Chapter 44: The First Glimpse of Dan Dao
Every alchemy room here is made of an unknown stone, which can isolate the high temperature caused by alchemy, and even after entering the inside, Xu Hao feels a cold feeling that is not found outside, which is very comfortable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
To be honest, there are some things that this alchemy room is consistent with what Xu Hao thinks in his heart, but some are completely different.
The alchemy room is extremely empty, with rows of wooden shelves erected on the four walls, on which are placed all kinds of bottles and jars, and two rows of wooden shelves are densely packed with drawers, which seem to have the effect of isolating the aura, and there are generally some precious medicinal materials in it, or some strange things needed for alchemy.
In the center, a tall Dan furnace stood there, more than half a person tall, and a black hole could be seen under the Dan furnace.
Yan Danshi sat down on the futon behind the Dan furnace, pinched his fingers, and a flame suddenly appeared from the hole under the Dan furnace, and he slowly spoke: "This fire is the fire of the earth's leylines, which is drawn from the ground, and with the power of the formation, it is introduced into various alchemy rooms, which can be used by our alchemists at will." ”
Xu Hao stood aside and listened quietly, what Yan Danshi said may just be common sense, but for Xu Hao, it is the first time to see, see more, listen more and learn more, there is nothing wrong with it.
Regarding Xu Hao's attitude, Yan Danshi was quite satisfied, and said again: "Today I want to refine the Gathering Spirit Pill, you go to the second row of wooden shelves on the left, count the sixth row from the bottom to the top, and the twelfth drawer from the left to the right, open it, and take three black moon petals." ”
Xu Hao's heart froze, and he hurriedly walked over, and after finding the corresponding drawer and opening it according to Yan Danshi's words, he saw that there was a slightly dark blue spirit flower with crescent-shaped petals.
In fact, this spirit flower has a total of seven petals, each petal is almost the same, crystal like jade, like a handicraft carved out of a mold, but if Xu Hao really thinks so, then he seems too naïve.
Why choose only three of them?
These three petals can really be chosen at will?
Xu Hao smiled in his heart, and after carefully observing this black moon flower, he almost didn't hesitate, he had already found the three petals needed to refine the Gathering Spirit Pill, and carefully took them off with a small jade tong in the drawer, and placed them on the jade plate.
In the jade slip given to him by Master Yan Dan, there is a detailed description of this black moon flower, and it even includes some of Yan Danshi's experience summary of the black moon flower in the process of alchemy.
For example, it is mentioned that during the growth process, there are subtle differences in the internal structure of the seven petals, which leads to differences in the rain and dew, moonlight, and earth qi nourishment, and this seemingly insignificant difference often makes the alchemy process uneven and unable to match perfectly, if you don't pay attention, it is easy to fail in alchemy.
The medicinal power of the three petals chosen by Xu Hao was taken according to the proportion recorded by Yan Danshi in the jade slip.
Yan Danshi glanced at the three crystalline petals on the jade plate, nodded faintly, and said: "The second row of wooden frames, the third row from top to bottom, the first drawer, take a cut of the rhizome of the red blood vine." ”
His words were vague, and he only took a section of the rhizome, but did not say where the rhizome was taken, let alone specify how much this "piece" was.
If it were someone else, it might be hesitant.
However, this matter was difficult for Xu Hao, he almost kept all the details in mind, as soon as Yan Danshi said that he wanted to take the red blood vine, the relevant content had already appeared in his mind.
The rhizome of the red blood vine is generally about ten inches long, as thick as a baby's arm, and after removing the epidermis, the inside is round and smooth, like blood jade.
In the whole section of rhizomes, the medicinal power is naturally strong and weak, among which it is the strongest three or four inches away from the end, and it is the weakest area two inches up.
After the research of many Dan masters, the medicinal power contained in these two inches of red blood vine rhizome is the most uniform, and it can be used to refine medicine.
After that, there is the Winter Snake Spirit Grass.
This winter snake spirit grass can be used to refine the medicine part, is its leaf, this leaf because of the snake pattern, so it is called "spirit snake leaf"!
The spirit snake leaf is also particular about medicine, first of all, the length of the leaf should not exceed six inches, but if it is exceeded, it will not be available.
Secondly, if there are blue spots on the surface, it is not available!
This spot indicates that it is too cold, if you don't notice it, it will be mixed with other medicinal materials to refine together, which will inevitably cause an imbalance of yin and yang, and eventually a furnace of good pills will be completely scrapped.
Since then, the three main medicines for refining the Gathering Spirit Pill have all been gathered, and Master Yan Dan finally started to refine the pill, only to see him make a move with one hand, and the three black moon petals fell into his hand, which were instantly kneaded into a light red powder and fell into the Dan furnace.
Then he took the spirit snake leaf of the winter snake spirit grass, and also threw it into the Dan furnace, pinched the fire of the leyline, separated a small group of branch flames, wrapped the spirit snake leaf, and refined it into a cloud of turquoise transparent medicinal liquid, which was extremely gratifying.
After doing this, Yan Danshi temporarily stopped, closed his eyes, and let the two elixirs rise and fall in the flames.
Xu Hao was slightly surprised, but he remained silent, just watched carefully, and did not let go of every step.
Gradually, an hour passed.
In this hour, Xu Hao saw that the powder formed by the petals of the black moon flower was decreasing, and after some black substances were quenched, they fell into the ground fire and were burned to ashes, as for the powder, its color became deeper and darker, and slowly turned into dark red.
The same is true of the turquoise droplets, under the roasting of the earth's fire, there are constantly gray liquid dripping, and when it touches the furnace wall, there will be bursts of smoke, and if you smell it carefully, there is a fishy smell.
After the turquoise droplets are removed from impurities, they appear more and more green and clear!
At this time, Yan Danshi finally opened his eyes, and the seal in his hand changed, and the powder and the green droplets were merged into the rhizome of the red blood vine, and at the same time the rhizome was placed in the flame.
At this step, Yan Danshi was extremely cautious, and Xu Hao could clearly feel that the temperature of the leyline fire had been lowered a lot, and it was burning extremely gently.
Yan Danshi controlled the red-blooded vine rhizomes to roll up and down, left and right in the flames, so that every place was evenly calcined and quenched by the earth fire.
As it was calcined, a bloody breath evaporated from it, making people frown.
Xu Hao observed intently, for three hours in a row, his eyes never blinked, watching the stem keep condensing, but there was not even a trace of crack on the surface, it still looked smooth and round, and he couldn't help but secretly admire Yan Danshi's control.
When the third hour came, the medicine in the Dan furnace was only the size of a thumb, and Yan Danshi spoke again, calling out the same adjuvant medicine.
