Baiyun San is one of several prescriptions included in Yunhe Temple. According to memory, it has a good bonus effect on the practice of Yunhe Gong.
The main ingredient is orange and silver fruit, supplemented by a total of seven kinds of herbs including Tongshenggen, Huangbaiye and Agapanthus.
In the courtyard, Chen Yu held two gray bronze tripods the size of human heads, one on the left and one on the right in front of him.
clang!
The stones trembled and were crushed to death by the three legs under the cauldron.
He moved the head of the cauldron and looked inside. It was too dark to be seen clearly, so he found some hay, mixed some well water into it, washed it and rubbed it. The clattering collision revealed puddles of black coal-like stains.
God knows how long it has been since these two copper cauldrons were boiled. There is a thick layer of medicinal slag deposited inside, adhering to the surrounding areas at the bottom. It takes force to pull it off.
It took a lot of time to clean the two tripods and place them naked in front of the stone ridge. After wiping them, the remaining water marks slowly evaporated away in the morning sun.
On the side, Chen Yu was not idle. He picked up the stone pestle and started pounding the medicine. He put the required medicinal materials into the stone pestle according to the recipe ratio in his memory.
Nowadays, he has a lot of strength, and he even tried to use his internal energy, but unfortunately he has not yet reached the mellow state where his strength is consistent, let alone releasing it outside the body.
The stone pestle rested unmoved in my hand, wasting all my strength.
Chen Yu gave up after trying it twice and continued to mix the medicine in the normal way. Maybe he can try it again when he reaches a higher level in the future, but he obviously doesn't have the ability now.
According to rumors, unleashing one's strength is a method that only martial arts masters can possess. Everyone in the martial arts world is a hero - the kind who are famous all over the world.
Martial artists from all walks of life admire these martial arts masters and call them the best!
The next step up is the Grandmaster level, which is difficult to achieve in dozens or even hundreds of years.
Even the majestic figures like the first-generation Guanzhu, who subdued tigers and slayed pythons, were far from this level.
As for Chen Yu now, it's even worse.
Boom, boom, boom!
The medicine pestle fell and crushed the medicinal materials one by one.
Pounding medicine is a delicate job, and it is not as simple as it seems. It only requires a handful of reckless strength. You need to know the right amount of force to put it down every time, because some medicinal materials need to be larger, and some must be turned into powder.
And after pounding each kind, you have to change the stone to avoid conflicting properties of the medicine. When dispensing the medicine, a small amount of water will be added, and all the medicinal materials will be mixed in pairs, and the toxicity will be precipitated, and naturally there will be no more problems.
Medicine powder, especially medicine powder for martial arts, has only two words to describe its effect, one is separation and the other is neutralization.
What is released is toxic and has medicinal properties. As for what is neutralized, it is more toxic or has properties that are not useful to the body.
If several kinds of medicines are mixed together without the correct prescription or without distinguishing, the mixture may not be a bitter medicine, but a poisonous substance that can kill people.
From this we can also see how precious some of the prescriptions of precious medicines are.
For example, it is said that the Dragon and Tiger Pill of Zhenwu Mountain was secretly refined in a cave with the earth's fire, and was not allowed to be viewed by outsiders at all.
The thing to guard against is being stolen.
It's just that Chen Yu has always had a critical attitude towards the so-called heavenly elixir that is so miserable.
After all, the Danding Dharma Sect has done too many evil things, and I have heard many negative examples in my previous life.
Too many to mention.
Not only him, but with the exception of a group of rich and powerful people who are short-lived and those who want to live forever, the vast majority of Taoist disciples remain sober and will not get involved deeply.
Even Zhenwushan itself only opens the Longhu Dan once every few years, and according to them, the formula of this elixir is mostly herbs, and lead and mercury are only auxiliary drugs, with only two or three flavors, and will not harm the body.
It can be seen how careful you are on the Danding Road.
These are just random thoughts and have nothing to do with the medicinal powder he prepared this time.
This is made from pure medicinal materials, which is equivalent to the traditional Chinese medicine from the previous life. Let’s not talk about the effects. At least the toxic and side effects are not too many in the past cases.
According to memory, it was nothing more than excessive qi deficiency, blood oozing from the nose, or sweating under the armpits, and the skin was cut off at the feet.
These are all small problems.
With Chen Yu's current physique, although these side effects cannot be ignored, there is no need to worry too much.
Boom!
After mashing the last medicinal ingredient, he took the yellow paper he had prepared in advance and poured the medicinal powder in front of him onto it.
Put it together with the other grinded ones.
Then the shabu-shabu...shabu-shabu cauldron is turned on.
The kitchen was not well ventilated. In order to avoid being suffocated by the smoke and fire, Chen Yu simply started the preparation this time in the open space in the courtyard.
The smoke dispersed and the flames ignited.
Some water vapor gradually rose from the cauldron.
Put your hand in and hold it against the bottom - this world's medicinal cauldron is a little different from ordinary food cauldrons. The latter is used to cook soup, so the bottom is very thin and the temperature rises quickly.
Since the medicine cauldron has to refine the medicinal properties, it has two layers at the bottom, with a gap in the middle. Therefore, the temperature rises slowly at this moment, and there is no burning of the hands.
good.
Guessing the temperature, Chen Yu put in the first portion of medicinal powder.
Place it in the cauldron, spread it out, and grind it into a thin layer with a stone pestle.
Crackling!
The tongues of fire licked more and more fiercely, and the temperature in the cauldron also rose to a certain level.
So he put in another medicinal material, but it was not in powder form, but was broken into particles the size of soybeans.
Close the lid of the cauldron and light the fire.
This was his first time making medicine, but his predecessor had helped the old Taoist priest open the furnace several times. The medicines of those brothers and sisters were all boiled by his predecessor, so he was naturally proficient.
Soon, a slight cracking sound came from inside the cauldron.
"It's time to plant orange and silver fruits."
It's funny, it's obviously refining medicine, but he makes it look like cooking.
flood!
As soon as the fruits were planted, a fierce fire was set up, and the flames exploded under the cauldron, baking so that the entire copper cauldron was filled with a faint blush.
One after another, I was tight on time and almost made mistakes several times during the process. Fortunately, the problem was not serious and I put them down in time.
Before the last batch of medicinal materials was put into the cauldron, Chen Yu opened the lid of the cauldron and poured half a ladle of well water down.
Gulu gulu.
There was a sound in the cauldron and it soon boiled.
Then he waited until the sound gradually became quieter, then began to quench the fire, pulling out the firewood between the three legs and extinguishing it.
After waiting for another two quarters of an hour, the bronze tripod cooled down naturally.
With some curiosity, Chen Yu stepped forward and opened it. Immediately, he only felt a pungent medicinal aroma. This aroma was so rich that it made people want to vomit.
Coughing, waving his hands to disperse, he hurriedly fastened the lid of the cauldron again, took a few deep breaths, and then calmed down.
However, it was the aroma of the medicine that let him know that his refining the medicine this time had not failed. The yellow pot left in the cauldron, which looked like egg fried rice, was the Baiyun Powder he wanted.
But Chen Yu didn't stop, and turned around and started the second furnace.
Start a fire and charge.
At the end when it was time to add water, there were some changes this time.
He poured some spiritual liquid on it.
Thanks to the book friend for pointing out that in the purchasing section of Chapter 13, there are some issues regarding the currency exchange rate. The author of simple elementary school mathematics got it wrong -_-||
After the change: one tael of silver = 10 taels of broken silver = 100 centimeters of fine silver = 2,000 coppers. One tael of gold can be exchanged for up to 20 taels of silver. Hence the phrase "One hundred taels of gold, at most two thousand taels of silver."
It’s different from the real world,
This price exchange will be used in the future, so... thank you, thank you again, this kind of low-level mistake is absolutely intolerable (ω`)
I reflect and review.
In addition, the changes involving currency are as follows:
1. The price of meat buns is increased during peacetime, 2 and 4 articles
2. The price of large meat buns stuffed with pork has been increased, 1 article and 2 articles
