Chapter 31: Alchemy Keeping Up with the Times
After entering the house, Su Zhe first carried everything into the kitchen, took out all the 17 kinds of medicinal materials needed for alchemy for a while, simply divided them into categories, and placed them one by one. Then, instead of immediately starting the alchemy, he turned around and went to the bedroom to sit down cross-legged and began to run the Qi Channeling Technique.
Twelve hours have passed since the last time I practiced. Alchemy is not in a hurry, but cultivation cannot be delayed for a moment.
On the other side, time is reversed a little.
After entering the elevator, Ding Qian's brows still did not stretch.
Although she couldn't help but scold, her good mood was completely ruined.
"Neurotic!"
After holding it for a long time, she finally couldn't hold back and cursed softly. It's just that after scolding, there was a sudden "ding dong" sound in my ears. She was stunned at first, and then took out her mobile phone from her satchel and took a look.
Anna: Did you go out?
Rolling her eyes slightly, Ding Qian unlocked the phone and replied: What are you urging, it's time to get off the elevator.
As soon as the send button was pressed, the elevator shuddered slightly and stopped. At the same time, there was a "ding" sound, and the door slowly opened.
"Ding Dong!"
Anna: Grandma, we've been waiting for you here for half an hour, and you've just left the house. Are you embarrassed to say that I urged you?
“...”
Wrinkled her nose slightly, Ding Qian herself felt a little embarrassed. With her head down, she pressed quickly on her phone as she walked towards the elevator. But with this step, her face changed suddenly, her body instantly lost her balance, and she involuntarily fell to the ground.
"Ah!!h
The knee of her right leg and the elbow of her right hand slammed into the hard marble floor, causing Ding Qian's entire face to twist together, and tears involuntarily burst out of her eyes.
"Shhhh It hurts..."
Ding Qian, who was sitting on the ground, glanced at her knees and elbows. The skin was broken, and blood was seeping out little by little along the wound.
I looked back and looked in the direction of the elevator door. At this time, the door was slowly opening, and in the crack of the door, the heel of a high-heeled shoe was jammed.
Look at the shoe on his right foot, it has become a flat sole.
"Woo... Why are you so unlucky!"
Reaching out, she took out a pack of tissues from her bag, and wiped the blood on her hands and knees, while sobbing quietly. After slowing down for a while, she finally felt a little better, and then she slowly got up from the ground and limped towards the place where the phone fell.
When I fell just now, the phone flew out four or five meters away, and I don't know if it was broken.
"Ahhh
Moaned in pain, but Ding Qian still endured the pain and bent down to pick up the phone. At first glance, sure enough, the screen has been shattered into a flower.
With a soft sigh, she pressed the power button.
"Huh?"
No response. She directly reached out and held it, but the screen was still black.
She couldn't help but pick up the phone and slam it the palm of her left hand a few times, and then pressed it again to turn it on, but there was still no movement.
"How can this be!"
After muttering to herself with a distressed face, inexplicably, Ding Qian's mind suddenly sounded the words that Su Zhe had said to her just now.
"The disaster of blood and light, the omen of ruined wealth..."
"It must be him! It's that guy! It's him who affects my mood, so I accidentally fell!"
"What kind of bloody plague ruins the omen, I don't believe in this evil. Didn't you say I'd be unlucky? I'm going to go out and prove it to you!"
As she spoke, Ding Qian touched the tears in the corners of her eyes. Gritting his teeth, he moved step by step to the president of his red Maserati, unlocked the car door and sat in.
Hung up neutral and pressed the throttle hard. Fortunately, it hurts to walk, but it doesn't affect her driving.
"Su Zhe, right? From now on, if I don't encounter any bad luck again, you see how I clean you up when I come back!"
Gritting her teeth, Ding Qian swore hatefully, then said no more, released the clutch from the gear, and slowly drove the car out of the underground garage.
Su Zhe didn't know that his prophecy would come true so soon, but even if he knew, he wouldn't have much of a feeling.
Sometimes people are like this, if they don't suffer, they won't believe anything you tell him.
After the operation of a big week, the time had come to more than eleven o'clock. Silently feeling the size of the spirit seed in his body, Su Zhe nodded with satisfaction, and then got out of bed. Just as he stood up straight, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Huh, why is it so dark?"
Su Zhe was stunned, and then came to the window and opened the curtains. I found out that it was actually raining, and it was a heavy rainstorm.
"It's raining so hard, can my painting teacher still come?"
Gently twitching the corners of his mouth, Su Zhe sighed secretly, shook his head helplessly, and said to himself: "I hope I can stop sooner." ”
After praying, he turned around and went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then threw the Versace casual clothes he had changed into into the washing machine. Then he went to the kitchen to order a bowl of noodles for himself, and after eating, after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, he came to stand in front of the pile of medicinal herbs.
"First put ginseng, atractylodes and licorice, then astragalus and deer antler..."
Carefully comparing the pills of Xiao Yunling, Su Zhe first rearranged all the medicinal materials in the order in which they were put in, and then picked up the soup pot and put it on the gas stove.
“... Why do you feel so unreliable?"
Isn't this nonsense? Soup pot and gas stove alchemy?
"Forget it. Who told you that you couldn't control the fire? Try it first, what if it does?"
After muttering softly, Su Zhe no longer hesitated and lit the fire.
“5、4、3、2、1...”
After reading the last number, Su Zhe violently opened the lid of the pot, and at the same time poured all the ginseng and atractylodes and licorice that had been prepared into it, and then quickly covered it.
"According to the alchemy records, it now needs to be smoldered on a high fire for about ten minutes. But this doesn't come with water, and it's been burned for so long... Is it really okay?"
Staring at the soup pot in front of him, Su Zhe was beating a drum in his heart. What if Dan doesn't practice this and burns the pot first?
But it's all already started, and he can only wait patiently. Anyway, you have to try it first, don't you?
"Huh?"
While his mind was thinking wildly, Su Zhe suddenly noticed that something was wrong.
Since no water was added, there was naturally no steam in the pot. Through the transparent glass on the soup pot, he could clearly see the three piles of medicinal herbs inside, and the little yellow fluorescence emitted from them.
Of course, that's not the point. Because these points of light don't appear out of nowhere. They've always been there. It's just that others can't see it.
What really shocked Su Zhe was that the fluorescence, which was not particularly bright, was rapidly dissipating. In the blink of an eye, it was nearly a third of the way down!
"It's... What's going on?"
The heart slammed. He doesn't have to think about it, he knows that this is not a good thing. Even, he had a hunch. Once the aura in these medicinal materials completely dissipated, then this refining could also be declared a failure.
"No, we have to find a way!"
I was so anxious that I couldn't do it, but my mind was a mess.
He didn't know what to do now.
Not to mention that no one teaches, even if someone teaches, the other party is afraid that there is no way to teach.
After all, he is now using a gas stove and a soup pot to make alchemy!
"Hmm? wait... Now that's just the first step, and I haven't done anything yet. If there is a problem, there are only two points that will appear. One, it's not okay to be a pot. Second, the heat is wrong. ”
"I can't solve the problem of the pot at the moment, so let's try to see if the heat is wrong. ”
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look inside the pot again. At this time, there was only a quarter of the aura in the pile of medicinal herbs left.
"It's going by so fast, maybe it's too hot. ”
As soon as this thought came to him, he immediately turned down the fire a little. At the same time, his eyes were always fixed on the inside of the pot.
"Huh, the speed at which the aura is dissipating... It seems to have really slowed down. ”
Seeing this, Su Zhe immediately had confidence.
"Sure enough, my guess was right. ”
Now that he had the right idea, he didn't hesitate. Begin to reduce the heat. And as he continued to adjust, the dissipation speed of the aura in the medicinal herbs became slower and slower, until it stopped completely.
"It's done!"
A sense of joy instantly surged into his heart, and the corners of Su Zhe's mouth unconsciously raised.
"Luckily, I'm using a soup pot. If I had used an alchemy furnace, where could I see these changes? Therefore, the ancients were not necessarily all right. At the very least, their approach may not be suitable for everyone. Especially a genius like me!"
After a smug smugness, Su Zhe looked down at the pot again. At this time, the remaining spiritual energy in the three medicinal materials was already very small. However, Su Zhe did not stop refining this time because of this, because he didn't know what would happen later, since this was the case, this first time it was all about accumulating experience.
In short, let's finish all the alchemy processes first!
Minutes and seconds passed. But to Su Zhe's surprise, the time was only 7 minutes, and the medicinal materials in the pot had already begun to fuse in advance.
"Hmm, what's the situation? The time has been advanced, is it because of the difference between the pot and the alchemy furnace, or is it because the heat is controlled?"
I don't understand. However, it did not affect Su Zhe to immediately open the lid of the pot, and then threw the astragalus deer antler into it.
Only this time, he didn't continue to adjust according to the heat recorded in the Danfang. Instead, keep an eye on the inside of the pot.
Through it, carefully observe all the changes inside.
"Huh? It doesn't seem to be responding? Holy!"
With a strange scream, Su Zhe suddenly leaned back. The next moment, a dark shadow almost brushed against his chin, flying straight to the roof. Fortunately, he reacted in time and hurriedly stretched out his right hand to grab it. This prevented a rain of glass. It's just that when he saw the situation inside the pot clearly, his face instantly fell.
Medicine... It's all mushy. There is no aura left in it.
There is no doubt that the first pill refining failed.
"Why is this happening?"
Su Zhe was not unacceptable to this result. On the contrary, he was mentally prepared to fail at the beginning. However, failure must be valuable. He had to figure out why he failed.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute. Knocking lightly on the door of his head, Su Zhe said thoughtfully: "The fire was turned on too much before, and as a result, the spiritual energy in the medicinal herbs quickly dissipated. And after I put in the astragalus deer antler velvet, there was no response at first, and then suddenly it was like this. Does that mean that the second time is because the fire is too small?"
"Oh no... Su Zhe, you are so stupid. How do you find the right temperature for the first process? Anyway, you can see the aura in the medicinal herbs and be able to clearly grasp their changes, since there is a precedent for success, why not just continue along this line of thought?"
The more he thought about it, the brighter Su Zhe's eyes became. He knows what to do!
