Ask Yichenzi for alchemy, but unfortunately he doesn't know much about this old way, but it's okay, he knows a little bit of the basic principles, so he tries his best to teach Shi Zhong the alchemy knowledge he heard from his master. k update

A day later, Yichenzi left a sentence: "Senior brother, the great cause of alchemy only depends on you, and the old ways of reform have been taught, don't let your senior brother down!" Then he drifted away, leaving Shi Zhong alone in the back mountain to meditate.

Alchemy, alchemy, alchemy

For three days, Shi Zhong's mind was all about how to make alchemy and how to control the fire, but the so-called reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, and on the fourth day, Shi Zhong repented and realized that he should practice it himself, and only in practice will he make progress.

The first prescription for alchemy is needed, and now I have it, followed by the Dan furnace, there are ready-made ones in the Sanqing Taoist Temple, it is said that it is a cheap master of his old man's house, but the Dan furnace that refined the chalcedony muscles and bones Dan, people also have a face and a face Dan furnace, but it is a pity that it should have been baked more than a dozen grains, but because of the sudden change in the weather in the end, the fusion of the pill was almost destroyed, and finally although it was rescued by the master, but only got a chalcedony bone pill, otherwise, Pills like Chalcedony Bone Pill should be able to get anywhere from 11 to 19 pills, depending on the medication.

As for the fire, it is simply too simple, in the past, it was necessary to burn the fire and charcoal, so the fire was a little difficult to control, but now that the technology is so developed, we don't ask for anything else, just use the gas stove.

Although it is said to be a Taoist temple, it is in the 21st century. Where in this world will there be a lack of high-tech products, there is everything in the Taoist temple, and the gas stove that the Taoist priests usually cook was moved to the back mountain by Shi Zhong. Although those Taoist priests didn't know what Shi Zhong wanted to do, they had already been informed, and this was the level of Uncle Ancestor. Where do you dare to slack off, help carry it.

Everything was ready, looking at the Dan furnace on the gas stove, Shi Zhong smiled slightly, using the gas stove to refine the Dan, and he could figure it out for himself, Yichenzi stood in the distance, and shook his head. Said: "It is actually a wood that uses gas medicinal materials, so naturally you have to use the fire of the wood spirit, the fire of wood burning, but what kind of fire is this gas?" Can you do alchemy? ”

The stone bell didn't care, and looked at the structure of the Dan furnace, which was very peculiar, and there was no hollowing out at the bottom. Why does a flame appear in the furnace when the gas is turned up? Also, this teapot in the Dan furnace is like a thing, listening to the introduction of Senior Brother Yichenzi, it seems to be polished with a special rare stone. There is also a lid on it, is it used to hold pills?

I don't understand, I don't understand

Generally speaking, the internal structure of the Dan furnace is divided into two parts, the lower part is the heating furnace, so that the drug melts the reaction or sublimation, and the upper part is a closed container for drugs such as Shengdansha, and a tube will pass next to it, so that the mercury vapor evaporated in the container can flow into the condensation tank next to it, and then become Dan.

But obviously this Dan furnace is not an ordinary Dan furnace, it is not so complicated structure, it is very simple, and Shi Zhong does not plan to put the hardware, eight stones, three yellow and other raw materials that are usually required for alchemy, you must know that the refined ones are mostly arsenic, mercury and lead preparations, and eating them will poison people to death.

Shi Zhong shook his head, whatever, he only needs to follow the steps of alchemy, and he will know when the time comes, well, it is naturally impossible to use those precious medicinal materials for the first alchemy to open the box on the ground on the side, and there are more than a dozen of them filled with air-dried medicinal materials, and a strong smell of medicine comes to the nostrils, some are fragrant, some are smoky, and some are stinky.

Try your hand at these cheap guys!

These medicinal materials were bought by Shi Zhong in the pharmacy, this box is only one-tenth, and there are several boxes in his bedroom in the Taoist temple, all of which say that refining medicinal materials is the most difficult step, so he will use these medicinal materials to practice. …,

Glancing at the brocade box next to the big box, Shi Zhong picked it up, opened it, and a strange fragrance wafted into his nose, and Senior Brother Yichenzi said that this strange fragrance was emitted by a powder, which was sprinkled to protect the medicinal herbs from being eaten by insects.

"Let's go!"

The fire of the gas stove was started, fortunately, this Dan furnace was not very big, it was half a meter high, three feet were not long, the fire of the gas stove was just able to burn, only to see a faint blue flame rising from the Dan furnace, but most of the flames were still burning and heating at the bottom of the transparent stone pot, Shi Zhong looked into the Dan furnace, picked up a medicinal herb that I don't know what the name was, and threw it into the bowl in the Dan furnace.

"Whew!"

Before the medicinal herbs fell into the stone pot, they were burned into charcoal by the blue flame, helplessly, Shi Zhong had to turn off the gas, throw the medicinal materials into the stone pot, and then turn on the gas, and then Shi Zhong covered the Dan furnace, Shi Zhong took out a bag of powder, sprinkled it on the flame, and suddenly there was a loud sound, the flame was several times more than vigorous, and the temperature was much higher.

I don't know what this bag of powder stone clock is, and I handed it to me by the old man, saying that it is used to heat up, otherwise it will be difficult for the medicinal materials to melt.

Then I turned off the gas again, put in a lot of herbs, and continued to light the fire.

Half an hour later, the soaring flames burned more than once, and Shi Zhong felt that it was about the same, so he poured a little water into a small closed hole in the Dan furnace to speed up the fusion of the medicinal herbs.

An hour later, Shi Zhong had been quietly guarding the Dan furnace, adjusting the flame according to his own understanding, and when he felt that it was almost enough, he turned off the gas stove, the copper Dan furnace was already piping hot, and Shi Zhong did not dare to lift the lid.

After a while, he lifted the lid with a wooden stick, and suddenly a burst of fire came out of it, and he almost didn't smoke the stone bell, and the blazing temperature came to his face, and the stone bell had to be disfigured if he replaced others.

Jumping open the lid of the stone pot, there were indeed two pills lying inside, gray-brown, slightly oval in shape, and I don't know how this pill furnace did it, he didn't do it himself, how could he fuse the medicinal herbs into a round pill himself? But apparently this ball fusion is not very successful, it turns out to be an oval!

Shi Zhong didn't know, this is the mystery of the Dan furnace, using the stone pot inside the Dan furnace and the air flow formed by the blazing flame, coupled with the special design, it can naturally form a round pill after the sublimation of the medicinal materials, otherwise the ordinary alchemy will have to pinch the pill into a circle.

The two steps of alchemy are the most important, the first is naturally when refining medicinal materials, and the second is the moment when the liquid medicine is condensed.

Pinching two pills the size of a little thumb, is this a pill?

Put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed, a smell came to his nose, Shi Zhong hurriedly took the pill away, where is this pill, it is obviously a mixture of medicine powder that is fused together, but remembering that the medicinal materials he threw into the stone pot include a taste of Coptis chinensis, Shi Zhong also understood.

Such random alchemy is naturally very simple, there is no need to control the heat, the real alchemy, each flavor of medicinal materials in the refinement, the required temperature is different, this poses a challenge to the alchemist's mastery of the heat, even the alchemy master does not dare to say that his success rate in refining medicinal materials is 100%.
