Saint Immortal Way

() Emperor Wen came over, and the old priests saluted one after another.Emperor Wen said: "Everyone, how is the refinement of my elixir going?"

"Return to the Holy One, I'm incompetent, there is no progress yet..." The leader of the priest said, waved his hand, asked a small internal officer to bring a jade bottle, opened the mouth of the bottle, and poured out a dozen grains of rutabaga The panacea came.

"Look, my lord, this is the Bigu Pill we refined. It took three hours and consumed 360 five catties of five grains to refine only 23 grains of rough Bigu Pill!" said the priest.

Emperor Wen carefully picked up the Bigu Pill and looked at it, only to see that a few Bigu Pills were ruddy in color with a faint golden light, but they were far inferior to the Bigu Pill refined in Linshui Villa.

First of all, it is good looking. The bigu pill refined in Linshui Villa is big and round, and the Dan Qi is strong and mellow. After taking it, the breath is soft and long, and it does not hurt internal organs or meridians.

As for these few grains, the luster and danqi have faded a bit, and the size is still small. Emperor Wen threw one into the mouth, then closed his eyes, opened it after a while and shook his head: "It's still not good, the quality is poor. After taking this Bigu Pill, you will feel full immediately, but if you can’t hold it for a long time, you will feel hungry!"

The faces of the old priests were reddish, and they all felt hot.

"Everyone, it's not that I'm demanding, but that the gap between this panacea and the one refined by Linshui Villa is too great, it simply can't be put on the table!" Emperor Wen sighed.

"We know the mind of the Holy One, so I will do my best to study it thoroughly, strive to improve and improve the refining process, and strive to refine the same level of panacea within a year?" The priests saluted in unison.

"One year?" Emperor Wen frowned and asked, "Masters, do you really need such a long time?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. I don't dare to lie, because this alchemy technique is brand new. We can deduce the entire refining process of the alchemy just based on the appearance of these alchemy pills. There are more difficulties encountered in it than imagined." Much more, one year is actually a conservative estimate, but if we can visit the Bailongtan Academy, everything will be solved!"

Emperor Wen shook his head and sighed: "The alchemy room of Bailongtan Academy is a forbidden area, and outsiders are not allowed to enter, even if we wait, because it will damage the interests of the academy, so I don't want to do it. I am here this time, Let me tell you two pieces of news. First, the book of alchemy is estimated to be published in the first spring. Since we can’t study it, we have to wait until then to study the book of alchemy. Anyway, the time is coming, but I really don’t know I am too willing. If I know the method of alchemy one day earlier, I will reserve the elixir one day earlier, and more people in the world will benefit. It is really impossible to delay. Second, in a few days, the major cities of Kyushu will open shops "Golden Elixir Yipintang" It will be a blessing for all of us scholars to officially start selling the elixir, but how can the elixir that is just on sale be able to satisfy the thousands of scholars in the entire dynasty? I am really anxious for my people..."

The old priests became more and more irritable, and one of the priests immediately said: "The Holy One is kind, and he is worried about the cultivation of scholars all over the world. The ministers admire it, but the Holy One, I don't know if the panacea will be sold in a few days. Is there a boy who can make alchemy? "

"I heard that some alchemy boys will come from the academy to explain the benefits of each kind of elixir!" Emperor Wen nodded.

"I'd rather be like this, tie up one of the alchemy boys, get the secret of alchemy from him, and then put him back, and everything will be solved. It's better than me waiting here to study hard. It can't be said that we have studied so much now. There was a mistake, that's why we keep refining the useless pills!"

As soon as the priest's words came out, everyone's eyes widened.Emperor Wen shook his head: "This is not what a gentleman does. If you do this, you will only damage your morality!"

The enshrineer immediately said: "Your Majesty, just pretend that you don't know. Besides, I will do it in secret later. After erasing the memory of the other party, no one will know about it. Besides, we have obtained the method of alchemy. If we don't open a shop, we won't rob it." For the interests of Bailongtan Academy, we are only waiting for the sake of scholars in the world, and before the book of alchemy is published in the world, I will only do research and reserve it!"

The other priests nodded in agreement when they heard the words: "Your Majesty, this matter will be done by the ministers. Your Majesty will wait for the news. We will only do research and storage, and we will never harm the interests of Bailongtan Academy!"

Emperor Wen thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "Okay, but it must be done in secret, so as not to make people suspicious!" The old priests were overjoyed and saluted one after another.

Three days later, a large wooden box was carried into the alchemy room, and a twelve or thirteen-year-old alchemy boy was released from the wooden box. The alchemy boy was stunned when he learned that he was kidnapped by Ouchi.

There is no need for the priests to force a confession, the alchemy boy knows everything, but it is a pity that the alchemy boy has a general understanding of the alchemy furnace and the alchemy formula, but he does not know everything, he only knows about Bigu Dan and Anshen Pill. Refining method.

But this is enough. After drawing the complete Dadu Pill Stove and writing down the recipes of Bigu Pill and Anshen Pill, the priests were completely convinced.

It turns out that there is actually a lot of mystery inside the alchemy furnace for refining Bigu Dan. If you haven't seen it, you may not be able to figure it out even if you think about it. endlessly.

The same is true for the elixir formula. After improvement, the essence of the five grains will not conflict, and it will be easier to sublimate into a stable elixir.In addition, the heat is more important. The alchemy boy also talked about the experience of the fire. In the end, the old priests rewarded him with a bowl of worry-free soup, making him forget what happened today, and let him go back.

Jindan Yipintang soon found out that there was an alchemy boy who went missing for half an hour and then returned. The Confucian teacher who led the team was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.I asked the alchemy boy again, and I didn't know anything. After checking, it was confirmed that this alchemy boy drank Wuyou soup, and he couldn't remember anything that happened today.

The Confucian teachers discussed it, and immediately sent the news back to the academy, and took protective measures for the alchemy boy.Jindan Yipintang was very nervous, naturally he did not know that the art of alchemy had been leaked to the old priests in the palace.

It is said that the old priests got the art of refining, started to cast alchemy furnaces, improved the method of alchemy, and started alchemy according to the alchemy formula. The first furnace of Bigu pills came out, and the quality was greatly improved, but there was still a little gap with the bigu pills that came from the tribute. .

The same is true for Anshen Pill, but this is already a matter of heat and alchemy techniques, it has nothing to do with craftsmanship, as long as you are familiar with the alchemy process, you can naturally refine a qualified panacea.

As for the other panacea, it is not difficult to figure it out after ten days and a half months of deliberation.The priests were very excited and started alchemy.

Emperor Wen came to inspect it in person, and he was so excited that he made several orders. One of them was to order all the [-] Huangzhuang under his control to change to the five kinds of grains used to refine Bigu Dan.The second is to prepare to arrange a new round of land reclamation tasks in various parts of Kyushu, first submit it to the cabinet for discussion and formulate policies, and then send it to the states to implement it.

But she said that Princess Shouyang came down for a few days, went to her mother, and met the empress dowager and the empress dowager. After reading it again, I really opened up a lot of contacts and won a lot of favors. Now Princess Shouyang seems to have become the most popular among the princes and daughters. Everyone will get close to her when they see her.

Ever since Princess Shouyang came back to the capital of God, she has been able to live both ways. She has lived so well. Even the crown prince has come to curry favor with her. Wang's relationship is getting better and better.

After busy work, Princess Shouyang had to go to see the situation of several Jindan first-class hall stores in Shendu. The academy had obviously invested a lot of money, and the few chain stores in Shendu chose the most crowded ones, and the richest ones were the most popular. Concentrated, set up shop in the bustling area near the top ten academies.

The day before the opening, all kinds of beautifully printed leaflets began to be distributed all over the street. Wherever people holding leaflets went, they would be excited about it, and the traffic on the street was congested.

The morals of the Great Kuang Dynasty were good. In the world dominated by scholars, the atmosphere of sincerity and kindness was passable. At least in the capital of God, it was absolutely possible to keep their doors open at night. It can be seen that most of the emperors were good people.Those leaflets, people rushed to get them, not dismissive.As for sarcasm, there is absolutely no case of turning around and stepping on the leaflet.

Tea houses, taverns, even music workshops and brothels on both sides of the street were all talking about Jindan Yipintang for a while.

Princess Shouyang walked up to the largest restaurant in Yujing City under the protection of a group of retainers, and heard the guests who were eating and drinking talking a lot.

"Hey, this prosperous and prosperous world is really interesting. Let's take a look, brothers and sisters. The so-called Jindan Yipintang sells a kind of pill. The leaflet says it's hype, but the price is astonishingly expensive. That pill A small thing is made of white silver..."

"I think it's made of golden beans, look at those kinds of panacea, they are more expensive than pure gold, my dear...... who is willing to spend such a big price?"

"Haha, don't even mention it, isn't it just a few ingots of grain silver? I heard that the ground yellow pill can strengthen the vitality and strengthen the yang. If you eat one pill, you can fight for a night. This kind of panacea is twice as expensive. I'm going to sell a few pills and try it out. If it really works, I still have 500 taels of red gold, so I can just throw it all at the Jindan Yipintang. If it doesn't work, I will find someone to tear down the signboard of his house... "

"Admiration, admiration, Mr. Yang is worthy of being a handsome young man with a lot of money, I will go with you tomorrow..."

"..."

Princess Shouyang looked at all directions and listened to all directions. Gradually, the corners of her mouth raised into a boundless smile, and Shangguanyi, who was following beside her, also smiled and said, "Your Highness, this Jindan Yipintang has been hyped up before it even opened. Everyone Just discussing, I also heard that some families have already sent many servants to line up in front of the unopened Jindan Yipin Hall!"

"What, there are already people queuing up, isn't it officially opening at noon tomorrow?" Princess Shouyang was slightly surprised.

"Who says it's not? But your Highness thinks, there will probably be too many people to grab tomorrow, so it's impossible not to line up in advance. The masters of those aristocratic families just need to send their servants to line up, and they don't have to do it themselves!"

"It seems that it is right to restrict purchases. There are too many rich people in the gods, and those century-old families have a profound heritage. If they are willing to spend money, how many panaceas are enough for them to buy..." Princess Shouyang can already predict tomorrow It was crowded at noon.
