NOVEL NEXT Chapter 74 Panacea
"How did you think of it? Why did you want to use pressure to refine the essence of the medicine at once?" Fatty Chen asked impatiently, with an abnormal blush on his face.
Lu Shi subconsciously took a step back, not because he was afraid of what Fatty Chen would do to him, but because Fatty Chen's behavior made Lu Shi feel a little pressured inexplicably.
"Senior Chen, calm down."
Fatty Chen, however, waved his hands repeatedly, which made him even more excited.
"How do I calm down? Do you know how long the step of tempering the medicinal properties has kept me trapped? Ten years! A whole ten years! If I had known that the pressure was needed to temper the medicinal properties, I would have been able to refine high-quality elixirs ten years ago. , why have you wasted so much? Please tell me quickly."
Lu Shi opened his mouth, knowing that Fatty Chen was uncontrollably excited at this time. Although it was difficult to understand, he understood, so he explained for him.
"At first, I wanted to learn from you, Senior Chen, and use temperature to slowly refine the essence of medicinal properties. However, because of my own true energy, I couldn't do it as easily as you, Senior. So I thought, if I could use less real energy, Yuan, would it be easier to force out all the medicinal properties at once?"
Fatty Chen nodded hurriedly and asked, "What else is there? Tell me quickly."
Lu Shi did not hide anything and continued: "I was thinking at that time, since the temperature can affect the tempering of the medicinal properties, why not increase the flame pressure? If the temperature cannot go up, just use pressure to stimulate it. I didn't expect that it would be done in one go. It worked."
Fatty Chen looked happy and laughed.
"Yes, yes, that's it, the temperature is not enough, the temperature is not enough, no! The temperature cannot be too high. This step requires external force to press the medicine, and then supplemented by fire temperature, the essence of the medicine can be forced out in one go. Such a result, On the contrary, it is better than slow tempering, as the medicinal properties can be retained more without any damage."
As Fatty Chen spoke, he could no longer control his excitement and slapped Lu Shi on the shoulder. He wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
"Just wait, I'll give it a try first."
With that said, Fatty Chen took out the seven-flavor medicine and threw it into the furnace.
"Senior, you forgot to check your medicine."
Lu Shi reminded him loudly.
"Oh yes, yes."
Fatty Chen came to his senses and after taking a few deep breaths, he managed to control his emotions and began to check carefully.
After the inspection was completed, Fatty Chen was about to put the medicine into the furnace, but suddenly he thought of something, glanced at Lu Shi, and then made a hand seal, and the flames rose in the furnace.
Looking at the flames in the furnace, they looked exactly the same as when Lu Shi made alchemy at the beginning. The same flame jumped about three feet out of the alchemy furnace.
After doing this, Fatty Chen took a deep breath, then his expression became solemn, and at the same time he put the medicine in his hand into the furnace.
Fatty Chen is obviously experienced in refining this elixir, but now he acts like a novice, and every step is deliberately imitating what Lu Shi did just now, which seems a bit weird.
But Fatty Chen acted very solemnly, so Lu Shi was also a little nervous.
The medicine was put into the alchemy furnace and was quickly ignited by the flames. Under normal circumstances, it would definitely be burned to ashes, but in the hands of the monks, the temperature of the flames only tempered it into medicinal juice.
Then Fatty Chen took a deep breath again, his expression changed, and the magic formula in his hand also changed.
The next moment, the flame rising from the alchemy furnace suddenly shrank, and the pressure of the flame rolling inward acted on the medicines. Coupled with the temperature of the flame that increased at this moment, the medicines were tempered from the inside out, and the impurities were removed. was removed, leaving only the concoction containing the essence.
"It really works!"
Fatty Chen couldn't help but feel happy, and then he controlled the flame concoction to divide it into two. The concoction of seven kinds of medicine was divided into fourteen parts. He controlled the flame to wrap these concoctions, and then started. It gradually merges, but always maintains the number of fourteen portions of concoction.
After all the concoctions had been integrated for one round, and it was confirmed that they had been integrated into other concoctions, Fatty Chen controlled all the concoctions to merge into one, and finally merged into one.
The whole process did not last long, but the cup of tea was completed. After this step, the concoction controlled by Fatty Chen began to differentiate again, and smaller balls of concoction were spit out one by one. Over there It is the original form of the elixir.
This time, Fatty Chen did not choose eight parts, but divided the concoction equally into nine parts until the final concoction hardened and the elixir took shape.
"It's done!"
Fatty Chen had a smile on his face, and without waiting for the elixir to cool down, he waved his hand and took the nine health elixirs into his hand.
First he smelled the medicine, then he crushed it and swallowed it. Fatty Chen thought carefully for a moment before opening his eyes.
"Senior Chen, what have you gained?" Lu Shi asked.
"Hahaha!"
But Fatty Chen laughed heartily and couldn't help but stepped forward and patted Lu Shi's shoulder again.
"Not only is it a harvest, I have an epiphany today, and I will be able to refine a high-quality elixir from now on. It's thanks to you that I'm here, otherwise I would have missed this opportunity today."
Lu Shi smiled when he heard this and said, "I just hit it by mistake and didn't really help Senior Chen."
"Your understanding is really an eye-opener for me. Now that it looks like this, you say that you have a good understanding. There is nothing wrong with this."
As he spoke, Fatty Chen took out six jade slips from his storage bag, handed them to Lu Shi and said at the same time: "There are six prescriptions in this, five of which are ungraded prescriptions. A high-grade elixir, called Spirit-Building Pill, is an elixir that can efficiently restore one's own true energy. It is the best even among first-level elixirs."
As he said that, Fatty Chen sighed again, shook his head slightly and said: "I originally planned to teach you the five methods of refining unqualified elixirs, plus some of my personal experience in elixir refining. But if that's all, I'm sorry. What I learned from you. Although I, Fatty Chen, am greedy for money, I still need a little face, so I think this elixir can be used as a thank you gift."
"This is a bit expensive."
Lu Shi was not being polite when he said this. In fact, Lu Shi also understood the value of this kind of spiritual elixir. If he sold it, he might not be able to get hundreds of spiritual stones.
"Haha, this elixir is actually not that good. It was sold at the elixir house before, but it only cost two hundred spiritual stones. You have to know that the reason why elixirs are expensive is because of the raw materials. The medicine is hard to find, which is the real reason why the price of elixirs cannot come down. As for the elixir prescriptions, there are quite a lot of them circulated in the practice world."
"I see, then I will accept it shamelessly."
Lu Shi nodded, these things were naturally what he needed now.
Then they saw Fatty Chen taking out another item from the storage bag, but it was a booklet. It looked a bit old, and even the cover and pages had rough edges.
"Here are a lot of insights I have written. They are not very clever, but I think they should be helpful to you. In addition, from now on, you can come to me every day, and I will teach you what I know. The alchemy skills you need to learn last for half a month, how much you can learn depends on your own understanding."
Lu Shi's face was overjoyed and he solemnly thanked him.
"Of course, the spiritual stones agreed upon before are indispensable, but I only charge you a thousand. My thank you gift has been given, so we have to settle this account clearly." Fatty Chen said.
Lu Shi's mouth twitched, but he agreed without any hesitation.
For him, it was enough to learn the alchemy skills. Even if the skills mastered by Fatty Chen were not very powerful, they opened the door to alchemy for Lu Shi. Giving the spirit stone was nothing. .
Seeing Lu Shi agreeing, Fatty Chen immediately smiled.
"Then we agreed, you can give me a thousand spiritual stones within three years."
Lu Shi said directly: "It doesn't take three years, just wait, one year will be enough."
"So confident?"
Lu Shiyi smiled: "This is natural. I am very confident in my own understanding."
