Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 11 Spirit Soup
New year and a new look.

The sound of firecrackers was still echoing outside.

After dinner, Chen Yun returned to the dormitory early.

Today is the Chinese New Year, and there is a sumptuous dinner. If he followed his past "starving ghost reincarnation" temperament, he would definitely feast on it. However, today he only took two hasty bites, which also made Zhang Qian and Li Si, two senior brothers who usually have a good relationship with him, wonder whether he Feeling homesick.

How did they know that Chen Yun was in a hurry to make the foundation-building soup.

in the bedroom.

Chen Yun secretly took out the book, which was made of unknown material and looked very simple.

The four words "Da Luo Ling Tang" are written on the book with flying dragons and phoenixes.

Turning it over, there was a prescription for making the foundation-building soup written on the first page.

Chen Yun carefully checked and thought to himself: "Six qian for astragalus, three qian each for angelica, white peony root, and rehmannia root, two qian each for peach kernel, chuanxiong, paeonol, cinnamon twig, and poria. The main medicine is one Yin Yang star grass, boiled in water twice. One dose every seven days. Take a small bowl of cold concoction, mix it with the boiled concoction and take it together. You can take it three times. Then after taking it twice, except for the Yin Yang Star Grass, add the other medicinal materials in the previously recorded amounts. Add and continue cooking.”

Tang Fang wrote it very clearly.

It just means putting these amounts of medicinal materials into a pot, then adding water and simmering twice.

For the first time, wait until it boils, pour out the concoction and let it cool.

Immediately add water to boil, pour out a little of the concoction that was boiled for the second time, and mix it with the cooled part of the concoction that was boiled for the first time before it can be taken.

Take it twice in total.

Once it has been taken twice, other medicinal materials other than Yin Yang Star Grass must be added again, and then boiled again, and then the above procedure can be repeated.

However, Chen Yun was a little confused, "It's okay to boil the medicine twice in a normal way, but how to ensure that the medicine is always boiling the second time? Do you keep adding water to boil it? In addition, when you boil it again after taking it twice, don't you pour out the dregs of the medicine? Come out and add new medicinal materials?"

This was completely different from the process of decoction he had heard from Li Si.

Chen Yun really couldn't figure it out.

Of course, he had a way to maintain the temperature of the second decoction. After all, he had a magical little copper stove.

"One more thing, you need to control the heat when decoction. This book doesn't record how long it takes to decoct. It only says that when it boils, pour out the concoction, and then add water to simmer."

Chen Yun felt strange. He didn't know how to cook the medicine at the right temperature.
Don't burn out the medicine later.

He only has one Yin-Yang Star Grass on hand. If there is something wrong with the decoction, it will be difficult to get another Yin-Yang Star Grass.

If it weren't for the fact that the small copper stove was so magical, he would have even wondered if someone was joking with him about this prescription.

"Hey, yes, I have a small copper stove."

Chen Yun suddenly woke up.

He remembered that the lid of the small copper stove was engraved with buttons with terms such as "Building the Foundation in a Hundred Days" and "Refining Grain and Transforming into Essence". When these buttons were pressed, the small copper stove would cook immediately.

In the past, Chen Yun didn't understand why there were these buttons on the lid of the small copper stove.

Today, he vaguely understood.

"Could this small copper furnace be specially designed for refining the medicinal recipes recorded in "Da Luo Ling Tang"? As long as you put the medicinal materials into it and press the button, it will decoct the medicine in fool mode?"

Chen Yun thinks this is possible.

For example, the small removable grid on the wall of the small copper furnace was most likely originally used to store medicinal materials.

"Want to try it?"

To be honest, he hesitated.

Because I only have a Yin Yang Star Grass on hand, if my prediction is wrong, I don’t know how long it will take to make the Foundation Building Soup next time.

But Chen Yun then thought about it and realized that the reason why he needed Yin Yang Star Grass was entirely because of the foundation building soup recorded in "Da Luo Ling Tang".

That being the case, why not gamble?
"Okay, let's try it."

Chen Yun made up his mind and silently said "Come out" in his heart.

The next moment, his palm sank, and the small copper furnace appeared in his palm.

He gently pressed the furnace body to take out the medicinal materials, then opened the furnace lid and put the medicinal materials according to the weight.Finally, after the medicinal materials were put away, Chen Yun stood up and went to the corner, picked up a ladle, scooped about two large bowls out of the wooden bucket, and poured them into the copper stove.

After doing all this, Chen Yun returned the furnace cover to its original position.

"Huh, I hope it works."

He prayed silently in his heart for a moment, then stretched out his hand toward the button engraved with "One Hundred Days to Build the Foundation" on the furnace lid and pressed it.

Chen Yun has boiled water in a small copper stove before, and it usually only takes three seconds to boil water.

He didn't know if the torment lasted the same amount of time, so he kept staring.

A second passed, and the small copper stove showed no response at all.

Two seconds passed, and there was still no movement from the small copper stove.

But when the third second came, something magical happened.

Chen Yun clearly saw wisps of white water vapor rising from the top of the copper furnace.

Obviously, boiled.

He secretly thought, "It is recorded in "Da Luo Ling Tang" that the concoction can be taken out by boiling it, so I will follow the record."

Chen Yun opened the furnace lid.

A bitter and slightly fragrant smell hit my face, somewhat similar to the smell of boiled Chinese medicine in my previous life.

He picked up the large bowl on the side and put it away, then carefully poured out the concoction from the copper stove without spilling any of it.

These concoctions cannot be taken temporarily. They need to wait until they cool down and then mix them with the second decoction before taking them.

After pouring the concoction for the first decoction, Chen Yun scooped two more bowls of water from the barrel and added them to the stove.

As before, close the stove lid again.

Chen Yun once again pressed the "[-]-day foundation building" button.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

He recited the numbers silently in his mind.

When the three seconds were counted, wisps of white water vapor rose from the small copper furnace again.

Chen Yun didn't pour it out this time because the concoction from the first decoction hadn't cooled down yet.

But at this time, he became a little confused, "Now the small copper furnace is always boiling. If I wait until the first decoction juice cools down, will the water in the copper furnace evaporate completely?"

This is what Chen Yun thought in his heart.

But what he didn't expect was that the small copper furnace stopped steaming for about a minute or two.

"Isn't the water all evaporated?"

Chen Yun's heart tightened, and he quickly opened the furnace cover and took a look.

As a result, he saw that the concoction in the small copper stove was still boiling, but it no longer emitted water vapor, which looked particularly magical.

Chen Yun couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as the water has not completely evaporated, it will be fine. As for these concoctions, the small copper furnace has good quality and heat preservation anyway, so it will be fine no matter how long they are left. I'll wait for the concoctions to be taken out to cool down."

He sat there and waited quietly, occasionally reaching out to the wall of the bowl to feel how much the temperature had dropped.

Fortunately it is winter and the temperatures are freezing.

Chen Yun didn't wait long before the concoction cooled down completely.

At this time, he was a little excited and finally made the foundation-building soup!
