"Huh? Why are you here? Aren't you going to grind the medicine powder?" Ye Yiyi turned her head to look at Long Junhai, not understanding why he came here at this time.
"Oh, I just heard the sound of a furnace exploding, so I came over to take a look. Usually, furnace explosions are caused by problems with fire control, otherwise this kind of situation rarely occurs." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Do you know how to make pills?" Ye Yiyi looked at Long Junhai curiously.
"Well, I have refined some before, but that was a long time ago. I don't know if I can still refine this kind of elixir now, because I rarely use elixirs. After all, elixirs will produce toxins and will have some bad effects on the body." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"You can actually make pills! I really can't tell! Since you have made pills, you must be a qualified alchemist. Do you know how to make Hunyuan Pill?" Ye Yiyi asked suspiciously.
"I really don't know how to do this." Long Junhai said very directly.
"Huh? You can't even refine the Hunyuan Pill? This is the most basic first-grade pill! What kind of pills have you refined before?" Ye Yiyi was very obsessed with pills. More than a hundred years ago, her parents died not long after returning from an alchemy conference because they failed in an alchemy competition. So she wanted to become a powerful alchemist!
"The pills I refined before were very... I don't know what level they were, but the combination of ingredients in your pill is definitely wrong." Long Junhai picked up some medicine residue and took a look. Many ingredients were not evenly mixed together. It would be strange if the furnace didn't explode in this situation!
Ye Yiyi frowned and looked at Long Junhai, then said, "What do you know? This is a second-grade Hunyuan Pill that I developed myself. Although some of the ingredients are indeed wrong, I am still experimenting. It's great to have come this far!"
"Are Hunyuan Dan divided into first-grade and second-grade?" Long Junhai was very curious. It was the first time he heard of this.
"Yes, the highest level of Hunyuan Dan can be refined is the third grade, but above the third grade, you need to fight for the pill to advance! Some pills can even be upgraded to the ninth grade! Of course, those are just terrifying legends. For alchemists, the elixir is the greatest artifact!" Ye Yiyi was confused as to why Long Junhai didn't even know such common knowledge. How did he refine the elixir in the past? Is this guy bragging? But looking at Long Junhai, it doesn't seem like it.
Ye Yiyi didn't think about it anymore and continued to study why her pills exploded in the furnace.
At this time, Long Junhai looked at the medicinal herbs around him again, then took out a frame and mixed various medicinal powders, saying, "You should know that although medicinal powder can fully combine the ingredients of medicinal herbs, some medicinal herbs will lose a lot of energy if mixed this way, and some will even have a change in quality. Therefore, not every medicinal herb needs to be ground into powder when mixed together. I was wondering why you asked me to grind medicinal powder every day? It turns out you are doing this for alchemy!"
By this time, Long Junhai had already mixed all the medicinal powders, and then continued, "This combination shouldn't be a big problem now, but to be safe, it's best to add some highly acidic medicine. I think the red star grass in the backyard is about the same. You can bring one over and try it."
"Huh? What are you doing?" Ye Yiyi asked in confusion.
"Don't you want to refine the Hunyuan Pill? I'll make some for you. You can just take a plant of Red Star Grass and refine it directly." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"What a joke! Do you understand pharmacology? The amount you put in is too much! There are too many dried leaves! The furnace will explode if you take the first step like this!" Ye Yiyi said directly.
"No, if this kind of medicinal material is not ground, one plant is enough, but after grinding, the medicinal properties will evaporate a lot. Using three times the amount of medicine should be able to make up for the previous amount." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Oh, I really don't know whether you really understand or just pretend to understand! Alchemy is not a joke. My alchemy furnace has exploded, and I need to buy a new one!" Ye Yiyi felt that Long Junhai was just fooling around.
"No alchemy furnace? That's really not convenient. How about using the pot in the kitchen to make the elixir?" Long Junhai suggested.
"What! Using a pot to make pills? Are you sure you're not making a mistake?" Ye Yiyi asked.
"What's the big deal? In fact, if you add some meat of mythical beasts into the soup and simmer it for a day and a night, the effect will be better!" Long Junhai said seriously.
Ye Yiyi laughed out of anger, then said, "Long Junhai, are you really sure you know how to make pills? I'm talking about making pills, not cooking!"
"Alchemy and cooking are the same. I prefer cooking. But since you want to make medicine, use that pot as a furnace." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll bring the pot to you, but if you don't succeed in refining it, you need to leave here, because I don't need someone who is not rigorous in researching medicinal materials!" Ye Yiyi said very seriously.
"This... I'm really not sure whether I can refine the pill, but I can be sure that what I make will definitely be much better than the Hunyuan Pill!" Long Junhai said very seriously.
"Okay, no matter what you refine in the end, even if it's just medicinal dregs, the prerequisite is that it must be better than the Hunyuan Pill!" Ye Yiyi said angrily.
"Okay, leave it to me, but I have a small request." Long Junhai said with a smile again.
"What request?" Ye Yiyi asked.
"I just want you to help me control the fire. My divine power is damaged, so you control the fire. I can make it big or small as I say. Are you willing to cooperate?" Long Junhai asked with a smile.
"Okay, as long as you are willing, anything is fine. I just want to see the final result!" Ye Yiyi said angrily.
Long Junhai nodded, brought out the big pot and red star grass from the kitchen, and also brought over a bucket of water, as if he really wanted to boil the pot and cook.
At this time, Long Junhai said: "Miss, you can heat the pot."
Ye Yiyi nodded and immediately heated the pot. Soon white steam rose from the bottom of the pot.
"It's not enough. The flame can be a little bigger." Long Junhai reminded.
"Very good, stay like this for a while."
After Long Junhai finished speaking, he poured all the herbs and red star grass he had prepared into the pot, and immediately stirred them up, making it look like he was really cooking.
When the food was almost stir-fried, Long Junhai immediately added a little water. A lot of steam rose up, filling the whole room with mist.
At this time, Long Junhai said again: "Wait until the water is almost dry and then add water. Repeat three times and the flavor will be absorbed."
