Scrophulariaceae, Angelica sinensis, and of course the most important thing is the spirit liquid. In addition, he also found the component of mountain crystal in the Qi and Blood Pill at the beginning, but after trying to eliminate it, it did not affect the potency of the medicine at all, so I think it might be possible to make it directly from the above mentioned medicinal plants in the future.
"We still need to explore. Once the ingredients are determined, the proportions and refining techniques still need to be adjusted."
Thinking like this, he returned to the Taoist temple and cast his eyes on the wooden box on the stone table.
There are five larger pills sealed inside.
Compared with the unexpected addition of Qi and Blood Pill, these are the highlights of this alchemy.
Chen Yu made a random move and a pill flew into his hand.
After rubbing it, the leather was very dry, and the elixir felt a bit like old tree bark, but this did not meet the requirements of both the Sandan method and the Alchemy Sect for a 'good elixir'.
If we go by the standards in the book, this is actually a 'low-grade pill' that will make other alchemists laugh in private if it is taken out.
"Remove toxins..."
After muttering for a while, he put the elixir away. Naturally, he knew the power of the elixir he had concocted. What's more, with Chen Yu's current physique, it would be difficult for ordinary medicinal stones to be cured even if they contain toxins.
"It neutralizes and precipitates the toxicity in the medicinal materials, making the medicinal power better integrated. It may not look pleasing to the eye, but the actual effect may be much better than ordinary high-grade elixirs."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course, this is for ordinary people. Chen Yu tasted one after refining it, and after careful experience, he found that it was of little use.
However, this is just an ordinary plant. If it is cultivated into a spiritual plant and then refined, it may be different.
"It's still ok, it can detoxify a lot of toxins."
Chen Yu studied for a while and felt that if he didn't need it, he could exchange it into money to buy what he needed. Whether it was medicinal materials or other things, gold, silver and other things were always indispensable when walking in the world.
The Seven Treasures Elixir for Poison Abuse was named after a prescription recorded in the elixir book.
…
A large lake in the mountains not far from Wangju Mountain.
Chen Yu came with a fishing rod. This time he threw some wheat grains to make a nest, and then waited quietly.
With the fishing rod in his hand, he was thinking about many things.
Within a moment, the float was shaking up and down.
Plop! There was a sound. He was still calculating the spiritual node in his mind. He raised his arm and pulled it without looking. The next moment, a fat fish four fingers wide jumped out of the water and hung in the sky.
While the fish was swallowing, a red-brown pill was clamped on the fishhook, and it seemed to be inserted into the fish's lips. The big fish struggled, instinctively wanting to escape, but it couldn't let go of the pill that was fed to its mouth.
, so fragrant!
Delicious food like never before!
The flesh and blood was boiling, driving the big fish, which didn't have much self-awareness to begin with, to swallow the pill. As for the bright fishhook in it, Quan pretended he didn't see it.
Finally, Chen Yu held the fish in one hand and the pole in the other, turning around and returning with a smile.
"I didn't expect that Qi and Blood Pills as bait would be so effective."
Looking back, where the pills were dropped on the lake, a large group of fish were gathering, rising and falling, with endless bubbles, and a large area of water nearby was muddy.
Qi and blood pills are very similar to spirit liquids, but they are much milder than the latter. Ordinary creatures can also take them. The power of the medicine can naturally change the body of the user for the better, both internally and externally.
But perhaps it was because his physical body had already been perfected. Chen Yu had tasted it, but his mouth was full of bitterness and was of no use at all.
