People are fighting, the three-year period has come

Chapter 6: Developing the Pill Recipe
Together with Master Liu, he chose a two-mouthed cauldron. Xiao Yu's funds were reduced by a quarter, a full five thousand gold coins. In addition, he spent more than ten thousand to buy many medicinal herbs that were helpful for cultivation and ten first-level magic cores. His trip was over.

However, coincidentally, on the way back, Xiao Yu saw a book of medicinal material annotations written by a doctor at a street stall.

All the doctor's lifelong knowledge of pharmacology was written in this book of medicinal material annotations. With the idea that something is better than nothing, Xiao Yu spent several hundred gold coins to buy it.

…………

When he returned to his residence, it was already dark. Xiao Yu sighed that time passed so quickly. In order to avoid being seen carrying a medicine cauldron and a large bag of herbs, Xiao Yu stayed outside for several hours.

In the end, he had to rely on Wan Huayan to hide his breath before he could return to his residence.

"It would be nice if I had a storage ring. Why would I have to go through so much trouble?"

Xiao Yu rubbed his sore shoulders. He made up his mind that when he had money in the future, he would definitely get a storage ring, even if it was the lowest level.

But just think about it, the lowest price for a ring is about 100,000 gold coins, and he only has a few hundred gold coins left, so it's still too early to buy the ring.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Yu had no time to make the elixir. He did not get the elixir recipe he wanted today, and his gold coins were almost used up. So the only way now was to develop the elixir recipe himself with the purchased herbs.

Xiao Yu bought the book of medicinal material annotations in order to understand the medicinal properties of the herbs.

He planned to have a good rest and recharge his energy to start from tomorrow. He said that he would not be able to eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Lying on the bed, Xiao Yu began to fall asleep.

…………

next day
Xiao Yu got up early, sorted out the purchased medicinal herbs, and began to read the annotations of the herbs.

"Orchid flowers have a mild medicinal property. Eating them can calm your mind and nourish your spirit."

"Yanwei grass is hot in nature and can be used as medicine. Eating it can slightly speed up the circulation of fighting spirit."

…………

Every medicinal herb in the medicinal herb annotations was imprinted in Xiao Yu's mind, and he became more and more immersed in it.

This was the first time in all these years that he had read a book so seriously, and it was on pharmacology.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and the days pass by. Studying pharmacology is a very boring thing, but Xiao Yu enjoys it.

Perhaps it was because the talent of this body was too terrifying, or perhaps it was because Xiao Yu had a strong soul, which led to his excellent memory. This crazy way of acquiring knowledge was the biggest reason why he enjoyed it.

Seven days have passed in a flash

For seven days, Xiao Yu had no appetite and focused on studying the annotations of medicinal materials, hoping to understand them thoroughly as soon as possible.

Hard work pays off. After Xiao Yu's almost crazy research, he finally memorized the annotations of medicinal materials.

The most fortunate thing was that the medicinal herbs he bought all had annotations, which made him feel it was a coincidence and fortunate.

After releasing the injection, Xiao Yu took the medicine cauldron and medicinal materials to the spacious courtyard and began to prepare for his first real medicine refining.

"I hope it will be successful. If I can't develop the recipe within half a year, I can only go out and try my luck."

Xiao Yu did not spend too much time on developing the pill formula. He just kept a lucky mentality. If he did not succeed in half a year, he would give up the research and go out for training.

Without further ado, Xiao Yu decisively began to develop.

First, prepare paper and pen, and then use the knowledge of medicinal material annotations to start pairing the purchased medicinal materials.

"The marrow cleansing flower can cleanse the tendons and bones. Combined with the iron bark grass to refine the skin and the red blood vine to refine the flesh and blood, it can achieve the effect of tempering the body." "The Qi-absorbing grass, plus the Qi-moving fruit, plus the soul-tempering crystal, plus the first-level magic core, I wonder if it can speed up the cultivation... Never mind, let's do it this way first, and if it doesn't work, we can mix it again."

Medicinal materials were distributed to different areas, and different proportions of the medicinal materials were recorded on paper. This was the first step in his preparation for developing the pill formula.

Finally, all the medicinal materials were divided into thirty parts, including twenty parts for accelerating cultivation, six parts for tempering the body, and four parts for restoring fighting spirit.

In order to develop the elixir recipe with the best chance, Xiao Yu planned to start with the elixir that could restore fighting spirit.

As for the ten magic cores, Xiao Yu cannot use them for the time being, because the main function of low-level magic cores is to provide energy.

For example, elixirs that can improve levels, because the medicinal materials do not contain such huge energy, the main content must be the magic core. The medicinal materials only neutralize the energy of the magic core, making its violent energy stable and mild, suitable for human absorption.

Taking out two medicine cauldrons, Xiao Yu began to refine the medicinal materials.

"First, add the purple-leafed orchid grass for refining, then add the vitality fruit, and finally add the ten-year-old spirit gathering grass..."

Xiao Yu put the medicinal herbs one by one into the medicine cauldron for extraction. He stared at the situation inside the cauldron intently, recording every slightest change.

As for the refining stage, there would be no problem as long as the temperature was controlled properly. With the previous experience in refining flowers and plants, Xiao Yu was not bad at flame control.

After being tempered by thunder, the essence of the medicinal materials is just like the essence of flowers and plants, purer and free of impurities.

Soon it was time for the crucial step of fusion. The thunder in Xiao Yu's hand was ready. When he melted the essence of various elixirs together, thunder and lightning began to rage in the medicine cauldron.

I have to say, it is worthy of being called a real medicine cauldron. Even with such high temperature and violent energy, it remains intact.

But soon, Xiao Yu's face changed, because he felt the resistance to the fusion of the medicinal essence in the medicine cauldron was getting stronger and stronger.

"Oh!"

The next second, an explosion was heard and a cloud of black smoke floated out of the medicine cauldron.

The furnace exploded

Fortunately, Xiao Yu did not add the magic core. Even if it was a first-level magic core, the energy generated by the explosion would be enough to cause cracks in the two cauldrons.

Although it is not scrapped, it is worth five thousand gold coins. Even if there is a crack, it will make Xiao Yu feel sad for a while.

Xiao Yu was not at all discouraged by the failure. If he could succeed in refining the medicine on his first try, then all the alchemists on the Douqi Continent would have to die because it would be too embarrassing.

With a wave of his hand, the wind blew away all the residue in the medicine cauldron. Xiao Yu took out the paper and pen he had prepared long ago, and began to recall the various changes during the fusion, and began to record:
“The activity of the purple-leaf orchid essence is too low, while the activity of the vitality fruit essence is too high, making them difficult to blend. The proportion of the spirit-gathering grass is too small, making it impossible to mix these two extremely active essences.

The lightning was so intense that it annihilated the three essence atoms before they could disrupt and reorganize them.

The temperature must be low, otherwise the three atoms will become unstable and difficult to reassemble."

After recording the many changes in medicinal materials during the alchemy process, Xiao Yu began to redesign the proportions of medicinal materials and the intensity of thunder and fire.

The two steps of extracting medicinal materials and integrating the essence took up most of Xiao Yu's day. In addition, he had to record the changes in the alchemy process and recalculate and set new formulas. A day was gone just like that.

Therefore, developing a pill formula is an extremely tedious task. Without a teacher and a pill formula, becoming a pharmacist would be even more difficult than the road to Shu.

After revising the pill formula, Xiao Yu did not continue. After tidying up, he went to bed quickly.

For a long time in the future, he would have to spend his time like today, keeping himself well-rested to face each time of refining medicine. If he was not fully aware of the changes in the process one time, he would waste more herbs and time, which would not be worth it.
