Heavens: I can hypnotize myself

Chapter 88 This is another price!
"If you want to eat a Shiquan Dabu Pill, you need to know its full formula. Then I must have eaten it before, or know the smell of all the medicinal materials in this Shiquan Dabu Pill, so that you only need to smell the medicine. It’s so easy to tell!”

Xu Yi recalled the prescription of Shiquan Dabu Pill, and shook his head slightly in his heart.

"Some of the medicinal ingredients in this prescription are relatively biased. If I want to reverse the complete prescription, I am afraid that I have to try and understand a large number of medicinal ingredients to be able to do it."

Not to mention the cost of purchasing these medicinal materials, the time required to understand so many medicinal materials is not a small number.

To understand a herb, you don’t just eat it, you just need to know what it tastes like, you also need to know its appearance, smell, habit, medicinal properties, year, growth environment and so on.

Counting all of these, even if Xu Yi has a memory palace and can never forget it, it may take several months to fully understand so many medicinal materials.

This obviously did not meet Xu Yi's own needs.

After a slight pause, he thought again.

"However, this knowledge of medicinal materials is still very useful. If I can fill all the knowledge of medicinal materials into the memory palace, then no matter what kind of tonic or poison I face in the future, I can easily crack the formula!"

Walking in the rivers and lakes, apart from martial arts, there is another thing that scares people the most, and that is poison!

If it can be used properly, an ordinary person can even kill a first-class warrior with the poison in his hand.

This was also what Xu Yi was most worried about before. If he could understand the formulas of all poisons, as long as he knew certain medical principles, he would no longer need to be afraid of these poisons.

Decided!
Tomorrow, no, I will buy a batch of medicinal materials to try later!
Anyway, he will spend the next day and night refining Shiquan Dabu Pills here, and there is a shopkeeper Chen who is familiar with various medicinal materials beside him. Wouldn't it be too wasteful if he didn't borrow it?
"correct."

Xu Yi seemed to have thought of something, and asked shopkeeper Chen.

"Shopkeeper Chen, do you have ginseng of other ages here? I want to change the age of this batch of ginseng to 15 to 24 years, which corresponds to one furnace every year."

"Well, there is ginseng. But if you change it in this way, it will have a great impact on the refining of Shiquan Dabu pills. If the difference is about a year, it's okay, but if it's two or three years, or even four or five years, then The difference is huge!"

"What's the matter? According to the difference in the potency of the medicine, wouldn't it be enough to reduce the other medicinal materials accordingly?"

Xu Yi said casually.

Shopkeeper Chen smiled wryly upon hearing this.

"Master Xu, this alchemy does not mean that the age of the main medicine is a joke, and it is enough to reduce the potency of the compounded medicine. It involves a very complicated process of fusion of medicine power, and each alchemy must be put in strictly according to the corresponding amount. , if there is a little less, this batch of pills may be useless!"

He earnestly wanted to persuade Xu Yi not to make those unnecessary attempts.

Of course he saw Xu Yi's thoughts, he just wanted to use this to try to see if it was possible to improve the Shiquan Dabu Pill.

But this prescription was made by his ancestors after countless years of painstaking research. How can it be improved by you so casually?
It can only be said that young people are high-spirited!

Shopkeeper Chen didn't care how much Xu Yi lost in the end, but he was worried that Xu Yi would blame him for these losses in the end!

In order not to let himself be affected by the Xu family's anger in the future, he could only try his best to persuade him.

Xu Yi was noncommittal and just asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

"Shopkeeper Chen, how much does it usually take to refine a batch of alchemy?"

"Huh? The number of pills is not certain. Sometimes you are lucky and you can get nine pills, and sometimes you are unlucky and you can get six or even five pills. Generally speaking, seven pills are quite normal. "

"Seven pills? This is 600 taels of silver."

"..."

Shopkeeper Chen looked at the 600 taels of silver note in his hand, and fell silent for a while.

There are seven pieces of Chengdan in one furnace, and seventy pieces in ten furnaces. According to the price of one piece of eight taels of silver, that is 560 taels.

People threw 600 taels of silver directly into his hands, what else could he say?
"I'll prepare the corresponding medicinal materials right away!"

Shopkeeper Chen turned around and went to compare new prescriptions.

Anyway, he had already done his part and told all the disadvantages of doing so. Even if Xu Yi lost a lot of money because of this in the future, it would not be his fault.

As the shopkeeper of Bai'ankang Pharmacy, although he is not a professional doctor, the shopkeeper Chen still has some ability. After a while, he matched the new prescription according to the corresponding ratio.

"Master Xu, the medicines are ready, can we start?"

Shopkeeper Chen looked at Xu Yi, and then at the people behind him, as if he was asking the question 'who will learn'.

Xu Yi didn't reply to shopkeeper Chen's question, but just said it lightly.

"let's start."

Shopkeeper Chen had doubts, but since the 'financial master' had already spoken, he naturally had to follow through.

"Then I'll start...Master Xu, when it comes to refining medicine, there are three main things to pay attention to, one is the amount and combination of medicinal materials, the other is the control of the heat, and the third is the timing... "..."

Maybe it's because he wanted to show his kindness, or maybe Xu Yi gave him a good amount of money. In short, shopkeeper Chen's explanation was very serious.

Xu Yi listened very seriously, and would ask a lot of questions from time to time, basically all bloody questions.

Shopkeeper Chen was secretly startled when he heard this. If it weren't for the fact that some of the questions were very basic, anyone who has been in contact with medical skills would understand that he almost thought that Xu Yi had studied medicine, and his level was not low.

Really, regarding some of these questions, even the apprentices who have studied with him for several years may not be able to ask them - they are too specific!

'Maybe this is the talent! '

Shopkeeper Chen secretly thought, while teaching more seriously.

Not serious!
As for some of Xu Yi's questions, especially the latter ones, if he didn't deal with them seriously, he might not be able to answer them.

wrong!

I can't answer it anymore!
"This this······"

Shopkeeper Chen listened to Xu Yi's last question, and the only medical knowledge in his mind was spinning wildly, but he just couldn't think of how to answer it, so he could only say helplessly in the end.

"I'm sorry, Young Master Xu, your question is beyond my ability, I really can't answer it."

He was ashamed. As a medical student, in less than half an hour, he was asked by a person who had never been in contact with medicine and couldn't answer. How could he accept this?
Xu Yi shook his head slightly.

"Then forget it."

"Thank you, Young Master Xu, for your understanding!"

Shopkeeper Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, Xu Yi took out a medicinal herb.

"Shopkeeper Chen, can you tell me about these medicinal materials? I'm very interested."

Shopkeeper Chen:? ? ?

This is another price! !
