Chapter 49 Refining bone-setting ointment
After the two of them sat down, Fang Xiao introduced the medicine tripod on the formation.
"In short, the role of the medicine tripod is to encompass and create, and the flame is to decompose and fuse, if you don't know anything, you can ask now. ”
After a few minutes, Fang Xiao finally explained the role of the medicine tripod and the flame clearly, and explained the work that needed to be prepared.
"No, the disciples all understand. ”
These things are very simple things, and Mentor Fang Yu has said it clearly enough.
"Then I'll start demonstrating the first layer of the Stacking Wave Triple Technique now, look at it!"
Fang Xiao didn't know when he had gotten up and came to Ding.
I saw that he had a void palm, and the lid of the tripod was automatically opened, and the prepared clean water was poured into the tripod, and then a dried safflower jade hibiscus flower was put in, and a powdery material was put in, and then turned it over casually, and the lid was covered, and finally a fire trick was played, and the golden earth fire gushed out from the circular array.
After the earth fire appeared, the temperature in the alchemy room increased rapidly, and Mu Lang suddenly felt a wave of fire rushing towards him.
He hurriedly picked up the cold jade that Tutor Fang Xiao had said and put it on his chest, only then did he feel a little better, and when he saw that Tutor Fang Yu kept moving, he concentrated and continued to study.
"Bring water to a boil until it is thick. The blazing fire quickly made the pure water in the pod boil, and the fierce fire lasted for a while, and in the process, Fang Yu kept adding different materials. Mu Lang's spiritual power passed through the body of the ding, and he "saw" that the pure water evaporated quickly, and the dried jade hibiscus flowers were also soaked and eroded and dispersed, turning into a part of the thick liquid.
"When the fire is simmering, it is like a surging river rushing ashore, separating the dregs in the process of continuous surge. As soon as the viscous fluid with the big mouth of the bowl could not see the traces of dry flowers, Fang Xiao played a fire reduction trick, and the fierce earth fire recipe just turned into a simmer. Next is the main event, Fang Xiao's spiritual power has increased significantly, and the viscous semi-finished fluid in the ding is pressed into a wave shape by him with his mental power, imitating the situation of the back wave pushing the front wave, plus the force. At this moment, the body of the tripod that was sitting upright began to vibrate, and I saw that the semi-finished fluid flow of the pill liquid in the body of the tripod was non-stop!
Bang! A wave! The liquid slammed down.
A thin layer of scum appeared in the front wave, and as soon as it appeared, it turned into fly ash in this ultra-high temperature body, and was guided by Fang Xiao's spiritual power to be discarded aside.
"Fusion essence, finally become Dan!" The rumbling sound sounded in the ding, and the Dan liquid fluid, which was originally the situation of the back wave pushing the front wave, was slowly controlled, slowly turning into an ellipse, slowly living in the middle, and slowly rotating. The speed of the rotation of the elliptical Dan liquid is slowly accelerated, the water is rapidly evaporated, and the various components in the Dan liquid are also rapidly fused in this high-speed rotation, this part is the most important part, whether the various medicinal materials can be fused together, it depends on this time!
The large bowl of Dan liquid liquid soon became the size of an egg, and the high-speed rotation gradually slowed down.
Then came the last part, Cheng Dan!
The body was no longer shaking at this time, and the flames in the formation were almost invisible as they descended and fell.
The speed of rotation slowed down until it stopped, and the fire was extinguished. At this moment, Mu Lang felt a mysterious feeling rise from his heart, and a thought came out, this Dan has been completed!
Fang Yu stopped what he was doing, and when the danxiang came out of the ding, he turned to look at Mu Lang, who was still in place.
Mu Lang was indeed stunned at this time, and his heart carefully recalled the elixir that Fang Yu had refined with the First Overlapping Wave Technique.
During this process, Fang Xiao spoke slowly in a rare serious tone, and only said a few words at each stage, focusing on the essentials of the action and Mu Lang's own understanding.
In Fang Xiao's heart, no matter what kind of exercise technique, he must have his own understanding, and the master just leads him into the door, at most, when the disciple's understanding is biased, pull him back, this method is much better than his hard indoctrination.
Mu Lang combined the theoretical knowledge he had learned before, and thought about it carefully in his heart, firmly remembering the essentials of Fang Xiao's actions just now.
He finally recovered from his stunned state, and as soon as he came back to his senses, he saw that Fang Xiao had already packed the first-grade blood qi pill in the jade bottle, and he happened to look at him for a long time.
"How's it going, what's the catch?"
"Live up to the expectations of the mentor!"
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this answer, he didn't expect Mu Lang, who was usually modest and steady, to make this answer.
"Haha, good!" Then he was overjoyed, and it seemed that he had indeed mastered it well.
"It's the instructor who teaches well. Mu Lang patted a little fart, usually he rarely speaks, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand the world, it's just that he thinks that doing things well is far greater than patting the horse, but it is also necessary to properly express his respect, such as now.
"Whether I teach well or not, I know in my heart, I don't need you to make a big fuss! You stinky boy!" Fang Yu knew his education level, Wang Luo was a good example, he scolded with a smile.
"Now that you've mastered it, let's take a look, but I don't think your current mental strength can support you to complete the entire alchemy process. ”
"Isn't it up to the mark, what kind of mental strength can it be achieved?" Mu Lang hurriedly asked.
He was actually puzzled, Li Xia and Wang Luo had been studying under Tutor Fang Xiao for a year and a half, but the two of them still couldn't pass the assessment of a first-grade pharmacist, indicating that some of their conditions still did not meet the requirements, hearing Fang Liao's spiritual strength requirements, Mu Lang suddenly thought of this.
"Yes, in fact, the birth of every alchemist depends on whether his spiritual strength meets the requirements, and your Senior Sister Li Xia is still a little short, and it will be almost the same in two months. You see if the mental strength in your brain is liquefied, if not, it will not meet the requirements. The standard that can support a pharmacist to complete alchemy alone, and the lowest standard is also the liquefaction of spiritual power!" Fang Xiao said carefully.
"I see, and these doorways. After Mu Lang finished speaking, he concentrated his concentration and probed into his mind, when he saw that there was only a misty spiritual power in his brain, he knew that he was still far from a first-grade pharmacist.
Mu Lang was not discouraged, he also knew that it was not so easy to achieve a pharmacist, and now that he knew the gap, he would work hard to achieve it!
And will the spiritual power that has been atomized be far from liquefaction?
"Haven't liquefied yet?" Fang Liao saw Mu Lang's movements, and when he saw him look at it again, he asked out loud.
"Not yet. Mu Lang replied truthfully.
"You don't have to be discouraged, with your spiritual power talent, no accident, it is only a matter of time before you become an alchemist, just cultivate your spiritual power step by step. Fang Liao comforted him.
"The disciple knows. ”
"However, although you can't refine it now, some simple liquid ointment can be refined, and I will use the first level of the Stacking Wave Technique to refine the bone-setting ointment that the alchemy apprentice can refine, and after reading it, you will start refining it yourself. ”
"Okay!"
In fact, Fang Yu knew that Mu Lang's spiritual strength had not yet liquefied, and showing him the process of refining the pill was also to plant a seed in his heart, and by the way, let him comprehend the mystery of the first layer of the Stacking Waves Triple Technique.
Fang Liao didn't say much anymore, and quickly refined an ointment. Refining medicinal ointment is much simpler than refining elixir, and the steps are not as final as the final fusion and formation of pills. When the material is refined to the Dan liquid fluid, it is directly pressed into a flake plaster to evaporate the water and extinguish the fire.
When the temperature in Dingzhong cooled, Fang Liao lifted the top cover and took out the bone-setting ointment, and when he saw that the bone-setting cream was gray and thick, he knew that the quality of the poultice refined this time was good.
"I've prepared ten ingredients for bone-setting cream, you try to refine it first, and I'll watch from the sidelines. Fang Liao put away the bone-setting cream and said to Mu Lang.
"Okay, then I'll start refining it myself. Mu Lang watched the refining again, and he was even more confident in his heart, not that he was blindly confident, but that his previous theoretical knowledge was already solid, and the poor thing was practice, and the strength of his spiritual power was not low, and it was still possible to refine the ointment.
Let's get started!
Mu Lang believed in himself, walked to the front of the medicine ding, and recalled the refining essentials again before he started to do it.
Kurokawa black two taels, short grass black two taels, three ridges three taels, angelica leaves three taels...... Pieces of ordinary medicinal herbs are put in, and finally a sufficient amount of purified water is added, and the wooden waves are covered with a tripod cover.
As soon as the fire is fired, the earth fire gushes out, and after it rises to a certain level, it will not continue to improve, and maintain a certain amount of fire.
Soon, the pure water in the ding has been boiling, all kinds of materials are tumbling, the water begins to become turbid, and then the medicinal materials gradually dissolve and disperse, and the water is also evaporated quickly, Mu Lang's spirit has always been focused on the changes in the ding.
Oh no, the Ice Heart Grass should be added at this time, he was stunned, and finally there was a mistake, but he didn't think about it anymore, and quickly picked up the Ice Heart Grass and threw it into the ding!
Fortunately, the remedial measures were made in time, and there were no special changes in the ding, so as not to fall short.
Next, he was a lot more cautious, always keeping an eye on Dingnai. With the passage of time, there was only a ball of Dan liquid fluid left in the ding, and Mu Lang knew that the important time was coming.
At this time, he needs to use his mental power to control the Dan liquid fluid, make a posture of the back wave pushing the front wave, and squeeze out the excess dregs.
The earth fire had become even lower from the simmering fire, and he concentrated his energy, and his spiritual power began to erupt towards the Dingzhong. Slowly, the Dan liquid fluid changed its form with Mu Lang's mind, and soon, the fluid became thin in the front and thick in the back, and the back wave was controlled by a heavy beat, and the dregs appeared in a thin line as scheduled, far less than as Fang Liao struck out.
With just one blow, Mu Lang felt that his spiritual power was seriously consumed, and he was unable to deliver another blow, so he could only give up.
Turn off the ground fire, stop the ground fire at this time, and the residual temperature in the ding is enough for Mu Lang's next operation. He slowly used the little spiritual power he had left to control the Dan liquid fluid, making it oblate, and it didn't stop until it was only the thickness of a sesame seed.
Phew! Mu Lang took a few deep breaths and shook his head, which was already a little heavy, this seemingly simple plaster refining was far more difficult than he imagined!
One of the most difficult is the control of the rhythm, when to start heating and cooling, when to start adding what materials, there must be rules, if you are not careful, you may fail, there are several times Mu Lang almost didn't have time to react, fortunately, he did enough work in the early stage, and remedied it in time, otherwise this time it is likely to slap the old face and snap.
"It's worthy of Xiao Lang, you can use the Stacking Wave Technique to refine the bone-setting cream in one go, it's very good!" Fang Liao was still very happy, Mu Lang's learning ability and talent were fully reflected through this refining study, which made him feel that the plan he created for Mu Lang was very likely to come true!
"Disciple still has a long way to go, refining plasters is much more difficult than imagined, there is a lot of luck in succeeding this time, I don't deserve such praise from the mentor!" Mu Lang blushed a little at this time.
"Haha, luck is also part of strength!" Fang Liao naturally also found Mu Lang's small mistakes in the refining process, he felt that this was within the allowable range, beginners did not make a little mistake, they were not called beginners, and they could be remedied in time, but it made Fang Liao see Mu Lang's cleverness, as for Mu Lang's slightly arrogant words in front, isn't this the heart that young people should have?
