Chapter 24: Refining Medicine
After taking a shower, Xiao Chen changed his clothes, lay on the bed and began to read the introduction to the alchemist syllabus sent by the elder. It would be surprising if anyone saw this.
There is no one of the most noble professions on the Tianwu Continent of alchemists, whether it is a good medicine for healing, a magical medicine for changing one's physique, or a medicine for speeding up the practice.
It is very attractive to warriors. The rarity of the alchemist, coupled with the huge demand, naturally made this profession far more noble than other professions.
Xiao Chen looked at it page by page. This primer was not very thick, with dozens of thin pages. Xiao Chen read every word at a speed, and it didn't take long to read it.
The introduction outline is the introduction outline. There is basically no substantive content. It is just a general introduction to the alchemist. However, Xiao Chen still has some gains and has a rough understanding of the world's alchemist.
The pharmacists on the Tianwu Continent are divided into seven ranks, from one to seven, from low to high, and are divided into seven grades.
To become a pharmacist, there are three conditions. The first is to have a martial spirit with a fire attribute, or a practice method with a fire attribute, which can condense real fire. This is the most basic condition for a pharmacist.
The second is the understanding of medicinal materials. This condition requires extremely solid basic skills, and a thorough understanding of each medicinal herb and its functions and ingredients. This condition cannot be tricked, and can only be achieved by a lot of reading.
The third condition is spiritual perception. This is the most ethereal and elusive condition. Spiritual perception is similar to the perception of a martial artist, but not exactly the same.
Some people may travel a long way on the road of warriors, but they cannot awaken their spiritual sense. Maybe some people have awakened their spiritual sense, and their spiritual sense is extremely powerful, but they have not achieved much on the road of warriors.
The so-called spiritual sense refers to the pharmacist's intuition, feel and spiritual connection to the medicinal materials, and the last point is the most important. The farther you can go.
Xiao Chen compares these three points with himself slowly. He owns the Purple Thunder True Fire. The first condition is naturally passed, and the second condition is the knowledge of medicinal herbs. The alchemy chapter on the Compendium of Cultivation has an extremely high record of medicinal herbs. detailed.
He had read it for three years, and he had memorized it by heart, and he had discovered a long time ago that there was no discrepancy between the medicinal materials in this world and those recorded in the Compendium of Cultivation.
This third condition is a bit weird. The alchemy chapter in the Cultivation Daquan has no records about spiritual perception, but he is not very worried. After all, the alchemy recorded in the Cultivation Daquan is somewhat different from the world. Even if he has no spiritual sense or enough spiritual sense, he can't become a pharmacist in this world, but according to the methods in the Daquan of Cultivation, he still has the confidence to refine medicine pills.
Moreover, the pills recorded in the Compendium of Cultivation are more magical and profound than the pills in this world. For example, the Bigu Pill that he will refine later can be consumed without food and water for a month. In this The world has never heard of it.
...
When it was getting dark, Bao'er finally returned to Xiao Chen's yard with a large bag of medicinal herbs, looking at Bao'er covered in sweat, Xiao Chen couldn't bear it, and the appearance of the little girl was only fourteen or five. Years old, this is the age of a flower in his original world, still in junior high school.
He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you. Actually, I'm not in a hurry. You don't have to hurry."
Bao'er's sweaty little hands were stunned when she heard these words, I heard right, the famous Xiao family's playboy actually apologized to one of his little maids.
When Xiao Chen was still a waste, his reputation was very bad. After defeating Xiao Jian, although everyone knew that he was no longer a waste, the private evaluation of him still did not improve. They say that he is a small man,
It has become more unbearable than before, and there are more rumors that he has taught all those who humiliated him in the past. Such rumors are not less heard by Bo'er among the servants.
If Xiao Chen knew about these things, he would definitely be very depressed. Looking at Bao'er's dazed appearance, Xiao Chen was a little worried and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with you, you're not feeling well?"
Bao'er came back to her senses, a little unaccustomed to Xiao Chen's tone, her face was slightly red, and she whispered, "Bao'er is fine, thank you young master for your concern."
Xiao Chen calmed down and said: "You go back first, there is nothing to help you for the time being."
When Bao'er heard this, she looked at Xiao Chen in surprise, and said anxiously, "Young master, are you trying to drive me away? The first elder said, I am already your exclusive maid, and I will live here from now on. If Bao'er goes out, the first elder will definitely think that Bao'er is not serving well and will punish me."
In such a situation, Xiao Chen did not expect that these servants and maids are children of orphans and poor families, all of whom have signed the deed of prostitution. If they make a mistake, they will not be held responsible even if they are beaten to death. Although the Xiao family is not so strict house rules, but the necessary punitive measures are still in place.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He had never encountered such a situation before, and he didn't know what to do for a while. Xiao Chen's yard is more than enough for one person to live in, but he has too many secrets, and it is really uncomfortable to have a stranger by his side.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen didn't think of a solution to both, looking at the poor Bao'er, his heart softened, "You can stay here now, there is a wing in the east, you will stay there tonight. ."
Bao'er smiled happily: "Bao'er thanks the second young master, I will go to prepare a late-night snack for the second young master."
Some helplessly looked at Bao'er's leaving back, shook his head, Xiao Chen set his eyes on the medicinal herbs she brought, and checked them one by one.
Twenty saffron, fifty star anise, twenty tiger palm, twenty spearmint...
One by one, the herbs Xiao Chen asked for were not bad. This little girl's ability to do things is still very good. Xiao Chen smiled in his heart, picked up a tiger palm grass and observed it carefully.
The top of the one-foot-long rhizome has four leaves with purple and green in it. Looking at this 10-year-old tiger palm grass, Xiao Chen thought with some doubts in his heart, what is the so-called spiritual sense, and how can it be related to Does it create a spiritual connection?
Holding the herb gently in his hand, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and lowered his mind. His mind slowly moved to his right hand along with his vitality. The vitality left his body and wrapped the herb softly, but his mind remained in the body. It was blocked by the flesh on the palm and could not break out.
After several attempts, Xiao Chen's mind couldn't establish any connection with the tiger palm grass in his hand. There was a difference between mind and spirit. Just when Xiao Chen was about to give up, he suddenly caught a strange green spiritual energy net on the surface of his palm.
A small energy line on the green energy net entered the body through vitality, and quickly linked with the mind, a green world suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Chen's mind.
In the green space, various intricate lines are intertwined like a labyrinth. One after another spiritual energy flows around the green space, which is closely connected with Xiao Chen's mind. For a moment, Xiao Chen seems to feel this tiger. The breath of the palm grass and the beating of the pulse are a very strange feeling.
Xiao Chen was extremely surprised in his heart. This is the so-called spiritual sense. With such a close spiritual connection, the herb is like an organ in his body. In this state, the understanding and control of medicinal materials will definitely be improved. When refining medicinal herbs, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort. It is no wonder that to be a good pharmacist, you must have spiritual sense.
Withdrawing his mind, a light green energy returned from the palm to the meridians in the body, flowing through the large and small meridians on the arm, and finally directly into Xiao Chen's mind. After the light green energy rotated a few times, it formed a green dot and Xiao Chen Chen's mind fused together.
He was a little confused about what the green dot in his mind was, but this was not the time to think about it. With his rough understanding of the world's alchemists, he might not be able to understand it for a while.
Putting aside the doubts in his heart, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and looked at the tiger palm grass in his hand again. This time he had a more thorough understanding of the tiger palm grass. Its roots also have quite a lot of medicinal properties, not only the leaves that are mentioned in the book. Only useful, with this level of understanding, he has greater confidence in the next refining medicine pill.
Taking out the Qinglong medicine cauldron, Xiao Chen called out Zilei Zhenhuo, and began his first medicine refining, refining Bigu Pill.
In the Compendium of Cultivation, Bigu Pill is an extremely low-level pill in the cultivation world. Only some cultivators who have not reached the realm of Bigu need to take it. It is perfect for getting started.
Throwing the tiger palm grass into the purple thunder fire, Xiao Chen carefully calcined it, controlling the strength of the purple thunder fire, daring not to be careless.
The four green leaves quickly melted into four drops of clear green liquid. The green liquid kept rolling in the purple fire. Xiao Chen took a prepared porcelain bottle and flicked the four drops of green liquid into it. went in.
Then focus on the roots that have not melted. If there is no spiritual sense, Xiao Chen will definitely discard the roots. After knowing that the roots still have medicinal properties, Xiao Chen will naturally not waste them.
The roots are a little harder than the leaves, and the temperature of the flame should also rise a little bit. Xiao Chen slowly increased the control of Zilei True Fire. This kind of subtle control over the flame looks simple, but it is actually very disturbing, and it is an extreme test of the control of the refining medicine on the flame.
If the strength is small, the liquid medicine will not be calcined. If the strength is high, the liquid medicine will evaporate. Only when it reaches that point can the liquid medicine be successfully removed. Fortunately, there are detailed introductions to these in the Cultivation Daquan, so be careful. Not difficult to do.
After taking out five drops of green medicinal liquid from the roots, there was a little more residue on the table. Xiao Chen took out five more sagebrushes for exercise. After that, he was not as lucky as the first time, even if he knew When should the flames be used and how much power should be used, Xiao Chen still damaged two tiger palm grasses.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen had already anticipated this situation, and asked Baoer to buy twice as many medicinal materials. A total of fifty drops of medicinal liquid were calcined in the tiger palm grass, and Xiao Chen stopped.
