Thinking of this, Xu Hong no longer had the fear he had just now. On the contrary, he became more confident. He smiled softly and asked, "I wonder what Master Yang, what do you want to know?"
Yang Mo said: "[Qi-Building Spiritual Liquid] requires a total of 27 kinds of medicinal materials to be combined to form a perfect closed loop. This is a prescription that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Later, although some people tried to change it, they all ended in failure. Why... Dan Master Xu
After adding four kinds of medicinal materials, not only was it not disrupted, but the efficacy of the medicine was even higher?"
After returning home yesterday, he also tried to refine it, but all ended in failure. After thinking about it all day and night, he still couldn't figure out what was going on.
He came over to ask like this. Although he would put himself very low, he sincerely wanted to know.
"this……"
Xu Hong frowned.
It turned out that the question was so profound... I didn’t know how to start the conversation even if I wanted to fool him.
His refining method is to let Xu Ying drink the soup continuously, and then judge based on the increase or decrease in lifespan whether to add this medicine, how much to add, and how long to cook it... Who knows why the medicinal properties are so high?
However, this answer is obviously not possible...
So, since you can’t answer, then don’t answer!
He shook his head and looked over, "Master Yang is refining medicinal liquid for Yiqi Pavilion. We are in a competitive relationship. If I tell you this, won't I create trouble for myself?"
Yang Mo said hurriedly: "I have left Yiqi Pavilion and will no longer make medicinal liquids for him. I came here this time to sincerely ask for advice!"
Xu Hong's face trembled, he seemed to have no excuse...
It's not enough without an explanation. Not only would the other party be suspicious, but Wei Ziyang, who was not far away, might feel that the so-called expert he said was fake.
However, he couldn't help it. He smiled slightly and said: "Actually, it's nothing. Each medicinal material has its own characteristics. As long as you grasp the degree, it is not difficult to change the prescription... Well, I want to hear it first.
What do you think, how do you understand the addition of these four additional medicinal plants?"
After thinking for a while, Yang Mo said: "The four medicinal materials, Green Leaf Grass, Smoke Cloud Flower, Iron Pear Root and Agarwood, have different properties. If they are refined together, it is easy for them to conflict with each other. Yesterday I tried to fuse them.
Together, they discovered that a toxin was born that can make people dizzy and make their lips swollen. If it is mixed into the Qi-tonifying liquid, it will not only fail to improve the medicinal properties, but will also cause side effects..."
The more he talked, the more confused he became. He looked at the man in black in front of him, hoping to get his opinion. However, he saw that the other man did not admit or deny, but looked over calmly, "Think about it again, is there something I didn't expect?"
"this……"
Recalling it again in his mind, Yang Mo continued after pondering for a moment: "Green-leaf grass, whose attribute is wood, smoke and cloud flower, whose attribute is fire, iron pear root, which belongs to metal, agarwood, buried deep underground, is considered an earth-attribute medicinal material...
"Fire overcomes metal, metal overcomes wood, and wood overcomes earth. These four medicines have conflicting properties. No matter how you calculate them, they are difficult to suppress and cannot be integrated..."
Looking at the man in black again, he saw a smile on his face and encouragement in his eyes, "Very good, we are close, just a little bit close!"
With a shock in his heart, Yang Mo immediately became energetic and continued: "Among the other 27 medicinal materials, there seem to be water-based medicines. Does Master Xu mean to increase the dosage of these medicinal materials so that they can neutralize each other?
"its not right……
"In this case, it will destroy the previous stability, causing the balance of the entire prescription to collapse..."
Muttering to himself, Yang Mo frowned more and more as he spoke.
She quietly looked at the man in black robe again, and saw that his eyes were deep, neither happy nor sad.
Could it be...that the analysis was wrong?
It must be, otherwise, the other party would not have this expression... This Master Xu is really unfathomable!
Sighing in his heart, Yang Mo braced himself up and thought seriously, while Xu Hong, who was opposite him, had empty eyes and was a little confused, "What do you mean, metal overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word..."
"
Can you make it simpler?
It’s just a medicinal solution, just put it in a pot and cook it casually. It also involves the five elements that are mutually reinforcing and interfering with each other... It’s a long time to live!
However, it doesn’t matter whether you understand or not, you can’t let the other person see it, you still have to keep your smile...
hey-hey!
"Huh? He smiled? Could it be that... what I said is in the right direction?"
The confusion in Yang Mo's heart disappeared, "If the balance of other medicinal powers is not destroyed, these four medicines are just like adding ordinary liquids. It is impossible to double the efficacy of the medicinal liquid. It seems that the problem is not with these four medicinal plants, but with
It’s the problem with the entire prescription… There must be something else, I didn’t realize…”
Having said this, he looked at the other party again.
Seeing his sincere eyes, the man in black robe nodded slowly.
"It seems that it is indeed right to think in this direction..."
Heaving a sigh of relief, Yang Mo continued his analysis: "In this prescription, [Kenmu grass] is the main ingredient. It has the effect of replenishing Qi and increasing breath. Some low-level elixirs also usually use this thing. However, this medicine is overbearing."
It’s so incomparable that it needs shepherd’s flower to neutralize it…”
Soon, Alchemist Yang talked about the medicinal properties of more than a dozen medicinal herbs and how to mix them... As he talked more and more, his eyes lit up as if he had thought of something, and he hurriedly bowed and clasped his fists, "Alchemist Xu, I take the liberty of speaking.
I’ll try refining it once in front of you. If something goes wrong, I hope I can give you some pointers..."
Xu Hong nodded and said: "Of course! Practice is the only criterion for testing truth..."
"yes!"
Yang Mo secretly sighed that the realm of an expert was different. Then, he took a few steps to the middle of the hall, touched it with his palm, and a huge alchemy furnace appeared in front of everyone.
This furnace cauldron is two full circles larger than Xu Hong's, and is as tall as a person. Its surface is carved with countless weird golden patterns, one after another, which are somewhat similar to the annual rings of a tree, exuding a special aura.
, just one look at it makes people feel a little dizzy.
"It seems that alchemy furnaces are also divided into levels..."
Xu Hong nodded secretly.
No wonder Wei Ziyang said before that the one he bought was the lowest grade. When he saw the other person's, he realized that the gap was really huge and they were not of the same grade at all.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at Pavilion Master Wei, and saw that he seemed to have seen something terrible. His face was pale and his body was shaking...
Just as he was about to ask, a faint voice sounded.
"I started..."
With a slight smile, the power in Master Yang's body surged. He faced the furnace cauldron with his palm and pressed it straight down.
boom!
Feeling the power in his body, the formations on the surface of the furnace suddenly began to twist, like a group of wandering tadpoles. In an instant, a hot flame was born out of thin air below, and the air waves rolled and covered the air.
It's a little distorted when burned.
"this……"
Blinking his eyes, Xu Hong couldn't help but be stunned.
Is it true that a good alchemy furnace does not need to add firewood or coal?
What is burning?
Strange fire in past life novels?
"It's true essence!"
Soon, Xu Hong understood.
The flames in front of me were generated by Alchemist Yang's true energy in conjunction with the array patterns. They did not burn independently. They should have nothing to do with the so-called strange fire...
The flame was extremely hot, with a temperature far exceeding that of charcoal fire. In just over ten breaths, the furnace cauldron let out a long roar and turned red.
With his eyebrows raised, Master Yang grabbed the medicinal herbs in the air and immediately flew forward in order. As soon as they came into contact with the red cauldron wall, they were refined into pure liquid in the blink of an eye.
The medicinal fragrance spreads and fills the whole house.
Xu Hong was shocked.
I originally thought that the so-called refining medicine was just putting medicinal materials in a pot and boiling them. After a long time of fussing, that was not the case at all... The other party's method was obviously more pleasing to the eye and more aesthetic.
As medicinal herbs were thrown in one after another, the melted liquid slowly gathered in the middle of the cauldron, and soon formed a mass of milky white medicinal drops.
The formations flickered, the temperature of the flame continued to increase, and the medicine droplets began to boil. The medicinal properties, which were originally like oil and water, slowly fused together under the scorching heat.
After an unknown amount of time, the alchemy furnace shook violently, and the liquid droplets flew out, falling neatly into a jade bottle next to it, which was just full.
Replenishing liquid!
After the refining was successful, Yang Mo was not excited at all. Instead, he took out a drop and placed it in his palm. Then he shook his head with a wry smile.
I had a feeling in my heart and thought I had found the real refining method, but the result... was the same as last night, it failed again!
This bottle of liquid medicine still contains the toxicity that makes lips swell and has not been eliminated...
Returning to Xu Hong, there was a look of anticipation in his eyes, "Master Xu, you just watched my process of refining the medicine. Where did I go wrong? Can you give me some pointers?"
"this……"
Xu Hong was silent.
I don’t understand!
The order in which the other party put the medicinal ingredients was completely different from his. Since no one had tried the medicine, they had no idea about the refining process. Is there any problem? How can I give you some advice?
Seeing the other party's bright eyes, he knew that he couldn't be fooled like before. After pondering for a moment, he had to express his true feelings, "Since it is refining medicinal liquid, why not add water?"
"???"
Yang Mo was stunned.
Refining medicine means extracting the medicinal properties from medicinal materials and then blending them with each other, right?
Add water...what the hell?
Seeing his expression, Xu Hong's eyelids couldn't help but twitch... It looked like he was wrong!
Is this about to reveal something?
Just when he was thinking about what to do after his identity was exposed, he saw Master Yang who was stunned. As if he had figured something out, his eyes became brighter and brighter. He patted his thigh and said, "Yes! Green leaf grass, belongs to wood, smoke and cloud flower,
It belongs to fire, iron pear root, metal, agarwood, and earth... There is a lack of water in the five elements. Once water is added, these four medicinal materials will change from being in conflict with each other to mutually reinforcing... and the toxicity will naturally be neutralized.
…”
The problem that he had been holding back all day and night was solved in an instant. Yang Mo clasped his fists in excitement, "Thank you so much for the advice, Master Xu. I wonder if I can try another pot?"
"certainly!"
Xu Hong nodded, looking confused again.
You just said it casually and you understood it?
After getting the consent, Yang Mo didn't waste any time, went to the middle of the hall again, lit the fire, heated the cauldron, and tempered it, all in one go.
The action is exactly the same as before, that is, before the liquid medicine is fused, the same volume of water is put in.
As soon as the water and the droplets quenched from the medicinal materials come into contact, they immediately boil, turning the slightly dark solution into a milky white color.
call!
Put it in a jade bottle.
After taking out a drop and testing it again, Yang Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
Success...
The medicinal liquid at this time is no longer toxic, but is the same as the one refined by Master Xu, which can increase people's strength!
"A drop of water solved something that I had been thinking about for a whole day but couldn't figure it out... How advanced is this Master Xu's understanding of elixirs?"
Yang Mo was full of admiration.
"but……"
"The medicinal liquid is no longer poisonous, but its effect is not much different from ordinary [Qi-Building Spiritual Liquid]..."
After adding water, the refining was successful, but the efficacy is not much different from the previous medicinal solution. In this case... What are you wasting four medicinal herbs for?
With a confused look on his face, he looked over again with sincerity in his eyes, "Alchemist Xu, I understand what you mean, but... the refining is still somewhat unsuccessful. I wonder... if you can refining it yourself so that I can observe and learn.
?”
"this……"
Before Xu Hong watched the other party refining the medicine, he probably didn't think anything of it. After watching it, he realized that he was not refining the medicine, but cooking it...
Totally unattractive!
If you don’t practice, you can still remain mysterious, but if you really do it, the secret will definitely be revealed...
He waved his hand and was about to refuse when he saw Yang Mo flip his wrist and a wooden box appeared in his palm. He opened it gently and a pill that rolled away appeared in front of everyone.
From a long distance, I can smell the strong aroma of medicine coming towards my face, making my index fingers move and my muscles beat continuously.
This is not a medicinal solution, but a real elixir!
"This [Hua Gang Pill] is not precious, but it is much rarer than the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Liquid. It can help to reach the peak of the physical realm and increase the chance of breakthrough by 30%..."
Yang Mo looked sincere and said: "I know this thing is nothing to Master Xu, but as long as you are willing to demonstrate it once, this medicine will be treated as a reward... If you don't use it yourself, it is a good choice to give it to the younger generation.
!”
"Well……"
Xu Hong fell silent.
This elixir is of little use to him, but if his father takes it, he can break through in one fell swoop and become a master in Chenggang Realm!
In this way, the Xu family can truly be regarded as the behemoth of Jiyuan City, and no one dares to offend them anymore.
Clench your fists.
It would be a lie not to be tempted by such a precious thing!
But if the disguise is seen through, it will be a big loss... We must find a way to get the best of both worlds.
"Forget it, since you want to learn, it's okay to refine it for you!"
Soon, he had an idea in his mind. Xu Hong stood up from the chair, with a deep look in his eyes that was difficult to see through, and smiled slightly, "But... this kind of low-level medicinal liquid, the furnace cauldron does not need to be used properly, Pavilion Master Wei."
, please find an old alchemy furnace over... Forget it, I happen to have one here, so let’s use the simplest method to refine one!"
After saying that, he flipped his wrist, and a shoehorn-shaped furnace cauldron appeared in front of everyone.
There are no special formations on it, nor are there any amazing flames. There is only a dark area below. You can tell at a glance that it was smoked by charcoal fire...
Yang Mo was stunned.
As an alchemist, I can naturally recognize that this is the lowest-grade cauldron, the kind that can be bought casually on the market... The most important thing is that it is deflated by a large piece and feels inferior...
Can this thing really make medicine?
While he was wondering, the man in black robe had already asked Pavilion Master Wei to fetch charcoal fire, pour in water, and throw in the medicinal herbs one by one in order.
After a short time, the furnace began to boil, and a portion of the refined medicinal solution was poured out.
Taking out a drop and placing it in the palm of his hand, Yang Mo felt it and his pupils suddenly contracted.
It’s exactly the same as what’s sold outside, but twice as effective as what he refined!
"Using the lowest furnace cauldron and the lowest charcoal fire, you can turn decay into magic and refine even more advanced medicinal liquids. This Master Xu..."
