Chapter Twenty-Seven: Success in Alchemy

Three hours later, Liu Ming finally finished sorting the two piles of medicinal herbs, he rubbed his swollen eyes, and returned to Master Wu's body. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Master Wu closed the book, smiled and said to Liu Ming: "You practice a furnace of medicinal materials first, and I will see if I can make progress." ”

Then Master Wu recited a mantra and pointed his finger at the Dan furnace, and the temperature in the Ding furnace rose rapidly. Liu Ming saw it and said to Master Wu curiously, "Teacher, how did this Dan furnace start?"

Master Wu smiled dumbly and said, "To activate the Dan furnace, you need to cultivate a spell called the fire technique, you have just learned to refine medicine now, you don't need to master it, but since you are interested, you will teach you for the teacher in a while." ”

Feeling that the temperature in the ding had arrived, Liu Ming picked up a medicinal herb, threw it into the ding, and then meticulously controlled the temperature.

At first, Master Wu didn't feel anything, as the medicinal materials gradually melted, he gradually felt surprised, Liu Ming was still rusty last time refining medicine, but now he is not only skilled, but also the control of temperature is improving by leaps and bounds, not at all like a medicine boy who is learning to refine medicine, and the current level is not much better than Liu Huan.

Seeing that the medicinal materials in the ding were completely melted, the shock in Master Wu's heart could no longer be described in words. Although he already knew that Liu Ming's talent was very high, but now he found that this Liu Ming was not only a genius, but also a complete demon.

Of course, what he didn't know was that Liu Ming had burned more medicinal materials in the past four days than others had in three months. This is not too much.

"Teacher, why can't this slurry be condensed into a pill? Liu Ming looked at the black ash in the ding and asked with great disappointment.

Only then did Master Wu come back to his senses, coughed, calmed down his state of mind, and said slowly: "Qi is divided into yin and yang, medicine is divided into five elements, after the herbs are refined, only when the five elements are cleared, yin and yang are combined, can the dragon and tiger converge and condense into a pill." The medicinal herbs you used just now have different amounts, and the five elements clash with each other, so you can't become a pill. ”

Liu Ming suddenly realized, no wonder he kept failing, it turned out that the proportion of medicinal materials was wrong. But how to control the proportion, he looked at Master Wu with hope.

Master Wu continued: "In order to ensure the balance of medicinal power, in addition to indicating the name of the medicinal material, each Danfang also mentions the quantity, according to the Danfang, there will be no mistake in general, but the same medicinal material, because of the different years, the medicinal power contained in each plant is also different, which requires the selection of medicinal materials." ”

Hearing this, Liu Ming finally understood the meaning of Master Wu's letting him distinguish medicinal materials, not that the higher the medicinal power, the better, only by balancing can he practice the pill. He had never seen Danfang before, and how could he practice medicine with an average match.

Finding the crux of the problem, Liu Ming couldn't wait to select the five medicinal materials needed for the Quenching Pill, each of which he thought was the same year, and was preparing to put it into the medicine tripod again according to the number of instructions from Master Wu.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a voice as pleasant as a yellow warbler came in: "Master, Zhao Ting and Huang Yi ask to see, we have news of Tongtiancao." “

Master Wu looked happy and asked Liu Ming to open the door. Zhao Ting, dressed in a green shirt, walked in, followed by a long-haired young man, Liu Ming recognized that this Huang Yi was also one of Master Wu's disciples.

Seeing Liu Ming, Zhao Ting felt a pang in her heart, just downstairs just now, the medicine boy Wang Cheng didn't let her come up, saying that Master Wu had something important and should not be disturbed. She relied on the fact that she was Master Wu's personal disciple to break in. How could this Huo Gan be in?

Although she was full of suspicions, she didn't want to ask too much, so she came to Master Wu and said, "Master, Senior Brother Huang and I have finally found out the news of Tongtiancao from a spirit master's notes, and the location is ....... Zhao Ting glanced at Liu Ming next to her, and stopped talking.

Master Wu waved his hand and said, "Huo Gan is not an outsider, but it doesn't hurt for you to say it." ”

Huang Yi, who was already jealous when he saw Master Wu guiding Liu Ming alone, now heard Master Wu say that this young man who had just come for a few days was not an outsider, and his face was even more indignant, and his gloomy eyes were full of resentment.

Zhao Ting glanced at Liu Ming in surprise, and then said: "The location is the Hidden Dragon Valley, five hundred miles west of the city, we went to explore together, but there is a formation in the valley to cover it, and we can't get in, so my father asked me to invite Master Wu to discuss countermeasures." “

Hearing that it was the head of the Zhao family who invited him, Master Wu did not hesitate, and said to Liu Ming:

"I'll go to Zhao's house first, and if you practice a few more times, you should be able to coagulate into a pill. The next step is to control the flames while continuing to separate spiritual power to control the size of the pills, and when all the pills are evenly sized, they can try to refine the impurities and improve the efficacy of the pills. “

Zhao Ting and Huang Yi were shocked at the same time, both suspecting that their ears had heard it wrong, and they looked at Liu Ming with their mouths wide open, coagulated into pills, as geniuses and with family support, it took more than a year to barely do it, Huo Gan, a kid who collected medicine, only studied refining medicine for a few days, and he could achieve the same achievements as them. That's impossible!

Looking at Zhao Ting and Huang Yi's shocked expressions, Master Wu also felt that this blow was a little cruel to these two disciples who claimed to be geniuses, but this is the case, if under Huo Gan's blow, they can be ashamed and brave, it is also a good thing, if they lose confidence and give up on themselves, they are not worthy of being his disciples.

So, Master Wu stood up, waved his sleeves, and said, "You two, follow me to Zhao's house." “

It wasn't until Master Wu got up that the two came back to their senses, hurriedly followed, and when they arrived at the door, they looked back at Liu Ming at the same time, with different expressions.

Seeing that the three of them had left, Liu Ming was still guessing what Tongtian Grass was, Master Wu actually attached so much importance to it, he looked at the medicinal materials on the medicine shelf, and suddenly remembered that it was the main medicinal material for refining Zhuji Dan. It doesn't seem to have much to do with him, so it's better to hurry up and refine the medicine at present.

Liu Ming gathered his mind, put the medicinal materials he had prepared just now into the ding, and looked at the medicinal materials in the ding, his mood at this time was three points nervous, three points excited, and three points excited. He held his breath and carefully controlled the temperature in the ding, not even daring to take a breath of air.

Finally, under Liu Ming's expectant eyes, the brown medicinal slurry gradually dried up, forming several balls of different sizes, and finally condensed into pills.

"It's done. Liu Ming jumped up excitedly, immediately withdrew his spiritual power, wiped the sweat from his face, and gasped for breath. Then he practiced the pill himself, and his face was full of excitement.

After resting for a while, Liu Ming continued to practice until the evening, but Master Wu still did not come back, and he went back on his own.

The next day, Liu Ming bought the medicinal materials again, put the same year together, after a day of practice, there was a fifty percent chance of successful refining, and the size of the pill, although it could not be completely consistent, but it was also passable, at least on the outside, it already had the appearance of a pill.

Looking at the more than a hundred pills in front of him, Liu Ming tilted his head and thought about what to do with it, he didn't need the quenching pill himself, and he couldn't use it so much for Mo Alienation, and the rest should be able to be sold. Going to set up a stall? He didn't have that time.

By the way, Hu Buyi is now the shopkeeper of Changchun Building, you can find him to find a way.

So, Liu Ming found two vials, filled them with ten quenching pills each, and went to Changchun Tower to find Hu Buyi and explain his intentions. Hu Buyi was so shocked that he was speechless when he saw that Liu Ming had become a pharmacist so quickly, and the quality of the pills was actually not bad.

Every time Liu Ming came to Changchun Hall to learn alchemy, Hu Buyi was very clear, and he only counted it twice, a total of less than ten days, and he became a pharmacist directly. He thought about how it took him five years to go from a medicine boy to a pharmacist, and now ten years later, he is still a pharmacist. This person is really angry compared to people, and he has lived to a dog at his age.

However, although he was unhappy, he could only complain in his heart, after all, he and Liu Ming were still old acquaintances, as long as he hugged Liu Ming's thighs tightly, the faster Liu Ming grew up, the more stable his position in Changchun Hall would be.

And as the shopkeeper of Changchun Hall, he understands the sales of quenching pills, although the effect is not as good as the Qi Gathering Pill, but because the Qi Gathering Pill is difficult to buy on the market, ordinary people use the Quenching Pill in the body forging and qi training stages, and they are not worried about sales.

Thinking of this, Hu Buyi patted his chest and said, "Brother Huo's body quenching pill, just give it to me, ten lower grade spirit stones for a bottle." ”

Liu Ming secretly calculated that the cost of each quenching pill required about one spirit stone, and at his current level, one could be practiced with four, and the success rate was about five layers, and on average, one medicinal material could refine two pills, and the price was two spirit stones. In other words, profit is a spirit stone.

"Get rich!" Liu Ming was ecstatic in his heart, according to his current ability, if he went all out, he could refine more than a hundred pieces a day, and the profit would be a hundred spirit stones. Later the proficiency increases, and the profit will be greater.

Liu Ming saw that Hu Buyi's purchase price was the same as on the market, and knew that Hu Buyi was showing favor to him, if it was just one bottle or two bottles, he felt that it was nothing, but what he hoped for was long-term cooperation, so he said: "I understand the kindness of the shopkeeper Hu, but in business, you also have to explain to Master Wu, just nine spirit stones for a bottle." ”

Through several interactions, Hu Buyi also understood that Liu Ming was a fair and honest person, and his deliberate sycophancy might backfire, so he no longer shirked and accepted Liu Ming's suggestion.
