Chi Yunzhi was stunned for a moment, then followed the old man's gaze and looked at the ice grass on the stone platform, and then frowned, "Although the effect of ice grass is the closest to that of red blood ginseng leaves, its properties are the same as those of red blood ginseng leaves. The blood ginseng leaves are completely the opposite. If they are used to replace the red blood ginseng leaves, it will break the original balance of the elixir and prevent it from condensing and forming. Even if the elixir is barely formed, it will become a defective elixir. Substandard elixirs can cause great harm to the human body."

"It seems that you have a very detailed understanding of the properties and efficacy of the medicinal materials on the stone platform, as well as the relationship between them and the medicinal materials needed to refine Su Xin Dan."

The old man smiled and said: "Then have you ever thought about the relationship between these medicinal materials on the stone platform, and what kind of effect will be produced if the two are mixed into Su Xin Dan? ?”

Chi Yunzhi was startled, his eyes suddenly stared at the dozen medicinal herbs on the stone platform, and said: "What do you mean..."

"You want me to break the original prescription of Su Xin Dan, but you also want me to recombine the medicinal materials needed to refine Su Xin Dan while retaining its original efficacy?!" Chi Yunzhi said in shock.

Although she guessed what the old man meant, she still felt a little unbelievable when she actually said it.

You must know that the prescription of each elixir has been carefully considered and tested by countless alchemists before it can be truly recorded in the ancient books of elixirs. Even the alchemy sect of Yunling Academy, hundreds of students can develop it within a year. There are hundreds of low-level and middle-level elixir recipes and tens of thousands of low-level elixir recipes, but only a few low-level elixir recipes can actually pass several rounds of inspections and be included in the elixir book. This shows that you want to develop How difficult is it to come up with a successful prescription, let alone revise it?

However, when he heard Chi Yunzhi's shocked words, the old man smiled and said: "Exactly."

Chi Yunzhi's pupils suddenly shrank.

Yes, the old man in front of him is a genuine alchemy master. He is a figure who is almost at the top of the alchemy world. He is naturally qualified to say this.

Thinking of this, Chi Yunzhi suddenly became solemn and bowed deeply to the old man, "Please give me some advice, senior!"

Although Xue Lianhua had already detected her blood relationship with the old man, and Chi Yunzhi had accepted the sudden news in his heart, he still couldn't change his mind for a while. Fortunately, the old man didn't force it.

Seeing that Chi Yunzhi could immediately understand what he meant and ask for advice humbly, the old man nodded happily.

He held up an ice grass seed and said: "Take this ice grass seed for example. Although its efficacy is very similar to that of red blood ginseng leaves, its properties are completely opposite to those of red blood ginseng leaves. Its cold properties will instantly kill Hu Yuan." The balance originally constructed by , Mountain Mother, Sand Agarwood and Centennial Cicada Skin is broken."

"But in the absence of the red blood ginseng leaves, we also want Su Xin Dan to retain its full medicinal effect. Bing Maozi is a far better choice than Maoshan Dan. Based on this point, we will try to find a solution. method instead of directly choosing Mao Shandan."

Chi Yunzhi nodded and listened carefully.

"Actually, the problem of balancing the other medicinal materials of Bingmaozi and Suxindan is very simple. It can be solved with a piece of Wuqi."

The old man paused for a moment without continuing, but looked at Chi Yunzhi.

And Chi Yunzhi did not disappoint the old man. After thinking for a while, he asked the old man a question, "Wuqi can balance the mutual repulsion of several medicinal herbs such as Bingmaozi and Suxindan. But once Wuqi is added, , wouldn’t the effect of Wuqi be added to Su Xin Dan, and in this case, wouldn’t it also affect the original efficacy of Su Xin Dan, and Su Xin Dan is no longer Su Xin Dan.”

Seeing Chi Yunzhi's inquisitive attitude, the old man smiled happily, then reached out and took out a medicinal plant from the stone platform, and said, "Do you still remember the medicinal effects and functions of this white swallow?"

Chi Yunzhi was stunned, squinting slightly as he looked at the white swallow in the old man's hand. After a while, Chi Yunzhi's eyes suddenly lit up. "I understand!"

Chi Yunzhi said loudly: "Baiyan is warm in nature and will not conflict with other medicinal materials, but usually in the same prescription, Baiyan and Wuqi will not appear at the same time, because once the two come into contact, It will dissolve the medicinal effects of each other."

Chi Yunzhi's eyes were bright and he said excitedly: "If Baiyan and Wuqi are added to Suxindan at the same time, Wuqi's properties can balance the mutual repulsion between Bingmaozi and other medicinal materials in Suxindan, and Because the medicinal effects of Wuqi and Baiyan cancel each other out, it is equivalent to Su Xin Dan without these two medicinal materials, but in the absence of red blood ginseng leaves, ice grass seeds can be used to preserve the original effect of Su Xin Dan. !”

"That's right." The old man smiled and said: "Not only that, the Suxin Pill made with ice grass is more suitable for spiritualists with water-attributed spiritual power and ice-attributed spiritual power."

"A prescription that can be recorded in the elixir book is not because all the medicinal materials used are unique and irreplaceable, but because it can refine the most effective elixir in the simplest way, and at the same time, it can be used by most spiritualists with their physiques. Accepted.”

"But being acceptable does not mean that it is the most suitable. A truly excellent alchemist should be able to make medicines according to different people. Even if it is the same prescription, he must make corresponding changes when facing different spiritualists. , so that the elixir can exert its true medicinal effect in the human body."

"The younger generation has been taught."

Chi Yunzhi raised his hand and saluted the old man solemnly.

Before today, she would only make medicine according to the prescription, but after today, she really has a deeper understanding of the method of making medicine.

The old man waved his hand casually, "Don't rush to say thank you. I'll leave you with another question. If there is no such thing as icegrass, how can we solve the balance problem between the medicinal materials if we want to replace the red ginseng leaves with ginseng?"

After Chi Yunzhi heard this, he started to think hard, but was interrupted by the old man: "Based on the amount of information about medicinal materials you have now, I'm afraid you won't be able to answer this question. Wait until you give me the information I gave you." Now that you’ve read those two books, let’s answer my question.”

"Yes." Chi Yunzhi smiled shyly.

"It's still early, so let's refine another pill."

The old man looked at the sky and took out another prescription, which was also a prescription for a middle-level and inferior elixir.

It seems that the apothecary qualification test should only test the alchemist's ability to refine middle-level and lower-level elixirs.

On the stone platform, the old man waved his sleeves and changed another batch of medicinal materials.

Chi Yunzhi then started refining medicine again. As expected, the old man once again gave Chi Yunzhi an additional test in refining medicine. This time, she learned from the experience and did not disappoint the old man...
