Two Hundred and Fourteenth Refining Medicine

Zhou Xing thought hard, and finally attributed the reasons to three points in pain: first, his cultivation base is not high enough; second, he does not have a deep understanding of exercises and is not familiar with their use.

Zhou Xing sighed, and returned to the hall with golden eyes and mud. After closing the palace door, he took a few deep breaths, stared with bated breath, took out the Iron Heart Cauldron from the spirit ring, and watched the cauldron for the third time.

After that, almost every hour, there was such a shout in the hall: "Deal! Decide! Decide!...Determine for me! Ah, it still doesn't work! It's still fake! Fake exercises, deceiving people, I want Change the exercises! I want to re-elect!...Definitely! Definitely! Decide for me! Why are you still undecided? Fake, it’s fake exercises! I’ve been fooled!..."

A few days later, Zhou Xing's mouth was dry from shouting, and he was physically and mentally exhausted, but he was still pointing at his golden eyes and shouting "Ding" in a hoarse voice. The latter seemed to deliberately not cooperate with him, and kept moving around without stopping for a moment.

Zhou Xing had no choice but to close his eyes again, but he had clearly seen Tie Xin Ding.

Zhou Xing heaved a sigh of relief and finally finished viewing the tripod. This step took far longer than he expected.

Then, he took out a cloth bag from the apse, which was significantly larger than the one containing the mud and golden-eyed food, and it was heavy.

A strange medicinal fragrance filled the hall.

Mu Mu suddenly raised his head, and his golden eyes looked at him.

"Don't, don't, don't, this is not for you to eat, this is for me to refine medicine, please don't make trouble, if you make trouble, I will go crazy." Zhou Xing said nervously.

Hearing this, Jinjing meowed a few times, then lay down on the ground again, and the mud made a rare cry, but the sound was not very pleasant.

Seeing that the two of them did not move extra, Zhou Xing let go of his hanging heart, and poured out all the medicinal materials in the bag, and the medicinal fragrance in the hall became more intense.

Although they are all low-grade medicinal materials, Zhou Xing is still very excited. This will be the first step he needs to take to become a pharmacist.

Now his main spiritual veins are complete, and with the first-level cultivation of the first glimpse, he has been able to refine five kinds of elixirs, namely Zhanyi Dan, Lianxi Pill, Shenxing Pill, Buqi Pill and Zhenwu Pill. Among them, Zhenwu Dan is the most difficult to refine, and Zhanyi Dan is the best.

Zhou Xing didn't think he was a genius in refining medicine, he was even ready to refine all the medicinal materials in front of him into waste residue. Therefore, he had to first refine the War Intent Pill, which only needed one kind of medicinal material.

The prescriptions, refining methods and precautions of these low-level pills are all recorded in detail in "Essence of Pills", and Zhou Xing has already memorized them fluently.

even so,

Zhou Xing still didn't rush to do it, but closed his eyes and meditated, adjusted his body and mind to the best state, and waited for the best time to refine medicine.

Finally, it was two o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhou Xing opened his eyes suddenly, and slapped the ground. The Unyielding Root closest to him jumped up and floated in front of him.

Zhou Xing suppressed the excitement in his heart, pinched the magic formula with his hands, released the spiritual energy, and pulled the medicinal materials into the iron heart cauldron.

Once starting to refine the medicine, from the beginning to the end, the pharmacist must not touch the medicinal materials with his hands, no matter how small the movement is, he must use spiritual energy to complete it, and it took him three full days of practice to master the point of using spiritual energy to pull foreign objects.

Zhou Xing really didn't have much confidence in his talent for refining medicine, so he had to think through every step before taking it, and did it carefully, not at all as smooth and freehand as Shao Mingjiu was when refining medicine.

Having truly experienced the difficulty of refining medicine, Zhou Xing respected Shao Mingjiu even more.

Even so, Zhou Xing didn't have the intention of shrinking back in fear of difficulties, but a little bit of joy. Because he knows that he never gives up on what has been decided.

"Fire!"

Zhou Xing stopped drinking, and two clusters of gray-white spiritual energy flew out from his fingertips, one cluster flew into the bottom of the cauldron, and the other cluster flew into the cauldron to wrap Unyielding Root tightly. In the blink of an eye, the two groups of spiritual energy turned into raging fire.

Unyielding root is the toughest among low-grade medicinal materials, and it has extremely high requirements on the temperature of the aura fire. Zhou Xing concentrated all his attention and continuously poured spiritual energy into the cauldron. Soon his forehead was covered with sweat, but he didn't even burn the skin of his unyielding roots, but it was a little burnt.

Zhou Xing looked at the gap and took a breath of fresh air, and the hand pinching technique changed. This time, he decided to give it a go, and at the same time mobilized all the spiritual energy in the five spiritual veins, and the fire inside and outside the iron heart cauldron became more intense.

In order to maintain the current firepower and continuously increase the firepower, it requires the alchemist to output spiritual energy non-stop, and the requirements for the control of the spiritual energy and the amount of spiritual energy are extremely high. This alone is a difficult test. No wonder the master said: Refining medicine is more difficult than practicing.

Because Zhou Xing was born with acquired spiritual energy, the temperature of the flame rose very slowly. If this trend continues, even if he squeezes out all the spiritual energy in his body, he will not be able to refine Unyielding Root into the War Intent Pill.

Zhou Xing has never been a rigid person. As soon as he figured this out, he immediately thought about how to break the situation to resolve the current embarrassing situation.

He thought about taking a middle-grade spiritual energy pill, and the huge amount of spiritual energy contained in it should be enough to support him to refine the pill, but he immediately rejected the idea of ​​losing money.

He also thought about adding supplementary materials to accelerate the flame burning, but he quickly denied it, because his experience in refining medicine was too poor, and adding new raw materials rashly would add new variables, which would only increase the difficulty of refining, and hold What is the difference between salaries and firefighting? What's more, he didn't know what auxiliary materials could accelerate the flame burning.

After thinking about it, Zhou Xing decided to find another way, adding a little real energy to the spiritual energy, maybe he could get unexpected miraculous effects.

As soon as he said it, Zhou Xing brought up the real dragon energy and slowly mixed it into the spiritual energy. With this step, the spiritual energy became very unstable as if it had encountered a formidable enemy.

When Zhou Xing saw that there was a door, he was secretly happy, and hurriedly injected a little spiritual energy mixed with real energy into the cauldron, and the flames immediately went berserk.

Zhou Xing was overjoyed.

But before he could do anything, he heard a bang, and the Unyielding Root suddenly exploded, turning into a pile of medicine dregs.

Zhou Xing was dumbfounded.

Although the uncurved root is relatively common in the back yam forest and its grade is not high, compared to other medicinal materials, if it is sold in the pharmacy at the foot of the mountain, it will be worth at least a thousand taels of silver.

After a short while, the thousand taels of silver turned to ashes, even though Zhou Xing was born in a wealthy family, he also felt pain in his heart.

He felt that he could no longer refine medicine rashly like this, otherwise it would be a waste of money.

However, Zhou Xing had an unexpected discovery after the Unyielding Roots exploded into ashes, that is, the destructive power of the spiritual energy would suddenly increase when true energy was mixed with the spiritual energy.

It's just that this kind of destructive power is extremely difficult to control. Once an accident occurs, the fierce true energy and the agile spiritual energy are strongly incompatible...Zhou Xing dare not imagine that scene.

For the next ten days or so, Zhou Xing stayed behind closed doors, forgetting to eat and sleep to conduct the fusion experiment of the two gases outside the room. Even though he proceeded cautiously, he was still seriously injured.

Zhou Xing knew very well that he had no way out, if he could not learn how to refine medicine, the road ahead would be extremely difficult.
