The next morning, Qin Ran woke up from his sleep and sat up suddenly in bed. He was confused for a while before he remembered why he had to get up early.
It seemed like he had accepted a disciple, and today he was going to teach her how to practice.
Before going to bed last night, he reminded himself to lead by example and to... wake up early.
“Ah!!!” Realizing this, Qin Ran couldn’t help but cover his face and wail. What sin had he committed? ! !
"Mom, I don't want to go to school..."
"Wake up, you are a teacher!!"
Finally got up.
Qin Ran put on a white singlet, opened the bedroom door, and walked to the corridor. The cool and moist wind blew from the forest in the early morning, carrying the fragrance of grass and soil, which instantly sobered him up.
He looked up at the vast sky. There were only a few clouds floating slowly. There was a golden light behind the forest. It was the sun rising.
It's another sunny day!
Kieran stretched.
Turning around, he glanced at the bedroom door next to him, hesitated for a moment, and still didn't go over and knock on the door.
"Let her sleep a little longer." He shook his head and sighed.
It must not be easy for him to come here to practice at such a young age and thousands of miles away from home. It is quite pitiful. It makes him think that he has inexplicably traveled to this world.
Qin Ran walked downstairs slowly and went straight into the kitchen. He poured a glass of pure white milk from a cup, took a bag of candy beans from the refrigerator, and sat at the dining table.
Making some things that are the same as those on Earth is the only comfort for him as a traveler from another world.
He made the refrigerator using a formation. The principle of using a formation to realize a refrigerator is relatively simple, and its appearance is similar to that of a refrigerator on Earth.
Sugar beans are a breakfast he made using the alchemy techniques of Bigu Pills. He changed the raw materials of Bigu Pills and added some of his favorite flavors. It is nutritious, healthy and delicious.
The milk was bought at the market. It was also cow's milk, but not from ordinary cows. It was milk from a kind of cow called the triangular red cow.
There is no special milk supplier in this world, but you can buy milk from various monsters in the immortal cultivators' market. Some of these milks have been tried by predecessors and are not only delicious, but also beneficial to cultivation, such as the milk of the triangular red bull; some are newly obtained by the cultivators, no one has ever drunk them, and no one even knows whether they can be drunk.
After taking a sip of milk, Qin Ran took a book from the shelf next to him. The book was about rare and exotic animals, which was just right for eating with rice. He read it while tossing candy beans into his mouth, looking quite relaxed.
While he was eating, the door to the living room outside was suddenly pushed open. He looked over and saw Li Shiyin, wearing a bright yellow collared gown, walking in.
Li Shiyin looked through the living room, saw Qin Ran in the kitchen, and walked over.
"You..." You were sleeping, weren't you? Qin Ran hesitated, "Where have you been?"
"I walked around outside and looked around." Li Shiyin replied.
“Oh!” As expected, he was the lazy one. Qin Ran nodded without changing his expression and said, “It’s still early.”
"I'm used to it. It's like this at home.
Like this." Li Shiyin said.
"Is that all? What does your family do?" Qin Ran stood up, took a cup, poured half a cup of milk for Li Shiyin, and said, "Sit down and have some breakfast."
"Breakfast?" Li Shiyin asked. This master sometimes spoke strangely. Although she could understand him, his choice of words and sentences was a bit awkward.
"Breakfast, lunch and meal, almost the same." Qin Ran said casually, putting the cup on the table in front of Li Shiyin. "The milk of the three-cornered red bull is good for the body, but you can't drink too much."
Li Shiyin sat down and said, "My father is a general of the Northern Chu State. He has been very strict with us since we were young."
Northern Chu? Not far from Daojianmen... From a geographical point of view, it can be said that Daojianmen is within the territory of Northern Chu, but Northern Chu and Daojianmen do not have a substantive superior-subordinate relationship.
And Qin Ran, who traveled through time, can be considered half Northern Chu.
"A family of generals?" Qin Ran asked with a smile.
No wonder, this girl was able to climb the mountain with him for a whole day yesterday and get up so early today. He thought that ordinary people in this world also had such good physical fitness!
He pushed the breakfast candy beans to Li Shiyin and said, "This is made using the same technique as refining Bigu Pills. It's my personal taste. I'll teach you how to make it later, and you can refine it to your own taste."
There were so many strange things that Li Shiyin felt that she was almost used to them. She poured two candy beans into her mouth, and the candy beans melted in her mouth, sweet and slid into her esophagus like a warm stream.
She glanced at Qin Ran and found out that her master liked sweets.
The two chatted in the kitchen for a while. After breakfast, Qin Ran took Li Shiyin to the other side of the stream and came to the brick and stone building.
Qin Ran opened the door and said to Li Shiyin, "Generally, meditation and alchemy are done here. Alchemy is alchemy, and life is life. We still have to separate them."
"?" Li Shiyin was confused, not really understanding Qin Ran's train of thought. Isn't the whole purpose of a cultivator to cultivate? Isn't the whole purpose of an alchemist to make pills? But she didn't dare to ask.
"The first floor is where we make the elixir. There is an elixir furnace, earth core fire, mysterious condensed water, a centrifuge... Oh, it's the centrifugal formation." The two walked into the corridor, and Qin Ran briefly introduced Li Shiyin to each room one by one. "The first floor is basically where we make the elixir.
"Then the second floor is where the medicinal materials are stored, and the third floor is where the elixirs are stored..."
As he spoke, he took Li Shiyin to the second floor and pushed open a room. The layout of the room was the same as that of a Chinese medicine shop, with rows of brown drawers filled with medicinal materials.
"What's the first step in refining the elixir? It's to know the medicinal materials..." There was a table and chair in the middle of the room. Qin Ran asked Li Shiyin to sit down, and he opened a drawer and took out a large bag of herbs from a small drawer. "This is the main material for refining Huiyuan Pill, Guyuan Grass."
Li Shiyin sat there, watching her master take out herbs from a small drawer, knowing that there must be some kind of Qiankun formation set up there.
As Qin Ran spoke, he took out a dozen medicinal herbs of various shapes from other drawers and introduced them to Li Shiyin one by one, making Li Shiyin's head buzz.
"These are all the ingredients for refining Huiyuan Pill. Huiyuan Pill is a very basic pill, usually
A cultivator uses this to quickly restore mana. If you run out of mana during a battle, you can use Hui Yuan Dan to replenish it."
Qin Ran took out a portion of each medicinal herb and placed it on the table in front of Li Shiyin. He then took out a book from the purse-like bag hanging around his waist and handed it to Li Shiyin.
"Your task today is to record the original appearance of these medicinal materials. What do they look like, how are they collected, how are they processed, what are the finished medicinal materials like, what are their medicinal effects, how much to use when refining the pill, how to process them when refining the pill..."
As he spoke, he suddenly saw Li Shiyin's confused look and stopped. Finally, he said, "Forget it. Just remember the appearance and efficacy, the original appearance of the medicinal material and the appearance after processing."
Looking at the herbs in front of her and listening to the master's mumbling, Li Shiyin was already confused. She finally found a little bit of the master's flavor in the master, not just a little bit, but a flavor that was more terrifying than the old master in the family school. She just nodded in confusion.
“That’s it…” Qin Ran finished his instructions and walked out with his bags. “I’ll go downstairs to make the elixir and come back to test you around noon.”
Li Shiyin looked at Qin Ran's back as he walked out the door, and slowly came back to her senses. She held the book in her hands, turned her head reluctantly, and opened the first page of the book. There were pictures and words on the page. The pictures were colorful and very realistic, and the words were... densely packed and very detailed.
She glanced...
"Ah..." He yawned loudly and muttered to himself, "Did I get up too early today? I feel a little sleepy..."
Although Danfeng has declined and is almost dead in name only, it is still Danfeng after all, and it still has to do what it should do.
So, what should Danfeng do? Of course, it is to make pills! Provide basic pill supplies for Daojianmen.
Of course, to provide all the elixir supplies for the entire sect would literally kill Kieran, but providing some basic, necessary supplies within his capabilities would still be possible.
For example, the urgently needed elixirs that he can refine include the Bigu Pill, Huiyuan Pill, and Foundation Building Pill.
What Qin Ran was going to refine today was the Hui Yuan Dan.
Huiyuan Pill, a basic pill that can quickly restore mana, is needed by all cultivators from low-level to top-level cultivators. Well, low-level cultivators need low-quality Huiyuan Pills, and high-level cultivators need high-quality Huiyuan Pills.
So what about Qin Ran’s alchemy skills? It’s not good, nor is it bad. How can I put it? I can only say that it is different from others.
Because he has a bit of scientific research spirit, he cannot be compared with other alchemists in the immortal world.
The most obvious feature is that he can refine pills much faster than the average alchemist, because once he has mastered the recipe of this kind of pill, his refining method will be different.
In just one morning, other alchemists could only start one furnace at most, and that might not necessarily succeed. Even if they did, they could only produce seven or eight pills. But Qin Ran could start two or three furnaces, and each one would succeed, with at least ten pills in one furnace.
Having completed today's task with ease, Qin Ran went upstairs with three or four porcelain bottles, humming a little tune, and prepared to check on Li Shiyin's medicinal materials.
Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he saw that Li Shiyin's saliva was almost flooding the table...
