Lovely Wife from Heaven: Husband, it's amazing

Chapter 65 The Immortal Cave Mansion
The two walked and chatted.Jing Ran asked the old man, "What should I call you?"

The old man said: "My name is Ge Hong, I am a Taoist priest, a person looking for immortals."

Jing Ran said: "This house is General You's house, and this mountain is General You's mountain. Does he know that you collect medicine and make alchemy here?"

Ge Hong said: "Of course he knows, he also eats the elixir I made. Xizhi and I are friends who have forgotten the years. This time, I came here for his Qilang's marriage, and you must be too." .”

Jing Ran said, "Why don't you ask me who I am?"

Ge Hong said: "Meeting by chance, there is probably no possibility of meeting again in the future, why bother to know the name."

Jing Ran pondered in his heart: No, I remember the name Ge Hong in the history book, so he doesn't seem to be a Taoist priest, right?But I forgot what it was, anyway, it's quite famous.

The two walked all the way, picking the medicine and ore all the way to the entrance of a cave.There was a special handle at the door, and the gatekeeper obviously knew Ge Hong, so he opened the door without saying anything.

Ge Hong said: "This is Wang Xizhi's alchemy room. This alchemy room must be built in a famous mountain resort where there are few people and gods. There are not many pills, so I borrowed his alchemy room to refine medicines, and help him refine some medicines by the way."

Jing Ran made up the picture in his head. If when Wang Xianzhi got married, the other guests' tables were full of chicken, duck, fish, delicacies from mountains and seas, and Wang Xizhi, Ge Hong and other immortal seekers had pills on the tables. It's so incongruous.

There is a hole on the top of the cave, like a natural skylight. The light comes in from the top of the cave. Although it is not bright, it is enough for lighting in the cave.

Ge Hong introduced that alchemy belongs to outer alchemy, while inner alchemy is actually qigong, using Taoist theories such as the change of yin and yang, the generation and restraint of the five elements, the unity of heaven and man, and the correspondence between heaven and man to use the human body itself as an alchemy furnace to refine alchemy. Qi Yun all over the body.

This alchemy is very particular, and what is needed is tools and equipment such as alchemy furnace, alchemy tripod, water sea, pomegranate jar, sweet snail, mercury pump, Huachi, grinder, silk sieve, and horsetail.

The materials used in alchemy are also very rich, including animals, plants, metals, stones, etc. These stones are actually various ores, such as salt, mica, gall alum, saltpeter, alunite, stalactite and so on.

After Jing Ran looked at the pile of stones on the ground, he felt that the truth is that anything can make alchemy, it just depends on how to match it. According to Ge Hong, even arsenic is a must for alchemy.

Wang Xizhi's alchemy furnace is exactly the same as the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun in the TV series Journey to the West. It is shaped like a gourd, with three layers inside and three legs below, so that the alchemy furnace cannot touch the ground.

There is also a complex mercury extractor, which is a distiller for extracting mercury from cinnabar.The distiller is divided into two parts, the upper part is shaped like a round-bottomed flask, called "pomegranate pot", and the lower part is shaped like a barrel, called "Gan Guozi".When in use, heat it so that the mercury vapor generated in the tank becomes liquid mercury in the cold water of Ganfuzi.

Mercury, as modern people know, is the liquid in the thermometer. We have been told from childhood that this thing is highly toxic and should never be eaten.

But, these cultivators spent so much time trying to refine this thing to eat.And look at Ge Hong, who eats all day and is still alive, and still looks quite young. I really can't explain this phenomenon.
