Chapter 119: Mixed Alchemy
The revived dracaena has detached itself from its original form of grass and is much smaller in size than before.
The dragon blood grass in Han Xiaoshu's hand had already turned into a blood dragon and coiled on his fingers.
The dragon's blood grass is now his original form.
Xiao Ding once told him that dragon blood needs blood as nutrients, and it generally survives in places such as ancient battlefields.
When the dragon's blood grass loses its blood sustenance, it will turn into a dragon-shaped herb and take root in the earth, waiting to be awakened.
Moreover, the dragon's blood grass is very afraid of cold, so when Zhuang Tu seals the dragon's blood grass with ice, it will appear even more dry.
In order to reawaken the Dragon's Blood Grass, it must first be watered with blood, and then the most important step is to burn it with Dan Fire.
Ordinary flames can't really awaken the dragon's blood grass, only the alchemist's danhuo can.
This is a little-known secret of dracaena.
Ever since Han Xiaoshu woke up the dragon's blood grass, Xiao Ding in his body instinctively sent out a thirst.
This feeling was as strong as when Xiaocao was eager to absorb Chenyi's spirit body.
summoned Xiao Ding in his body and put it in his hand, and Xiao Ding at this time was like an ordinary spirit.
There was no reaction to Han Xiaoshu's call.
"Go ahead. ”
Han Xiaoshu sighed slightly, and introduced the dragon blood grass in his hand to Xiao Ding's side.
With the Dragon's Blood Grass approaching. Xiao Ding then exuded a suction force, absorbing the dragon blood grass that was close to his body.
Seeing that Xiao Ding absorbed the dragon blood grass, Han Xiaoshu took Xiao Ding back into his body.
He knew that digesting this dragon blood grass was not a matter of time and a half, and Xiao Ding had lost too much to save himself at the beginning.
Now, just one dragon's blood grass can't make up for the original loss.
After dealing with Xiao Ding's matter, Han Xiaoshu began to study the elixir in the disguised jade slip.
Although the refining process of the pill is recorded in great detail in the jade slip.
But Han Xiaoshu still prepared a few more phantom flowers and other materials for insurance.
Taking out a pill furnace from the space ring again, Han Xiaoshu prepared to start refining this peculiar elixir.
The refining method of this pill was different from Han Xiaoshu's refining in the past.
Ordinary pills are extracted from the liquid and then condensed into pills.
And the method of refining this elixir described in the jade slip was a bit puzzling to Han Xiaoshu.
The first step is the same as ordinary pills, and the excipients are put into the pill furnace to extract the liquid.
After the liquid medicine can be extracted, it is very different from ordinary pills.
The description in the jade slip is that in Han Xiaoshu's understanding, it is to discard the medicinal liquid after extracting it, leaving behind the herbs that have faded from moisture.
Then the herbs are ground into powder, and finally the powders of all the excipients are mixed.
After the mixing is completed, it is directly placed on the Dan fire and quenched to burn the remaining impurities.
After all is completed, the refined Dan Shell and the Phantom Flower are re-placed into the Dan Furnace.
Finally, the medicinal liquid extracted from the phantom flower is absorbed by using the medicinal shell to complete.
The whole step is far from the alchemy technique that Han Xiaoshu has made.
It is neither like alchemy nor like a refiner.
It's more like a hybrid method that combines alchemy and refining.
After recombing the alchemy technique, Han Xiaoshu first began to try to refine the shell of the elixir.
Although it seems simple, several attempts have failed.
Originally, it was just for the extraction of the potion, so I didn't pay much attention to the rest of it.
Now it is really not easy to keep the rhizome of the faded liquid intact.
When Han Xiaoshu used up the excipients he purchased, Han Xiaoshu got a total of two pill shells that had not yet been quenched.
Not surprisingly, during the quenching stage of the elixir shell, both semi-finished products failed one after another.
Even Han Xiaoshu's fire control techniques are extremely proficient.
But there were still many surprises when refining this special elixir.
got up and stretched, and before he knew it, it had been a night since Han Xiaoshu had refined this pill shell.
got up and left the courtyard and came to the front desk, the shopkeeper was sorting out the accounts, and when he saw Han Xiaoshu's arrival, he got up and asked.
"What service do adults need. ”
"Help me buy some herbs and send them to my yard. ”
As he spoke, Han Xiaoshu took out a list with a lot of medicinal materials densely written on it.
In it, not only the excipients mentioned in the jade slip are recorded, but there are also many medicinal materials for refining the basic pills.
"This is for you, you don't need to look for more, but the quality of the medicinal materials must be good. ”
Han Xiaoshu threw out a medium-grade spirit stone and handed it to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper saw that Han Xiaoshu used a medium-grade spirit stone to make himself purchase, and nodded again and again.
I said in my heart that I had met the God of Wealth.
......
In less than an hour, the shopkeeper personally came to the courtyard with the medicinal materials that Han Xiaoshu needed.
"Look, my lord, the medicinal materials you need are here, and I have purchased them for you.
A total of nine lower-grade spirit stones were spent. ”
While handing over those medicinal materials to Han Xiaoshu, he reported the cost of procurement.
"Well, you can take the rest. Don't let anyone in without my command. ”
When the head coach heard Han Xiaoshu's words and drove away, he hurriedly retired, and promised that no one would disturb Han Xiaoshu.
After yesterday's overnight refining, the first step of refining was no longer a problem for Han Xiaoshu.
Within half a day, more than a dozen unquenched shells appeared in front of him.
Disperse the Dan Flame of the Dan Furnace, Han Xiaoshu did not directly place the shell on the Dan Fire to quench it as described in the Jade Slip this time.
Danhuo began to change after it emerged in Han Xiaoshu's hands.
Eventually, it turned into a circular fireball.
The inside of the fireball is hollow, so that the shell can be placed directly into the fireball, and the shell can be quenched by all-round flames.
The reason for the failure of quenching of the two shells last night was the uneven heating.
In the process of heating on one side, the other side begins to disperse and cannot be completely affected by the heat.
When everything was ready, Han Xiaoshu put a half-finished shell into the fireball.
The refining went smoothly, and the entire shell began to shrink as the fireball heated up on an average basis.
But before the effect mentioned in the jade slip was achieved, the outside of the shell began to turn black, and the entire pill turned brown.
Taking out the shell from the fireball, Han Xiaoshu crushed it with his hand and found the root of the problem after squeezing it slightly.
The flame has just been heated too fast, causing the powder of the outer shell to be heated and hardened, and the inside cannot be completely quenched.
Eventually, the heat was concentrated on the shell, leading to failure.
Having learned the lesson of this time, Han Xiaoshu began to try again and again.
"The temperature is not enough. ”
"The outside temperature is too low. ”
"It's not close. ”
"When Izutan is cold, the shell cracks. ”
Finally, in Han Xiaoshu's improvement again and again, a mellow elixir finally appeared in Han Xiaoshu's hand.
If you just look at the appearance, you can't see any difference, the surface is the same round luster, and from time to time there is Dan Qi surrounding the surroundings.
But if you hold the pill in your hand, you will find that this pill is very hard.
Han Xiaoshu pinched it in his hand, and if he didn't use his eyes to observe it, he would feel that it was an iron ball.
"How do you swallow this thing. ”
Han Xiaoshu looked at the pill in his hand and was secretly worried, he compared the pill in his hand with the description in the jade slip.
The description in it was no different from the elixir he had refined, and the alchemy techniques were all in accordance with the jade slip except for a slight improvement.
"Let's leave it at that, let's finish the last step. ”
