Chapter 11: Alchemy
There are not many pills that can be practiced in the Dan Hall now, and it just so happens that Zhuji Dan is one of them. In ancient times, Tsukidan was not as rare as it is today. Nowadays, in martial arts, even alchemists who can do alchemy are extremely rare, most of them directly stir up the herbs and then use them directly, but this use often loses the essence of the herbs, and the function of the herbs cannot be brought into full play.
Alchemy is a test of human experience and spiritual power. The early stage of alchemy was very expensive and labor-intensive. Nowadays, the Great Martial Arts may only have the financial resources of the four major sects to support the alchemist, and the status of the alchemist in the entire continent is extremely respected.
Fang Xing found the housekeeper to withdraw two thousand taels of silver tickets and then came to the Treasure Pavilion, intending to go to the Treasure Pavilion to buy the materials needed.
Fang Xing asked the fat boss to buy a lot of herbs, Fang Xing was afraid that the formula would be exposed, and he specially mixed some other elixirs into it, these elixirs were ready to be used to configure a medicinal bath to enhance his physique, and he was going to go back to give Xiao Hei a bubble bath, Xiao Hei would definitely like it.
It is worthy of being the top chamber of commerce in the mainland, and sure enough, the categories are complete, and the materials that Fang Xing needs are basically all available, which saves a lot of trouble.
"Boss, calculate how much these herbs cost. Fang Xing asked the boss after picking it.
The fat boss handed Fang Xing a small wooden sign and said, "This is what our young lady told me to hand over to Fang Gongzi before leaving, if you don't come today, the little one will be preparing to come to the door in two days." ”
Fang Xing took the wooden card, it was very exquisite, there was a big treasure word engraved on it, and the wooden card did not know what material it was, it was very textured in his hand, and he smelled it carefully, and there was a faint fragrance.
"Fang Gongzi, with this wooden card, you can go to any branch of the Treasure Pavilion to enjoy a 20% discount, so this time Fang Gongzi bought a total of 1,500 taels of herbs. ”
Fang Xing looked at the wooden card in a trance, and thought it was some kind of love token for himself, and he was still thinking about whether it was too shabby to send a wooden card with a love token, but he didn't expect it to be a coupon. Well, so he happily handed over the money. Sure enough, it costs money to practice martial arts, and the poor really can't afford it.
Fang Xing returned with a full load and returned to his room with a bunch of herbs.
Honeysuckle, red sandalwood, chamomile flowers... , Fang Xing followed Dan Fang's instructions and threw them into the bathtub the same. In the end, he prepared a basin of perfect tonic bath water, and he planned to prepare the bath water for Xiao Hei first, so that he could also strengthen his body, so that he would not be beaten to death by someone like his mother.
After the preparation was completed, Fang Xing looked at his masterpiece with a little joy, it was not as difficult as he imagined. At this time, Xiao Hei was very abnormal and didn't sleep, and I don't know if it was because he was disturbed by Fang Xing's voice or felt the malice from Fang Xing. Fang Xing was actually not very sure in his heart, but with his concept, he felt that people should be similar to dogs, and if they were useful to people, they should also be good for dogs.
Fang Xing picked up Xiao Hei who was about to run away, and threw him into the bathtub despite his protests, the bathtub was very high, nearly half a person high, Xiao Hei struggled as soon as he came into contact with the water, obviously it was a dog, but how could the screaming sound be so like killing a pig. Xiao Hei couldn't stand the powerful medicinal power, grabbed the edge of the basin, and wanted to escape, Fang Xing quickly clicked on its acupoint, so that it couldn't move, and then released some of the water in the bathtub, so that he would not be drowned if he didn't move. Fang Xing used his spiritual sense to tell him that this medicinal bath was good for him, and he didn't know if Fang Xing's words had an effect or if he was used to the medicinal power, Xiao Hei's resistance from the beginning slowly turned into enjoyment, and Fang Xing only then unlocked his acupoint. This is Xiao Hei really no longer ran out, but quietly soaked in the basin, and occasionally there was a low barking sound.
Fang Xing may not know that this is not necessarily good news for him, he inadvertently cultivated another hobby for Xiao Hei besides sleeping.
Fang Xing dealt with Xiao Hei and finally freed up his hands to prepare for Liandan. Alchemy needs to be burned, this kind of thing is not suitable for doing it in the room, and there is no special alchemy room in the palace, so Fang Xing can only go to the courtyard, which coincides with Li Ying being lonely in the courtyard to admire the moon. Li Ying saw Fang Xing coming to the yard with bottles and cans, and she also came over curiously. "Fang Xing, did you buy these things back with the money you were given during the day, are you going to stew medicinal food to eat, just tell the kitchen to do this kind of thing, do you need to go to the yard in the middle of the night to get it?" Li Ying asked curiously.
Fang Xing didn't bother to explain to her, and explained her with her understanding, and it was estimated that it was dawn. Fang Xing threatened: "This can make me stronger, if you really don't want to marry Shao Wei, don't bother me." ”
Li Ying closed her mouth in amusement. But the anger in her eyes still erupted uncontrollably, but Fang Xing ignored her anger, and began to light a fire with the firewood he had just found from the kitchen, and put the Dan stove from the Treasure Pavilion on top of the fire, and then put the medicinal materials into it one by one, and all the medicinal materials melted into the essence of the medicinal liquid under the fire, and kept fusing in the Dan furnace. At this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew, Fang Xing hurried his luck Golden Dragon Jue, a pure internal force to protect the fire, not to let the fire extinguish the fire, if the fire is extinguished at this time, everything will be wasted. The wind that lasted for about a cup of tea finally stopped, and this sudden incident made Fang Xing even more aware of the importance of having a quiet and closed alchemy room.
Fang Xing was engrossed, and his eyes did not leave the Dan furnace for a moment. At this time, Li Ying was watching with great interest, and at this moment, seeing that Fang Xing was finally a little more relaxed, she hurriedly came up and asked, "Fang Xing, are you alchemizing? Are you still an alchemist?"
Fang Xing didn't have the energy to care about her, so he left her aside. Li Ying saw that Fang Xing ignored herself, and was about to get angry, when suddenly a strange fragrance came from the air. Fang Xing knew that this was probably the Ning Dan mentioned in the book, as long as this step was successful, he could successfully refine the pill, Fang Xing's spiritual sense, probed into the Dan furnace, and found that the Dan inside was really formed, and was about to take out the pill, at this moment, the situation of the pill took a turn for the worse, and it instantly turned into a mess of paste. In the end, he still didn't succeed, he failed in the last step, Fang Xing didn't have a master to teach, everything had to rely on his own research, so Fang Xing didn't plan to succeed once, but when the failure really came, he was still a little frustrated. But he quickly adjusted his mentality and prepared to start again, the reason why he failed just now may be because he didn't take the pill in time in the end, so the pill was subjected to too much heat, and he should take out the pill in time in the end.
At this time, Li Ying also gradually changed from the initial interest to boring, she yawned and woke up and said, "Fang Xing, you take it slowly, I'll go back to the room to sleep first." ”
Fang Xing didn't look back, nodded slightly, and responded. I continued to immerse myself in the world of alchemy, failed the second time, failed the third time, and didn't succeed until the fourth time. Fang Xing looked at the three pills in his palm, and secretly said that this alchemy is really expensive and laborious, and he will have to find a place to study it in the future, otherwise he will have a wild way like this, the success rate is too low, and now refining low-grade pills, the loss is not too big, if the success rate of refining high-grade pills in the future is still like this, the loss will be too great. Fang Xing looked at the sky, it was almost hour, he tidied up the yard a little, and then returned to his room with three pills.
