Xiaoba's sense of smell is indeed admirable. His eye sensitivity and night vision are not as strong as Gufeng's, but when it comes to relying on his nose, Xiaoba is still a very powerful character.
Living in Tianhu for a long time, even if he is a powerful octagonal water dragon, Xiaoba still needs to eat. In the huge Tianhu, it is not easy to find food. He can smell it in the water. Food at a distance is a kind of survival ability in itself, not to mention that it is much easier in the open air when the two nostrils are not blocked by water.
Gu Feng pulled out a piece of grass from the tangled grass. The stems and leaves of this grass looked extremely ordinary, no different from other ordinary grasses, but the most special thing was its roots. The stems and leaves were not as thick as a chopstick but they grew. It has extremely fat roots, which are as big as an adult's hand clenched into a fist. The root hairs are bunched up in a mess, and the color is bright purple.
If you observe carefully, you will find that there will be no other plants growing within half a foot around this grass. It may be difficult to find this special herb from other professions, but this is also because this grass needs roots. The fertilizer is larger and needs to absorb more water and nutrients from the soil, making it difficult for other plants to grow around it.
But there are so many weeds with different shapes, it really takes some time and patience to carefully select them.
Xiaoba took the strange herb from Gu Feng's hand, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it gently, then smiled and said, "Master, rest, I will leave the rest to me."
When Gu Feng was still confused, he saw that he had transformed into a human form and lay on the ground with his hands. He gently closed his eyes and smelled hard. He seemed to have found the target. He raised his hand and pulled it out, and the herb Gu Feng needed was there. It was found so easily.
Seeing this situation, Gu Feng even thought about his good brother Dalong. If Dalong was here and he entered the ground to take a look, it would be like playing with diving bombs and giving these special herbs from the ground. Photograph it.
In just one stick of incense, a hill about half a meter high piled up in front of Gufeng.
The beast forest is rich in all kinds of precious medicinal herbs. It is impossible for Gu Feng to search carefully in the depths of the beast forest. However, there will be no powerful spiritual beasts in the edge of the beast forest. However, in comparison, the herbs here are not as deep as the beast forest. It's so precious.
The herb in front of me is called purple root grass. This kind of grass does not exist in Gufeng's hometown, Yanyue Continent. Gufeng also read about this kind of grass in a book when he was in the Ice and Fire Continent's Temple of All Things, and passed by here once. I just pulled out two of them and tried them, but I didn't expect the effect to be surprisingly good. Since I have Xiaoba's help this time, it wouldn't be a bad idea to save some more.
Purple root grass, as its name suggests, generally brightly colored herbs have two extremes, either containing highly toxic substances that cannot be cured, or they are good medicines that can cure diseases and save lives. Without the attempts of the ancients, who would dare to treat these for no reason? Use it as a medicine introduction.
"Master, these should be enough," Xiao Ba looked at the sparse grass around him, straightened up and asked.
Gu Feng nodded, "Thank you, it will be faster with your help."
Feng Wen'er asked from the side: "Gu Feng, do you want to use these herbs to directly crush them for external application or internal medicine, or do you want to refine them into elixirs for use?"
Generally, people who know how to make alchemy will know that some herbs need to be dried in the sun. Although the medicinal effect is not as obvious as when they are fresh, they can be stored for a long time. If the herbs are newly picked, they will become necrotic within two days and may cause necrosis. toxicity.
As for the elixir, it is even more unique. Not only can the essence of the medicine be locked in, but it is also easier to carry. In addition, the elixir is refined by special means, and its effect is better than All raw herbs, because there is a technique problem, which is the skill of alchemy.
What Gu Feng currently masters is some of the techniques he learned as a full-time Xuanling Master Suo in Yanyue Continent, and he has never really come into contact with them in Ice and Fire Continent.
I have long heard that Dihuotang is a master of medicine refining, and more than 80% of the elixirs sold in the entire Ice and Fire Continent come from Dihuotang.
Thinking of this, Gu Feng hurriedly asked: "Does Miss Wen'er know the techniques of alchemy?"
Feng Wen'er shook her head, Gu Feng was a little disappointed, but her next words made Gu Feng feel excited.
"Although I have not mastered any advanced alchemy techniques, I have seen Master Huo Sha refining elixirs several times, and I can remember some of them. By coincidence, I have seen this purple root grass before, and I know how to refine it. ,"
Gu Feng's eyes lit up, "Although the refining techniques of each herbal medicine can be the same, there are still some differences between medicines. If different targeted refining techniques can be used according to different herbal medicines, then the elixir will be The effect will be more obvious. Why don't you just tell me briefly now. If it is a simple technique, then practice it here. Maybe it will have a great effect in the Dihuo Hall."
Feng Wen'er didn't follow the ancient tradition. He first picked up a purple root grass and said: "Some herbs will be broken down one by one because of the different medicinal properties of their roots, stems and leaves, and then refined in batches, but this purple root grass is relatively It’s simple, and you can’t separate the roots, stems and leaves, because these all play a very important role,”
As he spoke, a ball of flame rose up in Feng Wen'er's palm.
Gu Feng's eyes widened in surprise, "Don't you need a cauldron to refine elixirs? I...I have one here,"
Feng Wen'er smiled slightly: "Really advanced refining techniques have abandoned some unnecessary cumbersome attacks. If the flame can be controlled to a proficient level and it can release the appropriate temperature within a predetermined range, , then refining the elixir can basically be done with the palm of your hand,"
Feng Wen'er's flames have landed on the purple root grass. In just an instant, the water in the purple root grass has been completely separated. But the strange thing is that the water has not left, and has not been melted and evaporated by the high-temperature flames. Instead, it has been hidden. At the bottom of the purple root grass in Feng Wen'er's palm, the water showed a light purple color.
Gu Feng opened his eyes wide and did not dare to make any omissions, for fear that if he missed something, his refining would be unsuccessful.
Seeing that all the water in the purple root grass has been forced out, although the shriveled purple root grass is still full, it is not as watery as before.
The hand with the flame gently picked up the whole hay. Feng Wen'er snorted softly and grabbed it hard with one hand. The hay had turned into a ball of purple powder. The amount of powder was based on the size of the purple root grass itself. It depends, of course, the amount of moisture in it also depends on the size.
"Because there is a certain limit to the degree to which ordinary herbs can be heated, our flames cannot heat them for too long, so as not to cause the herbs to burn, and the final step of tempering and shaping can be completed at the same time," he said , Feng Wen'er poured the purple powder into the lavender purple root herbal soup in the other hand, merged his hands again, and the flame suddenly became much stronger.
This is the final process of refining the elixir, quenching and shaping it.
Watching Feng Wen'er finish it all with a pair of eyes full of surprise, he suddenly threw his hands upward, and a purple pill as big as a meatball was thrown into the air. Gu Feng and Xiao Ba exclaimed in unison, "Wow,"
When the elixir fell steadily and landed in Feng Wen'er's hand, you could see a little pride on her face, but in an instant that pride disappeared and was replaced by a kind of self-mockery.
The alchemy techniques of Dihuotang are indeed amazing, but at this moment, Feng Wen'er feels a sense of shame because he was once a disciple of Dihuotang. After leaving Dihuotang, Feng Wen'er feels a little lonely. , helpless, if it weren't for Gu Feng, she might have pounced on the giant python Dahei again and suffered a lot. This situation has happened not once or twice these days.
Gu Feng patted her shoulder gently, as if he could see through everyone around him who was worried, and those comforting words could always make the other person's originally sad or unhappy mood soften.
"You are not alone, you have me as your friend,"
The word "friend" in Gu Feng's mouth made Feng Wen'er's chest hurt. She betrayed the sect and was seriously injured and risked her life to inform Gu Feng. What she got was just the word "friend", but what Gu Feng said next made her feel completely relieved. , because there is nothing to look forward to, "But you are a special friend of mine. People respect me as much as I respect others. You are not afraid to risk your life for me. Naturally, I can also abandon my life for you. Therefore, From today on, you are me and I am you. We are sworn brothers. How about it? You are a little older than me, so I obviously feel it is inappropriate to call you Miss Wen'er. From today on, I will call you Sister Wen'er. , and I hope you don’t dislike my younger brother,”
Feng Wen'er was stunned. She didn't know how to answer Gu Feng's words at this moment.
Originally, what she felt towards Gu Feng in her heart was not the love between sister and brother. She was moved by Gu Feng because she rarely had contact with men, let alone such an outstanding man as Gu Feng. But now things are not as imagined. This emotional transformation makes her She was very confused.
"Miss Wen'er, don't you want to recognize my master as my younger brother," Xiao Ba fanned the flames, but Feng Wen'er was even more at a loss.
Gu Feng smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you don't want to. We can still be friends. Of course, we can also be ordinary friends."
Feng Wen'er shook her head suddenly, "No, I agree,"
Sometimes the changes in relationships are not expected by everyone. Gu Feng is worried that the relationship between two people that should not happen will actually become a reality, so he will suddenly have this idea, and the relationship will change from friends to family or to family. If you fall in love, in the end you will become the most important person in Gufeng and you must protect it.
This may be the best choice, the best thing to take over.
After a long while, Gu Feng said: "Let me also try this strange alchemy technique. Don't tell me, I have never tried it before."
