After adding this plate of black juice, Gu Yu took a step back, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to use his internal energy to attach a thin film of internal energy to the bottom of the giant cauldron.
He will rely on this internal force film to adjust the heating and cooling of the alchemy furnace at any time.
Of course, this method consumes a huge amount of internal energy, but the alchemist's methods are naturally diverse, just like ancient jade, there is no shortage of elixirs to restore internal energy.
As time goes by, the giant cauldron rotates faster and slower, and the film under the giant cauldron sometimes becomes thinner and sometimes thicker.
After less than half an hour, Gu Yu's forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, and his face was much pale. He raised his hand and took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out two flawless white pills, and threw them into his mouth. inside.
After a while, Gu Yu's face suddenly became much rosier. Then he opened the small lid on the giant cauldron, began to pick up the medicine baskets on the side, and put various medicinal herbs into the giant cauldron.
As time passed, the giant cauldron rotated faster and faster. In the end, the giant cauldron was like a whirlwind, making it impossible to see its movement.
Moreover, when the giant cauldron rotates, it sets off a huge wave of air that attracts everything around it. This makes it very difficult to release the medicinal herbs. If you are not careful, the herbs will be caught by the giant cauldron and torn to pieces.
If an ordinary middle-level alchemist encounters this situation, he has to accurately control the fire and temperature under the giant cauldron, and ensure that various herbs can be accurately thrown into the alchemy furnace. I am afraid that he will not be able to last for half a quarter of an hour at most. .
However, Gu Yu was still able to steadily put the herbs into the slightly narrow mouth of the cauldron without being disturbed by the rotation of the giant cauldron.
Elder Yuehai behind him sighed, "With such skills and proficiency, I'm afraid he is already at the peak level of a fifth-grade alchemist!"
Gu Meng on the side smiled slightly when he heard this. His father had already refined this Yin Yang Liang Yi elixir countless times, and he was already familiar with the elixir refining process.
Gu Meng also suddenly thought of something at this time, and whispered to Meng, "I wonder if these distinguished guests are here and need help from our Gu family?"
Liao Meng smiled and said, "We are here to borrow the map of Yongzhou, and we hope Miss Gu Meng can make it happen."
There was a trace of embarrassment on Gu Meng's face, and he turned to look at Elder Yuehai who was looking at him with a smile on his face in the distance.
Kyushu has a vast territory. Without a map, it is easy to lose your way, and a lot of important information can be seen from a family's map.
The Gu family deals in medicinal herbs, and this map of Yongzhou was drawn after decades of hard exploration.
If ordinary people wanted to borrow it, I'm afraid Gu Meng would have sternly refused and kicked them out. However, this group of people was kind to him, and Elder Yuehai personally brought them here.
This made her very embarrassed, and she could only say equivocally, "The map matter is of great importance. After my father finishes refining this elixir, I have to ask him for instructions and see what he says."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Zhiyuan and Liao Meng's eyes dimmed a lot. It seemed that Gu Meng most likely rejected their request.
However, they can also understand Gu Meng. After all, outsiders who borrow maps must be treated with caution, and it is normal to refuse.
Looking at Gu Yu at this time, I saw that he was staring at the giant cauldron with a nervous look on his face. He was just concentrating on controlling the flames and did not put in any more herbs.
Looking at the ground aside, the originally packed medicine baskets were almost all consumed at this moment, leaving only the last two medicine baskets still on the ground.
Jiang Xianfeng asked curiously, "What is the Ancient Jade Patriarch doing now? Has the elixir been refined?"
Gu Meng smiled and said, "Not yet! But it will be soon!"
"Indeed, if I'm not wrong, now there are only two final steps left to draw out the two qi of yin and yang and merge them into elixir!" Elder Yuehai said while stroking his beard with a thoughtful look on his face.
Gu Meng covered her mouth in surprise and asked in confusion, "How...how does Elder Yuehai know that there are only the last two steps left?"
This elixir refining process can be said to be extremely cumbersome. The more high-grade elixirs, the more complicated and longer the refining process is. That is to say, Gu Meng has seen his father refining so many times with his own eyes, and only then does he know what stage the ancient jade elixir has reached, and what is still there. How many steps are left.
But Elder Yuehai was watching it for the first time, and he could guess what to do next just by looking at the previous steps!
Elder Yuehai said slowly, "I once investigated the Yin and Yang Liangyi Pill refined by the old man of the Gu family. Although this is a very unpopular pill, I have also seen some fragments of descriptions of it in many ancient books. In summary It can also be used to demonstrate its effects.
That is, it can provide users with insights into the great path of Yin and Yang, and is helpful for the cultivation of warriors who practice Yin and Yang.
With this information, and the fact that I just looked at the dozens of medicinal herbs that Gu Yu invested in...
I think he should be using fierce fire to continuously squeeze the juice of the three-wheel star grass in the giant cauldron, so that all the herbal essences in the giant cauldron can be gathered together.
As long as more than ten breaths pass, he will thicken the internal force film, thereby lowering the temperature, so that the ice flower in it can work, so that the herbal essence will no longer be excessively lost, and prepare for the next...extraction of yin and yang. !
Let me think about it... I remember that it is recorded in ancient books that there are several kinds of herbs that can attract the gathering of Yin and Yang. For example, Hanxu grass among the fourth-grade herbs can easily attract Yin energy, and among the third-grade herbs The Ice Heart Flower can also attract Yin Qi, but the effect is much worse than Hanxu Grass, so I think Ancient Jade should use Hanxu Grass to attract Yin Qi.
As for herbs that attract yang energy, I have rarely seen them. I only know that among the sixth-grade medicinal herbs, there is one named sunflower that grows specifically in extremely yang places, but I don’t know if it can attract yang energy. "
"This... this..." Gu Meng took a deep breath, and it took him a long time to regain his composure.
"Is there something wrong with what I said? If so, you have to help me correct it. There is no end to learning. There is no distinction between high and low in this kind of academic exchange, only right and wrong." Elder Yuehai said with a look of thirsty for knowledge.
The people in Meng on the side also looked at Gu Meng curiously, and they all wanted to know whether Elder Yuehai's statement just now was correct.
"Yes... that's right, there is no mistake at all!" Gu Meng said with difficulty.
She had always heard about Elder Yuehai's reputation as a knowledgeable person, but unfortunately she had never seen it with her own eyes, so she had always been skeptical. She didn't know whether what people in the city said was true. But today, she actually saw Yuehai. Elder Hai’s profound knowledge!
"Then...can sunflowers really absorb Yang Qi?" Elder Yuehai asked seriously.
He always pays attention to the rigor of one is one and two is two in academics, but he has never been careless in this matter.
"Yes, the reason why the place where the sunflower grows is a place of extreme sunshine. It is precisely because when it grows, it attracts yang energy for many years, which causes that place to become a place of extreme sunshine." Gu Meng explained road.
"That's it!" Elder Yuehai nodded and said.
At this moment, Gu Yu took action again and took pictures of the only two medicine baskets left on the side.
The two medicine baskets shattered out of thin air, revealing two jade boxes inside.
One jade box is red and the other is green.
Gu Yu didn't even look at it, and directly opened the green one. Inside was a piece of green grass with some light frost attached to it, illuminated by the bright fire of the Earth's Core. , shining with a faint light.
The moment Gu Yu opened the jade box, the fire in the center of the platform instantly rioted. The flames under the giant cauldron surged in an instant, turning from fiery red to dark blue, like an irritable and irritable warrior. When your own glory is tarnished, you can't help but take up arms and fight back!
Gu Yu had also made preparations long ago. He outputted the internal force in his body like crazy and set up an extremely thick barrier of internal force under the giant cauldron, which instantly isolated the fire from the center of the earth from contact with the giant cauldron.
At the same time, he immediately used his inner strength to wrap up the Hanxu grass to prevent it from triggering the riot of the Earth's Core Fire again.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Hanxu Grass is indeed worthy of its reputation. In just a moment, it attracted a large amount of Yin Qi in the air, causing this black tower space where Yang is prosperous and Yin is declining because of the existence of the raging fire in the center of the earth. The balance of yin and yang is destroyed, which triggers the riot of fire in the center of the earth!" Elder Yuehai said while stroking his beard.
Gu Meng was extremely nervous at this time. She knew very well that this was the most important and crucial step in her father's elixir refining, not only because inducing the two qi of yin and yang can be said to be the most important step in the entire process of refining the yin and yang yin elixir. It was a difficult step, and her father had failed at this step many times before.
The difficulty in this step is to activate the Yin and Yang Qi separately without letting them overflow.
Once it overflows, the two qi of yin and yang will not be balanced. In this way, the last step of the yin and yang qi elixir, which is to gather the two qi of yin and yang to refine the elixir, will not be completed.
Gu Meng secretly felt worried for his father and only hoped that he could succeed this time.
Elder Yuehai watched the ancient jade alchemy with great interest. This method of turning the invisible energy between heaven and earth into tangible objects through external objects was very novel.
In his alchemy career, such strange alchemy was extremely rare.
Of course, this may also be because his alchemist level is too low and he cannot come into contact with things of this level.
Looking at Liao Meng and the others on the side, they all looked surprised and doubtful, obviously they did not understand the ancient jade's current alchemy steps.
However, in an inconspicuous dark corner behind everyone, a pair of eyes with worried and guilty eyes were staring at another unopened jade box floating in the air...
