ps: Today's third shift, at the end of the month, a monthly pass is needed, please support a lot, thank you.

Facts proved that Qi Xiang's inference was correct, and the next morning, Jun Bucheng brought enough manpower and went out in a hurry, and did not come back until noon.

Different from the high spirits in the morning, Jun and the others, who came back again, looked a little depressed.

As soon as Qi Xiang saw it, he knew that they were not in a good position, but he had no intention of asking.

However, Jun did not hide it, and took the initiative to say: "Master, you are right. The guy was cunning, wasn't in the cave at all, and probably had already returned to the city. ”

"It's good to go back to the city." Qi Xiang smiled: "In this way, it won't disturb our actions." ”

"Hmmm......"

Jun Buyi nodded slightly, but his eyes flashed.

In fact, there is another possibility, he didn't mention it, but everyone knows it very well in their hearts. The otaku may not have returned to the city, but hid among the mountains and forests, waiting for an opportunity.

If that's the case, whether he has malicious intent or not, it's a nuisance.

That's why Jun didn't take any pains to kill the otaku or drive him away. However, judging from the current situation, it is still unknown whether this wish can be realized.

"Leave him alone."

At the right time, Qi Xiang waved his hand and said: "The medicinal materials in the Dan furnace have almost cooled, and after waiting for them to settle for half a day, you can officially refine the Dan at night." ”

"Alchemy at night?" Jun was stunned for a moment: "Not during the day?" ”

"During the day, the sun is hot, which has some effect." Qi Xiang explained: "When it is night, the light of the moon is soft, consistent with the medicinal properties of the elixir, and maybe there is a bonus effect, which is very suitable for alchemy." ”

Jun lived up to his sudden realization, and then said embarrassedly: "Master, it's me who is too talkative." I don't understand this, you can just take the idea, you don't need to explain it to me. ”

"It's okay, to be honest, I'm also in the groping stage." Qi Xiang was approachable and told the truth: "The steps of alchemy are just that. But more often than not, it's also about luck. ”

"Luck comes, how to refine, how to achieve. If you're not lucky. No matter how delicate the steps are, there will be accidents. ”

Qi Xiang shook his head and said, "No matter how powerful the Dan Master is, he doesn't dare to ensure that every furnace of Dan he can refine successfully. Therefore, when refining the pill, you must have a trembling mentality, and you must be mentally prepared for failure. ”

“…… Forget it, don't talk about failure, lest you talk about it, it's really a failure. ”

Qi Xiang immediately changed the topic: "What about the two main medicines." Now you can take it out, deal with it in advance, and it can come in handy in the evening. ”

"Master, wait a minute, I'll get it." Jun did not live up to it and hurriedly walked out. Soon back. He held a sealed jar in his hand, which was cold spring water.

"Open it and take a look." Qi Xiang gestured.

Jun lived up to his kindness, first put down the jar and put it down, and then gently lifted the lid. Moment. A cold breath instantly diffused to the point that the tent was warm. It also cooled down a few degrees immediately.

Between the rich cold atmosphere, there is a faint hint of a very fresh aroma.

Qi Xiang's nose moved slightly, and he couldn't help but come over and look down. I saw that inside the pitch-black and shiny jar, it was the cold liquid of most of the jar. Above the liquid, a strange flower floated.

The strange flowers are gorgeous, with the mouth of a sea bowl as large, and the petals are clustered around the stamens and bloom, just like the sun ring. But what surprised Qi Xiang the most was that the most strange thing about this strange flower was the color of the flower.

Generally speaking, flowers in nature are white, yellow, pink, and green, and they are colorful and very normal. But like this strange flower right now, it's pure black, and it's a little weird.

The petals are pure black, the stamens are black, and they float in the jar, if it is not for the light in the tent, I am afraid that Qi Xiang will easily ignore the existence of this strange flower.

Of course, the crisp fragrance of the strange flower reminded him all the time that this flower was unusual.

"This is Tianshan Xuanlian?"

Qi Xiang watched for a moment, and suddenly sighed: "The name is well deserved." ”

Just smelling the aroma, he felt the qi and blood on his body surge, and his spirit was lifted. Just a wisp of aroma, there is such a strong medicinal property, so the whole plant, how precious it should be, you can imagine.

This Tianshan Xuanlian should be a variant of the Tianshan Snow Lotus. The molding conditions are very harsh, and the requirements for the environment are also very high, and millions of Tianshan Snow Lotus may not be able to produce a single Xuanlian.

I don't know, where did you find this treasure. Come to think of it, he didn't just find one, he had also tried alchemy before, and it cost at least two or three Xuan Lian.

When did such a rarity, like Chinese cabbage, come into existence? Qi Xiang was thoughtful, but did not ask and explore. After all, who doesn't have some secrets on him, this kind of thing, it's not good to ask too much. It's time to turn the other cheek.

"Master, this kind of quality is enough for alchemy, right?" You don't want to ask for advice.

"Enough, more than enough." Qi Xiang smiled in his eyes, and then advised: "Cover the jar and heat it." ”

"Heat?" Jun was dumbfounded: "How to heat it?" ”

"Make a stove, put the jar on the stove, raise the fire at the bottom, and boil slowly." Qi Xiang pointed out: "Boiled like medicine, stay up until the evening, it should be about the same." ”

"But......" Jun hesitated, "this is cold spring water......"

"When the cold spring water is heated, it can melt the Xuanlian." Qi Xiang said patiently: "Otherwise, do you think that if you directly throw the cold spring water and Xuanlian into the Dan furnace together, it will be over?" ”

"Got it!"

Jun was stunned and walked out.

As soon as he left, Qi Xiang muttered in a low voice: "Fortunately, in the treasury of the Northern Song Dynasty Palace, there is a tribute Xuanlian, and the people of Shui Yuesan have seen how others deal with it, otherwise if they ignore this step, they will definitely be finished." ”

The ancients often said that it is a medicine with three poisons, which refers to the medicinal materials that have not been treated.

A plant of medicine may be divided into roots, stems, leaves, whiskers, fruits, etc., and the medicinal properties of each part are biased. How to deal with and store it, there has always been a set of strict procedures, and it cannot be confused.

Tianshan Xuanlian is also like this. I already have the main medicine of Xuanlian, and I have to take cold spring water again. It's not that it's too much, but to melt the Xuanlian with cold spring water and refine its medicinal properties to the maximum.

Anyway, Jun obeyed the instructions, and after putting the jar on the stove and boiling, most of the hours passed, even if there was the cover of the altar, a strong aroma still came out of the altar, which attracted the attention of many people.

All of a sudden, many big men poked their heads out of the tent. Puzzled wait-and-see.

"What to see, do your own thing......"

Jun Shou shouted, and his head instantly retracted.

However, Jun Buyi was also a little uneasy, and immediately ordered: "A few of you, come out and strengthen patrols." Don't be like last time, like a piece of wood, and you don't know if someone touches it. ”

Hear this. Several big men bowed their heads in shame, and then dispersed one after another, strengthening their vigilance.

Luckily, everything is calm. In the blink of an eye, it was night.

Under the boiling of the low fire, the cold spring water in the altar also slowly boiled, and the fresh and strong attractive aroma. It was even more permeated in the air, making the big men passing by the patrol swallow saliva from time to time.

Jun Bu was just beside him to take care of the fire, and his mind was a little swaying. Resist temptation with great willpower.

After sunset, a bright moon hung silently in the sky. Qi Xiang finally walked over in the tent and shouted from afar, "You can withdraw the fire." ”

"Huh!" Jun Buyi seemed to be prepared, and with a flick of his palm, a puddle of mud and sand silently covered the faint charcoal fire, and before the charcoal fire was extinguished, he held the altar up.

"Flutter!"

As soon as the ashes were raised, the charcoal fire was extinguished, and green smoke rose in a curling manner.

"Master, is that okay?"

Jun lived up to the hot jar, but he didn't seem to feel any heat, and his face didn't change.

"That's it!"

Qi Xiang beckoned: "Let's talk about ...... when I go in."

The two returned to the tent, and Qi Xiang asked Jun to open the lid of the altar.

The moment the lid was lifted, a mist like a mushroom cloud poured out, rose in midair, and then condensed into the shape of a lotus flower, which was quite mysterious.

At first glance, both of them were slightly surprised, and then hurriedly looked at the bottom of the altar.

At this time, most of the cold spring water in the altar had almost evaporated, and the sun-wheeled Xuanlian had also completely melted. Inside the jar, only a shallow layer of liquid remained, clear and white as snow.

"Okay, that's ......"

Qi Xiang approved, and his throat couldn't help but move. As soon as he got closer, the thick fragrance in the altar came to his face, making him almost unable to hold it and wanting to eat it in one bite.

"Be calm, be calm."

Qi Xiang stabilized his mind, didn't touch the jar, and said directly: "Pour the liquid into the furnace." ”

“…… Good! ”

Jun hesitated, immediately walked to the stove with the jar in his hand, and carefully poured the snow-white liquid in the jar into it.

After a day of precipitation, the potion in the Dan furnace has completely cooled, and it is even a little cold. As soon as the warm snow-white liquid is poured in, it quickly dissolves, melts and disperses.

Seeing this situation, Jun Buyi was also a little surprised, but he didn't ask too much, and used the potion in the furnace to slightly clean the bottom of the lower altar, so that all the snow-white liquid was injected into the furnace, and then he closed the Dan furnace smoothly.

"That's it."

At the same time, Qi Xiang spoke: "I'm going to make alchemy, you stay outside and don't let people come in and disturb me." By the way, no matter what you hear for a while, you are not allowed to come in......"

"Understood!"

Jun lived up to his heart, and knew the taboo rules in this regard, so he immediately withdrew, first draped the curtain of the tent, and then fastened the buttons, so as to ensure that even mosquitoes could not get in.

Before he tied the curtain, he heard a sudden clanging sound in the tent, as if he was smashing something. The movement was not small, and it soon attracted the attention of the patrol men. They wanted to rush over to take a look, but they saw Jun with a cold face and a gesture asking them not to come.

"Continue to patrol and strengthen vigilance ......"

Jun Bu stretched out his hand, and the snow-white long sword was silently unsheathed, like a door god, firmly guarding the outside of the tent, not allowing anyone to approach half a step. (To be continued......)
