Chapter 37: Alchemy

The car galloped all the way to the Baicaotang in the old town of the magic capital.

Baicaotang is a time-honored brand that has been inherited for 500 years, in addition to providing ordinary people with a variety of traditional Chinese medicine, it also provides spiritual plants and pills for Xuan Xiu.

When I was young, I followed my grandfather a few times, and I was no stranger to the doorway.

After entering the door, a girl in a plain Han shirt and neatly combed long hair in front of the counter bowed slightly to me gently.

"Sir, may I ask you what you need?"

Zhao Dailei skillfully took out a black card from her pocket, "Mr. Zhuge , I still have more than 100,000 left in this membership card, you can buy it as you like."

I shook my head, "I can't spend the money on your card."

Immediately, I picked up the Changqingmu Zhentai in front of the counter and turned it over, revealing the yin and yang fish pattern inside.

"Northwest Xuanmen, known as the Eight Formations, came to visit."

The girl's attitude became respectful, "It turned out to be a member of the Zhuge family. Please sit upstairs in a private room, and our shopkeeper will be there shortly."

We followed the girl upstairs to a quaint room on the second floor.

There were two maids in green shirts, one was in charge of burning incense, and the other was making tea for us.

The moment the hot water rushes in, the fragrance of tea overflows.

Zhao Dailei took a sip of tea, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise, "Oh my God! I...... It's the first time in my life that I've drunk such good tea!"

The maid did not speak, but left with a slight smile.

I opened the teacup and said, "The tea leaves in Baicaotang belong to spiritual tea, which cannot be bought in the mortal world, and will only be provided to the guests of the Xuanmen."

"Baicaotang is divided into the inner hall and the outer hall, you buy medicine and see a doctor on weekdays, you are in the outer hall, and only the Xuanmen newspaper your own name can enter the inner hall."

After a while, a beautiful woman dressed in palace clothes and with meticulous hair bowed slightly to me.

"The shopkeeper of the Demon Capital of Baicaotang, the little girl Zhuojun, see the people of Zhuge Sect, please ask for your surname."

"Zhuge Hidden Dragon."

I didn't continue to greet Zhuo Jun, and said straight to the point: "I need a good stove for alchemy, and I will take a look at all the things at the bottom of the box in your shop." Look at the book

"Okay, wait a minute."

After a while, the maid held the two incense burners and placed them on the table.

The first wooden box opened, the whole body was splendid, inlaid with jade and agate, the size of the palm was carved extraordinarily finely, and the hollowed out part had a total of that air intake, and the position of the orifice was carved into the shape of a dragon.

At the bottom of the box, the price is indicated: 1.88 million.

I glanced at it and waved my hand, "Don't fool people with broken things."

Zhuo Jun looked at me in surprise, and then chuckled and opened another wooden box, which contained a gray Dan furnace.

There are four blowholes in total, a mouth, and a messy inscription on it, which looks a little ugly.

At the bottom of the incense burner is marked the price: eighty-eight thousand.

I put the incense burner in my hand, weighed it twice, and then decided directly, "I bought this thing, borrow it from your house fire."

"Don't, Mr. Zhuge ."

Zhao Dailei took out her bank card from her pocket like a little rich woman, "I have money in my pocket, we don't need to use bad things."

Zhuo Jun smiled, "Mr. Zhuge , your inner man is really caring."

Zhao Dailei blushed and lowered her head, and I explained, "Xuanmen magic weapons, isn't it that the more beautiful things are, the more useful they are."

"For example, the incense burner in my hand is a basic model made of dark iron, which has been sold in Baicaotang for more than 300 years, and the structure is simple and reliable."

Zhao Dailei nodded thoughtfully, "But where do you want to add firewood to this thing?"

"You'll find out later."

I grabbed the stove and followed Zhuo Jun to the basement.

Pushing open the black stone door, there is a small room of about 20 square meters.

In the center of the room, a fist-sized pit was dug with refractory bricks around it

A high platform was made of a dark red flame, about the size of a candle wick, burning in it.

I frowned a little disappointed, "That's too small."

Zhuo Jun's face was ashamed, "I'm sorry Mr. Zhuge , the Baicaotang in the coastal and southwest regions is relatively scarce in materials, and there is only such a cluster of earth fires."

"Forget it, I'll try."

I sat down cross-legged, arranged the medicinal materials collected by Zhao Dailei on the ground one by one in order, and adjusted my breath to prepare for alchemy.

Zhao Dailei and Zhuo Jun stood not far away, trying to suppress the sound of breathing, for fear of disturbing me.

Spiritual power was poured into the alchemy furnace, and the black furnace was suspended in the air out of thin air, and the earth fire slowly scorched the heart of the furnace, and gradually a smell of burnt paste could be smelled.

A minute later, the gray stove turned red, and the runes on it shimmered with golden light.

The herbs were drilled into the furnace one after the other in order, and the four pores spewed out burning impurities.

The essence of the liquid medicine fused in the center, gradually turning into an air mass the size of a steamed bun, and collapsed little by little under the scorching heat of the earth.

After collapsing almost completely, two pills the size of pigeon eggs erupted from the mouth of the furnace.

Looking at the pill in my hand that exuded a medicinal fragrance, I was slightly disappointed, "The flame temperature is not enough, and it is only half of the medicinal properties, and this Peiyuan Pill is not complete."

After saying that, I threw the pill directly into my mouth.

In an instant, the dantian instantly poured into the vigorous spiritual power, and some turbid qi was faintly forced out from the Heavenly Spirit Acupoint, and the breath of the whole person was much stronger.

Unfortunately, because of the lack of efficacy, I couldn't really get into the house.

There are different levels of monasticism, and the first level is 'Innocent Taoist.'

This 'naivety' does not mean innocence, but the innate true qi enters the body, and the forging body is flawless, and it can live for a hundred years without disease or disaster.

There are many Taoist people who have been handed down from generation to generation, all of whom are naïve Taoists, who are full of energy even if they are past their prime, sitting cross-legged on the ground before they die, smiling and waiting for the end of their death.

Ordinary Taoists, this step is the end.

The second rank is 'Immortal Taoist.'

Similarly, this name cannot simply be understood as a Taoist priest who has become an immortal.

The so-called 'immortals' are out-of-body souls, and the original gods are immortals.

For example, in myths and legends, Tie Guan Li is an out-of-body soul, traveling thousands of miles at night to go to a meeting with immortals, and then his out-of-body body was burned by a stupid apprentice, and he had no choice but to possess the corpse of a lame beggar.

All monks can enter the world after they have descended from the mountain at the age of eighteen.

The first eighteen years were all about laying the foundation. After eighteen years, you can work steadily and gradually cultivate.

So I have no theoretical foundation, and I can only grit my teeth at the night wandering god.

If you want to kill this guy, you must first cultivate into a naïve Taoist.

It was useless to take one pill and then another pill with the same effect, so I threw the pill on the table and got up to leave.

Fortunately, the remaining medicinal materials are enough to refine Pei Yuan Dan again, and you only need to find a good fire.

"Wait!"
