After a few days of recuperation. Xiaoqing's abdominal injury has largely healed.
After Xia Yan entered the courtyard, he briefly said a few words to Xiaoqing, and then plunged into the kitchen. Seeing that Xia Yan was holding a dark purple brocade box in his hand, Xiao Qing didn't ask any further questions.
"Grandfather Holy Emperor..."
"Grandpa Holy Emperor, come out quickly, I have all the medicinal materials ready!"
Xia Yan entered the kitchen, closed the door, and took out all the twenty-three kinds of medicinal materials and arranged them neatly. Several of these high-grade medicinal materials are priceless. However, these medicinal materials will soon be used.
Although he has tried his best to control the excitement in his heart, Xia Yan's eyes are still shining with excitement.
"Grandfather Holy Emperor..."
After getting ready, Xia Yan kept shouting in his heart, he knew that the old man Shenghuang could hear him.
"What are you shouting for!" Under Xia Yan's continuous yelling, the old man Shenghuang gradually showed his figure, "What's the rush, isn't it just a potion that can increase the size of Juling Point? You still have a long way to go! Now, just start!"
As soon as he appeared, the old man Shenghuang began to teach Xia Yan a lesson. In this case, the old man Shenghuang didn't say it once or twice.
Xia Yan chuckled. "Grandpa Holy Emperor, please teach me how to prepare this potion, all the medicinal ingredients are ready!"
Glancing over the twenty-three neatly arranged medicinal materials, Xia Yan was not less distressed in order to gather all these medicinal materials. Especially the last high-grade medicinal material, Xuelingcao, is hard-won.
"En!" The old man of the Holy Emperor nodded, checked all kinds of medicinal materials with his eyes, and finally said slowly: "Preparing this kind of potion is not easy compared to refining alchemy. You have to prepare it first. I guess the preparation The process of potion takes about ten hours."
Xia Yan was startled, "What? Ten hours?!"
Although I have already made some preparations, I couldn't help being shocked when I heard the old man Shenghuang said that it would take ten hours.
It took only two hours to prepare the spirit liquid last time. This time, it took ten hours.
"That's right, do you think it's easy to prepare potions?!" The old man's beard fluttered, "I can tell you, if you can't concentrate, and if you make a mistake, the efficacy of the potion may be greatly reduced, or even It simply doesn't work."
"At that time, all previous efforts have been wasted, don't blame me!" The old man Shenghuang was a little alarmist.
"Ten hours..."
Xia Yan frowned, muttered and repeated.
In other words, from now on, it will probably take until noon tomorrow to successfully prepare it.
during this period. There must be absolutely no mistakes. Once the slightest mistake occurs, it is very likely that all previous efforts will be wasted. These medicinal materials are hard-won. It may take another half a month, or even longer, to find these herbs again.
"Then I'll talk to Xiaoqing!" Xia Yan said, then yanked open the door and stepped out quickly.
Xiaoqing was lost in thought under the purple paulownia tree in the courtyard, when she heard the sound behind her, she turned her eyes to look over. Seeing Xia Yan come out, joy appeared on his face, and he stood up quickly.
"Xiaoqing, I'm going to practice soon, and it may not end until noon tomorrow. The kitchen is temporarily unusable. If you are hungry, go to Fangshi. By the way, don't let anyone disturb you Me. If anyone is looking for me, just say that I will leave the customs at noon tomorrow!" Xia Yan told Xiaoqing.
Seeing Xia Yan's seriousness, Xiao Qing quickly nodded, "I see. Brother Xia Yan, I have some snacks in my room. If I'm hungry, I can just have some snacks."
"Well, take care of your health! Then I will go to practice, and when I come out, I will take you to Fangshi restaurant for dinner!" Xia Yan smiled and said to Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing patted her fair little hand, jumped lightly, and said joyfully, "Okay, Brother Xia Yan!"
After exhorting Xiaoqing, Xia Yan felt relieved and went back to the kitchen again.
"Grandpa Shenghuang, I'm ready, let's start!" Xia Yan said firmly with his eyes fixed.
"Okay!" The old man of the Holy Emperor also became serious, and his eyes fell on all the medicinal materials, "First crush the ephedra vine, and then burn it to ashes. Be careful, it must be completely crushed into powder before burning!"
Ephedra vine, a dark green medicinal material, usually grows on cliffs and cliffs. It is a medium-level medicinal material, which is relatively common, and the price is not very high.
According to what the old man Shenghuang said, Xia Yan began to operate step by step.
Time is slowly passing by.
Xia Yan didn't feel it, the kitchen had gradually become dark. After lighting the candle, Xia Yan didn't pause. Started to work nervously again.
Twenty-three kinds of medicinal materials, each of which must be handled carefully.
For a hundred-year-old four-leaf lotus, one of the plant meridians needs to be completely extracted, and it cannot be broken or incomplete.
It can be said that this is definitely a meticulous job that requires a lot of patience, and it is impossible for ordinary people to do it.
But Xia Yan proceeded in an orderly manner.
Although the season has entered autumn and the air is warm and cool, the fine beads of sweat on Xia Yan's forehead have never disappeared.
"Centenary Phalaenopsis, twisted into strips, then crushed to squeeze out the juice..."
Xia Yan, meticulously follow what the old man said.
Sometimes, there is a gleam in the eyes, and sometimes, there is a look of doubt. Xia Yan didn't know the meaning of some steps at all, but he clearly wrote them down in his heart.
The old man Shenghuang looked at the busy Xia Yan, and nodded from time to time, showing a feeling of relief. The old man Shenghuang was obviously very satisfied with Xia Yan.
There are absolutely not many people who can fully devote themselves to dispensing medicine like Xia Yan! And Xia Yan. And very careful, so far, there have been no mistakes.
In this case, in the future, Xia Yan will be able to become an alchemist as well, and the hope of being promoted is very high!
You must know that the level of an alchemist is not easy to promote. Even a strong spirit sect may still remain at the level of a junior alchemist. It is not so easy to refine high-grade pills.
Alchemist is a profession that requires a lot of patience.
Of course, the alchemist's ability to control spiritual power. Ordinary healers with absolutely the same strength are much stronger.
"Kuma Jicao, knead into a small ball, put it in a small cup of white wine and soak for an hour..." Xia Yan looked at Kumajicao.
Now, Xia Yan has already processed the nineteenth medicinal material.
There are also four kinds of medicinal materials, no hands-on operation. These four kinds of medicinal materials are all high-grade medicinal materials, and among them is the very rare red blood grass.
…
The sun shines into the kitchen from the window and pours on Xia Yan.
Xia Yan slightly blocked it with his hand, and half-closed his eyes. After a night of work, Xia Yan didn't feel tired, but was dazzled by the sun, and felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
However, this was only a moment, and Xia Yan once again put all his attention on the remaining few medicinal materials.
"Haha, only the last medicinal material, Xuelingcao, is left!"
Xia Yan laughed excitedly in his heart.
After the blood grass is finished, the final preparation work can be carried out, and it is not far from the completion of the work.
Suppressing his excitement, Xia Yan focused his eyes on the scarlet blood grass! For this blood ling grass, Xia Yan postponed the preparation of this potion for a whole week.
"Xue Lingcao, the last medicinal material that needs to be treated, is also the most cautious medicinal material. Xia Yan, first put the Xue Lingcao in a clean jade plate." The old man of the Holy Emperor said slowly in a deep voice. with.
Xia Yan has been busy for nearly nine hours, and he has been talking non-stop for nearly nine hours.
"good!"
Xia Yan found a white jade plate from the cupboard, and gently put the Xuelingcao on it.
"Use a wooden mallet to gently tap the blood grass. Be careful not to break the skin of the blood grass, let alone let the red juice flow out." The old man of the Holy Emperor said in a heavy tone.
Picking up the mallet, Xia Yan stared at Xue Lingcao with all his attention, and tried his best to control the subtlety and precision to the limit with the strength on his fingers.
"Ding dong..."
"Ding dong... ding dong..."
Slowly, Xia Yan began to speed up the movements of his hands. However, the strength of each knock is always slight. What's more, every time you tap, the force is almost exactly the same!
After about a stick of incense, the entire appearance of Xuelingcao gradually turned pink, no longer the crimson red like blood before!
"It's now, Xia Yan, hurry up, release the juice of the blood grass and put it together with the juice of the horse's hoof and big ear tongue!" Suddenly, the old man Shenghuang stared sharply and said hurriedly.
Almost like a conditioned reflex, Xia Yan quickly crushed the blood ling grass, and then mixed the juice into the juice of the horseshoe and big ear tongue.
"Sizzling..."
A puff of blue smoke rose from the solution, and the strong smell of the medicine immediately permeated. Xia Yan sniffed his nose and almost couldn't help sneezing, but he held back forcibly, watching the changes in the juice in the utensil in surprise. The fusion of these two juices turned into sky blue.
"put into a… "
At this time, the old man Shenghuang began to let Xia Yan follow the steps to put in the previously processed juice or powder or ashes and other medicinal materials.
When the last medicinal material was put in, the old man Shenghuang let out a long sigh of relief, and Xia Yan followed suit with a long sigh of relief.
"Now, put the utensils on the simmering fire and simmer slowly! After about an hour, you're done!" The old man of the Holy Emperor nodded and said, his eyes sparkling.
Apparently, he also had a lot of trouble.
Only then did Xia Yan wipe the sweat off his forehead, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled happily. It actually took ten hours to prepare this potion. Xia Yan raised his eyes and looked outside through the window, the sun had already risen very high.
"Grandpa Shenghuang, is this over? After an hour, the medicine was successfully dispensed?!" Xia Yan couldn't help being excited.
"Yeah!" The old man Shenghuang nodded slowly, "It should be no problem! With this potion, hehe, Xia Yan, your Juling acupoint can quickly become larger in a short period of time. However, what kind of effect can it achieve? , It also depends on your own talent!"
Although potions can assist in cultivation, the aptitude conditions of the practitioners themselves determine the effectiveness of potions.
