"The most important thing is to eliminate the negative effects of the medicine, so that the medicine can be used once a day, or even multiple times a day..."
"...Then...the improvement and improvement of the medicinal properties..."
It was late at night, and the candlelight in the room was still flickering. Chu Mu concentrated on studying the prescription in his mind.
After several months of study and a huge investment in "Spiritual Glory Points", Chu Mu had abundant theoretical knowledge.
Supported by abundant theoretical knowledge, he has many ideas.
A prescription, whether it is to cure diseases and save people, or to assist in cultivation, is like running a country and using troops, it has a basically fixed plan.
The so-called monarch, minister, assistant, and envoy are the basic components of a prescription.
The king is also called the lord, and the minister is also called the auxiliary. Therefore, they are also called the lord and the auxiliary envoys.
That is, main drug, auxiliary drug, adjuvant drug, and primary drug!
When deciding on a prescription, the most important thing is to decide on the main medicine.
The so-called main medicine, as its name suggests, is a medicinal material that plays a main role in treating diseases and saving people, or assisting in spiritual practice.
The auxiliary drug also has a literal meaning, that is, it assists the main drug and makes up for the deficiencies of the main drug.
Adjuvant drugs are firstly used to assist the main drug and auxiliary drugs in strengthening their medicinal properties; secondly, they are used to eliminate or slow down the toxicity or potency of the main drug and auxiliary drugs; thirdly, they are used as needed to have properties opposite to those of the main drug and auxiliary drugs but can Drugs that complement each other.
The main function of the medicine is to coordinate the main, auxiliary, and auxiliary effects of the various medicines, so that their medicinal properties form a synergistic force, and the final medicinal properties of the prescription are more perfect.
What Chu Mu has to do now is to prescribe the right medicine!
There is no doubt that this disease is simply to assist Qi and blood cultivation!
What is the key to Qi and Blood cultivation?
It’s essence!
Where does the essence come from, whole grains, meat and vegetables, warming and tonic medicinal materials...
It is easy to choose the main medicine, because the "symptom" of essence and Qi almost locks the scope of the main medicine.
It was nothing more than nourishing medicinal materials, and since he couldn't get any "miraculous medicine" that exceeded the growth period, he obviously had to choose ordinary nourishing medicinal materials as the main medicine.
As for the several original prescriptions on the Body Strengthening Technique, although the prescriptions are common, the main medicines in almost a limited range are obviously correct.
What Chu Mu has to do is to make choices in the three directions of assisting, assisting, and envoys, conduct experiments, and select and improve a closer to perfect combination.
"The original three auxiliary drugs and two auxiliary drugs were removed and changed to Zhengyangcao and Qingningshen..."
About a quarter of an hour later, the centimeter scale was put down. Chu Mu held a palm-sized medicine bag in his hand, frowning slightly, walked to the stove aside, unwrapped the medicine bag, and poured all the medicinal materials into the medicine jar.
A spoonful of water and bring to a simmer.
Chu Mu sat cross-legged in front of the medicine stove and carefully controlled the heat in the stove. According to medical books, thick-flavored and nourishing medicines should be fried slowly over low heat to maximize their efficacy.
And if there are highly toxic drugs in the prescription, they also need to be decoctioned slowly to reduce or eliminate the toxicity.
And among the prescriptions improved by Chu Mu, there is a highly poisonous medicine!
Using highly poisonous substances to supplement the medicinal properties is not just a matter of using medicine. Practicing medicine to save people, especially in emergencies, often requires the combination of the right and the wrong.
And this strange thing is often poison, but when poison is used well, its effect is often much stronger than using real medicine.
"Fry on slow fire for a moment, turn to strong fire and cook quickly for half a quarter of an hour..."
Chu Mu stirred the firewood in the stove and glanced at the hourglass timer on the side from time to time. There was no standard answer for this cooking time.
Strictly speaking, the brewing method and time for each prescription, whether it is for medical treatment or the current prescription to assist spiritual practice, are different and need to be determined according to the medicinal materials in the prescription.
However, unless there are necessary factors, such as poison or emergency, the cooking temperature will generally not be so precise.
After all, to ordinary people, whether the medicinal properties are used perfectly or not does not have much impact.
"The temperature control of the fire is also too vague..."
"if……"
Looking at the flickering flames in the furnace, Chu Mu couldn't help but think about the legendary world of immortality. If he entered the immortal path, would he be able to achieve such control?
Is the legendary alchemy a next-level medicine that knows people and knows people?
Thinking about it, he unconsciously moved the stick in his hand to control the heat.
"call……"
A quarter of an hour later, I held the fire blower in my hand. With the blowing of the big mouth, the air flow followed the fire blower straight into the stove. The originally small flame spread under the blow of the air flow.
The flames grew stronger, and the aroma of the medicine in the room became stronger. The steaming heat lingered in front of Chu Mu. At this moment, he seemed to be completely unaware, staring at the flames in the furnace.
"That's it!"
When the time was up, Chu Mu decisively removed most of the firewood from the furnace, leaving only some burning charcoal fire to maintain the residual temperature.
When the medicine jar was opened, the strong fragrance of the medicine hit his nostrils, making Chu Mu feel faintly restless.
A thin layer of concoction was clearly visible at the bottom of the medicine jar. He took out the medicine spoon and poured a spoonful into the prepared porcelain bowl.
The concoction is slightly viscous, dark brown in color, and looks crystal clear.
Chu Mu pondered for a moment, dipped his chopsticks in some medicinal juice, and put it into his mouth to taste.
It tastes astringent at first, but then becomes sweet.
The taste was no different from what he expected.
"Linghui!"
While silently reciting in his mind, "Spiritual blessing", he swallowed the concoction.
In an instant, qi and blood flow, protecting the internal organs where the medicinal liquid is about to flow.
At the same time, the deep perception also locked onto the medicinal properties that the medicinal juice would emit after entering the body.
Although pharmacies use highly toxic substances as auxiliary medicines, the main and auxiliary medicines are all based on evidence-based combinations.
According to Chu Mu's expectation, the efficacy of the medicine may be different, but its fundamental purpose of assisting qi and blood cultivation is not likely to be wrong.
If something went wrong, it would only prove that the improvement of this prescription was fundamentally wrong, and he would need to think carefully about whether his hard study during this period was in the wrong direction.
After a while, Chu Mu suddenly groaned, his slightly closed eyes opened, and the medicinal juice that had been in his stomach was spit out from his mouth at this moment.
"The medicinal properties are nourishing and the direction is correct. The overall medicinal properties are improved by about one-tenth compared to the original medicinal properties..."
"The toxicity treatment has not been as expected, which can rule out the possibility of brewing. The problem should be the combination of medicinal materials. If used, the interval may be longer than the original prescription..."
"The drug is not stable and will cause heart palpitations-like compression. The cause is unknown and needs to be investigated..."
"Maybe we can try to change one or two of the main ingredients. Ginseng is mild, but it is not consistent with Qidao, or it needs to be changed..."
…
The pen was swaying, and lines of writing appeared on the paper. There were questions that Chu Mu could determine, and there were also unknown guesses.
A piece of paper is filled with writing, but the pen does not stop. When a piece of paper is replaced, the pen is still flowing.
In the end, the pen reached five blank sheets of paper before I could put it down.
There were many questions, almost more than he had originally planned for, but looking at the many questions, Chu Mu's still uncertain heart calmed down.
Don’t be afraid of having too many problems. If you have a problem, just find a way to solve it.
What's most scary is that he can't find the problem at all.
…
