"Don't be so nervous. Jirentang has done a good job with this medicine furnace." Nalan Luowei came to the conclusion after carefully looking at the medicine furnace.
"Luo Wei, please stop being so pretentious and explain to me quickly, otherwise I will always feel a little uneasy..."
This medicine furnace was related to the Luoxin Pill that suppressed his senior brother's heart attack. How could he not be nervous?
"Okay, I'm afraid of you." Nalan Luo knew that after waiting for a long time and finally sealing the magic pot that she had been waiting for, it was difficult to calm down at this time. So, she didn't say anything else and started
Explain it in detail to Miao Feng.
"What is the most stringent requirement for the medicine furnace in the process of refining medicinal pills? Do you know?"
"Be careful not to lose the efficacy of the medicine." This was not difficult, and Miao Feng quickly gave the answer.
"Well, to put it simply, it is to avoid air leakage. And given the conditions of this world, it is almost impossible to truly prevent air leakage when refining medicine. Therefore, we can only try our best to achieve it in a relative sense.
There is no air leakage. To prevent air leakage, we have to create a sealed environment. But the previous secret door was too large, and the door could not be closed tightly. So, in this case,
, the environment created is not airtight enough at all. In addition, the reason why there is a secret door that can be closed or opened under the furnace is almost the same. Thinking about your previous medicine furnace, the under the furnace was random.
If it is open, naturally there is no way to create a truly sealed environment." After Nalan Luowei finished speaking, he stopped and let Miao Feng digest it.
There are some words and principles used in it that Miao Feng may not be able to understand at once, but it doesn't matter. If Miao Feng has any questions, she will explain them to him until he completes his understanding.
"Then why is the bottom of the medicine stove made in such a weird shape?"
"We'll talk about this later. Do you understand what I just said?" Nalan Luo asked Miaofeng slightly seriously.
"Well, it's not difficult. It's just a matter of tightening every opening so that the air cannot flow in or out, right?" Miao Feng told Nalan Luo Wei Wei his opinion.
"Well, that's the truth. I didn't expect that your understanding is quite high." Nalan Luo nodded slightly with satisfaction.
"I said before that in order to prevent the medicinal materials from being burned in the medicine furnace, we must ensure that each medicinal material can be heated evenly on the bottom of the furnace. And before, I said that you can stir it to make it heat evenly. Do you remember
?"
"Um."
"To stir, you have to turn on the switch during the refining process so that the stirring spoon can stir the medicinal materials in the furnace. But in this way, there is no way to ensure that the entire refining process is in a relatively sealed state. In other words,
, this goes against our original intention. In order to avoid this situation, I thought of another way, which is to make the bowl for holding medicinal materials in the furnace as large as possible, and the circular heating area is within the same diameter.
In the figure, it is the largest. This ensures that all kinds of medicinal materials can be refined in the furnace at a uniform temperature without opening the furnace to stir the medicinal materials. As for the opening at the bottom of the furnace, in addition to what was just mentioned
The function of the environment that creates the sealing effect mentioned above has another purpose. I will explain this to you when the medicine is being refined. Now, is there anything you don’t understand?" Nalan Luo looked at Miao Miao slightly.
Feng, I saw Miaofeng thinking deeply while listening to Nalan Luowei's words.
Later, when Miao Feng raised his head, he said, "I think this method of using a round bowl to stir while heating is very good."
Miao Feng didn't say whether he understood or not, but just expressed his thoughts after thinking.
"Bingo! That's very well said!" At this time, Nalan Luowei admired Miao Feng's quick thinking and ability to draw inferences from one example when he was learning something.
"That's because you are the master who teaches me well." Miao Feng couldn't help but said with some embarrassment.
Nalan Luo was noncommittal, and then she said: "Hurry up and start refining the medicine."
"Before we start refining the elixir, there is one thing I have to tell you."
Miao Feng motioned to Nalan Luowei to continue.
"I remember you told me last time that when you were distributing medicine, you followed your world's rules for distributing medicine, "Jing before the soul, behind" to put the medicinal materials. When refining the elixir, the order of distributing the medicine was:
It is also a very critical step. Although this rule has been followed by the world for many years, it is impossible to verify whether it is correct or not. But this time, I hope that when we refine the elixir, I will be responsible for the order of dispensing the elixir."
From the structure of the medicine furnace, it is not difficult to imagine how backward the medicine refining technology in this world is, and the skills she is familiar with about refining traditional Chinese medicine into pills have brought together the wisdom of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. She
If you are confident, you can refine a successful potion of elixir for Miao Feng's senior brother.
"What? Luo Wei, you said you should be responsible for distributing the medicine? This..." Obviously, Nalan Luowei's request was very unexpected for Miao Feng.
"Well. If you fail, I will help you find all your medicinal materials." Nalan Luowei promised Miao Feng.
Miao Feng's expression was unclear, and he spoke with difficulty: "Let me think about it." How to do it? If you let Luo Wei come to prepare the medicine, it would be one thing if it failed and Luo Xin Pill could not be made. The key is that senior brother, if there is no
If something unexpected happened while Luo Xin Pill was protecting his heart, how would he face his master and Mu Fei?
"Well, think about it. I'll ask Lao Du to make us two cups of tea." Nalan Luowei knew that it seemed very difficult to get Miaofeng to agree to let her take charge of the process of dispensing the medicine. After all, she had
Most of them were theoretical basis, but never practical. So, she decided to give him time to think about it.
Shortly after Nalan Luowei left the pharmacy, another figure suddenly appeared in front of Miao Feng.
"Senior brother, why are you here?" Miao Feng looked at the visitor unexpectedly.
It turned out that at this time, it was Jun Yuyan who was standing in front of him. At this time, Jun Yuyan could not see any emotional fluctuations. He only said softly: "Promise Nalan Luowei to let her be responsible for the exercises."
The medicine for making Luo Xin Pills."
"No, senior brother, there is only the last portion of fire dragon grass left in the medicinal materials this time. I can't let you take this risk." Miao Feng looked at Jun Yuyan excitedly.
"Life and death are determined by fate. I have survived for so many years, and now I am content. Xiao Feng, you and I both understand that Luoxin Pills cannot completely cure my heart disease. Every time my heart disease attacks, it will become worse and worse."
It's serious. In the end, even Luo Xinwan may not be able to do anything." Jun Yuyan raised his hand and put it on Miao Feng's shoulder, telling the truth that both of them refused to face.
"No, senior brother, with Luoxin Pills, you can still hold on until later, and maybe you can find a time to completely cure your heart disease. But this time, if you fail, there will no longer be Luoxin Pills to extend your life.
, maybe, you might..." Miao Feng did not continue, but the meaning of his words was obvious.
"Xiao Feng, you are not me. You have never experienced the panic about the next heart attack that comes with the Luoxin Pill. That is a deep humility. For so many years, if it weren't for you and
Xiaofei, I have long been tired of this world. Now, there is Nalan Luowei... I believe that you understand me. Instead of keeping watch in humbleness until the despair of medicine and stone has no effect, it is better to
Now, in my best years, I have passed through with great vigor! Let Nalan Luowei help me dispense medicine, this is my hope!" In the empty pharmacy, Jun Yuyan's words were clearly reflected in Miaofeng's
It echoed in my heart.
There were footsteps outside the door. At this time, Lao Du looked at the door and said respectfully: "Sir, I have already made the tea." "Come in." There was an unmistakable emotion in Miao Feng's voice.
exhausted.
As the door opened, Nalan Luowei walked in followed by Lao Du carrying tea.
Lao Du put down the tea and retreated.
"What are you thinking about now?" Nalan Luo looked at Miaofeng slightly and asked him about his decision.
"How about what? Since you insist on dispensing medicine, what else can I say?" After all, I can't refuse my senior brother. Miao Feng smiled bitterly in his heart.
"Then let's get started. You first prepare the medicine."
Nalan Luo stood aside, watching Miao Feng carefully prepare the medicine.
"Of these two baskets, one holds the centenary-year-old lotus seed heart herbs, numbered one; while the other holds Xuewuguo and Tianshan snow lotus, numbered two." After Miao Feng prepared the medicine,
Nalan Luo turned on the stove and started a fire.
"First put the fire dragon grass in through the injection port."
After about a quarter of an hour, the medicinal fragrance of fire dragon grass filled the pharmacy.
"Then, throw in the medicinal materials from basket No. 1."
Although Miao Feng was surprised when he heard this order, he still followed Nalan Luowei's instructions and put the medicinal materials into the medicine furnace through the injection port.
"Then throw in the medicinal materials from basket No. 2."
Unexpectedly, the time interval was not long, so Miao Feng had to throw in the medicinal materials in a hurry.
"Throw the ice at the bottom of the pool into it."
"After the fire is removed, pour ten years of water from the sky first, and then water from the ground. Seal the injection port, okay, done!" Nalan Luowei did it himself to remove the fire just now.
"Now you should also understand why there is an opening at the bottom of the furnace. The burning of fire requires sufficient oxygen. Closing the opening at the bottom of the furnace can extinguish the fire in the shortest time."
At this time, Miao Feng recalled the entire process of refining the elixir, and couldn't help but become more and more frightened as he thought about it. After a while, his face turned pale. This was completely different from the note that the master left for him! Miao Feng could almost imagine that this furnace
The refining of the elixir will end up in such a tragic situation.
He looked at Nalan Luowei blankly and asked, "When will the medicine pill be released?"
"Three hours."
"Okay, let's see you again in three hours. Let's go out." Miao Feng walked out alone.
"I'll take you back first." Although he said so, Miaofeng didn't make any move. At this time, he was completely out of the situation.
Seeing Miao Feng's wandering state, Nalan Luowei couldn't help but force him to send her back, so she said goodbye to Miao Feng softly, turned around and walked in the direction of Yelin Palace.
He didn't notice when Nalan Luowei left, but Miao Feng walked back to the pharmacy blankly.
He walked helplessly to the chair and sat down like a zombie.
At this time, Jun Yuyan came out again.
"Isn't it going to take three hours to know the result? Why are you so desperate so quickly?" Jun Yuyan said to Miao Feng gently.
