Chapter Fifty: Pill Fire and Meixiang Cauldron

The night was quiet.

The seven-star lamps in the Tianwai Clinic are flickering, black and white air is entwined in the tripod of good and evil, and the entire clinic space is shrouded in a mysterious atmosphere.

Ning Tao sat cross-legged next to the cauldron of good and evil, and practiced the primary entry-level self-cultivation exercises, over and over again...

This is the 30th day since he took over the Tianwai Clinic. He will do a surprise training on the last day when the clinic collects good and evil rents, and try his best to enhance his spiritual power. Otherwise, once the clinic collects the good and evil rent in the good and evil cauldron, the good and bad qi will drop by two-thirds, and the training effect at that time will be far worse than it is now.

All they do is to refine the pill fire of primary prescription pills.

A month passed in a blink of an eye, and Ning Tao tried no less than a hundred times, but he still couldn't convert spiritual power into pill fire. There are only two primary prescription pills left by Chen Pingdao. He must raise his spiritual power to the minimum standard that can be converted into pill fire as soon as possible, otherwise he will be in big trouble.

In a short time, Ning Tao finished his training. He cleared away all distracting thoughts in his mind, and Jia Ang's innate spirituality was amplified to the limit. At the same time, he imagined that he was not in the real world, but in his own body's physical world. At a certain moment, his own body and soul fell into a vortex, falling rapidly, and then he saw the white sky, the white earth, and the quagmire in the center of the world.

This quagmire is his Niwan Palace, the "engine" of his identity as a cultivator. It seems to have grown a bit, but it's not noticeable. Its shape is still an ugly vortex, which has nothing to do with palaces or anything.

With a thought, a black and white thing suddenly leaped out of the quagmire, dancing in the void like a ribbon.

That is his spiritual power, the unique black and white spiritual power of a born middleman between good and evil, black represents evil, white represents good, and the two are absolutely balanced.

At first it was just a tiny trace, but now it has transformed into an "eel", which is many times stronger than the original one.

"It's grown so big, you don't know if you don't look at it." Seeing his "palace" and spiritual power, Ning Tao couldn't help but get excited, "I don't know if it meets the standard of converting into a pill fire?"

With this thought, the white sky disappeared, and the white land also disappeared, and Ning Tao's sight returned to normal. With just one thought, he came out of his physical world.

Next, Ning Tao began to try to convert the spiritual power into pill fire. When the spiritual power gathered in his palms, his palms began to heat up. Driven by his thoughts, the hot parts became hotter and hotter, feeling like holding two old pieces. Like iron, the taste is extremely uncomfortable. But he didn't give up, he kept strengthening his thoughts, and at the same time urged his spiritual power over and over again.

Suddenly, two groups of black and white flames burst out from his palm.

Ning Tao opened his mouth wide in excitement and almost yelled.

The two flames were very weak, trembling in his palm, as if they would go out at any moment. What's even more amazing is that the temperature of the two balls of pill fire is not high, even ordinary people can bear it. Two balls of flames were burning in the palms of his hands, but he didn't feel any discomfort. He felt that the process of fever just now was like the process of breaking the shell of the seed, and it was also the most difficult process. Once the shell broke, it would be a new life!

It worked, and it was a success.

But behind this success are hundreds of failures, and many hard and boring spiritual training.

Two balls of small pill fire danced in the palm of Ning Tao's palm, driven by his thoughts, they swam to the back of his hand at once, and jumped to his fingertips at once. But when he tried to get them out of his body, they went out. The idea of ​​attacking a certain target with the pill fire in his heart was also extinguished, he simply couldn't release the fireball to attack the target like the magician in the magic movie. This pill fire can only be used for alchemy and healing.

How to use pill fire to cure diseases is impossible to try now, but Ning Tao can't wait to try how to use pill fire to refine pills.

After the failed attempt to let the pill fire fly out, he got up from the ground and began to rummage through the clinic to find the medicinal materials for refining the primary prescription pill.

half an hour.

"Chen Pingdao!" Ning Tao roared angrily, "You are a bastard!"

Dozens of medicinal and non-medicinal materials are needed to refine primary prescription pills, and no matter what kind of medicinal or non-medicinal materials are very rare. Although Chen Pingdao had specified in the prescription what kind of medicinal materials and what materials, but he searched the entire clinic, and the medicinal materials for refining the elementary prescription pills were still at least two-thirds short!

There are so many rare and precious medicinal materials and non-medicinal materials, let alone collected from all over the world, even if there is a market that sells medicinal materials and materials for elixirs, he has no money to buy them!

It took a while for Ning Tao to calm down. Although the medicinal materials are very precious, he still took a "Yin Yang Shuang Cordyceps" as an experiment.

Yin-Yang double Cordyceps is actually Cordyceps, but it is a combination of male and female caterpillars. With this one feature alone, the entire prairie where Cordyceps grows can't dig up a hundred roots a year, right?

Fortunately, Chen Pingdao left eight of this kind of medicinal material, which is the largest number, otherwise Ning Tao would not be willing to use it for experiments.

Alchemy requires a cauldron of alchemy, and the cauldron of good and evil is obviously not a cauldron of alchemy.

Ning Tao began to rummage through boxes and cabinets in the clinic to look for Dan Ding again. After a short while, he found three Dan Ding, one bronze-colored Dan Ding, the size of a rice cooker, with a simple style, giving people an ancient and heavy feeling. Feel. A brass-colored ding ding is also the size of a rice cooker, with a "belly" in it, giving people a chubby impression. The third pill tripod was dark, and there were clearly visible cracks on the tripod wall, as if it would crack at any moment. It is the smallest in size, about the size of a soup bowl used by ordinary people to hold soup at home.

Ning Tao put the three ding dings on the desk, looked left and right, but finally chose the ugliest and smallest ding ding. He has his own considerations, this is an experiment after all, there is no need to use a good tripod. In case the good cauldron is broken, he should cry when he gathers the herbs and materials to make alchemy.

After choosing the ding ding, Ning Tao found a rag and wiped the dark ding ding carefully. After cleaning it, he put the yin and yang double caterpillar fungus into the ding ding.

After making preparations, Ning Tao converted his spiritual power into pill fire again, and then released it from his hands. After that, he put his hands on the cracked tripod wall.

hum!

The small black cauldron suddenly let out a buzzing sound, the sound was layer upon layer, as if it came from outside the sky. This voice really wants to carry a kind of energy, which makes people solemn, meditate, and even have a kind of Zen mood!

Suddenly, two balls of spiritual fire spread along the cracks on the tripod wall, and the cracks were like dry rivers. Suddenly there was a thunderstorm, and water sprang up on the ground! The water, half white and half black, exudes luster, and the whole tripod seems to be shrouded in a cloud of black and white mist, which is really magical!

Ning Tao was shocked, "This... this tripod is unusual!"

buzz buzz...

The ugly little cauldron kept humming, the sound was actually very slight, but it gave off a mighty feeling. Hearing this voice, it was like being in the temple of an ancient god, and one couldn't help but want to kneel down and worship the ancient god!

At the same time as the mysterious sound of the tripod, the Yin-Yang Cordyceps began to decompose. This kind of decomposition is not the decomposition of food materials at high temperature, nor is it the chemical decomposition in chemical experiments, but the decomposition of quenching properties. The substances that make up Cordyceps are tempered by the pill fire, and the basic substances disappear little by little, as if they have been weathered for a long time. What is left is only the essence, and even the essence is constantly concentrated, striving for perfection!

After a short while, the Yin-Yang Cordyceps disappeared in the small cauldron full of cracks, replaced by a small drop of crystal clear liquid. It exudes its unique fragrance, which is refreshing to smell.

Ning Tao withdrew the pill fire, and stared curiously at the small drop of liquid in the ugly small cauldron. For some reason, smelling the refreshing fragrance, he couldn't help feeling a desire to drink it up. impulse.

"Hey, there are words?" While looking at the drop of liquid, Ning Tao vaguely saw the words enlarged by the liquid, and then he hugged the ugly little tripod to the foot of the seven-star lamp, and looked again through the light.

This time he saw it clearly, not only the drop of liquid had words under it, but also two words on the bottom of the tripod, which together became: Xiangmei Ding.

Xiang Mei Ding?

What the hell is this name?

Ning Tao was full of curiosity and speculation, "This tripod was probably left by a certain generation of clinic owners, and the owner of that generation of clinics should be a woman, otherwise, why did it get such a name?"

He suddenly remembered something, and then hugged the brass-colored cauldron with a fat belly to the seven-star lamp, and looked at the bottom of the tripod by the light.

The bottom of the brass-colored fat belly tripod is also engraved with the words: Tiangou tripod.

When he saw the words "Tiangou Ding", Ning Tao couldn't control the anger in his heart, and smashed it to the ground with a bang. He wanted to make alchemy but he didn't have the medicinal materials, the dog way made him miserable, he couldn't find Chen Pingdao to vent his anger, so he could only vent his anger on the Tiangou cauldron left by the dog way.

But he quickly calmed down. If Chen Pingdao could handle everything, why would he force the Tianwai Clinic to him? The Tiangou Ding is not Chen Pingdao, even if he smashes the Tiangou Ding to pieces, Chen Pingdao should still eat and drink, and live comfortably.

He put the Tiangou Ding and the quaint bronze-colored Dan Ding back to their original positions. In the process, he discovered the name of the bronze-colored Dan Ding, which was "Rotten Supplies". This is also a strange name, it is obviously a good Dan Ding but it has such a name. That little black broken tripod was rotten and broken, but it took such a poetic name as "Meixiang Ding".

Finally, Ning Tao drank the drop of liquid in the Meixiang Cauldron. In the mouth, a feeling of tasting delicious food that has never been experienced before immediately goes down the throat and reaches the internal organs! His whole body is also warm, very comfortable!

Ning Tao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said: "My spiritual power has reached the standard of being transformed into a pill fire, and I also have such a strange treasure as the Meixiang Cauldron, why don't I use it to temper ordinary medicinal materials or spices? Yes, how about perfecting my second job? Refining primary prescription pills requires so many precious medicinal materials and materials, even if I go to gather herbs, I still need travel expenses, I have to make money!"

After becoming the owner of Tianwai Clinic, he didn't really think about how much money he was going to make. What he thought about most was how to earn good and evil rent and training. After finding that Chen Pingdao didn't even reserve the medicinal materials for him, he had to change. His ideas are gone. He not only wants to make money, but also makes a lot of money!

Suddenly, the black and white air in the cauldron of good and evil retracted into the cauldron, and a strange sound came from the cauldron.

Ning Tao hurriedly put away his thoughts of making money, and walked quickly to the side of the tripod of good and evil. The black and white liquid in the Cauldron of Good and Evil is spinning rapidly, forming a vortex. The center of the vortex should have been the bottom of the Cauldron of Good and Evil, but now it is a bottomless hole the size of a fist!

In a blink of an eye, the vortex stopped, and the black and white liquid was reduced by two-thirds.

Ning Tao then took out the ledger bamboo slips from the small medicine box, and the balance on the ledger was the balance after deducting 200 points of good and evil rent.

The bamboo slips in the ledger showed a piece of content: the next rent payment date is 30 days away, and the next month's rent is 300 points of good and evil rent.

The price has actually increased!

Ning Tao roared angrily: "Why don't you grab it!"

However, new content emerged in the bamboo slips of the ledger: the clinic was upgraded after a thousand points of good and evil rent.

Ning Tao froze on the spot.

Can this Tiankeng clinic be upgraded?

It's so bad now, wouldn't it be even worse after the upgrade?

However, he has no choice.
