In the narrow cave, the flames in the medicine cauldron reflected on the mountain wall, with teeth and claws constantly beating. Xiao Yan stared at the tumbling flames in the medicine cauldron with all his attention. His slightly pale face was covered with beads of sweat. Refining medicine for a long time was an extremely consuming task. Moreover, Xiao Yan's practice at this time was again It's just that the lowest yellow rank and low-level, it is difficult to have any advantage over the solidity and durability. Therefore, it is very difficult for him to persist in refining medicine for nearly two hours in front of the medicine cauldron.
Squinting his eyes slightly, Xiao Yan once again successfully refined the blood clotting grass into white powder. Yao Lao nodded slightly, knowing that he had reached the limit, and said softly, "Okay, let's take a break."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's shoulders struggling to maintain balance suddenly stepped down, and his body seemed to be relieved, lying softly on the cold ground, panting with big mouths, his chest constantly undulating, and his whole body numb. He doesn't even bother to move a finger now.
"Cultivation works best at this time."
Taking a glance at Xiao Yan who was lying on the ground like slime, Yao Lao said lightly.
After laziness and diligence fought against heaven and man in his heart for a while, Xiao Yan had to sit up again, howling reluctantly, putting his trembling hands in practice mudra, and then slowly closing his eyes.
Seeing Xiao Yan's appearance, Yao Lao smiled, his eyes shifted to the dozens of jade boxes placed in front of the medicine cauldron. The jade boxes were filled with pale white powder extracted from blood clotting plants. , These are the results of Xiao Yan's previous efforts.
Looking from left to right, the pale color of the jade box is getting more and more intense. When the last jade box is obtained, the white powder in it has almost reached a pure white texture.
Seeing this extremely obvious improvement, Yao Lao nodded in amazement, and once again praised Xiao Yan's outstanding soul perception.
Glancing at Xiao Yan who was regaining his anger, Yao Lao crossed his legs and leaned against the stone wall, closing his eyes leisurely, and now Xiao Yan extracted the first material, and there are two more behind, waiting for him to slowly work hard. \\
…
After closing his eyes and cultivating for nearly an hour, the cyclone in Xiao Yan's body that appeared dim because of the exhaustion of fighting energy finally gave off a bright luster again, and the halo this time seemed to be even greater than a few hours ago. Brighten up a little bit.
Slowly opening his eyes, the soreness and weakness of the whole body also faded more than half. He twisted his neck, and the sound of bones colliding made Xiao Yan exhale comfortably.
"Cultivated? Let's continue." Opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Yan who had become vigorous again, Yao Lao smiled.
With a wry smile and shook his head, after the painful process of refining medicine, Xiao Yan finally realized that he had been fooled by the old medicine. In the past, the old medicine refining medicine just stretched out his palm and burned it randomly, which made countless people crazy. The pill was hotly released. Such a simple process also left Xiao Yan with the impression that it was extremely easy to refine the medicine, but now when he refined it by himself, he knew that this thing is more than hard work to move the ore. tired.
Now that I understood, it seemed a bit late, so Xiao Yan had to sigh depressed, and sat in front of the medicine cauldron again, and began to refine the essence of the other two medicinal materials.
With the previous experience of refining blood clotting plants, Xiao Yan was obviously much easier this time. After burning eight vitalizing fruits and ten poppies, he finally succeeded in extracting the configuration from the two medicinal materials. Things needed for healing medicine.
What is extracted from the living qi fruit is a kind of slightly darker fine particles. These fine particles have the effect of removing stasis and promoting blood circulation. In the wild, some experienced wounded mercenaries, if they do not have enough healing medicine, often Twist the living qi fruit into minced meat to relieve injuries.
Extracted from poppies is a light red liquid. This liquid has the effect of paralyzing nerves and can be used for pain relief.
Looking at the three medicines neatly placed in front of Xiao Yan, Old Yao nodded slightly and said softly, "The required materials have been refined. Now, let's combine their medicinal powers."
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan nodded solemnly, and skillfully threw the pure white powder into the medicine cauldron, and then roasted it over a warm fire for ten minutes. After the pure white powder turned slightly red, Quickly pour the poppy flower liquid into it.
As soon as the liquid entered the medicine cauldron, it wrapped the pure white powder and rolled a little in the flames, and the two gradually merged into a light red viscous liquid.
The soul's perception is trying hard to control the temperature of the flame, and the light red viscous liquid is slowly being smoked.
Under the continuous burning of the flame, the viscous liquid gradually turned into a dark red paste shape.
Staring fiercely at the dark red paste in the medicine cauldron from the transparent mirror, Xiao Yan hesitated slightly, and threw the small black particles of the living Qi fruit into it.
The small black particles entered the medicine cauldron, but there was no change. Large groups of small particles bounced back and forth in the flame, just unwilling to merge into the dark red paste as they wished.
"Various materials have different resistance to temperature. Therefore, you must learn to control the flame temperature in any place in the cauldron as you like. Where low temperature is required, you must suppress the flame. Where high temperature is required, you must Let go of the suppression and increase the flame temperature..." Yao Lao said lightly while looking at Xiao Yan who was sweating profusely.
Licking his dry lips, Xiao Yan nodded, and quickly separated a cluster of soul perception, trying hard to control the flames under the tiny particles to slowly raise the temperature.
"Boom..."
As the soul's perception released its suppression of temperature, a cluster of uncontrolled flames soared up, and in just a few moments, a small half of the black particles were burned into ashes, and Xiao Yan, who was frightened in a cold sweat, hurriedly suppressed it to his death. .
On the one hand, soul perception must maintain the flame temperature on one side, and on the other hand, it must raise the flame temperature on the other side. This dual-purpose requirement made Xiao Yan a headache.
However, after several dangerous situations, Xiao Yan finally calmed down from his rush, touched the cold sweat on his forehead, and exhaled deeply. The little fighting energy left in his body was poured into the fire.
Inside the medicine cauldron, the tiny black particles finally burst open unbearably under the increasing temperature. A pinch of jet black powder slowly drifted into the light red paste. The color of the person dyed more deeply...
When the last pinch of black powder floated into the paste, Xiao Yan let out a long sigh of relief, and his palm slowly moved away from the fire, and as Xiao Yan pulled his palm back, the flame in the medicine cauldron gradually extinguished. .
Looking at Xiao Yan, who was panting, Old Yao smiled slightly, waved his palm, and the lid of the medicine cauldron flew down. With a move with his right hand, the large group of deep red paste in the cauldron leapt out of thin air, and finally suspended. Halfway in the cave.
Glancing at the dark red paste that exudes a strong medicinal flavor, Yao Lao's palm cut it out of thin air, and with the wave of his palm, the continuously flowing dark red paste was also divided into at least hundreds of tiny pastes. liquid.
He took Na Jie from Xiao Yan with one hand, and with a flick of Yao Lao's finger, hundreds of small jade bottles suddenly filled the narrow cave.
After placing the jade bottle, Yao Lao waved his hand casually, and the paste liquid in mid-air accurately fell into the jade bottle.
After taking a jade bottle, Yao Lao smiled and handed it to Xiao Yan, and said with a joking smile: "Congratulations, you succeeded in refining medicine for the first time!"
He couldn't wait to take the jade bottle, Xiao Yan looked at the crimson liquid medicine that was not pure in color, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and pride.
"Hey, from now on, I am also a pharmacist!"
