Chapter 50: A New Way
"Still no. Zhou Kun couldn't help but shake his head as he watched the green herbs turn to ashes again.
"Boy, someone's coming. The bookworm snapped up.
"Who?" Zhou Kun asked suspiciously.
The bookworm smiled, jumped off the table, climbed into Zhou Kun's arms, and said, "That little girl is coming to you, is this seat right? ”
Zhou Kun ignored the bookworm's divine logic, and wondered why the woman in black came.
"The sneaky appearance seems to have slipped in while the people in the Lin family's medicine workshop were not paying attention. This really doesn't work, the precaution of the medicine refining workshop is too poor, if someone practices the elixir in the future, wouldn't it be easy to be robbed. The bookworm snorted a few times, shook its head and said.
Zhou Kun was reminded by the bookworm, and also noticed that there seemed to be a black shadow outside the window, if he hadn't been reminded, he would definitely not have been able to find it.
He didn't pay any attention to it, turned around and took a green herb in advance, and decided to continue refining.
Mo Qingyao, who was outside the door, stood in the corner secretly and looked in through a gap.
In fact, the guards of the medicine refining workshop are very strict, but the Mo family and the Lin family have always been friends, the two medicine shops are open face to face, and they have never hurt the peace, only the two old men fight each other when they have nothing to do, but they seem to pity the juniors in each other's family.
Mo Qingyao easily entered the inner hall of the Lin family's medicine workshop, bypassed a few guards, and easily ran into the area of the medicine refining room, she checked one by one, but she didn't expect to find Zhou Kun in the first room.
"Hmph, the thief is really incompetent, and his realm is a little higher than others, and he can't even refine an ordinary medicinal herb, it seems that Daddy has misunderstood, this person is not a master of alchemy. Mo Qingyao was smart and clever, and when she saw that Zhou Kun's refining movements were very stiff and unfamiliar, she guessed the roughly.
"It doesn't matter how strong or weak the flame is, you have to wrap the herbs with runes to control the heat of the herbs, are all thieves so stupid?" Mo Qingyao continued to underestimate in her heart.
But soon, her expression froze, and her face was incredible.
......
"It worked. Zhou Kun showed a hint of joy on his face, watching the green herbs being restrained by ink-colored runes, suspended in the Dan furnace, and slowly sublimated under refining, showing signs of melting.
He had mastered the control of the runes, maintaining the heating temperature of the herbs under the fire, so that the herbs could be slowly refined, so that the flames would not be too fierce and turn into ashes directly.
Seeing that everything was going well, Zhou Kun also forgot that there was a woman in black peeking outside the window, reached out and took out the second herb again, and sent it to the Dan furnace for refining.
In just an instant, when he focused his attention on this herb, the first herb suddenly turned to ashes.
He understood that this was a loss of control of the fire by the runes, and that a lack of attention would cause the flames to over-refine it, leading to failure.
Seeing that another medicinal herb was scrapped, Zhou Kun shook his head lightly and took the medicine and started again......
As a result, he failed several times in a row, and he began to suspect that his method was wrong, but he could not find the reason, all of which were completed according to the steps recorded in the "Alchemy", but he never succeeded.
"This thief is also too greedy, he has just learned to refine the first medicinal herb, and he wants to refine two strains at the same time at once, but he is not proficient at all, even I have studied refining medicine for so many years, and I have just been able to control six medicinal herbs at the same time, and I can rank among the top three in the academy. Mo Qingyao didn't like Zhou Kun's various behaviors, but she wanted to see it.
In his heart, he always criticized Zhou Kun's behavior, and even unconsciously compared himself.
......
"Boy, the difficulty of refining medicine lies in the control of the fire, but to put it bluntly, it is actually the mastery of your own soul and runes, to be subtle to the extreme, you are already making rapid progress now, if you continue like this, within seven days, you should be able to complete the control of the two medicinal herbs. The bookworm knew that Zhou Kun had failed again, so he said.
"Seven days?" Zhou Kun felt that it was too long, this ordinary pill needed to be condensed by five flavor herbs, it would take seven days to master two medicinal herbs, and it might take several months if it wanted five flavors.
"This has nothing to do with perception, and it requires high technical proficiency, so maybe you can try the rule replication of the X2 generation. After Zhou Kun muttered to himself in his heart, he decided to give it a try.
Since he found out that the X2 generation was harmful to his cultivation perception, he hadn't used the X2 generation again, but the alchemy technique had some constant numerical rules, for example, this medicine needed a temperature of one hundred to refine, and the other strain needed two hundred, and the responsibility of the alchemist was to multi-use, and at the same time control the refining of these medicinal materials.
And the rule replication of the X2 generation may be of great use.
Thinking of this, Zhou Kun exhaled the x2 generation, refining the green herbs again, and after the x2 generation analyzed the melting point of the herbs, he began to parse them into rules and replicate them.
"The melting point of the herb is being calculated, and it is expected to take ten minutes. "With the rules of the first herb, x2** began to simulate the second herb.
Zhou Kun did not stop, and continued to take out the third, fourth, and fifth plants.
"The melting point of the herb is being calculated, and it is expected to be fifteen minutes. "The x2 generation does not refuse, and every time an additional herb is added, one more rule is calculated.
"Boy, what are you doing? If you want to hurry, you have to slowly master that balance, if you throw five herbs at once, you will definitely fail. The bookworm sensed Zhou Kun's behavior and immediately said.
"I thought of a new alchemy. Zhou Kun said this, but he wrapped those herbs in layers of runes, trying not to be turned into ashes by the flames, but there was no sign of melting.
"It's not going to work. The bookworm shook his head.
Mo Qingyao, who was outside the window, also saw this scene, and was full of astonishment, then covered her mouth and almost laughed.
"This lewd thief is not only greedy, but also a fool, how can anyone refine medicine like this, even the teacher has to carry out simple refining one by one first, and then slowly control it with runes, and finally ten medicinal materials can be refined at the same time, this person throws five plants in at once, how can it be successful, besides, he is still a beginner. ”
......
"The calculation is successful, and the new rule is established. ”
An hour passed, and Zhou Kun finally heard the message from the X2 generation, and at the same time, he removed the runes on the herbs, and the five herbs immediately turned into ashes, and he took out the Dan furnace.
"Sure enough, just like Miss Ben thought, it still failed. Hmph, since I'm a fool, then it's much easier for me to take revenge, I originally wanted to wait for Brother Lin to come back and ask him to help me teach this dead thief a hard lesson, but now it seems that with Miss Ben's intelligence, it is enough to teach him a lesson. Mo Qingyao was in a good mood when she saw it, her mouth puffed out, her eyes rolled, and she began to think about her revenge plan.
"Well, in the end, it failed. The bookworm teased, "Although I don't know how to refine pills, I have also seen powerful alchemy, and that kind of absolute control over medicinal materials and heat must be the result of experience after countless failures, and I have never seen anyone control multiple herbs at once." ”
"Really?" Zhou Kun showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, and after answering a sentence, he took out a medicinal herb again.
The five herbs were wrapped in ink-colored runes and flew towards the Dan furnace again.
"Boy, it's useless to lose your temper, it's just a waste of medicinal herbs. The bookworm squinted at this.
"Why does this lewd thief continue? Doesn't he know that he has completely deviated from the guidance of Alchemy?" Mo Qingyao looked even more puzzled outside the window, "Could it be that he is even more stupid than I imagined?"
