Chapter 970: Pill Talisman Structure
Zhang Xiaokai was very busy in the following year.
Most of the time, he had to refine a large amount of "Shufu Pills" by himself.
Because there are tens of thousands of green 蓑衣 tribes, and a trip can take several years. They also need to use "Shufu Dan" to regulate their bodies regularly to avoid bleeding and rupture of internal organs.
As the leader of the tribe, Green Arrow came and directly asked for long-term purchases. It hopes to get 10,000 bottles within this year.
Each furnace can only produce one bottle of 6 pills at most. In one year, 10,000 successful refinings must be completed. If you work hard every day, you will have to make 28 furnaces.
This is simply impossible.
After Zhang Xiaokai explained repeatedly, the other party was very unhappy, but finally agreed to reduce the amount to 1,000 bottles. Even so, with Zhang Xiaokai's ability alone, it was difficult for him to have any rest time.
Although Senior Sister Shali helped out, she was a newbie in alchemy after all. This line of work required a lot of practical experience, and Shali was currently unable to perform the key tasks of adjusting the medicine and watching the furnace.
Fortunately, the Green Cotton Cloth Clan offered an unusually generous reward. Not only did they pay a large amount of seashells, they also brought their own omnipotent stones and various raw materials, hoping to improve the efficiency of alchemy.
Whatever Zhang Xiaokai wants, the green straw raincoats can get it for him on the same day.
Although this ethnic group has been keeping a low profile in the Jindan Kingdom, they are now backed by a huge organization, the Feathered Self-Government Association, and are no longer what they used to be.
Green Arrow brought a group of senior pharmacists from the Abyss and foreign alchemists to Zhang Xiaokai, and built a large alchemy workshop on the spot.
Zhang Xiaokai imitated the ancient Yao people's monument and named it "Yao People's Pharmaceutical Workshop".
He hesitated at first, thinking the name was a bit too big, but Green Arrow thought it was okay.
Master Liandanzi also thought it was good: "This name is very loud, and everyone knows who the elixir is made for. Very good."
Zhang Xiaokai could only go to the temple and pray to Lord Yao to please not blame him.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble and sanction from the Dan Department, the pharmaceutical workshop is nominally affiliated with the Feathered Autonomous Association, so that it will not be influenced by the local Jindan Kingdom and will be independent of the traditional alchemy system.
In fact, the entire workshop is still managed by Zhang Xiaokai and Sha Li, who are mainly engaged in refining the two kinds of pills, "Shufu Pills" and "Dali Pills".
"Shufudan" is a special product for the green raincoat tribe. It is developed based on their special physiological structure and cannot be used for ordinary people.
After being packaged in enamel bottles, the "Dali Pills" entered various cities of the Yao tribe through the Feathered People's Autonomous Association.
So many things happened this year that Zhang Xiaokai was overwhelmed.
The master remained the same.
She held the alchemy furnace on her head, constantly trying, thinking, and correcting herself. When she was tired, she would look at the moon and live in a pure state that was enviable and admirable.
Zhang Xiaokai also officially began to promote the improvement of alchemy technology.
At the beginning of the construction, he was very nervous.
He was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and his experience in alchemy was rich among his peers, but it was not worth mentioning in the alchemy industry. Could he really do such a thing?
The master asked him, "So you mean to promote the improvement of alchemy in the future?"
"Yes, I have this idea, and I am going to let it settle for a while."
"But since we have to do it anyway, why not start now?"
Lian Danzi once again said, "Age and experience can be accumulated as long as there is time. There are many heroes and prophets born at a young age in the Yao clan. Shi Bao became a prophet at the age of 11 and replanned the entire Yancheng. Mu Ke invented tribal chess at the age of 13."
"Being young is an advantage, not a weakness."
Zhang Xiaokai couldn't help but think.
Her master's ignorance of the world and focus on facts allowed her to not be distracted by disturbing voices and see the essence of many things at a glance.
Perhaps this is the difference between genius and mediocrity.
Zhang Xiaokai began to recruit alchemists to use magic symbols and elements to improve the traditional alchemy process, but he didn't know if anyone was willing to participate.
As a result, after the news was announced through the Sand City Gazette, 30 alchemists and 4 alchemy apprentices from the Jindan Kingdom came to apply for the job.
Only then did Zhang Xiaokai realize that many people had similar ideas.
Any improvement to traditional alchemy was basically rejected and stopped by the Alchemy Department.
Many alchemists were also distressed by this, and now seeing that a large organization like the [Feathered Self-Government Association] was leading the reform, they immediately responded to the call. They came here for no other reason than to change the current stagnant status quo of alchemy.
They even brought their own design drawings and experimental records to share techniques and ideas with each other.
Although the Dan Department of the Jindan Kingdom launched several protests and negotiations, they were all blocked by Green Arrow. Seeing that there was no way out, the Dan Department also remained silent.
The pharmaceutical workshop grew rapidly. In just two years, it completed the centralized transformation of the alchemy furnaces using magic talismans and elemental magic wells, allowing one alchemist to focus on 12 furnaces, greatly improving the refining efficiency.
At the same time, improvements were made to the alchemy furnace by adding a magic box and a magnetic probe, so that the temperature inside the furnace and the stirring condition of the powder can be determined by the direction and speed of the magnetic needle on the surface of the crystal structure.
From crushing to screening, from granulation to drying, and then to shaping and packaging, this set of process techniques controlled by magic symbols and elemental crystal structures is officially named the [Drug Symbol Structure] system.
Even a novice who knows nothing about alchemy can complete a lot of preparation and basic work based on these simple operations.
In theory, any elixir recipe can be expanded through elixir talismans to free up alchemists.
The pharmaceutical workshop can produce 40,000 batches of pills every year, which has completely covered the needs of the Green Straw Coat Clan.
Based on the "Shufu Pill", alchemists also improved it to create the "Xiaoshi Pill" which is edible for humans.
The two signature pills, "Xiaoshi Pill" and "Da Li Pill", made the People's Pharmaceutical Workshop famous and became the focus of foreign exports. Since the cost of mass production is not high, the price is also relatively low. However, considering the safety issue, Da Li Pill adopts a limited sales strategy.
Zhang Xiaokai knew it very well.
This rapid progress was certainly not achieved overnight, but was the result of years of accumulation and private experiments by alchemists.
Alchemy is a practical technique that places great emphasis on experience.
On the other hand, the enamel medicine bottle specially made by senior sister Shali has also become the symbol of the pharmaceutical workshop.
After many attempts, she finally decided on the pattern, using copper wire enamel to outline a human figure on a bottle or jar, with a medicine jar on his head and wearing a robe.
This is the image of the master refining the elixir.
Different enamel medicine bottles will have the name of the medicine inside, how to take it, and what to avoid written in enamel.
The appearance of the exquisite and delicate enamel medicine bottle instantly made other medicine packaging look dull.
The senior sister also requested: "After using the medicine, users can return the intact bottles to the workshop for refund, so as to reduce unnecessary waste. It is not easy for everyone to make money, and every bit of savings counts. Besides, it is a pity to have the products made with great difficulty damaged."
This groundbreaking mechanism ensures that enamel medicine bottles are well preserved and circulated, enjoying an excellent reputation.
The original one hundred Shali handmade enamel medicine bottles have become a kind of collection, which is very valuable in the market. Different batches have different marks.
Zhang Xiaokai couldn't help but sigh that his master's judgment and vision were so advanced.
One day, dark clouds suddenly gathered and a giant snake-like monster covered in black appeared above the pharmaceutical workshop.
Green Arrow introduced: "This is Mr. Newcocos, the leader of the Behemoth clan of the Autonomous Council."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This was the first time Zhang Xiaokai saw the real Behemoth.
He had seen them before in the newspapers of Sand City and the news of Star Vision. He knew that there was a group of Behemoths in the Autonomous Association. They were creatures from the mysterious time-stop zone and possessed power almost like that of dragons.
Zhang Xiaokai quickly ran to his master and said, "Master, Mr. Newcocos is looking for you."
Lian Danzi said: "It is looking for you, talk to it properly."
Zhang Xiaokai was stunned: "Yes, Master."
Talking to the huge Behemoth is a very stressful thing in itself.
However, the other party's requirements were not complicated.
"We need some pills for the first batch of Behemoths heading to the border zone. Hunting there will require drugs like "Abdominal Soothing Pills" to help reduce digestion time, but the effect must be strong enough. The same goes for "Barrier Breaking Pills", we need a large size."
Since Behemoths hide the medicine bottles between their teeth or attach them to the polyps on their upper jaws, they don't have to worry about carrying them. They value the long-term storage of the elixir, and the enamel bottles and wax seals make them easy to use and store.
After taking on this important order, Zhang Xiaokai had to consider a question raised by Green Arrow before.
The pharmaceutical workshop needs to be further expanded to meet the increasing demand.
The elixir, which is inexpensive, easy to use and store, is finally no longer overshadowed by potions and traditional medicines and shows its power.
However, at this juncture, Lian Danzi said that she was leaving.
"Master, why?"
Zhang Xiaokai felt very frightened.
He got all his confidence from having his master by his side. He felt that no matter what situation he encountered, his master would always have a solution.
Shali was more concerned: "Master, where are you going? I'll go with you."
Lian Danzi waved his hand and handed them a piece of paper: "This is the recipe for the "Pain Relief Pill". I used some tricks to make it before, and I have been trying to correct the formula and process over the years. This version should be able to produce more stable products. The previous powerful pill is its byproduct."
"I have been away from home for nearly ten years. I want to go back and let my family know that I am safe."
The master is a person who will not change once he makes up his mind.
Zhang Xiaokai asked: "Master, will you come back?"
"I think so."
Before leaving, the master gave each of his sister and brother a small colorful flag.
"This is a gift from my elders. I'm giving it to you too. I hope you guys will be happier."
She waved her hand and said, "Let's go."
After saying this, Lian Danzi turned into a ray of light and soared into the sky.
After the master left, Zhang Xiaokai had no time to feel sad because he was too busy.
Until the end of the year, all the pills were finally delivered at the end of the year.
Senior sister took Zhang Xiaokai to the temple to worship God Yao, which is also a worship done every year.
“That tree-shaped deity…” Senior Sister whispered, “Did you see it?”
Zhang Xiaokai saw it at a glance.
There was a flag hanging on the tree-shaped stone statue, which was exactly the same as the colorful flag left by the master.
But Zhang Xiaokai had no impression of this god at all.
He consulted the theologians in the temple.
The other party said: "This gentleman has not announced his name, nor has he spread his beliefs, so we still don't know. Maybe there is some other hidden secret."
Zhang Xiaokai suddenly understood.
The master should be the apostle of this anonymous god. She hides her identity and travels around the world to save people.
Zhang Xiaokai kowtowed to the statue of God Yao first, thanking him for his blessing throughout the year as usual, and then kowtowed to the statue of the tree god.
He said silently in his heart.
Grandmaster, please bless Master to return home safely.
