Chapter 629: Learning Alchemy
Ming Yongchen has a bit of gossip potential, which is completely different from his elegant appearance that gives the first impression, and he is full of interest when he talks about gossip, which is no different from the seven aunts and eight aunts walking at the door.
“…… Therefore, the second elder has a bad temper, which is also very understandable, after all, he is a person who has experienced betrayal, and he must think that there is something wrong with everyone, and his attitude towards me has always been very bad, and he always thinks that I am a foreign surname, so he can't trust me," Ming Yongchen directly cited himself as an example, "I wanted to study alchemy before...... After all, medicine and alchemy are inseparable, so the second elder took one look at me, ignored me, and left me to the other teachers......"
The more Shen Jinchu listened, the more apprehensive he felt.
From the beginning, she felt that the second elder looked very fierce, not very easy to approach, and did not take the initiative to try to talk, when she was studying in the junior class before, the other elders would come over to take a look to see how she was learning, and then woo her by the way, but the second elder never came once, and when he met him on the road, he walked over without squinting, and he was reluctant to throw it to her even out of the corner of his eye.
So when the little girl walked to the door of the second elder's courtyard, she felt a little frightened.
"What are you doing at the door?" When the second elder opened the door, he was startled by Shen Jinchu, who was standing silently at the door, and his face, which was not very good-looking, suddenly became darker: "Come in quickly." ”
Shen Jinchu walked in with bated breath and saw more than a dozen medicinal materials in front of him, as well as a huge alchemy furnace.
"You give me a hand, and by the way, watch the refining process," the second elder didn't say a word, and sat down in front of the stove, "Look at it carefully, I'll only refine it once." ”
He felt the temperature of the alchemy furnace, and then began to pick up the medicinal materials, and put them in the alchemy furnace in the same way, the wall of the alchemy furnace is transparent, so the shape of the medicinal materials inside can be well observed, and when all the medicinal materials are melted, only the essence is left, and then it begins to gradually fuse, Shen Jinchu looked intently, his expression was very serious.
After waiting for the Dan to be completed, the Second Elder raised his hand lightly, and several round pills flew into the palm of his hand.
"I have prepared ten medicinal herbs for you, you have a day to practice, I want to see the finished product before sunset," the second elder said very concisely and forcefully, "The pill recipe and simple precautions are placed on the parchment scroll next to it, you can refer to it for alchemy, let's start now, don't waste time." ”
Shen Jinchu recalled in his mind the actions of the second elder just now, and also sat there and began to refine in a similar way.
The first time quickly failed, the reason was that there was a problem with the heat, the heat of the alchemy furnace needed spiritual power to control, and Shen Jinchu was careless, so he burned one of the medicinal herbs too much.
The second failure also came very suddenly-the heat was just right, but there was a problem when it was fused, the medicinal materials collided together, and it burned all at once, Shen Jinchu tried twice more before he figured out the doorway, and mixed the medicinal materials in order, and the rough pill had just been formed.
She tried it over and over again, staring at the alchemy furnace with all her attention, and before she knew it, it was night.
The Second Elder quietly walked back to the courtyard and silently watched Shen Jinchu carry out the last refining.
