After a whole day's work, even a walk-on figure like Zuo Feng was so tired that he couldn't support himself.
‘It’s better to fight with others, it will be more enjoyable. I didn’t expect that doing business would be such a tiring thing’.
Zuo Feng complained in his heart, and at the same time he realized deeply that he was indeed not a businessman. So the day after the auction, he completely handed over the affairs of the trading house to the inviter.
Boss Zhong and the Fifth Elder are coming, and he has to start making preparations for the upcoming trial.
If you want to improve your strength in a short period of time, in addition to practicing some powerful martial arts, you can only use some drugs to give yourself some self-protection during the trial.
Although the old man did not say what benefits he would gain from each level of the "Spin Tower Trial". Zuo Feng vaguely guessed that the rewards that could be placed in the county trial competition every five years must also be some rare ones.
thing.
He had just advanced to the bone refining stage, and there was basically no hope of improving his cultivation level in a short period of time. But even if he had a way to improve his cultivation level again, Zuo Feng would not do it. He still understands the principle that going too far is not enough. So in terms of cultivation level
Zuo Feng still chose to stabilize for the time being and focus on refining medicine.
As for the art of making medicine, he put almost all his energy and time into it during that year of waste. Although Zuo Feng was very interested in the art of refining medicine, he was troubled by many things during this time, and he was really
I don't have much time to do. Now that the trading house is on track, I also have the time and energy to study it carefully.
Regarding the basic art of mixing medicine, Zuo Feng has already learned a lot from Zhuang Yu. Although he cannot achieve the same level of excellence as Zhuang Yu, he has barely reached the level of an alchemist apprentice. His next goal is to prepare for production.
As long as he can successfully refine some medicinal powders into finished medicinal powders, he will be considered to have reached the level of a junior pharmacist.
Zuo Feng had seen those powdered medicine prescriptions in the Tiangong Medicine Refining Shop, but each one was horribly expensive. Although Zuo Feng could be considered to be somewhat wealthy now, he still didn't want to spend all his money.
On those prescriptions.
He had previously found a "Basic Medicine Refining Experience" in the underground secret room of Jinyan Mountain, which also recorded several good prescriptions. Zuo Feng decided to practice using the prescriptions recorded in this book first. As for the medicinal materials
On the other hand, Zhuang Yu also has some there, and he can pick them up and use them at any time.
There is still a courtyard in the backyard of the shop. Although his home is also a good place, he still knows his quirky sister very well. If he concentrates on refining medicine, he must avoid this "
Little monster".
So Zuo Feng just explained it to the fifth elder and cleared out a relatively secluded room in the courtyard to prepare the medicine for himself.
He had bought a medicinal furnace himself, so after retrieving the medicinal materials from Zhuang Yu of the old shop, Zuo Feng locked the door from the inside and started refining the medicinal powder.
There weren't many prescriptions recorded in Zuo Feng's book. After briefly looking at their effects, he picked out two of them. One was "Fu Ling San" which mainly restored spiritual energy;
The "Huali Powder" focuses on physical strength. Both of these two medicinal powders will be extremely useful in dealing with the next "Twisting Tower Trial".
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Zuo Feng first calmed down his somewhat excited mood. Different from the previous mixing of medicines, refining medicine powder requires absolute concentration. Zuo Feng pressed his palms close to the ground and mobilized his mind power to inject the nanocrystals into his palms.
Within the room, like magic, piles of medicinal materials and an exquisitely shaped medicine furnace suddenly appeared on the ground.
After doing this, Zuo Feng slowly took out a small bag from his arms and opened it, revealing pieces of tiny blood-red crystals. As soon as he saw these blood-red crystals, Zuo Feng frowned slightly, because it was
Such a pack of crystals cost him almost five gold coins.
This blood-red crystal is called Flame Crystal. Because it is only produced in the Xuanwu Empire, the price in Yancheng, which is part of the Yelin Empire, will be relatively expensive. If this Flame Crystal is fed with spiritual energy, it will emit extremely powerful energy.
Huge heat, general medicine refining or qi refining all rely on this kind of flame crystal to complete.
Zuo Feng picked out a flame crystal from it and put it into a hole at the bottom of the medicine furnace. Then Zuo Feng put his hand on a protrusion on the side of the medicine furnace, and injected it with the spiritual energy sent out from his palm.
In the furnace, a feeling of hot heat was transmitted from the medicine furnace.
Zuo Feng smiled slightly when he saw this, took a nectar flower from a pair of medicinal materials nearby, and put it into the medicine furnace. This method of relying on the medicine furnace to make medicine was much simpler than his previous method of mixing medicine.
Because Zhuang Yu couldn't practice body refining before, he couldn't use the medicine furnace to make medicine. What Zuo Feng learned at the beginning was this method of mixing medicine. If he made the medicine mixture as before, the process would be much more complicated.
Medicinal medicines go through many tedious processes such as cooking, drying, grinding, and sorting. Making them is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also requires the person who makes them to be extremely careful and patient.
Most people who practice medicine refining have a certain level of cultivation, so it is almost difficult to see this most primitive method of medicine making. After all, the mixed medicine that takes so much time and energy to make is simply not worth it.
A medicine powder prepared by a junior alchemist through a medicine furnace.
But it is undeniable that the most primitive method of mixing medicines also contains some profound pharmacology. This kind of learning from the most basic level, although it seemed to have taken some detours before, but as time passed, Zuo Feng became deeply aware of it.
He understood how important the foundation Zhuang Yu laid for him was.
Zuo Feng looked delighted at this time, watching the enchanted flowers jumping in the fire, as if they were dancing. Some tiny mucus was baked out, and then the mucus became more and more. At a certain moment, Zuo Feng waved his hand.
I threw in a white bud vine and started to watch the changes in the furnace closely.
The liquid extracted from the Mysterious Flower was hovering at the edge of the fire like crystal water droplets. Zuo Feng now had to control the spiritual energy and move the liquid slightly away from the flame without letting the temperature drop.
Too low and solidified. In addition, we have to continue to refine the Baiya Vine that just entered the furnace. This is no longer as simple as distraction.
At this time, Zuo Feng's "Yunlang Palm", which he had been practicing to no avail, came into play at this time. Using distraction and control to control multiple spiritual energies, Zuo Feng still felt that he was able to do it with ease.
Zuo Feng, who was refining the medicine, suddenly felt as if he had entered a mysterious state. The small medicine furnace in front of him was like a special world, and the fire in the furnace was like the earth that gave birth to all things.
The constantly jumping medicinal materials are like the creatures in this small world.
At this moment, Zuo Feng felt that he was the creator of this small world, and that he could control life and death in this small world. This mysterious feeling made Zuo Feng a little excited. But before he could deeply understand the mysterious feeling, from the medicine furnace,
There was a slight explosion.
The White Bud Vine that was being refined and the Mysterious Flower juice extracted earlier were all scrapped with the explosion just now. Zuo Feng shook his head with a wry smile, but his mood at the moment was still about tasting the medicine for the first time.
in joy.
He was not shocked by the failure at all, but quickly poured out the scrapped residue. He checked that there were still a lot of flame crystals left in the furnace, and without stopping, he took another Mysterious Flower from beside him.
Then started re-refining.
With Zuo Feng's unremitting efforts, residues gradually appeared around him. So far, he had not succeeded in making a medicinal powder, which made Zuo Feng's initial enthusiasm and interest also disappear.
It was all spent. But Zuo Feng never thought of giving up. After all, it took him almost a month to learn how to mix medicine before he managed to make a pack of usable medicine powder.
Zuo Feng thus entered a state of madness. Apart from sleeping and recovering his spiritual energy, he spent all his time refining medicine.
On the evening of the fourth day, Zuo Feng watched as the last iron heart grass in the medicine furnace was refined. His eyes could not help but condense slightly. This was the first time in four days that he had successfully refined all the medicine. Next
It is to combine all the previously refined medicinal liquids together.
At this time, Zuo Feng even tried to slow down his breathing, and the hand pressing against the furnace wall could not help but tremble slightly. It was not clear whether he was excited or afraid of failure. Under his gaze, the colorful liquid medicine slowly
Slowly gathering toward the center of the medicine furnace, the flames became much milder than before under his control.
If an intermediate alchemist were here, he would definitely sneer at Zuo Feng's approach at this time, because Zuo Feng actually carefully controlled the fusion of two liquids. If it were a junior alchemist with some experience, he would fuse them all at once.
method. Because the materials for making all primary medicine powders are extremely stable and mild medicinal materials, unless there are too big mistakes in the fusion, there is no possibility of failure.
But Zuo Feng didn't know anything about this. He carefully blended all the medicinal liquids together little by little. Only after all the medicinal liquids merged into a dark green medicinal liquid, did he dare to take a breath.
atmosphere.
Then he hurriedly wrapped the medicinal liquid with spiritual energy, and a new spiritual energy was sent out, and the medicinal liquid flew out of the medicine furnace automatically. Zuo Feng quickly used a jade bottle to catch the medicinal liquid.
If you want to achieve the best effect of the medicine, you should naturally continue to condense it immediately after refining the medicine. But Zuo Feng carefully took out the medicine, meditated at the same time to restore some spiritual energy, and then continued to make the medicine powder.
last step.
When the liquid medicine put into the medicine furnace slowly turned into green crystals in the flames, Zuo Feng knew that he was finally done. Then he took out a piece of oil paper and poured the extracted crystals into it.
There was still some warmth remaining on the medicine powder. Looking at the slightly rough surface of the crystal, Zuo Feng knew that his refining of medicine this time could only be regarded as barely successful.
He lightly dipped a little green crystal with his fingertips. Zuo Feng first put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it. A faint fragrance passed into his nose. Zuo Feng smiled slightly, put the finger dipped in crystal into his mouth, and rolled his tongue.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva mixed with the medicinal powder.
With little effort, Zuo Feng felt a warm feeling coming from his lower abdomen. Then a trace of spiritual energy jumped out from his organs. The small part of the spiritual energy that had just been consumed in refining the medicine was under the influence of the medicine.
