"Are you ready?"
"I'm ready!"
"Then let's begin!"
"Okay, no problem. It's just that"
"What's wrong?"
"Senior Long, why are you hiding so far away?!!”Song Shuhang looked at the dragon floating at the edge of the window in the distance with a puzzled expression.
"Ah! "The air here is good, so I'm cool." My Dragon laughed awkwardly.
"Why don't I believe it? Senior Long, if there's any danger, you must save me!”It was impossible to say that he wasn't nervous about the unknown things that were about to happen. Moreover, the Unity Space Dragon had run so far, which made Song Shuhang, who was already nervous, a little more afraid.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!" My Dragon said," Don't worry, leave it to me!'Song Shuhang also began to move.
After opening a small box containing medicinal ingredients, Song Shuhang started to compare the recipe of Medicine Master's Body Tempering Liquid.
The small box was also divided into four layers, and each layer had about ten kinds of medicinal herbs.
" Ginseng, Wolfberry, Sunrise Stone, Fragrance of Women..." Soon, Song Shuhang finished checking the first thirty kinds of medicinal herbs that could be found online.
Morning Dew Mystic Grass, Fresh Overlord Branch, Nine Yang Scarlet Flame Bamboo slices, and other things.
Fortunately, Soft Feather was a very attentive woman. When Song Shuhang was checking the ingredients, he found that the ingredients in the small box had already been arranged according to the order on the pill formula, from left to right and from top to bottom.
Even the portions of the medicinal herbs had been divided.
"A meticulous and gentle girl is the best.”Song Shuhang heaved a sigh of relief.”
According to the pill formula, when refining the 'Body Tempering Liquid,' one had to follow the order of the formula and throw the medicinal ingredients into the furnace one by one. If the sequence was wrong, it would fail. If the materials sent by Soft Feather were piled up in a mess, Song Shuhang would have a big headache.
[Put the ingredients into the furnace according to the formula and simmer for about five minutes. Put in the new ingredients and continue simmering for about five minutes. Pay attention to the heat! This cycle continued until the medicinal liquid turned into paste. The finished Body Tempering Liquid was black, transparent, and had a strong taste.] These were Medicine Master's original words.
It sounded like a very simple matter. It seemed that as long as one was careful, anyone could refine the liquid?
Indeed, the Body Tempering Liquid was merely the lowest grade 'Pill Liquid,' and couldn't even be considered medicinal pills or dregs. When refining, one did not need to consume one's own spiritual power or true qi. There was no need to use special earth fire, heaven fire, or pill fire.
Even a mortal could refine it as long as they focused!
However, it was not so easy to successfully refine it.
The heat control and the word "about" five minutes ago meant that the time was not fixed at five minutes. Instead, it required the alchemist to automatically adjust it according to his own experience and the quality of the medicinal ingredients.
Not to mention that the entire body tempering liquid contained forty-five medicinal ingredients, which was close to four hours in total. He needed to concentrate and couldn't relax for a moment. If a mortal wanted to refine this 'Body Tempering Liquid,' he would need a great deal of perseverance and experience.
Song Shuhang opened the hotpot and placed the sliced ginseng inside.
"Speaking of which, Senior Long, the pill formula didn't say whether to add water or not?”Song Shuhang didn't understand, so he asked.
"How would I know? But shouldn't he? If he didn't add it, not to mention slicing the ginseng, even the bottom of the pot would be burnt in five minutes, right?”
"But how much water should I add?"
"Let's pour a ladle of water first." My Dragon thought about what had happened and watched as Song Shuhang added a ladle of water into the pot, pressed the button of the induction cooker, and then pressed the 'stew' option.
"You're definitely the first person in history to use an induction cooker and hotpot to refine medicine.”Seeing Song Shuhang's nervous appearance, I Dragon also joked to make him relax. After a period of time, Song Shuhang's eyes were still bright, but his body was a little tired.
"The forty-first medicinal ingredient is finally coming to an end.”Song Shuhang muttered.
After hearing this, My Dragon also secretly circulated the "dragon energy" in its body. If nothing unexpected happened, an accident should have happened!
Song Shuhang didn't expect that he would be able to persist until this stage on his first attempt at refining pills. However, he was about to reach his limit. After this medicine, only the Fresh Overlord Branch and the sliced Nine Yang Scarlet Flame Bamboo were left. Deep Sea Cold Crystal, Snow Demon Core, he could last until the end!
He boiled the pot and quickly threw the forty-first medicinal ingredient into it.
Before Song Shuhang could cover the pot, something strange happened inside the pot.
When the light gray liquid that had been fused with forty medicinal ingredients came into contact with the forty medicinal ingredients, a foul and burnt smell suddenly erupted!
Half of the medicinal liquid in the pot was quickly evaporated, and in the blink of an eye, one-fifth of it was gone!
"Tsk, did it fail?" Song Shuhang said in distress. Although he had added water at the beginning, he was still wondering if he had failed from the beginning.
"Don't be discouraged. It's not completely over yet! Look, although the gray medicinal liquid was evaporating, it was still fusing with the forty-first medicinal ingredient!”Just as Song Shuhang was about to give up, the dragon's voice sounded.
In fact, the 41st medicinal ingredient was indeed the most difficult step of the 'simplified body tempering liquid'.
From this step onwards, it was actually already the final stage of the simplified body tempering medicinal liquid. The other four herbs after this one did not increase the medicinal properties.
Fresh Overlord Branch, sliced Nine Yang Scarlet Flame Bamboo; The Deep Sea Cold Crystal and the Snow Demon Core, the former two were Yang and hard, while the latter two were Yin and soft. The four medicinal ingredients were used to purify the 'simplified body tempering liquid'.
Purification was the most important step of Body Tempering Liquid. If it wasn't purified, that pot of Body Tempering Liquid would at most be a pot of nourishing soup. After drinking it, one would feel great, but the body tempering effect would be greatly reduced. After the purification step was added, the Ten Complete Great Nourishing Soup could transform into Body Tempering Liquid, turning from an ordinary medicine into an immortal liquid.
And the forty-first medicinal ingredient was the primer for purification.
This step was indeed the easiest to fail. Soft Feather had failed at this step dozens of times.
"It's evaporating too quickly. I need to slow down the process. Add water!" Song Shuhang made a desperate attempt and added a ladle of water to the pot. Although he didn't know if it would work, at least the rate at which it evaporated was much slower.
"There are still four medicinal ingredients left."
"Put all the remaining medicinal ingredients in one go and try. Anyway, he was close to failing. He would just treat it as gaining experience.”At some point, the dragon had floated to Song Shuhang's side.
The pot was boiling.
Fresh Overlord Branch, sliced Nine Yang Scarlet Flame Bamboo; The Deep Sea Cold Crystal, the Snow Demon Core, and the other four medicinal ingredients were thrown into the wok by Song Shuhang in one go.
Cover the pot!
Soon after, Song Shuhang saw the real 'hot pot of ice and fire'.
The Fresh Overlord Branch and the sliced Nine Yang Scarlet Flame Bamboo fused with a portion of the medicinal liquid. These two medicinal herbs turned red after being heated, as if they were about to burn. This portion of the medicinal liquid became even more boiling and evaporated faster. The evaporated gas spewed out from the vent of the lid like a fountain.
As for the Deep Sea Cold Crystal and the Snow Demon Core, their shells cracked when they were heated, and icy blue liquid gushed out from them. This icy blue liquid seemed to have an extremely low temperature. After fusing with the other half of the medicinal liquid, the boiling medicinal liquid began to calm down.
The temperature of the calm part was getting lower and lower, and the boiling part was evaporating faster and faster. The two portions of medicinal liquid actually showed signs of separation.
He couldn't let them separate. Song Shuhang's heart stirred, and he immediately increased the heat of the induction cooker, trying to make the cooled part boil again.
As the temperature rose, the rate at which the medicinal liquid evaporated became even faster. In less than a minute, less than a third of the original half pot of medicinal soup was left.
At most, it would evaporate in ten breaths.
"It was a complete failure." Song Shuhang laughed. After all, he was already mentally prepared, so he didn't mind failing. He stretched out his hand and was about to turn off the induction cooker. If this continued, the pot would be scorched. However, his fingers were stopped halfway by My Dragon.
"Look!" The dragon stared at the pot, and Song Shuhang also looked over. Although the medicinal liquid in the pot was evaporating faster, it was no longer polar and was fusing again. However, the temperature of the induction cooker seemed to be insufficient.
When My Dragon saw this, it opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of dragon flames, enveloping the pot. This was only condensed from the ordinary fire elements in the air that My Dragon refined. It was not some divine fire, but the temperature was not low.
As the temperature rose, the hot pot began to make strange sounds.
In the hotpot pot, ice and fire intertwined in the small hotpot, forming a beautiful shape. Two streams of medicinal liquid rolled and shook the hotpot basin.
In the end, Song Shuhang could no longer see the changes in the wok.
After the liquid evaporated, it left a thick layer of impurities on the tempered glass lid.
Drip, drip, drip…It was the sound of medicinal herbs rolling. Each roll lasted exactly one second.
Song Shuhang held his phone again and stared at the time.
He couldn't see the situation in the pot clearly, so he could only calculate the time again. He planned to inform me of the ceasefire in five minutes.
Three minutes and twenty-three seconds.
Boom...
At this moment, a high pressure suddenly surged up from the hotpot, and the lid flew out.
Immediately after, a black smoke sprayed out and enveloped the entire small kitchen. A pungent smell assailed their noses.
The smell was too strong. It was as if all the unpleasant smells in the world had been fused together. Just accidentally smelling it made him feel like vomiting.
Although My Dragon was shocked, he was already prepared to quickly circulate his dragon energy and cast a small barrier on himself.
" Ugh..." Song Shuhang pinched his nose tightly.
"So smelly." Even if he pinched his nose and held his breath, this strange stench still entered his nose and lingered there.
Seeing Song Shuhang's uncomfortable appearance, I Dragon patted Song Shuhang's shoulder and also set up an isolation barrier for him. This magical technique didn't have any defensive function, and it could only isolate air and sound. It was originally a small magical technique for private conversations, but now that I Dragon used it, it had a special effect.
Wo Long opened all the windows, and black mist drifted out from the windows. Only then did the stench in the kitchen gradually dissipate.
"This taste is simply indescribable. And the aftertaste is endless." Song Shuhang sighed. He probably wouldn't be able to forget this taste for the next two or three days. I wonder if I can eat next?
"The smell of this thing is so terrifying after it's made wrongly. It can be used as a biological weapon. If I can collect this smell, I'll release it into anyone's room in the future. I guarantee that the aftertaste will be endless.”Song Shuhang looked at the lingering black smoke and made a small joke.
"I didn't expect you to have such a sinister idea at a time like this!”My Dragon also laughed and teased Song Shuhang,
On the ground, the lid of the hotpot was still spinning. After picking up the lid, Song Shuhang felt dizzy. Exhaustion overwhelmed him. This was the fatigue that had accumulated for nearly four hours!
He hurriedly held onto the table and slowly sat down.
After resting for a moment, he pinched his nose and looked at the bottom of the pot. He wanted to see what the dragon and his medicinal liquid would look like in the end to emit such a foul smell.
In the hotpot, only a thin layer of medicinal liquid was left.
The color was black and transparent, accompanied by a pungent smell.
"It's black, like a transparent sesame paste. It's just too smelly." Song Shuhang complained.
"Eh? This…how could this be?" He suddenly thought of something and quickly took out the notebook that recorded Medicine Master's pill formula.
The medicinal liquid was paste, black in color, transparent and pungent in taste. This was how Medicine Master described the simplified version of Body Tempering Liquid.
It seemed…very similar to the thing they had refined?
