Chapter 13 Learning to Alchemy

Ruan Nanxing worked hard for half an hour to fill the tub, but Gu Jiuzhou raised his hand and poured it all out.

Everything happened too quickly, giving people the illusion that they were busy in vain.

After coughing slightly, Ruan Nanxing asked: "Where is the elixir?"

Gu Jiuzhou turned over his hands and took out a bunch of medicinal herbs. At a glance, it was obvious that there were more than ten kinds.

Ruan Nanxing glanced at him and thought to himself, isn't this the kind of employee that the boss likes the most? He overcompletes the task in the shortest time! Tsk, fortunately this is in the fairy world. If he were in the original world, Gu Jiuzhou would probably be killed.

Squeezed to the point of crying.

Looking at Gu Jiuzhou's cold face, she couldn't help but think about it, imagining that this person would look very forbearing when he cried, right? It seemed quite touching?

Seeing that she was a little distracted, Gu Jiuzhou asked, "Shall we plant the seeds directly?"

Ruan Nanxing suddenly came back to his senses and was a little embarrassed to look directly at him. He turned his head and looked at the medicinal field and said: "Wait a little longer, the water is a bit too much, and it can be transplanted after it penetrates again."

Gu Jiuzhou left the elixir behind and returned to the courtyard without saying a word.

Ruan Nanxing clicked his tongue, saying that he was not capable of working, but he was too cold and a bit unreasonable.

Thinking about it, she also went back to her room, closed the door, and went back home to take a look at the vegetable garden. She watered the garden diligently, and the sunflowers and sunflowers grew faster than last time. She estimated that they would be harvested tomorrow morning.

Already.

There was still enough time, so Ruan Nanxing turned to the alchemy shop and raised his hand to touch the alchemy furnace - a primary alchemy furnace, which was of ordinary grade and had no increase at all. There was a one-tenth chance of triggering the furnace explosion effect.

Ruan Nanxing curled his lips and waited for an introduction on how to make elixirs, but... nothing happened?!

She couldn't help but frown and think back. The first step seemed to be to turn on the hot alchemy furnace. She lowered her head and looked around the alchemy furnace. Where was the fire?

Ruan Nanxing sighed. Her colleagues were responsible for the details of the alchemy furnace. She was not involved. Now she was completely blind and didn't know anything.

Why don't you take a look at the recipe first?

Ruan Nanxing searched on the console and the medicine shelf, and sure enough he found a prescription for a junior Huai Li Dan. The main medicine was sunflower, and there were seven or eight auxiliary medicines such as Hui Gan and Lian Cao Cao.

In order to facilitate the player's first attempt at refining medicine, the auxiliary medicines have been prepared, with three copies of each. As long as the sunflowers are planted, the medicine can be made.

Ruan Nanxing went to the warehouse to get three sunflowers and returned, continuing to study the elixir.

The prescriptions for the elixir are indeed written in great detail, but they are all about how to handle the medicinal materials, and not a single word about anything else is mentioned.

Ruan Nanxing could only continue to search. After a while, she finally found a book called "Introduction to Alchemists" on the bookshelf. When she opened the first page, there were detailed steps for alchemy, from igniting the fire to the release of the elixir.

fall.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Ruan Nanxing held the book and read it carefully.

It turns out that there is no place to light a fire under the alchemy furnace. The flame must be put directly into the inside of the alchemy furnace. Generally, the alchemist will keep a fire in his body to control it easily. If there is no dedicated fire, flint can be used instead.

After the flame is placed, it is the next step to heat the furnace. Depending on the intensity of the flame, this step can take from a moment to half an hour and can be used to process medicinal materials.

After the medicinal materials are processed, put them into the alchemy furnace in order. This step is very important for flame control. If the temperature is high, it may be scorched. If the temperature is low, the medicinal materials will not melt for a long time and will lose their medicinal properties.

After the medicinal materials are completely refined and integrated, the next step is to simmer over a slow fire. The length of time also depends on the strength of the flame. Finally, the elixir is divided, and the fire is turned off and the furnace is turned on.

After reading the entire alchemy process, Ruan Nanxing couldn't help but frown. The refining and brewing stages were quite difficult. The main reason was that it was too difficult to control the fire. No wonder the alchemist had to raise his own fire.

"Sigh." Ruan Nanxing sighed, "Forget it, let's learn the Pill Splitting Technique first."

The Pill Splitting Technique is very simple and can be operated with one hand. It only requires five gestures before and after. Ruan Nanxing learned it in a short time, but the change speed is too slow and there will be a feeling of stagnation.

There is no way around this, you can only practice slowly.

It was almost time, Ruan Nanxing put the books back on the bookshelf and left his home. When he walked outside the courtyard, Gu Jiuzhou was already waiting at the edge of the medicine field, with a pile of wilted elixirs at his feet.

Ruan Nanxing went over and looked at them one by one, briefly classifying them according to the attributes of the five elements. She suddenly paused when she touched the last dark red vine. She didn't recognize this thing, and no information jumped out yet.

Embarrassed.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Jiuzhou, who looked at the medicine field and didn't know what he was thinking. She coughed lightly, attracting his attention, and then asked: "What is this?"

Gu Jiuzhou glanced lightly, "Bloodline Vine."

Ruan Nanxing was stunned for a moment. When he realized what he was doing, he raised his hand and threw the vine out. He shouted in shock and anger: "Why did you bring this thing back?! The blood-threaded vine can eat people!"

Gu Jiuzhou frowned slightly, as if he was dissatisfied with the noise, and said in a deep voice: "Domestic blood-threaded vines will not attack humans, and they can look after homes and homes."

Ruan Nanxing paused, "Really?"

Gu Jiuzhou stared at her and said, "This is common sense."

Ruan Nanxing snorted softly, feeling unreasonable and confident, "I have lost my memory, I don't remember."

Gu Jiuzhou was startled for a moment, then withdrew his gaze. When he spoke again, the impatience had disappeared, "The blood-threaded vine has a weak intelligence. Talk to it more when you water it every day. It will remember it when it grows up.

.”

Ruan Nanxing nodded thoughtfully, "It's like raising a child."

Gu Jiuzhou felt that her metaphor was not appropriate, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for the moment, so he nodded and said: "Absolutely."

Ruan Nanxing stared at the vine, "It won't eat people now, will it?"

Gu Jiuzhou said quietly: "No."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Nanxing walked over and picked up the blood-threaded vine, "Since you are looking after the home and courtyard, it is better to plant it in the yard."

Gu Jiuzhou looked at her back and asked puzzledly, "Aren't you afraid it will attack you?"

Ruan Nanxing turned around with a frightened expression, "Didn't you say it can't eat people?"

Do you believe what I said? Gu Jiuzhou had never seen someone who believed in others so easily. He felt complicated for a moment, and unknowingly he became more tolerant towards her.

With an inaudible sigh, Gu Jiuzhou said: "Yes, I don't eat people."

Ruan Nanxing thought about it but still felt uneasy, so he carefully raised the blood-threaded vine in front of Gu Jiuzhou, "You can keep it first, and then take it out to plant after you choose a place in the yard."

Gu Jiuzhou raised his eyebrows slightly and took the blood-threaded vine as he was told. He thought to himself, it's okay, he's not stupid.

After transferring the time bomb, Ruan Nanxing took out two hoes, one each for Gu Jiuzhou, and started digging a hole.

"It's like this, one pit per meter." Ruan Nanxing demonstrated, and when he put the hoe down, a perfect small pit appeared. "There are fewer medicines to be planted this time, and their properties are different, so we will be farther apart.

Next time we can be more intensive.”

Gu Jiuzhou didn't move and said quietly: "You don't have to dig out one by one, you can do it quickly with magic."

Ruan Nanxing clicked his tongue and said instructing: "Only things grown by one's own hands have feelings!"

A trace of confusion flashed in Gu Jiuzhou's eyes. What kind of emotion does it take to plant a medicine?
