Chapter 47: Alchemy

The meal that could have been eaten in ten minutes, the two little guys chatted and quarreled, and it took half an hour to finish the meal.

After eating, Yuexi received water to wash the dishes, and Haoyu wiped the table, set up chairs, and swept the floor.

After the two were busy, they came to the front yard and began to sort out the herbs, and the sorted herbs were placed on the bamboo plaque, and then dried on the stone platform in the yard.

After drying for an hour, the herbs begin to be organized, the rhizomes are cut to remove the mud, and the water is washed clean.

Alchemy is not a boil dry to become a pill, alchemy is divided into three steps: boiling medicine and removing miscellaneous pinching pills, and the requirements for the mastery of internal force are extremely strict.

There are also a lot of herbs in the courtyard, the herbs ground into powder are used to refine the Kiev Dan, the main pill and the auxiliary pill have different effects, the main pill is used for breakthrough cultivation, the auxiliary pill is used to strengthen the seven meridians and eight veins and acupuncture points, and play the role of consolidating the essence and regulating the yuan, and the auxiliary pill is to grind the dried herbs into powder and mix them with living water, and knead them into pills, which is much easier than refining the main pill.

Alchemy is also divided into two kinds, standardized alchemy, which is the alchemy standard formulated by the alchemist Yuding Daoren, who was named the alchemist of the Yuntang Kingdom, also called Yuding alchemy, refining the most basic Qi Cultivation Pill requires more than a dozen herbs, and the materials for refining the Zhuji Dan have increased exponentially.

This kind of alchemy has become the standard in the alchemy world, firstly, because the herbs are cheap and easy to grow, and secondly, the requirements for internal force are not high.

The other is the Five Elements Alchemy, which is a magical alchemy from the Immortal Spirit Continent, refining and refining the Qi Pill, only two materials, spiritual water and spring grass, and the Ding of the refining tool is also exquisite, at least platinum and copper materials are needed, and those who become the Five Elements Alchemist must first master a fire essence.

The Jade Ding Alchemy Technique takes an hour to refine a furnace of Qi Cultivation Pill, while the Five Elements Alchemy only takes one minute, and in addition to the efficiency, the more important quality has also been greatly improved.

Granny Yao is from the Immortal Spirit Continent and is proficient in the Five Elements Alchemy, and in order to hide her identity, she only uses the Jade Ding Alchemy to perform alchemy in the Tianchi Sect.

After Haoyu and Yuexi sorted out the herbs, they had nothing to do and sat in the courtyard to chat, and half an hour later, the medicine mother-in-law Yunzhu returned with food.

Yuexi immediately got up and greeted her and spoke, "Auntie is good." ”

Haoyu stepped forward and asked, "Granny Yao." ”

Granny Yao nodded casually and said, "The two of you will bring the sorted herbs to the table in the backyard, and we will now refine the pill." ”

"Yes, Auntie. ”

Yuexi and Haoyu took a bamboo plaque of herbs to each other, crossed the house into the backyard, and placed the medicine plaques neatly on the long table in the backyard.

The backyard is extremely spacious, with a size of 200 square meters, surrounded by a wooden fence, there is a well in the courtyard, two alchemy stoves, a long table, five or six low bamboo chairs, and there are some sundries and a few bundles of firewood piled up in the corner.

Haoyu was very excited to see alchemy for the first time.

The medicine lady took out the Ruyi bag in her waist and took out a medicine tripod from it, the medicine tripod was half a high, Haoyu asked with a puzzled face: "Didn't you say that the Ruyi bag only contains sundries one foot in size?"

Yuexi explained, "This wishful bag has a grid and a non-grid, and the one without a grid can only hold one thing." ”

Haoyu asked again: "Then this Danding has a hundred catties of weight, how can it stand it when it is hung on the waist?"

Yuexi said: "There is buoyancy in this Ruyi bag, this Danding has a weight of 100 catties, and it is only a few catties important after being packed into the Ruyi bag, which is not heavy for a martial artist." ”

Haoyu said: "I see, can this pretend to be a person?"

Yuexi said: "Living creatures are definitely not good, there is no air in here, and it is difficult for living creatures to stay in it." ”

Granny Yao turned her head and glanced at the two of them, "Go get a bucket of water." ”

"Yes, Auntie. Yuexi replied.

After Yuexi finished speaking, she walked towards the well.

"I'll help you. ”

Haoyu hurriedly ran over.

Granny Yao's cultivation is the Yuan Realm, and it is very easy to carry hundreds of catties of heavy objects, and Granny Yao puts the Ding on the top of the earthen stove.

The earthen stove is boxy, one meter high and one meter five long and wide, and there is a mouth under the earthen stove that can add firewood.

Danding is one foot high on each of its four feet, and it is inserted into the four holes of the earthen stove to fix Danding.

After the bucket entered the well, it was filled with more than half a bucket of water, and Haoyu was desperately pulling the rope to pull the bucket up, and Yuexi stood aside to encourage Haoyu.

"Brother Haoyu, use some force. ”

Haoyu sweated profusely and glared at Yuexi, "Do you usually fetch water?"

Yuexi smiled: "That's right, Brother Haoyu, didn't I tell you? I cultivate to build a foundation, don't look at me as a weak woman, my strength is much greater than yours." ”

Haoyu said: "Then you come." ”

Yuexi smiled, took the hemp rope with both hands and pulled it up.

One, two, three, four, five, a few breaths pulled the bucket up, and Haoyu looked embarrassed.

"I didn't expect you to have so much strength, I am ashamed of myself, and I am willing to lose. Haoyu bowed his hand and teased with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, Brother Haoyu, as long as you cultivate to reach the fifth level of Qi cultivation, you can easily pull the bucket down. ”

"What are you two still messing around there?" said Granny Yaku, scolding at the two of them.

"Auntie's Danding has been erected, let's hurry over. ”

Yuexi is often reprimanded by Granny Yao, and she doesn't fight back, she is naturally tame and kind, of course, sometimes Yuexi will talk back, and when she talks back, it's mostly because Granny Medicine is prejudiced.

Yuexi carried the bucket to the earthen stove, there is a stone step under the earthen stove, about two meters high, standing on the stone step can add water and herbs to the Danding.

Yuexi poured the water into the Danding, "Brother Haoyu, hand me those baskets of herbs." ”

Haoyu responded: "Okay, you wait." ”

Haoyu turned around and walked to the long table, picked up a basket of herbs and walked up the stone steps and handed it to Yuexi, "Give it to Yuexi." ”

Yuexi took it and poured the herbs directly into the Danding.

"Brother Haoyu, go get it again. ”

Yuexi handed the basket to Haoyu, and Haoyu went down the stone steps, went to the long table, and moved another basket and handed it to Yuexi.

After the two of them were busy, they went down the stone steps and watched the medicine mother-in-law alchemy on the side.

Haoyu was bored and chatted with Yuexi again.

Haoyu asked, "How long does it take to cook this medicine?"

Yuexi said: "About an hour. ”

Haoyu thought for a while, and then said: "Boiling on low heat or high heat, will it be boiled dry, and what is boiled is also medicinal juice, how can the medicinal juice solidify him?"

Yuexi: "......"

Haoyu said, "What's wrong?"

Yuexi said: "Cook over high heat, this herb has the most important herb of sunflower root, its function is to coagulate the medicinal juice." ”

Haoyu said: "Isn't that the same as the effect of starch?"

Yuexi said: "Probably!"

Granny Yao frowned and coughed, "Why do you two little guys talk so much, be quiet." ”

Granny Yao sat three feet in front of the earthen stove, and when she was about to do the exercises, she was so noisy that she couldn't concentrate on the conversation between Haoyu and Yuexi.

Not like that in Moonstream before.

During the meal, Yuexi wanted to talk to Granny Yao, but Granny Yao told her that she couldn't talk during dinner, and then Yuexi stopped asking her when she was eating.

When refining the pill, Yuexi asked this and that, and the medicine mother-in-law said to read more, and Yuexi would no longer dare to ask in the future.

When I was sleeping at night, I heard singing, Yuexi asked who was singing, and Granny Yao said that your senior sister Yunzhu was sick and was locked up in the back mountain, so don't mention this person in the future, so far Yuexi will not dare to mention it again.

In addition to helping her mother-in-law pick medicine, do chores, practice martial arts, and read books every day, Yuexi rarely speaks, and this day is quiet.

Are you really wrong?

Yuexi is happy, shouldn't she be happy for her?

But Yun Zhu and Huo Qing were the same before.

What kind of childhood, what kind of love, in the eyes of Granny Yao, is a waste of time to find troubles, and those who practice should abstain from love and devote themselves to the Tao.

Since ancient times, he has been amorous and hateful, and he knows why there are still moths fighting fires.

Granny Yao felt helpless and confused like never before.
