Chapter 241: Alchemy
Backyard, everything is ready.
Cai Hongming did not start alchemy immediately, but sat cross-legged on the side to adjust his breathing, and waited until the essence was full and the spirit was full before starting.
Alchemy actually doesn't have any complicated techniques, at least Cai Hongming himself thinks so, and it feels similar to refining plasters by himself.
The alchemy furnace is a big one, half a person high, and it is a five-color copper furnace that he specially invited someone to order combined with modern technology, and the texture is extremely hard, not only can you see the situation inside from the outside, but also observe the temperature change at all times. This is a very important thing for alchemy. Opening the lid of the furnace, he poured in the spiritual spring water that had been taken out of the jade beads. The first step in alchemy is to boil the medicine, that is, to refine all the medicinal properties in the medicinal materials, just like the decoction of Chinese medicine.
The first step is the most critical, if you don't grasp it well, the refined pill will have poor medicinal efficacy, and it is more likely to be a useless waste pill.
After pouring the water, Cai Hongming lit the dried jujube wood stuffed under the Dan furnace.
Jujube wood is positive, and the Dragon Tiger Yuan Pill he wants to refine is also a positive elixir, so the alchemy of jujube wood has the effect of superimposing medicinal properties on the refined elixir.
After a while, the water boiled, and Cai Hongming poured the concocted medicinal materials into the Dan furnace and began to boil the medicine. When the water is almost dry, continue to add water, and so on three times, and the potion inside is already as black as ink. At this time, all the medicinal properties in the medicinal materials have been refined. Cai Hongming took out the medicine residue inside, and then put in the dragon tiger paste and jasper lingzhi powder.
Dragon and tiger paste is made of keel and tiger bones, a tiger bone boiled out of tiger paste is only ten catties, and a bucket of dragon bone powder can only be boiled out of one pound of dragon paste.
I don't know if it's been too long, because of the loss of medicinal properties of the keel powder that Cai Hongming dug up from the farm earlier, there is so little paste made from a bucket of keel powder.
As soon as the dragon tiger paste and jasper lingzhi powder entered the Dan furnace, they were instantly melted by the scorching medicinal liquid.
Cai Hongming hurriedly took out a long stick and stirred it into the furnace, stirring clockwise and counterclockwise, stirring the medicine waves inside. After a while, seeing that the dragon tiger paste and jasper lingzhi powder had been completely integrated into the medicinal liquid, he hurriedly took out the last medicinal herb, the high cliff soil honey from the Himalayas.
This is the honey harvested by Nepalese honey collectors in the Himalayan border country during the cold winter wax moon.
The honey is derived from the Himalayan native bees, which nest on the cliffs. If you want to collect honey, you have to hang a rope from the cliff face, which is very hard. However, the honey collected with such hard work is only sold for more than 100 yuan locally, but when it crosses the Himalayas to the western Xinjiang, it can be sold for more than 500 yuan, and in the interior it costs more than 1,000 yuan. Cai Hongming also asked his uncle Amberly to help him buy some, otherwise as long as these things enter the country, he is not afraid that no one will want them, and they are very popular, and he may not be able to buy them himself.
These honeys have been refined by Cai Hongming, the water is gone, leaving only the essence, from the outside of the bottle, the honey inside is red and purple, the honey is fragrant, very rare.
As soon as it enters the furnace, the honey melts and melts into the medicinal liquid. After a while, the liquid gradually became condensed, and a scent of medicine wafted out.
Cai Hongming hurriedly closed the Dan furnace to prevent the medicinal properties in the aroma from escaping. Then, he slapped the Dan furnace with his palm, and a dull sound like the sound of an urn followed.
The gradually condensed medicinal liquid in the Dan furnace began to rise and fall under his beating.
Cai Hongming kept patting until he was weak, and his hands became red because of the heat of the Dan furnace. He didn't care about that. Sit down, take a sip of purple gourd water to breathe, and continue to beat the Dan furnace again.
When beating, you must pay attention to not only one place, but also in various places, so that the liquid medicine inside can be evenly fused.
Don't use too much force when slapping, and if you use too much force, the Dan furnace will fall over. It can't be dead power, but dark energy. The energy is struck in the potion through the Dan furnace, so that the potion shakes back and forth, and then the medicinal power inside is more integrated, so that the condensed liquid medicine does not stick to the furnace wall, so as not to be scorched by the fire. That's why Cai Hongming wants to slap the Dan furnace.
After filming for about an hour or two, Cai Hongming saw that it was almost there, so he stopped and sat cross-legged on the ground to pranayama.
After a while, feeling that his mental strength had recovered, he hurriedly got up to look at the Dan furnace.
There is a mirror on the side of the Dan furnace, you can clearly see the situation inside, look inside, and see that the liquid medicine inside is gradually condensed into a paste. Now the heat is very critical, not too hurried and not too slow, so Cai Hongming stared closely and didn't dare to relax for a moment.
Chu Chu, who was watching Cai Hongming's alchemy upstairs, was already stunned, feeling as if his father was playing a game, looking so fun.
It seems that Cai Hongming does not let her stay in the backyard is very reasonable.
Shi Wan'er saw her husband's sweaty and tired appearance, and she was secretly distressed.
I don't know how long it took, the liquid medicine condensed the ointment, Cai Hongming hurriedly removed the excess firewood under the Dan furnace, leaving only some to slowly recuperate. At this time, the heat is very important, not too big, too big plaster will burn, then all the previous efforts will be wasted, can only be patiently warmed with a small fire, let it slowly condense. After a while, seeing that the plaster was almost condensed, Cai Hongming withdrew the firewood and let the residual temperature of the Dan furnace condense the plaster inside.
At this point, the alchemy is considered to be over, and you can take the Dan just by waiting for the heat of the Dan furnace to dissipate. At this time, Cai Hongming was already exhausted, so he fell asleep on the ground on the side.
Someone approached in the haze, feeling that it was his wife, so he didn't care, didn't even open his eyes, and continued to sleep.
I don't know how long it took, when I woke up, Cai Hongming found that there was a tent covering his head, a quilt on his body, and a pillow on his head, which seemed to be made by his wife yesterday.
At this time, he couldn't care about anything, so he hurriedly got up to look at the Dan furnace and touched it, although the Dan furnace still had a little residual temperature, it was already ready to start. I don't know what happened to the elixir inside? He was in a hurry, so he turned on the roof of the stove. In an instant, a stream of medicinal fragrance rushed out. Cai Hongming took a sip, only to feel a burst of restlessness in his body.
Oops, there are medicinal properties in the medicinal fragrance.
Cai Hongming hurriedly closed the Dan furnace, but it was too late, and all the birds that smelled the medicinal fragrance outside flew over here, hovering over the backyard constantly. The animals on the farm were also attracted to the medicinal fragrance and ran here, but they couldn't get in because they were blocked by the fence.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly picked up the Dan furnace and ran into the house, shouting as he ran: "Black and white." ”
The black and white pair who was originally warming up with his wife Xue'er heard it and immediately ran over.
"Get those birds away for me." Cai Hongming said to it.
When the black and white heard this, they walked to the backyard, stood in the courtyard and looked up at the birds, and suddenly raised their heads and roared. The roar shook the sky, and the frightened flock of birds fled as if they were deserted.
Many people think that black and white is a tame dog. In fact, its mother is a Tibetan mastiff, its father is a Tibetan mastiff, and its ancestors are also Tibetan mastiffs, and it is a Tibetan mastiff that can no longer be pure. When many people see its appearance, they think it is docile and honest, but they forget that it is a Tibetan mastiff. No matter how honest and pure its appearance is, its heart and body are still fierce Tibetan mastiffs. It's just that he usually only shows the gentleness and hides the ferocity. It's like "I have a tiger in my heart, but I smell a rose".
When the birds dispersed, the black and white shuangsha also left behind Cai Hongming.
Back in the house, Cai Hongming took the Dan furnace to the hall on the second floor and put it down, and then closed all the doors and windows, so as not to open the Dan furnace and attract a bunch of birds and beasts later.
"It smells so good! Daddy, what are you cooking, is it delicious? ”
As soon as he heard the voice, Cai Hongming knew that his baby daughter Chu Chu was coming, and Shi Wan'er was coming with her. In fact, there are people on the farm outside who see flocks of birds and animals gathered and care about what happened, otherwise why are there so many birds and so many animals? But they were all blocked by Shi Wan'er in the name of Cai Hongming cooking things in the backyard.
"This thing can't be eaten by children, you go away a little, be careful of being burned." Cai Hongming said.
"Oh."
Although he responded like this, Chu Chu was still standing beside him. Because she was too short to see the contents of the Dan furnace, she also went to move a chair over.
Cai Hongming can't do anything about her, as long as she doesn't touch the Dan furnace, it's up to her.
He didn't rush to open the Dan furnace, but washed his hands first, and then went to find some things containing the pills. In the end, I found five empty purple gourds and three black jade gourds, as well as two large white jade gourds and a small white jade gourd. He washed the gourds with spiritual spring water and dried them with vitality before opening the Dan furnace.
In an instant, a medicinal fragrance permeated, but it was not as strong as before.
"Mom, I'm a little dizzy."
Cai Hongming turned his head to look, and saw that Chu Chu's face was flushed, as if he was drunk, and his wife's face was also a little flushed. Only then did he realize that although the medicinal fragrance only had a little medicinal properties, it was not something that ordinary people could bear, not to mention that it was in a confined space in the house, so he hurriedly covered the Dan stove and asked his wife to take Chu Chu out to play.
After his wife left, he was still not at ease, so he took the Dan furnace to a vacant room on the third floor, closed the doors and windows, and then relieved himself.
When the Dan furnace was reopened, another aroma wafted out, but it was already very faint.
While the ointment condensed in the furnace was still hot, Cai Hongming hurriedly broke off the ointment piece by piece and rubbed it into a pill that could be put into the gourd. In the end, he loaded five purple gourds, three black jade gourds, and a small white jade gourd, and rubbed his hands so sore.
It is also not known how effective the medicine is.
Cai Hongming couldn't help but look at the black and white double sha and Huahua outside the door.
The two guys didn't know when they came, and they were there when he opened the door to breathe. Seeing Cai Hongming looking over, Huahua immediately turned her head and pretended not to know anything, but the black and white shuangsha was still very honest and watched over there. Huahua, this guy is a goblin, and when he smells the fragrance of medicine outside, he knows that there are good things at home. Although the gate is closed, what kind of chicken is it, more powerful than a super war chicken. The claws grabbed at the wall, the wings flapped, and they came in at once.
Maybe they should be given a try. Cai Hongming looked at the black and white Shuangsha and Huahua, and wanted to try them again.
Flowey and Black and White stood in the doorway, still unaware.
Huahua began to look at the Dan furnace with a probing brain, because it found that the aroma was wafting out of the furnace, and the black and white Shuangsha still looked at Cai Hongming with an honest face.
Naturally, the kneaded pills couldn't be given to them, Cai Hongming came to the Dan furnace, and poked at the wall of the furnace inside, which really made him rub out a pill. As for whether there was any material with dirt in his hand in it, it is unknown. Although I don't know how effective the medicine is, a little medicinal fragrance just now made him restless, and it should be good. Therefore, Cai Hongming didn't dare to let Huahua and the black and white shuangsha eat too much, so he divided the rubbed balls into three parts, and gave two of them to Huahua and the black and white shuangsha respectively.
After Huahua swallowed the pill, she felt a stream of heat spinning in her body, and she screamed "oh oh oh" in comfort.
Cai Hongming was annoyed by its screaming, grabbed it and threw it downstairs.
Flowey fluttered her wings and landed on the ground, pulled her legs and ran out. So, everyone saw Flowey running around the farm like crazy. In the end, I saw it running into the ostrich flock, standing behind a female ostrich and shouting, so that people's eyebrows jumped, and the female ostrich bird was in danger, afraid that her chastity would be insulted by a chicken.
The people on the farm who saw the big rooster scourge the ostrich were all thinking about it, and they didn't know whether the chicken was a rooster or an ostrich.
The black and white sheath is now huge, lying prone on the ground like a male lion, but under the simple appearance of black and white like a panda, it makes it look less fierce and more cute.
Because of its large size, the onset of the medicinal effect after eating the Dragon Tiger Yuan Pill was relatively slow, and it was not until a while later that Cai Hongming saw it rushing down from the third floor.
Then, I heard my wife's cry downstairs. (To be continued.) )
