Chapter 129: Refining Medicine
In the days that followed, Charon went to the Forbidden Forest every day to train Luwei, searching for herbs and bones.
Lu Wei's training is very smooth, about half a month, he has completely stopped eating inexplicable food, is no longer confused by music, and can be said to be a competent watchdog.
The search for the bones did not go well, and even with Lu Wei's keen sense of smell, he could not find many suitable fresh bones. Charon barely managed to make up the size of a skeleton, but it came from a different animal and had to be transformed before it could be used.
The search for herbs went well, and a lot of them were quickly assembled.
Charon hadn't started refining pills for a long time. Fortunately, he learned a lot of new refining techniques in the potions class, which brought him endless inspiration, and he was really eager to try it, so that the alchemy and pharmaceutical techniques combining the East and the West would have a better effect.
Of course, Charon didn't use a treasure like a thousand-year-old ginseng and a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum as soon as he came up, he chose the one-meter-long arm-thick yellow essence to practice.
Polygonatum is sweet in taste and refreshing to eat. Its fleshy rhizome is thick, contains a lot of nutrients, raw food, stew can not only satisfy hunger, but also for fitness, can make people increase strength, muscles full, bone marrow strong, very beneficial to the body. This thing is also one of the most commonly used medicinal materials by Taoist cultivators, and it is not a treasure.
However, anything is not ordinary for a long time, and the yellow essence that is enough for the year is also known as the immortal grain, which was first contained in the "Shennong Materia Medica", which is a necessary medicine for the alchemy of ancient Taoism. Li Shizhen said: Yellow essence is a medicine for taking food, so the "Separate Record" is listed at the head of the grass department, and the immortals think that the sesame grass and the like, with the essence of Kun soil, so it is called yellow essence. This huge yellow essence of Charon has grown for at least seven or eight hundred years, and it can be regarded as an elixir.
Using Huang Jing as the main material, you can refine a very common pill, that is, the Muscle Strengthening Pill, which is not even a pill, it can only be called a pill. This thing is a strong body pill. Charon didn't eat less when he was Zhao Guang in the Three Kingdoms World, especially in the half year when he cultivated his true qi, in order to purify his body and improve the efficiency of heaven and earth induction, qi cultivation and condensation, he almost let him use strong muscles and body pills to eat.
The refining method of strengthening muscles and strengthening the body pill is also very simple, with yellow essence as the main ingredient, plus wolfberry, codonopsis, atractylodes, cypress leaves and asparagus and other common medicinal materials. It is crushed into fine powder, several flavors are harmonized, poisoned with fierce fire, boiled over a simmer, and finally formed a paste. Stop the heat, add the honey and stir well. Wait until it cools down completely, rub it into a ball-like shape like a sycamore seed with your hands, and then dry it in the shade.
In fact, the difference between pills and pills is also here, pills basically can't be formed by themselves, and it is up to the refiner to rub them into pills by themselves. As for the elixir, it is refined in the Dan furnace, and it has already taken shape naturally the moment it is baked.
In addition, the firepower requirements for the refining of the pill are very strict, and the turbidity gas cannot be allowed to invade and destroy the spirituality of the pill, so it must be refined in a closed furnace. The firepower requirements for pill refining are low, and they don't need to be completely sealed, so they don't need to use a Dan furnace. This time, Charon planned to use local materials and refine them with his own brass crucible.
The refining process was lackluster, and Charon was even more lazy, so he brought in his three friends to help him. When Neville heard that Charon was going to make potions, he plucked up the courage to come and help. Although he is still afraid of the Shafiqs, he also knows that Charon is a friendly friend who does not discriminate against him.
Soon, with everyone's help, the first pot of tendon and body strengthening pills was baked. This pot can be rubbed with 600 grains, and the container prepared by Charon is full.
Just when everyone was in high spirits, a black figure suddenly flashed behind him, walking silently and without attracting anyone's attention. It wasn't until he got close and pinched a tendon-strengthening pill and stuffed it into his mouth that everyone suddenly found out. For a moment, the whole environment fell silent, and everyone was silent. That man was none other than Professor Snape of the Potions class.
Snape ignored anyone, savored it for a few minutes, and after feeling the properties of the medicine, he contemptuously concluded: "The lowest potion is the one that fills the stomach." With that, he turned and left.
After Professor Snape left, another few minutes passed. All the little wizards let out a long breath and immediately began to chirp again.
Ron complained: "It's so scary, when did he come behind him, he didn't notice it at all!" ”
Hermione thought that Snape's evaluation had hit Charon, and hurriedly comforted: "Charon, don't listen to him, it's amazing that we can practice so many potions at one time!" ”
Charon smiled, in fact, he was not angry with Snape's evaluation, but he admired Snape's vision, and he only needed to taste it, and he immediately understood the medicinal effect of the Tendon Strengthening Pill.
Charon smiled and said to Hermione, "Hermione, in fact, Professor Snape is absolutely right, this potion is called the Tendon Strengthening Pill. Its function is to make people physically strong. ”
With that, he shoved a full bottle into Hermione's hand.
Charon turned around and said loudly to all the friends who helped: "Thank you very much for your help, then please make persistent efforts, we will refine two more batches, and finally after completion, each partner will get 30 strong body pills." If you take the Muscle Strengthening Pill regularly, your body will become stronger and stronger. ”
Everyone applauded, and everyone's spirit of work was even stronger. It took Charon to refine ten pots before he exhausted this huge piece of yellow essence, in exchange for more than 6,000 tendon-strengthening pills.
Such a large number of muscle-strengthening and body-strengthening pills, in addition to giving them to small partners, are enough for their current cultivation of Gang Qi.
With the help of medicine, Charon practiced Gang Qi and progressed rapidly, and it didn't take long for him to feel that his body was much stronger, he no longer had a miserable white complexion, his skin was ruddy and shiny, and he looked much more refreshed.
This is also Charon's main purpose, to improve his own image, even as a necromancer, to pay attention to appearance. If you are like your father Alex, you can't make a friend for seven years, and you rely on luck to get a wife, it will be miserable.
The newborn Gang Qi is of little use, it can neither protect the body nor attack, and it is far worse than the True Qi. But Charon can't do it, his body is full of necromantic magic, and he can't practice his true qi!
The days pass quickly in a busy way, and Charon is also full of things every day, and he is very busy.
Name it and you'll know just how busy he really is.
First of all, he wants to cultivate Gang Qi to improve his personal strength. In order to cultivate Gang Qi, he also had to collect medicinal herbs and refine pills.
Secondly, as a member of the Shafiq family, it is also necessary to contact and control the necromantic magic inheritance in your own mind, and find a way to fuse with the spells of the dark world.
Again, in addition to being more mentally strong this time, Charon does not have any benefits in his daily Hogwarts studies. An abundant necromantic magic is even an obstacle to some homework, and if you don't work hard, you may really fail. In this regard, he is not even as good as Harry and Ron, two scumbags who also have their own characteristics.
In addition, it takes a lot of time to train the three-headed dog of hell and refine his own skeleton, although it is fun, but time is indispensable after all.
Finally, in order to find the herbs and bones he needs in the Forbidden Forest, Charon also has to establish a good relationship with Hagrid, and by the way, find himself some elixir treasures. Of course, he will also sneak in himself when needed, use Lu Wei's sense of smell, find some dead magical creature bones, pick some that can be used, and secretly take them back.
Since there is enough elixir, alchemy medicine must be indispensable, and this is also an important job for him. Whenever the medicine is finished, the furnace is opened for alchemy.
Even with so much to do, Charon remembers taking time out to write letters to his family, accompany Hermione to the library, and have fun with Ron, Harry, Neville, and others. Whether it is family or friendship, it needs to be maintained, and Charon doesn't want to be a loner.
Such days flew by, and two months passed in the blink of an eye. The excitement of the friends around him let Charon know that it was about to be Halloween. If Charon were alone, he would definitely be just a boring festival, but he would have been a carnival party with his friends!
That afternoon, Charon and the rest of his friends met at the restaurant for a Halloween party. When they walked into the restaurant and saw the colorful Halloween decorations, they forgot everything and started to party.
A thousand bats fluttered across the walls and ceiling, and a thousand more, like low clouds, swirled above the table, causing the candle flames in the pumpkin's belly to flicker. The delicacies suddenly appeared on the golden plate, just like at the opening banquet.
Everyone cheered, then toasted each other and feasted.
In the midst of the jubilation, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Professor Quirrell burst into the dining room, his large scarf tilted over his head, and a look of horror on his face. Everyone stared at him, only to see him walk up to Professor Dumbledore's chair, lean back on the table, gasp and say, "The troll - in the underground classroom - thought you should know. ”
With that, he fell headlong to the floor and passed out.
There was chaos in the restaurant. Professor Dumbledore had to make a few screeching fireworks explosions on his wand's head before everyone fell silent.
"Prefect," he said in a deep voice, "bring the students of your academy to the dormitory at once!".
The prefects of each level are naturally proficient.
"Follow me! Don't get scattered, first graders! As long as you do what I tell you, you don't have to be afraid of any trolls! Okay, follow me closely. Get out of the way, the first graders are going to pass! I beg your pardon, I'm a prefect!"
