Su Mo held the token given by Elder Du and after asking for directions, climbed the medicine mountain without any hindrance.
The disciples guarding the Medicine Mountain were a little surprised when they saw Su Mo holding Elder Du's token... He had never seen Elder Du give the Medicine Mountain token to anyone.
However, he gave Su Mo directions and let him go without saying anything else.
When Sumo climbed the medicinal mountain, he smelled a mellow medicinal fragrance filling the air.
Yaoshan didn't have as many disciples as Lushan, but on the contrary, I didn't even see a single person along the way.
Sumo climbed to the top of Medicine Mountain and saw an extremely simple thatched cottage that didn't look like an elder's residence at all.
Sounds came from time to time in the thatched cottage, and the scent of medicine continued to emit.
Su Mo walked outside the thatched cottage and before he spoke, he heard Elder Du's voice coming from inside the thatched cottage: "Come in."
"Yes." Su Mo pushed the door open and saw a gray-haired Elder Du who was concentrating on refining elixirs in front of an alchemy furnace.
Seeing that Elder Du ignored him, Su Mo didn't bother him and waited quietly on the side.
Elder Du's clothes are as simple as that of a thatched cottage.
He looked inferior to even an outer disciple, and the medicinal fragrance wafting through his messy long hair made Elder Du extremely otherworldly.
This is a simple old man...Su Mo gave Elder Du a rough definition in his heart.
Elder Du ignored Su Mo and Su Mo just kept waiting.
While waiting, Su Mo's eyes were gradually attracted by Elder Du's alchemy skills.
Elder Du was seen controlling the elixir fire with his spiritual power, and at the same time, he was using his spiritual power all over his body to interfere with the process of the elixir in the elixir furnace.
The dancing look seemed a bit unsightly.
Suddenly, Su Mo heard Elder Du shout: "Zhi Nian Cao."
Su Mo immediately handed over the Zhi Nian Cao in his hand. With a wave of Elder Du's hand, the two Zhi Nian Cao instantly turned into two drops of medicinal liquid and flew into the alchemy furnace under Elder Du's precise control.
Su Mo saw that Elder Du didn't seem to mind watching him refining alchemy, so he didn't leave and watched quietly from the side.
Condensing the meaning of vegetation into his own eyes, he watched the changes in the properties of the medicine in the alchemy furnace.
In the alchemy furnace, there were not only Zhiniancao sent by Su Mo, but also many other medicinal herbs.
It seems that Elder Du has just started refining the elixir not long ago. The various herbs in the alchemy furnace have not yet been completely blended, let alone formed into an elixir.
One person practices, another person watches...
The more Su Mo watched, the more fascinated he became. He gradually became immersed in it, turning his ears off and seeing only the fusion and evolution of various medicinal properties.
There is also the ethereal Taoism that is like practicing cultivation...
This extremely simple thatched cottage is constantly exuding medicinal essence. The medicinal essence spreads and envelopes the entire medicinal mountain...
I don't know how long it took, Elder Du suddenly showed a solemn expression, and his heavenly cultivation emanated from his body, covering the entire alchemy furnace, and the spiritual fire in the alchemy furnace became hot in an instant.
Buzz!
There was a sound of resonance between heaven and earth, and the sound of the great road lingered on the medicine mountain.
Finally, under Elder Du's wave, the spiritual fire in the alchemy furnace was extinguished, and a golden elixir flew out of the alchemy furnace.
Su Mo's eyes were blank, and his mind kept recalling the scenes when Elder Du was refining the elixir just now.
Elder Du put away the golden elixir, turned to look at Su Mo, who was still contemplating the art of alchemy, and smoothed his gray beard without saying anything.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Mo came to his senses and his eyes were in a trance.
"What did you see?"
Elder Du's calm voice sounded from the side.
Su Mo turned around and saw that Elder Du had already been sitting at the small square table making a pot of tea. He raised the cup and drank slowly.
"I have seen the evolution from the art of vegetation to the art of alchemy." Su Mo answered truthfully.
"What does it look like?" Elder Du asked again.
Like... Su Mo frowned when he heard this, recalling in his mind the evolution of the rules that Elder Du had injected into the alchemy furnace and medicinal properties.
Suddenly, Su Mo trembled and blurted out: "It's like practicing!"
"Alchemy, like cultivation, is about interpreting rules. Cultivation is about interpreting the rules of heaven and earth on one's own body, while alchemy is about interpreting the rules of heaven and earth on numerous herbs."
Elder Du turned his head and looked at Su Mo in surprise. After thinking for a while, he asked:
"Want to try it?"
Su Mo turned his head to look at Elder Du blankly. For a moment, he didn't understand why Elder Du would let him try.
However, Su Mo really wanted to give it a try. He had just watched Elder Du make alchemy, and the evolution of the rules of alchemy kept lingering in his mind.
"think!"
Elder Du nodded, pointed to the many fairy medicines and herbs piled aside, and said, "Then give it a try..."
Su Mo walked to the alchemy furnace and wanted to take action, but didn't know how.
"Is there any problem?" Elder Du saw Su Mo's confusion and asked.
Su Mo hesitated and replied, "I don't have any prescription."
"Why do you need a prescription?" Elder Du asked.
Su Mo was stunned: "How can you make an elixir without an elixir recipe?"
From Su Mo's understanding, all elixirs will be refined according to the recipe of each elixir.
Without an elixir prescription, how can one know the herbs required for elixirs, how can one know the ratio of various herbs, and how can one know the temperature of the spiritual fire?
Elder Du stood up and walked to Su Mo's side, looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him, smoothed his gray beard, and asked a question.
“Where do all the elixirs in the world come from?”
Su Mo was stunned for a moment, "Of course it's what the previous sages..."
Su Mo paused and didn't say any more, his eyes filled with realization.
Yes, elixirs were also created by people, but how did the predecessors make elixirs when they created them?
"Ordinary people may need prescriptions to refine elixirs..." Elder Du shook his head and sat back on the small square table.
"But you have the art of grass and trees. You are familiar with the properties of various grasses and trees. You can just rely on the calculation of the meaning of the grass and trees. What do you want the elixir for?"
"Alchemy is just a shortcut for laymen. If you take this shortcut, it will be difficult to have your own way of alchemy."
Su Mo suddenly realized it, looked at the many medicinal herbs piled aside, and asked: "I don't know what I want to practice..."
Elder Du raised his tea cup and smiled: "Then do whatever you want."
Do whatever you want...
Su Mo thought for a moment, then waved his hand at the many herbs on the side, and several herbs flew into the alchemy furnace.
Su Mo began to calculate the rules of various medicinal properties in his mind, calculating that the properties of several of them would cancel each other out, and the properties of several of them would increase each other.
After calculating the various medicinal properties, he waved his hand and injected spiritual energy into the alchemy furnace.
