Chapter 17 Passing the third grade pharmacist examination
The main medicine is put into a pot-shaped vessel, and it quickly turns into a red liquid. Strengthening medicines are all of this color. The key to medicine lies in the control of the heat. Eyesight and technique are important, but this cannot be difficult for Shi Jue.
.
The second flavor was added again. The liquid turned bright red, as bright red as blood. The boiling water allowed the two colors to dissolve into one.
The third taste...
The fourth taste...
The potion turned brown. After touching it for about ten minutes, Shi Jue pressed a switch on the medicine stove. The transparent pot-shaped vessel sank into the medicine pot. A transparent crystal-like observation hole on the medicine stove could be seen.
changes inside.
Shi Jue held the fire control switch with a solemn expression and adjusted it carefully. This is the most critical time. How the pill is controlled determines success or failure, as well as the quality of the pill and the quantity of the finished product.
The liquid medicine slowly evaporated and turned into brown mercury, turning into six drops that kept rolling in the vessel. Shi Jue's face became serious as he increased the firepower. The brown liquid solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Shi Jue hurriedly lowered the firepower slowly and entered the stage of accumulating elixirs. The preparation of elixirs is divided into four stages: refining, fusion, condensation and accumulating elixirs. As long as nothing happens, the elixir will be ready in a few minutes. The higher the level, the better.
The longer the elixir was stored, the longer it took. But Shi Jue did not relax, staring at the changes in the elixir in the container with all his attention, appreciating the medicinal methods in the Medicine Sect's holy book.
The fire was turned off by Shi Jue, and he wiped the sweat from his head. He was still too nervous.
Three minutes later, the pot-shaped vessel rose up under Shi Jue's operation. Six brown-red body strengthening pills appeared in the vessel, exuding a faint fragrance. Shi Jue raised his head and looked at the old man.
"Okay! Six perfect elixirs. The first-grade assessment passed." The old man nodded with satisfaction and asked: "Young man, do you want to conduct the second round of assessment?"
Shi Jue nodded. Then he put six elixirs into elixir bottles.
"Young man, do you want to take a rest?" the old man asked with concern.
Shi Jue shook his head.
The old man took out an envelope sealed with fire wax from a box next to him. He opened it and looked at it before placing it on Shi Jue's table. Then he entered the warehouse to get the materials.
The second-grade elixir Tongluo Dan is mainly used as an auxiliary elixir for first- to third-grade warriors to practice their skills. It is an elixir that warriors must prepare. It is also the top second-grade elixir. Shi Jue's luck is not very good.
The assessments were all based on prescriptions for mid-level elixirs of that level, but the one Shi Jue drew was a top-level elixir, which was no less difficult than a third-level elixir.
Six medicinal materials were placed in front of Shi Jue. One main medicine and five auxiliary medicines. Shi Jue had almost completed the research on the elixir. He opened the medicine stove and added raw water to the pot-shaped vessel.
Boiling! Shi Jue hurriedly put the main medicine into the vessel, and it immediately turned into a green liquid. The second, third, fourth, fifth, and fifth medicinal materials were put into the medicine in turn. The main medicine is a highly volatile medicinal material.
If the technique is too slow, the medicinal properties will be lost.
When the last medicinal material was put into the liquid, the strong smell of the medicine slowly faded away. The liquid turned brown-green. Shi Jue suddenly increased the firepower to the maximum. During the boiling process, the six medicinal liquids became more and more intense.
become more uniform.
As the color changed, Shi Jue slowly weakened the firepower. He did not relax at all. When the liquid medicine was concentrated to one-third, Shi Jue controlled the vessel to enter the furnace body and once again reduced the firepower.
Ten minutes later, the liquid medicine was divided into five parts. It was rolled in the vessel and slowly solidified. It entered the elixir accumulation stage. Shi Jue once again adjusted the firepower and slowly fired the elixir.
Twenty minutes later, five brown-green pills were released.
"Five perfect elixirs, passed the second-grade test." The old man said a little excitedly. Genius! The fifteen-year-old second-grade pharmacist can at least be called a little genius. Especially his demeanor during the preparation process is consistent with the legendary one.
The heart of medicine is very close. The heart of medicine is a state and a kind of understanding.
"Young man, do you want to continue?" the old man asked. If he passes the three tests, this young man can definitely be regarded as a genius among the pharmacists in Longquan Mainland.
"Yeah." Shi Jue nodded.
The old man took out an envelope from the third box. He opened it and looked at it, his face became a little solemn. Then he handed the envelope to Shi Jue and turned around to prepare the medicine.
Low-level barrier-breaking elixir, top-level third-level elixir. Used for low-level warriors to break through the barriers of martial arts. There are ten medicinal materials in total. One main medicine and nine auxiliary medicines. Normal third-level elixir recipes use six to seven medicinal materials, but this recipe has
Ten flavors are required. The quantity and volatility of the medicinal materials in the elixir determine the difficulty of refining the elixir. This elixir has both difficulties.
The characteristics of the ten medicinal herbs were constantly being arranged in Shi Jue's mind. The last plan was finalized by him.
He looked at the ten medicinal materials placed in front of him, and then poured raw water into the vessel. The old man also stared nervously at Shi Jue's operation. His success rate in making the elixir according to this recipe was not high. Maybe.
I can make ordinary sixth-grade elixirs by myself, but it is very difficult to make this elixir recipe.
As soon as the main medicine was put in, the first auxiliary medicine was immediately put into the original solution. The two medicines blended in the medicine liquid, and the first bubble appeared. Shi Jue immediately put in the second auxiliary medicine.
The bubbles disappeared, and the three-color medicinal liquid alternated between blue, red, and green in the original water, reflecting colorful lights. The third auxiliary medicine was added, and the medicinal liquid turned into four colors.
Five, six, and two more auxiliary medicines were put into the vessel. Shi Jue stopped. The seven colors in the vessel were perfectly displayed. The old man looked at this scene in surprise. This was definitely an innovation! Even at his level
It is impossible to analyze the reasons and reasons why Shi Jue did this.
The relationship between the main drug and the auxiliary drugs is to stabilize the properties of the drug, limit the negative effects of the main drug on the human body, enhance the positive effects of the main drug on the human body, and improve the elixir-making rate. Every elixir recipe and elixir-making step is carefully prepared after a long process.
Years of experience have accumulated, and it is not something that can be changed just by changing it. But Shi Jue has obviously changed the steps of making elixirs.
The seven colors intertwined together to form five vortices. At this moment, Shi Jue put the other three auxiliary medicines into the vessel at once. In an instant, the colorful light disappeared and turned into five groups of liquid medicine. Shi Jue increased his size at this time.
gained firepower.
The raw water slowly evaporated, and the five pill liquids became more and more pure. They showed a golden-purple luster. Shi Jue operated the vessel and sank into the alchemy furnace.
In half an hour, the five pills were liquefied into five golden and purple pills.
"Bang!"
The lid of the alchemy furnace was opened, and the pot-shaped vessel rose up. The old man couldn't wait to pick up an elixir, smelled it, and then looked at it carefully.
"Master." Shi Jue shouted.
"Young man, how did you do it?..." The old man grabbed Shi Jue's arm and asked excitedly.
"I...I just followed the master's teachings..." Shi Jianjian didn't want to reveal anything about the Medicine Sect's Holy Code, so he had to find a master for himself?
"Young man, who is your master?" the old man asked anxiously.
"I... the master didn't tell me my name..." Shi Jue said: "He said that I could become a master, so he kicked me out of the master's door and asked me to test the medicine hall token first so that I can travel to Longquan Continent."
"Oh." The old man let go of Shi Jue's arm in disappointment and said, "I was so excited just now."
"Master, did I pass the test?" Shi Jue asked.
"Five perfect elixirs, passed the third-grade assessment." The old man said: "Young man, what's your name? I want to report your situation to the headquarters of the medicine hall, you are a genius!"
"Master, my name is Shi Jue." Shi Jue said. He didn't care whether he went to the medicine hall or not, he just wanted to have an identity to travel around the world.
