Chapter 24 Purification of Medicinal Liquids
It's a new day.
After school on Monday morning, Xia Haoran said to the little fat man at the same table: "I have something to do, and I can't go to class in the afternoon." If a teacher asks, you can prevaricate for me. The little fat man agreed.
After leaving the school, Xia Haoran went straight to the small commodity wholesale market and bought more than 500 small glass bottles of 100 ml in one go. Then I flagged down a taxi and headed straight for the abandoned factory on the outskirts.
He knew that the process of alchemy was similar to making talismans, and if he was not careful, he would explode, so this learning process could not be carried out at home.
Then, the only place suitable for tossing is the abandoned factory where I went to learn the talisman last time, where the location is remote, sparsely populated, and will not be disturbed, let alone worry about being discovered by others.
It's still the place where the talisman was practiced last time.
Xia Haoran's mind moved, and a three-legged tripod furnace more than one meter high appeared on the concrete floor out of thin air! Good guy, is this the complete form of Shennong Ding?
However, now that he is no longer surprised that treasures can be big or small, the things in the cultivation realm are not comparable to those mortal things that ordinary people come into contact with. Xia Haoran put his hand on the Dan furnace, and then released a trace of true yuan that was slowly transported into the ding. At this moment, a surging and active heat wave came to his face, but this heat wave did not affect him in the slightest. Xia Haoran knew that this was the fire in the stone!
Generally speaking, only those top-level alchemy furnaces in the cultivation realm would have the possibility of sealing the fire, let alone a famous artifact like the Shennong Ding.
Xia Haoran took his hand back, looking at the Shennong Ding in front of him, his eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, "If you can activate this fire in the stone, you can get twice the result with half the effort when refining the pill in the future!"
After thinking for a moment, Xia Haoran once again released a trace of True Yuan and attached a wisp of his divine consciousness and transported it into the Dan Furnace. As soon as that wisp of divine consciousness entered the Dan furnace, he felt as if he had come to a world of fire. Everywhere there was a sea of fiery red, everywhere there were beating flames. Surging, irritable, destructive, scorching...... All kinds of feelings poured into his mind.
Unconsciously, Xia Haoran felt as if he had also become a flame in the sea of fire, releasing the power of fire in the world of fire.
As Xia Haoran blended more and more into the sea of fire, a trace of fiery red in the multicolored true yuan droplets in the dantian became more and more brilliant and bright, and then the other gold, blue, blue, and yellow colors also began to become brighter under the drive of fiery red.
The five elements are mutually reinforcing, and the cycle repeats!
I don't know how long it took, Xia Haoran finally took his hand back, and his divine consciousness also returned to his body. There was no time to detect the changes in the dantian, Xia Haoran pinched a trick towards Shennong Ding, only to see that Shennong Ding was faintly emitting red light, as if there was a flame burning in the furnace wall.
"Ten thousand years of spirit stone hidden in the fire! I really didn't expect that there was a fire in the stone sealed in the Shennong Ding. Although the long years have worn out its consciousness, it undoubtedly shows that this Shennong Ding is a rare treasure. ”
Xia Haoran couldn't help but feel a lot of feelings, he was also lucky to get such a treasure, he believed that with the Shennong Ding, the day of his rise was already looming.
In addition, although Shennong Ding's consciousness has been worn out and his grade has dropped a lot, Haoran firmly believes that as long as it is in an environment containing aura, this fire will continue to grow. Moreover, with the improvement of his cultivation, as long as the opportunity comes in the future, there is no possibility of recovery. After all, alchemy is not the same as boiling medicine, and if you have the help of Ding Ling, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort!
After calming down his excitement for a while, Xia Haoran took out a large number of medicinal materials, these were just the most ordinary medicinal materials purchased on the market, without the slightest aura at all, but there was no surprise that they were all good products of the Great Tonic and Solid Peiyuan Category, and he was ready to use the method of alchemy to purify them.
Using the technique of alchemy, the medicinal materials are simply refined, and the medicinal effect is purified to maximize the effect.
In this way, not only for ordinary people, but even for Xia Hao, who has the cultivation of the foundation building period, it is also a rare tonic! Although the effect is very low, it is better than nothing, and this is also the best solution he can think of at present.
Throw the medicinal herbs one by one, cover the lid, observe the overall situation with the divine sense, and control the fire with the true element.
"Buzz ......"
For a moment, I could feel the slight hum of the Ding furnace, and the medicinal herbs had already begun to be refined.
Xia Haoran felt that it was almost over, so he opened the lid and put in another batch of medicinal materials.
"Bang ......"
When a medicinal herb was put in, a flame immediately rose up, and all the medicinal herbs in the ding were burned to ashes.
Or the use of the true element is not skillful enough, and there is a deviation in the grasp of the heat. The requirements for the purification of medicinal materials are extremely precise, and the consequence of deviation is that the medicinal materials are abolished.
This is just a simple purification of ordinary medicinal materials, if those great cultivators refine high-grade pills, the medicine tripod explodes at every turn, and even worse, it is common for the tripod furnace explosion to involve people and fall.
Xia Haoran talked about this situation in his heart, his face did not change, and he was prepared in his heart.
Closing the lid of the tripod, Xia Haoran extinguished the flame with his hands and poured out the burning residue. Then clean the inside of the ding and start refining again.
"Bang ......"
Moments later, the same scenario played out.
Slowly, in the small courtyard, smoke has begun to fill. Xia Haoran ignored this and continued to focus on refining.
Fail!
Fail!
failed again and again, seeing that most of the medicinal materials were wasted, Xia Haoran still had a calm face and a heart like water. Because, in the process of failing again and again, he gradually became proficient in the mastery of the heat and the practice of purifying techniques, and he was getting closer and closer to success.
You must know that the purification process is a crucial step in the alchemy process.
These include: the order of the medicinal materials, the order is not right, it will definitely not work, the alchemy pays attention to the main and auxiliary of the monarch and the minister, the second is to remove the turnips, remove the impurities, and leave the essence, and the third is the fusion of the liquid medicine.
Among them, it is necessary to test the alchemist's mentality, fire control ability, alchemy techniques, as well as the understanding and comprehension of the medicinal properties of medicinal materials.
"Buzz ......"
Finally, after another medicinal herb was put in, the medicine tripod trembled slightly, and it seemed that a ray of light was released, and it disappeared in a flash. It is extremely mild, and if ordinary people see it here, they will even wonder if there is something wrong with their eyesight.
Then, the rich medicinal fragrance fills the air, making people appetite.
Xia Haoran's eyes flashed with joy, he knew that this time he had finally succeeded!
The pinching method extinguished the flames, Xia Haoran opened the lid of the tripod, but he didn't expect so many medicinal materials to be thrown into it, and in the end, there was only a palm-sized puddle of medicinal liquid at the bottom of the tripod, which was crystal clear.
"The fragrance of medicine is so strong, and the glow is blooming. The quality of this potion is much better than I imagined!"
Xia Haoran was overjoyed, approached the medicinal liquid, took a deep breath, and felt extremely comfortable. Quickly pour the liquid medicine into the small glass bottle that has been prepared long ago.
Holding the small glass bottle and being excited for a while, Xia Haoran calmed down and took out all the medicinal materials collected in the space in the ding.
Strike while the iron is hot!
Two hours later, Xia Haoran looked at the glass bottle placed on the floor next to him, and opened his mouth happily and laughed. Unexpectedly, after the pile of medicinal materials was finally refined, it was filled with a full 29 bottles, that is, nearly three thousand milliliters of medicinal liquid essence!
It's all a treasure!
All of them were included in the space in the Ding, and the Shennong Ding was also included in the sea of knowledge. Xia Haoran stared at a glass bottle in his hand, observed it for a long time, opened the cap, raised his head and swallowed a drop into his mouth, and quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, carefully feeling the changes in his body.
Although the amount of this drop is extremely small, it is the essence of purification. The entrance of the medicinal liquid, turned into spiritual power, with Xia Haoran's cultivation during the foundation building period, there is no problem at all. However, if it is for ordinary people, it is absolutely unbearable, and it cannot be swallowed directly!
The best way to do this, of course, is to use it as a medicinal diet or medicinal bath. Medicinal baths aside, that kind of pain is difficult for ordinary people to bear. Then, at the moment, only medicinal diet is the best choice. Let the liquid medicine melt into the meal, the medicinal power is still so much, but after dilution and dilution, it is not so violent, and ordinary people can withstand it.
"It's a good idea, yes, that's it!"
Do what you think.
On the way back to the city, Xia Haoran passed by a shopping supermarket and walked in.
After a cup of tea, Xia Haoran walked out with a large bag of things in his hand. There are pork rump meat, chicken thighs, bream, lettuce, large green peppers, and lettuce...... What's even more exaggerated is that he is still holding a casserole jar in his arms that can only be used to boil Chinese medicine.
When I got home, I looked at the time, and my parents were about half an hour away from work, so I had to start work as soon as possible. Xia Haoran rarely cooked at home before, but as the saying goes: I don't eat pork, but I have seen pigs walking. He grew up eating for more than ten years, and the fact that he rarely does it doesn't mean that he doesn't know anything.
Brush the large casserole and place it on the gas cooktop. Throw the chicken thighs you just bought, put the water in it, without adding any condiments, boil it first and blanch it. Then, put the blanched chicken thighs into a large casserole, star anise, ginger slices, bay leaves, salt and other condiments and appropriate amount of water. Finally, take out a bottle of liquid medicine, pour seven or eight milliliters, cover the lid and start to stew.
Picking, washing, chopping.
Xia Haoran held a kitchen knife for the first time, but his heart was not empty at all! With the assistance of his super plug-in, everything was not a problem.
It's time to stir-fry.
One stove and two stoves are good, one stove is stewed with chicken soup in a casserole, and the other stove is stir-fried.
Soon, the stir-fry is done! Stir-fried lean pork with green peppers, stir-fried shredded lettuce, braised fish, garlic and oil and wheat vegetables.
Four dishes and one soup, meat and vegetable matching, simple and hearty! Red peppers, green vegetables, golden fish...... The color is rich but not messy, which makes people look full of appetite, not to mention the smell of enchanting insects. Of course, this is also the reason why Xia Haoran will drip two drops of liquid medicine into every dish he stir-fries.
What, you ask me soup?
The chicken soup being simmered in a casserole, of course.
The aroma in the casserole began to permeate. Xia Haoran looked at the time, turned on the rice cooker, boiled rice, and then stood in the kitchen, closely monitoring the movement of the casserole.
The chicken broth is stewed, the lid of the casserole is opened, and the fragrant chicken broth is out of the pot. Because of the addition of that part of the liquid, the chicken soup seemed to leak out at the moment it came out of the pot. The rich fragrance is tempting, and it is almost impossible to resist.
Xia Haoran licked his lips, took out a small piece, and swallowed it without caring about the heat, and then his eyes lit up!
What's more important is the medicinal power contained in it. As the food enters the stomach, it instantly penetrates the whole body and nourishes the blood vessels.
Refreshing!
It's so cool!
It's as if every pore is open.
Now it's time to sit back and have dinner together when my parents come back from work. Xia Haoran was afraid of any accidents, so he didn't dare to leave, so he kept watch in the living room, always paying attention to the kitchen.
You know, just these four dishes and one soup, almost ten milliliters of liquid medicine were used! This is all money. I spent nearly one million dollars on two purchases of medicinal herbs! I only got 29 bottles of medicinal liquid, and each bottle was more than 30,000 yuan, so the cost of this meal was as high as more than 3,000 yuan!
However, this little money is just a drop in the bucket for Xia Haoran now, not to mention that this is to entertain his parents and relatives, in order for them to have a good body, it is worth spending more and investing more.
When his consciousness swept to the fact that his parents had already walked into the gate of the community, Xia Haoran wiped the table and began to serve food.
