Chirp after chirp, Mulan is weaving in every household.
Xu Tonghui's refining of medicine is actually similar to Hua Mulan's weaving, that is, step by step, thread by thread.
The first step is to collect medicinal materials.
With Xu Yishan's help, this step became much easier.
Collecting all 351 plants and trees seems not much harder than 351 breaths.
Xu Yishan is not a pharmacist, but he is a strong man with a photographic memory. In addition, he is also the master of the county governor's mansion.
Although the process of refining the medicine needs to be kept secret, the collection of plants and trees only needs to be done without fanfare, and Xu Yishan's retreat place, even if it is only the outer periphery, is not allowed to be spied on by others.
In fact, this is not only the case in Xu Yishan's retreat, but also in all the "spiritual places" divided into the Dongshan Mountains.
They are both spiritual places and "forbidden places".
But even so, Xu Yishan just asked Xue Shouyi to find a few confidants to do this.
It only took three days in total!
However, after collecting these plants, Xue Shouyi behaved a little strangely. He quietly said to Xu Yishan in private, "Master, most of these plants and trees are not medicinal materials."
"More than half? How much is it specifically?" Xu Yishan asked with interest.
"There are probably more than two hundred kinds, none of which are included in the herbal medicine manual of the Medicine Master Hall. There are at least seventy or eighty kinds. Although they are medicinal herbs, they have no medicinal properties."
"There are only a dozen types of truly high-grade medicinal herbs."
Needless to say, he must have memorized all of those dozens.
Of course, he should have roughly memorized all 351 species. There would be no problem in at least collecting these plants and trees again.
Xu Yishan shook his head, then smiled and said, "There is nothing wrong with the records of the Medicine Master Hall."
Xue Shouyi had been following Xu Yishan for who knows how many years. At this moment, he knew what his master meant.
There is nothing wrong with the Yakushido records, but the level is not high enough.
Well, that's what my master probably meant.
However, his level of participation only went so far. Later, he and several others were driven back by Xu Yishan.
All the necessary tools, etc., have already been provided.
On a new day, after completing his routine morning exercises in the morning, Xu Tonghui officially started refining medicine.
While Xu Yishan watched, he helped out and even acted as a laborer.
At the beginning, it is basically extracted, some are soaked in cold water, some are boiled in boiling water, some are squeezed to extract the juice, and so on.
The various extraction methods were an eye-opener for Xu Yishan.
Looking at it, Xu Yishan even thought in his mind whether he would also learn to make medicine in the future. It looked quite interesting.
It’s not bad to use it as a pastime after practicing.
In the past two hundred years, Xu Yishan has specialized in spiritual practice and has rarely dabbled in other subjects. The most he can do is write and draw with a pen on paper. At this time, he suddenly felt that maybe, from now on, he could dabble in some miscellaneous subjects.
.
Xu Tonghui's medicine refining process presented a complex contradiction in Xu Yishan's eyes.
Sometimes Xu Tonghui seems to be sure of everything, but he makes a mistake when doing a certain step. Sometimes he is very hesitant and appears to be extremely cautious, but in the end, he does that step quite smoothly.
This situation has occurred more than once, and it is almost full of the entire process of handling medicinal materials and simple combinations of medicines!
Xu Yishan couldn't help but hesitated to speak.
What is this...?
Xu Tonghui also had a headache. Although the experience in the dream was extremely clear, it still made it impossible for him not to panic.
In fact, he has never done this before!
He was able to perform such a complicated operation as soon as he got started. The young master really thinks highly of him!
During a break, Xu Tonghui said to Xu Yishan a little embarrassedly, "It's my first time to make this kind of medicine. I don't know how to get it, and I don't know what the result will be after making it."
Xu Yishan nodded obediently.
Anyway, he is just a tool, and there is no need to ask questions. Most of the time, he just needs to look with his eyes.
Extraction is the first step, then synthesis.
There is nothing much to say about extraction. Although there are various extraction methods, they are actually very simple in essence. Any child can understand it, let alone Xu Yishan.
But when it comes to the synthesis step, it is not something that a layman can understand simply by looking at it.
This layman not only includes Xu Yishan, but also Xu Tonghui!
The people who were watching the refining of the medicine on the side and the people who were refining the medicine themselves were dazzled and dizzy together!
Speaking of which, this can be said to be one of the wonders of the ages.
Xu Yishan would not have thought that he was actually experiencing or watching such a bizarre thing.
There are 351 kinds of medicinal materials, many of which are extracted in the form of juice. Then, some are two types combined together, and some are three, four, five types combined together.
When combined together, some green colors suddenly turn into black, some red and yellow colors suddenly turn into purple, etc.
This is a change in color, and in terms of taste, sometimes it appears aromatic, sometimes it appears pungent, and sometimes it even appears foul-smelling!
This made Xu Yishan look at Xu Tonghui with a strange look. What kind of medicine did you make? Is it for external use or internal use?
It's easy to say for external use.
If it is taken internally, will it kill the person after one pill is taken?
Not to mention Xu Yishan, Xu Tonghui himself was unsure!
Seeing all the messy reactions, he was also frightened!
Is it possible that a certain medicinal material is unqualified? A few of the more than 300 kinds are unqualified, causing the entire medicine refining to fail?
Could it be that he made a little too much of some medicinal ingredients? Or maybe he made a little less of other ingredients? Then the whole thing went astray? Otherwise, why is there still a stench?
With so many steps, if any of the previous steps goes wrong, even if it’s just a small mistake, will it cause all the subsequent steps to go wrong?
The further back he went, the more unsure Xu Tonghui felt!
Master, you have caused me harm!
You believe me, but I don’t believe in myself!
It was the first time that Xu Tonghui had to take on such a "heavy burden". It was physically and mentally exhausted, and he felt it was harder than anything else. Anyway, he had never been so frightened and trembling in his life.
This was actually because he was overthinking.
Why are there 351 medicinal materials?
It’s not that this medicine really requires so many medicinal materials, but only by simplifying it and making it complex can the difficulty be made easy.
It’s so easy that even a raw melon egg like Xu Tonghui can operate it!
It sounds simple, but the complexity, the chain reactions step by step, and the various details such as "error immunity" are really something that only a large master and a great master can handle.
And even Xu Guangling in his previous life was far from reaching this height.
Taking this medicine as an example, the theory was completed, the practice was completed, and then when the entire idea of reducing simplicity into complexity was also completely completed in the deduction, a certain "Tao" also reduced complexity into simplicity and came to his consciousness.
heart.
It was a sudden enlightenment.
To use a somewhat mysterious term from the past life, it is called "sudden enlightenment".
Xu Guangling clearly felt that he had opened up another important key in the "medicine" system, and his overall level had risen to a higher level.
If the level of "big sect" is also divided into levels, then his current big sect is obviously different from the big sect in his previous life.
And this progress is not only brought about by the rising tide of spiritual practice.
What is more, it is a breakthrough in the medicine system itself.
And this kind of breakthrough even has a subtle reverse impact on some ideas based on spiritual practice.
This also made Xu Guangling very happy.
He was walking on the path he had designed before.
Radiating the "majority" with the "grand master" will make all major fields rise.
Inspire the "Grand Master" with the "big sect", and through hundreds of thousands of great sects, through bits and pieces of revelation, from all directions and angles, we continuously lay the foundation for the great master's progress in all aspects.
It's like the body and mind turn around each other.
"Big Master" and "Grand Master" also transform each other, forming a never-ending two-way cycle.
Xu Guangling became more and more aware of the bonuses and fun this cycle brought to him.
The road does not get narrower and narrower.
On the contrary, the more he moved forward, the more he felt the endless width and vastness ahead.
Since the correctness of this design has been confirmed, Xu Guangling does not mind cultivating more "majors", and even, on the road to becoming a "god", he does not mind reincarnating in a few more worlds.
Each world should have some unique areas of development.
These fields are both flowers and fruits.
It is worthy of his appreciation and worthy of his taste.
Life is just soil, and civilization is growth. Without growth, the existence of soil is meaningless.
