Chapter 2211 Endless Debate
Seeing Zhou Shu deep in thought, the others dispersed and walked away.
Xue Wenfu whispered, "Lang Yi, why didn't you discuss it beforehand and just test him with the prescription?"
"That's right, Senior Mu studied the ancient elixir for us, and you just gave it to others casually," Zhengshu Sanren frowned, "When Senior Mu finds out, he will definitely punish you, and maybe even vent his anger on us. What to do then?”
Lang Yi looked unconcerned, "What are you afraid of? If something happens, I will come forward. Senior Mu also said that the alchemy path cannot be kept secret. I am just following the guidance of senior Mu. Besides, are you still worried about Zhou Shuzhen's research? How about the elixir recipe?"
Xue Wenfu just shook his head, "It's impossible. We haven't even studied it clearly. Besides, they are the three most difficult ones. They can't be that easy."
"That's it."
Lang Yi smiled and said, "Anyway, if he can't answer it, it's his fault."
Xue Wenfu was helpless, "You are too obsessed with others. You have to humiliate others when they have done nothing."
A trace of shame flashed in Lang Yi's eyes, and he thought for a moment and said, "When he loses face and wants something, I will give it to him as an apology. I just want Senior Mu to stop saying that he is better than us. What do you think?" Here, Sister Ziyuan."
Zi Yuan kept looking at Zhou Shu and said softly, "I don't think Master Mu will see the wrong person."
Lang Yi was stunned and speechless for a moment, while Xue Wenfu shook his head secretly, "Even if Senior Mu doesn't misjudge the person, he can't give the answer. Who can give the correct ratio just after getting the incomplete pill recipe?" What? Even... no matter how good the alchemist is, he can't."
After hesitating for a moment, he did not say the words "Senior Mu" because he knew that he would definitely get into trouble if he said it.
Zhou Shu over there was looking at the alchemy prescriptions while also paying attention to several alchemy masters, and he had a preliminary understanding.
Among these people, Zi Yuan is obviously the one who needs to make friends the most but is also the most difficult to make friends with. Lang Yi is actually good and the easiest to make friends with. It is not difficult to even make a deep friendship. As for Zheng Shu San Ren, it is just a nod. Xue Wenfu is mature and has a steady character. Very good, you can also be a friend.
Of course, this is the first impression and may not be accurate.
Danfang is difficult, but for Zhou Shu, it is not that difficult.
Twenty-nine medicinal materials, there are already twenty-six answers.
With the research done by those alchemists first, the remaining three must have been deduced tens of thousands of times.
What's more, the paper listed the characteristics of each medicinal material in detail, which made up for Zhou Shu's biggest shortcoming - among the twenty-nine medicinal materials, Zhou Shu was only familiar with the properties of seventeen or eight types, and some of them had only heard of them. I don’t know the meaning of the name, and there are two types that I haven’t even heard of their names.
Without this piece of paper, Zhou Shu might have been in real trouble.
Of course it is possible to deduce the properties of the medicine without knowing it, but the difficulty is increased a thousand times.
The sea of consciousness temporarily cleared a clear space and concentrated on deducing the elixir recipe.
About two hours later, Zhou Shu put down the pill recipe and shook his head gently.
Several people around him immediately looked over. They had been paying attention. Lang Yi walked over directly with a trace of disdain on his lips, "Why, it's really disappointing to give up so quickly."
Xue Wenfu shook his head slightly and said comfortingly, "Fellow Taoist, don't worry. It's hard to see anything in such a short time. How about we study it together later?"
Masaki Sanren's eyes swept back and forth between Dan Fang and Zhou Shu, as if Zhou Shu had taken something away. Only Aster's eyes held a trace of expectation.
Zhou Shu pointed to the piece of paper and said slowly, "I wrote it on it. A few fellow Taoists can read it, but..."
Before he finished speaking, Lang Yi had already grabbed the paper in his hand and read loudly, "For each furnace to make twelve elixirs, use one seeded Ningxuan fruit, three liang of gold, one white eye stone, four liang of Seven cents, fifteen pieces of fairy agarwood roses, a total of one-half cent."
The rest of the people's expressions were slightly condensed, and they were silent for a moment.
Zi Wan spoke first, "Two of them are the same as what I calculated, except that the White Eye Stone has two more coins."
Xue Wenfu stroked his beard and said, "It's almost the same as me. I used one more fragrant rose and one penny less Ningxuan fruit. Maybe the seeds should be removed."
He looked at Zhou Shu, unconsciously showing a lot of admiration, and said in a solemn voice, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you only looked at it for two hours, and you calculated the ratio, and your research is almost the same as ours. You are indeed a genius in alchemy. I feel ashamed of myself."
Lang Yi and Masaki Sanren stopped talking, because Zhou Shu's conclusion was not far from theirs.
Obviously, Zhou Shu has studied alchemy very deeply. Otherwise, he would never have come to such a close conclusion. What's more important is that Zhou Shu did not participate in their discussion at all, and came to the conclusion by himself, or even just It took two hours.
How can it be? He actually did it? Is it so difficult?
Lang Yi's heart was like a tidal wave. Although it was unbelievable, the fact was right in front of him.
Zi Wan thought for a while and said, "How did you come to your conclusion? Why did you use two more coins of White Eye Stone?"
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "We will talk about these later. The problem is not here, but that there is a big problem with the ratio of medicinal materials you calculated before."
"What?"
Several people were stunned.
Xue Wenfu frowned, "We have been studying it for a long time, so we shouldn't make mistakes. Fellow Daoist Zhou, what is the problem?"
"Say it."
Feeling like there was an opportunity, Lang Yi quickly said, "We have been studying for so many days, and you can see the mistake at once. Is it still a big mistake?"
Zi Yuan's face was slightly condensed, and there was a flash of light in her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.
Zhou Shu said calmly, "The amount of fairy spirit buds is much less. It should be doubled, otherwise one furnace of elixirs will be useless, and the others will be fine."
Several people paused for a moment and looked at Zhou Shu together. The admiration they had just now was much less.
Lang Yi was overjoyed. As expected, I discovered the problem. He said in a deep voice, "As we all know, fairy bud is an auxiliary material for most elixirs, and it is an unimportant auxiliary material. It has a little more effect on strengthening the body and dispelling evil." A little less will at most affect the quality of the finished elixir, and will never make a furnace of elixirs useless. Zhou Shu, if you don’t even understand the most basic things about elixir refining, then I have to doubt the ratio you just mentioned. Is it just luck?"
Zhou Shu shook his head, "Most elixirs are fine, but for this ancient elixir, fairy buds are by no means an ordinary auxiliary ingredient, but an important main ingredient."
Lang Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hey, don't talk nonsense. These fairy buds are everywhere, and they are no different from spiritual grass. Using fairy buds as the main ingredient for elixirs can be used even by miscellaneous immortals. You may not be willing to eat it, let alone a true immortal. It is impossible for any ancient elixir to use fairy buds as the main ingredient! If Senior Mu gave us such an elixir to study, he would be looking down on us. "
Xue Wenfu nodded unconsciously.
He also felt that Zhou Shu's words were very problematic. Fairy buds are indeed a common auxiliary material, needed to refine most elixirs, just like salt is needed for cooking, but it is more important than vegetables, and even salt itself It's just a dish, so that's a little abnormal.
Zhou Shu sighed slightly, "That's the fact."
Lang Yi looked at Zhou Shu coldly, "Only you think it's the truth, but none of us alchemists think it is."
Zi Wan whispered, "You'll know after you refine it."
