Chapter Seventy-Two: A Different Way
"Why didn't it work out? What went wrong? Elder You crouched on the ground, his eyes red, and he grabbed his hair, which was already messy like a chicken nest.
And Wu Qiaoyan, who was standing on the side of the alchemy table, looked at her master helplessly, her new moon eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her heart was very uneasy.
Wu Qiaoyan was always afraid that Elder You would become the first master in the history of the Lost Continent to be driven crazy because his apprentice was too stupid.
"Masterβ" She shouted to Elder You with guilt and worry on her face.
"I want to ...... quietly" Elder You raised a dejected face, and after glancing at Wu Qiaoyan in a big blow, he bent his back and dragged his heavy steps towards the outside of the medicine refining room step by step.
Wu Qiaoyan looked at Elder You's back without energy, and felt so uncomfortable that she felt as if someone had been stuffed into a large ball of cotton, and she panicked.
But what makes her helpless is that she has no way to change the status quo.
"Master, I'm sorry......" Wu Qiaoyan muttered, her voice drifting in the wind and gradually disappearing.
When Wu Qiaoyan tidied up the alchemy table, she left the alchemy room and walked into the kitchen, wanting to make some snacks to make amends for her master's sins.
This time, she was going to make some jujube paste yam cakes, and the jujubes were made from the big jujube tree in the space pendant, and there happened to be a leftover yam from yesterday in the kitchen.
Peel the yam, wash the jujubes, steam them in the pot and mash them, add an appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour and mix well until they are not sticky, peel and remove the core of the jujubes, take the jujube paste and pound it finely, and then take an appropriate amount of glutinous rice and yam puree and spread it out in your hands, wrap an appropriate amount of red jujube puree and round it, and put it into the mold.
Suddenly, Wu Qiaoyan pressed down the hand of the mold, she raised her restrained eyes, and asked herself, "Why do you have to learn potions?" If all roads lead to Rome, why should I follow the rules of the path that everyone else walks? β
At this time, she realized a truth, since the pursuit is the end, don't stick to the itinerary on the road, as long as you can reach the end.
No matter how painful this trip will be, Wu Qiaoyan is already determined to do her best to explore.
She sat on the pony, her chin in her hands, frowning in contemplation.
Thinking of a feasible solution, her mind was wild, and one strange idea after another popped up, and finally her eyes stopped on the finished jujube paste yam cake.
The method of jujube paste yam cake is to remove its dross, take its edible place, and blend it into a dough......
Forming a group?
At this time, Wu Qiaoyan suddenly had a bold idea.
Since it can't be made into a potion potion, then it can be made into a pill, the more she thinks about it, the more feasible she thinks, although it may not be like a potion potion, the effect is amazing, but it can't stand the amount!
Wu Qiaoyan thinks that making pills can be made in a whole pot, and a lot of them can be produced in one pot.
After she did a good job of building in her heart, she excitedly took out all the medicinal materials needed for the blood clotting agent from the pendant space, and waited for the required gram weight to be sorted out.
She began to wash the pot and get ready.
Taking a deep breath, Wu Qiaoyan began to cut all the herbs into sections, and according to the pharmacology she understood, she first put the first herbs that needed to be boiled into the pot, poured an appropriate amount of water, covered the pot, and began to boil.
Time passed little by little, Wu Qiaoyan added the remaining herbs one after another, and after the soup boiled out dark green, she took out the impurities of the herbs, left the soup in the pot, and continued to boil until the soup became a paste, took it out, and kneaded it into a pill when it was warm.
When it was done, Wu Qiaoyan looked at the results on the plate, more than thirty round pills.
She grinned happily for a while before taking out the blood coagulant that Elder You had just refined and taking a slight sip, and after feeling the power of the medicine, she put a pill she had refined into her mouth.
After the balls were entered, her whole person seemed to have been splashed with a large basin of ice water, and her heart was cold!
Something is wrong with this ball!
How effective is this medicine...... Almost nothing.
Wu Qiaoyan poured all the round pills into the trash can in frustration, and then returned to the pony and sat in a daze.
She thought through all the processes, including Elder You's methods when refining potions.
Thinking about it, Wu Qiaoyan furrowed her eyebrows, and the question returned to the original point, when she was in the alchemy room, why did the beaker blow up when she burned the medicinal juice? What is it that makes the potion so unstable?
All the processes were exactly the same as the master's, but they just failed! Could it be that after passing through one's own hands, the medicinal juice will change?
Thinking of this, she was suddenly stunned.
Wu Qiaoyan swallowed her saliva and took out a calendula from the pendant space again, this is a calendula that has just been beaten with a small flower bone, and it has been thrown into the space for more than two months, and it is still as fresh and green as when it was first put in.
Now she is holding the calendula in her hand, and slowly, Wu Qiaoyan released the natural power in her body little by little, until she gradually wrapped the whole calendula, and suddenly, a scene that surprised her appeared.
I saw that the buds of calendula were slowly stretching out, gradually blooming from a small flower bone to the fullest large flower with bright color.
It's like you've slowed down the camera.
At this time, Wu Qiaoyan's heart was shocked, she actually had such a magical ability? How did she not know herself?
She thought about it, it was not unheard of to be able to bless the vitality of plants, that is, the last time, when she suddenly advanced in the forbidden land, the surrounding plants seemed to have been blessed with vitality, and they became more spiritual.
And Sikong Fengxuan also once told her that her natural power can regenerate and has a strong vitality, which she has heard about before and left it behind.
Who knows, there is also this layer of mysterious effects!
When Wu Qiaoyan figured out the problem with the force of nature, it finally became clear why the beaker would explode when she was burning the mixed juice of the herbs.
In her case, the beaker doesn't explode to have a ghost!
When she learned from Elder You to rub and squeeze the juice of the herbs with the power of nature, the thick life element in Wu Qiaoyan's power of nature had already quietly changed the content of the herb plants.
Originally, she had a very mild and compatible medicinal properties, but after she blessed the power of nature, the elements of various medicinal properties collided with each other, and finally reached the critical point, until the container beaker could not withstand the explosion with a "bang-" sound.
After Wu Qiaoyan figured out the principle, all that remained was how to solve it, if others estimated that they would re-evaluate and adapt to the new concentration of the potion, and then continue to refine the potion in an orderly manner.
But Wu Qiaoyan was interested in boiling elixir, after all, refining potions, the simplest potions took half an hour, and for her, she felt that the efficiency was too low.
She thought that as long as the efficacy of the medicine was ensured, it should be possible to make pills.
After Wu Qiaoyan puffed herself up again, she began to prepare for the preliminary work of refining pills.
Pick herbs, wash the pot, light the fire......
When the herbs were put into the pot, she slowly wrapped the herbs with the power of nature in the pot, constantly feeling its transformation, and when the essence juice was boiled out, Wu Qiaoyan quickly grabbed the residue out with the power of nature, and continued to put in another herb.
She was now fully focused on observing the calmness of the potions, and as soon as they were broken, she used the forces of nature to fill in and balance them.
After the herbal juice of the entire recipe was left in the pot and the whole pot was not blown up, Wu Qiaoyan eased her nervousness.
It seems that these methods are working. She muttered to herself, now that she was about to start stirring, and as time passed, Wu Qiaoyan kept stirring the juice in the pot until the mixed herbal juice was completely paste-like.
An hour later, Wu Qiaoyan looked at the plate of re-baked balls in front of her, this time the amount was a bit small, only ten balls.
However, the color is much more transparent than the previous plate, the balls on the previous plate are like mushroom balls dyed green, but the balls at this time are only the size of small fingernails, crystal clear.
All of them are fragrant, if it weren't for Wu Qiaoyan's own hands, she would have thought that this was a transparent glass bead.
After Wu Qiaoyan took a deep breath nervously, she gently picked up a pill and put it in her mouth, which melted in her mouth, and the fragrance spread throughout her mouth.
She closed her eyes and felt the effects of the medicine in silence.
It feels ......
She suddenly opened her eyes, and Wu Qiaoyan's heart was pounding.
This effect was even stronger than the blood coagulation pill refined by Elder You.
Danmaru is officially completed!
"Master, masterββ!" Wu Qiaoyan excitedly and excitedly held the plate of the remaining nine blood condensation pills in both hands, and ran towards Elder You's room.
"Master-look at the apprentice, the apprentice has made it, and the apprentice has not disappointed you."
Wu Qiaoyan, who had been reporting the good news all the way, ran to Elder You's room, and her steps couldn't help but slow down.
In the room, Elder You was sitting on the floor without an image, and the scattered books next to him were already covered with the floor, and he was frowning, digging through the materials.
Wu Qiaoyan looked at the gray-haired old man, her eyes turned red instantly, she cleared her choked throat, and spoke again: "Master, the apprentice didn't disappoint you." β
Elder You, who was still immersed in the sea of books and immersed himself in hard reading, finally heard what she said this time.
Elder You raised his head suddenly, looked at Wu Qiaoyan fixedly, and the whole person was stunned, and then, he trembled his beard and excitedly, but asked in disbelief: "You, you, what did you say?" You did it? β
"Yes, master, thank you for the master's teachings, Qiao Yan has successfully refined it." With tears in her eyes, she nodded fiercely and replied with a smile.
Elder You's heartbeat was so excited, he jumped up like an old naughty boy, and urged in his mouth: "Quick, quick, show the teacher!" β
"Whoa." Wu Qiaoyan stretched out the plate containing the nine blood condensation pills in front of Elder You.
Elder You: ...... "Don't be hungry for the teacher, save the dim sum for a while, you can quickly show the blood coagulant you have just refined to the teacher." β
"I didn't refine the blood clotting agent." Before she could finish her words, Elder You's smile froze, and he was so angry that his beard curled up and his face suddenly sank, and he said.
"You girl, if you can't refine it, just say it, think of a way for the master to give you, can you use it to tease the master like this? Hmph - you're so angry with teachers and students! β
"Master, master." Wu Qiaoyan held the plate with a smile in her eyes, walked up to Elder You, looked at Elder You expectantly, and begged in a coquettish tone: "Master, don't be angry, the apprentice will make amends to you, can you taste the balls on this plate?" β
