Chapter 484: Hidden Alchemy

Not to mention, Valley Master Nie and Elder Zhang stayed outside the alchemy room with resentful faces, looking back from time to time to see what Zhang Xiaohua was doing inside, but they also knew very well that such behavior was extremely shameful. I just feel itchy in my heart and can't control myself.

In the alchemy room, Zhang Xiaohua put the first few magic formulas into the alchemy furnace and the earth fire. When the temperature of the alchemy furnace came up, he moved his hand, and the jade box containing the Red Flame Grass opened. , with another move of his finger, the Red Flame Grass was split into two halves, and with another move of his right hand, half of the Red Flame Grass flew out of the jade box and fell directly into the alchemy furnace, and the jade box was closed at the same time.

After the Red Flame Grass was put into the alchemy furnace, it was tempered into a fist-sized liquid within a short time. It kept rolling inside the alchemy furnace. Silks of fine smoke flew out from the liquid. It was exactly what was in the liquid. Contains impurities.

Zhang Xiaohua knows that this red flame grass is indeed a rare medicinal herb, which contains a lot of vitality of heaven and earth, but correspondingly, due to the long growth period, the vitality contains a lot of impurities, which is very difficult to temper out. The cauldron of ordinary martial arts It is simply impossible to obtain pure Red Flame Grass Liquid. Even tempering it like this will take a day and a night. Looking at the medicinal liquid in the alchemy furnace that was constantly expanding and contracting into various shapes, Zhang Xiaohua frowned slightly. Valley Master Nie and Elder Zhang would definitely come in to watch after a while. How could he explain to them this medicinal liquid floating in the air out of thin air? ?

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiaohua chuckled and entered another magic formula. The fist-like liquid gradually turned into a cake shape and slowly sank to the bottom of the alchemy furnace, just like Guo Sufei was spreading it on the stove of Guozhuang. A piece of pie! !

Alas, in a moment of desperation, all Zhang Xiaohua could think about was the pancakes that his mother put in his bag when he left Guozhuang.

Looking around the alchemy furnace, there was nothing unusual. Zhang Xiaohua walked to the door of the alchemy room and was about to say hello when he heard someone outside saying strangely: "Dad, Elder Zhang, why are you two waiting outside the alchemy room?" Where are you? Where is Brother Ren? He is not in the alchemy room?"

Isn't it Nie Qianyu?

Elder Zhang had a bitter look on his face and said, "Xiao Yu, you are here."

Nie Qian asked Yu Qi: "What did Elder Zhang say? Xiao Yu has been very tired from helping Brother Ren copy things these days. He wants to take a good rest these days. However, dad said yesterday that he would refine the Jiangyan Pill today. , I just woke up and came right away to give you a start."

Then he smiled and said: "Brother Ren always gets up early. He must be going to the valley to practice martial arts now. Let's wait for a while. It's still early anyway."

Valley Master Nie looked at his precious daughter and said with a wry smile: "Yes, it is still early, but there is no such thing as time for alchemy, and you have to pick medicine as early as possible."

"Ouch" Nie Qianyu covered her little mouth,

He said: "I forgot my father's instructions. The herbs must be picked before the dew disappears."

However, she changed the topic and said with a smile: "The ancients said: 'Theory must be combined with practice.' What I picked are ordinary herbs. Why are there so many taboos?"

Then, he felt something was wrong and asked, "Didn't dad make an appointment with Brother Ren? Brother Ren should be in the alchemy room at this time?"

At this time, Zhang Xiaohua walked out of the alchemy room with a smile and said, "Nie Xiaoyu'er, are you here too?"

Nie Qian smiled and said, "Good morning, Brother Ren, why don't you invite us in quickly? Dad and Elder Zhang have already gathered the herbs."

"Hahaha" Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "Then please invite the three of you in."

Valley Master Nie and Elder Zhang were surprised and asked, "Can we go in?"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded slightly, and the two of them immediately took three steps at a time and rushed in first. Nie Qianyu was surprised, but she was not a talkative person, so she slowly walked into the alchemy room with Zhang Xiaohua.

There is a faint medicinal fragrance floating in the alchemy room, which is not strong. It is much lighter than the previously refined Bigu Pill, Baixiao Pill, Xinxue Pill, etc. Seeing her father and Elder Zhang rushing towards the small alchemy furnace on the ground fire without any hesitation, and the ground fire was also burning brightly, Nie Qian couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Brother Ren, have you already started refining the pill?"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "Yes, we started long before you came."

"But..." Nie Qianyu was about to ask something when she heard Elder Zhang calling over there: "Young Master Ren, please come here."

Zhang Xiaohua walked over quickly and said with a smile: "What's the problem with Elder Zhang?"

Elder Zhang pointed to the pool of medicinal liquid at the bottom of the alchemy furnace and asked, "Nephew Ren Xian makes elixirs without using water. Why is there so much water at the bottom of this alchemy furnace?"

Zhang Xiaohua knew that alchemy using martial arts had the same effect of refining impurities as immortality, but the refining method was too overbearing. It directly used firepower to turn impurities into ashes, and at the same time, it was inevitable that the impurities would be reduced. Many of the essences are also lost, and the immortal way turns the herbs into medicinal liquids and uses formations to protect them. This is the gentle way. It can not only remove as many impurities as possible, but also better retain the essence.

The "water decoction" of Huichun Valley should also have this meaning.

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "Elder Zhang, take a closer look. It's not water, but the juice transformed from the Red Flame Grass. I didn't add anything else at all."

Valley Master Nie was shocked and said: "Nephew Ren, at such a high temperature, you can actually keep this concoction like this without turning into qi and flying out. How do you do this?"

Zhang Xiaohua touched her nose and said, "Uncle Nie, I forgive my nephew for not being able to answer this."

Valley Master Nie and Elder Zhang were both disappointed. They looked at each other and then focused on the pool of juice.

At this time, Nie Qianyu also walked to the alchemy furnace and looked inside to see what was going on. Remembering the question just now, she smiled and said: "I have already started refining the alchemy, but when I came, dad..."

Before she could finish her words, Valley Master Nie realized something and suddenly raised his head and asked, "Nephew Ren, did you just say that this juice is from Red Flame Grass?"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Nie, what's the problem?"

"But, isn't it clearly stated in the elixir recipe that Red Flame Grass and Crimson Pearl Grass should be put in together, and the main medicinal properties of the two flavors should be slowly roasted?" Valley Master Nie asked, a little anxious.

Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand and said: "Uncle Nie, don't be anxious. My nephew is confident. The juice of the Red Flame Grass will have to be tempered for a day and night. The Red Flame Grass will not be put in until this time tomorrow."

"What???" The three people next to them were all surprised and said in unison: "Just tempering this red flame grass will take a day and a night?"

Zhang Xiaohua suddenly remembered that the formula of the Jiangyan Pill did not specify the refining time. He was busy with formations these days and had ignored this issue. The pills refined in the Rejuvenation Valley were all very common. It only takes one meal to refine elixirs recently. I have never refined elixirs as time-consuming as Jiangyan Dan. This will of course be surprising at first glance.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiaohua explained: "Elder Zhang, Valley Master Nie, in the prescription of Jiangyan Pill, it only explains the refining steps, but there is no specific time. In the lower sect, the method of tempering the medicine is the same as The difference from before was that the word 'gentleness' was emphasized, which means to work carefully with gentle fire, so the time was much longer."

Nie Qian asked curiously: "Brother Ren, how many hours will it take?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "It's not like tempering one after another. After a while, you can put the Crimson Pearl Grass and other herbs into the alchemy furnace. They will be tempered together for a day and a night."

"Oh, that's it." The three of them exclaimed, which is understandable.

However, what they said next shocked them again.

"However, after tempering, the juice must be kept in the alchemy furnace for thirteen days!"

Zhang Xiaohua said calmly.

"Ah...ah...this..." The three of them didn't know what to say.

Yes, the alchemy of immortality has long been annihilated. The alchemy of martial arts has the theory of pregnancy pill, but as time has passed, this term has been gradually forgotten. By the time of the Valley of Rejuvenation, pregnancy pill is just a muddy medicine residue. Just roll it into a round ball.

However, before they could react, Zhang Xiaohua said again: "You three, I'm sorry, I have to invest in the Crimson Pearl Grass. Please wait at the door of the alchemy room."

Nie Qian was stunned and blurted out: "Brother Ren, just give your medicine. I've seen you give it ten or eight times. Is there anything else to avoid?"

Zhang Xiaohua looked at Valley Master Nie and said, "Xiao Yu'er, go out with Uncle Nie first, and let Uncle Nie explain to you that the medicine must be poured into the alchemy furnace quickly without any delay."

As soon as he said "no delay", Valley Master Nie and Elder Zhang were so anxious that they pulled Nie Qianyu out of the alchemy room without knowing what was going on.

After the three people left, Zhang Xiaohua squinted at the liquid in the alchemy furnace and poured the magic formula into it. The red fire grass liquid turned into a ball and floated in the air. Zhang Xiaohua looked at the tumbling liquid and waited for a while. He put half of the indigo plant into it. As soon as the indigo plant was put into the concoction of red flame grass, there was an immediate reaction. The spherical liquid suddenly expanded, as if it was going to explode. Zhang Xiaohua was not busy. , pinched the magic formula with both hands, and the true energy poured into the magic formula like no money. When the magic formula was injected into the medicinal liquid, the medicinal liquid immediately kept rolling, like a child's toy tumbling in the entire alchemy furnace. After a long while, Then he calmed down and floated quietly in the alchemy furnace.

Zhang Xiaohua knew that although the appearance was very peaceful, in the liquid, the fire-based Red Flame Grass and the water-based Crimson Pearl Grass were quietly merging and mutually reinforcing each other.

However, the spherical shape is the prototype of the liquid medicine. I wonder if changing it to a cake shape will affect the fusion of the two main medicines?

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiaohua released his spiritual consciousness, observed the changes in the liquid, and then inserted the magic formula into it, slowly sinking the liquid to the bottom and changing it into a "pancake shape".

Fortunately, although the external shape of the liquid medicine has changed, the internal fusion has remained the same, and no other changes have occurred due to the change in appearance. Zhang Xiaohua spread the medicinal solution and almost touched the sweat on his forehead. Are there any immortals who can make elixirs like him?
