[Rebirth] Brother, let me go to your bowl

When Minghua mentioned opening a furnace to make alchemy, Ye Yan knew that his homework had only officially begun.What awaits him next is not the leisurely days that he can spend peacefully by reading books and weeding every day.However, even so, Ye Yan was a little excited.

Ming Hua followed his word, and brought Ye Yan into a small square room early the next morning.He put down the scroll in his hand, turned to Ye Yan, and said, "This is the Dan room."

Ye Yan agreed, and raised his eyes to look at the surrounding environment.This small alchemy room also has Minghua's own style, unbelievably simple and elegant, but it has all the necessary equipment.Even the furnace cauldron used for alchemy, there are as many as three.

Minghua waited for him to look away before continuing: "Refining elixir is nothing more than two steps of purification and mixing. But it is not easy to do these two steps well." He glanced at Ye Yan, He suddenly asked with a smile, "Ye Yan, do you know why there is no indication of the weight of each medicinal material in any pill prescription in this world?"

Ye Yan was taken aback, he really didn't pay attention to this before.Now that I think about it, I realize that the few pill prescriptions I have read only stated that certain medicinal materials are needed, such and such medicinal materials, rather than the famous medical prescriptions in the mortal world that cost a few dollars.

With a thought, he asked tentatively: "Because... the fire in the hands of each alchemist is different?"

Ming Hua nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "That's right. The different phases of spiritual plants, and the different heats during purification will eventually affect the phase of the pill. Sometimes even a small difference can lead to the refining process. Fail, even fry the oven."

Ye Yan didn't expect the answer he guessed right off the bat, let alone the danger involved, so he couldn't help but secretly stunned, and asked again: "That is, you have to figure it out by yourself?"

Minghua nodded, thought for a while and said: "Experience is naturally important, but it can't be tried with a blind eye. As long as you are familiar with the properties of herbs, some approximate weight can still be deduced."

The implication is that the more accurate weight, or can only rely on trying.

Ye Yan listened attentively, only to realize that refining alchemy and medicine is far from as simple as he thought.The spirit of learning here is really difficult to achieve without ten years of honing and experience.

With such emotion, he listened more attentively to Minghua's words.The teacher speaks attentively, and the student listens attentively. For a while, there is a scene of joy and harmony between the two of them.After half a day like this, Minghua pursed his lips, and finally confessed: "I have said so much, but it is always shallow on paper. There are some things that you have to try yourself to know."

Ye Yan nodded, his eyes sparkled.

Minghua smiled, led him to a brass furnace, and said, "This is the most common three-legged brass tripod, you can use this to practice your hands first."

"Thank you, Master." Ye Yan smiled, then asked again, "So, what does Master want me to use to practice?"

Ming Hua smiled slightly, took out a handful of herbs and placed them in front of Ye Yan.

"This is a hemostatic grass that is common in the mountains. You can use it to purify and practice your hands." Minghua said with a smile, "Don't worry, everything must be done step by step. Only after you have completed the step of purification can you begin to refine some real pills. medicine."

Ye Yan naturally agreed, grabbed a handful of hemostatic grass, and put it into the brass furnace.

For ordinary people to make alchemy, in addition to using heart fire, of course, they can also choose to use some better-controlled heaven and earth spirit fire or magic fire.But since Ye Yan came here with the intention of tempering his own control, he naturally couldn't avoid it, and directly getting started was refining with heart fire.

The heart fire couldn't be forced out of the body, but since Ye Yan refined the flame on Qingluan, he can do it.Now Ye Yan concentrated his mind, separated a strand of the heart fire entrenched in the dantian, and slowly forced it into the meridian, and waited for him to follow the meridian and force it out of the body from his fingertips.

A ray of flame suddenly appeared at Ye Yan's fingertips, with a faint blue light, radiant, jumping and turning.

Ye Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly sent the flame into the brass furnace.

The cauldron did not know what kind of strange material was used, the flame just submerged in the cauldron, and it ignited blazingly, which surprised Ye Yan.He wiped the sweat from his forehead, then started, throwing a blade of grass into the cauldron.

As soon as the blade of grass fell into the flames, there was a sound like popping beans.Ye Yan's heart skipped a beat, he knew that the flames were too fierce, but before he could adjust the flames, a whole blade of grass was turned into ashes in the flames.

He sighed, even though he knew that the delicate work of refining pills would not allow him to succeed once, but this sudden failure still made him a little bit regretful.

Then, Ye Yan began to try to put the second herb into the furnace.Ming Hua observed for a while, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with him, he left the place satisfied and let Ye Yan practice by himself.

After a few days, Ye Yan finally understood why there are so few successful alchemists in the world.He just practiced for more than three days in order to preserve a kind of grass, and wasted an unknown amount of medicinal materials before he could barely master the heat.When he turned on the furnace for the last time, what awaited him was no longer a pile of ashes, but a delicate medicinal powder that shone with white light.

Minghua walked over, picked up a little powder with his fingertips, and after tasting it, he looked at Ye Yan with admiration.He smiled and said, "Successful."

Ye Yan let out a long sigh of relief, revealing a look of joy.

"But don't get too excited too early." Minghua said with a serious expression, "This can only be regarded as an intermediate product in the process of refining medicine, and it is far from the real medicine..."

Why doesn't Ye Yan know this truth?He also read a few medical books. Basically, the elixir of the celestial family has five different herbs in the simplest form. Not only must each herb be purified, but they must also be mixed in a certain proportion before being refined. Achieving a real elixir.The step of reconciling is much more difficult than pure purification.

"However, these intermediate products can sometimes be directly used as medicine." Minghua smiled, pointed Ye Yan to fill the white medicine powder in a jade bottle, and said, "The medicine powder purified from hemostatic grass can be directly applied externally. It has the effect of removing blood stasis."

Ye Yan nodded again and again, and secretly wrote it down.

Minghua reminded again: "It's just that not every herbal medicine can be effective after purification. Some herbal medicines are poisonous after purification. You need to keep in mind."

Ye Yan's heart moved, and he asked, "Master... which herbs are poisonous after purification?"

A relieved smile appeared on Minghua's face, and he said, "If you are interested, go to my place and get a book on medical skills and go back to study."

Ye Yan was delighted and quickly said yes.Over the past few days, he has really become interested in alchemy, and now his research on it is not limited to simply tempering his heart.He even paid a lot of attention to medical science.

There are countless books in the Minghua Room, and the collection of medical skills is even richer. Some unique medical skills passed down from ancient times can be found here, which really dazzles Ye Yan.In the end, it was Minghua who made the decision, and gave Ye Yan a copy of "Xiangfang Danshu", asking him to take it back and study it carefully.

After Ye Yan put away his medical skills, he put the jade bottle in his arms again, and took a last look at Minghua, thoughtfully.The way Ming Hua looked at him, how could he not know what Ye Yan was thinking?Can't help laughing, said: "You have worked so hard for so long, go and rest for a while."

Ye Yan got the answer, his eyes lit up, he agreed, and rushed out of the bamboo house.

Where can Ye Yan go on Qinghuai Peak?Naturally, I had no choice but to go to Xiao Mingzhe's place.

He still has a guilty conscience and doesn't know what excuse to find.It's just that when Ye Yan was racking his brains, he had already touched the outside of the Sword Hut to the east of Qinghuai Peak.

This time, he finally met Zhou Zixue.
