Four hundred and fortieth chapters alchemy prescription
Under Shi Zhong's expectant eyes, Yichenzi left and came back, holding a brocade box in his hand. Looking at the dust on it, you could tell that no one had touched the brocade box for many years.
Yichenzi sat on the stone bench, carefully wiped off the dust, then took out a key and opened the rusty lock. Finally, the entire brocade box was opened, and several animal skins lay quietly inside.
The stone clocks are exquisitely made, but what attracts them is not their production level, but the dense fonts on them.
Yichenzi took out a few animal skins, three in total, and said with some nostalgia: "These are master's treasures. It's a pity that when he left Linxian, he still regretted that he had not found an alchemy successor. Today
, the old Taoist hand over the master's relics to you, junior brother, hoping that you will fulfill the master's last wish."
Shi Zhong said sternly: "Senior brother, don't worry, I will study alchemy with all my heart." After taking the prescription, Shi Zhong looked at it excitedly, but he was stunned for a moment. What kind of font is this? Three prescriptions in three fonts.
, we know the stone clock on the top layer, the traditional Chinese characters, and the seal script on the bottom? What about the bottom one? Ghost glyphs?
Looking at Yichenzi in confusion, Yichenzi smiled bitterly: "It should be inscriptions. The old Taoist has no research on these, but you can ask Dakong the bald donkey. He is obsessed with these and has quite a lot of research on them."
So, Shi Zhong went to find Zen Master Dakong. Zen Master Dakong was very interested in Shi Zhong's prescription. He took Sanzhang's prescription and studied it carefully. Yichenzi sat aside, not even caring that the Taoist prescription was used by someone.
The Buddhist held it in his hand and studied it. He touched the white beard on his chin with a smile on his face.
"World Honored One, the seal writing on this animal skin is indeed a bit messy. I need to sort it out before I can translate it for you." Da Kong said slowly.
"Don't be hasty, don't be hasty, it's best to figure it out before we talk!" Shi Zhong said. It's no joke if this prescription is wrong. It can obviously be used to refine a peerless magic elixir that can make people instantly become immortals. Unexpectedly, there is a missing ingredient, but suddenly
Become a demon.
Half an hour later, the two pieces of rice paper in front of Da Kong were densely filled with calligraphy. Da Kong put away the brush, blew on the rice paper and said, "It's done." He immediately looked at Yi Chenzi. "Yichenzi said,
Are you sure these prescriptions are perfect? The poor monk heard that the Taoist Master Kongxuan of Zhengdao exploded the furnace while refining the elixir due to the incorrect heat and prescription, and his head suddenly disappeared."
"Hmph, how can Kong Xuanzi be compared with my Sanqing Temple? These prescriptions were obtained by the poor Taoist ancestor who spent his whole life searching for them and obtained them through repeated tests. How can I allow you, an old bald ass, to slander you here? I want to find you.
Fight!" Yichenzi puffed his beard and stared, as if Da Kong was his sworn enemy. In this state, there is no trace of the demeanor of a monk, and the six impure roots are not there.
"Amitabha, good, good!" Da Kong smiled slightly, put his palms together and recited the Buddha's name.
"Huh, Infinite Heavenly Lord!" Yichenzi said this, but his eyes were still burning with fire.
Shi Zhong, however, was unaffected, holding three pieces of rice paper with prescriptions written on them and studying them carefully. They detailed the medicinal materials and steps needed to make alchemy, as well as things that should be paid attention to. For example, when refining the chalcedony muscle and bone pill, the main
The medicine asparagus and ice crystals are in conflict with each other. The ice crystals should be melted into the ground medicinal powder by furnace fire. The asparagus must be put into the elixir furnace last. This is the reason why the founder of Sanqing Guan failed hundreds of times.
Fortunately, although these medicinal materials were precious at that time, as long as you took the trouble, you could still find them in some famous mountains and rivers or deep mountains and old forests. But now, what is Asparagus Grass? What is Ice Spirit Crystal?
East?
If you violate this order. Haha, I'm sorry, then this furnace of elixirs will be useless, everything will be in vain, and no elixir can be refined at all. Even worse, if you happen to control the heat wrongly, the furnace may explode.
This is very serious. When making alchemy, some chemicals are added to the alchemy furnace to increase the temperature of the fire. If this gets on your body, there is basically no way to save it.
In fact, the most difficult thing about refining elixirs is the control of the heat. This heat is really important. From the beginning, the refining, fusion, and elixir-making of medicinal materials are considered to be only three steps, but these three steps are scattered and cumbersome.
Those who are studying accounting will have their heads blown, and beginners can't even pass the level of refining medicinal materials.
There is no secret to controlling the fire. Just like high school math problems, there are only problem-solving tactics. If you practice a lot, you can only understand the unspeakable secrets and become proficient in it.
Keeping all the medicinal materials required for the three elixirs in mind, Shi Zhong put away the rice paper and the three animal skin prescriptions, and said to Yichenzi: "Brother, it seems that the herbs mentioned above can no longer be found.
?”
Yichenzi smoothed his white beard and said with a smile: "If you say this to other monks, they will naturally nod with deep understanding, but in front of senior brothers."
Yichenzi's pretentiousness started to take effect again, Shi Zhong said: "Does senior brother have any good ideas? Or maybe he has stocks?" Thinking of this, Shi Zhong's eyes lit up, and he was afraid that all the required medicinal materials would become extinct.
, then there is no use holding the prescription myself, I can only stare.
Yichenzi said with a smile: "The founder had the foresight to leave behind a "Small Notes on Medicinal Materials", which was filled with the names and samples of medicinal materials. He once made a rule that descendants of Sanqing Taoist Temple must always remember the elixirs throughout their lives.
The importance of medicinal herbs mentioned in "A Note on Medicinal Materials" must be obtained as much as possible. After more than a thousand years, although each generation will open a furnace to refine one or two furnaces of elixirs, resulting in some losses, in general, they are still preserved.
It contains a lot of medicinal materials, just "
"Just what?" Shi Zhong said excitedly. These medicinal materials may only be used once for others, but he has life energy. So, as long as he takes a long-term view and plants all those medicinal materials, he will definitely have a bumper harvest by then.
There are endless medicinal materials.
"It's just that when the master was refining the chalcedony muscle and bone elixir, he used up a lot of inventory, and some were even unique copies. I guess there isn't much inventory now. This is why Pindao has never started refining the elixir!" Yichenzi sighed a little.
Dao, Master, it can be said that I have spent a lifetime of hard work to successfully build the foundation for my junior disciple.
Shi Zhong felt a little regretful and asked hurriedly: "How much inventory do you still have?"
Yichenzi smiled slightly and said to Dakong: "Old Bald Donkey, this matter involves our sect's secrets, you'd better avoid it."
Da Kong said: "World Honored One, that poor monk has resigned!"
After Da Kong left, Yichenzi said: "Junior brother, please follow me." After saying that, he walked through the fan-shaped door first, followed closely by Shi Zhong.
Yichenzi brought the stone bell to a Zen room, and then bowed to the statue of the Patriarch in the main hall. Then he took down the statue of the Patriarch and knocked three times on the wall, making a hollow sound. It turned out that the wall behind the statue of the Patriarch was actually
It is empty and has hidden compartments.
Sure enough, Yichenzi pressed a button, and a stone grid appeared on the wall, and then he held out a brocade box the size of his head. Shi Zhong looked at it for a moment, why do the Sanqingguan people like to use brocade boxes to store things?
Yichenzi placed the brocade box on the table like a treasure, and while unlocking it, he said: "Originally, our inventory was dozens of times that of this place, but the master used a lot to refine the elixirs, and only the remaining
That’s all, but the master was still wise at that time, and some of the precious medicinal materials were left behind and they were not extinct.”
With a "click", the brocade box was opened, and a dozen grids were revealed, each containing a medicinal material. After looking around, Shi Zhong suddenly discovered that he only recognized one of the dozen medicinal materials.
What is placed on the bottom grid must be ginseng, just a thin stem.
Seeing Shi Zhong's attention, Yichenzi smiled slightly, picked up the stem that was less than the thickness of his little finger, and said: "This is the stem from the thousand-year-old ginseng. Unfortunately, it has been used for hundreds of years."
Thousand-year-old ginseng?
The stone clock is a bit astonishing. If it were placed now, it would definitely be worth tens of millions, and it is still priceless. If it were auctioned, those billionaires would definitely be willing to pay hundreds of millions to buy this kind of treasure. This is definitely
Spiritual things that prolong life.
"What about these?" Shi Zhong pointed to several other medicinal materials. They were shriveled, and some were no more than a dead leaf.
"These medicinal materials are probably hard to find in the world now. The one that looks like a thorn root is a yellow thorn. As for its use, well, just look at the prescription. I remember that the refining of the Chalcedony Muscle Pill requires yellow thorn.
Now that the thorn is ready, I will hand over all these inventories to you today. I hope you will work hard and make some achievements in alchemy!" Yichenzi said with a smile.
"When you say that, how can I still think about refining elixirs? You said that all the precious medicinal materials in the world are extinct, how can I refine elixirs? Even if I take all these, I can't refine a single elixir!" Shi
Zhong Wugnai smiled bitterly.
But Yichenzi said: "Do you think that all these medicinal materials need to be put in when you are refining the elixir? I would like to ask you what kind of elixir you want to refine? Ordinary elixirs have one of them.
With two flavors, the grade is enough to upgrade it to a higher level. The age of these medicinal materials is definitely beyond your imagination."
"Are there asparagus grass and ice spirit crystals there?" Shi Zhong asked, remembering that the prescription for the Chalcedony Muscle Pill stated that these two ingredients were the main ingredients.
"No!"
"Then you said that Master used the medicinal materials in it when he refined the Chalcedony Muscle Pill. How come he didn't even have such precious medicinal materials as the main ingredient?" Shi Zhong said.
"You are stupid, you have used it up. And who said that the main ingredient of the prescription must be the most precious one? It can only be said to be the most important, not the most precious. If there is only one ginseng in the world, then
, among the prescriptions for the Chalcedony Musculoskeletal Pill, ginseng is the most precious." Yichenzi said.
"Then where can I find Dragon Beard Grass and Ice Spirit Crystal?"
"How do I know?" Yichenzi asked.
""
Yichenzi saw that Shi Zhong's face was a bit ugly, and thought for a while and said: "But don't worry, I will give you the "Medical Notes" later. You go look for it yourself. The world is so big, there will always be some
Two plants, don’t worry, senior brother won’t trick you.”
Black lines appeared on Shi Zhong's forehead. To be continued...
