Chapter 44: Alchemy
Lu Xiaobai didn't move, put the thin books back on the messy stall, got up and took Jin Xi's little hand, shook his head, and then walked to the other side.
Li He looked at Lu Xiaobai's back, then looked at the books on the stall, hesitated for a moment, and reached into his pocket.
One hand grabbed the hand he put in his trouser pocket, but it was Lu Xiaobai who went and returned.
"Don't?" Li He asked puzzled.
Lu Xiaobai looked at the stall owner with a smile, then pointed to the thin book, and said, "What I'm interested in is not that book, but the poison in the book." ”
"Poison in the book?" Hearing this, Li He was startled and took a few steps back.
Lu Xiaobai shook his head and said, "It's okay, this poison can be cured, I originally wanted to relieve the stall owner's worries, but he doesn't need it, so I won't be nosy." ”
The stall owner's expression changed for a moment, looking at the books on the stall, his lips trembled slightly, and there was a little fear in his eyes.
After hesitating for a long time, the stall owner suddenly knelt down.
Lu Xiaobai and Li He were both startled, and Lu Xiaobai moved away and dodged the stall owner's kneeling.
The stall owner's eyes were red, and he hugged Lu Xiaobai's leg and said, "Help me!" ”
Lu Xiaobai tore off the stall owner's hands, took two steps back, and said: "You know that the book is poisonous, and you still take it out and sell it, obviously with the intention of harming people, your heart is so vicious, how can I save you?" ”
The stall owner took out the book and said, "Aren't you interested?" As long as you save me, I will give you this book for free, no, the books in my stall can be given to you. ”
Lu Xiaobai looked at the books on the stall, there were a lot, and there were a few swordsmanship, this kind of swordsmanship that played on the swordsmanship was extremely expensive, even in Shushan, it could be exchanged for a lot of resources.
The most important thing is that he needs resources, the impact of the innate double, he needs a lot of medicinal materials to refine the medicine, and he also has to buy a lot of materials, and the lack of funds may be obtained from here.
"I can save you." Lu Xiaobai looked at him, "But I don't pay for the medicinal materials, I want these things, you go and pool the money to buy the medicine on the prescription." ”
"Yes." The stall owner nodded.
Subsequently, Lu Xiaobai took the stall owner into a restaurant, asked for a private room, and several people sat down.
When they sat down, Li He and Jin Xi deliberately stayed away from the stall owner, separated by several seats.
After entering the table, there are beautiful women serving tea and pouring water, and the manager is waiting on the side, although the stall owner is in a hurry, he also knows that he is not in a hurry, so he can only wait for the food to be delivered, and then start to get into the main topic.
Frequent tea drinking, the stall owner seems very anxious.
Fortunately, the food was quickly served, and the stall owner hurriedly invited the waiter out, and then the monkey asked anxiously: "Brother, if you can really save me, take out the prescription quickly, I will buy it immediately." ”
Lu Xiaobai cleaned the chopsticks, not in a hurry, and even taught Jin Xi how to wash, the stall owner was extremely impatient, and wanted to open his mouth several times, but closed his mouth again, so he had to sit aside and pour tea.
Lu Xiaobai washed his chopsticks and said: "Prescribing a prescription also depends on the condition, although I know that this poison comes from the ground, but the severity of your poisoning is different, and the prescription will be different." ”
"Underground? Digging a grave? Li He suddenly interjected.
The stall owner lowered his head and said, "Not bad." ”
"No wonder, much of the stuff in the ground is poisonous." Li He said with relief.
Lu Xiaobai said: "Okay, give me your hand." ”
The stall owner obediently stretched out his hand.
Lu Xiaobai gently put his hand on his pulse, withdrew his hand after a while, looked at the stall owner's face, and said, "Open your mouth, I'll look at my tongue." ”
The stall owner did so, opened his thick lips, stretched out his yellow, chapped tongue, and a pungent bad breath emanated from his mouth, and Lu Xiaobai, who was opposite, closed his eyes and wrinkled his nose, and turned his head.
After a few seconds, he turned back and said, "It's troublesome." ”
The stall owner slapped a token on the table, "This is all my contributions." ”
An internal force was injected, and on the black wooden token, the center of a small silver sword was engraved, and two numbers appeared on the blade.
53。
Lu Xiaobai took the token and took out a similar one, the two tokens collided, and the number of the stall owner's piece disappeared, while Lu Xiaobai's had 53 points more.
Two days later, the stall owner bought medicinal herbs, and Lu Xiaobai kept a few precious medicinal herbs for his own use, and the others were practiced into pills and handed over to the stall owner.
Sending away the unlucky child stall owner, Lu Xiaobai entered the alchemy room.
There are twelve medicinal herbs from the pit this time, with a total value of more than 1,000 Shushan coins, and what he wants to refine is the "Innate True Qi Pill" that can be used in the innate realm, which can increase fighting qi.
The alchemy room is equipped with a Dan furnace, Lu Xiaobai put the pill on the table, carefully screened it, classified the medicinal materials, cleaned them with clean water, and absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, condensed into a drop of spiritual liquid, and dripped it into the clear water to lock the medicinal power.
Wash the Dan furnace, dry it, and put the water with spiritual energy, controlled by fighting energy, into the Dan furnace to rotate, so that the inner wall of the Dan furnace is moistened by spiritual water.
Throw the medicinal herbs into the Dan furnace, inject the fighting energy, pull the flame of the center of the earth to the bottom of the Dan furnace, divide a wisp of spirit to control the temperature of the flame, and the main consciousness will calcinate all kinds of medicinal materials at a suitable temperature.
The temperature in the Dan furnace is different, the same as the circle on the target, the lowest temperature in the outermost part and the highest temperature in the small circle in the center, and the twelve medicinal herbs are placed in different positions and calcined separately.
Because the materials of the herbs are different and the boiling points are different, this can make all the herbs reach the boiling point at the same time, and the liquid inside the herbs can be squeezed out.
"Scattered flowers" are the easiest to reach the boiling point, so Lu Xiaobai placed it at the outermost twenty inches high, where the flame temperature is very low, but after the simmering, there is also a "gurgling" sound in the petals, like the sound of a kettle boiling.
In fact, not only the distance close to the center affects the temperature, but also the height, the closer to the bottom of the Dan furnace, the higher the temperature, in the Dou Qi Continent that Lu Xiaobai crossed at the beginning, every junior alchemist must remember the most precise flame scale in order to pass the basic assessment.
The temperature of any position of a Dan furnace is different, and it is also related to an alchemist's control of the flames, and for this kind of assessment, it is no less difficult than studying physics.
In the previous life, Lu Xiaobai studied for three years, but he didn't remember the temperature under different flames, and finally mastered it directly through the system.
An hour had passed, and the walls of the Dan furnace had completely adapted to the flames, and the preheating had been completed, reaching the peak state of alchemy, and the scattered flowers had turned into viscous liquids at this moment, or powdery objects were more appropriate, and some powders were still sticky.
Powdery pink, bright in color, but noble and unassuming, just like the most perfect lipstick in the world, this mass of powder floats on the edge of the Dan furnace, quietly exuding its cold brilliance, like a cold sun.
