In the Qin Dynasty, people changed the world by brushing entries

"Although I don't know why you think so, I can't deny that Xuan Jian might have drawn the sword to protect it."

After a long while, Wuming spoke slowly, his eyes full of solemnity.

The reason is very simple. If Xuan Jian drew his sword to follow Luo Wang's orders, that is, to kill, then the State of Wei would still have a glimmer of hope and there would be a chance of winning the war.

If he drew his sword in order to protect, it would mean that Xuan Jian was not following Luo Wang's orders, which would cause many problems.

Since it was not Luo Wang's order, then who was behind Xuan Jian's order?

The more Wuming thought about it, the more worried he became about the State of Wei.

Because he thought of a possibility: the person who ordered Xuan Jian to kill people might be someone in the Wei court.

In other words, the people of Wei were no longer united.

Under such circumstances, wanting to defeat the State of Qin is nothing but a pipe dream.

But this speculation is too absurd. Why should a killer from Luowang listen to your Wei ministers?

Although Wuming didn't quite believe this kind of thing in his heart, who could tell what the truth was?

"Forget it, forget about it. We are just staying in Daliang for a while and will leave in a few days. Whatever the truth is, it has nothing to do with us."

Bai Yuan waved his hand and quickly changed the subject.

It is better to talk less about topics like the court and state affairs. If they are accidentally spread out, there will be a lot of trouble.

Even though Bai Yuan knew the truth and the fate that Xuan Jian and his wife would face, he had no intention of changing it.

When you are out, it is better to mind your own business.

Just then, the food was served one after another. Bai Yuan and the others tacitly forgot about the previous topic and concentrated on enjoying the lunch.

I have to say that the dishes in this restaurant look quite exquisite, but the taste is still a little worse than what Bai Yuan cooks. It is not very delicious and can only be used to fill the stomach.

After dinner, Shopkeeper Lin suggested taking them around the city to see if there was anything they wanted to buy.

Considering that Daliang is not very peaceful nowadays, Bai Yuan and others refused.

Back at Xuanxin Pavilion, Shopkeeper Lin was still serving them, and Bai Yuan was a little annoyed.

"You don't have to follow us around. Just prepare what we need as soon as possible. Oh, and prepare some old ginseng or other medicinal herbs for me. I can use them."

"Okay! I'll get it right now!"

After hearing Bai Yuan's instructions, Shopkeeper Lin smiled brightly.

The master is willing to give me a task, which means he values ​​me!

Looking at the leaving Shopkeeper Lin, Bai Yuan smiled and shook his head.

"Why did you suddenly tell him that you needed medicine? Are you not feeling well?"

Wuming asked with some curiosity.

"Not really. He did something for us, so I can't just not show any appreciation. So I thought of refining a furnace of elixirs. On the one hand, we can take them with us for emergencies, and on the other hand, it can be considered as a way of repaying him."

Bai Yuan shook his head slightly.

"Oh? I didn't expect you know so much."

"so far so good."

Bai Yuan waved his hand modestly.

As for the actual situation, only he himself knows.

The art of alchemy is a unique skill developed by Taoism, but most people think that elixir is a kind of external object, so they don't spend too much time on it, and there are very few people who are proficient in alchemy.

Bai Yuan learned all of Tianzong's skills, naturally including the art of alchemy, but he only knew the theory and had never put it into practice.

Now that the system has opened up life skills, he has long discovered that alchemy is among them.

With the previous experience of activating hunting and other skills, he guessed that as long as he refined a furnace of pills, he should be able to activate this alchemy technique, so he asked Shopkeeper Lin for some medicinal materials.

As for what the outcome will be, he is still confident.

At most it's just a waste of medicinal herbs. I believe Manager Lin won't mind.

Bai Yuan sat in the room for a while. Wuming and Lu had also gone back to rest. At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

"Master Bai Yuan, I have brought the herbs and scrolls you requested."

Shopkeeper Lin was holding a tray with some medicinal herbs on it. He put the tray on the table and took out a blank scroll from his arms.

Bai Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

I didn't expect that Shopkeeper Lin was so efficient.

There were ready-made brushes and inkstones in the room. Bai Yuan took the scroll, spread it on the table, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink and prepared to start writing.

Shopkeeper Lin said tactfully, "Master Bai Yuan, I'll be busy now. If you need anything, just tell the maid at the door. I'll be back soon!"

"go Go!"

Bai Yuan waved his hand and began to write his complaint.

Chapter 24 Alchemy is art, and art is...

In this letter of complaint, Bai Yuan exaggerated his experiences of the past month.

For example, the food was bad, the accommodation was bad, and it took untold hardships and dangers to reach the Wei capital Daliang. On the way, he was inexplicably assassinated by Luowang killers. Mr. Wuming was seriously injured. If he had not been lucky enough to meet the successor of a medical family, he would have died. These things were all exaggerated by Bai Yuan.

After checking it twice, Bai Yuan believed that Chi Songzi would be furious after seeing the letter and would try to avenge him, so he rolled it up and sealed it with satisfaction.

After doing all this, he checked the medicinal herbs brought by Shopkeeper Lin.

Although he only asked Manager Lin to take some medicinal herbs of sufficient age, he found that the herbs Manager Lin brought were relatively precious, and there was even a thousand-year-old ginseng.

Shopkeeper Lin really knows how to get things done!

Putting down the herbs, Bai Yuan walked to the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a beautiful maid waiting there, awaiting his orders.

"Go and help me call Manager Lin over."

"Please wait a moment, sir!"

After the maid finished speaking, she bowed slightly and immediately ran to find Manager Lin.

Bai Yuan waited for a while and saw Manager Lin jogging over.

"Master, what can I do for you?"

"Send a trusted person to deliver this secret letter back to Tianzong as soon as possible."

Bai Yuan handed the letter of complaint he had just written to Shopkeeper Lin.

Shopkeeper Lin carefully took the sealed letter and nodded solemnly.

"Master, please rest assured. I will arrange for someone to send the letter back immediately!"

After Shopkeeper Lin put away the letter, Bai Yuan pointed to the herbs on the table and asked, "Where is the alchemy room? I plan to use those herbs to make a furnace of elixirs."

Xuanxin Pavilion is a Taoist stronghold and sells elixirs and other things, so it must have a special alchemy room.

Hearing Bai Yuan say that he wanted to make pills, Shopkeeper Lin was delighted. He had been guessing what Bai Yuan would do with these herbs, so he specially took some of the more precious and more effective ones.

Unexpectedly, the medicinal properties of the pills Bai Yuan refines will definitely be better. If he is happy, he might have a chance to get one or two.

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Lin was delighted and smiled as he led Bai Yuan on the way.

"Please follow me! The alchemy room is in the backyard. It's quieter there, and the feng shui is better."

Bai Yuan nodded and followed him to the alchemy room. The maid beside him helped him carry the herbs and followed behind the two of them.

The backyard was not far away, and they soon arrived at the alchemy room. The alchemy room was not big, and there was only a copper alchemy furnace, a futon and a small table in it.

There are many small jade bottles on the table.

The maid put down the herbs and stepped aside.

Bai Yuan took a look at the environment here, nodded, and then said to Shopkeeper Lin: "Okay, you can leave now. Don't let anyone disturb me from now on."

"Yes, yes, Master, we'll leave first then!"

Shopkeeper Lin nodded, knowing that he could not disturb Bai Yuan while he was refining the elixir. He winked at the maid beside him and took her out of the elixir room.

After leaving, he immediately gave an order not to allow anyone to approach the backyard to prevent disturbing Bai Yuan.

In the alchemy room, Bai Yuan began his first alchemy journey according to what he learned in Taoism.

After lighting the fire, Bai Yuan sat on the cushion. He used his left hand to control the size of the fire, while his right hand began to select medicinal herbs.

Picking up an inconspicuous herb at random, he controlled the alchemy furnace to open a mechanism, threw the herb in, and used flames to purify its essence.

Although it was his first time to make elixirs, he had good control over the fire. The temperature in the alchemy furnace was neither too high nor too low, and the herbs were not directly burned to ashes after entering the furnace.

He carefully controlled the flame, staring at the herb tumbling in the flame, watching it gradually burn away by the flame, leaving behind a thumb-sized ball of translucent liquid.

At this point the extraction is complete, and this ball of liquid is the herbal essence that has just been extracted.

Take out the liquid and put it in a small jade bottle for later use.

Then Bai Yuan repeated the previous steps, threw another herb into the alchemy furnace and continued refining.

During this process, Bai Yuan had been concentrating on staring at the alchemy furnace, carefully controlling the temperature of the flame. If he was not careful, everything he had done before would be in vain.

After extracting three herbs in succession, Bai Yuan did not take any more herbs. Instead, he prepared to start the next step, using the pill fire to fuse the extracted essences together to form a real pill.

It took Bai Yuan more than an hour just to extract the three herbs, and it also consumed a lot of his internal energy.

The next step of blending the herbal essences is also a painstaking and laborious task.

......

The sun was setting. Wuming and Lu practiced for the whole afternoon and felt hungry again, so they ran to find Bai Yuan.

Only then did they realize that Bai Yuan was not in the room.

After asking, they found out that Bai Yuan went to make the elixir shortly after lunch, and specifically instructed that no one should disturb him.

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the backyard, attracting the attention of Wuming and others.

"This direction seems to be the alchemy room. Is there something wrong with Bai Yuan?"

Without time to think about it, Wuming immediately went to check the situation.

When he got there, he saw Manager Lin directing people to put out the fire.

"Master Wuming, even you have been alarmed."

Shopkeeper Lin saw Wuming and greeted him.

"How is this going?"

"I don't know either. I just heard a loud noise in the backyard, and then someone saw that there was a fire here. I just came here."

Shopkeeper Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead, hoping that nothing serious would happen.

"Where are the Baiyuan people?"

Wuming asked somewhat worriedly.

"I'm here!"

At this time, Bai Yuan appeared out of nowhere, looking a little dusty.

When Shopkeeper Lin saw Bai Yuan's appearance, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Master Bai Yuan, are you okay? Do you want me to call a doctor to check you out?"

Bai Yuan waved his hand, indicating that it was not necessary.

"Weren't you just refining the elixir? How did it become like this?"

Wuming felt very puzzled and curious about what had happened.

If nothing unexpected happened, the noise just now must have been caused by Bai Yuan.

Isn't it just making an elixir? Why is it like tearing down a house?

Bai Yuan coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.

He was indeed refining pills just now, and had successfully refined a batch of pills.
