Chapter 37: Refining the Pill
Back to the village committee, the village head, as a notary, and Xiao Wuer's uncle, as the representative of the owner, signed a rental agreement with Fang Huairan: the lease period is half a year, the rent is 25,000, the payment is quarterly, and the water and electricity bills are paid by themselves.

After Fang Huairan personally talked to Xiao Wu on the phone, he decided to pay 10,000 yuan first, and then pay the remaining 15,000 next quarter, write Xiao Wu's card number and contact information on the rental agreement, sign the agreement, Fang Huairan drove to the bank in a nearby town to transfer 10,000 yuan to Xiao Wu, and the two of them laid out the luggage they brought from Yanjing that night, cleaned it a little and moved in.
Because to plant ginseng, it is inconvenient to plant in the ground when Lao Zhou sees the land, and he didn't think of this when he reserved two vacant land, although the two also live in the village, but they don't plan to dismiss Lao Zhou, in case Lao Zhou is dissatisfied, it is not good to damage the herbs in the ground, and Lao Zhou is doing a good job, and he goes to see it several times a day, and the two and Lao Zhou get along very well last year, and they are embarrassed to dismiss Lao Zhou.
Fortunately, there is a piece of self-reserved land in front of and behind the house of Xiao Wu's villa, Fang Huairan plans to plant ginseng in the open space in front of the house, and plant herbs for Zhou Tong's alchemy behind the house, because the open space in front of the house is next to the mountain, few people pass by, and the ginseng is not afraid of being discovered.
After Zhou Tong came to live, the sadness of Zhou's mother's death completely recovered, and Fang Huairan began to plant ginseng, applying a small spirit gathering rune array and a small cloud and rain talisman to ginseng every other week, and spent the rest of the time in cultivation and talisman making.
Zhou Tong also planted the herbs he needed for alchemy in the yard, and every day in addition to cultivation, he studied alchemy, and occasionally the two of them walked around the mountains together to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the mountains.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye, Fang Huairan has been able to skillfully make small fireball talismans, these talismans refined by Fang Huairan are very quick to learn, and the success rate is basically 100%, at first Fang Huairan thought that the talisman was simple, and what he refined was a talisman that was not even a low-level talisman.
It wasn't until he later entered the real cultivation realm and began to refine low-level talismans that he knew that he had a little talent in talisman making, although the success rate of ordinary qualified people refining talismans was also 100%, but he didn't learn as fast as him, which probably had something to do with his engineering background, good spatial thinking, and the three views looked effortless.
Zhou Tong also thoroughly studied the simplest of the several Dan recipes he brought, saying that this Dan is the simplest because this Dan is not strict about the heat and the time of opening the furnace, which is suitable for people like Zhou Tong who have no experience at all to practice alchemy.
The herbs used in Zhuyan Dan are also common, but the year requirements are relatively high, and they are often thousands of copies, and it is extremely difficult for modern society to find a thousand-year-old elixir.
Zhou Tong also doesn't hope to be able to refine a complete version of the Zhuyan Pill, each raw material is replaced with the same herb for several years, and it is estimated that the final refining of the Dan will have the effect of nourishing the skin, but don't even think about it.
Unless the two of them are willing to give up the spirit runes, spirit stones and raw materials, and cooperate with the spirit gathering array to use secret techniques to ripen raw materials, forcibly improve the year of the elixir, and improve the medicinal properties, although this kind of secret technique is known to Fang Huairan, but at least it must be performed by a monk in the transformation period, because only by transforming the gods, can the aura of heaven and earth be initially communicated, and the aura of heaven and earth can be infused into the elixir to improve the medicinal properties, but the failure rate is extremely high, and it is a fluke that hundreds of elixirs can succeed.
Zhou Tong believes that even if the effect of the anti-Yan Pill is not increased, it should be better than the common beauty drugs on the market, the two of them practice the top exercises, which have the effect of delaying the aging of the face, if it is combined with the simple version of the anti-Yan Dan, it should be able to achieve the effect of rejuvenation, thinking that he can stay forever young, Zhou Tong feels that he is full of alchemy power.
Fang Huairan took a closer look at Zhou Tong in detail, and found that Zhou Tong was also in his early twenties, not at all like his actual age of twenty-four, and asked Zhou Tong for a small mirror to observe himself, and found that he was also in his early twenties.
Tell Zhou Tong about this discovery, Zhou Tong thought for a while, and guessed that it might be the reason for the cultivation of the two, men and women will no longer develop when they are about twenty years old, and the exercises they practice can maintain people's vitality to the best state, so both of them still maintain the appearance of being in their early twenties, and when they are seventy or eighty years old in the future, they will look estimated to be middle-aged.
Analyzing this result, Zhou Tong was even more looking forward to the simple Zhuyan Dan, urging Fang Huairan to immediately cooperate with her to start alchemy, Fang Huairan looked at Zhou Tong dotingly, shook his head helplessly, and agreed to act as a humanoid lighter.
The two returned to the villa, went straight up to the third floor, and came to a south-facing room, opposite the room is the mountain, and they are not afraid of being discovered, draw the curtains and lock the door, Zhou Tong took out the bronze Xiaoding, and played a levitation technique on his body, so that he was suspended in the middle of the room out of thin air.
Fang Huairan sacrificed a small fireball charm to control the fireball to burn under the ding, and Zhou Tong controlled the small ding to rotate slowly, preheating the small ding, waiting for the small ding to warm up, Zhou Tong was a little more in the air, controlling the tripod cover to fly, revealing the mouth of the ding, although the two were far apart, they could still feel the high temperature emitted in the ding.
Zhou Tong took out seven or eight vials from the cabinet in the corner, the bottles contained the medicinal powder that had been ground before, and they all twisted the lid of the vial according to the amount required by the unilateral side, Zhou Tong controlled the vial to fly slowly above Xiaoding, and poured the medicinal powder into Xiaoding.
Control the empty bottle to fly to the bottom of the wall on the other side, and unscrew the second vial, repeating the same action, when all the medicinal materials are poured into the tripod, Zhou Tong controls the lid of the tripod to fly back, and after fastening it tightly, driving the small tripod to rotate slowly.
Fang Huairan saw that the lid of the tripod was fastened, and immediately sacrificed a small fireball talisman to drive the two fireballs to heat the small tripod one on the left and one on the right.
Half an hour later, Xiao Dingzhong began to exude a hint of medicinal fragrance, and the smell of it was refreshing, Fang Huairan looked at Zhou Tong, who was a little nervous, and asked, "How is it, it's almost?"
Zhou Tong stared at Xiao Ding tightly, and replied without replying: "It shouldn't be time yet, wait a little longer." Can you hold on to your mana?"
"It's okay, the mana of the tenth layer of qi refining is still very sufficient, I'm worried about you, you just arrived at the ninth layer of qi refining, no problem, right?"
"I'm fine, shhh, don't distract me!" Zhou Tong said intently.
Time passed little by little, and the medicinal fragrance in Xiao Ding became more and more intense, no need for Zhou Tong to say, Fang Huairan also knew that it was almost time to reach the Ning Dan step, so he hurriedly took out two small fireball talismans, ready to sacrifice them at any time.
For this step of Ning Dan, the alchemist can't interfere, the alchemist mainly controls the opening time, just when Zhou Tong was eager to try to open the furnace, there was a muffled sound in the ding, Zhou Tong was shocked, and hurriedly opened the lid of the small ding with a move with his hand, Fang Huairan also heard this muffled popping sound, and saw Zhou Tong open the lid of the ding, and immediately extinguished the two fireballs.
Zhou Tong controlled Xiao Ding to fly back, floating on the chests of the two, and looked down to check the situation in the Ding, and sure enough, there was no Ning Dan success, and there were only a few pieces of light green solid that were shattered in the Ding.
Fang Huairan saw a trace of disappointment on Zhou Tong's face, and hurriedly comforted him softly: "It's okay, I failed many times to succeed in making talismans, and spontaneously combusted before I finished drawing the talisman paper when I made talismans for the first time, which scared me." ”
Zhou Tong looked at the waste pill, shook his head, thought about it in his heart, regained his spirits, raised his head and asked, "Do you still have enough mana?" I want to try again, just now I thought about what the problem was. ”
Fang Huairan nodded and said that his mana was fine, Zhou Tong poured out the waste pill in the bronze tripod, and the two of them sat cross-legged on the floor to recover their mana, until the temperature of the bronze tripod cooled down, Zhou Tong took out seven or eight more vials, and poured the medicinal powder in the vials into the tripod one by one, Fang Huairan immediately sacrificed two small fireball talismans to heat up the small ding, and the two began to refine the pill again
The same powder, the same steps, but unfortunately, this time it still failed in the step of Ning Dan.
This time, Zhou Tong had nothing unusual on his face, poured out the waste pill, and meditated to recover his mana while waiting for Xiao Ding to cool down, and at the same time couldn't help but think about what went wrong, and when his state was adjusted, he greeted Fang Huairan and silently started a new round of alchemy.
The time soon came to August, and this year's Olympic Games were held in Yanjing, Fang Huairan and Zhou Tong had already bought Olympic tickets for tennis, track and field and football.
In mid-September, Fang Huairan hired someone to collect the honeysuckle and schisandra planted in the field, and Zhou Tong's uncle sent a car to collect it, this year's honeysuckle and schisandra planting density was twice as high as last year, and last year was the first time to plant, Fang Huairan did not have much confidence in the Gathering Spirit Array, so he followed the advice of the hired planters, and the planting was relatively sparse.
When planting this year, Fang Huairan forcibly asked the people who planted the seedlings to plant intensively according to last year's experience, and as a result, the small gathering spirit array really lived up to its reputation, even if the density was doubled, the quality of the herbs was still not lower than last year's quality, of course, this was also related to Fang Huairan's increase in the strength of the rune array.
As for ginseng, Fang Huairan's method is also very effective, the ginseng that was only half the thickness of chopsticks at the beginning, after about half a year of cultivation, has reached the thickness of a little finger, Fang Huairan plans to cultivate it for another year, so that it can reach the thickness of a thumb, and it can also be sold at a good price, of course, it can also be cultivated thicker, but it is easy to arouse the suspicion of buyers, after all, Fang Huairan's method cannot be shown, and making a fortune is the last word.
Zhou Tong's Zhuyan Dan refining still did not improve, and later because Fang Huairan was still busy refining the Xiaoyunyu Fu and the Xiaoju Spirit Rune, he couldn't match He Zhoutong who had been trying to refine, Zhou Tong was able to refine two furnaces a day, and now he could condense the Dan, but the furnace opening time still couldn't be accurately grasped.
Zhou Tong thought that he was a little less feeling, and the two planned to return to Yanjing this winter and practice at home for a winter, Zhou Tong felt that as long as he refined for a while and found that kind of inspiration, he would be able to refine the Zhuyan Pill.
