Shenfu Danzun

Chapter 21 The Mysterious Buyer
Zhang Kun brought another Qi-increasing pill in front of Yin Haihui, looked at him calmly and said, "Shopkeeper, you should believe that I have the ability to refine medicine by now, right?"

"That's natural, little brother Zhang Kun, what's the matter with your other elixir, one material can be refined into two?" Yin Haihui was surprised.

Zhang Kun explained: "After the pill is formed in the last step of alchemy, it can be divided into pills, but the division of pills has a higher requirement on the degree of refining the materials, otherwise, the efficacy of the separated pills may be lost."

Yin Haihui took a look at the medicine dregs left in the alchemy furnace, and it was indeed less than usual, which means that the materials were used to the utmost and the waste produced was less.

"Okay, I'll send someone to recover the seller." Yin Haihui rubbed his hands excitedly, then changed his words as if thinking of something, "No, I'll go find them myself, you can stay here now, I'll come as soon as I go." !"

"Yes." Zhang Kun nodded in agreement.

Shopkeeper Yin Haihui hurried out, and Zhang Kun couldn't help sighing as he looked at the two elixirs in front of him. Ten days ago, he was just a clerk in the pharmacy, doing some chores of sourcing medicines.

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Kun entered the alchemy path, and the reward he could get for helping shopkeeper Yin in alchemy was completely different from the meager income he earned when he was doing odd jobs!
There was no longer the threat of being expelled from the ethnology. A figure suddenly flashed in Zhang Kun's mind, Liang Lingxue, who was here that night. .

I don't know what rank she won in the Liang family competition. It turned out that Zhang Kun hadn't seen her for several years. Zhang Kun had been immersed in the work of the pharmacy, and thought that he would never have any interaction with her in this life.

But now Zhang Kun, who was released from the heavy pressure, suddenly remembered his cousin, and didn't know what she was doing at the moment.

Just as Zhang Kun started his daydreams, Yin Haihui hurriedly called a carriage and caught up with the mysterious seller. He had already made friends with Youjia Pharmacy and wanted to hand over the order to shopkeeper Yin. Although he was rejected, now Yin Haihui Intentionally took over, naturally not hypocritical, the two hit it off immediately.

After Zhang Kun got the prescription, he was stunned. The refining process of this kind of Yanfang Dan is a bit complicated. He has never seen such a first-class elixir that is so difficult to refine. , but it is relatively simple.

At Zhang Kun's current speed, a furnace can be made in half an hour, but it seems that Yan Fang Dan is not so simple.

Although the materials used are not too precious, in order to achieve its medicinal effect, many special treatments are required. This kind of treatment requires the alchemist to operate spiritually during the alchemy process.

That's why the refining difficulty of Yan Fang Dan has increased to several levels!Zhang Kun didn't know where to start, but he had Gongsun Yangyan around, and with Master Gongsun's vision and experience, didn't he see through the refining method of a mere first-class elixir?
"How about it, little brother Zhang Kun, can you refine this Yan Fang Dan?" Yin Haihui saw that Zhang Kun was thinking and remained silent, and his face immediately became worried.

It's all because he was too eager just now. Although Zhang Kun has the ability to refine elixirs, the mysterious buyer has a large order, and it is said that the refining difficulty is also quite high. It can definitely be refined.

But looking at Zhang Kun now, this matter is a bit tricky!
"Don't worry, shopkeeper," Zhang Kun said with a smile, "I still have to study the new pill formula, don't worry, as long as it still belongs to the category of first-class pills, I'm sure to make it!"

Yin Haihui let go of his hanging heart, and quickly said: "Then I can rest assured, so you can continue to study, I will go back to the front first."

Zhang Kun responded with a smile. After Yin Haihui left, he sat down cross-legged, but his consciousness entered the world of the ancient mirror through the fragments of the bronze mirror.In the alchemy hall, Gongsun Yangyan rested his eyes on a rocking chair with a relaxed appearance.

But in fact, it is a part of Gongsun Yangyan's soul, which is imprisoned in this mirror world by the weird bronze mirror. When Zhang Kun is not around, Gongsun Yangyan rests in it, but in reality he moves freely of.

"Teacher, I just got a prescription for an elixir, but many of the steps are difficult for me." Zhang Kun bowed to Gongsun Yangyan, who was squinting, and woke him up.

"What kind of prescription is it? Let me see it!" Gongsun Yangyan stretched lazily and opened his eyes.

Zhang Kun memorized the prescriptions he saw in the pharmacy from memory, and wrote them to Gongsun Yangyan for review.

"Yanfangdan, you don't go into hot places, why refine it?" Gongsun Yangyan just read the first few pills and then said the name of the pill. A strong alchemist, I don't know how many pills I need to practice to achieve this proficiency and confidence.

Zhang Kun replied: "It was entrusted by someone, and I placed an order for refining."

"Compared with other first-level pills, Yanfang Dan is not commonly used, and the difficulty is indeed relatively high. Even some second-level alchemists can't do anything. Is this seller going to explore some hot place?" Gongsun Yangyan muttered to himself. road.

"In this way, you try to practice it first, and I will point out the places that are not smooth!" Gongsun Yangyan said.

Zhang Kun nodded in response, took the medicinal materials and walked to the alchemy furnace, and put the miscellaneous materials into the alchemy furnace. Not only did he feel the abundance of materials in the mirror field, it can be said that there are everything that one expects to find. Many things are not seen by the outside world. arrived.

It's a pity that with his current level of control over the ancient mirror, he can only enter the mirror domain space with consciousness, and the things inside cannot be taken out.

According to the alchemy recipe provided by the mysterious seller, Zhang Kun started refining, but because it was his first attempt, he failed to grasp the amount of materials he grabbed from the beginning, and finally refined a batch of useless pills!

Under Gongsun Yangyan's sneer, Zhang Kun continued to try for the second time without getting angry. After all, the materials here are inexhaustible, and it doesn't matter how many times he fails.

But this does not mean that Zhang Kun will be slack in alchemy. He carefully put all his attention on alchemy. The special feature of this Yanfang Dan is that it needs to be calcined in the fire. It is three times as much as ordinary pills.

This is a great test of an alchemist's control of the flame. Such a long calcination can easily destroy the essence of the material, and it is also a test of the alchemist's spirit and internal force input.

"Uh!" Zhang Kun frowned suddenly, and the elixir in his eyes turned into ashes. He didn't control the temperature of the flame just now, and the too high temperature made the elixir unbearable.

Seeing this, Gongsun Yangyan said: "Let's take a rest first, your internal energy is still too thin, and the refining time will be interrupted after a long time."

Zhang Kun dealt with the medicine dregs, extinguished the flame in the alchemy furnace, and then sat down cross-legged to perform exercises to recover. The exercises Zhang Kun learned were nothing more than the popular ones taught by the Zhang family for free. After a long time, it has been practiced proficiently.

After recovering his internal strength, Zhang Kun tried again. This time, he was very precise with the materials he picked up at his fingertips. Gongsun Yangyan also admired it secretly when he saw it.

I have to say that Zhang Kun's talent in alchemy is really good. After two or three attempts, he seems to be familiar with the road, and with Gongsun Yangyan pointing the way, Zhang Kun's progress is very fast.

During the fifth refining, Zhang Kun had already mastered the knack of controlling the fire. Although he was still not proficient in the subsequent condensing pills, Zhang Kun still made Yanfang Dan in the end.

Looking at the dark red elixir in his hand, the elixir seemed a little cracked because of the slightly long roasting time, but it was indeed a genuine Yanfang Dan.

After Gongsun Yangyan told Zhang Kun a few things to pay attention to, Zhang Kun left the ancient mirror world with satisfaction. The mysterious voice in the ancient mirror world never appeared except during the assessment.

In fact, Zhang Kun had many questions about this and wanted to ask that voice, but he had no choice but to respond.

Back at Youjia Pharmacy, Zhang Kun regained his composure, fetched the medicinal materials and started refining, but this time there was no longer Gongsun Yangyan to guide him, and if he failed, the materials were really consumed.
