Summary of the previous chapter: After Ma Xiaoquan and Ma Bing discussed it, they determined the preliminary implementation plan for the banquet. In order to implement the "Most Beautiful Lady" plan, Ma Xiaoquan not only had to pay for the jade pendant obtained from the young emperor Liu Xie by the Emperor Ling as a gift to his beloved concubine, but also
There is still a need to refine elixirs. Of course, Ma Xiaoquan actually doesn't know how to refine any elixirs, but Yuan gave him a recipe called Wuji Baifeng Pills...
Yuan told Ma Xiaoquan the formula of Wuji Baifeng Pills. After getting the formula, Ma Xiaoquan was also quite surprised.
Although Ma Xiaoquan does not know medical skills, Ma Xiaoquan knows the names of many medicinal materials required in the formula. Of course, due to the differences between ancient times and modern times, although these medicinal materials are the same, their names are somewhat different. Fortunately, Diao Chan likes them better.
Studying medical skills, Ma Xiaoquan also learned a lot about it when he was in the Ma Family Courtyard.
Ma Xiaoquan wrote down the recipe and gave it to Ma Yu, asking him to prepare the medicinal materials.
After half a day, Ma Yu collected various medicinal materials and excitedly told Ma Xiaoquan that the major drug stores in Xiangyang had heard about the elixir made by Shenxian Hou and sold the medicinal materials at half price.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and asked in surprise: "Why, am I so famous?"
Ma Yu shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't know, but Master, it is said that a kind of elixir has been circulated in Xiangyang recently, called the elixir of immortality. I don't know who made the elixir, but it is said that it saved the life of the current emperor. Everyone.
They say that the only person in the world who can be called a god is you, so...these pharmacies are half price..."
"Elixir of Immortality?" Ma Xiaoquan was shocked and thought to himself: What bullshit elixir is it? Is that a horse urine elixir? Damn it, it's been almost 20 years. I didn't expect that those fake elixirs I made would end up in the world.
It’s Jingzhou.
Ma Xiaoquan pretended to be calm and said: "Oh? It's so magical. Have you found out where it is?"
Ma Yu said: "I haven't replied to the master yet, it's just a rumor among the people."
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and waved his hand: "It's okay, Ma Yu, get ready. I'm going to start refining the elixir. Tell your father and others not to disturb me."
Ma Yu asked respectfully: "Master, what if Miss Murong comes?"
Ma Xiaoquan's eyes were sharp: "She is not allowed, without any reason. Do you understand?"
"yes!"
...
After giving all the instructions, Ma Xiaoquan ordered the servants of the Ma family to carry the medicinal materials into a room. Then he closed the door tightly and saw no outsiders.
In the past two days, no one knew what happened in the house, and no one knew how Ma Xiaoquan refined the elixir in the house.
The servants of the Ma family only bring meals to the room at a fixed time every day, and then they will occasionally see Ma Xiaoquan come out to use the toilet, and even see him come out to take a bath every half a day because he loves to be clean.
Ma Bing was very curious about what was inside the house. He took Ma Xiaoquan out of the house to take a bath and sneaked in secretly.
The medicinal smell in the house is very strong, and after smelling it for a long time, it is still a bit unbearable.
Before it was time to burn the incense, the cavalry soldiers rushed out of the house holding their noses.
Ma Bing felt that there was nothing unusual about what he saw in the house just now, except for medicinal materials. However, what made Ma Bing very curious was that he did not see an alchemy furnace or an alchemy cauldron.
Ma Bing is also a knowledgeable person. When he was very young, he saw some charlatans refining elixirs. At that time, the iconic object around them was the alchemy furnace.
There are large and small alchemy furnaces. The small one is at most as big as a pair of adult hands, but the large one is as big as a carriage.
Unable to help being curious, Ma Bing secretly pulled his son Ma Yu over and asked, "Why haven't I seen Master Shangxian's alchemy furnace?"
Dad's question just piqued Ma Yu's curiosity, and Ma Yu said: "Dad, don't tell me you haven't seen it before. When I was at the master's house, I didn't see any type of alchemy furnace."
Ma Bing said: "You mean that Master Shangxian doesn't need an alchemy furnace to make alchemy?"
Ma Yu shook his head: "I don't know, but I heard Ma Yun say that he had seen his master make alchemy. It seems that he didn't use the alchemy furnace or the alchemy cauldron."
Ma Bing asked: "What did Ma Yun say?"
Ma Yu recalled for a moment and said: "Ma Yun said that the master crushed the medicinal materials into powder and then pinched it in his hand."
The horse soldier slapped his son on the head and cursed: "That's nonsense, how can anyone make elixirs like this?"
Ma Yu rubbed his head and cried out: "Is that what Ma Yun said? I haven't seen it either?"
The horse soldier waved his hand: "Get out of here, you brat, you're talking nonsense."
Ma Yu reluctantly bowed slightly to his father and quietly retreated.
...
At night, the cavalry general Ma Yu called to his side again and asked Ma Yu for the recipe for Ma Xiaoquan's elixir.
Several doctors were called in overnight to inquire, and the cavalry soldiers suddenly felt something strange.
These doctors are all well-known in Xiangyang, and their medical skills are quite superb. After asking around, these doctors all answered basically the same questions.
"Women's food?" The horse soldier stood up, shaking the formula in his hand in disbelief.
A doctor stood up, bowed slightly, and said politely: "Yes, Mr. Ma, judging from our decades of practicing medicine, the medicinal materials required in this formula are definitely for women to adjust their bodies."
"This..." Ma Bing was speechless.
After waiting for a while, the horse soldier said: "Thank you, everyone. You can stay in the humble house tonight. The Ma family's carriage will send you back tomorrow. By the way, I will give each of you a hundred guan."
Several doctors looked at each other, raised their hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ma."
The cavalry soldier grunted and gave way alone.
Returning to his bedroom, Ma Bing couldn't sleep. The lady beside him had been asleep for a long time. Ma Bing was afraid of disturbing her, so he could only put on his clothes and leave the bedroom, standing in the small courtyard in front of the house and meditating alone.
Ma Bing really couldn't understand how a person who didn't use an alchemy furnace could refine elixirs. Is it really like what his son Ma Yu said, just squeeze it with your hands?
The cavalryman laughed. He didn't sleep that night.
...
Ma Xiaoquan didn't know that Ma Bing had entered his room, because all the furnishings in the room were actually used by Ma Xiaoquan to deceive others, and the actual medicinal materials used were less than 10 flavors at most.
"Yuan, do you think if I do this, will it arouse suspicion?" Ma Xiaoquan asked Yuan.
Yuan smacked his left eye with disdain and said: "Doubt? If you don't do this, people will doubt you. You are a bad guy. When you come to this era, you don't do anything bad, but you want to give yourself a title.
With the ruined reputation of Lord Immortal, tell me, are you trying to trap yourself?"
Ma Xiaoquan said dissatisfied: "Look what you said, if I wasn't in this capacity, do you think that guy Cao Cao could be so polite to me?"
Yuan snorted: "You only have so many reasons. Okay, let's get ready to make Black-bone Baifeng Pills. You've been pretending for several days, and it's time to get results."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and asked: "How do you do this without an alchemy furnace?"
Yuandao: "What kind of bullshit alchemy furnace can you use? Just rub it with your hands and then squeeze it."
Ma Xiaoquan exclaimed: "Look at this medicine, it smells so strong. You said it was fine last time when you pinched the pill, but this time..."
Yuan scolded: "Stop talking nonsense, you are stupid! Your soul is weak..."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to start rubbing.
After rubbing a few pills, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly smiled.
"What are you laughing at?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said: "I think of the dumpling wrappers my mother made. Haha, roll the dough into a thin cylinder, then pick off each wrapper with your hands, then round and roll out the wrappers. This is simply...
There are different approaches but the same purpose, haha..."
Yuan snorted angrily and stopped talking.
After kneading the pills, Ma Xiaoquan had to follow Yuan's instructions and squeeze the pills one by one into porcelain with his hands. Only then could he complete the preparation of the pill embryos.
"Now, what should we do now?"
Yuandao: "Of course it was roasted over fire."
Ma Xiaoquan said depressedly: "Roast it with fire? If you roast it with fire, all the medicinal effects will be gone."
Yuan scolded: "You idiot, an idiot with an IQ of only 90, don't you know how to use the Green Spirit Fire?"
Ma Xiaoquan scolded back: "You are the fool. Green Spirit Fire can burn any object. Once I lose control of my consciousness, all the elixir will be destroyed."
Yuan hummed: "Then you can make your consciousness stronger."
Ma Xiaoquan curled his lips: "How can you be so strong?"
Yuandao: "You can think of the elixir as your clothes. You see, every time you use the green spirit fire or the green spirit aura, your clothes and items on your body will not be burned. Well, there are also
Last time, you held Ma Yu and Murong Ziyan in your arms without burning their clothes, so just think of the elixir as your personal clothes..."
Ma Xiaoquan thought in his heart and did as Yuan said.
Holding the elixir in his hand, Ma Xiaoquan gently closed his eyes, and after a moment of concentration, green flames immediately ignited in his hand.
Sure enough, as Yuan said, after thinking of the elixir as his own personal clothing, he really would not burn the elixir. However... just when the elixir in his hand was about to succeed, Ma Xiaoquan's consciousness suddenly
I was blurry, and some unhealthy pictures immediately popped into my mind.
"Hundan, if you don't refine the elixir properly, what are you thinking about?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, patted the pill on his hand that was burned to ashes by the green spirit fire, and said: "I can't hold it back, I haven't been intimate with a woman in a while, hehe..."
Yuan scolded: "Hundan, do your best and tell you the good news. I can feel that your Ling'er wife is coming soon."
Ma Xiaoquan was amused.
Yuan is the heart of time, and Ling'er has a fragment of the soul of space on his right hand. They are one body. Yuan said that as long as they are within a certain range, they will be able to feel each other.
