Volume 1: A Boy Comes from the Mountains Chapter 26: Refining Wandan (I)
In the early morning of the next day, the morning breeze got up early in the morning as usual, and walked alone in the darkness before dawn.
"Pap" Chenfeng retracted his fist, and just took a breath and prepared to use the unknown breathing and breathing method, when suddenly there was a crisp applause from the roof.
Chenfeng turned around, and a black shadow swished in front of him, with a habitual lewd smile on his face, who else could Lian Chengyu be.
"Even if the old man is a notoriously piercing eye, I have to say that your kid's punch is a little interesting. Lian Chengyu first laughed at himself, and then sighed cheaply.
Morrowind rolled his eyes, I really didn't know who the old man was praising was. If you don't sleep in the morning, you stay on the roof like a night owl, but fortunately, this is yourself, if you are Chen Qingqing, you can't be frightened?
Looking at Chenfeng's speechless expression, Lian Chengyu rubbed his hands awkwardly and smiled, seemingly a little embarrassed. Seeing that Chenfeng was gone, he looked left and right for a while before pretending to be mysterious and said: "Boy, although there are still three months before you are only eight years old before you can officially start practicing qi cultivation." But Yun Shan and his entourage, I didn't expect that you would have learned Lord Yinggu's forging fire decision, and you would have started practicing qi in advance. On the premise that the meridians have been opened, there are many hidden dangers. ”
Chenfeng looked at Lian Chengyu and blinked, not worried, waiting for Lian Chengyu's next words.
Sure enough, Lian Chengyu immediately changed his demeanor of being a master and a man of the world, stroked his beard, and said slowly: "Of course, who am I, these questions may be enough to bother your kid for three and five years, and it is just easy to come here in the old man's place, haha." Don't worship me. ”
"It's three months away, but I don't know how to do alchemy. Morrowind quickly changed the subject, and also said his request in passing.
"Cut, and I've learned to get away with it, good boy. Lian Chengyu understood the subtext of Chenfeng in seconds, and his face was disdainful, but he still looked confident.
"The meal should be eaten one bite at a time, and the road should be taken step by step, so take it. Even Chengyu didn't have the heart to tease Chenfeng, so he threw Chenfeng a bamboo tube.
"This is a complete turtle breath and breath method, and you can explore it yourself when you have time. Lian Chengyu said: "As for alchemy, let's start today." Three months is enough. ”
"Ghost Breath Breath Method?" "Morrowind finally knew the name of the method he cultivated, and he kept this name in his heart.
Chenfeng smiled, took the bamboo slips, and saw Lian Chengyu touching his stomach, so he consciously ran into the room to work.
A little, green smoke rose from the chimney, and the morning breeze squatted in front of the stove while lighting the fire, while carefully opening the bamboo slips and looking at it.
On the bamboo slips that feel cold to the touch, there is an engraved sentence of the turtle breath and the law of the turtle breath that Lian Chengyu said, which is engraved, not written. The words on the bamboo slips are small and exquisite, and the morning light exudes a faint silver light, which is not ordinary at a glance, and the morning breeze can't put it down.
Morrowind roughly skimmed through the previous sections, and for the time being, he couldn't tell whether this method was good or bad, or how good it was. The short length of the turtle breath is mostly about the routes and tricks of the flow of breath in the body, and what I have practiced before is only a small part of the front.
Chenfeng continued to look down until he saw the end written, "The greatest perfection, hidden in the air, with heaven and earth." "The morning breeze was shocked, and it was really a bit of a doorway.
However, as this breakfast was almost over, Chenfeng also restrained his thoughts, and today was the day to start alchemy. The rice must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be taken step by step, Lian Chengyu's sentence is still very reasonable.
During breakfast, Chenfeng devoured it, and after the first one finished eating, he wiped his mouth with his hand, and sat quietly at the table watching Lian Chengyu chew slowly.
Chen Qingqing looked at Chenfeng's appearance with some curiosity, and guessed that there was a request for Lian Chengyu, so he also turned his face to look at Lian Chengyu.
"Hey, I'm convinced, I'm not afraid of thieves, I'm afraid of thieves. Wait!" Lian Chengyu couldn't stand it anymore, so he scolded and put down the bowl and turned around and went to his room.
"Well, take it, let's see for myself first, can we wait for the old man to finish eating. Lian Chengyu went and returned, threw something like a black pot on the table, and continued to eat with his head buried in a huff.
Morrowind smiled, and hurriedly took the objects on the table, hugged them in his arms, and looked at them carefully.
This is a small gray tripod, one foot high, the surface is engraved with dragons and phoenixes, and there is a faint smell of plants and trees constantly wafting out of the tripod. It's a pity that Xiaoding is a little damaged, with one ear and three legs, missing one ear and one foot, otherwise it would be considered good in the eyes of Morrowind.
"This is the alchemy furnace, and it doesn't seem to be incompatible with everyone on the outside. Morrowind looked at it for a while and couldn't help but muttered to himself.
"Hmph!" Hearing this, Lian Chengyu let out a heavy nasal voice.
"The three major prerequisites for refining medicine, herbs, medicine furnaces, and alchemists are all indispensable, you kid can't look down on the old man's furnace, are you still going to take the black pot on the stove?" Lian Chengyu smiled angrily.
"I didn't say that your stove is not good, but it's just a little different from the one that Aunt Ying painted. Morrowind immediately smiled, and when he said a little, he gestured with two fingers.
Lian Chengyu suddenly choked, not knowing what to say. After a slight pause, Lian Chengyu gave up the bickering, sighed and said, "Don't clean up yet, don't waste time." ”
The morning breeze understood, and like a gust of wind, he put away the dishes and chopsticks on the table and went to the kitchen.
"I've told you a lot about this alchemy before, and you should have read a lot of it in the book yourself. But most of those are only theories, just on paper. From today onwards, you can really start learning alchemy, understand?" Lian Chengyu sat upright, looking at Chen Feng and Chen Qingqing, who were sitting on his left and right, and said.
Chenfeng nodded in understanding, Chen Qingqing smiled slightly, and did not speak.
"There are three steps in refining medicine, condensing medicinal materials, turning pills, and collecting medicines. ”
"Condensing medicinal materials is the foundation, and it is necessary to condense the herbs into a liquid state in the Dan furnace with the help of fire, but not too much damage to the medicinal herbs, which requires the vitality to protect the furnace, the Dan fire to protect the medicine, etc. ”
"Hua Dan is an important process step in refining medicine, the operation is very simple, control your own vitality and flame, and condense the refined liquid potion into a solid pill on the premise of protecting the loss of medicinal properties. There's not much to say about this step, you can only rely on personal talent and practice. ”
"As for the third step of collecting medicine, although there are many formulas and techniques for collecting medicine in the outside world, there are many people who can't do it. Because in the final analysis, collecting medicine is not only to summarize the residual medicinal properties and as much heaven and earth vitality as possible into the Cheng Dan, but more importantly..., forget it, let's talk about it then, you may not understand it now. ”
Chenfeng was listening attentively, and Lian Chengyu suddenly said so, interrupting his own narration. Morrowind had no choice but to nod helplessly, master the basics first, and those things will have the opportunity to learn later.
"The pill is divided into nine products, and each product is divided into primary, intermediate and high-grade. The corresponding alchemists are also divided into nine ranks, with a total of twenty-seven growth stages. ”
"A pint of pills is just a simple combination of medicinal herbs, and if you don't go to the hall of elegance, you can easily come to the rivers and lakes. The second grade of the pill is just an improvement in quality compared with the first grade of the pill, and the efficacy of the medicine is basically the same. ”
"Starting from the third grade, it can barely be called a pill, and the third-grade primary pill contains the aura of heaven and earth, which is essentially different from the first and second grade pills. ”
......
For a whole morning, the jade mouth was like a river, from the alchemy method, to the pill level, to the alchemist, there were all kinds of things.
Lian Chengyu spoke with a dry mouth, and the morning breeze also had a dry mouth.
Through Lian Chengyu's narration, it completely opened a door to the future for Chenfeng. From this moment on, he no longer simply longed to see the outside world and wanted to go out and see, but had more things in his heart to pull him forward.
"Don't daydream, there's still a long way to go. Lian Chengyu looked at the morning breeze who was a little dazed, and said with a smile: "Before you officially start refining the pill, there are two things that must be done first. ”
"What's the matter?" Morrowind asked.
"One is flame control, and the other is the structure of the alchemy furnace. In particular, the control of flames is a crucial factor affecting the quantity and quality of elixirs, and should not be sloppy. The size of the fire, the temperature, and the timing of the fire are all important. Lian Chengyu replied.
"How can it be considered that it can be properly controlled and reach the level of refining medicine?"
Lian Chengyu suddenly ran out of words, how can it be considered okay? After thinking about it for a while, Lian Chengyu smiled and said: "When you use your own flame to roast meat, you want it to be medium-cooked, and it can be three-minute." ”
Chenfeng nodded, thoughtful, and secretly said in his heart that he was really strict. It seems that he will have to work on the Yan Eater next.
As for the structure of the Dan furnace, the morning breeze is not in a hurry, and there is a detailed diagram in the handbook of Aunt Ying who got it back from Yunshan.
