Chapter 389: Second Alchemy

Xiahou has benefited a lot from Wangwu Mountain, and has obtained a lot of information about this world that has not been expressed, and although Zhao Gou gave him only a book of alchemy foundation, it was exactly what he needed, opening a new door for him and opening up a new road, which was far more useful than the few pills given by the people of Beiyanshan.

After he has thoroughly eaten the foundation of this alchemy, even if he does not have the Danfang of the people of Beiyanshan, with his vision and cultivation, he can create a better Danfang than the pill he refined before, but if he wants to create a pill like the elixir, it is not possible for the time being, even if he wants to really refine the elixir of the elixir, it still needs a lot of practice and accumulation.

After getting off Wangwu Mountain, he did not go from that mountain village, but directly flashed out of the entire mountain range and returned to Xianyang.

A foundation of alchemy is like having a textbook in learning, although it is still not as good as having a teacher to teach, but it has also benefited him a lot and solved many doubts, and he can't wait to return to Xianyang to verify it now.

Instantly returned to the Changming Palace, startled the maids who were cleaning, and greeted them with fear.

Xia Hou waved his hand and asked them to continue, turning around and walking into the alchemy room.

There were also people cleaning the alchemy room, and the alchemy furnace placed in the center was polished brightly, and Xiahou was wondering if they would come over to wipe it whenever they had time.

Driving the maids out, Xiahou was looking at his Dan furnace and shook his head.

According to the records on the basis of alchemy, his so-called Dan furnace is just an iron can, not even a medicine furnace.

The so-called medicine furnace is a Dan furnace made of iron, which can also refine some ordinary pills, and some elixirs that are useful to monks cannot be refined, last time Xiahou Zheng didn't understand anything, so it was just cast with fine iron, and many of the structures were not very reasonable, but they were in vain, and it was already great luck to be able to refine the pills, but if you want to refine a good pill, don't think about it.

Xiahou is taking out a piece of red copper, which has a spiritual aura on it, this is a spiritual object, and the things refined with such a thing can be stored for hundreds of years without damage.

This is what he found by chance when he was looking for someone in Wangwu Mountain, it is a large piece, although it is not enough to cast a Dan furnace, but as the main material, plus some other auxiliary materials are more than enough.

In fact, in the midst of the wind and clouds, those highest-end refining materials are also spiritual objects, but Xiahou Zheng has already consumed them and used them to cast the Chiyang Sword, so the materials for recasting the Dan furnace are still picked up today.

Xiahou was first smelting the original Dan furnace to extract the impurities inside, and finally left a large ball of refined iron.

He then took out a pile of gold coins and smelted them, resulting in a mass of pure gold, purple-gold.

Next is the piece of red copper, red copper is not a spiritual thing, it is more laborious than smelting the refined iron that has been cast into a Dan furnace.

Finally, according to the instructions on the basis of alchemy, Xiahou Zheng cast it into a one-meter-high Dan furnace, which was blue-gold as a whole, which looked much thicker than the previous Dan furnace, and also had a trace of spirituality.

In the end, there were still some fine iron, pure gold and red copper left, and the fine iron was made into a pile of small iron beads by Xiahou Zheng, and thrown in the corner at random, and the red copper and pure gold were combined to form a dagger, which was a little better than the sword given to the first emperor.

The dagger was just a whim, and was then thrown inside the space bag.

After finishing the Dan furnace, Xia Hou was putting all the small iron beads left before into the Dan furnace, grabbed the Dan furnace and shook it vigorously, until the inside of the Dan furnace was polished smoothly, and then stopped.

After finally cleaning and drying the Dan furnace, Xiahou was preparing for alchemy.

According to the basis of alchemy, after having a Dan furnace, you need a Dan fire, of course, the flame from the wood burning is also fine, but in this way, even if the Dan is refined, the medicinal effect must be reduced by at least half.

The Dan Huo can be controlled according to the monk's will, which not only increases the efficacy of the pill, but also greatly increases the success rate of the pill.

Xiahou Zheng naturally didn't need to worry about the problem of Danhuo, he knew that the flames in the sea were ready-made Danhuo, which could be controlled freely, which was a hundred times better than the Danhuo introduced in the book to let the elders who were advanced in cultivation take the fire of heaven and earth such as the fire of the earth or the fire of heavenly thunder into the dantian, and those Danhuo not only need to be cultivated from an early age, but also some are violent and difficult to control.

Of course, it is okay to have no Danhuo, and many people who have cultivated to a high level of alchemy use mana (the monks here call the power they cultivate mana, and Xiahou is entering the Tao with martial arts, and prefers to call it the internal force of true qi) to generate flames, but staying power is not good at all.

Everything is ready, Xiahou is starting to alchemy, this time he is refining the Dan Fang recorded on the basis of alchemy, it should be the Dan Fang collected by the second generation disciple of Wang Wushan himself, and the handwriting is very different from the alchemy foundation.

The elixir refined this time was more advanced than the first refining, and there were more materials, so it was naturally more difficult to refine.

However, Xiahou Zheng improved the Dan furnace, and had a deeper understanding of alchemy, refining it was not as difficult as imagined, but it was successful after a failure, and the next few furnaces of pills were getting better and better, just looking at the color and roundness of the pills, it could be seen that the entire hall was filled with the fragrance of pills.

Xiahou Zheng extinguished the flame and put away the last furnace of six pills, at present, Xiahou Zheng had placed four exquisite jade boxes beside him, each box contained ten pills, and he still had three left in his hand.

Picked up one and threw it into his mouth, chewed it up and swallowed it, Xiahou was hurriedly drinking water and rinsing his mouth, "It seems that this thing can only be swallowed directly." ”

Although the pill smells like a fragrance, and it is also fragrant and delicious when it falls into the mouth, but after chewing, there is a bitter taste, and the tongue is astringent and numb, which is completely inconsistent with the fragrance.

"I don't feel anything, this elixir has obviously been successfully refined, everything is consistent with the description on the bamboo slip. Xia Hou was feeling the movement of the elixir, but after the elixir dissolved, he didn't feel it obviously, just like eating and drinking water normally.

Thinking about it, Xiahou was patting his forehead, and finally remembered the introduction of the pill, "This pill can help ordinary people consolidate their foundation and cultivate the yuan, it is a necessary pill for disciples to enter cultivation and refine and refine qi." ”

Knowing what the problem was, Xiahou was about to find someone to test the medicine, as soon as he came out of the alchemy room, Gonggong Lu ran over in a hurry, "Childe, Your Majesty came to see you after learning that you came back, but when I saw that you were in alchemy, I didn't bother you, I have already gone back, you see ......"

"Oh, got it. Xiahou Zheng nodded, then took out a pill and handed it to Grandpa Lu, "You eat it and see how it feels." ”

After the first fright, Gonggong Lu knew that Xiahou was going to let him try the pill, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he trembled and picked up the pill and swallowed it with his eyes closed.

"How do you feel?" Xia Hou asked out loud when he saw that his eyes were tightly closed, and the expression on his face slowly changed to enjoyment.

"Back to Gongzi, I feel like there is a fire in my stomach, warm, very comfortable, and I feel that I can't finish it. Father-in-law Lu replied happily, I feel that my test medicine is not bad, the immortal must be a good thing, the next time the immortal asks me to test the medicine, I must be very willing and sincere.

Xiahou Zheng nodded, it seemed that the pill was undoubtedly successful, and then handed a few jade boxes to Gonggong Lu and asked him to send them over, "Send this to Your Majesty, the effect of this pill is to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the yuan, and nourish the body." ”

"No!" Father-in-law Lu respectfully took the jade box.

"Oh, wait a minute. Xiahou stopped him and handed him the last remaining pill, "This will be rewarded to you." ”

"Gongzi Xie!" Gonggong Lu knelt down excitedly, this is an elixir for His Majesty, I didn't expect him to get one, and when he was about to say some compliments, Xiahou was driving him out.

This alchemy was a little excited, but I didn't expect it to be two days and one night all at once, and Xiahou Zheng also felt a little tired, so he walked to his bedroom to rest.

Here, after the First Emperor got the pill, he immediately picked out a random pill and gave it to the little eunuch next to him to taste, and the imperial doctor was always asking him how he felt and rubbing his body.

"Your Majesty, this pill is indeed a divine object, it is beneficial and harmless to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty can take it with confidence. After the imperial doctor himself ate one and tried it, he said to the First Emperor with certainty: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, you can enjoy the country forever!"

"Good, good!" The First Emperor immediately swallowed one, feeling the effect of the pill, he was overjoyed, and then looked at the remaining thirty-seven pills and felt a heartache, this kind of good thing was actually eaten by them just now, and it was a terrible thing.
