Chapter Forty-Eight: Showing Horses' Feet
Yue Qingwan's pretty face was crimson, she wanted to explain but didn't know where to start, could it be that she told Master Xue that the Ling family's cousin had not harassed her, but that you, an old guy, had come to pester me all day long?
Yun Yi knew that today was a trip for nothing, and it was boring to sit, so he planned to come back another day. However, when he got up, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a book on the stone table, and he couldn't help but stop.
"The Beginning of Alchemy?"
Yun Yixin picked up the book in his hand, looked at it casually for a few times, and then sat back down, his attention quickly devoted to the book.
What is recorded in this book "The Beginning of Alchemy" is about the basics of alchemy, and there are dense fly-headed small blocks on it, which are obviously some experiences written by Yue Qingwan, and it is no longer suitable for Yun Yi to use them to eradicate illiteracy.
Master Xue originally thought that after a reprimand, Yun Yi would turn around and leave, but who knew that he was cheeky and stayed, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and continued to talk about his alchemy experience to Yue Qingwan.
Yun Yi looked very carefully, and after reading it for half an hour, he closed the book, and a disdainful smile hooked on the corner of his lips.
"The medicine of this world was originally refined like this, but that's it!"
Yun Yi had long known that although the pills used in his previous life and the medicines used by the martial artists in this world were made from the same medicinal materials, the concept of refining medicine was actually different. After reading this book "The First Essentials of Alchemy" today, he realized what the essential difference between the two was.
There are two important steps for pharmacists in this world to refine medicines: one is "refining", and the other is "dispensing".
The so-called "refining" is to first refine the essence of medicinal materials in secret methods according to the different requirements of prescriptions and drugs, which is also the most basic skill of pharmacists.
The so-called "matching" is the preparation and synthesis of medicinal essences. This requires a pharmacist to have a lot of experience and precise control ability, and the difference is a thousand miles.
Generally speaking, without more than ten years of experience, even if the prescriptions and medicinal materials are complete, it is difficult for ordinary medicine practitioners to prepare useful medicines.
Although Yun Yi felt that the medicine refining method of this world was novel, he was somewhat disdainful - in terms of pharmaceutical concept alone, the medicine of this world was already inferior.
This method of alchemy, in which the ingredients of medicinal materials are forcibly disassembled, and then put back together, is somewhat similar to Western medicine. Martial artists use drugs to improve martial arts, the effect in the short term is very obvious, and in the long run, with the improvement of martial arts cultivation, the negative impact will be greater.
Moreover, this kind of medicine refining is too utilitarian, and the medicinal effect is of course extremely strong, and the emphasis on the "standard" and the neglect of the "essence" has caused the medicine to lose one thing -- spirituality! Even if there is no spiritual material in heaven and earth, without spirituality, what is refined is only an ordinary medicine, and it is impossible to become a pill.
Yun Yi shook his head secretly, and said in his heart: "This kind of alchemy method, it is okay to learn a little fur, but there is no need to study it deeply. I still had the foresight to not regard taking drugs as a shortcut to improve my martial arts cultivation, if I took it for a long time and formed a drug resistance, there would be endless troubles. ”
Master Xue was talking about Xing, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the disdainful look on Yun Yi's face, and his heart suddenly burst into flames, and he sneered: "What, what I said, what Young Master Ling has to object?
Yun Yi's eyebrows raised, this Master Xue was too domineering. At this time, Steward Qin's voice came from the outer courtyard: "Is Young Master Ling here?"
As soon as the words fell, Steward Qin walked in with a sturdy middle-aged man.
Yun Yi recognized at a glance that this middle-aged man was the Huang master of the Vientiane Building, no need to guess, Yun Yi also knew the purpose of his coming, and was about to invite this Huang master to him, Master Xue jumped up from his seat as if his butt had been burned by fire, nodded and greeted him.
"Master Huang, why did you come here in person? Sit, please take a seat!"
At this moment, Master Xue, where is there still half of the style of the master just now? An old face that was originally full of arrogance turned into a blooming chrysanthemum, and even his voice trembled a little.
It can't all be blamed on this Master Xue's eyebrows and low eyes, this Huang is the head of the Vientiane Lou Strange Medicine Pavilion, and he has the top pharmacist in Moya City under his hands. An idle pharmacist like Master Xue, although Huang can't control it, but his casual words can make it difficult for any pharmacist to gain a foothold in Moya City.
Putting aside the identity of the head of Vientiane Building, Director Huang himself is still a third-grade pharmacist, and in the entire Moya City, the only third-grade pharmacist who can compete with him is the chief pharmacist of Vientiane Building.
With such an identity and status, such a level of alchemy, ordinary pharmacists can only compliment and stammer when they see this Huang in charge.
There is no one in the whole ink cliff city who doesn't know this Huang master, and Master Xue is naturally no exception, but it's a pity that he knows people, but they don't know him at all.
Master Huang was stunned for a moment, nodded politely, then looked at Yun Yi, with a gentle smile on his face, and said, "The head of the meeting asked me to bring something to Young Master Ling, but I couldn't find it everywhere, I didn't expect it to be here." ”
Yun Yi said lightly, "Chu Hui is also resolute, and what was decided yesterday will be sent over today." ”
Director Huang sat down beside Yun Yi, with a hint of apology on his face, "I saw Young Master Ling in the Li family's pharmacy that day, Huang has no beads in his eyes, and he is rude, don't blame Young Master Ling." ”
Master Huang's humble demeanor made Master Xue's eyes turn into dead fish eyes in an instant.
In Master Xue's opinion, no matter how arrogant and domineering this Young Master Ling is, he is just relying on Li Yishen's momentum to do mischief in the Li family. Outside, who would take such a teenager seriously?
Director Huang of Vientiane Building, a third-grade pharmacist, is so polite to this kid, no, there is a little caution and courtesy in the politeness, isn't it a strange thing?
It's just that this kid is still putting on a young master's shelf, looking like a matter of course, it's really weird!
Master Xue rubbed his somewhat stiff face, and finally avoided the danger of facial paralysis, and quickly calculated in his heart.
In any case, there is no doubt that the relationship between this grandson of the head of the family and Master Huang is different. If you want to get in touch with Mr. Huang, it is not a shortcut to pass this young man.
Thinking of this, Master Xue's gaze towards Yun Yi became soft and kind.
After Yue Qingwan was stunned for a while, she secretly glanced at Yun Yi a few times, and felt more and more that this cousin was as deep as an abyss, making it difficult for people to see through.
Yun Yi didn't mean to put up a shelf in front of Master Huang, Chu would first assign this Director Huang to send medicine, he obviously knew some insiders. As a person who is "You Fang Langzhong", if he whispers in front of a principal in Vientiane Building, wouldn't he have a ** share? It will definitely make this Huang principal suspicious.
As Yun Yi expected, his contemptuous behavior not only did not make Huang feel any dissatisfaction, but felt that Yun Yi's bearing was extraordinary, and he said in his heart that he was really trained by that amazing character, and he was still calm and calm in front of him, the head of the Strange Medicine Pavilion of Vientiane Building, which was not comparable to an ordinary teenager.
Director Huang has just won the trust of the new head of the meeting and has been entrusted with important tasks, so he no longer has to worry about losing his position. He knew very well in his heart that all this was directly related to the young man in front of him, and how close he was to this young man was definitely beneficial to him, and he had the heart to make friends on the way here, and he was not in a hurry to say something.
When he was thinking about finding a topic, when he saw the "First Essentials of Refining Medicine" in Yun Yi's hand, Director Huang couldn't help but be stunned, and asked in surprise: "Why is Young Master Ling reading this medicine book?" In his opinion, it was naturally very strange that the people around the great pharmacist actually read the introductory medicine book.
Yun Yi's heart tightened, but his face did not change, and he said with a smile: "It's okay to be idle, watch and play." ”
Master Xue interjected on the side: "Young Master Ling wants to learn alchemy from Miss Qingwan, but who knows that it is unfortunate that I am teaching Qingwan about alchemy. Young Master Ling is extremely talented, since he is interested in learning medicine, I am planning to teach him personally!"
Yue Qingwan shook her head slightly, Master Xue's face was so thick-skinned, she felt blushing, and the maid Xiaocha scolded countless times in her heart for being "old and shameless".
Yunyi was depressed for a while, and he wanted to plug the old sycophant's mouth with cow dung. The god "You Fang Langzhong" didn't ask for advice, but came to learn alchemy from a yellow-haired girl, can you not make Master Huang suspicious?
Sure enough, Director Huang's face was full of confusion and asked, "......Who is this?"
Steward Qin introduced, "This is Master Xue, the pharmacist hired by our Li family. ”
"Master Xue?"
This Master Xue, could it be that You Fang Langzhong? Master Huang was taken aback, hurriedly stood up from the stone bench, and looked at Master Xue with a sense of awe in his eyes.
Although Master Xue was a little confused, he was also very proud of Master Huang's demeanor, and said humbly: "Xue is just a first-class pharmacist, in front of Master Huang, how dare you call yourself a master?"
Director Huang couldn't see through this Master Xue, and he felt more and more puzzled in his heart, but he said very politely: "Master Xue must not be humble, if he can give medicine to Young Master Ling, he is naturally qualified to be called a master." Today, I have the opportunity to listen to the master's high theory, and Huang is also lucky. ”
Master Xue, a first-class pharmacist, can barely pretend to be a senior master in front of Yue Qingwan, how can he dare to get an axe in the class of Director Huang?
But he didn't want to let go of the great opportunity to befriend Director Huang, so he had the intention to show off, and volunteered: "I am about to demonstrate the refining of medicine to Qingwan in person, please give Director Huang some advice!"
"Director Huang has something important to do with me, let's talk about it another day!"
Yun Yi hurriedly stopped. Obviously, Master Huang had a misunderstanding and misunderstood this old guy for that master. After a while, Master Xue will be embarrassed and behaved, and he is afraid that his suspicion will be even heavier.
"Oh?" Master Huang suddenly became excited, and said, "Being able to witness the master's refining of medicine with your own eyes will definitely benefit you a lot. Young Master Ling, let's watch Master Xue refine the medicine first, and we'll talk about it later, okay?"
Master Xue rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Master Huang, please." Qingwan, lead the way!"
Yue Qingwan took Master Xue and Master Huang towards the refining pharmacy, Yun Yi knew that something bad was going to happen, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, but it was difficult to stop him, so he had to follow behind with a hard head, but he was thinking about how to explain to Master Huang and try to dispel his suspicions.
