Chapter 486: Medicinal Fragrance

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's look, Nie Qianyu had an angry look on her face. Just as she was about to speak, Zhang Xiaohua frowned and said, "Oh, I forgot about the alchemy thing. You three, please go out for a while until I finish it." , how about coming in again?"

Nie Qianyu had no choice but to follow Valley Master Nie and Elder Zhang out of the alchemy room.

As soon as he came out of the alchemy room, Elder Zhang gave Nie Qianyu a thumbs up and said, "Xiao Yu is so smart. He actually thought of becoming a disciple. I never thought of it."

Then he said to Valley Master Nie: "Valley Master, now I know the benefits of having a daughter. You can bring this mysterious alchemy method to the Valley of Rejuvenation without any effort."

Valley Master Nie shook his head and said: "Elder Zhang thinks too simplistically. Even if Xiao Yu joins the Beidou Sect, let's not say how long it will take for him to reach the level of Nephew Ren. Besides, if you join someone else's sect, you have to obey their rules. According to the sect rules, whether he can make elixirs for us is another matter, so don’t have high hopes."

How could Elder Zhang not know this? Just joking.

Zhang Xiaohua, who was in the alchemy room, concentrated on looking at the medicinal liquid inside which had been restored to a spherical shape. He inserted several magic formulas in the jade slip and carefully looked at the changes. He saw only the red flame grass and Jiangzhu. The interaction between grass and grass reacted more intensely, and this magic formula played a role in promoting it. Zhang Xiaohua touched her chin and pinched the magic formula with her other hand, as if she wanted to discover something from it.

After a long while, he put the liquid into the bottom of the furnace and walked out.

This time, Valley Master Nie and Elder Zhang were not as active as the previous two times. They must have known that no matter how fast they ran, Zhang Xiaohua would not let them see anything from the alchemy furnace.

Sure enough, the alchemy furnace, earth fire, and liquid medicine were the same as before. Even the fragrance of the medicine in the alchemy room was still faint.

At this time, Nie Qian unconsciously frowned and asked softly: "Brother Ren, why is the fragrance of the medicine when you are refining the medicine different from the previous few days? I remember that when you refined the elixir some time ago, the fragrance of the medicine was It's just tangy, but now..."

Elder Zhang and Valley Master Nie also suddenly realized that they only cared about the process of refining alchemy and had forgotten this detail. Moreover, many ancient books did not mention the fragrance of the medicine at all. They just took it for granted that it must be A truly good elixir is one that has a strong aroma.

Elder Zhang asked with concern: "Young Master Ren, this...could it be that the method is wrong?"

Zhang Xiaohua had compared the alchemy of martial arts and immortality, but she had some insights in her heart, and said with a smile: "I don't know the reason why.

I just have a vague feeling that the medicinal fragrance is naturally caused by the medicinal effect of the medicinal herbs. If it spreads too much, will it reduce the medicinal effect? For example, if this medicinal herb is packed in an ordinary wooden box, it will have a strong medicinal smell no matter where it is placed. Over time, it will lose its effectiveness. Only when it is packed in this jade box, the medicinal smell will not escape, so that it can last long. "

Zhang Xiaohua did not give them the formation around the liquid medicine or the five elements contained in the medicine. He only presented this simple comparison, which was quite understandable and easy to understand.

"This?" The other three people were stunned. This theory is really easy to understand, but why is it not written in the alchemy book?

Alas, only a person like Zhang Xiaohua, who became a monk halfway and fully relied on himself to explore, can have such an understanding.

Nie Qianyu then asked: "According to Brother Ren, the weaker the medicinal taste, the more effective it is?"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said with a smile: "Except for pills that have been kept for a long time and have no effect at all!"

Nie Qian spat and said, "Of course I know this."

Not long after, the entire alchemy room fell into silence.

Yes, even when faced with a puddle of concoction, there is no "gudu" there. I can't see anything, and I don't understand anything. Can I ask any clarification questions?

After a while, Valley Master Nie said with a smile: "My dear nephew, I still have some chores to do in the valley, so I won't watch here. My dear nephew, please pay more attention."

After saying that, he handed over his hands and left the alchemy room first.

After a while, Elder Zhang, who was the most enthusiastic at first, also backed down and murmured: "Young Master Ren, I suddenly remembered that my Dabai hasn't been fed yet. I guess it is hungry now. I have to go take a look quickly, you go ahead and wait until tomorrow, and then I’ll take a look.”

After saying that, he folded his hands and ran away without waiting for Zhang Xiaohua to say anything.

Only Nie Qianyu was left looking at Zhang Xiaohua apologetically and staying by her side silently.

However, after a while, Nie Qianyu's eyes were a little blurry when she looked at the medicinal liquid. Although she liked being with Zhang Xiaohua very much, she always faced this medicinal liquid that had not changed at all and did not dare to spend more time with Zhang Xiaohua. When Xiaohua spoke, she was afraid of disturbing him while refining his elixir. How could he not make her sleepy?

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua withdrew her consciousness from the alchemy furnace and asked softly: "What's going on? Xiao Yu'er, it's still early, why are you daydreaming? Just do it. How can I live up to those few months of studying the Three-Character Sutra in the same alchemy room as me alone?"

Nie Qianyu was originally in a daze, but was suddenly teased to the point of losing all sleep. She spat out "Bah!" and said: "What kind of lonely man and widow are you talking about in this clear day? I just rested here and watched the rejuvenation." Who in the world can say half a word 'no'?"

Zhang Xiaohua was startled, then she immediately gave him her thumb, and said with a smile: "He is indeed the second most powerful figure in the Valley of Rejuvenation, so majestic."

Nie Qianyu's face was slightly red. She looked at the medicine liquid in the alchemy furnace that had not changed and asked, "Brother Ren, has it been like this for the past ten days?"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said: "Basically everything remains unchanged. Only on the last day will there be some changes."

"Then we won't be able to watch on the last day?"

Nie Qianyu asked very keenly.

"Exactly." Zhang Xiaohua said without hesitation.

"Alas" Nie Qian sighed and said, "Dad and Elder Zhang will definitely regret it."

Zhang Xiaohua shrugged and did not answer. Anyway, he had made it clear before that no matter what, he could not let them see him using magic techniques to control the alchemy furnace.

Seeing that Nie Qianyu was a little unhappy, Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and said: "Nie Xiaoyu'er, instead of being bored here and learning nothing, I think you might as well go back and study the Dayan Five Elements Formation carefully. , that is a real thing. Once you learn it, you can use it to protect the Valley of Rejuvenation. Haven’t you always wanted to rely on your own strength to achieve results that will impress others? Isn’t this the best opportunity?”

After hearing this, Nie Qianyu's eyes lit up. These words were exactly what she said from the bottom of her heart. She had long forgotten the low-key explanation between Elder Zhang and Master Nie at the door of the alchemy room. She stood up and said, "Brother Ren." , you are absolutely right, I will take that formation over now and study it in your alchemy room. If there is anything you don’t understand, you can answer it for me right away."

"Dizzy~" Zhang Xiaohua almost shouted, didn't he just want you to go back, why do you really want to stay here?

Zhang Xiaohua waved her hands repeatedly and said: "Nie Xiaoyu'er, you should meditate in your own room. I have to concentrate on refining elixirs here. If you have any questions, it's not too late to come to me after dinner. Do you think that's okay?"

"But..." Nie Qianyu really wanted to say: "Brother Ren, seeing that the people from the Incense Cult are coming, how many more days can you stay in the Valley of Rejuvenation? I just want to stay with you longer."

It's a pity that she couldn't say such naked words of love, so she had to change her words: "But, can't you come over anytime if I have a problem?"

Zhang Xiaohua pinched her chin, with a profound look on her face, and said: "As the ancients said: 'Go your own way and let others envy you.' Although this formation is dead, you are still alive. If you encounter problems, It’s best to think about it a few times by yourself first, and maybe you’ll have your own ideas. What you think about without relying on other people’s explanations is the most real gain.”

"Moreover, the benevolent person sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom in the formation process, and it does not necessarily become routine. If we accept it completely without thinking, we will not be able to carry forward the practice of being better than others."

Alas, in short, let Nie Qianyu watch and think by himself more, and stop disturbing him when he is refining elixirs.

How could Nie Qianyu not hear it? She just smiled sweetly and said: "Brother Ren is a talented person. I will definitely learn from you, so I will go back and learn from you."

After saying that, he gave Zhang Xiaohua a hard look and walked out of the alchemy room.

After Nie Qianyu left, Zhang Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief. The world was really clean. It felt good to have no one watching. Immediately, Zhang Xiaohua squeezed the magic formula in his hand and sent the liquid back to the alchemy furnace. In the middle, several more magic formulas were injected, and the entire liquid boiled abnormally.

After a while, the medicinal liquid gradually calmed down, and Zhang Xiaohua waved his hand, took the straw futon next to the bed, sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, released a ray of consciousness, and carefully looked at the alchemy furnace. While taking the medicine, he closed his eyes and prepared to understand the formula for guiding the gods.

However, after Zhang Xiaohua closed his eyes, he always felt like something was missing, which made him uneasy.

Frowning and opening his eyes, he saw several jade boxes placed next to the alchemy furnace. Zhang Xiaohua immediately understood, but how could he put down half a red flame grass and half a purple grass when he hadn't put it into his wallet? Where is the heart?

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiaohua took out two green jade boxes from his purse, put all the Red Flame Grass and Crimson Pearl Grass on the table into the jade boxes, and then put a restriction on them, and then he felt relieved. At this time, there were still many medicinal herbs on the table that were intact. Zhang Xiaohua rolled his eyes and took out several jade boxes again, divided the remaining herbs in half and put them into the jade boxes.

"Anyway, I told Valley Master Nie and Elder Zhang to leave half of it for me. I took it now because I was afraid that the energy in the medicinal herbs would drain away, so I had to sue for it."

After doing all this, Zhang Xiaohua sat cross-legged again and calmed down to meditate on "Lian Shen Yin".

The day passed quickly, and until dusk fell, Valley Master Nie, Nie Qianyu and Elder Zhang did not show up.
