A romantic encounter with a miraculous doctor

After confirming the aura concentration of Cordyceps sinensis, Ye Wutian said, "20 grams."

Compared with the ten catties just now, these 20 grams are really insignificant, but the price of 20 grams of Cordyceps sinensis is not cheap.

Then, Ye Wutian bought more than ten catties of blue skyflower, Pinellia pinellia and a few flavors of auxiliary spiritual materials, a lot of big bags and small bags, and spent a total of 8000 yuan.

Just as Ye Wutian was paying, a middle-aged man with unkempt hair, rolled up sleeves and trousers, and worn-out yellow rubber shoes walked in excitedly.I saw that his right hand was hidden in the coat, and the left hand was tightly covering the coat, as if he was holding some treasure.

Judging from his attire, he should be a nearby mountain dweller, and he seems to have just come down from the mountain.

At this time, there was only Ye Wutian in the store. The man glanced at him, then walked to the cabinet closest to Ye Wutian, and asked in a low voice to a salesperson at the counter: "Do you want wild ginseng?" No?"

"Come on, take out the ingredients and have a look." The salesman said.

After hesitating for a moment, the man slowly pulled his right hand out of his arms. In his right hand, he was holding a large ginseng tree.

Seeing the ginseng tree in the man's hand, the salesman was a little surprised, and immediately called the experienced old man over.

The old man put on reading glasses, picked up the ginseng and looked at it carefully for a while, finally shook his head, and said: "The root of your ginseng is white and crisp, and the horizontal stripes on the top of the hair root are rough, superficial and incoherent, obviously it is not pure mountain ginseng. .”

"You're talking nonsense. I dug this from the deep mountains. How could it not be wild ginseng? I think you deliberately said it was a fake ginseng, and then told me to sell it to you at a low price." The man said unconvinced.

"I can tell you responsibly that this is a common plant called asparagus ginseng. It has a fat body and long beards. It is as brittle as a radish, but its value is even lower than that of a radish, let alone bought at a low price. , even if you give it to me for free, I don't want it." The old man said seriously.

"Hmph! Stop lying. I think you called me a fake ginseng because I exposed the trick." The man snatched the ginseng from the old man's hand as he spoke.

"Since you don't believe it, then you can sell it in other pharmacies yourself." The old man didn't bother to talk to him.

The man cursed a few words, then stuffed the ginseng into his coat, turned around and walked out of the shop.

Just as he walked to the door of the store, Ye Wutian called him down, "Uncle, can you show me the ginseng tree in your hand."

The man looked back at Ye Wutian, looked him around, and said cautiously: "If you don't buy it, don't waste my time."

"Of course I asked you to show it to me because I wanted to buy it." Ye Wutian walked towards the man while talking.

The man rolled his eyes, then took out the ginseng and handed it to Ye Wutian.

Seeing this scene, the old man in the store kindly reminded: "Young man, don't think that this thing looks like ginseng, but it's just an ordinary grass root. Don't be fooled."

"Old man, shut up your stinking mouth, if you dare to slander my ginseng again, I won't smash your shop." The man threatened the old man with his eyes wide open, and then said to Ye Wutian with a smile: "Little brother, don't listen to this old man's nonsense. If you know what to buy, I will sell you this wild ginseng at a low price."

"Oh? Ask for a price." Ye Wutian asked curiously.

The man hesitated for a long time, and finally stretched out his five fingers and said, "Five hundred."

Ye Wutian smiled and said: "Such a big wild ginseng sells for five hundred, which is indeed cheap enough."

"That's right!" the man echoed.

"I think you should have gone to a lot of pharmacies, but you were all told that it was fake ginseng, right?" Ye Wutian asked.

The man looked embarrassed, obviously he had been guessed.

Therefore, Ye Wutian simply said: "200 yuan per tree, I will take all the trees you have."

As the old man said, this is indeed a common grass root called Longxushen. Although it has no medicinal value, it is one of the auxiliary spiritual materials for refining Xuanling Pill.

Because it is extremely picky about the growth environment, it is still a bit difficult to find it deliberately, but as long as you can find one, there must be a large area growing nearby.Because of this, Ye Wutian proposed a large number of acquisitions.

Hearing what Ye Wutian said, the man was obviously a little moved. He asked several pharmacies before, but they all concluded that it was a fake ginseng.Now someone is willing to buy these fake ginseng in large quantities, of course he is happy, but the price of 200 yuan still makes him hesitate.

Seeing the man's hesitant look, Ye Wutian reminded: "I think you must know that this is a fake ginseng, not to mention that it is sold in large quantities, you may not even be able to sell one. "

After being told by Ye Wutian, the man finally agreed.

Then, the man took Ye Wutian to the place where he found the Longxu ginseng.

According to the man, the place where he found this ginseng tree was in a remote valley in the mountains on the outskirts of Nanling.

After Ye Wutian parked the car in the parking lot, he walked towards the mountain with the man.

Under the leadership of the man, the two climbed over mountains and ridges, and walked through the mountains for a few ten minutes before arriving at the valley that the man mentioned.

This valley is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and it is extremely dark. In a remote area where there is no sunshine all year round, Ye Wutian saw a piece of Longxu ginseng, roughly estimated that there are about forty or fifty trees.

Because this dragon's beard ginseng is not a spiritual herb, it doesn't need to be preserved in a special way. With the help of the man, Ye Wutian pulled out all the dragon's beard ginseng.Counting carefully, there are 48 trees in total, plus the previous one, a total of 49 trees.

The two of them took a lot of effort to move these dragon beard ginseng to the car.

After paying the money to the man, Ye Wutian drove back to the villa.

Back to the villa happened to be dinner time, Ye Wutian called all the maids on the dining table outside to carry the goods.

"Wutian, where did you find so many ginseng?" Seeing those ginseng, Xia Yu asked in surprise.

"These are asparagus ginseng, which have no medicinal value." Ye Wutian said.

"Then what are you doing with it? There are still so many traditional Chinese medicines." Xu Jing wondered.

"For alchemy, move to the empty room next to my room first, Wuqing, move this box of spirit stones to your room." Ye Wutian ordered.

All the girls took action.

As soon as Ye Wuqing picked up the box of spirit stones, Ye Xiaohei jumped onto the box excitedly, chirping non-stop, presumably he had already smelled the breath of spirit stones.

"Where's Shiyue?" Ye Wutian asked without seeing Lin Shiyue.

"Sister Shiyue went on a trip with her parents yesterday." Fan Xiaoling replied.

Ye Wutian nodded, then picked up the few Asparagus plants left in the carriage, and walked into the house.

After dinner, Ye Wutian came to the empty room and began to study the art of alchemy.

He was not in a hurry to start practicing, but first carefully read the book that Deadwood gave him.This book not only records the complete refining methods of elixir, but also many notes of dead wood, most of which are some notes on details. With these detailed tips, you can avoid detours in the process of learning up.

Ye Wutian's memory has always been very good. After reading it through once, he has memorized most of the content in the book, and then he proceeded to the next fire practice.

Since fire is one of the four elements of alchemy, the accuracy of fire control directly affects the success or failure of alchemy and the quality of the elixir.

Ye Wutian took out the low-grade alchemy furnace that Kumu had given him, and with the infusion of true energy, the entire alchemy furnace immediately burst into bright red fireworks.The intensity of this firework can be adjusted freely, the more true energy is injected, the more vigorous the fire will be, and the precision needs long-term practice to be mastered.

After practicing for a while, Ye Wutian couldn't wait to try alchemy.

The medicinal materials bought at the pharmacy today can be used to refine two common pills, Jiedu Pill and Yangshen Pill.

Alchemy is divided into six steps: hot furnace, medicine, purification, fusion, coagulation, and furnace.

Hot furnace: Preheat the pill furnace. At this time, it is advisable to use a slow fire. The time of the hot furnace is also very particular. The initial furnace temperature required for refining different pills is different.

Medicine: Put the medicinal materials into the furnace in order. Alchemy medicinal materials pay attention to the main and auxiliary materials of the monarch and ministers. Most of the medicinal materials need to put the main medicinal materials first. The wrong order will lead to the failure of alchemy.

Purification: Use martial fire to extract the essence of medicinal materials. The higher the purity of the extraction, the higher the quality of the refined medicine.

Fusion: Fusion of the extracted medicinal essence is the most important stage. If it fails, it means that alchemy has failed.

Congealing Dan: After the essence of medicinal materials is fused, stop the fire and cool down, and condense into Dan.Some elixirs need to be refined for a period of time after they are fused, and some elixirs cannot stop the fire when they are condensed.Generally, at the stage of congealing pills, the pills have basically been successfully refined.

Out of the furnace: The elixir is successfully refined and taken out of the furnace.

After reviewing the whole process, Ye Wutian took a deep breath and started to act.

He held up the alchemy furnace with his left hand, injected true energy, and heated the furnace with a simmer.

When the temperature of the furnace was about the same, Ye Wutian lifted the lid of the furnace with true energy, and quickly added the first herb.

He is going to refine Jiedu Pill first. The main medicinal materials of Jiedu Pill are dried blood and dendrobium flowers, and several auxiliary medicinal materials. Since the refining of dried dried blood is a bit more difficult, it has to be prepared first.

After putting an appropriate amount of dried blood into the furnace, he immediately poured a large amount of true energy into the furnace, refined the dried blood with martial fire, forced out the impurities, and retained the essence.

Soon, plumes of black smoke rose from the furnace mouth. These were impurities forced out by the spirit fire. When there was no more black smoke from the furnace mouth, it meant that the refining work had been roughly completed.

Next, add the second main medicinal material, Dendrobium, and continue to refine it with martial fire. When refining Dendrobium, the dried blood will still be further refined and purified.

After the dendrobium flower was refined, Ye Wutian added the remaining several auxiliary medicinal materials into the furnace according to the specified order to refine.
