Yu Fei shamelessly called Ding Laosan and politely asked him about the century-old wild ginseng. This time Yu Fei really asked the right person. Ding Laosan happened to have a century-old wild ginseng on hand. He heard that Kun Yuanzi wanted to help Yu Fei refine the Qi Refining Pill, and without saying a word, he immediately expressed his willingness to donate the century-old wild ginseng to Yu Fei for free.
Yu Fei also felt a little embarrassed. After all, wild ginseng was considered a valuable item, so it seemed inappropriate to just take it for nothing.
Ding Laosan yelled on the phone: "You and I, brothers, don't be so mother-in-law and mother-in-law. Speaking of which, what should I do with the tiger leg bone you gave me? But if it is really made in the future, Qi refining pills, you have to give me a few pills. To be honest, I got this old wild ginseng to replenish qi for Hao'er. Since Hao'er was injured last time, his qi has been unable to be restored. Now every day I have been taking the God-Returning Pill, but there is no obvious effect. I originally wanted to try it with century-old wild ginseng. Since Zombie Master can use it to make Qi-Refining Pill, that would be the best,"
Yu Fei naturally agreed to Ding Laosan's request.
Ding Laosan immediately said that as long as the Qi Refining Pill was proven to be effective, he would find a way to get a few more century-old wild ginseng roots and let Kun Yuanzi use them to make the Qi Refining Pill.
The next day, Ding Laosan sent over the century-old wild ginseng, and the problem of raw materials was successfully solved.
After getting the century-old wild ginseng, Kun Yuanzi and Yu Fei started making Qi Refining Pills.
Yu Fei was responsible for mixing the medicinal materials prepared according to the amount and grinding them into pieces. Kun Yuanzi drew several Qi Gathering Talismans, then lit them. After they were fully burned, he mixed the paper ashes into the water. Then pour the water mixed with paper ash into the crushed medicinal powder, mix in the cinnabar, stir it, and then squeeze out pills the size of table tennis balls.
Cinnabar, also known as cinnabar, is a bright red mineral powder with a diamond luster to metallic luster. Its main component is mercury sulfide, which is also mixed with realgar, apatite, asphaltene, etc. Cinnabar has the effect of detoxification and anti-corrosion. However, if too much is used, the mercury contained in it can cause liver and kidney damage, and can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and directly damage the central nervous system. In addition to being used to refine elixirs, cinnabar can also be made into cinnabar pens to draw talismans to ward off evil spirits. .
Cinnabar is commonly used in Taoism and Buddhism, and it is not considered a valuable item. It is sold online at a very cheap price. However, considering that cinnabar has serious side effects on the body, Yu Fei was very cautious when putting it in. Be careful, the amount is much less than what Kun Yuanzi said.
After all the pills were pinched, Yu Fei counted them and found that there were sixteen pills in total. The number was not many, but as long as it was not taken every day, it would be enough for a period of time. Kun Yuanzi said that using this Qi Refining Pill would To assist in practice, you only need to take it at critical moments. There is no need to take too much. As the saying goes, too much is not enough.
Kun Yuanzi put the prepared pills into the bronze pill furnace one by one, poured some water mixed with paper ash into it, then covered the furnace lid, and put Yu Fei in the interval layer of the pill furnace. The fuel activated carbon is ignited and the pills are brewed.
Kun Yuanzi originally said that he wanted to use charcoal, but it was not available in Shenzhen. Yu Fei searched online and found that there is actually a kind of fuel activated carbon, which has a much better burning effect than charcoal, and it is sold in Shenzhen, so he bought it. After planting it, he took it back and tried it. Kun Yuanzi was very satisfied, so he used activated carbon as a fuel instead of charcoal.
Five or six hours later, Kun Yuanzi opened the furnace to get the pills and opened the lid of the furnace. He saw that the sixteen black pills with a hint of vermilion had become black and shiny, and exuded a faint scent of ginseng.
Yu Fei frowned and said doubtfully: "Why is the taste of century-old wild ginseng so weak? It can't be fake, right?"
Kun Yuanzi smiled and said: "Haha, Brother Yu doesn't know something. That's because this cinnabar can lock the smell of the pills, because the smell will affect the effectiveness of the pills. If it is the best pill, there is only a trace of smell. I can’t even smell it,”
Only then did Yu Fei realize that it was not a good thing to be able to smell the smell of ginseng.
Speaking of the two Qi Refining Pills that Mr. Ye gave him, except for a slight musty smell, there was no other smell. I don't know if the smell was locked in well or because the smell had dissipated because it had been left for too long. All done.
Now that the Qi Refining Pills are ready, Kun Yuanzi suggested putting these pills in the Qi Gathering Jade Cauldron for seven days to allow the pills to fully absorb the spiritual energy. In this case, the pills can have the best effect It will be better. This method was discovered by Kun Yuanzi himself. It is one of his secrets in refining elixirs. This is also one of the reasons why he can become a master of external elixirs.
Therefore, Yu Fei followed Kun Yuanzi's instructions and carefully took out the sixteen Qi Refining Pills from the bronze pill furnace and placed them in the Qi Gathering Jade Cauldron.
However, this aroused dissatisfaction of the little golden dragon. Because the Qi Refining Pill was placed in the Qi Gathering Jade Cauldron, it could no longer go to the jade cauldron to nest in the jade cauldron for the time being, and could only stay in the pavilion with everyone.
Xiao Bai was quite interested in this Qi Refining Pill. From time to time he would lie down on the Qi Gathering Jade Cauldron and sniff through the hollow gaps in the cauldron. If it hadn't been covered with a lid, he would have climbed in long ago.
Seven days later, Yu Fei took out the Qi Refining Pill from the Qi Gathering Jade Cauldron. Kun Yuanzi took it and looked at it, and said: "The cinnabar is a bit short. Although it is not of the highest quality, it is still pretty good. "
Yu Fei collected ten of the Qi Refining Pills, and gave the remaining six to Ding Laosan, asking him to give them to Ding Hao to try.
Half a month later, Ding Laosan called and told Yu Fei excitedly that Ding Hao just took three Qi Refining Pills and his vitality had basically recovered. It seemed that Kun Yuanzi was not bragging. He was probably really a good person. A master of external alchemy in the Tang Dynasty.
With Ding Hao's test, Yu Fei also began to practice with the help of Qi Refining Pill.
Although Kun Yuanzi did not agree with this method of Taoist practice supplemented by elixirs, Yu Fei was really impatient. In the past two months, he had not made much progress in practice, and he often thought about it. The powerful skill of the man in black he fought against at Qiniang Mountain made his heart tremble. If it hadn't been for the little golden dragon last time, I'm afraid both he and Tang Yan would have died in the hands of the man in black.
Although the man in black never showed up again after escaping that night, Yu Fei knew that he must be hiding in a dark place, waiting for an opportunity to attack them again. Now he can only practice diligently and quickly improve his skills. Be prepared, just in case,
