I have a magical tree

"I remember it!" A Bao nodded and carefully put the talisman bag into his arms.

This girl has no other advantages, but she is obedient. As long as Xu Dao tells her to do something, she can complete it without any compromise.

In fact, among the three people he is teaching now, it is A Niang who has the worst qualifications who has made the fastest progress. A Niang can read and also knows some basic medical knowledge.

After all, she has been with her father Xu Tianyuan for so many years. Even if she can't cure diseases and save people, she still knows some acupuncture points and meridian directions of the human body.

That's why A Niang can get started with health-preserving exercises so quickly. On the contrary, Xiaomei and A Bao not only have to learn from reading, but also have to learn some medical knowledge.

Not to mention learning the medical skills of saving people and treating diseases, but at least you have to understand the acupuncture points and meridians of the human body, otherwise you can't even understand the professional terms in the exercises. How can you practice martial arts? You will die if you practice blindly!

"Did you remember the words I taught you yesterday?"

A Bao nodded, then grabbed a branch and drew on the ground.

Xu Dao nodded when he saw this. Although the handwriting was ugly, it was indeed written correctly!

"I have something to do these days and cannot come to the clinic, but your meals will still be based on the standards of these days. You don't need to save the meat and oil for me. Your current body is still far from the standard of martial arts practice. If you delay the progress of martial arts practice because of this, it will be a big mistake!"

Xu Dao reminded her again, fearing that this girl would feel sorry for meat and only eat white rice. Now she must speed up to make up for the body's deficiency, and meat cannot be cut off.

"Take these pills, half a pill each time, dissolve in drinking water, and drink it normally." Xu Dao took a few more pills for her.

A Bao just nodded, indicating that he remembered it.

So Xu Dao did not delay any more and went directly to Ge's house and went to the Shangyi Bureau with his teacher.

As soon as he entered the Shangyi Bureau, Ge Lao announced that he would retreat to refine pills, and arranged the affairs of various sects in the Shangyi Bureau, and then he and Xu Dao entered the alchemy room next to it.

…

In the alchemy room.

The flames were blazing, the heat waves were rolling, and it was quite uncomfortable. Xu Dao couldn't help but wipe the sweat off his face. The weather was hot, and it was even hotter here because of the fire.

"Teacher, what kind of flame is this? It never goes out?"

"Fourth-grade fire crystal spirit flame. Fire crystals are only produced in Tianhuo County of Dali. A fourth-grade fire crystal can burn for a year without going out. Its flame is stable, spiritual, and easy to control. It is an excellent choice for alchemy."

A fire crystal can burn for a year? What a magical thing!

"That's why Tianhuo County is the largest county with the most alchemists and weapon refiners in Dali."

"Isn't this thing expensive?"

Old Ge nodded, "It's indeed expensive. Fire crystals are not easy to mine, preserve, or transport, so they are very expensive in other counties. I heard that the county lord spent a lot of effort to exchange these fire crystals. It's also because it's not easy to build this alchemy room that I agreed to make pills for him every year."

Then Old Ge signaled Xu Dao to take out the medicinal materials. These medicinal materials are extremely precious and are all packed in special jade boxes. Although most of them are gifts from others, he also spent a lot of effort to collect the remaining medicinal materials, otherwise it wouldn't have been delayed until today.

After all, many medicinal materials need to be obtained outside Yanghe County and cannot be found locally. Although only a few medicinal materials are missing, they are all sky-high prices.

When Old Ge opened the box, he was very careful. From this, it can be seen that this thing is very valuable. Once it is damaged, he will also feel pain.

After that, Xu Dao stopped bothering Ge Lao, but only helped to process the medicinal materials under Ge Lao's instructions, and then put them into the largest furnace in order and at the right time.

Ge Lao sat cross-legged in front of the furnace, his martial arts blood bursting out, connecting to the flame under the furnace, thereby controlling the firepower and the temperature inside the furnace.

"Feel it carefully, not only observe my technique, but also feel my control of fire and the changes in the furnace."

Ge Lao reminded Xu Dao that alchemy has always been a meticulous process, not just throwing medicinal materials into the furnace, and you can get the elixir.

You need to understand the medicinal properties of medicinal materials, understand pharmacology, and understand the changes and conflicts of medicinal properties caused by the fusion of several medicinal materials.

No wonder Ge Lao asked Xu Dao to read those medical books, those are the basics. If the foundation is not laid, I am afraid that I can't see the reason at all. The medical theory and pharmacology involved are simply ever-changing.

You should know that each herb is unique, and its medicinal properties are naturally unique. The so-called sequence of steps can only be used as a reference, not as a criterion, requiring the pharmacist to make changes and adjustments according to the actual situation.

The timing, amount, fusion method, and speed of adding herbs are all knowledge.

No wonder pharmacists need sufficient spirituality as a talent. The so-called spirituality is actually the strength of the soul and the perception of strength. If even this threshold is not reached, then refining medicine and making pills is blind.

However, this is not so difficult for Xu Dao. First, he has been nurtured by the bronze giant tree since he was a child. The strength of the soul is far beyond that of ordinary people, and the real martial arts realm is also the peak of the seventh grade. Moreover, he has also practiced the way of refining qi.

You should know that the way of refining pills is inherited from the lineage of refining qi, which is a professional match!

Therefore, just by watching from the side, Xu Dao felt that he benefited a lot. He also had a more specific understanding of the art of refining medicine.

He was like a dry sponge, constantly absorbing water, and that water was the knowledge that Ge Lao explained while he was operating.

Some things Xu Dao couldn't actually use now, but they could increase his knowledge and broaden his thinking.

Watching the refining of the precious pills, and someone explaining it attentively, no matter where it is placed, it can be called an opportunity, and Xu Dao seized this opportunity.

He even had the energy to take a book from the bookshelf next to him and look it up, and then verify it with what the teacher said.

On the third day, even Ge Lao began to feel exhausted at this time. The time for explanation became shorter and shorter, and the words became more and more refined. Sweat began to roll down his face.

The mental and physical requirements of a warrior for refining the precious pills are very terrifying. Xu Dao felt that even if he had the skills to refine the precious pills now, he would fall into the same situation as his teacher, with only skills, but not enough mental and physical strength to support a refining.

In these three days, Xu Dao felt tired just by watching. Because he had to observe and perceive, he was extremely uncomfortable after three days of sleepless nights. It was hard to imagine the pressure the teacher was facing now.

You know, there can be no mistakes in the refining process. Once there is a mistake, a furnace of precious pills will be ruined!

Therefore, these days, Master Ge has not eaten or drunk anything, relying entirely on the warrior's physique to hold on.

Xu Dao can eat and drink, otherwise he would not have made it this far!

Another two days passed, and this is already the sixth day. The teacher's condition is getting worse and worse, and it seems that he is about to reach his limit, but Xu Dao is not worried, because this furnace of elixirs is about to be produced.
