In the palace, there were many guards guarding the palace gates at various points. Only the servants in the inner palace were replaced, and outsiders were not allowed to enter even half a step.
Chen Yu was wearing a flowing light, his eyes were scanning, and several palaces appeared hazy in his mental perception. These were traces of spiritual distortion, which meant that there was an interior scene nearby.
The structure of the interior is like half a small world embedded in the shell of the real world, and unlike Qinglu Mountain, it sinks into the inner layer below, allowing the scattered natural spirituality of the current world to gather here under a great filter, and then continues to sink.
Between movement and stillness, there are surging spiritual waves, just like the surging water around a whirlpool. These spiritual fluctuations vary greatly depending on the size of the interior location and the stability of the structure therein.
Reflected outside, what falls into the surrounding perception is like a bright light, which can be seen turning on and off.
Chen Yu raised his body and jumped up, moving with the wind under his feet, he floated to more than ten feet away, passed three or five secret sentries, tossed and turned, arrived at a palace in front of more than ten imperial guards, pushed open the door and entered.
It was unlocked, and the movement when entering was eliminated by the Xuan soil void sense technique and disappeared into the wind. The two armored attendants in front of the palace ignored it at all.
The hall is filled with warmth, and there are wisps of bright red light coming from the jade wall behind the flower fan on the side. The hollow texture is beautiful, and the tassels on the top are exquisite, and there are beads of pearls and jade in various colors.
Onyx gems decorate the hall, and one side is softly paved, seemingly stitched together by hundreds of fine furs.
As soon as you enter, the aroma hits your nose.
Chen Yu looked intently and saw that the fire behind the warm jade was actually a huge copper cauldron, with strange beasts engraved on it, and the flames underneath were raging and licking the cauldron.
Seven or eight little boys were scattered around, with nervous expressions on their faces. The alchemists at the top did not slow down much, but looked equally solemn. From time to time they gave orders, and the boys and servants hurriedly followed the instructions to add soil and water.
The firelight was scorching, and it looked like a busy scene.
Chen Yu's eyes were filled with wonder. This was the first time he saw someone else making elixirs.
It turned out that this place was not the residence of the concubines in the harem, but it was actually a place specially built by Emperor Liang to refine elixirs and cook medicine after collecting elixir recipes and alchemists from all over the country.
"Your Majesty has an order! The material for the Jade Dew that transforms into the Wanjie Immortal is not easy to come by. You should study the elixir and refine it for Your Majesty as soon as possible. The rewards will be generous and you will be able to obtain financial and official positions."
To you all!"
The eunuch with a male duck voice was still conveying the order. In the morning, the Grand Duke of Yingtian Palace came to give some advice, asking him to keep an eye on the alchemists in Yuting Palace and urging them to complete it as soon as possible.
In the past few days, the emperor's temper has become worse and worse, and many palace officials have been killed because of trivial matters.
The chamberlain didn't want to drag him to the courtyard like a bereaved dog and stick him on the stone steps. So he came to the palace and urged the alchemists in front of him again.
The alchemists were also distressed. The folds of the elixir in their hands had obviously been turned over thousands of times before, but they couldn't see the slightest bit of the so-called elixir!
Several people were dressed in indigo feathered clothes, and their robes were blown by the wind in the faint smoke. They looked like immortals. Unfortunately, they were worried and looked at each other with uneasiness.
It is said that the elixir was taken from Zhengyang Temple, but it was not given by the latter personally - until now, the imperial edict of the imperial court is still placed in Zhengyang Temple, and the group of Taoist priests themselves are probably confused, and they don't know where.
A recipe that suddenly appeared.
But the emperor believed it!
Zhengyang Guan was panicked. It was one thing not to be able to produce it, but it was another thing to produce a fake one! If there were some problems with this elixir... In an instant, this centuries-old temple suddenly became panicked. It was no better than they had been before.
For his plan, he still relied on the name of the state religion and the friendship of the state teachers to make sidesteps and try to save a little bit.
Once the emperor took the problematic elixir, Zhengyang Guan would be involved no matter what!
will fall into a more critical situation than expected.
Such a sudden change made Master Zhengyang, a fifty-year-old Taoist, begin to think of a way out.
The inheritance cannot be extinguished.
Maybe we really have to take that risky move...
At the same time, there were also the alchemists in the palace with the same bitter expressions, as if they had swallowed yellow lotus. In the past, the powerful and royal relatives asked for health elixirs and multi-child elixirs. Of course, they were already quite involved with the Danding Dharma Sect.
If you can take it out, you have some ability, otherwise you won't be able to eat the imperial food.
Unfortunately, this time it was a serious disaster.
Not to mention that the Book of Alchemy didn't tell you how to refine the elixir. Even if it was recorded in the fragments dug out from a remote corner, they might not dare to refine it according to the truth.
The lead-mercury elixir method can easily produce highly toxic substances, and the alchemists present are all too familiar with this.
If they can't refine the elixir, they will be sent to Qijiasi Prison to suffer for two days at most. Then they will admit their mistake and admit that the elixir method is shallow, and they may be able to get out as soon as possible by spending some money.
But if they come up with a poisonous elixir and the people who test the medicine for the emperor try it out, they will probably not be able to escape the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Haven't tried it? Those people below will probably be so happy that they have the title of regicide on their heads.
This is a major crime of the Yi Jiu Clan!
When the alchemists entered the court, they only asked for a bowl of rice. If they really wanted to study elixirs carefully, they would either go to Zhenwu Lingdan Peak, or escape from the world and find a remote countryside to study on their own.
well--
I sighed secretly, I had to refine this elixir, but everyone knew that it would definitely not be able to produce a highly poisonous pill.
Another thing that surprised them was that the elixir in their hands did not seem to be toxic. If it were really made according to the ingredients above, it should have the effect of nourishing yin and yang, and harmonizing vitality.
What does this mean? The alchemists are not stupid, they just can't figure out why it is like this. The inexplicable extra picture is said to be the elixir recipe of the famous Huasheng Wanjie Xianmiaoyulu True Pill. Could it be that...
To use their hands to do disobedient things?
There was too little connection, and the undercurrent in the court seemed far or near to a few people, and they couldn't figure it out for a while.
On the other hand, the waiter looked pale and weak. After enduring the heat for a while, sweat dripped from his temples. After a few more instructions, he turned around and went outside the palace. After thinking about it, he decided to go to the Grand Eunuch to intercede first.
Living in a deep palace, it is not difficult to see that this is strange, but the winding doorways inside are not something that a little eunuch like him can handle.
Although I don't know who is scheming, I don't want anything else, I just want to save my life. For this reason, it doesn't matter if I reveal something about the other godfather and make a declaration of surrender.
"Life in the palace is getting harder and harder."
The waiter left quickly, worried.
…
Chen Yu, who had witnessed all this, had already walked past the big cauldron, and as he was thinking, he brushed the Chinese medicine liquid in the cauldron.
He frowned slightly, then looked slightly disappointed.
"Isn't this just a mouthful of medicinal soup? It looks fancy and all kinds of medicinal materials are put into it, but in fact it is just boiled with the help of heat..."
He had seen this in the alchemy book "Fengpu Sandan". It was a very common refining method, and it could even be said that it was done only by people who were new to alchemy.
At present, we have only reached the fourth step, which is called tossing the nectar.
There are many more steps after that, just neutralizing the toxins will take seven or eight steps.
This method is the most laborious, because it only happens when you are faced with the ratio of medicinal materials that you don’t understand at all. Most of the time it only occurs when Taoists who practice the Alchemy Cauldron method are thinking about new elixir recipes.
However, judging from the timing of the orders given by the few people, it seemed that they were somewhat knowledgeable and did not seem to be ignorant and unfamiliar.
Chen Yu looked around curiously, and went to the corner of the hall. There were a large number of wooden boxes piled in front of him. They were full of exquisite things, and there were a lot of items he had never seen before.
"This is... mica?"
"Well, it should be some kind of animal skin. This dry one looks a bit like a beetle."
"Centipede, toad..."
"Ivy, snow antler, ginseng..."
Chen Yu took one look at it and shook his head silently. No wonder he had to use clumsy methods to make elixirs. The medicinal materials in several boxes seemed to be non-toxic, but the ratio between them was a big problem.
These people couldn't believe the elixir prescription, so they were tinkering in the cauldron while there was still time, trying to make a pot of sweet, delicious, non-toxic and harmless elixirs as much as possible.
Transformed into Wanjie Xianmiao Yulu, he murmured, no matter how you look at this thing, it is fake and it is impossible to refine it.
Unless Chen Yu takes action himself, there may still be some chance with the spiritual herbs in his hands.
