Chapter Forty-Nine: Pills and People
Early the next morning, Xiao Xue came to Han Yue's courtyard as usual, saw a familiar cyan back at the entrance of the courtyard, slapped him on the shoulder and smiled: "Xiaoyunzi, what are you doing at the door." ”
Nie Yun was frightened, but after seeing that it was Xiao Xue, he showed a look of surprise: "It's nothing, I was thinking about things just now, let's go in." As he spoke, he pushed Xiao Xue's shoulders and walked towards the courtyard.
"Inexplicably, take your hands away, Miss Ben will go by herself." Xiao Xuehu glanced at Nie Yun suspiciously, muttered in her mouth, opened the courtyard door and walked in.
"Yueyue, Yueyue, get up!" As soon as Xiao Xue entered the door, she went straight to Han Yue's house, but before she could reach the front of the house, the door was gently pushed open by a pair of jade hands.
"Xiaoxue, what's wrong?" Han Yue looked at Xiao Xue, who was slightly stunned, and smiled slightly.
"Ah, it's nothing, Yueyue got up weirdly early this time." Xiao Xue reacted, took Han Yue's arm and pointed at Nie Yun, who was a little cowering behind him, and said with a smile: "Yueyue, did this kid make a mistake again, he saw him at your door early in the morning, and he wanted to enter but didn't dare to come in." ”
"You... You don't talk nonsense. Nie Yunsheng blushed and argued: "I'll sue you for slander!" ”
"Hee-hee, what a big reaction." Xiao Xue glanced at Nie Yun, whose face was flushed, but became even more curious, gently shaking Han Yue's arm and laughing, "Yueyue, what is Xiao Yunzi doing?" ”
"Hmm... I don't know. Han Yue's snow-white chin was slightly raised, as if she was contemplative, and after a while, she turned her gaze to Nie Yun and said suspiciously: "Senior brother, you... What's wrong? ”
“?” Nie Yun's eyes widened slightly, and he was a little confused for a while, until he saw Han Yue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and then he suddenly realized: "I said that I was thinking about things, and Xiao Xue still slandered me, didn't it make me anxious." ”
"Look at you like that, people who don't know think what's wrong with you." Han Yue chuckled and responded.
Xiao Xuehu glanced at the two suspiciously, and suddenly looked at Nie Yun and said, "Then what are you thinking?" ”
"Thinking... I think about alchemy! Nie Yun was slightly stunned, and said in a hurry: "I've been thinking about how to improve the Hui Qi Pill recently, and just now at the door, I suddenly had an inspiration, I feel that this enhanced version of the Hui Qi Pill is already a bit eyebrow-raising, wait for me to make it and try it for you..."
"Shouldn't you honor your senior sister first?" Han Yue's red lips pursed slightly, and she curled up her jade fingers and knocked on Nie Yun's head, and said with a proud face.
"Yes, yes! When the time comes, I must send it to my senior sister first. Nie Yun wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead: "Let's go quickly, Master Zhao Gou hates students being late the most!" ”
Looking at this scene of sister and brother filial piety, Xiao Xue's originally suspicious expression gradually dissipated, and she grabbed Han Yue's arm and smiled: "Let's go." ”
"Whew..."The senior sister and brother breathed a sigh of relief.
"Senior sister's acting skills are really... It's amazing. Nie Yun, who was following behind, secretly thought that suddenly he stumbled, and it turned out that an embroidered shoe kicked on his calf.
Han Yue and Xiao Xue turned their heads at the same time, with a hint of doubt in their eyes.
"Hehe... There was a stone on the road just now, and I tripped over it. Nie Yun looked at Senior Sister with a puzzled and innocent look on her face, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
"Be careful!" Although the two women spoke in unison, their tones were completely different, one tone was mocking and sarcastic, while the other seemed to have a little bit of it... Shame and gnashing of teeth.
Because of Xiao Xue's existence, Han Yue and Nie Yun have never had the opportunity to be alone, so they took Han Yue to the Spirit Rune Hall after class.
"I'll teach you a good lesson tonight." A thin mosquito flew to Nie Yun's ear.
Nie Yun was slightly stunned and watched the two graceful backs slowly shrink in his sight, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should be happy or continue to suffer, so he sighed with a headache and walked in the direction of the Alchemy Hall.
......
In the No. 9 alchemy room, Nie Yunpan sat on the futon, looking at the pale red pill in his hand, his brows furrowed slightly: "The nine medicinal materials of this Bone Bone Pill are clearly not related to bones, why can they be combined to have the effect of bone growth?" ”
He had already refined more than a dozen Bone Pills, and each time he carefully observed the fusion feedback between the various medicinal properties, but he still couldn't find an answer.
"Looks like I'm going to have to ask Master Li." Nie Yun shook his head helplessly, got up and came to the stone door of the No. 1 alchemy room.
This Bone Pill was originally created by Li Fuzi, and no one can match his understanding of the Bone Pill.
After waiting for a long time, the black stone door in front of him suddenly opened.
Nie Yun bowed slightly: "Master, the student has a question about the Bone Pill that he wants to ask. ”
"Hehe, come in and talk about it." Li Fuzi smiled faintly, beckoned Nie Yun in, and then closed the stone door again: "Speaking of which, this is the first time you have asked me a question about alchemy." ”
"The students did have a tough problem this time." Nie Yun touched the back of his head with some embarrassment.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, Nie Yun himself preferred to study alone, and he enjoyed the process of gradually solving the problem.
"Tell me, there was a problem with refining which elixir." Li Fuzi nodded, and he was also a little curious about the problem of being able to difficult Nie Yun, after all, Nie Yun was already a person who could refine the Fire Spirit Pill, and the entire Alchemy Hall dared to say that the level was higher than him, except for himself, I am afraid that there were only a few old students who had been enrolled for four years, and those old students were also busy with the graduation tasks of the University Hall at this time, and they rarely came to the Alchemy Hall.
"It's a problem with the Bone Pill." Nie Yun continued: "Thinking that this is the Danfang you created, I came to ask for advice. ”
"Raw Bone Pill? Didn't you know how to practice it a long time ago? A trace of doubt flashed in Li Fuzi's eyes, if it was other students who had just entered the school who asked this question, maybe he would be happier, it was already a great thing to come into contact with this more complex Bone Pill after only studying alchemy for a few months.
And it was Nie Yun who asked this question, it was different, how could this mere Bone Pill stump him? What's more, as early as the Alchemy Hall Great Competition, Nie Yun had already successfully refined this pill, so there shouldn't be any more problems.
"That's right, I've been studying the Bone Pills for a long time, and his ingredients are all Huoyun Fruit, Spirit Grass, and Blood Mushroom..."Nie Yun frowned slightly, and said endlessly: "In my understanding, the fusion of these nine medicinal properties should greatly strengthen one's own hematopoietic ability, but when these nine medicinal properties are combined, it seems that all of a sudden the characteristics of raw bones are produced, and I have never understood this." ”
Li Fuzi was slightly stunned after hearing this, and did not answer Nie Yun's question for the time being, and said in surprise: "You are already studying this?" ”
This is almost an analysis of the essence of the elixir, which is something that a real master ponders!
It is precisely because of this part of the alchemists' gradual understanding of the essence of the pill that there is such a sentence in the alchemy world, the ultimate dream of all alchemists: everything in heaven and earth can become a pill.
"Uh... I'll just think about it. Nie Yun didn't understand why Li Fuzi reacted so much, but after seeing it, he almost naturally pondered these things, and was obsessed and intoxicated by them.
"It's a good idea." Li Fuzi also seemed to realize his gaffe, and then slightly retracted the expression on his face and smiled: "You just said that the nine medicinal properties of the Bone Pill, in your understanding, should greatly enhance your own blood-forming ability, which is actually true. ”
"Then why..."Nie Yun's eyes showed a hint of puzzlement.
"As for why you suddenly have the quality of raw bones, hehe, it's because your vision is a little limited." Li Fuzi shook his head with a smile and said: "Under normal circumstances, the bone marrow is the only organ in the body that can make blood, and strengthening the ability to make blood is essentially strengthening the bone marrow, which is what you call the sudden bone production trait." ”
"I see!" Nie Yun showed a hint of abruptness, he had been obsessed with the source of the characteristics of raw bones, but he had neglected the human body itself.
"Your cultivation is still too shallow, and you are still at the level of headache and foot pain, you must learn to focus on the overall situation and solve the root of the problem." Li Fuzi said earnestly: "Remember, the pills are ultimately taken by people, and a good alchemist's understanding of the human body must be at its peak. ”
Nie Yun nodded thoughtfully, bowed slightly, and left the No. 1 alchemy room.
"The so-called heaven and earth can become a pill, maybe it can be said in another way." Nie Yun, who was sitting on the futon and frowned slightly, suddenly showed a smile: "Everything in heaven and earth can be used for oneself. ”
"No wonder some pills have to add a few herbs to curb their own medicinal properties..."As soon as he thought of this, it suddenly became clear, and the originally somewhat incomprehensible problem was solved, Nie Yun shook his head and chuckled: "I thought that I couldn't understand my own plants and trees, and I couldn't see the secret connection between them, but it was so simple." ”
All pills are ultimately given to people, it's as simple as that!
Nie Yun, who had understood this layer, felt the thoughts in his head emerge one after another, and then smiled lightly, put his hands on the ice demon's top wall, and the milky white qi slowly gushed out from his palm, hooking the red flames.
With the toss between the arms, one after another herbs of various colors were thrown into the ding, and the herbs slowly turned into medicinal liquid, and gradually fused together, becoming round...
I don't know how long it took, but the stone door of the No. 9 alchemy room was banged open again.
Nie Yun looked over blankly, and a middle-aged man in a dark robe was looking at him angrily.
"Ahh Master, I have forgotten the time again. Nie Yun glanced at the hourglass in the corner and scratched his head in embarrassment.
Walking out of the alchemy hall, which was a little hot and dry, the cold wind outside was blowing, and Nie Yun squinted comfortably, but suddenly, Nie Yun's eyes opened suddenly, cold sweat rinsed down, and his legs kicked, and he directly performed the Eight Transformations of Shenxing, and rushed towards the direction of the small courtyard.
