Chapter Ninety-Six: Alchemy
"Fifteen taels of silver together." The pharmacy shopkeeper put away the abacus.
Hearing his words, Chu Zheng felt that his heart was dripping blood.
After he came out of the tailor's shop, he came to this pharmacy, ready to make money by alchemy.
It's just that he never thought that the medicine here would be so expensive, just buying twenty pairs of each of the Mighty Pill and the Zengyuan Pill, it cost fifteen taels of silver.
You must know that these fifteen taels of silver are already worth the expenses of an ordinary family of four for a year or two.
"It's hard to make money." Chu Zheng was thinking about all the things he had when he searched for the corpse, and he sighed a little in his heart.
Although, he can use Forbidden Coins to buy silver on the exchange. But if it wasn't necessary, Chu Zheng didn't want to do it.
Silver is easy to get, but forbidden coins are not so easy to get.
And beyond that, the source of the large amount of silver is not easy to explain.
You must know that there are now a minimum of ten forbidden coins outside.
If he sells ten, it will be eight thousand taels.
If someone finds out and investigates it deeply, it will also be a troublesome matter.
"Here you go." Chu Zheng nodded, took out fifteen taels of silver from his arms, and handed it to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper took the silver, checked it himself, weighed it again, and then nodded, "That's right." ”
After saying that, he turned his head and asked the apprentice to prepare the medicine.
At this time, Chu Zheng boredly turned over the forbidden exchange.
It's a pastime for him.
It's similar to visiting an online mall in a previous life.
Moreover, Chu Zheng did gain some insight here.
A lot of weird things are coming out of here.
There are wild treasures, as well as all kinds of strange materials, intelligence, and so on.
In addition, Chu Zheng even saw someone who clearly marked the price and took the order to kill people.
It's just that maybe it's because many people are still sensible, the exercises on the shelves today are only second-rate at the highest, and the items are only second-rate.
"There shouldn't be anyone who will put the town sect exercises on the shelves, right?" This thought popped into Chu Zheng's mind.
This taboo exchange, after all, is still a real name.
If any disciple dares to put on the sect's exercises, he may be approached by the sect immediately.
"Huh......" At this moment, Chu Zheng sighed lightly in his heart, he had really discovered a first-class exercise.
Broken Moon Formula: First-class exercises, for the Yin exercises, created by Zhou Xingyu, the master of the moon fasting two hundred years ago, the exercises go straight to the realm of the grandmaster. When you reach the realm of the upper three grades, you may comprehend the artistic conception of the broken moon. Price: 1000 Forbidden Coins. Listed by: Jiang Huizhen.
Seeing this exercise, Chu Zheng fell into deep thought.
He remembered the Moon Lord who died some time ago, could it be that after the Moon Lord died, did some people think that it was not possible to cut the moon fast?
But although the Moon Lord is dead, the current Moon Cutting Zhai is still a top-level sect.
This kind of old force has a very strong background, even if the master dies for a month, it is still the other grandmaster's.
Today's moon cutting is the most dangerous time. Whoever provokes him may suffer the crazy revenge of the Moon Cutting Zhai.
Chu Zheng thought about it and shook his head slightly in his heart.
Although the exercises he cultivated now were only second-rate Flying Flower Sutras, the advantages of the Flying Flower Sutras in terms of speed helped him a lot.
Stronger than some first-class exercises.
So if it's not necessary, he's not going to change to other exercises.
Moreover, at this time, if you go to get this broken moon duel, if you are cut off by Yuezhai, I am afraid that there will be big trouble.
Of course, in addition, Chu Zheng also felt that this exercise was too expensive and not worth buying.
Shaking his head in his heart, Chu Zheng looked for it again.
He was going to buy a good alchemy furnace before alchemy.
Now that he has the conditions, he naturally doesn't want to use a clay pot to refine the pill like the old man in the wolf shoulder dungeon.
Subsequently, Chu Zheng saw several good Dan furnaces in the Forbidden Exchange.
Most of these Dan furnaces are already of the highest grade.
The best Dan furnace is called the Nine Pills Furnace, which is a three-grade Dan furnace that can refine the elixir of the upper three grades.
Price, one thousand forbidden coins.
Chu Zheng took a look at it and gave up this option.
It's a good thing, but he doesn't need it.
If you forcibly use this kind of Dan furnace to refine the pill, I am afraid that you will be able to suck him dry.
Then, he checked the forbidden exchange again, and finally stopped at a Dan furnace.
This Dan furnace is not very good, there are only eight grades, and among many Dan furnaces with five or six grades as the mainstay, the grade is very low.
However, the price of this Dan furnace is about the same as that of some five-grade Dan furnaces.
The main reason for this is that this Dan furnace has a special ability, and it can generate its own fire.
When this Dan furnace was refining, it had the power to put a flame of immortal fire into it.
The so-called Eternal Fire is a sacred fire called the Immortal Sect, which has some healing effects.
At the beginning, the Immortal Sect used this effect to gather countless civilian believers in Daliang, and in more than 20 years, it has cultivated many masters, and the momentum is close to some top strengths.
And this also attracted the attention of the imperial court.
Li Qingping, the commander of the jade people, personally went down to the south of the Yangtze River, and in just one month, he killed the leader and leader of the Immortal Sect.
The huge Immortal Sect is falling apart.
And the immortal fire was also dispersed at that time, and it turned into many fires and scattered all over the place.
This news is also what Chu Zheng saw when he recently read some miscellaneous notes on the rivers and lakes.
This matter is so big that it is recorded in many books.
It's just that Chu Zheng didn't expect that he would actually see the day of the Immortal Fire with his own eyes.
"Guest, your medicine bag is ready." At this moment, the shopkeeper on the side spoke.
Chu Zheng came back to his senses at this time and responded, "Oh, good." ”
After saying that, he took the large and small packages and walked towards his home.
When she arrived at home, Yu Rong was still busy, leaving only two small ones playing in the courtyard.
Because the end of the year is approaching, on the table in the courtyard, there are door couplets and rice cereal.
"Uncle Chu, you're back." Seeing Chu Zheng coming back, the two little ones immediately stepped forward, looked at Chu Zheng with a look of hope, and said, "Do you want to tell a story today?" ”
Chu Zheng was a little speechless, and said helplessly: "I still have some things recently, and I don't have time to tell stories." ”
Hearing his words, the faces of the two children were visibly disappointed.
Seeing this, Chu Zheng smiled and said, "But I brought you something to eat." ”
After speaking, he took out two strings of sugar gourds from the oiled paper and handed them to the two of them.
Seeing the sugar gourd, the eyes of the two little ones immediately lit up.
"Thank you, Uncle Chu." Ma Niu'er screamed sweetly and took the sugar gourd.
Ma Xiang on the side also shouted and took the sugar gourd.
Seeing this, Chu Zheng smiled and returned to his room.
After putting down the medicine, he spent 50 forbidden coins to buy the eight-rank alchemy furnace.
With the purchase, a small one-inch high stove appeared in the palm of his hand.
This is a very quaint-looking alchemy furnace, with some ash on it, and it seems that it has not been used for a long time.
Chu Zheng held the Xiao Dan furnace in his hand, but he felt a slight burning sensation.
At the same time, the injuries on his body were also slightly hot, but they were not as painful as before.
Then, Chu Zheng looked at a location on the edge of the Dan furnace.
Here, a white jade stone is inlaid on it.
This is a kind of exotic treasure similar to the fire heart jade, which has the effect of transmitting aura. This is also the core of the Dan Furnace, where the alchemist uses True Qi to control the fire.
However, the ordinary Dan furnace is to fuse the true qi into it and use it to suppress the temperature outside the furnace.
And this Dan furnace is to control the burning of the immortal fire.
"This seems to be a bit difficult to control." Chu Zheng looked at this Dan furnace and regretted it slightly in his heart.
The usual eight-pin Dan furnace is only 3-5 taboo coins, but this Dan furnace cost 50 taboo coins, equivalent to 40,000 taels of silver, I have to say, it is a bloody investment.
However, the reason why Chu Zheng bought this Dan furnace has a certain reason.
This Dan furnace, in addition to self-produced Danhuo, also has the function of increasing the rate of Dan and increasing the number of pills.
In addition, this Dan furnace also has a storage function that only has a six-pin Dan furnace.
It's extremely convenient to use.
Chu Zheng looked at the small Dan furnace in his hand, and pointed his finger at the position of the white jade.
With the input of true qi, the Dan furnace slowly grew larger.
In a short time, it was the size of a foot.
Although it is still a little small, it is about ten times larger than before.
Chu Zheng looked at this Dan furnace and was very satisfied in his heart.
With this Dan furnace, he can also do alchemy outside at any time in the future.
Even, it's not impossible to cook rice with this, and you don't need to light a fire when you go out in the future.
"I'll call you the Eternal Furnace from now on." Chu Zheng looked at this eight-rank Dan furnace, and thought of the immortal fire in his heart, so he chose a name at random.
Then he looked at the piece of iron beside him, the sword had been with him for some time, and had helped him kill many people.
Now it's time to name the sword.
"From now on, you will call it tetanus." Chu Zheng looked at this piece of iron, and suddenly had some bad taste in his heart.
After picking the name, he laughed.
But after laughing for a while, he felt a little bored, this kind of stalk, in this world, only he understands.
"Let's try refining medicine first." Chu Zheng shook his head, put the Dan furnace on the ground, and took out the medicinal materials, one by one, according to the dose, divided into forty parts.
Twenty parts of the pill and twenty parts of the Zengyuan Pill.
In addition to this, there are some other medicinal herbs.
These medicinal materials were all bought by Chu Zheng together.
Alchemy is not needed.
It is mainly used to protect people's eyes and ears.
Then, Chu Zheng put his hand close to the white jade next to the Dan furnace and fed the true qi into it.
Below the Dan furnace, a cyan flame slowly ignited.
The flames appear relatively light, and can be seen at a glance, and only where the occasional flames overlap does cyan appear.
Chu Zheng suddenly felt in his heart that he was able to control this flame, and there was a feeling like an arm.
As his heart moved, the flames under the Dan Furnace began to wriggle like a coiling dragon, like a living thing.
Chu left the white jade with his forehand, and the flames were immediately extinguished.
"What's going on?" His eyes were puzzled.
It stands to reason that this Dan Furnace is more difficult to control than an ordinary Dan Furnace, how can it feel like an arm and a finger?
"Is it because of my true qi? Or what? Chu Zheng's brows furrowed slightly.
Then something suddenly occurred to him.
When he was cultivating at the beginning, the aura around him also gathered towards him with his mind.
At the time, he thought it was a common thing.
It wasn't until he read some books that he realized that this was unusual.
It is impossible for ordinary people to attract so much aura.
"Is it because I crossed over and fused two souls?" Chu Zheng suddenly had an idea in his heart.
He felt that this possibility was not low.
"It turns out that I am really talented." Chu Zheng muttered to himself, and finally felt some relief in his heart.
He had always felt like he was a scrap.
Shaking his head, Chu Zheng picked up the Dan Fang, read it carefully, and then put the medicinal herbs next to him, and took some porcelain bowls and put them aside.
After getting ready, he took a deep breath to ease his emotions, and then put his hand on the white jade and injected his true qi.
With the injection of true qi, the cyan immortal fire reappeared.
Chu Zheng also began to put the most basic medicinal material of the Great Pill Pill, the three-section grass, into the Dan furnace.
As the temperature in the alchemy furnace rose, the three-knotted grass suddenly began to wither, and a trace of white powder overflowed from the three-knotted grass and appeared in the pot.
The remaining three-knotted grass gradually turned black.
When Chu Zheng saw this situation, he remembered that he didn't bring chopsticks, so it was not easy to get out the waste of the three sections of grass at all.
It was also at this time that his heart suddenly moved, and the immortal fire outside the Dan furnace suddenly appeared inside the Dan furnace.
With a light sweep, the waste of the three-knotted grass was swept out.
"It's really done!" Chu Zheng was excited in his heart.
He just wanted to try. Let's see if this Immortal Fire can remove the waste.
I didn't expect this immortal fire to blow out the waste so easily.
"Then I might as well try to move the Immortal Fire into the Dan Furnace in the future, in this case, the effect of alchemy will be better." Chu Zheng had an idea in his heart.
Now that he controls the Immortal Fire, he can easily control the temperature of the Immortal Flame, so he can reduce the loss of heat energy transmitted by the Dan Furnace by putting the Immortal Flame directly into the Dan Furnace.
He can also use less True Qi to perform alchemy.
At this moment, a smell appeared on the tip of Chu Zheng's nose.
Chu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then realized that because of his distraction, the essence of the three-section grass had been lost.
Touching his nose, Chu Zheng realized that he seemed to be underestimating alchemy.
This line of work is not so simple.
Immediately, Chu Zheng straightened his mind and took out another three-section grass and put it into the alchemy furnace.
And this time, refining is much easier than before.
In a short time, the essence of a three-knotted grass was refined.
Chu Zheng put the essence of the three-knotted grass into the porcelain bowl, and began to pick up other medicinal materials to quench.
It didn't take long for all the medicinal materials of the Great Pill to be quenched.
"Whew......" Chu Zheng exhaled softly, and some sweat oozed from his forehead.
This alchemy must be multi-purpose.
Entering true qi, controlling fire, releasing medicine, and getting out the essence behind it, it is definitely not easy to get it together.
But fortunately, now that the medicinal materials have been refined, only the final alchemy remains.
Chu Zheng sat in place, meditated with his eyes closed, and recovered his true qi.
Now that he is only in the early stage of cultivating the Skin Realm, it is still a little reluctant to use these true qi to refine the pill.
If it weren't even for his true qi and pure qi, he wouldn't have the qualifications to control the immortal fire now.
Holding the white jade with his hand, he controlled the immortal torch to clean up the debris attached to the wall of the immortal furnace, and swept the debris out of the alchemy furnace with a slight sweep.
Then, he sat quietly for a while, recovering his true qi.
