Chapter 45: First Experience of Refining Medicine
The price of goods in this world, five to six hundred gold coins, can allow an ordinary family to live a carefree life.
"Here are two simple prescriptions. You can read them first and practice them yourself after reading them." After Frank finished speaking, he patted Gu Fengchen on the shoulder and turned around to leave.
After Frank left, Gu Fengchen took a deep breath.
Everything is moving in a good direction.
Now Xiao Yan should not have been swallowed up by Yao Lao. The main plot of Dou Po has not yet begun. He can already embark on the road of refining an alchemist. This start is simply a bad start.
He is now a four-star fighting master, but his fighting spirit is as strong as fine iron. With the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame refining his fighting spirit, he has not experienced the inflated fighting spirit caused by the rapid improvement.
Fundamentally, it has not had any bad impact.
The second thing is the soul. Gu Fengchen feels that his soul perception is extremely terrifying. This should be the benefit brought to him by two people in his life.
Besides these, the ratio of Gu Fengchen's martial arts and fighting skills is also quite dazzling. At least at the fighting master stage, he has no opponent at all.
Gathering his thoughts, he focused on the two pill recipes.
He took out the pitch-black medicine cauldron from Najie.
After reviewing the prescription of the elixir and the amount and heat required for refining the elixir, he slowly placed his palm on the medicine cauldron.
He carefully pulled out a very weak wisp of Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame.
The main reason is that Jin Emperor Fen Tianyan is too domineering, and Gu Fengchen is afraid of using it directly. Not to mention the medicinal materials, the elementary medicinal cauldron will be burned into a pile of dregs.
A ray of golden flame, wrapped in fighting spirit, quickly passed through the meridians, and then passed through the palm of the hand and shuttled into the medicine cauldron.
Soon, a wisp of Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame started burning in the dark medicine cauldron.
The next moment, Gu Fengchen drew out a very fine green fighting energy and injected it into the medicine cauldron.
After the green wood attribute Dou Qi entered, it seemed to have a chemical reaction.
The originally agitated flames in the cauldron suddenly became quiet!
Gu Fengchen slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. After confirming that he had controlled the flames, he concentrated his mind and began to refine the medicinal materials.
Gu Fengchen selected a medicinal plant and threw it into the medicine cauldron. However, the moment the medicinal plant came into contact with the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame, it withered and turned black. Within a few seconds, only a layer of ashes remained. .
Gu Fengchen was stunned for a moment, "The temperature of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame is more difficult to control than ordinary flames, so we can only do it slowly."
He took a deep breath, anyway, this He didn't pay for the medicinal materials himself, so he destroyed them as soon as they were destroyed.
He continued to try.
However, the next ten attempts all ended in failure.
After swallowing, Gu Fengchen threw in another medicinal herb.
However, this medicinal plant only lasted for a while and then turned into ashes.
After twenty failures, Gu Fengchen finally figured out the trick of refining medicinal materials.
Thankfully Frank was generous enough, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to stop him from doing this.
At this moment, Gu Fengchen's body seemed to be exhausted, panting heavily, and his chest kept rising and falling.
The consumption of fighting energy by refining medicine is also very terrifying.
He adjusted and continued to refine the medicine.
Until the thirty-first time.
He once again threw a medicinal plant into the medicine cauldron. After the medicinal plant entered the medicine cauldron, the flame controlled by Gu Fengchen and the Jin Emperor Fentianyan used a temperature that was neither hot nor cold. Slowly burn the medicinal plant.
This time, the medicinal plant did not directly turn into ashes. Instead, a drop of red liquid seeped out from its surface. As more and more liquid seeped out, the medicinal plant seemed to be sucked. It withers as quickly as the essence is gone, and soon the refining is completed.
Gu Fengchen collected the red liquid in the medicine cauldron into a jade bottle and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Refining medicine is indeed a very laborious task. If you are not careful, you will destroy a medicinal plant and start all over again. However, everything is difficult at the beginning. Through practice, Gu Fengchen has gradually mastered how to control the temperature of the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame. Now that he has succeeded in the first step, the rest of the extraction will be much simpler.
However, Gu Fengchen must rest for a while now, because the consumption of fighting energy in his body is too great. If he continues, the refining of the medicine will definitely fail due to exhaustion of fighting energy.
He lay on the bed a little weakly, thinking about having a good sleep.
A moment later, after a battle between lazy and diligent heaven and man, he still sat up, placed the mudra of cultivation, and then slowly closed his eyes.
After all, at this time, the fighting energy in the body is on the verge of exhaustion, and the effect of cultivation is the best.
Gu Fengchen rested cross-legged to regain his fighting spirit. An hour later, he opened his eyes again and continued to refine the elixir.
The essence has been refined, and the next step is to melt the elixir.
As the name suggests, the so-called Rongdan is to fuse the essence of various extracted medicinal materials together.
This is the most difficult step. After all, medicinal materials have different medicinal properties. If the flame is not controlled well, the medicinal materials extracted before will be directly wasted.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Fengchen put the medicinal materials into the medicine cauldron one by one.
At this time, the importance of wood attribute fighting spirit is reflected.
The process of melting elixirs needs to be catalyzed by wood gas. After all, most medicinal materials belong to wood. Wood gas can neutralize the medicinal properties and catalyze the fusion of elixirs.
As the fire continued to burn, the medicinal materials with different colors began to gradually merge.
In the golden flame, the prototype of an elixir slowly appeared.
Gu Fengchen gathered his mind and began to smoke the gradually forming elixir with a gentle temperature.
This process lasted nearly twenty minutes.
After Gu Fengchen confirmed that the elixir was formed, his soul power suddenly withdrew, and immediately, the golden flame completely enveloped the elixir.
The Golden Emperor's Fentianyan was immediately suppressed as soon as it was released, and was quickly suppressed to the lowest point by Gu Fengchen. Then, as the golden flame dissipated, a pill exuding a faint fragrance appeared in the potion. Within the tripod.
The first-grade elixir Huichun Powder is completed!
The whole process took almost four hours, but Gu Fengchen didn't feel any fatigue. He was very excited.
After all, this is his first time successfully refining medicine.
“Hey, but to become an alchemist, you still need a lot of medicinal materials and elixir recipes. I can’t keep picking up Frank’s wool all the time. I still need to collect some myself. Find some time to go to the Miter auction. Let’s auction off the elixir that Gu Yuan gave me and exchange it for some gold coins or something.”
Moreover, refining medicine requires a lot of mental energy and fighting spirit. During these four hours of refining, Gu Fengchen spent two hours adjusting and restoring his fighting spirit. Therefore, to become an excellent alchemist, one's own strength is also very important.
Ten minutes later, Gu Fengchen took the little medical fairy to a secluded corner. He had forgotten one thing before.
The little medical fairy looked at Gu Fengchen with some confusion and asked, "Gu Feng, what's going on?"
"I forgot before, so I'll give this to you."
Speaking, Gu Fengchen took out a set of dark black soft armor from Najie.
This set of soft armor was given to Gu Fengchen by Yaoye before.
But now Gu Fengchen's own defense has been fully stretched. Although this soft armor is useful, it is not of great use. It is better to give it to the little medical fairy.
He looked at the expectant but confused expression of the little medical fairy, and explained: "This is a set of close-fitting soft armor, made of the bear skin of the fourth-level magic beast Black Bear, which can fit perfectly. The skin is very breathable, which can make up for your lack of defense, and you are no longer afraid of others getting close."
The little doctor fairy took the set of soft armor with joy and said with red eyes. : "Thank you, thank you."
In fact, among the many female characters in Dou Po, the one with the worst background is the Little Medical Fairy.
The second is Qinglin, these two are basically 50-50.
Cai Lin is the queen of the snake people, Gu Xun'er has the blood of Dou Emperor, and Nalan Yanran also has the Nalan family behind her.
Only the Little Medical Fairy, if it were not for the Poison Body, I am afraid that he would never leave Qingshan Town in this life!
