Chapter 177 Scientific Alchemy



Qin Ran was so mean that he actually threatened the foodie with dry food, causing Li Shiyin and Zhuifeng to have to cheer up and study every day.

This guy found that this trick was actually useful, and he updated the hotfix overnight:

After studying every day, he would check, spot-check and examine the two poor students. If anyone failed, they would not have meals the next day.

So Li Shiyin and Zhuifeng not only had to study, but also had to study intensively.

All I can say is that for these two guys, eating is their lifelong pursuit.

Under such circumstances, Li Shiyin also learned some pharmacological knowledge...

It's not that she doesn't have enough intelligence, she just doesn't like to study. Now when she is really forced to study, she can still learn something. For example, her calligraphy and guzheng were actually learned by her father.

The same is true for Zhuifeng. This guy has the blood of a seventh-level demon beast, almost eight-level, which is very close to a divine beast. With his intelligence (especially in terms of memory), he can learn much faster than human children.

In just a dozen days, he had already mastered addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

After lunch that day, when Long Qiqi was swinging on the swing under the old locust tree, Zhuifeng was practicing calligraphy stroke by stroke on a sand table not far from her. Li Shiyin was sitting on a chair on the lawn, holding a book in her hand, reciting seriously.

The painting style was really different from their usual style, which made Long Qiqi sigh in admiration. In his heart, he also admired Qin Ran. It was really amazing that he could carve even these two pieces of rotten wood.

Qin Ran made a cup of refreshing tea, walked out of the living room, came to the locust tree, and leaned against it. He looked at the two students who were concentrating on their studies and asked Long Qiqi:

"How is your research on the Foundation Building Pill going?"

Long Qiqi felt the Qi, but hadn't condensed the Qi cyclone yet. She also took a medicinal bath, although not like Li Shiyin who took it every day for a month, but at the beginning she really hoped that she could naturally find the opportunity to condense the Qi cyclone. But she finally faced the reality, gave up the fantasy, and prepared to embrace the elixir.

With her physique, to condense the cyclone, she would probably need the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"It's almost done..." Long Qiqi swung on the swing, "Prepare two batches of medicinal herbs for me later, and I will try to refine them in the afternoon."

"Generally speaking, alchemists don't have the habit of using other people's pills." Qin Ran took a sip of tea and said, "On the one hand, I'm worried, and on the other hand, only the alchemist himself knows what kind of pill he needs... It's not that I won't help you." "I know." Long Qiqi said, "I learned your alchemy skills, and now I'm half an alchemist. Once I refine the foundation-building pill, I can say that I'm also an alchemist. I know what you mean, and I won't complain about you."

Long Qiqi was a dark-minded and petty girl. Qin Ran was really worried that she would be filled with resentment. For someone like her, he had to explain things to her clearly.

Seeing that she was indeed fine, Qin Ran smiled and said:

"You know what? In fact, other alchemists don't keep records for themselves when they are refining pills, nor do they change the recipe according to their actual situation. They just try their best to stick to the recipe. If the pill fails, it is due to the technique, not the recipe.

"Other alchemists, including my master. Only I, and now you, the two of us, can make pills this way... research the recipe in advance, study the pharmacology, change the recipe, keep records of the alchemy, etc. I call it scientific alchemy."

"But don't they know how to study pharmacology?" Long Qiqi asked. If they understand pharmacology and find that the dosage of the medicinal material is wrong, then they should change it!

"If you get an ancient recipe for an elixir developed by a famous alchemist in ancient times, and you find that the dosage of one of the ingredients is wrong and does not conform to the pharmacology you have learned, would you think it is the master's problem or your own problem?"

Qin Ran smiled and asked Long Qiqi, "Isn't this what the master did on purpose? This amount is exactly what is needed to refine this pill. What do you think?"

Long Qiqi was silent. If she had not done research with Qin Ran... and learned alchemy, she would definitely not suspect that there was a problem with the recipe. She would only think that her alchemy skills were not good enough.

"Don't be afraid of natural disasters, don't follow the ancestors, and don't be concerned about what people say." Qin Ran looked at Long Qiqi and finally said, "Child, don't believe in authority, believe in the truth."

Long Qiqi nodded with a serious face.

…This girl had a snake-like face at first, but the food at Danfeng and Qin Ran’s cooking skills were so good that she had gained a lot of weight without realizing it.

In the afternoon, Long Qiqi started his second alchemy.

It was still in the Earth Flame Room, but the alchemy furnace had been replaced with a small one that was suitable for her to operate.

This time, Long Qiqi was familiar with the process. She activated the formation skillfully and threw herbs into the furnace according to the quantity she had researched that was suitable for her.

Throw in the herbs, extract, separate; throw in the herbs again, extract again, separate again... With experience and sufficient preparation in advance, Long Qiqi added the herbs one by one, and soon finished adding the herbs. After she finished extracting, she started to make the pill.

Even though she had experienced a furnace explosion before, Long Qiqi didn't have any psychological trauma due to her character. She simply increased the fire...

Long Qiqi walked out of the research building, turned the corner, walked along the river, and found Qin Ran planting saplings by the lake.

Qin Ran added soil to the willow branches he had just planted, and turned around to see Long Qiqi... This girl had a complicated expression. He couldn't understand it for a moment.

"You look like this, did you succeed or fail in refining the elixir?!" He was still squatting on the ground, and asked Long Qiqi with a smile, "In such a short time, you should have only refined one furnace, right?"

Long Qiqi came up to him and spread out her chubby little hands in front of Qin Ran's face, revealing three black pills in her palms.

Looking at the three pills in front of him, Qin Ran's expression became interesting. This color, this smell, they are poison pills! !

"Let me see the alchemy records." He said to Long Qiqi.

With his other hand, Long Qiqi took out a copy of the alchemy record and handed it to him.

Qin Ran read along the alchemy records, and just like last time, there was nothing wrong with the process, and the medicinal materials were fine, but... there was something wrong with the final pill!

He took another pill and probed into it with his soul, analyzing the structure and composition of the pill and deducing its specific effects.

really……

The main function of the Foundation Establishment Pill is to help condense cyclones, while the main function of this pill is to disperse cyclones!

Qin Ran stood up, took a deep breath, looked at the pill, then looked at Long Qiqi, and finally said: "How about...you try it?!"

When all impossibilities are eliminated, then no matter how unbelievable or outrageous the remaining possibility may seem, it is the fact and the truth.

This pill was made by Long Qiqi according to his own requirements, and it eventually became a poisonous pill. So, isn't it not so unreasonable to infer that Long Qiqi is a poisonous snake?

Long Qiqi actually wanted to give it a try. She looked around and found that Li Shiyin was not there, so she handed another one to Qin Ran and only took one for herself.

After taking a deep breath, she looked at Qin Ran and said, "My bones are very weak anyway, so it doesn't matter what I cultivate. But you have to make sure I don't die."

Kieran nodded.

Then, Long Qiqi stuffed the black pill into his mouth.
