Chapter 199 Alchemy

At this time, the owner of the pharmacy listened to Zhao Mu's explanation, and the wry smile on his face became even stronger: "You are really an expert, but there is no medicine that is not bitter, and it's okay if it tastes bad. Good medicine is bitter and good for the disease... "

"That's wrong. Heal the body first, and heal the heart. If the final medicine is extremely bitter, it will be extremely repulsive for the patient to drink, and it will definitely affect the efficacy of the medicine."

Listening to Zhao Mu's eloquent tirade, the store owner's face became more distressed.

Zhao Mu didn't want to embarrass the other party, so he said directly: "Forget it, help me grab some licorice, I will use it to adjust the properties of the medicine, and it will also play a role."

Then the shop owner packed up all the medicinal materials, big and small, and put them in front of Zhao Mu: "Little brother, these medicinal materials are [-] in total, I will give you a discount, how about [-] in total. "

"Okay, I will continue to buy when I have a chance in the future, but remember not to pass it off as a good one. Next time I come, it must be genuine." The price given by the other party is also true, so Zhao Mu also plans to buy it in the future. Visit this pharmacy often.

After returning to the hotel by car, I asked the lobby manager to borrow the kitchen, and directly lifted out a pressure cooker, and then stuffed all the necessary medicinal materials into the pressure cooker.

Zhao Mu has also read many novels before, in which it is said that modern people can use pressure cookers to make alchemy, and the effect of ancient elixir furnaces is far inferior to modern pressure cookers.

Zhao Mu also wanted to try the effect of alchemy in the pressure cooker. If he could successfully refine the elixir, then he had found an efficient and convenient shortcut for alchemy.

After seeing that all the medicinal materials had entered the pressure cooker, Zhao Mu reached out and turned on the natural gas underneath, and then turned it on to the maximum firepower first, and boiled it for half an hour with a martial fire.

Not long after, the hot air in the pot came out from the hole on the top, and Zhao Mu looked nervously at the pressure cooker that gradually began to shake violently, feeling that something was wrong.

"Is there anything wrong with just boiling it like this without adding water?"

"But this is alchemy, not boiling medicinal soup, how can we add water."

Just when Zhao Mu was hesitating, the pressure cooker in front of him suddenly trembled violently, and the holes above were also squirting hot air crazily, which made Zhao Mu feel an ominous thought.

Just when Zhao Mu felt something was wrong, he suddenly found cracks on the surface of the pressure cooker, as if the dry land had not been moistened by water for a long time, as if it was about to burst in the next moment.

"Fuck!"

Zhao Mu subconsciously jumped back, and then there was a loud noise, and the pressure cooker burst open instantly, and the flying lid flew straight at Zhao Mu.

And Zhao Mu flicked around at first, easily dodging the attack of the pressure cooker lid, but the countless fragments flying in the next second made Zhao Mu tremble with fear.

He hurriedly picked up the lid of the pot in his hand to block from side to side, only to block the shot debris in front of him, but the whole kitchen was already a mess.

The blown casual sprayed almost every corner of the kitchen, especially some residual medicine residue inside, which turned the clean white walls into an abstract splash-ink landscape.

Especially those hotel managers who were attracted by the loud noise, they couldn't help but take a breath when they saw the kitchen turned into such a miserable state.

And the manager of the lobby who decided to give up the kitchen to Zhao Mu for free use was even paler at the moment, as if he was overwhelmed by the tragedy in front of him, especially thinking of how furious the boss would be about this matter, his legs couldn't help but Trembling.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... This is purely a mistake. You can count the losses. I will compensate you according to the price in a while, so you don't have to worry." Zhao Mu also said quickly, lest the other party would run away immediately because of this situation.

After calculating the statistics, the lobby manager said with an embarrassed expression: "Well... the loss of these things was about 5 yuan, but these things have been used for a while, and you are still a resident of our place... How about this, how about you take out a total of [-] yuan."

"Okay." Zhao Mu said bluntly.

After all, this was his negligence, and the hotel was not at fault, and his attitude from the beginning to the end was very kind, and Zhao Mu would not be fussy about money. If he was really short of money, Zhao Mu now has There are countless ways to directly earn these tens of thousands.

The manager of the lobby was also relieved after hearing Zhao Mu's affirmative answer. Once Zhao Mu was not satisfied with his proposal and messed around with the matter, no matter what the final result was, it would be very difficult for him as a manager. It went on steadily.So he had a good impression of Zhao Mu for agreeing to the compensation so readily.

However, Zhao Mu's mood was not so good. He was extremely disappointed with this alchemy, because he used a pressure cooker to make alchemy because of the rumors on the Internet, which almost killed him.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly at that time, and he also possessed ancient martial arts skills to easily dodge the defense, otherwise he might be smashed into a sieve by the fragments of the pressure cooker in the next moment.Even if you don't die, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out of your body.

"Well, it seems that we will have to find some normal ways to refine alchemy in the future." Zhao Mu sighed, confirming that the existence of the alchemy furnace is basically indispensable.

At this time, Huo Yongxin, who was reviewing the medical skills taught by Zhao Mu in the room, heard the noise outside, coupled with the previous bang, and then followed the sound to the kitchen, and saw Zhao who was depressed inside. animal husbandry.

"Master, why are you so depressed? What happened here?" Huo Yongxin looked at the messy kitchen and was even more confused.

"It's nothing, I just want to try alchemy. After all, Chinese medicine also has alchemy. I just want to see if I can practice the legendary elixir. In the end, I used a pressure cooker to make alchemy, and finally the whole pressure cooker exploded." Zhao Mu Said angrily.

"This..." Huo Yongxin was stunned for a moment, and then he said in surprise: "Master, of course you can't use a pressure cooker for alchemy. An alchemy furnace is essential."

"Of course I know, but in today's society, where can we find an alchemy furnace? Is it possible that we need to find a blacksmith to build a special alchemy furnace?" Zhao Mu sighed.

"It's very simple. It's true that no one makes alchemy anymore, but in the feudal era in the past, there were many alchemy furnaces left over from Taoist alchemy. We need to go to the antique market to search carefully, and we should be able to find the alchemy left over from ancient times. Furnace." Huo Yongxin said affirmatively.

"Okay, let's go to the antique market immediately, I will research the elixir no matter what." Zhao Mu said excitedly.

After finally obtaining a magical ability, he could try to refine the legendary elixir. How could Zhao Mu not look forward to it.As long as the elixir is refined, whether it is for yourself, for family and friends, or for auction, it will be extremely beneficial.

So just relying on this alchemy ability, this Taoist skill can be said to be a top-level skill.

But Huo Yongxin was confused at the moment, although there is also the theory of elixir in Chinese medicine, but the research of Chinese medicine on this aspect only regards it as a form of medicine, and it is not different from soup and medicine in essence.

On the contrary, some alchemists and Taoists have studied elixirs very deeply, and they used elixirs from another aspect to achieve the goal that many doctors could not achieve.Therefore, in ancient times, there were generally no separate families of witch doctors. It was later with the development of medical skills and religion that this ancient profession each embarked on its own development path.

Therefore, there are fewer and fewer people refining elixirs in Chinese medicine. In the end, there are basically no normal doctors who would hide at home to refine any magical elixirs.

But now that Zhao Mu suddenly thought of alchemy, Huo Yongxin was confused, but out of adoring trust in Zhao Mu, Huo Yongxin patiently took Zhao Mu to the antique market.

......

The two people who came to the antique market walked around, but they couldn't find the right thing for a long time.

After looking around several places carefully, it turned out that they were all alchemy furnaces for artistic appreciation, which were not practical at all, and would probably shatter immediately if caught in a fire.

Moreover, these alchemy furnaces are basically all small items, purely for decoration, and there is no huge alchemy furnace as tall as a person as Zhao Mu imagined.

In the end, after walking around for a long time, Zhao Mu and Zhao Mu still found nothing. In desperation, Zhao Mu asked all the booths, but the other party gave very similar answers.

"Young man, none of the alchemy furnaces you mentioned are small ones, and they are not easy to move. Usually, no one can sell them in this kind of place. And which one of the old alchemy furnaces is not expensive? And the market The real ones on the Internet are basically in the hands of collectors, and if you search around like a headless chicken, I’m afraid you won’t be able to find them no matter how hard you look.”

Zhao Mu sighed helplessly, and finally gave up the idea of ​​looking for an alchemy furnace, and could only wait to see if there was an opportunity before looking for another alchemy furnace.

Just like that, the two of them returned to the hotel in despair.

"Mr. Zhao." As soon as he returned to the hotel, Zhao Mu heard the voice of the lobby manager.

"Manager Chen, what's the matter?" Zhao Mu thought for a while, then remembered the other party's last name.

"It's like this. You left some medicinal materials in the kitchen before. We forgot to notify you to take them back to the room. Moreover, those medicinal materials are also expensive things. We are also worried that we will not be responsible for losing some of them during the transportation... ...So can you please put those herbs back in the room?" The lobby manager said respectfully.

"Sorry, let's put those herbs back right now."

Immediately, Zhao Mu and Huo Yongxin entered the kitchen again, but as soon as they entered the kitchen, Zhao Mu suddenly and unexpectedly smelled a special fragrance...
