Chapter 169: Difficulty in Refining Medicine
"Don't use your soul to make fire? I wonder if this Ding is really so godly?" Xiao He looked at the swarthy Fang Ding in the ring, his heart was full of questions, and he was a little eager to try.
So the black light flashed in his hand, and the Fang Ding appeared out of thin air, sitting on the ground, square and very stable.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao He pressed the throbbing in his heart, and began to urge the soul power in his body, which sprayed out from his palm and poured directly into the ding.
"Snort~"
"Snort~"
In an instant, as soon as Fang Ding received the soul power, a crimson flame automatically rose, and the temperature in the room also instantly increased, becoming steaming.
"Hao Ding! 150,000 gold coins are worth it!"
Looking at the rising and beating flames in the ding, Xiao He couldn't stop being excited in his heart, and shouted directly.
"Ahem, cough, cough~"
The turbid heat caused Qi Yupeng to toss and turn, unable to sleep all night, and couldn't help jumping up directly, and scolded:
"What's the noise? In the middle of the night, a room full of smoke and miasma! I won't let people sleep!"
"Oh~oh"
Xiao He was scolded like this, and instantly felt lame, his face was frightened, and he was stunned on the spot, not daring to squeak.
Seeing this, Qi Yupeng knew that He was under great pressure in his heart, and it was not easy to scold him too much, and said:
"Hurry up and rest! It's been tossing all night, and when you're resting, let's get it tomorrow!"
After saying that, Qi Yupeng leaned back again, lay down directly, and began to fall asleep.
Xiao He nodded, then silently withdrew Fang Ding and began to lie down to rest.
The next day, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, Xiao He quietly got up, afraid of waking Qi Yupeng, and tiptoed to prepare to go out.
It's just that as soon as he walked to the door, he was directly stopped by Qi Yupeng and said:
"Okay! You can practice medicine now! You will have to pay tomorrow! Don't be unable to pay when the time comes!"
"Really, will it bother you again?" Xiao He was also embarrassed.
Qi Yupeng shook his head, his face was a little solemn, and said:
"No, isn't this more important to you than to sleep? Besides, you are the only one who chooses the path you choose to walk alone! I can't help you or anything!"
"Hmm~ I know!"
Xiao He understood, walked straight back, took out the medicine pod and the corresponding medicinal materials, sat up on the ground, closed his eyes slightly, held his breath and concentrated, and let himself quickly enter the cultivation state.
"Hey~ refining medicine is not a very simple matter, I wish you success!"
Qi Yupeng couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at him, his heart was full of worry, but he was helpless, he could only pray deeply.
Immediately after, he also sat up cross-legged and began to enter the cultivation state.
"Compound Body Pill, slow fire refining purple spirit fairy grass, extract essence juice, with coulee ginseng to reconcile, medium heat ......"
Xiao He kept reciting the prescription silently, feeling the meaning of every word, but he was still a little confused and didn't know what to understand.
"Damn, don't care!
Looking at it, Xiao He unconsciously began to be a little irritable, without worrying too much, he directly grabbed two purple spirit fairy grasses and threw them into the ding, the soul power in his body gushed out, and the fire rose.
"Snort~"
"Snort~"
Xiao He slowly controlled the output of soul power and slowly increased the firepower, but the purple spirit fairy grass was extremely fragile, as the temperature rose, the branches and leaves slowly rolled up, and finally it was burned out, turned into flying ash, and sprinkled to the bottom of the ding, as for the so-called essence liquid, naturally there was not a drop left!
"I'm going! This ~ is too unbearable to bake!"
"No, come again! I don't believe it!"
Xiao He was speechless, shook his head vigorously, a trace of madness appeared in his eyes, and he grabbed a purple spirit fairy grass again and threw it into the ding.
Immediately after that, calm down, the soul power in the body slowly flowed out, controlling the temperature in the ding, and letting it rise slowly.
However, at this time, Xiao He was confused again, and he didn't know how much he needed to control the so-called temperature, and even struggled.
In desperation, he could only find a casual temperature to stop and roast slowly.
In the end, due to the low temperature, the purple spirit fairy grass lost all its essence in the low-temperature roasting, and became a dead branch and grass, lifeless and functional.
"Hey~ still doesn't work, it's failed again! The specific temperature is too difficult to control! What should I do!"
Xiao He looked at the crumpled grass branch and couldn't help but sigh deeply, but everything was imminent, and he couldn't help but get irritable.
At this moment, an ethereal voice sounded from within, and only the sermon was heard:
"Cultivating the mind, have you forgotten again? The old man has taught you many times. Refining the elixir requires you to feel the changes in the medicinal materials with your heart and slowly control the temperature! This is the most important thing!"
"Secondly, all the medicinal materials between heaven and earth are nourished by the aura of heaven and earth, giving medicinal properties, and when the essence of the medicinal materials is extracted, if the aura is used to warm and fuse, the medicinal properties can be maximized!"
"Oh~ So that's the case!Hey~ I'm in a hurry for a while, and my brain is useless!Hehe~ Thank you for the reminder!" Xiao He suddenly realized, a little embarrassed, and scratched his cheeks left and right.
At this time, Zhao Kaiyang suddenly scolded over there and said:
"Hmph, anxious, the brain is a good thing, the more upset you are, the more you need to calm down, you always do the opposite, who is to blame?"
"Uh~" Xiao He was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Zhao Kaiyang ignored him and continued:
"Okay, it's understandable that you're in contact with alchemy for the first time! I'm limited in time for this sound transmission technique, so let's stop here! For the rest, you can do it yourself, remember to cultivate your mind and practice!"
After that, Zhao Kaiyang's voice dissipated and no longer sounded.
After listening to this, Xiao He's heart was warm, a little silent and self-reproachful, and he couldn't help but sigh to himself, and said:
"Cultivating the mind, cultivating, if it weren't for the old man who came forward to remind me, I guess I wouldn't have remembered it for the rest of my life!"
"Hey~ It seems that this cultivation can be applied anywhere, but I just ignore it myself!
After coming back to his senses and looking at the square and standing Fang Ding, Xiao He was no longer confused in his heart, his confidence doubled, and he was a little eager to try.
"Wen Zhiling, use your heart to make medicine, I'll try, I hope it can really be! Let's start!"
After finishing speaking, he grabbed two immortal grasses again and threw them into Fang Ding, and the soul power in his body was like a spring, slowly flowing out and merging into Fang Ding.
With the fusion of soul power, wisps of subtle flames rose from that Fang Ding, and the temperature slowly climbed and steamed.
At the same time, Xiao He's mind moved, and the aura of heaven and earth converged, constantly pouring into this square ding, wrapping and locking the fairy grass.
"Intentions~"
"Intentions~"
"Whew~"
Xiao He slowly exhaled a breath of morning air, feeling the change of the herb's body with the temperature, carefully controlling the fire power in the ding, adjusting the temperature, and looking for the best temperature point for refining the medicine.
A quarter of an hour later, the herb still couldn't stand the long roast and was drained by the heat.
"Still no!
Xiao He didn't dare to slack off, and after a little trimming, he held his breath again and grabbed a fairy grass and threw it into the ding.
"Intentions~Intentions~"
Xiao He thought silently, his heart moved, and the soul power in his body slowly flowed out like a trickle, flowing into the ding.
This time, the heating rate in the ding was extremely low, as slow as a snail, and Xiao He carefully felt the changes in the fairy grass.
It's just that the heating rate is too slow, but Xiao He can't really detect the specific changes in the herbs, and he wastes too much time.
In desperation, he had no choice but to further increase the temperature speed.
Finally, when the temperature reaches a temperature point, the leaves of the fairy grass begin to melt, and the fine juice condenses and becomes crystal clear.
"See!
Xiao He was also happy, as if he saw hope, locked the temperature in the tripod at this temperature, and continued to bake this fairy grass.
As time passed, the sap condensed by the grass evaporated and melted, while the branches also became wrinkled and dry because of long-term baking, and all the essence evaporated and lost, leaving not a drop left.
Xiao He picked up the crumpled branch, looked at it carefully, thoughtfully, and said:
"No, it seems that different parts of this medicinal herb require different temperature points!
"Come again!"
Immediately afterwards, Xiao He grabbed a fairy grass again, and the fire rose, instantly warming to the temperature just now.
After a while, the blades of grass melted, and the tiny droplets condensed, crystal clear, diffusing a hint of fragrance.
"Close!"
Xiao He's mind moved, and the aura in the tripod was blown, and the trace of juice was wrapped and blown out, and it was warmed above the tripod.
Immediately after that, he increased his fire output again, and the temperature in the ding slowly climbed again, and after a while, the branches also melted.
It's just that at that moment, the juice essence in the branches has been squeezed dry to the point that there is nothing left.
"Hmm~ That's good! I know the temperature point of the branches! Next, it's easy to do!" Seeing this, Xiao He grinned and became extremely excited, after several failures, he also found something.
"Come again!"
After a short rest, Xiao He's spirit was also shocked, and he grabbed two immortal grasses again and threw them into the tripod.
Immediately afterwards, the soul power in Xiao He's body slowly gushed out, and the temperature in the Ding was slightly warm, and after a little adaptation, the soul power in the body instantly increased dramatically, and a certain amount of Fang Ding was output.
In an instant, the temperature in the middle of the Ding increased instantly, and the fairy grass was roasted at a certain temperature, and those grass blades melted and the juice condensed.
Immediately afterwards, the aura in the tripod was blown, and those subtle juices were brought out, suspended in the mouth of the tripod, and slowly polymerized to form a crystal droplet, which was extremely moving.
At the same time, Xiao He didn't dare to pause more, and the soul power in his body gushed out again quantitatively, blessing on Fang Ding, and the temperature in the Ding instantly rose and was fixed at a certain value!
"Snort~"
"Snort~"
Finally, the remaining branches of the fairy grass also melted, and a drop of thick purple juice gathered and condensed, which was very pure.
"Close!"
Xiao He gently shook his right hand, and the clouds of heaven and earth aura converged, wrapped the drop of juice out, and fused with the drop of crystal liquid just now at the mouth of the dingkou.
"Come on, you must succeed!"
Xiao He prayed silently, but the accident appeared as scheduled, although the two drops of juice converged close to each other.
However, the juice that was combined was only a change in volume, and the purple and transparent parts on it were very obvious, obviously not fused!
"Ah~this~ how can this be ......"
Suddenly, Xiao He was dumbfounded, he didn't expect him to work so hard, and the last step was stuck, and he couldn't help but feel a little disheartened.
"Hey~ refining medicine is really not a simple matter, no wonder when I first took the pill, so many people in the field would have murderous intentions! Sure enough, it is easy to take medicine, but it is difficult to refine medicine......"
Xiao He was depressed and couldn't help but sigh.
