Chapter Sixty-Eight: Eyes Like a Sword

"Now, I'll refine the elixir once, and you will keep all my steps in mind. After I finish refining, you will start refining again, and then decide whether the two of you will stay or go according to the quality of your final refining pills, understand?"

"Understood. ”

"Alright, let's start now. The gray-haired old man's face was slightly grim, and then he took out something like a tree branch from the side and crushed it in the bowl, "This is Tianxin Hemp, it is the first medicinal material for refining Tianxiang Blood Activating Pill, it must be crushed into pieces, the finer the better, otherwise it will affect the final medicinal effect." ”

As he spoke, the gray-haired old man had already crushed Tianxin hemp into something like flour and sprinkled it into the medicine pod.

"The second taste is the purple star flower. Remember, as long as the part of the petals of the purple star flower, the rest should be removed. After speaking, the old man picked up a purple flower and processed it, and after processing, he threw it into the medicine pod again.

"The third is plantain ......"

"The fourth type is the boneless flower ......"

The old man's voice became faster and faster, and his movements began to accelerate, just in less than a stick of incense, he finished processing a full eighteen kinds of medicinal materials, and then sealed the tripod, controlled the fire, annealed, and opened the tripod, all the actions were done in one go, and the clouds flowed smoothly.

With a "flutter", the hundred-pound lid was lifted by the gray-haired old man with one hand, and a large amount of white aerosol sprayed out. But the old man was not affected at all, holding a jade medicine clip and reaching into the medicine pod, accurately pinching out more than a dozen Tianxiang blood invigorating pills from it, putting them in a porcelain bottle and sealing them, turning his head to look at Chen Xuan and Sun Li, "Okay, you should also see the steps I did clearly, then you can start." ”

"Yes. Sun Li responded, and then began to process the first taste ingredients.

First of all, picking up Tianxin Malai, Sun Li recalled the old man's actions before, and at the same time put it into the bowl body, crushed it little by little, and sat as much as possible until it was 100% restored.

And at this time, I heard Chen Xuan on the side say in a somewhat sarcastic tone, "It seems that your medicinal materials are not so good, they are a little old." ”

Sun Li was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Xuan, and happened to see the other party holding a brown Tianxing hemp into the bowl and grinding it roughly. It can be seen with the naked eye that there are still a few drops of dew on it, and once it is crushed, it immediately exudes an earthy smell, and it looks like it has just been dug out of the ground, and the time is definitely not more than an hour, and it is simply fresh and cannot be fresher.

But Sun Li was not much surprised, just shook his head slightly, retracted his gaze, and continued to crush his Tianxin hemp seriously. His own medicinal materials were obtained from the white-robed old man last night, although they were indeed a little old compared to the medicinal materials in Chen Xuan's hands, but the degree of obsolescence was still within an acceptable range, and it did not affect the overall situation, as long as he dealt with it carefully.

At this time, Chen Xuan spoke again, still in a sarcastic tone: "Do you plan to use this medicinal herb that has been kept for I don't know how many years to refine the pill, better than the pill I refined with this freshest medicinal material?" Haha, even if you are really better than me and can refine better than me, then I can only tell you that you will fail as well, because I still have this." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Li saw Chen Xuan take out a cyan fruit from the cloth bag, and shook it like a show off, with a look of confidence in his eyes......

"What is this?" Sun Li was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the fruit in Chen Xuan's hand with a little surprise, and a sense of déjà vu suddenly appeared in his heart.

Chen Xuan, who was on the side, directly began to sneer in a low voice, "What, do you know what this thing is? This thing is called Zhu Guo, just put it in the medicine tripod, you can refine a pill with super medicinal potency, how can you win me?"

Sun Li didn't speak, but remembered the vermilion fruit that the old man gave him last night, compared to the two, it seems that his own one is a little darker, I don't know if it's because of the different years.

Sun Li thought like this, the movements in his hands did not stop, and he continued to process the medicinal materials, and after a while, he finished processing all the medicinal materials and put them into the medicine pod.

On the other hand, Chen Xuan's movements were not slow, almost when Sun Li put in the last medicinal material, he also put his last medicinal material into it, and then gritted his teeth, took out the cyan vermilion fruit that he had shown off before with a bit of pain, gritted his teeth and threw it into the Danding.

Sun Li watched Chen Xuan's movements, his eyes flickered, his hand went to his arms, took out the vermilion fruit that the old man in white robe gave him last night, thought about it, and finally put it into the medicine tripod.

After all, there are some things that it is better to have more certainty.

After that, it is sealing, fire control, annealing, and opening.

"Flutter, flutter" twice, the two tripod covers opened at the same time, and a large stream of white gas spewed out, making the entire cave cloudy, and it took a long time before it dispersed.

The gray-haired old man walked straight over, quickly stretched out the medicine clip, took out a pill from each of the two medicine pods, put it in his mouth, and began to chew.

After half a ring, the old man swallowed the pill with a "coo", turned his head to look at Chen Xuan on the side, and said, "The effect of the medicine is seventy percent." ”

"Seventy percent, so low?" Chen Xuan's face was a little surprised, "I added twenty years of Zhu Guo!"

"Yes, I have tasted the Zhu Guo that you have added for twenty years, if it weren't for the Zhu Guo that added forty percent of the medicinal effect to you, the Heavenly Fragrance Blood Activating Pill you refined would only have thirty percent of the medicinal effect. ”

"Okay. Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment, his face showed a little unwillingness, and then pointed at Sun Li suddenly, "What about him? I'm afraid that the effect of the pill he refined can't reach seventy percent, right?"

"Nope. The gray-haired old man said expressionlessly, "He's reached, to be exact, fourteen percent of the medicinal effect." ”

"Fourteen percent?" Chen Xuan's eyes widened instantly, and it took him a long time to digest this information, his face full of disbelief, "How is this possible? How can the medicinal effect exceed ten percent?"

"How is it impossible to exceed ten percent?" the old man was still expressionless, "Ten percent of the medicinal effect refers to the medicinal effect of the pills refined from the normal medicinal materials recorded in the prescription. In the refining process, increasing the year of the medicinal materials, or adding other medicinal materials according to pharmacology, can exceed 10% of the medicinal effect. ”

"Take the Ding Pill you have refined, for example, if you refine the perfect pill, plus the medicinal power increased by Zhu Guo, it will be fourteen percent of the medicinal effect when you refine it. ”

"What about him?" Chen Xuan pointed at Sun Li again, "Could it be that the pill he refined is perfect?"

"The pill he refined is indeed not perfect, in fact, if it is only considered pure medicinal effect, his only one more medicinal effect than yours, that is, forty percent medicinal effect. ”

"Then how is he 140% effective?"

"For he also added Zhu Guo. The old man spoke slowly, and Chen Xuan's eyes widened.

"Moreover, the year of the vermilion that was added is fifty years, well, to be exact, between fifty-two and fifty-three years. The old man continued to speak, and Chen Xuan's eyes were already as big as copper bells.

"This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" After a long time, Chen Xuan returned to his normal demeanor, still full of disbelief, "How can he have fifty years of Zhu Guo? My master said that there are not many Zhu Guo of more than thirty years in the entire Jinhua Mountain!"

"It doesn't mean much, it's just that there are still some. The gray-haired old man said.

"But, how could he get it?" Chen Xuan said this, and looked at the gray-haired old man sharply, a suspicious look flashing in his eyes.

How could the gray-haired old man not see what Chen Xuan meant, and frowned slightly, "You think I gave him it?"

"Don't dare. ”

"Don't you dare? The gray-haired old man's gaze suddenly sharpened, like two unsheathed swords, shooting straight at Chen Xuan.

With a "bang", Chen Xuan's body shook violently, as if he had been hit by an invisible force, and he stumbled backwards.

One step, two steps, three steps......
