Ye Yi was impatient to wait and was too embarrassed to disturb Tianlan, so he asked Xiaotang some common sense about alchemy.
"Is this all it takes to make alchemy? I mean, will it definitely succeed?"
"Of course not. Different alchemists have different success rates. The more advanced the alchemist, the higher the success rate. Oh, and the quality of the elixir is also related to the medicinal cauldron used."
"Then if you fail, won't your work be in vain?"
"Why do you think there are so few elixirs on the market? If the success rate is 100%, alchemy will not be on the verge of being lost. Alas, you must ask why it was lost next... Sure enough, okay.
Alchemy has a long history and flourished in ancient times tens of thousands of years ago. However, in modern times, many precious elixir recipes have disappeared, and many of the medicinal materials used in the elixir recipes have become extinct. Coupled with the rise of magic techniques, some
Water spells and a few special spells can cure diseases and save lives, and medicine itself has also developed greatly. Refining alchemy does not seem to be so necessary. And most people have to spend a lot of time and energy to study alchemy in order to achieve success, which is too
It’s difficult and not cost-effective, so…”
"That's really a pity..." After hearing what Xiaotang said, Ye Yi understood a little bit.
"But," Xiaotang said with a smile, "miracle doctors are not necessarily alchemists, but alchemists are all miracle doctors! And as long as the success rate is relatively stable, alchemy is a job that is sure to make money! Take this junior
Let’s take the detoxification pill, how much does it cost?”
"It seems to be a gold coin..." Ye Yi recalled.
Xiaotang said mysteriously: "How much do you think this pot of pills can be sold for?" She paused deliberately for a while, until Ye Yi was really curious, and then said: "You can buy eight hundred gold coins.
above!"
"Ah?" Ye Yi's eyes widened, eight hundred times?! Is it that exaggerated?
"You don't believe it?" Xiaotang curled her lips and said: "This is all a matter of supply and demand. Do you think that ordinary travelers and adventurers would go out without bringing some healing medicine, detoxifying pills and the like? Don't
Talk about yourself! You are not a normal traveler! ...Although the primary detoxification pill can not detoxify many poisons, it is more practical, and there are too many mercenaries today. For example, the group just now
Mercenaries, if they have a bottle of antidote in hand, even if they can't detoxify, they can still delay the spread of the poison. That person might not die!"
At this point, both of them fell silent.
The alchemy process lasted about two hours, requiring constant addition of medicinal materials and water, as well as replenishing spiritual energy into the Nine Dragon Cauldron from time to time. It was not difficult, but one had to be cautious at all times. Any mistake in any component would lead to the failure of the alchemy, which was really a waste of time.
An exhausting process.
Finally, the Nine Dragon Cauldron made a soft "pop" sound. Tian Lan took a breath and opened the lid of the cauldron. A burst of fragrance hit his nostrils, and everyone in the room was refreshed. There were twenty cyan pills in the cauldron. Look,
It looks round and smooth. This is the detoxification pill.
Tian Lan took out two jade bottles and filled them with ten detoxifying pills respectively. He threw one bottle to Ye Yi and said, "Just take one and keep the rest for emergencies." He said
With a wave of his hand, the huge Nine Dragon Medicine Cauldron and the remaining medicinal materials disappeared without a trace.
Ye Yi swallowed the antidote pill in one gulp, and immediately felt a chill from the tip of his tongue to his throat, like drinking a glass of ice water on a hot summer day. It was very refreshing. He took the jade bottle and said embarrassedly: "You want to give it to me? This is worth a lot.
Money? It’s too valuable!”
Tian Lan smiled and said: "It's nothing, just take it. You won't be at a loss when you get poisoned in the future. After you take the antidote pill, there will still be some time before the drug is fully effective. Go back to your room and have a good rest. You will be fine tomorrow!"
Xiaotang came over, took Tianlan's right arm, pulled him to the bed, and said: "Young Master, you should have a good rest! Look how bad your face is! Come on! Get some sleep!" She glanced at him
Ye Yi, the latter immediately left wisely and closed the door behind him.
"It's okay, Young Master, you really don't need to pay too much attention to what the old doctor said. Didn't Senior Cang think of a solution? Senior has so many magical powers, there must be no problem." She said in her mouth, her eyes were as gentle as water, and she patted her gently.
Tianlan's shoulders.
"I know, you don't have to worry." He replied softly, but instead turned his head and did not look directly into her eyes.
What is he hiding from? Is he afraid that she will see the hesitation in his eyes, or is he afraid of seeing her hopeful eyes? If the outcome is already determined, will that hope become a burden on my heart? When despair comes, will it?
The greater the hope, the more unbearable it was?
She didn't know what kind of mood he was feeling at this time. Maybe he was the only one in the world who could understand that feeling. If possible, she would be willing to get hurt on his behalf and die on his behalf... But all she could do was
Just encourage him optimistically and accompany him. Is this enough?
Not enough, not enough. She wanted to do more for him, wanted to help him more, and wanted to know more about him.
Young Master, can't you give me such a chance?
She really wanted to say this, but she couldn't say it out loud. Her heart was pounding and tears were rolling in her eyes unconsciously.
Seeing her eyes dim with tears, he felt soft for a moment, pretending to be angry and said: "Stop crying, be obedient!"
Xiaotang muttered aggrievedly: "But...but..."
"Okay, don't cry. Can I teach you new sword moves tomorrow?" Every time Xiaotang showed such an expression, he would make a similar request. This time, he made a promise in advance without her having to speak.
When Xiaotang heard this, he immediately burst into laughter and said, "Okay! It's agreed!"
Such conversations are very common between the two of them. Almost every day, Xiaotang will use various methods to force Tianlan to make some promises. She knows that he is the one who makes the most promises, and he may leave her at any time.
, Xiaotang hopes to use this method to give him a belief. In fact, she doesn't really want to learn many sword moves, but she knows that once she makes an appointment for tomorrow, he will definitely live well today - in order to fulfill this promise.
No one knew how much she felt sorry for him, and she racked her brains to come up with such an impossible solution. Maybe Tianlan lived in pain every day, but she suffered more than him, because she didn't know when she would lose everything.
The worry about her loved one tortured her all the time. It was like a whirlpool, and she had completely fallen into it.
She lay on the table and fell asleep unknowingly. In her sleep, she was still frowning tightly, as if she had an unsolvable knot in her heart. Tian Lan walked to her side lightly, sighed quietly, and covered her up.
Last coat.
He has a delicate mind, how could he not know her good intentions? However, destiny cannot be violated...
