The flame at the bottom of the alchemy furnace is blazing, cauterizing the multi-flavored medicine inside the furnace at high temperature, consuming the impurities in it, and extracting the essence contained in it, so as to condense the medicine with miraculous effect. Bursts of medicinal fragrance came out through the exhaust holes, wafting through the house, touching people's sense of smell.

There were many people in the room, including Zhao Zheng, Yu Ling'er, and several of Yu Ling'er's apprentices.

Yu Ling'er was groping for ways to refine jade muscle cream, and sometimes took the time to teach Zhao Zheng, and the disciples next to her were stained with Zhao Zheng's light, and they also listened attentively. In normal times, Yu Ling'er rarely teaches this group of apprentices, and has been a hands-off master. These apprentices are all female apprentices, because Yu Ling'er only accepts female apprentices and never accepts male apprentices. Zhao Zhengneng stayed by her side to study, which was already an unprecedented exception.

"The refining of plaster drugs is generally divided into six steps, Zhao Zheng, you can tell me, which six steps are divided into. I just taught you this the other day, and I wonder if you have forgotten it. Yu Ling'er's eyes were fixed on the lid of the alchemy furnace, and she raised her nose to sniff the fragrance of the medicine that was gradually changing.

Zhao Zheng stood next to Yu Ling'er with his hands in his hand, but he didn't get too close, he heard the question, thought about it for a while, and replied: "The first step is to decoction, the second step is to refine oil, the third step is to lower the Dan, the fourth step is to add medicine, the fifth step is to remove fire poison, and the sixth step is to harvest medicine." ”

The disciples who were standing behind the two of them were all listening with their ears stretched out, some of the disciples knew the six steps, and some of the disciples didn't know. Those disciples who had heard of these six steps for the first time hurriedly picked up the brush, dipped saliva on the tip of their tongues, and quickly wrote these six steps on the booklet in their hands as notes.

Among the three prescriptions provided by Zhao Zheng, the jade skin cream is the least implicated, it is just a plaster for removing scars, and even if it is circulated, there will be no worries. Therefore, there is no need to hide it, you can refine it in front of these ordinary disciples. If it was replaced by two more precious pills, it would not be able to be refined in front of so many people, and it would need to be explored secretly.

After listening to Zhao Zheng's answer, Yu Ling'er nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right, it's these six steps." We are now in the process of refining the first step of the Jade Muscle Ointment, which is the decoction you just mentioned. Although we don't know the correct refining process of Jade Muscle Cream, according to the general technique of refining other plasters, it is still possible to bypass. In this step of decoction, hard drugs such as hard shells, tree roots, bone and flesh are lowered first, fruits and the like are second, and flowers and leaves are lowered. Aromatic herbs or oils that are easy to diffuse cannot be directly fried in boiling oil. Otherwise, the former will be dissipated by high temperatures, and the latter will easily catch fire and burn. Therefore, the latter two types of medicinal materials should be ground into fine materials, mixed in the plaster matrix after boiling, and stirred from time to time. When the medicinal materials in the Dan furnace show a dry state, the process of decoction is over, and then the dried residue of the medicinal materials is filtered and removed, and the medicinal oil is left for later use. ”

Zhao Zheng listened silently beside him, and memorized these words with his heart. He has a good memory of his surname, and when he comes home from lectures every day, he can write down the things he has learned during the day on paper with a pen, and he will not travel at all.

Yu Ling'er explained the process of decoction, while paying attention to the movement of the alchemy furnace, and frequently put various medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace according to the rules of refining plasters. Under the fierce heat of the barbecue, these herbs gradually turned withered, and a shallow layer of medicinal oil emerged on them.

"It's almost time for the fire." Yuling Eryu slapped her hand at the bottom of the furnace, and used her palm wind to extinguish the fire, and the temperature in the room suddenly dropped a little. She lifted the lid of the stove and used a spoon to fill out all the contents of the furnace, then strained out the medicinal oil contained in the contents and poured it into a small pot for later use.

"I hope we can succeed in refining it as soon as possible, because there are not many medicinal materials that can be used to refine this plaster, especially the most important main medicine, Misty Grass, there are only two or three strains left. Miscellaneous grass is very rare, and it is difficult to buy it in the market, so it is troublesome to run out. She complained to herself as if she was talking to herself, but she didn't stop her hand, she was still working on the next refining step, and she was wiping the furnace gall stained with the residue of medicinal herbs with a cotton cloth.

At this moment, a few dog barks suddenly came from outside the hospital, and the sound became louder and louder from far to near, even if it did not stimulate the five senses, it could be heard only by normal hearing.

Everyone in the house was stunned when they heard the barking of the dog, because it was really abnormal.

In order to protect the safety of the mountain and prevent trouble, the Taishan faction did raise a lot of wolf dogs, but those dogs were usually kept in cages on the mountainside and under the mountain, and they were rarely brought to the top of the mountain. Because the top of the hill is where the high-ranking people live, it needs to be kept quiet, and the dogs that bark a lot often can't stay here. As soon as someone leads the wolfdog to the top of the mountain, something must have happened.

Everyone looked out the window, wanting to see what was going on, but under the block of the courtyard wall, they couldn't see anything at all.

Yu Ling'er noticed that everyone was wandering, her eyebrows furrowed, and she scolded: "Don't care about those things that have nothing to do with you, concentrate on how I refine medicine." This process seems simple, but even a small action hides skills, if you don't pay attention to it, you won't want to become an alchemy master for the rest of your life. ”

All the disciples hurriedly responded in unison, and they all took their eyes back, and stared at Yu Ling'er's Qianqianyu hand together.

Everyone ignored what was going on outside the window and concentrated on refining the pill, but the barking of the dogs outside the courtyard became more and more noisy, and they came all the way to the vicinity of this courtyard. In addition to the barking of dogs, there was also the shouting of some people.

"I don't know which bastard is so heartbroken that he even steals a woman's belly pocket and pants, which is even more filthy than those flower thieves."

"That is, this kind of thing is more hateful than cheating with a female disciple, and it must not be tolerated, if this matter spreads, where is the face of this sect."

"The wolfdogs smell all the way here, and they should be able to find the whereabouts of those belly pockets."

There was a lot of noise outside, saying things like that, as if they were looking for some thief who had stolen a woman's belly pocket and obscene pants.

When the female disciples in the alchemy room heard these words, their faces all turned red, revealing a shy look, forming a charming landscape.

"The group of people outside seems to be leading dogs and catching thieves."

"Why do they always carry some kind of belly pockets? Shame is not ashamed. ”

"Haven't you heard? Recently, there was a thief on the mountain who specialized in stealing female disciples' belly pockets and obscene pants, and many female disciples' belly pockets and pants were stolen. He threatened to catch the thief who stole the belly pocket and obscene pants, so as to correct the rules of the mountain. I guess they're leading the dog around to catch thieves. ”

"If you catch a thief, you will catch a thief, why are they leading the dog?"

"You're so stupid, the dog's nose spirit, they must be using the dog's nose to find the whereabouts of those belly pocket pants, and if they find those belly pocket pants, they will naturally be able to figure out who stole them."

"Oh, I see."

Some female disciples couldn't help but talk about the topic of "underwear thieves".

Zhao Zheng had also heard a little about these things, and he had heard about them a few days ago. He felt that this matter was somewhat ridiculous, but he didn't expect that there was such an anomaly as an underwear thief in ancient times, and it was in the Taishan faction. In the previous life, such a strange thing had not happened to the Tarzan faction.

Yu Ling'er listened to these people's words, her ears couldn't help but feel a little feverish, and she reprimanded her disciples a few more words to shut up this group of twittering girls.

Finally, no one spoke in the alchemy furnace, but at this time, there was a knock on the door, and it was very urgent, like a drum. Judging by the sound, the person who knocked on the door seemed to be the group that caught the thief.

"Nonsense, why did they come to knock on my Leng Xiangju's door, could it be that stealing ...... Will the thieves be in our yard? Yu Ling'er was greatly displeased, flicked her sleeves heavily, and sent a female disciple over to open the door.

The female disciple ran out and opened the door, but it was not the group of thieves who came in, but the smiling ghost. Wang II.

Wang Er was indiscriminate, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Elder Zhao! Zhao Gongzi! Come out and take a look, that group of people are going to take their dogs to search our Chaoyang Residence! They gathered at the gate with their dogs, and the second master of the sword slave stopped them and prevented them from searching, and the two groups were deadlocked. You are the owner of Leng Xiangju, and this matter has to be decided by you! ”

It turned out that those who caught the thieves were not going to break into Leng Xiangju, but to break into Chaoyang Ju!

Zhao Zheng's face changed slightly when he heard this, he never expected that that group of people would want to search Chaoyang Residence. Was this routine or because some clues were found?

The people in the alchemy room all looked at Zhao Zheng, and it could be seen from their expressions that these people were also surprised.

"The Jade Hall Master will wait, I'll come when I go." Zhao Zheng said hello to Yu Ling'er, walked out of the alchemy room quickly, and met Wang Er through the courtyard.

"My Great Elder, come over quickly. Things are a little bit not good. Wang Er stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhao Zheng's sleeve, and pulled Zhao Zheng to Chaoyangju.

Zhao Zheng looked at the door of Chaoyangju and found that there was indeed a large group of people gathered there, and several of these people were holding black and brown wolf dogs in their hands.

The leader of the crowd was a tall middle-aged man, with an oval face, a wide forehead, a vertical stripe on his forehead, a pair of sword eyebrows inserted obliquely into his sideburns, and a pair of sharp eyes under the eyebrows. In addition, he has an iron nose and a catfish mouth, and his appearance is very majestic and vicious. On his back, he carried a broadsword with a number, and two stainless steel judge's pens dangling from his waist.

This person is the leader of the Criminal Regulation Hall Iron Mask, known for his iron mask and selflessness, he is usually in charge of the gang rules, never favoritism, law enforcement is very strict, and there is no leakage, so he got the nickname "Iron Mask".

There were also two people standing at the door of Chaoyangju, one was a sword slave, and the other was Ren Qianqiu, these two people blocked the door and did not let the group of people in Zhang Tiemian enter. With Ren Qianqiu's identity, he naturally couldn't stop Zhang Tiemian's group of people, and it was mainly the sword slave who was at work.

I saw the sword slave carrying a huge sword box disproportionate to his figure, pinching his waist with one hand, and pointing at Zhang Tiemian with the other, and saying some tough words with his eyebrows. (To be continued.) )
