After a few days of recovery, Xiaoqing's abdominal injuries have been largely healed.
After Xia Yan entered the yard, he briefly said a few words to Xiao Qing and then rushed into the kitchen. Xiao Qing saw that Xia Yan was holding a dark purple brocade box in his hand and didn't ask any questions.
"Grandpa Holy Emperor..."
"Grandpa Holy Emperor, come out quickly, I have prepared all the medicinal ingredients!"
Xia Yan entered the kitchen, closed the door, and took out all twenty-three kinds of medicinal materials and placed them neatly. Several of these high-grade medicinal materials were priceless. However, these medicinal materials would be used soon.
Although he had tried hard to control the excitement in his heart, Xia Yan's eyes were still flashing with excitement.
"Grandpa Holy Emperor..."
After getting ready, Xia Yan kept shouting in his heart, knowing that the old man Holy Emperor could hear him.
"What are you shouting for!" The old man of the Holy Emperor gradually showed his figure under Xia Yan's continuous shouting, "What's the hurry? Isn't it just a medicine that promotes the enlargement of the Spirit Gathering Point? You still have a long way to go!
Now, it’s just the beginning!”
As soon as he appeared, the old man of the Holy Emperor began to lecture Xia Yan. In this way, the old man of the Holy Emperor had not said it once or twice.
Xia Yan chuckled, "Grandpa Holy Emperor, please teach me how to prepare this medicine. All the medicinal materials are ready!"
Glancing at the twenty-three neatly arranged medicinal materials, Xia Yan was very nervous in order to collect these medicinal materials. Especially the last high-grade medicinal material, Xue Ling Cao, was hard to come by.
"Yes!" The old man of the Holy Emperor nodded, and checked the various medicinal materials with both eyes, and finally said slowly: "Preparing this medicine is not as easy as refining an elixir. You have to prepare it first. I guess the preparation
The potion process takes almost ten hours."
Xia Yan was shocked, "What? Ten hours?"
Although I was already prepared, I couldn't help but be shocked when I heard the old man from the Holy Emperor said that it would take ten hours.
It only took two hours to prepare the spiritual liquid last time. This time, it took ten hours.
"That's right, you think it's easy to prepare potions?" The old man of the Holy Emperor's beard fluttered, "I'm telling you, if you can't concentrate and make a mistake, the effectiveness of the potion may be greatly reduced, or even not at all.
It won’t work.”
"At that time, all your previous efforts have been wasted, so don't blame me!" The old man from the Holy Emperor said in a somewhat alarmist tone.
"Ten hours..."
Xia Yan frowned and muttered again.
In other words, from now on, it will probably take until around noon tomorrow to prepare successfully.
During this period, there must be no mistakes. Once there is the slightest mistake, all previous efforts are likely to be wasted. These medicinal materials are hard to come by. If you want to find all these medicinal materials, it will probably take another half a month, or even longer.
"Then let me talk to Xiaoqing!" Xia Yan said, then yanked open the door and quickly stepped out.
Xiao Qing was lost in thought under the purple paulownia tree in the courtyard. He heard the noise behind him and turned to look over. When he saw Xia Yan coming out, his face suddenly became happy and he stood up quickly.
"Xiaoqing, I'm going to practice soon. It may not be finished until noon tomorrow. The kitchen is temporarily unavailable. If you are hungry, go to the market. By the way, don't let anyone disturb you.
"I. If anyone comes looking for me, just tell me that I will leave the customs at noon tomorrow!" Xia Yan warned Xiaoqing.
Seeing that Xia Yan was serious, Xiao Qing nodded quickly, "I understand, brother Xia Yan, I have some snacks in my room. If I'm hungry, I can just have snacks."
"Well, take care of yourself! Then I'm going to practice. When I come out, I'll take you to Fangshi Restaurant for dinner!" Xia Yan smiled and said to Xiao Qing.
Xiaoqing patted her fair little hands, jumped slightly, and said happily: "Okay, brother Xia Yan!"
After warning Xiaoqing, Xia Yan felt relieved and returned to the kitchen again.
"Grandpa Holy Emperor, I'm ready, let's get started!" Xia Yan said firmly with a focused gaze.
"Okay!" The old man of the Holy Emperor also had a solemn expression, and his eyes fell on all the medicinal materials, "First crush the ephedra vine, and then burn it to ashes. Note that it must be completely crushed into powder before starting to burn!"
Ephedra vine, a dark green medicinal material, usually grows on cliffs. Intermediate medicinal materials are relatively common and the price is not very high.
According to what the old man of the Holy Emperor said, Xia Yan began to operate step by step.
Time is passing slowly.
Xia Yan didn't notice that the kitchen was gradually getting dark. After lighting the candle, Xia Yan didn't stop and started working nervously again.
There are twenty-three types of medicinal materials, each of which must be handled carefully.
For a century-old four-leaf lotus, one of the plant meridians needs to be completely extracted. It cannot be broken or incomplete.
It can be said that this is definitely a delicate job that requires a lot of patience, and it is simply impossible for ordinary people to do it.
Xia Yan, on the other hand, was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Although the season has entered autumn and the air is warm and cool, the fine beads of sweat on Xia Yan's forehead have never disappeared.
"A century-old Phalaenopsis, roll it into strips, then crush it to squeeze out the juice..."
Xia Yan, meticulously followed what the old man of the Holy Emperor said.
Sometimes, his eyes flashed with light, and sometimes, there was a look of doubt. There were some steps that Xia Yan didn't know the meaning of, but he clearly remembered them in his mind.
The old man of the Holy Emperor looked at the busy Xia Yan and nodded from time to time, showing his relief. The old man of the Holy Emperor was obviously very satisfied with Xia Yan.
There are definitely not many people who can be as completely invested in dispensing medicine as Xia Yan is! And Xia Yan is very careful, and so far, there has not been any mistakes.
In this case, if Xia Yan becomes an alchemist in the future, he can still be very good, and the hope of promotion is very high!
You must know that it is not easy to advance to the level of an alchemist. Even a strong person from the Ling Sect may always stay at the level of a junior alchemist. It is not that easy to refine high-grade elixirs.
Alchemist is a profession that requires a lot of patience.
Of course, an alchemist's ability to control spiritual power is much greater than that of an ordinary spiritual master of the same strength.
"Kumaki grass, roll it into a small ball and soak it in a small cup of white wine for an hour..." Xia Yan looked at the kumaki grass.
Now, Xia Yan has progressed to the processing of the nineteenth medicinal material.
There are also four medicinal materials that have not been touched. These four medicinal materials are all high-grade medicinal materials, among which there is the very rare red blood grass.
…
The sun shines into the kitchen from the window and pours on Xia Yan.
Xia Yan blocked it slightly with his hand and half-squinted his eyes. After a night of work, Xia Yan didn't feel tired, but he was dazzled by the sun and felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
However, this was only a blink of an eye, and Xia Yan once again focused all his attention on the remaining medicinal materials.
"Haha, there is only the last medicinal ingredient, Blood Lingcao, left!"
Xia Yan laughed excitedly in his heart.
After finishing the operation of the Blood Grass, the final preparation work can be carried out, and it is not far from completion.
After suppressing his excitement, Xia Yan focused his eyes and looked at the crimson blood grass! For this blood grass, Xia Yan postponed the preparation of the potion for a whole week.
"Xuelingcao, the last medicinal material that needs to be processed, is also the one that requires the most caution. Xia Yan, first put the bloodlingcao into a clean jade plate." The old man of the Holy Emperor said slowly with a solemn face and a deep voice.
With.
Xia Yan was busy for nearly nine hours, and he kept talking for nearly nine hours.
"good!"
Xia Yan found a white jade plate from the cupboard, and then gently placed the Blood Lingcao on it.
"Use a mallet to gently tap the blood grass. Be careful not to break the skin of the blood grass, let alone let the red juice flow out." The old man of the Holy Emperor said in a serious tone.
Picking up the gavel, Xia Yan stared at the Xue Lingcao with all his attention, using the power on his fingers to control it as finely and accurately as possible.
"Ding dong~"
"Ding Dong~Ding Dong~"
Slowly, Xia Yan began to speed up the movements of his hands. However, the force of each strike was slightly slight. Moreover, the force of each strike was almost exactly the same!
After about a stick of incense, the entire appearance of the Blood Lingcao gradually turned pink, no longer as red as blood before!
"Now, Xia Yan, hurry up, release the juice of Xue Ling Cao, and put it together with the juice of Horse Hoof Big Ear Tongue!" Suddenly, the old man of the Holy Emperor's eyes widened and he said hastily.
Almost as a conditioned reflex, Xia Yan quickly crushed the blood grass and then blended the juice into the juice of the horse's hoof ear tongue.
"Ssssssss~"
A burst of green smoke emerged from the solution, and a strong smell of medicine suddenly spread. Xia Yan sniffed his nose and almost couldn't help but sneeze, but he held it back and watched in surprise the changes in the juice in the vessel. These two juices
After fusion, it turned into sky blue.
"put into a……"
At this time, the old man of the Holy Emperor began to ask Xia Yan to add the previously processed juice, powder, ashes and other medicinal materials according to the steps.
When the last medicinal ingredient was put in, the old man Sheng Huang breathed a sigh of relief, and Xia Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now, put the utensils on a slow fire and simmer! In about an hour, you're done!" The old man of the Holy Emperor nodded and said, his eyes sparkling.
Obviously, he also worked hard.
Xia Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead at this time, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and laughed happily. It really took ten hours to prepare this potion. Xia Yan raised his eyes and looked outside through the window.
The sun has risen very high.
"Grandpa Holy Emperor, is this over? Wait an hour and the medicine will be prepared successfully?" Xia Yan couldn't help but be excited.
"Yes!" The old man of the Holy Emperor nodded slowly, "It should be no problem! With this potion, haha, Xia Yan, your spirit gathering point can quickly become larger in a short time. But, what can it achieve?
, it also depends on your own talent!"
Although potions can assist cultivation, the practitioner's own talent conditions determine the effectiveness of the potions.
