When Elder Luo returned to Qingyunmen with this year's new disciples, Fang Zixuan was still meditating hard in the room, and this situation had been going on for more than a month.

Damn, what else am I missing from these five holy tips, Fang Zixuan felt a little irritable in his heart.

It's a pity that when the irritable mood first appeared, that strange situation happened again, Fang Zixuan's mind was like a breeze blowing, and then Fang Zixuan's mood calmed down again.

In this regard, Fang Zixuan was no longer surprised.

Suddenly, Fang Zixuan remembered what Wang Wenguang said.

Hehe, it seems that the master had expected it, and he knew that he would have a clue in the short term, so he gave me the alchemy jade slip first, or not, instead of thinking like this, it is better to take a look at this jade slip.

Although I had seen some introductions to elixirs when I first went down the mountain to practice, it was just the most basic description of appearance, and it was not helpful for alchemy.

Fang Zixuan took out the alchemy jade slip given by Wang Wenguang.

First of all, the first part of the jade slip gave a detailed introduction to what alchemy and pharmacology were, and what made Fang Zixuan extremely surprised was that the alchemy in the martial arts world was actually relatively close to the principle of medicine in the mortal world, and two of them were the most obvious.

First, whether it is a medicine or an elixir, it is divided into "four sexes and five flavors", four natures, that is, warm and cold, corresponding to spring, summer, autumn and winter, and although there is still a taste of flat, in fact, it is just that the nature of cold and heat is not obvious, in fact, there is a little bit of temperature or coolness, and its sex is relatively speaking, and it does not exceed the scope of the four sexes. Of course, these four sexes are not as some people think, the medicine that matures in spring is warm, the medicine that matures in summer is hot, the medicine that matures in autumn is cool, and the medicine that matures in winter is cold, which is absolutely a big fallacy. For example, ginger, which is generally harvested in winter, but it is warm, and if it is dried ginger, it is hot, and cinnamon, which is generally peeled in autumn, but it is more powerful than dried ginger, and it is very hot, so it is an important medicine for the treatment of life. Another example is the mulberry, which generally ripens in spring and summer, but it is cold. From the above examples, we can know that if the four natures are really as simple as these people think, then why should Shennong, who compiled the "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica," and Li Shizhen, who compiled the "Compendium of Materia Medica," have to travel through thousands of mountains and rivers? As for the five flavors, that is, bitterness, bitterness, sourness, sweetness, and saltiness, they correspond to the five organs, among which bitterness enters the heart, bitterness enters the lungs, acid enters the liver, sweetness enters the spleen, and saltiness enters the kidneys.

Second, whether it is the Dan prescription of ordinary medicine or the Dan prescription of spiritual medicine, it is also divided into Jun medicine, subordinate medicine, adjuvant medicine and making medicine, among which the Jun medicine is necessary, and the subordinate medicine, adjuvant medicine, and the medicine are not complete.

What is a medicine? It is a drug that targets the main disease or plays a major role in treatment and recovery.

What is a subordinate medicine? It is a medicine that assists Jun medicine to strengthen the treatment of the main disease and recover.

What is an adjuvant? It is a drug that assists Jun Yao to strengthen the treatment, restore the effect, or treat the secondary syndrome.

The first is the medicine that can introduce the medicine in the middle of the prescription to reach the disease, and the second is the medicine that can be used to harmonize the medicine.

The reason why Fang Zixuan knew the principle of the prescription in the mortal world was that Ma Guizhi mentioned it when he was talking to him in Erhe Village before.

Here, I have to mention two kinds of medicines, one is licorice, which is known as the old man in the mortal world, because a famous mortal doctor Tao Hongjing once said: Licorice is the king of all medicines, and there are few people who don't use it. It has merit in reconciling all medicines, and can be called "national elders". Moreover, among the 265 prescriptions in the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", 154 prescriptions use licorice, either for the king medicine or for the medicine. Therefore, the title of national elder, licorice can be said to be well-deserved.

The other is the Shennong grass in the martial arts world, which can also be called the "national elder", which is the only one in the elixir that is not divided into grades, and the reason why it is not divided into grades is because it is almost suitable for sixty percent of the elixirs from one to eight grades. The biggest feature of Shennong grass is that it depends on the year, for example, if the eight-pin pill is to use Shennongcao, then it will be at least 10,000 years old, and the one-pin pill Huiqi Dan can be more than fifty years old.

And the reason why this spiritual grass is called Shennong Grass is because it is rumored that he is one of the three ancestors of the Five Elements Continent, and he tasted the herbs of the world, and then wrote the first medicine book of the Five Elements Continent: "Shennong's Materia Medica". And this "Shennong's Materia Medica" is divided into two parts, the upper part is "Shennong's Materia Medica", and the lower part is "Shennong's Materia Medica". It is even rumored that Shennong discovered the tea leaves, and then instructed mortals and warriors to plant ordinary tea trees and spirit tea trees respectively. Based on Shennong's great contribution to all the people in the Five Elements Continent, later generations renamed this important spiritual grass at the level of "national elders" to Shennong grass. In addition, Shennong is the inventor of agriculture in the Five Elements Continent: Bao Xi's is not, Shennong's is made, the wood is the plow, the wood is kneaded, and the benefits of the plow are used to teach the world and cover the benefits. Without the original agriculture, relying on gathering, fishing and hunting alone would not be enough to make the population of the Five Elements Continent grow rapidly, and without these basic populations, the warrior would have no roots. Therefore, even now, there are still many places where there are statues of Shennong, and even temples, and then they will go to worship incense every year, whether it is the world of mortals or the world of warriors, all the people in the Five Elements Continent have a very high respect for Shennong, one of the three ancestors, especially the people in the alchemy hall, it is a small sacrifice every 100 years, a middle sacrifice for a thousand years, and a big sacrifice for 10,000 years.

However, perhaps it was Shennong's limited energy at that time, or perhaps in view of Shennong's own lack of cognition, it was inevitable that there were some errors and omissions in the "Shennong's Materia Medica", so there was later Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica", but this did not affect the status of "Shennong's Materia Medica" in the hearts of the people of the Five Elements Continent. Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" is very good, but he also stood on the shoulders of giants such as Shennong and other medical sages to achieve this achievement.

Of course, there are many different places, and the first difference is the dosage form. For example, there are three kinds of medicines in the mortal world according to major categories, liquid dosage form, solid dosage form, semi-solid dosage form, and liquid dosage form is divided into decoction, liquor, dew, syrup, etc., solid dosage form is divided into powder, pill, strip, granule, suppository, etc., semi-solid dosage form is the simplest, only one ointment.

Alchemy, on the other hand, is much simpler, with only three types: decoction, liquor, and pills. As for the liquor, there is another saying: elixir wine.

The second difference is that mortals who take a lot of medicine should pay attention to the time of taking the medicine, so that the effect of the medicine can be more fully exerted, for example: if the disease is above the chest and diaphragm, eat first and then take the medicine; if the disease is below the heart and abdomen, take the medicine first and then eat; if the disease is in the limbs and blood vessels, it is advisable to eat on an empty stomach; and if the disease is in the bone marrow, it is advisable to eat at night. This is because if the disease is in the upper coke or irritating the stomach and intestines, it is advisable to take it after eating, if the disease is in the lower coke, it is advisable to take it before eating, and the tonic and laxative medicine should be taken on an empty stomach.

Alchemy, on the other hand, is extremely simple, except for a very small number of medicines that must be taken on time, most of the rest of the medicines have no requirement for this, because martial artists have more aura than mortals.

Looking at it, especially when he saw one of the words, Fang Zixuan refreshed his cognition of alchemy: alchemy, like mortal prescriptions, is not simply a fusion of various medicinal materials with similar effects, such as hemostatic pills, which are not simply elixirs to stop bleeding and replenish blood, but also yellow ginseng that blindly replenishes spiritual energy, as the so-called "tangible blood cannot be born quickly, and invisible qi should be urgent". In addition, the collocation of the elixir year in the pill is also extremely important, not that the higher the year of the elixir, the better, because the higher the year, the stronger the medicine. If the medicinal power of other elixirs is low, and the medicinal power of a certain elixir is too strong, then it will destroy the balance of the medicinal power of this elixir, and the consequences of this will be that you can only practice the lowest grade elixir or fake pill, or you can directly explode the pill.

After reading the introduction of alchemy and its pharmacology, the following article is to introduce various elixirs, but they are all some elixirs below the fourth grade, it seems that Qingyunmen is estimated to be because the alchemist is only the highest fourth grade. In this, Fang Zixuan saw a lot of elixirs that he had been exposed to, such as yellow ginseng, twin fruits, and so on.

However, the elixir introduced here is much more detailed than what I have been exposed to before, which not only introduces the environment in which the elixir grows, but also has a picture to introduce its appearance, medicinal properties, efficacy, and application, and there are some places to pay attention to and taboo, and even some also mention the differences between the elixir similar to this elixir, so as not to confuse the medicine when alchemy, it will be fatal, alchemy failure and even the explosion of the furnace is a trivial matter, if you accidentally happen to alchemy, it will happen to a big thing if you eat it, it will be counterproductive, and it will be fatal。 So some people sighed: Yong (alchemist) master does not use a knife to kill.

The last article is to introduce the Dan prescription of various pills from one to four grades, because the martial artists below the realm of the Martial King account for the majority, so the Dan prescription below the fourth grade is simply announced to all the martial artists in the entire Five Elements Continent, and even some of the Dan prescriptions above the fifth grade are not privately hidden, of course, those important middle and high-level Dan prescriptions must be kept secret. But don't think that you can do alchemy if you have a pill recipe, if you don't have an alchemy technique to match it, then you just wait to go bankrupt. Therefore, the alchemy technique is the secret collection of those sects, families and alchemist alliances, not their own people, and they will never be passed on lightly.

Fang Zixuan looked at it very carefully, almost word by word, because Fang Zixuan knew that whether the cultivation of the Five Holy Techniques would be smooth or not in the future would depend on his alchemy level, and this was the foundation of the alchemy foundation, and it was the most important thing, he couldn't help but feel that Fang Zixuan was not very attentive, this is the same as cultivation, and when the foundation is laid, the future journey can be smooth.

Unconsciously, Fang Zixuan was immersed in the world of pills and couldn't extricate himself.
