3. After 5 hours…
Song Shuhang's eyes were still bright, but his body was a little tired.
"The forty-first herb is coming, it's finally coming to an end." Song Shuhang murmured.
He didn't expect that he could stick to this step for the first time in alchemy. But he's almost at his limit now. After this medicine, there are only fresh Bawang branches, Jiuyang Chiyan bamboo slices; deep sea cold crystal, snow demon core four medicinal materials, he can last until the end!
Open the pot, and quickly put the forty-first herb into it.
Before Song Shuhang could cover the pot, there was a sudden change in the hot pot pot.
When the light gray medicinal liquid that was originally fused with the forty herbs came into contact with the forty-one herbs, a stench and burnt smell erupted violently!
Half the pot of medicinal liquid in the pot was quickly evaporated, and it was reduced by one-fifth in the blink of an eye!
"Tsk, did you fail?" Song Shuhang said in distress, although he said that because of adding water at the beginning, he doubted whether he had failed from the beginning.
But he persisted until the 41st herbal medicine without any problems. It was inevitable that there would be a little expectation and hope in his heart. This is the unique psychology of human beings, right
But now, is it finally going to be a complete failure
"No, it's not completely over yet." Song Shuhang saw that although the gray medicinal liquid was being evaporated, it was still tenaciously integrating the forty-first medicinal herbs.
He knew he had to do something now, and if he didn't do anything, he would really be finished.
In fact, the 41st herb is indeed the most difficult step in 'simplifying the body quenching solution'.
From this step, it is actually the stage of 'simplifying the body quenching liquid'. The four herbs after this herb are not to increase the medicinal properties.
Fresh Bawang Branch, Jiuyang Chiyan Bamboo Sliced; Deep Sea Cold Crystal, Snow Demon Core, the first two are yang to rigid, and the latter two are yin and soft. The four medicinal materials are used to purify the 'simplified body quenching liquid'.
Purification is the most important step in the body quenching liquid. If it is not purified, the body quenching liquid in the pot is at best a pot of Shiquan Dabu soup. After drinking it, it will make people feel great, but the quenching effect is greatly reduced. After adding the purification step, the Shiquan Dabu Tang can be transformed into a body quenching liquid, and a mortal medicine can be transformed into an immortal liquid.
And the forty-first herb is the introduction to purification.
This step is indeed the easiest part to fail, and Soft Feather has failed at this step dozens of times.
But what can be done to bring back the failure
If the pharmacist was present, with his superb experience and skills in alchemy, he would be able to turn the tide and bring this furnace back... No, it was this pot of 'body quenching liquid'.
However, Shuhang had no experience, let alone the skills of a pharmacist.
"Evaporation is too fast, you must slow down the process first. Add water!" Song Shuhang was a dead horse and a living horse doctor, adding a ladle of water to the pot. Although I don't know if it will work, at least the speed of evaporation has slowed down. few.
"There are four herbs left."
Song Shuhang's thinking was running wildly.
In terms of time, there is not enough time for him to make another pill. In an hour or two, the roommates will probably be back.
To be honest, Song Shuhang couldn't guarantee that his enthusiastic roommates would tie him up and send him to the hospital's psychiatric department if they saw him tossing 'alchemy' in the small kitchen.
According to their enthusiasm to the extent that each of them will issue more than ten good person cards, this possibility is very high!
"Put all the rest of the herbs in one breath and try it. Anyway, it's close to failure, let's just absorb the experience." Song Shuhang decided.
The Northern River Loose People and Soft Feather in the group have failed many times. He is a pure layman. If he succeeds the first time, there will be a problem, right
Open the pot.
Fresh Bawang Branch, Jiuyang Chiyan Bamboo Sliced; Deep Sea Cold Crystal, Snow Demon Core, four medicinal materials were thrown into the pot by Shuhang in one breath.
Cover the pot!
Later, Song Shuhang saw the real 'ice and fire double heaven hot pot'.
Fresh Bawang Branch and Jiuyang Chiyan Bamboo slices fused with some of the medicinal liquid. The two medicinal materials turned red when heated, as if they were about to burn. This part of the medicinal liquid becomes more boiling and evaporates faster. Evaporated gas spews out from the vent holes in the lid like a fountain.
The deep-sea cold crystal and the core of the snow demon were heated, and the outer shell was broken, and an ice-blue liquid gushed out from the inside. The ice-blue liquid seemed to have an extremely low temperature. After merging with the other half of the medicinal liquid, the boiling medicinal liquid began to cool down calmly.
The calm part is getting cooler and the boiling half is evaporating faster. The two parts of the medicinal liquid showed signs of separation.
They cannot be separated. Song Shuhang's heart moved, and he immediately increased the firepower of the induction cooker, trying to make the cooled part boil again.
As the temperature increases, the evaporation rate of the liquid medicine becomes faster. In less than a minute, less than one third of the original half-pot of medicinal soup was left.
At most ten breaths will evaporate.
"It's a complete failure." Song Shuhang laughed. After all, he was mentally prepared, so he didn't care about failure.
He reached out and turned off the induction cooker. If it goes on like this, the pot will burn.
It was just that his fingers stretched halfway, and then he stopped - he saw that although the liquid in the pot evaporated faster, it was no longer polarized and re-fused.
The ghosts made a mess, Song Shuhang did not choose to turn off the firepower, but instead increased the firepower to the maximum!
Make a single bet, add fire to the fire, fuse all the medicinal liquid in one breath, and purify all the medicinal properties of the forty-five medicinal materials! In this way, maybe he can still get some scum before the medicinal liquid evaporates completely
The electric touch furnace is turned on to the maximum and makes an abnormal noise.
In the hot pot pot, ice and fire are intertwined in the small hot pot pot, forming a beautiful shape. The two medicinal liquids tumbled, shaking the hot pot pot.
In the end, Shuhang could no longer see the changes in the pot.
After the liquid medicine evaporated, a thick layer of impurities was pasted on the tempered glass lid.
Tick, tick... It's the sound of the medicinal materials rolling. Each tumbling sound is exactly one second.
Song Shuhang held the phone again and stared at the time.
Unable to see the situation in the pot, he could only deduct the time again, intending to turn off the induction cooker in five minutes.
Three minutes and twenty-three seconds.
boom…
At this time, a high pressure suddenly surged up in the hot pot, and the lid of the pot was lifted off.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of black smoke sprayed out, covering the entire small kitchen, and the pungent smell came out.
The smell was so overwhelming, it was like a fusion of all the unpleasant smells in the world. Just smelling it accidentally gives me the urge to vomit.
"Ouch..." Song Shuhang pinched his nose and hurriedly turned off the induction cooker.
"It smells so bad." Even though he was holding his nose while holding his breath, the strange smell still penetrated into Shuhang's nose and lingered.
He ran to the window and opened it, and if there was no ventilation, he would have to wait for his roommate to come and collect his body—the cause of death must have been the stench.
As soon as the window was opened, black mist wafted out of the window, and the stench in the kitchen gradually dissipated.
"This taste cannot be described in words at all. And it has an endless aftertaste." Shuhang sighed, and it is estimated that he will not be able to forget this taste for two or three days. I don't know if I can eat next time.
"The smell of this thing is so terrifying that it can be used as a biochemical weapon. If this smell can be collected, I will release a room in his room if I see it in the future, to ensure that the aftertaste will be endless." Shuhang Self-deprecating.
On the ground, the lid of the hot pot was still spinning, but fortunately, this thing was made of tempered glass, so there was no sacrifice. Otherwise, you have to spend money to compensate the school.
After picking up the cover, Shuhang felt his head dizzy. A sense of exhaustion hit him like a mountain, this is the fatigue accumulated for nearly four hours!
He hurriedly held the table and sat down slowly.
After a short rest, he pinched his nose and looked at the bottom of the pot, wanting to see what the final medicinal liquid of his failure looked like, so that it could emit such a stench
In the hot pot, there was only a thin layer of medicinal liquid left in the original half pot.
The color is black, transparent, with a pungent pungent taste.
"It's dark, it's a bit like transparent sesame paste. It's just too stinky." Song Shuhang complained.
"Huh? This... how could it be?" He suddenly remembered something, and quickly took out the notepad that recorded the medicinal herbs of the pharmacist.
The liquid medicine becomes a paste, the color is black, transparent, and the taste is red. This is the state that the pharmacist described the simplified version of the body quenching liquid.
It seems... It's very similar to this thing you made by yourself
