Most of the prescriptions in the "Jade Girl's Internal Classic" need to be refined into elixirs through an alchemy furnace. The previous Shennong's Liquid was slightly different because it had very low temperature requirements and did not have very special requirements for the environment.
But if you want to turn Shennong liquid into Shennong elixir, the difficulty suddenly rises. It requires high temperatures of thousands of degrees, and it also requires a large amount of trace elements, and these elements can only be provided by clay.
Simply heating to a high temperature of thousands of degrees can be easily done by many modern heating tools, but ancient elixirs default to clay and pottery as the furnace. In addition to their high temperature resistance, they also need to be released at different temperatures. of various trace elements.
The temperature has not yet risen, but the chamber has exploded, indicating that a structural error must have been made.
"Xiao Wu, didn't you say that your grandfather had an alchemy furnace? Think about it carefully, what kind of structure is it?" Peng Zhan hoped that exploding the chamber would awaken Ye Xiaowu's passive memory of the alchemy furnace.
"Grandpa's alchemy furnace is very small, the kind that can be held in the hand. He only refines a few pills at a time. From the outside, it looks about the same!" Ye Xiaowu looked at the fake elixir that exploded into several pieces. Lu, holding his chin, said with some embarrassment.
Who would think about the structure of an alchemy furnace when they have nothing to do, and with Ye Xiaowu's restless character, it is impossible to become an alchemist. It is reasonable for her grandfather not to teach her this knowledge.
When ordinary people treat diseases, they often boil traditional Chinese medicine and boil out the concoction from the medicinal materials. However, there are essential differences between potions and elixirs. elixirs are not only the concentration of the potion's power, but also have a wider range of effects. A pill of elixir is often worth several pots of potion.
Pills and pills in Western medicine are two completely different concepts. Pills in Western medicine are just an aggregation of drug powder, while pills are more like the nirvana of potions under the same prescription.
Although the composition of medicinal materials is roughly the same, the efficacy is very different. This is the greatness of an alchemist. Otherwise, there is no difference between an alchemist and an aunt who can brew medicine.
The most brilliant thing about the elixir is that it can be perfectly integrated with the environment. Whether it is refining or taking it, its efficacy is closely related to the environment and climate.
In fact, the difference between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine can be well reflected in food.
Western medicine is like a hungry man. As long as it is edible, he mixes it all together and then devours it. The taste is not important, as long as he is full.
Chinese medicine, on the other hand, is like an elegant scholar. Not only does it require good color, aroma, and flavor, but it also carefully selects the ingredients. If the knife is not smooth, it will not be eaten, and if the color is not correct, it will not be eaten.
Obviously he already had a good prescription but couldn't refine it, so Peng Zhan was naturally very anxious. Of course, if he only wanted to turn these prescriptions into potions, the effect could kill the popular similar medicines on the market, but this was not what Peng Zhan wanted. result.
Peng Zhan pursues his own perfection, not crushing his bad peers. If his goal is the latter, he doesn't have to do anything.
Just like most pharmacies, all the medicinal ingredients are put together according to the prescription, packed into a package, and sold to patients for them to brew on their own.
But for Peng Zhan, doing so would be a waste of resources and would cause a huge waste of medicinal materials.
And medicinal materials, especially those precious Chinese medicinal materials, often take decades, hundreds or even thousands of years to form, and they simply cannot withstand such waste.
Although not many medicinal materials were used in this test, Peng Zhan still felt very sorry to see them turn into ashes as the furnace exploded.
The three of them were like children who knocked over the pot when the adults were not at home. They squatted on the ground and stared at the dilapidated furnace in a daze.
"Xiao Wu, can you take me to see your grandpa?" After a long while, Peng Zhan suddenly said this.
From Ye Xiaowu's words, he felt that his grandfather was an omnipotent master. If he could get his guidance, he would definitely be enlightened and enlightened, and he would benefit a lot.
