Chapter 39 Making Compound Potion
"It's just a minor injury. It's nothing serious. I have something to do today. Let's talk another day!" Chen Nan was afraid that Ning Xuan would get tired of waiting, so he sent Qu Jieyou away with just one sentence and took Ning Xuan to the underground fire room he had booked.
Below is a huge underground cavity with rich underground fire resources, which has attracted many alchemists and spirit controllers with fire-attributed abilities to gather here!
In addition to the public areas where there is no additional charge, there are also three levels of ground fire rooms, namely A, B and C, divided according to the quality of the ground fire. Chen Nan booked a Class A ground fire room for Ning Xuan.
As soon as Ning Xuan entered the underground fire room, she felt her blood boiling. Perhaps, practicing here could speed up the awakening of her superpowers.
Chen Nan took out the alchemy furnace that Ning Xuan was going to use, the crystal bottle containing the medicine, and various exotic plants from the space button and arranged them according to her habits. Then he saw Ning Xuan sitting cross-legged with her hands on her knees, her thumb and middle finger pinched into a strange position, her eyes closed, and she entered a state of cultivation.
Chen Nan did not disturb her. He silently took out paper, pen and computer from the space button and continued to copy the house rules set by the Bai family for the contractors.
Ning Xuan meditated for two hours. She drew out the special energy produced in her body from her blood and distributed it to the meridians and acupoints. The first meridian she wanted to open was the Du meridian that runs along the back of the body and enters the top of the head. This meridian has the function of regulating and connecting the yang energy of the whole body. The Du meridian starts from the Changqiang point at the coccyx, and goes up along the midline of the spine, passing through the lumbar vertebrae and thoracic vertebrae, directly to the Dazhui point in the neck, and continues upward, across the neck, to the midline of the head, to the top of the head where the Baihui point is located, and after passing through the top of the head, it runs forward to the forehead, and finally reaches the Yingxiang point on the upper gum.
After two hours of practice, the Changqiang, Yaoyangguan, Mingmen and other acupoints in the middle of the meridians have been lit up. As long as these acupoints are lit up, the special energy produced in the body will be automatically infused into these places.
Ning Xuan discovered that when she just started practicing, the speed at which special energy was generated was quite fast. However, after meditating for an hour, the speed slowed down significantly. After another hour of practice, the efficiency became worse and worse. She felt a little tired, so she stopped!
Ning Xuan turned around and saw Chen Nan kneeling beside her and copying the Bai family rules. She felt a little hesitant. To be honest, the place Chen Nan chose was very good and suitable for her. It was not only helpful for her to learn alchemy, but also accidentally helped her awaken her superpowers. She could benefit from it.
Chen Nan noticed it the moment Ning Xuan looked at him. He did not look up, but copied more carefully. He could sense that Ning Xuan was in a stable mood at the moment, and her eyes looking at him had some of the warmth they used to have. It seemed that his showing of weakness and obedience were still useful.
Ning Xuan just felt a little soft-hearted, but then she thought again, no, no matter how suitable this place is for her, it cannot erase the fact that she was forcibly brought here by Chen Nan without her knowledge.
Humph. Ning Xuan turned around and set up the medicine furnace, selected the herbs she wanted and prepared to make medicine. She first practiced with elderberry. The energy of earth fire was much stronger than ordinary flames, and the efficiency of using earth fire to make medicine was also high. Ning Xuan only took half an hour to refine a bottle of elderberry potion.
Next, she will try to refine a compound medicine. The so-called compound medicine is a finished product recipe made by mixing multiple medicinal materials together.
Compound medicines are much more complicated than single-ingredient medicines, but Ning Xuan used to be a master of alchemy, so she is not afraid of any complicated prescription. However, now she does not have the strength she once had, so she chose a less difficult prescription to experiment with.
White flowered dragon pattern grass can clear away heat and fire toxins; night-penetrating vine has a light and dispersing nature, and can expel evil; dodder stone can consolidate qi and blood. These three herbs together form a compound medicine called heat and toxin clearing medicine.
First, extract the juice of white dragon-patterned grass and night-ghost vine, then use earth fire to calcine dodder stone until the stone is red, put it into the juice of white dragon-patterned grass, wait for the juice to be absorbed by the stone, let the stone cool, calcine dodder stone with earth fire again, burn it until the stone is red, put it into the night-ghost vine juice, absorb the juice, let it cool, put the dodder stone that has absorbed the two medicinal liquids into the medicine furnace, add water and steam it, you can get the compound medicine heat and toxin clearing medicine.
This compound medicine uses a small number of medicinal materials and has simple production steps. It mainly tests one's grasp of the temperature and the level of fine control of mental strength!
Ning Xuan tried to refine the heat-toxin clearing potion according to the steps in the textbook. Perhaps it was because of her strong mental control, or perhaps it was because she used to be a highly skilled alchemist with an outstanding control of the temperature. She succeeded after only one try. Ning Xuan looked at the two-colored potion in her hand, white on top and black on the bottom, and shook the bottle containing the potion with satisfaction. This earth fire really worked well. It was a pity that the alchemy furnace she brought was of poor quality. After refining the heat-toxin clearing potion, it suddenly exploded and she was killed!
However, she was not in a hurry. Since there were many alchemists here, there must be alchemy furnaces for sale. Even if there were none, it would not be impossible to find some materials to build one! She had to go to the market tomorrow to buy not only alchemy furnaces but also some medicinal materials!
Ning Xuan spent a lot of time practicing and refining medicine today. Although she couldn't see the sky outside, she already felt hungry. It was getting late, so she decided to go back and eat and rest!
Ning Xuan put away her things and stood up. Seeing this, Chen Nan also stood up quickly. However, he had been kneeling for too long and his knees hurt when he stood up. He fell back down with a "bang"! Ning Xuan saw that he looked weak and his movements were a little exaggerated. She suspected that he was pretending!
"You've worked so hard. How many times have you copied it?" Ning Xuan came over and took what Chen Nan had copied to have a look!
"Three times!" Chen Nan's handwriting was neat and tidy, and each word was the same size, looking like printed text. It can be seen that Chen Nan had a serious attitude and was not perfunctory.
"It's well written. Have you memorized it all?" Ning Xuan asked.
"I remember part of it!" Chen Nan answered awkwardly. In fact, with the memory of a spirit controller, if he wanted to, he only needed to copy it once or twice to remember it. However, Chen Nan rejected these contents from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, when copying, he would subconsciously block out the written content.
"Then you continue writing tonight!" Ning Xuan sneered, put the papers into her space button, turned around and left.
"Master, please walk slower, wait for me!" Chen Nan hurriedly caught up with him! He was somewhat thankful that the Master only asked him to copy the rules and did not ask him to follow them!
