Chapter 534: Old Turtle's Meditation Mantra
It seems that all this should have been explained by Yuan Huanshan in advance.
When he walked out of the hotel and got into the car, Zhou Xiaochuan reported to Yuan Huanshan the ordinary medicinal materials he needed to refine the ice crystal cold jade paste and the Tai Chi Yin Yang Pill. Although it was getting late at the moment, Yuan Huanshan still used the Yuan family's connections in Jingyi City to get a batch of high-quality ordinary medicinal materials for him.
The quality of these medicinal materials is much higher than that that can be bought in ordinary pharmacies.
The medicinal materials used to refine the ice crystal cold jade paste are mostly to clear heat and detoxify, invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis. The medicinal materials for refining Tai Chi Yin and Yang Dan are focused on nourishing yin and yang and regulating qi and blood.
Under the scorching of the high-temperature flames, the lid and feet of the mutton fat white jade of the Fox Ding Furnace gradually turned a brilliant red color. And the water in the Ding furnace was also completely boiling at this moment. Large bubbles kept rising and falling in the gurgling sound, accompanied by a vast mist emitted from the Ding furnace, so that the entire small factory was shrouded in a hazy artistic conception of smoke and rain.
Zhou Xiaochuan was not in the mood to appreciate any artistic conception and scenery at this time, after the water in the furnace was completely boiled, he put the Chinese medicinal materials needed to refine the ice crystal cold jade paste, such as borneol, realgar, rhubarb and other heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs, into the furnace one by one according to the corresponding amount.
In the blink of an eye, the originally clear water in the Ding furnace turned red and yellow.
The faint medicinal fragrance was also accompanied by the churning and gushing water vapor, which diffused out. Because of the addition of borneol realgar, there is a refreshing feeling in the fragrance of this medicine.
After the medicinal effects of the Chinese medicinal materials were thoroughly boiled, Zhou Xiaochuan began to put in the spiritual materials needed to refine the ice crystal cold jade paste. These spiritual materials are basically based on yin attributes.
But what Zhou Xiaochuan didn't expect was that the first time he refined the ice crystal cold jade paste, it ended in failure.
Looking at the decoction and medicine residue discarded in the Ding Ding furnace, Zhou Xiaochuan shook his head helplessly, and began to prepare for the second refining while instructing the children of the Yuan family to pour it out.
Refining the ice crystal cold jade paste again, Zhou Xiaochuan was much more serious and careful than the first time. But this result is still a failure.
Failing to refine medicine twice in a row, Zhou Xiaochuan really has never encountered it.
Prior to this, because of the mysterious energy and the Fox Ding Furnace, Zhou Xiaochuan's failure rate in refining medicine was quite low. Even if there is an occasional failure, it can be regained with a little adjustment, and I have never encountered such a continuous failure experience.
"What went wrong?"
When the children of the Yuan family were busy dumping the waste potion residue, Zhou Xiaochuan frowned, thinking about the problem anxiously.
There was no way for him not to be anxious, Xiao Hei was still waiting in the hotel for him to take the Ice Crystal Cold Jade Paste and Tai Chi Yin Yang Pill back to save his life.
After thinking about it, Zhou Xiaochuan still couldn't figure out the problem that led to the failure of refining medicine. As a last resort, he began to think about whether to put the ice crystal cold jade paste aside for the time being, and refine the Taiji Yin Yang Pill first.
But at this moment, a familiar voice sounded in his ears: "With your current state, even if you change to the Taiji Yin Yang Pill, you will also fail." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Zhou Xiaochuan lowered his head, looked at the old turtle who poked his head out of his trouser pocket, and frowned and asked.
The old turtle's expression was extremely serious at this moment, which was completely different from its previous obscene and obscene expression: "In refining medicine, in addition to mastering the methods, steps and heat, one's own state of mind is also a very important factor. Now that you are in a state of mind, no matter how precise the execution of the methods, steps, and heat is, the probability of failure is relatively high. If you want to succeed in refining medicine, you must adjust your state of mind and let it return to the state where your mind is like water. Only then will you be able to successfully refine the Ice Crystal Cold Jade Paste and Tai Chi Yin Yang Pill. ”…,
"I didn't expect you to know about alchemy." Zhou Xiaochuan was a little surprised.
The serious appearance that the old turtle had just created with great difficulty disappeared in a few seconds. I saw it raise its little head high, and boasted with a hippie smile: "Of course." You know, my former former former owner......"
"Stop." Zhou Xiaochuan interrupted it in time: "When you say this for the first time, I may still believe it." But by now, you've said this N times. If I still believe your words, it will really be a brain pump. ”
The old turtle laughed dryly, although his expression looked a little embarrassed, but a touch of cunning flashed in his eyes.
Zhou Xiaochuan didn't notice this, he smiled bitterly and sighed: "You're right. I'm really in a mess right now, and I want to go back to my previous state of being like water. But the problem is that Xiao Hei's scorched appearance has always been in my mind, and I can't calm down at all......"
Before Zhou Xiaochuan's words were finished, a scripture with a strange rhythm and a rather strange pronunciation came out of the old turtle's mouth: "Nan Wu, drink Luo Tana, Doluo Yeye." Nan Wu, Ah Yaye. Bharu Jiedi, Shimmering Bowl Roya......"
Zhou Xiaochuan suddenly felt that with the scriptures sung by the old turtle, his anxious, nervous and slightly flustered state of mind gradually calmed down.
"What scripture is the old turtle singing? It has such a mysterious effect that purifies people's hearts! Zhou Xiaochuan was very surprised, but he didn't ask, because he was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would disturb the old turtle chanting scriptures.
In the sound of the old turtle chanting scriptures, Zhou Xiaochuan simply sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and used the power of this scripture to restore his state of mind to a state of stagnant water.
Zhou Xiaochuan, who didn't know about Buddhist scriptures, naturally wouldn't know that what the old turtle was reciting at this time was a meditation mantra that had the effect of clearing the heart and calming the mind.
Seeing Zhou Xiaochuan suddenly sitting cross-legged on the ground, Yuan Huanshan, Zong Lei and others were a little confused. But they were also smart, they didn't come forward to disturb Zhou Xiaochuan, and after making preparations for refining the medicine, they quietly retreated to the side and stood aside.
Half an hour later, Zhou Xiaochuan finally opened his eyes.
At this moment, his mental state was different from before.
If it is said that his eyes were very cloudy before, full of all kinds of negative emotions. Now, his eyes were as clear as the mountain streams.
Because his heart has been completely calmed.
The meditation mantra recited by the old turtle was indeed extraordinary.
"Thank you."
After thanking the old turtle, Zhou Xiaochuan walked to the front of the Fox Ding Furnace and began refining the ice crystal cold jade paste for the third time.
As the old turtle said, when Zhou Xiaochuan's state of mind returned to a state where his heart was like water, the success rate of his refining medicine returned to normal.
The third time I refined the Ice Crystal Cold Jade Paste, I finally succeeded!
After uncovering the lid of the white jade furnace of the Fox Ding Furnace, taking out the piece of ice crystal cold jade paste that was as blue as a sapphire inside, and putting it into the porcelain bottle that Yuan Huanshan had prepared for him earlier, Zhou Xiaochuan breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that after this incident, his alchemy had reached a new level.
In a sense, it's all thanks to the old tortoise.
Looking down at the old turtle who had already crawled out of his trouser pocket and was lying on the sidelines from a distance, although Zhou Xiaochuan did not speak, his eyes were full of gratitude.
..., this time, it's really thanks to the presence of the old turtle.
I really didn't expect that the old turtle, who has no proper shape with a hippie smile on weekdays, played a vital role in this incident.
At the same time, Zhou Xiaochuan also had more speculations and doubts about the old turtle's identity.
However, he knew very well that now was not the time to study the origin of the old turtle's body. Because there is still a Tai Chi Yin Yang Pill, waiting for him to refine it.
The refining process of Tai Chi Yin Yang Pill was much smoother than that of Ice Crystal Cold Jade Paste, and it was not successful after only refining it once.
After uncovering the lid of the Fox Ding Furnace, Zhou Xiaochuan's eyes were met by twelve pills that exuded the smell of morning dew. This Tai Chi Yin Yang Dan is really like its name, the color is black and white, and it looks like a Tai Chi Yin and Yang diagram. And the aura contained in it is also a harmony of yin and yang, presenting a harmonious scene of you and me, and I and you.
After packing the twelve Taiji Yin Yang Pills in a small porcelain bottle, Zhou Xiaochuan was in a hurry to return to the hotel.
The reason why he didn't refine an extra batch of Ice Crystal Cold Jade Paste and Taiji Yin Yang Pill at this time was because he was worried that if the time dragged on for too long, it would make Xiao Hei's situation worse, and on the other hand, he felt that whether it was an ointment or a pill, freshly refined ones were better than stock.
The latter aspect, of course, is purely psychological.
Because, no matter how long the elixir is stored using spiritual materials, its medicinal effect and aura will not weaken, and there is no such thing as expiration date.
Zhou Xiaochuan estimated that the Ice Crystal Cold Jade Paste and Tai Chi Yin Yang Pill refined this time could be used for ten days and eight days. Even if you come back in a few days to refine new ointments and pills, it will be completely too late.
At this moment, the high temperature on the Fox Ding Furnace has not yet dissipated, and even if the children of the Yuan family want to help Zhou Xiaochuan carry the Fox Ding Furnace into the van, they can't do it. Only Zhou Xiaochuan relied on the protection of mysterious energy to be able to touch the hot furnace wall with his bare hands without fear of being burned.
It is also strange to say that when Zhou Xiaochuan's hand came into contact with the Foxy Ding Furnace, the mysterious energy in his body resonated with the aura in the Fox Furnace. And the result of this resonance is to let the hot heat of the furnace cool down quickly.
Therefore, when Zhou Xiaochuan picked up the Fox Ding Furnace into the van and lay it down sideways, its temperature had already returned to a normal level.
Fortunately, otherwise the temperature in this van would have been unbearably high, and it was not impossible for the van to spontaneously combust.
(Thank you all for your continued support!) Little five, thank you! )。 )
