For three days in a row, Zhao Qing stayed in his bedroom studying the Marrow Cleansing Pill, doing nothing but eating and practicing.
Although the Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Qi Gathering Pill are both low-level and low-grade elixirs, their refining methods are completely different, and the requirements for controlling spiritual energy are extremely stringent.
The most critical step is to turn the tiger bones into medicinal liquid. This step is not too difficult. What really matters is how to supplement the medicine to ensure that its medicinal effect can be fully retained.
Zhao Qing spent three days just to understand the properties of a few herbs.
He didn't dare to start making alchemy without enough confidence.
After all, you can't even try a piece of tiger bone a few times in your hand. If everything fails, not only will you not be able to break through the realm, but it will also affect the subsequent refining efficiency of the Qi Gathering Pill.
"Two taels of medicine can be used to open five furnaces. Why don't you try it first?"
Zhao Qing enjoyed his wife's gentle shoulder-squeezing service and considered it carefully.
"Forget it, let's turn on the stove."
What you get on paper will eventually make you realize it, but you will definitely know that this matter must be done in detail.
"Shu Yue, prepare medicine. Two liang of tiger bones, two qian of honeysuckle, one liang each of deer title and eucommia, two spoons of honey jelly..."
In the past two days, Zhao Qing has initially trained his wife to become an assistant. Apart from other things, there is no problem in memorizing the medicinal materials in his hands.
A red training technique was played, and the fire rose up.
The tiger bones were put into the furnace. Zhao Qing controlled his spiritual energy to penetrate into the casserole to protect the bone marrow. He also put in honeysuckle and other herbs and began to try to extract the medicinal properties of the tiger bones.
The shadows in the sun gradually tilted, and time flew by.
Beads of sweat gradually formed on Zhao Qing's forehead, and his beloved wife thoughtfully lifted up his sleeves to wipe them away.
"Get Minggui." He asked for another medicinal material, relying on pharmacology and the alchemist's intuition to temporarily change the order of the medicine.
If it is not changed, the medicinal properties of tiger bones will be difficult to preserve.
…
Half an hour later, with a slight abnormal sound, Zhao Qing slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
The beloved wife said nervously at the side: "Did your husband succeed?"
Zhao Qing frowned slightly, opened the casserole and looked at it. A pill that was two times larger than an ordinary pill was lying quietly in it.
To some extent, this is actually a success.
However, due to insufficient control over the spiritual energy, the medicinal properties of the tiger bone were not fully retained in the initial stage, and the effect of the elixir should only be 60 to 70%.
Moreover, the level of proficiency in the Marrow Cleansing Pill did not appear on the virtual panel.
"It can be considered a success." Zhao Qing nodded slightly.
It is already very difficult to refine it into a pill for the first time.
But after this practice, he discovered a problem. With his current spiritual energy control, it would be extremely difficult to completely retain the medicinal properties of tiger bones.
The beloved wife silently handed over the water glass and said warmly: "I think the elixir looks very beautiful... Is your husband worried?"
Zhao Qing drank water to moisten his throat and shared the current situation with his wife. Although it was of no avail, having an audience could always relieve his worries.
"With my current state, it is very difficult to retain the medicinal properties of tiger bones, but without the Marrow Cleansing Pill, I cannot improve my state..."
Wang Shuyue rolled her eyes and said, "Husband, you might as well try whether this pill can help you break through."
"If not, Shu Yue has a way."
oh?
Do you have any idea?
Zhao Qing looked at his wife suspiciously, wanting to see what crooked ideas his little wife could come up with.
"Since two ounces of tiger bones cannot fully retain the medicinal properties, why not increase the amount of tiger bones used in the medicine? As long as the final medicinal properties are maintained to a certain extent...can't it?"
Zhao Qing smiled and shook his head: "Shu Yue, your thinking is too simple. If the dosage of the medicine is changed, the dosage of each medicine must be changed for the emperor, ministers and subordinates, which is difficult to achieve."
"Try two more times. If you don't succeed, you can only buy one later."
The girl shook his arm: "Husband, you might as well give it a try, what if there is a chance?"
What if there is no chance...
"If the amount of tiger bone used in the medicine is changed, the remaining medicine can only be tried three times, not to mention that there is basically no chance of success."
The lovely wife shook her head, picked up the prescription written by her husband and said: "According to what my husband said, honeysuckle, deer's title, eucommia and honey jelly are all used to protect the medicinal properties of tiger bones. All we need to do is change the dosage of these four medicines. .”
"The honey jelly should be used to form a liquid film. Lonicera japonica is only used as medicine. There should be no need to change it. The only things that need to be adjusted are the dosage of Lubit and Eucommia ulmoides!"
"It's the same as cooking. It's just the difference in oil and salt."
Zhao Qing had a wry smile on his face, and shook his head helplessly as he listened to his beloved wife's plausive remarks.
It sounds so easy. Is this the same as cooking? proceed if you can!
Wang Shuyue has been studying with her husband for three days. Now that she is excited, she feels more and more that her plan is feasible.
"Husband, please give it a try! If it doesn't work, Shuyue will be at your disposal tonight!"
?
Zhao Qing slowly turned around and looked at his shy wife: "Aren't you just at my disposal?"
"Forget it, since Shu Yue thinks it's feasible, then I'll try it as my husband. If it fails, someone will be punished tonight!"
As he spoke, he picked up the larger pill in the casserole and drank it.
If this one is enough to help him pass the test, there will be no need to waste medicinal materials, and he can refine it later when his spiritual energy control is improved.
The fragrance of red pepper is permeated, and there is a faint sweetness in the mouth, which is the effect of honey jelly.
Within a moment, Zhao Qing felt varying degrees of throbbing pain in his muscles, bones, and meridians, and a feeling of heat arose in the center of his back.
It's like a flaming dragon running through the spine, rising from the tail gate, passing through Jiaji Pass, and going straight to the Jade Pillow Heavenly Spirit.
Even the speed of the spiritual energy has accelerated a lot. The accumulated spiritual energy in the Dantian is about to move, and it starts to run all over the body, but in the end it has to stop at Weulu Pass.
Zhao Qing realized in his heart that the accumulation of spiritual energy was completely enough. He only needed the spiritual energy to break through the tail gate, and he could break through to the middle stage of Qi refining in an instant!
He became excited. Although this semi-finished product did not achieve the expected effect, it did have a certain effect.
"It's still a little short, then let's follow Shu Yue's instructions and open another furnace and prepare the medicine!"
This time, Zhao Qing used three taels of tiger bones, one tael and three taels each of Deer Bit and Eucommia ulmoides, and the other amounts remained unchanged. Based on the first refining experience, he tried to use spiritual power to control the medicinal properties of tiger bones. reserve.
The girl lay on the table and stared at her husband in a daze, her ears getting hot from time to time...
As wisps of spiritual energy entered the furnace, Zhao Qing's face became paler. This was a little more difficult than the first time, but maybe it was because he had just taken the Marrow Cleansing Pill. He could clearly feel that now he could use the spiritual energy like an arm. , much smoother than before.
This is only the effect of the semi-finished Marrow Cleansing Pill.
It can be seen how important the foundation and talent are in practicing Taoism. The Marrow Cleansing Pill only makes up for some qualifications in the muscles, bones and meridians. Those monks who are truly talented can be said to have made rapid progress, which is unparalleled by others.
The tree that hugs each other is born from the moth; the nine-story platform is born from the tired soil. Roots and bones are the starting point of everything for a monk. It was only at this moment that Zhao Qing truly understood the horror of the spirit root spirit body.
Those monks with good qualifications probably don't have such troubles that they can't break through, right?
Zhao Qing's thoughts were flying, and the movement of spiritual energy became more and more subtle, followed by a dull sound of the furnace falling.
The marrow cleansing pill is ready!

"Has it become a pill!?"
The sweet wife's clear voice rang in her ears, and she couldn't wait any longer.
Zhao Qing was so surprised that he turned around and took his beloved wife's arm: "My Shuyue is so smart that my husband has decided to reward you tonight!"
The girl's watery eyes froze for a moment, then she immediately reacted: "No! You are a scoundrel!"
After a while of playing around, Zhao Qing opened the casserole and carefully admired the real marrow-cleansing pill for a moment.
If you eat it, it will be no problem to break through the middle stage of Qi refining!
