Chapter 483: Start making alchemy

The next day, Zhang Xiaohua still practiced Beidou Shenquan as usual and did not feel any difference at all. However, when he finished practicing the boxing and was about to return to the alchemy room, he saw Valley Master Nie and Elder Zhang excitedly leaving the inner valley. He came and said something cheerfully as he walked.

Zhang Xiaohua touched her nose and looked at the sky blocked by the mountain wall. She was speechless. The sun seemed to have just risen from the east. It is still dark here. You don't have to be so impatient if you want to squeeze out labor! The chickens didn't even crow. Ahem, I forgot. There are no chickens in the inner valley of Huichun Valley, only the chirping of birds.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua standing in front of the alchemy room, Valley Master Nie walked a few steps closer, cupped his hands and said, "Nephew Ren, you got up so early."

Zhang Xiaohua returned the favor and said, "I can't help it. I'm so tired that I can't sleep at dawn. I keep thinking about what I have to do today."

Valley Master Nie chuckled and did not answer. Elder Zhang held up the jade box in his hand and said, "No matter how early the young hero got up today, it was not as early as me and Valley Master. It is recorded in the ancient books of Huichun Valley that medicinal herbs It is best to pick before the dew disappears, so the two of us got up before dawn..."

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and said: "You are actually so particular about it? Why didn't I know?"

"Have you just started for a few days? There are still many things you don't know." Elder Zhang struck mercilessly.

Valley Master Nie said: "This is a rule passed down from unknown ages in Huichun Valley. It is only passed down by word of mouth. There are no records. It is normal for a good nephew to not know it."

Zhang Xiaohua nodded, but there was something strange in her heart: "Yes, I have read a lot of elixir prescriptions and classics, but after all, there is no systematic study. Many things are pieced together here and there. Words like this I know nothing about the secrets and know-how taught by me, and these subtle things are often the key, the true knowledge gained through practice by predecessors.”

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua had some thoughts, Valley Master Nie asked keenly: "Nephew Ren, is there anything wrong with the way the herbs were picked?"

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and said with a smile, "I just secretly learned one of your Rejuvenation Valley tricks. What's wrong with it? Let me take a look at this herb."

It's not that Zhang Xiaohua doesn't believe in the technology of the Rejuvenation Valley, it's just that she doesn't do everything herself, which makes her feel very uneasy. Alas, at first glance, she doesn't look like a valley owner.

Elder Zhang understood and didn't say anything. He just handed over the jade box in his hand. Zhang Xiaohua took it and looked at it carefully. It was a jade box that was similar in size to his own, but it was white in color. At first glance, the texture of the jade was not as good as his own. His spiritual consciousness swept over,

There was no fluctuation of vitality on the jade box. Just as Zhang Xiaohua was about to open it, he heard Valley Master Nie say: "My dear nephew, let's go to the alchemy room and open it again. The herbs have been picked from the ground. If you open it now, it will affect the properties of the medicine." Bar."

Valley Master Nie is also an experienced expert in alchemy, but when it comes to elixirs like Jiang Yan Dan that have never been refined, he is still a little too cautious.

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Nie is very reasonable. It won't be too late to open it when we are refining it."

When the three of them arrived at the alchemy room, Zhang Xiaohua placed the jade box in his hand on the grooved table and asked, "Uncle Nie, how many jade boxes do we have in the Valley of Rejuvenation that store herbs like this?"

Valley Master Nie thought for a while and said: "There are many more, which are all refined with the help of the Artifact Refining Sect and the Artifact Casting Sect. However, these were all many years ago. In recent years, high-level elixirs like Jiangyan Pill have been refined. , the Valley of Rejuvenation has long ceased to be refined.”

Then, he hesitated a little and said: "If there is a need for high-level elixirs, we will bring it up when the disciples of the Incense Sect come back to Spring Valley, and provide them with the corresponding rare herbs and ask them to help refine them. Wait a moment. Bring it back when you come next time."

"Huh?" Zhang Xiaohua asked curiously: "Will the Chuanxiang Sect help to refine elixirs like Jiangyan Pill?"

Valley Master Nie smiled bitterly and said: "How is that possible? My nephew still overestimates the generosity of the Incense Cult. There are many kinds of high-end elixirs. How can they refine elixirs for us like Jiang Yan Dan, which can improve internal strength?" ? Just some other elixirs. Besides..." Valley Master Nie hesitated, and then said: "I think the Chuanxiang Sect also has alchemy techniques like those taught by Xian Nephew, and I don't see them teaching them to me in the Valley of Rejuvenation."

Elder Zhang also said angrily: "If they can help with the refining, we two bad old men won't have to work for the young master."

Zhang Xiaohua blushed a little, knowing that he was a little concerned about the request she made yesterday, so she handed over her hand and said: "The two elders treat me very well. I also studied in Huichun Valley..."

Seeing this, Elder Zhang waved his hand to stop Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Young Master Ren, stop talking. I just feel uncomfortable, but the rules of your sect cannot be violated, and we will never embarrass Young Master Ren. It's just that the refining process should be given to us for one more look, and the refining Crimson Flame Pill should also be left to us."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua laughed and said, "Elder Zhang is right. When the elixir is finished, I will only take three pills and leave the rest for the Valley of Rejuvenation. What will you do?"

Elder Zhang then said: "What if there are not enough three pills? Or not enough six pills?"

Zhang Xiaohua said without hesitation: "If there are not enough three pills, I won't take any. If there are not six pills, I will keep three pills of the Valley of Rejuvenation!"

Just as Valley Master Nie was about to speak, Elder Zhang said in a long voice: "Young Master Ren, it's settled!"

However, Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand and said: "Elder Zhang, don't worry, I also have a merciless request."

The elder Zhang asked curiously: "What else do you want to say? Didn't you say enough yesterday?"

Zhang Xiaohua touched her nose and said: "I carefully studied the prescription of Jiangyan Pill last night and found that refining Jiangyan Pill does not require the whole plant of Red Flame Grass and Jiangzhu Grass. Even the other ingredients are only half. Just one plant is enough. I have a request. That is to refine half of the herbs first. If successful, they will be distributed according to our discussion just now. Please leave the rest of the ordinary herbs to me, Valley Master Nie and Elder Zhang. You guys Is it good to watch?"

"This?" Elder Zhang was a little embarrassed. He looked at Valley Master Nie and didn't dare to make his own decision.

Valley Master Nie frowned and said, "What if the refining fails?"

Zhang Xiaohua pursed her lips and said, "Of course the remaining half of my nephew will accept it without shame."

Then he continued: "My nephew will try to refine the remaining half."

Elder Zhang laughed and said: "Young Master Ren made a good calculation and didn't suffer at all. You still have to practice your hands twice with the red flame grass from my Spring Valley?"

Zhang Xiaohua was not polite and said with a smile: "That's better than the Incense Cult, because they won't refine it for you at all."

While the two were talking, Valley Master Nie had finished thinking and nodded: "Dead things are not as good as living things. If my virtuous nephew can refine the elixir, what's the harm in me from the Valley of Rejuvenation giving away the remaining herbs? Moreover, virtuous nephew My nephew, don’t have any mental baggage, just try to refine it, even if it fails twice, it doesn’t matter.”

Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed and said: "Uncle Nie, don't worry about this. My nephew is still somewhat sure that he will not waste everything and let Elder Zhang's years of hard work go to waste. Oh, by the way, these jade boxes are also required. For my nephew."

"Bang Dang" Valley Master Nie staggered after hearing the last sentence, and thought to himself: "This guy's habits are indeed as Xiao Yu said."

Before Valley Master Nie could answer, Elder Zhang waved his hand and said: "Whatever, whatever, there are many things like this in Huichun Valley. If you like it, it's okay to let your prospective father-in-law have a few more of you."

This time it was Zhang Xiaohua's turn to have black lines on her head.

As soon as the discussion of the relevant matters was completed, Elder Zhang and Master Nie put the jade boxes they had taken on the table, and Zhang Xiaohua began to make elixirs by fire.

Zhang Xiaohua hesitated slightly, stepped forward, took down the cauldron placed on the ground fire, and placed the immortal alchemy furnace taken from Elder Zhang's alchemy room on it, and was about to turn on the mechanism. , rising to the ground fire.

Upon seeing this, Elder Zhang immediately stopped him and said, "Young Master Ren, do you want to use this strange cauldron to make elixirs?"

Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "That's exactly it."

"But, I have also tried this alchemy furnace, and it can't control the temperature at all. How can I refine elixirs?"

"Elder Zhang doesn't know that he moved here from you a few days ago. When I had nothing to do, I was thinking about it and happened to come across a method of ours that can control this cauldron very well, and the effect is better than the original one. That one is much better, so I thought of using this method to refine this important Crimson Flame Pill."

"That's it! This is the root cause of his inconsistent attitudes." Valley Master Nie and Elder Zhang both showed expressions of sudden enlightenment. No wonder they had to watch the whole process. The secret techniques in their sects are of course forbidden to be transmitted to outsiders. of.

When Zhang Xiaohua raised the ground fire and heated the alchemy furnace, he stood there without adding any medicine. Elder Zhang asked strangely: "Young Master Ren, please input your internal energy quickly to increase the temperature?"

Zhang Xiaohua looked at him, smiling and saying nothing.

Valley Master Nie tugged on his sleeves and said, "Let's go, Elder Zhang. Let's go outside for a while. Young Master Ren will call us later."

"Ah? You haven't given any medicine yet, so you won't be allowed to see it?"

Elder Zhang was depressed.

Depressed, as he had already agreed, Elder Zhang could only get up and follow Valley Master Nie out of the alchemy room.

In her consciousness, seeing the two of them standing helplessly outside, Zhang Xiaohua could only say sorry in her heart.

Zhang Xiaohua waved his hand, and all the jade boxes placed on the table opened their lids. The jade box containing the Red Flame Grass immediately overflowed with unusually lively heaven and earth energy, while the jade box containing the Red Flame Grass immediately overflowed with vitality, while the jade box containing the Red Flame Grass overflowed with vitality. Overflowing with the gentle and tranquil vitality of heaven and earth, the vitality of heaven and earth of several other herbs are also somewhat different, and the concentrations are also different.

Zhang Xiaohua memorized the positions of several medicinal herbs, closed the lids of the jade box, then took a gentle breath, pinched the magic formula with both hands, hit it on the alchemy furnace, and began to refine the moistening pill!
