Chapter 13: Preparing the Spiritual Liquid
"First soak the dried Sanyang grass for half a minute, boil the water, and then add the green snake skin, golden branch fruit, and jade spirit leaves······· Wait for half an hour, filter out the impurities in the boiled spiritual liquid, and then keep it warm for an hour, and then you can make positive spiritual liquid. In the side room of the courtyard, Yuan Chen looked at the pharmacopoeia in his hand and muttered.
After nearly a month of reading through the pharmacopoeia, Yuan Chen has mastered a lot of knowledge about pharmacists, especially some simple spiritual liquid configuration methods and the biological identification of various spiritual herbs, Yuan Chen can already do it backwards, and now Yuan Chen can already make a simple hands-on blending spiritual liquid, after experiencing many failures, Yuan Chen feels that he will definitely succeed this time today.
Yuan Chen proceeded one by one according to the process on the pharmacopoeia, this time smelting the spiritual liquid, he had to be strict in pinching the time, and he must not have the slightest mistake before.
"First of all, soak the dried sanyang grass. ”
I saw Yuan Chen take out a strange plant from his side, this plant has an orange-red rhizome, from the rhizome to the upper end, there is not even a leaf, but what is even more peculiar is that there are three orange flowers at the top of the rhizome, the three flowers did not wither due to the exposure of the sun, but became more and more vivid, like the sun in the sky.
Yuan Chen learned from the pharmacopoeia that the flower of Sanyang grass is a kind of elixir that is very beneficial to the foundation of the body, but the leaves on its rhizome are a very harmful substance to the foundation of the body, if the leaves on the rhizome of Sanyang grass are directly removed, the medicinal power of Sanyang grass will be lost, so the pharmacists took advantage of the flowers of Sanyang grass to like the sun, and its leaves do not like the characteristics of the sun, and put it in the sun to expose it to the sun, so that the leaves on the rhizome of Sanyang grass naturally fall off, so as to ensure the medicinal power of Sanyang grass.
"Soak the Sanyang grass for half a minute, then boil the water and add the green snakeskin ········" According to the steps of the pharmacopoeia just now, Yuan Chen did it step by step, without the slightest mistake, with the last purple vine put in, the basic process of Zhengji spiritual liquid has been completed, and the remaining process is to wait for half an hour to filter the medicinal residue, extract the spiritual liquid and let it stand.
Seeing that his masterpiece was about to be completed, Yuan Chen also had a small sense of achievement, and the effects of the remaining spirit herbs and elixirs were also like Sanyang grass, all of which had the effect of nourishing the body and building a foundation, but the specific effects had their own merits, and this time Yuan Chen's refining of the positive base spiritual liquid was to bring these spirit herbs and elixirs together.
An hour and a half has passed, during which Yuan Chen has already filtered the residue of the Zhengji Spirit Liquid, and at the same time kept warm and let it stand, at this moment, looking at the wooden barrel in front of him, Yuan Chen knew that it was the moment when the lid of the wooden barrel was lifted.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva nervously, Yuan Chen carefully removed the lid of the wooden barrel little by little, and his originally closed eyes narrowed slightly, looking into the barrel.
"Ah, why is this happening? Yuan Chen shouted.
Originally, according to the pharmacopoeia, if the Zhengji spiritual liquid was refined normally, the spiritual liquid should be displayed as dark green, which was the dark green spiritual liquid that Xiao Feng often used for Yuan Chen in the past, but today after Yuan Chen completed the configuration of the spiritual liquid according to the steps of the pharmacopoeia, the color of his spiritual liquid was gray, and Yuan Chen didn't know what he was wrong with.
"What's the matter, Xiaochen, I heard your shouts outside the courtyard, did you fail again?" Xiao Feng walked in from outside the gate and looked at Yuan Chen, who was distressed in the side room, and said.
"Grandpa Xiao, look at the color of the spiritual liquid after I concocted it, I really smelted it step by step according to the steps of the pharmacopoeia, but why the final spiritual liquid was not dark green, but the color of this gray gray, I don't know what I did wrong. Yuanchen said in frustration, he really didn't know where to correct.
"I'll come and see your brewed ichor, and you hand it to me. Xiao Feng said to Yuan Chen.
After Yuan Chen, who was on the ground on the side, heard Xiao Feng's words, he hurriedly handed the spiritual liquid he had just boiled to Xiao Feng.
After Xiao Feng got the spiritual liquid, he first carefully observed the color of the spiritual liquid, and then put the boiled spiritual liquid on the front of his nose and sniffed it, and then Xiao Feng put a finger of his right hand into the spiritual liquid and dipped it, took it out and put it directly into his mouth, and after tasting it, he suddenly learned the result.
Looking at Xiao Feng, who was stunned, Yuan Chen thought that something must be wrong with him, and couldn't wait to ask Xiao Feng: "Grandpa Xiao, what did I do wrong to make the result like this?"
Xiao Feng didn't answer Yuan Chen immediately, but paused for a moment before saying to Yuan Chen: "Xiao Chen, this is not your problem, your spiritual liquid has actually been successfully refined. ”
"Refining successfully, but Grandpa Xiao, the color of my spiritual liquid is completely different from normal. Yuan Chen looked at Xiao Feng suspiciously.
"I'm not to blame you for the color, I forgot to tell you. The reason why the spiritual liquid is called spiritual liquid is because the refining liquid is full of spiritual power, and if you want to urge the spiritual power with spiritual power, then you need to at least reach the spiritual elixir realm that combines the power of yin spirit and the power of yang spirit, because only after you reach the realm of spiritual elixir, you can urge spiritual power with agility, so this is also why the color of the spiritual liquid you make is gray instead of dark green, because your spiritual liquid lacks the catalysis of spiritual power。 Xiao Feng explained.
'Agile spiritual power, flexible fluctuations, do you say?' Listening to Xiao Feng's explanation, Yuan Chen realized that he had not refined the problem of dark green spiritual liquid, but at the same time, he also thought of one thing, remembering that the last time he went to the Qi Luck Stone Tablet of the Martial Arts Pavilion to select martial arts, he was once under the Qi Luck Stone Tablet, Yuan Chen felt two different fluctuations at that time, one of the fluctuations was the fluctuation with agility, at that time Yuan Chen didn't know what the fluctuation of agility meant, but after listening to Xiao Feng's explanation this time, Yuan Chen knew that the fluctuation of agility actually represented the spirit pill realm。
'Could it be that there is a strong person in the Spirit Pill Realm hidden within the Xiao family?' Yuan Chen thought about it and felt that it was impossible, in this Yangyan Ancient Town, even if you were a strong person in the middle of the Yang Reality Realm, you could go sideways, if there was a strong person in the Spirit Pill Realm hidden in the Xiao family, wouldn't the Xiao family have annexed the other three families early? But why didn't the Xiao family do this? If it wasn't the fluctuation caused by the powerhouse of the Spirit Pill Realm, then what could be the thing that caused this fluctuation?
"Xiaochen, what are you thinking?" Xiao Feng asked as he looked at Yuanchen suspiciously.
"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing, I'm just thinking about whether there is any other way to make spiritual liquid that people who are not in the elixir realm can also refine spiritual liquid. After Yuan Chen came back to his senses, he hurriedly said to Xiao Feng.
In fact, it is nothing to tell Xiao Feng about this matter, but according to what Xiao Feng said, he and Xiao Feng are actually not from the Xiao family, so since this is the case, why should he bother to take care of the Xiao family's affairs?
"Hahaha, of course there is, in fact, Xiaochen, the spiritual liquid you refined, strictly speaking, cannot be called spiritual liquid, it can only be called medicine powder. Xiao Feng said with a smile.
"Medicine powder?" Yuan Chen looked at Xiao Feng.
"Yes, that's right, and whether it's spiritual liquid or medicine powder, their grades are divided into upper, middle and lower grades, and the medicine powder you refine at this time can be called a low-grade medicine powder. Xiao Feng looked at Yuan Chen and said, in fact, in Xiao Feng's heart, he was already quite satisfied with Yuan Chen, and he had mastered all the things in the Nuoda Pharmacopoeia in a month, and he was already able to make the next grade medicine, Yuan Chen's talent for refining medicine was far from being comparable to him at the beginning.
"Grandpa Xiao, how can you transform the lower-grade medicine powder into the middle grade or even the high-grade medicine powder?" Yuan Chen asked.
"There are actually two ways to transform the low-grade medicine powder in your hand into the middle-grade medicine powder, the first way is to make your cultivation stronger, if your cultivation reaches the Yin Void Realm, you can use a stronger spiritual power than the current one to forcibly change the quality of the Medicine Powder, this is for you now, it will take a while to reach the Yin Void Realm, so leave it alone. And the second way is that you can do it even now. Xiao Feng said.
"Then Grandpa Xiao, what should I do?" Yuan Chen asked.
Xiao Feng smiled and said, " You can add the fragments of the third-order demon crystal to your medicine powder, and this method will make your medicine powder or spiritual liquid improve by another quality according to the medicine powder you refine now or for the spiritual liquid you want to refine in the future, although the level of refining may still be the same, but the effect after taking it is completely different, when you refine the spiritual liquid in the future, you can add the demon crystal of the corresponding attribute to it according to the attributes of the spiritual liquid you refine, and you will find that the quality of your spiritual liquid will become more perfect. ”
Xiao Feng paused and continued: " Just now I mentioned the medium-grade medicine powder, and the same is true for the high-grade medicine powder that continues to the back, after your strength reaches the yang reality realm or adds the fourth-order demon crystal to your medicine powder, the medicine powder you refine can be transformed into the high-grade medicine powder, and when your strength reaches the spirit pill realm, the medicine liquid you refine can be called the spirit liquid, so that is to say, you can only use the demon crystal to improve the grade of your medicine powder, but you can't turn the medicine powder into spiritual liquid, the spirit liquid can only be refined when you reach the spirit pill realm, and the demon crystal you add at that time can only improve the effect of the spiritual liquid。 ”
"I see, Grandpa Xiao, I understand, then the medicinal liquid attribute I refined today is biased towards fire, which means that I need a third-order fire attribute demon crystal to upgrade the low-grade medicine powder I refined to a medium-grade medicine powder, right? Yuan Chen asked.
"Yes, in fact, the low-grade medicine powder you have refined is completely sufficient for the spirit realm period, but if you want to continue to try to improve its quality, I also support it, okay, if there is nothing to do, old man, I will continue to work." Xiao Feng said.
"Okay, Grandpa Xiao, go get busy. Yuan Chen responded, but at this time, he was thinking in his heart, where to find a third-order demon crystal, if it was just to refine the lower grade medicine powder, Yuan Chen himself was not very willing, but except for the Xiao family, he had not been outside, he didn't know where to go to find what he wanted, but soon, when Yuan Chen thought about it in his heart, he suddenly thought of a person, maybe this person could help him.
