Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

Zuo Feng's casual guess really hit the mark. The four or five houses around the old man's straw hut were indeed uninhabited, and the reason was closely related to the mysterious Yao Xun. But these things happened before Zuo Feng came to Luan City, so he just felt strange but couldn't figure out the reason anyway.

Zuo Feng didn't want to spend more time thinking about these things. He now focused on refining this Juli San. Facing the medicine furnace in front of him, Zuo Feng fell into contemplation. He had never refined a high-level medicine powder like Juli San, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Zuo Feng thought about the prescription over and over again in his mind. Several problems were discovered when he watched it before, and after thinking about it, the problems not only did not decrease but increased.

First of all, the order of extracting medicinal materials in the prescription of Juli San was written very clearly, which had never appeared in some prescriptions he had come across. Secondly, there were some very special requirements for the treatment of drugs. These were all problems he discovered right after he got the prescription, but Yao Xun's impatient expression at the time also made Zuo Feng keep all the problems in his heart.

When he sat down to think carefully about the prescription, he found an even more bizarre problem, that is, the medicinal properties of several of the herbs were actually conflicting. Medicinal herbs themselves have their own unique properties, which can be divided into cold and hot, warm and cool, and deeper into yin and yang and the five elements.

Generally, alchemists who have mastered some basic knowledge can distinguish between cold and hot, and those who are more advanced can distinguish between warm and hot. Only alchemists with more advanced knowledge can master yin and yang and the five elements. Although Zuo Feng's level of alchemy is still mediocre among the primary ones, he has learned a lot from Zhuang Yu in understanding the medicinal properties, and now he can begin to understand yin and yang.

This is why when he first made medicine last night, Yao Xun looked at him with surprise and classified the herbs according to their medicinal properties.

Zuo Feng thought about the prescription over and over again, but still couldn't figure out the reason. Helplessly, he looked up at Yao Xun again. But Yaoxun was already drinking his own wine, smacking his lips. Seeing that Yaoxun had no intention of explaining to him, Zuo Feng could only helplessly lower his head to study again.

Zuo Feng, who was thinking, suddenly set his eyes on the package of medicinal materials, and then quickly unfolded the package gently. After a while, Zuo Feng's face showed doubt again, because the medicinal materials in the package in front of him were actually more than the medicinal materials recorded in the prescription.

This time, Zuo Feng did not look up at Yaoxun, but began to arrange the mixed medicinal materials according to the medicinal properties he knew. Yaoxun, who was savoring the wine in his mouth, did not look back, but a smile gradually appeared on his face.

After arranging the medicinal materials, Zuo Feng tried to start refining according to the records in the prescription. Adding Yanjing to preheat the medicine furnace, these steps are already elementary, but Zuo Feng still does it meticulously.

When the temperature of the furnace reached a certain level, Zuo Feng began to put medicine into the medicine furnace. Because he had never refined Juli San before, he was very cautious and slow when putting in the medicine.

But soon after the third herb was thrown into the medicine furnace, the medicine liquid in the furnace began to change. The medicine liquid, which was originally peaceful in the red flame, began to become unstable soon after the new herbs were added. Then there was a slight explosion, and drops of medicine liquid were completely scrapped with the explosion.

Zuo Feng looked at the gradually cooling medicine furnace with a confused look on his face, and then looked at the pile of residues at the bottom of the furnace. At this time, some of the medicine liquid was still exploding.

He frowned deeply. Although this was the first time he discovered this situation, it was obviously a situation that would only occur when the medicinal properties repelled each other. His first thought was that the prescription given to him by the old man was fake. But after careful thinking, he felt that it was not likely. These herbs basically have the effect of increasing strength. If they were refined under normal circumstances, they should be Juli San.

Taking a deep breath, Zuo Feng thought to himself, 'It's too early to give up now. Since the herbs are not his, there is no need to think about other things. Just do your best first.'

Thinking of this, Zuo Feng grabbed the medicine furnace and poured out the residue, and then started the preheating process again. This time, Zuo Feng carefully extracted the herbs one by one, and did not leave the extracted liquid medicine in the furnace as before.

Because all the liquid medicines did not exist in the medicine furnace at the same time during the training process, there were no other changes. When Zuo Feng extracted the herbs according to his previous method, the old man's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of ridicule.

Soon Zuo Feng finished extracting all the herbs he needed, and then the fusion step came. But Zuo Feng learned his lesson this time. Every time he fused, he poured a few drops from each extracted liquid medicine, and then fused them in the medicine furnace.

"Bang... Bang..."

Muffled explosions continued to be heard in the medicine furnace, and the medicine liquids failed to fuse again and again. When all the medicine liquids extracted before were used up, Zuo Feng also had the urge to curse.

'This old man is not kidding me, I have been constantly changing the order of fusion, and even separated the medicine liquids with conflicting medicinal properties to fuse, but it still failed. '

Just when Zuo Feng's anger could no longer be suppressed, he suddenly remembered what Zhuang Yu once said, "The properties of medicinal materials represent a rule. This is not only the rule of medicine, but also represents the rules of heaven and earth." A kind of rule. Rules are unchangeable, but rules are ever-changing and elusive. Only by mastering the rules can you become a high-level alchemist. "

Thinking of what Zhuang Yu once said, Zuo Feng also fell into deep thought. He didn't doubt the old man's prescription at first, but now he began to have doubts, and he also remembered some of the extra medicinal ingredients.

At this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and at the same time, all the medicinal materials in the package appeared in his mind, and they were arranged according to the refining order recorded in the prescription. Then those mutually exclusive medicinal materials were left alone in Zuo Feng's mind, and then he began to compare them with those extra medicinal materials.

Zuo Feng sat there blankly like a wood carving and clay sculpture, but Yao Xun seemed to see something. He turned his head slightly and glanced at Zuo Feng with his peripheral vision, nodded meaningfully, and then turned around. Keep drinking.

After an unknown amount of time passed, Zuo Feng suddenly opened his eyes and emptied everything in the medicine pot without any hesitation. Then he put the flame crystal into the preheated medicine furnace and started the refining process. This time Zuo Feng moved much faster than before, but he put the herbs in one by one in an orderly manner.

This time it was much smoother than before. All the extracted liquid remained in the furnace, but there was no instability. The final fusion step was soon entered, and a hint of joy slowly appeared on Zuo Feng's face.

But just as his smile appeared, the merging liquid in the medicine furnace suddenly rippled violently, and the liquids immediately started to burn like flaming crystals. Zuo Feng opened his mouth in shock, but he could not stop the burning of the medicine at all. Soon a huge flame rose up inside the medicine furnace.

Zuo Feng watched helplessly as the fruits of his hard work turned into a ball of flame until the liquid medicine was completely burned out.

It took Zuo Feng a while to come back to his senses, and turned around angrily. He was about to blurt out the curse words in his chest, but found that Yao Xun was standing behind him with a smile but not a smile. He looked like he was not worried about these accidents at all. To be expected.

"Boy, you are so impatient. What? Looking at this posture, you still want to try your skills with me, the old man?"

Seeing Zuo Feng's clenched fists, the old man also said with a cynical look. Zuo Feng finally calmed down and tried his skills with the old man in front of him. He probably had no chance of winning even if he inspired the beast soul to go berserk. Moreover, he didn't see any intention of teasing him in the old man's eyes. On the contrary, there was a trace of kindness in the ridicule on his face.

"Hey, go aside and take a good look."

When the old man saw that Zuo Feng had calmed down, he lightly kicked Zuo Feng with his foot and said slowly. The old man's toes stepped on Zuo Feng's right hip, but there was no pain at all. Instead, his body moved lightly to the side for a few feet.

The old man sat down without any nonsense, and then with a flick of his finger, he rushed into the stove in a flash. Immediately afterwards, the flames in the furnace began to billow. Although the flames looked extremely violent, Zuo Feng felt that the center part of the flames was extremely stable.

The old man casually grabbed the medicinal materials beside him and put them into the medicine furnace. Zuo Feng clearly saw that the medicinal materials that the old man grabbed were the same medicinal materials that he had refined to the last stage. It seemed that the old man had deliberately written the wrong names of some medicines.

Zuo Feng had no time to think about anything else, because he was already shocked by the old man's method of refining medicine. After the old man put the medicinal materials into the medicine furnace, he reached out and patted the furnace wall gently. Those flames seemed to have spirituality, slowly spinning in the medicine furnace.

The medicinal materials are quickly calcined and extracted in the violent flames on the periphery, and as long as the pure medicinal liquid is extracted, it will be immediately sent to a stable position in the center of the flame.

As the surrounding flames continued to burn, the dozens of medicinal herbs were refined, and dozens of drops of pure medicinal liquid were floating and wandering in the center of the medicine furnace. Seeing this scene, Yao Xun smiled slightly, raised the flask and took a sip, then tapped the furnace wall slowly.

Zuo Feng discovered that he had actually sent a trace of spiritual power into the medicine furnace, and instantly wrapped dozens of drops of medicine in it, isolating it from the flames outside.
