Text Chapter 77 Refining Medicine and Taking Medicine

Dai Xiahu quickly brought the thousand-year-old snow lotus, he didn't blink his eyes, and put it directly in front of Chen Rui: "Brother Chen, this is the snow lotus, you see if there is any mistake in the vintage." ”

This snow lotus is indeed old enough, because before opening the box, Chen Rui smelled the bursts of medicinal fragrance coming from inside, which was very rich.

Etiquette exchanges, Chen Rui answered many questions from Dai Xiahu, such as the current situation of the cultivation realm, and which sects are unique. But Dai Xiahu asked the most about the way of alchemy, but unfortunately Chen Rui knew only a lot, and finally handed over a few prescriptions he remembered to Dai Xiahu.

Dai Xiahu stepped into the cultivation realm with a book of Qi Cultivation Decisions that he had accidentally obtained, and the person who practiced Qi Determination for him died soon after, leaving nothing for Dai Xiahu, only a few pages of pill pills and an alchemy furnace. Dai Xiahu, who is not qualified for spiritual roots, can just step into the Dan Dao, which does not pay much attention to cultivation, and bumps and bumps along the way, and after spending huge financial resources, there is also a small success. He can refine most of the elixirs for spiritual monks, produce and sell them himself, and his cultivation can be regarded as advancing by leaps and bounds.

But now he is refining the legendary Zhuyan Pill, but because he has not broken through to the immortal stage, he has not been able to open the furnace for a long time.

"Brother Chen, my brother has something to ask for, I don't know if it's okay to talk about it. When Dai Xiahu said this, his sad face was mixed with shyness, even if he didn't know anything about cultivation, he knew the importance of the heart of the exercises.

Chen Rui had already guessed Dai Xiahu's thoughts, and said generously: "Brother Dai is worried about the exercises, I saw that the medicines in your room are all elixirs of the spiritual stage, so I guessed one or two, even the worst pseudo-spiritual root cultivators can't use so many pills." To say that it is used to practice hands, it is not normal, but it is not advisable to practice low-grade pills. ”

Dai Xiahu scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Those who know me, Brother Chen, the younger brother is indeed worried about being trapped in the spiritual introduction period, but I spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources, but I couldn't find the news of the cultivator, so I had to live here behind closed doors. ”

"I do have exercises, although I didn't bring them, but I also remember a few basic exercises, but I don't know how to check people's spiritual root attributes, and I can't pass on the exercises to you casually, otherwise the exercise attributes are different from your spiritual roots, wouldn't it hurt you." Chen Rui said seriously.

"Thank you Brother Chen for your kindness, but my master explained before he died, saying that I am a pseudo-spiritual root, and although my qualifications are extremely poor, I can practice exercises of any attribute, but my achievements cannot be too high. Dai Xiahu smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Then you memorize it, I'll recite it, you can write it down. Chen Rui can only recognize the ancient Chinese characters here, and it is difficult for him to write them.

A quarter of an hour later.

Dai Xiahu put away his pen and ink and bowed deeply: "Thank you Brother Chen, Dai is grateful!"

Chen Rui hurriedly helped Dai Xiahu up and said, "Brother Dai is polite, I think that in addition to cultivating the truth, it is also very important to support each other." Just like you and me, I got the thousand-year-old snow lotus, and Brother Dai got the exercises, mutual benefit and reciprocity, isn't it beautiful?"

After that, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the meaning was self-evident.

Then the two talked all night, and Chen Rui did not say goodbye until dawn, and when he left, he also gave Dai Xiahu a storage bag he got from Ah San. Dai Gui, who looked at the door, was dumbfounded, and looked at his master politely and politely, sending away the "servant" who was looked down on by him yesterday. Chen Rui naturally saw Dai Gui too, but he was too lazy to meet him in general.

Out of Dai's Mansion, Chen Rui rushed directly to Baicaotang, and the guy in the store told Chen Rui that the medicinal materials were almost ready, and there was only the medicine called "Wei Qi" left, and Mr. Qi went to look for it yesterday, and he would come back at noon.

Chen Rui didn't have anything to do at the moment, so he just sat in this Baicao Hall and waited for Mr. Qi's return, and drank tea to relax by the way.

About noon, Mr. Qi finally came back with a medicine basket on his back, and when he saw Chen Rui in the store, Qi Lao said: "This 'Wei Qi' is actually our Qili here, which happens to be on the low hill in the north, so I went to pick it myself." ”

The guy in the shop smiled, "Originally, I said that I would pick it, but the master was afraid that something would go wrong with me, so he went up the mountain himself." ”

"Mr. Dolauzi has bothered, and the younger generation has thanked me here. Chen Rui thanked him very sincerely, the old man was so attentive to his medicine, which was really admirable.

After paying the rest of the money, Chen Rui rushed back to the inn with a large bag of medicinal herbs on his back. Looking at the hill-like medicinal herbs on the table, Chen Rui patted his forehead: "I don't have the tools to cook the medicine, and the people who handed it over to the inn are not at ease..." Dai Xiahu is specialized in alchemy, and there are all kinds of things for cooking medicine, so Chen Rui can find him.

"Please help me to announce it, just say that Chen Rui wants to see your master. Chen Rui knocked on the door.

Dai Gui, who was guarding the door this time, was not as arrogant as yesterday: "Chen Gongzi, the master said that as long as you come to Dai Mansion in the future, you can be directly released." ”

Since Dai Xiahu was so thoughtful, Chen Rui was relieved of a lot of tongues, and he walked directly into the gate and came to the Immortal Ding Pavilion.

There was no one in the Immortal Ding Pavilion at all, and listening to what the doorman said, Dai Xiahu announced that he had closed down, and it seemed that he was preparing to break through to the immortal stage.

Chen Rui arranged the medicinal materials one by one, carefully checked them again, and after confirming that they were correct, he began to meditate and pranayama. The reason why he didn't rush to refine the medicine was that Chen Rui knew it in his heart, he knew that refining the decoction was the same as alchemy, and he had to devote all his energy to doing it, otherwise it would lead to insufficient heat or insufficient water, which would greatly reduce the effect of the decoction and outweigh the losses.

After about half an hour, Chen Rui felt that he was full of energy and extremely comfortable, and then he began to refine the medicine.

He walked into a room made of black stones, and in the middle of it was a row of cauldrons for boiling medicine. These crucibles have distinct priorities and have different roles and usages. Next to the crucible, there are several stone jars where the drug residues are stored, and you can still smell the faint fragrance of medicine. Fortunately, Chen Rui was refining a decoction, not an elixir, and he didn't have to care too much about which crucible he used.

According to the little turtle's words, Chen Rui threw all those medicinal herbs into the largest crucible, and then filled it with water until it was full. With everything ready, Chen Rui covered the heavy stone lid and began to light the charcoal fire under the furnace.

After the charcoal fire burned, Chen Rui could be regarded as officially starting to refine medicine, and he approached the furnace fire and felt the changes in the temperature of the fire. At this moment, he once again remembered the convenience of such things as thermometers, and sighed: "It's still easy to use the tools on the earth......

Time gradually passed, bursts of medicinal fragrance wafted out of the crucible, and Chen Rui's originally tense nerves were also relaxed. But this was only half the way, and he had to increase the heat to make the water in the cauldron boil until steam escaped from the lid.

Thinking of this, Chen Rui added several shovels of charcoal to the bottom of the pot, and the temperature rose again, and even the bottom of the stove was burned red. The smell of the medicine also became more and more intense, and steam began to erupt from the cracks, which can be described as a cloud of steam.

At this point, Chen Rui can finally rest assured, and then he only needs to bake it naturally with the charcoal fire at the bottom of the pot. Listening to the boiling sound of the medicinal juice in the pot, Chen Rui once again recalled the usage of these medicines.

"Divide the potion and residue into two parts, and keep the potion for three times a day in the morning, noon, and evening, for a week. The remaining residue of the alchemy needs to be baked over an open flame until it is all dry, and then..."

......

Chen Rui smelled the pale golden medicinal juice in the bowl, it was very fragrant, he first took a small sip, there was no strange taste, and then he raised his head and drank the medicinal juice in the bowl.

It is worthy of a specially prepared decoction, as soon as the liquid is in his stomach, Chen Rui feels that his whole body begins to heat up, especially the torso that often exerts force, such as hands, feet, limbs, etc. In just a moment, Chen Rui was already a "fire man", his skin was red and sweaty, as if he had just exercised vigorously. However, this is only the beginning, the joints that are often strained in the next part begin to have bursts of pinprick pain, after experiencing the experience of the immortal period, this pain is naturally nothing in front of Chen Rui.

Thinking of the pain when he broke through the immortal stage, Chen Rui laughed suddenly, he forgot to tell Dai Xiahu to pay attention to the pain when he broke through, and he didn't know what kind of scene Dai Xiahu was in now.

After the pinprick of empathy, those joints began to "crackle", and these sounds continued to spread, and finally even Chen Rui's skull sounded like this.

"Remember, the so-called innate realm is nothing more than the limits that the human body can reach. If you want to go up, you must use external forces to make your body change from the inside out. Just like the sword that is constantly tempered, only after continuous burning and extraction, can everything be turned into treasure..."

"The so-called 'strong bone' realm is to sublimate the bones of your whole body to reach the strength of ordinary brute bones, in other words, human bones are not very good, and they must be replaced with more powerful 'beast bones'. In this way, the body will be able to withstand all kinds of trials and tribulations that the body will have to go through in the future...... Although this decoction does not allow you to step directly into the 'strong bones' realm, it can at least make your bones more resilient and can withstand three times the limit of the current pressure you can bear. ”

The appearance of the old man in the mountains when he explained the basics of martial arts was vivid, and Chen Rui had already memorized this knowledge by heart, so he turned a blind eye to the strange sounds made by the bones and let this phenomenon continue.

Half an hour later, the sound of bones was long gone, and Chen Rui immediately looked inward.

The bones all over his body were crawling with dense cracks, which frightened Chen Rui, and he felt that if he walked around, these bones would fall apart. Fortunately, it turned out that Chen Rui was whimsical, and when he moved, not only did the bones not fall apart, but also allowed him to easily use the maximum strength before. In the past, he didn't use his internal strength, and his muscles would shake when he used such a large force, but now even if he doesn't use his internal strength, he can control this strength at will.
