Chapter 65 Unfathomable
Thinking of this, Xu Hong no longer had the fear just now, on the contrary, he became more confident, smiled lightly, and asked, "I don't know Pill Master Yang, what do you want to know?"

Yang Mo said: "[Qi Bu Ling Ye] requires a total of 27 kinds of medicinal materials to form a perfect closed loop. This is a prescription that has been passed down for at least hundreds of years. Later, although some people tried to change it, they all ended in failure. Why... Xu Danshi After adding the four kinds of medicinal materials, not only did it not disrupt, but the efficacy of the medicine was even higher?"

After going back yesterday, he also tried refining, but all ended in failure. After thinking about it all day and night, he still couldn't figure out what was going on.

Just like this, I ran over to ask, although I would put myself very low, but I really wanted to know.

"This……"

Xu Hong frowned.

It turns out that the question is so profound... I don't know how to open my mouth if I want to fool you.

His refining method is to let Xu Ying drink the soup non-stop, and then judge according to the increase or decrease of lifespan, whether to add this medicine, how much to add, how long to cook... How can I know why the medicine has high properties?
However, answering this way is obviously not possible...

So, if you can't answer, then don't answer!

Shaking his head, he looked over, "Pill Master Yang refines medicinal liquid for Yiqi Pavilion, we are in a competitive relationship, if I tell you this, won't it create trouble for myself?"

Yang Mo hurriedly said: "I have already left from the Yiqi Pavilion, and I am no longer refining medicinal liquid for it. This time I am here to ask for advice from the bottom of my heart!"

Xu Hong's face twitched, as if he had no excuse...

Not explaining is not enough, not only the other party is suspicious, but Wei Ziyang who is not far away may feel that the so-called expert in his mouth is fake.

However, he couldn't help it, smiled slightly, and said: "Actually, it's nothing. Every medicinal material has its own characteristics. As long as you grasp the degree, it's not difficult to change the prescription... How about it, I want to listen to it first." What do you think, how do you understand the addition of these four medicinal herbs?"

After pondering for a while, Yang Mo said: "The four herbs, Qingyecao, Yanyunhua, Tieligen and Agarwood, have different properties. If they are refined together, it is easy to cause mutual restraint. I tried to fuse them yesterday. Together, they found that a toxin was born, which can make people dizzy and swell their lips. If it is mixed with the Qi-invigorating liquid, it will not only fail to improve the medicinal properties, but will also cause side effects..."

The more I talked, the more confused I became. I looked at the man in black in front of me, hoping to get his opinion, but I saw that the other party didn't admit it or deny it, but just looked over, "Think again, is there something I didn't expect?"

"This……"

Recalling again in his mind, after pondering for a moment, Yang Mo continued: "Green leaf grass, the attribute is wood, Yanyunhua, the attribute is fire, iron pear root, it is gold, agarwood wood, buried deep underground, it is considered an earth attribute medicinal material...

"Huo overcomes gold, gold overcomes wood, wood overcomes soil, these four medicines have mutually restraining properties, no matter how you count them, they are difficult to suppress and cannot be fused..."

Looking at the man in black again, he saw a smile on his face, with encouragement in his eyes, "Very good, it's close, it's almost there!"

With a shock in his heart, Yang Mo immediately came to his senses, and continued: "Among the other 27 kinds of medicinal materials, it seems that there are also water-type medicines, does Master Xu mean to increase the dosage of these medicinal materials so that they can neutralize each other?
"its not right……

"In this case, it will destroy the previous stability, which will lead to the collapse of the balance of the entire prescription..."

Mumbling to himself, Yang Mo frowned more and more as he spoke.

Looking quietly at the man in black again, he saw his deep eyes, neither happy nor sad.

Could it be... the analysis is wrong?
It must be, otherwise, the other party wouldn't have this expression... This alchemist Xu is really unfathomable!
With emotion in his heart, Yang Mo cheered up and thought seriously, while Xu Hong, who was opposite him, had empty eyes and was a little dazed, "What are you talking about with gold against wood and wood against soil? Why can't you understand a word... "

Can you make it simpler?
It's just refining a liquid medicine, it can't be cooked casually in a pot, and it also involves the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements... Yaoshou!

However, it doesn't matter if you understand it or not, you can't let the other party see it, you still have to keep smiling...

Hey!

"Huh? He laughed? Could it be... I'm going in the right direction?"

The confusion in Yang Mo's heart disappeared, "If the balance of other medicines is not destroyed, these four medicines are the same as adding ordinary liquid, and it is impossible to double the efficacy of the medicine liquid. It seems that it is not the problem of these four herbs, but It's the whole prescription... there must be something else, I didn't realize..."

Having said that, he looked at the other party again.

Seeing his sincere gaze, the man in black nodded slowly.

"It seems that thinking in this direction is indeed right..."

After heaving a sigh of relief, Yang Mo continued to analyze: "This prescription, [Kanmucao] is the main ingredient, which has the effect of invigorating qi and increasing interest. Some low-level elixirs usually use this thing, but this medicine is overbearing. Incomparable, I need sheepskin flowers to neutralize..."

Soon, Pill Master Yang talked about the medicinal properties of more than a dozen medicinal herbs, and how to mix them... As he talked more and more, as if thinking of something, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bowed and clasped his fists, "Xu Pill Master, I take the liberty to think about it." In front of you, try to refine it once, if there is a mistake, if there is any deficiency, I hope you can give me some advice..."

Xu Hong nodded and said, "Of course! Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth..."

"Yes!"

Yang Mo secretly lamented that the level of an expert is different. Then, he came to the middle of the hall in a few steps, stroked his palm, and a huge alchemy furnace appeared in front of everyone.

This furnace tripod is two full circles larger than Xu Hong's, and is as tall as a person. There are countless strange golden patterns engraved on the surface, one circle after another, which is somewhat similar to the annual rings of a tree, and exudes a special atmosphere. , Just looking at it makes people feel a little dizzy.

"It seems that the pill furnace is also graded..."

Xu Hong nodded secretly.

No wonder Wei Ziyang said before that the one he bought was the lowest grade, but when he saw the other party's, he realized that the gap was really huge, and it was not the same grade at all.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help looking at Pavilion Master Wei, and saw that he seemed to have seen something terrible, his face was pale, and his body was trembling...

Just about to ask, a faint voice sounded.

"I started..."

With a slight smile, the power in Pill Master Yang's body surged, and he pointed his palm at the cauldron and pressed it straight down.

boom!
Feeling the power in his body, the patterns on the surface of the furnace suddenly twisted, like groups of wandering tadpoles. In an instant, a group of scorching flames were born out of thin air below, and the air waves rolled, blowing the air Burnt a little distorted.

"This……"

Blinking his eyes, Xu Hong couldn't help being stunned.

Could it be that a good alchemy furnace does not need to add firewood or coal?

What is that burning?
The strange fire in the previous life novel?

"It's true yuan!"

Soon, Xu Hong understood.

The flames in front of me are triggered by Alchemist Yang's true energy in conjunction with the formation pattern, and they are not burning on their own. They should have nothing to do with the so-called strange fire...

The flames were extremely hot, far exceeding the charcoal fire. In just a dozen or so breaths, the furnace let out a long cry and turned red.

Raising his eyebrows, Pill Master Yang grabbed it in the air, and the herbs flew forward in order, and when they came into contact with the red cauldron wall, they were refined into a pure liquid in the blink of an eye.

The medicinal fragrance diffused and filled the whole house.

Xu Hong was shocked.

I thought that the so-called refining of medicine was to boil the medicinal materials in a pot, and after a long time of fuss, it was not like that at all... The other party's method was obviously pleasing to the eye and more aesthetically pleasing.

As the medicinal materials were thrown in, the melted liquid slowly gathered in the middle of the cauldron, and soon, a mass of milky white medicinal droplets was formed.

The pattern flickered, the temperature of the flame continued to increase, and the medicine droplets boiled up. The medicine properties that were originally like oil and water were slowly fused together under the scorching temperature.

After an unknown period of time, the alchemy furnace shook violently, and the liquid droplets flew out and landed in a jade bottle next to it, which was just full.

Spiritual fluid for replenishing qi!

After the refining was successful, Yang Mo was not the slightest bit excited, but took out a drop, put it in his palm, and immediately shook his head with a wry smile.

Feeling in my heart, I thought I had found the real refining method, but it turned out... same as last night, failed again!
This bottle of liquid medicine still contains the toxicity that makes the lips swell...

Back in front of Xu Hong, there was a look of anticipation in his eyes, "Pill Master Xu, you just watched my refining process, what is wrong, can you give me some pointers?"

"This……"

Xu Hong was silent.

I don't understand!

The order in which the other party put in the medicinal materials was completely different from his own. Since no one was testing the medicine, they didn't know the refining process at all. If there is any problem, how can I give advice?
Seeing the other party's bright eyes, he knew that he couldn't be fooled like before. After pondering for a moment, he had no choice but to express his true feelings, "Since it's a medicinal liquid, why didn't you add water?"

"???"

Yang Mo was stunned.

Doesn't refining medicine mean extracting the medicinal properties from the medicinal materials and then merging them with each other?
Add water...what the hell?

Seeing his expression, Xu Hong's eyelids couldn't help but twitch... It seems that he made a mistake!

Is this going to be revealed?
Just as he was thinking about what to do after his identity was exposed, he saw Pill Master Yang who was stunned, as if he had figured something out, his eyes became brighter, and he slapped his thigh, "That's right! It belongs to fire, iron pear root, metal, agarwood, and earth... the five elements lack water, once water is added, these four medicinal materials will change from mutually restraining to mutually reinforcing... the toxicity will naturally be neutralized ..."

After holding back the difficult problem for a whole day and night, Yang Mo clasped his fists excitedly, "Thank you alchemist Xu for your guidance. I don't know, can I try another pot?"

"Of course!"

Xu Hong nodded, once again bewildered.

Just said something casually, and you understood it?
After getting the consent, Yang Mo didn't talk nonsense, and came to the middle of the hall again, lit the fire, heated the cauldron, and tempered it all in one go.

The action is exactly the same as before, that is, before the liquid medicine is fused, the same volume of water is put in.

As soon as the water and the liquid droplets refined from the medicinal materials came into contact, they immediately boiled, turning the slightly dark solution into a milky white color.

call!
Put it into a jade bottle.

Taking out a drop and testing it again, Yang Mo was relieved.

it worked...

The medicinal liquid at this time is no longer toxic, but the same as the one refined by Alchemist Xu, it can increase people's strength!

"One drop of water can solve the problem that I have been thinking about for a whole day, but I haven't figured it out... How good is this alchemist Xu's understanding of elixir?"

Yang Mo was full of admiration.

"but……"

"The medicinal liquid is no longer poisonous, but the effect is not much different from that of ordinary [Qi Supplement Spiritual Liquid]..."

After adding water, the refining was successful, but the effect was not much different from the previous liquid medicine. If so... what do you waste four medicinal plants for?
Confused, he looked over again with sincerity in his eyes, "Xu Alchemist, I understand what you mean, but... the refining is still somewhat unsuccessful, I don't know... can you refine it yourself, so I can observe and learn ?”

"This……"

Before Xu Hong watched the other party refining medicine, he might not have thought much of it. After watching it, he realized that he was not refining medicine, but cooking medicine...

Not ornamental at all!
If you don't practice, you can still keep it mysterious. If you really want to do it, you will definitely reveal your secrets...

He waved his hand, and just about to refuse, he saw Yang Mo flipped his wrist, a wooden box appeared in the palm of his hand, he opened it gently, and a rolling pill appeared in front of everyone.

From a very long distance, I could smell the strong medicinal fragrance coming towards my face, making people move their index fingers and muscles keep beating.

This is not a liquid medicine, but a real pill!
"This [Huagang Pill] is not considered precious, but it is still much rarer than Qi-invigorating spiritual liquid. It can help you reach the peak of your physical state and increase the chance of breaking through by 30.00%..."

Yang Mo looked sincere, and said: "I know this thing is nothing to Alchemist Xu, but as long as you are willing to demonstrate it once, this medicine will be regarded as a reward... I don't need it myself, it's also a good choice to give to juniors !"

"Uh……"

Xu Hong fell silent.

This elixir is of little use to him, but if his father takes it, he can break through in one fell swoop and become a master of Chenggang Realm!

In this way, the Xu family is truly the giant of Jiyuan City, and no one dares to mess with it anymore.

Fist clenched.

It would be a lie not to be tempted by such a precious thing!

But if the disguise is seen through because of this, it will be a big loss... We must think of a way to get the best of both worlds.

"Forget it, since you want to learn, it's okay to refine it for you!"

Soon, with an idea in his mind, Xu Hong stood up from the chair, with an impenetrable depth in his eyes, and smiled slightly, "But... this kind of low-level medicinal liquid, the furnace does not need to be used well, Pavilion Master Wei , please find a dilapidated alchemy furnace... Forget it, I happen to have one here, so let's use the simplest method to refine one!"

After finishing speaking, he flipped his wrist, and a furnace cauldron in the shape of a shoehorn appeared in front of everyone.

There are no special formations on the top, and there are no amazing flames, only the bottom is dark, and you can tell at a glance that it is smoked by charcoal fire...

Yang Mo was stunned.

As an elixir master, I can naturally recognize that this is the lowest-level cauldron, the kind that can be bought casually in the market... The most important thing is that it has been deflated by a large piece, and it feels full of inferior quality...

Can this thing really refine medicine?

Just wondering, the black-robed man had asked Pavilion Master Wei to fetch charcoal fire, poured clean water, and threw in the herbs one by one.

Not long after, the furnace boiled, and a portion of the refined medicinal liquid was poured out.

Taking out a drop and putting it in the palm of his hand, Yang Mo felt it, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

It is exactly the same as the one sold outside, and its effect is twice that of his refining!
"Using the lowest-level furnace, the lowest-level charcoal fire, you can turn decay into magic and refine even more advanced medicinal liquids. This alchemist Xu..."

Yang Mo's eyes gradually became serious.

"Unfathomable!"
