"Then you'd better not come to pick me up." Xuanmu muttered in a low voice after Yin Ning left. Then he poured all the spiritual herbs into the alchemy furnace and closed the lid again.
Just when Xuanmu was about to throw the fire talisman into the alchemy furnace again, the old man who was called Old Ghost by Yin Ning but was Master Xuanmu came out to speak. He said: "Are you planning to make alchemy in this hall again?
"
"Yes, is there anything wrong?" Xuanmu asked in a surprised tone.
"Humph, what's wrong? Are you embarrassed to ask me? Don't you know how to look at the beams above your head?" the old man said angrily.
When Xuanmu heard this, his mind moved. He looked up and saw that the beams above his head were a mass of ink black, probably blackened. But what does this have to do with him? Xuanmu was puzzled.
"Take out your little alchemy furnace quickly." The master spoke again, and Xuanmu had no choice but to move the alchemy furnace into the small yard.
"Hey! This old man didn't have this attitude yesterday." Xuanmu thought about it in his mind as he walked. He was confused for a moment, and then remembered Yin Ning's attitude towards him just now. It seemed that because of what happened just now, the old man
He immediately changed his face.
"Who made me powerless?" Xuanmu whispered, then threw the fire talisman into the alchemy furnace again and started refining the elixir over and over again.
Finally, after a day of refining, a fragrant fragrance finally came out of the alchemy furnace. Xuanmu opened the alchemy furnace with joy, but he didn't seem to see anything inside the alchemy furnace.
Xuanmu looked at it intently again. Good guy, he actually refined a pill the size of a mouse excrement inside.
He poured the elixir out of the elixir furnace, and saw a small black mouse excrement appearing in front of his eyes. Fortunately, he sniffed it with his nose and it still had some medicinal fragrance, otherwise he would have thought it was really a pill.
Rat shit.
No matter how you look at it, this elixir is not as good-looking as the greenish wood spirit elixir you received from the Kunlun Sect. However, Xuanmu still plans to test the elixir on his own body. After swallowing this dark elixir,
After that, Xuanmu felt that the elixir was gradually refined into powder by his spiritual power, but there were still some black residues that could never be refined.
"Not only is the spiritual energy not that strong, but it also seems to taste bitter." Xuanmu murmured to himself as he poured more herbs into the alchemy furnace.
"Xuanmu, does it say on the jade slip that so many herbs should be poured in?" At this moment, the old master suddenly shouted angrily.
Xuanmu's hands trembled in shock, and all the herbs in his hands were poured into the alchemy furnace.
"You kid, do you really think that medicinal herbs are free? Putting so much at one time is a waste of my efforts. Where are the elixirs you made?" The old man was obviously quite dissatisfied with Xuanmu's generosity, and left after scolding him.
Come.
"I took the elixir." Xuanmu also replied confidently.
"What? Did you eat it? I asked you to learn alchemy, not to take the elixir." The old man's face was cold, and his old face was filled with anger.
"You didn't say you couldn't take pills yesterday." Xuanmu answered confidently again.
"Strong words and fallacies." The old man's face turned red with anger. After his anger gradually subsided, he said: "Don't put so many medicinal materials in the future. Match them according to the proportions on the jade slips. The elixirs refined every day must be mixed on time.
Hand in quantity. Do you hear me?"
"Got it." Xuanmu replied lazily. Then he went back to refining the elixir. This time he had to pour out all the medicinal materials in the elixir furnace, and then according to the proportion, not a penny more, but not a penny.
Dare to pour as little as possible into the alchemy furnace.
Another afternoon passed in the blink of an eye, and Xuanmu finally refined a decent Wood Spirit Pill.
When he excitedly came to the master with the elixir, the old man curled his lips, looked at the dark wood spirit elixir, and finally threw it to Xuanmu, sneering and saying: "You idiot
It’s better to take the elixir yourself and eat it!”
Xuanmu's mouth was also crooked, he took the Wood Spirit Pill with some dissatisfaction, threw it into his mouth, and then said: "You made me eat it yourself."
After he finished eating very cleverly, he asked this question again. I don't know whether it was to anger the old man, or whether he was really afraid that the old man would regret it. Anyway, he asked this question at the right time.
The old man waved his hands and was so angry that he didn't even want to say anything to Xuanmu.
Xuanmu finished eating the elixir and saw that it was already getting late, so he was about to walk towards the Banished Moon Palace. Yin Ning happened to arrive here at this time.
The two beasts looked at each other without saying a word, and at the same time they headed towards the Banished Moon Palace.
Time gradually passed for five days. Within these five days, Xuanmu continued to refine the pills and finally made five decent Wood Spirit Pills.
The old man accepted these five Wood Spirit Pills with great satisfaction. As for the remaining five black pills, the old man regarded them as a reward for Xuan Mu. So he gave Xuan Mu a high-level Wood Spirit Pill.
's elixir, although the dosage of the medicinal materials in the elixir is almost the same, there is an extra ingredient called 'bergamot'.
Just because of the addition of Buddha's Hand, it became a 'high-level wood spirit elixir'. Xuanmu was stunned for a moment after looking at the elixir recipe.
He excitedly dug out several bergamot plants from the herb garden, washed them, cut them into pieces, added them to the alchemy furnace according to the dosage, and then closed the alchemy furnace. Just as he was about to throw the fire talisman inside.
At that moment, he seemed to suddenly remember something.
——"By the way, the jade slip seems to indicate that it cannot be refined with the rapid fire of the magic talisman, but can only be refined slowly with the flame stone."
Xuanmu suddenly remembered this matter, and quickly went to the warehouse to get the flame stones. After getting the flame stones back, Xuanmu put all the flame stones into the inner fire space under the alchemy furnace, and then looked for them.
A bamboo tube.
This bamboo tube was used by him to control the heat. This is the difference between high-level elixirs and low-level elixirs. There are fewer precautions in refining low-level elixirs, while high-level elixirs are made by later generations following the steps of their predecessors.
It was improved and understood when refining the elixir.
Therefore, the names are the same, but the levels are different.
It is introduced on the jade slip that when refining high-level wood spirit pills, half an hour of gentle fire, half an hour of martial fire, half an hour of dark fire, and then gentle fire, martial fire, and dark fire are required.
It took about three hours to complete this high-level wood spirit pill.
Three hours later, bursts of medicinal fragrance came from the alchemy furnace, but the sound of boiling spiritual liquid seemed to disappear. Xuanmu then pulled out the spiritual power from the flame stone, and the fire light in the flame stone immediately dimmed.
He put away the flame stone carefully. This flame stone can only be used for five days at most. After five days, the flame stone's spiritual power will disappear, its brilliance will be dim, and it will be no different from an ordinary stone.
