Mathematics, physics and chemistry conquer the Nine Heavens Mysterious Realm

Chapter 13: Refining medicine requires scientific and rigorous
"Look! The frog has changed color! It has changed color!"

Lin Chen's live show has been perfect so far. When the onlookers watched Fairy Ling's cool-looking operations, they saw the fairy boil three black silver pills into liquid medicine, and then distilled and separated the liquids, and filtered out a layer of black-looking stuff. Then, everyone felt a little disgusted when they saw the few drops of black oil-like substance extracted by Fairy Ling.

Of course, people on Earth will have a more intuitive feeling, that is, gutter oil.

The pharmacists' first reaction was to extract the venom.

A few drops of venom were dropped onto a freshly caught frog, and the green frog's skin quickly began to change color.

Gray-black patches appeared on the back of the green frog. The frog, which was originally lively and active, gradually became sluggish. It lay in the basin and could no longer kick its legs, swim or crawl.

The alchemists, including the two examiners, were dumbfounded. They had never seen such an experiment before. The key point was that they had never imagined that the Black Silver Pill would be so poisonous...

In fact, alchemists are not sure whether the Xuanyin Pill is poisonous or not. The saying "all medicines are three-quarters poison" also points out that pills and medicines will have a certain degree of toxicity. Even the mature Chinese medical skills require six Chinese herbal medicines to be made into medicine, and the herbs need to be combined to relatively neutralize each other's toxicity in order to successfully exert their medicinal properties.

Although Western medicine on Earth is very effective and targeted, it also causes damage to the body. After all, Western medicine companies are only concerned with maximizing profits. They cure the disease you want to cure, and sell you new medicine if you get a new disease.

So whether it is Western medicine on Earth, Chinese medicine, or elixirs from the Nine Heavens Mysterious Realm, if you ask the pharmacist to guarantee that they do not contain any toxins, no one can guarantee that.

Precisely because no one can guarantee it, and because there is no precise measuring equipment in the Nine Heavens Mysterious Realm, it is difficult to detect and control what changes will occur due to slight changes in the ingredients of medicinal materials, and whether new toxins will be created.

As a result, Lin Chen's actions made even the senior pharmacists of the Immortal Pavilion, and even the pharmacists of the Dan Sect, Medicine Pavilion, Lingbao Chamber of Commerce, and Wantong Auction House who were dissatisfied with the Immortal Pavilion's dominance, all look confused...

Is this Xuanyin Pill so poisonous?
"You! You cheated!" Several alchemists who had been advocating for the Immortal Pavilion's Xuanyin Pill flushed and pointed at the frog with trembling fingers and started shouting.

"How can you boil the elixir into water like this! You! You are talking bullshit!"

"The Black Silver Pill is not poisonous at all! You are framing me!"

The three pharmacists were so anxious that they didn't have time to unify the problem before they started shouting. The few calmer pharmacists who hadn't figured out what was going on, including the Chief Saint Son of the Immortal Pavilion who was present, couldn't help but hold their foreheads and cried out in fear!
Zheng Yuefei jumped out first at this time. This is amazing. It can subvert the current technology of elixir refining!

Dao Sect is not outstanding in growing spiritual herbs and refining elixirs. Compared with professional Dan Sects and Pharmacy, as well as Chambers of Commerce and auction houses, it can only be said to have its own special red pills and Dao Dan which are similar to special elixirs. It does not have much say in the field of spiritual plants and elixirs.

But the distillation, fractionation, and liquid separation performed by Ling Wanqing in front of me were so cool, and I could see them clearly. More importantly, the props used by the fairy were very delicate, very beautiful, and very... They should be very expensive...

Pretty!

Zheng Yuefei and Ji Qingcheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This medicine refining is so thorough and clearly demonstrated...

This……

"The pill cannot be boiled into water. Do we have to swallow it directly into our stomachs and refine it?" Zheng Yuefei's counterattack first stunned an alchemist.

It seems that there is no detailed process for how the pills are absorbed after entering the mouth, but it seems that some pills should be refined after being swallowed into the stomach...

But the details of this process are not clear to everyone...

"How can it not be refined? The reason why the elixir is condensed is to preserve the spiritual energy. If it is boiled in water like this, the spiritual energy will be lost! It is simply a waste of nature's gift!"

Zheng Yuefei couldn't think of a rebuttal answer to this question for a while...

Lin Chen waved his hand. How could he let Zheng Yuefei snatch away such a high-end opportunity to show off?

Ah! Of course, I am not Ling Wanqing. Ling Wanqing obviously has no interest or ability to argue with alchemists on medicine, at least not in the past.

But now... Ling Wanqing is forced to learn Lin's scientific medicine making...

"You claim to be an expert, but you can't even make medicine! I despise you!"

"Why should I make medicine? Isn't it something that professionals should do?"

“Haha, if you have the ability, don’t take the pills. Otherwise, you won’t know whether the pills you take are poisonous, whether they are suitable for your current physical condition, and whether they can help you improve your physical condition. If you take the wrong pills, you will get a face full of pimples if it’s too light, or you will fart if it’s too heavy... Tsk tsk... pathetic... Ignorance is really pitiful..."

"I..." Ling Wanqing suddenly felt bad, because Lin Chen's math, physics and chemistry had already made Ling Wanqing feel very hurt, so what on earth was this scientific alchemy?
As a result, Ling Wanqing, who had never cared about alchemy, was awakened several times in front of unfamiliar equipment...

Of course, she woke up normally, and then was deeply frightened... Especially when the elders of Xiaoyao Jianmen Danzong were waiting for her to continue the demonstration, Ling Wanqing had no choice but to petrify herself...

I have no idea how to deal with this...

But Lin Chen enjoyed the pleasure of scientific alchemy. "Fellow Daoist Zheng, we should have a scientific and rigorous attitude towards medicine..."

"science?"

"What is science?"

"Science should be a very powerful technique..."

"Get lost! This is a kind of alchemy..."

Everyone was confused, but Ling Wanqing's voice was so nice that it made all doubts and rebuttals slow down.

"The efficacy of pills is subdivided, and different treatments should be made according to the types and types of medicinal materials. For example, fresh branches and leaves of spiritual plants should maintain their efficacy and spiritual energy as much as possible, so they are not suitable for being refined into pills at high temperatures... Of course, in order to lock in the spiritual energy, alchemy can compress the essence and spiritual energy to the maximum extent, but..."

"It's not convenient to take the spiritual plant decoction anytime..."

"It is inconvenient, but we shouldn't just keep congealing the elixir, especially using some substances containing toxins to congeal the elixir bark..." Lin Chen pointed at the frog, which was now running out of energy and lying on the bottom of the basin, and continued, "In order to pursue the so-called perfect elixir pattern, a large amount of unnecessary and even toxic minerals were added. This is a mistake in itself!"

Lin Chen's words made several senior alchemists from the Dan Sect and the Medicine Pavilion nod their heads. Obviously, as professional alchemists, they had rich experience...

"Fairy Ling, these bottles of yours, and this... this is..."

"Analytical balance..."

In fact, Lin Chen is still unable to manufacture an analytical balance with an accuracy of 0.1 mg in the Jiutian Mysterious Realm, but it is obvious that the equipment he wants to display now has to appear high-end.

"Analytical balance?"

Everyone felt dizzy and felt that the equipment Ling Wanqing took out was very high-end.

"A weighing device that can accurately adjust the efficacy of medicines and spiritual energy according to the physical conditions of different individuals..." Lin Chen used Ling Wanqing's fairy-like appearance to say this, which increased the credibility by 300%.

“Can you show me?”

Lin Chen began to demonstrate...but it was obvious that everyone still couldn't fully understand it.

But looking at Lin Chen's meticulous and rigorous process, he suddenly felt that the small scale, medicine balance, and even the secret techniques of the Medicine Sect were no longer useful. This...

"How accurate...how accurate can this be?" Ouyang Cheng, a senior alchemist at the Danyun City branch of Danzong, was a little tongue-tied as he watched Lin Chen place very small weights on the scale.

"Well, this small scale can be accurate to one hundredth of a dose (0.1 gram). If these rings are used, in the absence of wind, ground vibration, and spiritual energy interference, it can be accurate to ten thousandth of a dose, or even one hundred thousandth of a dose..."

All the alchemists took a deep breath.

"Fairy Ling, is it necessary to be so precise? This one-hundred-thousandth dose..."

"Ant venom is a toxin, just like the few drops of distilled liquid I dropped on the frog, which contain black silver ant venom and once poison...but everyone knows that poison is actually a kind of medicine. If the dosage is precisely controlled, highly toxic can be used as a special medicinal material, but this requires precision...Otherwise, even if the black silver pill itself is a good medicine, it can kill people if it is not professional, rigorous, and scientific..."

When Lin Chen said this, the Immortal Pavilion Alchemist who was still thinking of rebutting could not find a suitable excuse to refute...

“Are these clear bottles made of glass?”

"It's very precious glass..."

"Can I try?"

"It would be best if you could find similar instruments to practice with first..."

Hu Shanshan added in time, "These utensils of our senior sister are all magical treasures from outer space!"

"A magical treasure from outer space!"

Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath...

This clear, translucent bottle is so pretty!

It's so fascinating to see Fairy Ling playing with these beautiful bottles...
