Chapter 118: Alchemy
Back in the medicine field, Fan Dandan learned that Ye Zi had actually entered the medicine building to be a medicine boy, and he was about to go crazy with envy.
"Ye'er! You're really shit lucky, you can also help me intercede, and I want to be a medicine boy too. Fan Dandan looked at Ye Zidao with blank eyes.
Ye Zi glared at her with an angry smile, "Why are you a medicine boy?" ”
"I—I'm diligent!"
"I ask you to read medicine books on weekdays, but you don't read them, and now you know that you are in a hurry? From today onwards, you will memorize ten herbs every night, and next year I will help you recommend them to other alchemists, how about it? ”
As soon as he heard that he had to memorize ten kinds of herbs every day, Fan Dandan's face immediately collapsed, "Don't you...... Ten? ”
With three herbs on her back, she was confused, her eyes were dizzy, and she memorized ten kinds every day, so it was better to kill her!
"Forget it, the medicine boy is nothing good. I heard that if the waste pill is refined, those alchemists will sprinkle their anger on the medicine boy, and they will either beat or scold, it is terrible to think about, I still don't want to go. Fan Dandan looked at Ye Zi with pity, and deliberately shuddered.
Ye Zi smiled and shook his head, no more words.
Not long after Ye Zi left the deacon hall, Tang Yan walked into the deacon hall alone, and then Xing Haodong quickly gathered several hall elders and went straight to the third courtyard.
After Xu Xiangqin finished inspecting the medicine field as usual, she quietly returned to her room, took out the Qiankun bag she had picked up in the morning, and carefully inspected it.
This is a dark brown Qiankun bag, the space inside is not large, but it is densely packed with herbs, roughly counted, there are more than 50 kinds, worth tens of thousands. Moreover, there are quite a few flying leaves.
Seeing the flying leaf grass, Xu Xiangqin's face changed slightly, as if she had noticed something. Before she could figure out what to do with this Qiankun bag, Tang Yan had already rushed into her room with Xing Haodong and the others.
Xu Xiangqin's face changed greatly, and she wanted to hide the Qiankun bag in a panic, but she was too panicked. In the end, the Qiankun bag fell to the ground with a clatter in front of everyone.
"Ah, what's wrong with Steward Xu? Panicked. ”
Tang Yan smiled at her maliciously.
Xu Xiangqin glanced at her coldly, and turned to look at Xing Haodong and several elders. Puzzled, he asked, "Why did Hall Master Xing and several elders suddenly rush into my room?" ”
Xing Haodong looked at Xu Xiangqin fixedly, and saw that she was furious in her heart, and then asked out loud: "Tang Yan reported that you were related to the theft of the pharmacy warehouse a year ago, what is your explanation?" ”
Xu Xiangqin's eyelids twitched, and his face turned pale instantly. Then he pointed at Tang Yan angrily and said, "She is talking nonsense!" It's a lie! ”
"She has proof." Xing Haodong replied calmly.
After Xing Haodong summoned them in a hurry, he just said that he was going to investigate the theft of the medicine building, but he did not make any other explanations, at this time they were full of doubts, but it was not good to ask in person, so they had to talk quietly in the back.
"W-What the hell is going on here?" The third elder asked the second elder.
"Oh, I don't know, I brought us here in a hurry, I don't even know what happened." The second elder shook his head suspiciously.
"Let's take a look first." The lobby elder spoke. The rest of the elders fell silent and waited for things to unfold.
When Xu Xiangqin heard the word evidence, her pupils shrank sharply, and she still said stiffly: "What evidence does she have?" ”
Tang Yan smiled, stepped forward and bent down to pick up the Qiankun bag at Xu Xiangqin's feet, but Xu Xiangqin pushed it away, and squeezed the Qiankun bag tightly in his hand first, and said coldly: "You are presumptuous!" This is my stuff. ”
Seeing this, Tang Yan smiled even brighter, "It's no wonder that Steward Xu is doing things. I saw that you didn't care about picking it up, and I just wanted to help you kindly, but I misunderstood you. ”
Xing Haodong quietly glanced at the Qiankun bag on Xu Xiangqin's waist, and then pointed to the one in her hand. "What's in there?" he asked. ”
"I, some of my old things, not very valuable." Xu Xiangqin said in a panic, and hastily stuffed it into his sleeve.
Xing Haodong's expression remained unchanged, "I just need to find some old things, can you lend me a look?" ”
Hearing this, Xu Xiangqin's face turned pale. stared at Xing Haodong in a daze, and the panic and panic in his eyes couldn't be concealed at all.
Several elders looked at each other silently, as if they understood something, and they all looked incredulous.
Tang Yan smiled heartily, "Steward Xu, are you afraid that Hall Master Xing will be greedy for your things, so you refuse to take them out?" ”
The old man in the lobby took two steps forward and assured Xu Xiangqin: "Steward Xu can rest assured, with me waiting here, Hall Master Xing will definitely not be greedy for any of your belongings." ”
Xing Haodong also said with a smile: "I just took a look, and I didn't have any other thoughts." ”
"I—I didn't mean that, I just ......"
"Hehe, is there any treasure in Steward Xu who doesn't want to be seen by us?" Without waiting for Xu Xiangqin to explain, Xing Haodong joked with a smile, but if you look carefully, you can find that his eyes are very sharp.
Xu Xiangqin, who was tightly shrouded by Xing Haodong's fierce eyes, shook her head with difficulty, and handed the Qiankun bag in her cuff to the other party with trepidation.
After Xing Haodong took it, he leaned into his spiritual sense to take a look, and then his face became very stern, "Sure enough, it's you!" When Tang Yan came to report that you were related to the pharmacy warehouse case, I didn't believe it, but I didn't expect it......
The lobby elder also grabbed the Qiankun bag in Xing Haodong's hand, looked at it carefully, and then glared at Xu Xiangqin with sharp eyes.
Several hall elders passed the Qiankun bag in the hall elder's hand one after another, and then turned their angry eyes on Xu Xiangqin.
Being looked at angrily by so many people, Xu Xiangqin only felt that the pressure was quite high, and the six gods who were flustered in her heart had no master, and she didn't know how to argue.
"No, that's right, this Qiankun bag is not mine, it's, it's what I picked up."
Tang Yan sneered with a mocking face: "Steward Xu is really good at laughing, just now you said that it was your thing, and I am not allowed to touch it, will this be again?" ”
"Shut up!" Xu Xiangqin yelled at her angrily, and then hurriedly explained to Xing Haodong and the others, "This is what I picked up on the road when I went to inspect the medicine field this morning. ”
At this time, her mind was a little clearer, and she knew that she must have been planted by someone, but she couldn't figure out who would use such a big trick to trap her.
The herbs in the Qiankun bag were roughly calculated, equivalent to the total harvest of the entire small medicine field for three months, and the value was tens of thousands of spirit stones, the entire Baicao Hall, she couldn't think of anyone who would have this ability and courage.
"A year ago. On the night of the theft of the pharmacy warehouse, I saw with my own eyes that you had contact with Feng Danshi, and he stuffed this Qiankun bag into your hand, and then you glared at me. You forgot? Tang Yan said with a smile.
"You're lying!" Xu Xiangqin shouted hurriedly, "I obviously only saw the pharmacist surnamed Ye that night, when did I see you?" ”
After saying that, she reacted instantly, but it was too late. The angry expressions on the faces of Xing Haodong and several elders already said it all.
On the same day, Xu Xiangqin was driven out of Baicaotang, and the batch of flying leaves found from her just solved the urgent need of Baicaotang.
Baicaodo breathed a sigh of relief, and so did the leaves.
She was not surprised by Xu Xiangqin's fate. Everything was expected by her. That's why she put the flying leaf grass in the Qiankun bag, which is not light.
The entire Baicao Hall was anxious about the matter of the Flying Leaf Grass, and she Xu Xiangqin actually hid so much Flying Leaf Grass privately, if Xing Haodong and the others didn't deal with Xu Xiangqin ruthlessly, how could they calm the anger in their hearts?
Again. If Xu Xiangqin is not disposed of, how can this batch of flying leaf grass be openly charged into the warehouse of the medicine building?
Everything was perfect, the people in the way were gone, and she successfully entered the medicine building as a medicine boy.
The next day, Ye Zi officially entered the medicine building. She has also been to the pharmacy in the past, but every time she goes around the counter on the first floor, registers and leaves, and has never been above the second floor.
The medicine building is built at the foot of Fengzhao Mountain, which is a south-facing and sunny medicine mountain, with plenty of sunshine. The air is dry, suitable for storing medicinal herbs.
The medicine building is a four-story stone building, and the second to fourth floors are Danfang, and there is no ground fire. Alchemists rely on the true fire or different fire in the body to carry out alchemy.
As soon as Ye Zi stepped into the hall of the Danfang on the second floor, he found that Yun Qi and several other alchemists were talking about something.
"If you use a garland flower instead of a Bodha flower, then when the first few flavors of the liquid are fused to 30%, the fire should be controlled to the size of a bean. Then quickly throw in the garment flower, wait for it to completely fuse with other medicinal liquids, and then adjust the fire to the size of a fist, let the medicinal temperature liquid completely boil within ten breaths, and then tend to normal fire, and continue to put medicinal herbs......"
After listening for a while, Ye Zi realized that they were discussing a new refining method for the Barrier Breaking Pill.
The barrier breaking pill can improve the success rate of foundation building, and the effect is doubled when used with the foundation building pill. But the refining of the barrier breaking pill is not easy, especially its main medicine Boling flower, which is very rare, if it can be replaced by Jialan flower, it is a very good method, although Jialanhua is also very delicate, but compared with Boling flower, it is much easier to plant.
By the time these alchemists had finished asking for advice and leaving one by one, half an hour had passed.
Yun Qi turned around and saw Ye Zi standing quietly behind him, and couldn't help but smile apologetically, "Have you waited for a long time?" ”
Ye Zi shook his head at him in understanding, "No." Listening to your discussions, I can also learn a lot. ”
Yun Qi was stunned when he heard this, then nodded with a smile, didn't say anything more, and turned around and went upstairs.
"You go with me to the Danfang first to familiarize yourself."
It may be due to the fact that Yun Zhenren's level is relatively high, so the treatment he receives is also different from that of other Dan masters. The entire four-story huge Dan room was only reserved for him.
Walking through the second floor, the third floor, and the fourth floor, Ye Zi found that the layout of each floor was actually the same. There is a hall in the middle, surrounded by separate alchemy rooms.
On the fourth floor, the original hall was used as an alchemy room, and the surrounding rooms that were originally Dan rooms were turned into utility rooms where he put books, materials, and herbs.
It took half a day for Ye Zi to memorize all the items placed in all the rooms on the entire fourth floor, and then he observed Yunqi's alchemy technique for half a day, and the day passed.
When I returned to my room in the evening, Fan Dandan was cultivating. She came to the corner of the room lightly, took out the black Hidden Dragon Pill Furnace, took out a few herbs, and practiced tirelessly according to the alchemy technique she had observed Yun Zhenren before.
Again, fail! Twice, fail! Three times and still failing.
Ye Zi closed his eyes, recalled the technique, rhythm, and rhythm of Yun Zhenren's alchemy again, exhaled lightly, and continued to practice.
This time, when the nine kinds of pills were perfectly fused together, and gurgling out a rich medicinal fragrance, Ye Zi hurriedly covered the furnace lid and gently wrapped the entire Dan furnace with spiritual energy, preventing the medicinal smell from continuing to volatilize.
Then she turned the flame up to the size of her thumb.
As time passed, Ye Zi tried his best to hold back the excitement in his heart, and concentrated all his energy on the medicinal liquid of the Dan Furnace.
After about a quarter of an hour, Ye Zi heard a faint sound starting to come from the Dan furnace, so he gently probed his spiritual sense into the Dan furnace to check.
A dark green liquid at the bottom of the furnace had turned into a thick paste, churning and rolling rhythmically.
In order not to be distracted, Ye Zi took his spiritual sense back, focused on using spiritual power to continue to wrap the entire Dan furnace, and closed his eyes, carefully sensing the subtle movements coming from the Dan furnace.
I don't know when, Fan Dandan walked behind the leaves, stared at the steaming Dan furnace with big eyes, and was so surprised that his mouth could stuff an egg.
After another half an hour, there was a slight "poof" sound in the Dan furnace, and the leaves hurriedly extinguished the flames and withdrew the aura. After a long exhale, he unveiled the Dan furnace.
I saw that at the bottom of the misty Dan furnace, four round, exuding a crystal luster and a rich Dan fragrance were lying quietly.
"Yikes! Elixir! Fan Dandan shouted excitedly, frightened Ye Zi and let go of his hand.
"Bang!"
The lid of the furnace fell to the ground, but fortunately, it was a Dan furnace lid made of refined iron, and even if it fell to the ground, it was not damaged in the slightest.
However, at this time, Ye Zi didn't care about being angry, she took out a jade bottle and quickly packed and sealed the four pills, before she grinned contentedly.
"Ye'er! You—You've become a pill pharmacist? (To be continued.) )
