The female nun just wants to live forever

Chapter 12 Alchemy【Please collect】

Mr. Zhao ordered Gu Nian to pour the yang soil into the big cauldron, and pour the yin soil, which contained a lot of water, into the sink in the yard.

Afterwards, Mr. Zhao took out a dustpan filled with dried medicinal materials and placed it next to the concave stone mill. He said to the two of them: "Grind it into powder first. Only when it is invisible to the eye can it be considered qualified."

Gu Nian said "hmm" with a lot of water at the same time, squatted down, placed the medicinal materials in the groove, and began to grind them carefully.

This is laborious work. One dustpan of medicinal materials needs to be ground back and forth hundreds of times before it is considered qualified. By the time the two of them had finished grinding all three dustpans of medicinal materials, Mr. Zhao had already lit up the fire.

Not long after, steam began to rise from the mouth of the cauldron.

"Put in the Xue Qianzi, stir it back and forth thirty times each time, and cook until it becomes thick, so that the Xue Qianzi and Yangtu are completely integrated."

A lot of water was rushed to make.

He stood on a high stool, waving his forearm with a large spoon and stirring continuously, and the water vapor in the cauldron gradually dissipated.

Mr. Zhao looked solemn and estimated the time. After the liquid became viscous, he added: "Mix in the ground monkey grass, clear vanilla, and xuanzhi, with the ingredients of 721, mix in refined honey, and mix it well. .”

Gu Nian quickly picked up the ground medicine and climbed onto another high stool. Looking at the thick yellow liquid in the cauldron, he poured all the medicine into the cauldron.

"You can also stir it together until the liquid turns red, then scoop it all out." Mr. Zhao handed her a wooden spoon half a foot long.

The two of them waved their arms and kept stirring. Mr. Zhao added some firewood to the bottom of the cauldron. The fire became more and more intense, and the two people at the mouth of the cauldron were soon sweating profusely.

As time passed, the liquid in the cauldron became increasingly difficult to stir, and Gu Nian felt as if his arms were numb and no longer belonged to him.

After a cup of tea, the liquid in the cauldron finally showed its first bright red color. The two were overjoyed and quickly accelerated the stirring speed. As the liquid continued to be stirred and rolled, it soon turned red.

"Mr. Zhao! He's popular!"

Lots of Water shouted.

"Gu Nian scooped it out and put it into a basin. If there was more water, pour it into the sink in the courtyard. Remember not to wait too long."

"Yes!"

The two immediately split up.

Gu Nian scooped it out with a spoon and put it in the prepared wooden basin. A lot of water was poured into the sink at a very fast speed.

Mr. Zhao took out a pill-washing board from somewhere, shaped the red viscous liquid in the sink into a round shape, put it into the pill-washing board one by one, and then began to shake it back and forth.

The two of them gathered around the sink and watched carefully. They found that Mr. Zhao had a good grasp of the weight of each pill, and the pills made were almost the same size. They couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

After the entire pot of pills was made, Mr. Zhao took out a slightly larger dustpan, spread a layer of white cloth on it, and arranged the pills in an array.

After finishing this, he placed the dustpan at the mouth of the tripod, covered it with a cone-shaped wooden lid, and then began to add firewood.

Although Mr. Zhao was sweating from exhaustion and his face was a little pale, Gu Nian clearly saw a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"The elixir made this time is called Qi-Building Pill. It has the effect of replenishing Qi and enriching blood. It is the most commonly used elixir among disciples of Taiyue Sect. When eaten by ordinary people, it can replenish Qi and blood, strengthen the body, and also increase the ability to introduce Qi into the body. Probability." Mr. Zhao said calmly and explained the elixir.

Gu Nian listened carefully, ignoring the soreness in his arms, and recalled the elixir-making process in detail, and gained a lot.

Mr. Zhao then instructed: "This elixir is considered to be initially completed. After three hours, let it stand in the air for half a moment before bottling it and taking it."

"The process of refining an elixir is like sitting in meditation. You need to calm down before you can understand its meaning. The dosage of each medicinal ingredient also has a lot to say. If there is a slight difference, the elixir will be destroyed and the furnace will explode."

"Disciple remembers it."

Gu Nian nodded solemnly. As for the large amount of water, he was still immersed in the excitement of making elixirs and had only a half-understanding of what Mr. Zhao said.

"That's very good!" Mr. Zhao nodded in approval, looked at the water again, and couldn't help but cursed: "You are so stupid, you can't be as enlightened as your junior sister!"

Duo Shui just scratched his head and said with an honest smile: "Back to Mr. Zhao, this disciple is definitely not as good as my junior sister. She is so smart."

"you!"

Mr. Zhao was so angry that he didn't know what to do with him for a moment. He had no choice but to flick his sleeves and robe, saying, "Go back and think about it. You can use this alchemy room as you like in the future" and left.

"Disciple, please remember this!"

After paying homage to Mr. Zhao, Gu Nian, who was so tired that she was almost exhausted, wanted to finally rest, but when she thought of today's harvest, she felt inexplicably excited.

Looking at the water, he jumped up and started cooking happily like a normal person, which made Gu Nian's mouth twitch.

"Is this a normal person? You can still have such good energy after a tiring day." She couldn't help but murmur in her heart.

After dinner, Gu Nian meditated as usual and silently read the Qi-Entraining Technique.

When two hours passed and it was getting late, she lit an oil lamp and leaned against the window to continue reading.

The moon and stars are sparse and the breeze is blowing.

Unknowingly, it was midnight, but Gu Nian didn't feel sleepy at all.

She would study Qi Entraining Techniques and meditate every night. In the past few days, she always felt as if she was about to touch the threshold, but she felt it was elusive and could not grasp it at all.

It wasn't until late in the night that I felt sleepy. Thinking that there were still a lot of things to do tomorrow, I reluctantly put away the book and rested.

Early the next morning, while she was still "refining elixirs" in her sleep, a lot of water came again and called her loudly in the yard.

"Junior Sister Gu! Junior Sister Gu! Get up!"

"Why are you making so much noise? Don't you know Mr. Zhao doesn't like making noise?"

Gu Nian couldn't help but scream angrily in a low voice. He was really speechless. He had been doing this every day for three months.

But complaining was a complaint, and she also knew that the other party actually didn't have any bad intentions. He was honest, honest and conscientious, somewhat similar to the old housekeeper of the Gu family.

In the next month, the two of them spent time digging in the soil and refining elixirs, and she gradually began to adapt to this kind of life.

The honest and carefree Duoshui, the taciturn Mr. Zhao, the beautiful Rejuvenation Valley...

In fact, sometimes she even feels that such a life is not bad, but she knows exactly what she wants.

In the middle, Duoshan came once, brought some cakes to visit Duoshui, and talked about some things that happened in the sect.

For example, a disciple named Sun Xiaotian was expelled from the sect because of stealing, or many disciples who went down the mountain to perform tasks disappeared inexplicably, etc.

Duo Shui also shared a lot about what happened in the valley, especially when he learned that the two of them had started refining elixirs.

Duoshan's talent is very good. In just the past two months, he has broken through the second level of Qi refining and is highly regarded by the leader.

After Gu Nian knew that the other party had broken through, he was not hit. Instead, he yearned even more for cultivating immortals.

She had been working very hard in the past few months in the Valley of Rejuvenation. She meditated every night until half the night, and her mood became calmer.

On this night, she felt that she had finally seized the opportunity that seemed to be missing.

　Please pursue reading. Although it is slow, I will definitely keep writing.
