Chapter 31: The Orthodox Approach Premieres
After applying the scald plaster, moving the medicine tripod away from the stove, and cleaning it up briefly, Ning Qingru went back to the house, sat cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes to meditate and recover.
Chi Dongyu slept soundly, breathing calmly, and Ning Qingru also took a special look at her internal condition, and did not find anything abnormal, so she was relieved.
In the dead of night, Ning Qingru opened his eyes.
He pondered the whole process of refining the herbs in the afternoon, looking for imperfections. About another hour passed, Ning Qingru slowly got up, and he had an idea in his heart, that is, strike while the iron was hot and try to refine a pair of potions.
Boil potions is much more difficult than simply refining the essence of herbs.
In addition to the need to purify more herbs, at the end, the liquid medicine is boiled together to remove the harmful components produced by mixing with each other, and finally further purification.
If you want to become a pill, you also need to compress and blend to further remove impurities, of course, this step is too demanding for the pharmacist's own skills, and it is not something that Ning Qingru needs to consider now, what he can do is to boil the medicine, even this step is quite difficult for him.
Ning Qingru can only purify sheep's tail grass now, and this is still the easiest herb to purify.
A few days ago, he specially asked a pharmacist to buy a prescription for nourishing his body and increasing his qi, and the prescription alone cost two gold coins, and sheep's tail grass was only the cheapest and most inconspicuous part of the prescription.
Like the main medicine in the prescription, Hua Qing Teng, is not only expensive, but also because of its hard texture and introverted medicinal properties, it is extremely difficult to refine the medicinal essence, Ning Qingru estimated that if he wants to purify Hua Qing Teng, he will probably need to sit all day without eating or drinking.
For such a long time, not to mention whether he could do it for a long time with a high degree of concentration, even his Xuanyuan estimated that he would not be able to support the end, and even his hands were afraid that they would be roasted, exuding bursts of meaty fragrance.
Now he can only twist some herbs that can be purified in a short time to come out and practice.
It's just that after successfully refining the sheep's tail grass in the afternoon, Ning Qingru's hand was injured, and naturally he couldn't take any more tricks, so he secretly wondered if he would try the orthodox technique first, although it may be a huge physical and mental drain, but it is better than refining it once and getting injured once.
Just do it, Ning Qingru went out softly, trying not to wake up Chi Dongyu.
He put the medicine pod on the stove, squinted at the kitchen firewood pile and saw several more bundles of firewood, knowing in his heart that Shen Shuanghua had gone out to buy it when he was cooking dinner.
Thinking of this, he remembered that he didn't seem to have eaten dinner.
Shaking his head with a light smile, it is actually not a big deal for him not to eat now, so he is too lazy to think about it anymore, add firewood and light the fire.
Get up and go to the storage room to get a few sheep's tail plants, what he wants to try now is to control the medicine tripod from a distance, before putting his hand on the tripod, although it is dangerous, but in the same way, the perception of the changes in the medicine tripod is also clearer, and now he knows what kind of state should be in the medicine tripod, so it will undoubtedly be much easier to try the orthodox method again.
Approximately, that is, the consumption is larger.
Or while pounding the medicine, observe the situation in the medicine pod.
When the medicine pod was gradually burned red, Ning Qingru stopped pounding the medicine in his hand, and his hands slowly sealed, which was a means taught by Jiang Qin to enhance perception.
This is also the first time he has actually used it for refining, and he has only made two blind comparisons before.
As the handprint came out, Ning Qingru felt that his perception was several times sharper than usual, and he didn't have long to feel this novelty, and quickly shrouded his mind on the medicine tripod.
At the same time, the seal knot in his hand changed, the middle finger of his right hand hooked downward, and it fit with his thumb, and the peaceful Xuanyuan shot towards the medicine tripod like a white horse.
A crisp sound of striking iron sounded, and all the details of the changes in the medicine tripod had already appeared in Ning Qingru's mind.
To be honest, this is actually not as obvious as what he felt in the afternoon, this is still the result of his measures to improve his perception, if it is not for that improvement of perception, he is afraid that he will not even be able to figure out what the situation is in the medicine ding.
Ning Qingru frowned, how could that sense of balance be found in such a situation? Even if it was found, how long could it last?
In desperation, he could only increase the output of Xuanyuan, trying to further improve his perception through the large influx of Xuanyuan.
Finally, as he was close to giving it his all, he clearly felt the delicate balance.
He didn't impulsively pour the herbs into the pod, because he knew that he wouldn't last long in this state, he was just trying to feel that feeling.
Although he already knew what that feeling was, sensing from a distance like this and sensing it with a medicine tripod were completely two different feelings, and he needed to get used to this orthodox method, and it was impossible to keep tricks like that, it was not a long-term solution.
When Ning Qingru noticed that the Xuanyuan in his body was close to the bottom, he slowly retracted his strength.
With a long exhale, Ning Qingru frowned and looked at the medicine ding, knowing that he was afraid that he would not be able to purify the herbs with orthodox methods in a short period of time. This feeling was like when he first put his hand on the big mouth of the medicine ding, hazy, even if he increased his strength to feel it clearly, it couldn't last at all.
After the meditation returned to the best state, it was already the middle of the night, Ning Qingru was inexplicably a little sleepy, after thinking about it, he knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and half a night would not allow him to soar into the sky, so he simply moved the medicine tripod, packed up his things and went back to the house to sleep.
In the early morning, Ning Qingru reflexively opened his eyes, he only felt that his whole body was sore, and his eyes were painful, which was a typical manifestation of not sleeping well.
What he didn't expect was that Chi Dongyu had already woken up and was taking a bath in the compartment.
Listening to the sound of running water, Ning Qingru didn't have any other thoughts for the first time, without him, just because he was too tired.
Yesterday, he exhausted Xuanyuan many times, although he meditated and recovered, but it was his body that was consumed by doing so, and it was not iron, and it was really normal to be tired.
When Chi Dongyu came out of the bath, Ning Qingru was still staring at the bed in a daze, he didn't want to leave this gentle nest, and he was at war in his heart, and he was struggling.
"Get up!"
Chi Dongyu was also the first time to see Ning Qingru lying in bed, and he thought it was funny, so he walked over and leaned over and called.
Ning Qingru looked at the snow in front of him, his brain was a little deprived of oxygen, he quickly sat up and complained: "Dongyu, you don't have to be so tempting to wake me up, right?"
Hearing this, Chi Dongyu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and hurriedly covered his chest, and said ashamedly: "Die, who deliberately tempted you!"
Ning Qingru smiled bitterly, lifted the quilt, and got up.
Although it is indeed a little tiring, there is no way, and what needs to be done still has to be done.
"By the way, Dongyu, are you feeling better?" Ning Qingru asked after she remembered this stubble after she got dressed.
Chi Dongyu shook his head and sighed: "My body is still a little weak, but there are no other problems. ”
Ning Qingru frowned, walked to her side, pressed her shoulder with his hand, Xuanyuan probed into her body, and still didn't notice anything unusual.
This is what worries Ning Qingru the most.
Chi Dongyu's situation has been repeated several times, every time it is like this, he has even thought of Chi Dongyu falling into bed unconscious a few days later, in the face of this strange thing, Ning Qingru can be said to be helpless.
He originally wanted to ask Jiang Qin for help, because she was the most powerful pharmacist he knew, apart from her, the best pharmacist in Changxin City was only three grades, and the bad thing was that that person couldn't even refine a pill, he could only boil a medicine, and the so-called three grades were all pseudo-three products piled up in all aspects, which was really unacceptable.
But he didn't dare to let a strong person like Jiang Qin know about Chi Dongyu's existence, so he endured that thought.
Seeing Chi Dongyu being tortured like this, he was really uncomfortable.
Sighing, Ning Qingru held Chi Dongyu's face and kissed her lightly on the forehead, "I'll figure it out." ”
Chi Dongyu also knew that his condition had worried Ning Qingru for a long time, and he used to get up early to practice boxing, but recently he didn't practice boxing, and he devoted himself to pharmacology, carefully studying those herbs that could make her better.
"I'll also look at those books, I can't let you be so stressed alone, I can still prescribe the right medicine after learning it, my physical condition is a bit strange after all, it is difficult to do the right medicine. Chi Dongyu thought about it and said.
Ning Qingru only thought that she was feeling sorry for herself, but she didn't say anything more and nodded.
He actually saw almost the whole herb, at least now he took a random herb for him to identify, he could recognize it, maybe the medicinal value is not known yet, but at least the name is called.
After all, he didn't look at all the herbs, he looked more at the herbs for nourishing the body and strengthening the qi, and in this regard, he could not only name the herbs, but also the medicinal value, as well as various ways of using medicine.
At this point, the full solution of the herb has no practical value to him at present, at least in his opinion, so he simply gave Chi Dongyu and asked her to study it, anyway, she has nothing to do all day, saying that it may not be that pharmacology has improved faster than him.
In terms of talent and learning ability, Ning Qingru has always thought that Chi Dongyu is stronger than him.
Ning Qingru went to the kitchen to cook breakfast, and halfway through, Shen Shuanghua got up, walked to the kitchen with messy hairstyle, and when she saw Ning Qingru cooking, she turned around and left.
Cooking is not too difficult, Ning Qingru has studied for so many days, not only can he do it, but he is also at ease. His situation was said by Shen Shuanghua to be a natural cook, which made Ning Qingru very unimpressed, but he didn't bother to bother with a little girl about such a trivial matter.
Speaking of which, Shen Shuanghua may be the most idle-doden of the three of them, she doesn't know what to do except do housework every day, Ning Qingru once tried to teach her to practice, but she was only interested in getting started.
This made Ning Qingru a little depressed.
