Chapter 69 Alchemy
Gongsun Lu directly rolled up the rope in his hand and grabbed the Pusqu snake. He picked up one end of the rope and threw it into the bag Gongsun Lu had prepared previously.

He did not stay. He was alone in this tunnel that was suspected to be "drawn" by a cultivator with one finger, so that he, the pseudo-protagonist who had to prepare for a long time to steal a secret book or steal a snake, felt nothing and unsafe. feel.

After quickly returning to Xiangyang City, he did not care about Pusqu Snake anymore, but secretly searched for the county records that had been kept in the government office.There was no way, he just wouldn't feel at ease unless he found out the news about the valley road!

In such a big tunnel, if there are really cultivators fighting here, there is no reason why such a big movement should not be recorded in the local county annals. Gongsun Lu hid in the library in the city, surrounded by cobwebs and dust. I checked secretly for two days.

He really found some clues about the description.And what he found made him relieved.

It turns out that my guess was an error!
According to the records in this county annals, one night in the first year of Kaiping in Houliang, a meteorite fell into the valley south of Xiangyang City. The fire burned for several days, and the valley was also destroyed!
And the reason why this county chronicle records this content.It was because the officials in Jingnan used this celestial phenomenon to falsely claim that the regime at that time was immoral, which led to the celestial phenomenon to come out as a warning!
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the country's ruling power was weak and the world was in chaos. Such a celestial phenomenon was naturally easily exploited by ambitious local powerful people. Not to mention, it was actually done by that speculator!
The careerist named Gao really established a small political power called Nanping in the south of Xiangyang (the county annals are purely fictitious, and any similarities are purely coincidental! Please do not contradict the official history)!
Therefore, the time of this meteorite was recorded by the county officials.

Seeing this, Gongsun Lu breathed a sigh of relief. After basically ruling out the possibility of a cultivator stepping on a flying sword to collect debts in the future, Gongsun Lu took out the Pusqu snake that he had put in his bag before.

Well, quite dead.But there is still a bit of residual warmth!

However, Gongsun Lu did not imitate Yang Guo and directly took out the snake gallbladder, and then swallowed it alive!
He is not an uncivilized savage, and Gongsun Lu does not have such strong tastes!

I saw him first taking out a small knife, which felt like anatomy in biology classes in later generations. He took out the venom, horns, skin, and gallbladder of the Pusqu snake, and then began to test the snake's medicinal properties.

Gongsun Lu studied in the Chongyang Palace for more than two years, so naturally he couldn't just practice martial arts and fish!

Chongyang Palace was the headquarters of the Quanzhen Sect in this era. Although most of the Taoist priests there were disciples of Wang Chongyang, some were disciples of other branches of the Quanzhen Sect, one of which specialized in elixirs and medical skills.

Senior Brother Liu of Gongsun Road, Liu Chuxuan, was once the leader of this branch. Later, he met Wang Chongyang and was fascinated by his Taoist cultivation and martial arts mentality.

So he voluntarily joined Wang Chongyang's command, and also packed up his Taoist branch and brought it into Chongyang Palace.

Senior Brother Liu's martial arts is not particularly high, but he has specialization in the art after all!His attainments in alchemy and medical skills were not even comparable to those of Wang Chongyang, so Gongsun Lu humbly studied with him for a year and learned a lot.
Gongsun Lu's modern thinking and certain modern medical concepts also inspired Liu Chuxuan a lot.Quanzhen disciples often saw Gongsun Lu and Liu Chuxuan sitting together in the middle of the night studying the body structure of mice. The scene was so scary!Many disciples were frightened, and finally Wang Chongyang came forward and asked them not to play dissection at night!
Naturally, Senior Brother Liu also taught Gongsun Lu a lot of medicine and alchemy techniques.

After a series of rigorous tests, Gongsun Lu discovered that the horns and gallbladder of the Pusqu snake contained high medicinal properties, while the snake skin had slightly weaker medicinal properties, and the venom of the Pusqu snake was due to its toxicity. It is so strong that even the use of auxiliary drugs cannot completely eliminate the toxicity.

However, if it is just for some specific cold poisons, you can add some medicinal introduction as a detoxification.

Gongsun Lu looked at the red meat horn. In the established trajectory, Yang Guo did not eat this kind of meat horn. Maybe even the divine eagle did not know that the snake's meat horn could have such medicinal power.

Gongsun Lu thought for a few days and wrote a prescription.I came to the medical center and grabbed various adjuvants to help eliminate the remaining venom of the Pusqu snake, and prepared elixirs for the horns and gallbladder of the snake.

The medicinal properties of the snake gallbladder are slightly stronger, so Gongsun Lu added several mild medicinal compounds to it according to the pharmacology of monarch and minister that Senior Brother Liu taught him, to adjust its toxicity and make it easier to be absorbed by the human body.

The medicinal properties of the meat horns are more mild. Gongsun Lu only added a few drugs that strengthen the root and improve the vitality, and added a little Yufeng pulp to maximize the medicinal power of the material!
Gongsun Lu directly went to a gym in Xiangyang City to borrow the alchemy cauldron.The Song Dynasty advocated Taoism, and Taoists were still very popular among the rich and nobles.

So Gongsun Lu quickly found a famous Taoist temple in the city. After he took out the certificate of his Chongyang Palace disciple, he was immediately regarded as an honored guest by the host of this Taoist temple.

After all, under the prestige of Lao Wang, Zhongnan Mountain Chongyang Palace is now basically regarded as the leader of Taoism.

In addition, this is a world of martial arts.Therefore, at this time, Longhu Mountain was overwhelmed by Chongyang Palace.

After borrowing the alchemy furnace, Gongsun Lu walked twice around the two-meter-high, simple alchemy furnace!
Well, even if Gongsun Lu didn't open the alchemy furnace at the moment, he could smell a strong medicinal smell. This alchemy furnace should have a history of more than 100 years. The strong medicinal smell in the alchemy furnace can generally increase the success rate of elixir training.

After looking at the alchemy furnace, he respectfully said a Taoist etiquette to the Taoist standing nearby wearing a crown and white Taoist uniform, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your help!"

The Taoist also returned a salute.

This person is also an acquaintance to Gongsun Lu.Two years ago, when Wang Chongyang held a ceremony to recruit disciples at Chongyang Palace, he attended the ceremony on behalf of the Lingbao Temple in Xiangyang.

This Taoist was also a very free and easy person. After lending the alchemy furnace to Gongsun Lu, he did not ask Gongsun Lu what elixir he wanted to practice. He left in a very orderly manner and dispersed the nearby disciples.

After seeing that everyone around him had left, Gongsun Lu began to take out various medicinal materials in his hand.The elixir he was going to practice today was the snake flower elixir given to him by Senior Brother Liu. This elixir was used to practice external skills such as "iron cloth shirt, golden bell cover" and similar physical training.

The elixir provided to strengthen the body and strengthen the body.After Yang Guo ate the gallbladder of the Pusqu snake, in addition to greatly increasing his energy, his strength and physical fitness also improved a lot. A divine eagle that ate the snake gallbladder was also extremely powerful, with a pair of arms and swords. Hard to hurt!So Gongsun Lu also plans to start from this aspect.

The main ingredients of this elixir are snake gallbladder from Bamboo Leaf Green and snow lotus, but this time Gongsun Lu replaced it with the gallbladder of Pusqu snake, and also replaced the snow lotus with two points, and other auxiliary drugs. The amount was also increased by half.

First, half a jar of medicinal wine was added to the alchemy furnace, then snake gallbladder and snow lotus were added in order, followed by various auxiliary medicines, controlling the heat and stirring the medicinal spoon.The timing of dispensing the medicine and the intensity of stirring must be particular.Watching the liquor gradually volatilize and become smaller.

Controlling the diameter of the air inlet into the alchemy furnace, the wine slowly turned into a yellow semi-liquid. Gongsun Lu did not stop stirring it with a medicine spoon, and soon a fist-sized pill slowly took shape.

"Woo!" The elixir has been practiced, looking at the elixir whose surface has become smooth, Gongsun Lu didn't lift the lid, at this time, a lot of medicinal properties will be lost.After blocking the vents of the alchemy furnace.

Gongsun Lu sat in front of the alchemy furnace, wiped the sweat from his face slightly, and then waited patiently.

He lowered his head and sighed, hey, when did he become so busy?
Gongsun Lu had planned his retirement life like that, but he had no choice but to hide things in his heart and couldn't stop it!
Well, Gongsun Lu decided that after this matter in Xiangyang is settled, he must take a big vacation to make up for the hard work these days!
 Changed the cover, my wife designed it myself, I’m so happy (ˊωˋ*)
