Chapter 25: The Elixir (I)
"Old Jiu, I don't know if you have a way to cure Xia Lanxuan?" Old Jiu is very mysterious, although he doesn't have any spiritual power, but Xing Feng knows that if he is an opponent with Old Jiu, he will definitely not be able to hold up a move.
Xing Feng actually wanted to help Xia Lanxuan, he was also a man, he could understand that no man wanted to stand behind a woman all the time, and his beloved woman had to be guarded by himself.
"There is a way. The old man said lightly.
"Then I'm tired of drinking. Xing Feng said with some eagerness.
"It's not me who makes the shot, it's you who makes the shot. ”
"Old wine, you're not kidding, I'll make a move, I can't even heal myself, how can I heal others. ”
"No, you can't learn. ”
Xing Feng looked at Jiu Lao with wide eyes, looking at Jiu Lao with a serious face, it didn't seem like a joke, if he wanted him to learn, was he really sure?
Regardless of whether Xing Feng agreed or not, the old man said: "Elixir Master, it is very rare in the entire Tenglong Dynasty, do you know why this is the case?"
"It should be that the medicinal properties of the elixir are difficult to grasp?" Xing Feng said his speculation, in fact, he didn't understand it very well, according to normal circumstances, it was not difficult to know the medicinal effect of the elixir, just like him, just find a copy of the "Encyclopedia of Elixirs" and take a look. Since you know the effect of the medicine, you should be able to cure the disease by prescribing the right medicine. Then why are elixir masters so scarce? Xing Feng didn't feel curious in his heart.
Jiu Lao shook his head and said, "No, although the medicinal properties of the elixir are relatively difficult to grasp, as long as you take the time to comprehend, you can still solve it." Speaking of this, the old man paused and said again: "The difficulty of becoming an elixir master lies in the control of the elixir. ”
"The control of the elixir is divided into two situations, the first is the interaction between the elixirs, for example, the red flame grass contains extremely strong Yang Qi, which is used to treat some martial artists suffering from cold diseases, which can be theoretically established. The Yang Qi contained in the Red Flame Grass will restrain the Yin and Cold Qi in the martial artist's body, thus expelling the Yin and Cold Qi. ”
"But in fact, it ignores a very serious problem, that is, although the Yang Qi restrains the Yin and Cold Qi, it is not able to swallow the Yin and Cold Qi, and the two extreme energies meet in the body, you can imagine what will happen, the martial artist is very weak when he is injured, what will happen when he encounters such a fierce energy? ”
"The second kind of control refers to the control of the amount of elixir, such as a yellow rank and a grade of the Yellow Rank and a grade of the Yellow Rank Xuanling Grass, the medicinal properties of the two elixirs complement each other, according to a certain proportion of the fusion together, can improve the medicinal properties of the Hu Longteng, but if the proportion is slightly deviated, it will be counterproductive, and the weak toxicity of the Xuanling Grass itself will be magnified more than ten times, thus poisoning the life of the Dao martial artist. ”
"An elixir master is a person who can save the life of a warrior, but he is also a person who can kill a warrior. It is only up to the elixir master to understand his symptoms, and to control the elixir. ”
Jiu Lao's words surprised Xing Feng, he didn't expect that becoming an elixir master would be so cumbersome, no wonder the elixir master of the Tenglong Dynasty was so noble, it turned out that the conditions for becoming an elixir master were too harsh, and rare was noble.
"Then how can we control the spirit grass well?" Xing Feng asked.
Jiu Lao took a sip of wine and continued to patiently explain to Xing Feng: "The control of the spirit grass has a lot to do with soul power. Soul power is possessed by every martial artist, and the strength of soul power determines the key to a martial artist becoming an elixir master. ”
"Soul power can be improved through cultivation, and the role of soul power is not only used to control the elixir, but also to perceive everything around it, and powerful soul power can perceive anything that happens within a radius of dozens of miles. ”
"Old wine, how do you use your soul power?" Xing Feng asked his question again.
"The use of soul power, in layman's terms, is to use one's own soul to perceive the things around you. The old man looked at Xingfeng and said.
When Xing Feng heard this, he began to use his divine soul to perceive the restaurant, and then he suddenly found that any item within three zhang of him was clearly perceived, which made him happy, and immediately said: "Old wine, my perception range is within three zhang, I don't know if I can become an elixir master." ”
"Becoming an elixir master does not mean that you can have soul power and knowledge of spirit grass, but you have to practice it yourself and use soul power to control spirit grass. This is an ordinary potion recipe, if you can make it, then you will be one step closer to the elixir master. As he spoke, the old man took out a yellowed recipe and handed it to Xing Feng, and then took out several elixirs needed for the liquid recipe, a total of ten copies.
Seeing this, Xing Feng put all the elixirs on the table into the space ring, and then picked up the liquid medicine prescription to check it. There are only two short lines of words, and the recipe of the medicinal solution reads, "One or two spirit herbs, two taels of water fennel, three taels of herb leaves, one or two days of fairy vines, and one or two of Xuanling grass." ”
"That's it?" Xing Feng asked the old man with some doubts, and the old man said lightly: "Otherwise, what do you think?"
Although this liquid medicine recipe writes the amount of each elixir, there is no order of spirit grass, and there is no time for preparation, Xing Feng doesn't believe that all the brains can be successfully configured in the container, so easy to prepare, and the old man will not give him ten elixirs, not to mention that it is so easy to configure, the elixir master will be scarce?
Xing Feng took out an elixir and put it all into the porcelain vase, but with a "bang", the porcelain bottle shattered, and the energy of various spirit grasses filled the room, making it a little difficult for Xing Feng to breathe, and it took a few minutes before the energy of the spirit grass dissipated in the air.
Sure enough, it's not that simple, the order of each spirit grass must be regulated, and it is impossible to configure it like this. So which elixir to put first and which elixir to release later, Xing Feng had no answer in his heart.
"The old man is old, you have to rest early, Feng boy, you prepare it slowly. The old man yawned, and then walked out of the room of the torture wind.
Xing Feng didn't seem to hear the words of the old wine, and kept thinking about how to know the order of the spirit grass, and the quantity written on the medicinal liquid recipe should not be fake, it must be a matter of self-preparation.
"Why is it still not working, what is wrong?" Xingfeng roared impatiently in the room. This is the ninth attempt of Xingfeng, and it is also the tenth day of coming to Siyu City.
In the past ten days, Xingfeng has changed many methods to prepare, but none of them have succeeded, which makes him very irritable, and his original intention at the beginning has slowly changed, and he has a desire to give up.
"Knock Knock"
A knock on the door came into the room, Xing Feng knew that it was Xia Yuxi who brought him food, in the past ten days, Xia Yuxi would bring the food on time every day, whenever Xing Feng saw Xia Yuxi, the sweet voice said, "Brother Xing Feng, it's time to eat." "The irritability, the desire to give up, will disappear and be replaced by a lot of motivation.
Xingfeng opened the door and saw Xia Yuxi standing outside the door as always, holding some food in both hands, and when he saw Xingfeng, Xia Yuxi would say, "Brother Xingfeng, it's time to eat." ”
"Hmm. Yuxi is so good. Xing Feng touched Xia Yuxi's head, showed a very unnatural smile, and took the meal in Xia Yuxi's hand.
"Big Brother Xingfeng, you look so scary now. Xia Yuxi patted her chest and said.
At this time, Xing Feng had not closed his eyes for ten consecutive days, with thick dark circles under his eyes, his hair was scattered in front of him, and his face was tired. In addition, the clothes on his body were tattered by the energy of the spirit grass. In a little girl's cognition, he was really a little scary.
"Brother Xingfeng didn't scare Yuxi. Xing Feng's eyes are full of doting, he has always hoped that he has a younger sister, Xia Yuxi is innocent, clever and cute, well-behaved and sensible, which makes Xing Feng like it very much.
"Yuxi is not afraid, Yuxi knows that Brother Xingfeng is a good person. By the way, big brother Xingfeng, hurry up and eat, this is specially made by my grandma, the heat is just now, and it won't taste good if it's cold. I'll go first, so I won't disturb the big brother of Xingfeng to eat. Xia Yuxi said with her eyes flickering.
Xing Feng muttered to himself, "Fire, fire." Then he seemed to understand something, and patted his head, why didn't he think that every chef is very particular about the heat, why do chefs know the heat, because they all understand the characteristics of each food itself, so they can perfectly control the heat.
Some ingredients take too long to cook, which will affect the nutritional value and taste of the ingredients. The same is true of the elixir, Xing Feng has always forgotten the "Encyclopedia of Elixirs" that Jiu Lao asked him to watch before, and now he understands what Jiu Lao means.
