Chapter 321 Alchemy
Ning Wantang saw Liang Yan pondering slightly and didn't know what he was thinking, so he stretched out his hand, pointed at the alchemy furnace in the middle of the alchemy room and said: "Brother Liang, wait a minute And please help me One or two miles."
Liang Yan followed her finger and looked towards the middle, and saw a bronze alchemy furnace as tall as a person standing in the center of the alchemy room, and at the mouth of the alchemy furnace, there was an emerald green thread. The bamboo pole extends out.
This bamboo pole seems to be hollow, with one end connected to the alchemy furnace and the other end inserted into the bottom of a gourd. As for the gourd's mouth, there is a bamboo pole extending out, all the way to the outside where everyone is sitting.
Liang Yan has watched Zhuo Bufan make alchemy before, but he has never seen such a posture. She couldn't help but be a little curious, pointing to the gourd and asking: "Miss Ning, what is this thing used for?"
Ning Wantang smiled slightly and said: "This is the 'Jingxuan Gourd', which is an original creation of my grandfather's line of alchemy. Your blood will drip from the mouth of this bamboo pole later, and after passing through the 'Jingxuan Gourd', it will naturally It will remove unnecessary impurities and filter out dry That part of the essence of Yuan Guo. After all, for alchemy, there is no need for this ingredient to be slightly different."
Although Liang Yan was not familiar with alchemy, he vaguely felt that what she said was reasonable, so he put it at the mouth of the bamboo pole. The other end sat down cross-legged.
Ning Wantang glanced at him and said with a smile: "Brother Liang, don't worry too much. Although the Qian Yuan Fruit is an essential ingredient for the Divine Rejuvenation Pill, the amount required is only a little. Brother Liang every time All it takes is a little blood."
Liang Yan nodded and said nothing. He ate the Qianyuan Fruit and felt vaguely that his energy and blood were much stronger in the past few days. It was not a big deal to donate a little blood.
“Okay, now that everyone is ready, I’ll start.”
After saying this, Ning Wantang's face became solemn and he sat upright. She first made a magic spell with her hands, and saw flames rising from the bottom of the alchemy furnace, and the lid of the furnace was slightly opened.
Fengshui, Yanyuecao, Golden Camel Ganoderma. I saw alchemy materials flying out from Ning Wantang's storage bag, and they were put into the alchemy furnace in an orderly manner. Most of the materials were , are all unknown to Liang Yan.
His qualifications for alchemy were very poor and his knowledge was limited. He was bored and did not look closely. Instead, he looked at Ning Wantang with interest.
As soon as this woman entered the state of alchemy, she looked completely different from her usual self. There was no longer that weird look on his face. Instead, he looked serious and devoted himself almost wholeheartedly.
Liang Yan nodded secretly. He had also been taught the art of alchemy by Yu Xuanji himself, but he was not qualified for this, so he gave up in the end.
But Ning Wantang was just the opposite. He was obviously a good candidate for alchemy. Not only was she as meticulous as a hair, but she also sat firmly in the middle of the hall. All kinds of spiritual materials were put into the alchemy furnace at almost exactly the right time, and even the heat was just right.
Half a day passed like this, and no one of the three people spoke in the alchemy room. Just when Liang Yan was feeling sleepy, he suddenly heard Ning Wantang shouting: "Brother Liang, it's now!"
After hearing this, Liang Yan cheered up a little, stretched out his hand and touched his fingertips. A few bits of blood trickled out and dripped into the entrance of the bamboo pole.
I saw the blood flowing into the gourd through the bamboo pole, and then churning inside the gourd. In the end, only a drop of liquid mixed with green air emerged from the bottom of the gourd, and slowly flowed in along another bamboo pole. In the alchemy furnace.
Ning Wantang seemed to have calculated the time a long time ago. The moment the cyan liquid dripped into the alchemy furnace, he immediately raised his hand to cast a spell, sent the last part of the materials into the alchemy furnace, and then closed the furnace cover. After sealing it completely, focus on controlling the fire.
Liang Yan didn't bother her when he saw this, and just sat cross-legged and meditated. Half a day passed like this, and suddenly I saw that Ning Wantang's face was turning red and white, and she looked vaguely mentally and physically exhausted. I just heard her say in an extremely small voice: "Master Gui, help me"
Gui Yun'er on the side seemed to have been prepared. He immediately stood up and reached out to gently press Ning Wantang's back vest. , transferring a steady stream of spiritual power into Ning Wantang's meridians.
Liang Yan knew that the alchemy refining had reached the most critical moment, but Ning Wantang's cultivation was too weak and her spiritual power could not be sustained, so she asked Gui Yun'er to help her. With Gui Yun'er's help, Ning Wantang's face improved and she concentrated on controlling the changes in the fire. After about a stick of incense, she suddenly saw her raising one hand flat, pressing down in the air, and actually swallowing up the blazing fire.
“It’s done!”
The other two people in the alchemy room thought in unison.
Ning Wantang raised her hand, and the stove lid flew into the sky. A gray pill flew out of it and fell into her hand gently and skillfully.
Ning Wantang stared at it for a moment, then said with a smile: "The quality of Cheng Dan is not bad, thank you two for your help!"
After hearing this, Gui Yun'er was just shy. He smiled but said nothing. But Liang Yan cupped his fists and said, "Miss Ning's alchemy skills are superb, which really opened Liang's eyes."
This was something he said from the bottom of his heart. He had seen Zhuo Bufan make alchemy before. , I thought that as a famous disciple of Yixing Pavilion’s alchemy lineage, his alchemy skills must be extraordinary. Now I saw Ning Wantang refining elixirs, but I found that there was a fundamental difference between cloud and mud.
Ning Wantang felt a little happy after hearing his praise. She had grown up in the valley since she was a child, and rarely received praise from people. At this moment, she was in a good mood, and suddenly remembered something and asked Liang Yan:
"Brother Liang slept in the same room as Dumb last night, is there anything wrong?" Is there anything unusual? "
"Abnormal? "
Liang Yan was slightly frightened and thought to himself that this little girl didn't have any good intentions in putting me in the same room with that dumb guy.
“Looking at your surprised look, I must have slept soundly last night.” Ning Wantang stuck out her tongue and said a little apologetically: “Actually, Ah-Dai often sleepwalks at night, and occasionally takes out some knives. Although he has no spiritual power, some mortals in the valley have been injured by him."
Liang Yan's expression changed after hearing this, and he said angrily: "So you put me and him in the same room, aren't you afraid that he will chop me down in his dreams at night?"
Ning Wantang With a slightly red face, he hurriedly explained: "A'Dai doesn't have any spiritual power at all. He is just an ordinary martial artist at best. But you are different. , you are a real monk, there is no way you can be hurt by him. The reason why I put you and Ah-Dai in the same room is to keep an eye on Ah-Dai and prevent him from going out to hurt others."
Liang. After hearing what she said, although he knew that what she said was the truth, he still felt unhappy and said angrily: "Although Liang Although I agreed to help you make elixirs, I didn't say that I would help you take care of people."
"Brother Liang is right, but I really don't have anyone. Master Mu and Master Yuan can't agree to go. Master Gui was timid to do this kind of thing, and he didn’t dare to approach Ah-Dai. Speaking of which, if it weren’t for my grandfather not allowing me to be in the same room with Ah-Dai. , I will go by myself."
Ning Wantang's voice was a little hoarse, and he continued: "If Duan hurts people in the valley again, my grandfather may drive him out of the valley now. My memory is all gone and I feel stupid. If I go out of the valley alone, I don’t know if I will be harmed by others.”
Seeing her sad expression, Liang Yan couldn't help but feel moved, and asked, "If I help you refine the elixir, and look after Dumb for you, can you please help me refine the sword-raising elixir?"
