Chapter 16 The first alchemy

When she came out of the training room, Ruan Nanxing discovered that the sun had passed the zenith and headed west. Unknowingly, so much time had passed. She looked at Medicine Master Yang and said, "Master, I will come back to you tomorrow."

Pharmacist Yang nodded, "Go back and master the sapphire. You can't rush the alchemy thing, you need to accumulate it."

Ruan Nanxing responded, turned around and was about to leave when he was stopped again. Pharmacist Yang asked: "What have you eaten these days?"

Ruan Nanxing felt a little guilty. She didn't eat anything except water, so she said vaguely: "Just eat something."

Pharmacist Yang frowned, turned over his hand and took out a brocade bag, and handed it over, "Here are the seeds of blood rice. You can plant them when you go back. They will mature in half a month. You should have a bowl of blood rice every day, don't eat too much."

Ruan Nanxing took the bag, opened it and took out a ruby-like grain of rice.

——Blood rice, a kind of rice, has no attributes. Long-term consumption can strengthen the body and improve physical condition. It is one of the staple foods of most monks.

Ruan Nanxing thanked his master and asked Youyou to walk up the mountain together after leaving the courtyard.

Youyou asked as she walked: "Sister, are you going to start practicing? Grandpa Yang said that he will accept you as a closed disciple."

Ruan Nanxing held her hand with a bit of expectation in his eyes, "Yes, my sister will cover all the elixirs Youyou will use for practice in the future!"

Youyou's eyes lit up, "Really? Mom said that elixirs are very precious, even those sold in the city are expensive. I can only get one during the Chinese New Year..." Speaking of this, Youyou said reluctantly.

: "Forget it, sister, you should keep your elixirs for yourself, or take them to the city and sell them! You can exchange them for a lot of things!"

Ruan Nanxing's heart moved, "Has Youyou been to the city?"

Youyou shook his head and pouted: "I'm too young, and the journey is slow. My mother won't take me there."

Ruan Nanxing was thoughtful and yearned for the city.

The big one and the small one soon returned to the mountain. The medicine field was still the same, and the door of the courtyard was still ajar, just like before.

Ruan Nanxing had a bad feeling. She pushed the door and went straight to the guest room. Just as she was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, the door opened by itself. The slender man lowered his eyes and looked at her calmly, "Is something wrong?"

The distance between the two was only a little more than one meter. Ruan Nanxing could only raise her head slightly and said with a smile: "I thought you were not at home." After a pause, she added: "Actually, I wanted to ask you if you want to go to the city.

Wandering around?”

Gu Jiuzhou's expression did not change when he heard this. He was silent for two seconds before nodding, "Call me when you leave." Then he nodded coldly and closed the door.

Ruan Nanxing couldn't help but rolled his eyes, he was so tall.

Inside the door, Gu Jiuzhou sighed softly. It was just a matter of understanding the life of ordinary people. After all, this was the life he planned to live for the rest of his life.

"Sister..." A slightly resentful voice came from below.

Ruan Nanxing looked down and saw that Youyou's eyes were red and she looked like she was about to cry. She raised her hand decisively and knocked on the door again. When the door opened, she pushed Youyou in and said, "The little girl wants to see you for something, please play with her for a while.

Stop crying, or the whole village down the mountain will eat you alive!"

After threatening her, Ruan Nanxing quickly closed the door, giving Gu Jiuzhou no chance to refuse. But she didn't leave either. She just stood at the door and listened to what was going on in the room. She didn't feel relieved until the little girl let out a series of exclamations and laughter.

Go back to your room.

As usual, Ruan Nanxing returned home as soon as the door closed.

Not far away, Gu Jiuzhou, who was coaxing his children, tilted his head towards the backyard without any trace, as if he was aware of it, but then he answered the little girl's weird questions as if nothing had happened.

Can't wait to run to the alchemy room, Ruan Nanxing waved his hand and put the sapphire into the alchemy furnace. The cyan gauze fell into the furnace and turned into a jade-like flame, and then the temperature in the furnace rose rapidly.

Ruan Nanxing's eyes lit up slightly, the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably, and she giggled for two seconds. She moved again, and quickly processed all the medicinal materials for refining the Pill.

Finally, Ruan Nanxing put the first medicinal material into the alchemy furnace. Before she could take her hand back, she heard a "whoosh" sound, and in the blink of an eye, the medicinal material was reduced to ashes.

Ruan Nanxing: "..." The alchemy furnace is too hot.

She frowned and recalled that when she was just processing the medicinal materials, although her speed was not the fastest, she was still methodical and did not waste any time. Logically speaking, the alchemy furnace should not be so hot.

There is only one possibility: her sapphire is too strong and the alchemy furnace heats up too quickly.

Ruan Nanxing thought for a while, took the sapphire back, waited for the alchemy furnace to cool down before putting the sapphire back in, and then immediately put in the medicinal materials...

After observing for a while, she breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally refining normally.

Next, Ruan Nanxing threw medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace while trying to control the temperature of the sapphire. Doing two things at once inevitably made him confused and lost sight of the other. But fortunately, although the process was stumbling, the final result was good, and the medicinal materials needed for the Huali Pill were

All refining is completed.

Next, just focus on controlling the fire and simmer slowly.

Ruan Nanxing has always been attentive to her work, especially when it comes to controlling fire. She cannot be distracted at all. When the elixir was boiled and she played the formula for dividing the elixir, and six elixirs appeared in the elixir furnace, she realized that it was already dark outside.

.

"Oops!" Ruan Nanxing didn't care about collecting the pills, and hurriedly left his home and walked quickly to the guest room.

The door to the guest room was open, and orange light shone out from inside. In the dark night, there was a warm feeling. She slowed down unconsciously, and when she regained consciousness, she had already arrived at the door.

In the room, Gu Jiuzhou was sitting at the table reading a book. When he saw her coming, he was the first to speak: "Youyou went back before dinner, and Yaotian also looked at it. There is nothing unusual."

Ruan Nanxing felt like he was being choked. After being silent for two seconds, he politely said, "Thank you. I... fell asleep after returning to the room and just woke up."

Gu Jiuzhou said "huh" in a neutral tone, not sure whether he believed it or not.

Ruan Nanxing observed him for two seconds. Unfortunately, apart from the fact that the face became more and more beautiful the more he looked at it, there was really no emotion at all.

"Anything else?" Gu Jiuzhou asked.

Ruan Nanxing came to her senses and said, "It's okay, go to bed early, good night." After saying that, she turned and left.

Gu Jiuzhou's posture, which had always been leisurely, paused slightly, and he was a little distracted. He couldn't remember how long it had been since no one said good night to him. Maybe the last time was when he was a child?

Ruan Nanxing returned home again, picked out the Pills, packed them in empty bottles on the medicine shelf, and planned to take them down the mountain tomorrow and show them to Master.

Before going to bed, she was still a little uneasy, a little nervous as when she was a child and had her homework corrected by the teacher in front of her.

When I woke up early the next morning, the sunflowers and sunflowers in the vegetable garden were already ripe.

Ruan Nanxing recalled while harvesting, always feeling that the elixir grew faster this time. Just when the last medicinal plant was put away, the familiar thick white fog suddenly appeared again.
