Chapter 51: Alchemy
"Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo, I'm here!" Zhou Yan shouted loudly, unceremoniously pushing open the door and walking into the small courtyard rented by Luo Zhuo.
Luo Zhuo was sitting under the tree in the small courtyard, holding a carving knife in one hand and a piece of jade in the other, the carving knife in his hand flew up and down, stone chips fell like snowflakes, and there was a pile of jade and some jade that had been carved beside him.
"Didn't your parents teach you to knock on the door?" Luo Zhuo said without raising his head.
"My parents died early, I haven't seen them like anything!" Zhou Yan glared at him and pushed back, but there was no sad look, her parents had an accident when she was not sensible, she grew up with her grandfather since she was a child, and she would not be very sad when she mentioned her deceased parents.
Luo Zhuo was choked by this sentence and didn't know what to say, put down the things in his hand, and said, "What are you doing with me, have you collected all the things?"
"I have found all the medicinal materials on the prescription you prescribed, and I have also prepared a batch of jade. Zhou Yan said, looking at the jade and jade all over the ground, and said with some doubts: "You don't want jade to do this, right?
"You don't have to worry about what you do, you just know that I can save your grandfather. Luo Zhuo said flatly: "Where are the medicinal materials, did you bring them?"
"Of course not, don't you know how many kinds of medicinal herbs you prescribed? How did you bring so many medicinal herbs, the medicinal herbs are all in my grandfather's place, and I am here to pick you up." Zhou Yan said.
Luo Zhuo glanced at her, she was worried that she would not save her grandfather if she had the medicinal materials, so she left the medicinal materials with Zhou Mengchun, so that Luo Zhuo could refine the medicine directly by Zhou Mengchun's side.
However, Luo Zhuo didn't say anything, and said, "I just need a suitable quiet place, let's go." ”
Zhou Yan was happy when he saw Luo Zhuo agreeing to go so happily, turned around and took the lead to walk out, his steps were a little brisker.
From beginning to end, Wang Xiaosong sat next to Luo Zhuo to practice, but Zhou Yan was not born with yin eyes, nor was he like Shu Wei and Wang Xiaosong, so he couldn't see him, and when Luo Zhuo also walked out, Wang Xiaosong honestly looked after the family and nursing home here without being instructed.
Zhou Mengchun is one of the richest people on the rich list, his residence in the capital is naturally not too shabby, in the northeast suburbs of the capital, a manor covering an area of more than ten acres, Zhou Yan's car drove directly to a gorgeous house in the center of the manor, an old man was standing there on crutches, and behind him stood an old man who was a few years younger than him, the old man was wearing a suit, and his waist was straight.
"Grandpa, why are you standing here, it's windy outside, you are careful of catching a cold. Zhou Yan jumped out of the car and grabbed Zhou Mengchun's arm.
"Hmph!" Zhou Mengchun snorted, bent over Luo Zhuo, who had just gotten out of the car, and said, "Mr. Luo, my granddaughter is young and ignorant, so Mr. is tired." ”
"It's okay, it's the same everywhere, you're better here than I am, where are the prepared things, I need a quiet room, don't let people disturb me. Luo Zhuo said.
"No problem, no one usually comes to my place, sir, just rest assured. Zhou Mengchun said.
Not long after, in a room in Zhou Mengchun's manor, Luo Zhuo sat cross-legged in the middle, and there was a half-person-high copper tripod in front of him, which was originally the best for refining medicine, but now Luo Zhuo's cultivation has not been able to open the storage space, so naturally there is no pill to use, even if there is a pill, he does not have the fire of the dantian now, and he can't refine medicine, so he asked Zhou Mengchun to prepare this copper tripod before.
There is an automated gas system under the copper tripod, which can control the temperature, which is also the power of science, refining high-grade pills may not be enough, refining low-grade pills like Heart Protecting Pills is more than enough.
The room is full of medicinal materials, the room is full of medicinal fragrance, Luo Zhuo prescribed more than 100 kinds of medicinal materials, and when Zhang Zhenbang and Zhou Yan collected medicinal materials, each one was prepared a lot, so as to prevent Luo Zhuo from refining the medicine, and he could try a few more times, that is, the Zhou family was rich and wealthy, you must know that many of the medicinal materials prescribed by Luo Zhuo are worth a lot of money, and the medicinal materials in this room alone are worth less than tens of millions.
In addition to medicinal materials, a corner of the room is also full of square jade, the quality of the jade collected by the Zhou family is much better than the ones that Luo Zhuo bought at random in the market before, and the aura contained in it is also more, according to Luo Zhuo's estimate, if the aura in this pile of jade that is almost piled up to the roof is absorbed, he should be able to break through to the fifth layer of qi training, and with the cultivation of the middle stage of qi training, the grasp of the trip to Qinling can add a few points.
Luo Zhuo closed his eyes and breathed for an hour, only then did he operate a few times on the copper tripod, ignited the gas, and began to refine the medicine, although the shape of the copper tripod is simple, but there is this LCD screen on it, which can display the temperature in it in real time, but it saves Luo Zhuo a lot of effort.
After a while, Luo Zhuo grabbed a handful of medicinal materials and threw them into the copper tripod with a flat expression, then covered the lid, and after a while, he took another medicinal material and threw it in, just like that, every once in a while he would throw a medicinal material into it, if the cultivation was still there, he could refine all the medicinal materials into liquid medicine with a single movement of his divine sense, and now he could only use this stupid method.
More than 100 kinds of medicinal materials, Luo Zhuo took five or six hours to completely put in the copper tripod, and then Luo Zhuo set the temperature, and then sat there cross-legged holding a piece of jade, waiting for the moment when the pill was baked, refining the pill, the most important step is to come out of the oven, before the smelting of the liquid medicine can be completed with technology to control the temperature, but when it is baked, it is necessary to use a special method of collecting the pill, otherwise the final refining is just a mixed liquid medicine.
"Grandpa, it's been a day, why haven't you come out yet. In the hall of the Zhou family, Zhou Yan walked around, fidgeting, Luo Zhuo had been in the quiet room for more than ten hours, and there was no movement at all, she was really anxious to wait.
"Yan Yan, you sit down, it makes me dizzy. Zhou Mengchun shook his head and smiled.
"Miss, the master of alchemy, a few months are commonplace, I have seen the Qiao family master refining medicine, and the process of combining the medicine alone took a full month. Zhang Zhenbang said with a smile.
After a few more hours, they suddenly smelled a refreshing medicinal fragrance on the tip of their noses, and in the room, Luo Zhuo's eyes suddenly opened, he lifted the lid, his hands were like lotus flowers, and one by one handprints were drawn out of his hands, only to see that within the copper tripod, a white vortex visible to the naked eye was generated.
Within a minute or two, Luo Zhuo Shaoshu also made hundreds of handprints, only to hear him shout softly: "Cheng!"
Finger-sized dark brown pills flew out of the copper tripod, swirling in the air, Luo Zhuo waved his palm, and those pills fell into a white jade porcelain bottle in front of Luo Zhuo.
The corners of Luo Zhuo's mouth raised, his face was a little pale, although in just a few minutes, the aura in his body was exhausted again, and the cultivation of the first layer of Qi cultivation was too low, and refining this low-level pill almost failed, but fortunately, in the end, it was successful, this furnace of Heart Protecting Pill became twelve pills, protecting Zhou Mengchun's heart veins so that he could rescue only two or three at most, and the rest was just kept, in addition to maintaining the heart and vein, it was also a good healing pill, his current cultivation, it was inevitable to take Kui Niu and get injured, if there is a Heart Protecting Pill, it is also an extra layer of protection。
Looking at the remaining medicinal materials, Luo Zhuo thought for a while, did not get up, but set the temperature, and continued to throw the medicinal materials into the copper tripod.
Luo Zhuo stayed in the quiet room for seven days before he walked out, when he came out of the quiet room, Zhou Yan always felt that he had changed somewhat, but he couldn't tell what had changed, but he just felt that he looked more pleasing to the eye than before.
"It must be an illusion. Zhou Yan muttered.
"What's going on? Is the medicine ready?" Zhou Yan shook his head, shook his messy thoughts out of his head, and asked eagerly.
"If I go out myself, there is no reason. Luo Zhuo threw a jade bottle in his hand and said in a good mood.
