The best elixir, the alchemy furnace of the second grade, refines the "Qi Gathering Pill" of the first grade and upper grade, which is enough to refine 100 pills. Lin Luoran finally received 35 pills.
It seems that there is only a 35% pill yield rate, but it is enough to make Lin Luoran happy.
This is her first alchemy. The Qi Gathering Pill can keep the spiritual energy in the body. It is most suitable for Papa Lin and Baojia, who are not even full of Qi training in the early stage. They can often absorb the spiritual energy, but they can't retain the spiritual energy. . Of course, for today's irritable aura cultivation environment, the peaceful and pure aura contained in the pill itself is the most precious thing.
One pill has limited aura, but what about a hundred pills
It would take Lin Luoran two days to refine such a pill. In this way, when exchanging, what should be the base? Because she used the thousand-year-old Shouwu, the efficacy of the medicine was beyond Lin Luoran's expectation. Although she had never seen the "Qi Gathering Pill" before, she guessed that it was twice as effective.
This is the reason why Lin Luoran is still very satisfied even though the pill yield rate is not high. After all, this is her first alchemy, so there is still a long way to go, isn't it
It's just that there is only one Qi Gathering Pill, so there are too few varieties... Lin Luoran set his sights on another kind of Pill. That is the "Xiao Huan Pill" of the second rank, which is different from the Qi Gathering Pill. It focuses on the healing effect.
It is naturally useless to treat Old Guo's old injuries, but if it is used by a monk who has not yet established a foundation, it is not impossible to recover a life from the ghost gate. There are not many qi gathering pills that can be used for a long time, and the "Xiaohuan pill" should be selling well.
But there is a medicine in Xiao Huan Pill, which is not spirit grass, nor is it an ordinary Chinese herbal medicine, but toad venom, but Lin Luoran needs to collect it himself.
The Dan Fang recorded "Bitter Liquid", and Lin Luoran checked the information and found out that it was referring to Toad Su. Bitterly, it turned out to be another name for toad. This is summer, the most indispensable thing in the Qingcheng Mountains should be frogs like toads, right
At night, Lin Luoran quietly carried a small basket on her back, brought a glass bottle, and changed into long clothes and trousers. Papa Lin was dressed almost in the same way, waiting for her at the gate of the villa.
"I guess you girl is going to go secretly. Why, do you despise your father's old bones?"
The face of Lin Luoran was slightly red, and the young father, in Lin Luoran's memory, was always the appearance of him and Lin's mother, who were tired and gray at the temples for their own study. She was incompetent at that time, but now she naturally hopes that her parents can spend their days leisurely every day... However, seeing Father Lin's reproachful eyes, Lin Luoran couldn't help but reflect on whether she had gone too far.
In the past, Father Lin often collected herbs for his livelihood, and he was no stranger to Toad Su, so why not go with his father, even if the speed was slower, but it gave Father Lin a sense of accomplishment that "I am useful", wouldn't it be more good
Bathed in the starlight, the father and daughter entered the back mountain with a basket on their backs.
The moonlight was good tonight, and Lin Luoran could clearly distinguish objects on the mountain path, but Father Lin thoughtfully brought a hatchet and a flashlight. Seeing Father Lin chopping weeds and dead branches with a hatchet to open the way, he seemed to have forgotten that his daughter is now a capable monk, but a child who needs his protection—she used to follow Father Lin up the mountain like this when she was a child on summer vacation , So Lin Luoran didn't say to use spells or anything like that, didn't show off his skills, but followed Papa Lin docilely, and turned back to that little girl who needed her father's protection that night.
"Girl, look!" Papa Lin suddenly stopped, pointing to the underside of a pine tree and said.
Under the illumination of the flashlight, some umbrella-shaped mushrooms grew sporadically on the ground covered with thick pine needles, brown with a hint of red, half-opened—"It's a pine tree umbrella!"
Even the current Lin Luoran couldn't help but whisper. The pine umbrella is a kind of wild fungus that grows in the pine forest. It tastes very delicious. The Li family village is backed by mountains. Lin Luoran knows many wild mushrooms, but this kind of pine umbrella has never been picked at home since she can remember. I have been here two or three times, and it is more delicious because of its rarity. Lin Luoran has a deep impression of it. After I went to college, I went to check the information and found out that the scientific name of this thing is "blood-red rivet mushroom". It was originally one of the specialties of Changbai Mountain. No wonder. It is rare in Sichuan.
"Father still has a good eye!" Lin Luoran was happy to pick mushrooms, and at the same time flattered him a little, so that although Dad Lin would not shake his head, he was obviously very proud of his expression!
There were only a few piles, and they were packed in the back basket and just filled the bottom, Lin Luoran searched the pine forest again unwillingly, but did not find the pine tree umbrella, but found some "horse ears" similar to black fungus, anyway. Everything that could be eaten was looted!
Father Lin looked at his bright-eyed daughter and shook his head helplessly. Ever since Lin Luoran was young, he loved to follow him into the mountains. He always felt that his daughter, who usually doesn't like to talk, once she gets to the mountains, it's fun to watch everything. I am enjoying myself, I really have some talent for looking for food and medicinal materials... Is looking for food considered a talent? Father Lin hesitated for a while, and decisively added this "advantage" to his daughter.
The father and daughter walked and stopped like this, tossing until midnight, before they found a puddle, heard the constant sound of frogs, both Lin Luoran and Dad Lin laughed—it must be here!
Catching toads is still a bit tricky, jumping into puddles is of course not enough. Night is the time for frogs and toads to eat. They usually hide in the aquatic plants on the bank to catch insects and eat them. At this time, you just need to walk along the small pond. When you hear the sound of frogs, use a flashlight to shine a sudden—
Most of the frogs will suddenly become stupid, lying motionless in the grass, and just grab it and throw it into the bag. Lin Luoran couldn't tell the difference between the calls of toads and frogs since he was a child, but Dad Lin was an expert, and the sounds were obviously similar. Wherever his flashlight shone, the person lying on his stomach was probably a toad.
Papa Lin was in charge of catching toads, and Papa Lin assigned Lin Luoran to fetch the toad liquid. As for toads? That is a Chinese patent medicine processed from toad liquid.
Lin Luoran has been doing this kind of work since he was a child, but compared to when he was a child, he is still a monk in the foundation period now, isn't he? For things like washing toads, I finally don't have to catch the slimy and ugly toads myself. A water-based spell can quickly clean a basket of toads.
Put your thumb on the toad's neck, grasp its body with the rest of your fingers, and then use a copper tweezer to clamp the gland behind the ear, and soon there will be white juice overflowing. Lin Luoran feels that the pre-prepared The glass bottle catches the white paste.
You don't have to kill the toad liquid to get it. Lin Luoran put all the taken toads in a basket, ready to be released together at the end. In this way, she and Dad Lin caught the toads together, and the other took the liquid. In less than an hour, there were a lot of toad liquid in the glass bottle, but Dad Lin caught hundreds of toads to make up the amount.
"Dad, that's enough!"
The toads in the nearby pond were almost caught. Seeing Papa Lin's figure walking away in the night, Lin Luoran hurriedly called him back.
Father Lin flicked the light of the flashlight, and Lin Luoran waved again and again: "That's enough, let's go back!" Father Lin touched it, Lin Luoran saw that his pants were almost wet, and said angrily: " If you knew I was going to catch it, why did you go into the water?"
Father Lin waved his hands: "What is this? Now your father is very skilled, what is it to catch two toads!" Lin Luoran pursed her lips and smiled, and released the toads that had taken the toad liquid. Dad left after drying his pants.
When the two returned to Lin's villa, the sky was already slightly bright.
Don't tell anyone else, at least Mama Lin has already woken up, opened the door and saw the dewy father and daughter standing at the door, rubbing their eyes: "Where did you two go so early?"
Father Lin raised his right hand and waved it in front of Mama Lin's eyes. They were two fat hares, which he caught on the way back. Who doesn't love game? Lin Ma's eyebrows were upside down: "Okay, father and daughter went into the mountain quietly, right?"
Father Lin scratched his head, Lin Luoran slipped through the door early, and left the nagging Mother Lin to the honest Father Lin to deal with—for so many years, two people with different personalities naturally have their own way of getting along. Daughter, why bother to be a light bulb
Not to mention that the Lin family had delicious rabbit meat and wild mushrooms for lunch, and even Wang Miao'e and his wife came to have dinner again. Because Lin Luoran is a cultivator, he used toad liquid to extract toad venom very quickly.
By the next night, she was ready to refine the medicinal materials for "Xiao Huan Dan".
Mama Lin only allowed her to enter the basement which was used as a temporary alchemy room after feeding her daughter well.
This refining took another two days and two nights.
Lin Luoran looked at the 20 "Xiao Huan Pills" lying in the jade box, and was so tired that he wanted to give up. In the end, his childish temper broke out, and he hated to think: the price of these pills should be set higher to be worthy of it. Her hard work!
