() When I came to the drugstore, it was still deserted. Except for the NPCs from the novice village who came to buy medicine, there were basically no players. Think about the bottles of expensive potions. Who is willing to spend this money? The accumulation of money in the early stage is very
It's important, and it helps with the outbreak in the later stage. Therefore, players would rather die than spend money on medicine. Yes, if I were asked to buy it, I would definitely not spend the money!
When I walked into the drugstore, the drugstore owner was very happy and grateful to see me, and said: "Young hero is here! What's the matter? Are you here to buy medicine? Or did you tell me yesterday that you want to learn the art of refining medicine with me?
?”
I greeted him with a smile, nodded, and said without being verbose: "Yes, I came here to learn the art of refining medicine from you!"
When the drugstore owner heard this, he smiled even more. He was very happy and a little relieved. I was at a loss to see it. Later I found out that because his child was so unsatisfactory, he only learned one-tenth of the skills of the drugstore owner.
, it's still possible to make some healing potions, but you can't learn more advanced alchemy! The pharmacy owner has always been worried that his unique secret medicine will be lost, but these days, there are very few people who are determined to learn alchemy.
What's more, the drugstore owner doesn't want to give his unique skills to outsiders! But I am different. I can be regarded as their benefactor, and I can't be considered an outsider. Yesterday, I was very happy to see me taking the initiative to ask about this matter. Today, I met
I took the initiative to come and study, and I was even more happy!
"Then let's start!" the pharmacy owner said, "Follow me!"
After that, he led me, opened the curtain, and walked inside, and I followed him. When he opened the curtain, there was a different scene. This was a big courtyard, with large and small shelves in the courtyard, layer by layer.
, various herbs are drying on it, and there is a small herb garden in the upper left corner of the yard. The entire yard is well designed, full of space, but not crowded. There is a lot of space for walking.
The drugstore owner led me to the herb garden, pointed at the herbs on the ground, and said: "The so-called alchemy technique, refining medicine, refining medicine, is refining herbs."
"Alchemy. In the final analysis, it only requires a few steps..."
Recognize medicines! In short, know herbal medicines. This requires pharmacists to recognize the most basic medicines from the beginning, know the functions, properties, and where they can be collected. Later, they will continue to improve and understand
For more herbs, learn more about what herbs do.
Collecting herbs! Herbs are the basis for refining medicines. There is no need to go into details about collecting herbs.
Preparing medicines! Understand the functions and habits of herbs, and mix different herbs to achieve complementary benefits.
Refining the medicine! After mixing the herbs, put them in the medicine cauldron and light a fire to refine the medicine. This is the most critical step and the key to success.
Prescriptions! Each prescription corresponds to a medicine. How to prepare the medicine and what kind of medicine will be produced after the medicine is successfully refined are all recorded and passed down to future generations!
The pharmacy owner said: "Let's start with the simplest way of identifying medicines! You wait first!"
After saying this, the drugstore owner walked into a room next to the courtyard and came out after a while. When he came out, he had a book in his hand.
I looked at the title of the book - Medicinal Herbs.
.........
The drugstore owner handed it to me and said: "This herbal book is the hard work of countless alchemists in our Kingdom of Dragon. A hundred years ago, the Alchemist Guild integrated all the alchemists in the Kingdom of Dragon and jointly compiled it.
, the number of medicinal herbs recorded in it is very large, including almost all the medicinal herbs in the Kingdom of Dragon, and also records some special medicinal herbs from other countries. Because the records are too large, there were originally nine large volumes and forty-nine small volumes.
After that, the king ordered countless copies to be printed and distributed to every alchemist. According to the junior alchemist, intermediate alchemist, senior alchemist, and master alchemist, the corresponding distribution is suitable for alchemists of different levels.
This number, because I am an intermediate alchemist, I only got one large volume and eleven small volumes of the Herbal Medicine Book. What you are reading now is one of the small volumes. Come, let’s talk while reading.”
After saying that, he handed the book of medicinal herbs into my hands. I took the small book, which was ten centimeters thick, and opened the first chapter, the catalog. There were only nineteen kinds of herbs recorded in the catalog, but it took a long time.
With such thick pages, I am speechless.
What the pharmacy owner wants to talk about is very obvious, which is the nineteen kinds of herbal medicine recorded on it.
Judging from the age of the drugstore owner, he should be in his fifties. According to him, he has been refining medicine for thirty-eight years, nearly forty years, and he knows a lot about the medicinal properties of herbal medicines! Even if he doesn’t read books, he knows a lot about them.
The nineteen Chinese herbal medicines recorded in this book have their own set of understandings. They are concise and concise, which made me nod my head because I couldn't stop. The pharmacy owner does have his own unique understanding of medicinal herbs. From the pharmacy owner's narration,
I know the process for a junior alchemist to advance to an intermediate alchemist.
To upgrade from a junior pharmacist to an intermediate pharmacist, you must first go to the third-level city pharmacists union for evaluation. After passing the evaluation, the junior pharmacist will need to invent a new potion and write a new prescription. This new potion must be refined.
Potions that the pharmacist has never had before, otherwise they will not count! After confirming the new potion, it will be recognized by the Alchemist Guild and awarded the title of Intermediate Alchemist.
What if no new medicine is developed? I asked this.
The owner of the drug store said something, he said: "The world of medicine! It's so vast that you can't see the edge! Different combinations of herbs will produce different effects. Even if there is only a slight change, it is a new medicine, endless,
How come it can't be developed!" After saying that, the drugstore owner thought for a moment and said: "If you can't develop it, it only proves that you don't know the medicine thoroughly enough and don't know the properties of the medicinal herbs well enough. As long as you know enough,
Developing a new potion is just a piece of cake!"
Hearing this, I nodded and asked: How can an intermediate alchemist be promoted to a senior alchemist?
Ten new medicines are enough. Now, I have developed six new medicines. With four more to go, I will be promoted to senior alchemist just around the corner!
Ten times more difficult, speechless!
Between the questions and answers, time passed unconsciously.
Seeing that I had been listening attentively, the pharmacy owner asked after finishing talking about the last herb, "Young hero, how do you remember it?"
I nodded and said: "Third out of ten."
The drugstore owner smiled and said, "Very good. There are nineteen kinds of herbs in my yard. Find three of them."
This was a test for me. I laughed, very easily. I glanced around and saw piles of herbs in the yard. There seemed to be more than thirty kinds of herbs. I saw a few that looked like nineteen kinds at once.
Herbs among herbs, step forward, grab them, smell them, shake your head, no, then look at the next one...
In just a few minutes, I handed the three herbs mentioned by the drug store owner into the hands of the drug store owner. When the drug store owner saw it, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed: "Exactly!"
The drugstore owner nodded and said: "It seems that you have almost mastered it. It's very good. It's much better than me at that time. I made mistakes several times!" Then he said: "You already understand this little book. What's next?
I'll teach you how to pick herbs! I wonder if you have time, young hero?" When the pharmacy owner asked me, I realized that three hours had passed without my noticing! I was so fascinated by it that I couldn't feel it at all!
It seems like I have plenty of time, and I have been collecting herbs for four years in previous online games, so I should be able to learn quickly!
I nodded, and the drugstore owner took out a bunch of leather cases from a corner of the yard and opened it. Inside the leather case, there were four pockets. One pocket contained a small medicine shovel, and the opening of the shovel was very large.
It's so sharp that it can be held with one hand. In one pocket is a small iron pickaxe, with a sharp front and a wide back, and a small shape. In one pocket is a dagger. It's a bit reluctant to call it a dagger because its handle is very long.
, the blade is very sharp, but not long, only less than half of the handle, like a scalpel. The last pocket contains a small pair of scissors!
When I saw this leather case, I was confused. The presence of a medicine shovel means that this set of tools must be used for collecting medicine. However, are the tools used for collecting medicine so complicated? Isn't just a medicine shovel enough?
When the pharmacy owner saw this, he said directly: "This is a relatively comprehensive set of medicinal tools for our pharmacists to collect medicine!" After speaking, he pointed to the medicine shovel.
Needless to say, the role of the medicine shovel is that some herbs need to be picked together with the roots, so it is best to use a medicine shovel! Some precious herbs grow on cliffs, and their rhizomes penetrate deep into the rocks. It is not suitable to use a medicine shovel, otherwise the rhizomes of these precious herbs will be damaged.
, the efficacy of the medicine is greatly lost. At this time, use this small iron pick to slowly tap and peel off the layers to retain the rhizomes of the precious herbs. This small dagger is very useful, but it is also very small. It is
Because they are rarely used, they are mainly used to divide herbs, remove roots and leaves, and leave only the leaves and stems with the most powerful medicinal effects. They are rarely used, but they are very useful because it is very important to do so. The last pair of scissors
The uses of herbs are also very unconventional. Some herbs are very strange. Their roots are poisonous, but their leaves are life-saving medicine. At this time, you need to cut off the leaves and keep the rhizomes.
I was speechless after hearing the introduction from the drugstore owner. Isn't it just a medicine? It looks just like that.
Collecting herbs is the simplest procedure in refining medicines. As long as you have a tool and the pharmacy owner explains some precautions, anyone can pick herbs. Not to mention that I have been collecting herbs for four years!
The drugstore owner explained it and said: "I will give you a task. If you have time, pick the remaining sixteen kinds of herbs. Not too many, just one of each kind. And, I think, you will be in my
You can find several of them in the herb garden! Give it to me at this time tomorrow and I will check and accept it. If everything is correct, I will teach you the second herbal book!"
I nodded and saw that it was getting late, four hours was just right!
Saying goodbye to the drug store owner, I started practicing my blocking again!
A junior alchemist must memorize at least five small volumes of herbal medicine scriptures. According to my pace, if I study one small volume a day, five days is enough!
However, the drug store owner has a task and asked me to collect the remaining sixteen kinds of herbs. According to the habits of these herbs that the drug store owner told me, most of these herbs are most likely to grow in the south of Xinshou Village, where
There is a small river with dense forest and inaccessible people. There is plenty of sunshine and water every day, and many medicinal herbs grow. The pharmacy owner has always wanted to go, but he is just an alchemist and not suitable for fighting. The monsters there are also rampant, ranging from level 3 to level 10.
There are all kinds of monsters. The most important thing is that there is the most concentrated place for bosses in the entire Novice Village. There are five bosses, ordinary bosses at level 5 and 10, and elite bosses, occupying the entire Novice Village.
One-fifth of the time, the most powerful boss is that there is a level 10 elite boss in the river - a hundred-year-old black fish!
You have to go here sooner or later, there are many monsters there, you can contact to block, you can go to collect herbs, you can also go to explore the wind first!
