Chapter 443: Alchemy Prescription
Under Shi Zhong's expectant eyes, Yichen went and returned, and came with a brocade box in his hand, and he knew how many years no one had touched this brocade box by looking at the dust on it.
Yichen sat on the stone bench, carefully wiped off the dust, then took out a key, opened the rusty lock, and finally the whole brocade box was turned open, and a few animal skins lay quietly inside, exquisitely made, but it was not their level of production that attracted the stone clocks, but the dense font on them.
Yichenzi took out a few animal skins, a total of three, and said with some remembrance: "These are the treasures of the master, but it is a pity that his old man left regrets when he went to Linxian, and regretted that he did not find the successor of alchemy. ”
Shi Zhong said with a straight face: "Senior brother, don't worry, I will definitely devote myself to studying alchemy." After taking the prescription, Shi Zhong looked at it excitedly, but he was stunned, Ya, what kind of font is this, three prescriptions and three fonts, the top layer of Shi Zhong is known, traditional Chinese characters, and a seal script below? And what about the bottom one? Ghost Drawing?
looked at Yichenzi suspiciously, and Yichenzi smiled bitterly: "It should be an inscription, Lao Dao has no research on these, but you can ask Dakong that bald donkey, he is most obsessed with these and has studied these quite a bit." ”
So, Shi Zhong went to find the Dakong Zen Master, who was very interested in Shi Zhong's prescription, and studied the Sanzhang prescription carefully, and sat on the side, not caring that the Taoist prescription was studied by a Buddhist family. He touched the white beard of his chin. With a smile on his face.
"Shizun, this animal skin is indeed a seal script, but the content written in it is a bit messy, I need to sort it out before I can translate it for you." Big Sky Slow Road.
"Don't be in a hurry, it's better to sort it out!" Shi Zhongdao, if this prescription is wrong, it is not a joke, it is obviously able to refine the peerless elixir and make people become immortals, but unexpectedly, they are short of medicinal materials, but they suddenly become demons.
Half an hour later. The two pieces of rice paper in front of Dakong were already densely filled with brush words, Dakong put away the brush, blew on the rice paper, and said, "It's done." "Then he looked at Yichenzi." Yichen Lao Dao, are you sure that these prescriptions are perfect, and the poor monk heard that the head of the Empty Xuan Dao of Zhengyi blew up the furnace because of the wrong heat and prescription when he was refining the pill, and he immediately turned his head in a different place. ”
"Hmph, where can Kong Xuanzi be compared with my Sanqingguan, these prescriptions are the result of a lifetime of painstaking search and trial and error by the patriarch of the poor Dao, how can you be slandered here, I want to find your fighting method!" Yichen blew his beard and stared, as if Dakong was his uncommon enemy, and he was like this now. Where there is still the slightest demeanor of a monk, the six roots are not pure.
"Amitabha, good, good!" Dakong smiled slightly, clasped his palms and chanted Buddha.
"Hmph, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Yichenzi's mouth is like this, but there is still a flame burning in his eyes.
Shi Zhong was unaffected and took three pieces of rice paper with prescriptions written on them to study carefully, which paid attention to the medicinal materials and steps needed for alchemy, as well as the things that should be paid attention to, for example, when refining the chalcedony muscle and bone pill, the main medicine dragon beard grass and the ice spirit crystal are in conflict, and the ice spirit crystal should be turned into the ground medicinal material powder by furnace fire. The dragon beard grass must be put into the Dan furnace last, this is the experience of the Sanqingguan patriarch in the lesson of hundreds of failures, fortunately, although these medicinal materials are precious at that time, as long as you bother, you can still find them in some famous mountains and rivers or deep mountains and old forests. But now, what is Dragon's Whisker Grass? What is Ice Spirit Crystal?
If this order is violated. Hehe, I'm sorry, then this furnace of pills is going to be scrapped, everything is in vain, there is no way to refine the pills, and even if you happen to grasp the heat wrongly, it is possible to fry the furnace, which is very serious, when refining the pill, some chemicals will be added to the Dan furnace to increase the temperature of the furnace fire, if this is stained on the body, basically not saved. …,
In fact, the most difficult thing in alchemy is the control of the heat, which is too important, from the beginning of the refining of medicinal materials, fusion, and becoming a pill, it is seen as only three steps, but these three steps are scattered, and it is cumbersome for those who learn accounting to blow up their heads, and beginners can't even pass the level of refining medicinal materials.
For the control of the fire, there is no trick to this, just like high school math problems, only the sea of tactics, more practice, then only the unspeakable mystery can be understood in the heart.
Keeping in mind the medicinal materials needed for the three pills, Shi Zhong put away the rice paper and the three animal skin prescriptions, and said to Yichenzi: "Senior brother, it seems that the herbs mentioned above can't be found now, right?" ”
Yichenzi stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "If you say this to other monks, they will naturally nod their heads in disapproval, but in front of the senior brother."
Yichenzi pretended to be forced to make trouble again, and Shi Zhong said: "Could it be that Senior Brother has any good ideas?" Or is it in stock? Thinking of this, Shi Zhong's eyes lit up, and he was afraid that the medicinal materials needed would be extinct, so it would be useless to hold the prescription himself, so he could only stare dryly.
Yichenzi smiled and said: "At the beginning, the ancestor had the foresight to leave the "Medicinal Materials Notes", which was full of names and samples of medicinal materials, and had set up rules, and the descendants of the Sanqing Taoist Temple must always remember the importance of the pills throughout their lives, and they need to try their best to obtain the herbs mentioned in the "Medicinal Materials Notes", for more than a thousand years, although each generation will open a furnace to refine one or two furnaces of pills, there is some loss, but in general, a lot of medicinal materials are still preserved, just"
"Just what?" Shi Zhong said excitedly, these medicinal materials may only be used once for others, but they have life energy, so as long as they put a long line and plant all those medicinal materials, when the time comes, they will definitely have a bumper harvest and have endless medicinal materials.
"It's just that when the master spent a lot of inventory in order to refine the chalcedony muscle and bone pill, some of them were even lonely, and now it is estimated that the inventory is not much, which is why Poor Dao has not opened the furnace for alchemy!" Yichenzi sighed a little and said, the old man of the master has spent a lifetime of hard work for the success of his junior brother.
Shi Zhong was a little pity, and hurriedly asked, "Then how much inventory is there?" ”
Yichenzi smiled slightly, and said to Dakong: "Old bald donkey, this matter involves the secrets of this sect, so it's better for you to avoid it." ”
Dakong said: "Shizun, the poor monk has retired!" ”
After Dakong left, Yichenzi said, "Senior brother, please come with the old man." After speaking, he walked through the fan-shaped door first, and Shi Zhong followed.
Yichenzi came to a meditation room with a stone bell, and then bowed to the statue of the patriarch in the main hall, and then took down the statue of the patriarch, knocked on the wall three times, making a hollow sound, it turned out that the wall behind the statue of the patriarch was empty, and there was a dark grid.
Sure enough, Yichenzi pressed a button, and a stone grid appeared on the wall, and then he took out a brocade box the size of his head.
Yichenzi put the brocade box on the table like a baby, and said while unlocking the lock: "Originally, our inventory was dozens of times that of here, but the master used a lot of it to refine the pill, and only these were left, but at that time, the master was quite wise, and some precious medicinal materials were left behind, and there was no extinction." ”
"Click", the brocade box opened, and there were more than a dozen grids poking out of it, each of which was placed with a flavor of medicinal materials, and after looking around, Shi Zhong suddenly found that he only recognized one of the more than a dozen flavors of medicinal materials, and the bottom of the grid should be ginseng, just a thin stem.
Seeing Shi Zhong's attention, Yichenzi smiled slightly, picked up the stem that was less than the thickness of his little thumb, and said, "This is the stem on the thousand-year-old ginseng, but unfortunately it has been used for hundreds of years." ”…,
Millennial ginseng?
Shi Zhong is a little staggered, if this is placed now, it is definitely worth tens of millions, and it is still priceless, if it is auctioned, those billionaires are definitely willing to pay hundreds of millions to buy this kind of treasure, this is definitely a spiritual object that prolongs life.
"And what about these?" Shi Zhong pointed to several other medicinal herbs, some of which were shriveled and shriveled like a dead leaf.
"These medicinal materials are estimated to be difficult to find in this world now, this one that looks like a thorn root is yellow thorn, as for the use, well, you just look at the prescription, I remember that the refining of the chalcedony muscle bone pill seems to need yellow thorn, today Lao Dao will hand over all these stocks to you, I hope you will work hard and make achievements on the way to alchemy!" Yichenzi said with a smile.
"When you say this, where do I still have the heart to refine the pill, you said that the precious medicinal materials in this world are extinct, how can I refine the pill? Even if you take all of these, you can't refine a single pill! Shi Zhong smiled helplessly.
Yichenzi said, "Do you think that these medicinal materials are to be put in when you are refining the pill?" I'm going to ask what kind of elixir do you want to refine? Ordinary pills, there are one or two flavors in it, and the grade is enough to upgrade a grade, and these medicinal materials are definitely longer than you can imagine. ”
"Are there dragon's beard grass and ice spirit crystals there?" Shi Zhong asked, remembering that the prescription of the Chalcedony Bone Pill stated that these two flavors were the main medicine.
"Nope!"
"Then you said that the master used the medicinal materials in the old man's refining the Chalcedony Bone Pill, how could he not even have such a precious medicinal material as the main medicine?" Stone Bell Road.
"You are stupid, you are running out, and who said that the main medicine of the prescription must be the most precious, it can only be said to be the most important, not the most precious, if there is only one ginseng in this world, then, on the prescription of the chalcedony muscle and bone pill, ginseng is the most precious." A dusty road.
"Then where can I find the Dragon's Whisker Grass and the Ice Spirit Crystal?"
"How do I know?" A dusty road.
“”
Yichenzi saw that Shi Zhong's face was a little ugly, and thought for a while: "But don't worry, I will give you the "Medicinal Herb Notes" later, you can find it yourself, this world is so big, there will always be one or two plants, don't worry, senior brother will not pit you." ”
A black line appeared on Shi Zhong's forehead. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
