One day, there was a stone house in Wuhui Valley. There was a huge alchemy furnace in this room.
There was a young man standing next to the alchemy furnace. He was holding a book in his hand and looking at it intently. That person was Shen Luo.
It has been more than a month since the day Mr. Zhao took over the house.
The book in Shen Luo's hand is the "Medicine Classic" written by Mr. Zhao throughout his life.
This "Medicine Classic" records many medical techniques, the most eye-catching of which is the True Qi Pill, which can help warriors develop true qi.
This Qi Pill was created by Mr. Zhao himself, and the materials used are extremely expensive and rare.
It's just that although he created this elixir, he rarely refined it.
Ever since he knew about the existence of immortal cultivators, how could he still be in the mood to practice martial arts?
Shen Luo wanted to refine this elixir because he wanted to see if it could help him break through the bottleneck of his cultivation.
There are two bottles of Qi Gathering Powder left by Mr. Zhao. Now he has used half of the bottle and it is still stuck on the third floor.
He was reluctant to continue using the elixir, so he gave it a try.
See if you can use some folk remedies to break through the bottleneck.
Shen Luo looked at the book in his hand carefully and looked back and forth several times before placing the book aside.
Pour the cool water prepared previously into the alchemy furnace.
This water was scooped up from the lake outside.
Then he brought some firewood, piled it up under the alchemy furnace, and lit it.
Looking at the flames burning in front of him, Shen Luo stood aside and waited.
He felt that making alchemy was like making soup. Once the water boiled, you could add herbs into it.
About half an hour passed, during which time Shen Luo kept adding firewood.
As the flame heated up, there was a "bang" sound and the lid of the alchemy furnace was pushed open by the water vapor.
Seeing the alchemy furnace in front of him making a strange movement, he put all the materials he had prepared into it.
Since it was his first time refining an elixir, he didn't know how to make it.
All I could do was use the gourd to draw the dipper, throw all the materials in and stand aside and wait.
After a while, the flame under the alchemy furnace gradually became smaller.
Shen Luo opened the alchemy furnace with great expectations, but what he saw next made him dumbfounded.
This alchemy really made him feel like making soup. There were many boiled herbs floating in the alchemy furnace.
Shen Luo thought that refining elixirs was the same as cooking soup, but in fact it was not the same as the mortal alchemist refining elixirs.
It means to preheat the alchemy furnace first, then chop the medicinal materials into a puree and press it into a spherical shape through a mold.
Finally, it is put into the alchemy furnace and dried to become the elixir.
Immortal cultivators mostly use water to make elixirs, first dissolving the spiritual essence of the medicinal materials in the water.
Then the liquid is condensed into an elixir and then assisted by some magic techniques. The elixir refined is completely different from the elixir refined with fire.
Looking at the medicine residue floating on it, Shen Luo picked up all the medicine residue.
He felt that too much water must have been added, so the alchemy failed.
So I got out all the water, medicine dregs, etc. from the alchemy furnace.
Although he messed up the first alchemy, he didn't feel bad at all.
After all, this medicinal material is not his, but Mr. Zhao's.
He took out everything in the alchemy furnace and waited for it to cool down.
He started refining alchemy for the second time. This time he learned his lesson and put in less water.
An hour later, the result was still the same as before.
"It's strange, why is it still like this? What's the problem?" He scratched the back of his head in confusion and muttered to himself.
Unwilling to give up, Shen Luo picked up the medicinal book and read through it again.
This time he didn't jump to look directly at the Qi Dan part, but started looking at it from the beginning.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
It turns out that this alchemy does not require water, just crush the medicinal materials and press them with a mold.
"Oh, I should have thought of it a long time ago. How can this be boiled with water?"
"I'm so stupid." Shen Luo scolded himself.
Fortunately, it's not too late to make amends.
After all, it’s just the beginning and there’s still time.
He went to Mr. Zhao's room to find a mold, took some herbs, chopped them up and put them into the mold to press them.
Alchemy requires the ability to control fire.
When the heat should be increased and when the heat should be reduced, there are strict control times.
But Shen Luo didn't care about these trivial matters.
He put the elixirs pressed by the mold into the elixir furnace.
He started to add more firewood and used full firepower to refine the elixir.
As long as the fire is bigger and stronger, the elixir will be refined faster.
After adding a lot of firewood, Shen Luo became idle and simply waited there.
Soon, the time for a cup of tea passed, and there was no sign at all.
At this time, a refreshing fragrance came from the alchemy room and hit your nostrils.
The fragrance makes people feel relaxed and refreshed.
Could it be that……
A hint of joy flashed across Shen Luo's face and he opened the alchemy furnace.
Instantly, the scent of the medicine became stronger, and he grabbed all the elixirs in his hand.
The elixir was green and red. He picked up one and put it into his mouth.
In just a second, he spat it out again.
"This pill is mushy."
He looked down at the elixir in his hand, which looked good on the surface.
When he turned the elixir over, when he looked down, it was all blurry.
"Holy shit, do you want to play with me like this!"
He never expected that refining the elixir would be too difficult, but the Medicine Book did not indicate what should be paid attention to when refining the elixir.
It just labels the materials needed for alchemy and the efficacy of the elixir.
Isn't this a scam?
Faced with these three setbacks, Shen Luo was not discouraged.
Instead, he adjusted his mentality. Since there was no instructions on how to make elixirs, he would slowly explore on his own.
In this way, Shenluo began the long road of alchemy, and seven days passed unknowingly.
During this period, in addition to sleeping and eating, he made alchemy every day.
He is not upset when faced with repeated failures, but looks for problems within himself.
In this way, his entire mentality changed.
I was irritated and anxious because I encountered a bottleneck in my practice, but my restless heart finally calmed down.
Half a month passed in a flash, and suddenly the sound of a young man laughing heartily came from the alchemy room.
"One month, it took a whole month for me to finally refine the elixir!" Shen Luo laughed loudly in the room.
After countless failures for a month, he finally succeeded in refining it.
Hard work pays off!
Looking at the good-quality elixir in his hand, he immediately swallowed one, sat cross-legged and started practicing the formula.
After a few days of luck, he found that the spiritual power in his body had not changed at all.
"how so?"
He opened his eyes and frowned, feeling very depressed.
Could it be that he worked hard for half a month to refine the elixir.
It is of no use to me, or is this elixir only helpful to those who practice Qi?
Shen Luo recalled that before, he seemed to be practicing the Immortal Kung Fu, which is a type of Qi refining, not the Zhen Qi Kung Fu practiced by warriors.
In order to guess what he was thinking, he thought of a person who could be used as a guinea pig for experiments. That person was Jiang Fugui.
