Chapter 86 Alchemy

Tangning smiled and said, "The brothers in the herbal department have a close relationship with the subordinates. If you need any kind of elixir, you can let me know. As long as it is planted in the sect, you can use it like the palm of your hand."

Hearing this, Gao Cailiang's eyes lit up, and he quickly said: "I don't know if Roland flowers and water grasses are available? The best growth year is five years or more, and now all the shops sell some second-hand goods, usually three Some of them are even less than two years old, so of course it is possible to change to a higher level alchemist, but for someone like me who is not particularly skilled, it is too difficult to refine the pill."

Roland flowers and water grass are the main medicines of Wanling Pill, and Wanling Pill is a medicinal pill used by cultivators in the late stage of Qi refining.

"This matter is very easy, but I have to go to the sect in person, which is quite time-consuming."

Gao Cailiang hurriedly said: "It's okay, I don't know when Taoist friend Tang will leave, or should I go with Taoist friend?"

"Old fifth." Gao Yingyuan saw that the more he said, the more outrageous he was, and he hurried to stop him if he ever made such a request.He smiled apologetically at Tangning, "My younger brother is always like this. As long as it is beneficial to his alchemy, he will lose his sense of proportion and ignore the rest."

Gao Cailiang also realized that he was Meng Lang: "Just now, I was in a hurry and made a slip of the tongue. I hope fellow Taoists will forgive me. To be honest, fellow Taoists, this matter has been bothering me for a long time. Over the years, I have tried countless times to refine the pills, all of which have ended in failure. At the critical moment, the spirit medicine can't bear the warmth of the spirit fire in the body and cannot be perfectly integrated."

"If I obtain the elixir that is older, its resistance to heat and heat will be better, and it will be easier to integrate. I think it should be possible. As long as I succeed once, I will be able to master the various balances between the medicinal properties. With repeated trials, I will finally be able to master this. The mystery of pill refining."

Tangning could understand him. Many things were like this. She obviously felt that she had done well in every aspect, but in the end she failed.

"Fellow Daoist, please be patient. I will give you this elixir within half a year," Tangning said. The reason why he was so confident was naturally because of the green aura in his body. When he came out of the sect, he brought the herbal medicine with him All the elixir seeds he planted, let alone five years old elixir, even fifty years old elixir would not be difficult for him.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. I know that Roland flowers and water grasses that have been in the past five years are quite rare, and I will not lose Daoist friend in terms of price."

"I don't know if you have some free time now, and if you want to go to the Taoist friend's alchemy room to take a look?"

"Master Tang is going to the alchemy room to learn the way of medicine pills, so Gao will not accompany him. Fifth, Master Tang is sincerely asking for advice. You have to treat your guests well." Gao Yingyuan said.

Gao Cailiang didn't say much, just nodded.

The two went out of the inner hall and drove away with the magic weapon.

.....................

Chiyan Mountain is located at the junction of Libo County and Shuiyi County. Gao Cailiang's alchemy room was built on this mountain.

When Tangning Fang stepped on this mountain, she felt a wave of heat rushing towards her.

"There is a huge lava at the bottom of this mountain, and the grass and trees can't stand such high temperature, so there is no grass on the whole mountain." Gao Cailiang explained

The alchemy room is built on the top of the mountain, and the temperature is lower than that at the bottom of the mountain. There is only a ten-year-old boy guarding the entire room.Seeing the two boys hurriedly bowed and called them Immortal Masters.

Tangning glanced at the boy and saw the spirit energy surging around him. He was actually a person with spiritual roots, but for some reason, Gao Cailiang was dragged into this room to do such chores.

The surrounding of the alchemy room is made of azure stone, and the black stone is covered under the feet. Both of these materials have the effect of dissipating heat and cooling, so the temperature in the room is just right.

Gao Cailiang pushed open the door of the alchemy room, and the first thing that caught his eye was a three-footed bronze cauldron three feet high.

The whole body of the cauldron is dark red and looks simple and unpretentious. There are three toad-like mouths under the cauldron for ventilation.

There are three wooden boxes at the mouth.

There is a through hole on the left and right sides of the tripod for throwing medicinal materials and controlling spiritual fire.

There is a transparent wafer in the middle part of the front of the bronze cauldron, which can clearly observe the situation in the cauldron.

On the ground on the left side of the Ding is a hand crank with many holes.

On the right side are three large chests and a horizontal board, and below the tripod is a huge pit that leads straight to the ground.

Gao Cailiang stepped forward and stroked the bronze cauldron and introduced: "This famous three-legged and two-mouthed bronze cauldron has three legs under the cauldron and two on the cauldron. It belongs to the first-order top-level magic weapon, and its toughness is enough to withstand the impact of medicinal materials at the level of Foundation Establishment Pill. The larger through hole on the left is for throwing elixir, the smaller through hole on the right is for alchemists to control the spirit fire, and the three toad mouths below are for heat dissipation and ventilation.”

"This hand crank also evokes a firearm, which can be shaken to generate flames. In addition to the performance of the pill cauldron, the efficacy of the elixir, and the skill of the alchemist, the refining of the medicinal pill is also very important. "

"That is the flame of alchemy. The reason why I chose this place as the alchemy room is because there is a live molten slurry under this mountain. My alchemy room leads directly to the live molten slurry at the bottom of the mountain, and can extract the live molten molten flame for refining medicine."

Speaking of this, his face was full of pride: "It's not Gao's boasting, my alchemy room's ration is the best in Jingbei. Still Lingyan is one of the best. It's just that the alchemist's skills are a bit poor."

"What's so good about this living molten flame? I see that those who make bigu pills use ordinary flames," Tangning asked.

"The temperature of the live molten molten flame is higher, the solubility is stronger, and the fusion time of the elixir will be shorter. The ordinary flame can only refine the bigu pill. If it is used to refine the condensed gas pill, even a master-level alchemist will have difficulty. If you succeed, the flame you choose when refining the pill is an important factor that directly affects the success rate of the pill."

"How do I generate a flame with a fire starter?"

"It's simple, you see, push this hole up, and the device leading to the lava at the bottom of the mountain will start, and then just shake the handle clockwise to generate flame." Gao Cailiang said, shaking his hand Bundle.

Not long after, a slightly crimson flame appeared in the pit below the cauldron. Continuing to shake the handle, the flame became bigger and bigger.

"When the flame burns to this point, press the hole and the flame will continue to be supplied. According to the generation state of the medicine pill, the hole can control the increase or decrease of the flame, and the size of it depends on the accumulation of experience."

"Now I teach you the refining method of Qi Yang Dan, you can remember the steps."

Gao Cailiang opened the cabinet on the right, and it was filled with black wooden boxes of different sizes. The names of various medicinal materials were written on the outside of the wooden box. He grabbed seven or eight medicinal materials from them and placed them on the horizontal board. The formula of medicinal herbs is different for each medicinal herb. Take the medicinal material formula of Yangqi Dan as an example, the main medicine is Jinyuhua and Qinglucao, and there are five auxiliary medicines, namely angelica, lotus seed, ginseng, Huangjing, Licorice."

"Once you know the formula, the next step is to prepare the medicine. Five coins of angelica, three coins of ginseng, three coins of Huangjing, and two coins of licorice. Grind them into powder, and then add ten drops of lotus seed juice to make a medicinal pill shape. This is the initial appearance of medicinal pills, we call them pills."

Gao Cailiang said and did it, ground the angelica, ginseng, Huangjing, and licorice into powder, took a wooden ruler and cut out a small part of each powder, mixed together and kneaded it into a ball.Holding the lotus seeds in the right hand and pinching, the lotus seed juice drips on the dough, and the dough is placed on the horizontal board after ten drops.

At this time, the round ball is still cast from various medicinal powders, and various colors intersect. Although it has the shape of an elixir, the internal structure is a loose ball.

Gao Cailiang sprinkled the yellow powder evenly on it, and the dough that was kneaded with both hands, the original loose dough quickly solidified, and the color also changed, becoming a black medicine pill.

"This pill must be very round, and there should be no potholes, otherwise the pill will be affected by uneven force when it is condensed, and the internal medicine will be flooded, destroying the pill."

"In addition, the ration of Chinese medicinal materials in medicinal herbs must be very accurate. The so-called difference is a thousand miles away. If the ration of medicinal materials is wrong, it will not be condensed in any way. Now, you will naturally know how much a piece of money weighs, making pill pills is the first step, and it is the basic skill of pill making.

Gao Cailiang handed the pill to him, Tangning stroked the pill back and forth, feeling very round and smooth like jade.

"After the pills are made, put them into the through hole on the left. Remember, you must start a fire first, let the flames warm the pills before putting them in the pills. At this time, you must observe carefully and see the pills from the wafer. Change, because the pill is made of angelica, ginseng, Huangjing, licorice, and lotus seeds, its medicinal properties cannot withstand the warm roasting of the live molten slurry. However, because of the addition of fragrant yellow powder as a coagulant, the inside of the pill will dissolve first. , disintegrating from the inside out.”

Tangning looked inside the wafer and saw that the medicinal pill was disintegrating from the inside out. There were many tiny pinholes on the outside of the pill, and white powder kept wafting out from the pinholes. This white powder was medicinal powder, it must be The inside first disintegrates, and the clumps disintegrate into white powder.

"It was at this time, when the pills were not scattered, put the main medicines Jinyuhua and Qinglucao, [-] coins for Jinyuhua and [-] coins for Qinglucao."

Gao Cailiang used a wooden ruler to cut the powder of Jinyuhua and Qinglucao, and kneaded it into a ball through the hole on the left: "This powder only needs to be kneaded and pushed, it does not need to be round and smooth, because it does not have the effect of a coagulant, so it is very It is loose and dissolves quickly when exposed to the high temperature of the flame."

"This time is to test the skills of the alchemist. The most important step in condensing the pill is to control the fire."
