MTL - Longevity Chart-Chapter 65 Unfathomable (ask for the first order!)
Chapter 65 Unfathomable (seeking the first order!)
Thinking of this, Xu Hong no longer had the fear just now, on the contrary, he became more confident, smiled lightly, and asked: "I don't know Pill Master Yang, what do you want to know?"
Yang Mo said: "[Qi Supplementing Liquid] requires a total of 27 kinds of medicinal materials to form a perfect closed loop. This is a prescription that has been passed down for at least hundreds of years. Later, although some people tried to change it, they all ended in failure. Why... Xu Danshi joined After the four kinds of medicinal materials, not only did it not disrupt, but the efficacy of the medicine was even higher?"
After going back yesterday, he also tried refining, but all ended in failure. After thinking about it all day and night, he still didn't understand what was going on.
Just ran over to ask, although he would put himself very low, but he really wanted to know.
"This…"
Xu Hong frowned.
It turns out that the question is so profound...I don't know how to speak if I want to fool you.
His refining method is to let Xu Ying drink the soup non-stop, and then judge according to the increase or decrease of lifespan, whether to add this medicine, how much to add, how long to cook... How can anyone know why the medicinal property is so high?
However, answering this way is obviously not enough...
So, since you can't answer, then don't answer!
Shaking his head, he looked over, "Pill Master Yang refines medicinal liquid for Yiqi Pavilion, we are in competition, if I tell you this, won't I create trouble for myself?"
Yang Mo hurriedly said: "I have already left from Yiqi Pavilion, and I will no longer refine medicinal liquid for it. This time, I am sincerely asking for advice!"
Xu Hong shuddered, as if he had no excuse...
Not explaining is not enough, not only the other party is suspicious, but Wei Ziyang who is not far away may feel that the so-called expert in his mouth is fake.
However, he couldn't help it, smiled slightly, and said: "Actually, it's nothing. Every medicinal material has its own characteristics. As long as you grasp the degree, it is not difficult to change the prescription... How about it, I want to hear from you first. How do you understand the addition of these four medicinal herbs?"
After pondering for a while, Yang Mo said: "The four herbs, Qingyecao, Yanyunhua, Tieligen and Agarwood, have different properties. If they are refined together, it is easy to cause mutual restraint. I tried to fuse them yesterday. Together, they discovered that a toxin was born, which can make people dizzy and have swollen lips. If it is mixed with the qi invigorating liquid, it will not only fail to improve the properties of the medicine, but will also cause side effects..."
The more he talked, the more confused he became. He looked at the man in black in front of him, hoping to get his opinion, but he saw that the other party didn't admit it or deny it, but just looked over, "Think again, is there anything I didn't expect?"
"This…"
Recalling again in his mind, after pondering for a moment, Yang Mo continued: "Green leaf grass, the attribute is wood, Yanyun flower, the attribute is fire, iron pear root, it belongs to gold, agarwood, buried deep underground, it is considered an earth attribute medicinal material...
"Huo overcomes gold, gold overcomes wood, wood overcomes soil, these four medicines have mutually restraining properties, no matter how you count them, they are difficult to suppress and cannot be integrated..."
Looking at the man in black again, he saw a smile on his face, with encouragement in his eyes, "Very good, it's close, it's almost there!"
With a shock in his heart, Yang Mo immediately came to his senses, and continued: "Among the other 27 kinds of medicinal materials, it seems that there are also water-type drugs. Does Master Xu mean to increase the dosage of these medicinal materials so that they can neutralize each other?
"its not right…
"In this case, it will destroy the previous stability, which will lead to the collapse of the balance of the entire prescription..."
Mumbling to himself, Yang Mo frowned more and more as he spoke.
Looking quietly at the man in black again, he saw his deep eyes, neither happy nor sad.
Could it be...wrong analysis?
It must be, otherwise, the other party wouldn't have this expression... This alchemist Xu is really unfathomable!
Feeling emotional in his heart, Yang Mo cheered up and thought seriously, while Xu Hong, who was opposite him, had empty eyes and was a little dazed, "What are you talking about with gold against wood and wood against soil? Why can't I understand a word..."
Can you make it simpler?
It’s just refining a liquid medicine, it’s fine to put it in a pot and cook it casually, and it also involves the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements... Longevity!
However, it doesn't matter if you understand or not, you can't let the other party see it, you still have to keep smiling...
hey-hey!
"Huh? He smiled? Could it be... I'm going in the right direction?"
The confusion in Yang Mo's heart disappeared, "If the balance of other medicines is not destroyed, these four medicines are the same as adding ordinary liquid, and it is impossible to double the efficacy of the medicine liquid. It seems that it is not the problem of these four herbs, but It's the whole recipe... there must be something else, I didn't realize..."
Speaking of this, he looked at the other party again.
Seeing his sincere gaze, the man in black nodded slowly.
"It seems that thinking in this direction is indeed right..."
After heaving a sigh of relief, Yang Mo continued to analyze: "This prescription, [Kanmucao] is the main ingredient, which has the effect of invigorating qi and increasing interest. Some low-level elixirs usually use this thing, but this medicine is overbearing. Incomparable, I need sheep flowers to neutralize..."
Soon, Pill Master Yang talked about the medicinal properties of more than a dozen medicinal herbs, and how to mix them... As he talked more and more, as if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bowed and cupped his fists, "Xu Pill Master, I take the liberty, I want to be Go ahead, try refining it once, if there is a mistake, if there is any deficiency, I hope you can give me some advice..."
Xu Hong nodded and said: "Of course! Practice is the only criterion for testing truth..."
"yes!"
Yang Mo secretly lamented that the realm of an expert is different. Immediately, he took a few steps to the middle of the hall, stroked his palm, and a huge alchemy furnace appeared in front of everyone.
This furnace tripod is two full circles larger than Xu Hong's, and is as tall as a person. There are countless strange golden patterns engraved on the surface, one circle after another, which is somewhat similar to the annual rings of a tree, and exudes a special atmosphere. , Just looking at it makes people feel a little dizzy.
"It seems that the pill furnace is also graded..."
Xu Hong nodded secretly.
No wonder Wei Ziyang said before that the one he bought was of the lowest grade. Only when he saw the other party’s did he realize that the gap is really huge, and it’s not the same grade at all.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help looking at Pavilion Master Wei, and saw that he seemed to have seen something terrible, his face was pale, and his body was trembling...
Just about to ask, a faint voice sounded.
"I started..."
Smiling slightly, the strength in Yang Pill Master's body surged, and he pointed his palm at the furnace cauldron and pressed it straight down.
Boom!
Feeling the power in his body, the patterns on the surface of the furnace suddenly twisted, like groups of wandering tadpoles. In an instant, a group of scorching flames were born out of thin air below, and the air waves rolled, blowing the air Burnt a little distorted.
"This…"
Blinking his eyes, Xu Hong couldn't help being stunned.
Could it be that a good pill furnace does not need to add firewood or coal?
What is that burning?
The different fire in the previous life novel?
"It's true yuan!"
Soon, Xu Hong understood.
The flames in front of me are stimulated by Alchemist Yang's true energy, combined with the array patterns, and they are not burning on their own. They should have nothing to do with the so-called different fires...
The flame was extremely hot, the temperature was far higher than that of charcoal fire. In just a dozen or so breaths, the furnace let out a long sound and turned red.
Raising his eyebrows, Pill Master Yang grabbed it in the air, and the herbs flew forward in order, and when they came into contact with the red cauldron wall, they were refined into a pure liquid in the blink of an eye.
The medicinal fragrance diffused, filling the whole room.
Xu Hong was shocked.
I thought that the so-called refining medicine was to boil the medicinal materials in a pot. After a long time of fussing, this was not the case at all... The other party's method was obviously pleasing to the eye and more aesthetically pleasing.
Accompanied by a bunch of medicinal materials, they were thrown in, and the melted liquid slowly gathered in the middle of the cauldron, and soon, a mass of milky white medicine droplets was formed.
The pattern flickered, the temperature of the flame continued to increase, and the medicine droplets boiled up. The medicine properties like oil and water were slowly fused together under the hot temperature.
After an unknown amount of time, the alchemy furnace shook violently, and the liquid droplets flew out, and landed impartially in a jade bottle next to it, which was just full.
Qi replenishing liquid!
After the refining was successful, Yang Mo was not at all excited, but took out a drop, put it in his palm, and immediately shook his head with a wry smile.
Feeling in my heart, I thought I had found the real refining method, but... same as last night, I failed again!
This bottle of liquid medicine still contains the toxicity that makes the lips swell and has not been eliminated...
Going back to Xu Hong, his eyes showed anticipation, "Xu Alchemist, you just watched my refining process, what is wrong, can you give me some pointers?"
"This…"
Xu Hong was silent.
Didn’t understand!
The order in which the other party put in the medicinal ingredients was completely different from his own. When no one was testing the medicine, he didn't know the refining process at all. Is there any problem? How can I give advice?
Seeing the other party's bright eyes, he knew that he must not be fooled like before. After pondering for a moment, he had no choice but to express his true feelings, "Since it is a medicinal liquid, why don't you add water?"
"???"
Yang Mo was stunned.
Refining medicine, isn't it to extract the medicinal properties from the medicinal materials and then fuse them with each other?
Add water...what the hell?
Seeing his expression, Xu Hong's eyelids couldn't help but twitch... It seems that he made a mistake!
Is this going to be revealed?
Just as he was thinking about what to do after his identity was exposed, he saw Pill Master Yang who was stunned, as if he had figured something out, his eyes became brighter, and he slapped his thigh, "That's right! It belongs to fire, iron pear root, metal, agarwood, and earth... the five elements lack water, once water is added, these four medicinal materials will change from mutually restraining to mutually reinforcing... the toxicity will naturally be neutralized..."
After holding back the difficult problem for a whole day and night, Yang Moman clasped his fists excitedly, "Thank you alchemist Xu for your guidance. I don't know, can I try another pot?"
"certainly!"
Xu Hong nodded, again bewildered.
Just said something casually, and you understood it?
After getting the consent, Yang Mo didn't talk nonsense, and came to the middle of the hall again, lit the fire, heated the cauldron, and tempered it all in one go.
The action is exactly the same as before, that is, before the liquid medicine is fused, the same volume of water is put in.
As soon as the water and the liquid droplets refined from the medicinal materials came into contact, they immediately boiled, turning the slightly dark solution into a milky white color.
Hoo!
Put it in a jade bottle.
Taking out a drop and testing it again, Yang Mo heaved a sigh of relief.
succeeded...
The liquid medicine at this time is no longer toxic, but it is the same as the one refined by Alchemist Xu, which can increase people's strength!
"One drop of water can solve the problem that I have been thinking about for a day, but I can't figure it out... How good is this alchemist Xu's understanding of elixir?"
Yang Mo was full of admiration.
"but…"
"The medicinal liquid is no longer poisonous, but the effect is not much different from that of ordinary [Qi Supplement Spiritual Liquid]..."
After adding water, the refining was successful, but the effect was not much different from the previous liquid medicine. If so...what are you wasting four medicinal plants for?
With a troubled face, he looked over again with sincerity in his eyes, "Xu Alchemy, I understand what you mean, but... the refining is still somewhat unsuccessful, I don't know... can you refine it yourself, so that I can observe and learn?"
"This…"
Before Xu Hong watched the other party refining medicine, he might not have thought much of it. After watching it, he realized that he was not refining medicine, but cooking medicine...
Not ornamental at all!
If you don’t practice, you can still keep it mysterious. If you really want to do it, you will definitely reveal your secrets...
Waved his hand, just about to refuse, he saw Yang Mo flipped his wrist, a wooden box appeared in the palm of his hand, he opened it gently, and a pill rolled away appeared in front of everyone.
The distance is very far, and the strong medicinal fragrance blows towards the face, which makes people move their index fingers and muscles keep beating.
This is not a liquid medicine, but a real pill!
"This [Hua Gang Pill] is not considered precious, but it is still much rarer than the qi-invigorating spiritual liquid. It can help you reach the peak of your physical state and increase the chance of breaking through by 30%..."
Yang Mo looked sincere, and said: "I know this thing is nothing to Alchemist Xu, but as long as you are willing to demonstrate it once, this medicine will be regarded as a reward... I don't need it myself, it is also a good choice to give to juniors! "
"Uh…"
Xu Hong fell silent.
This elixir is not very useful to him, but if his father takes it, he can break through in one fell swoop and become a master of Chenggang Realm!
In this way, the Xu family is truly the giant of Jiyuan City, and no one dares to mess with it anymore.
Clenched fists.
It would be a lie not to be tempted by such a precious thing!
But in case the disguise is seen through because of this, it will be a big loss... We must think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
"Forget it, since you want to learn, let me refine it for you, it's okay!"
Soon, with an idea in his mind, Xu Hong stood up from the chair, with an impenetrable depth in his eyes, and smiled slightly, "But... this kind of low-level medicinal liquid, the furnace does not need to be used well, Pavilion Master Wei, Please find a dilapidated alchemy furnace... Forget it, I happen to have one here, so let's use the simplest method to refine one!"
After finishing speaking, he flipped his wrist, and a furnace tripod in the shape of a shoehorn appeared in front of everyone.
There are neither special formations nor amazing flames on the top, only the bottom is dark, and you can tell at a glance that it is smoked by charcoal fire...
Yang Mo froze.
As a pharmacist, I can recognize it naturally. This is the lowest-level cauldron, the kind that can be bought casually on the market... The most important thing is that it has a large piece of deflated, and it feels full of inferior quality...
This thing can really make medicine?
Being puzzled, the man in black had asked Pavilion Master Wei to fetch charcoal fire, poured in clear water, and threw in the herbs one by one in order.
Not long after, the furnace boiled, and a portion of the refined medicinal liquid was poured out.
Taking out a drop and putting it in the palm of his hand, Yang Mo felt it, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
It is exactly the same as the one sold outside, and its efficacy is twice that of his refining!
"Using the lowest-grade furnace, the lowest-grade charcoal fire, you can turn decay into magic, and refine even more brilliant liquid medicine. This Alchemist Xu..."
Yang Mo's eyes gradually became serious.
"Unfathomable!"
