Chapter 201: Learning to bake medicinal herbs

Lu Xiaoman stuck out his tongue and stopped talking, quietly watching Fu Xi pick up a jade box from the ground, tear off the sealed talisman and open the lid, inside were flowers he didn't recognize.

"Before alchemy, the identification and processing of elixirs are compulsory lessons, and your fire spirit root is so good, start by drying the medicinal materials. This is Zhu Tear, after losing moisture, there will be a drop of Zhu Tear on each petal, this is a sign of successful concoction, the best first-class product must have a drop of Vermilion Tear on each petal, one drop less is second-class, if it does not reach half, it is completely unqualified skills, and the whole medicinal herb is directly thrown away. Look, I'll show you, this is different from your calcining ore, we just need to dry the water and not burn the elixir to ashes. ”

Fu Xi said as he condensed the Danhuo and carefully wrapped the whole Zhu Tear plant, looking at the color of the fire, it could be seen that the fire temperature was not high, only maintained at the lowest temperature, and the moisture of the elixir turned into water vapor and evaporated out in wisps.

Lu Xiaoman's eyes widened and he looked carefully, and slowly, drops of vermilion tears began to appear on the petals, and in less than a cup of tea, the whole flower lost all its moisture and became a dried flower with a complete shape, and each petal had a drop of vermilion tears, a first-class vermilion tear in perfect condition.

"Do you see? If you're starting out for the first time, don't rush it, I'm fast because practice makes perfect, forget about the time I use, you just do it at your own pace. ”

"Yes, I see, I'll try."

Lu Xiaoman took the Zhu Tears in Fu Xi's hand, took it in his hand and carefully examined and observed, recalling the various changes in the previous elixir in the process of concoction, and then changed to a fresh medicine and tried to do it himself.

She has been burning ore for the past few days, in order to remove impurities, the emphasis is on continuous heating, drying medicinal materials only need the lowest temperature, this is another requirement for fire control, Lu Xiaoman held Zhu tears in his left hand, and condensed Danhuo in the palm of his right hand, slowly baking from the bottom of the stem upwards, so that if the fire is too fierce and the elixir is burned, at least the flower part with the strongest medicinal effect can be kept.

The orange feather mat on the side was still coiled motionless, but the divine sense was on the elixir, and communicated with the child, instructing her to control the heat and fire, not to burn the good elixir to ashes, after several days of calcining ore, suddenly started the more delicate operation of baking medicine, it is very easy to overpower.

The most essence of Zhu Tears is the Zhu Tears that only appear after concoction, only these Zhu Tears are taken during alchemy, hemostasis and muscle, and can be made into trauma medicine powder or ointment, the difficulty lies in how to concoct Zhu Tears, and how the Danshi can peel off Zhu Tears perfectly without impurities, so although the grade of the elixir is not high, the finished medicine made is used by the foundation building monks, and it is reasonable to be expensive.

Fu Xi's second pin Danshi can concoct a perfect vermilion tear in a cup of tea, it is indeed practice makes perfect, and Ye Zhou's strict standards can give a praise.

Under Ye Zhou's secret guidance, Lu Xiaoman steadily dried slowly from the stem to the direction of the flower, she had never burned Huangxiao stone powder in the past few days, she was confident in her fire control skills, and she had a sense of accomplishment when she looked at the wisps of water vapor that were steaming.

Fu Xi, who stood by and watched, watched Danhuo gradually approach the calyx, and the dried stems were always intact, and smiled silently with satisfaction.

He's really a good seedling to play with fire.
