Earth Chapter 69: Refining Medicine?
Yang Xingchen held the big stove and walked no different than usual, just careful not to touch the trees around him.
Chen Jinnan and Wu Yaohua held the big bag of carbon together.
The group soon came to the big stone crevice.
"I had to get in through the two holes above. Chen Jinnan said to Lin Yuansan, the commander of the second company, who was standing next to the big stone crevice: "Where is the rope that you prepared last night?"
"Here, tie this stove, right?" Lin Yuansan said, pointing to a large box on the ground beside him.
He and the other two used ropes to secure the entire alchemy furnace, and then used another long, thick rope to tie to the rope that held the alchemy furnace in place.
Yang Xingchen took advantage of this time to move another alchemy furnace over.
Yang Xingchen grabbed the other end of the tied long rope, reached the big stone mountain in three jumps and two jumps, and then carefully pulled up the rope.
The alchemy furnace was slowly pulled up, and from time to time it touched the stone wall.
However, the copper furnace was relatively strong and did not cause any damage, except for a few faint marks.
After a while, the alchemy furnace was pulled to the top of the stone mountain by Yang Xingchen, and he lifted the alchemy furnace and dragged the rope towards the entrance of the stone cave at a high place.
Came to the mouth of a stone cave, and several soldiers guarding there were shocked when they saw this, how could this man be so bold and walk so fast with such a big stove.
Yang Xingchen smiled at them, carefully lowered the furnace from the hole, and slowly relaxed the rope until the alchemy furnace reached the ground.
Lin Yuansan was already waiting below, and he quickly untied the long rope on the alchemy furnace.
Yang Xingchen pulled the rope up, returned to the big stone wall and looked down, and found that another alchemy furnace had been fixed with a rope.
He hurriedly put down the long rope, and when the people below tied it up, Yang Xingchen carefully pulled the alchemy furnace up.
Coming to the mouth of the stone cave again, he skillfully put down the alchemy furnace, and finally threw down the long rope.
Then he jumped and jumped.
One of the soldiers standing next to him opened his mouth wide and instinctively reached out to grab him, thinking that he had accidentally fallen.
He opened his eyes wide and saw Yang Xingchen squatting on the ground with his knees steady, and then slowly stood up, smiling and talking like a nobody...... It took him a few minutes before he came to his senses and said to himself, "Youkai!"
Yang Xingchen continued to do his job as a tool carrier, and with the help of the Hidden Spirit Suit, he moved the two alchemy furnaces into the secret realm in two times.
The group entered the secret realm again, and the people inside were still busy.
Luo Lei, the commander of the first battalion, was also at the entrance and exit of the secret realm, he called some people to help, a few people helped to hold a large bag of carbon and medicinal materials, and six or seven people lifted an alchemy furnace together, and walked towards the Gathering Spirit Pagoda in the center of the secret realm.
About half an hour later, I came to the Gathering Spirit Tower.
The strong light at the entrance was still so dazzling, and Yang Xingchen found that the lifting device on the platform seemed to be working, and someone was standing on the lifting platform.
"Can this work?" Yang Xingchen walked over with the alchemy furnace and asked the two female soldiers.
The two female soldiers looked at the shape of the strong man Yang Xingchen in surprise, and kept nodding their heads.
Yang Xingchen walked onto the lifting platform, and the entire platform did not move at all, as if it was very firm.
The others also stood up, Ding Lingling looked at the lifting platform without handrails, and was a little scared: "Why don't you even have a handrail? ”
After speaking, he grabbed Wu Yaohua's arm tightly with both hands, and Wu Yaohua showed a happy expression on his face, he didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly.
He smiled at Ding Lingling and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay with me." ”
"I know, even if you do fall, I can pull you on your back. Ding Lingling said.
"......" Wu Yaohua was speechless in surprise.
"Of course it's a joke, why don't you have a sense of humor?" Ding Lingling said helplessly.
"Hehe......" Wu Yaohua immediately smirked again when he heard it.
"How does this work?" asked Chen Jinnan as he turned to a female soldier.
"There are two buttons here, one up and one down. The female soldier replied.
"It's that simple?" Chen Jinnan couldn't believe it.
"Well, and this lifting device is not broken, it has always worked. The female soldier continued.
"Then we were exercising when we walked the stairs before, right?" Everyone looked at Yang Xingchen, only he had seen this lifting equipment last time.
"You can only blame me~" Yang Xingchen had no choice but to carry the pot.
The platform descended quickly and steadily, and after a while, it reached the bottom of the Gathering Spirit Tower.
Yang Xingchen and the rest of the soldiers put the two alchemy furnaces and several large bags containing carbon-charged medicinal materials on the relatively empty ground.
"Okay, everything is ready, which of you will do alchemy?" asked Chen Jinnan.
"I'll come first!Refine the medicine first!" Zhu Yan took the bag of medicinal materials he carried, came to the alchemy furnace with the dragon carving, and said seriously: "Take the 'Shengjisan' to practice your hands first, if you fail, it will not be a pity, they are all medicinal materials that can be easily bought." ”
"Xingchen, help me open the lid of the alchemy furnace. Zhu Yan said to Yang Xingchen.
Yang Xingchen, who was next to him, easily opened the lid of the alchemy furnace and took a look inside.
"This pot-like thing hanging in here is for the ingredients, right?" Yang Xingchen asked.
"Well, I'm going to put all the materials I need in. Zhu Yan took out some medicinal materials from the big bag one after another.
"Pearls, dragon bones, elephant skins......" Zhu Yan put all the medicinal materials used in refining 'Shengjisan' into the pot in the alchemy furnace in turn.
Then he poured a few more bottles of purified water into the pot.
She asked Yang Xingchen to put the lid on.
Some more carbon was put into the opening under the alchemy furnace and ignited with an accelerant.
The carbon slowly burned, and the fire grew bigger and bigger.
"How does this look like cooking!" Ding Lingling said with a sigh after watching the whole process.
"It's like cooking, and after a while the water is dry, you have to keep it running. Zhu Yan said.
"Wait until everything is boiled and then mash it and continue to boil?" Ding Lingling asked.
"That's right, this method is the decoction method in traditional Chinese medicine, where all the essence of the herbs is melted in water. Zhu Yan said.
"Well, it's the same as boiling sauce. Ding Lingling nodded and said.
"I'll add some more water to it now. After an hour, when all the herbs are boiled, I mash them again and cook them over high heat for another hour. Zhu Yan said.
Because the lid of the entire alchemy furnace was already a little hot, Yang Xingchen put something in his hands and carefully opened the lid.
As soon as it was opened, a large stream of steam rushed out of the alchemy furnace, accompanied by a strong smell of Chinese medicine.
Zhu Yan waited for the steam to run away, and stood carefully on the edge of the alchemy furnace, beware of the hot alchemy furnace wall, and poured a few bottles of pure water into the pot.
Yang Xingchen re-closed the lid of the alchemy furnace at Zhu Yan's suggestion, and added some carbon to the hole below.
