Hearing Lu Guozhong ask about himself, Shanhe took a closer look at the three-color object in his hand, pondered for a moment and said:

"Could it be...... This is the essence of that Liu Jinu grass?"

Hearing this, Lu Guozhong nodded appreciatively and said:

"That's right, this thing is the essence of medicinal properties that has been refined! The reason why the method of extracting medicine is so famous in the cultivation realm is that it can refine medicinal materials into different essences according to different medicinal effects!" Speaking of this, Lu Guozhong pointed to the different colors of "jelly beans" in his hand and explained:

"You see, like this red essence, it is condensed from the healing effect of that Liu Jinu grass. After taking it, patients can invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, heal injuries and diseases, and the effect is similar to that of Healing Pill. This green extract is a condensation of the detoxifying properties of herbs, which can be dealt with by ordinary toxins. How's that, compared to the healing technique in your hand, my medicine method is not inferior, right?"

After listening to the other party's explanation, Shanhe nodded brightly.

It turned out that the red jelly bean was the healing essence of the herb, and the small mung bean was the detoxification essence, both of which were extracted from the herbs by the method of extraction.

Compared to complex alchemy, this method is indeed simple and practical, and easy to operate. No matter how you look at it, it is a must-have skill for home travel and monster fighting!

If you can learn this method, at least in terms of healing drugs in the future, Shanhe will no longer have to bother.

When the stock is insufficient, it is much easier to find some medicinal materials to decompose and refine and make a bunch of red jelly beans for later use, which is much easier than looking around for healing pills.

Therefore, after listening to the director's explanation, Shanhe was inevitably moved.

"Director, what are the little gray pills?" asked after a while, Shanhe pointed to the gray "button" on the side.

"This gray thing is the dross and toxins of medicinal herbs. Do not take it, just throw it away. ”

"Oh, that's rubbish. By the way, are there any other colors besides red and green?"

"Of course!"

Seeing that Shanhe was so interested, Lu Guozhong introduced it to his liking:

"The essence obtained by the extraction method depends on the composition of the herb itself. Like this Liu Jinu grass, it is a good medicine for healing and detoxification, so there are only two essences: red and green. If it is used in rare medicinal materials, there will also be extracts with different effects such as blue and yellow. In some of the treasures, there are even rare purple essences. Hehe, if you learn this method, whether it is practicing or fighting, it will be of great benefit!"

Seeing that there were so many types of essences, the mountains and rivers came to the spirit again, and asked with great interest:

"Oh, there are so many, what's the use of blue essence?"

"It can restore true qi, and the effect is equivalent to that of the Qi Returning Pill. ”

"What about the yellow ones?"

"It calms the mind and removes distractions. ”

"Oh, that'...... What about the purple ones?"

"Hehe, the purple essence is amazing...... "After a big breath, Lu Guozhong said proudly:

"After taking it, you can directly improve your cultivation!How about it, this medicinal method is even more powerful than you imagined, right?"

After hearing this, Shanhe's eyes lit up, and it was not difficult to see that he even liked the method of extracting medicine.

Especially when he heard that purple essence could improve his cultivation, his heart was even more excited.

Not long ago, Shanhe decided not to kill demons in the future. This means that in the future, he will be eaten by the bracelet every week to lose a layer of cultivation.

If you want to maintain your cultivation without descending, relying on the demon pill alone is definitely far from enough.

Therefore, after learning that there was another way to improve his cultivation, he instantly showed a look of yearning.

However, after a few seconds, Shanhe thought of another question:

If the method of extracting medicine is so powerful, then why would anyone still have alchemy? Wouldn't it be easier to change all of them to the method of extracting medicine?

One can be directly transformed into a drinkable essence by simply rubbing it with your hands. If you are lucky, you can also harvest things that improve your cultivation;

The other requires a Dan furnace, a Dan fire, and complex medicinal materials and prescriptions, plus a long time of refining to be able to practice.

Isn't the latter a lot more clumsy in comparison?

After learning about Shanhe's confusion, Lu Guozhong did not hide it, and objectively told Shanhe about the difference between the extraction method and alchemy.

Although the alchemy of the Yuanyang Sect and the extraction method of the Liankui Sect both use medicinal materials to refine the medicines needed by cultivators, there is still a big difference in the functions of the two.

Compared with alchemy, the Extraction Technique is simple, fast, and easy to use, and no matter where you are, as long as you have a moment of peace, you can perform this method.

But at the same time, because of this, its function is relatively simple.

Even the best medicinal herbs in the world can only be extracted into six or seven different colors.

Moreover, the potency of each essence is very fixed, the red is healing, and the blue is the return qi, and it will not change.

Therefore, no matter how good the medicinal materials are and how high the level of the exercises, the method of extracting medicine only has seven effects at most.

Alchemy, on the other hand, is different!

In Danfang alone, there are thousands of kinds in the Yuanyang Sect, and the functions are also strange, and they are by no means comparable to the fixed effects of the extraction method.

It's like the reborn effect of the marrow cleansing pill, the poison repelling pill that is not afraid of strong poison, the face of the eternal face of the rejuvenating pill, etc., these functions can never be done by the extraction method.

In addition, in addition to the poor function, the utilization efficiency of medicinal properties is also very different.

Because the method of extraction is fast and convenient, it is inevitable that there will be a loss in medicinal properties when refining the essence.

For example, a herb has ten parts of medicinal properties, and if it is refined by the method of extraction, even if it is a top medicine extractor, it can only take ninety percent of it, and the other part is wasted. If you switch to a novice operation, the loss will be even greater.

Alchemy, on the other hand, is the complete opposite.

It not only adopts the closed refining method, but also adds different auxiliary drugs to each Dan prescription to avoid the loss of medicinal properties, coupled with a long time of refining, even the lowest-level Dan Master can retain the medicinal effect at more than ninety percent.

Therefore, it makes sense that the alchemy method is complex and slow, and it is by no means as useless as Shanhe imagined.

After listening to this story, Shanhe can be regarded as figuring out the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods.

At the same time, he also heard that the method of extracting medicine also seemed to be ranked.

When asked below, it is clear that the method of extraction is similar to the healing technique, and it is also divided into nine levels. The Nine Realms are the highest, and the One Realm is the lowest.

The biggest difference between high and low level is the refining efficiency of the efficacy.

The lowest-level method of extracting medicine can only extract three or four percent of the efficacy. The remaining potency will turn into gray dross along with the impurities.

Only by practicing to the ninefold realm can the efficiency be increased to more than ninety. But if you want to ascend to the Ninefold Realm, it must be a long process.

After talking for nearly half an hour, Lu Guozhong's mouth was dry, and after drinking most of the cup of tea, Fang asked Shanhe with a smile:

"What about mountains and rivers, do you have the answer now?"
